This National Memorial is the climax of a 50 year dream by the crew members who survived the sinking of the cruiser USS Indianapolis in 1945. They worked continually to erect a fitting memorial to their missing shipmates. The Memorial is located at the North end of the Canal Walk. The Memorial is an outdoor site and is available to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Engraved on the South face of the monument are the names of the ship's company and one passenger who made up her final crew.

text: Obviously Virtue & Moir and Weaver & Poje are locks for the first 2 spots. Who will get the 3rd spot that W&P so generously and bravely gifted to the others by toughing out skating at Worlds after a serious and very recent injury. Gilles & Poirier might be the logical favorites on paper but after a poor Worlds and continued lukewarm responses from international judges (high scores at 4CCs were all teams were scored unusually highly aside) I think they are far from a safe bet. Paul & Islam continue to make strides, yet they seem to have silly errors pop up at Nationals. Hopefully they can get atleast 1 grand prix assignment and make a mark before Nationals. Orford & Williams are on the rise and challengers for that spot, and some might hold out hope (extremely faint IMO) for Asher & Hill. Who would your early pick be.

CUWiP Testimonials
"The NCUWP continues to be the highlight of each year for me, and I encourage all undergraduate women of physics to attend...It gives you a chance to network with other undergraduate women, as well as graduate students, professors, women in industry, and allies in the cause of improving women's standing in physics. It is an empowering experience, to say the least, and I hope that everyone, no matter their involvement in physics, or even the sciences, can experience such a fulfilling conference at some point in their lives."
- Amelia Plunk, Mount Holyoke College, creator of whatisaplunk.com
- Dr. Kevin Pitts, Associate Head of Undergraduate Programs at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"Over the long weekend we got to attend talks from successful women in physics, present our own research, interact with other women in physics over free meals, and listen to panels discussing careers, grad school, and undergraduate research. We also got to tour Oak Ridge National Laboratory and see some of the incredible resources there, like the Spallation Neutron Source and their supercomputing facility...SCUWP and other women in physics events provide the opportunity for young women to network and gain motivation and support to continue physics."
- Nora Swisher, James Madison University
"After attending the 5th Annual Midwest Conference for Women in Physics, I feel so much more confident about what I would like to do! After two days of watching physicists give presentations on their research and different experiences in their fields, it seemed like I really knew what kinds of physics I found interesting versus which areas I found less interesting. For anyone who is unsure about exactly what they want to do, I highly suggest attending a conference!"
- Shannon Glavin, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
"NCUWiP has been an invaluable experience for me...Even though the time length was fairly short, the materials, information and experiences that came with it are rich in content. Distinguished women speakers/panelists from diverse branches of physics broadened my horizon of the physics world immensely, helped me to identify myself better, and even motivated me to devote myself more to this inspiring arena...I also appreciate the opportunity for undergraduate women who share the same prospect for the future to come together, and the opportunity for us to share our different stories and love of physics. Personally, I was also thrilled to receive a long email from a Cornell professor a week after the conference with detailed feedback to a presentation I gave during the conference. This letter, along with several useful links for additional literature that might shed light on my research and some instructions on future endeavors, is absolutely invaluable...This conference has invigorated me to move forward in physics with more determination and enthusiasm. I believe that every participant, like me, has enjoyed every single minute of this eye-opening experience. I highly recommend any woman who has some interest in physics to attend CUWiPs in the future."
- Zhuyun Xiao, Bryn Mawr College

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Oct 12, 2010.
They just look better losing...
It surprises me that people are still talking about playoffs with a 34.7% winning percentage...heading for 28 wins.
With them being only 4 games out of the final spot and 33 games left, the optimism in all of us believes/hopes that they can make a run at it, but they need cooperation from Philly, Charlotte, Indiana and Milwaukee to run into a rough patch and take a hard extended fall like the Wizards and the Cavs... In fact if the Pistons had won their last 4 games instead of losing them, they would be in 8th spot now, a half game ahead of Charlotte
Tayshaun Prince describes Pistons' season as 'wasted' | detnews.com | The Detroit News
Other than seeing the development of JJ, I would call last season a waste too...
At 20-36, the Pistons are on current pace for a 29-53 season. Many people around here are still talking playoffs....
I stand by my prediction of 33 wins.
We're bound for a an easy win or two at the end of the season when we're playing against a team that has their playoff spot locked in.
Here's my prediction for the rest of the season: FEBRUARY 2/16 Indiana 2/22 Houston 2/23 @Indiana 2/25 @Philadelphia 2/26 Utah We're not beating Utah. We'll probably split the Indiana games. We may pull of a surprise either against Philly or Houston. February prediction: 2-3 Record going into March: 22-39 MARCH 3/1 @Milwaukee 3/2 Minnesota 3/6 Washington 3/9 @San Antonio 3/11 @Oklahoma City 3/12 @Denver 3/16 Toronto 3/18 New York 3/20 @Atlanta 3/23 Miami 3/25 @Cleveland 3/26 Indiana 3/30 @Indiana Minnesota, Toronto, Cleveland and Washington are all in tank mode. Since they're much better at tanking than us, we'll get those four games. We'll lose in Milwaukee and we'll go 0-3 on that brutal road trip to start the month. New York, Atlanta and Miami are all games we'll lose. We'll either split the Indiana games or lose both of those but pull of a miracle win against the other playoff teams. March prediction: 5-8 Record going into April: 27-47 APRIL 4/1 Chicago 4/3 @Boston 4/5 @Washington 4/6 New Jersey 4/8 Milwaukee 4/10 @Charlotte 4/11 Cleveland 4/13 @Philadelphia Boston, Chicago, Milwaukee, Charlotte and Philly will all be jockeying for playoff spots. That's 5 losses. Washington and New Jersey are lottery experts and Cleveland just sucks so bad. However, we always seem to suck against New Jersey, so we'll probably get 2 out of those 3. But, crazy things happen at the end of the season, so let's assume we'll pick up one of the games against the playoff teams. April prediction: 3-5 Final record: 30-52 Adjusting for the divine interference that will reward me for being a good boy, the Pistons will win 3 more and finish with a 33-49 record.
Pistons are 26-49 right now with 7 games left: @ Boston @ Washington vs New Jersey vs Milwaukee @ Charlotte vs Cleveland @ Philly Only two groups (the 25-29 club and the 30-34 club) are left in the running for predicting correctly.
And to think I failed in my willing the Pistons to 35 wins. I'm such a loser. Maybe JJ was still healthy when I voted.
Jerekbo was injured on October 5. You voted on October 12. Nice try, though.
I knew I had no chance. Did it anyway.
I predict 3.5 wins from here out, which gives the strange victory to the 25-29 club. I hope they are right since we have nothing to play for except for a draft pick.
This is the only remaining drama to the season. 27 and 51 with 4 games to go. 0-4, 1-3, 2-2 means that the 25-29 club clinches. 3-1, or 4-0 means that the 30-34 club sneaks in for the W. We're playing a pretty bad set of teams to finish the year, so 3-1 isn't impossible: 1) Bucks- .410 (32-46) 2) Bobcats- .410 (32-46) 3) Cavaliers- .218 (17-61) 4) 76ers- .506 (40-39) It's April Madness!
TaS, just because you have 30-34 doesn't mean the Taynking won't continue. Give it up.
Rodney won't let them go out like that! He's playing for his next contract now.
I understand the continual brow beating of Stuckey but to be honest; he's playing the same way he has all year and just improving as we had hoped for.
Rodney has played [STRIKE]like a reserve[/STRIKE] very pedestrian on a poor team. His choice to be insubordinate this season can only help his ability to get that off season contract he's been looking for. As long as he's signing for no more than 8 million for 3 years... anywhere...

My main on WoW is a lock.. dps/damage.. I was a hardcore endgame raider.
I'd like to know what characters are mostly needed so I don't choose one thats overplayed.
As dps in wow its harder to run dungeons/raids because there are so many.
Tanks being the most sought after.. is this true in FFXI? I've played all the rolls in wow on my other toons so i'm comfortable and familiar with running raids.. I want to be prepared for endgame content.
Any suggestions?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Alex, Time for another vet visit. Impacted anal glands can be cured/fixed. Fistulas are a bigger problem. Both issues need vet attention.
If it is anal gland problems you may want to consider the following:
Glandex for Dog Anal Glands
Veterinarians and pet owners everywhere know that Glandex is the best way to maintain healthy anal glands in dogs and cats. That's because Glandex is the only product that addresses all of the underlying causes of anal gland problems and works from the inside out to help maintain healthy anal glands. Glandex is a highly effective and proven solution to anal gland problems and the results speak for themselves.
Glandex's scientific formula works in multiple ways to keep the anal glands healthy and is a more effective alternative to frequent anal gland expressing which can further irritate the anal glands. Using a unique fiber blend Glandex helps to create firm and bulky stools which help the anal glands empty naturally every time your pet defecates. Glandex also contains natural anti-inflammatories to reduce the underlying inflammation and allergies that trigger anal gland problems and reduces irritation of the anal glands. Maintaining overall digestive health is a vital part of healthy anal glands and that's why Glandex is also formulated with probiotics to maintain your pet's gastrointestinal health and to boost your pet's immunity. We know that once you try Glandex for your pet you will see that Glandex truly does work! To learn more about Glandex watch this short video.
Key Features:
|GSD Owner in Training :-)
|I hope your vet appointment today goes good and you figure out what the issue is.
|My first thought was the anal glands as well. Def head to the vet as soon as you can.
He could have impacted/infected anal glands. Very good you will get him to the vet - sooner is always better to remember for the future. The anal glands can blow and rupture. For now, I would use warm - not hot - water compresses with a paper towel or washcloth a few times a day, and try to distract him from licking in a nice way.
I had a foster puppy who was on antibiotics and compresses, and vet visits every week or so to keep an eye on his when they got impacted/infected.
If it's not that, it could be fistulas, which are a whole different story, or probably a lot of other things I've never seen. Good luck!
|I should also mention he is up to date on shots. He is 2.5 years old. And weighs 76 pounds.
Anal problems
My name is Alex and my my sweet boy is having a pretty serious problem.
It all started about 3 weeks ago and I noticed him starting to lick his bottom a lot. That happened for a couple of days and then it stopped. Well now this past week, he has had leakage, horrible smells coming from there, and he has licked and bitten so much he has hardly any hair around his tail area. The leakage started off as clear liquid and now it is a dark brown color. After every potty break we bring him into the bathroom and wipe his butt down really good because the leakage continues. When we wiped him this morning we started to notice blood. His bowel movements are completely solid. There are no worms or anything abnormal with his poop. He is eating fine. He is still acting like he does on a normal basis. I just notice he starts to feel bad once he starts licking himself. We are going to the vet Monday morning but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. Any advice or stories help.

2D Layout and some 3D Models
- Details
- Created on 09 November 2010
- Last Updated on 01 April 2013
- Hits: 81744
3D models of the basix, connex, and verdex (not verdex pro) COMs as well as 2D layout files for connector and mounting information are linked here.
Computers-on-Module Layout Files:
Available under a Creative Commons license.
- The schematics may be viewed using Eagle software from CadSoft,
- Free version of Eagle:·available here.
- Licensed version of Eagle:·available here.
Version control and lot tracking
To determine the version of the bare PCB, bill of materials, and manufacturer work order used to build a specific Gumstix COM or expansion board, click·here
3D Images for Physical Layouts
In the Spring of 2007, Gumstix provided physical layout and connector location information via SketchUp and the 3D warehouse visuals, as below. This work was done by a summer co-op student working at Gumstix for that summer only.
The eagle schematics and layout files (.dxf) linked below have the connector and mounting hole locations for the basix and connex motherboards.
As such, dimension numbers can be obtained via the Eagle files or by loading the sketchup files into CAD/CAM software.
Values for depth are said to be "buried in Sketchup" as sketchup has the heights programmed but a review of the details/properties of the sub-part (i.e.. the capacitor) is warranted.
For the expansion board layouts, go to the '.brd' files linked below.
Expansion boards
-·basix expansion boards in 3D
-·connex expansion boards in 3D
-·verdex expansion boards in 3D
3D visualization of gumstix boards
This modeling environment for electronic product designers integrates popular design tools, 3D images, and software scripts to accelerate and simplify the design and visualization of new product enclosures and custom expansion boards by combining 3D gumstix product visuals with Google SketchUp, Google 3D Warehouse and Cadsoft's Eagle™ CAD software.
SketchUp is compatible with CAD products such as Graphisoft® Archicad 10, MicroStation® V8, Autodesk® AutoCAD® Revit® Series Systems Plus, VectorWorks® Architect, DataCAD, Nemetschek, Rhinoceros® and Softech.
Using pre-made gumstix Sketchup models
- Download Google sketchup software.
- Go to the Google 3D warehouse to find 3-D appliance model offerings that are planned to include basix, connex and verdex brands.
- Search on "gumstix" 4. Select a file from the results posted and click "Download to Google SketchUp"
Converting Eagle layouts to Sketchup models Gumstix has published the scripts we use to convert Eagle layouts automatically into Sketchup models. This uses the ULP scripting features of the Eagle package along with the Ruby scripting features of Sketchup to automatically draw and place components on a circuit board within Sketchup. The generated model can then be edited/saved/exported as necessary. The System consists of two pieces:
Eagle ULP program which parses the layout and generates a ruby script encapsulating the components and their positions on the board * A set of Ruby libraries for Sketchup which the ULP-generated ruby script uses to actually draw the board within Sketchup. These scripts, along with further documentation, can be downloaded here (link to come).

Kubuntu & Xubuntu 12.10 upgrade from 12.04?
3 comments:
Why bother fixing something that is not broken in the first place? This is mostly the case with Xubuntu 12.10. Everything is just faster, and looks better. Long story short. Anyway, I would like to see a review about Xubuntu 12.10, because so many things have improved since 12.04. And I know, because Xubuntu has been my main OS since 12.04 release.ReplyDeleteReplies
I have Xubuntu installed since 12.04 was released as well, and quite honestly, other than some minor cosmetic changes, I have seen nothing that justifies the potential disruption of an upgrade, much less leave the stability of an LTS release. In fact, a quick look at the official release notes for Xubuntu 12.10 clearly states how little has actually changed.Delete
Mind explaining that many things that have changed? When you do, please think beyond your personal experience and think of standard users, people who may not be experts and may see their system setup wrecked after the upgrade. Also, think of companies, professionals who favor stability and couldn't care less about a slightly prettier Graybird theme. Last but not least, please explain how those "many" improvements cannot be achieved on 12.04 (through PPAs or otherwise)

Television was one of the most creative bands to emerge from New York's underground scene of the mid-'70s, creating an influential new guitar vocabulary. While guitarists Tom Verlaine and Richard Lloyd liked to jam, they didn't follow the accepted rock structures for improvisation — they removed the blues while retaining the raw energy of garage rock, adding complex, lyrical solo lines that recalled both jazz and rock.

Reviews for Slow-Cooked Caribbean Pot Roast
"This smells delicious as it is cooking. The sauce is very flavorful. The carrots maintain a good texture when cooked, but we were not fans of the sweet potatoes. They turned out mushy, and did not soak up flavor from the sauce."
"It's a keeper."
"Flavors are fantastic. Makes lots of sauce. Serve with rice/potatoes to use up the sauce. Smelled awesome as it is cooking. Highly recommend. It is a keeper."
"I really liked this recipe. It was a little to sweet for me so I added some red pepper flakes to give it a little heat. My family loved it."
"Not your "same old" variation on pot roast--deliciously different. I made this last week and my husband's already asked for it again! Thank you, Jenn, for sharing this wonderful recipe."
"Even my vegetarian room mate was drooling over this dish! It smells wonderfully fragrant while cooking, and tastes delicious."
"For those of us who don't have a slow cooker maybe you could add oven temperature and time of cooking."
"Delicious! I'll make it again but might use less orange."

What legal implecations are there if you accept money?
I would assess each one on a case by case basis - if it's too risky don't do it... i would be interested though in what people charge... i mean it would cost the householder money for a pest controller to come out anyway. One could always write up a service agreement which each party signs - a little formal but potentially worth the hassle
Playing devil's advocate here: that wont work you cant write an agreement that over rules any of the regular commercial law that any service provider or retailer has to abide by. This will apply to your liability as well...you cannot absolve yourself of liability, exchanging money for services establishes a contract that is enshrined in law.
I got told by a friend whose a pest controller yesterday that they charge $150 to go out and deal with a swarm!

CINCINNATI - Sophomore midfielder Meg Bell and junior midfielder Taylor Young recorded career-highs in goals as the University of Cincinnati women's lacrosse team (4-2) defeated the Presbyterian College Blue Hose (1-8) 22-6 on Sunday. UC's 22 goals against PC also set a new program record for goals in a single match.
After a slow first half, the Bearcats exploded out of the halftime break to dominate and control the. Nine different Bearcats scored while the defense allowed just six goals. Presbyterian jumped out to a 1-0 lead five minutes into the match on a goal by Catherine Ellis. Despite the early deficit, the Bearcats put on the pressure. Bell opened the scoring for the Bearcats seven minutes into the match when her shot flew past Presbyterian goaltender Bridget Hogan.
Just minutes after tying the score at 1-1, Taylor Young scored her first goal of the day to put the Bearcats up for good. Twenty seven seconds later, Maddie Fink scored, but the Blue Hose would not go without a fight. Jamie Beamish's goal would pull Presbyterian within one goal, but that was as close as they would get for the remainder of the contest.
Kylie Ramsland scored her first goal of the day on a free-position shot to push the score to 4-2; she followed with another goal four minutes later on an assist from Marissa Pierson. The Bearcats then held their ground defensively, holding Presbyterian scoreless on three free-position shots in the first half; Meg Gulmi ended the first period with four saves.
Ashley Helmrath scored on a man up situation, and thirty seconds later Ramsland scored her third goal of the game to push the lead to 7-2. Presbyterian would end the first half with a goal by Brianne Ward, making the Bearcats' halftime lead 7-3.
Nine of the next 11 goals were scored by the Bearcats. The barrage of goals to begin the second half was a knockout blow the Blue Hose from which would not recover. Kelsey Rupsch and Liz Davis would both score for Presbyterian, but the Bearcat defense held its ground the rest of the match. The only other Presbyterian goal would be scored on a free-position shot by Lauren Lefeber late in the game.
Individually, Ramsland and Bell led all scorers with a game-high five goals each. For Bell, her five goals mark a career-high. The five scores for Ramsland mark a season-high, and one shy of tying her career-high (six goals). Young chipped in with four goals of her own, tying her career-high. Marissa Pierson, Katie Kiriazoglou, Maddie Fink and Ashley Helmrath each netted one goal for the Bearcats, while Sarah Del Bene and Courtney Curtis each scored twice. Goalie Gulmi faced 15 shots, made four saves and allowed five goals. In the second half, she gave way to Jennifer Walsh who faced five shots, made three saves, and allowed one goal.
The Bearcats outshot Presbyterian 38-20, marking the second most shots in a single game in program history. Cincinnati also dominated in draw controls in the second half, winning 14. On free-position shots, the Bearcats scored on 4-of-7 shots, while holding the Blue Hose to two goals on six chances.
Next up for the Bearcats is a trip to the nation's capital to take on the Georgetown Hoyas in their first BIG EAST contest of the year. The match is set for 4 p.m. Friday, March 22.

The Sunscreen Experience
There's a reason that this has been one of my favorites for years, and the real answer is not that it makes me feel pampered! This is a great sunscreen. It is creamy and silky but sinks pretty much immediately into the skin. About two minutes after you've applied it the only clue that it is there is a very faint smell of sunscreen. I've never had an issue with feeling sticky using this sunscreen, even after multiple layers! It works for both my body and face, which is unusual (unless I state that a sunscreen is ok for face, I only ever use that sunscreen for body). This is a very non-irritating product for me.
I have applied makeup over this product as well without any issues.
Kiehl's is not as hard to find as you might think! You can order it on-line from the Kiehl's Website, buy it at a Kiehl's Store (I have one in my mall here, you likely have one near you as well), or at many department stores. Near me there are Kiehl's counter at Neiman Marcus, Bloomingdale's, Nordstrom and I think Saks also has a counter. All of those stores also sell Kiehl's through their websites! No excuses about not finding it.
As well, this product is available in SPF 15, 30 and 40. I have found no differences between the formulations, which has been a problem with different SPF values in Neutrogena products. Personally, I have a ton of this product in SPF 40 at my house.
The Verdict
A great option for an everyday sunscreen, this is also a great product for those days that you know you'll be spending more time in the sun!

3 juveniles arrested after stolen vehicle pursuit
MISSOULA, Mont. - **Update**
One of the suspects involved in a stolen vehicle chase told investigators he saw the owner of the vehicle sleeping in a bedroom before he and two others took the keys from inside her house and stole a 98 Jeep Wrangler from the garage, according to the Missoula County Sheriff's Department.
"One of the suspects described going upstairs and seeing this female sleeping in bed," said Missoula County Sheriff's Detective Jason Johnson.
Deputies say three juveniles, ages 17, 17, and 16, and all on probation, first stole a 2005 Honda minivan in the early morning hours of February 5. They reportedly crashed the van a short time later in a ditch on Blue Mountain Road.
The three then reportedly broke into a residence in the area and stole several items, including a credit card and car keys, before stealing a 98 Jeep Wrangler.
7 minutes later, deputies were able to spot the stolen vehicle, and after a pursuit down Reserve Street involving spike strips, they were able to arrest the three suspects.
"These were kids out looking for trouble, and they found it, and we're just pleased that they were apprehended so quickly," said Johnson.
3 juveniles are in custody after reports of a stolen vehicle led to a vehicle pursuit down Reserve Street early Tuesday morning, according to the Missoula County Sheriff's Department.
Detective Jason Johnson said a resident from the Blue Mountain area reported the theft of a 98 Jeep Wrangler at 5:22 a.m. Tuesday.
Responding officers became involved in a chase that led them down Reserve Street and ended with the arrest of 3 juveniles, Johnson said.
Unofficial reports say the stolen vehicle hit several other vehicles, including some law enforcement cars. The chase closed down part of Reserve street in Missoula.
Our partners at KGVO radio also have unofficial reports that police eventually used stop strips to stop the suspect.

ODP (Olympic Development Program) - Region I and Beyond
87 comments:
That club does have a problem promoting its own.
The DOC is a national scout. He promotes his kids that aren't really more than strong regional players. He also recruits from the training center using natl camp recs as an incentive. Rumor has it that if a girl lives within two hours drive of his club, she won't get national unless she joins. But, he'll shun fantastic players should they ever extricate themselves from an abusive coach.
Nothing ever becomes of his kids past high school. That's really all the proof you need.
- September 8, 2016 at 5:42 PM
Hahahaha. Yes, I think that is a rumor. There have been kids that are not on that Club are within an hour's drive and HAVE been invited to national camps/teams.
Not sure what you mean about fantastic players being shunned. No one shuns fantastic players. The business of soccer is success. Fantastic players bring success and other fantastic players. Not knowing and just offering another explanation, maybe the fantastic player referenced really wasn't all that fantastic in comparison to truly fantastic ones or maybe that fantastic player failed to shine when being evaluated due to nerves.
- September 8, 2016 at 9:26 PM
@5:42 - My kids play for that Club and love it.
- September 8, 2016 at 10:12 PM
Not really. He's been demoted, so maybe some new are coming through the new head.
Wanting to or believing you are doing what makes you win is not the same as actually accomplishing it. He very stupidly shunned a real superstar. He did so thinking his team was the only real option for her and he would be able to ruin her, banish her to an inferior team, or make her knuckle under. She went to PDA. And yes, like follow like, she took a couple with her. Trying to influence parents or kids to not report coaches is considered as bad as the abusers, nowadays.
Another unintelligent belief they have is that they can predict which kids will become standouts. They use criteria that are the exact opposite of what research shows. Really, its who is the most advanced at this point in time.
So many that they spotlight have minor physical problems like unequal leg lengths. Watching some of their teams you wonder if it is soccer or a physical therapy group.
When they crash and burn, they quickly forget their predictions and dump the girl. Really, a phys ed major or an A license doesn't make you a Ph.D. in physiology.
-Their teams rarely place near the top of even local ECNL brackets.
-Their natl players never go on to be Herman trophy nominees, WNT, or pro
-Kids they jerk around too much end up at much better clubs.
So the facts don't match your fantasy, er, eh, I mean theory.
What will happen next year when PA Classics opens its academy and all the Lancaster girls go there? It's the beginning of the end.
- September 9, 2016 at 2:06 PM
Wow. This is youth soccer.
And, not sure you are aware of this but the local ECNL brackets are the top in the nation (hence the top 4 teams getting DA's). Not every kid enjoys every team they happen upon. I am quite sure that the club will survive w/PA classics getting an academy as well. Obviously, the kid you referenced had a bad experience. Not every team is a comfortable fit.
And, there are kids in the college system currently through them and in their system that very well may be on their way that may be Herman trophy nominees, WNT and pro.
I don't follow you re the leg length reference, but it sounds like you were making fun of a kid possibly with a disability. Kind of cruel.
- September 11, 2016 at 9:07 PM
Whoops. Sorry, I meant any club will survive another club getting a DA. Plenty of soccer out there. I am not sure which club you are referencing specifically. And, it doesn't matter. Many kids don't have good experiences and need a switch; hence the try-out merry go around.
- September 11, 2016 at 10:13 PM
Dude, how many clubs have WNT players? Not YNT but you are saying FWNT? That club hasn't been in existence that long. PDA is probably the most notable there; kudos to them and the great club they have built. Pros? Similarly, the ECNL hasn't even been in existence long enough to really impact that population.
What they have done recently? Three national champions ship kids who got serious minutes in the college cup last year. I think the current high goal scorer at UVA -just getting into that program much less real minutes like 2 of their former player frosh are right now is a huge accomplishment. The VA Tech kid is also getting good time. Look at the commitments totally respectable. The college ranks is the metric for youth clubs, not WNT or Hermann trophy winners (really?).
Shouldn't "strong regional players" get a shot at national camps what's the issue there? The leg length thing is really low and no idea to what that was referenced. Sounds like someone didn't like that their "real superstar" didn't get a national team invite. News flash, the national coaches do not invite players based solely on one scout's recommendation. Your kid wasn't good enough during the small period of time during which she was evaluated for inclusion. Also the head US scout in our area is a PA Classics coach. Where are all of the Pa Classics invites if politics is the golden ticket?
I heard there was a nutty 2003 family...probably driving the PDA folks crazy now. It's clear that 206 is the parent or one of the follower wanna bees of the "real superstar". Keep the dream that she will be a full WNT player or a Hermann trophy winner, but don't disparage coaches coaches and clubs in the process because they didn't value your player as much as you did.
- September 12, 2016 at 8:28 AM
Perfectly put. You obviously had more insight.
I just know that my kid loves that particular club, the coaches, the kids. And, she didn't have a good prior experience elsewhere. But, I would never put that other club down because they are good, but just not a good fit for her. I chalk it up to part of the soccer maturing/learning process. Hopefully these people will learn that as well.
- September 12, 2016 at 12:08 PM
Unbelievable and disgusting.
Recently, in the news, friends and family of an abuser in trouble with the law tried to recast his crimes as mutual intoxication and promiscuity. They "didn't quite understand" his victim, but yet made completely unsupported unflattering characterizations.
Here, a discussion about protecting and covering up for coaches in trouble with the law is being recast as one about a child's poor soccer development experience. Someone "didn't quite understand", but yet made completely unsupported unflattering characterizations. A few others posted in the interim.
Sound familiar?
Doesn't fly outside your echo chamber, anymore.
- September 12, 2016 at 12:38 PM
Huh? Nothing of the sort was ever mentioned. Dr. Temple's number is referenced above; maybe an emergency consult?
- September 12, 2016 at 4:49 PM
What are you talking about? Are you saying this discussion of letting "super stars" go has some basis in a cover up for illegal activities? Because that is per se disparagement. Better be true if so because if not he and the club should file suit against you.
- September 12, 2016 at 6:33 PM
Agreed. Some extremely outlandish stuff here from 12:38.
And, the Dr. Temple reference was for him/her. Get yourself some counseling. A soccer blog isn't going to help.
- September 12, 2016 at 10:28 PM
So let me just leave this right here before any final call backs or pool announcements are made.
Maryland ODP folks made some adjustments this go around for the 2017 State ODP tryout selection process, which is an encouraging sign. While there is no prefect system to combat the widely perceived "rigging" of the system with some of the players selected in the past, I am pleased to see some of these changes put into place.
With the 2 call back system in place, that gives the coaches additional time to take a good look at the players before announcing a final pool. However, there is still a huge perception issue with at least one of the head coaches who always seem to have major pull with this organization over the years. This said head coach is a life long ODP coach, making the rounds in VA and Region 1 in the past. He somehow boasts about getting HIS pool players on Region 1 teams, but when you do some research, coincidentally, most of these players are kids of other coaches who either, was or is affiliated with a club team he headed up at some point.
The optics with this head coach is widely discussed in the soccer community, and curious to see how this year shakes out with his pool players. At the very least, head coaches with these perceptions should not even be part of the tryout selection process, and just have to work with the final group the assessor coaches have deemed to be the best of the lot. This would seem a bit more transparent, but not completely free of "tinkering".
- September 13, 2016 at 1:14 PM
Interesting. Thank you for the update. I'm an ODP fan and it's good to see that programs are trying to get in front of this stuff. Will be interesting to see what happens when DA's start.
- September 13, 2016 at 2:35 PM
Bill Cosby called his accusers liars and crazy. He has tried to sue one. It got short circuited by his indictment.
"The case has been voluntarily dismissed at this time due to the pendency of the criminal proceedings in Montgomery County, PA, which impede Mr. Cosby's ability to fully participate in litigating the civil case"
"abusers will do whatever they can to intimidate and weaken their victims to force them to stop fighting."
Someone who already has a rap sheet probably wouldn't try it.
- September 13, 2016 at 6:48 PM
Is this idiot back again? Ugh. Go away troll. How were the MD ODP try-outs?
- September 13, 2016 at 10:27 PM
What in the world are you talking about? I get it the coach didn't like your kid as much as you do. Looks like the 03 team is doing pretty well without her and her/your "friends"

Oh, this troll again. Get some counseling. And there have always been overzealous parents, too. Hence the new legal trend to sue parents. Here is a sampling of those pending in various jurisdictions. https://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/i-am-a-parent-defending-a-defamation-lawsuit-in-ma-1863439.html
Nonetheless, this is an ODP soccer blog. I am hopeful that people will post how their ODP try-outs are going.
- September 18, 2016 at 4:54 PM
A very recent article in TIME magazine. So, don't feed the troll. Let's continue our talk around it.
- September 18, 2016 at 5:24 PM
Okay read that article. It's full of ranting and clearly has a political bias, but agree we should ignore those posts. Done deal.
On with ODP and try outs; team announcements and other wonderful ODP items. What are the turn outs like?
- September 18, 2016 at 10:59 PM
You can see the remaining NUMBER of candidates for NJ ODP on their website.
Age group numbers seem to have been cut about in half in the first phase. Next phase workouts are Nov/Dec
- September 19, 2016 at 11:36 AM
EPYSA callback pool rosters expected in about two weeks with final team rosters expected on or about November 18th.
- September 19, 2016 at 1:23 PM
How did EPYSA tryouts look? There is usually fall off in numbers and quality as the kids get older.
- September 19, 2016 at 5:08 PM
VA District pools were named in August and they are training now. Good numbers of players across the State. The State tryouts will be end of November/beginning of December, with the State pool named in mid-December and starting off that training in January.
- September 19, 2016 at 9:02 PM
EPYSA has the numbers up through U15, then the numbers drop off as expected.
- September 19, 2016 at 10:31 PM
EPYSA ODP callbacks announced today and available at http://www.epysa.org/odp_tryout_callback_rosters_released/
- September 30, 2016 at 12:47 PM
In Va is the quality high or has it dropped off?
- October 7, 2016 at 9:12 AM
After u15 i think they go down to one team at each age sonot surprising it falls off. Also a lot of kids who didnt make it to regional camps drop out because the state program isn't very good. Also the committed kids who don't hope to get a look at national camp also drop out since they don't need college exposure.
- October 14, 2016 at 1:24 PM
EPYSA call backs went well. Good weather lots of kids. quality with regional kids back looking solid. Better than last year actually. Lots of ECNL kids. Interesting that.
- October 17, 2016 at 12:42 PM
EPYSA tryouts completed on Saturday. Bethesda took a bite out of participation numbers. Results expected within two weeks.
- November 13, 2016 at 7:09 PM
EPYSA ODP tryout results posted by name on the EPYSA website.
- November 18, 2016 at 1:30 PM
Huge range of players from top ECNL to B teams.

Congrats to the ODP players that are participating in the current Interregionals in Boca Raton, FL and the boys that are playing next week. Many coaches in attendance, including US Soccer and some very good games.
- November 22, 2016 at 8:12 PM
ODP still gets the top college programs to come out and root on the kids. It's a tradition that will continue on and may even become stronger in light of the DA's and only a few slots to fill. The kids really enjoy it. These are kids that are all soccer junkies. They get to meet and play with and against new kids that share the same passion about the sport.
This is from one of the Boca webpages: "The Olympic Development Program has always done a great job preparing players to play at the next level," University of Michigan head coach Greg Ryan said. "The focus has been on development. You bring the best players together. They get to play with new players. It's very much like what happens at college. They leave their club teams and friends they've played with forever and have to join a group of new friends and find out how to play together very quickly."
- November 23, 2016 at 1:37 AM
@ 9:12
VA ODP numbers are still pretty high.
- December 28, 2016 at 10:22 AM
New Jersey ODP is so unorganized.
- February 26, 2017 at 6:30 PM
Sure was of compared to Virginia ODP! I applaud VA! Looked like teams were bused in together, ate together and engaged in team building activities. Not sure about the other states or 6:30's Jersey team experience, but my Jersey girl enjoyed the weekend.
It was organized enough for us.
- February 26, 2017 at 7:13 PM
Just attended the ODP friendlies and it was completely worthless. Our state association does not cut players and does not have an A, B, C team structure. They have the best players playing with kids that do not play club soccer. Short team financial gain for the association, but most of the talented kids are quitting. ODP is not what it should be, it's a money making scheme.
- February 27, 2017 at 1:34 PM
1:34 - Did you stop to consider that perhaps your State's ODP program has the "best" players play with kids that do not play club soccer is intentional to see if the kids that perhaps have not yet risen to the top, or have not had the opportunity to do so, have the potential to be developed to do so? VA Friendlies is an assessment tool, it is not supposed to be an ultra-competitive tournament. So-called A, B, and C teams may not even be established based on order of strength.
7:13 - You may be thinking of EPA teams, not VA teams. EPA kids traveled and roomed together (no parents), which is part of the off-field behavior and maturity development and assessment process.
- February 27, 2017 at 2:13 PM
VA teams all room together and bus everywhere for the weekend -- parents drop them off at the field Friday and pick them up Sunday, but they stay and travel as a team in between
- February 27, 2017 at 4:09 PM
@1:34 Who was more disappointed? You or your child?
- February 27, 2017 at 5:55 PM
@5:55 - to be 100% honest, both of us were equally disappointed.
- February 28, 2017 at 12:14 PM
New Jerseys tryout process is longer then the actual season! Why? To collect money?
- February 28, 2017 at 1:25 PM
I wouldn't say that NJ ODP was unorganized for Virginia. The whole process from tryouts to Region 1 Camp is unorganized.
- February 28, 2017 at 1:34 PM
@1:34 I would agree. NJ ODP paid the last Director of Coaching, Mike Petke over 100k for the season for what? He didn't add anything to the program. If anything it seems like it declined.
- February 28, 2017 at 1:41 PM
Tough Crowd in Jersey. What made the experience "unorganized"? For us, information was communicated in a timely manner, updates sent to address additional details, coaches were on fields when stated they would be.
I can understand being frustrated with being teamed up with less skilled players. Confused about the unorganized comments..
- February 28, 2017 at 3:55 PM
Dates and times are organized but the teams are not organized . How are teams not selected by now?
- February 28, 2017 at 6:58 PM
The program overview specifically states why they changed the team selection process and tryout phases. It also explains why the VA Friendly would be the last evaluation before teams are selected.
Two more weeks and teams will be announced.
- February 28, 2017 at 8:49 PM
@8:49 Yes, it clearly states that it is about keeping players involved to bring in more money. Why not pick the team earlier and train players that are going to compete in the Region 1 Tournament?
- March 1, 2017 at 8:26 AM
Not from NJ, but how much earlier would you suggest 8:26am? The Region 1 Tournament is 3+ months away. Why wouldn't they want to evaluate their players over a weekend with 3 matches to really see what they can do and how they might contribute to the team at a certain position. You seem to be wanting to throw kids away too early. Coaches may see something in players that an untrained parent's eye does not, or coaches may want to see how those players can step up and fill a need. I don't know when the NJ ODP selection process started, or whether you have regular training between now and the Region 1 Tournament, but it seems like a good idea to use the Friendlies to get a final, best look at all the players.
- March 1, 2017 at 10:38 AM
@8:26 Ok.. although I think your thought is cynical, I did chuckle when reading it.
Skilled coach-able intelligent players can quickly adjust to new teammates and style of play.
Development is messy - Success is not a straight line. I'm sure if your kid had a an off tryout day early in process you would be more appreciative of the extra phases. Then consider... Some players look amazing in small sided training games, but put them on a big field and they fizzle with little impact to team. Other players prove themselves to be more dynamic in a competitive match.
- March 1, 2017 at 10:54 AM
The tryout process for NJ started in the summer. It consisted of 4 tryout dates, 6 training sessions and 3 games in Virginia. Thats more sessions then all the practices they will be getting if they make the team. You should be able to select the team in half that time. Unless your objected is to keep more players around to collect more money.
@10:54 You stated "Some players look amazing in small sided training games, but put them on a big field and they fizzle with little impact to team. Other players prove themselves to be more dynamic in a competitive match" Then just have them play 11v11 earlier on in the tryout process. Simple fix!!! Nothing cynical in my thoughts. BTW - I did get a chuckle reading your naive comment.
- March 2, 2017 at 9:06 AM
9:06 is clearly an @-hole.
- March 2, 2017 at 2:35 PM
VA also starts in the summer -- 2 tryouts in August to select 5 geographic District pools. Those District pools train for 8 sessions in the fall. Then those players have 2 tryout sessions in Nov/Dec for the State pool. The State pool trains for 8 sessions over the winter (outdoor). The Friendlies is the last event until 2 more training sessions in May before the Region 1 ODP Tournament. The tournament teams don't get selected until right before those last 2 sessions.
It's interesting to compare how different each state runs their program.
- March 2, 2017 at 3:39 PM
@3:39. The NJ 03's and 04's are similar VA. The first open tryout was 4 session - 1 per district ($40). The second phase ($50) is like VA's District pool. Select players invited to 3 more evaluations in their designated district. The final phase ($100) select players invited back for 3 training sessions and VA Friendly ($150). Not sure about the orther age/gender...04 girls didn't play as 'district teams'. 3 positionally balanced teams.
VA had more training sessions. How much did VA cost? How were VA friendly teams choosen? per district? Or position?
- March 3, 2017 at 6:10 AM
@ 6:10 VA District training is $335 for eight training sessions and two additional State ID days that VYSA calls inter-district scrimmages. The players are ranked at the district level and evaluated at the inter-districts for entry into the State Pool.
State Pool is another $345 for eight training sessions leading up to the VA Friendlies. There are two training sessions leading up to the ODP Region I Tournament. VYSA has their own training facility which are fantastic playing fields.
VA Friendlies are $330. The teams are housed together, eat together and are transported to and from matches throughout the weekend with the exception of Friday. State association polo shirt also has to be purchased which is $38. Teams at the 04 and 03 level are equally distributed. They tier the teams for Region I ODP Tournament for 02s and above but not sure if they are tiered at the VA Friendlies yet.
There is also an international trip for 03s and 01s this year to Germany which is $3100. The international teams played together for the VA Friendlies with the exception of the players who were rostered for the 03 Region I team that played at the Friendlies.
Region I Tournament fee is roughly $330 to $345 but they are also bused to the event, housed together and eat together.
- March 3, 2017 at 8:19 AM
Thank you 8:19 for explaining. Much more different from NJ than I originally thought.
- March 3, 2017 at 8:48 AM
For VA, teams for VA Friendlies are generally not tiered even for the older ages. Coaches try to balance the teams. The exceptions are the international teams that 8:19 mentioned, and 00G had their roster for the National Championships play together for the Friendlies. It makes sense they would use those matches to prep for this weekend.
I assume the boys side was similar.
- March 3, 2017 at 9:28 AM
Good discussion. There are many players who use ODP to gain "select" level experience and exposure while still trying to maintain a "soccer-life" balance.
- March 3, 2017 at 5:19 PM
I agree with a lot said. I have had two boys in the NJ program. Its tough to compare NJ with VA just because of the size of the state and their proximity to academy programs. I would have to agree from my experience that the teams should be picked a lot earlier or just have the tryout at a later date. There must be a reason for keeping the extra players involved for a longer period time wether it would be to create more revenue or to make people happy to come back. If my sons had not made it in the past, I would not have been upset but would probably like to have had them join another additional program earlier on, instead of being dragged through a long tryout process.
Not all the players attend all the events and still make the program. A year ago a player on my sons team attended one tryout in the summer and the last two in April and still made the team. It would be interesting to see if VA would allow. (Please don't get mad with my thoughts, I saw earlier someone else get mad at an earlier post from someone for no reason)
- March 3, 2017 at 9:47 PM
The reason to have an extended tryout is to keep players involved. Wether that is to make money now or to have them think that they are close to making the team so they return next year to try out to pay more money.
- March 4, 2017 at 10:10 AM
I disagree the motive is to make more money.
- March 4, 2017 at 11:09 AM
3/1 - 10:54 - i disagree. the skill levels are so far off it can be very hard for a skilled player to play with someone who doesn't know how to make a run, get to a laid off ball, etc. I know they are friendlies so some of it is to see how the talent will work together as not everyone has to play in the Region 1 tourney (unlike the friendlies were everyone plays).
And, the refing was worse than high school. If soccer wants to improve anything, start with the refereeing. Payments should be based on performance. I don't mean outcomes, but correct calls. They should be mostly correct not mostly incorrect. Can't teach and develop the kids if the refs don't know either.
- March 6, 2017 at 12:58 PM
Hey 12:58 - do you have anything positive to share?
- March 6, 2017 at 4:40 PM
4:40 - hilarious. Where were the comments when people were calling the program a money grab? Do you call those positive? Oh wait, are you a ref?
- March 6, 2017 at 7:44 PM
4:40 - it's me 12:58.
Yep, I think it's a wonderful experience and the kids and the coaches are great.
And, thank you 7:44, my thoughts exactly.
- March 6, 2017 at 7:49 PM
How great is this?
- March 6, 2017 at 9:14 PM
Its not an elite program if you have to pay to tryout for it.
- March 7, 2017 at 10:28 AM
@10:28 - I have had a player in the NJ program for a few years. My son enjoys it so I continue doing it but I agree that players should not be charged to tryout. Lets just say they have about 1,000 players tryout for both girls and boys, and they charge $50 a player just to tryout, thats $50,000. Surely thats cover way more then all the tryout expenses.
- March 7, 2017 at 11:45 AM
Agreed. It should be the cost of a try-out shirt w/number, like $10/$15.
- March 7, 2017 at 12:13 PM
I also agree. If you are supposedly looking for the most talented players, you might be pricing them right out of the tryout. Where is all that money going to?
- March 7, 2017 at 1:03 PM
The money probably goes to paying ridiculous salaries like Mike Petke's salary last year.
- March 7, 2017 at 1:09 PM
First year with player trying out for NJ ODP. Have the state team and pool emails gone out already? Previous stages the invite emails were received about week before numbers listed on website.
- March 8, 2017 at 9:07 AM
Who knows. That part of the program is so unorganized.
- March 8, 2017 at 11:27 AM
So my son made the NJ ODP team again. But I don't understand the purpose of the program other than just an additional place for him to play. Considering that there is no longer a link between the Region 1 ODP team and US youth national teams, it seems like it is no longer an identification program. Does anyone have any more information they can share with me on that. If that is the case I don't see any reason for driving him an hour to practice each way for 10 to 12 practices when he can do supplemental playing closer to home. Additionally, my son really enjoyed his coach last year, who seems not be involved anymore with NJ ODP, and doesn't really like his coach for this year.
- March 20, 2017 at 12:06 PM
Hasn't Us Soccer said they will be looking at many different venues for players?
I think this would include the games played at ODP level.
"Supplemental training closer to home" sure isnt getting him seen
Regional team looks great on a collegiate player resume.
- March 21, 2017 at 4:52 PM
To the previous comment:
There is no connection between US Soccer and ODP anymore. And US Soccer does not look at ODP games for players and this includes at the regional level.
College coaches aren't selecting players on their resume!
- May 3, 2017 at 8:16 AM
That isn't true
There is extensive national scouting done at the ODP thanksgiving interregional. The ussf sends a u14 or u15 national "team" to play in the u16 bracket. Last year the u14 won all games except for a 4-0 trouncing by our region 1 team. One of those kids was invited to national camp at least in part as a result of her success in that game.
- May 17, 2017 at 8:47 AM
It is just another place to play, that is all it is. Slight resume builder perhaps but no college coach will care about ODP over what he sees with his own eyes.
- May 23, 2017 at 10:15 AM
- Charlie said...
ODP needs to get back to focusing on development. I feel they are trying too hard to make money. The money will come if you continue to focus on the best training possible. I feel things have improved since we first started. It's going to take a few years for things to get better.
Thanks! Charlie - www.Soccerhotspot.com
- May 25, 2017 at 4:17 PM
5/17 - 8:47 - regional stuff is outstanding. Getting a full team of high level players in some states is a problem now; especially at the older ages. Many doing ECNL or Nat'l League and don't have time for ODP/state. What will GDA do to ODP? Any of those kids and there are a lot, can't participate.
- May 30, 2017 at 9:04 AM
Charlie is spot on. ODP is now focusing on quantity over quality of participants which in the long run will decrease the numbers not raise them. Most of the good players in our area have already quit due to the lack of competitive sessions because of who they let in the program. ODP should not be for everyone. That is what rec soccer is for.
- May 30, 2017 at 3:41 PM
My prediction is that ODP rises up as a real college ID platform once again.
Top ECNL boys and girls will be looking for another venue in which to distinguish themselves as they eschew the DA for HS soccer and ECNL.

How about this for a recommendation for next year's ODP program for MSYSA (MD):
All age group head coaches should have at least a USSF B license (yes higher licensing matters)
All age group head coaches should have experience coaching in more competitive regional leagues
More inter State friendlies to increase competitive playing environment

|I'd personally roll with the 160 for your size, your a lot bigger than Jeremy so it would make sense that you ride a bigger board. A 160 in pow is so easy to throw around still and you won't have to worry about float with the bigger size.

As for riding like a bigger board, they dont have the effective edge of a longer board and the only way you can increase the surface area of the board is by width. So when you cut through all the hype its just a wide board.
You have to consider if you want something that will hold a good edge on the hardpack, a board with full rocker forward of the bindings is never going to be as good as one with camber out in front like mine does, then add the long powder nose and the board is getting long, theres nothing you can do about it.
If you value the performance on hardpack as much as you do in the powder you find yourself needing a longer board. If you are prepared to have a rocker board from the front foot forward you can basically start the rocker nose profile a lot earlier and end up with a shorter board like the hovercraft. But I still dont know why the inserts are forward of centre? Id love someone to explain that one.
No. I don't agree with you.
HC holds a carve almost as well as my cambered Arbor A-Frame. And that thing can carve ice if you want to. Besides you will need it just to cut the groomer to your next pow stash or lift. You ride a pow board on powder days right?
The nose floats on flat, I can't manage to get stuck with that board, and when all is done and slashed the bigger flexy nose smashes the slashed snow like an icebreaker. you don't even notice it even with tired legs.
I don't know why they placed the inserts where they did..ask Jeremy? I'm pretty sure he knows what he's doing..All I know is that rides like a dream.
Absolutely love the HC. Got it used from this forum... best deal ever.
|My nug has a surfy feel in deep pow
|Etm you should do a birdman review after a couple of days on it. Its a skatebanana with a extra foot of nose. The nose doesn't touch the snow so it should ride groomers like a fun freestyle board. Switch too. I am very interested. I have a 165 snowmullet which is the best board I've every rode. With rocker between the feet it pivots from the middle in pow making it more nimble than shorter cambered boards. Switch pow butters for days. Then cranks turns and pops ollies on the firm. Its funny that tapered boards get a bad for groomer rap, where I think they rip groomers. I'm sure that the hover keeps the nose out of the snow, but in 3D snow that tail helps out when you lean back coming out of the turn, a longer pow board gives a more surfy feel, short board is more slashy.
|FWIW, I've been riding a HC for 2 year now & loving it! Since, pretty much thats I all ride now. I'm a few years shy of 50. I'm 5'7" 150lbs, I've ridden pow boards that are 164cm long, they're great in pow but suck in the trees. That is where the HC kills it! I have the 156 and it can float like styrafoam in 3-4ft of pow and turn on a dime in trees. I ordered mine from Salty Peaks board shop in Utah, they're an awesome small shop with a great selection of pow boards. Give'em a call, they have an 800 toll free number, very knowlegeable and friendly!
|One guy bought a new board and the inserts didnt have any thread in them
|Yeah the metal piece on the tail basically came off mine, but they gave me a brand new board so that was alright. The new board seems to be holding together so far. I heard a lot of stories about inserts in the wrong place last year, and other manufacturing issues. This year I haven't heard much other than my own warranty story, and it wouldn't stop me from buying another Jones board.
|you can't say that until the season is over and there were less warranty claims. and at this point there have already been lots of issues with 2013 stuff. It's mostly the splits though. but didn't the tail fall off yours or torpedo's?

Re: tacking angle

Re: tacking angle
As stated by others, the answer to the original question really depends on the boat, the sea state, etc. Typically in light air you wouldn't be TRYING to point as high as possible, at least not until you have built up some boatspeed.
The boat's keel design is a large determining factor. My current boat has a pretty conventional deep fin keel with a pretty big chord length, (the fore-aft measurement) which makes it very forgiving. It will start to develop enough lift to start to point at relatively low speeds. In higher wind ranges it points very high. My last boat, on the other hand, was a high performance racer with a very deep narrow chord fin with a bulb. That keel required much higher speeds in order to start generating lift. In lighter winds I could not even think about pointing with other boats in the fleet until I got moving.
As for shoal draft keels, there is just no way a shoal draft boat will be able to point as high as a deep draft keel. Two identical boats, one with shoal one with deep, and the deep draft boat would KILL the shoal up wind every time. The shoal draft just doesn't have the surface area to generate the lift.
Re: tacking angle
As we said several years ago, each boat responds differently to different conditions, and optimum trim will vary according the the boat, the conditions, the crew, and the skipper. Everybody's right at some point. Whoever wins the race is right more often.
Re: tacking angle
Originally Posted by RichH View Post

Re: tacking angle
Agree with the first part - disagree with the second, that you bear off more with increasing wind speed. You only bear off in relation to the true wind not the apparent wind. The apparent wind changes more at low ws and relatively little at higher speeds.
Re: tacking angle
Let me put this another way. The faster you go the more you will 'bear off' when beating to hold a perfect/precise set/trim in accordance to maximized aerodynamics as indicated by perfect flowing tell tales. This effect is very apparent on planing hull sailboats and iceboats when they are 'accelerating' to faster speeds.
Simple trigonometry when applied to dynamic acceleration or increasing speed of the *boat*. The same is true for in increasing wind strength/velocity
Re: tacking angle
Agree the slower you are going the more leeway, which can offset the theoretically better higher vmg from pointing higher if in fact there were any advantage at a particular point of sale. The gps is showing actual course made so 8 degrees difference is significant.
I think the original thread confused angle to the apparent wind, with tacking angle. One might sail at 30 deg AWA and that is related to the angle of the wind on the sails. There can be a difference in curvature on the luff for different wind speeds so that angle may vary somewhat with windspeed. That is the luff might be tighter in higher wind so you could point higher as the curvature is less. But that depends on sea state you might not tighten it if waves are slowing you and you want more powerinstaed of pointing a bit higher. But then you might have excess power so can point higher. It depends.
But if you are pointing at say 30 AWA your angle to the TWA will vary depending on windstrength as the wind increases the wind effect due to boat speed increases less relative to the true wind. But in a lighter wind the apparent wind may move more ahead so that if you maintain a fixed angle to the AW you are actually sailing at an increased TWA.
Since the windward mark is in the direction from which the true wind is coming in lighter winds you are in fact sailing at a larger angle to the true wind even if sailing by say the windex you are sailing by the AW. You will therefore tack through a greater angle than if the wind were higher.
If the AWA is 30 you are not tacking through 2 x30 but maybe 80 relative to the true wind or even 110 in lighter winds.
In lighter winds therefore although you may keep the same apparent wind angle in fact since the awa moves ahead you are sailng at a greater angle to the true wind as you pick up speed.
I don't know how clear that is as it can be difficult to get one's head around it.
Re: tacking angle

My compass on the bulkhead and heading on the gps is very close. When I'm sailing upwind sometime I get as much as 8 degrees difference. I'm not sure if it's a matter of just design or my sailing skill and sail trim. Ready to learn.
No matter how much skill the skipper has, a sailboat can't be competitive if it has a foul bottom and can't generate speeds that are comparable to it's competitors, so your first priority should probably be to make the bottom smooth and fast. Then, work on sail trim, boat handling and helmsmanship, and practice, practice, practice. Also, volunteer to crew for other, experienced racers, and watch how they trim their sails and handle the boat, and you'll learn fast.
Re: tacking angle
With reduced wind flow velocity - the higher you can 'point' ... several factors combine to make this happen.
1. the relative speed of the boat vs. the relative speed of the oncoming air ... creates a slightly larger 'relative' amplitude 'upwash' of air flow in front of the boat - for higher angle of attack relative to the 'true' wind.
2. the 'slot distance' between the jib and main is (should be) more closed or reduced in light winds vs. higher strength winds ... giving a boat in light winds a higher 'angle of attack' relative to the 'true' wind because the clew can (should) be closer to the boats centerline than when in 'heavier' wind as well as better 'aerodynamic dumping velocity' (bootstrapping) between the jib and main. You precisely adjust the 'slot distance' in accordance to the output of the speedo (and forget or ignore any so-called 'backwinding' you see in the luff of the main) .... max speed is the goal when adjusting how far open or closed that 'slot' is. Of course your sails are perfectly trimmed and shaped (all tell tales flying 'perfect') and with VERY slight 'weather helm', before you adjust the slot-open distance to get MAX. SPEED/VMG out of the boat when beating!!!
For the case of the shoaldrafter and pointing ability, you have several things against you:
1. a shoaldrafted boat will more easily skid to leeward (helmsman erroneously blaming 'weather helm' because of the side-impact of water against the rudder due to the normal skid) .... so, the position of maximum draft of both sails has to be 'more forward' AND the wake coming off the stern is at an angle of no more than 2-3°. The usual 'set up' is to get MAX. speed out of a shoaldrafted boat when attempting to 'beat' (to maximize VMG) by having a near 'dead fish' / neutral helm with *VERY* slight helm pressure and by checking the stern wake (turbulence caused by the keel and rudder ... is coming STRAIGHT off the stern, not any appreciable angle .... get that boat MOVING instead of skidding to the lee (for better VMG!!). With a near dead-fish helm you will consciously have to work the wheel/tiller for the boat to go 'upwind' and not constantly 'bear off'.
Also you will have to learn how to 'turbo sail' : Footing Off - SailboatOwners.com .... post#12 and this also applies to deep fin keelers who want to 'fly' their keels.
2. You're simply not going to get that shoal draft keel to develop very much LIFT to weather, in comparision to a deep fin.

Susan G. Komen® created the I AM THE CURE.® program to boost the educational outreach of the Komen Race for the Cure® Series by motivating Race participants to take an active role in their own breast health. I AM THE CURE.® is a rallying cry that is emotional, memorable and motivational. It speaks to the importance of early detection, and provides simple, action-oriented messages that Race participants can put into action.
On Race Day
On Race Day, you can visit our interactive I AM THE CURE.® booth to learn more about breast self-awareness. You can spin the wheel for prizes and 'take-home' educational information. You'll also see our Rovers in the bright pink and green I AM THE CURE.® shirts; they'll be sharing the message of early detection and will reward you for your participation. All throughout the Race, you'll hear our 'Cure Leaders' cheering on Race participants and reminding everyone that we all have the power to be part of the cure!
The four key messages we want Race participants to remember are:
The I AM THE CURE.® program is a visual, engaging and powerful way for us to reach every Race participant with the important messages about proactive breast health. We hope you'll be empowered to share this knowledge with friends and family – encouraging them to commit to positive breast health practices as well
For more information about the I AM THE CURE.® program, breast health information and ways that you can personally get involved, please visit iamthecure.org. The iamthecure.org microsite can be accessed in English and Spanish, and it provides a variety of tools and resources to equip you with the important knowledge about proactive breast health. If you're interested in learning more about volunteer opportunities at our Race, including becoming an I AM THE CURE.® volunteer, please contact us or visit our Volunteer page. The I AM THE CURE.® program is ideal for volunteers of all ages seeking to get involved in the Komen Race for the Cure®.

Fabric seems to go through the wash and come out looking real good even with the worst of soiling.
Great shirt!
Reviewer: Craig McCurdy (Silverlake, WA)
When I got my shirt I tried it on and it fit right. That is one of my biggest problems from ordering online,so I will re-use sites like this one to order from.

I supervise teachers in a private adult academy in Korea. Yesterday we had a blind student register in one of our intermediate conversation classes.
My teacher is asking me for advice on how to deal with this and I don't know how to advise her, being that I've never done this before.
Most classroom activities come directly from our company-written textbook, and if she can't read or see the pictures then I'm at a loss for how she can effectively participate in class. I should also mention that our classes have a maximum of 12 students.
Lucy, can you give me some tips? I'd really appreciate anything you might have to help.
