I've been thinking of recording the sounds of some of the places I visit and Texas had some really unique sounds.
First there was the nasty javalinas, which are 60 pound hairy pig-like creatures (but they are not pigs). I wish I had a photo but they were too elusive and I only saw one once. It was the time I heard one that was frightening.
Ray and I were on a trail headed for a picnic near a spring, where there were some trees to provide shade, when I heard this click, click, click. It sounded just like when you close your teeth together. At first it didn't register. Then I heard it again – click, click, click. I turned to Ray, "Did you make that sound?" "No." I recalled then a ranger had told us about that sound. Then, from inside the bushes, came this nasty growling sound coming from a creature that was very upset with our presence. I don't know how to describe it. It sounded like an angry badger or a wolverine or some other animal I have never heard before. Well Ray and I high tailed it back to the truck and ate our lunch in safety.
Then there is the sound of the coyotes. I love that sound. Yip yip yip yaooooo in the night as they gather their pack.
But the most memorable sound was not a sound at all, it was the silence.
Guadalupe Mountains National Park is known for its silence and its darkness being so far away from any city lights. We camped at the base of the mountains and I thought it would be a great opportunity to try some star trail photography. Unfortunately the direction where the mountains had the most interesting shape also had some lights from the restrooms that stayed on all night. So I had no choice but to point my camera the other way.
Photographing from right beside the RV is extremely convenient when there are strange animals in the woods (and Ray didn't want to stay up late that night). I set up my camera behind the RV and got out my lawn chair and my sleeping bag and settled in for an hour of silence and star gazing. Everything was going pretty well until I heard a few clicking sounds – or did I imagine that? I started listening really hard. There are noises. Then the coyotes started yipping. The yipping was kinda close. Are they getting closer? Finally realizing I wasn't enjoying the silence anymore and I was sitting there in fear, my heart beating faster and faster, I decided to take shelter inside the RV leaving the camera on the tripod outside. I could see the back LCD of the camera so every time the shutter closed the LCD would come on. My handy remote controlled shutter release allowed me to trip the shutter again every time I saw it.
Here is the final result. Please click the image to view a larger version.
I made this image by taking 55 30 second exposures. I intended for there to be 60, but I didn't count, I just kept tripping the shutter for what I thought was 30 minutes. I did some minor processing on one image in Lightroom and copied the processing to all the other images. 6 of the frames had UFOs in them (it was really close to New Mexico after all). On those 6 frames I used the healing brush in photoshop to remove the trail left by the plane or satellite or alien starship. Then I exported all the images as jpeg's. Then I imported all the images into a program called StarStaX which combined them all using the "lighten" blend mode which takes all the brightest pixels from each frame.
The stars in the resulting image looked great, but the foreground was all soft and blurry. When I was making the exposures, I also made one 30 minute exposure just to see how that turned out in comparison with the stacking technique. I like it too, but the star trails were not as bright. However, the foreground looked great in comparison to the stacked image. So I took the foreground from the long exposure and blended in with the stacked image to get some detail in the mountains.
I wish the mountains were a better shape but the added benefit of changing direction was that polaris was in the frame since I pointed my camera north, which is why the stars are going around in a circle.
Have you every tried star trail photography? If you have any tips please leave them in the comments and feel free to leave a link to your images too!
Gorgeous star trails Anne. Never though about the sounds of the night but of course I have never been on a year long ross trip in a RV!
Len Saltiel recently posted..Rugged
I have never tried star trail photography and I think this is the first time I have heard about it.. Looks definitely interesting..Thanks for the idea..
Laura recently posted..Waiting for Easter in London
Good post, many times sounds and smells can be more powerful an experience than a visual.
I am so impressed!
If you don't know of Michael Menefee, you should, as he does some of the best star trail photos ever:
I miss the sound of wilderness silence.
Thanks for sharing this image. I have been wanting to try this forever, and I think you have given me enough encouragement to get out and do it. Wonderful image.
Wow fantastic image Anne. I've always wanted to shoot star trails but haven't found myself anywhere where there are no lights interfering. Hopefully this summer.
Edith Levy recently posted..Shoot & Share – Getting Your Photographs Out Into The World – A New Craft & Vision eBook
Anne, since you asked for tips, you know there are those thingies called intervalometers They are great because let the camera do the work by itself.
I haven't tried any star trail photography myself yet. I think the prevailing wisdom is that putting many exposures together is better than a long exposure with digital due to noise issues compared to film.
Michael Russell recently posted..Downtown Vancouver During Blue Hour
Hi Anne, I agree with QT and Michael that using an intervalometer will save you having to babysit the exposures, and combining the shorter exposures to avoid digital noise is the way to go.
Russ Bishop recently posted..Shoot+Share – New eBook from Craft & Vision
I've never thought of doing this, or anything like it. This is a superb result – well crafted and thought out.
LensScaper recently posted..Getting the Picture, Developing the Image
Awesome star trail Anne! I've always wanted to try it, but I just live so close to Boston that there's no way I could get the darkness required to perform such a task. Maybe, eventually, I'll have the time to travel out to the desert and really try to capture something like this!
Thanks for explaining how you went about grabbing the shots and processing the final results – really nice to know how it's all done!
John recently posted..Phogropathy Turns One
Anne this is amazing!! I have always wanted to try it. Love how you explained how you captured and processed it.
It took some work for sure, but you got a great shot there. Thanks for sharing it with us. The stars look breathtaking tin the sky. Wow!!!
Laura @Travelocafe recently posted..The Botanical Garden from Valencia. Kitties and Flowers
Really great image you produced, Anne. I've been wanting to do one of these. I'll have to escape the light pollution of civilization for a few hours.
I live in a rural area so I know what you mean about the sounds of night.
Wonderful job on this, you should be proud of the effort.

Holding the Line
The Environmental Record of the 107th Congress
The 107th Congress, in session in 2001 and 2002, was largely deadlocked over environmental matters. Throughout the two years, the Bush administration and like-minded senators and representatives put forth proposal after proposal to dismantle environmental protections, but environmental advocates in Congress blocked most environmentally damaging legislation from becoming law. With Senate leadership shifting in the 108th Congress, however, holding the line on environmental protection will prove even more difficult. This December 2002 report tracks the environmental record of the 107th Congress and identifies issues to watch in the 108th.

Pictured above: Roya, or coffee leaf rust, on the leaf of a coffee plant in Guatemala.
This month we are taking a glance at the coffee producing country of Ecuador.
As you sip your morning cup of coffee and enjoy the flavorful, hot beverage gliding down your throat do you ever wonder about the origin of the coffee you're enjoying? Are you curious about the story of the coffee farmers who cultivated the coffee crop? I know I am! It is amazing that coffee is grown in so many different countries around the world. Each coffee prod
Brazil is the world's largest coffee producer, so how much coffee are we really talking about? Well, let's take a closer look at this coffee producing heavy weight.
October was a tragic month for many living in Central America. Heavy rains caused landslides and floods across Central American countries, including El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Costa Rica and parts of Mexico. At least 105 people lost their lives with an additional million people displaced.

Over the last few years merino wool has become the new craze in base layers, claiming (when compared to synthetic base layers) the very desirable properties of natural feeling, odor resistance and eco-friendliness.
I was lucky enough to get the chance to put some of these claims to the test this back in May, taking a full set of Chocolate Fish Taranaki merino base layers (leggings, boxers and top) to Alaska for a month of camping on a glacier and possibly some climbing. However, not having used merino before, the thought of weeks without access to any kind of washing facilities made me throw a couple of sets of synthetic base layers into the bottom of my kit bag in reserve... which is where they stayed, untouched for the duration of the trip.
"The cut of all three garments is superb..."
What are the differences between merino wool and synthetic baselayers?
Here are some points to consider:
Chocolate Fish merino versus the hot humid and mosquito infested Chena Valley, Alaska (pic Steven Fortune).
© UKC Gear, Oct 2009
The Taranaki (a volcano in New Zealand in case you wondered) base layers use a 190 grams per square metre, superfine merino cloth which is pleasantly light (I've never been a fan of 'winter weight' base layers) and feels very comfortable and natural on the skin.
The cut of all three garments is superb, giving a slim, neat fit without being over tight as well as providing plenty of length in the leg and arms; an area I frequently find lacking in outdoor clothing. Their first outing was a three-day trip up and over the classic North Buttress on Mount Hunter. As usual on a big Alpine route this involved everything from sweaty overheating to frigid shivering during which I'm pleased to say, I didn't once experience the grim, sticky, clammy feeling I get using synthetic base layers.
"...the best base layers I've ever used by miles..."
What about odor?
As for the smell, after a day or two airing at base camp they smelt fresh and pleasant to put back on. Subsequent use included a long hot ski, some more climbing and blizzard battle or two before ongoing poor weather urged retreat to showers and civilisation. There, unlike the rest of my mountain clothes happily abandoned to fester in storage they accompanied me on a few days travels as ideal mosquito proof hot and humid travel wear.
Nearing the summit of Mount Frances, Chocolate Fish merino passes another work-out with flying colours (pic Steven Fortune).
© UKC Gear, Oct 2009
The Taranaki Zip Top
The top features a neat, long chest zip giving plenty of ventilation options and is superbly cut with good length in the body to tuck in as well as on the arms. The sleeves are snug but not tight fitting and easily pulled up if needed. As well as being extremely comfortable to wear, the fabric proved impressively tough surviving bushwacking, mosquitoes and several hundred metres of steep granite crack action, without a mark.
The Taranaki Leggings
The leggings continue the theme being extremely well cut with plenty of length and a very comfortable non-chaffing waistband.
The Taranaki Boxers
Without wishing to sound too much like a stuck record, the boxers also impress for the same reasons. Surprisingly few climbing clothing companies produce wicking smalls. I've always found this odd as unless going commando is your thing, wearing ordinary boxers in the hills almost guarantees suffering. Get a pair of these and you won't be disappointed.
Possibly the only activity for which I'll continue to use synthetics is running, where the slightly faster drying time when continuously pouring sweat, wins. For all other climbing/mountaineering/travel activities I'm sold on merino. Compared to other merino options out there, the competitive price, build quality and home grown manufacturing credentials make Chocolate Fish products a definite winner.
In summary, the best base layers I've ever used by miles and already up there with my favourite take everywhere, every time kit... superb.
Price: Top £52.95, Boxers £25.95, Leggings £36.95

This weekend's race was my first road race in the US and
incidentally a UCI race as well.
The race was the Tour of Battenkill which was only one day but was 200
kilometers(124miles) which was 30% dirt.
I was pretty nervous for this race because it was the first race with my
new team Holowesko Partners and I was hoping not to make a fool of myself.
When race day came it was raining and cold which just added
to the my anxiety for the race.
Not only was this race 200k long with some serious competition but it
was going to be nasty out. Road
racing is a completely different game than mountain biking when it comes to
weather. A mountain bike race is
typically an hour and forty-five minutes long and you choose what you are going
to wear right before the race and just go. The temperature usually doesn't fluctuate too much in that
In this race we were going
to be out for a lot longer than a mountain bike race and dressing right is key
to having a good day and performing well.
With help from the other guys on the team I dressed in what I thought
would be best for the chilly day.
I wasn't anticipating how cold it got at 100k. It was so cold that I was shivering and my toes and fingers
were numb. My teammates hands were
so cold that we were pulling food out of each others pockets because we
couldn't reach back and pull out bars ourselves.
Adding to the fun was the dirt sections, on the first lap when it was really
raining hard the mud section was like a mountain bike race. Everyone was covered from head to toe
with mud and by just looking at pictures most would assume it was a cross
race. Luckily, it stopped raining
and warmed up a bit making the rest of the race a lot more enjoyable.
As far as the results go, my teammate Caleb Fairly won the
race after riding solo for about 10 km-AWESOME. I finished in the pack about three minutes down from the
winner, a result that I'm really happy with considering how nervous I was for
the race. To give a perspective on
how difficult the day was only 59 out of 169 finished and the pack finished 20
minutes faster than last years winner and the weather was much worse this
Now I'm getting ready for my trip to Europe where I'll
compete in both mountain bike and road events. My first race is going to be Houffalize World Cup in
Belgium. Last year I had a lot of
mechanicals at this race and didn't have the best result but it was my favorite
race of last year and I'm excited to go back. Despite the bad result the crowds that come out for the this
race are tremendous and cheer for everyone.
Right before Europe I'm heading
down to Albequerque, New Mexico for the Road Runner classic. It is a road race that I was
signed up for last minute and will be a quick in and out trip. The promoter is doing a lot to
make this race a success in its first year and it sounds like it is going to be
a good event.
Next update will be from
Europe-wish me luck.

My pram by far is the best purchase I have made! I really took my time to look round and find the perfect one for me. As I have had two children before I knew how important this descion is. I decided on a silvercross 3D its small compact easy to push and a bargain.
The Quinny Buzz may look the part, but that's about it. Here are the problems we had with ours:
1. You really struggle getting it on public transport.
2. It doesn't come with a proper shopping basket. The buzzbox is ok for nappies and wipes, but doesn't hold anything bigger than a bottle of milk.
3. It's so wide we have trouble getting round most shops, especially at Christmas.
4. The footrest doesn't stay in one position.
5. One of the main screws fell out when were out walking, leaving me struggling to try and get it home whilst holding the baby! This was after just 5 months of using a BRAND NEW £300 PRAM.
In all, it's a pile of c**p and I honestly CANNOT recommend this pram to anybody!
I am very fond of my Mamas and Papas Ziko Alfie.As a confirmed pedestrian and public transport user i needed something light and easy which would keep baby cosy and stop me from losing my rag.
When i had my last baby eleven years ago,i fell in to the trap of purchasing a big old expensive titanic of a pram which unfortunatley was chucked to one side in favour of a stroller.I had no intent of making the same mistake twice so i did my research.
My Alfie is very portable,it is not unduly bulky or heavy.It has a number of back rest settings which have proven helpful with my colicky baby,who likes to be reasonably upright for comfort.It also has steering control which you can adjust to suit terrain which is very handy.
I paid just under £150 for a buggy which is practical and stylish and it came with the cosy toes and rain cover included. The only gripe i have is the shopping basket which is petite and a bit difficult to get at when baby is flat,however this perhaps say's more about the amount of crap i tend to carry rather than the dimensions of the buggy.
My only other wish would be a seat which could face both ways which would have been nice in the early days however that aside Willow and i rate this very highly .
X Sharon and Little Willy.
actually , i am not enjoying mine at all !! i have just bought it about 2 months ago !
it was new , but not as i expected it to be , it is HAUCK , WINNE THE POOH .
it can hardly be pushed specially , when you hang your stuff on its hands !!
it is heavy and can not been folded as it was shown in the announcement !! , so it takes a big space ! add to this , that it is huge , that it is not easy to fit it in the buses , or even to shop with it easily !!
do not forget that its handles can not been adsjested to suit different peoples heights !!
and regarding to the toddlers tray , it was originally scratched , and the bottle room does not fit the wide neck bottles at all !!
i really feel sorry because i bought it !!!!!!!!!
I am over the moon with my pram. I bought mine laast january before my daughter arived in april. It is the Graco Travel system (black Stripe) It came with carrycot, car seat, foot muff, change bag and of course the pushchair part. Extras we bought were the car seat base and raincover. The one hand fold down system is brilliant and so easy to use. It is easy to unfold and set up, with a very useful basket on the bottom. Against all other prams we looked at this was bar far the most suitable for our needs, as i said the basket is wonderful as you can lower the front to get items underneath without forcing and struggling. It is easy to push and manouevor and was very reasonably priced, I would recommend this pram to anyone.
It was priced at £259 in Toys r us and Mothercare however we got ours (brand new) at a bargain price of £220 included raincover, car seat base and parasol from our local sunday market with 6 months guarantee.
my husband picked the pram we were in mothercare it was a three wheeled travel system with the wheels that move (think it is called the Sherpa)
good points
the wheels move so it is very easy to push
it has a collapse button so it is easy to get down and up
good use of space to carry bags
came with car seat which clips in
came with change bag that hangs on like part of the pram
snuggle sack on pram comes of to wash
bad points
the collapse button is on the bottom when folded down so gets scratched and easily damaged (ours broke off in year two)
the rain cover was awful it did not fold up very well and eventually the wires poked through and was awkward to attach
bit of a nuisance on the bus but all prams are these days because no one helps you but not bad for the price i was hoping i could use it for the next one but not sure now the button broke (i bought it as an investment to start our family and keep using it through our growing family it will do but i may have to buy a new one
We bought the Silver cross 3d. Has proved to be a really good buy, and as above a relative bargain in comparison to otherson the market. Only criticism, which I think is impossible to get aroudn at te moment, is any proam with hard plastic wheels seems to not cope as soon as you take it onto anything gravel based! Why can one of the larger manufacturers not create a pram with interchangeable wheels? 1 set of hard wheels for flat surfaces and 1 set of inflated wheels for slightly more off road? You get quick release seats and wheels on bikes, so really cant see how difficult it would be to do something similar on prams?
Christine's right! - Silvercross prams are definately the way to go. We bought a coachbuilt silver cross which is an amazing talking point. Everyone you meet or pass by is so keen to talk to you and see the baby it really makes you feel like part of the community again. People actually ask you to stop whilst they pick up their son or daughter to look inside. It's also got wonderful suspension so that our baby doesn't feel any big bumps when we're out and about and is like a second cot - he's lying flat which is good for his spine. It may be a little heavier than other prams and buggies, but I feel like the coachbuilt body gives our wee boy extra protection too.
I love it!

Jobs magazine.[22]
Location and campus[edit]
SVA operates out of several buildings located in the Gramercy Park neighborhood, on Manhattan's east side, and in the Chelsea neighborhood, on the city's west side. From 1994 to 1997, the college also had a branch campus in Savannah, Georgia. However, the campus was closed following a lawsuit from the Savannah College of Art and Design.[23]
209 East 23rd Street[edit]
The college's 209 East 23rd Street building, located between Second Avenue and Third Avenue, features classrooms, administrative offices, a cafeteria (Moe's Cafe) and an amphitheater. The upper floors are mostly designated for the film, video, graphic design, advertising, illustration and cartooning classes. The building also houses the SVA Gramercy Gallery, on the ground floor.[citation needed]
380 Second Avenue[edit]
The college operates from several floors of the building located at 380 Second Avenue: the second, where the SVA Library and some classrooms are located; the fifth, where undergraduate animation studios and the MFA Design Department are located; the seventh, where the illustration classrooms and studios are located; and the eighth, where Humanities and Sciences administrative offices and classrooms are located.[citation needed]
SVA Library[edit]
In addition to its collection of books, periodicals, audio recordings, films and other media,[24] the SVA Library houses the Milton Glaser Design Study Center and Archives, which comprises the collections of Chermayeff & Geismar, Seymour Chwast, Heinz Edelmann, Milton Glaser, Steven Heller, Ed McCabe, James McMullan, Tony Palladino, George Tscherny and Henry Wolf; and the SVA Archives, a repository for materials pertaining to the college's history. Both archives are available to the public via appointment.[25][26]

SVA Theatre[edit]
The SVA Theatre is located at 333 West 23rd Street, between Eighth Avenue and Ninth Avenue, in Chelsea. It was formerly the Clearview Chelsea West Cinema. The facility was purchased in 2008, renovated and reopened in January 2009. Designer and SVA Acting Chairman Milton Glaser produced designs for the theater's interior and exterior, including the sculpture situated atop its marquee. The 20,000-square-foot (1,900 m2) facility houses two separate auditoriums, one with 265 seats and one with 480, and hosts class meetings, lectures, screenings and other public events. The SVA Theatre has also hosted the red-carpet New York première of Ethan Hawke's The Daybreakers and a diverse list of world premières connected to SVA's educational mission and student interests, ranging from Lucy Liu's 2010 feature documentary Redlight, to the 2011 FOX animated comedy Allen Gregory; and the 2012 film The Hunger Games. Community partners that have used the theater include the Tribeca and GenArt film festivals, Mayor Michael Bloomberg's PlaNYC environmental initiative, and the Mayor's Office of Film, Theatre and Broadcasting.[27] The theater is also home to the Dusty Film & Animation Festival, held annually since 1990, which showcases the work of emerging filmmakers and animators from the college's BFA Film and Video and BFA Animation programs.[28]
SVA has three gallery spaces: SVA Chelsea Gallery, at 601 West 26th Street, 15th floor; SVA Flatiron Gallery, at 133/141 West 21st Street; and SVA Gramercy Gallery, at 209 East 23rd Street. The galleries show a mix of student and professional art; exhibitions are free and open to the public.[29]

This article is about imagery in literary texts. For imagery in cognitive psychology, see mental image. For various senses of the word imaging, see Imaging, a disambiguation page.

Imagery, in a literary text, is an author's use of vivid and descriptive language to add depth to his or her work. It appeals to human senses to deepen the reader's understanding of the work. Powerful forms of imagery engage all of the senses and use metaphors to express ideas and concepts.
Forms of imagery[edit]
There are seven types of imagery, each corresponding to a sense, feeling, or action:
- Visual imagery pertains sights, and allows the reader to visualize objects, events, actions, or places.
- Auditory imagery pertains sounds. (This kind of imagery may come in the form of onomatopoeia).
- Olfactory imagery pertains to odors.
- Gustatory imagery pertains to flavors.
- Tactile imagery pertains to textures.
- Kinesthetic imagery pertains to movements.
- Organic imagery or subjective imagery, pertains to personal experiences of a character's body, including hunger, thirst, and fatigue.[1]

When a tragedy like this happens, you have to wonder if it could have been prevented. While hindsight is always 20/20, some of his neighbors think otherwise.
"If he kept on, that something was going to happen. You don't play with guns," warned Eva Keith, neighbor of Neil Newcomb.
Neighbors tell us Neil has had several run-ins with local residents, one of those involving the discharge of firearms on his property.
"He's been bad to be shooting his guns, walking around through the woods there. Just shooting. And we have reported him several times," said Eva.
Keep in mind, while it is legal to discharge firearms on private property in the county, it is illegal for a registered sex offender to own a gun. She says she reported the activity, but nothing was done.
"They couldn't do anything. As long as he was on his property shooting, they couldn't do anything. Sounds strange to me," explained Eva.
Another neighbor we spoke to said they believed Neil also owned a 9mm handgun. This wasn't the only run-in involving Neil and a firearm.
"He shot our dog, he killed our dog. So my husband had words with him. Even went and made papers out of him. Just deliberately shot him," said Eva.
We are also told Neil displayed odd behavior while working on his property, including dressing as a woman with a blonde wig. Neighbors described the household as dysfunctional.
When talking about another household that neighbored Neil's home, Eva had this to say. "They have had a lot of trouble with him. Been to court with him I know one time."
Neil Newcomb was a regular attendee of a church in Laurel, including on the Sunday morning of the incident. We are told that Neil displayed no unusual behavior during that service.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - All hunters could take part in a special crossbow season each fall, under a bill passed by the Wisconsin Senate Tuesday.
It would run at the same time as the traditional bow and arrow season from mid-September through November or early December.
Monona Democrat Mark Miller, who's a bow hunter, cast the only no vote. He said crossbows have the potential to taint the archery season, and he wanted part of the season to be for traditional bow and arrow hunting only.
Miller said crossbows are more like shotguns, in which triggers are used to release the arrows.
Right now, they're only allowed for disabled hunters and those over 65. The new bill would allow all eligible hunters to use crossbows to shoot deer and smaller animals.
Supporters say it would create more hunting opportunities, and encourage more people to go out hunting.
The bill was approved by the Assembly in June. It's going back there to ratify some amendments.
Also, the Senate voted to ban local governments from restricting bow and arrow hunting, except within 1,700 feet of a hospital or school, and within 100 yards of government buildings.

Perrigo is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, and on Friday it moved from the Nasdaq to the NYSE. Although the company experienced 18% year-over-year growth, it still managed to miss estimates on four of its last six earnings reports.
Papa is hoping to change this, and one way is by repackaging of the company's baby formula. Papa argues that Perrigo's formula is the same quality as national brands, but at about half the price.
With baby formula costing so much these days, Perrigo is hoping that a lower cost will help drive sales.Perrigo also hopes its recent acquisition of a pet company will play a role in higher sales. Its flea and tick products should sell well given a recent increase in the tick population. Papa joked, "it was a slow season initially, but recently ticked up." Perrigo also hopes to see higher sales from its pollen and allergy products, with pollen remaining at higher-than-usual levels for this time of the year. Although the allergy season did get off to a sluggish start, it continues to remain "elongated," according to Papa. Perrigo uses the same ingredients as the national brand, but offers its product for a 25% to 30% discount to the national brand, he added. -- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich.

This year, there are a lot of new BBCOR baseball bats on the market that are causing a lot of hype. We have provided a list of the best quality BBCOR certified bats for 2014. We strive to keep our website as updated as possible, so as company's introduce their new 2014 BBCOR bats, we will update our list accordingly after we demo their latest and greatest top-notch BBCOR bats. Here is our list of the best BBCOR bats currently out right now.
Category Archives: BBCOR Bat Reviews
1) RIP-IT's 2014 BBCOR AIR Elite -3 Baseball Bat
Price: $399.99
Buy Now: www.ripit.com
Out of all the BBCOR certified baseball bats available, RIP-IT's BBCOR AIR Elite is the one to beat in 2014. The performance of this BBCOR cannot be touched. This two-piece BBCOR bat had a late release. It was finally released months after their 2014 bat lineup was launched. There is no question that this bat almost didn't pass testing because it was too hot. It has an immense amount of pop. RIP-IT claims that the performance and pop of the bat are owed to their use of Air Technology and a rifle barrel. Whatever the cause might be—it's awesome.
Our favorite thing about this BBCOR bat is the pop. Out of all the other BBCOR certified baseball bats we demoed, this one had incomparable pop. The barrel of the BBCOR AIR Eliteis very forgiving, allowing you to have great pop and great contact, even when the ball is hit outside of a typical bat's sweet spot. If you want a best BBCOR bat with a wide hitting range, a barrel with all-over performance and fast swing speed—this is it.
At $399.99, this BBCOR bat is worth every penny. There's no risk to this reward. RIP-IT offers the best return and warranty policy out of any other company on our list. Unlike the other brands on our list that offer a one-year (365 day) warranty; RIP-IT offers a full 400-day warranty and has a 30-day full refund return policy. They are also the only ones on our list to offer a warranty with unlimited repairs and replacements.
Another feature that sets the BBCOR AIR Elite apart from all others is the grip. RIP-IT's contact grip gets the job done preventing sting while still being comfortable. We also can't deny that it is the fastest BBCOR certified bat we have ever tried.
The lack of vibration can also be owed to the fact that it is a two-piece bat. The BBCOR AIR Elite has a composite handle and an alloy barrel so players can get lots of pop while still avoiding sting.
Covering all our bases of durability, power, control, balance, speed and pop; we just had to put this bat at number one. Needless to say, we are interested to see how RIP-IT is going to top this one next year.
Check out the 2014 BBCOR AIR in action:
2) DeMarini's 2014 BBCOR Voodoo Paradox -3 Baseball Bat
Price: $299.95
Buy Now: www.demarini.com
DeMarini's BBCOR comes in at number two with stunning control. The Voodoo Paradox gives players complete control over their swing and can absolutely crush anything that comes its way. The swing is considerably lightweight and gives you a good amount of power. Our only complaint about the bat is that it is a little top-heavy, which is why it would probably be best for a power hitter as opposed to a contact hitter.
Because the bat is top-heavy it may be a littler more difficult for contact hitters to swing and you may also have more trouble with swing speed if you are a smaller player. But nonetheless, the Voodoo Paradox is one of the best BBCOR bats on the market with an insane amount of power.
Our favorite thing about this BBCOR bat is the end cap. DeMarini's end cap design is seemingly damage-proof, giving you one less thing to worry out. We can tell that DeMarini set out to make durability a major factor in this BBCOR certified bat, and it shows.
With a stunning amount of speed, power, durability and control, there is no doubt that this bat deserves some hype at our number two spot.

3) Easton's 2014 MAKO BBCOR -3 Adult Baseball Bat
Price: $449.95
Buy Now: www.easton.com
The Easton MAKO series has hit stores and is causing a stir. The new look of this 2014 BBCOR is undeniably slick. The new MAKO not only looks stellar, but it carries a great amount of power too, as promised. The biggest improvement that Easton has made with this new BBCOR bat, however, is the sweet spot. The sweet spot on the Easton MAKO is huge and has worked wonders for the power of the bat. We were expecting the MAKO BBCOR to be powerful, and it does not disappoint. The barrel delivers pop and power that will impress even the pickiest batters.
Our problem with the bat is that just like past Easton bats, there is too much vibration. Even with the patented ConneXion Technology and the Diamond Grip, vibrations sneak into the handle and can be bothersome to players. We were expecting little to no sting with this brand new Easton MAKO series, but it seems the concern in creating this bat was solely power.
Although this bat does deliver some pretty impressive power and features an ample sweet spot, it still has a little room for improvements. At such a high price-point, the Easton MAKO doesn't score very many kudos with us as far as value goes. To make it to our number one spot Easton should provide a bat with less sting and at a lower price point so players from all socioeconomic classes can be on an even playing field.

4) Marucci's 2014 Elite BBCOR: MCBE14 – 3 Adult Baseball Bat
Price: Now $399.99
Buy Now: www.maruccisports.com
What a smooth swing. This top-notch BBCOR bat is well weighted, making it easy to swing. Speed is also a major factor in this bat. With the weight being dispersed in all the right places, the bat is remarkably fast.
The 2014 Marucci Elite is also made of multiple materials. This BBCOR baseball bat is fused with both aluminum and carbon, which created a durable lightweight bat. The material may also be a large contributor to this BBCOR bat's power. With the right contact, this bat can do major damage.
However, the sweet spot is less than impressive. Although the 2014 Marucci Elite BBCOR delivers undeniable power and speed, you have to hit it on just the right spot to get the maximum performance out of this BBCOR bat. With such great power, it shouldn't be this difficult to get a hold of. The minimal sweet spot is a huge let down. Even though the barrel looks as though it has a large sweet spot, it turns out to be pretty deceiving. Performance is not a given factor all over the barrel.
But, we have to give kudos to Marucci for their grip. The Kevlar-Reinforced Grip feels great, keeps your hands loose and eliminates sting—even in cold weather. With such great balance and a fast swing, this Marucci BBCOR bat doesn't fall short at our number four spot.
The only thing to take into consideration is the price point. Spending around 400 dollars is quite a tall order–and we aren't so certain the MCBE14 Elite is worth it. But, we are looking forward to seeing what Marucci delivers for their 2015 BBCOR bat line up.
Watch the 2014 Marucci Elite BBCOR in action:
5) Combat's 2013 B4 Portent -3 BBCOR Baseball Bat
Price: Now $379.99
Buy Now: www.combatsportsgroup.com
At our number five, Combat's 2013 B4 Portent has an astonishingly light swing. If you want a BBCOR bat with lots of power and a light swing then this is a great bat for you. Although the Combat BBCOR bat is very light, it still has incredible control and balance. It makes for an awesome swing for any batter; power hitter or not.
Combat claims that due to their use of Separation Barrier Technology, this BBCOR will have "hot" performance straight out of the wrapper. Well, we agree! Right out of the wrapper when breaking in the bat, it has tremendous pop and power. It is ready to use at the plate almost immediately.
However, the only negative is this BBCOR bat seems to lose its sensational "pop" overtime. Although it has outstanding balance, power and pop—if you want a long-term bat that is going to last you more than a season, you may want to choose another from our best BBCOR bat list!
This one-piece composite bat has tremendous feel. From the grip to the overall balance, your swing should be light and fast. With power and pop, this bat delivers great immediate performance at our number five spot. But, beware of the pop fading out overtime.
We could not find a bat review on the B4 Portent but here is a video by JustBats explaining the features:
6) Louisville Slugger 2014 Assault BBCOR -3 Adult Baseball Bat
Price: $199.99
Buy now: www.slugger.com
Louisville Slugger has come out with an affordable bat with awesome performance. The 2014 Louisville Slugger Assault is a BBCOR loaded with pop and even more impressive swing. The Assault BBCOR, like other Louisville bats, includes the Flex Band Barrel Technology. This technology allows for a lower swing weight–and it actually works! The bat feels light and gives players the ultimate swing with lots of speed.
This one-piece alloy design also gives players lots of pop. The ball jumps right off the barrel with plenty of momentum. This BBCOR bat however, will be best suited for power hitters. Contact hitters may want to look elsewhere for a bat with a more balanced swing. The end cap is also something to consider when purchasing the 2014 Louisville Assault. It is more than likely with the Assault that the end cap will come off, especially when making contact towards the end of the barrel on outside pitches.
For the most part, the Louisville Slugger Assault is a solid BBCOR bat with a good amount of power and a great amount of pop. Our complaints come from the durability of the bat when it comes to the end cap and the inability to protect players from sting. The synthetic grip could also be a bit more comfortable to hold on to. It doesn't conform to players' grips as well as it should.
We could not find a video review of the 2014 Louisville Slugger Assault. However, here is an informative video by JustBats.com:
7) Rawlings 2014 5150 VELO BBCOR -3 Adult Baseball Bat
Price: Now $299.99
Buy Now: www.rawlings.com
Sturdiness is a given with this BBCOR. Rawlings' one-piece Alloy. The design makes this 2014 BBCOR a fantastic long-lasting and durable bat. If you want one for the long run, this is BBCOR bat is definitely one to consider. The composition of this bat may also be another reason why its vibration control is so good. You will feel little to no sting at all with this alloy BBCOR. With the Rawlings 2014 VELO BBCOR and their superior grip, you can say goodbye to batting gloves and sting–even if you hit the ball outside the sweet spot in cold weather.
The one major component that the 5150 VELO BBCOR is lacking however, is pop. When hit right, the bat can drive the ball down the field. But the sweet spot isn't that large and the pop isn't impressive. Compared to other BBCOR bats on the market, this BBCOR can't quite hang when it comes to delivering pop.
In addition, the swing speed just doesn't cut it. The not-so-fast swing speed might have to do with how the 5150 VELO BBCOR is balanced, or shall we say–unbalanced. It doesn't feel that balanced at all when compared hand-in-hand with other BBCOR bats, even though they are the same size. A bat's overall feel has a lot to do with how it is weighted. A well-balanced a bat should feel lighter than it actually is. For this reason, we just couldn't rank this durable choice higher on our list.
But, with admirable sturdiness and durability, this bat is a solid lasting option rounding off our list at number seven.
Watch the Rawlings 5150 VELO in action:

California Gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown speaks to the staff of Google at Google headquarters on April 9, 2010 in Mountain View, California. Brown formerly held the office of Governor of California from 1975 to 1983, succeeding Ronald Reagan.
I had hoped that one advantage of Arnold Schwarzenegger departing from office is that we would see the end of any stupid, irresponsible and false Nazi-related insults in California political life.
In case you forgot, the governor, given the part of the world he comes from and the fact that his father fought for the Nazis in World War II, has been the target of many of thoughtless such insults over the years, all of them -- it should go without saying -- unfair.
But I guess that was too much to hope. Not 48 hours into the general election came a report that Democratic nominee Jerry Brown had compared his opponent Meg Whitman to the Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. And Whitman's campaign had responded back in outrage. And Democrats were hitting back by arguing that eBay, when Whitman was CEO, permitted the sale of Nazi-related items.
Enough. Brown needs to apologize, start acting his age (you can't talk about self-discipline and then say crazy things), and focus all conversation on the future of California. And Whitman's campaign should also focus on the future and dial back its rapid-response outrage.
While Whitman proves the maxim that you can never bee too rich, you can do too much outrage. The boy who cried wolf -- and all that.
