Williamson High School only won two state high school baseball championships in the 101 year history of the school. One was back in the late 1940s after World War II in 1948 and the other in 1965.
That 1965 team was said to be one of the best to ever take to the diamond at Lefty Hamilton Park. That was during Williamson's glory years of the mid 1960s.
Cecil Hatfield was the coach of that squad. Hatfield recently sat down with this writer to reminisce about that memorable season.
"That was a special team," Hatfield recalls. "You couldn't ask for a better team or harder working group."
Many of the players on the squad were 3-sport athletes during one of the most successful eras of Wolfpack sports. All three sports, including basketball and football, were very successful in the mid-1960s.
In 1965 the football team went 8-2, the basketball team had a record of 26-1 and was Class AAA state runner-up and the baseball team had a record of 23-1. (The basketball team was the Class AA state champion in 1964.)
Williamson had to defeat arch rival Logan and then a good Wayne team to make it to the state tournament. Then the team endured three rain delays during a week-long period, but went on to defeat Wellsburg, Martinsburg and Parkersburg to win the state championship. At that time there was no classification system for baseball, so the baseball tourney included every school in the state. Williamson won the title game 5-2 against Parkersburg and the tourney was played on their home field.
"Cecil had a vision about a group of guys he thought he could develop into a state championship team. It all started when we were in the 9th grade. He put us on the high school team and developed us by giving us the experience of playing with more experienced players," said Greg Slater, a member of that historic squad. "Jim McQueen, Roy Brassfield, Mike Trujillo and I'm not sure who else, were our mentors and leaders. Coach Hatfield mixed us in with them and developed us as winners. We did not think about losing. We went out to perform and win."
Hatfield recalls that he had both experienced and talented younger players that season. "We started two sophomores in Mike Slater and Mike McBrayer," Hatfield recalls "We had speed to burn and we were solid defensively."
Hatfield praised Ferrell's work behind the plate. He threw out 12 of 13 base stealers in the state tournament.
"They worked hard and many of them started when they were freshmen," Hatfield remembers.
"We were more like brothers than teammates," said Ronnie Ferrell, the catcher on that team. "That's how close we were."
Ferrell caught two of the best pitchers in Wolfpack history which included Bill Craig and Richard O'Neil. Southpaw Curt Fletcher was the other hurler used by the Pack that season.
"Of course, Coach Hatfield, George Ritchie, and Jim Van Zant (The American Legion coach) all played a big role in our success. I think they taught us the fundamentals of the game and we practiced execution at each practice," Greg Slater added.
"Emory Mounts taught us to slide. (Mounts was a former WHS star and also played professional baseball.) We practiced sliding; we practiced catching ground balls and fly balls at each practice."
"We were fundamentally sound because of coach Hatfield," Ferrell added.
The starting lineup was Ferrell behind the plate, Robert Wright at first base, Greg Hurley at second base; Greg Slater at shortstop, Bill Craig played third base when he wasn't pitching. When Craig pitched, McBrayer came in from left field to play third base and Fletcher went into the outfield. Tom McQueen was the center fielder and Mike Slater roamed in right field.
"Of course we practiced hitting. I really think our success was because the coaches believed in us and we realized it. The other reason was we practiced game situations and we all knew what to do before the ball was hit to us. Our defense was strong and that was a major difference between us and other teams," Greg Slater added. "Of course, you can't be successful without good pitching and I believe you need three good pitchers to be successful and we had Bill Craig, Richard O'Neil and Curt Fletcher. We also had speed.
In one sentence - I still believe the success was because of Cecil having the vision for the raw talent he had when we were in the 9th grade."
Some other members of the team included Terry Looney, Rusty Salton, John Raymond Smith, Bobby Corea, Marvin Whittaker, Roger Dudley and Sonny Burmeister.
The Wolfpack lost only one game that spring. It was the second game of a double header with visiting Scott High. The twinbill was the same day as the state band festival which was being held in Williamson. Several of the starters also played in the marching band. Some of them elected to miss the second game to participate with the band.
Both Hatfield and Ferrell recall how the fans came out in droves to watch baseball back in those days. "The old grandstand was full down at the park," Ferrell recalls.
"We were the only team in the state to have some of our games televised," Hatfield said. The Van Meter family had a local TV line and would broadcast some of the home baseball games on the local channel.
The squad had six batters to hit for an average over .350, which was against some of the best competition around. Some of those who had high batting averages were Hurley, Greg Slater, McBrayer, and Ferrell. Craig and Wright were the top RBI producers, but everyone in the lineup contributed, Hatfield stressed.
Craig threw a fastball in the mid 90s and he had a great curve. He was scouted by the Milwaukee Braves and other MLB teams. He went on to pitch in college, but had some arm trouble, which hampered his baseball career.
O'Neil was said to have pinpoint control and also good stuff on the mound.
McBrayer later signed a contract with the Pirates and played several years in the minor leagues. Hatfield said one scout loved Mike Slater and would have signed him, but instead Slater elected to go to WVU on a football scholarship where he excelled for the Mountaineers as a defensive back.
Many members of that squad went on to be successful and productive in their adult lives. No doubt they left a legacy that will live on forever in the storied history of the Wolfpack legends.

Assault on rights
Using government to create a more just and equitable society doesn't wash in a free and democratic society where each individual has equal opportunity to better themselves with equitable paying jobs that come from the private sector not government.
Mr. Obama, it will be liberty-loving Americans who will pay for your second term agenda which has become your "personal agenda" and not the majority of Americans. Destruction of a free society based upon moral attributes of our Judeo-Christian heritage as free thinking people must not be usurped by a minority who expect short-term solutions as long as the money flows freely from every American taxpayer.
This grip of icy cold hands around our collective throats in the form of higher taxes to afford higher healthcare costs is an outright assault on our constitutional rights. Evident that Obama has launched his ''aggressive day campaign to reshape our nation into his ''own image", is unheard of.

Dressing up as a superhero, circa 1950: Tie a red bed sheet around your neck. Pull on those blue bedroom slippers. Youâre Superman.
Dressing up as a superhero, circa 2014: Ditch that bedsheet. Youâre going to need high-end fabric, some decent sewing skills and body paint. And a hat that wonât fit in your hatchback.
Above all, donât call it âdressing up.â Itâs cosplay. The movement has scores of followers around the world, and even its own reality TV show, âHeroes of Cosplay.â
Many of Inland Southern Californiaâs own cosplay heroes will be showing off their costumes, makeup and chutzpah at the annual WonderCon event the smaller sibling of San Diegoâs mammoth Comic-Con today through Sunday at the Anaheim Convention Center.
Tens of thousands of fans each year attend such popculture gatherings that celebrate not just comics, but action movies, science fiction, video games, young-adult movies and much more.
As the conventions have crept into the mainstream, so has cosplay.
Serious cosplay heroes, the ones who earn each otherâs oohs and ahhs, will tell you it can take time and money.
Pauline Velarde, 20, of Redlands will don a different costume for each of WonderConâs three days: a female take on Beetlejuice, Louise Belcher from Foxâs âBobâs Burgersâ animated series and slinky Batman villain Poison Ivy.
Velarde estimates it takes two to three weeks for a simple costume. But the more advanced the outfit, the more time it takes. Props such as elaborate headgear, oversized faux swords, Doom-style tek weapons, call for serious craft-time, too.
âIf you make things from scratch like with props and accessory,â she said, âit can take up to a month or so.â
With all that hard work comes a significant monetary investment. If you want real authenticity you donât need Bruce Wayne money, but it couldnât hurt.
âDepending on the character, and if you want them instantly recognizable, I would say around $200 (each),â Velarde said. âIt depends on how much you want to make it spot on. Itâs worth the money because you can use it again and again.â
Some outfits can go for more than $500. Some cosplayers spend more. Some pay semipro cosplay costumers.
Making an exact replica of a âHaloâ video game character can run upwards of $2,000. Website io9 described a cosplayer at New York Comic-Con who spent $4,000 to create a steam punk version of the Marvel superhero Iron Man.
And the investment can pay off. Each year at the San Diego Comic-Con, the cosplay Masquerade is so popular fills a huge banquet hall and is aired on large video screens to other packed areas of the convention center. Prizes at this Julyâs Comic-con will top $2,500.

Jazz standards
I'm starting with Jazz recently but of course I'm overwhelmed with the sheer amount of information.
Regarding the Jazz Standards does a drummer really need to know them all from the Real Book or some are more staple than others? Is there such a list?
Re: Jazz standards
I don`t think that knowing standards is mandatory for jazz players but it of course helps. These tunes became standards for some particlar reason - other jazz players considered they to be great because of melodies, harmony, propably because of some great performance.
For begining jazz adventure I recomend you such a thing. Because jazz playing include so much styles and approaches it will be good to start from some classics like early Miles, Monk etc. Then you will hear basic ideas of jazz drumming and get familiar with standards.
In my opinion to play jazz you need to develop "soft touch" and learn to avoid some phrases which are good for rock or pop and listening to standards played by masters will help you for sure.
Re: Jazz standards
As a drummer, recognizing song forms can get you a long way. Most standards are either in a blues form or 32 bar AABA (these can be swing, straight 8 or latin). So if you've played any other instruments, hearing the cord changes will help you knowing where you are in the tune. This takes a bit of training. But it is definitely worth it when you go to a jam and all the others agree on a tune that you didn't catch the name of or can't recognize before they start taking choruses (playing solos, if you're not familiar with the term). I've been there.
Once you're familiar with or know the song forms, you start to recognize similarities between tunes and hear when it starts and ends. And if you're lucky enough to have sheet music, you start seeing things like "Oh, this is an AABA-song", "Oh, this is actually a 16-bar blues" or "Aha, see what you did there Gillespie. It's an AABA, where A is latin and B is swung. And there's a tag at the end, and it's played after the head and each solo".
As for tunes more staple than others, yes there are. Here are a few to get you started:
- All the things you are
- All Blues
- Angel Eyes
- Autumn Leaves
- Blue Bossa
- Blue Monk
- Footprints
- Girl from Ipanema
- Love For Sale
- Mr P.C.
- My Funny Valentine
- Night in Tunisia
- Someday my prince will come
- Somewhere over the rainbow
- St. Thomas
- Straight, no chaser
I've skipped a lot of tunes, and it seems to me that there are different tunes more staple that others from jam session to jam session. But these are some of the ones that I've come across more often than others. In any case, the best thing is to know as many as possible and being able to fake it when you don't know it (drummers possibly have the easiest time here, unless it's a tune like Night In Tunisia). If you're planning to go to a jam session that is. You could also always go and not play the first time you're there. Just listen and talk to the folks who are playing. For more tunes, just google something like "most played jazz standards". Once you get to know these tunes, I highly recommend learning some more ;-)

Re: Jazz standards
In my opinion, there's absolutely no substitution for listening to the music to learn the music. You need to spend your time listening, listening and listening some more. Like many others, I grew up listening to this music and continue to do more each and every day. When I say listen, I'm talking about active listening. Not having it on as background music. Get involved in the recording as you would watching your favorite movie.
Get to know the history by getting to know the music and the players that created it.
Start at Louis Armstrong with the Hot 5's and Hot 7's and work your way up from there. Get to know what came from New Orleans, Chicago and New York. This will cover much ground. Small group jazz to big band back to small group.
Yes, it will help to get a Real Book and perhaps follow along the head and learning the structure of the song. But, in the real world recordings there are many times where the arrangement of what's actually played may differ from what is written in the Real Book.
If you want to get a sense of what happened from a high level historical perspective, while it's not a perfect collection, the Ken Burns Jazz DVD set will help. It doesn't cover everything (as it couldn't), may miss a lot, but it also does cover a lot.
Want to know drummers? Check out Danny Gottlieb's book on the Evolution of Jazz Drumming.
Listen to the PAS interview recordings with Mel Lewis http://www.pas.org/experience/oralhistory/mellewis.aspx these are free and a breadth of information.
Most importantly, listen to the music and watch recordings of them play it on YT. Access to information like this has never been easier.
Re: Jazz standards
Not directed at the poster, but maybe because I'm 50 plus, and an old fart, and there's a generational difference in how learning happened when i was growing up, but now I know so many young musicians today, who need a "HOW TO" or " ...IN 30 DAYS".. way of absorbing things.
I know young guys who are learning the alto saxophone, piano theory, jazz, learning & transcribing Coltrane solos, while playing pop, and classical gigs at the same time. AND.. these guys aint that good... at any of the above. They seem very confident and think that the more things they tap into, the richer their education will be.
The answer is so simple really. Listen, listen and listen.
Each time you'll hear new things-and the more things you hear, you'll start to make connections between tunes, eras, styles, the popular stuff, the stuff musicians thought was cool etc etc.
Let that beetlejuice soak deep under your skin and into your soul.Then you'll know what to do with.
( Shitze, I sound like a hippie.. )
Re: Jazz standards
listen , listen, listen !!!
there are a whole lot of things that go into the development of becoming a jazz player .......but in the end there is no substitute for knowing melodies
the more melodies you know the more developed and adaptable your vocabulary will be
this shouldn't be a chore nor should it feel like cramming for a test
if you don't enjoy the process of listening and absorbing the tunes it's possible that jazz is not for you
with that I'll leave you with one of my favorite versions of one of my favorite standards
listen to the melody...its F'n beautiful the way the band speaks to each other .......something magical was captured here
Charlie Persip with some wonderful tasteful drumming on this date
Re: Jazz standards
Assuming they've kept all of the weird late 60's/70's stuff in the current edition, you should know about half the tunes in the Real Book. You figure out which ones those are by hanging out and playing with people, listening to a lot of records, and seeing what other people in your town are playing. That's the natural process for acquiring new tunes. Don't start with a list out of a book; start by going to some people's gigs and seeing what they're playing, and learn those. Or set up a session and see what the others want to play.
Actually, I'm noticing that a lot of younger players-- even ones with jazz studies degrees-- don't know a lot of tunes at all. So don't let fear of being the one clueless guy stop you from approaching people to play.

Re: Jazz standards
Awesome information! Thank you guys, I definitely need to connect with all the Jazz style by listening which is something I admittedly don't do that often.
Thank you all, I'll be keeping this as a reference!
Re: Jazz standards
yeah....... that just happened to me
oh and go buy "little played little bird" by the Todd Bishop group if you want to hear some killing jazz
sorry ....just had to plug it Todd
Re: Jazz standards
I would get books of songs by the following composers: George Gershwin, Cole Porter, Richard Rodgers and Irving Berlin. Sit at the piano and read through them, none of these songs were written as jazz numbers. Most of them were not written with swung 8ths. Getting to know them in their original form will help alot in recognizing the variety of interpretation and deviation that occurs when you jazz up a number. It can be very surprising. It also helps you learn the chords and song structure and to recognize common chord substitutions.
Re: Jazz standards
I agree with listening to the greats play tunes. Blue Note records recorded very many jazz artists. I would listen to the recordings made in the 50's and 60's first, then dig back into
roots. There were other record companies like Prestige and Savoy that also recorded many of the jazz greats.
The reason the Real Book became popular was that if became a collection of tunes that "if everybody had that book" students of jazz could take to jams etc and everybody would have the same tunes, chords, melody etc. Before the "Real Book", a lot of time was spent at jams trying to find out what tune each other could try and work on. The book saved time with that. The downside has been that decades later too many students of jazz only play what is in the various Real Books. There are thousands of other great tunes "out there".
Still, since it is in widespread use, it behooves you to know what's in it and listen to the recordings of those tunes.
Have Fun!
Re: Jazz standards
A good list to get started with from a close friend, and great bass player...
as stated above, listening is essential to learning standards well...
Re: Jazz standards
Yes, you're going to help yourself a great deal by getting familiar with the standards. I wish it wasn't so, because I hate the standards, they're musty and predictable and they smell bad, but if you want to be a jazz musician wouldn't you want to learn that important part of its history, and more important, wouldn't you want to be able to play those classic tunes when you're called to do so?

Re: Jazz standards
I didn't see anyone mention this site...
You can get a lot of mileage out of just knowing song forms; AABA, ABA, ABC, etc. As well as developing other essential tools such as brushes, playing in "2", playing various Latin patterns (Bossa, Samba, Mambo, etc) and the good old shuffle.

The East Cooper Outboard Motor Club Ladies Auxiliary donated $1,000 to Shannon's Hope Camp for bereaved children. The camp, a Bridges for End-of-Life program will be held Oct. 4 and 5 at Camp St. Christopher on Seabrook Island.
This weekend camp is an experience for children ages 6-15 residing in Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties who have experienced the death of a loved one within the past two years. Through participation in fun, yet intense activities, campers are encouraged to speak openly about issues of death and grief.
Together they create friendships and support that allow them to identify and express their feelings in a safe, secure environment. It is a weekend of laughter, tears, sharing and remembering.
Bridges for End-of-Life provides information and resources through several bereavement initiatives for children and adults who are grieving the loss of a loved one and through educational and community awareness outreach for health care professionals, families and community groups.
For more information about Shannon's Hope Camp, visit their official website at www.bridgessc.org.

Sour Cream Enchiladas
This was such an easy throw-together meal last night. Reminded me of the meatless days of yore.
They're cheesy, sour creamy enchiladas straight from an old church cookbook of my mama's. I added a little cayenne for some spice (I'm always doing that) and I loved the way they turned out. Add a little shredded chicken if you're into that sort of thing, and sprinkle on a little cilantro for freshness if you have some on hand.
I ain't got no cilantro. It's winter and my garden's dayd.
Here's how you make 'em:
Start by lopping off the tops of a bunch of green onions.
You'll need about a cup when it's all said and done. Flavor to the max!
Like, totally.
Add the green onions to two cups of sour cream, then measure a half teaspoon of ground cumin…
And a fourth a teaspoon of cayenne.
This adds a nice spice, so if you can't HANDLE the heat, knock it down to an eighth of a teaspoon.
Add a good amount of grated sharp cheddar.
Confession: I used the pre-grated stuff. I had a big bag of it in the fridge and I didn't feel like looking for my grater.
And I didn't feel like exerting myself. Grating can be hard work.
Set the sour cream/cheese mixture aside, then one by one, fry the tortillas in a little canola oil.
No more than five to seven seconds per side…not enough to crisp 'em.
With tongs, pull the tortilla out of the oil and immediately dunk it in enchilada sauce (you'll have this simmering on the stove.)
Pull the tortilla out of the sauce, then lay it flat on a cutting board or plate. Plop some of the sour cream mixture right in the middle.
Then lay it face down in a rectangular baking dish. Repeat until they're all filled.
Sprinkle on the cheese, then throw it in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes.
Serve up two enchiladas at a time, then add a dollop of sour cream and a few slices of green onion.
Dig right in–you've earned it!
The filling is nice: the sour cream and cheese melt together to create a nice texture. Not too cheesy, not too creamy. Nice and mild. And the green onion flavor is fabulous.
Enjoy, guys…and have a wonderful weekend.

Hey, it's "Enchilada-thirty" somewhere!! Our local grocery store sells a chili con queso dip that is seasoned wonderfully. I think a hefty, heaping teaspoon spread down the middle of each of these bad boys would add that extra kick!!
Bookquilter On Sunday, January 23 at 1:34 pm
Went to the store today……this is dinner tonight. Can't wait!!!
Stacy Bishop On Sunday, January 23 at 1:36 pm
Oh, my. These were wonderful! We made them for dinner today! Thanks so much for sharing all your wonderful recipes. We'ver tried several, and we've never been disappointed!
Kristin S On Sunday, January 23 at 1:57 pm
Made em today. DELISH!
I did add a bunch o cilantro and some chicken.
Chrissie On Sunday, January 23 at 2:24 pm
I've been making these for years, and they are still one of my family's favorite meals. I make them bigger by using 8″ or 10″ flour tortillas, and I usually add 1-2 c. shredded chicken. Dipping the tortillas in warm enchilada sauce before filling them seemed like an unnecessary step at first, but it makes them so much more yummy!
J3nn (Jenn's Menu and Lifestyle Blog) On Sunday, January 23 at 4:14 pm
Like Mexican manicotti!! Looks absolutely delish! I've never made enchiladas, but I just might try them after this post.
Katie On Sunday, January 23 at 4:31 pm
My mom just told me about some enchiladas she had at a restaurant last night, Guacamole enchiladas. Fry the corn tortillas, fill 'em with homemade smooth guacamole, bake and top with queso and sour cream. Try that!
Descygna Webb On Sunday, January 23 at 4:34 pm
Hi Ree,
I am just now discovering your site and I'm hooked. I just put these in the oven a minute ago. I tasted the filling before I put the enchiladas together (quality control, of course) and I am so looking forward to this. I love Mexican food and these are right up my alley! Plan on trying those shrimp quesadillas next. Please keep up the good work!
Mrs Mills On Sunday, January 23 at 5:52 pm
We had these for supper and they are great!
julie On Sunday, January 23 at 5:53 pm
I'd really like to see a picture of the inside!! these sound great though! Is the filling more cheesy or more creamy?
Leslie On Sunday, January 23 at 5:55 pm
I made this for dinner tonight for my boyfriend and his friends as a "football" meal, they loved it. I reccommend when frying the corn tortilla you don't use tongs, instead use a holed spatula (the ones that have holes in it – not sure what those are called) and refrain from dipping the tortilla in the enchilada sauce (as they tend to tear apart). Instead spoon some of the sauce on the tortilla before spooning on the creamed mixture. Then after rolling the tortilla up and placing it in the baking pan, spoon enchilada sauce over the enchilada one at a time or all at the end. I also added chicken which was phenomenal. I baked the chicken a few hours before making the meal and baked it with sprinkled cayenne pepper, regular pepper , a little garlic powder and melted butter and it made for delicious chicken to put into the enchiladas. Enjoy .. again these were wonderful!
mel On Sunday, January 23 at 6:03 pm
I made these last night for supper. Did add a bit of chicken though. Best enchiladas ever I must say. Moist and delicious! Just the right amount of sauce too. I've always made them with dumping the sauce on top, but this just works so much better and is much tastier. This will be my go to recipe for enchiladas for sure.
The Healthy Apple On Sunday, January 23 at 6:45 pm
Beautiful pictures, Ree; love the recipe and it's making me hungry already…Perfect for a chilly night like tnite…a great way to warm up with a cheezy delicious dish. Thank you; enjoy your night!

mary (what's cookin' with Mary) On Sunday, January 23 at 7:24 pm
These sound fabulously quick 'n easy. And I can think of a million ways to makes these…. YUM! Thanks PW.
tchrjenn On Sunday, January 23 at 8:12 pm
Wow…those were good. We had them for dinner just a minute ago along with some home made refried black beans. My three year old cleaned his plate. My six year old ate it but wasn't a huge fan. My husband LOVED them. We will be having them again…even my six year old…he will just have to cowboy up! Thanks for the tasty recipe.
Katie M On Sunday, January 23 at 8:15 pm
Ummmm….just made these for Sunday dinner, and my husband just told me these are the best homemade enchiladas he's ever had, what a compliment!
Becky On Sunday, January 23 at 8:22 pm
I have never in my life had an Enchilada and then this week I happen upon 2 recipes at two different food blogs. This must be a sign. I need to try these. These ones in particular look delicious!
Allie On Sunday, January 23 at 8:25 pm
Meh, skip the dip in the oil. Warm the sauce up in a small pan, dip the tortillas directly into the sauce, then continue. The point is to make the tortillas rollable. I do this with both cheese (similar to this recipe) and chicken (cream of chicken base). The way my mama did them, the way my Nogales-born gramma did em. We also always pour a bit on top before the cheese for moisture.
For a less messy fill do: a couple of pinches of cheese, white onion (we do green in the chicken enchies), chopped hardboiled egg… for meat with this nice red sauce I sometimes do a nice ground chuck or sirloin, browned. You can always top em with sour cream.
Susan Mc On Wednesday, January 26 at 3:07 pm
Hey Allie… Nogales! I grew up in Sierra Vista! My mom always made her enchiladas flat, in stacks like pancakes but very similar recipe. Nothing like Sonoran mexican food!
Janice Putney On Sunday, January 23 at 8:47 pm
I made these last night for dinner and they were awesome!
Michelle J On Sunday, January 23 at 9:39 pm
I made these last night for dinner and they were DE-LISH!!! And very easy and simple!! Thank you so much for sharing!
Jennifer Hill On Sunday, January 23 at 9:44 pm
Just got done cleaning the kitchen from making and eating the sour cream pancakes from your cookbook! O Lord in Heaven, they were delish! My family inhaled them all!
cathy On Sunday, January 23 at 10:00 pm
This is almost how my mom made them. This would have been when we lived in Osage county. When can I come over for these for dinner? I will fry the tortillas.
PEk On Sunday, January 23 at 10:46 pm
No need to fry those tortillas, just microwave em till soft.
Lindsey On Sunday, January 23 at 11:32 pm
How are you not 300 lbs? I mean, I really wanna know.
MyNameInBaconGrease On Monday, January 24 at 7:15 pm
I second that question!
Andrew On Monday, January 24 at 12:04 am
Eeeeek this looks decadent
Molly On Monday, January 24 at 12:12 am
Thanks for this! I live in New Zealand, where Indian, Thai and Japanese food can be found in abundance. But no Mexican – except for the occasional rare and exotic Mexican restaurant in the bigger cities (with prices to match!) No quick burrito fixes, fresh salsa, or cheap delicious Tex-Mex. Oh how I miss Mexican food. Luckily, ingredients such as black beans and tortillas are popping up in the supermarkets now and after finding the jalapeno man at the local farmer's market, I can now make my own fresh, spicey salsa! I'll be giving this recipe a try too!
Kristin Gaca On Monday, January 24 at 12:19 am
Just made these for dinner, big hit in the house! Will definitely be making these again. Thanks for sharing!
KB in SD On Monday, January 24 at 12:22 am
I made these Saturday night and they were amazing. My new go-to recipe for enchiladas. Thanks Ree!
vivek dominos india On Monday, January 24 at 3:38 am
very good pictures and nice explanation … its good for sharing such things…
Trish Yount On Monday, January 24 at 4:05 am
Saw you post and them made these for dinner, my children LOVED them. I served corn and black bean salad along side with cilantro on top of everything Perfect combo!!
Corn and Blackbean salad: 2 cup frozen corn, 1 can black beans drained and rinsed, juice of 1 lime, 1/2 red onion finely chopped, 1 red pepper ( I just used my jarred roasted red pepper and blotted on a top to remove moisture) Salt, Pepper, and a shot of hot sauce if you into that kind of thing Mix it all together and top with cilantro
Deborah G On Monday, January 24 at 8:10 am
OMG! I made these last night (cancelled the beef stew I had planned) and they were such a hit. Definitley made it onto the list of repeats! Yummy!
SaraH On Monday, January 24 at 8:18 am
Made these with my daughter and a friend on Saturday. We team-cooked, doubled the recipe and fed a total of 8 hungry people (and 1 very bad, sneaky dog on Sunday morning). Very good and super simple. THANKS!!!
bridget {bake at 350} On Monday, January 24 at 9:09 am
Ree…..I might as well turn on my printer EVERY time before I click on your blog, because I always find myself running over to turn on the printer to print another amazing recipe! Oh girl….these are calling my name!
Sian Breslin On Monday, January 24 at 9:49 am
Those photos are making my mouth water! Need to keep an eye out for those little tortillas, I've never seen them before. Yum
Jenn On Monday, January 24 at 10:26 am
I made these last night….they are so good! I couldn't help but munch on the sour cream mix while they baked!!!!
Brianne Neufeld On Monday, January 24 at 12:48 pm
These look sooooo Yummy!! Very different from the sour cream enchiladas I grew up eating! I'm gonna have to make these someday soon! And maybe I'll send you my sour cream enchilada recipe!
(Sorry about all the exclamations, my fingers get overly excited sometimes
Kristin D. (Okie) On Monday, January 24 at 1:40 pm
Fixed these last night with some added chicken and everyone loved them. I fixed one batch of these and a batch of beef and they devoured almost the whole setting! Thanks for the wonderful recipe!
Michelle On Monday, January 24 at 2:51 pm
Totally made these last night- have been looking for something different than my usual enchiladas. I live in South Texas- so we know enchiladas I love you, my husband loves you, and my daughter…well she just wants your horses.
Kristi On Monday, January 24 at 4:13 pm
I made these yesterday. They are soooooooooooooo good. I had oil snapping and enchilada sauce dripping on the floor…and my husband accused me of smoking up the house….(there was NO smoke!) but he apologized later when he consumed lots of the final product. I put a little chicken in mine and I am already getting requests for the next time! Thanks, p-dub!
Lovie On Monday, January 24 at 4:58 pm
We tried this yesterday and it was a family crowd pleaser! I followed your photos and they came out so cheesy pretty!
rebekah holman On Monday, January 24 at 5:29 pm
i gotta admit – these LOOKED good – but really fell short on the "taste" part. the filling curdled, and the green onions were way overpowering. disappointed, i think this was the first PW recipe i didn't like. also – i really wish more people who comment on these recipes would TRY them first! anything can look good – it's much more constructive when different cooks can talk about how they liked/disliked, or would change/keep the same.
N On Wednesday, February 23 at 12:23 am
Adding about 1 tablespoon of starch, such as cornstarch or flour, to the sour cream mixture prevents curdling.
Diana On Monday, January 24 at 6:11 pm
Made these last night for the fam. I added chicken and a chopped red pepper to the sour cream mixture – delicious!! Thank you!!
MyNameInBaconGrease On Monday, January 24 at 7:11 pm
We just had these for dinner…I say 'had' because there are NO leftovers; please understand this is a monumental moment in my home!
Just one word of caution…do NOT try to be an overachiever and cook/prep more than one enchilada at a time! I attempted to heat the tortillas 3 at a time in the fryer oil and then transfer them into the sauce and into the casserole pan. My thinking was that this would eliminate an extra plate to wash and cook dinner for my family of 7 faster. It didn't! Instead, it took twice as long to assemble as the tortillas started to stick together, and by the time I got to the bottom of the pile, (as I made a double batch – again, the overachiever 'I'll make one and freeze one') they had started to disintegrate.
Learn from my mistake, and enjoy every moment of this yummy meal!
Heather On Monday, January 24 at 7:34 pm
Just made these for dinner…very tasty and looked really good. I agree with rebekah, the sour cream did curdle a bit and ladies, don't forget to transfer your tortilla from the oil to a paper towel to soak up some of the oil….Thank god I remembered or I would of had a mess on my hands. Used homemade tortillas which were SUPERB!! This is a "must have" for the Super Bowl.
Lisa R On Tuesday, January 25 at 9:01 am
I made these last night for my family and they were a big hit. So creamy and delicious. They were messy to make and the tortillas get quite delicate after being dipped in oil and then the enchilada sauce but so what. Will make these again and again. Thanks Ree.
Mindi On Tuesday, January 25 at 9:02 am
Hey PW, thought you'd want to know my mom made these last night, doubled your recipe and brought half to us! All I had to was throw together a salad and some beans! They were amazing! Here's to mothers everywhere!!! Whoop whoop!!
HandyMaam On Tuesday, January 25 at 12:58 pm
MEXICAN-APPROVED! Whew! My Mexican boyfriend is very territorial over traditional Mexican fare, and he was rather quiet as I prepared this dish. To my utter astonishment, he LOVED these, and I think he may even prefer them over his mother's recipe (GASP!). I added mushrooms (sliced and browned) and shredded chicken to my version. Thank you Ree for this great recipe!
Stacia W On Tuesday, January 25 at 6:22 pm
I made these tonight but added spinach & tomatillos to the filling for some veggies- they were delicious and incredibly easy!
Lisa@ Dishes of Mrs. Fish On Tuesday, January 25 at 8:20 pm
Oh looks so delicious! Can't wait to make these!
alice from San Francisco On Tuesday, January 25 at 8:21 pm
Yum. Just made these for dinner tonight but was in a hurry so did a couple of short cuts. I heated the enchilada sauce and dipped the white corn tortillas in the hot sauce to soften and eliminated the frying step (and some calories). I lined a baking dish with six softened, dipped tortillas. I cut up some leftover grilled chicken breast and added this to the sour cream and cheese misture and spooned the mixture evenly over the tortillas in the baking dish. Topped with six additional dipped and softened tortillas. Poured enchilada sauce over all, topped with more grated cheese and baked in the oven. Took about 10 minutes to assemble and less than 30 minutes to bake.
Anna On Tuesday, January 25 at 8:28 pm
OMG! I love these. I love enchiladas but don't have the time to make them, so I made this as a cassarole. It was so yummy and cheesy but light. Even my uber picky husband loved it!
Paxmom On Tuesday, January 25 at 9:51 pm
I made these for dinner Sunday night. Yum Yum Yum. Who knew frying the tortillas first was the secret to perfect enchiladas?! Even impressed my m-i-l… no easy feat.
Linda Hunter On Tuesday, January 25 at 10:59 pm
I made this recipe tonight….I added cooked hamburger…..it was great! Thank you! Love, Linda
Andi On Wednesday, January 26 at 8:32 am
I whipped these up for dinner the other night, and it's the first leftovers that my husband helped make disappear in a while! Yay! I used green enchilada sauce instead of red. Yum!
Coryn On Wednesday, January 26 at 10:17 am
I made a modified version of these Sunday and added some peppers and onions into the mixture. They were great! Thanks!
Erin On Wednesday, January 26 at 3:36 pm
Made these the other night. Added chicken. I don't even like enchiladas but they were pretty flippin' good. The end.
Theresa On Wednesday, January 26 at 7:27 pm
I made these last night for dinner + chicken–BEST ENCHILADAS I've ever made, and DANG, I've tried so many times to make good enchiladas!!!! I thought I'd tried everything–why didn't I figure out to fry those dry corn tortillas in oil?!?! LOVED THEM! Thanks for keeping us entertained and fed well!!!! Can I come live with you????
Sara Ross On Wednesday, January 26 at 9:21 pm
These were fantastic!!!!!!! We added chicken to ours. My husband deemed them restaurant quality!!! Thanks Ree! Can't wait to try out some recipes from your cookbook that I just got for my birthday!
Eve On Wednesday, January 26 at 9:22 pm
Came out wonderful! Delicious- I wish more people would wait to comment until after they made your food, Ree. My family loved the recipe, as many others will too. Thank you!
MissouriMom On Wednesday, February 2 at 10:17 am
I agree about trying recipes before tweaking or commenting. My philosophy is to enjoy in moderation and then tweak if you will.
Sara Ross On Wednesday, January 26 at 9:23 pm
These were fantastic! We added chicken to ours. My husband deemed them restaurant quality!!! I can't wait to try out some of your recipes from your cookbook that i just got for my birthday! Thanks!
Linda On Thursday, January 27 at 6:46 pm
I made these tonight and they were delicious!!! I added shredded chicken and it was perfect. The only thing I should have done is add a little enchilada sauce in bottom of the baking dish so that sticking wouldn't be an issue. Still, this will be in my recipe repertoire from now on
Marisa On Thursday, January 27 at 6:58 pm
I added shredded chicken and used salsa verde (green sauce) instead of red enchilada sauce cause i already had a jar open. Using canola oil spray on both side of tortilla then putting them in the skillet keeps your tortillas from swimming in oil. If the tortillas are too greasy they are harder to work with.
they're in the oven and i envision deliciousness and yumminess from them!
Deb Plapp On Friday, January 28 at 11:53 am
Oh my gosh, Ree, you crack me up! All the recipes I've checked out look yummy. I want to send my condolences… I'm so sorry your garden's dayd, and you ain't got no cilantro
Carissa On Friday, January 28 at 6:01 pm
Eating sour cream enchiladas now. Tastes good. I can even imagine these with chicken. I used a little less of the cayenne. Still has the bite.
Another tasty recipe!
Thanks Ree!
Patty On Sunday, January 30 at 5:05 pm
I love these enchiladas! My husband hates them! I think they are the only thing I have ever made that he hated–that was about 4 years ago, and he still talks about how bad they were. But, if you like sour cream they are scrumptious.
Karen On Monday, January 31 at 6:44 am
Made these last night for my college kids….saved one back for my husband or they would have been all gone!!! Easy and delicious:)
Nicole T On Monday, January 31 at 11:34 am
Yummm! I just made these last night and they were wonderful. I think they've become my new favorite! I added a little bit off minced garlic (cuz I'm wild like that) and some cracked pepper. Even my meat eater hubby loved em!
SJ On Monday, January 31 at 7:27 pm
Made these tonight, they were great!! Served it with some mexican rice and refried beans. Husband said he loved it and it tasted authentic!! woohoo!! I added a little can of chicken to the mixture and only used about 1.5 cups of low-fat sour cream. It turned out great!!
Kai's mom On Tuesday, February 1 at 1:00 pm
My 1 year old and I are eating these for dinner tonight and they are yummy! I followed the recipe exactly and they are not too spicy either. I think next time I'll probably skip frying though since they are a little too greasy for us but other than that we will make these again and again
MissouriMom On Wednesday, February 2 at 10:12 am
We eat sensibly five days a week. I'm not about to mess with PW's recipes..they're meant to be for the remaining two "give it up, dancin' in the rain days" of food sin. Hubby's and my weight doesn't change and we're just a tad (5 lbs.) more than we'd like. Come summer with yard work and gardening, those pounds will say "bye bye."
Joy On Wednesday, February 2 at 5:14 pm
Mmm! I just made these for dinner and couldn't wait to share with you how much we loved them! I'm sure you already know! I added shredded chicken and frozen corn, it was delicioussssss, I don't know why I've been waiting all my life to make this! Thanks for a beautiful tutorial!
Kerry On Wednesday, February 2 at 10:30 pm
Made these enchiladas the other night. They are fabulous! Restaurant quality! And while we were snowed in yesterday, I heated them up and they were just as good as leftovers!
Thanks Ree!
Misty On Friday, February 4 at 11:52 pm
Hi PW, just wondering why the need to pop them in the oil if you're not crisping them? Is this an important step that will ruin it all if I don't follow it. I tried looking for the answer in the comments hoping someone else had asked this but as there were 270 plus comments I gave up.
Trisha On Saturday, February 5 at 4:32 pm
Oh my, these were sinfully delicious! These will be going in my binder with all of my favorite recipes (which 90% of them are PW)!
Thank you for this easy and yummy recipe! My belly is happy and full!
Melissa On Monday, February 7 at 10:00 am
I tried making this last night and it was a nightmare!! I put the corn tortilla in the oil, did what you said and the tortilla rips apart, then I dunk it in the sauce it rips apart more! So I thought it was the tongs I was using so I switched from metal ones to my bamboo tongs and that still didn't work. The tortillas kept falling apart and I don't know what or how you folded them over with. Did you use tongs for that too? Or your fingers? Because I tried both and it is impossible! Other recipes I have tried of yours have been great but this one falls way short!! Let me know if you have any ideas as to why they kept ripping apart. Thanks
Ashley On Monday, February 7 at 8:28 pm
when i made this i had a HUGE problem with my tortillas ripping when i pulled them out of the enchilada sauce… any tips?
Emily M On Tuesday, March 1 at 7:02 pm
Your oil wasn't hot enough! My first couple did the same so I turned the heat up and they stopped ripping apart. Hope this helps!
robin On Saturday, February 12 at 11:52 am

stephanie On Tuesday, February 15 at 7:44 pm
My kids LOVED this, even my picky eater. I had made them after dinner, for tomorrow's dinner and the 3 year old ate 2 1/2 and the 6 year old ate 3 1/2!! Mama didn't like them as much.
Forrest Rexroat On Wednesday, February 16 at 6:11 am
Thanks for providing such information. gfmniujrhgbj
Brook Irwin On Thursday, February 17 at 9:16 pm
All I can say is WOW!! I added 2 cups of shredded chicken and a little milk… I am so excited to make these for EVERYONE! They put my old enchiladas to shame, I would pay for these. I LOVE you PW. Thank you.
Rachel Hilliker On Wednesday, February 23 at 8:01 pm
Just had these for dinner but added some shredded chicken, it was soo good! Thanks for all the amazing and easy to follow recipes!
Kimby On Sunday, February 27 at 9:13 am
I made these for supper last night. We are wrestling for the leftovers today!
Debbie from Illinois On Sunday, February 27 at 1:17 pm
We made these for lunch after church today and they were delicious! I hid the leftovers in the back of the fridge. : )
Emily M On Tuesday, March 1 at 10:11 am
This is the best Mexican recipe I have ever tried. Yum! Thanks PW!
aabucher On Friday, March 4 at 1:52 pm
In looking at the comments, it looks like a lot of people think these look great but who has actually made them? I cook a ton of Ree's recipes and couldn't get the hang of this one. The sour cream (which was fresh) got lumpy and curdly in the oven. When I went to plate them, everything was a soupy mess. I followed the recipe to a tee. Anyone have any tips?
Chelsey On Monday, March 7 at 4:05 pm
I made these and my sour cream came out curdly in the oven also! I used a fresh thing of sour cream also. My tortillas came out mushy as well. The taste of them was very good, but those other two things didn't come out that well.
Chelsey On Monday, March 7 at 4:01 pm
I made these and they tasted so good, but the tortillas came out mushy. Has this happened to anyone else? I think I may need to cook the tortillas longer next time.
Christina On Monday, March 7 at 7:52 pm
These were sooooo good. Very easy to make too! Definitely a keeper. I ordered your cookbook and can't wait to check it out!
Christy B. On Monday, March 7 at 9:31 pm
I made these enchiladas for dinner. I've been craving "restaurant style" enchiladas (having never successfully made them myself) and thought these looked like they might hit the spot.
The assembly is not for the faint of heart. After all that work (and mess on my stovetop!) I was hoping my work would pay off (but also kind of hoping they'd bomb so I wouldn't be tempted to make them again). They turned out quite good! My husband and 20-month-old both ate them up. The flavor was just what I was looking for and the corn tortillas tasted just right. I did think they were a bit too sour creamy, and will cut the sour cream back by at least half if I make them again. But then again, with a name like "sour cream enchiladas" what did I expect?
Not used to cooking with cayenne pepper I was a little worried by your warning that it might be too spicy, but I didn't notice or have any problem with the 1/4 t in the recipe. Though who knows, maybe I didn't mix it in good enough and will have a hot surprise in a leftover tomorrow!
Thanks for the pictures that inspired me to make this. It's the first recipe I've made from your site and have bookmarked others already.
Stacy On Wednesday, March 9 at 11:35 am
Thank you once again for an amazing meal. I have had such great results using any of the recipes you have shared, including this one. My husband is a Midwesterner so a meal without meat isn't quite a meal to him. Meatless Mondays were a struggle but something we wanted to do for both the environmental and health benefits. These just might make him a believer…even if he did say they'd be even better with a little shredded chicken. You can take the boy out of the Midwest…
Mary On Wednesday, March 9 at 6:42 pm
I poached some chicken with Sazon Goya and a little cumin, then shredded it and mixed it in with the sour cream. THESE ARE AMAZING!!!!
Mary On Wednesday, March 9 at 6:44 pm
I poached some chicken with Sazon Goya and a little cumin, then shredded it and mixed it in with the sour cream. THESE ARE AMAZING!!!! The whole family ate it. Side of Spanish RIce and dinner is served!!!
Tara On Tuesday, March 22 at 2:52 pm
This will be my third time making these enchiladas tonight! We love them and also add some shredded chicken to the mix.
Kelly On Tuesday, March 22 at 6:54 pm
Amazing! My 2yr old LOOOVVVEDD these! She even helped me make them – wasn't a fan of the green onions by themselves, but once she tasted them mixed with everything, I had to put her stool up so she would stop eating the filling!
She normally doesn't eat "green" anything, but this is a winner. Will have this over and over again. Thank you!
Becky Dunn On Sunday, March 27 at 3:57 pm
LOVE the simplicity of ingredients. These were WONDERFUL!! Big Daddy thanks you, and so do I. These were a major hit!!!
Candice On Tuesday, April 19 at 10:56 am
It does not say (or maybe I am missing it??) but where is the recipe for the enchilada sauce that you dunk the tortillas into?
Mary On Friday, May 13 at 9:53 am
Oh heavens! These look great, and your pictures are beautiful. I can't wait to try the recipe. Thanks!

Comments from the Churchill Competition
The director of the Churchill Foundation sent these (edited) comments to fellowship advisers after the last round of competition.
February 2013
Dear Colleagues,
If I could identify the single greatest weakness in many applications, it would be the quality of the writing. I make that comment not solely because I taught expository writing as a graduate student but also because the reviewers made the same comment again and again. With so many strong applications, it is often the clarity, precision, and elegance of the prose that distinguishes one wonderful student from another. One reader commented over and over again "incoherent," "mediocre writing," "unreadable," "poorly written," etc. and made an anthology of examples of poor writing in his reviews: "Through having done so much research, I have glimpsed into what being a scientist actually entails." "I believe that physics holds key breakthroughs in research on..." "By fulfilling my own potential, I will be in a position where I can..." "This is also not an essay about how my professor made me into a scientist by being mean to me." "Positive results inexorably precipitate." I will be the first to admit that writing an application is not easy, but I will also be the first to admit that without presenting outstanding plans of work and coherent personal essays no one will succeed.
I should note also that you might do well to advise your students when they write to directors of laboratories not to address their emails with "Hey, Professor Smith" or "Hi, Dr. Jones" or "Dear Bob." I myself received an email that asked, "What do you guys expect in the Personal Statement?" I am not joking; the level of informality appears rude and is certainly inappropriate.
I hope that you find these comments useful. As always, please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

Sondre Lerche Stops By Letterman
Posted: November 28, 2011
Norwegian pop-rocker Sondre Lerche has been touring pretty hard this year after releasing an eponymous sixth album back in June, traveling across the United States and Europe (including a few stops in his home country).
But, Lerche took the time to stop by the "Late Show with David Letterman" last Tuesday night, where he played the second single off Sondre Lerche, "Private Caller."
At the end of the performance, Lerche's song gets an ovation, while Letterman himself makes a point to compliment him on his blue Gretsch guitar.
Check it out below:

For Public Health Professionals
Did You Know that 98% of reported foodborne disease outbreaks involved only one state? State, local and territorial public health departments have the primary responsibility for identifying and investigating outbreaks and voluntarily reporting outbreaks to CDC through a web-based program, the National Outbreak Reporting System (NORS). For foodborne outbreaks, NORS interfaces with the Foodborne Disease Outbreak Surveillance System to collect information, such as:
- Date and location of the foodborne outbreak
- Number of people who became ill and their symptoms
- Food implicated in the outbreak
- Setting where the food was prepared and eaten
- Pathogen that caused the outbreak
Below you will find select information and resources geared toward public health and medical professionals working in food safety. Information on this site will continue to be updated.

"With these two contracts now concluded, the South Stream Pipeline through the Black Sea is taking another decisive step towards project execution. We believe we have found the right partners in INTECSEA and URS to help us meet our ambitious targets. Both companies have major expertise and knowledge to support us in a timely and efficient implementation of our offshore pipeline project," says Marcel Kramer, CEO South Stream Transport AG.
FEED to further specify the offshore project
The INTECSEA contract covers activities to be conducted during the FEED phase. These include the front end development of the offshore pipeline such as the project execution plan. Numerous pipeline routes through the Black Sea, as well as landfall options, have been assessed during the feasibility study stage. South Stream Transport will now conduct further studies in the FEED phase, to further develop, optimise, and define the offshore project. This process will culminate in tenders for both materials and installation contracts later this year.
Environmental and social studies form integral basis of the permitting procedure
In addition to setting up the fundamental development for the offshore pipeline, South Stream Transport focuses on satisfying the requirements of the countries through whose waters the pipeline will pass in order to construct and operate the pipeline through the Black Sea. The ESIA will form an integral part of the permitting process and will be completed in accordance with national, EU, and international law. It will also fulfil the requirements of the lenders who invest in the offshore project in the future. The ESIA contract with URS will identify and assess the project's potential environmental, socioeconomic, and cultural heritage impacts. The results will enable South Stream Transport to minimise the potential impacts of the offshore pipeline and keep the project's footprint to a minimum throughout its lifecycle.
South Stream Transport AG is established for the planning, construction, and subsequent operation of the offshore pipeline through the Black Sea. On 16 September 2011, OAO Gazprom, Eni S.p.A., EDF S.A., and BASF SE/Wintershall Holding GmbH signed the shareholder agreement for South Stream Transport AG. The pipeline is scheduled to start commercial operations by the end of 2015. South Stream Transport aims at a final investment decision and the start of construction by the end of 2012.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - After a disappointing Friday, the University of New Mexico bounced back with sweep of Texas Tech (6-4) and Drake (11-9) today in the New Mexico Invitational at Lobo Field. UNM moved to 5-7 on the year, snapping a four-game slide.
Analise Rubalcava went 2-3 with a home run, two RBI, and pitched seven strong innings to lead UNM in its win over Texas Tech (3-8).
New Mexico put up two runs with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and relief pitcher Kerry Hodgins retired the final seven batters as the Lobos' handed Drake (6-2) its second loss of the season. The 11 runs were a season-high for UNM, while Hodgins (1-0) notched her first collegiate victory.
Drake right fielder Bridget Shields overran Cristin Anderson's single to right, allowing Tianna George to score from first and Anderson to move to third. Samantha Hughes then beat out an infield single to drive in Anderson.
Earlier in the day, New Mexico broke open a 3-3 game versus Texas Tech when Rubalcava doubled to left, past a diving Stephanie Drewry, to score Katie Gilmore, who had singled and stolen second.
The Lobos - who were officially the visiting team in the tournament bracket - added two more in the top of sixth off Texas Tech reliever Alex Watkins (0-1).
Tianna George drove in Erin Brandow on a scorching double off the center-field fence. Cristin Anderson sacrificed George over to third and Samantha Hughes drove in the run with a sacrifice fly to center.
The Red Raiders had the tying run at the plate with one out in the bottom of the seventh, but the converted third baseman Rubalcava (3-4) induced ground outs from Holley Gench and pinch hitter Tye Coats to end the threat.
After falling behind early in its previous two games, New Mexico struck first in the second inning when Rubalcava drilled a 3-1 pitch from Texas Tech starter Ashly Jacobs over the left field scoreboard for her second home run of the year.
Following a Shenice Cox double to left-center and a Shaunte Duarte walk, Anderson punched a two-out double into left field to give the Lobos a 3-0 lead. The Lobos' second baseman entered the day just 2-17 on the season with no RBIs.
The Red Raiders pulled even with three runs in the bottom of the third. Leah Legler led off the inning with a bloop single to right, Drewry reached on a bunt, and Megan Shupp singled to center to drive in Legler.
The Lobos, however, gave two away when the third baseman, Duarte, was unable to hold onto a throw from the shortstop, George, resulting in a two-base error. Instead of getting the force out at third, the ball skipped toward the UNM dugout, allowing Dury to score and Shapp to advance to third.
Two outs later, Eiben dropped a bloop single to left, plating the third run of the inning.
New Mexico's defense was sensational in the sixth inning, however. George gunned down a Red Raider runner from deep in the shortstop hole, with a beautiful stretch from first baseman Katie Gilmore. Anderson flashed some leather with a nifty pick and throw for the second out, then closed out the inning with a sensational diving stop and toss to George.

Nicholas Windle
I see you
When sad and feeling down,
These words I like to say.
For sweet lord beside me in my life,
I fear not, come what may.
Lord I see you.
In the cotton clouds,
That floats on high above,
I see you.
In the gentle breeze,
And the snow white turtle dove.
I see you,
As the skies grow dark,
As colors contrast against the grey,
I see you,
In the warm glowing sun,
That makes up the summer day.
I see you,
As the mighty oceans rant,
There waves crashing on the shore.
I see you,
On the ice cold tips,
Where the mountains start to soar.
I see you,
In the colour flora,
That covers mother earth.
I see you,
Through a child eyes,
And the precious gift of birth.
For all these things my heart gives praise,
That makes up are waking lives.
The lessons learned and I travel home,
And reborn again reprised.

Gov. Peter Shumlin isn't the most popular guy in the room, but he would win re-election anyway, according to a poll done last weekend by Public Policy Polling.
Public Policy Polling said Vermonters polled by automated questions over the phone indicated they would choose first-term Democrat over several different Republicans in next year's election.
Former Lt. Gov. Brian Dubie, whom Shumlin defeated by a slim margin last year, came the closest in the poll, with Shumlin leading him 48-40 percent.
That is despite Dubie's greater popularity among repondents. For Dubie, 48 percent saw him favorably to 33 percent negatively. For Shumlin, 45 percent were favorable toward him to 36 negative.
Forty-five percent said they approve of Shumlin's job performance; 36 percent disapproved.
Other possible Republican matchups against Shumlin in the poll:
Shumlin over state Sen. Randy Brock, 51-29 percent.
Shumlin over Barre Mayor Thom Lauzon, 52-25 percent.
Shumlin over state Auditor Tom Salmon, 50-31 percent.
Shumlin over Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, 50-33 percent.
Shumlin over businessman Mark Snelling, 50-29 percent.
Plenty of people hadn't developed an opinion about Lauzon – 77 percent said they weren't sure if they had a favorable or unfavorable opinion about him. A fair number (55 percent) didn't know how they felt about Scott, a first-term lieutenant governor who'd been in the state Senate 10 years.
Shumlin, at his news conference, said, "I don't pay any attention to polls." I think it's fair to say no one believed him.

I recently spoke with Marty Wingate, a garden writer and speaker, and Barbara Dehn, a nurse practitioner specializing in women's health, about just how good gardening is for bone health. Marty and Barbara will be leading a seminar on "Gardening for Good Health" tomorrow at the San Francisco Flower & Garden Show, but they were nice enough to give me a brief preview.
With 10 million people in the
What I didn't know until speaking to Barbara and Marty is that gardening is a perfect fit for the kind of exercise our bones need. A recent study showed that women who garden received greater benefits to their bone health than those taking an aerobics or dance class. Barbara advises that exercising for bone health doesn't have to be intense--you don't even need to break a sweat. Just about everything we do in the garden--kneeling to pull weeds, pushing a lawn mower, or even just walking around to see what's blooming--is the kind of weight-bearing exercise that builds better bones.
And while the most important thing is that you garden, rather than what you garden, Barbara suggests that it doesn't hurt to plant some calcium-rich veggies like broccoli or bok choy while you're at it.
But one of the most crucial yet often overlooked factors for strong bones is getting the recommended amount of Vitamin D (at least 800-1000 international units a day), which helps your body absorb calcium. As Americans have increased their use of sunscreen and decreased the amount of time they spend outside overall, our intake of Vitamin D from sunshine has diminished. That leaves our bones more vulnerable, and while it may decrease our risk of skin cancer, there are concerns that it may increase the risk of certain other cancers. Instead, Barbara suggests going outside with arms and legs uncovered and unprotected for the first 15 minutes, and then applying sunscreen for the remainder of the time outdoors. (Darker-skinned women may need more than 15 minutes.)
While bone loss is a greater concern for women, whose bones lose density as women lose estrogen, men are not immune to the problem. Although men naturally experience less significant bone loss, steroids and other medications they may be taking can decrease bone density for them as well.
For more information, check out BoneHealth.com and the National Osteoporosis Foundation.
And if you're in the bay area and can get to the SF Flower & Garden Show, don't miss Marty and Barbara's seminar tomorrow at 3:00 p.m., where they'll discuss the topic in more detail and provide additional tips to help gardeners

Join Jeff Bartels as he covers the most important features of this industry-standard drafting and design application in AutoCAD 2011 Essential Training. This course begins with a tour of AutoCAD's interface and the tools used to create basic shapes. It then focuses on the methods used to modify and refine geometry while emphasizing accuracy and good habits to build a solid design foundation. The course covers using layers, line types, and colors to organize a drawing file and explains how to efficiently annotate a design and prepare it for final output. Throughout the title, Jeff shares industry techniques used in production and reinforces concepts using practical examples. Exercise files are included with the course.
Finding the distance between two points doesn't always require us to create a dimension, some times just knowing the measurement is all we want. In times like these we can use AutoCAD's Distance tool. On my screen I have a site plan for a proposed restaurant. Let me mention that, this is a civil engineering drawing, so it was created such that each unit equals one foot. Let's verify some of the measurements in this drawing. First of all I would like to measure the width of this parking stall, to do that I am going to use the Distance tool.
Distance is located in the Utilities Panel, if I click this fly-out, we can find Distance at the top of the menu. Also notice that Distance is the default option, so if I wanted to, I could launch the command by clicking this large icon. Now to find a distance all I have to do is click two points, and AutoCAD will tell me how far apart they are. I am going to select the endpoint here and the endpoint here, and I could see those points are 9 units apart, so the stall must be 9 feet wide.
If I would like to take another measurement. I can press the Enter key to repeat the command. Let's find the depth of the stall this time, I'll measure the distance from the end point here to the intersection right here, and I could see that stall is 18 feet deep. Make sure and use Object Snaps when you are taking measurements, it's the only way to guarantee your measurements are accurate. Let's find one more distance, I'll press Enter to repeat the command, and I would like to find the width of this drive through lane.
So I'll measure a distance from a point, nearest to this line to a point perpendicular, to the other side, and I could see the drive through lane measures 12 feet wide. When I am finished taking measurements, I can select Exit from the menu or I can click the Escape key. Now taking individual measurements is nice, but what if I like to find the cumulative total of several measurements. As an example may be I would like to measure the parameter of my proposed building.
I'll move up and launch the Distance tool, and then I will zoom in and select this lower outside corner, and take a look at my command line, notice I have an option called Multiple points. I'll right-click and select Multiple and then I'll select the endpoint here, endpoint here, I will select the endpoint here. Each time I select a point, AutoCAD is adding that distance to the previous measurement. I'll select the endpoint here, I'll select this endpoint, and when I am finished, I'll right-click and select Close to close my shape.
And I can see the total distance right here, 235.69 feet. So if you'd like to verify some of the measurements in your drawing, whether it be one at a time or a cumulative total, you can use AutoCAD's Distance tool and avoid the hassle of creating unnecessary dimensions.

Mobs, sharks and buckets of blood
Posted: October 09, 2012|
WHEN my uncle worked as a Pill ferryman, it's said that he would take the fare in the boat, which was overlooked by The Watch House, the old Customs House.
An old lady, who used to sit in the window knitting, had a pin cushion at her side and, for every person who crossed on the ferry, she would push a pin into the cushion.
At the end of a shift, the ferryman had to walk to the Watch House and pay in his takings, money which had to tally with the number of pins in the cushion.
In those days there was not much to do in the village for us children.
There were three mobs – the Park Mob, the Longshore Mob and the Pill Field Mob.
Pill Field (now Newsome Avenue) is where we used to play football.
My mother always told us to keep away from Watch House or the Oakum Boys would get us.
She told us that they lived in Ham Green woods, but this was just a story she made up to stop us going there.
She didn't like us collecting chestnuts at Ham Green because of the men walking around there who had TB, or consumption. Ham Green was a fever hospital at the time.
Before I was born, the Pill pilots used to have their boats built at the Watch House.
The Oakum Boys were the labourers to the men who would caulk the vessels.
Oakum is hemp, treated with tar, and used for caulking the seams in wooden boats and ships.
At Ham Green, where some steps lead down to the river, three nurses were paddling their feet at the high tide when two of them slipped in and were drowned. My uncle picked them up from the river some time later.
During the winter months the lake at Ham Green would sometimes freeze over.
One year, when two boys were playing on the ice, it gave way beneath them and they were drowned.
I also recall a ferryman being drowned while I was a child.
There are many stories about how the Pill Sharks name came about.
If a dead body was found in the river, the person who recovered it – usually a ferryman – would get a payment.
They would usually take the body to the Shire side because they would get more money there than on the Pill, Somerset, side.
There were very few cars about when I was a child, the roads being mostly gravel.
Eventually they were covered in tarmac, but were still narrow.
Most people travelled by train, which ran every half hour from Portishead to Temple Meads.
As children we used to play lots of street games, such as knock out ginger – knocking on doors and then running away.
We would also put black cotton across the road to knock people's hats off.
If we got chased we would disappear into the village's alleyways.
Pill Rag in November was always an occasion that we looked forward to, with a huge bonfire on the green.
With home-made masks on our faces we would carry a tin with a rag and paraffin, which we would light up and carry through the streets.
Pill Regatta was another occasion that we loved.
There were many boat races on the river with men on greasy poles falling into the water.
Another highlight of the year was the annual charabanc trip to Weston- super-Mare with the Baptist chapel and the other churches.
At weekends, while helping my father on his allotment, I would buy a penny-worth of yellow sherbet, put it into two bottles of water and make lemonade to enjoy while we gardened.
There were plenty of horses in Pill in the 1920s and I would go around the streets with a hand barrow collecting manure for the garden.
I would also sometimes call into the slaughterhouse at Back Lane for two buckets of blood for the allotment.
By the time I got there it had often congealed, like jelly, but it was good fertiliser.
I recall getting told off by my father one day.
I had poured the blood onto the garden in a lump and, as it congealed, the crows had eaten it.
I should have waited for him to dilute it in the rain-water barrel.
Sometimes a boatman would take us, when the tide went out, to the mouth of the river where we would scrape the sand for coal to take home for the fire.
We would usually get one bucket-full, which we thought was wonderful.
When we had finished the rising tide would lift the boat off the sand and we would float back up to Pill.
Good pickings could also be had up river, at the Horseshoe Bend.
But as we had to row against the tide to get there and back again, we didn't go there so often.
In the posh part of Pill, Monmouth Road, was a house with a wireless set and we would creep under the front wall and wait to hear the music being played.
We were soon chased away by the owner, who would call us urchins.
In about 1932 Pump Square, where we lived, was demolished and we moved into a brand new council House facing the river.
With electricity and proper sanitation, my mother thought it was absolutely wonderful.
We were surrounded by fields and it was good to have a large garden with a view of the ships going up and down the river.
We were able to grow our own produce and the whole family would walk down to the wharf to collect wood washed up by the tide for our fire.
During the season we would get up at about 5 am to go mushrooming in the fields.
Life was certainly getting a lot better.

LETTER: How can we let so few decide policy?
Michael LaBarbera, Newburgh
After reading concerns in your newspaper for the past few weeks about whether to display 31 crosses on the Evansville riverfront I was to believe there were a fair number of people who objected. In letters to the newspaper there has been an overwhelming agreement with the Board of Public Works to allow the crosses to be displayed for the two-week period beginning Aug. 4. Then in today's newspaper I read that Gavin Rose is arguing the case in Indianapolis for two Evansville residents. Have we come down to the point where two citizens can dictate the values of an entire city? I'm not saying their opinion doesn't matter, but lets get real.
