EPL Betting Preview: Chelsea vs Manchester United – Sunday, Nov. 28, 2021
by Boris Angelov | November 27, 2021 |
Soccer Betting Previews
Premier League leaders Chelsea take on Manchester United at Stamford Bridge on Super Sunday.
Chelsea will be looking to claim their first Premier League win over Manchester United since November 2017, when Antonio Conte's Chelsea claimed a 1-0 win over Jose Mourinho's United at Stamford Bridge, courtesy of Álvaro Morata's brilliant header.
All in all, The Blues are winless in their last seven league games against The Red Devils, only having a longer run without a league victory against them once before (10 in a row between 1938 and 1950).
Chelsea Betting Preview
Unbeaten in their last 10 matches in all competitions – since the back-to-back 1-0 defeats to Manchester City and Juventus two months ago – Chelsea will be keen to extend their strong form against one of their main Premier League rivals.
The Blues are flying under Thomas Tuchel as they sit top of the table after 12 games, yet there's no room for slowing down. The Blues are one point above Liverpool, following The Reds' comfortable win over Southampton on Saturday, and a positive outcome against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge would mean that they will remain on top, no matter what happens in Manchester City's match against West Ham early on Sunday.
They produced a dominant performance to ease past Italian giants Juventus 4-0 in their Champions League game in midweek. It was The Old Lady's heaviest defeat in the Champions League and clearly demonstrated Chelsea's tactical discipline and quality as a serious contender to defend the European trophy and to also storm the Premier League.
Thomas Tuchel already got 32 wins from 50 games as Chelsea manager and the Blues have also kept an impressive number of 31 clean sheets over the period. The German, who took over from club legend Frank Lampard in January, already won two European trophies – the Champions League and the UEFA Super Cup – and transformed Chelsea into one of the best teams in Europe right now.
They have now conceded just 24 goals in Tuchel's first 50 games at the helm – a record for a manager in charge of a British club. They also boast the best defense in the Premier League this season, conceding only four goals so far and their success is based on solid defending.
Ben Chilwell and N'Golo Kanté went off injured against Juventus and while Kanté should be ready soon, Tuchel will now have to find a way to deal without one of his most in-form players as Chilwell has a partial injury of his ACL and will be ruled out for the next six weeks at the very least.
So Marcos Alonso is set to start as a left-wing back as the Spaniard also made a strong start to the season but eventually tailed off. Alonso can offer a great attacking outlet down the left flank, his delivery, including set pieces, from wide areas, is usually good and is a huge boost, especially for a side that is strong from dead-ball situations.
Veteran Thiago Silva and Antonio Rudiger should start against United, while Trevoh Chalobah, who made his first European start for his boyhood club, could make way for either captain César Azpilicueta or Andreas Christensen in Chelsea's back three.
Croatian midfielder Mateo Kovacic is also injured so Ruben Loftus-Cheek, who revives his career under Tuchel, should start alongside Jorginho in the middle of the park. Ross Barkley and Saul Niguez are also pushing for starts.
Romelu Lukaku returned to Chelsea's matchday squad but the Belgian forward may not start against his former club, so Kai Havertz will likely lead the line if the German overcomes his own hamstring problem in time. Otherwise, Timo Werner could start up front.
Another player who's flourishing under Tuchel – Callum Hudson-Odoi – has started seven straight games for The Blues and is enjoying his best spell for the west London side.
Manchester United Betting Preview
Having won just one of their last seven Premier League matches – a 3-0 win against a clueless Tottenham on October 30 – Manchester United will be looking to get their first League win in the post-Solskjær era.
Ole Gunnar Solskjær's departure after last weekend's fiasco at Watford at least produced a quick response as The Red Devils booked their place in the Champions League knockouts by beating Villarreal.
The Red Devils have a terrible defensive record, conceding 21 goals in 12 games – the joint-third worst record in the English top-flight. However, the United players will be keen to impress the new interim boss Ralf Rangnick after a run of terrible league results (winning only one of their last seven games and losing five) – including abysmal defeats to fierce rivals Liverpool and Manchester City and Liverpool, either of them at Old Trafford.
Ralf Rangnick has been appointed as interim manager on a six-month contract. The 63-year-old German, who has built an impressive reputation during his time in Germany, is ready to join The Red Devils but will lead the side this weekend against Chelsea while he waits for his work permit.
Solskjaer's assistant Michael Carrick, who took charge of Manchester United on Tuesday for the 2-0 victory at Villarreal, was placed in temporary charge, with the club saying he would be in the dugout against Chelsea.
Portuguese playmaker Bruno Fernandes and attacker Marcus Rashford will likely return to the starting side at the expense of Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial, respectively, while Jadon Sancho will keep his place – scoring his first goal for the club against Villarreal.
Captain Harry Maguire is suspended so Eric Bailly is set to start alongside Victor Lindelof at center-back, while Raphael Varane – the man who was brought to stabilize United's defense – continues his recovery.
Elsewhere, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, and Mason Greenwood are also sidelined for United, while Luke Shaw and Fred are both doubts.
Alex Telles will keep his place at left-back if Luke Show is not ready to start, while Fred, who picked up a knock to his ankle, is expected to be ready for the weekend. If Fred is not fully fit to start, veteran Nemanja Matic could also start against his former club, as well as Donny van Beek, who will be eager to get more playing time from now on.
Possible Starting Lineups of Chelsea and Manchester United
Chelsea: Edouard Mendy – César Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, Antonio Rudiger – Reece James, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Jorginho, Marcos Alonso – Mason Mount, Callum Hudson-Odoi – Timo Werner. (3-4-2-1)
Manchester United: David de Gea – Aaron Wan Bissaka, Eric Bailly, Victor Lindelof, Alex Telles – Scott McTominay, Fred – Jadon Sancho, Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford – Cristiano Ronaldo. (4-2-3-1)
Spooky Express Betting Predictions
Both sides were involved in two goalless draws in their head-to-head meetings last season but we expect a completely different intensity and atmosphere at a full Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are strong favorites to extend United's agony but we believe that The Red Devils will hope to benefit from the managerial change and we don't expect an easy game for the home side.
Manchester United has kept a clean sheet in each of their last four Premier League matches against Chelsea. The only club to record a shutout in more successive league matches against the London Blues is Newcastle, as The Magpies managed six in a row between 1913 and 1919.
Remarkably, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored just one goal in 15 matches against Chelsea across all competitions, doing so in the 2008 Champions League final. The Blues are the side he had faced the most in the English top-flight (10 games) without scoring.
However, if there's someone who can possibly inspire this generation of Manchester United – this has to be Ronaldo and we expect him to score this time.

Interest in soccer is skyrocketing among U.S. youth, and so are their injuries.
Especially head injuries.
Results of a 25-year study, released last month by Nationwide Children's Hospital, set off alarm bells in pediatric health circles. The salient numbers:
The yearly rate of injuries increased 111 percent among players ages 7-17.
Soccer-related injuries treated in emergency departments rose 78 percent.
The concussion rate ballooned by nearly 1,600 percent.
The leading types of ailments were sprains or strains (35 percent), fractures (23 percent) or soft tissue injuries (22 percent).
It's not just raw numbers that are up as participation swells. The study, which was conducted from 1990-2014, portrayed young players as facing an increasing risk of getting hurt.
"We're seeing athletes play year-round now thanks to club, travel and rec leagues, and the intensity of play is higher than it ever has been," said study author Huiyun Xiang, director of Research Core at the Center for Injury Research and Policy at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "These factors combine to lead to more risk of injury."
It's scary, but Dr. Vikram Varma, Chairman of Emergency Medicine at Community Medical Center in Toms River, urges perspective when digesting the data.
RELATED: Kids should never specialize in one sport year-round
"What's happening now is people are much more aware of injuries," Varma told the Asbury Park Press. "People are more likely to go to their doctor when there are signs of sprains or head injuries."
The latter is the subject of increasing debate within wellness circles. Some of the concussions are caused by player-to-player collisions, but a 2014 study by the prestigious Journal of the American Medical Association found that a sizable chunk of overall concussions came due to heading the ball: 30 percent in boys and 25 percent in girls.
Building on that concern, the Nationwide Children's Hospital study recommended limiting heading for younger players. It suggested banning heading for those under age 11 -- a practice already put into place by the U.S. Soccer Federation in 2015 – and limiting the amount of heading in practice for anyone under 14.
Varma, who played soccer growing up and whose daughters also played the sport, expressed mixed feelings about the concept.
"It's definitely something to think about," he said. "I would use common sense. Most of the balls they use tend to be age-appropriate. The speed and velocity they play at is less."
RELATED: Hey kids, protect your head when riding
However, he cautioned, "Any time there is a head injury, the most important thing is to get an assessment."
To that end, Community Medical Center is offering free screenings -- both concussion and cardiac -- on Saturday in Toms River. The screenings take place from 8 a.m. to noon in the hospital's auditorium.
The cardiac screenings are open to the first 130 athletes ages 6-18. The concussion screening is open to the first 80 athletes ages 12 and up.
Registration is required. To register and schedule an appointment time, email teamlink@rwjbh.org.
One area where Varma and the study's authors are in complete agreement: Many soccer injuries stem from illegal play when coaches and referees are lax in enforcing the rules.
RELATED: A sportsmanship pledge for high school sports
"Most of these injuries tend to occur because of bad behavior," Varma said. "You don't want kids to push other kids, step on them, head butt them."
But it's hard, Varma added, to legislate physical play out of the game simply because players are younger.
"That's just the nature of soccer," he said.
The positive, Varma said, is that three million American kids are playing in soccer leagues. He does not want to see the potential for injuries have a chilling effect on participation.
"It's a good thing kids are playing sports," he said. "Running around is better than sitting at home."

Two muscovy ducks battle it out, starting on land.
The fight continued in the water. Is this one the bully? Or the bullied?
It was the victim muscovy getting chased by the bully muscovy.
My furlough-extended weekend has been full of gorging on fast food (more on that later), with a little photography sprinkled in here and there.
None of the photographs, however, were notable. Until Thursday.
I set out to test a new wide-angle lens (more on that later), but my telephoto somehow found its way onto my camera when I stumbled across Wells Park, near Melbourne's downtown area.
The urban retreat - frequented by young parents with small children, and single people with dogs - is called home by an array of birds and fish.
And a lot of the birds seemed to be in a fighting mood.
Left: These ducks were picking on themselves, doing their daily plucking early in the evening.
The ducks move into the water.
I focused on the far one, which is probably different from what I would usually do, but I think it works.
An ibis is backlit by sunshine bouncing off a gazebo.
Another ibis prepares for a bath.
An ibis fights with the water.
Like I said, a lot of parents bring their children to the park to feed the fowl. By the time I got around to asking this girl's dad for permission to take photos, it was too late. She ran out of bread, and this is the only shot I got.
This heron does not look happy. It must be time for a beat-down.

The squat should be a standard exercise in any lifters program. Whether the goal is strength, hypertrophy (increase in muscle size), increased accelerative ability, or a heightened vertical jump, the squat is the tool for the task. In addition to working the muscles of the legs, hips, lower back, abdomen, and obliques, the demands of squatting should stimulate a growth response from the body that will carry over into strength and size increases in other areas.
The basic technique of the squat consists in placing a loaded barbell across the shoulders, then bending at the hips and knees, descending into the bottom position, ???the hole,??? and returning to an erect position. We will examine the squat from the deck up.
The shins should be a close to vertical as possible throughout the entire movement. This lessens the opening of the knee joint, and reduces the shearing force as well. By reducing the workload that the knee joint is required to handle, more of the work is accomplished by the larger muscles around the hip joint. For powerlifters, this decreases the distance one must travel with the bar, as the further the knee moves forward, the lower the hips must descend to break parallel.
There are several schools of thought on squat depth. Many misinformed individuals caution against squatting below parallel, stating that this is hazardous to the knees. Nothing could be further from the truth. (2) Stopping at or above parallel places direct stress on the knees, whereas a deep squat will transfer the load to the hips,(3) which are capable of handling a greater amount of force than the knees should ever be exposed to. Studies have shown that the squat produces lower peak tibeo-femoral(stress at the knee joint) compressive force than both the leg press and the leg extension.(4) For functional strength, one should descend as deeply as possible, and under control. (yes, certain individuals can squat in a ballistic manner, but they are the exception rather than the rule). The further a lifter descends, the more the hamstrings are recruited, and proper squatting displays nearly twice the hamstring involvement of the leg press or leg extension. (5,6) and as one of the functions of the hamstring is to protect the patella tendon (the primary tendon involved in knee extension) during knee extension through a concurrent firing process, the greatest degree of hamstring recruitment should provide the greatest degree of protection to the knee joint. (7) When one is a powerlifter, the top surface of the legs at the hip joint must descend to a point below the top surface of the legs at the knee joint.
One of the most, if not the most critical factor in squatting is spinal position. It is incredibly important not to round the back. This can lead to problems with the lower back, and upper back as well. The back should be arched, and the scapulae retracted, to avoid injury. This position must be maintained throughout the entire lift, as rounding on the way up is even more common than rounding on the way down, and people who make this mistake are the ones who perpetuate the ???squats are bad for your back??? myth. Furthermore, spinal position is essential to maintaining a proper combined center of gravity (CCOG). The farther one leans forward or, even worse, rounds the back, the more strain the erectors are forced to bear, and the less the abdominals can contribute to the lift. To say nothing of the fact that the greater the lean, the greater the shearing force placed on the vertebrae. Proper spinal alignment will assist in ensuring that the majority of the force the spine must bear is compressive in nature, as it should be. Another reason for descending below parallel is that the sacrum undergoes a process known as nutation (it tilts forward, relative to the two ilia on either side of it). At only 90 degrees of knee flexion, the sacrum is still tilted backward, which inhibits proper firing of the erectors and gluteus maximus and minimus. Going through a full range of motion completes the rotation of the sacrum and allows maximal muscular recruitment.
The placement of the bar is another very important consideration when squatting. If one places the bar high on the traps, more emphasis will be placed on the quads, and a low bar squat recruits more of the lower back and hamstrings, by virtue of back extension, simply because the lower the bar is placed, the greater the degree of forward lean. Even when high bar squatting, the bar should NEVER be placed on the neck. This is far more stress than the cervical vertebrae should be forced to bear. When a powerlifter squats with a low bar position, the bar should be placed no lower than three centimeters below the top of the anterior deltoids. For other lifters, comfort and flexibility will go a long way towards determining bar positioning. When gripping the bar, at first it is best to place your hands as close together as possible, to maintain tension in the upper back, and to avoid any chance of the bar slipping. As a general rule, the lower you place the bar, the wider your hands will have to be. Anything placed between the bar and the lifter, such as a pad or towel, decreases the force of friction and increases the chance of the bar slipping. It is to avoid injuries that this practice is banned in competition. Also, this will artificially raise the lifter???s CCOG, which makes it harder to balance under a heavy load.
Look slightly upward when squatting, to avoid rounding the upper back. The movement should be initiated from the hips, by pushing the glutes back, not down. This will assist in keeping the shins vertical. On the way down, keep the torso as close to vertical as possible, continue to push the hips back, and push the knees out to the sides, avoiding the tendency to allow them to collapse inward. The manner in which the lifter descends will greatly influence the manner in which the ascent is made. When the necessary depth is achieved, begin ascending by pushing the head back, and continue to concentrate on pushing the knees outward.
One of the most common mistakes made while squatting, or performing any exercise for that matter, is improper breathing. At first, the lifter should inhale on the way down, and exhale on the way up. Many advanced lifters will take several large breaths, hold it all in on the way down, and then exhale forcefully at their sticking point on the way up. This technique, known as the ???Partial Valsalva,??? requires practice like any other.
There are many other types of squats, but all of them are secondary to the squat itself, which is appropriately termed the ???King of Exercises.???
Another popular type of squatting exercise is the split squat (???lunge???). In this type of squat, the legs are placed at approximately shoulder width, but one foot is out in front of the athlete and one is placed to the rear, as if a lifter has just completed the jerk portion of the clean and jerk. The athlete descends by bending the front leg until the knee is slightly forward of the toes. The shin of the front leg should be ten degrees past perpendicular to the floor. It is important to maintain an upright posture when doing so. As when squatting, co-activation of the hamstring serves to protect the knee joint during flexion, (22) which is very important as often a greater degree of flexion will occurring when performing the split squat.
Certain misinformed and so-called ???personal trainers??? will have people squat in a smith machine, which is, quite simply, an idea both hideous and destructive. This is often done under the misguided ???squat this way until you are strong enough to perform a regular squat??? premise. Even if one overlooks the obvious fact that it is better to learn to do something right than build bad habits from the start, there are numerous other factors to be considered. The smith machine stabilizes the bar for the lifter, which does not teach the skill of balancing the bar, balance being important to any athlete, as well as the fact that free weight squatting strengthens the synergists which goes a long way to preventing injuries. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and the smith machine leaves far too many weak links. To say nothing of the fact that free weights provide a greater transfer of functional strength than machines. (23)Furthermore, the bar moves straight up and down, and very few people squat in this manner, which means that the smith machine does not fit a lifters optimal strength curve. (24) The smith machine also requires that the lifter either squats with his torso much closer to vertical than would be done with a real squat, which mechanically decreases the involvement of both the spinal erectors and the hamstrings. While this would be fine if it was done by the lifters muscular control, when the smith machine does this it is disadvantageous to the lifter by virtue of decreasing the ability of the hamstrings to protect the knee joint. Another mistake made, aside from simply using it in the first place, is allow the knees to drift forward over the toes, the chance of which is increased by the smith machine. As was previously mentioned, this greatly increases the shearing force on the knees. This from a device touted by the ignorant as ???safe.???
When training to improve one???s overall squatting ability, expressed as a one-repetition maximum (1rm), once again a variety of programs may be utilized. The most common is a simple periodized program where, over time, the training weight is increased and the number of repetitions decreases. This sort of program is utilized by both Weightlifters and Powerlifters alike. A sample periodized program is included in Appendix B. Some sources state that you must train to failure, while others state that one should train until form begins to break down, leaving a small reserve of strength but reducing the risk of injury. It should be stated that there is no evidence that indicates training to failure produces a greater training stimulus than traditional volume training.
Far and away the most complicated, and controversial training program is the conjugate training method. Using this method one trains to develop maximal acceleration in the squat during one workout, and in another workout (72 hours later) generate maximum intensity in a similar exercise to the squat. This is based on an incredibly lengthy study by A. S. Prelepin, one of the greatest sports physiologists of the former Soviet Union. (37) This method also uses the practice of compensatory acceleration, where an athlete attempts to generate as much force as possible, by not only generating maximal acceleration, but by continuing to attempt to increase acceleration as the lifter???s leverage improves. The addition of chains or bands can increase the workload as well as force the athlete to work harder to accelerate the bar. Utilizing this system, the squat is trained for low repetitions (2) but a high number of sets (10 ??? 12), with training intensities being 50 - 70% of the athlete???s 1rm. Rest periods are short (45 - 75 seconds), and the squats are often performed on a box, which breaks up the eccentric-concentric chain, and inhibits the stretch reflex, forcing the athlete to generate the initial acceleration out of the bottom of the lift without the benefit of the elasticity of the muscle structure.
During the second workout, an exercise which taxes the muscles recruited when squatting, but not an actual squat, is performed for very low repetitions (1-3, usually one). The goal on this day is to improve neuromuscular coordination by increased motor unit recruiting, increased rate coding, and motor unit synchronization. This allows the athlete to continue to generate maximal intensity week after week, but by rotating exercises regularly optimal performance is maintained. For one microcycle, a squat-like exercise is performed, such as a box squat, rack squat, or front squat is performed, then the athlete switches to a different type of exercise, such as good mornings, performed standing, seated, from the rack, etc. for another microcycle, then switches exercises again, often to a pulling type exercise such as deadlifts with a variety of stances, from pins, from a platform, or any number of other variations. Once again, chains or bands may be added to increase the workload. A sample training program is included in Appendix B, and a variety of maximal effort exercises can be found in Appendix C.
Assistance work for the squat is of the utmost importance. The primary muscles which contribute to the squat, in no particular order, are the quadriceps, hamstrings, hip flexors/extensors, abdominals, and spinal erectors. When an athlete fails to rise from the bottom of a squat, it is important to note that not all of the muscles are failing simultaneously. Rather, a specific muscle will fail, and the key to progress is identifying the weakness, then strengthening it. A partial list of assistance exercises is provided in Appendix D. While it is impossible to simply state that if x happens when squatting, it is muscle y that is causing the problem, some general guidelines follow. If a lifter fails to rise from the bottom of a squat, it generally indicates either a weakness in the hip flexors and extensors, or a lack of acceleration due to inhibition of the golgi tendon organ (no stretch reflex ??? train with lighter weight and learn to accelerate if this is the case). If an athlete has a tendency to lean forward and dump the bar overhead, it generally indicates either weak hamstrings or erectors. If an athlete has trouble stabilizing the bar, or maintaining an upright posture, it is often due to a weakness in the abs.
The above factors assume that proper technique is being maintained. If this is not the case, no amount of specific work will overcome this problem. Drop the weight and concentrate on improving skill, which is far more important than training the ego, and less likely to lead to injury.
Safety is the key issue when squatting, or performing any lift. With a few simple precautions, practically anyone may learn to squat, and do so quite effectively. The rewards are well worth the effort. Squat heavy, squat often, and above all, squat safely.
Trapezius (i): The lower half of the trapezius ('traps 3' and 'traps 4') assist in retracting the scapulae and maintaining proper alignment of the cervical and thoracic vertebrae. The Trapezius also assist in maintaining the head in an erect position. This serves to secure the bar in a stable position on the upper back, as well as maintain a proper arch in the upper back (thoracic vertebrae).
The Levator Anguli Scapulae, Rhomboideus major(b), and Rhomboideus minor all function to retract the scapulae, maintain alignment of the cervical vertebrae, retract the scapulae, and maintain proper position of the shoulder girdle while support a fixed load (barbell). Levator not shown, inferior to the scapulae(g). These muscles are of the utmost importance in maintaining the bar position while squatting.
Latissimus dorsai: These wide muscles which cover the lumbar and lower half of the dorsal regions will contract isometrically to avoid compression of the shoulder girdle. They assist in maintaining rigidity in the spinal column, which allow proper arching (lordosis) of the spine while squatting.
The Erector spinae(1), Sacro-lumbalis(b), Longissimus Dorsi(2_, and Spinalis Dorsi(3) all serve to maintain the spine in the erect posture. They also serve to bend the trunk backward when it is required to counterbalance a weight such as when squatting. Numerous smaller muscles function to stabilize the spinal column during back extension, by contracting to maintain vertebral alignment. It should be noted that during a heavy squat, the erectors and their synergists will be quite heavily taxed. Due to the need for the athlete-barbell system to maintain a proper combined center of gravity (CCOG), there will be a certain amount of forward inclination of the trunk taking place, to maintain barbell position over the athlete???s base of support (the foot).
The abdominals: The Rectus(f), Obliques internus(c ), Obliques externus(b), Transersalis(d), Pyramidalis, and Quadratus lumborum all contract isometrically to support the trunk under a compressive load. Pyramidalis (not shown) is a small triangular muscle sheathed within the base of the rectus.
Serratus posticus superior and inferior: Both assist in maintaining rigidity in the torso by contracting isometrically to support the chest cavity as well as providing support for the lumbar vertebrae. Figure Four: Serratus superior (g). Not shown, inferior, below superior.
The intercostals: External intercostals(1), Internal intercostals, Infracostals, Triangularis sterni, and Leytores costarum all contract isometrically to stabilize the ribcage under a compressive load. Only externals are indicated. Other muscles in this group are inferior to the Externals.
The Glutei function to adduct the thigh. The Gluteus maximus(c ) and medius(2) rotate the thigh outward, and the minimus(1) rotates it inward. The Gluteus maximus extends the femur and brings the bent thigh into a line with the body. The Gluteus medius and minimus flex the thigh. The Glutei also function to achieve an erect posture after squatting.
The hamstrings, which consist of the Biceps Femoris(g), Semimembranosus(i), and Semitendinosis(h), serve to flex the knee. They also function to extend the torso, such as when rising from a squatting position. The Semitendinosus and, to a lesser extent, the Semimembranosus, assist in rotating the thigh inward.
The Illiacus(o), Psoas magnus(c), and Psoas parvus(q) (often called the illio-psoas muscle group), acting from above, flex the thigh upon the pelvis, and at the same time rotate the femur outward. Acting from below, the femur being fixed, the muscles of both sides bend the lumbar portion of the spine and pelvis upon the femur. They also serve to maintain the erect position by supporting the spine and pelvis upon the femur.
The Quadriceps function to extend the knee joint, while the Sartorius flexes the leg upon the thigh and the thigh upon the pelvis. Rectus (1), Vastus Externus (2), Vastus Internus (???medialis")(3), Sartorius (c ). When the knee is bent the Sartorious assists the Semitendinosis in rotating the tibia inward. The Rectus assists the Psoas and Iliacus in supporting the pelvis upon the trunk upon the femur.
The Pectineus(f), the Adductor Brevis (g), the Adductor Longus (h), and the Adductor Magnus (not shown, inferior to the other adductors) powerfully adduct (move inward) the thigh. The Pectineus and Adductor Brevis and Longus assist the Psoas and Illiacus in flexing the thigh upon the pelvis. The Gracilis (I) assists the Sartorius in flexing the leg and rotating it inward, it is also an adductor of the thigh.

Is it snowing in Big Sky ?Thank you!
Big Sky, in the United States (Montana State), is a large resort with 36 lifts (inc 24 chair lifts and 12 surface lifts) that offers skiers an incredible 1326 metres (4350 feet) of vertical descent. Big Sky has 5800 acres of terrain over 300 trails with a total length of 136 kilometers (85 miles). Big Sky is best suited to advanced skiers and snowboarders but there is some terrain for beginners and intermediate skiers. We have no information about the existence of any cross country ski trails at Big Sky. For snowboarders, there is a terrain park and a half pipe. A small proportion of the trails at Big Sky are covered by snowmaking. The closest airport is at Bozeman but the transfer time is 1.5 hours. There is accommodation located close to the pistes but we would welcome additional information about any hotels or chalets in Big Sky.
Will be returning to Big Sky for the 8th time and tend to spend about a month at a time skiing all level of trails both on and off piste. Can only say don't go there as it's absolutely awful and that is why we keep returning, if you get my drift.


On arrival at Ho Chi Minh (Saigon) Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel. Balance of the day at leisure, for exploring or shopping.
After breakfast drive to the extraordinary Cu Chi tunnels, located about 70 kms from Ho Chi Minh City. During the war for independence, Viet Cong guerillas built this huge 120 kms network of narrow tunnels, quite often close to and sometimes even underneath U.S. bases, using them to hide during bombing raids, and to stage surprise attacks. They were also used as communications and supply routes, food and weapons storage, sleeping quarters, and were even equipped with underground hospitals and operating theatres. This site is quite amazing, and should not be missed.
Return to Ho Chi Minh City in the afternoon for an interesting and enjoyable half-day city tour, visiting the former Presidential Palace, Notre Dame Cathedral, Saigon Post Office, Chinatown, Binh Tay Market and Thien Hau Temple.
1) Vietnamese visa processing formalities in order to obtain visa on arrival.
2) Accommodation for two nights with daily breakfast, and one lunch at a local restaurant.
3) Private transportation for airport transfers and tour with an English-speaking guide.
4) Entrance fees to museums, temples, etc., as listed in the itinerary.
1) Vietnamese visa stamping fee.
2) Camera and video fees as imposed by local authorities.
3) International air fares and airport taxes.

Slaughterford is a small village and former civil parish about  west of Chippenham, Wiltshire, England. The village has a crossing point of the Bybrook River. It stands in a wooded valley between Castle Combe and Box.

History
The weavers' cottages have 16th-century origins. The present Manor Farmhouse dates from 1753, and attached to it is a late medieval barn. A small 18th-century brewery, now a house, has a prominent chimney that points to its past.

Slaughterford was a separate parish with its own church until it was merged with Biddestone in 1934. Its population at the 1931 census had been 67.

The National Gazetteer of Great Britain and Ireland (1868) states:

Religious sites

The Church of St Nicholas of Myra is Grade II* listed. Built in the 15th century, it was partly destroyed about 1649 by Richard Cromwell's troops on their way to Ireland, and lay in ruins until rebuilt in 1823. Further restoration in 1883 included tracery for the windows. The tower has a single bell cast by John Rudhall in 1823, and there is a 20th-century sanctus bell. The benefice was united with Biddestone sometime before 1953, and today the parish is part of the Bybrook Team Ministry.

A Quaker meeting house was set up in the village in the 17th century. It became disused and the building collapsed in the 1960s, although the burial ground survives. Among the Quakers of the village were the Cheevers family.

Welcome to the rollercoaster that is running your own business.
The best advice I received last month was 'Hold Your Nerve' and that I did.
I never expected it to be as hard as this, I have had my own business before and it was never this tough.
10 months in and I have put everything I thought possible into making it a success. It's been a long waiting game, a game that involves educating organisations on best practice and then hoping this can be communicated properly back to the powers that be. Then you wait, hoping you get their buy in and a green light. So much riding on it, more than they will ever know or need to know.
When dealing with white collar businesses in the early stages of new business development it can take many layers of decision makers to get anything approved and it takes time… time that keeps your cash flow not flowing and your business not moving forward.
It's a learning curve, a process. One where you have to re-evaluate, re-assess and develop new strategies to ensure you are covering all bases. You need to be willing to change and be open to new and different opportunities. You have to grow, adapt and learn what works and what doesn't.
You ride the rollercoaster through its ups and downs. Sometimes you just want to scream and jump off and sometimes you just feel sick, sick with worry and stress. Then you're faced with a harsh inner critic who takes charge of you, self — doubt creeps in and tries to sabotage your positive and optimistic outlook. But you can't let it win. You have to stay strong, believe in what you're doing and what lies ahead.
The key to this is mindset, once you shift this and your energy, we re-gain control and great things start to happen.
And then, you feel it, you see it and you know it's going to work. There is light at the end of the tunnel and the blood sweat and tears you've invested finally come to fruition.
Last month I wanted to throw the towel in, I had lost faith, faith in myself and faith in my future. It was a long dark tunnel that stunk of fear and disbelief, one I now know was part of the inevitable journey you have to go through with a new business.
It doesn't come easy, so when you finally see and feel the light you fully appreciate it and feel worthy of your success. You've fought for it, it's consumed you, haunted you and pushed you to the edge, to the brink of giving up.
But when we let go, let go of fear, something incredible happens.


The increase in costs as a share of global gross domestic product would grow from 1.8% in 2015 to a maximum of 2.2%.
HealthDay News — The global costs of diabetes are high and will increase substantially by 2030, according to a study published online in Diabetes Care.
Christian Bommer, from the University of Göettingen in Germany, and colleagues modeled the absolute and gross domestic product (GDP)-relative economic burden of diabetes in individuals aged 20 to 79 years using epidemiological and demographic data as well as recent GDP forecasts for 180 countries.
The model tested 3 prevalence and mortality scenarios: (1) the baseline scenario, with increases only with urbanization and population aging; (2) the past trends scenario, with increases in line with previous trends; and (3) the target scenario, which accounts for the achievement of global targets.
The researchers found that by 2030 the absolute global economic burden will increase from US $1.3 trillion in 2015 to $2.2 trillion in the baseline scenario, $2.5 trillion in the past trends scenario, and $2.1 trillion in the target scenario.
This means the increase in costs as a share of global GDP would grow from 1.8% in 2015 to a maximum of 2.2%.


Want to be considered a team asset? What basketball player doesn't? Because they create plays for their teammates, great passers are invaluable to coaches. Passing can make or break a team. Done well, they lead to points on the board. Done poorly, they usually lead to turnovers and points on the board for the other team.
The pass must be on time and on target, not only to prevent turnovers, but to allow your teammate to catch the ball in their shooting rhythm.
Passes that lead to layups have to be very precise to get through the defense.
Timing of passes is a key element.
Passing off the side of the body. Traditional chest and bounce passes don't work in every situation. You have to be able to pass with one hand or even off the dribble without the second hand.
Using misdirection. Use your eyes and body language to get the defenders to think you are going to put the ball somewhere else. Becky Hammon is a great person to study for this. She has mastered the art of misdirection.
Shielding the ball. Just like when you are dribbling or shooting, you must use your body to hide the ball and protect it from defenders.
Reading the hands of the defense. If their hands are high, then pass low and vice versa.
The same game you played as a kid. The only exception is if the player in the middle tips the ball, then they are on the outside.
One player has two balls while the other has one. They both dribble twice, then pass with either hand before the two-ball player crosses the ball over to the other hand in preparation for a pass back. The one-ball player receives the pass and makes the same two dribble and pass move. The drill becomes continuous from there.

WWE SuperCard: An Addiction
by B. Patrick January 26, 2015, 10:24 am 312 Views
In the recent past, the general population has gravitated to games with some of the simplest concepts. Whether your game/drug of choice was Angry Birds, Candy Crush or even Minecraft, you have games that the briefest description would make you re-think the amount of time one spent playing.
"So you spent how many hours throwing various birds at different structures containing evil and dumb pigs?"
"No, it isn't like that, they were dressed like Star Wars!"
Personally, I've found ways to avoid some of these crazes. I've dabbled with the free version Angry Birds on my iPad here and there. I've done some co-op Minecraft with my buddy on Xbox Live but god help me if I got punching a cow for leather on my own.
The worst of these for me was most likely Hexic HD on Xbox Live. For those unfamiliar, the game is like a Bejeweled/ Tetris fusion that can easily lend itself to be played for hours on-end without realizing it.
On August 14th, 2014, 2K Sports and the WWE unleashed a dangerous drug to the wrestling fans with passing gaming interest in the world.
WWE Supercard was out for a few months before it started consuming the little pockets of free time in my life. I didn't download initially, as I never really do a ton of apps or games with my phone. But I heard it was fun, so I decided to check it out and kept going.
For those unfamiliar with the game, the title SuperCard is pretty spot on. Users collect cards of different WWE Superstars. Each one has a different balance of Power, Speed, Toughness and Charisma. When the deck calls for a battle of Speed and Charisma, you are going to want to reach for your Daniel Bryan card instead of channeling your inner Eric Bischoff and automatically summoning KAAAANNNNNEEEE.
The player keeps a deck of cards but in standard exhibition, the user pre-sets their lineup of their top four Superstars and top Diva. Your excess cards can be saved for training your card to be even stronger and if you have your card as strong as can be, by feeding cards and pairing with a matching card (before feeding again), don't worry- you have tiers!
With Common, Uncommon, Rare, Super Rare, Ultra Rare, Epic, Legendary and Survivor, you can have various levels of power to your Superstars. Most cards get cooler as they go on.
For instance, a Common (man) Dusty Rhodes looks like Dusty circa 2007 Randy Orton bullrope feud, whereas an Ultra Rare Dusty gives him Polka Dots he can be thankful for year-round.
Pretty straight forward – which is what lead to me playing this round the clock. After each win, you draw another card and I just had to update my deck.
What started with winning off of a team of Rare R-Truth and Rare Jey Uso has escalated into participating in the now weekly events to get super-powered Roman Reigns and Bad News Barrett cards that normally drawn cards cannot compete with.
The King of the Ring mode lets the player enter eight superstars and two divas into a multi-day tournament to get higher prizes. These can be done in the background of regular play.
Supercard features the freemium game styling that sucks the player in. Much like the recent episode of South Park featuring Stan getting addicted to spending on these things, I found myself in the same conundrum during the Christmas day release of the Road to Glory game feature.
I never paid money and watched people accumulate difficult cards by spending money in big events. Road to Glory, an event for 20 cards – your top 16 superstars and top 4 divas – lead the player to work through tiers with reward cards of each tier. When I got so far into getting the overpowered Surfer Era Sting card, I gave in and bought credit.
The Road to Glory stirred a lot of controversy in the Supercard community due to essentially any player with a lot of time or money during the four day event wound up with the super-powered card, watering down the game when virtually every opponent threw this card out.
Two weeks later, the game did a competition for WWE's newest chosen son, Roman Reigns. The competition got much, much stiffer and led to an equal amount of complaints of the reward-driven tournament getting too tough.
Folks like me, who held firm on not spending money, dropped money again. Now, I haven't done as much as I've seen some people spending but the credit packs I am buying are definitely more than I pay on these things, as I just want my deck to get better and this happens to the best way.
Days after the Roman Reigns event, the community was shocked as instead of the standard People's Champion event that typically only gives the top rewards to five players worldwide, the developers announced a Bad News Barrett Road to Glory – making it come up before people fully had their twenty card decks prepared. Players who don't spend an excessive amount of time on the game who were fortunate enough to get Roman may not have fully had one of their new star cards ready to go.
As of this writing, the Barrett Road to Glory is underway and like the other Road to Glory events, is stirring up a great deal of discussion. Some folks see the competition getting even more difficult than the previous events. In the push to get the last card in the event, the challenge level gets extremely hard and it has been noted that blatant developer maintained bots have entered the game, as profiles such as IamTheGame, who sports a 0-0 record, happens to have some of the exclusive "1 of 5" in the world cards, among a plethora of other cards powered beyond what players with even 1,000 games under their belt would have.
The Barrett card itself is a nice card in looks and features. The Power, Toughness and Charisma is floating right around the almighty Venice Beach Sting and Roman Reigns cards, however, the speed is right on par with the speed of the lesser card of Fandango, released around this event.
All wrestling fans would agree, in the real world Fandango would probably beat our favorite deliverer of Bad News in a foot race but you do have to think twice that a card requiring most people to spend money to obtain should be a bit more dominant than a card that while being in a top tier, is a midlevel card of a guy in the midlevel of the midcard.
While there are some genuine gripes and I find myself getting a little too frustrated at a silly game that helps pass small bursts of free time (who am I kidding, at times I go hours on end…), Supercard keeps me sucked in.
Something for the gamer in me, something for the collector in me, all tied around my interests in pro wrestling past, present and future, I am going to cut the article for now, so I can go get myself the second Bad News Barrett.
Enjoy your game and if you are in exhibition, a King of the Ring, on the Road to Glory or fighting to be People's Champion, my tag is MrMuffinsLuvsU and I would love for you to come at me, bro! Maybe by then, I'll have some Bad News waiting for you.

I got an AV-600 SWR / power meter but the SWR only works when switched to the power setting. If I set it to the SWR setting the needle always sits at the same point in forwards or reverse even with a dummy load fitted. Has anyone got one of these meters ?


Julie Otsuka's debut novel When the Emperor was Divine tells the story of a Japanese American family forced to live in an internment camp during World War II. In five concise chapters, Otsuka presents the points of view of each family member creating an intimate and detailed portait of people living through one of America's darkest and most shameful periods: the internment of more than 110,000 Japanese Americans for 3-1/2 years.
Though her story centers around this tragic time in American history, Otsuka's unsentimental style strips characters to their core to create a powerful story of exile and racism that is particularly resonant today. She explains, "I wanted to write a novel about real people... their experience is universal not only for Japanese Americans, but for people of any ethnic group. All throughout history people have been rounded up and sent away into exile. The predicament of the family in my novel—ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances beyond their control—is a very human one."
Julie Otsuka was born and raised in California. She is a graduate of Yale University and received her M.F.A. from Columbia. She lives in New York City. Otsuka is one of the winners of the Sixth Annual Asian American Literary Awards and was honored at the Asia Society on December 8, 2003.
Asia Society spoke with Otsuka about the writing of her novel, her own family's internment, and the relevance of this experience for today's world.
Your family was interned during the war. Can you tell me how this influenced the writing of When the Emperor was Divine?
There was always a lot of silence in my family about the internment—nobody seemed to want to talk about it. The war was something that I, too, tended to avoid in my own work. For years I wrote only comic stories, but as time went on, images of the war began to surface in my writing. So clearly the camps were something I needed to write about. The first chapter of my novel, "Evacuation Order No. 19," was the first piece of 'serious' fiction I'd ever written.
Since 9/11, new regulations for immigrants from Muslim nations as well as other countries have often been compared with the Japanese internment. I just saw a documentary called Lest We Forget that draws very direct parallels between the two American experiences. Do you think that Americans have learned from the injustice of the Japanese internment? Or do you think it could happen again?
I don't think we've learned much from the past at all; it's as if it never even happened. Even today, when I speak to young people—high school and college-age students— it is striking that some of them know nothing about the internment of the Japanese Americans at all. It's still not taught in most history classes, or it's given a brief mention, at most. And I do think it could happen again—I never thought this until Sept. 11. But everything that's happening now—the targeting of Muslims and Arabs in the US for investigation and interrogation, the government's ability to label anyone an 'enemy combatant' and deprive him of his civil rights–is extremely worrisome.
In this same documentary, there is an interview with the famous Japanese American activist Yuri Kochiyama who talks about her own family's internment. It reminded me so much of your book. You really capture a universal experience for many Japanese Americans. Is this why none of your characters have names?
Yes, but because their experience is universal not only for Japanese Americans, but for people of any ethnic group. All throughout history people have been rounded up and sent away into exile. The predicament of the family in my novel—ordinary people caught up in extraordinary circumstances beyond their control—is a very human one.
You pay great attention to detail in your writing which really makes the reader feel a part of the experience. I know a lot of people have noticed this about your novel and found it to be more powerful than focusing on the broader injustice and victimization of the internment. Did you decide this early on or is this more a result of your style of writing?
I never made a conscious decision to focus on detail. I think that, because of my background as a painter, I'm very concerned with what the world looks like. I have to visualize a scene in my head before I can begin to write it. Also, I wasn't interested in writing a novel about injustice and victimization, I wanted to write a novel about real people.
When I read the introduction of the mother character I felt like you could be describing any other American woman of that time in the sense that her being Japanese seemed incidental, and this made the subsequent internment of her and her family more powerful for me. Perhaps because I am Asian American this resonated more for me. How much do you identify with being of Japanese heritage?
Very little. Although my father is from Japan, my parents only spoke English at home, and we were taught nothing about Japanese culture. It was only later, when I went to college and began to study Japanese, that I became more interested in my heritage.
Have you been to Japan? If so, what was your experience like?
I went to Japan the summer I was 19 and visited my father's relatives in the town where he grew up. My father is from a small town in the countryside in the mountains. The experience was wonderful, but very disorienting. I don't think I'd ever been any place that made me feel so 'other' before. Japan and the Japanese were much more foreign than I'd ever imagined. I realized what a long way my father was from 'home,' whatever that is.
I also think the numbness of the mother as she packs up the family to leave is very striking. She is very task-driven and when she kills the dog it reinforces this state of mind. Do you sense from your own family's experience that this is something that Japanese Americans would rather forget as a bad memory or do you find that this injustice has created a more politicized Japanese American community?
As for my mother and her family, the internment is definitely something they would rather forget because of the shame and the stigma they felt at having been labeled 'disloyal.' I think the desire to forget was quite common among the people who came out of the camps. They wanted to put the past behind them and just get on with their lives. But I do think that, because of what happened, the following generations of Japanese Americans have definitely become more politicized.
Your last chapter is very different from the rest of the novel. Some people might feel it is too abrupt but I found it to be a very powerful ending. Through the whole story the family is dealing with the day-to-day and don't express much anger. But the last chapter feels like a culmination of all the anger that they, as well as Japanese Americans collectively, must have felt. How and why did you decide to write the conclusion this way?
I actually had no idea how I'd end the book. But one day, while I was working on the second-to-last chapter, I 'heard' the angry voice of the father. The words came to me very quickly—I scribbled them down and I knew, immediately, that they were the 'right' ending for the book. I was surprised that I had such easy access to the father's anger—I almost felt like I was channeling a voice from beyond. That ending simply came to me—it was a gift.
You mentioned that you were also a painter before you started writing. It sounds like writing became a better fit for you than painting. How did you discover this?
I stopped painting because I became extremely self-critical and overwhelmed by doubt and couldn't go on. After I stopped painting, I began going to my neighborhood café and reading every day—I didn't know what else to do with myself, and I found stories terribly consoling. Reading was the only thing that seemed to make me feel better. After reading for a couple of years, I began to think about writing, and signed up for a workshop. I felt I had nothing to lose, since I'd already failed as a painter, so I wasn't afraid. And in fact, I found that I felt very comfortable with language. It seemed a much easier medium to work with than painting. And I still feel that way.
Who are some of your favorite writers? Are their any Asian or Asian American writers you find inspiring?
Some of my favorites are: Ernest Hemingway, Jamaica Kincaid, Marguerite Duras, Joy Williams, Lydia Davis, Colum McCann, Annie Ernaux, Joan Didion, James Salter, Alice Munro, Richard Ford, Rick Bass. I'm also a big Murakami fan. I love Gish Jen's humor and pathos. I admire Kawabata's Palm of the Hand Stories. And Ishiguro, too. One of my favorite Asian American writers is le thi diem thuy—I just read her book, The Gangster We Are All Looking For, and it's stunning.
Yes, I've started writing the next one, but feel superstitious about talking about it this early on. Don't want to jinx it. Silly, I know.


When you think you have enough pitching, go out and get some more pitching.
Scott Feldman was pretty crafty in the opener. And Jarred Cosart looked downright nasty Wednesday night.
Living in Minnesota and paying my $129 to MLB.com, I'm able to watch every game (unless they're playing the Twins or Brewers). Yeah, it's cold in the winter, but the CSN Houston deal doesn't bug me.
Anyway, I was able to watch both Feldman and Cosart. I know the big "Upgrade" to the Astros' pitching was supposed to be the bullpen, but thus far, I'm impressed with the starters. I don't know if it's Strom or guys maturing or enjoying the change of scenery, but this rotation is looking good. … And we haven't even seen the hot prospects (other than Cosart) contribute. Well, maybe Brett Oberholtzer was considered a hot prospect. But I don't think anyone ever put that tag on Lucas Harrell or Dallas Keuchel.
And the quality of the pitching thus far (and I'm expecting Obie and Keuchel to give quality innings … for me the jury is still out on Harrell) has been great. Feldman went nearly 7 innings giving up zippo runs. Cosart went 5 innings. The last one was a bit of a struggle, though I question Porter pulling him for Jerome Williams–unless there was something wrong with Cosart–despite Williams putting up a goose egg in the sixth.
So, if you've been able to watch … or at least listen in, what have you thought?
It's two games, but are you loving this starting pitching thus far?
I'm here to tell you, Cosart's curve ball looked unhittable the first few innings. And while he ONLY struck out three, he didn't walk anyone. That said, there were a lot of 3-2 counts on Yankees (spit!) hitters. If he can improve his control just a touch, what do you think Cosart's ceiling might be?
I know this is all about our starters, but c'mon Kevin Chapman! Must you add to my gray hair collection?
I didn't even discuss the offense here, but it goes without saying that everyone owes Dexter Fowler a debt of gratitude. The rest of the offense looked like a bad omen though. Are you worried or just chalking it up to a good outing by Hiroki Kuroda?
Oh, and … Astros win! Astros win again!
all right all right all right!!!
Then when the Yankees (spit!) faltered for a few years, Steinbrenner decided to spend his way to the World Series.
Add to that the Yankees (spit!) being on TV ALL THE TIME, and it's easy to see how my hatred developed.
Don't even talk to me about Chris Chamblis!
Managed to win in spite of Porter and Chapman. What is Bo thinking PH for Carter with the bases loaded with CORPORAN!!! And does Chapman understand that when he is brought in to face a lefty he is supposed to make him swing the bat? Echoes of Wesley Wright in 2013. Many kudos to Fowler, Cosart, Albers and Fields and it was sure good to see Dominguez go yard opposite field. Can we stop the season right now?
If you have to pinch hit for your DH, you need a new DH.
The Astros are 2-0. The Yankees are 0-2 and now they get to face our young lefty.
So why the criticism? No need to go after Porter, Chapman or Carter. Not everyone on this team is going to be great every night. And Carter has a tendency to break out in games when you don't expect it.
Be Happy. I never thought we would start this good. Please,enjoy it.
Our pitching staff has given up 3 runs in 18 innings. That's wonderful. we're undefeated even though we aren't hitting a ton. That's wonderful.
More thoughts – I actually got to watch most of this game unlike the first game which I "saw" on the net….
– Cosart at times seems to be channeling Kile's curveball – nice. The big plus last night – 0 walks which he strruggled with last year. I like his Oswaltian bull doggedness, he does seem to be a bit like Bud Norris – effective, but uses a lot of pitches to get through the innings. I would have liked to see him get thru 6 last night.
– I know you are not talking that much about the bullpen – but even with a little tightrope walk with Chapman – they did a good job last night. The Astros were terrible in 2013 when they scored 3 runs or less. This is a game they probably lost 3 out of 4 times last season.
– I liked Albers fire last night and really loved his wicked slider – had the leftys swinging 6 inches above a pitch heading for their ankles. 4 K's in 5 batters.
– Fields came in and looked in control like at the end of last season and during ST. Threw strikes and got off the field.
– Williams got into a bit of trouble (thanks to an ump who seemed to really squeeze the zone with Jeter up) but stayed calm and got out of it.
– Offense stunk – but they won even with getting nothing from Castro Altuve and Carter.
Fun game – hope the big O goes out there and gives them a different look and shuts the Yanks down again. The city of NY will go apoplectic if their darlings get swept by the Astros.
If you read the NY Post and Daily News this morning, they're already standing on the ledge looking longingly at the sidewalk. The Post can't seem to say "Astros" without mentioning 111 loses last season. They're as bad as me and my (spit!) thing when I say "Yankees" … (spit!).
In 2013, handing a lead to the bullpen for the last four innings petrified me. I like our chances in 2014 when we do that. As for pulling Cosart after five, I don't need to see him grind out innings this early in the season. Kershaw did that in spring training and is now missing time.
I hope Fowler can stay healthy and continue to swing the bat so well. I wasn't a huge fan of the trade because it bumped he who shall not be played (or is it paid) out of CF. I'm willing to reconsider.
Great to see this team get out to a 2-0 start. And certainly, the pitching has been excellent. But I think it's a bit too early yet to be loving the rotation. Let's check it out when we've been though all five guys three or four times.
And to be realistic, I still expect the offense to struggle, especially against good pitching. On a team that has Altuve hitting 3 and 4, well, we're not that good at the plate.
But I'm also not prepared to get on my favorite manager yet, simply for pulling Carter for Corporan. I would have left Carter in, if only to let him know that he's our big guy in that situation. I'm not sure if that move made Carter like Bo anymore than I do.
Daveb, did you buy your official Jeter retirement tour shirt at the souvenir shop?
Actually, I spent my money on a lukewarm Bud Light with a "born on date" of January 14. I wonder where that bottle of beer was incubating from the time of it's birth, all the way to April 1?
I had to listen to the game last night, but I was *very* impressed when Villar just put the ball in his back pocket instead of trying to be Super man and get a difficult double play. Now……since Porter used Chapman, and Albers for two straight games, they probably won't be available tonight, oh and……… Fields was OUTSTANDING last night!
I know I concentrated on the starters above, but I agree on Fields and would add that Albers was pretty wicked too. He closed the door in the seventh and worked around that lead off double in the eighth like a mature relief pitcher.
We used a lot of arms last night but both Fields and Qualls are available tonight. As is Williams. And we haven't even gotten to Peacock and Bass.
I really appreciate Josh Fields' effort last night – and kudos to him since the results were fantastic. And his post-game interview was inspiring as well. But I saw one thing that concerned me a little. Does he usually work that high up in the zone? I have the sense that a team with a little more patience at the plate than this year's Yankees [all in unison please noisily expectorate] could have made that 9th inning look a whole lot different.
Bill, some pitchers can get away with high fastballs, especially with rising movement. Pitchers capable of 97-98 with upward movement can live up there because a lot of batters with uppercut swings think they can catch up to it but the bat angle doesn't work.
If Fields can get his other stuff down and occasionally get batters to chase that high heat he can be such an effective closer because he can face a team three straight nights and if the batting order or different parts of the lineup don't get to see him he is fresh to them. If he closes against the middle of the lineup last night he could face the top or the bottom tonight and they wont get to see him again for months. They will remember that high heat next time and then he might freeze them with a curve or make them chase a slider. Rivera did it for 15 years because of his movement. His cutter just darted and batters never could get good contact.
For years Wagner lived with heat up in the zone. and the slider at the ankles.
Just took a look at the OKC Red Hawks' opening day lineup. Looks pretty stout! Go have some fun boys!
Speaking of which – we are running an OKC roundup starting tonight…..
Great game last night. I agree Cosart's curve looked fabulous for the first 2-3 innings.
I did not see the game [hush now, it's all been said], so I have a question about Brad Peacock's night. He struck out four, but he walked three [way too many]. Was he getting squeezed by the ump, or was he just all over the place? And looking at the pitch counts, I gather the Yankees must have gotten the word about being more patient against Astro hurlers.
And then Harrell pitches and squelches our excitement over the starting pitching. Oh well, I am hoping only about 2 more months of Lucas and he will be gone (once Folty's service time is pushed back one more season).


Welcome to our buyer's guide to the 1911. If you're not interested in a long winded in-depth guide and just want an immediate and basic recommendation, buy an $650-$1200 pistol chambered in .45 ACP with a Government length (5") barrel from Springfield Armory, Colt, Smith & Wesson, SIG Sauer, Ruger, or Remington. The decision between each of those models and manufacturers will come down to price and preference.
Before continuing, as a point of note, when I refer to the platform as the 'M1911' or simply the '1911', what I truly mean is the M1911A1 and its modern derivatives. The original M1911 was modified with some small external changes in 1924 and was designated the M1911A1, although the longer title has never really entered common colloquialism.
.45ACP: The cartridge the 1911 was originally designed for, this venerable round has been in service since the introduction of the handgun more than a century ago. Ballistics-wise, this cartridge is big and relatively slow. However, the in-depth discussion of it in relation to the rest of the 'Big Three' is a discussion for another day, though for a short introduction, you can check out our discussion of the 'Big Three' in our ZAUF series. In terms of magazine capacity, the original standard was seven rounds, with more modern standards set at 8, or if one is willing to use an extended magazine, 10. Of note, however, is that in a traditional 1911 chambered in .45 ACP, constant chambering and rechambering of the same round will result in bullet setback – when the bullet itself is pushed deeper into the brass from where it was originally seated. Cartridges suffering from bullet setback are dangerous to fire and should be removed from use.
.357 SIG: This caliber is great – a solution to a problem that may or may not have existed – and has been adopted by a number of agencies including the Secret Service. However (and this is a rather large 'however'), I do not believe the .357 SIG has any place in serious use with an M1911. With the .40 casing, this caliber only offers an absolutely minimal magazine capacity increase when compared to .45 ACP. It can also present issues caused by the necked casing. In short, if you want a gun in .357 SIG, the 1911 is not the best option.
The grip safety is the lever-like protrusion at the rear of the pistol frame that is held up against the web of the firing hand and needs to be fully depressed for the pistol to fire. In theory, under stress the grip safety will be depressed because the firing hand will have an adrenaline-fueled vice grip on the pistol and won't be an issue that requires discussion. However, after over 100 years of observation, there have been a number of incidents in which someone with a hand wound was unable to make the handgun function under stress due to being unable to deactivate the grip safety. Many consider this particular pitfall of the design to be one of the major downsides of the 1911 platform.
It is of my opinion that the 1911 design is the only one that can get away with having a grip safety since modern handguns that lack the sliding trigger or the particular safety/sear combination of the original design have no reason to even consider it (looking at you, HS2000/Springfield XD.) Furthermore, the original design of the pistol lacks a firing pin safety of any sort, leaving the grip safety and manual safety as the only 'safety' features on the firearm. The 1911 is a single action handgun, meant to be carried 'cocked and locked', meaning that the hammer is locked back and there is a round in the chamber.
Government: A 5 inch barrel, generally considered the 'full size' version of the 1911. This particular length is the one that was adopted for widespread service by the US Government and bears that title.
Commander: A barrel about 4 inches long with shortened frame to match, this length is considered the 'compact' size of the M1911.
Officer: The smallest of the lot, referring to a barrel approximately 3.5 inches long with an even more abbreviated frame. This length is considered the 'subcompact' size.
The M1911 operates with a fairly unique trigger system uncommon in modern designs. Unlike other pistol designs, the trigger of the 1911 slides into the frame instead of hinging on a single point like a lever. This translates to a smoother, more consistently rearward trigger pull for the end user. This more 'luxurious' trigger pull benefits everyone from the most basic paper puncher all the way up to professional shooting competitors with highly tuned raceguns, which continues to drive the popularity of the platform.
Hybrid spec magazine feed lips allow the cartridge to spring free of the magazine's control earlier in the feeding cycle for the purpose of improving reliability in feeding non-hardball ammunition such as hollowpoints and wadcutters. The lips themselves are generally shorter while preserving the taper of their GI derivations.
For anyone with any experience with modern handguns, an external extractor is par for the course: accessible visually from the outside of the pistol, in the production of a given firearm an external extractor is much easier to deal with and doesn't add any unforeseen costs to the production of the pistol. As it is with everything, mileage varied throughout some production models with various shifts in quality and reliability throughout the years, but modern production 1911s with external extractors will generally be reliable in their function.
Referring once again to the original design of the 1911, the design required only a short rod tensioned with the mainspring against the recoil spring plug. A trend in modern 1911s has been to eschew that for an 'improved' design involving a two-piece full length guide rod that requires a tool (usually a hex wrench of some variety) to remove it from the frame. What many manufacturers will promise from this change in design is an inherent increase in accuracy for the weapon. From personal experience and the majority of anecdotes available for public perusal, there is no real evidence to support that statement beyond marketing hype. As a rule, I do not recommend opting for a full length guide rod in a 1911 purchase because it will only add unnecessary complexity without any added function.

L'ho già detto in un altro blog…Come mai i mirtilli sono spariti solo dalle mie montagne?
Quando vedo quelle piantine con i mirtilli mi vengono le lacrime agli occhi perché mi sento tanto bambina.
Ma dai sono spariti? speriamo che ritornano. Forse le piante devono riposare un po'.
Purtroppo non é che ne abbiamo trovati tantissimi, si vedeva che giá qualcun'altro era stato lí a raccoglierli. L'anno prossimo dobbiamo ricordarci di andare un po' prima.
I am green with jealousy! There is no place to go nearby our city for blackberrying. I have to do some blackberrying in our supermarket which is really not exciting since these yummy berries are SO expensive and no fun in a little cardboard box. But they are so yummy and healthy while they look so intensely sad with their dull blue, blackish color.
Beautiful places and photos, as always. Thanks for sharing!
