Two girls left Mfa nynpl v nj stallions nynpl game with concussions today. One by ambulance. Take a deep breath kiss your daughter and remember this is just a game. nj stallions gave the Mfa team roses obviously intended for their mothers after the ambulance left. Very sweet.
Happy Mother's Day.

Why is this forum so silent now! Did all the 02's finally move over to the crazy U14 blog already. Anyway as tryouts are over which 03 teams look promising next year?

Not all MLS DA programs are free.
There is about a zero chance of GDA being free. Orlando ECNL helps with travel.
Expect a roster of 24-28 girls. All paying.
Six subs with no re entry. Kids will love that!
The GDA will be the best thing that has ever happened to other girls sports.
- May 13, 2016 at 7:29 PM
Nike said they will provide free soccer balls to the program. Thanks so much Nike! That seems like an appropriate sponsorship in exchange for the bazillions we all spend on kiddie cleats.

So what happened to pf against bucks today? Not expecting to see that result
- May 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM
Seems to be a pattern with PF teams. They start off well, but fade as the year goes on. U13, U15, U16 teams all have had a difficult spring. No improvement in the teams and have under-achieved. Good rosters, but nothing in the way of coaching to making players better. Certainly they are still getting the good players, but improvement and growth in those players seems to be non existent. It's not just one year. Look at the pattern year after year in past ECNL results.
Those that don't know any better think the training is good, but when you take a deeper look at the coaches of those teams you start to see they have little to no high level backgrounds. The training is average at best. Ordinary travel soccer coaches. The 2016-17 PF coaching staff is even more average than last year. AR was brought in this year not because she can coach, but because she will and has poached players from her current club. The same was the case last year with the hopes that SS would bring players from FCUSA to fill voids in the rosters of the older teams. Just as PF has shown a recent lack of commitment towards players, we will all see how committed they are to the coaching staff after recruiting well runs dry and results stay poor.

9:57 Spot on !
- May 15, 2016 at 10:52 PM
I would agree as well with that unfortunately. Disappointed is how I feel as we end the year.
- May 15, 2016 at 11:29 PM
Can someone explain to me how the Region I Camp works?
I am looking for some insight as to how this works. If you play up, does that mean you have to continue to play up in camp as well? Or do you have the opportunity to play your birth year again next go around if you weren't successful in being selected for a team this time? Its all confusing to me as we are new to this situation. Any advice appreciated.
- May 16, 2016 at 7:15 AM
715 Don't waste your money!
- May 16, 2016 at 10:55 AM
My daughter said she loved the camp, had a great time,and wants to go back.
- May 16, 2016 at 12:08 PM
658 Bucks won because there was no disruption of a parent they probably would of won game in the fall as well.
- May 16, 2016 at 12:36 PM
7:15 - My experience is that if a player is playing up she has the option of attending the assigned year camp or the age appropriate camp. Of course, you should check with your state program for guidance. And yes, this would give two chances at selection for a particular age group. However, if attending camp at an age group up, she may not be eligible for the region pool at the appropriate age.
- May 16, 2016 at 1:07 PM
According to u14 National Training Camp. Kylie Daigle originally from SJEB, now Penn Fusion is positioned as Defender ? She has been midfield as a soccer player. I guess good for her for going to training camp.
- May 16, 2016 at 1:33 PM
1:33 not cool mentioning a player by name!
Administrator - please delete the above post
- May 16, 2016 at 1:36 PM
1:36 What is wrong with the comment? It is a compliment, it seems to me. Nothing derogatory there. Settle down.
- May 16, 2016 at 2:07 PM
IF you read any soccer forums you will know it turns negative 100 percent of the time. It should never be done. Not sure why the moderator is allowing it.
- May 16, 2016 at 2:10 PM
1:33 is most likely her Daddy . He likes to stroke his ego on here and all social media outlets . His daughter is here today but will most likely be gone tomorrow . Enjoy the ride Daddy while it lasts .
- May 16, 2016 at 2:20 PM
Her name is on the National Training Center Roster, BY NAME. It must be her daddy, He would be the only one who has a problem with this. Why is being known as a defender a slap in the face ???
- May 16, 2016 at 2:23 PM
Excuse me can you 02 parents please move onto the next blog there are many more 02/01 in the NT pool over there. This blog is dedicated for the 03's now.
- May 16, 2016 at 2:38 PM
2:38 It hasn't changed yet. So go back down to your blog.
- May 16, 2016 at 2:43 PM
It likely is a silly parent thinking it is somehow a good idea to have their player discussed on an anonymous forum. I guess it is a good idea if you like reading negative things about your kid.
- May 16, 2016 at 2:53 PM
Her Daddy is an arrogant ass who's not even liked by his own team parents . I feel bad for his daughter . His behavior seems to be rubbing off on her .
- May 16, 2016 at 3:02 PM
This is an all time low for people to come down on parents (dad or mom) many parents sacrifice endless hours for their daughter only to come one hear make rude remarks. Grow Up! & 2:38 is correct go to the U14 blog if you are these types of parents there are plenty of people on there that talk about parents. Keep this blog clean and respectful.
- May 16, 2016 at 3:29 PM
Since PF Daddy is allowed to talk about his kid we should give mention to the truly talented players out there .
Ione Fetsko match fit playing year up
Bryana Pizarro east meadow rostered up at u15
Briana Sayoc east meadow playing a year up on u14 national team
Hannah Blodget PDA
Those are the players to watch !!!!!!
- May 16, 2016 at 4:01 PM
Matchfit has a few players to watch at u14 as 2002's. They have sent a few to NT training in CA as well. this board was crickets just a week ago not it's hot topic.
- May 16, 2016 at 4:17 PM
Definitely wrong name of girl playing a year up from east meadow. I will not post correct name out of respect for privacy but it is easy to look up.
- May 16, 2016 at 4:20 PM
Agree! Match Fit and East Meadow have a lot of talent . Will be fun to follow their journey .
- May 16, 2016 at 4:21 PM
Yes Agree East Meadow team at U14 is heavy on the 02 side and currently sits at #6 rank in the ECNL league heading into San Diego for playoffs. There goalie was called over as well. If you paid attention daddy's the ECNL website provides you players names and player resume go ahead and look at East Meadow's team.
- May 16, 2016 at 4:28 PM
I would be shocked if there is a better 03 girl than the 03 east meadow player. I have only seen her play smaller sided. She is the most skilled player i have watched in the full 02/03 age group.
- May 16, 2016 at 5:15 PM
Thanks for the info East Meadow Dad!
- May 16, 2016 at 5:25 PM
5:25 must be the jealous PF Daddy !
- May 16, 2016 at 5:44 PM
Real Classy! I hope your clubs don't act in the same manner.
- May 16, 2016 at 5:53 PM
If you have time and are near any of the Delco Cup fields check out #10 on South Shore U12. Great skills
- May 16, 2016 at 9:21 PM
I thought the dads from PF and East meadow girls mentioned above were friends? They must be competing for something
- May 16, 2016 at 11:34 PM
I wonder where the new five PDA players are from? Anyone know??
- May 16, 2016 at 11:36 PM
"Ione Fetsko match fit playing year up

Blodget is on PDA U12 Lyon. That team has run roughshod over damn good teams in EDP U13 Girls 1st Division Central.
- May 16, 2016 at 11:45 PM
Penn Fusion is playing the player in question in the midfield. Often up a year also as they do with most of their nats. She is listed as a defender for the u14 GNT because that is the position the USSF coach (April Kater)_ sees her fitting in right now. Penn Fusion is not playing her as a defender. She is an outstanding player who does not rely on early puberty, but instead skills to carry her through. She has a very high ceiling. Not her parent. Have known the family for some time though.
- May 17, 2016 at 8:16 AM
Im calling bs on it not being a parent.
But to be fair the ussf uses one formation with three interior mids so wing players need to move forward or backwards depending on the skill set. My kid had to play out of position at a recent camp.
- May 17, 2016 at 8:53 AM
It's clear what's going on here with the PF dad and his agenda- he needs to chill out. No amount of video editing, smear campaigns on perceived competition for his kid or blog posting about her will help her. She will succeed or not all on her own. Relax. I doubt EM03 dad reads this crap let alone posts but someone should let him know about his frenemy.
- May 17, 2016 at 9:17 AM
By U17 none of these kids are in NT pool
- May 17, 2016 at 9:38 AM
you'll keep hating though
- May 17, 2016 at 9:57 AM
I would suggest we try to keep the names of kids off the blog. Especially children of this age. Not fair to them and makes you look like a freak IMO. Every single person here is passionate about youth soccer and a little nuts just for being here, but that IMO crosses a line.
- May 17, 2016 at 10:00 AM
Like many have said there are many other players at PDA, MF, East Meadow Etc. that were called up and some even on the roster on the U16 NT. People forget as a 2002 your lobbying for a U16 roster spot for USSF as it is an even year. 2003 will move into the U15 roster come next year. Sometimes it's a timing thing on year to be recognized
Funny all the talk of PF team but not many of other players called it could be a few people just obsessed.
- May 17, 2016 at 10:10 AM
This sport needs good underdog story to emerge. We need a 5000 -1 shot to get a chance the top. US soccer should find this story just for the inspiration factor.
Not taking anything away form any of these players but it is getting depressing that no kids out of the country cub every get a chance. This sport need a Leicester fox story to inspire all the players cut out of the insider club.
- May 17, 2016 at 10:22 AM
1022 yes agree there is no rags to riches story like football or basketball in the U.S. have. Maybe with the DA coming it will happen. All these high price pay to play clubs that just wants to cash in for profit is getting out of hand.
- May 17, 2016 at 10:41 AM
A majority of the rosters are already set, so not sure what a smear campaign would do at this point.
To back up 9:57's claims on May 15th, here are PF W/L records for their '02 teams.
2015 games : 7W-2L-2D
2016 games : 4-3-2 (one game left against FC Stars)
2015 : 5-7
2016 : 0-7-2
- May 17, 2016 at 10:50 AM
Look, the DA has a FAQ about costs where they talk about free soccer balls and Powerade drink for the players. Don't think the DA is going to expand the player pool very much with that. Soccer balls and sports drinks are not the problem. The scholarship may reach some, but can be a humiliation and I think income must be very low to qualify.
- May 17, 2016 at 10:50 AM
Now that DA applications are open does anyone know which clubs in the area will be submitting or has submitted applications? I think applications close in a few months.
- May 17, 2016 at 11:13 AM
@10:50 obviously they are winning less because their nat isn't playing with them.
- May 17, 2016 at 11:38 AM
1050 and 1138 does it really matter the team will be re-vamped for next year as many others will also be so why all talk about PF now? Many teams are packing up the season already to get prepared for next. Only those that have advance in NPL playoffs and Region 1 championships are still playing for a meaning. Even upcoming tournaments will be meaningless as well.
- May 17, 2016 at 12:08 PM
GDA will not be free. Cost stays high.
GDA will have rosters of 24-28 players.
Substitutions are at 6 a game with no re-entry.
Although there will be claims of development, clubs that get GDA in the tri-state area will all play to win, and because of that, kids will sit and sit and sit.
College recruitment has always been the driving force behind ECNL. The GDA will cause exposure to college coaches to become greatly reduced. Not for top players, but for all the rest.
The GDA will be structured for the small amount of top players, but without the other players to play with or against, the GDA will become watered down.
This is not to mention having to make a choice between HS soccer or GDA.
GDA will be the biggest boost to girls lax and basketball.
- May 17, 2016 at 12:19 PM
IF the cost were not so prohibitive, it could be a very different sort of program. But that does not look to be in the cards.
- May 17, 2016 at 12:51 PM
This PF Dad is one of the most annoying and arrogant posters I've seen on here in awhile . Stop talking about your kid . Many players mentioned above are as good and even much better . Stop trying to relive your youth thru her and get a life . No wonder you are not well liked at your club .
- May 17, 2016 at 1:47 PM
everyone has been duped:
"658 Bucks won because there was no disruption of a parent they probably would of won game in the fall as well."
one hour after this post ^^^^ the guy make a post referring to the PF national team player by name. It was an obvious deflection away from himself and everyone has fallen for it. Great move on his part don't you think?
- May 17, 2016 at 2:07 PM
Is it difficult to figure out who would post a player's name? Would anyone but a parent ever do that?
- May 17, 2016 at 2:20 PM
Why would a parent who's child has been systematically attacked on this board randomly post her name months after the camp? Especially knowing she's been systematically attacked in the past? The answer is he didn't. An ex FC Bucks parent who was about to be attacked threw red meat out to this board of fools to deflect attention away from himself. It was a calculated maneuver on his part that you fools have taken hook line and sinker. Also hearing he has moved over to Continental and joined the stalker that was on a rant about the National team player a few months ago - when the original NT press release came out. Haters gonna hate and now they've joined forces at Continental.
- May 17, 2016 at 2:28 PM
makes perfect sense to me - wow, people are evil!!!
57 minutes after this was posted:
"658 Bucks won because there was no disruption of a parent they probably would of won game in the fall as well."
This gets posted completely out of the blue:
"According to u14 National Training Camp. Kylie Daigle originally from SJEB, now Penn Fusion is positioned as Defender ? She has been midfield as a soccer player. I guess good for her for going to training camp."
- May 17, 2016 at 2:43 PM
It all started because of this posting -- May 15, 2016 at 6:58 PM "So what happened to pf against bucks today? Not expecting to see that result"
- May 17, 2016 at 2:56 PM
Correct, then somebody pointed out they would have won the game in the fall to if it weren't for that dad. Then he threw the national team player under the bus to deflect the conversation away from him
- May 17, 2016 at 3:03 PM
So much hatred in PA soccer, in other news does anyone know how EDP will run the U15 division next year. Will there be a full Fall league or Short Fall league rolled into the Spring?
- May 17, 2016 at 4:10 PM
Heard edp will run full fall season. Not sure how many teams willl play.
- May 17, 2016 at 5:12 PM
Impossible EDP will run a full fall 75%(Jan-Sep) of girls in HS. If they do it will be a waste as 8th graders could better off doing training days.
- May 17, 2016 at 6:30 PM
What are Phila area clubs saying to all about Fall season for 8th graders? Bucks/PDA/Rush/PF... etc. ? Training? Small leagues? Thanks
- May 17, 2016 at 6:55 PM
"Be Humble and Kind" - Tim McGraw
- May 17, 2016 at 7:03 PM
Our team will only have 3-4 8th graders including my daughter for next year's team at U15. The club mentioned training with the younger group and entering multiple tournaments beginning and towards the end of the fall in the NY/North Jersey area. That's what was given to us as the first plan.
- May 17, 2016 at 7:32 PM
Keep it positive.. doesn't do much good to do anything else. Lots of great kids in the area to watch play the beautiful game :)

New Teams age group breakdown question . More u13 or u14's on the 2002 (new u15) Squads out there. Ours is about 70% from u14 group.
- May 18, 2016 at 9:54 AM
I know that it's water under the bridge but the fact that we will now have U15 8th graders should have been reason enough for stopping the implementation of the new age grouping. At least in the old system a U14 9th grader could have chosen to forgo her freshman season and stay with her club. Now the 8th grade U15 has to wait until November to play games? Stupid decision that makes no sense.
- May 18, 2016 at 12:09 PM
@1209 Total Agree! EDP has chosen to have a league for U15's(2002) for Fall. Link - http://www.edpsoccer.com/page/show/2470525-edp-league-faq-16-17
- May 18, 2016 at 12:38 PM
SDFC haven't done any more tournaments than any other top team so I don't get how they are "points whores". They are a good team but I think #1 in NJ and region 1 is not correct.
- May 18, 2016 at 12:47 PM
Has to wait until November to play games is a crisis? No its not. There will be about the same number of total games played over the course of the season. Have your daughter train with u14 boys. Start a speed and agility program. Play on the middle school team if she wants to and it is available. She will probably be ahead of the kids who played high school if she concentrates on high level training. My kid was a July kid that we held back. She was a u15 eighth grader-they did exist before this change- albeit in lower numbers so there was only me to help her to continue her development. She trained with the club u14 team - both boys and girls and was ahead by October when the u15 started training. The ECNL had trapped 8th grader rules then and we thought about switching clubs, but didn't seem worth it for a few months and we were right.
- May 18, 2016 at 12:54 PM
BYC/Club/School is even more complicated in some parts of PA where high school ball is played in the fall and middle school ball is played in the spring. Therefore, a 2002 team will have its 9th graders playing high school ball in the fall and its 8th graders playing middle school ball in the spring, if they chose to do so.
- May 18, 2016 at 4:46 PM
What about the southern states that play HS in the spring like Delaware and Maryland.
- May 18, 2016 at 8:49 PM
Dont blame SDFC for being #1, blame gotsoccer for awarding disproportionate amount of points to NJ teams (EDP league is worth more points because they have a high concentration of teams with high points - very self-fulfilling).
Use http://youthsoccerrankings.us/ for something that is 50% more accurate.
Gotsoccer predictive power = 44.8
YouthSoccerRankings predictive power = 64.1
SDFC is very good, #4 in NJ and #9 in Region 1. There are 35 teams within 1 point YSR ranking of SDFC - the competition is great too.
- May 19, 2016 at 8:58 AM
9:31, you should be ashamed of yourself for calling a set of 12 year old girls a bunch of whores. what is wrong with you? are you that sick in the head or lack so little self-control of that gross part of your personality that you can not but make such an offensive comment?
SDFC is one of the best teams in the area, they work hard, train hard, and do well. They are not to blame for the insanity of gotsoccer points. They go to tournaments, play their leagues and get results. Dont be so jealous. Many teams out there do more and achieve less. Many clubs are cheap and load up on your monies and don't give you nearly as much. Either way you slice it, calling 12 year old girls a bunch of whores is pretty low even for this crowd.
- May 19, 2016 at 3:42 PM
Not the same guy but think he means the club not the kids. All these british coaches game the system.
- May 19, 2016 at 4:28 PM
Coach. No one used that term in reference to the kids. Go back to exploiting the kids for their parents monies.
- May 19, 2016 at 4:45 PM
"All these British coaches" - nice bit of racism for the forum about youth soccer
- May 19, 2016 at 5:38 PM
British is a race now? Better call the anti-British defamation people.
- May 19, 2016 at 7:25 PM
Racism, Fascism, or just straight up prejudice whatever you won't to call it, 4:28 was basically putting down someone based on their nationality and where they were born. Not something that should be on a youth soccer forum.
Administrator please delete 4:28 post.

That is very likely the dumbest thing ever said on this blog. When you consider how many stupid things have been said, we may truly be in the presence of "greatness". Racism!!! Oh my God. MLK must be rolling over in his grave.

- May 23, 2016 at 9:35 AM
A question for the Rush parents, and there zero agenda here other than to learn about Rush. Is it a big corporation or something like that? I see NJ, NY, CT, I see a colorado Rush. Is this a corporate thing or are these franchises? Very unique for the soccer industry.
- May 23, 2016 at 4:44 PM
Not a Rush parent, but an intrigued follower of the Rush model. Simply put, Rush is more of an management organization, than a franchise. When the operation of a soccer club becomes too much for local volunteers and parents to handle, the Rush organization can step in and provide professional oversight. As the Rush organization states, it is based in Littleton, Colorado, as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization established to provide a personal growth experience through the game of soccer and to promote life-long participation in the sport. Formed in 1997 through a merger of two local clubs, Club Columbine (est. 1974) and Lakewood United Soccer Club (est. 1982), Rush now services over 32,000 nationally and another 6,000 internationally on an annual basis. Delaware Rush was formally the Hockessin Soccer Club, and although it now operates through the Rush organization, it retains a local board of directors.

More USYS State Cup semi-finals and finals, all scheduled for weekend of 6/4-5:
South Shore Select v. Vipers FC
Abbey Villa v. FCUSA Impact
North United v. PA Crew
Northern Steel v. Beadling Elite
Staten Island United v. Levittown Wildcats
Note: If South Shore and North United win their respective cups, then SDFC will receive a wildcard bid to the Region 1 Championships as a semi-finalist in the Region 1 Champions League. SDFC may also receive the wildcard even if North United, the other Champions League semi-finalist, does not advance because it has a better goal differential than North United in the Champions League semi-finals. SDFC was supposed to play North United for third place in the Champions League, but that game was canceled because of poor field conditions. If South Shore does not advance (unlikely, but possible), then South Shore takes the Champions League wildcard as the League champion.
Despite BYC, these U13 games and the U13 Region 1 Cup games have meaning because they determine National League qualifiers at the U15 level for the 2016-2017 season. South Shore Select (MA), HMMS Impact (PAE), CFJ South Premier (IL), CUP Gold (OHS), Tennessee SC (TN), and Solar Chelsea (TXN) are current U13 teams that have already qualified for the 2016-2017 U15 National League through region league play.

Yes, Rush is a franchise. As with any franchise, the goal is revenue generation, often at the expense of a quality product.
- May 24, 2016 at 3:21 PM
Arsenal Maximus coach is a weiner. So scared about losing points to withdraw from a tournment due to a few kids being injured I guess those are the only good players on the team. Hey Maximus did you every hear of guest players. Such a town team mentality..
- May 24, 2016 at 3:22 PM
3:22pm. Not sure if thats true but it wouldn't surprise me. Ever seen the guy coach on game day in tight games? Barely makes subs, all about winning and then goes crazy if they score.
- May 24, 2016 at 3:42 PM
I thought Rush bought out the Rage club and the owners at the time stepped aside? so was that a new owner that took out a franchise and also then bought out Rage? Where is the value in the franchise, that is what exactly does a Rush franchisee get that they couldn't figure out on their own?
- May 24, 2016 at 7:50 PM
Nobody bought out rage. Some rage teams left and joined rush. Wasn't enough left at rage to sustain the club.
- May 24, 2016 at 8:28 PM
Rage agreed to merge with Rush - http://www.njrush.com/index.php/9-local-sponsors/2-uncategorised/9-news-3

Here are Frequently Asked Questions from when Hockessin joined Rush:
Are we controlled and operated by the Rush?
No, this is a partnership. The (club) will still operate independently including filing of it's own taxes, governance by it's own Board of Directors, hiring of it's own employees, etc. This venture is a cooperative effort with the purpose to serve to make each organization better. The partnership allows for the clubs to interact and share ideas.
Will joining the Rush increase the club costs?
Fees are established by your own club.
Is there a fee for joining the Rush?
Yes, there is a $10,000.00 franchise fee which can be paid through an annual payment plan mutually agreed upon. Once the club is an official partner, there is an annual $4.00 per member fee. Even though the benefits you receive from becoming a member are great, the savings through corporate negotiations and economy of scale outweigh the membership fee considerably.
Will there be a change in club philosophy?
The club philosophy will stay the same and the focus will remain on individual player development. Our philosophy in the past is very similar to the Rush development philosophy. It provides us with the opportunity to further the communication and education of that philosophy through organizational credos and operating standards.
How will this impact the colors of the club?
The club colors will be blue and white. Uniforms will be black and grey (boys) and blue and grey (girls)
Do we keep the same club model or will it change to the model of the Colorado Rush?
Clubs may adopt as many of the programs and services as they wish. Clubs are not mandated to do anything. Your current programs you have in place can remain and new ones can be added.
Will our recreation program change?
No, this will only serve to make our recreational program stronger. Through the exchange of intellectual property, we will enable ourselves to develop and adopt programs and ideas to better serve this branch of the club.
Is there expected growth to the club by joining the Rush?
The potential is always there, and should be anticipated. Nearly all of our previous partners have experienced an increase in membership enrollment. Many have even partnered or absorbed other clubs in and around there own community through the process.
How will this benefit the individual player?
The possibilities are almost limitless for the individual player. With options, this partnership can afford the players such as select teams and guest playing from all the Rush partners. Information concerning player development issues can be shared and coaches and players alike will now have a resource to share ideas to further their development.
Will the tryout process be the same as it was before?
The club will continue it's normal tryout format. Any changes will be decided by the clubs management team. Our goal long term is to eliminate tryouts for player already enrolled in the club.
What, if any, obligations does the club have to comply with?
Two things: 1) We expect our partners to transition into Nike through Eurosport. Teams transition at their own accord and under the supervision of their own club; and, 2) The Rush also expect effort. Effort to becoming the best soccer club they can be. The Rush expect the club to uphold the Rush brand in a positive image.

So team pulling out of delco brings up some good points. Pun intended.
I am starting to wonder what the purpose is of these tournaments at this age. Yes showcases make sense. But what is the purpose of them at u13. Bragging rights and points seem to me to be the reason you do these things. Does it test the best soccer team? Probably not. That can be done better in a singular game. Does it test fitness. Yes. 4 games in two days is a lot about fitness and health. Depth yes. I think the teams with 19 healthy fit players have a big advantage in these things. Its certainly a great venue to gain points. But are these events helpful in the development of our youth soccer talent. Im just not sure. I would love to hear counter arguments.
- May 25, 2016 at 10:52 AM
10:52- US Soccer training centers do send coaches to these types of tournments. Whever or not they actually look at this specific age group is unknown but if they do it will be in the Champions bracket.
I agree that alot of the tournaments are just about getting points and trying to be on the leader board as the top team. But do disagree on the development. Playing the actual games is very helpful in using your tactical skills. It helps to home skills in identifying others weaknesses and strengths Unfortunately as with most of the tournments you keep playing some of the same teams over and over so that seems pointless. Why travel all the way to another state to play teams that are within your local driving area with no hotel fees is still a bill annoying.
If a team drops out of a tournment due to injuries then in my opinion that team is all about winning and points. Many teams have to get guest players to attend these tournments to fill in for some missing players.
- May 25, 2016 at 11:18 AM
How do you lose points by losing at a tournament? Is there some ante up thing going on with points. I find points incredibly confusing beyond the stupidity of them. Is there a document the tournaments offer which lays out the points on offer or what you would put at risk by playing and losing? I tried to read some of the gotsoccer help files and it hurt my brain.
- May 25, 2016 at 12:09 PM
The euro trainers that I respect do not hold in high regard the American tournament formats. 4 or 5 games in 2 or 3 days is just wrong for the game and the kids. Injuries, exhausted play. It's great in justifying 1200 buck tournaments and profits. It might be about points. It could be a good time to integrate new players joining for next year. Abroad they will do a 3 day tournament with one game per day. In the older brackets, Delco is 1 game per day which is the right way to do it. Why is it at the older age brackets they get it right but at the younger ages, they miss the market miserably? If the director told you that you only could play 1 game per day, would your teams go register for different events? They feel they have to offer more, and in the end, its a disservice to the sport and the kids.
- May 25, 2016 at 12:23 PM
Tournaments are massive cash register machines. The Clubs do it for the love of the game but absolutely want to fill their pockets.
- May 25, 2016 at 12:33 PM
Tournament should be used for the purpose of getting ALL players lots of playing time. Not narrowing it down to the top 13. Typically rostering 18 players allows teams to withstand a few injuries and field a team. This is supposed to be about development and it is important for players to be exposed to other positions they may not play during the season to become more well rounded players. that is the best use of tournament time. Some teams just focus on winning and won't risk reputation in lieu of doing the right thing by the players that have committed to them. Guest players work well, but some are rogue teams without club depth and bringing in other players. And there is always the problem of players not wanting to play once they have been cut. That is their loss but understood.
- May 25, 2016 at 1:13 PM
There is no problem with the current tournament format. The problem is playing in too many tournaments or not taking a rest week after. Playing multiple games in a short period of team provides an opportunity to re-enforce what's been taught and learned in training.
- May 25, 2016 at 1:56 PM
Just looked at the scheduling for FC Delco. It looks like a team dropped out of the Champsionship Division. Bracket A Winner HMMS Impact. Bracket B Clarkstown Bracket C Waza FC.
- May 26, 2016 at 8:29 AM
@8:29 - Look at the data that was posted above on the DELCO Champ Div. I agree with your Waza pick, but must respectfully disagree with your other picks. Unless you are gambling on a "it's their time" philosophy, HMMS is 0-2-2 against its bracket this season and SDFC is 2-0 against Clarkstown this season. HMMS might win its bracket, but South Shore has the upper hand. There is no way that Clarkstown advances. SDFC has been finishing the season strong.
- May 26, 2016 at 9:30 AM
@930 Thanks sdfc parent or maybe coach!
- May 26, 2016 at 11:32 AM
North United most skilled team in that division. Waza will play sdfc and rush blue will play north united in qtr. waza rush blue semi. Waza South shore final. Clarkstown Susa go winless.
- May 26, 2016 at 11:51 AM
@11:32 - Not a SDFC parent or coach, just calling it like I see it. Since March, SDFC is 16-3-1 with a 5-1 win over SUSA, 3-1 win over Clarkstown, and 4-1 win over Cherry Hill. The three losses are one goal losses to HMMS, Arsenal, and Wilmington Hammerheads. The draw was 0-0 against Rush Grey. Not too shabby.
- May 26, 2016 at 1:57 PM
Not too shabby? Name a strong team that sdfc beat this season?
- May 26, 2016 at 3:44 PM
They are really goid at beating the piss out of bad teams. Which is one of the flaws with the ysr ranking model. It over values excess goals.
- May 26, 2016 at 4:22 PM
In 2 days by 5pm on Saturday you'll have your answer. If its an SDFC parent defending your team, go enjoy your success and your top ranking the nation. I think you were in the Semi-finals of the Region 1 Championships. Stop listening to the peanuts in the gallery. The haters on here gonna hate.
- May 26, 2016 at 4:26 PM
SDFC is not the top rank anymore!
- May 26, 2016 at 4:30 PM
Sdfc is a decent team that does not demonstrate much individual skill outside of a couple of girls. Do not think they were homegrown.
- May 26, 2016 at 4:52 PM
Yup! You can't name one.
- May 26, 2016 at 11:22 PM
I think @8:29 on May 26 answers the question about which top team SDFC has beaten, and that is Clarkstown. SDFC and Clarkstown are both GS Diamond level teams with SDFC #2 and Clarkstown #4 in the Region
- May 27, 2016 at 8:33 AM
Using the most recent GS rankings, DELCO should end up like this:
Bracket A
NEW JERSEY RUSH GREY (NJ) (#6 in Region)
SUSA FC LONG ISLAND (NYE) (#9 in Region)
SOUTH SHORE SELECT (MA) (#11 in Region)
HMMS IMPACT (PAE) (#14 in Region)
Bracket B
SDFC RAGE (NJ) (#2 in Region)
CLARKSTOWN (NYE) (#4 in Region)
NORTH UNITED (PAW) (#24 in Region)
Bracket C
NEW JERSEY RUSH BLUE (NJ) (#1 in Region, #1 in Nation)
ALBERTSON (NYE) (#12 in Region)
WAZA FC EAST (MI) (#15 in Region 2, #155 in Nation)
Quarter-final (B#1 v. C#2) and (C#1 v. B#2)
SDFC RAGE (NJ) (#2 in Region)
ALBERTSON (NYE) (#12 in Region)
NEW JERSEY RUSH BLUE (NJ) (#1 in Region)
CLARKSTOWN (NYE) (#4 in Region)
NEW JERSEY RUSH BLUE (NJ) (#1 in Region)
SDFC RAGE (NJ) (#2 in Region)
Final (Semi-Final #1 v. A#1)
NEW JERSEY RUSH BLUE (NJ) (#1 in Region) - Champion
NEW JERSEY RUSH GREY (NJ) (#6 in Region)
According to GS: Rush Blue, SDFC, and Clarkstown are the three strongest teams; and HMMS, North United, and Waza are the three weakest teams in the division.
- May 27, 2016 at 9:02 AM
@452 you are correct, no individual talent there. US national training centers want individuals not teams.
- May 27, 2016 at 9:16 AM
Got soccer worthless as a predictor
Heres my prediction based on what i have seen but have not seen every team and ysr.
1. South Shore
2. Hmms
3. Rush Grey
4. Susa
5. Cherry Hill
1. North United
2. Sdfc
3. Clarkstown
C: group of death
1. Waza
2. Rush Blue
3. Albertson
Qtr A: north united v rush blue
Qtr B: waza v sdfc
Semi. Rush blue v waza
Final: south Shore v waza.
Waza wins.
While i am hopeful rush blue will beat waza to give nj soccer validation Waza is a real deal team.
I think hmms and south shore are close to even
sdfc could surprise and win that division if north united is not sharp
- May 27, 2016 at 9:29 AM
Cherry Hill, at #21 in the Region, was left out of the GS ranking analysis of DELCO. Cherry Hill should have been included in Bracket A. However, this oversight does not affect the outcome of the analysis, but does affect the list of the three weakest teams. Considering Cherry Hill, the three weakest teams would be Cherry Hill, North United, and Waza according to GS.
- May 27, 2016 at 9:34 AM
@9:16 - I'll take the team player over the little MeMe any day.
- May 27, 2016 at 9:37 AM
I would put the delco teams in the following tiers
Rush Blue
South Shore
North United
Rush grey
Cherry hill
- May 27, 2016 at 9:41 AM
9:34 Waza is the best team in the tournament. Keep smoking the gotsoccer rankings. Waza will clean up every team with the possible exception of rush blue.
- May 27, 2016 at 9:45 AM
Hard to predict DELCO - a lot may depend on who shows up: end of a long season injuries, players starting to slip away to new teams, guest players, etc. Although, you would think that teams moving on to the Region 1 tournament would be trying to stay together and maintain the style of play that got them there.
- May 27, 2016 at 9:57 AM
Waza team playing is a product of a pool system they will pull from the 5 different teams from the age group. There model is to have multiple teams and tourney's where they will travel a far distance for they pull together best players. They don't chase the GS points like many club teams in our NY/NJ/PA area do.
That group of death will be the most interesting games and whom ever comes out of that group will end up in the finals.
- May 27, 2016 at 10:04 AM
It is strange that the NJ Crush NPL squad was not placed in the top flight. They are better than a couple of the teams in the top flight. How do they justify this?
- May 27, 2016 at 11:18 AM
@9:47 you can be a team player and still have skills.
- May 27, 2016 at 12:22 PM
Waza is a great team,but they always use guest players from all over for tournaments.
- May 27, 2016 at 12:29 PM
Last i checked, soccer is a team sport, team before individual, we before I. That maybe is the problem with a lot of teams and clubs, and why the kids are so miserable and parents intolerable.
Most kids aren't getting into bed at night longing to be part of Jill Ellis's national team, or even thinking about College soccer,let alone know what college, college soccer let alone high school soccer is about. They just simply want to have fun, get as good as possible, work hard and be there for their teammates.
- May 27, 2016 at 1:12 PM
You dont pay 3k to develop your team you pay 3k to develop your kid.
- May 27, 2016 at 3:10 PM
@310 exactly!
- May 27, 2016 at 7:49 PM
This is U13? At what age are you proposing they begin to learn how to work with the strenghts and weaknesses on their teams and learn how to exploit the strengths and weaknesses of their opponents?
If I am paying 3K a year, it better include this instruction and the team better be ready to learn and execute some more sophisticated strategies.
- May 28, 2016 at 11:44 AM
Group A - HMMS on top after day one, but it is still anyone's bracket. Good competition. All games decided by one goal or less.
Group B - North United dominating. Wins the group to play Rush Blue, which may be the game of the day tomorrow. SDFC out of it.
Group of Death (aka C) - Waza gets by Rush Blue and pounds Albertson. Albertson out of it and will play SDFC in a consolation game. SDFC haters called it right. Waza meets Clarkstown from Group B next. Expect Waza to meet the winner of North United v. Rush Blue in the semi-final.
- May 28, 2016 at 7:26 PM
Seems like rush blue v north united gonna be a better game than anticipated. Still give rush half goal advantage. But would have given 1.5 previously.
- May 29, 2016 at 12:07 PM
DELCO Day Two -
Group A (aka the true group of death) – Again all games very competitive and decided by one goal or less. South Shore fights to a draw against both SUSA (0-0) and HMMS (1-1) and goes home. SUSA also plays to a 2-2 draw against Cherry Hill. Rush Grey takes down HMMS 2-1 and then defeats Cherry Hill 4-3 to advance to the final.
Quarter-Finals A – The match of the day does not disappoint. Rush Blue and North United play through two overtimes with score knotted at one goal apiece. Rush Blue wins on kicks from the mark.
Quarter-Finals B – Waza easily handles Clarkstown 3-0.
Semi-Final – It's almost deja vu all over again for Rush Blue as it takes Waza to kicks from the mark, but in this case it is Waza that is victorious on the kicks.
Final on Monday morning – Waza v. Rush Grey.
- May 29, 2016 at 4:23 PM
And Waza prevails 2-1 over Rush Grey. Gotta give a shout out to Grey for defying the posters and taking it all the to the final half.
- May 30, 2016 at 10:12 AM
Rush gonna have a monster 02 team if the combine best 02s from u13 and u14
- May 30, 2016 at 4:29 PM
Rush Blue combined with SJEB at 99-02 age groups - New Club . Rush Grey staying separate and about an hour North. All quite good players.
- May 30, 2016 at 9:51 PM
Here's another view on DELCO. Within group play, Group A had an average goal differential of 0.7 with no match being decided by more than one goal. A very balanced group. Rush Grey advanced out of this group with the same W-D-L record and same goal differential as HMMS, but having more total goals than HMMS. Groups B and C, the two smaller groups, had a combined average goal differential of 2.5 through their semi-final game. There were several blowout games in these two groups, with Albertson Pre-ECNL, Clarkstown, and SDFC taking some beatings from North United and Waza Waza advanced out of this inter-group play on kicks after playing to a draw against Rush Blue in the semi-final. Interestingly, Rush Blue ended play as a semi-finalist with a -1 goal differential. Rush Blue, HMMS, South Shore, North United, and SDFC should all get another chance at each other in the U13 Region I Championship, assuming North United wins PAW next weekend.
- May 31, 2016 at 9:45 AM
9.45 Delco did a good job bracketing F1 and it was great weekend of soccer to watch in my opinion. Well balance brackets and gave lower level teams in F1 bracket B & C an opportunity to play spoiler to move on.
Let's get the discussion started if your an 02 moving on to U15 next year which memorial weekend event would you rather be at Delco or PDA's?
- May 31, 2016 at 10:33 AM
PDA had much better quality at U15, including non-ECNL teams, than DELCO did at U15.
- May 31, 2016 at 10:53 AM
Cherry Hill should of been in second flight. They can kick and run to beat weaker teams but clearly can't play vs. top teams. but if you listen to their sidelines it's always the refs fault when they lose.
- May 31, 2016 at 12:31 PM
Looks like gotsoccer for this group now u15
- June 1, 2016 at 7:37 PM
gotsoccer modified the ages on gotsoccer profiles based on the age of the oldest player. so for most thats 2002 thus u15 . once your teams edit the rosters and get rid of the 2002s, you should fall back to u14.
- June 1, 2016 at 8:03 PM
803 is correct it will take about a few months(August) until club's organize players properly for GS to align right. Some club's accross the country are not even finish tryouts yet.
- June 1, 2016 at 8:47 PM
PDA is far more desirable beginning at u15. No question at all. I say this assuming your kid is a high enough level to begin to pique the top tier (top 50 or so RPI, College's interest in 8th grade. And believe me that's when they start tracking kids. You might not even know they are tracking your kid for a year or more, but if she's good, they are.
- June 2, 2016 at 8:50 AM
850 are you serious most these girls are only headed into 8th grade let them enjoy playing the sport. Why talk about college now, 99% of these girls do not even know where to attend or want course to take in college, let alone thinking of playing soccer in college yet. Stop leaving your life through your kid!
- June 2, 2016 at 10:36 AM
8:50. How do you know when they start tracking your kid? Are there any indicatives that they will use to help select like odp pdp etc? How can you make it easy for coaches to start tracking them?

4:47 PM +1 Some who have gone through this with more than one kid have learned some of these lessons the hard way. Unfortunately for many, the only way to learn it is to experience it yourself. My first was on the fast track and was accepted D1 and some D3s and went D1 and 2 years later doesn't play the sport any more. My youngest we're now taking a more prudent path. We passed on a super high level program to accept something more local but still very good with great kids. She's happy, thriving and we've come to realize that is all that matters. Smiles mean more than goals for us these days though we've been through it both ways. To each is one's own.
- June 2, 2016 at 4:53 PM
Kumbaya its time for the group hug.
- June 2, 2016 at 5:42 PM
I know because several college coaches told my older kid they were tracking her beginning in 8th grade (u14).
Its like everything else in parenting you have to look out for your kid's future when they aren't mature enough to make decisions to ensure their own success. Of course the "right place" doesn't make them miserable or bankrupt the family before the haters take hold of this. Not living through them helping them find the right place for them to reach their potential. No different from a private school or tutor or sat class or violin lessons with a master or city orchestra etc...
- June 3, 2016 at 11:31 AM
Any info on when tracking will start now? If they continue to start at u14, they will get 1/2 7th graders.
- June 3, 2016 at 7:18 PM
The college coaches won't be scouting age groups they will be scouting graduating classes. You will still see some coaches at high level only ( national league / ECNL showcases) u14 games tracking exceptional 8th graders. They are the ones who have been invited to national camp or are outstanding on their top level teams, but kept out of camps for unfathomable reasons. The college coaches see through he politics and other factors keeping great players out.
- June 5, 2016 at 3:10 PM
The 2002/2003s aren't done as U13s quite yet. A big day today in USYS State Cup play. Results so far:
DE - Kirkwood 2, DE Rush 0.
VA - DC Stoddard 2, Beach FC 0.
PAW - North United 2, Beadling 0.
MA - FCUSA 1, South Shore 0. This may be the upset of the day. South Shore now uses its position as the RCL Champion to advance to the Region 1 tournament. This prevents SDFC from going to the tournament. Will FCUSA replicate success in the Philly market next year?
MD - Pipeline defeats Bethesda. No score available yet.
NYW - Games underway late today.
Many of the familiar faces from EDP, RCL and local MidAtlantic tournaments will be in Barboursville, so the teams will know a lot about each other.

10:17 - On what ticket?
- June 9, 2016 at 10:55 AM
10:17 Who cares.
- June 9, 2016 at 11:00 AM
It would make sense that starting in the fall there will be far less college attention paid to the U14 group. Every soccer team has a very limited recruiting budget, and they will spend their time and money scouting U15-U18 depending on who you are. The big schools fill classes about a year early than the mid-majors and smaller conference schools. I do know several current U14 ECNL players who have been actively scouted. I have to think that is less likely next year.
- June 9, 2016 at 11:03 AM
10:17 obviously someone cared enough to post it on the blog. Your comment just comes off as a distrungled jack? that possibly was eliminated somewhere along the way. If you really didn't care your would not have bothered to comment at all. LOSER
- June 9, 2016 at 11:04 AM
I wonder who dropped out,in order for sdfc to now qualify?
You should be so proud of that. Who is the LOSER now????
- June 9, 2016 at 12:19 PM
12:19 I still think you are the LOSER because for someone who did not care you cant seem to stop blogging about it. What are you some at home daddy with too much time on your hands.

I guess in your eyes TRUTH=LOSER.
Have a great time in W Virginia loosing.

You are all overstating the importance or impact of girls DA. It will affect maybe 20 girls per birth year in NJ and it's an open question as to whether the DA model can succeed in developing world class talent in the United States. The simple fact is that the truly elite athletes in the US play multiple sports which is almost impossible under the DA model. I'm sure that the level of play for DA will be very good but I don't see our elite athletes giving up lax, basketball, etc., to play DA. Why should they?
DA is coming because the USSF wants to exert its control over all of soccer in the U.S. The existing program of development has done pretty well: US women are the best in the world by a wide margin and only lose when they underachieve. How is girls DA going to top that?

Very very few college programs attend Barboursville for any of the age groups. It is not an easy place to get to and if you are going to spend budget money on recruiting this is not the place a coach will go. Choice between going to San Diego or Barboursville, it is pretty simple. For those of you that have not yet been to Barboursville....you will see. There is NO worse place an event could be scheduled. You won't be handing out many profiles.

4:43 Sorry but not everyone has the funds to do ECNL and travel to CA. So hopefully girls DA will help those families that want there daughter to be seen with less expense.
- June 10, 2016 at 5:31 PM
less expense? go ask the boys at all programs other than like Redbulls and Phil Union. its WAY more cash.

4:43pm. Incorrect about College Coaches not going there. They do. In abundance. My older daughters team went last year, granted they are High Schoolers but we had 20-30 coaches at each game. You are correct on one thing though, the location and some of the fields are terrible and it boggles the mind why they host Regionals there. Still it's the last of the 2 year cycle so next year will be somewhere else.

4:43 and 8:20 - Marshall certainly gets a close look at the teams. It carried 5 players on its roster from PAE in 2015 and has another PAE player joining the team in 2016. At that, Marshall has been recruiting on a nationwide basis, so its percentage of PAE players is surprisingly high.
- June 13, 2016 at 8:59 AM
1:23 the writing is on the wall. The pool of wealthy who can afford ECNL gets smaller every year, as the economy sinks. The rest of world (ROW) does not have a pay to play model, so they can pick from 100% eligible kids, not the 5% represented by the ECNL. I'm surprised this had to be spelled out for you.
- June 13, 2016 at 1:00 PM
Marshall coach was a regional ODP coach. He recruited heavily from that position. Smart move on his part in my opinion.

EDP Summer Classic! Will PDA Lyon take it all at U13, or will the Red Bulls RDS show that their brand name attracts even better talent?

"EDP Summer Classic! Will PDA Lyon take it all at U13, or will the Red Bulls RDS show that their brand name attracts even better talent?"
Lyon wins either way.
This is funny.
"Lyon" in this tournament is the new 2004 team for next season playing summer select with its new tiny U11 kids added to the ones who were 04's already.
"Red Bulls" in this tournament have a roster of whom the best players consist of several 2003 Lyon team members since PDA not doing summer select for 2003's. others are )2/03's from World Class.
Red Bull &older Lyon over new 04 Lyon.
- June 15, 2016 at 10:55 PM
10:55 excuses for Lyon already? Ouch.
- June 15, 2016 at 11:14 PM
Have you seen Marshall or been to that area before?? If you have other choices to get the free education then don't go Marshall. I
- June 16, 2016 at 11:37 AM
So pda lyon. How did it go? Was it you or the red bulls?
- June 19, 2016 at 2:50 PM
Chil. It's summer soccer. Time to play with others or start working with new age group teammates. Props to anyone playing up and getting a head start on the fall.
- June 19, 2016 at 10:00 PM
Why are Lyons even on this blog? They should stay at age group where they belong. They were an easy win for us, score could have been much higher.
- June 20, 2016 at 9:36 AM
"No! We will not die like dogs, we will fight like Lyons."
- June 20, 2016 at 10:33 AM
Lyons can take any u13 team, except the one from last weekend. We should be on this bog as we are good enough to compete with this age group. We kept all the strongest members of the team at 04.
- June 20, 2016 at 10:59 AM
No shame in that loss Lyons. Thats a good team that can play with anyone except maybe rush blue when they play well.
- June 20, 2016 at 4:27 PM
Region 1 Championships U13G Groups:
Group A (aka Group of Death)
(PA-E) (SC) HMMS Eagle FC Impact
(NY-E) (SC) Levittown Wildcats
(NJ) (CL1) SDFC Rage
(MA) (SWC) South Shore Select
Group B
(CT) (SC) Ginga FC
(MA) (SC) FCUSA Coastal Impact
(MD) (SC) Pipeline
(VT) (SC) Far Post Premier
Group C
(PA-W) (SC) North United Rush
(DE) (SC) Kirkwood Academy 02/03
(NY-W) (SC) WNY Flash Academy
(VT) (SWC) Nordic Premier
Group D
(NJ) (SC) NJ Rush 02 Blue
(VA) (SC) DC Stoddert Metros
(ME) (SC) Velocity Premier SC Boynton
Three of the best teams in the tournament, all of which under a more balanced seeding could be playing in the final, will beat each other up in Group A. Too close to call a winner of the Group.
Pipeline takes Group B with little effort.
North United takes Group C.
Rush Blue takes Group D just by showing up.
The only team in the tournament to have beaten Rush Blue this year is HMMS, although Pipeline and North United have played Rush Blue close. However, HMMS has lost to and tied South Shore, had a close call against SDFC, and has struggled against Pipeline. South Shore likely advances out of Group A.
South Shore and Rush Blue play in the final, with Rush Blue taking it all.

I found three cocks in this picture; one swings left, one swings right, and one hangs right in the middle.
Hey there TWOPEAS, "something happening in the bed pg 13?" What does that mean? pg13 of what? My mama always told me I was slow. Is 13 supposed to add the air of mystery here. What page, what book? Alice in Wonderland pg 13 is all backwards. I dunno what to do. Help! Help!
Great comments ! There are christmas postcards available with something happening in the bed pg13. Folk art and carvings are for sale.
Not for sale??.....I thought that the body under the bed might be one looky loo to many!
I don't think Dave sells this stuff. This is just the way he likes to decorate his bedroom.
If you think this picture is colorfull, you should meet the artists!
Wow! I want to move in! I feel like a kid in a fairy tale just looking at the picture. I want that to be my bedroom. Can I have the whole thing for Christmas? I have been mostly good!
Interesting stuff!..... I wonder who that is under the bed?? Also, I wish there were some price tags on those carvings.
Amazing color range. It's like Alice in Wonderland. Very fun to search around. Can I buy these carvings online? I really wish I could - Wink wink. Hint hint ;-)

Why hasent Hasbro made a 12" Sidious figure yet? Is there any particular reason or are they planning to make one in the future?
Why hasent Hasbro made a 12" Sidious figure yet? Is there any particular reason or are they planning to make one in the future?
"At last we will reveal ourselves to the jedi, at last we will have revenge."
Darh Maul-Episode 1
Hasbro at Comic Con: The 12 inch Count Dooku will continue to be released in later shipments as popularity was underestimated "for an old man with a beard".
...and Sidious is an old man without a beard.
A 12" Darth Sidious was planned for the E1 line. But since the E1 line didn't perform as well as was expected, quite a few 12" figures wound up being cancelled. It's not realy needed though, since the 12" Emporer Palpatine looks about the same as Sidious. The cancelled Senator Palpatine, Nute Gunray, and Rune Haako are higher on many people's want list, from what I've seen.
MTFBWY and HH!!
Jar Jar Binks
AGENTS OF ATLAS - Returns in Early 2009.
I would love to see some 12 inch figures of Rune and Nute!!!!
Urban Exploration - It's a rush!
A 12" Senator/Chancellor Palpatine would be great. I loved the detail they got with the 4" version and it would only look better in a 12" version. I agree that a Sidious would be somewhat redundant but that shouldn't rule out a Senator or Chancellor version.

I think a 12" Sidious would be great, way better than those 2 terrible 12" Emperor figures. Maybe they could do a fan-club exclusive "holographic" version too.
Darth Vader is becoming the Mickey Mouse of Star Wars.
Kylo Ren - came from Space Brooklyn, although he moved to Space Williamsburg before it was trendy.
The use of a lightsaber does not make one a Jedi, it is the ability to not use it.
truly sad they never got around to making an Episode 1 Palpatine or Sidious. mainly Palpatine because of the ornate blue costuming he had. would have been neat if he came with a little floating droid like the 3" version. Geez, he only was the "phantom menace" in the title. We were given way too many 12" mauls instead. Maul with speedbike, maul with break apart abdomen, maul with george forman grill..etc... oh well just hope Palpatine/ Sidious gets his due.
"If my calculations are correct, when this baby hits 88mph, your gonna see some serious...."
Yeah I also hope they make a Sidious.
"Eat My Shorts"-Bart Simpson
"I SEE YOU''-Sauron the Dark Lord
-Maul- l_l
It will probably never happen but that is one 12" I would buy for sure.
Talk Show Host Interviewing Joker: Your said to have only killed about 600 people Joker. Now dont take this the wrong way but I think youve been holding out on us.
Joker: I dont keep count. Im going to kill everyone in this room.
I don't think there is any reason that it wouldn't happen. I'm actually suprised it didn't come out with TPM. After the release of the Chancellor Veloreum/Guard 2-pack I thought for sure we'd see Palpatine make an appearance. There's plenty of time for it to be added to the 12" line.

Object Oriented vs. Procedural Programming
Coming off of Pong, I tried to everything with classes. In my next iteration, I found a balance between Object-Oriented and Procedural Programming, creating functions to handle common tasks, and knowing what to make a member function and what to not. I'm now using both classes and functions depending on my needs, which makes my code cleaner, and more expansive. When I wanted to add a new row of bricks, all I did was type in 1 lines of code to create the bricks, but since I had a function that automatically updated a row I passed in as a parameter and a function that draws the row, it was ~4 more lines to add the row into my game loop.
Vectors and Arrays: Their Limitations and Uses
I ran into a predicament about halfway through where I couldn't use a non-default constructor on my array. I Googled Arrays and was pointed to vectors. In the documentation it talked about how to initialize an array of vectors using a non-default constructor. Problem Solved! I also learned array are automatically passed by reference, unlike vectors, and how I can use arrays vs. how I can use vectors.
Structure and Organization
Commenting. I fully commented my code, and made it a habit through this project. It should help your guys understanding, and mine if I ever want to modify my code. I also used white-space / indentation to structure and organize my code. Having a block of code for creating images, and another for loading those images from files, makes finding where I'm doing things and how I'm doing them easy.

By NEMS Daily Journal
A bill to avert the fiscal cliff's full impact passed the U.S. Senate in the early morning hours Tuesday, but it was late Tuesday night before the U.S. House approved it on a 257 to 167 vote, with a majority of Republicans voting against it and a majority of Democrats voting for it.
The votes were hailed by many leaders in both parties, even though it didn't go as far many wanted in cutting spending, or as far as many wanted in raising income taxes on the most well off Americans.
The bill would assure that about 98 to 99 percent of American taxpayers do not face higher income taxes in 2013. It would raise taxes on couples making $450,000 and more per year, plus other high-income earners.
U.S. senators Thad Cochran, R-Miss., and Roger Wicker, R-Miss., both voted for the bill along with 87 of their colleagues, Republicans and Democrats.
"This agreement averts a massive tax hike by extending current income tax rates permanently for 99 percent of Americans," said Wicker, of Tupelo. "It is not perfect, and there is still work left to do. Congress and the president must reduce the federal deficit. … Today's vote is a step in the right direction …"
Cochran, who has homes in Oxford and Jackson, said, "Failure to enact this package would mean broad tax increases and across-the-board cuts that would be too great a burden for our nation and for Mississippi. As imperfect as it is, this plan will ensure that the income taxes for most families in Mississippi will not shoot upward this year. There is much more work to be done to responsibly implement spending cuts and other measures to reduce the federal deficit."
Cochran and Wicker recognize the value in even an imperfect compromise.
It's expected that additional,, complex and contentious debate on spending cuts,, debt reduction and deficit control will follow in the early months of the new Congress, which begins Thursday. Had the House not voted to approve the fiscal cliff bill the process would have had to start over with the new Congress,, and few members,, if any, favored that option.
Taxpayers, businesses, the financial markets and the rest of the world need to know that the United States can stabilize itself, even as important debate continues further down the road.

Here is an E-mail I received from a good, reliable friend. Unfortunately, that is all I can say regarding the message I am about to enclose.

Hi All,
> >>
> >> I think you all know that I don't send out hoaxes and don't do the reactionary thing and send out anything that crosses my path. This one,
> >> however, is a friend of a friend and I've given it enough credibility in my mind that I'm writing it up and sending it out to all of you.
My friend's friend was dating a guy from Afghanistan up until a month ago.
She had a date with him around 9/6 and was stood up. She was
understandably upset and went to his home to find it completely emptied. On 9/10, she
received a letter from her boyfriend explaining that he wished he could tell her why he had left and that he was sorry it had to be like that. The part
worth mentioning is that he BEGGED her not to get on any commercial airlines
on 9/11 and to not to go any malls on Halloween. As soon as everything
happened on the 11th, she called the FBI and has since turned over the letter.
This is not an email that I've received and decided to pass on. This came from a phone conversation with a long-time friend of mine last night. I may be wrong, and I hope I am. However, with one of his warnings being correct and devastating, I'm not willing to take the chance on the second and
wanted to make sure that people I cared about had the same information that I did.

Again, I have no way of knowing this is true or not. I thought that if by small chance it was, than it would be best for all to know. Also, keep in mind the recent attacks on Afghanistan might cause for them to speed up their plans (if this was true) or even delay them (scary thought).
I left the phone #s and E-mails out cuz, this message has probably reached hundreds if not thousands of people by now, but if you want the original, let me know.
Again, I did not create this message, I received this from a trustworthy friend.

If I'm reading this correctly, it seems that each level of the power gives you that number of extra action cards when the power is invoked. The scale also includes how many times you can call upon the power in a round. The power itself takes one action card. So this is the regular chart:
Code: Select all
Level / Extra Action Cards Uses per Round
1 1
2 1
3 2
4 2
5 3
This also means that the net gain in cards per round (if you used the maximum number of uses of the power per round) would be thus:
Level 1: 0
Level 2: 1
Level 3: 4
Level 4: 6
Level 5: 12
Which means that the first level of the power is completely useless while levels 3 through 5 are unholy obscene.
Goff's comment seemed to indicate this wasn't the intention, and that at level 3 you would sacrifice one card to gain 2, which doesn't seem to make any sense from my reading of the power.
Does anyone have a clarification for this?

Flooding soaks Peaceful Valley and Centennial Trail
SPOKANE, Wash. - A flood warning is in effect as the Spokane River continued to rise Sunday. The river crested at 27.7 feet at 10:45 a.m. just above flood stage.
A sunny run turned into a soggy walk for many people along the Centennial Trail. Julie Horton was helping her friend train for a marathon.
"We had to detour around some of the water and change into some dry shoes," Horton said.
"It's crazy. The river's higher than I've ever seen it and I've lived here a long time," Michelle Greenwood said.Flooding soaks Peaceful Valley and Centennial Trail
Anything over 25.5 feet floods the trail, and the river even spilled onto Upriver Drive near Stone, causing crews to close it. Trucks full of sand are now parked around the city if the river continues to rise.
"We're one of the, probably one of the lowest houses in this town," Deanna Snulan said on her back lawn in Peaceful Valley.
Snulan has water from the river spilling onto her lawn.
"I love the river, it's very calming normally," Snulan said. "Right now it's a little nerve-wracking."
Snulan doesn't expect any major damage to her property this week. She says her yard is flooded so often, the sandy beach behind her home is made with the sand from sandbags accumulated over the years. She still enjoys living near the river, even on days like this.
"There's a lot of years where it's absolutely stress-free and it's very worth it," she said.
Snulan says she'll keep a close eye on the river until the warning ends on Friday.

Prime Cuts: Eddie Van Halen Breaks Down 10 Van Halen Classics, from "Eruption" to "Right Now"
"Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love"
Van Halen
" 'Ain't Talkin' 'Bout Love' was originally supposed to be a punk rock parody. It was a stupid thing to us, just two chords. It didn't end up sounding punk, but that was the intention.
I doubled the solo section with an electric sitar. It could have been a Coral, but it looked real cheap. It looked like a Danelectro. I never really knew it was an electric sitar, because it didn't sound like one. It just sounded like a buzzy-fretted guitar. That thing was real bizarre."

wave 3 cars have been found, supposedly at WM!
I found new multi-packs of Cars cars at WalMart today,with the new blue-sparkly packaging. They didn't have any "new" versions, just multi-pack boxes of the old ones- but lots of Filmores and Sarges for those who never found them.
Come to think of it, while at the 24-hour Walmart in Glendora I saw a huge box that said "Cars Fall" pallet or something like that. It said there were like 150 items plus a display. It made me wonder if there were new Cars in there.
Galactic Barn Burner
Yeah, the stuff I found in Duarte today was on a "Cars" themed island (four sided) in the middle of an aisle. Lots of the box sets, plus plush dolls and the wind-ups.
don't forget that the dvd comes out next tuesday!
I got a complete set of the vehicles for my daughter, but she seems to have lost interest in them pretty fast(though she loves the movie). So I just have them displayed on a shelf. I'm totally not a fan of little cars though. It just ain't my "thang."
Galactic Barn Burner
suuuuure luuuuuke. that's the 2nd or 3rd time i've heard you say that and you know they say the more you try to publically deny something, the greater the likelihood that it's actually true. just admit that they're for you!
Are the new cars and box sets Wal Mart exclusives? I haven't seen any sign of them at Target.
speck, there are 4 packs which are WM exclusives - however those are all repacked cars.
the new ones like Hudson Hornet, Blue Mater, Radiator Springs McQueen are not exclusives and should be showing up at Target soon. on another board that i visit, someone found them at a target in LaVerne
How many "new" cars are coming out? I count:
Yellow Ramone (edit)
Hudson Hornet
Lightning McQueen with his Radiator Springs makeover
What else has been confirmed?
These have been found in stores already, and are all over ebay.

This portrait of playwright William Shakespeare, attributed to Martin Droeshout the Younger, is among the 100 portraits of poets, novelists and essayists pulled from the holdings of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections and placed on display as part of an exhibition in Firestone Library's main gallery. There is a dispute about who created this portrait for the famous "first folio" of Shakespeare's plays. Droeshout the Younger was only 22 when this engraving was published. His uncle, also named Martin Droeshout, was an established engraver and perhaps a more probable choice. However, experts most often choose Droeshout the Younger "because the stiff pose and oddly proportioned body are thought to be the work of a very young artist," according to the annotated checklist published with the exhibition.
This photograph of author Beatrix Potter at age 19 was taken by her father, Rupert Potter. He was trained as a barrister but never practiced law, instead choosing to pursue the "new" art of photography.

Exhibition features portraits of famed authors
Posted January 25, 2010; 10:20 a.m.
A new exhibition has filled Firestone Library's main gallery with 100 portraits of poets, novelists and essayists, pulled from the holdings of the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections.
Titled "The Author's Portrait: 'O, Could He But Have Drawne His Wit,'" the exhibition showcases paintings, drawings, prints, photographs, marble sculptures and plaster death masks dating from 1489 to 1989. Among the writers featured are William Shakespeare (about whom the quote in the exhibition's title was written by contemporary Ben Jonson), Virgil, Mark Twain, George Sand and Sojourner Truth. Artists whose work is on view include William Blake, Constantin Brancusi, Jean-Antoine Houdon, Willem de Passe and Auguste Rodin.
Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges was captured here by photographer Elsa Dorfman in the early 1970s "at the Midget Restaurant," according to the caption written below the image. The restaurant is located in Cambridge, Mass., where Dorfman has her studio.
Many of the portraits stem from friendships that were formed or flourished over long afternoons of conversation between artist and sitter, such as Édouard Manet and Charles Baudelaire, William Hogarth and Henry Fielding, Lucas Cranach the Elder and Martin Luther, and Ilia Efimovich Repin and Leo Tolstoy. Animosities also developed, such as that between the artist William Marshall and the poet John Milton, who famously told his readers (writing in Greek so the artist could not understand) to "laugh at the botching artist's mis-attempt." Charles Dickens had Daniel Maclise throw out all his early sketches and begin again from scratch. Goethe finally refused to pose ever again, complaining that artists had "tortured and plagued him" long enough.
An annotated checklist of the exhibition, illustrated with 50 of the portraits, has been published with an introductory essay by Thomas Hare, Princeton's William Sauter LaPorte '28 Professor in Regional Studies and professor of comparative literature. The full-color publication is available for sale in the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections.
"To some great critics of painting, the portrait doesn't only tell us something important about the sitter or subject of the portrait, but actually makes him (it is far more often 'him' than 'her') present to us, erasing the constraints of time and place to integrate into our present experience someone who is gone," Hare wrote. "They might even go so far as to say that in exemplary cases the portrait goes beyond presence itself to reveal a core of character that the sitter may well have preferred to conceal.
"Another reading of the portrait, however, sees it as a conspiracy between sitter and artist aimed at seducing the viewer into believing a strategic fiction. In this reading, the portrait is a public-relations tool intended to give viewers a particular impression of a sitter for reasons known to the sitter and the artist, but likely concealed from us viewers. ... It is our good fortune to find, in this exhibition, evidence upon which to make our own judgments about the relative virtues of portraiture and poetry."
The exhibition runs through July 5 and is on view from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. weekdays and noon to 5 p.m. weekends.
These three images show the range of media represented in the exhibition (from left): a woodcut of Puerto Rican poet Luis Palés Matos; a plaster cast death mask of German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; and a pastel of Irish playwright George Bernard Shaw.

I totally recommend this In-Dash. It is everything I expected and more! I had it installed in my 01' lincoln ls, and let me just say it looks as if this was the original system. Everything is great so far w/ this system, I 've had to play w/for about a full week now. It's pretty responsive, the colors on the screen is definitely bright and HD quality and doesn't have that dull look that I see from some of my friends systems. What I really like about it and one of the strong buying points for me was the built in Garmin gps. It works flawlessly. And so does the voice command. My only complaint is that I wish It allowed me to use my Android phone w/Pandora like some of the new Sony systems. But I suppose I will just buy an itouch or iPad. And another big plus as always w/ most Kenwood systems is that the bypass was pretty simple.

I would have posted htis on the NY forum, but no one ever seems to really go there anymore. Deja vu, I did read your last post there, thanks.
Anyway, does anyone out there hunt the Adirondacks? My brother and I are seriously considering taking a trip up to our deer camp at Beaver River for the NY opener. WAAAY different terrain than where I usually hunt. I know there are birds there, I have the pics of them 10 ft in front of the camp...just never hunted anything else up there but deer.
We are basically trying to choose between an area that we KNOW holds tons of birds (around home) and the "big woods" that we haven't turkey hunted before. Take the chance?

Updated on 29 October 2012
One of the points raised by scientists at the forum was the effect of the recommended ban on Indian farmers
Bangalore: Eminent biotechnologists, agricultural scientists and heads of agribiotech industry came together on Saturday to discuss the recommendations of an technical expert committee appointed by the Supreme Court of India to address certain issues related to agricultural biotechnology.
The experts termed the interim report as biased and said, if implemented, the suggested moratorium on GM trial will harm Indian farmers and the society at large.
The Supreme Court is slated to hear the case on October 29 where the Association of Biotechnology Led Enterprises (ABLE), a not-for-profit national forum representing the Indian biotechnology industry, will make its point before the court.
The Supreme Court constituted a technical expert committee and fixed seven terms of reference to examine and submit a report within three months from May 12, 2012. In case the TEC was unable to submit a final report within three months the court asked it to submit an interim report on "whether there should/should not be any ban, partial or otherwise, upon conducting open field tests of the genetically modified organisms (GMOs)". In the event open field trials are permitted, the court sought to know from the committee "what protocol should be followed and conditions, if any, that may be imposed by it for implementation of open field trials".
The committee comprising Dr P S Chuhan, Prof P C Kesavan, Prof P S Ramakrishnan, Dr Imran Siddiqi and Dr B Sivakumar submitted an interim report with a view that all field trials should be stopped until conditions have been followed during the trial period, outsourcing/subcontracting of field trials be banned, representation on regulatory bodies be expanded, besides other recommendations.
