Don Bradman should have been prosecuted for plundering runs that no normal human had any right to score.
A twenty year career and six thousand, nine hundred and ninety-six runs later, the greatest cricketer of all time had an average of 99.94. Freak.
Whenever he passed fifty, he invariably went on to score a century, as witnessed by his conversion rate of sixty-nine percent. Twenty-nine centuries and thirteen half-centuries. A rare one indeed, to possess such powers of concentration.
Perhaps it was his ability to pick the line and length earlier than anyone else that set him apart, hence putting less mental stress upon him and allowing him to concentrate better than others for longer.
Whatever it was, it was a record without peer and we may not see it replicated for hundreds of years.
Or maybe not.
You simply never know when that next one is coming around the corner. Could the time be upon us?
Joe Root has acquired fourteen hundred and fifty-two runs over the past thirteen months at an average of 85.14. The twenty-four year old is currently attempting a pretty decent impersonation of Bradman.
But it's been one year. ONE YEAR. Let's repeat that: ONE YEAR. Sure the man from Yorkshire has been in the form of his life. There is work to do though.
His conversion rate currently sits at thirty-eight percent, rising to forty-one over the previous year. Yet, as one television commentator commented today, Root has on seven occasions got out for scores between seventy and ninety-nine during his Test career.
Convert those and that conversion rate is significantly enhanced. On most of these occasions this can only be a concentration issue, for when he does reach three figures he tends to go big.
Such as today.
One hundred and thirty-four star-sent runs. And as is often the norm with Root, he saunters to the middle with England reeling at a minimum of runs gained and closing in on a maximum of wickets lost.
In this case, forty-three for three was the damage. Adam Lyth was caught early in the slips while attempting to pan a ball to the legside. Never mind playing straight at the beginning of an inning to one of the best pace attacks in the World. Or anyone for that matter.
Then Alastair Cook tried to cut a Nathan Lyon delivery close enough to cut Cook in half, getting himself caught behind. Two down and then things became somewhat more dire when Ian Bell continued his run of poor form and went one delivery closer to retirement.
But Root always appears up for a crisis. On numerous occasions he saved the day against New Zealand in their recent series. Fortunately old habits die hard, for he was up to his old tricks again. Not that it was easy batting conditions.
This was a pitch that was far from having the verve and carbonation of Adam and Eve on their first meeting. It appeared to have been prepared with only one thing in mind; To negate Australia's pace attack. Fair enough, I guess.
This is debate for another day whether winning at all costs is the go or should the advertisement of the game come first, or does winning alone create enough of an advertisement by itself.
Back to the game in hand, conditions for England should have been worse as Root was dropped by Brad Haddin while still scoreless. If only Haddin had spent the last few months practicing his catching skills rather more than his sledging skills, Australia may have had the English all out for three hundred instead of the three hundred and forty-three for seven they ended on by the close of this first day.
Root, fortunately, is no worrier. He'll simply shrug off the past and launch into a billowing counterattack, often scoring at a strike rate of over one hundred. Sixteen of his initial seventeen runs came by way of fours, his strike rate at one stage even ascending to one hundred and sixty-six.
With the able assistance of Gary Ballance, who some say has limited footwork while others may call it economy of movement, the pair of them combined for a partnership of one hundred and fifty-three. Though Ballance departed at one hundred and ninety-six for four, having accumulated a hard fought sixty-two, there was no panic.
There never is with Root. He simply moves on in life and finds a new partner to share the joys of dampening Australian spirits with. In this case, Ben Stokes.
This dasher is a blaster and while this blaster may not yet be the ultimate master, he casts his sail to the winds of attack. He assaulted fifty-two, and by the time he was bowled by Mitchell Starc, had six fours and two sixes mixed in.
Unlike some, he doesn't gain much flack for his attack, for he more often than not succeeds. So when on the rare occasions he does fail, he is cut some slack.
So he should be. He is a match winner. Much like Root. By the time both had departed, England had reached two hundred and ninety-three for six and had gone some way to quietening the sceptics who believed this series will be a romp for the visitors. England are in good hands. There is hope on that there horizon.
And in Root, there could yet be the chance of that next one coming around the corner.

My door hanging is in honor of all the squirrels who run up and down my fence. They are busy gathering nuts, chatting with anyone who will listen and teasing my dog Lucky!
Here are a few quilts I finished a couple weeks ago before heading to Mt. Hood
I started this baby quilt with zebra striped Minky for the backing. I've never had this happen before and have done quite a few quilts with Minky. For some reason, this particular Mincky was pulling up through the top of the quilt. I replaced my needle, lengthened my stitch length and continued to stitch with no success! I met my client Cathy at Craft Warehouse and they were kind enough to allow her to replace this backing with another Minky fabric. Yes, I had to pick all this out....ugh
The new fabric choice was no problem at all....
This is Susan's baby quilt....she used a red Minky on her back...no problem
I wish the pictures of Susan's quilt were more true to color....the fabrics were much prettier than I am showing.
This is a postage stamp quilt made by Sharon.
It's 94"x94"
Sharon asked that I make and sew the binding on her quilt
Here are a few pictures of how to seam your binding instead of tucking one end inside the other to complete this process.
Both ending strips of your binding should not be angled or turned under. Leave an un-stitched tail of approximately 12" when you begin sewing the binding to your quilt. Stop about 16" from where you started sewing the binding. Now you have two un-stitched ends that can be maneuvered. I always take a few back stitches when starting and stopping.
Next you will take your quilt to your cutting mat.
Add the cut width of your binding strip (usually 2-1/2" or 2 1/4") to your ending tail. Laying your ending tail on top of your starting tail and with raw edges together, draw a line across your ending tail where you have added your cut binding width and cut.
Open both tails and and place them rights sides together at a 90* angle. Mark diagonally and pin. I always open the seam at this point before stitching to make sure I have done this correctly. You will know if you haven't!
After this is stitched together, trim the seam to a 1/4", press open.
Refold the binding and press. Stitch to quilt.
This is Alex Anderson's book Finish It. I am referring to this book constantly as I have in this post.
I highly recommend it.
On a really really fun note....I started an online class yesterday called Feathered Boot Camp. It will be a daily class for the next 5 weeks. I will post my progress...soooo excited!!

"The last thing that is needed is for me to add my thoughts to the mass of words already written about [Pope Francis'] astounding interview."
So I wrote in my last blog post. I chose to ignore myself.
In today's editorial page of the Louisville Courier-Journal, you'll find an op-ed I wrote about Pope Francis' words. I tried, on the basis of some wise advice I received via Twitter, to make my brief essay more of a personal reflection on the pope's words rather than an intellectual dissection of them.
The op-ed can be found here.

Dare to believe.
The change is good.
Even though you've been stopped for a while.
Reflect. Resolve.
Count the ways.
You know better days.
Tomorrow starts now.
Anticipate the new.
Delay the old.
Contemplate the time.
Awaken the joy.
Remind the sorrow.
Time to go.
Visions once had.
Are fresh today.
Novel temptations.
What you want.
Who you are.
It is real.
Push yourself.
Transition dreams.

Try as we might, here at Sunland Park Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM, we can't figure out how it got to be November already. But, we recognize that familiar look of drivers trying to figure out which car will be their best bet for holiday shopping, errand running, and traveling, so it must be that time of year. First and foremost, head on into our El Paso Chrysler dealership and let us help you find a new Jeep SUV or RAM truck. Then, let's get down to business planning for your holiday road trip.
When you're trying to formulate the best way to pack up the car with food and gifts, it's tempting to use up every available inch of space; however, it's a good idea to keep everything in the trunk or behind the rear seat, even if it takes some expert Tetris-style packing. We've all been on the roads for the holidays. With traffic and frequent accidents, sudden stops are par for the course. All of those unsecured items run the risk of jumping off those seats and laps, spoiling a lot of holiday hard work and possibly even injuring passengers.
While we're on the subject of packing the car, it's a great idea to pack it the night before and hit the road in the early AM. If you can see the sunrise from behind the wheel, you're on the right track in terms of time. All of the other best-laid plans, from early afternoon to late at night, tend to go awry, with you and your family sitting in traffic wondering what you could have done differently.
Another benefit of driving early? With a fresh night's sleep in your bones and some coffee or tea in your system, you're liable to be a lot more awake than you will be late at night. We can't caution enough to avoid driving tired. Whether you were running around all week shopping and cooking, or you just had a few extra helpings of Thanksgiving dinner and they've got you feeling drowsy, driving tired brings with it the same risks as driving drunk. And that coffee's just not as effective at night as it is in the morning. So get some shuteye if you can and hit the road rested and refreshed, or as close to it as you can get during the holidays.
Most of all, enjoy spending time with your family this Thanksgiving holiday!

Here we go again. Kansas Citians are debating the wisdom of building a fixed-rail transit system in the urban core. And it's controversial — again.
That's not surprising, given the long history of projects involving proposed light-rail and now streetcar lines.
I'm among the old-timers who have promoted fixed rail — as a crucial economic development tool first and a transit system second — since at least the mid-1990s.
The biggest stumbling block was created by then-Mayor Emanuel Cleaver, who in 1997 deep-sixed exhaustive work to build a light-rail spine from the River Market to the Country Club Plaza. He claimed it wouldn't help a lot of people on the East Side and was aimed at tourists.
Sign Up and Save
Get six months of free digital access to The Kansas City Star
Then followed activist Clay Chastain's numerous light-rail initiatives plus proposals under mayors Kay Barnes (2001) and Mark Funkhouser (2008). Voters defeated all except a Chastain plan the City Council repealed for being financially unfeasible.
This recounting of the past is one reason I have to shake my head at some of the recent actions of many people involved in the current streetcar expansion project.
They have deserved pride in finally getting at least the two-mile streetcar starter line under way. It's a potential game-changer, at least for downtown development.
But they also too often seem to exhibit a dismissive attitude toward anyone who dares to question the wisdom of investing another half-billion dollars or so of local and federal funds in streetcar expansion.
Sorry, but when something is that expensive — and with funding sources up in the air as they are — it's actually OK if people want some very specific answers about the entire project. Even as a fixed-rail booster, I'm hoping to see a more compelling case made for it this summer.
Streetcar backers do have time to get their plan across the finish line.
The first step is to persuade voters in a large chunk of the city south of the Missouri River to endorse formation of a transportation development district that would define who could have to help pay for the streetcar project.
If voters on Aug. 5 approve that district, they get a chance in November to pass a city sales tax increase and a special assessment on properties close to the line. Those revenues would help finance the project, along with a hoped-for huge helping of federal funds, not yet guaranteed.
How high will that local sales tax be? No one knows. This week, Missouri Department of Transportation officials said they were working with the mayor's office on a way to use some revenue from a proposed statewide three-quarter-cent sales tax increase for the streetcar project.
With voter approval of the state tax on Aug. 5, the proposed streetcar tax in November might fall to a quarter-cent.
But trouble keeps popping up for the project.
Days ago, streetcar opponents called "foul" over a contract awarded by City Hall for a community engagement process near the proposed new routes. It basically looks as if the city could spend money in July to try to get out the vote for the streetcar. Mayor Sly James disputes that, saying lower-income residents especially need opportunities "to provide feedback on any topic of concern related to the streetcar project."
I agree with that sentiment, but the timing of the outreach remains odd in a project where the line won't be built until 2019 at the earliest. There's no truly defensible reason this work would have to be done just weeks prior to an August election.
Streetcar supporters often wonder out loud why they are being so scrutinized when costly, sprawl-causing freeway projects get less attention from residents.
So noted. But guess what? When you ask for higher property and sales taxes, people have a right to demand detailed answers. That's what the campaign the next few weeks should focus on providing.

Greenwood Paper Special Issue
Educating Slovakia's Senior Officers
Otto Doornbos
48 pages, ISBN 90-76301-08-5 (6 1999)
This study is a concise account of the problems encountered by Slovakia in establishing a satisfactory education system for senior military personnel following the 'velvet divorce' of the Czech and the Slovak Republics in 1993. Otto Doornbos, a Dutch scholar, had access to all the key documents on reform of military education produced by the Slovaks. He also had the benefit of material obtained by interviews conducted by CESS Programme Manager Sander Huisman. After describing Slovakia's political background, the educational system and the general policy on military education, Doornbos critically analyses the education of senior officers, which was at times subordinated to the political situation. In addition to initial problems concerning 'starting from scratch' and having virtually no experience in conducting further education, until 1998 the Slovak system of higher education suffered from a political atmosphere that was not conducive to reform and innovation.

Vicki Huber Rudawsky: Passing the parents' torchDelaware Online, October 2, 2013
When I was younger, I was a pretty good kid. My parents didn't have much to worry about, mostly because between school activities, homework and a job, I didn't have much free time.
Ironically, it was my running that probably caused my parents the most distress. Looking back as a parent myself, I shudder at some of the ways I unknowingly tortured them.
|Vicki Huber: 8x NCAA Champ
Sometimes, the skies would be black and threatening. Sometimes it would be raining, or snowing. On these days, my parents would ask that I not go running, and I am sure I made a face like they were crazy. I mean, why would I let bad weather keep me from getting my run in?
My dad really got upset when it was snowing and I still headed out in the car for evening track workouts. Whether it was me driving or someone else, he was just so worried that we would get into an accident. He didn't realize that the workout was so valuable that we were willing to take the risk in order not to miss out.
They hung in there, however, and we were all rewarded with a scholarship to college. Then, the torture continued in the form of tearful phone calls. I had a tough time in the beginning, especially since I had never run cross country, and I struggled with the new level of running. I am pretty sure that I called home two or three times a week, crying that the running was too hard and that I didn't think I could make it. Even though I was only 40 minutes from home, there was not much my parents could do to make it better for me. [Huber did struggle and did improve in cross country, finishing 75th (1985), 29th (1986), 9th (1987), and 1st (1989) at NCAA XC Nationals -- VR]
There were only a few races my parents could see since we traveled by plane to most of our meets. I know they sat by the phone and waited to hear we had arrived home safely from wherever we were, but more importantly, that I came away from my races healthy and happy.
I know my parents love me very much, but I also know they repeatedly prayed that some day, I would understand what they went through all these years.
Well, their prayers were answered.
Our daughter, after playing soccer and field hockey for a while, decided running was her sport. It took a while, but eventually she got to the point where she was heading out the door for long runs and track workouts.
When I would ask her where she was running, she would roll her eyes and reply, "I don't knowwwww!" Then she would get in her car and drive away, leaving me with a pit in my stomach until I heard her car rounding the turn into our neighborhood.
|Huber was a two-time USA Olympian
She didn't choose a college close by. In fact, she is farther away than we would like. Thank goodness I have not gotten tearful phone calls every other day, but I do receive text messages letting me know that the workouts are pretty hard and between running and school, she is tired. [Alyssa Rudawsky is currently a freshman on the cross country and track team at NC State University -- VR]
But, she loves it.
Like my mom and dad, we won't be able to see her run a lot because of the distance, and we will sit by the phone for either the call or text letting us know how she did and that she is healthy and safe.
Whoever coined the phrase "what goes around, comes around" really nailed it. For all those times I caused my parents stress with my running, I have lived it myself with our daughter. Mom and Dad, I am so sorry! Thank you for hanging in there.
Vicki Huber represented the USA in the 1988 (6th place, 3000 meters) and 1996 Olympic Games (1500 meters). While at Villanova, she won 8 individual NCAA titles (3 indoor and 3 outdoor titles at 3000 meters in 1987, 1988, and 1989, the 1988 indoor mile, and the 1989 cross country individual title). Huber was USATF national champion in the 1500 meters in 1988, set a USA 5K record, and was 4th at the 1992 World Cross Country championships.

Under New Leadership, Matadors Look to Defend big West Title
The Cal State Northridge softball team opens a new era in 2011 season when it participates in Arizona State's Kajikawa Classic in Tempe, Ariz. Emboldened by a new coaching staff and the return of four All-Big West First Team selections from a year ago, the Matadors enter the 2011 season determined to defend their Big West Conference title and qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
In 2011, CSUN brings in one of its largest rosters in school history, giving new head coach Tairia Flowers plenty of combinations and possibilities for the Matador line-up. Leading the way for CSUN in the batting order are the team's three returning All-Big West selections from a year ago. Seniors Tracy Allen and Jennifer Mosier and junior Jaci Carlsen will all look to build upon the success they had in 2010 with bigger seasons in 2011.
Joining the trio are a pair of seniors, Kristen Mihm and Karla Chaparro, who set several new career highs a year ago and are looking to close out their Matador careers with even bigger seasons. Behind the plate, expect sophomore Mikayla Thielges to see a jump in her production with the increase in playing time.
Early offerings from the team's numerous newcomers indicate juniors Samantha Sloniker and freshman Tanna Bindi should expect to see immediate time in the line-up and in the field. Sloniker is a junior transfers who experienced success at the junior college level, while Bindi is expected to take over responsibilities at first base.
In the circle, the Matadors will be led by junior Hannah Fraijo, the fourth returning All-Big West First Team selection from a year ago. She will be joined by an array of new arms, including freshmen Carly Wade, Leann Lopez and Ashley Aratow. All three bring extensive and successful prep careers to the Matadors and will be counted upon from day one to eat up innings in the circle.
Of course, the other big news surrounding Northridge softball as it enters the 2011 season is the new coaching staff leading the Matadors. In addition to Flowers, who was a member of Team USA in both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics, the Matadors will be led by Caitlin Benyi, Tia Meza and Natasha Watley, all of whom bring illustrious playing and coaching credentials to CSUN.
In Tempe, the Matadors will be tested from the onset. They open the competition against San Jose State, an important game as both SJSU and CSUN are in the same region. Following that game, Northridge faces No. 18 Stanford, the first of two times the Matadors will face the Cardinal in 2011. On Saturday, the Matadors open the day with Western Michigan and then face No. 12 Cal, their second Pac 10 foe of the weekend. Northridge's time in the tournament concludes on Sunday when its squares off against Portland State, a team that defeated the Matadors twice in 2010.
Schedule Note
Due to some travel issues surrounding the Matadors' game Sunday against Portland State, the game has been moved from the Tempe Sports Complex. The Matadors and Vikings will now play Sunday, Feb. 13 at South Mountain Community College at 10:30 a.m. (MT) / 9:30 a.m. (PT). South Mountain CC is located at 7050 S 24th St, Phoenix, AZ 85042. The Matadors' games on Friday and Saturday will remain at the Tempe Sports Complex, which is located at 8401 South Hardy Drive, Tempe, Arizona 85284.
Preseason Prognostications
The Matadors, who finished 2010 at 31-22 overall and 15-6 in the Big West to earn a share of the league title with UC Davis, were picked to finish third by the conference's coaches in their 2011 Preseason Poll. Northridge received 41 points in the poll, though it did not receive a first place vote. For the second-straight year, Cal Poly was picked to win the league, receiving 54 points and three first-place votes. UC Davis, who CSUN tied for the Big West Conference championship in 2010, was picked second with 51 points and three first-place votes. Cal State Fullerton and UC Riverside received the other two first place votes in the poll.
Defensive Dynamos
Over the past three seasons, one of Northridge softball's strengths has been its defensive play. Last season, the team sported a .970 fielding percentage (1085 PO, 491 A, 49 E) to lead the Big West Conference and rank 34th in Division-I. The team also turned 21 double plays in 2010, an average of 0.4 per game, the 25th-best figure in Division-I.
Individually, senior Tracy Allen led the Big West with 151 defensive assists and fellow senior Karla Chaparro finished fifth with 109. The starting left-side of the Matador defense, Chaparro and Allen carry career defensive percentages of .953 and .935, respectively, into their final seasons. In fact, CSUN's three-year average in fielding percentage is .967 in a total of 4,553 chances.
We're All Making Sacrifices Around Here
Over the past two seasons, CSUN has finished second (2009, 55) and first (2010, 56) in the Big West Conference in sacrifice bunts. Over the past three seasons, Northridge has averaged over 50 sac bunts per season. Karla Chaparro owns 21 career sac bunts, the most of any Matador on the team. She finished tied for seventh in the Big West with eight sac bunts in the 2010 season.
Basepaths Beware
For head coach Tairia Flowers, CSUN brings in a steep tradition for aggressively attacking the basepaths. Last year, the Matadors finished 39-of-51 in stolen base opportunities. Jennifer Mosier led the team with a school Division-I-record 18 stolen bases, which ranks ninth in school history for a single season. Jaci Carlsen added six, Tracy Allen finished with four and Karla Chaparro had three in 2010. Mosier has 21 career steals in 23 chances while Chaparro is 17-for-26, Allen is 14-of-19 and Carlsen is 10-of-12. Over the past three seasons, CSUN has swiped 141 bases in 189 chances, a success rate of 75 percent and an average of 47 a year.
I Have the Power
Northridge certainly packed an offensive punch in 2010. After finishing 2009 with a team slugging percentage of .303, the Matadors posted a league-best .398 slugging percentage in 2010. A lot of that jump was due to the Matadors' surge in home runs, going from nine in 2009 to 33 in 2010, the second-most in the conference. Additionally, CSUN led the Big West in on-base percentage (.358), runs scored (239), RBIs (205) and total bases (552). Individually, Northridge had three players finish in the league's Top 10 in slugging and two in batting average and OBP. All those players return to the team in 2011.
Taking one for the Team
Over the past three seasons, Northridge batters have recorded 130 hit-by-pitches, an average of over 43 painful passes to first base per year. In 2010, CSUN led the Big West with 60 HBP and had two players rank in Division-I's Top 50 in Hit-By-Pitch per game. One of those players was junior Jaci Carlsen, who was hit 12 times to rank 47th in the nation at 0.23 per game.
Scheduling Story
In her first season as the head of the Matadors, Tairia Flowers and Northridge will face a tough slate of games in 2011. Of their 53 scheduled contests, CSUN will play a total of 11 games against teams ranked in the initial polls. That figure includes three games at No. 1 Arizona, two games against No. 12 California and No. 18 Stanford and CSUN's 2011 home opener against UCLA (No. 1) on Feb. 23. Outside of the Pac 10, CSUN will face nationally ranked BYU (No. 16), Hawai'i (No. 8) and Ohio State (No. 22). The Matadors will also play contests against Louisville and Oregon State, teams that received votes in the initial polls.
Run Forrest Run
Senior Jennifer Mosier, who earned 2010 All-Big West First Team honors, was one of five players in the Big West to finish ranked among the top 10 in batting average (.367, second, team high), slugging percentage (.547, fourth) and on base percentage (.470, second, team high). For the season, Mosier also led CSUN in hits (51), walks (27) and stolen bases (18). She added to that seven doubles, six home runs and 23 RBIs. Her 18 stolen bases were the most by an individual Matador since 1990, setting a new program Division I record, and rank ninth in school history for a single season.
Allen Wrenches Her Way into Offensive Fixture
Senior Tracy Allen, another Matador to earn All-Big West First Team honors in 2010, had an outstanding junior season both at the plate and the hot corner. She started every game for CSUN at third base in 2010, finishing with new career highs in batting average (.307), hits (50), doubles (8), home runs (7), RBIs (36) and total bases (79). Allen also added a .485 slugging percentage, which ranked ninth in the Big West, four stolen bases and a league-high 151 defensive assists.
Karla's Korner
Senior Karla Chaparro has been a mainstay at shortstop for Northridge over the past two seasons, having started every game. In 2010, Chaparro batted a career-high .243 and also set new career bests with 23 runs, 35 hits, eight doubles, 18 RBIs and 10 walks. Defensively, Chaparro has been outstanding and brings in a career .953 fielding percentage (202 PO, 301 A, 25 E).
Mihm's the Word
Senior Kristen Mihm is looking to have a breakout campaign in her final season for the Matadors. Northridge's top threat as a pinch-hitter since she arrived on campus, Mihm set new career highs in batting average (.302), runs (14), hits (19), doubles (3), home runs (2), RBIs (9) and total bases (28). Both of her home runs last season, the first two of her career, were memorable, lifting CSUN to wins over Oklahoma and UC Riverside.
It Certainly Ain't Hannah Montana
Junior Hannah Fraijo, who earned All-Big West First Team honors in 2010, was one of the Big West's most dominant pitchers last year. Statistically, she finished 18-8 with a 2.69 ERA, 102 K's and a .252 opponent-batting average in 182 innings of work. In terms of her competition, Fraijo led the league in wins, was fourth in ERA and opponent-batting average, second in innings pitched and sixth in strikeouts. She added to that 14 complete games, three shutouts and one save. In two seasons, she is 25-12 with a 2.68 ERA and 153 K's in 272 innings.
Reno 911
Junior Jaci Carlsen, who earned All-Big West First Team honors for her play at second base, was a steady fixture in the line-up for Northridge in 2010. She was one of five players in the Big West to finish ranked among the top 10 in batting average (.324, ninth), slugging percentage (.599, fourth, team high) and on base percentage (.424, fifth). Carlsen added to that a league-high 44 RBIs and 21 extra-base hits, courtesy of 11 doubles, two triples and eight home runs. Defensively, Carlsen sported a .965 fielding percentage in 2010 (111 PO, 82 A, 7 E).
Newcomer Notes
After losing seven letterwinners from a season ago, the Matadors welcome in a cavalcade of new faces for the 2011 season. In the circle, CSUN features three new faces: Ashley Aratow (Fr.), Leann Lopez (Fr.) and Carly Wade (Fr.).
Wade is a left-handed pitcher from Mater Dei HS in Orange County, Calif., who transferred to Northridge after spending the 2010 fall semester at Stony Brook. Aratow is another rookie who brings extensive credentials from her time at the Los Angeles Center for Enriched Studies (LACES). Lopez, a freshman from Redlands, Calif., spent most of the fall season in the circle for Northridge after injuries robbed the team of the services of its other pitchers. Another freshman pitcher, Brianna Elder, plans on taking a redshirt for the 2011 season.
The team has also been spurred by the addition of four junior college transfers: Jessica Fridwall, Korinne Randazzo, Alyssa Ray and Samantha Sloniker. Randazzo and Fridwall were teammates at Mt. SAC and helped lead the Mounties to a state championship in 2009. Sloniker arrives at CSUN after spending the past two seasons at College of the Canyons while Ray was at Allen Hancock, where she played for former Matador great Scia Maumausolo.
In addition to Lopez, the team has three other freshman joining the team for their first season in the college ranks: Madeline Sale, Tanna Bindi and Adrienne Martinez. Sale is a catcher who prepped at Esperanza HS in Yorba Linda, Calif. Bindi is from Stockton, Calif., and should compete for playing time at first base. Martinez is another utility player at Flowers' disposal, having helped Kennedy HS to a Los Angeles city championship last season.

Reminiscence Therapy (RT) involves the discussion of past activities, events and experiences with another person or group of people.
This usually done with the aid of photographs, or other household items and other familiar items from the past including music and sound recordings.
Reminiscence therapy is defined by the American Psychological Association (APA) as "the use of life histories - written, oral, or both - to improve psychological well-being.

Sam Frost makes it Official "He has Left Full Preterism"
Sam Frost has now made it public that he has indeed left Full Preterism officially. Sam didn't really have to tell many of us as we have seen his partial Preterism tendencies for years. Sam values his influence over those who are conflicted along with him on how to rightly divide the full Preterist hermeneutic and will continue to offer those who haven't fully grasped the full Preterist hermeneutic refuge under his wings. I expect Sam will begin setting himself up as the alternative approach to full Preterism so that he may rescue the conflicted for Reformed orthodoxy. I don't believe we have heard the last of Sam Frost in full Preterist circles.
The End of the Earth and Full Preterism
I wrote an article here on PP about 3 years ago dealing with the subject of the end of the Physical earth. Sam's comments then seem to be in stark contrast to what he says now. Sam is currently implying that a never ending earth is part of the full Preterist viewpoint. Some of us never embraced this idea in the first place as we understood the symbolic nature of the language.

Research: Personality traits keep us from seeing eye to eye
By Rachael Rettner
A Woman's Place Is In The Church
The cause of the Catholic clergy's sex-abuse scandal is no mystery: insular groups of men often do bad things. So why not break up the all-male club?
Here they are, the members of history's oldest and most elite all-male club, trying to manage what began as a domestic crisis. For decades, certain priests in America, Europe, Ireland, Brazil (and God knows where else) abused—raped or otherwise molested—children and teenagers not in the frescoed halls of the Vatican but in their own backyards: on camping trips and in cars, in dormitories and confessionals. Those few boys and girls confident enough to tell their secret whispered it to the women they trusted: mothers, aunts, grandmothers. Those few women brave enough to question authority or seek justice from the bishops were hushed up and shut down. In this case Jesus was wrong: the meek did not inherit the earth. They received pious and self-serving sermonizing.
Paul's Adam (Part 3)
Here are three more issues that arise when trying to understand Paul's use of the Adam story. The rest will follow in next week's post. These issues are pretty involved, and so this post is longer than I would like. My apologies in advance.
Created in the Image of God: The ANE Background of the Imago Dei
I want to introduce an article concerning the Image of God in the background of ANE. In this article I see some very important backdrop considerations that would be helpful in understanding a discussion of the "Image of God". I have selected excerpts from the complete article to provide a condensed flavor of the author's investigation.

For the past few posts we've been looking at creation in the Old Testament as a cosmic battle, and we've spent a lot of time seeing how that idea works itself out in the book of Exodus.
The Image of God continued
Recently Sam and I have been debating issues surrounding the Image of God in relation to Man. We left off agreeing on some basic principles but still there is a residual difference and I want to create a new blog trying to highlight those differences for clarity sake so that those who may be interested can summarize my position and check it out for themselves.
"Does Christ confer the Image of God upon man?"
I want to piggy back off a series that Sam is posting on "Gordon H. Clark: The Definition of Man" and most importantly to the Biblical definition of man as regards the Image of God. I want to differentiate that a Biblical understanding of the "Image of God" in lieu of how it is to be understood through a philosophical application is helpful in understanding a primary theme of scripture.

Will You Create Habits that Stick in 2015? My New Video Series Shows You How
You've probably been thinking and reading a lot about resolutions and goals in the last few weeks.
This is the month when we review the year behind us and consider what we want to accomplish in the new year. Maybe you've already written down a few resolutions and even started some. Or maybe you avoid them altogether because the haven't worked out for you in the past.
If you've tried to commit to resolutions in the past and then quit after a few weeks, you're not alone. The vast majority of people don't make it through the first half of the year. Many quit in the first week. In fact, the average person makes the same resolution ten times without success.
I can't tell you how many times I made the resolution to start a regular exercise program. I've joined health clubs, bought equipment, and even worked with personal trainers. But it wasn't until the last few years that I finally figured out how to commit to this goal.
So what do our resolution failures tell us? Are we lazy? Undisciplined? Lacking willpower?
The truth is, you can't accomplish a goal until you know how to form habits. Big goals involve a series of small habits that must become automatic.
Let's say your goal is to lose weight this year. Maybe you've even been specific and said, "I want to lose 25 pounds." But actually reaching that desired goal involves incorporating many new behaviors in your life. You have to change your diet, add exercise to your routine, and maybe include other habits to support your goal.
When you learn how to form habits properly — so you don't give up too soon — you can reach any goal you desire. You can become more of the person you want to be, as you create one positive habit after another.
Even when habits don't relate to bigger goals, they're still powerfully life-changing. For example, if you commit to the small habit of flossing your teeth daily, you can improve your overall health (flossing has been shown to help prevent heart disease, help your immune system, and prevent gum disease and tooth decay).
If you make a habit of sitting down for breakfast with your family for ten minutes, you can improve the quality of your relationships and your overall happiness.
There's no question — it's our habits that define us. And we have the power to create great habits, life-altering habits, when we understand the proven skills involved in forming them. Yes, there is a researched, proven system behind habit creation. Most people don't know it exists or have never taken the time to consider it. That's why they keep failing with their resolutions.
And that's why I've created this free 3-part video series — to help YOU understand the powerful skills of creating indestructible habits.
In the first video, you'll learn:
- Why your inklings that you're capable of far more aren't just inklings — they're true.
- What keeps you from following through on the commitments you make to yourself.
- The reason failing to form habits is not your fault.
- Why making progress toward building positive habits is crucial to your happiness in life.
- The four big myths we all believe about habits and how they are holding you back from success.
- How you can stop feeling overwhelmed, accomplish what matters most to you, and finally realize your potential.
- What you'll experience once you learn how to create rock solid habits for the rest of your life.
But this is just the beginning.
This first video will ensure you get started on the right foot. The next two videos will help you determine a habit you want this year and motivate you to hit the reset button with the right tools and roadmap for habit success. These videos are also free — you just have to opt-in. I'd love for you to share them with your friends or anyone who can benefit from the skills of creating unbreakable habits.

It's the journey toward mastery of a habit, not the success, that brings the most happiness. ~Barrie Davenport #stickyhabits @CoachBarrie
One more thing . . . I usually ask you to leave a comment below, but this time I'd really appreciate comments directly under the video when you click over. I want to know what you think about the video and the info I'm sharing. Will you do that for me? Thank you!

It seemed like a good idea at the time.
The bottom was dropping out of the energy market and oil-field-services giant Halliburton Co. HAL -3.69 % decided to turn adversity into opportunity. Last November, it pounced on competitor Baker Hughes Inc. BHI -4.20 % to form a proposed entity that would rival industry top dog Schlumberger Ltd. SLB -2.17 % in size and scope.
The deal would be complicated and risky but worth it because it was a twofer: It would yield significant cost savings and probably a stock-market rating more in line with Schlumberger's historical premium over peers.
That was then and this is now. Analysts' expectations for Halliburton's full-year 2015 earnings per share already had dropped from $ 5.35 that August to $ 4.82 at the time of the deal as petroleum prices cratered, according to FactSet. Now analysts expect only $ 1.49.
The gloom deepened last Thursday when Schlumberger's management said on its earnings call that the industry's woes "were shaping up to be the most severe downturn in the industry for decades."
Halliburton's stock fell in response. Its own results on Monday should look bleak, too: Analysts expect it to report third-quarter earnings per share of 28 cents versus $ 1.41 a year earlier.
But cheer up—there is still a chance to make lemonade out of lemons, and not just because Halliburton's stock is a third lower since unveiling the deal and probably good value.
An even bigger bargain is its target. Antitrust concerns may yet derail the deal or require even more extensive divestitures. If it goes through, though, the combined value of Halliburton stock and cash on offer is worth nearly $ 61 a share for Baker Hughes. The stock closed Friday at $ 53.83. If a deal closes by Dec. 15 as planned, then that premium is good for an 85% annualized profit.
That reflects risks, of course, but those are mostly Halliburton's. It will have to pay $ 3.5 billion to Baker Hughes if antitrust concerns derail the tie-up, some 15% of that company's now depressed market value. Timing is everything and, nearly a year after its big gamble, it is finally time to be bullish on Halliburton—by owning Baker Hughes.

George Gascoigne
Gascoigne was a pioneer in English Renaissance literature. A resourceful innovator, he was among the first English writers to use such literary forms as the prose comedy, verse tragedy, verse satire, novel, and critical essay. Gascoigne's The Supposes (1566) is the oldest existing English prose comedy, and his Jocasta (1566) is the second oldest English tragedy in blank verse.
Gascoigne also wrote The Adventures of Master F. J. (1573), which has been called the first English novel. His satiric poem The Steele Glas (1576) was the first original English poem, other than a verse drama, to be written in blank verse. Gascoigne also wrote fine lyric poetry.

A final decision on a new runway in the southeast looks likely to be delayed until next week.
A meeting to determine airport expansion in the southeast was postponed due to today's Commons debate and vote on military action in Syria.
The subject of a new runway is now unlikely to be approached before Monday, the Times reported.
A ten-strong cabinet sub-committee had been due to meet yesterday to consider the case for expansion, with a new northwestern runway at Heathrow widely tipped to be approved over expansion of rival Gatwick.
The latest twist in the airport expansion saga came as Virgin Atlantic was reported as attacking the "exorbitant cost" of a third runway at Heathrow.
Virgin Atlantic complained that airlines would be charged more "than is fair or necessary" to use the airport, because it believes that the £17.6 billion construction cost would be passed on.
Heathrow's second biggest carrier after British Airways said that it supported the principle of a third runway but insisted that the airport must "share the benefits of growth between consumers, businesses and local residents".
The airline said: "The exorbitant cost of new infrastructure must be reined in, and today's passengers must not be asked to fund infrastructure they may never use, or not for another ten years."
Willie Walsh, the chief executive of BA parent company International Airlines Group, said last week that the expansion of Heathrow would place an outrageous burden on airlines and passengers.
Meanwhile, London mayor and Uxbridge & South Ruislip MP, Boris Johnson, claimed an expanded Heathrow would expose more residents to noise than the next five biggest airports in Europe combined.
MPs on the environmental audit select committee had said that approval for a third runway should not be granted until Heathrow could meet key conditions on climate change, air quality and noise.
The committee yesterday published written evidence submitted to the inquiry from environmental groups, residents and airlines.
Johnson told MPs that Heathrow would remain "the worst airport in Europe for aircraft noise", with more people exposed to unreasonable levels than its five main European rivals – Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid and Munich – combined.
Heathrow has said that fewer people would ultimately be exposed to noise because of the introduction of quieter aircraft, steeper landing approaches and more accurate flight paths.
But Johnson said: "Claims that a third runway delivers less noise stretch credulity. Modelling undertaken with assumptions closer to today's operation suggest a million people would be exposed to significant noise by a three-runway Heathrow."
Responding to the environmental audit committee's report, Heathrow environment and sustainability director, Matt Gorman, said earlier this week: "The committee is absolutely right that the environmental impact of a third runway must be considered alongside the economic benefits expansion will bring.
"Our new plan for expansion has ensured that Heathrow will be quieter, public transport to the airport will be transformed and air quality will continue to be improved and limits will be met.
"We have committed to significantly increase the amount of time each night without any scheduled flights but believe the start and finish time of a night flight ban should be decided by government through consultation, which must include the local community."

At last, that sucky music Mishko likes was replaced by something listenable. How come you never tell us what's playing? I particularly liked the piece that reminded of Led Zeppelin's Moby Dick. What was that?
So is Mishko to blame for that crappy, "Whatever," song? :-)
I hate judeo-punk music. Real punk is ok, but judeo-punk – oy vey.
I get blamed for a lot of things, but that one is not my fault. I think it it would be better for people to worry about the content than the music. D and I find it funny, and like it, that's my story and I'm sticking too it.
All the Best,
British metal band IRON MAIDEN is worthy music for any good white man to listen to. True art with intelligence and integrity, not like most of the drugged out degenerate bands promoted by the jew record labels.
We are focused on the content and it's good, but because being critical is always more fun than being supportive, we tend to focus on the parts that suck more than those that are good.
Keep up the good work (but get rid of that damn song). Hehe.
That "Whatever" song is getting on my nerves.
As to the content, its pretty much the same as always.
You guys should change theme sometimes. Maybe something about how to get chicks would interest your audiences enough to not bitch about your choice of music?
Here's my suggestion for a "Whatever" replacement:
"That 'Whatever' song is getting on my nerves"
I agree 100 percent. And, whenever I am out and around town and see young white males with corn rows in their hair, and with their pants hanging down off their asses, with half of their underwear showing, and these wiggers are sporting pierced nose rings, while shucking & jiving to negro rap music on their boom boxes – I begin to wonder if the purpose of VOR is really legitimate or are they merely pandering to the negrofication of the White male – instead of trying to wean these wiggers off the Jews brainwashing?
Linder says No Jews, Just Right. I say in order to turn white men back into white men, the policy also needs to be: No Negro Worship, Just Right.
I must say the music is annoying, it gives me a headache. It also doesn't fit with an intellectual show.
*My comment was meant for Dr. Sunic's program.
i am a homosexual who happens to be WHITE,when i fill out a job application i have to check the same white box on the affermative action page of the application that YOU DO,there is no magic GAY box to check the way you have some believe.I get discriminated against for being white the same way you do…
I have good news for you Steve. The new 'hate' crime legislation will consider you a specially protected group. Happy now?

Truth & Rumors: USGA discussing long putter rule
Hear that? That faint ringing from the direction of Colorado? That might be the death knell for anchored putters leaking out from the USGA meetings at this week's U.S. Amateur at Cherry Hills.
That's the word from Sean Martin of Golfweek, at least, who sent this tweet from an anonymous source at the USGA meetings:The Rules of Golf aren't set to change until 2016, so long-putter putters (that's you, Webb) should have some time to adjust if a ruling goes through. We'll see soon enough.

I stomped my feet like a child yesterday. And I yelled.
How embarrassing.
I just couldn't take it. No one in my family was LISTENING to me. The thing was, we needed to get ready to leave. And for some reason new Godzilla Wii game, no one seemed to care. The kids needed teeth and hair brushed and shoes on. And, hello, NO ONE WAS LISTENING TO ME!!!
So I threw a mommy fit and stomped my feet.
And, oh yes, they paid attention. But I totally looked like a fool. I'm brilliant that way.
Before you go all kamikaze on me and congratulate me on ruining my children by example, KNOW that I did go back and explain to them why what I did was wrong and all that.
B U T here is the funny thing – I have to giggle. Really. I kind of enjoyed my moment of insanity. I rarely do stupid and asinine things. My little tantrum was freeing, albeit in a warped way.
Makes me wanna take it a bit further and perhaps walk deep into the forest and let out the biggest scream I can muster. Wouldn't that be SHOCKING?
Who knows what would come after that? I might tattoo "I Can't Hear You" on my arm. We're talking mommy mahem here!
I think I need therapy.

My grandfather tried in vain to instill a sense of patience sufficient to allow five whole minutes to pass in silence while we fished from his boat. An enthusiastic if unremarkable angler, my grandfather was one of those guys for whom a bad day drowning worms beat a good day doing just about anything else. It was the process, not the fish, that he enjoyed. But as a kid I just couldn't hold still for very long, so he figured out early on that in order to engage my interest enough to permit him to enjoy himself, I had to get a fish every now and then. So when we'd go for more than five minutes without a nibble, he'd sigh, start the engine, and move to another part of the lake.
Eventually I asked him why we kept going further into the wilderness and why we changed spots so quickly. He looked at me sagely.
"Ian, if you don't have the time to be patient, sometimes it's just easier to go where the fish are."
But it also has Chippendales. And it's one of the cheapest shows in the joint.
Chippendales are, of course, the internationally renown group of male burlesque strippers. They were Magic Mike before there was a Magic Mike. Featuring a constantly-rotating cast of buff young men, the Chippendales are perhaps the most socially-acceptable all-male hetero revue a woman could attend. The fellas strut and dance, work the ladies up into a frenzy, and then pose for pictures afterward while the ladies are basking int he afterglow.
Only, the ladies don't actually have an afterglow. Indeed, the ladies-only show has a tendency to keep them in a frenzy. With that much raw testosterone and musculature flexing in their faces -- not to mention the large, economy-sized slabs of penis these fellas carry just a scrap of nylon from the noses of said ladies -- you can just imagine what kind of raw Alpha inspiration they've been exposed to. By the time they get to pictures, some of these women (who apparently haven't been touched by a man in a long, long time) are near to quivering with anticipation.
If there was ever a place where the fish were, so to speak, this is it.
Seriously, for my single male readers who are trying to round out their idea of Game over here in the married parts of the 'sphere, remember that if you're fishing scant waters you'll likely go home with an empty basket -- whether your fishing catch-and-release or you plan to eat it.
I talk to plenty of single dudes who are eager for Game advice, and then get bitter when the same crappy bars and book clubs are introducing them to the same small pool of pussy. Pussy often requiring far more Game than it's worth. But hanging outside of the Chippendales show and watching everyone from a nineteen-year-old bridesmaid to a sixty-nine year old spinster leave slug trails across the casino after that show suggests that finding a large pool of pre-seduced women is like my grandfather and I stumbling across a school of starving fish.
Remember, fellas: women have responsive desire, which means that they don't get hot without a reason, usually. Women are also more-likely to seek out such stimulating entertainment as the pecs and abs of the Chippendales when they are close to ovulation -- prime sexy time -- and when they go in groups, the FSM mandates that they take a sluttier approach than, perhaps, they are used to. Throw them into a vat of Primal Alpha, pheromones, cheap drinks and What Happens In Vegas, and the result is -- excuse the expression -- like shooting fish in a barrel.
As I've mentioned in the past, it doesn't really matter who is the perpetrator of the Alpha is -- if a woman witnesses an Alpha performance of any kind, it's going to start the tap running. You can take advantage of it or not, but once it's running, it's pretty damn hard to shut off. Put a horny chick in a room full of other horny chicks and stick the biggest dick they've ever seen three inches from her nose, and that's enough to make a nun gush.
Nor were the ladies in attendance uniformly old spinsters with cobwebs in their coochies: thanks to Vegas being a popular spot for bachelorette parties, and Chippendales being a mandatory stop on that circuit. There were plenty of young, hot, and single babes panting and flushing after the show. A blind homeless dude could have gotten laid with those odds.
Chippendales isn't the only venue you can take advantage of. Women find themselves aroused after any number of exciting and sexually-stimulating displays. I've had good reports following football games, NASCAR events, Ultimate Fighting Championship, and other brute displays of naked competition. Rock concerts, as I've mentioned in the past, are particularly noteworthy for turning up the seat-heat in a woman. The vibrations, the crowd, and the in-your-face sexuality of most male rock stars is more than enough to make her want to fuck someone . . . and that might as well be you.
Professional sports is another great place to find pre-horny women. Everything from roller derby to professional football can give women the visceral excitement they need to keep the panties moist. Witnessing a naked display of aggression and competition is hot-making for most women.
Another serious vein of wet panties is -- I shit you not -- the firing range. An older friend of mine goes every Sunday morning, and after wasting $50 of 9mm ammunition he takes a break and susses out the possibilities. Especially for the mid-30s crowd, Sundays seem to be a popular time for women to shoot, and he makes plenty of pick-ups there. He's often said that the bigger the gun a woman fires, the easier time she'll be to get in bed.
Yet another good external cue is motorcycles or horses. Many women still have a latent sexual association with horses left over from their little-girl My Little Pony phase. Seeing a powerful animal, so graceful and beautiful, as well as the smell of horse, straw, and manure that accompanies them, is often enough to get a woman hyped up. And my brother Lester once had a girlfriend with a motorcycle fetish -- not uncommon. If they were driving down the road and a sport-bike whizzed by, her panties got wet just at the sound of the muffler. If they got passed by a convoy of motorcycles, she would make him pull over and give him head.
Romance novels are another horny-making device. If your woman likes them, don't try to interfere . . . but pay close attention to her visible responses while she's reading, and if she starts to squirm and press her thighs together while she's reading, it's time to pounce. And ten minutes with Christian Grey and his sex toy collection can work decidedly in your favor. Indeed, if you see a woman reading 50 Shades of Grey openly, then consider her pre-primed and potentially even consciously looking for dick.
It's important, of course, to not come to rely on this kind of stimulation, should you be married or in a LTR. Couples who regularly have to find their erotic inspiration outside of the bedroom are on the path to divorce, more often than not. Going to Chippendales in Vegas and getting keyd up is one thing . . . stalking the local college ROTC so that she can find a good place to park while the young shirtless men can jog by five times a week is quite another.
In extreme cases it can lead to the cuckolding lifestyle, with the wife entering a Bull Alpha's harem while the mild-mannered Beta looks on, films his woman's antics with the "real man", and hopes like hell she'll still want to throw him a pity fuck afterward. It's as bad --actually, probably a lot worse -- than being "addicted to porn" and requiring to view it before you can fuck your wife. If she can only find satisfaction in the arms of a Bull, then your relationship has some issues.
Of course, if she's just lusting over a 25 year old muscular gigolo who's getting paid for the service, you don't have too much to worry about in terms of cheating. You may, however, get the message that she'd like more Alpha in her diet if she's eager for such entertainments. You may also want to come up with your own little dance routine, complete with props and banana hammock, with the caveat that it must be delivered with utter confidence or you'll probably just look fruity.
But if you're single, horny, and looking for an easy strike, go where the fish are. If you're enterprising enough you'll ferret out where all the bachelorette parties go, what clubs have a ladies' night, etc. Find the places where the horny women hang out, and maximize your potential for the evening. If nothing else, it allows you to practice Game on a receptive audience, and gives you lots of experience in approach and confidence.
As far as my own Chippendales experience, you'll be interested to know that Mrs. Ironwood skipped it -- not because she doesn't enjoy rock-hard chiseled abs (they're a welcome change of pace, I imagine), but because she didn't want to get three-drinks-minimum drunk and horn-out in front of professional colleagues, nor did she want to witness her (mostly single and perpetually aroused) colleagues freak out over the idea of fresh cock. It's not that she gets offended but . . . well, there are just some things you can't un-see.
Sure, I felt objectified, cheap, and a little used afterward . . . but isn't that what Las Vegas is for?
Good luck fishing, fellas!
