Play Ball
Prepare your youngster to get in the game with the right training and equipment.
Almost every kid wants to answer the call to play ball, and moms and dads can do much to help them develop the skills that make baseball an enjoyable and healthy activity. From providing the right equipment to providing a bit of training in the backyard, that first encounter with the game will go a long way toward determining whether baseball proves fun or frustrating.
Training aids can give youngsters a great start on the way to skill development. Dunham's stocks a wide range of SKLZ training tools that can make practice more productive and more fun. For example, the Hit-A-Way swing trainer attaches to any pole or tree and simulates real pitches. Your young slugger can get up to 500 swings per hour without ever having to chase a ball. The 5-Position Brush Tee is another great training aid. Rather than just a simple tee, it allows the ball to be positioned high, low, inside, outside or down the middle, and the brush top promotes a realistic ball flight when your little slugger makes contact. SKLZ Softhands is a practice mitt without a pocket that teaches young infielders to get in front of the ball and use two hands. It also reinforces correct transfer of the ball to the throwing hand.
A variety of other training aids are available as well. Ask your Dunham's sales consultant to help you find the equipment that's right for you and your aspiring ballplayer.
Of course, on-field equipment is important as well, and having a properly fitting glove and a correctly sized bat can help your ballplayer achieve the kind of success that breeds confidence. Dunham's carries baseball gloves for players at all levels. Among those recommended for the littlest guys and gals are the Rawlings 10″ or 10.5″ Tee Ball Gloves. These are durable gloves that can help a player get off to a good start. As skills mature, your youngster can move up to the lightweight Wilson A 500 glove or the affordable Wilson A 450. Both are available in 10-inch size and larger. Also, check out Dunham's assortment of youth baseball and fast pitch softball gloves for girls.
At the plate, little sluggers need a bat designed for beginners. Dunham's stocks a number of choices from the top suppliers, including Easton and DeMarini. Ryan J. Weller, Easton's strategic account manager, says, "We offer two bats for Tee Ball: the XL and the Mako. The XL has a -10 length to weight ratio, while the Mako is -13. Because the Mako is lighter it can be swung faster, which often improves control. Both bats are one-piece aluminum." For the bigger and stronger Youth Player, Dunham's also carries a wide assortment of Youth Baseball Bats from Easton, DeMarini and Rawlings.
As young ballplayers graduate to little league and higher, Dunham's can supply equipment that will keep pace, and our knowledgeable sales consultants can make sure that it's a perfect fit.

The New Old-Fashioned Way
Pete Browning got the first finely crafted Hillerich & Bradsby hardwood bat in 1884, and ever since, many super stars of major league baseball have made that manufacturer's Louisville Slugger their weapon of choice.
H & B Louisville Sluggers are still carefully made from fine hardwood, but the process has evolved over the years. It frequently begins in H & B's own timberland in Pennsylvania and New York. There, northern white ash and maple trees that have reached the age of 60 or more are harvested. The finest logs are then selected at the mill. After hand sawing into square billets, the wood is vacuum dried.
A proprietary machine, built for the sole purpose of making Louisville Sluggers, compresses the grain of the barrel to achieve optimum hardness. Next, filler is applied to close the grain. The filler is topped with several layers of a topcoat seal. The resulting finish is said to be the hardest of any wood bat on the market.
Over the years a variety of hardwoods have been used to make Louisville Sluggers. At one time, hickory was very popular, but it's too heavy for today's players who emphasize bat speed. Ash was the most popular wood through most of the modern era, but in recent years, maple has achieved equal status, as many players experienced success with maple bats in the 1990s.
Babe Ruth swung a mammoth hunk of H & B timber. It was 36 inches long and weighed a whopping 42 ounces. Mickey Mantle's Louisville Slugger was considerably lighter at 32 ounces. While Major League Baseball rules allow bats up to 42 inches in length, no one has ever used an H & B bat of that size. The longest was a 38-inch stick used by Al Simmons in the 1940s.
"Wee" Willie Keeler, a right fielder of the 1890s, stepped to the plate with a Louisville Slugger that measured 30½ inches. That's the length prescribed today for a 120-pound little leaguer who stands just over 4-feet tall. Willy, who had a .341 career batting average, wasn't a lot bigger at 5 foot, 4 inches and 140 pounds. He is said to have been the first to say, "Hit 'em where they ain't."
Both that strategy and the Louisville slugger Wee Willie swung remain key parts of the game.

The Right Tools
Gloves and bats that don't fit the player's game are an obstacle to skill development
Baseball was king on the southside of Chicago in the 1950s. I grew up a few miles from Comiskey Park, and as a six-year-old I was dying to get in the game.
My dad was born and raised in Sweden, so baseball was foreign to him, but he knew I pined to play ball, so he bought me a glove. It was an Andy Pafko model, and it was flat as a pancake with no discernable pocket. To catch the ball I would try to sandwich it between glove and free hand. I played with that glove for a couple of years, developed all kinds of bad habits and dropped many balls. In later years I bought a good glove, but that early experience had left its mark, and I lacked confidence in the field.
Starting with the Right Equipment
There are many factors that affect the development of young players, but few are as important as having the right equipment. Baseball skills are complex, and learning is difficult. But handicapping a player with a bat that's too heavy or a glove that doesn't fit will lead to failure and frustration.
Fits Like a Glove
Wilson has developed a chart that prescribes baseball glove size and type for players of every age and position (see facing page). Consult it before choosing a glove or ask your Dunham's sales representative to help you choose. By the way, the gloves Wilson designs for pros are identical to those Dunham's sells. Everyone gets the best equipment.
Asked how a glove should be selected, Ali Brewer, of Wilson baseball said, "The first question we ask is what position you play." A 12-year old middle infielder generally needs a glove that's 11 to 11¾ inches in length with a shallow pocket. With a shallow pocket, a shortstop or second baseman can get the ball out quickly and make their throw. Younger players require smaller gloves. A six-year-old infielder should have a glove that's 10 to 10½ inches long. In every case, the glove should be easy for the player to maneuver and must fit the hand. Apply common sense here.
In a video on Wilson's web site, San Francisco Giants second baseman Freddy Sanchez says, "You want a pocket but not too deep a pocket. At second base, I have to be quick getting the ball out."
Outfielders require a longer glove: 11¾ to 12½ inches for older youths, and 10¾ to 11½ inches for eight- to ten-year-old players. Josh Hamilton, the Angels all-star outfielder, says, "As an outfielder you want as big a glove as you can possibly have."
Extra length can give an outfielder the reach needed to grab over-the-wall flies and bad-bounce line drives. The double welting of Wilson gloves prevents the fingers from bending back when the ball slams home and makes cone catches possible.
The requirements for other positions vary, but your Dunham's sales representative can help you choose the best glove for any player and position.
Swing the Right Stick
Swinging a baseball bat that's the right size and weight is critical to success at the plate. Hitting a baseball isn't easy, and the best players track the pitch until it's close to the plate, and then swing rapidly and accurately. A player bogged down with too heavy a bat can't generate the speed necessary to hit a fastball. And a player swinging too light a bat will not hit with power.
An efficient swing is extremely important now that bats must meet standards for the amount of energy transferred to the ball. Today's aluminum and composite bats don't generate the trampoline effect of yesteryear. A properly sized bat and correct swing are critical.
Dunham's carries a wide range of bats, including DeMarini, Easton, and Hillerich & Bradsby models. Among the H & B offerings is the classic wood Louisville Slugger. All are great products, and your Dunham's sales representative can help you choose one that's best for you or your youngster.
A Range of Choices
All bats must meet strict performance guidelines. For little league, non-wood bats have to meet a bat performance factor of 1.15 or less. For intermediate leagues, NCAA and senior league play, non-wood bats must conform to BBCOR standards. In addition, there are barrel diameter and length restrictions for each category. Your Dunham's sales representative can help you choose a bat that will meet all requirements.
The performance standards were instituted to make the game safer, but they also ensure that aluminum and composite bats perform more like wood bats. So while non-wood bats once outperformed classic bats by a wide margin, that's no longer the case.
But technology still plays a role in bat construction, and if player preference is a guideline, certain bats rise to the top of the charts. Among top choices in the NCAA college baseball ranks are the DeMarini Vexxum, which combines a composite handle with an alloy metal barrel; the Louisville Slugger TPX Attack, featuring composite construction; and the alloy-metal Easton XL3.
All are premium choices, but every manufacturer also produces more affordable bats suitable for even the youngest T-ball slugger. All are available at Dunham's.
Size Matters
In addition to the product dimension and performance requirements specified by various baseball organizations, there are common-sense guidelines that suggest how much bat a player can handle. Bat manufacturers have developed a chart that makes recommendations for length based on size and weight (see chart on page 21). For example, a 95-pound little leaguer standing 4½-feet tall would probably do well with a 30-inch bat. But handle diameter, barrel shape and weight are important too, and taking a few practice swings with a bat is a good way to determine its suitability. If your ballplayer struggles to get the bat around, it's too heavy.
In brief, it's all about matching the equipment to the player. The best bat or glove doesn't get in the way but rather complements the player's style, strength and ability level. While only raw talent can make an all-star, having the right equipment can help every player perform at his or her maximum.

Giving the Gift of Game
Baseball training can help youngsters enjoy the game in good health.
It's never too early to start training a ballplayer. We've all read stories about dads and moms putting a ball in the crib, and while that may be taking things to an extreme, teaching a sport as difficult as baseball can't begin to soon. When baseball is part of growing up, youngsters develop skill sets much faster.
There was a time when baseball training was just a dad thing. Now that wasn't all bad, because it got kids and dads outside together. But if dad didn't know diddlysquat about baseball, junior might never get to first base.
Training Aids for Youngsters
In recent years, enterprising sports-equipment manufacturers, including SKLZ performance training products, have stepped in to fill the void with products that range from fitness training products to tees and to advanced training aids including swing trainers pitching machines. SKLZ also develops free instructional videos to demonstrate drills and proper use of their products that are all available for free on their website.
"We leave the bat, glove and ball work to the other guys," said SKLZ spokeswoman Heidi Lont. "By focusing on training equipment and materials, we can devote all our efforts to developing techniques and products that will make any youngster a better player."
Honing Those Baseball Skills
The SKLZ training aids you'll find at Dunham's can help every youngster develop baseball skills. They're engineered to help players learn correct
techniques, right from day one.
Does your youngster have trouble hitting that low and inside pitch? The 5-Position Tee can provide practice in hitting pitches that paint the corners of that plate. With the base placed on home plate, balls mounted on the five tees locations can be positioned inside, outside, early, late and at varying heights. To hit an inside pitch, for example, players can be taught to pull their hands in and get more bat on the ball.
The Quickster® 5' x 5' net is great for hitting and throwing practice. Many teams use one for soft-toss workouts before every game.
A coach tosses a ball into the strike zone from the side and the player hits it into the net. It's a proven practice and skill-building method.
The Reaction Ball™ is a sure fix for sloppy fielding. With six spheres jutting out in different directions, you never know which way it will go. Thrown or rolled to a player, it will bounce this way and that. Concentration is required to make the catch.
The Softhands™ fielding practice mitt can cure any infielder of sloppy, one-handed glove work. With no pocket or trap, the padded mitt forces the player to use two hands to catch the ball while improving concentration and control.
Many leagues require face protection for young players. The Face Shield provides ample coverage of the face, yet it's light and doesn't restrict vision. Parents may want to make it a mandatory for any practice session. The extra protection is priceless.
Training Assistance
Today, a great deal of skill-building help is offered by commercial training facilities. But before signing up for a program, it's up to parents to make sure that the teachers know how to work with kids. John Stemmerman, general manager of Athletes' Performance, says, "It's key to observe a class that the instructor is teaching to see how he or she interacts with the kids. Beware of a 'boot-camp' mentality."
It all goes back to one very basic truth: Baseball is a wonderful game that's meant to be enjoyed. If the kids aren't having fun, something is wrong.

HOT BATS: They're Going Going Gone
The pitcher winds up and fires toward the plate. The batter swings from the heels and makes contact. Thinking home run, he trots toward first, only to break into a sprint as he sees the ball fall short of the fence.
It's a scene that will be repeated on many high-school baseball fields this spring, as most leagues begin their first season of play using bats engineered to perform more like the wood bats of old. This change is due to the implementation of a new test – the Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) – that a bat must pass, before it's approved for play by the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS). The new requirement has been in effect in NCAA play since January 2011.
While bats were subject to regulation prior to this year, the old BESR test measured the speed of the ball coming off the bat, a number that varied as bats were broken in. The new BBCOR specification measures the bounciness of "pop" of the bat and is a better indication of performance.
The result is a bat that generates 10 to 15 percent less ball velocity than previously allowed composite and aluminum bats. The 2011 NCAA season bore this out, as production fell. According to Daniel A. Russell of The Pennsylvania State University, batting averages, home runs and earned-run averages for the 2011 NCAA season dropped to pre-aluminum-bat levels – the lowest in over 30 years.
Many students of the game count diminished bat performance as a plus, since BBCOR-spec bats perform much like major-league wood bats, thereby enabling comparison. What's more, according to the NFHS, the BBCOR requirement is expected to minimize risk, improve play and increase teaching opportunities.
Ballplayers like to see the ball soar at the crack of their bat, so the new BBCOR requirement isn't getting a lot of love at the student-athlete level, but some have displayed a positive attitude. Responding to an article on baseballbatreviewsblog.com, one athlete said, "The BBCOR bats have no pop, so I'll stop complaining and square the ball up to get the pop, basically get better at hitting."
In most leagues, players will have the option of using BBCOR-approved non-wood bats or wood bats. Dunham's offers both. Among the most popular BBCOR bats are the Easton Power Brigade performance bats. Because power is a function of mass and speed, these bats are engineered to optimize both sides of the equation. The Speed Series bats provide a little help for players who need more at speed. For power hitters who can swing with the best of them, Easton offers the XL Series with extra large barrels. Because most of the mass is in the barrel, the bats offer a very large hitting surface.
Dunham's sales consultants can help ballplayers, large and small, choose the best bat for their game.

It Must Be The Shoes
Beginning baseball player or all-star, without the traction advantage of cleats, it's no go.
The runner on first base steps toward second, then stops and studies the pitcher, looking for a clue that might reveal whether his next move will be a throw to first or a pitch to the plate. The pitcher goes into his stretch, looks over his shoulder and returns the stare, gauging the base runner's lead and calculating whether he's likely to break for second on the pitch. The runner takes one step back toward first. Confident that he has the runner leaning toward first, the pitcher delivers to the plate. But by the time he releases the ball, the runner has shifted his weight, and he digs in with his cleat, pushing off toward second with all the power his leg can generate.
Without baseball cleats, that runner would be spinning his wheels, slipping and sliding in the dirt, but the grip of the shoe allows him to apply as much force as he can muster. While cleats are essential equipment for the base runner, they're also necessary for defensive players, who must react quickly to a batted ball and move into position. Similarly, that pitcher has to have firm footing on the pitching rubber and mound in order to deliver the ball with maximum velocity and accuracy.
A Historical Footnote
Baseball cleats are an important part of a player's equipment, and they have been since a ballplayer named Paul Butler first attached spikes to his leather shoes more than 150 years ago. Today, players can choose from a wide range of baseball cleats, including types designed for different conditions and playing surfaces. And while cleats may resemble street shoes, there's a lot of science involved in their construction. Wedges are frequently used within the shoe to provide cushioning in some areas without adding excessive weight. The wedges can also serve to keep the front of the foot low to the ground, an advantage when running. Soft pads are located within the shoe to minimize pressure, and cushioning is used in midsole areas to reduce the discomfort that results from hours of standing and running. Tongue flaps keep the tongue in place while keeping dirt out, and zippered shrouds lock laces in place.
The cleats on the underside of the shoe are usually made of metal, solid rubber or molded thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Metal cleats are durable and can dig into hard dirt. Non-metal cleats reduce the risk of injury to opposing players and can make for a more comfortable shoe. But since rubber and TPU cleats don't provide as much grip, more metal cleats are used. Maximum height for all types is ½-inch. Generally, players who have reached high-school level or above use metal cleats when conditions warrant, while more junior ballplayers use a non-metal type. Some shoes are made with removable cleats, so both metal and non-metal cleats can be used interchangeably and worn cleats can be replaced.
The position of the cleats can affect the way the shoes — and the athlete — perform. Nike, for example, has moved the toe cleat under the big toe to improve traction, while the secondary cleats in the forefoot area are engineered to improve lateral movement.
Sizing Up the Shoe
It's not all about traction and cleat design, the support the shoe provides and its durability are also important. Baseball cleats are available in both low-top and ¾-height shoe configurations. The low-tops offers great flexibility and are favored by speedy baserunners, while he ¾-height shoes provide more ankle support and are less likely to fall off. In terms of materials, synthetic outers can reduce weight, while leather is tough and durable. Many shoes are made from a combination of materials. Under Armour, a major supplier of baseball cleats, uses a combination of leather and a synthetic material called nubuck in many of their shoes. Nike baseball cleats use a rubber compound called Diamond Guard in the toe area to enhance durability.
Special Applications
Most manufacturers offer shoes designed specifically for softball and for children. Because softball involves motions that differ from those of baseball, particularly for pitchers, shoes are engineered specifically for that game. Kids, on the other hand, grow fast, and some baseball cleats are designed to accommodate growth with removable spacers in the heel area.
Dunham's carries a wide range of baseball cleats for boys, girls and adults. Among the most popular are the Nike Keystone and Under Armour's Leadoff IV. A Dunham's sales consultant can help you choose the cleats that are best for you or your aspiring athlete.

Holy Composite Material, BAT-MAN!
There was a simpler time when all baseball bats were made of wood. Then came aluminum and a variety of alloys. In recent years, composite bats made from fiber and resin have shown up in the batter's box. Today, the material and method used to manufacture a bat can significantly affect the velocity at which the ball comes off the bat. At higher levels, uneven bat performance can lead to statistical confusion.
For those reasons, amateur baseball sanctioning bodies test new bat designs and sometimes restrict the type of bat that can be used in competition. As examples, let's take a look at how Little League baseball and high-school baseball sanctioning bodies have dealt with recent changes in bat design.
Little League
It wasn't long after the introduction of composite bats that ballplayers and Little League officials noticed that high-tech composite bats got "hotter" as they were broken in. Repeated contact with the ball softened up the composite material, giving it more of a trampoline effect. The result was harder hit balls — too hard perhaps for the safety of the players in the field. So in 2010, Little League International temporarily banned the use of composite bats in all baseball divisions of Little League.
"The moratorium is not the result of Little League changing its bat standards, nor was it influenced by any relationships with bat manufacturers," said Little League International. "The decision is based solely on the fact that scientific research showed that composite-barreled bats may exceed the performance standard that is printed on the bats, after the bats have been broken in."
In January 2011, the organization announced wavers for some composite bats that had passed the performance test and could now be used in the Little League Majors Baseball Division and lower divisions. These bats have the 2 ¼-inch barrels that are required at those levels.
Dunham's can equip you with a composite bat that has received a waiver and is now legal for Little League play. A Dunham's sales representative can help you find a bat that's right for you.
High School and College
In recent years both high school and college baseball have used bats that complied with the Ball Exit Speed Ratio or BESR standard. Some of the bats meeting that standard didn't perform in quite the same way as the wooden bats used in professional baseball. Baseball pundits and perhaps even major league baseball owners sometimes complained that it was difficult to determine how well a college player would perform in professional baseball, since the collegiate athletes were using a different type of bat.
That may be part of the reason why NCAA college baseball officially adopted a new standard called the Bat-Ball Coefficient of Restitution or BBCOR. That standard went into effect on January 1 of this year. The NCAA is reported to have said that the change was not done for safety reasons, but in order to get a more wood-like performance from the bats.
For 2012, high school baseball leagues will make the switch to BBCOR bats as well. California schools have already changed to the NCAA collegiate standard, but schools in other states can continue to use BESR bats through the end of 2011.
Dunham's carries a range of bats that meet the new BBCOR specification. For help in choosing a bat that meets the requirements of the league in which you play, see your Dunham's sales representative.
I've Got It!
A fielder's facemask can help youngsters play with confidence.
It's a sharply hit ground ball to the second baseman. The well-schooled fielder gets in position, lowers his glove, and focuses on the ball. But as it approaches the ball takes an odd bounce, and the
young ballplayer's attention turns from the task at hand to wondering whether the ball might take another bad bounce and bop him in the nose. Distracted, he lifts his glove, and the ball rolls between his legs and into
right field.
Confidence and concentration are essential to the development of young players. Catching a baseball isn't easy, and youngsters who are afraid of the ball will never develop proper skills. Taking necessary precautions to prevent injury is something that all youngsters should be taught, but fear doesn't diminish the risks involved in any sport. It's a distraction that can actually lead to injury.
The increased use of fielder's face protection by pitchers and infielders in recent years has done much to both prevent injuries and instill confidence. Introduced in the 1990s, masks designed to protect defensive players are now becoming common in amateur baseball. The lightweight masks are engineered in such a way that they don't restrict vision, yet they offer a substantial level of protection from batted balls. That protection helps defensive players focus on the game, so the benefits afforded by the mask are twofold: The players gain confidence, and their faces are protected.
Dunham's stocks a number of fielder face protection masks, including Markwort's Game Face mask, Worth's First Face mask, and the Rip It mask.
Markwort Sporting Goods, said that the Game Face mask is ultra lightweight and offers extremely strong polycarbonate construction. Because it provides complete facial protection, it promotes player confidence. The mask can be fitted to the individual player's face by means of pads. Lisa recommends that to ensure a proper fit, the player visit Dunham's and try on a Game Face.

Right Glove Means Comfort, Control and Confidence
Imagine hitting a sharp liner up the gap, but barely making it to first base because your baseball pants are so large they practically fall off. Or imagine rounding third, heading for home and literally flying out of your cleats because they're two or three sizes too large.
While those scenarios may seem unlikely, chances are your son or daughter may be playing with another piece of extremely important equipment not properly fitted to his or her age, size or level of play.
"One mistake many parents make," says Dave White, National Account Manager for Wilson Sporting Goods, "is choosing a baseball glove that is too large for their son or daughter, with the thought that they'll eventually grow into it. What happens then is that the player often gets discouraged because the glove falls off their hand, or because they have a hard time fielding, catching or controlling the ball."
From Little League all the way through the big league, choosing the right glove is all about fit, feel and functionality. Here are a few guidelines to use when choosing a glove for your little leaguer:
- Baseball gloves are measured from the top of the index finger, over the surface of the pocket and down to the heel of the glove.
- Players under the age of 8 should use a 9-inch glove for infield play and up to an 11-inch glove for outfield play.
- Players from 8 to early teens should use a 9- to 10-inch glove for infield play, a 10- to 11-inch glove if playing multiple positions and up to a 12-inch glove for outfield play.
- A shallow pocket helps infielders trap and grab the ball more easily.
- A deeper pocket helps outfielders catch and hold the ball more securely.
- Leather gloves offer superior comfort, control and durability over gloves made of synthetic materials.
Avoid the mistake of thinking bigger is better and your little leaguer will definitely benefit from the added comfort, control and confidence they get from a smaller, properly fitted glove.

Swing Batta Batta…
Power hitters, contact hitters and everyone in between—today's bat technology is designed to improve the performance of anyone who steps to the plate.
A lot has changed since the first aluminum bats were introduced more than 30 years ago. Bat manufacturers are constantly introducing new performance enhancement technology to give you an edge in the batter's box.
Today's bats feature exotic combinations of aluminum alloy, zinc, copper, magnesium, graphite and titanium. Wilson and Louisville feature perfect examples of this revolutionary technology.
The Wilson "half and half" technology combines a "Flex-Tuned Evolution Composite" handle with an alloy barrel for optimal balance and a generous sweet spot. Louisville uses a different approach with X-1 Composite Technology that layers aerospace grade graphite embedded in epoxy resin.
While the technology is complex, the objective is simple: optimize light weight for durability.
Lighter materials mean hitters can generate more bat speed. Greater bat speed results in harder hit balls that get through the gaps and over the fence.
In making bats lighter and more durable, manufacturers have also enlarged the sweet spot. Hitting behind the runner, going to the opposite field or laying down the perfect bunt becomes a lot easier with a sweet spot that allows for a greater margin of error.
Like most performance-enhancement technology, the right fit is a key to success. Selecting a bat with the correct design, length and weight is critical. This is especially true for younger players who are still growing and developing their skills. The wrong bat could lead to bad habits that develop to compensate for ill-suited equipment.
The barrel and handle of bats are designed for specific purposes. A larger barrel provides a bigger sweet spot but hitters can generate more bat speed with a smaller barrel. A larger handle can take the sting out of hitting the ball but it also increases weight.
The length and weight of a bat are also critical to success. Here's chart that can help you select the right size bat:
Length and Weight: The weight drop is a figure that refers to the difference between the length of the bat (in inches) and the weight of the bat (in ounces). Weight drop is always shown as a minus number. Lighter bats have a higher weight drop which means a -10 would be lighter than a -8.

67:3 One should be very careful not to make any vows, even not to vow to give charity. If one has something that he wishes to donate, he should simply do so. If he doesn't, then he should wait until he does, and then donate it. In no case should he make a vow about it. If pledges to charity are being taken and he wants to pledge, he should specify that he is pledging "bli neder" – that is, without it constituting a vow. Similarly, when pledging charity in memory of deceased relatives (e.g., at Yizkor), one should specify "bli neder," that it is not a vow. A person is permitted, however, to make a vow in a time of trouble.
67:4 If a person wants to establish a time for Torah study or to do a certain mitzvah and he is afraid that he will neglect it, or if a person is afraid that his yetzer hara ("evil inclination") will tempt him into doing something wrong, he is permitted to strengthen his resolve by making a vow or an oath. The Talmud in Nedarim (8a) says, "How do we know that one may make an oath to fulfill a mitzvah in order to strengthen his resolve even though he is already bound by the oath made at Mount Sinai? We learn it from Psalms 119:106, which says, 'I have sworn and I will fulfill to observe your righteous laws.'" Even if one did not state this commitment in the form of an oath or a vow, but he merely made a general statement, it is still considered a vow and it must be fulfilled. Therefore, one must be careful to specify "bli neder" when saying that he will perform a mitzvah. It is advisable to accustom ourselves to saying "bli neder" even when promising to do voluntary things as a precaution against accidentally violating the prohibitions regarding vows.

Sold Out $19.99
2011 vintage
is available for $19.99
Plantagenet Omrah Shiraz 2007
Syrah/Shiraz from Australia
Winemaker's Notes
On the nose, plush blueberry and plum with just a hint of characteristically regional pepper and spice notes with subtle oak characters which impart a sweet, vanilla note. A dense yet supple, harmonious wine palate. Lovely plush tannins, rounded texture with bright plummy, cherry fruit flavors and a clean finish with hallmark spicy lingering flavors.
Critical Acclaim
Australian Wine Companion - "Bright crimson; a fragrant black fruit and spice bouquet, then a lively medium-bodied palate tracking the bouquet, adding fine tannins on the finish."
Plantagenet Winery
The first vines were planted in 1968 at "Bouverie" Denbarker. These consisted of 4 1/2 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz. Plantagenet Wines now has boosted the total acreage to 100, including Malbec, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Plantagenet aims to make elegant, structured wines that have complexity, finesse and balance. View all Plantagenet Wines About Other Australia
View a map of Other Australia wineriesWith a landmass the size of the US, Australia has just as many appellations. Many wines are simply labeled from their state of origin. Some of these are the most popular:
New South Wales
- New South Wales has a variety of smaller wine growing regions. Many wines are a blend of these smaller appellations, leading to the more encompassing designation of New South Wales.
Western Australia
– A small percentage of Australia's winemaking occurs on the West Coast. The largest Australian state, Western Australia, includes the appellations Margaret River and Great Southern.
Southeastern Australia
– This appellation encompasses the states of South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria. Grapes are often trucked in from at least 2 of these states for crushing and bottling, giving the wine a more general appellation of origin. This is the broadest appellation in Australia.About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

You are hereThe Owain Glyndwr Hotel, Corwen
The Owain Glyndwr Hotel, Corwen
Named after Owain Glyndwr the great Welsh hero who had strong connections with Corwen, this is probably one of the oldest hotel buildings in Wales dating back to 1329. The building was originally a monastery attached to the church behind and later a coaching inn.
The haunting possibly dates back to this building's earliest period as it concerns the ghost of a lady who was left broken hearted after an affair with a monk.
I worked as a chef at this Hotel for a few years 1999 - 2002, It is a beautiful building with the local river running under it (flood alert!) and lots of twisty corridores.
One late afternoon I was compiling some paperwork on the table opposite the main bar room door by the side of the arch that goes through to the dining room, when a large wolfhound trotted through the kitchen door & into the restaurant. It turned it's head briefly to look at me as it went past & had a chain around it's neck. My first though was 'who had left a door open, where did that come from' type of thing & I got up to go into the dead-end restaurant to capture the loose dog only to find it not there.
Noises, glimpses out of the corner of your eye & things moving were all part of working at the OG as well as an ace boss (Hi, Ifor!), great customers & good friends. It could be a very spooky place especially when you're trying to find a member of staff in the labyrynth of bedrooms but also a very welcoming, comfortable place to be in. Set directly in front of the local church I once had the fright of my life when looking out of the plate wash window to see a giant illuminated cross hanging in mid air! The church had put up it's christmas decorations!!

This year's features are as varied as two narratives about the Holocaust — Steve Palackdharry's Journey to Justice and Tim and Karen Morse's Secret Courage: The Walter Suskind Story — to documentaries about a champion Alpine skier and an oceanographer — W.C. Rogers's Flying Downhill: Bode Miller and Bill Haney's A Life Among Whales.
Below are three feature films worth seeing, from among the 46 narrative features and 29 feature-length documentaries on display.
Caffeine | 2006, USA, 88 min | Directed by John Cosgrove | Written by Dean Craig | Aug 10, 9:15 pm | Columbus Theatre, Providence First-time feature filmmaker John Cosgrove's background as a documentarian shows: he likes to watch. Caffeine sets some quirky characters loose in a London café amidst fraught circumstances for each, mostly involving sexual relationships or dalliances, and we wince or grin as they cope. The central character is Rachel (Marsha Thomason), who runs the place. Through the mayhem she is waiting for the owner of a posh restaurant to show up and see how she manages, so he will hire her. But she has fired her boyfriend/cook for guiltily confessing his ménage a trois of the night before, so the hungry customers are getting surly and the staff is getting homicidal.
A commitment-phobe is despondent after breaking up with his girlfriend, who is across the room with a blind date from Purgatory. A jealous boyfriend finds out that his fiancée used to be a porn star, but she'd rather study for a class than argue with him or fend off advances from those who have admired her work. The conversation and wisecracks are serviceable, a la the observation that "men can't see beyond their own dicks — which in most cases isn't very far."
Sweet Dreams | 2006, USA | 115 min | Directed by Erik Scott Latek | Aug 13, 12:30 pm | Columbus Theater This film might technically be a documentary, but it tells its story with much of the technique and payoff of a fictional feature. Gary "Tiger" Balleto, 27, runs a North Providence construction company with his brother for most of his days. But what we follow is the time he spends training and fighting, literally, to break out of the ordinary life he won't settle for. The film takes two never-boring hours to get him across to us but saves the Rocky and Raging Bull ring footage until we've gotten to know the guy we're rooting for. An Italian-American who hangs around a lot with a young bookie pal, his boxer grandfather was killed by the Mafia, Balleto says. When his nine-year-old son, jumping on his bed in Superman pjs, says that school is "all bullshit" and that he's going to be either a boxer or a hockey player, Balleto looks pummeled.

Following the club's 2-0 home loss to Swansea yesterday afternoon, Arsene Wenger has told the Arsenal boo-boys he will not quit his job.
The Gunners were booed off after yet another flat performance and poor result, which has left them sitting in 10th place in the Premier League, and some fans seem to have had enough.
Wenger is now in the firing line after only managing to pick up 21 points in 15 league games, thus recording his worst start to a season since taking over the club in 1996.
At the start of the current campaign the Frenchman said he would know when the time was right to step down from his position, but insists that time has not yet come.
And despite the fans growing increasingly restless and protesting against the club's board before yesterday's match, Wenger insists the best way to overcome the problem is to stick together.
When asked if the time was right to step down from his post, Arsene replied:
'Not at all. You make your assessment at the end of the season.
'I know there is a lot of unrest but it's a good opportunity to stick together and show we are a strong club.
'Of course it hurts but I am not so much worried about the placings. I believe its important is to get the quality of our game back. That is much more important.'
So after a poor run of form and enduring his worst start to a campaign since his arrival and possibly finishing outside the top four this season, should Wenger truly consider resigning? If so, when?

Medical News HIV Treatment Adherence Higher in Walgreens Pharmacy UsersNovember 15, 2013 This article was reported by Yahoo! Finance. Yahoo! Finance recently reported that the Walgreen Company released results of two retrospective cohort studies that indicated HIV-infected people who used Walgreens HIV-specialized pharmacies had higher HIV treatment adherence than HIV-infected people who used other Walgreens pharmacies. Study authors released the data during the Cell-Lancet conference "What Will it Take to Achieve an AIDS-Free World?" in San Francisco. Walgreens HIV-specialized pharmacies had more than 2,000 HIV-trained pharmacists, who supplied education, counseling, testing, and treatment at 700 stores. Walgreens' HIV patient support programs aimed to increase treatment adherence, since poor adherence often resulted in treatment failure, resistance to treatment, and increased mortality. A second retrospective data analysis showed that approximately 30 percent of HIV-infected people with severe mental illness had better adherence to HIV medications when using a specialty Walgreens. Only 19 percent of HIV patients with severe mental illness who used other Walgreens responded well to antiretroviral therapy, compared with 32.7 percent of those using HIV-specialized Walgreens. CDC estimated that 207,600 of the 1.4 million HIV-infected U.S. residents remain undiagnosed. The full report, "Two Retrospective Cohort Studies Exploring HIV Medication and Overall Adherence at HIV-Specialised Pharmacies: Implications for HIV Patients with Comorbid Conditions and Serious Mental Illness," was published online by the journal The Lancet (2013; doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(13)62251-5). This article was provided by CDC National Prevention Information Network. It is a part of the publication CDC HIV/Hepatitis/STD/TB Prevention News Update.

Made this as both a side and to use on tacos. It was very simple yet the flavors worked perfectly together. Even my 10 year old said, "Daddy, this coleslaw is awesome!". Part of a very healthy taco dinner!
Damn forks. This is absolutely a 4. Fresh and delicious. Perfect with the spicy chicken and vegetable tacos on this site.
This slaw is excellent! I added a little sugar to cut the bitterness of the cabbage. Will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!
Everyone loved this slaw! I added a little onion. Served it with Peruvian Grilled Chicken.
This was pretty good and worked well with the tacos. I added Mexican chili powder, cumin, and drizzled some honey. I had so many spicy condiments with many of the same spices, so I wanted to add a touch of sweetness in there as well. I also used different colored fresh cabbage. Without these changes, this recipe would have fallen flat.
This was easy to make and so delicious. Made it as a side dish for Christmas dinner and it was a big hit with family. Comments received that it was light and refreshing. There was not enough dressing as the recipe calls for as it was a little dry, so I added another tablespoon and a half of fresh lime juice and oil. As per other cooks' suggestions, I added cumin, chili powder, and a sprinkle of dried basil. I also added a teaspoon or so of white sugar as I thought it was too tart. The coleslaw mix had carrots and purple cabbage to make it colorful. Will definitely make again.
This is a great alternative to the regular slaws out there! I add honey, cider vinegar & cumin to the dressing and serve with fish tacos. Always a hit!
Absolutely refreshing as a condiment! We made the chicken tacos and it was a a great match. I used the leftovers on barbequed chicken sandwiches. It would definitely need a little tweaking to stand on its own as a side dish.
I really liked this a lot but have to admit I made a few modifications. I added green onions, shredded carrots, cumin and chili powder and a pinch of cayenne. With modifications it stands on its own as a side dish but made as is it is a good topping for fish tacos if they're spicy enough.
I like this alot. I used a fresh head of cabbage, not the slaw mix which I think is always dry and flat tasting. I also amended the dressing by adding some honey to temper the lime. Honey lime cilantro is a classic combo that is wonderful in this dish.

Yes, it's "A Year Without Rain" is her 2010 album Right now in 2011 her newest album is called "When The Sun Goes Down I can't wait to hear it!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
A religion that was able to fool over a billion people. Create fools of people who believe they can reach heaven by following ancient traditions set forth by a madman named Mohammad. Islam is a cancer on this world and the only way Muslims can save themselves is to wake up from the daydream that has enslaved their minds.

I guess most of you would have figured it out by now but for those who don't know, here's a way to spice up your iMessages or even add some funny emojis to your notes and reminders and emails.
The iPhone comes with a set of emoji icons that you can access right from your keyboard. And that means you can send those funny, interesting and beautifully-crafted Emoji icons to your friends via iMessage or email or Whatsapp or whatever service you use.
In Android, Whatsapp made use of these new emojis and made them quite popular (well, if these were popular even before that, I am to be forgiven for the lapse).
So, if your friend is bugging you on Whatsapp with these emojis and you're still trying to figure out how to get them on your keypad.
How to Add Emoji Keyboard to iPhone and iPad Running iOS 7.x:
- Go to Settings
- Tap on General
- Scroll down and tap on Keyboard
- Now tap on Keyboards
- Tap on Add New Keyboard
- Scroll down and choose Emoji
- Done!
Now, in order to use the Emoji, you have to do this:
- Tap the globe icon when you see the keypad
- If you've got multiple keypads enabled (for instance, three or four), you have to tap it as many number of times as it would take to get to Emoji keypad
- Once done with Emoji, just tap on the globe icon again to return to the normal keypad
While the whole thing works just like that, you can't tweak stuff here to add more emoticons to the emoji keyboard. Make sure you check the whole thing: you can swipe to scroll through a list of emojis and you can tap on the tabs for different collections of emojis.
You can use the emojis almost everywhere. I mean, wherever there's going to be the keypad and typing, you can switch to the emoji keypad.
You may want to checkout how to type emoji faster on your iOS device!

Izzy Jennings had a wish — to give.
Now she'll see that wish in action during Abby's Wish on Aug. 27, a fundraiser to find a cure for autism.
Izzy, 9, told mom Beth Jennings that she wanted to make a donation to the Ronald McDonald House and Autism Speaks. She chose Ronald McDonald House because her family had stayed there when her younger sister Abby was born.
Abby, 7, has Asperger's syndrome, a high-functioning type of autism.
