South Shore Select is ranked #1 in Region 1. What can you be making fun of them about???
Lyon is ranked #1 in NJ and Midfletown #4.

PDA parent here that went to SJA tryouts and loved them. Looks like they are really pulling a great program together for a promising U12 fall girls team. I am going if my daughter makes the team. The coaching was involved and on point. Girls welcoming and involved. Looks to be s very challenging year soccer wise and that's what we are looking for. Good work SJA !! Wasn't sure you were going to do. Now I'm hoping to jump aboard.
- May 1, 2015 at 10:59 AM
10:59. You must be an SJA parent trying to promote your team. Pda is light years ahead of SJA. If your daughter plays for pda she will have no problem making that team although I don't understand why she would want to. They are a bunch of mosa players with a few skilled players. They have no style and play kick and run. The coach will tell you himself that they play a direct style (kick and run). They can not put two passes together. They will also have trouble adding any quality players in the future.
- May 1, 2015 at 12:14 PM
No your wrong.. I'm with PDA now and not happy coach has no personality. And I doubt any coach would say that. Believe what u want. They beat us by putting passes together.
- May 1, 2015 at 12:22 PM
Folks remember there are a few different PDA teams at this age. Doubt this person's daughter plays for Lyon. That coach is excellent.
- May 1, 2015 at 1:22 PM
12:22 in guessing your daughter plays for pda shore which is just the toms river town team with pda on the shirts. They play kick and run like SJA. My daughter has played both teams and trust me there is no passing with either of these clubs. They both boot the ball up field and never work out of the back. Why anybody would pay good money for this is beyond me. Do yourself a favor and find a club that teaches kids to play possession soccer. These kick and run teams will fade out in another year. They will have a hard time competing against properly trained teams. Don't be fooled into thinking a team is good because they win playing this style.

Good luck to the teams
- May 3, 2015 at 12:34 PM
I actually know the parent talking of moving to sja from PDA & they are ABSOLUTLEY RIGHT. And the club team you tAlk of that put PDA on their shirts beat academy teams time & time again including Lyon in TRFC Memorial Day tourn. Maybe if shore got what they were promised & didn't get fooled & lied to things would be different. We were a better team as a club team. Our club team did not play "kick & run". Our coaches & trainers cared about our girls. We have gone backwards. We "drank the koolaid" on this one. Hindsight is 20/20.
- May 3, 2015 at 3:14 PM
Looks like the pda shore experiment didn't last a year.
Sounds like their are many unhappy families.
- May 3, 2015 at 6:58 PM
I don't think Lyon played in that tournament. Maybe Lyon Blue. If you don't understand the difference, you should not be posting about it.
- May 4, 2015 at 6:41 PM
No I understand the difference clearly we beat Lyon as a club team & haven't seen them since bc they are usually playing u12. The last I saw them play in a tourn at u11 was the PDA tourn. By no stretch of the imagination do I think what has happened to our team now do I think we could beat them. At the beginning of merger just about a year ago we beat Lyon blue now we lose to them. Shows a lot of progress & development????? I clearly know the difference btwn the PDA teams.
- May 4, 2015 at 11:34 PM
And I specifically remember a comment made by a mother on Lyon after beating them 2-1 as myself & my daughter walked past her that we would've never beat them without our goalie & the rest of our team wasn't good. My daughter was in tears. I sent her to the car & walked back & Gave this mother a piece of my mind.
- May 4, 2015 at 11:38 PM
11:38. Sure you did. You must get paid to bash PDA.
- May 4, 2015 at 11:51 PM
Yes I'm being paid to bash a club I have my kid play on that makes sense. No I'm paying and getting nothing in return THATS THE PROBLEM so if you see it as bashing PDA than call it what you want. There's plenty of great teams & coaches from PDA....we are not getting what was promised
- May 5, 2015 at 2:11 AM
Leave PDA Shore, Toms River had a pretty good team to begin with. People get all caught up with the name on the front of the jersey, some parents have to have their kids at PDA. PDA is not the only game in town and until people realize that, they will continue to milk you.
- May 5, 2015 at 7:05 AM
2:11 Did you discuss your concerns with PDA mgmt or the coach? Would think that would be the place to start. You also have the option for trying out with another team. Plenty of awesome teams in the area. If you hate PDA so much, just leave.
- May 5, 2015 at 7:56 AM
Does anyone know why PDA was removed from GOTSOCCER rankings, PDA Lyon and Lyon Blue?
- May 5, 2015 at 9:06 AM
PDA Lyon Blue is ranked 25 in NJ, I didn't see PDA Lyon
- May 5, 2015 at 9:34 AM
They are showing up in the U12 rankings. This always happens with PDA teams in the spring. Someone in the club must go in and roll their date forward in GotSoccer which screws their ranking up.
- May 5, 2015 at 9:39 AM
Yes trying discussing it w those at the top every question was answered w a question. I was like it was scripted. There's a part of me that wants to go straight to mike oneill but I'm leaving it's not worth the aggravation.
- May 5, 2015 at 10:04 AM
The Middletown Sonic Dynamite U-11, soon to be U-12 team is holding tryouts:
Monday May 11 & Wednesday May 13 from 6:00 - 7:30 PM at
Fairview Fields 3 & 4. Our team competes in the EDP League, NJ State Cup, EDP Cup and many high level tournaments.

PDA only cares about their top team. B & C teams are just funding the club. TRFC got screwed and now we're paying for it.
- May 7, 2015 at 1:01 AM
1:01 - why not form your own team, hire an excellent coach, reserve training facilities and show PDA how it's done?
- May 7, 2015 at 6:20 AM
6:20....you think like myself & a handful of other parents do. Problem is the core of our team is split about walking away. They are stuck on the promise, the PDA letters, the opportunities that the club will offer blah blah blah. The girls have been together for half their lives we were trying to keep them together but bc the parents are split on the decision it looks like that won't happen. But showing PDA how it's done is exactly what we want to do & plan on doing. Even if only 4 or 5 of us leave.
- May 7, 2015 at 3:10 PM
This takes the cake, and that is saying something.

I like cake.
- May 7, 2015 at 9:46 PM
How was the PDA Lyon tryout tonight?
- May 7, 2015 at 9:56 PM
Parents are the epitome of what's wrong with
youth sports today.
- May 7, 2015 at 10:06 PM
Kids team not winning or playing all that well is not solely on the program and coach. Who shows up for tryouts, development level of each player, how team gets along and supplemental training will also have a great impact on how the team is performing. Don't get me wrong, coach matters immensely but they can only do so much with the talent that shows. If you truly believe PDA is the problem, move on. Based on their tryout attendance, they have a deep pool of replacements to pick from.
- May 8, 2015 at 6:20 AM
Biggest problem with coaches today is that they let their desire to win impede the development of their players.
- May 8, 2015 at 9:40 AM
So very true.
- May 8, 2015 at 4:20 PM
Good luck to all teams playing state cup this weekend.
- May 8, 2015 at 8:57 PM
SJEB East 5
PDA South Barcelona 0
- May 9, 2015 at 11:26 AM
Barcelona will rebound we are a tight unit, our girls play better on turf .It was alot closer than score.Sjeb will play or elite team tommorow
- May 9, 2015 at 11:46 AM
PDA Lyon 3, Middletown 0
PDA completely outplayed them. Would have been worse but M'town goalie made some nice saves.
- May 9, 2015 at 11:48 AM
You are a tight group alright, all 12 or 13 of you.
Please stop with the score should have been closer. We should have beaten you 8-0 today.
- May 9, 2015 at 11:56 AM
Gotta love the humility of some of the parents on this forum!
- May 9, 2015 at 1:27 PM
These posts are not from PDA or sjeb parents; these comments are from a classless human being that obviously was not present for the games and is trying to get people fired up.....Pathetic!!!!!
- May 9, 2015 at 1:50 PM
Anyone know outcome of Voorhees vs U10 PDA team?
- May 9, 2015 at 4:24 PM
As good as they are technically, and as well as they are trained, no way they beat Voorhees.
- May 9, 2015 at 4:28 PM
Voorhees squeaked by 2-1
- May 9, 2015 at 4:41 PM
Go PDA Strikers! Always nice to see a team play up and do well. Congrats to both sides. 2-1 against Voorhees is a great result.
- May 9, 2015 at 4:46 PM
11:56. You can do all the talking you want after tomorrow's game. Make sure you get plenty of rest.
- May 9, 2015 at 4:49 PM
The team my daughter is on has played all the good teams other than Lyon. Very impressed by the Strikers, and they keep getting better. That is going to be a special group. They get beat playing up, but they are very technical and play the game the way it should be played. as good or better than Lyon age wise IMO.
- May 9, 2015 at 6:09 PM
"as good or better than Lyon age wise IMO."
They were very very good in the state cup but to claim being better than Lyon may be premature because of the big field. You may not be factoring in the importance of overall team speed and goalie on the big field.
As technical as you are, there is not speed everywhere on the team like there in on other of the elite, elite PDA teams.
By the time you get to the big field, Coach better have found additional speed at tryouts and a US or Regional level goalie before you can say you are better than Lyon IMO.
- May 9, 2015 at 7:55 PM
Ok Striker parent nice team Lets
Just leave it at.
- May 9, 2015 at 7:59 PM
@7:55 pm a special group ya ok if the fathers don't kill each other and rip apart all there teammates, talking about teammates and other parents would be a great team for dr.phil
- May 10, 2015 at 8:21 AM
Hard for an outsider to know about team chemistry, I was just commenting on what I see on the field. God forbid anyone compliment another team on this board.
- May 10, 2015 at 8:50 AM
It's funny how you all cry about Lyon! It's more of a laugh that your best players show up to our tryouts all humbled and wide eyed! Then I start crying with laughter at the fact we send your little Alex Morgan to our B team! Hysterical!

10:42 are PDA fees that much more than other clubs? They do offer financial assistance for those that can't afford the full fee. Not sure what "best team money can buy" comment comes from?
Congrats to PDA Lyon. Well deserved win against some tough competition.
- May 10, 2015 at 12:24 PM
What was the Lyon-Barons score?
- May 10, 2015 at 12:42 PM
Lyon won 4-0. Barons had 3-4 shots on goal, Lyon pretty much controlled the whole game. 4 different players scored and defense was solid. Looks like they had a more difficult time with Middletown yesterday.
- May 10, 2015 at 1:24 PM
What was Middletown score?
- May 10, 2015 at 2:02 PM
Voorhees-Crush result?
- May 10, 2015 at 2:03 PM
Middletown looked tougher than SJEB but that team won't exist in 1-2 years. Town teams can't keep it together. Even voorhees is not the same as a year ago. Get ready for womens academies in the near future because there is money to be made.
- May 10, 2015 at 2:40 PM
Middletown score was 0-3 vs Lyon
This team may end soon. They are posting on here for tryout info. Not to mention one of their star players has been at many MFA practices and tryouts.
- May 10, 2015 at 3:58 PM
Heard Lyon didn't take anyone from tryouts.
- May 10, 2015 at 4:07 PM
Not true about the lyon
Try outs there will be some
call backs to train with the
Team next week after the that
the decision will be made at
That time.
- May 10, 2015 at 5:06 PM
How many girls got call backs for Lyon and Lyon blue team? I heard only a couple.
- May 10, 2015 at 5:33 PM
We hope We don't have any Middletown players joining our team. Nothing against the girls, we just don't to associate with any of their parents. No class.
- May 10, 2015 at 5:37 PM
No money in the women's game, that is why if they do academies it will be interesting how they pay for it. The USWNT wins the cup, that movemeny may have trouble keeping momentum.
- May 10, 2015 at 5:37 PM
Where are the other girls from that got call back from?
- May 10, 2015 at 6:50 PM
Only the coach knows.

So PDA wins the 11 V 11 state cup and all the PDA parent is worried about is what Middletown is doing?
- May 11, 2015 at 6:48 AM
I think it's more about Middletown parent worried if her kid made Lyon.
- May 11, 2015 at 7:11 AM
Why would a star player go to MFA? That makes no sense at all.
- May 11, 2015 at 7:15 AM
SDFC has their tryouts posted on this blog, are they in trouble?
- May 11, 2015 at 7:46 AM
"Why would a star player go to MFA? That makes no sense at all."
1. A year from today the MFA team will be better than most in the Monmouth Ocean area. Yesterday the U13 MFA with mostly MOSA girls won the state cup.
2. A year from today the Pre-ECNL team will be out of Raritan and kids from great town team will be fighting for the one or two spots available.
3. Not every kid on town teams like Vorhees, Middletown or Marlboro are from those towns. They have no allegiance to that team. Just as they were recruited to leave their own town teams to join yours, it is now happening to them again because they are good.
- May 11, 2015 at 8:12 AM
BTW - All these supposed negative posts making PDA out to be bad people supposedly concerned about Middletown or whatever are really coming from nervous Middletown parents try to make it look that way.
In my experience MFA or PDA parents care nothing about other teams. You see nothing on here about SJEB or Marlboto etc. That is because it's probably people afraid of the end coming so they bash a MFA or PDA so bad as to scare the star player from leaving. I'll bet the administrator can confirm that...
- May 11, 2015 at 8:21 AM
The person posting as a PDA parent is probably a PDA Lyon Blue parent upset that her child can't make Lyon so she is trying to stir the pot.
- May 11, 2015 at 9:35 AM
9:35. I don't think so. You're probably just a sad, angry parent who lost a state cup match this weekend. Good thing your kid didn't make PDA, otherwise you would know that Lyon and Lyon Blue parents are a tight knit bunch of good people. Might want to steer your kids to dance. There is a reality show that you would be a star on.
- May 11, 2015 at 12:43 PM
I want to clarify I'm not a PDA or Match fit parent. With that being said all top level jersey soccer players will eventually look to be playing for an ecnl club. That does not mean other town teams will not be competitive. If you feel your daughter has what it takes in no way will these clubs not be happy to welcome you aboard. There are 100''s of talented players in the area. Unfortunately there are only a limited amount of spots on these teams. Good luck in whatever direction you may choose.
- May 11, 2015 at 12:44 PM
Why so bitter PDA parent? Such anger and vile coming from you. Just know, you will be the reason your daughter doesn't succeed, you are a terrible role model. I am going to laugh my ass off in a few years when the rosters changes and you are left out in the cold.
- May 11, 2015 at 1:01 PM
If my daughter is happy and doing well at a non ECNL club, why should she look to move. What is the end game that only the ECNL club can provide and why is it even a thought at this age.
- May 11, 2015 at 3:14 PM
i love this. this is good drama. you people are all nuts!
- May 11, 2015 at 3:26 PM
IF your eyes are on the "prize" (not sure it really is a prize) of collegiate soccer, it will be argued that ECNL league is beneficial.
- May 11, 2015 at 4:24 PM
Real question, no sarcasm.
Can a Town team go to the national tournaments? If so what are the benefits of playing for SJB or an other big name as opposed to a team close to home with a legitimate trainer/coach? If such a team exsits? Please don't go on a bashing rampage, just looking for real information here.
- May 11, 2015 at 7:14 PM
Of course they can. Bigger clubs make it easier to get in those tournaments because of the sheer number of teams they bring make them more attractive to the tournaments. PDA, MatchFit, NJ Wildcats, NJ Stallions, SDFC, Continental, lower Merion and even younger clubs like Real and NJ Rush have an advantage because they can bring several teams. It can happen at the town level though as long as the team established itself early. For instance, as long as Voorhees stays together, they will always be accepted to any tournament they apply for. The same goes for a few other town travel teams. The hard part is staying together because you'll always have the bigger clubs drawing these kids away.
If your daughter gets a on a high level town travel team and enjoys it AND you're getting good training from a professional trainer, than stay put.
- May 11, 2015 at 8:43 PM
This is what a blog should be
nice info to read.Lets keep lt
Up.This blog should be used for
advise not bashing.
- May 12, 2015 at 1:04 AM
I agree with the above poster but NJ Stallions should not be in the same category with the other clubs. The doc is a maniac and from what I heard, has been fired from every club he's worked with and from the looks of it, seems to be struggling with his current status with stallions since they only have 4 teams. They don't even have a u11 team
- May 12, 2015 at 4:02 AM
Funny that you say that, his reputation is over the top nuts from parents in that program. Very good older teams, but seemingly a club in decline.
ECNL is the highest level of play, but not the end all be all. Also, we have no idea if the talk of structural changes with calendar year and academies is real or just talk. If your kid is an elite player they can move to one of those programs at U13 or U14, you have to be truly elite to move after that. Colleges will find you, no matter where you are as long as you don't hide.
Key now is to make sure you put your kid in a good program and they have fun. Good programs at this age don't chase got soccer points and don't sacrifice growth to win.

Goal Keeper looking for a new home. Looking to play U11 or U12 EDP 11v11 next season. Does not have to be an A level team. For keepers more touches helps in the long run. She is an extremely strong player. Keeping our options open. I do not like the direction her team is heading. I know most tryouts are over but I figured I would give it a shot. South Jersey area home field would be nice. If interested just repost with an email address and I will reach out. Also, just to end any confusion she did make her team for the fall, which is a VERY high level academy team.
- May 12, 2015 at 11:05 AM
Would say pick a team that's convenient travel-wise for you and give them a call. Most teams are always open to evaluating dedicated goalies, regardless of official tryout schedules. Good luck to you. You mentioned South Jersey - try SJEB. They appear to be well organized.
- May 12, 2015 at 11:25 AM
curious on what others have to say:
do you feel being on an academy team is enough to develop your daughters soccer abilities?
My opinion is the academy route provides the level of competition needed & the exposure but the "work" still needs to be done on your own. This is assuming the basic ability is there and that one wants to achieve the highest level.
- May 12, 2015 at 12:09 PM
Couldn't agree more 12:09. Keepers in the area are few and far between. The keepers I know practice with trainers privately. Most clubs don't offer training for keepers till around U14.

- May 12, 2015 at 5:36 PM
12:09, agree no way to become an elite player with 3 hours of training a week. I'd guess most players are doing 2x that or more plus games. You have to watch burnout and each kid is different. Important to have some down time in the winter and summer, and especially the summer because the break from your team can be way to short. In the winter teams train together, but at this age you get 4 months away from the in season training.
- May 12, 2015 at 8:15 PM
And so it begins. The great town teams of U11 begin to stumble
Girls from Vorhees training w SJEB and PDA South, Girls from Middletown at MFA training,PDA training and NJ Wildcats training. Girls from Marlboro at MFA and NJ Wildcats. Bergen Bulldogs heading to NJ Crush...
What town teams do your daughter's play for and what club/academies are they trying out for / training with?
- May 12, 2015 at 11:48 PM
And there we have it, 11:48 becomes the troll of the day to try and stir the pot. It'll get better as he starts answering himself.
- May 13, 2015 at 6:05 AM
11:48, there are no actual town teams on your list. Players changes clubs, who cares.
- May 13, 2015 at 7:45 AM
Long live town (or at least town-like) teams!
- May 13, 2015 at 9:08 AM
My daughter practices twice a week with her team and plays at least 1 game on the weekend and sometimes 2. She also does training one day a week outside her team. She would play everyday if she could, but we try to giver her 2 days off per week.
- May 13, 2015 at 11:26 AM
exactly the same, 5 days of soccer is enough. Occassionally she'll do 6.
- May 13, 2015 at 11:31 AM
Multiple sports has been helpful for my player. In her case LAX - lots of fitness, agility, enjoyment of learning something new with different girls. Some girls on her team also run track which is great for fitness.
- May 13, 2015 at 11:41 AM
i have been noticing the pattern of multiple sports in viewing the current women on the US National team. Same also applies to many male top soccer players (and others over the years). While soccer may be the primary sport the others provide the body movement, agility, fitness and hand /eye coordination that the best athletes possess.
- May 13, 2015 at 11:54 AM
PDA north acceptances are out.
- May 13, 2015 at 7:49 PM
Not to get into a PDA pissing match, but offers and some acceptances were made and accepted after the first tryout.
- May 14, 2015 at 7:17 AM
ok so my other post seems to have disappeared....yes i am very cognizant of burn out, i am constantly asking my daughter how she is doing and is she having fun, so far so good.
We do train a lot bought with the academy team, one our own and with outside group. If she goes out and just plays with the ball i don't count that training per se....sometimes we just fool around in the kitchen but a lot of our down time is soccer related.
How about the rest of you?

It goes to show you that every club has flaws. Just go to the one you feel most comfortable with. Anywhere from PDA to a local town team. Just make sure your daughter has a good experience.

Who cares who made what team... Come fall lets see who put the best team together. Settle it where it all belongs! Many new teams entering the 11v11 EDP league. Going to be a great season..... When the so called "BIG" teams go head to head this hysterical blog/post will be a buzz. Oh, and to figure out who the BIG teams are is pointless till the fall. Everyone have a great end of season, enjoy a few weeks off. This blog is not going anywhere. The fun will begin again come September...
- May 15, 2015 at 9:34 AM
9:34AM...... Good point! I would like to see what the smaller teams did. Hearing rumors that many of the academy teams have been stealing trainers from the smaller teams. Offering incentives. Funny thing is, most of the academy trainers also train the smaller teams on the side for some extra beer money.

Agree with above poster. I can't say from experience but have heard many things about the club and ownership and from what I now see with their better players trying out for my daughters team, guess they are not doing anything right.
- May 15, 2015 at 3:28 PM
Wow, $3200? That's a lot more than most other academies. What is the coach's name?
- May 15, 2015 at 11:49 PM
3200 is more then PDA and Sjeb that is crazy...is Bergen a academy or town team...I know they played Sjeb east today anyone know how that game went
- May 16, 2015 at 11:54 AM
50% more than MFA.
- May 16, 2015 at 2:25 PM
SJEB won 3-0.
- May 16, 2015 at 6:08 PM
TSF also charges around 3200. I think that's too much.
- May 17, 2015 at 12:21 PM
Mf (and others) will have add ons so that cost is misleading. Pay to play tournaments. Winter extra.consider that base.

Middletown 1 SJEB 0

Sjeb out played Middletown...one shot on net and Sjeb should of had 4 goals just couldn't get the ball in the net that is soccer any team can win on any day congrats to Middletown.....
- May 17, 2015 at 4:29 PM
No need for "sour grapes" comments here...
- May 17, 2015 at 5:33 PM
Middletown is the better team
- May 17, 2015 at 6:51 PM
How is Middletown the better team one shot on goal all game...Sjeb had the ball on Middletown side more just didn't finish it happens I don't think Middletown is the better team...they have one really good player that's it and just hope she gets a goal and play the rest on defense learn the game then talk
- May 17, 2015 at 7:05 PM
So Barons are the better team yet couldn't score one lousy goal on the inferior team. Do you realize how bad your logic is? Just like the teams that out shoot another team 15-2 but lose 2-0 and "dominated the game". Parents are so delusional.
Why was this game played anyway when Barons play 11v11 and Middletown 8v8?
- May 17, 2015 at 7:33 PM
I love when the team that lost claims to be better, if you were better you would have won.
- May 17, 2015 at 7:59 PM
Parents please relax its just a game
and on any given day you can win or

Have most clubs given offers for next year yet? My daughters hasn't and people are antsy
- May 18, 2015 at 10:38 AM
Yes I know most have given out offers already. I know PDA is done.
- May 18, 2015 at 2:28 PM
There are some clubs that have not sent all offers.
Hope it works out for you and your daughter.
- May 18, 2015 at 3:09 PM
2:20, I understand that. Other reason they are less is that they play less games and don't chase points.
- May 18, 2015 at 4:57 PM
So is there any info on player movement at PDA? Did they add any great players? How about MFA? Going forward is their southern team going to bet he ECNL or the northern groups? Did they add talent?
- May 19, 2015 at 12:17 AM
Nobody cares about MFA. Stop fishing for information. Worry about your own team and not others. You need the work. All your teams at this age are terrible.

"So is there any info on player movement at PDA? Did they add any great players? How about MFA? Going forward is their southern team going to bet he ECNL or the northern groups? Did they add talent?"
PDA added several players to the age group. This was the year to get in. No way they ever ADD 9-10 kids ever again to this age group in one try-out season.
- May 21, 2015 at 12:19 AM
You're obviously talking about PDA north right?
- May 21, 2015 at 6:08 AM
Never say never. If you read this blog, you would have thought PDA was set and didn't need or want anyone else. Times they are a changing.

They drop & add kids like they are seasonal employees. And just like in any club there are politics involved.
- May 21, 2015 at 10:49 AM
All depends on who shows up at the tryout.
If a player shows up that is better than yours, well, see ya'.
More and more folks are willing to make the drive.
- May 21, 2015 at 1:04 PM
"Never say never. If you read this blog, you would have thought PDA was set and didn't need or want anyone else. Times they are a changing."
The tryouts - with over 90 girls - had some serious talent so I'm not surprised North added players.
- May 21, 2015 at 2:35 PM
90 kids did not show up for the south & the shore....if both those areas want to build a team like the north they shouldn't be adding & dropping kids. Let the kids start to mesh together & learn to play together. Keep some well trained coaches that want to be there & train girls at this age & see what happens
- May 21, 2015 at 3:56 PM
Pda south had alot of quality girls coming out for our team.We will be a btter team than we are now in fall.
- May 21, 2015 at 7:59 PM
7:59 seriously? I guess if you keep saying it maybe you'll start to believe it. Everybody knows what's going on at PDA south, no need to try and fool anyone.
- May 21, 2015 at 8:24 PM
Thought PDA north was only taking 3 new girls. How could they have taken 9-10 new?
- May 21, 2015 at 11:00 PM
This blog is funny. You spend most of the year bashing PDA and then get all concerned about who they added. If your daughter didn't hear by now, she didn't make the team.
- May 22, 2015 at 6:33 AM
Once again people are clueless. No one on this blog thinks PDA is a bad organization. They have quality teams and good coaching. Their problem is their parents, they are stuck up and delusional with little actual soccer knowledge. Maybe if the parents were a little humble, the hatred would subside.
- May 22, 2015 at 9:27 AM
PDA South has a couple of top players from Fenix. A few more might be added in the future.
- May 22, 2015 at 9:55 AM
I know a few PDA Lyon parents and they are a good group of parents. Not sure where the negative posts are coming from.
- May 22, 2015 at 10:35 AM
Stand on a sideline with them and you will see all you need to see.
- May 22, 2015 at 10:55 AM
Now it sounds like you are just upset your team loses to them. I doubt they are making comments to your team. Beat them and then maybe they won't say anything.
- May 22, 2015 at 11:49 AM
It has nothing to do with winning or losing. It has to do with understanding the game and being respectful that these are 11 year old girls competing. They just come off ass classless and entitled.
- May 22, 2015 at 1:04 PM
Well, PDA parents do spend one of the highest fees for the season.
They are a bit entitled.
(I know, there are much more expensive places.)
Classless, neh. At the most competitive levels the adults tend to get upset if parents cheer for the other team with vigor.
The adults get sensitive. A lot of the time the kids on the field couldn't care less. Or even notice.
There are some exceptions to the rule but they don't paint the picture for all parents of any club.
Heck, it isn't like they get a special class in how to be as obnoxious as possible on a touchline. Hehe
- May 22, 2015 at 1:40 PM
ok parent manager, I'm sure Lower Merion kids are just lining up to leave a top level team for PDA South.
- May 22, 2015 at 2:07 PM
Lol that's real funny!!! Top level to
Low level.

Interesting factoid: EPYSA doesn't have 11 v 11 until u13.
In the Keystone State, top players have to move from local clubs to an ECNL at U12 to get it. Typically, they do this in packs to ensure the team they're creating is as successful as they on they left.
So, over yonder, in the Birthplace-of-America, the Daughters of Ben have a long tradition of transforming those pre-pre U12 ECNLs to something dramatically better than their U11 predecessors. They care not what the track record beforehand was. It's all about who else is coming.
Whichever nearby ECNL gets the bulk of the top players from this group will be a strong contender. The first ones are headed to PDA.
So, unless a calorically challenged NJ head of state blocks the Ben Franklin Bridge, this is happening.
Another interesting factoid: The river they will be crossing is called the Delaware.
Denial is a river in Egypt.
- May 24, 2015 at 6:22 AM
6:22. Maybe they can backfill the void with Middletown players. Parents would fit right in with South Philly crowd.
- May 24, 2015 at 8:43 AM
You must be referring to PDA North as there are no ECNL teams in South Jersey nor will there ever be. South and Shore are just money grabs because some people will always believe that three or four letters will somehow make them a superstar.
So no we're calling U12's "pre-pre ECNL"??? ECNL doesn't start till U14, so just relax.
- May 24, 2015 at 6:04 PM
- May 24, 2015 at 6:05 PM
ECNL in 2015/2016 is requiring their clubs to participate in ECNL events at U12 as they did with U13 this year.
- May 25, 2015 at 12:29 PM
Correct but ECNL teams don't start until U14.
- May 25, 2015 at 3:14 PM
You are correct, but I think that is splitting hairs. If ECNL clubs are designating Pre-ECNL teams at U12 and U13 and they are playing in official Jr ECNL events. I assume for PDA Lyon will be the team at these events. For MFA, not as clear as I understand they will have two teams with the Pre-ECNL designation.
- May 25, 2015 at 3:58 PM
When I read this blog, it's kind of like listening to charlie Browns teacher.
- May 26, 2015 at 1:12 AM
Will all change next year, 2016. New age change will be in effect. Half these girls will be 2004 and the others 2003. The ones with advantage in past will be at disadvantage. This will be a messy transition, but better off now then later. I have a older daughter at u14, this age group will really be effected because of college recruiting. I was told this weekend by Doc that this is happening at start of fall 2016 season.
- May 26, 2015 at 9:31 AM
Very talented players are not only strong because of where they fall due to an arbitrary age cut off. Changing the age cut off will effect some rosters but talent is talent and will make a great contribution to whatever team they are on.
The one year window is too narrow anyway. A two year or larger window would allow for much for effective grouping of players based on ability rather than simply age. As it is now and will be in the future, with a one year grouping, very talented payers will have to continue to play up to seek a challenge and appropriate skill and speed of play level.
- May 26, 2015 at 11:00 AM
No it isn't changing next year. Even if it did, it's only if the girls development academy gets started. Even then it would only apply to the development academy teams like it is on the boys side. So in other words at this age, PDA Lyon would change their age dates. Lyon Blue, PDA Shore and PDA South would stay with the current date structure.
- May 26, 2015 at 11:57 AM
Hope you guys are right. Going to be a mess. As of right now, US Club is on board with change so I assume that means all teams when they do it. I don't like it when they put soccer development ahead of kids/teams/fun, and that is what they are doing here. Kids naturally want to play with their classmates and this ends that. This age will be impacted the most. Younger ages have time to transition, and older ages are fine because physically the kids have almost all done their growing. U11-U14 is tough because there can be so much physical development in just a year. In the end it is just a game and the kids who work hard and play hard will be fine.
- May 26, 2015 at 12:30 PM
The cut off is arbitrary so it does not really matter where you put it. Right now, the US is not aligned with the rest of the globe. There are many advantages to getting to know kids outside of your classmates in school. Kids (and plenty of parents) could use some practice at social skills, group dynamics, etc. Plenty of girl drama i have seen could be minimized with some basic instruction and follow through about how treat other human beings.
- May 26, 2015 at 12:53 PM
This may be a dumb question, but I'd bet the average team at this age is half 2003, half 2004 or around there. The 2003 kids will go from U12 to U14 and not play U13. That is true for all ages, so half the kids will skip a level. What happens to the kids who will be U15 in 8th grade?
- May 26, 2015 at 1:47 PM
They will play U15.
- May 26, 2015 at 2:43 PM
Half the team will be in HS and unavailable in the fall.
- May 26, 2015 at 3:14 PM
They will be two teams next year - 2003 and 2004 for this age group.
Nobody loses a year - just placed in you age year team.
Some of the older girls may be challenged, because they will be now competing for spots against some of the best girls from current u12 teams.
- May 26, 2015 at 3:20 PM
Would it surprise anyone if the composition of the best teams right now, Lyon, etc is around 90% 2003 kids.
- May 26, 2015 at 3:44 PM
@3:44pm. It wouldn't be a surprise, it is actually the norm. That's how you win at "jungle ball", pick the oldest, biggest and strongest kids and you're set to dominate.
- May 26, 2015 at 4:05 PM
Lyon's biggest and best player is 2004. This board is a cesspool of lies and most posters are imbeciles - like the one who posted the question at 3:44, then his own answer at 4:05. Think about how sad you life is...
- May 26, 2015 at 5:21 PM
May be far less disruption than people think. My guess is most of the better teams are 80% or more 2003 kids. Some are probably 95%
- May 26, 2015 at 5:22 PM
Nobody said they didn't have 2004 kids, they said the roster is probably around 90% 2003. What's the big deal? It does not take away from anything they have accomplished if that is true. Team has wonderful players for this age group.
- May 26, 2015 at 6:14 PM
What's funny is you're wasting your time posting about SOMETHING THAT IS NOT HAPPENING!!!
- May 26, 2015 at 6:32 PM
This is happening.
I saw that sdfc was able to beat breakers at delco, the team Lyons can not beat.
- May 27, 2015 at 7:28 AM
Breakers is not the team Lyon lost to, it was South Shore Select. Carry on.
- May 27, 2015 at 7:52 AM
Anyone can win or lose a game. SDFC should play Lyon directly, and play them a few times too.
- May 27, 2015 at 8:21 AM
632 - this will happen.
- May 27, 2015 at 8:50 AM
what percentage of girls will be on the PDA 2003 team/2004? Sounds like you will have a very good team if your older girls have solid players in 2003 too. Will clubs like Crush and sdfc and other premier clubs go this way as well? What happens in tournaments and state cups? I would assume the PDA, MF and WC ecnl clubs will just play their younger age groups in the older brackets so they are age group eligible.
- May 27, 2015 at 10:24 AM
It will eventually happen but as stated before, it will only be for the girls development academy teams, not the whole state. Some of you are so clueless.
- May 27, 2015 at 1:44 PM
There is no girl's development academy at this time.
- May 27, 2015 at 1:52 PM
"This is happening.
I saw that sdfc was able to beat breakers at delco, the team Lyons can not beat."
PDA Lyon beat Boston Breakers West 6-0 at the PDA tournament. SDFC beat the 1-0.
They also beat Boston Breakers Elite(east) 3-0. So by your math PDA Lyon would beat SDFC around 5-0. SDFC beat a B team - Big deal!
- May 27, 2015 at 10:05 PM
Since you're not paying attention, let me help you out. SDFC beat the West team in round robin play, they beat the EAST team in the finals.
- May 28, 2015 at 5:46 AM
Well...isn't that special
- May 28, 2015 at 6:49 AM
So SDFC does well in a tournament and immediately the PDA parent gets involved saying they didn't beat anyone. You are a loser, a complete loser. People like you ruin sports for kids, I feel so bad for your daughter.
- May 28, 2015 at 7:22 AM
According to the PDA schedules/results from the PDA tournament, PDA Lyon (not Lyon Blue- I know the difference) beat both Boston Breakers teams (east and west) 1-0 and 1-0, not 6-0 and 3-0. Where did those inflated scores come from?

This is my first digital painting made gimp 2.6.11
After 4 days
This is really good!
If you could keep posting snapshots, i would be really pleased!
Can't see anything wrong with the shadows, except from the tree second to the right (excluding the one going horizontal).
It has to little shadow/contrast, makes it look wierd.
This is looking awesome, keep posting updates.
Ok, I will to try it but i can't draw leaves... Can you help me..???
Because i'm newbie...
thanks for your comments... But this is only a simple art...
I'm newbie-er
This is my second of WIP.... I don't know for leaves color... Can you help me...???
I'm sorry I have yet to fix the deficiencies previously....
Wow, the leaves look really awesome there, nice use of lighter and darker colors.
To be honest, the tree trunks look rather surreal compared to the leaves now
I once saw this tutorial on youtube about drawing leaves, the artist uses more vivid colors in his picture, although I think your darker ones fit your painting better:
:| Im speachless...
The tree trunks look kinda barren, as if you'd find them in a haunted forest. I think the leaves should be more of a brown color to match.

Nicholas Hoult and Riley Keough on May 7 (Said Elatab / Splash News)
After the exes were seen out to dinner together last week and then both turned up looking spiffy at the Met Gala on Monday night, rumors swirled that they could be back on. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. Not only did the 23-year-old British actor avoid JLaw at the A-list affair, according to E! News, and tell Us Weekly that they are just "friends," but he spent the day after the gala with Riley Keough, his stunning co-star from "Mad Max: Fury Road."
[Related: Memorable Men's Fashions at the Met Gala]
On Tuesday, Hoult and the 23-year-old model-actress daughter of Lisa Marie Presley were photographed leaving a Manhattan hotel together. He was stylishly dressed in a brown leather jacket and matching shoes, and she donned cuffed skinny jeans, a gray top, and high-heeled Mary Jane shoes. While he didn't seem bothered by photographers, she turned away, hiding behind her bright red locks until the duo ditched photographers.
While it is unclear whether their relationship is a romantic one, Hoult and Lawrence have been spending time together. After both scoring roles in the "Mad Max" sequel, they spent seven months filming the post-apocalyptic flick in the African country Namibia. Being in such a remote spot caused them to bond.
Keough became shy when she noticed the photographer. (Said Elatab / Splash News)
Hoult and Keough were also together in Los Angeles last month helping her "The Runaways" co-star Kristen Stewart celebrate her 23th birthday. In photos taken on April 9, the two were side by side among the party crowd, which included Robert Pattinson and Ashley Benson. The group had dinner at Malo restaurant in the Silver Lake neighborhood of L.A. before heading to nearby No Vacancy bar to continue the festivities.
While Hoult and Keough haven't been snapped while engaged in any PDA, it would be perfectly fine if they were. His relationship with Lawrence – whom he met on the set of "X-Men: First Class" in 2010 when they played each other's love interests – ended amicably in January. (They're reprising their roles in the sequel, "X-Men: Days of Future Past"), Meanwhile, Keough is swinging single as well after ending a brief engagement to Alex Pettyfer last year.
Do you think Nick and Riley would make a cute couple?

Common Courtesies
Common courtesies are the little gestures that we perform out of respect for others. They can be as simple as holding open a door or letting someone go ahead in a long line, to something as grand as sharing a homemade meal. Most importantly, they are characterized by a specific awareness of our surroundings and how our behaviors may affect those around us.

Everyone has experienced stress. At times it can be overwhelming while in other instances it comes in small spurts.
"People often talk about stress as if it is some type of emotion, but in reality, stress is nothing more than the body's signal that something is needed," said Capt. Neal Kennington, 56th Medical Operations Squadron clinical psychologist. "Hunger, fatigue or needing to go to the restroom are all simple examples of stress. Stress is an unpleasant sensation that motivates us to do something that will help us feel better. If I feel the stress of hunger, I eat. If I feel the stress of fatigue, I sleep. By doing those things, the stress is relieved, and I feel better.
"Some sources of stress are universal, such as hunger and thirst," Kennington said. "The things that stress me out completely may have very little impact on another person. Typically, a person's upbringing, personal experiences and genetic makeup determine what things cause a stress reaction."
Stress is also a reaction to everything encountered in a person's life, said Airman 1st Class James Gilmore, 56th MOS mental health service technician.
Some stress can lead to unhealthy coping habits such as smoking, overeating, being socially withdrawn, acting out or disregarding one's responsibilities, he said.
High stress levels can also impact one physically, Kennington said. It can cause weight gain, skin problems, short-term and chronic illnesses, digestive problems, muscular problems, loss of sex drive and emotional issues.
While there are negative stressors, some stress is good.
"Stress is the body's way of getting what it needs," Kennington said. "If we had no stress in our lives we wouldn't do anything since we would have no motivation."
One solution to help cope with stress is exercise, Kennington said. Research has shown the benefits of being active are much more than just physical fitness; 20 to 30 minutes per day of moderate activity leads to decreased stress and improvement in general mood and functioning.
"Physical activity is always my number one recommendation for dealing with stress because the benefits don't take weeks to materialize," he said. "Most people feel less stressed after the very first round. The key is to find the type of exercise that works for your personal preferences and fits your time limitations. By finding the right match you're more likely to stick with it and reap the benefits to your mood and stress levels."
Mental health clinic providers are available to help individuals and groups learn stress management techniques. To schedule an appointment, call 623-856-7579. Chaplains, military family life consultants and Military One Source are other sources of assistance available for dealing with overwhelming stress.

apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon
seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 cloves
minced garlic
1 tablespoon
chopped fresh basil
lime, juiced
cracked black pepper to taste
boneless pork chops, 1/2 inch thick
Loved these! But we love Old Bay so of course we loved these. I couldnt grill these so i baked them in the marinade @ 350 for 40 mins. I will be making these again. Thanks!
I didn't like the smell of the marinade. I didn't like the way the pork chops smelled when they emerged from the marinade. And I didn't like how they smelled as they were roasting (Hubs wasn't feeling well so at the last minute I had to throw these in the oven rather than grill them). If all those clues weren't enough, the one taste I had sealed it for me. Somewhere along the line the taste of those beautiful Porterhouse chops got lost in the unpleasant tang of vinegar and lime juice. I can't remember the last time I disliked something so much.

I thought this recipe turned out very tasty! I was a little hesitant b/c I really only use Old Bay for when I cook salmon, but the flavors all blended so well together. I only had dried basil, so I used that instead. Mine marinated for only 3-3.5 hours and it was GREAT!
This recipie was fantastic - the only thing I did different was I used dried basil instead of fresh as I did not have any. I had 6 boneless pork chops left over and needed something to do with them - I did a search and found this recipie. I actually cut my pork into cubes and marinated in a ziplock bag for about 5 hours then sauteed them in a heavy skillet over medium high heat and then used the pork to make pork tacos - my wife and kids loved them - I will definetely do this again!!!
I just made this last night and it was delicious!! I left the pork chops marinating in the ziploc bag in the fridge overnight. The only difference from the recipe is that I didn't have fresh basil, so I used ground basil instead. When I got home from work around 6pm, I threw the pork chops in the oven at 350 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Served the chops with rice and voila! A truly yummy meal. :)
I admit that I was pretty skeptical about this one because of the number of reviewers who thought the vinegar flavor was too strong. Well, let me just say, we REALLY, REALLY liked this. I did proceed cautiously and made 1/2 the recipe using 3 T. of vinegar and a heaping 1/2 T. of Old Bay. I marinated this for 5 hours and then Hubs grilled it to perfection! We'll be doing this one again! Thank you RMT!
Weak on the Old Bay flavor, and very strong on the vinegar. On the plus side, they were tender. Other than that, not much to recommend them, unless you're very fond of vinegar.
Wonderful flavor. My family loved this and already asked about the leftovers. I did use 1/2 the amount of vinegar this recipe called for and also used double the Old Bay seasoning. Perfect!

Subject: Amazing Q&A Service!
Received: Thursday, 31 Jan 2002
Hi Inge,
Thank you VERY much for replying to my email with answers to my questions. I still can hardly believe that Richters offers such an amazing service and your reply was so speedy. (If all retail establishments came even close to you........!)
I am determined to do my indoor seeding right; your truly valuable advice complements my attempt to 'cover all the bases' before I begin. (I really did 'just have to have' your further recommendation in regards to using the chamomile tea spray as a preventative!)
Soon I will place my order with Richters; I still have to finish reading through the web-site to look at other items I find interesting besides the chamomile.
Again, thank you, so much,

The Women's Tennis Association (WTA) has launched a new logo. It is the cornerstone of the governing body's rebranding, as it re-assumes its original name following the move of Sony Ericsson from title sponsor to lead sponsor.
The design of the new brand image departs from conventional sport logos by not featuring a figure of a female tennis player, but rather putting the emphasis on the letters W, T, and A.
The symbol also incorporates subtle references to the sport: the oval shape of the mark is a reference to both the imprint a tennis ball leaves on the court and to the shape of a racquet, while the yellow circle as the crossbar of the "A" recalls a tennis ball.
"By diverging from the expected approach of featuring an image of an athlete, we created a mark that is unusual in professional sports, and its appropriately bold identity will over time come to recall the incredible athletes that represent women's tennis," said Chermayeff & Geismar Partner and designer Tom Geismar, who oversaw the design process.
The new core brand identity will be fully integrated throughout the WTA and women's tennis, including in television graphics, print materials, tournament branding, advertising, promotion, and digital and social media in all its forms throughout the 2011 season. It can already be seen in Doha at this week's Sony Ericsson Championships, and will be present in Bali next week as Ana competes in the Commonwealth Bank Tournament of Champions.
"I like this new look," said Ana. "It's a fresh, clean logo, a little bit futuristic. They've done a really good job."

Main Nibbles / Chocolate
Gourmet Chocolate House Tour
The World's Great Chocolate Houses
On our first tour, in 2005, we visited these great chocolate producers (in alphabetical order):
In 2006, our tour took us to Bonnat* (France) Dagoba*† (U.S.), Guittard* (U.S.),
Dark • Smoky • Origin-Driven
The legacy of Pralus (pronounced prah-LOO) began in 1955 when Auguste Pralus opened up a patisserie in Roanne. His son François took over in 1988 and continues the family business today, with an especially keen focus on single origin chocolate. After studying with the finest pastry chefs including the renowned Jean Jacques Bernachon in Lyon (the first patissier to discover the superiority of single origin Chuao over cacao blends and to use it in his chocolates), François decided to pursue his own passion—producing chocolate from bean to bar.
François' passion for cacao caused him to search the equator for the finest. He has narrowed his sources to a few suppliers from South America, Africa, and Asia. Since the early 1990s, François has been zealous about the importance of origin. His hard work has paid off in the form of national and international awards, including the Grand Prix d'Excellence International du Chocolat in 1996 and 1997.
What to Know Before You Go
Pralus' style is rather distinct and characteristic of a dark roast; in fact, of all of the great chocolates, this is the most roasted. No matter which bar you taste, each has a "dark" and caramelized tone that dark roasting contributes to the chocolate, regardless of bean species and origin. Where Valrhona represents the extreme side of light roasting (sharp fruitiness), the caramel flavors in Pralus characterize the dark side—think of it as the "espresso" of cacao. Pralus' texture is slightly thick in the mouth, mainly because the bars have a high cacao content. Generally speaking, the higher the cacao percentage, the thicker the mouthfeel.
Points Of Interest
The Pyramide des Tropiques is the result of Pralus' search for the finest cacao. This collection of bars includes ten single-origin chocolate bars of 75% cacao content, each from a single bean type. The ten bars are decoratively wrapped and stacked together in a cube (pyramid means cube in French), creating one of the greatest chocolate tasting tours on earth.
Not To Be Missed
Indonesia and Colombia, personal favorites of the author. Indonesia has soft and subtle flavors of brown grass/hay, licorice, and even a subdued fruitiness. Colombia is rich with faint tones of strawberries, cranberries, and pure cacao. Two sensational chocolates.
Chocolat Bonnat
Dark • Traditional • Fruity • Kosher
Chocolat Bonnat's history stems back to 1884, when Félix Bonnat first opened his doors at 8 cours Sénozan in Voiron, a town in the French Alps in the southwest of France, about an hour northwest of Grenoble. Throngs of customers flocked to his storefront, anticipating the divine chocolate creations inside. Félix's two sons, Armand and Gaston, began to help with business operations soon after, and in 1956, scion Raymond Bonnat, with his wife Nicole, took full control of the firm. Formally schooled in business as well as chocolate, Raymond guided the company to exponential growth. Now four generations strong, Bonnat is run by two of Raymond and Nicole's four children, Cécile and Stéphane. Together, they aim to preserve the chocolate-making traditions that have made Bonnat sought-after around the globe. Chocolat Bonnat is certified kosher by Beth Din of the Federation of Synagogues London.
What to Know Before You Go
Bonnat is known for a dark roast. If you like darker-roast coffees—French roast and espresso—you should like the flavors of this chocolate. The flavors tend to be on the darker side even if fruitiness is present, which at the same time, shows that the artisan tending the roaster knows when to stop. Several of chocolates display properties of over-roasting to a minimal degree, but such attributes never become overbearing in a negative sense. Bonnat does not emulsify: the texture is usually smooth due to additional cocoa butter, which is probably an unavoidable consequence caused by an absence of lecithin. Devoid of vanilla too, Bonnat sticks to minimal ingredients: cocoa mass (also known as cocoa liquor), sugar and cocoa butter. Bonnat is one of the very few chocolatiers in the world to add neither vanilla or soya lecithin. The result is what some call Bonnat's "rustic edge," very popular with certain chocolate purists. While Michel Cluizel makes a dark roast chocolate without lecithin, he does use vanilla, and the chocolate is extremely elegant and sophisticate. It is a fascinating study in contrasts.
Points Of Interest
75% Single Origin Bars
Three Milks And An Unsweetened
Bonnat produces three high percentage milk bars, each clocking in at 65% cocoa content (regular milk chocolate bars are generally 30% to 35% cacao). This means an intensity of cacao flavor while still delivering some creaminess that milk chocolate-lovers crave. Each bar hails from different regions of the same Javanese island, and each bustles with its own unique flavors. Surabaya is the mildest and the most milk chocolate-like; Java is reminiscent of lemon chocolate mousse, and Asfarth is strong and forthright, a domineering force among any high cocoa content milk chocolate. If you like very fine milk chocolate, or know someone with a sophisticated palate who does, a gift of these (along with a set of Slitti's Lattenero bars) is an eye-opener.
Finally, get ready for the unsweetened, 100% Cacao bar. It's strong and acidic, definitely a "red fruit" and earthy chocolate, relentless with its tart attack. Chocolate connoisseurs will find it a worthy challenge, and those who cannot have sugar will enjoy the range of flavors it offers.
Not To Be Missed
Historic Capsule
Begun in Pisa in 1990, Amedei is the result of a cacao love affair of the brother and sister team of Cecilia and Alessio Tessieri. With a combination of Alessio's scrupulous bean selection and Cecilia's masterful chocolatier skills, Amedei produces some outstanding chocolate. Their passion for cacao has caused them to search the world for the finest beans and plantations. This dedication and ardor creates a personal connection to the chocolate, a sentiment of love that can be tasted: it is translated through the pleasure that their chocolate evokes. If chocolate is a language, then Amedei speaks it fluently.
What to Know Before You Go
Amedei has a characteristic flavor of brown dried fruits: dates, raisins, even figs. They produce two lines: iCru (representing ier Cru, short for Premier Cru in Italian) single origin chocolate and blended bars. It is hard to surpass their sublime Porcelana and Chuao single origin chocolates. Amedei does not have an intimidating or overwhelming flavor profile and will appeal to most people seeking excellent high-end chocolate. Whereas some with limited taste ranges might find Valrhona too fruity, Pralus too dark or Domori too Fauvian, Amedei has an even-tempered point-of-view that is approachable by all, while offering all the complexity and exclusivity to appease the fussiest connoisseur. Flavors are generally easy to detect and describe—an indication of perfect bean handling, selection, and formulation.
Points of Interest: Legendary Cacao
Drying the beans in the town
square of Chuao.
Perhaps the most quintessential chocolates Amedei produces are the Porcelana and the Chuao. At 70% cacao content each, the two bars are made from rare and highly prized Criollo beans.
*Only the upper part of the Chuao plantation is planted with 100% Criollo beans. The rest is a hybrid of Criollo blanco and Amelonado, a species of Forastero—a cross-breeding technique that has yielded a hardier and more productive plant.
Cru Or Blended
Not To Be Missed
Chuao, among the very best chocolates in the world, period.
Plat du jour: Many chocolate
connoisseurs would rather be
served a plate of Chuao than
anything else.
The cacao farmed in the town of Chuao (pronounced chew-OW), in the rainforest off the Caribbean coast of Venezuela, produces beans that many experts regard as yielding the greatest finesse and complexity. In 2000, an agreement was signed giving Amedei the right to the entire crop through 2007 and the right of first refusal thereafter. Because Venezuela and the chocolate industry in general do not have an AOC (Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée, which exists in France, Italy, and Spain to protect the product authenticity, there is no legal authority to stop anyone from calling their beans or bars Chuao (or Porcelana, or anything else for that matter). To guarantee that you are experiencing authentic Chuao from the plantation in the village of Chuao, you should taste the Amedei product. Of course, compare it to other Chuaos and look for commonalities and differences.*
Adventurous • Brilliant • Cutting-Edge
Historic Capsule
Mack Domori is a relative newcomer to the industry, but he did not arrive unprepared. Launched in 1996 in Genoa, his line of products is large: bars, dragées, cocoa powder, candies, nut cremes, and of special interest to the chocophile, rare-to-find whole roasted cacao beans, ready to eat. He produces not just single origin and blended bar lines, but five distinct lines of bars with complex flavors and textures to challenge both the palate and the mind. Domori is a traveler who sees pursuit of cacao knowledge as a cult (the good kind). Like Michel Cluizel and François Pralus before him, his mission is poetic and pure: to allow the natural flavor of the cacao to shine through in its most complete unadulterated and pure form. But he guides the mission several steps further than anyone else.
What to Know Before You Go
Domori's innovative approach of minimal bean processing allows the true essence of cacao to shine through in the finished chocolate. He excludes lecithin and vanilla from his chocolate, which results in an overall stronger chocolate flavor and pasty texture. Conching time is shorter, which contributes to the pastiness; but pleasantly so. Domori does not have the same smoothness associated with Valrhona, but it coats the mouth in a lovely paste that's highly seductive. Many of Domori's bars have a distinct dairy tone, varying from fresh cream to buttermilk to cheese.
Domori's innovative approach might not appeal to everyone's palate immediately: a slow acclimation might be required to fully appreciate his brilliant, "Fauvian" style. However, be warned: once you become acclimated, the addiction follows quickly.
Points Of Interest
If variety is the spice of life, then Domori's spice cabinet is overflowing:

Rib Roast with Blue Cheese Horseradish Sauce
A holiday roast makes a lovely presentation and is just about the best crowd-pleaser you can find.┬Ā You want to order a little more than 1 pound per person of "bone-in standing rib roast." If you can, ask the butcher to cut the bone off of it and tie it back on for flavorful cooking but easy slicing. Ask for extra fat for the cap too,┬Āif it is available.
Yield: about 10 servings
1 (about 14 to 16 pound) beef rib, roast ready
About 3-4 Tbsp of your favorite seasoning blend such as Greek Seasoning, or Creole Seasoning
12 cloves of peeled garlic, crushed
6 sprigs of fresh thyme
3 Tbsp olive oil
Kosher Salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Take the beef out of the refrigerator 2 hours before cooking so it can come to room temperature.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Using a sharp knife, make a slit 3/4 of the way up the fat cap. Pull the fat cap back and season underneath the cap and the remaining entire roast with your favorite blend. Rub with crushed garlic. Place thyme springs across meat so they will be under fat cap. Lay the fat cap back over the┬Ā meat. With butchers twine, secure the fat cap to the meat by tying the two together at six different intervals, in between the bones. Cover the exposed fat cap with cracked black pepper and kosher salt.
Heat a large skillet over high heat for 1 minute. Swirl in the olive oil and, when the oil puts off its first wisp of smoke, place the beef in the pan, and sear it on all the outer sides (not the cut sides) until well browned, 6 to 8 minutes total. Use a set of tongs to flip the beef; be careful of splattering oil. With two sets of tongs, transfer the beef, bone side down, to a roasting rack set in a roasting pan. Arrange the rosemary, thyme, garlic, and butter evenly on top.
Place in the preheated oven on the center rack.
Roast the beef, until a thermometer inserted into the center reads 120 degrees F to 125 degrees F for rare, about 2 hours. Cook to 130 degrees F to 135 degrees F for medium-rare (about 2-1/4 hours), 140 degrees F to 145 degrees F for medium (about 2-1/2 hours). Let the meat rest 10- 15 minutes before carving.
First cut away the butchers twine. Remove fat cap and sprigs of thyme. Then carve roast from bone.┬Ā Slice roast into individual servings, and cut between bones to separate into ribs. Reserve the drippings for Au Jus or serve with Blue Cheese Horseradish Sauce
Blue Cheese Horseradish Sauce
1 Tbsp butter
2 cloves garlic, sliced
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
6 oz blue cheese
2 Tbsp prepared horseradish
Fresh cracked pepper
In medium saucepan over medium-high heat, saut├® garlic in butter until it just begins to brown.┬Ā Add 3/4 cup heavy cream and bring to a boil.
Lower the heat and simmer the sauce until the cream coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 10 minutes.
Remove from heat. Stir in crumbled blue cheese, horseradish, and add pepper to taste. Serve with Holiday Rib Roast or rack of lamb.
Cazuela: Spanish Chicken Stew
This is a riff on a Spanish chicken stew called cazuela that is cooked in an earthenware covered dish by the same name.┬Ā It is a rustic country one pot meal, similar to the French cassoulet, that warms you through and through on a cold winter's night.┬Ā Although a cazuela is the authentic cooking vessel, you can still make a delightful hearty one-pot meal in a cast iron or enamelware dish.┬Ā This will even work well in your slow cooker.┬Ā Enjoy your cazuela with a crusty loaf of bread to dip in the juices, and a crisp salad.
12 chicken legs
Fresh ground black pepper
Salt to taste (approx 1-2 tsp)
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large yellow onion
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1# smoked sausage
1 (14 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 (14 oz) can white beans
Pinch of saffron (optional)
2 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
2 tsp dry basil leaves
1 tsp dry thyme leaves
Preheat oven 350 degrees.
Preheat Dutch oven or large braising pan over medium heat on the stove top.┬Ā
Season chicken legs with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to pan and brown chicken legs. Add onions and garlic, continuing to cook for another 2-3 minutes.┬Ā Turn off heat and add remaining ingredients.┬Ā Do not drain tomatoes or beans.
Cover and place in pre-heated oven at 350 degrees, until chicken is tender and falling off the bone, about 1 1/2 hours.┬Ā Serve hot on a cold winterŌĆÖs night with a loaf of bread and salad. Serves 8-10
Caramel Glazed Apple Walnut Cake
One of my favorite bounties of fall is the boundless variety of apples.┬Ā Paired with caramel and walnuts this cake is perfect!┬Ā Makes one cake. Serves 10-12.
3 apples, peeled, cubed 3/4"
1 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
1 tsp baking powder
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare apples and walnuts and set aside.
Combine sugar and vegetable oil by whisking together. Whik in one egg at a time, then add vanilla.
In a separate bowl, combine flour, cinnamon, Nutmeg, and baking powder.
Adding a third at a time, blend dry mixture into wet mixture until smooth.
Stir in apples and walnuts.
Pour batter into a tube pan.┬Ā Place pan on baking sheet and bake on center rack at 350 degree for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
While cake is baking, prepare caramel glaze, and pour over hot cake, while it is still in the pan.
Remove from pan, slice and serve. Excellent with vanilla ice cream!
Caramel Sauce
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
Combine all ingredients in sauce pan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.┬Ā Cook 3-5 minutes or until melted and well combined. Pour over hot cake.

|A&B Famous Gefilte Fish Loaves
Kosher for Passover, Convenient, Tastes Homemade
A meaningful "fish tale" as shared by A&B Famous Gefilte Fish:
Fish is an important part of the Shabbos and Yom Tov meal. And, for generations, gefilte fish has maintained the prized position as the star, traditional fish of choice. Its origins are said to be twofold: rooted in adherence to Jewish law, and the meager financial resources in most Jewish homes. The law of 'borer' prohibits separation of edible parts of an animal from the inedible, the bad from the good. The separation of fish from its bones falls into this category. In addition, especially in generations past, anything that stretched a family's limited resources was a plus. Gefilte, or minced 'stuffed' fish, utilized both the skin and the fish pieces, and stretched the budget with added stuffing ingredients such as onions, matzo, bread crumbs, etc., and adhered to Jewish law, by eliminating the need for picking out fish bones at the table. So, even poor, large, families could enjoy fish on Shabbat.
Now, how do you like your gefilte fish: sweet or peppery? According to Michael Steinlauf, who teaches Jewish studies at Gratz College in Philadelphia, preference is based on geography and genetics. There's a "gefilte fish line" separating the Eastern European regions, running though eastern Poland. Jews living to the west – which includes most of Poland, Germany and Western Europe − ate the sweet gefilte fish. Those to the east − Lithuania, Latvia and Russia − ate the peppery version.
As centuries passed, that beloved gefilte fish remained front and center, but evolved; Jewish families primarily stopped stuffing fish and, since the 19th century, the skin has commonly been omitted − instead the seasoned fish is formed into patties or balls.
Homemade gefilte fish is time consuming, but worth the effort, especially when using a family heirloom recipe which pleases the palate and the soul. But consumers have a choice – delicious frozen loaves of "homemade" gefilte fish, ready to pop in the oven or boil in the pot without any fuss or messy, intensive, time consuming preparation. We are referring to A&B Famous fish. Frozen fish loaves such as A&B are a perfect substitute for made–from–scratch gefilte fish. It provides a convenient alternative to homemade. In fact, many cannot tell the difference and we know that from personal experience!
A&B Famous takes pride in their products. The company, launched in the 1970's, has expanded to provide several types of frozen fish loaves.
