Discussion in 'Racquets' started by ian5, Apr 22, 2004.
Can anyone compare the rackets and how they play?
I have played with both rackets and have gone back and forth between the two. I weighted up the Diablo MP and really liked it from the baseline, however the extra weight at the net just gave it way too much power and I had trouble getting the racket ready. I thought that serving was great with the Diablo MP...flat serves were hard...spin serves were pretty good as well. I think the Diablo is so much more solid on feel than the NXG. I did not weight the NXG when I played with it. I used to play with the Control DB 800 (MP) and the NXG has the same muted feel. I think it comes from the air handle and not having grommets. The biggest part of the NXG that I noticed is that I had a lot of trouble closing the face of the racket on really hard hits. The ball just flys...Whereas with the Diablo I was able to cover the ball with the face of the racket with no problem. I have tried to put washers inside of the air handle to eliminate the space between. It seems to have helped a little bit. If I was going to recommed one or the other I would have to go with the Diablo. If you have played with one of the other MORE Series rackets and liked it, then perhaps the NXG is for you, but I really don't see the NXG as being a great feel racket...Hope this helps. I would appreciate anyone else's comments on whether you have had the same type of problem covering the ball with the NXG.
I've tested both and bought the NXG MP. I was not hitting the sweetspot of the Diablo consistantly and experienced some balls flying and others falling too short. The NXG was better in all areas, serving, volleying, returns of serves. I preferred the muted feel of the NXG. The Diablo was more flexy and the NXG felt more stiff. Originally has a bit of trouble getting used to the extra .25 inch, but no such problem now. Just goes to show different preferences to difference folks. Best to demo if you have a chance.

ACTORS V.S. ANIMATRONICS: The ultimate face off
Ladies and gentlemen the fight of the haunt age. Which is better. Scareactors or animatronics?
Jim Warfield
"Actors or Animatronics?"
How about a third catagory/item?
The lonesome totally dark room with a live cricket in the corner?
A whole lot of people can't begin to handle being alone in the dark, it's the scariest thing! They might get molested!
"But you are alone!"
"Yes, I know, that just makes it more terrible! I can't trust anyone, not even myself!
"Cricket!? Was it you?"
"No, you're not my type, besides that I couldn't find a milk carton high enough for me to stand on."
Change all that, "A dark room with a live cricket and a tall milk carton."
Actors and robots can't hold a drippy candle to this!
Animatronics are good if they are used correctly and mixed with actors. My favorite are the interactive actor animatronics which are more like interactive props (like the chainsaw table by Distortions)...
Dan Faupel
Bobocyko...you'll have to check out the next issue of Hauntworld magazine...I'm currently working on an article called "Animatronics Vs. Actors"...it's a study with some history, comments from some industry leaders, and opinions from haunt patrons.
It really all depends on the size and style of your attraction venue to determine the proper balance of actors and animations...generally speaking, the smaller the venue, the less need for animations, and vice versa, the larger the venue, the less need for actors.
Jim Warfield
So "Big" haunt's customers don't have to be as well entertained? Just pushed-through? I have always wondered about this?
And enough customers return every season to perpetuate this type of a show?
A smaller , more actor-driven entertainment might not need to spend nearly as much money advertising itself as the "next-best thing since sliced bread" because word of mouth from happy customers do it for them.
I see a stimulating show as "job security".
"You never get a second chance to make a first impression."
(Unless you were an "Impressionist Painter."hahaha!)
I have had some very poor live-actors that a hydralic cylinder stuck up their behinds would have created a much more reliable , entertaining "Prop-Actor", especially with MY finger on the air button!
This would be so much fun . "Wut is this thing strapped to my butt fer?"
"Nevermind, just hide around your usual corner with your hands up, ready to scare someone."
"Duh, OK."
Followed by a real, terrified scream-reaction and bugged-out eyes all coming from my "actor" as the forces of compressed air hurl him a short, quick distance!
I just know the patrons would love this!
The big shows that I've seen that have a perfect mix (like Netherworld and Dungeon of Doom in Grayslake IL) really found a great balance - their actors/characters are so amazing and balanced out perfectly with the animatronics - you don't know what is coming at you or from where - when you think something is animatronic - you find out it's chasing you down a hallway. Being an actor I'll always be an advocate for us, but it's nice to have some well placed quality animatronics to confuse, amuse, and behoove our victims! That level of uncertainty (if something is "alive" or not)... is another way to get the customers feeling uneasy.
Animatronics are good if they are used correctly and mixed with actors.
Dan Faupel
I totally agree Nicole...and not just because I work for a company who a big chunk of our business revolves around animations. For many years, I acted in many local haunts as well, so I know things well from that perspective too.
Jim, you don't have to look further for a good example than the granpappy of all dark attractions, Haunted Mansion. Without total animation they would never be able to cattle herd the zillions of people who have been entertained and still are to this date. Outside of dark amusement park venues, I have never been to a cattle herd style, completley or almost completely animated dark walkthrough that I felt delivered a reliable every time entertainment value. While possible, you just don't see people really trying to do a show like that very often because of the required expense and time involved in set-up, programming, and fine tuning. Interaction with a human being's wit, reflexes and timing are necessary at least here and there for a successful show recipe.
Jim Warfield
Who has ever had anywhere near the amount of money that Disney has always had to do what they do?
Many start to think they might be able to sort of pull it off, but money carries the show.
It might be like Dan and I starting a racing team(Mr. Tuxedo financing it, of course) and our competition would be Ford, Chevy, Chrysler, but hey, me and Dan can take them on!!
I'll wash the car's windsheid while you research and build a new more powerfull racing engine, re-gear the transmission for the next track and wind tunnel test the new spoiler and drive it to the race in the semi while I'm talking to the racetrack cheerleaders and beauty queens, OK Dan?
"We", can do it!!
"Put-put, fizzle, pop!MMMrrr!
Dan Faupel
Yes!!! Let's do it!...completely using parts from the Grin!...sure it may have the front end of a submarine, a bed for a cockpit, a hearse rear end and a nazi babe hood ornament, but that sucker will fly!...I can see it now..like a bad episode of the A-team, shots of Dan slaving away with cutaways of Jim flirting with the hotties...I'll be fine Jim, as long as I come in "sloppy second" place!
With the bed cockpit, maybe it would make a better spoof episode of Pimp My Ride!
I like a haunt with a mix of both...live actors are without a doubt unpredictable and can ad lib...but there are a few animations on the market that would be impossible to duplicate using a live actor....so I say 60% live 40% animations would be a good mix
In all honesty being an actor myself, Animatronics are kinda like a slap in the face, yeah they are good here and there but I much prefer the customer to come face to face with me, than some rip off from "Its a small world after all" though that would be quite funny to put in a haunt... lol little dead zombie children singing its a dead world after all... :twisted:
Ben Fox
I think it would be funnier if you could put in old Disney style animatronics that would "break" into freaky poses. Do you know how many children jump when something falls off an animatronic at a theme park?
I like to see a majority of actors in haunts, with a few really cool animatronics mixed in.

Do you mean like the time Mr. Lincoln sprayed out red hydraulic fluid from a broken hose? EWWWWWW.

Personally, I do not see animatronics as being a slap in the face. I see animatronics simply being another tool that a haunt can use to enhance or bolster themselves. Animatronics make for a nice enhancement to a solid base of actors. If you have too many animatronics then a haunt becomes static and stale. Otherwise, as I am sure it has been stated before you can have animatronics due things and look certain ways that you cannot achieve with an actor.
BTW, I too, am a haunt actor.

Alright fair enough but that was exactly what i was getting at... there are some haunts based soley on animatronics where actors hardly do any scaring... i think thats a bit lame.. is all i was trying to get across
I am of the opinion that haunts should be actor driven, but theres no reason why in a few slower areas, for narrative purposes, or for doing something that would be a pain in the butt for an actor(like hanging from a noose all night), animatronics are ok, and fill a needed space.
I've seen animatroics doing entrance speils and narrative in themed shows, where an actor having done it 300 times a night would tire quickly of quoting it. I've also seen animatroics that have done really good startle scares in slow points in a show.
But I've also seen shows where Animatronics have been used as a status symbol (I have more expensive toys than you do) or a replacement for good acting talent and have heard customers go "Well that was cool.. but 'joe bobs' down the road scared the hell out of me lets go there!" and as it turns out the other haunt has no animatronics at all.
But that doesnt mean I dont have a hell of a good time myself playing with peoples expensive toys.. hehehehe
Actors are definatly the better here.
However, I have found that Animatronics can be scary and useful in many ways. For instance, in my room, I had a lady laying on a gurney with a large hole in her chest. A snake popped out of this thing and "attacked" the people coming through. The air compressed machine made noises when activated my a motion sensor that allowed me to keep tabs on where people are in my house as to better scare and reset.
They are also useful when circumstances arise in which you have to leave your scene(s) for something, or you are not feeling well and have to go somewhat easier, or whatever. I have always found it useful to learn the sounds of your room and vantage points about the scene you can use to help you become a more efficient scaring machine.
Unless you have deepdeep pockets, actors are the backbone of a haunt. People are adaptible and can adapt their scare to better match their mark to make the scare better. An animatronic prop can't pick out the screamer in the bunch and focus on them.
Some animatronics make a good compliment to actors, but actors carry the show.
I think live actors are the key, especially for our fans who love to come on return visits to the park. I work at Howl O Scream at Busch Gardens Tampa Bay Florida, ( an upcoming sixth year for me) and the actors really make the scares!!!!
I like actors best!! I use animatronics as a diversion which then lets the actor sneak up on them. You have the flexibility to do much better tricks on the people. Whenever I get a group I will get an actor to infiltrate the group and see how long it takes for them to realise 'he is not one of us'.
Of course they need their atttention diverted. I also have actors prep people for the next scene such as a twisted nurse asking for patrons blood type and whether they have their organ donar card with them. This adds humour between scenes and make it interactive.
Animatronics are good for a startle,
but actors are good for a scare.
(Generally speaking, of course)
Well, I think they both can be good if used in the correct ways. That one video I saw of the skeleton at the beginning of Raycliff Manor was awesome! That's one of the scenarios when I think it is good to have an animatronic. The only real thing that annoys me about them is the amount of noise they make. But the skeleton at Raycliff Manor was virtually silent (except for the awesome dialogue of course) There was no sound coming from it.
I like Jim warfield. Atmosphere first
First set the mood dark room, unnerving sets ect, A good actor then an animotronic only if it can come out of nowwhere. but don't depend on them
Both is optimum, but if you have to choose one or the other, then I'd go with actors. You can get a lot more variety out of actors than you can out of animatronics. They do what they're designed to do and no more.
Jim Warfield
As we were watching an old movie on TV tonight, both I and my wife observed the same thing, the actor reciting his lines spoke and sounded and had even the same mannorisms as our one actor who has worked here for several years!
"Louse" IS Duece Bigalo!
Before October 2006, I would have been completely in the actor's corner. An animatronic cannot calculate who is the best person to scare in the group and cannot deviate from the time it's been given to activate.
I had sooooo many problems with actors not showing up this past season. It was a nightmare! One night, we had to completely close off our trail, leave the haunt portion open only and reduce the price to half due to actors not showing up. RIDICULOUS! AND for those who did show up, I'd had it up to eyeballs with their complaints about needing water and bathroom trips. Even when we had discussed in several meetings about bringing your own water with you and making that all important trip to the restroom before we opened, they just wouldn't comply. Good grief, we were only open four hours! To add insult to injury, they refused to stay in their designated scenes. I had one actor in particular who refused to stay in the haunt. He kept going out front where others could see him! Needless to say, he's not coming back.
We had one animatronic named Larry. He was great!
I'm not spouting off at the mouth like an uncaring haunt owner because I'm also an actor, too and have been off and on for over 30 years. I know what it's like to have a cubby hole for a boo box and repeatedly do the same scare over and over again until your voice is raw. I know what it's like to be bullied and even slapped by customers. So, what I ask of other actors isn't anything worse than what I've been through. In fact, conditions for my actors are better than any I've ever been involved in before. Which brings me to say this....
After dealing with the actors temperments in 2006, I came to these decisions for 2007:
1. MORE ANIMATRONICS! I have increased our one to five and may add a few more if the budget allows.
2. I'm designing the haunt in a way that one actor will have at least two opportunities to scare. Whether it's two scares in person, one in person plus animatronic activation or two animatronic activations.
This will cut down on my dependability for actors. Last year, I needed 25 actors to pull off the haunt successfully. With the new design and animatronics, I'm hoping to cut that in half. In this way, if an actor does not comply, they will be let go and replaced with someone else.
Jim Warfield
From beginning with the local JC's haunted house to now, one of my biggest frustrations has been trying to create numerous scare opportunitys for my actors so they don't get bored, BUT when I did this many of them thought I was asking too much of them, couldn't understand what I was trying to tell them, had no sense of timing and generally didn't do multiple scares, they did one because they were too confused(scared or lazy?) to comprehend anything more than that?
This is not rocket science! Put yourself in a certain location, do a certain thing the way I tell you. Then after that move to the second location and now do the other thing I showed you how to do, now return to that first location, and while travelling between those locations if you see some customer vandalising the place or wandering lost scare them or escourt them out or call someone else to help you do the appropriate thing, whichever that may be.
It was actually easier to have my helpers learn over 30 minutes of leading and narrating the house tour than for them to do hit & run ambush scaring!?
Of course anything does require some time to get it right and some of those early people left long ago.
I actually have some very talented and creative tour guides here that crack me up!
They might use a line I use then modify it slightly or tell the line making me the butt of a joke, implied or actual.
Most people who have worked here found out right away that this is harder to do and do within acceptable standards and limits than they imagined it would be. I have been at fault sometimes forgetting this because I have been performing here basically non-stop over all these years.
An earlier comment about a real person gets tired making the same spiel all night long...(versus a machine doing it) I say different things all the time. This makes it more interesting for my customers and me.
Last October in one night I began by telling of a true supernatural experience here and as the night wore on and the crowd got drunker it morphed into my psychic ability to guess which person sitting on the couch was going to pass gas next?
It all played well, I had fun too!
I think scare actors are better because we are able to hide in many places and we can react to the situation happening where a machine can't. Say if someone is more scared of us we can play off that fear but if someone is scared of a "prop" it can't do anything else then what is programmed to do
Jim Warfield
Of course if a customer is scared of a prop-clown and you have enough money to own 12 identicle prop-clowns and have them throughout the entire house around every corner.......a live actor would be very hard-pressed to match this, especially being able to keep ahead of the customers physically (like I do) and keep setting up, catching a breath and scaring them over and over.
I have often toyed with the idea of having "Jim" masks made for all of my October helpers, sort of like when numerous people all showed up at Haunted Attraction's Costume Ball all wearing "Leonard" masks, made with the talents of a photo copier.
Very Funny.
:D Looking at all of the posts here it seems to me that pretty much everyone agrees that there needs to be a balance of both for shows to be the most effective. I would also agree with the sentiment of Jim Warfied saying that "money drives the show". I am assuming he means that the more money you have, the more animatronics you can buy. So, I agree with Nicole who said that she is partial to some of the big shows (like Netherworld) that use equal amounts of both. I have been a quest actor for the past five years at Netherworld, and truly this is the "Walt Disney World" of haunted attractions. Ben Armstrong's approach of "the more you throw at the wall, something will stick" has proven to be successful. The customers who come back again year after year expect lots of "eye candy" with spectacle (big animatronics) and talented actors who display a variety of improvisational acting skills to interact with them. Especially the sliders outside who both startle and entertain the customers. In my opinion, if a haunt is new and does not have a lot of money, it is better to take what money you do have and invest it in your makeup crew and your actors by providing them with as much information and training that time and money will allow. You start their training in early september (or even august) by making them attend manditory weekly seminars (preferably both saturdays and sundays). You hire the best acting and makeup coordinators you can afford to put your actors through as many acting workshops (involvement is a must) and makeup classes as you can cram in 8 weeks. Shoot video of them to show them how they can learn what they did right and what they need to work on. Have them take photos of their makeup jobs so they can start to build up a bunch of different character looks and have them build and act around each of them. If you do all of this and more, I guarantee you will improve their potential and the quality of your show by 50% compared to if you didn't. As you have heard many times "people are what makes a company successful", I will end by saying "animatronics can't interact with customers making them resonate over the dialogue that was said to them hours or even days later".

This would be a cool television show...
Actors vs. Animations
All the actor has to do to win is unhook the air! LOL
I think the actors would win!
Warren Vanderdark
Being "old school", getting my start as a haunt actor back when the height of technology was a floor-mounted switch that allowed an actor to blackout a room, I think that animatronics DO have their good points, when it comes to effects or characters that would be extremely difficult/expensive or downright impossible for a human actor to pull-off. (i.e., the leaping corpses and giant creatures sold by companies like Scare Factory.)
However, animatronics, regardless of how good, have a limited range of movement and are incapable (at least for NOW) of reacting spontaneously with haunt patrons. It's that degree of uncertainty that adds to the atmosphere of a haunt, not knowing what the actor in a scene is going to do next...
Animations and Actors shouldn't "battle" each other, they should work together in harmony :D
Jim Warfield
"Work together in harmony?"
And be made to share the SAME restroom I suppose?
Nobody must be in that stall, I can't see any legs as I look under the edge of the door..."Gotcha!" "Yikez! Dammit! You darn no-legged pnuematics can pop up in the darndest places, now pull yourself out of that toilet and dry yourself off before returning to work."
i feel that animatronics are good for scares that are unexpected actors are even better cuz lets face it if was not for actors you would not get the same kind of scares with a animatronic then with an actor so like a number of people have said before if mixed the right way .....you get picture
Before October 2006, I would have been completely in the actor's corner. An animatronic cannot calculate who is the best person to scare in the group and cannot deviate from the time it's been given to activate.
I had sooooo many problems with actors not showing up this past season. It was a nightmare! One night, we had to completely close off our trail, leave the haunt portion open only and reduce the price to half due to actors not showing up. RIDICULOUS! AND for those who did show up, I'd had it up to eyeballs with their complaints about needing water and bathroom trips.

He kept going out front where others could see him! Needless to say, he's not coming back.
We had one animatronic named Larry. He was great!
I definitely know how that goes. I act at a multi-attraction haunt in Michigan called Night Terrors and we have well over a hundred actors in total so it gets REALLY hectic sometimes.
Back to the original topic, I absolutely cannot stand any more than a few animatronics in a haunt.
I drove from Ypsilanti, MI (where I live) to Niles, MI - a 5 hour round trip - to go to Niles Scream Park's opening night. I'd heard really great things about it and was assured it was worth the very long drive.
Boy was I disappointed.
Nearly every "scare," save three lackluster performances from costumeless actors weilding chainsaws outside the exit of the main haunted house, was animatronic. I was bored to tears.
I'd never felt like I wasted an evening on a haunt before, but at the end of the day I just wanted to have my 20 bucks plus gas and 6 hours of my life back...
The bottom line is that animatronics just can't interact with a group the way that a good actor can, and at least for me that IS the reason that haunts are so much fun. It's the interaction and the unknown element. Wondering if that scary looking thing was a piece of the wall or if you're going to turn around and find the bastard in the middle of your group!
You can have all the fancy animations and decorations you want and you might startle the occasional teenage girl, but when's the last time your electric chair gag made a grown man run screaming out the exit?
There's just nothing like a good actor in a haunt. The ability to ad-lib and assess the crowd is something that an animatronic can never, and will never be able to do.
I say by-pass the animations and invest your time and money on setting up your actors to get the job done.
Haunted attractions should have both actors and animatronics.
Typically, actors provide better scares than animatronics, however, if you want the monster scaring your patrons not to resemble the form of a human (eg. giant insect or dragon) you should resort to an animatronic. Animatronics provide great "eye candy" and entertainment, but the realism and unpredictable actions of a live human will scare them more than any animatronic. Haunts should have a mixture of both, and shouldn't replace actors over animatronics or vice versa.
An animatronic holds nothing back when it comes to imaginative construction and gory capabilities. However, an animatronic will not respond to the crowd. An animatronic will not throw creepy retorts to childrens' insults. An animatronic will not warn and evict rowdy groups. An animatronic will not escort crying children out. An animatronic will not recite halloween songs and poetry while waiting for the parent that walked to the exit with their child to return. An animatronic will not learn and whisper group members' names. An animatronic will not personalize scares based on what it heard from the group. An animatronic will not tone down or hike up its scariness to suit the kind of people in its group. An animatronic never sneaks into the lobby for one final scare. An animatronic never dashes to the crosswalk outside for one final scare. At the end of a tour, an animatronic is never thanked.
My name is Scary, and I am NOT an animatronic.
Wow.....that was oddly inspirational...
Jim Warfield
"Animatronics really never scare anybody."
I heard this first at Transworld many years ago from the featured speaker at the semiar.
I disagree.
Mine have scared many people (and not just little girls!)
One time one scared a big girl so much that her reactive move made her punch a man and knock him to the floor, landing flat on his back! "OOPS!"

A profound difference between what I saw today in southern New Jersey and New Orleans is that the water just did not go away in New Orleans. The areas I saw in New Jersey have been destroyed — but the water has receded. For days after Katrina struck, we were traveling in boats (not cars) in certain parts of the city.
That is not to say that the people in southern New Jersey are not suffering — they are just suffering in different conditions. I met families who have no power and their homes are drenched inside. It was cold during the daytime today (40's) so I can only imagine what it is tonight without power and thus heat. They have, of course, lost many of their possessions (some irreplaceable) to water damage. Even beyond the property damage is the loss of life. The numbers keep growing.
These storms are very painful for people — hence my great appreciation for organizations like Samaritans Purse who rush out to help.
If you watched ON THE RECORD at 10pm on Monday when the Hurricane first hit land, some of our guests said it did not seem to be as bad as we had feared. Having reported on Hurricane Katrina, and remembering that the first night reports about Katrina were not bad, I warned that when the sun came up Tuesday morning, we might see horrible things. Regrettably I was right. With Hurricanes that strike after dark, after the wind has struck, it is the storm surge that is twice as cruel and we don't see that until the sun rises the next day.
Incidentally, while I was at one home, a representative of FEMA was there — working hard and working efficiently to help.

Until recently, it was quite uncommon for physicians to have a consulting
relationship with the investment community. But the relationship of physicians
with financial entities has been radically transformed, with almost 1 of 10
US physicians currently engaged in a formal consultancy with the investment
industry.1- 4 Because
of investment firms' interest in ongoing clinical research, the proportion
of academic physicians who have relationships with these financial entities
appears to be considerably higher. These relationships create opportunities
both for useful exchange of information and for potential conflict of interest,
particularly in the area of clinical research. In this article, we discuss
the scope of the convergence between physicians and investment firms, the
issues of conflict of interest, and propose recommendations for institutions
and individuals.

District One Class AAAA
No. 7 Spring-Ford at No. 2 Ridley
District One Class AAA
No. 3 Interboro at No. 2 Academy Park
6 first half turnovers for ridley. but 2nd half it was all ridley. shame the extra point cost the green raiders tonight
6 turnovers, 2 for TDs, 2 when going in, punt return for TD called back, missed xp, failed 2 pt conversion. Are you kidding me?? That is not Ridley football. SLOPPY! Nd #1RB goes own in 1st quarter. All that and lose by 2?? The better team lost tonight. And deservingly so. I've been saying ALL YEAR (go back and read) that Ridley's play calling has been terrible and too conservative with wright at QB. They opened it up and let him throw in the 2nd half and he lit it up!! I'm so angry right now. This ridley team was not great. But they were def in the mix of D1. EVERYTHING SF got was given to them. Pennridge beats them by 17 next weekend. Coatesville wins D1. Parkland beats LaSalle & Coatesville & beats North Allegheny to win the state championship. PARKLAND IS ON FIRE!!
Glad I could be the first to post. How about those Interboro boys!!Huh? I'll concede to one of Matts posts that if Interboro won it would be an upset. Well it was an upset, Interboro, back yard brawled with AP and shown them who was boss. While the score seemed close let's not forget Buc's had 4 turnovers and in my opinion left another 14 points on the field which actually would have made this a pretty handy win. They completely dominated Lanier(although i'm not sure if he even had 100 yards) I think his best run was only a 20 yard tote. And much to my suprise Street was mediocre at best when the bulls on the Buc's front line had him scrambling for his life. The Buc's caused AP so much grief in the final 5:30 of the game after Evertons explosive long TD reception, when a double move actually made defenders look stumped as he used his break away speed to the endzone. All momentum began to change, Buc's defense became like rabid animals creating incomplete passes and putting actual fear of losing deep into the soul of AP. It was evidenced by a crazy snap on a 4th down punt for AP which left the punter scrambling feverishly for the ball only to lose the battle and it was picked up by the Bucs. It took 2 drives before Bucs RB barelled through the AP interior defense like a freightliner. Then Mr dependable Cristaldi hits the go ahead x-tra point. In the last minute with the ball in AP's possession they spent a couple downs running around the field like they were being chased by a demon. Incomplete passes , runs with no gain and ultimately the the flub up in the air pass which was picked by LB steven Phillips to ice the game.
After speaking to a few of the Buc's players they unanimously agreed it was much sweeter beating the new DEL-Val champs and allowing them only 2 weeks to enjoy it and then steal away the free pass to the districts which AP felt they were entitled too. Great game BUC's everyone of you players and for the teams playmakers you all stepped up like we all knew you would. And Lennox thanks for spreading the pass around, Simmons, Fenress, Mathis and Everton, you had to have known at least one of them would break the game open for you.
Lastly in all fairness, 2 weeks ago I was parked on the side street where the opposing teams bus travels down to leave the South Ave complex. I always wait until the traffic dies down before I leave and as the AP buses were the last traffic off the street I couldn't help but hearing then singing, "Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Hey Hey Hey Goodbye! Talk about word's coming back to haunt ya, Aye! Bu'c are going to the districts, baby!
Woops my bad people got there post's in before me.
My condolences to Ridley, I was rooting for you guys in AAAA.
And I must not forget to thank ANDY for his support of Interboro throughout the season helping me to help people understand that Interboro was a much much much better team than they were getting credit for. I believe I will finally get to see my BUCS moved up to #2 after this Friday nights games, in the infamous Super 7, but only one person knows who that will be at this time. HA HA
6 Turnovers don't happen on their own. Give Spring-Ford credit for outplaying and upsetting Ridley. Spring-Ford was the better team.
Na, sorry. AT LEAST 3 of the turnovers were giveaways rather than take aways. Like, literally giving the ball to SF. They might as well have handed them the ball. Ridley out gained SF 570 to 240. But SF plays next Friday night at Pennridge and that's all that matters. A game they'll lose by 17. They've given up 1065 yards in the last 2 weeks to 2 teams that I'd consider to be "above average" offensively.
So the Bucs are the last team standing. As Big_Buc mentioned, I had been saying they were a pretty darn good team back when they were out of the Super 7 and saying they should be in it. I only saw them play once. They did not execute well against EA, but I can see talent when I see it – and I knew they had good coaching.
Congrats to to INT and I'm rooting for them to win districts, but also congrats to AP and Ridley for having great seasons.
AP was kind of a dark horse all season that only seemed to have a few weeks in the limelight recently, and though I did not see them play, great job winning the Del Val regular season and nothing to hang their heads about. They are deserving of finishing the season as one of the top teams in Delco.
I feel for Ridley. Turnovers are a tough way to lose. I feel Ridley was the better team, but that was too much to overcome. The Ridley kids should still be proud of a great season. I know expectations are high for one of the most storied high school football programs in PA, but undefeated regular season, CL champs – and never giving up is something to be proud of.
Andy, as far as Ridley (and the fans) goes, It's just not enough. It's another disappointing season. Yeah, I said it. ANY other Delco team and its fans would be thrilled with 11-1. Not us. Not me. Storied history, yes. But at the end of the day we still have a goose egg in the state championship department. Ridley will never get the true recognition that they deserve until the get one. They'll continue to be that scrappy, hard hitting team that no one wants to play. But they don't command the respect of schools like North Penn and Neshaminy because those teams won one. For me, it's another heartbreaking season. There are ALWAYS expectations. And it's draining to continue to come up JUST short. But it's always a fumble (1990 with state title in hand, punter on goal line after comeback against parkland, Randolph going in to take lead into the half against LaSalle, 4 last night including coia's back breaker in the end zone), or a missed extra point(Henderson in 2010, last night, and the 30 others over the past couple years), or a minute, or a win, or a game, or a yard, or something that keeps this team from greatness. And as a fan it's frustrating. Ridley fans aren't your typical HS football fans. There is a Tremendous sense of pride that no one outside of Ridley could ever understand. Wright coming up a yard short on the 2 point conversion is the prefect summary of what it's like to be a Ridley fan. Good, but just not good enough. Close, but just not close enough. I guess the Green Mystique is good enough to put you RIGHT THERE… But not over the top. Disappointing!!
While I can't relate to what like to root for a program with such a rich history and high expectations, I feel for ya.
However, with Ridley there is always next year as they are always good. while I understand your frustration, also remember to count your blessings. Nobody outside of Ridley gets to root for that kind of success year in and decade out.
Thank you for clarifying the Green Mystique. You're right, I never quite understood that once Interboro started winning all of the close, last minute victories on Thanksgiving. The larger margins of victory? Clearly the better team won.
I have always been impressed with the graciousness of the PA announcer at Ridley during the Thanksgiving games — congratulatory towards any Bucs victory and season. Thought he epitomized what an intense neighborhood rivalry should be about.
Congratulations to Ridley on your 11-1 season.
Buc alum, that game means WAY more to the interboro kids than it does the Ridley kids. Ridley kids normally don't even feel like playing that game because they're disappointed they're not still in the playoffs. Interboro kids are still trying to make up for the 3 decades of getting destroyed. And I'm not saying that as a slight. Interboro has a bunch of tough kids and hey really turned that program around which has made for a good rivalry going. But it's definitely more important for you guys. It's similar to the eagles/cowboys rivalry. Here we hate the cowboys. You go there and start screaming "E-A-G-L-E-S", they could care less!! Beating you guys 41-0 last year meant nothing to me. ZERO. You guys beat a Ridley team that didn't even feel like playing (right, wrong or indifferent) 6-0 in 2010 and you'd think interboro won the state championship. That's the difference bro. And again, it's not a slight. A bunch of my boys that I hang out with every weekend are some of the best players to ever wear the black and gold. WRs that always say how they would have loved to play in the Ridley offense. I definitely respect interboro. I always say that if you were to (hypathetically)combine the 2 schools (still would be less boys than North Penn) they'd win the state championship every year. i'm just telling you how true Ridley fans feel. Kinda like i don't feel like getting your stones broken more than I care about winning. Probably similar to how you feel about playing Academy Park in the regular season.
And by the way, a sincere GOOD LUCK to Interboro from a die hard Green Raider. Dig deep and get it done!!
I respect Ridley too. Just found it ironic that comments like "the game doesn't mean that much to Ridley" started appearing after the Bucs began winning some of those Thanksgiving contests. Looked to me like Ridley players were demonstrably upset after those close call defeats. Kinda what I would expect from kids who cared about the outcome of their performance.
Yes, I have thought about what it would be like if Interboro and Ridley would be one school. Interboro played tough against North Penn two years in a row in the District finals and, of course, Ridley's record against them speaks for itself. A larger, but still manageble, school also gives kids potentially additional educational opportunities. Nevertheless, in terms of athletics, I would rather give more kids the oppotunity to participate than not and, at the same time, contribute to their school's pride and tradition.
Always appreciate your commentary, as you have greater insight into the bigger picture than most. Finally, thank you for the gracious remarks about Interboro from you and others. They were reciprocated during your season.
Alum, you're right. I just read what I posted. Let me rephrase. Of course Ridley wants to win ever time they take the field. So I shouldn't have said that they "don't care". But they would rather still be participating in the tournament. So if they never played interboro again because of playoff success, Ridley and the Ridley faithful would be fine with that. Having to play Interboro now a day is a failure of sorts. It's a reminder that another year has passed without state title. I'm surprised interboro fans don't feel he same beings they've been good too over he past 15 or so years. But it seems that interboro REALLY wants that shot at Ridley every year. This year they'll have to settle for Henderson. Hopefully that clarifys what I was trying to say.
Got it.
I'll speak for myself. I would rather play Henderson in the District finals, than Ridley on Thanksgiving. Gone, obviously, are the days when Interboro kids voted not to play in the playoffs for a chance to beat Ridley instead. They want a shot at greater glory too. Neverthelss, a competitive game on Thanksgiving, with its history, is still an enjoyable experience for me — not one to lament.
1 Playoff Win in 3 Years for Ridley? What the hell is going on with this program?
Spring-Ford won that game last night because they were the better team than Ridley. They played a helluva game.
Also, just wanted to bring up when i was saying Spring-Ford would give Ridley a challenge most people on here were saying a Ridley blowout. Typical Ridley fans…
I'm an EA fan, but I say Ridley wins that game without the turnovers and I say Ridley is the better team.
The better team does not always win, and I'm not taking anything away from SF for this one game. They won the game on field fair and square when it mattered. Still does not mean the best team always wins or that SF is the better team.
Ridley out-gained SF 541-270 in yardage. SF deserves the win, but that does not mean they are the better team. SF got a lot of breaks that were more unforced errors/mental mistakes by Ridley than SF forcing turnovers.
Regardless, congrats to SF for the big win and my hats for to Ridley for their resiliency in coming back after being down 28-0 at half and almost sending it to OT.
At the same time, Ridley has nobody to blame but themselves for the errors they made and I am sure they are kicking themselves over it in regards to a game they could have won without so many mistakes.
Life is not always fair and the breaks do not always go your way, and these are some of the life life lessons learned from team sports. I give Ridley a lot go credit for not folding when a lot of teams would have at halftime and fighting back and dominating the second half.
Then minus Garnet Valley's 3 turnovers that SF scored on all 3 of, 27-22 GV. In your logic that is.
I don't see how any team overcomes the six turnovers Ridley had in the first half against SF – yet they almost did. They doubled SF in yardage gained. In my opinion Ridley is better than SF outside of this one game. Still, SF won the game and deserves the win.
I commented on the turnover situation right after the Ridley/GV game I was at and got taken to task for it by Ridley fans where I stated GV and Ridley appeared to be evenly matched teams and Ridley was fortunate to win – but they deserved to the win because they took advantage of the opportunities handed to them when it mattered.
I try to be objective and call it like I see it. It's only opinion and others can disagree.
1 Playoff Win in 3 Years…Ridley has completely fallen off as a once dominant team. They were completely overrated this year and 2010.
Keep dreaming of the old days, when Ridley used to be a powerhouse. Not anymore.
@ Andy. Haverford WOULD have won if it was not for their 6 turnovers ?
I think the final of that game was 23-15. Yeah, I would expect HHS would have won if they only had, say, one turnover, but I did not see the game so I can't say for sure. Also don't know how many turnovers Ridley had to balance it out.
If a game is close and a team has 6 turnovers and loses, I thinks it's safe to say they would have won if they did not have 6 turnovers.
Realize too that different teams match up differently/better against certain teams, so it is tough to say. You really have to look at the specific game, the match ups, and how the teams performed in the specific game.
If by "typical Ridley fans" you mean expecting excellence and expecting to win every game, then yes. And thank you. I take that as a compliment. I expect to win at everything I do in life. I learned that lesson at Ridley. You want an apology for that?? No shot. EVERYONE wants to beat Ridley for a reason. Because they are not used to losing!
Except in playoffs when it matters Cuck.
To you 8-3 is a good season. As would most teams. 8-3 at Ridley is a disaster. I'm disappointed with 11-1 for crying out loud. Like I said, if you're not from Ridley you'll never understand.
15 playoff wins Delcofan. You can hate all you want bro. If you're a true Delco fan you'd root for Ridley. Year in and year out they're the best we (Delco) got!! I'm not going to argue with you again. I hear the sophomore and the freshman classes are really good, so we have some promising years ahead.
1 Playoff Win in 3 Years…Ridley has completely fallen off as a once dominant team. They were completely overrated this year and 2010.
Keep dreaming of the old days, when Ridley used to be a powerhouse. Not anymore.
8-3 is a good season for who? GV has 3 Central League Titles in the past 5 years, and still is 4-2 against Ridley All-Time…so rethink that one.
They are not used to losing in the regular season? Oh my gosh what an accomplishment! How bout when it matters in the playoffs? 1 playoff win in 3 YEARS….are you kdding me?
And no, they are not the best Delco has year in year out. Past 5 Years:
In 2008 it was Garnet Valley
In 2009 it was Ridley
In 2010 it was Strath Haven
In 2011 it was Garnet Valley
In 2011 it was Ridley
James, if you want to argue, I'll argue with you all day!! GV has played well against Ridley for sure. But talk about choking in the playoffs every year, Jesus!! Pretty sure their 2 playoff wins last year was the best they've done since moving to AAAA. Not a sturdy platform to start this argument on! I'm pretty sure your central league champion list is jacked too. If my memory serves me correctly GV won it in 2009. GV hung on to a win that year at Ridley 21-17 I think. GV was the higher seed going into the playoffs and i think they got ousted in the first round. Oh, yeah, and Ridley went to the Eastern Final. The overrated (which I agree) 2010 team was 10-0 going into the playoffs. I think that was the year they didn't play SH and they were undefeated too. So Ridley at least had a share in 2010. But I'm not surprised that you just want to credit SH beings you're a Ridley hater. I do understand that it's human nature to dislike your toughest competition. You've also probably had some unpleasant experiences losing to Ridley somewhere along the line. Anything else?
And James, you say "GV has 3 Central League championships in the past 5 years" and shortly after you post a list which shows them winning 2. Lololol. Please tell me that this is candid camera or something.
In 2009 Garnet Valley was the Central League Champion, and beat Ridley in the regular season but lost in the 1st round to Penncrest. Meanwhile, Ridley went on to the Eastern PA Championship…thats why i had them as the best team in DELCO 2009.
I wish nothing but the best for Delco teams, it's disappointing that Ridley has seemingly struggled though in the playoffs, losing to teams that they are almost certainly better than.
Well, in all honesty, this team wasn't that great. They were decent with a good D. I posted on here countless times that the play calling was terrible and the QB play wasn't great. Ridley has to be able to throw to go far. They didn't let this kid air it out until it was too late last night. I didn't think this team was a real contender. I figured they would get to next week and lose to Pennridge. But D1 is open this year so you never knew. I DEFINITELY didn't think this team was anywhere near good enough to beat the D11/12 champ. I had the same feeling with his team that I did in 2010. I knew they'd lose. Difference is this team was more of a "team". I didn't have a good feeling going into last night. Mainly because SF seemingly handled GV on the scoreboard. That & what i read on here was all I knew about them. But it was immediately apparent that we could move the ball at will. Then we started handing the game to the with HUGE mistake after HUGE mistake. One bigger then the next. Then they open thing up and DOMINATE. Frustrating bro. In a way I would rather them have lost 42-0. That way I wouldn't be tortured with knowing that we were more than capable of winning the game. You can't expect them to o deep every year. Prior to this year, Neshaminy got ousted early a few years in a row. Pennsbury hasn't been going deep either. And North Penn didn't even make the playoffs this year. They are all perennial D1 powerhouses. In closing, I have no excuses bro. 3 early exits over hat past 3 years is hard to defend.
Matt I think the entire senior class in delco. this year was strong. Contrats to Ridley for a great . Good luck to interboro next week.
A win last night would have been nice though Matt. Even if they lost next week, at least it's respectable showing and not another early exit. We'll see next year. I'm sure they'll compete for the Central League. Not really too familiar with what they have coming up. I just hear that neither the sophomores or freshman have ever lost a game. Who knows. I think wright has potential too. I don't know who will be catching the ball though. Or running it. Or blocking. Also not sure what these other contenders have coming back. I think GV is a senior heavy class too, no?
GV has 4 returning starters on Offense, and 4 on defense. It doesn't look too good. They are losing All-Delco QB Corkery, And 2nd Teamers RB Jordan Bennett, G Matt Donoghue, and G Donte Burgaesa. 1 Starter coming back on O-Line, which has ALWAYS been GV's strength. I think Junior QB Christian Portale (don't know if i got that name right) should take over, not much playing experience though.
How many starters does Ridley have returning?
with that being said, Portale and a ton of these other Juniors have had plenty of experience in Varsity time. Everybody in GV's backfield including Irving is returning except Bennett.
I still think GV and Ridley are the favorites for the central league. Too early too tell who has the edge.
Not many. Wright at QB. I know that real fast kid that dropped the bomb in the 1st quarter against (#81) is a sophomore. I don't think too much else. I'm hoping these sophomores are as good as people are saying and they have a strong junior team. Like 2009. And as much as the 2010 team was overrated, it was HARD to imagine them not destroying everyone!! They had EVERYONE back from the 2009 team except masterson (QB), Casey decker (hugely underrated LB), and a few lineman. Just hoping for the best next year.
Ridley players are still tough kids that give it there all and leave everything they have on the field. To me the playoff slide and whatever other issue are with recent Ridley teams that everyones is talking about (last 5 yrs.) started with the new coaching staff. With the exception of the defensive side (coach Batty) the play calling is always suspect and they dont know how to use the talent they have.
I totally agree buc alum. 100%. And the 2009 team that took a run all learned from Waller. Trust me, The Ridley faithful are aware of this too.
Coming from a GV fan I'm curious to see their o-line next year, they are losing 4 senior linemen including 3 very, very talented interior linemen. Can't judge now however.
Woops, didn't mean to reply to a comment, my mistake.
This is from former buc_alum changed my user name didn't realize there was another. I watched a lot of these kids from the Ridley team play for years for Ridley/Swathmorewood. When people say this wasn't a great Ridley team I disagree. These kids have won championships at every level of football they played. When these seniors were freshman they had the most incredible season I ever saw. I think they are very talented players with mediocre coaching and these kids exceled despite that. Great season Ridley. Now it's my Buc's time to shine. Go Bucs!!
Someone is playing off my user name. Credible comment, to be sure, but don't want anything atributed to me that I did not write. I don't mind facing up to what I say, but not getting associated with someone else's words. I have seen this happen on other boards. Flattered, but suspicious is all I am saying.
Sorry Buc Alum, didnt mean to use your user name. I used buc_alum I am also a Interboro grad from the 80's. I will get a new user name.
Thank you for respecting your elders. I am old enough to be your father. LOL. Proud to be in the same family with you.
I'm completely agree with you buc pride. Coaching is a HUGE issue. And I'm friends with "coach" but it's not "show friends" it's "show business" and when it comes to Ridley football it's all business for my. 1. Hild was a better QB than Wright this year. Although Wright does have a ton of potential. Not sure why that change was made permanently. Hild should've been the QB when he was healthy. 2. They were WAY too conservative with play calling with Wright. They made the decision, let th kid play. 3. They had no idea how to get the ball to their skilled players. I would have given Crowley AT LEAST 10 touches a game. Isolate him on the outside and get him the ball with a WR screen with 1 on 1 coverage. Plus I hated the 2 point play the other night. I like the call, but not with wright running it. Why isn't there a 2 point package in place at this point of the season?? I would have run the wildcat with Crowley, Dougherty or coia (2 of these guys) back there and put the ball in dougherty's hands. He our team leader and our best player. If he gets stuffed then so be it. But give it o the player that is least likely to be denied. Wright is too skinny and not fast, shifty, elusive or strong enough to run that play. He's no masterson. Masterson ran that same play beautifully to win in OT at penncrest in 2009. The offense has become so watered down with the play calling. It's awful. It took until the last half of the last game to open things up. I can only wonder what could have been if they opened up all season. Or earlier in that game. How many points could they have put up? HS teams are never great at stopping the pass. Ridley has always been a throwing team. Now we're 80-90% run?? NO!! Not exceptable. With finally having size up front and all that talent at WR??? Sooooo frustrating. A lot of chatter in the stands about wanting Brian Thompson (freshman coach) to coach. Who knows. I can't see Decker getting fried after an 11-1 season. Nor would I want that at this point. Like I said, he's a friend. But I would like to see people put on notice. Maybe get a new offensive coordinator in there. Thanks for listening and letting me vent. I needed to get that off my chest.
Was talking to some Ridley people and they say the same things you are saying, so sounds like you're not alone. They also said the same thing about they should have gotten Crowley the ball a whole lot more. Look what he did with the limited offensive scheme's they ran. The kid just makes things happen, definitely a team leader and play maker. Hope they have better luck next year.
I agree. GV's O-Line has always been one of the biggest strengths of their team. They are losing their Captain Guard, Dan Herbster, All-Delco Guard Matt Donoghue, and All-Delco Center Donte Burgese. It's going to be interesting. This was the most talented interior Offensive Line in Garnet Valley's history. The upcoming Juniors have big shoes to fill in.
Should be an interesting 2013, as Ridley AND Garnet Valley are losing a ton of talent
I think the GV oline was the best in a long time. But since I see so many coaches get their props, you have to give coach Velairo his. He works very hard and teaches the boys well I am sure he will produce more where they came from.
I remember watching Valerio at Penn. I think he went to Ridley. He was a couple of years behind two really good EA players at Penn back in the mid-to-late '80's – Chris Flynn (RB) and Dolph Tokarczyk (TE). That was back around when I went to EA and Penn so it brings back memories. All three were all-Ivy, and Valerio of course played in the pros. Those were some great Penn teams back then. Appears Valerio turned into a great coach, too.
Here's a nice write-up on Valerio:
Joe is a great coach,and a great person. Always positive. He is a great role modle for all the players on the team, not just lineman. I am sure someday one or more of these players will single him out as there inspiration.

Police: Man in spandex rummages through hot dogs outside bar
Brent Pelkey faces alcohol intoxication, disorderly conduct charges
A Louisville man faces charges after an alleged encounter with police outside a bar in the 8000 block of Dixie Highway.
A Louisville Metro police officer said he saw a man wearing a white coat and green Spandex suit with four leaf clovers on it shove a large orange cone under a marked police cruiser.
Before the officer could address Brent Pelkey, he ran over and pulled the cone out., according to the arrest report.
Police said Pelkey, 23, ran over to a sidewalk vendor and started rummaging through the vendor's hot dogs.
Pelkey said he intended to pay for the hot dogs. The officer said he could smell a strong odor of alcohol on Pelkey's breath.
The officer said he felt Pelkey was unable to make competent, well-informed decisions based on the outfit he was wearing in 30 degree weather.
Pelkey is charged with second-degree disorderly conduct and alcohol intoxication in a public place.

Dracula Chapter 21 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 21
Dr. Seward's Diary, October 3
- When Dr. Seward gets to Renfield's room, he finds the patient lying in a puddle of blood. Renfield looks like his face got smashed up and his back is broken.
- Dr. Seward sends for Van Helsing, who comes at once, bringing his surgical case.
- Renfield's skull is fractured, so they want to "trephine" (i.e., to drill a hole in the skull) to relieve the pressure. (Seriously, this was a state-of-the-art, high-tech medical practice at the time.)
- When Renfield regains consciousness, he tells them that Dracula did it.
- He says that Dracula had come to the window in the form of a mist two days before, and had asked to be let in.
- Dracula then summoned rats and flies for Renfield and made the dogs howl in the distance.
- Renfield invited him in.
- Then the next day, Dracula came back and let himself in without being invited (apparently it only takes one invitation).
- Renfield was mad about it. When he saw Mina that day, she looked bloodless to him.
- Then, today, when Dracula tried to come in again, Renfield tried to stop him.
- But Dracula smashed him onto the ground, which is how he got his injuries.
- Van Helsing and Dr. Seward now know what Dracula is after: Mina.
- They go get their anti-vampire weapons and head to Mina and Jonathan's room.
- They break down the door.
- They find Jonathan unconscious on the bed, and Mina sitting up on the edge of the bed.
- Dracula is standing next to her, holding her wrists in one hand and with the other, forcing her to drink his blood from a cut in his chest.
- Van Helsing and the others move forward, holding the sacred communion wafers and their crucifixes.
- Dracula disappears as a mist, and Mina screams.
- They wake Jonathan up from his vampire-induced trance and tell him what's going on.
- Mina tells them everything: how she's had weird dreams lately and has felt weak.
- Oddly enough, when Dracula was actually touching her, she didn't want to stop him from drinking her blood—must be something about his powers.
- And after making her drink his blood, Dracula told her that she was in his power, and that even from far away he'd have the power to summon her and make her come to him.
- Everyone, but especially Mina, is horrified.

Stars Announce Launch of Youth Travel League
New Dallas Stars Travel Hockey League to begin play in the fall
Frisco, Texas – The Dallas Stars today announced the launch of a new youth travel hockey league dedicated to the continued development of amateur hockey players across Texas. The Dallas Stars Travel Hockey League (DSTHL) will begin play in the fall of 2012.
With an eye toward streamlining Tier-level hockey, enhancing the overall competitiveness of the league and striving to lower costs for entry-level players, the new League continues the evolution of the "pyramid" that was begun with Texas Amateur Hockey Association 's restrictions on Tier I play.
"We have embraced youth hockey and are deeply committed to growing the game at every age and skill level, but we want to balance participation with the development of the top players from the region," said Jim Lites, President and CEO of the Dallas Stars. "We would like nothing more than to see more of our young NHL prospects to be homegrown in our youth league."
The new League will feature four "Charter Member Organizations" competing at the AA level. Three organizations will be Dallas-based (DJHA, Alliance and the Dallas Junior Stars), and one organization is from Houston (Wild). Additional AA level members are from Austin (Texas Junior Stars) and Oklahoma City (OKC). Each organization will be allowed one team at the AA level in each age division.
The League will accept one additional AA organization at the Midget Major and Midget Minor levels, reflecting the number of potential players currently in the Dallas market at the midget age groups. The Allen Americans have been accepted to fill the fourth Midget AA slot (minor and major). Other "Affiliate Member Organizations" will compete at the A and B levels, as determined by leveling play and evaluations.
The following organizations have already accepted membership and will be participating in the DSTHL:
• Allen Americans
• Alliance Youth Hockey Association (AYHA)
• Dallas Junior Hockey Association (DJHA)
• Dallas Junior Stars
• Dallas Oilers
• Dallas Stars Elite
• Houston Wild
• Lone Star Wolves
• Oklahoma City
• Texas Aces
• Texas Junior Stars (Austin)
The DSTHL teams will follow established protocols for game scheduling, and game play will mirror USA Hockey's official playing rules. Format for playoffs will be established by the Executive Committee.
For additional information, please visit the Dallas Stars Travel Hockey League's website (www.dsthl.com).

Antisemitism is, as Conor Cruise O'Brien termed it, a very light sleeper. The foreign ministers of France, Germany and Italy issued a joint statement this week condemning the rhetorical and actual violence of demonstrations in Europe against Israel's military strikes on Gaza. The right of assembly and protest is integral to a free society but some of the demonstrations have transmogrified into carnivals of hate-speech.
In violent clashes on Sunday in the Paris suburb of Sarcelles, rioters attempted to set fire to a synagogue. In other European cities, including Berlin and Antwerp, demonstrators have chanted death threats against Jews. In

The day kicked off with more sunshine and UKTI sponsored roundtables attended by Google, Twitter, Microsoft, Pepsi and Discovery – we each had 45 minutes with top 2 choices – I met with Pepsi and Twitter.
– Josh Karpf at Pepsi told us how they are actively investing in tech / development as a means of keeping up with what was going on and give back to the community. They really seemed to be following a test and learn philosophy and he claimed it was working well for the brand with new work coming out soon.
– April Underwood at Twitter explained how Twitter was going to be opening up to developers and developing partnerships with brands, publishers and content providers as well as users – loads happening – "watch this space" was her leaving comment.
The afternoon truly demonstrated the awesomeness SXSW for me.
It started with Ray Kurzweil and Lev Grossman who spoke about "Expanding our Intelligence Without Limit"#SXIQEpand which covered Watson, Siri, Google driverless cars, and other AI examples.
Then came Biz Stone – co founder and Creative Director of Twitter – talked about "Content as a means for social change"#SXContentAs – he essentially told us the story of Twitter in his words and some interesting perspectives on how to develop a great new company.
Next up was Al Gore interviewing Sean Parker (founder of Napster, Plaxo and Facebook's founding President) the focus was on Sean's new venture Causes and using Social for good.
As if this wasn't enough as a push for their new synching of AMEX cards with 4Square a one off concert was held in Austin featuring Jay Z and despite only having a UK card (which is currently exempt) as an prodigious UK tweeter and supposed influencer they gave me 2 tickets to the concert. The subtle branding and no mentions of AMEX and a 90 minute set was a great testimony to the brand's commitment to rewarding their customers – the concert was as expected amazing.
The evening ended as the segue way to the music part of the festival at The British Embassy Bar where we watched the UKTI host some hugely talented bands from Northern Ireland.

The dream of every web company is to be featured on TechCrunch, the industry-leading blog that covers start-ups, venture capital and technology. Overnight, TechCrunch did a great story, albeit controversial, about Voices.com and Google Audio Ads.
Google's recent foray into radio advertising is the latest effort in their quest for world domination of new and old media.
TechCrunch explained it this way:
Through partnerships with hundreds of radio stations, Google Audio Ads will offer customers the ability to bid on radio spots, and target ads by geography, station type, listener demographics and time of day.
On behalf of the team at Voices.com, we believe that Google Audio Ads is great news.
Google, and hundreds of bloggers, will spread the word about radio commercials and how they are produced.
The digital economy will kick into gear presenting new radio advertisers with helpful tutorials, how-to's, white papers, and eBooks explaining how to not only purchase ad slots for terrestrial radio but also how to find the perfect voice online.
Voices.com is already positioned as the number one location to find, audition and hire voice talents online, it's just a matter of time until this new platform (Google Audio Ads) cracks open from its beta shell.
All in all, this new Google offering has created an incredible opportunity for us to continue to serve you, the customers who have created a vibrant community of professionals.
As always, your feedback is welcome.

This whole Google Audio Ad thing could really wind up to be more than just a shot in the arm to talent, talent seekers and those with audio production and commercial copy writing skills.
I received a call from Google late last week regarding this new avenue of connecting Ad placers with those in position to help get their Ad off the ground and into the ears of waiting listeners. I am very excited about the strong potential of this connective "bridge"!!
Voices.com is, once again, on the ball and at the front of this train...KUDOS!

I'll just echo Brian's comment: Kudos to Voices.com. It's great to see you guys continue to excel.
Be well,
This looks like a great opportunity for all of us!
Congratulations to Voices.com for being recognized for all the work you do!

Brilliant... Outstanding!
Yet another opportunity for our voice community. Thank you Voices.com visionaries for everything you do.
I am excited for all of us and am very glad to be here!
Let's keep raising the bar.
Bobbin Beam, Voice ActressPosted by:
I was initially excited about the Google radio idea until I gave it more thought. I think it may be a wonderful opportunity for those who choose to work for lower than average rates, voice talent who are just starting out and for those whose primary job is not voice work. Since jobs will be bid on, it seems logical that voice over fees will continue to skew lower, making it more affordable for the advertisers and less desirable for full-time workng voice talent. Don't get me wrong, I think it is a wonderful opportunity for some but, overall, another step down the voice over job economic ladder for those of us who work every day as voice over talent. Stay strong and keep your rates at professional levels fellow talkers! :-)
Also thanks to David C. for helping me in the internet world. He's generous, fair and sharp as a tack and all around good guy. They don't make em better.

Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion
Category: Places
Photo and caption by Cheuk Lap Au Yeung
Built in 1950s, the Church of Our Lady Mary of Zion is one of the most fascinating church I have ever seen. The skyline that molded by the cross and the dome seems to be a natural design by the god. I never feel tired to gaze this building because of its perfect mixture of classical and modern style.
