NCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship
Stanford blocks a University of Oregon attempted kill by Martenne Bettendorf
Both Stanford and Oregon have made it easily through the first two rounds of the 2012 NCAA Women’s Volleyball National Championship Tournament. Later today, they both play again. Oregon goes up against BYU and Stanford takes on Iowa State. If they both continue to win they can meet in the championship game on December 15 in Louisville, Kentucky.
Stanford University 2012 Women’s Volleyball Team
Today’s photos were taken last month when these two teams met in Eugene.
P.S. You can watch this game live on espn3.com.
Balboa Peninsula sunset – Newport Beach, California
On my trip to Southern California earlier this year we did a dinner cruise in Newport Bay. This photo was taken near the end of the bay near the end of the Balboa Peninsula. I think that’s the jetty to the left after the houses on Balboa Boulevard end.
Corrosion of Conformity
While I was getting into metal bands in the 1980s, COC was a punk band so I never got into them. Although I came to like Suicidal Tendencies, who crossed over from punk to metal, I suppose I never heard enough of COC once they made the switch to metal to come to appreciate them.
At the Getaway Rock Festival, where I took today’s photos, I was so tired when COC hit the stage that this wasn’t the best of opportunities to fall in love. Instead, I headed for my hotel halfway through their set in order to take a nap. I made it back to the festival just in time for Ghost.

Carly Wopat’s ridiculous vertical jump
I’m not sure how much of this photo is an optical illusion caused by my angle, but (considering the ladies around Carly are all about 6′ tall) doesn’t it look like Carly Wopat can leap about three or four feet into the air straight up?
Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders
I purchased a new laptop that I’ve been working on the past few days. As such I don’t have access to any photos other than those I recently took so no Japan photos today. I hope you don’t mind this image instead of some U of O cheerleaders that I took earlier this month at a University of Oregon vs. Stanford game.
