Bowling News USA - February 1, 2011 The Otago Family Loves Storm!
The Otago Family has been involved in the bowling scene for many years. Wendy bowled for over 20 years and Grant and Wendy met when she was working at Mt Gravatt Lanes in the 1990's. After the boys were born, they took a break from bowling until Wendy began working at Loganholme when it opened in 2004. The boys soon developed a love for the sport with their natural style. Grant only returned to league bowling in 2009 and hopes to compete in more tournaments in the future.
Grant and Wendy are now heavily involved with junior bowling through their positions with the South Queensland Junior Tenpin Bowling Association and President's Shield Team. Currently, they coach and manage the 2011 Queensland South Girls President Shield Team.

Any advice appreciated
I am specifically very keen to get my hands on the 8 LP Cake vinyl set. Only 900 being released and I really want this.

Try emailing or phoning a couple of the better independent record stores and see if they can help you.
I would try Piccadilly Records in Manchester and Resident in Brighton

Part of the rules regarding RSD is that you are not allowed to reserve or pre order anything. You also can't buy over the phone. You have to go to a shop and hope they got a copy of what ever you want. Last year I went to Sound It Out records in Stockton. They asked what people wanted, and tried to keep everyone happy, but there is no guarantee you will get it. I got lucky with what I wanted, but it the luck of the draw I guess. Some stuff had sold out before I got into the shop. ( 3 hour queue outside )
Its such a wank. 900 Cake box sets are being released only, most will go in the US. The chances of me being able to walk into a store in the Uk and get a set are non existent. So i either buy off eBay for a ridiculous price where the main beneficiary of RSD are the flippers or just forget it
You might get lucky after the day-shops are allowed to sell off leftovers on-line, this has helped me out before and avoided inflated Ebay opportunists.
I haven't looked, but is the Cake thing on the UK list? There are very often records released in individual countries only..the RSD list isn't universal.
Good luck!

The shops will have a list of what they have on the day which gets passed down the queue, so if they don't have what you want you can get your self off to the pub.
My local dealer tries to order enough stock for his regulars.I have not yet seen any pancake release on the list yet. What is the artist? .If it was on the list I would try to get you a copy, assuming its not going to break the bank.
Where do you even find a list of this years releases. I never bother to get too excited about it anyway. Queued last year in Belfast but only bought Durutti Column and The Glove. The glove is now reduced by a factor of 50% and conversely the Durutti Column is worth a fortune! I did sneak back a few weeks later and buy a second copy.
I still can't make my mind up about RSD....the prices on the day are silly and yet we shell out our hard earned.
Numbers 32:23..............................sniggers!
RSD UK (and everywhere else) has a page.
(Recordstoreday.com on March 20th,
http://new-vinyl.blogspot.co.uk/2014...il-19.html?m=1 for updates in the meantime.)
Individual shops on line.
They will be there soon if they aren't already.
I can take it or leave it most years.
Most days are Record Shop Days round here
There is a nice Durutti Column record again this year.

RRP in the US is $130, less than the cost of the Fashion Nugget vinyl alone on the used market.
Looks like this is getting released in the Uk according to the link posted by Voicethe....
Drop me a pm please, so we can discuss off line
Both the shops I mentioned in my post publish lists of what they will have just prior to RSD

Thanks Tel, thats good to know.

I am hoping for the darkness and genesis lps
Just looking at the list of shops taking part locally, I notice the Radha Krishna Temple in Soho Street are in on the action this year..

I may have to do that but wont pay daft prices but take a chance on the individual LP's getting a release after the RSD rort is over.
I share your sentiments and picked up on your sarcasm. Its grown into a wankfest for flippers.

The talents we had preview of showed 4 out of the 6 talent tiers had multiple good choices for both PvE and PvP. Now of course each class is going to have certain talent choices be less choice and more "cookie cutter," but the mage's, for now, is pretty solid in my opinion.

I can see, however, your issues with the hybrid classes (anything now a Mage, Hunter, Warlock, or Rogue) having a bit of a disadvantage when it comes to making choices for your chosen role. I see it but I don't agree with it. Okay, so your talent tiers have a single role in mind for each tier. Just because a retribution paladin has to pick from 3 healing talents doesn't mean that's a bad thing. Hybrids bring utility that pure DPS classes can't, and the talents in this case are designed to further that ability. One ret pally takes the single target bomb heal and another takes the AoE heal or a shield based on heals. Same with tanking. A tank that can bomb heal himself? AWESOME.

I understand people don't like change, and the saying "If it isn't broken, don't fix it," but as far as Blizzard is concerned it IS broken because it isn't doing what they want it to do. Did they find the most suitable fix? Maybe, maybe not, but until roll out of MoP, I think I will cut the smart people at Blizz some slack and see what they come up with. We have a LONG time until MoP and changes are the hallmark of every ex-pack so far.Fenixhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

I've been on the phone non-stop since I got home dealing with Apple, parents and RBC.
Apple's not sending me a new computer, but they are at least sending me a new battery. I guess it was worth the couple hours I spent on the phone with them, it saved me 0+tax.
And I've been trying to setup my direct investing account with RBC, which is taking pretty long. 8 days so far, but now I can finally trade and hopefully by Tuesday I'll have my 'preferred pricing' which makes buying/selling a bit cheaper (or the same price as all the other online trading companies).

Last week I shared how God's timing is not usually our timing and how we are finally moving close to our family again.
We are moving at a PERFECT time, however the biggest concern at first was that I just started a new, full time, fantastic job.
Our plan was that I would work full time until 8 or 9 months pregnant with our first child, and then I would be home full time, hopefully forever.
I have dreamed and longed for the day that I would stay at home full time.
I have explored MANY different ideas of working from home but none of them were viable enough for me to quit my full time job, especially one that I actually do love (I work at a Christian college) while trying to save for a home and pay off our student loans.
But with this move coming up, I am obviously losing my job. We are moving 6 hours away with no colleges in the area, let alone Christian colleges. My experience and knowledge lies in working at a college. I have worked at two different Christian colleges for nearly 4 years. So I began contemplating what possible job I could get. I assumed I would be searching for a job for months trying to get something…secretary somewhere maybe??
As we stressed about this and how I would find a job, my sweet husband approached me and told me that he doesn't want me working. I have made some money online and have planned to expand this and will be home once we have kids anyway (which will hopefully be soon), so very firmly and gently he said he does not want me working.
I battled this at first…But we NEED the money! And won't it feel like I'm wasting my time? If I can help contribute to our family and save for a house, shouldn't I?? And for the last 3 years of our marriage, that answer was YES. For us, me working the past 3 years has been the right answer.
But now? Now I am embarking on a new journey. Now I am finally launching a design business this summer. Now I am going to be able to do all those things I haven't had time for. Now I can fully embrace the role God designed me for and what delights my heart, being a full time homemaker.
I have always mentioned to my husband in passing that I would love to stay home full time before kids…but the answer has always been the same. We can't. We can't afford it yet.
But now? God has blessed my husband with a promotion. And God has blessed me with the ability to work from home.
The Lord is so good and we are excited for this next step in our marriage and our life. 2 months ago we could have never anticipated this coming up…but with a simple phone call…our world was turned upside down and the Lord is blessing us and making plans for us that we could never have imagined.
My heart is so full this week as I marvel at all that God has given to us. Praise be to HIM
The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; this is my God, and I will praise him, my father's God, and I will exalt him. ~ Exodus 15:2
Update: The Lord is so good! About two weeks after posting this article, we found out we were pregnant with our first baby!! A couple months later, we found out we were having twins! ALL in his perfect timing :)
That is so exciting Jami! I have only stayed at home since I had my son, but it is such a blessing to be home! Good luck with all your new adventures!!
Seems just like yesterday we were making this transition. Now, I'm working from home (running a business) and parenting a toddler. It's a fun journey you are about to embark on, my friend. I can't wait to see what God has in store!
So happy for you, Jami!! What an exciting time. Good luck with the next 2 weeks at your job and the move! Looking forward to seeing what the Lord teaches you through this transition :)
Congratulations on this new and exciting chapter. We made the transition almost 6 yrs ago because I felt God calling me to stay home with our son. On paper it should have never worked! But PRAISE THE LORD, He always provides all of our needs! Praying for God's richest blessings on you and your husband as you follow Him one step at a time.
How exciting to be beginning a new adventure! Thank you for linking up today!
Jami I am so encouraged by this post and CONGRATULATIONS! What a blessing. I love hearing how the Lord is leading you here, as your desire and plan (to work up until your first baby is due) is my plan as well. However, I cannot see it happening! My husband is getting into real estate and we are prayfully moving forward and hoping this is the way the Lord will provide for us so that I can stay at home full time. It was so exciting to read about your story and I am so excited FOR you and your family!
Nicole at Working Kansas Homemaker
Hi! i just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I am a stay-at-home wife as well, and we don't have any (living) children yet. It is rare to find someone else who doesn't have kids and is also staying home, so welcome to this very small group! It's wonderful and amazing, and you'll find out that you can contribute just as much to the family by staying home, too!
Sounds so much like me! Glad to hear such great news lately. :)
James, I am beyond excited for you in this new step:) This is a step of faith. But, God will provide. Commit your ways to Him and He will direct your steps.
My heart is full for you. How good is God. I am so glad that you get to do what makes you happy…you serve your household with your whole heart and love them because you know it honors the Lord. Reading your post gave me a renewed sense of just how blessed I am to be able to stay at home with my kids and take care of my household. In this day and age, it is not always possible for some mommies. Thank you for this.
How exciting! Can't wait to see what God has in store for you!
my husband just received and accepted a job offer that will allow me to stay at home! we're looking for a new place (as the job is a couple of states over) and he starts in two weeks!… I'm SO excited as it's been really tough working full-time in an office this past year when I really just wanted to be a stay at home wife (and hopefully sometime soon, a stay at home mom) :)
That is awesome! My husband and I are praying that he gets this job he recently applied for. We figured out that with daycare expenses and everything, it may just be better for me to stay at home. Then, I can also get my Masters degree completed sooner. I hope that we are blessed like you have been. If God wants this for us, I know we will be.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words about being a stay at home wife, really blessed my heart to read this post! It's my greatest desire to be a diligent stay at home wife and to quit my current fulltime job but unfortunately the young wives in our church are strongly encouraged to have fulltime jobs and also to have a successful career and I'm getting looked down on when I mention what it is really on my heart concerning this important topic. My lovely hubs supports me though, he's just amazing! Anyways, the Lord is with me and knows my deepest desires and puts people like you in my life who have the courage and boldness to write about being in God's perfect will for a wife and mother to be a good homemaker.
Hope it is all going well with your beautiful twins?
Thank you so much for that, totally made my day.
Sarah from New Zealand <3
I just found your blog, and absolutely love it! I became a house wife (or as I like to call it "domestic engineer) almost 2 years ago, and it was the best decision we ever made. Sure we don't have as much money, but my husband and I are healthier and happier then ever before. I love the feeling of being able to support my husband on the home front so that he can focus 100% on providing for our family. No kids yet, but hoping to start trying in the near future. God definitely has met all of our needs!

Well, I was thinking about just not writing anything for this game but then the Bird went and recommended people read my thoughts, so I feel all obligated to provide some.
Disclaimer: I watched this game on near-mute with some friends hanging around after a kids Halloween party, so it didn't have my full attention. From what I saw, it didn't have the Wings' full attention, either.
I'll start with the game-winner... Kyle Quincey pinching and getting burned is the kind of thing we've come to expect from him. It's stupid for many reasons and his inability to get back to make up for it just adds to it. That said, it would have been harmless had Danny DeKeyser not come across the ice to cover for him. DeKeyser plays that as a normal two-on-one and just cuts off the pass? Twelve seconds later it's a shootout.
I hate it when defensemen don't play the two-on-one properly but I hate it when Kyle Quincey makes rookie mistakes, too. Just an ugly play all around. And the stupidest thing is that if Quincey had done what he usually would do and hauled down Pouliot, it's a Rangers power play for 15 seconds and we probably go to a shootout.
So that goal wastes a fantastic effort by Jimmy Howard. Howard stops 37 of 40, including some great stops in the second when the team was under siege. He is not the problem with this team.
Allowing 40 shots and getting only two goals against a team that is at the end of an epic road trip, missing several key players, and starting a backup rookie goalie... Well, that sounds more like the Red Wings than I'd like. This is a team that has a history of making backup goalies look good. Cam Talbot made 32 stops on 34 shots and that's a pretty good night for the kid getting his first win. Was he actually that good? Bird seems to think so but I didn't see the Wings making him work for it. Specifically, I didn't see a lot of lateral movement required of him. Even the awesome passing play in the third from Zetterberg to Datsyuk to Alfredsson for a chance only led to a shot by Alfredsson from an angle Talbot was already squared to.
As much as I love the Z-Pavs-Alfie line, I don't get the idea of firing up the line blender before the game and then doing it again for the third period. There wasn't an injury announcement, so why exactly was Bertuzzi benched for most of the third (supposedly necessitating the line juggling)? It's not like he was the worst player on the ice at any point of the night. How did he get singled out?
I don't know. I'm not freaking out about the state of the team yet but I'm really disappointed. It feels like the players are just not playing smart, the coaches don't know what to do about it, and management has put the team in a position where change can't be made (as there's no cap space). These are the players we're going to see this year, they're the ones that are going to have to turn it around. We'll see if they can.

New Mexico dairy farm workers face dangerous workplace conditions and fears of retaliation; Chicago passes minimum wage increase; worker dies at Staten Island car dealership; and Philadelphia task force supports paid sick leave.
Wouldn't it be something if the President's annual pardoning of a turkey be replaced with an annual Thanksgiving recognition of workers along the food chain?
At this point, it's pretty clear that soda is bad for your health. But a new study has found that it may be even worse than we thought.
Too bad Murray's Chicken doesn't care as much about working conditions for its employees, as it does about the living conditions for its birds.
"Yes, you can use my name because it doesn't matter. They have already done everything they can do to me." Those are words from Eliceo, a former dairy farm worker in upstate New York. Earlier this year, Eliceo, 36, decided to speak up and share his story with local advocates who are tirelessly working to improve conditions on New York dairy farms and end persistent reports of workplace safety violations, preventable work-related injuries, wage theft, exploitation and in some cases, worker deaths.
Compliments to the chef: Partnerships between school food staff, professional chefs lead to healthier eating
Building excitement around school meals with the help of guest chefs and fresh recipes could be a significant boon for school lunch programs as well as student eating habits, a new study found.
Final USDA poultry rule: Line speeds stay the same, but no word from OSHA; food safety advocates call it a step backwards
For 17 years, Salvadora Roman deboned chickens on the processing line at Wayne Farms in Decatur, Alabama. Because of the repetitive movement and speed of the processing line, Roman developed a chronic and painful hand injury that affects her ability to do even the most basic household chores. About three years ago, she was fired from the plant for taking time off work to visit a doctor for the injury she sustained on the line.
Studies: Students initially complained about healthier school food, but now it's like totally not a big deal
Nearly two years ago, American schoolchildren began sitting down to healthier school lunches, thanks to new federal nutrition guidelines. Media reports of the nutrition upgrade weren't terribly encouraging, with stories of unhappy kids, unhappy parents and politicians who think addressing childhood obesity is an example of the "nanny state." However, recent research has found what most parents probably already know: Kids are pretty adaptable — they just need some time.
Five million dollars. That's how much the fast food industry spends every day to peddle largely unhealthy foods to children. And because studies have found that exposure to food marketing does indeed make kids want to eat more, advertising is often tapped as an obvious way to address child obesity. Fortunately, a new study finds that the public agrees.

Modern Makeovers
Modern style is back and going strong. While called modern, the style got its start in the 30's and, at first glance, it probably looks old-fashioned.
Modern is a term that can fit any time period; it really is what you make of it. The key is a clean, uncluttered space with functionality and room for personality. This is an ideal style for apartment and city living. It's also easy on the budget.
Much like contemporary style, modern style uses clean lines and includes strong geometric shapes and asymmetrical elements. Use polished surfaces with granite and metals in kitchens and concrete, linoleum and wood for floorings. Keep colors neutral with tone-on-tone color schemes. Walls should be white, unless you want to make a focal point of one wall in a room, which can be a nice, bold, lacquered color.
Focus on angular and geometric shapes. Artwork and accessories are important, exhibiting striking forms to make a bold statement. With that in mind, set a focal point to each room, drawing the eye to that piece or area. To do this, keep the surrounding décor small and simple, accenting the main focal point. Plants can make great focal points as well as one particular piece of artwork or piece of furniture. For example, think triangles. Often framed photos are scattered on walls, mostly haphazardly. With modern style, you can take those photos and place them in a triangle. Anyone entering the room will be drawn to the photos, not even realizing that they are arranged in a triangular shape. You can cluster other things into shapes as well, small items like art, accessories on a table or display pieces on a book shelf. The eye will follow.
A modern-style house generally has expansive windows to bring the outdoors indoors. To keep that effect, keep the windows unadorned. Try using window treatments that expose the top half of your window to the outside, like bottom-up pleated shades or blinds. Consult a good decorator for help with measuring, ordering and installing of these treatments; it is worth the cost.
With furniture, look for pieces that are simple; simple in color like aqua or magenta, but not loud. Modern furniture pieces have a boxy design with tight corners and few cushions. Keep the pieces small, enough to fit a few people, but not large like a sectional might be. Less is better in this case.
Try combining smooth surfaces – wood or linoleum floors over carpets; metal and glass tables over carved styles; or metal cabinets and granite counter tops over wood molded. Browse through the remodeling pictures for the endless possibilities.

"Following this, they provided half of the people with information about the factual 97% scientific consensus on climate change."
It's actually about 80-85%. (If you think science is decided by voting, that is.)
For example, Doran and Zimmerman 2009 asked 10257 Earth scientists for their opinion on two questions: "1. When compared with pre-1800s levels, do you think that mean global temperatures have generally risen, fallen, or remained relatively constant?" and "2. Do you think human activity is a significant contributing factor in changing mean global temperatures?" and got 3146 replies. They report "Results show that overall, 90% of participants answered "risen" to question 1 and 82% answered yes to question 2."
They then go on to consider a smaller subset of 79 participants who publish a lot in climate science of who 75 answered 'yes' to question 2, (3 answered 'no' and 2 were not asked because they had answered 'not risen' to the first question.) That's 95%.
Thus, the correct statement is: "The percentage of scientists who get more than half of their papers published in climate science and who think global temperatures have risen who also think human activities are "a significant contributing factor" is 97%. (Give or take about 5% due to the small sample size)"
Bray and von Storch got a similar result, and other surveys of scientists and meteorologists have sometimes got even lower results.
It's also worth noting that a majority of sceptics think that man is "a significant contributing factor". That's not what the argument is about.
If Lewandowsky can't even get something simple to measure like the opinions of scientists right, why should anyone believe him on anything else?

Gym memberships are typically the last thing to go in a tough economy but the never-ending recession has created tough times even for fitness chains. That's why fitness centers and gyms are cutting rates to get their business back into gear.
According to the International Health, Racquet and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA), fitness chains on average sign about 12 percent of their new members for the year in January by cashing in on one of the most common New Year's resolutions: to lose weight and get healthy.

Mitt Romney Visits His First "Wawa's" [VIDEO]
During his "Every Town Counts" bus tour, Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney got to an experience an area favorite, while not quite grasping the name.
As the bus went through Pennsylvania over the weekend, Romney had schedule a visit to a Quakertown Wawa. However, a delegation of Democrats, including former PA Governor Ed Rendell, planned to crash that party.
The bus detoured, and stopped at a second Wawa in Quakertown. Romney took a quick tour of the store, where he shook hands and ordered a sub…or hoagie.
The audible of plans forced some changes to the day's plan. The former Mass. Governor had planned to offer some remarks from the first Wawa, but instead headed back out on the bus.
During a speech in Cornwall that same day, Romney recounted his trip to Wawa, but messed up an important detail.
"Where do you get your hoagies here?" he asked the crowd, "Do you get them at Wawa's, is that where you get them? No? Do you get them at Sheetz?"
The latter comment was playing up the feud between the two popular hoagie/sub shops in Pennsylvania.
Romney kept going, "Well, I went to a place today called Wawa's, you ever been to Wawa's, anyone ever been there?"
The crowd gave a mixed reaction, as Romney continued to wax poetic about "Wawa's."
"I went to Wawa's. I wanted to order a sandwich. You press a little touch-tone keypad," he explained, "You just touch that and the sandwich comes at you. Touch this. Touch this. Touch this. Go pay the cashier. There's your sandwich! It's amazing."
The video below recaps some of the visit of the Republican nominee to his new favorite hoagie place.

One of the major goals of our Alumnae Association is outreach to both our alumnae and to Russell Sage College students. Over the years, the Association Board has organized this work in different ways. For the last few years, we have combined our efforts into one Outreach Committee, knowing that any successes we have with current students will be rewarded many times over as they become alumnae, and further believing—from experience—that many alumnae are interested in and care about the young women who are students at Russell Sage today.
The Outreach Committee of the Association Board is led by Tonia Blackwell '79; working closely with Toni are: Rachel Diness-Tourtellott '92, Jeanne Cloutier Markin '80, and Yolanda Rucker Morris '97. The 2005-2006 year has been particularly active for this Committee. In addition to continuing traditions that the Association began several years ago—such as providing small treats for RSC students at exam time and encouraging regional alumnae groups to have events for incoming students before they leave for Sage each fall—the Outreach Committee has been working with the Student Development staff to ensure that students of color—and alumnae of color—know they are welcome, respected and critical members of our Russell Sage community.
Last year, we had a get-together at Slingerland Alumnae House for students of color and some alumnae guests. This past February, during the weekend of our Board meetings and in honor of Black History Month, we sponsored a dinner for African-American and Hispanic students and alumnae guests, followed by a special evening of wonderful gospel music, organized by the students and the Student Development staff. This was a first, and we hope the start of another new tradition. Particularly rewarding for me this year, was the recognition given to both Toni Blackwell and Yolanda Morris, by the students and the Student Development staff, for their many years of work—as students, staff, and alumnae volunteers—to strengthen diversity and understanding in the life of Russell Sage College students and alumnae. The Alumnae Association sponsored a dinner for students and their alumnae guests prior to the concert.
Our Outreach work incorporates other traditions binding students and alumnae together. For example, a "pre-Rally" party held at Alumnae House, followed by a supportive showing of alumnae at Rally Day events, and the Alumnae Association-sponsored reception for the Senior Class at Alumnae House, prior to the annual Senior Class Dinner. And, I don't want to forget that we work with the Senior Class to assist in their selection of an alumna speaker for the annual Cap & Gown Convocation.
Alumnae outreach continues beyond the student years, of course. Our Committee works closely with Alumnae Relations staff to advise and assist with regional alumnae events, whenever possible. Our guiding principle is that all alumnae events, no matter what their purpose or venue, should somehow have a Russell Sage content or character. Both staff and Board volunteers are happy to talk to alumnae who want to plan an event for your area, to help ensure its success.
Naturally, our major outreach event of every year is Reunion. Reunion 2006 promises to be one of the best ever and I hope everyone from the "1s" and "6s" is planning to join us on campus June 2-4 to celebrate. Having experienced reunion events at several other colleges over the years, I have to tell you how very lucky I feel to be a Russell
Sage alumna. Our Reunion is always special; the warmth, the excitement, the fun we all have is not outdone by anyone, anywhere.
In closing I ask two things of you. Refer a bright young woman to Russell Sage, so she can benefit from the kind of excellent education you received. Make a generous gift to the Sage Fund for Excellence in Education. Your participation is important to our students. Your example will inspire them and ensure that our Russell Sage traditions
continue strong into the future.

Tonight was my first "real" squat workout in two months. The team was gracious enough to do band squats with me. I thought that band squats would be a good exercise for my first heavy squat workout after knee rehab for two reasons. One, the tension in the hole is minimal, this way I can work on getting my "pop" back and second, the constant pressure from the bands help stabilize the weight throughout the lift, this way all I had to worry about was pushing the weight.
Here's the workout and video:
Band Squats
Bar x 5 reps
Bar + 150 lbs. bands x 5 reps
Bar + 250 lbs. bands x 5 reps
150 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 3 reps
200 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 3 reps
240 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 3 reps
290 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 3 reps
330 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 3 reps – Start knee wraps
380 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 1 reps
420 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 1 reps
470 lbs. + 250 lbs. bands x 1 reps
Leg Curls
90 lbs. x 10
100 lbs. x 10
120 lbs. x 10 x 2 sets
Leg Extensions
120 lbs. x 10 reps.
After the workout I was surprised at myself. We didn't know how much band tension we had on until the workout was over. We had our lightest member stand on a scale and hold the bands to the tension so we could get a measurement.
With over 700 lbs. of weight and tension at the top, I was surprised. I have set a goal for myself to squat 800 lbs. at the Europa, APF Single-Ply Nationals, in April. It will be my come back meet since my surgery. By tonight's performance I think I might have to set a higher goal.
One more thing before I finish this blog. Yes, Mom, and yes Honey, I am being careful. If it looks like I'm not doing it right, the guys are telling me and I'm stopping.

Young Nonprofit Professional of the Year
Dear Super Girl:
This year has started off really cool! It's still January and already I've been selected as a finalist for the YNPN Phoenix Young Nonprofit Professional of the Year award.
This is a really fun recognition. It's very humbling too. I'm honored to know people in the community have noticed the work we do for girls in the world.
I like to let awards like this one sink into the foundation of Severson Sisters and into me as the leader of it. As I go through all my memories of the last two years of Severson Sisters, I've learned how to hold loving, strong gratitude for all of it.
I say this often, but I am so grateful to our supporters and our Super Girls. It's because of the girls we've worked with that bring opportunities like this one forward.
While I'm grateful for the nomination itself, I'm more grateful we've had the opportunity to work with so many girls within our two year journey. I believe as long as I continue to remember the essence of what I do is to better the lives of Super Girls around the world, Severson Sisters will continue to receive success, abundance and support.
I look forward to bettering even more Super Girls moving further in 2013.
Thank you for the recognition. I am humbled and totally honored.
Sending you all my very best Super Girl energy for a very special day!

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) - As we hit October, you may be seeing more pink around as part of Breast Cancer Awareness month.
The Susan G. Komen Foundation estimates more than 230,000 new cases of breast cancer will be found this year. Nearly 40,000 may find it too late.
Doctors suggest no matter what time of year, a mammogram is highly recommended.
"Some of them are fearful because it can be somewhat uncomfortable because the breast is in compression for the examination. However, mammograms save lives and it's better to go through a few minutes of discomfort to make a diagnoses that can save your life," says Dr. Brian Wallace.
Doctors also suggest a clinical breast exam at least once a year. Although rare, breast cancer can be found in men. As of now there is no screening recommendation. If something feels out of the ordinary you are suggested to call a doctor.

If, like many midlife women, you're growing wiser but also wider, you can blame it all on estrogen (as usual). With estrogen levels in decline, your body becomes much more likely to store extra fat around the middle. Unfortunately, big waists endanger more than your ability to look fabulous in jeans.
"Belly fat becomes a serious issue at midlife—it increases heart disease risk by raising blood pressure, blood sugar, triglycerides and inflammation," says Nieca Goldberg, MD, director of New York University's Women's Heart Center and author of Dr. Nieca Goldberg's Complete Guide to Women's Health.
But the latest research suggests that a smaller waistline could be as close as your local supermarket. "Evidence is mounting that certain foods and nutrients can affect how body weight is distributed," says Christine Gerbstadt, MD, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. For reasons that are not completely clear, certain kinds of proteins, fats, vitamins and antioxidants appear to fend off belly fat. Below, five game-changing foods to add to your shopping list.
1. Hot Tomatoes! Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables can help slim your middle. Research published in the Journal of Nutrition showed that people who ate higher amounts of carotenoids, betacarotene, alphacarotene and lycopene had smaller waists as well as less visceral and subcutaneous fat. Tomatoes contain all of these antioxidants, and they become particularly potent when cooked: Heating tomatoes spikes lycopene content and makes it easier for the body to absorb the nutrient, according to a study led by Rui Hai Liu, MD, associate professor of food science at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York. Fresh produce has long been favored over processed because certain components, like vitamin C, break down when cooked. "The research dispels the popular notion that processed fruits and vegetables have lower nutritional value than fresh produce," Liu has said.
Use it: Toss fresh cherry tomatoes with herb-infused olive oil and roast, or grill beefsteak tomatoes and make ALT's (avocado, lettuce, tomato) on whole grain bread. "To assure optimal flavor, texture, and nutritional value when buying fresh tomatoes, select those that have never been refrigerated and wait until they're fully-ripe before cooking them," says Jackie Newgent, RD, author of Big Green Cookbook. For a healthy balance, aim for three cups of veggies per day and include tomatoes about three times a week. And seek out organically grown if you can. Compared to conventional, they've been found to pack nearly 100 percent more antioxidants and rate higher for flavor, texture and juiciness.
2. Supercharged Mushrooms Mushrooms are the only plant-based food that naturally contains vitamin D. But what is now sending their "sunshine vitamin" quotient into the stratosphere is a new and unique kind of processing: Once harvested, Sun-Bella mushrooms are exposed to ultraviolet light. The net result is that a three-ounce serving of this new but widely available brand supplies 100 percent of your daily value of D. Why does this matter? Preliminary evidence from the University of Minnesota suggests that if you don't have enough D in your bloodstream, it may be more difficult to lose weight, especially fat. Plus, insufficient levels of D have been linked with obesity and abdominal fat, notes Dave Grotto, RD, author of Optimal Life Foods.

LOS ANGELES - The UCLA men's and women's basketball programs will join forces with UCLA basketball alumnus John Vallely, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) and the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA Cancer Research Program and Division of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology for the sixth annual "Dribble for the Cure" on Sunday, Oct. 20.
An event that raises funds and awareness in the fight against pediatric cancers, Dribble for the Cure established a record in 2012 with net revenue of $155,395.74. Two years ago (2011), the fourth annual Dribble for the Cure brought in over 900 participants (donating over $115,000) dribbling a basketball across the UCLA campus to raise money to combat children's cancers.
The event has grown each year with a five-year event total of over 3,500 participants contributing over half-a-million dollars ($531,395.74). Proceeds will help sustain the research to benefit children's cancer treatment at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA.
"The patients, families, physicians and the care givers in the Pediatric Cancer Research Program at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA are once again looking forward to working together with the UCLA basketball teams and coaches Cori Close and Steve Alford, as well as John Vallely and the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation to raise awareness in the fight to cure childhood cancer," said Dr. Theodore B. Moore, Chief of Pediatric Hematology/Oncology at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA. "The growing success of the 'Dribble for the Cure' event makes a tremendous impact on the lives of our patients and their families by providing access to clinical trials and the development of new strategies to find cures for cancer. We are anticipating another successful event this year and we are grateful for the support of the many individuals who plan to join us at the sixth-annual 'Dribble for the Cure'."
This year's event will begin with registration at 8:30 a.m. at UCLA's Drake Stadium where activity booths and entertainment will highlight a Welcome Ceremony at 10 a.m. At 10:15 a.m., 'Dribble for the Cure VI' will begin and each participant will bring their own basketball (or buy a basketball on site) for the 1.2 mile dribble course through UCLA's campus. Finish Line Festivities (11:15 a.m.) will take place in Collins Court at the John R. Wooden Center. In Collins Court, participants will have the opportunity to meet for autographs and pictures with the UCLA women's and men's basketball teams, along with student-athletes from other Bruin athletic squads.
Team (a minimum of 10) and individual participants will be asked to collect pledges for their 'Dribble' and will become eligible for prizes based on pledge amounts turned in by Oct. 20. Each participant will receive a 'Dribble for the Cure' t-shirt and goodie bag.
For first-year UCLA men's basketball head coach Steve Alford, this will be his first 'Dribble for the Cure.'
"I'm very much looking forward to participating with our team in this wonderful event," he said. "It is a privilege and honor for our staff and squad to be working with UCLA Athletics Hall of Famer John Vallely in his continued quest to find a cure for children's cancer. Last year's event set a donation record so our goal this year is to set a new donation record to help benefit the Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA and the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation."
Bruin women's basketball head coach Cori Close will be participating in her third consecutive 'Dribble for the Cure.'
"It is an honor to partner with Mattel Children's Hospital, the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and John Vallely in their quest to defeat cancer," she said. "This is a great event for UCLA and the surrounding community and the team, and I look forward to it every year. It's a great chance to interact with doctors, patients, friends and families of those afflicted with cancer and to have a good time while we raise money for research which is desperately needed. We are looking forward to a great turnout and a record amount of money being raised this year."
For many years, John Vallely and his family have been on the front line in the battle against cancer. A Bruin starting guard on head coach John Wooden's 1969 and 1970 UCLA NCAA Championship men's basketball teams and a 2006 inductee into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame, Vallely is a two-time cancer survivor and for over 20 years, a member of the PCRF Board of Directors. In 1991, John and Karen Vallely lost their daughter Erin to cancer at the age of 12.
"I am so excited for this year's UCLA 'Dribble for the Cure'," Vallely said. "The event will be quite entertaining as we greet new Bruin men's basketball head coach Steve Alford, have the continuing and enthusiastic support of UCLA women's basketball head coach Cori Close and the support of the administration and all the student-athletes in the Bruin Athletics Department.
"Every day that you and I raise money for children's cancer research is a day we are changing people's lives. My heart still yearns for the day when pediatric cancer is eliminated. Thanks again for all your help and I look forward to seeing you, your family and your team at our 'Dribble for the Cure' on Oct. 20 at UCLA."
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF), celebrating its 31st anniversary, is an independent, non-profit organization, wholly dedicated to supporting the highest quality pediatric cancer research. Established in 1982, its founders – parents, doctors, friends and community leaders had a common vision, "To bring hope and lifesaving treatments to children battling cancer and to improve the care, quality of life and survival rate of children with malignant diseases."
Since 1982 PCRF has raised over $30 million in support of laboratory research that translates into immediate treatment for children with cancer. More information is available at www.PCRF-kids.org. This year's 'Dribble for the Cure' is expanding on a national scale, as St. John's University hosts its third-annual event on Sept. 28.
Major sponsors for this year's event at UCLA include Polly's Pies Restaurant, BJ's Restaurant Foundation, MIG Capital LLC, Senior Aerospace Ketema, Shulman Hodges & Bastian LLP and Smart & Final Charitable Foundation. Polly's Pies Restaurant is owned by Eddie Sheldrake, who was a UCLA guard/forward on Coach Wooden's first three UCLA basketball teams (1949-51) and in 2000 was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame.

The Sun Devil men's hoops team, averaging 77.2 points in its 13-4 start, heads about 100 miles on I-10 East to take on the top-ranked Arizona Wildcats on Thursday, Jan. 16, at 7 p.m. MT with Gus Johnson and Bill Raftery on the call for FOX Sports 1. ASU split a pair in Los Angeles last weekend, defeating USC 79-60 on Jan. 9 and then losing to UCLA 87-72 on Jan. 12. One peek at the Sun Devil schedule shows tons of big opportunities, as ASU has 14 conference games left with RPI heavy teams Arizona (6), Colorado (12), Oregon (22) and California (34). The Sun Devils are the only Pac-12 school with those four on their schedule twice, and no one else even has UA, UO and CU twice.
--ASU is 3-1 on the road this year, and Jahii Carson is averaging 21.3 points in 15 career road games.
--As of close of business Tuesday, Jordan Bachynski's NCAA-best 78 blocks was more than 274 Division I teams and 10 more than current silver medal blocks guy Michale Kyser of Louisiana Tech.
ASU will have an opportunity to play the top-ranked team in the nation for the ninth time overall on Thursday. ASU is 1-7, with the win coming in Corvallis on March 7, 1981, in probably the greatest win in Sun Devil history. ASU, coached by 2003 Pac-10 Hall of Honor inductee Ned Wulk, travelled to Corvallis and led 40-20 at the half against top-ranked and undefeated Oregon State and won 87-67 on the final day of the regular season. All five ASU starters (Sam Williams, Paul Williams, Alton Lister, Byron Scott and Fat Lever) in that game were future NBA first- or second-round draft picks. A look at ASU vs. No. 1, and note that all the games were on the road but one:
#1 Arizona 92, Arizona State 72 in Tempe (Feb. 22 2003)
#1 Arizona 71, Arizona State 63 in Tucson (Jan. 22, 2003)
#1 Stanford 99, Arizona State 75 in Palo Alto, Calif. (Mar. 8, 2001)
#1 Stanford 86, Arizona State 67 in Palo Alto, Calif. (Jan. 6, 2000)
#1 Arizona 99, Arizona State 59 in Tucson (Jan. 28, 1988)
#5 Arizona State 87, #1 Oregon State 67 in Corvallis (Mar. 7, 1981)
#1 UCLA 89, #7 Arizona State 75 in Portland (Mar. 22, 1975)
#1 UCLA 98, #16 Arizona State 81 at Los Angeles/NCAA West Regional (Mar. 15, 1973)
Coach Sendek has two wins vs. the No. 1 team in his 21-year coaching career. His NC State squad beat Duke 78-74 on Feb. 15, 2004, while NC State also won at North Carolina on Feb. 21, 1998.
NC State 81, #3 Wake Forest 65 (March 11, 2005/ACC Tournament)
NC State 78, #1 Duke 74 (Feb. 15, 2004)
NC State 80, #3 Duke 71 (Jan. 22, 2003)
NC State 86, #2 Maryland 82 (Mar. 9, 2002/ACC Tournament)
NC State 81, @#4 Virginia 74 (Jan. 5, 2002)
NC State 86, @#1 North Carolina 71 (Feb. 21, 1998)
NC State 60, #4 Wake Forest 59, OT (Feb. 17, 1997)
Jordan Bachynski needs just 19 blocks to tie the Pac-12 career record of 278 held by Arizona's Anthony Cook from 1985-89.
1. 278 – Anthony Cook (Arizona), '85-89
2. 259 – Jordan Bachynski (Arizona State), '10-present
Coach Sendek is 7-8 vs. the Wildcats, including a 3-4 mark in Tucson and 3-4 in Tempe...UA has won 30 of the past 38, ASU has won seven of the past 13...ASU swept UA in the regular season for the second straight time in 2008-09 and then topped the Wildcats in the Pac-10 Tournament for a five-game win streak for the first time since a nine-game streak from 1979-83 prior to the 77-58 loss in Tempe on Jan. 23, 2010...prior to the five-game Sun Devil streak, UA had won 24 of 25 over the Sun Devils, with two 12-game Wildcat win streaks sandwiched around a Jan. 23, 2002, Sun Devil win in Tempe...in its seven wins over UA under Herb Sendek ASU has trailed at the half in five of the games...ASU had won three straight in Tucson prior to an 80-69 defeat on Jan. 15, 2011...ASU won four games over Arizona in Tempe in a 21-year period (4-17 from 1986-87 through 2006-07). It has won three in the series in Tempe in the past five years...UA leads the series 144-80.
Games in opposing arenas have been a good thing for Jahii Carson, who has averaged 21.3 points in 15 true road games. His top four scoring games are all away from Tempe and he has averaged 21.0 points in 20 road/neutral games. Last year he averaged 20.8 points in 38.4 minutes, shot .514 (75-of-146) from the floor and had six 20-point games in nine Pac-12 road tilts.
40 at UNLV (11/19/13)
34 vs. Stanford at Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas (3/13/13)
32 at Washington (2/2/13)
30 vs. #14 Creighton in Las Vegas (11/24/12)
Senior transfer Shaquielle McKissic has one year to play and is making the most of it in an efficient manner. In the past seven games, he is averaging 12.3 points and six rebounds while shooting .552 from the field (32-of-58). In those tilts he is 27-of-37 (.729) from the free throw line and has 18 assists and just six turnovers. On the year he has 36 assists and just seven turnovers and leads the team with 23 steals.
Heading into Pac-12 play this week, 20 league players have taken at least 62 three-pointers. Jermaine Marshall's .460 (46-of-100) shooting is the best by any of them. Marshall also ranks tied for sixth in the league in three-point percentage, but none of the top five have taken more than 60 three pointers.
1. 323, Stevin Smith, '90-94
2. 280, Rihards Kuksiks, '07-11
3. 273, Ty Abbott, '07-11
4. 263, Ron Riley, '92-96
5. 250, Eddie House, '96-2000

In this long-awaited survey history, William Link examines the fascinating history of North Carolina through the lens of strong but seemingly contradicto-ry historical patterns: powerful forces of traditional-ism punctuated by hierarchies of class, race relations, and gender that seemingly clashed, especially during the last century, with potent forces of modernisation and a "progressive" element that welcomed, even embraced, change. The result answers meaningful questions that all Tar Heels ask about the history and the future of the unique and quickly growing state they call home. Taking the North Carolina story from moments before first contact all the way to the elections of 2008, this book provides a great new resource for all college-level instructors and students of North Carolina history.

The 7-month-old was alarmingly still when the officer took the baby from the terrified mom. What the officer did next saved the choking child's life and earned him the title of hero, officials in Dalton said Wednesday.
Officer Michael Houck was wrapping up his work at the scene of a minor crash in Dalton on Monday when a resident of a nearby neighborhood on Foster Street ran up to him and frantically began speaking to Houck, according to Dalton police. But the puzzled officer didn't understand Spanish.
Then one of the drivers involved in the crash came forward and translated for the officer.
"'A baby was choking,'" the driver told him, according to police.
Houck and the driver ran with the neighbor to 1107 Foster St., about half a block away from the crash, police said. Houck arrived to find the child's mother in the front yard with the baby in her arms, they said.
Without hesitation, the woman handed over the 7-month-old to Houck, who discovered that the child was not crying — or breathing, police said. Houck, like all the officers in his department, was trained and re-certified every other year in CPR and life-saving techniques, police said.
He turned the baby over and began to apply back thrusts until the baby coughed up a small piece of a carrot, police said.
The baby immediately began to cry and gasp for air, they said.
With the driver's help, Houck spoke to the baby's mother and was able to determine that the baby had pulled a sheet of jalapeno peppers over onto himself and the peppers irritated his skin and caused swelling, police said. Officer Houck and the baby's mother were flushing the child's skin with water when emergency medical personnel arrived, police said. The EMS crew examiner the child and determined that the baby was OK, police said.
They have not released the name of the mother or her child.

Happy 90th Birthday to the Master, Fred Beckey
By Fred Beckey
We live on an astounding planet, punctuated by mountains on every continent. The mere presence of mountain ranges has long drawn the human imagination as an invisible force. Some say mountains have a "psychic gravity" enticing us into their grip. There is a magic among great peaks as a location of splendor, where changing light plays games with intense colors, affecting the tones of snow and ice and many gleaming ridge outlines.
Editor's note: In honor of Fred's milestone birthday, we're pleased to share the foreword from his most recent book, Fred Beckey's 100 Favorite North American Climbs. Happy Birthday Fred, from all of us at Patagonia. Photo: Jim Stuart
Mountain peaks have long filled humanity with a sense of the supernatural, and in ancient times were holy places, and in some cultures were considered sacred – the abode of the great spirit. In Asia, millions of the devout regard the Himalaya as the dwelling place of gods and a pathway to the heavens. Certainly the potentially dangerous nature of such mountains has tightened their grip on the human imagination.
Climbing teaches us persistence and courage, while building confidence. When an ascent has gone well, it can bring an intense feeling of satisfaction, but a precarious ascent can bring fear. We may need to make meaningful decisions rapidly and a commitment to continue or descend. Strategy may be more important than strength, endurance, or quickness. The addition of risk brings out a special alertness – one similar to hunting a dangerous beast. As David Roberts has pointed out in The Mountain of My Fear, without risk, climbing would be just another game.
[A storm at high camp on Mt. Seattle when winds threatened to blow the tents off a narrow ridge. Alaska. First Ascent: Fred Beckey, Don Liska, Jim Stuart, Art Davidson, Herb Staley, and Eric Bjørnstad in May 1966. Photo: Fred Beckey]
Climbing is never wholly predictable, and from this uncertainty a richness may arise. It is important not to diminish the spirit of climbing and eliminate all risk. To reduce all commitment lessens the spirit and engagement of the adventure.
The British climber Al Alvarez wrote about the pleasure of risk and how climbing brings out alertness. "When a climb has gone well, it is an intense sense of physical well-being," he wrote. "Climbing . . . is a paradoxical intellectual pastime. . . . Each pitch becomes a series of specific local problems. . . . Each move has to be worked out by a kind of physical strategy, in terms of effort, balance, and consequences."
To reduce the chance of an accident, competent climbers develop a balanced relationship with fear, an awareness of danger, and turn their mental energy into positive means to overcome problems. Both instinct and acquired judgment are developed from experience. One learns about choices, when to push limits, where to avoid stonefall, where to belay, and when to turn back.

While the Alps were long feared and considered to be the home of dragons, demons, and evil spirits, these negative thoughts diminished when English gentlemen became alpine tourists in the mid-18th century. In 1786, Mont Blanc was climbed, and soon after, men of distinction stirred a dismissal of fear and dislike of high peaks. A passion for climbing certainly influenced Edward Whymper, who became enamored with the Swiss Alps in 1860, and five years later led his party up the Matterhorn.
Another Briton, James Outram, later came under the spell of the Canadian Rockies. He exulted, "There is a wonderful fascination about mountains. Their massive grandeur . . . splendour of striking outline" when giving reasons to scale the heights. Many have attempted to explain this vexing question – one that defies rational explanation – and so George Mallory's reply, "Because they are there" became a cliché for the public. The simple joys and thrills of climbing, and its risks and commitments, were given an explanation by Guido Rey in Peaks & Precipices: Scrambles in the Dolomites & Savoy published in 1914.
"This was my first climb of the year, and as I was experiencing again in all its perfection the joy of alpine life, a joy unparalleled, pervading body and soul, different from all other human joys, compounded of countless almost indefinable sensations – sensations begotten of changing scenes, the lightness of the air, the solitude which is about us and the peace which is within us; of the sense of height, the expectation of danger, the thrill of freedom...."
Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, the craggy peaks of two mountain ranges were often visible, and their impressive outlines caught my interest. At a youthful age I became fascinated by landscapes, and also learned to finesse the conflicting demands of wild nature for a certain freedom from convention, as embodied in conservative parents and their friends. As a Boy Scout in Seattle I participated in forest and mountain hikes, where I became enamored with the wilderness. Here I found an addiction, camaraderie, scenic rewards, and a great outlet for energy.
My epiphany was the ascent, with a Boy Scout troop, of Mt. Olympus in Washington, where I became more aware of the ceaseless interplay of earth-shaping forces and the techniques of ascending a shining, crevassed glacier. Another of my first wilderness experiences was an ascent of Mt. Triumph, an isolated rock horn in the North Cascades. While standing on the summit and surveying the surroundings with a sense of awe, I felt a kinship with the noble, almost unbelievable peaks and tumbling glaciers.

As I became consumed with mountaineering puzzles, I found an opportunity to make my own decisions that lasted far beyond the boundaries of team sports. I discovered that climbing required making meaningful decisions, practicing the facets of strategy, and a commitment difficult to equal in daily life. There was a freedom from constraints, and an intensity and happiness after a safe return. In particular, the summer of 1940 and 1941 brought challenging first ascents in the Cascade Range – ones that developed self-reliance, perseverance, responsibility, and had a seductive effect. Success, ambition, and an insatiable curiosity about greater ranges spurred my quest to undertake a six-week expedition in 1942 to Mt. Waddington in Canada, where my brother and I found our expectations almost exceeded our brief backgrounds. In time, we became comfortable with our isolation. Very likely we were considered to be eccentric nonconformist teenagers – yet creative with planning and technical advances.
The Alaska Panhandle's stellar peaks became my next alpine obsession, one combining a creative approach to climb Kates Needle and Devils Thumb, which I made with Bob Craig and Cliff Schmidtke in 1946. Our victories were narrow, but led to more optimism. During the following summer I joined a large team with the fixed purpose of climbing remote unclimbed peaks in the British Columbia Coast Mountains east of Mt. Waddington. Mt. Asperity was our zenith, but an avalanche on Serra II brought a fatality and nearly ended my existence. Successive expeditions to the Juneau Icefield were productive, with skiing traverses that led to new technical ascents.
The Alaska Range beckoned in 1954, my adventures beginning with a new route on Mt. McKinley, to be followed by success on unclimbed and dangerous Mts. Deborah and Hunter with Heinrich Harrer and Henry Meybohm. Continuing mountaineering expeditions to numerous Alaskan mountains resulted in rewarding exploratory ventures. Yet the Cascade Range, Sierra Nevada, Wind River Mountains, Canadian Rockies, Bugaboos, and Coast Mountains also lured me into productive challenges. In a quite different arena, the Southwest desert brought both frustrations and triumphs on Shiprock, the Great White Throne, and numerous unclimbed freestanding monoliths.

The majesty, allure, and history of a cherished selection of peaks and routes in North America are portrayed in 100 Hundred Favorite Climbs. The choices range among ascents that have given me a special sense of satisfaction and accomplishment; climbs with aesthetic appeal, climbs with a range of difficulty, and what the pundits have touted.
The descriptions between the covers of this book include climbing history, the geographical setting, occasional anecdotes, and a summary of advice. I have attempted to avoid the typically terse imperatives of guidebook prose, but have included vital access and route details. Despite the assistance of photographs, descriptions, maps, and topos, finding a way among the many puzzling features of a complicated route or alpine peak may still be a serious challenge, with possible penalties arising from poor judgment and lack of competence.
Each of the exceptional ascents in this volume has something special to offer – be it steep cracks on a classic wall, a soaring buttress with little escape, high exposure on a rock tower, moderate to difficult snow and ice, or the undertaking of a massive mountain in the far north that may require an expeditionary effort. Altitude of the peak or route is irrelevant (although my choices are routes four or more pitches in length). All of these ascents have a specific appeal, and are a balance of moderate effort, occasional boldness and risk, stress, and sometimes much labor. The span of my presented climbs ranges from the scalloped cornices of Mt. Deborah, the ice-plastered faces of Mt. Robson, the inimitable Bugaboos, the honed pinnacles on Forbidden Peak, the granite knobs on Charlotte Dome, to the dizzying sandstone of Zion.

Perhaps only a small circle of alpinists will be interested in following the more audacious routes presented here. Certainly some of the targets represent a time-consuming boldness and will not appeal to everyone. Other, more moderate routes may well have a greater attraction, especially for the weekend climber.
Fred Beckey is the author of 100 Favorite North American Climbs. He was born in Germany in 1923 and grew up in Seattle, where he still lives. His earliest first ascent was of Forbidden Peak in 1940; he has been climbing continuously ever since. One of North America's greatest living mountaineers, Fred Beckey has written several authoritative climbing guides, which include several alpine classics, notably the seminal three-volume Cascade Alpine Guide. He is 90 years old today and still climbing.
