![]() There were some great post over this last year. I had some time on my hands in the last week, so I spent some time going back over all the posts for 2013 to fulfill my need for nostalgia! I know that most folks down that way were looking to this year as the one where they would get #7 but you have to live with the fact that Old Forge was better this time around…Buckle it up and go attack AA the way you have A. SCA has 6 titles and 13 trips to Hershey…don’t cheapen them with sour grapes crying.ĭ2 has gotten the better of the matchup 3 of the last 4 years…these things go in cycles. The cheap shot that put 44 out of the game in the 1st half was clear and the raking of the eyes of 42 to the point that there was blood running down his face was not exactly sportsmanlike….right up to the last play when 4 offered a hand up to your RB and had his hand shoved away. ![]() The fact that SCA could not score a point for 3 quarters is the obvious reason they lost.Īlso, your angels did not play too clean sir. It got called in the state champ game as well. Was the chop block call big? Yes it was…but that is a rule that the officials had stressed this year. So both teams got a gift on the fumble issue. SCA *also* had what SHOULD have been a fumble whistled dead early. I watched that game IN person AND on tape…both pass interference calls against OF that setup the SCA TDs were bogus. Is there any truth in the accusation from the SCA fans that Old Forge was just plain lucky?ĭecember 28th, 2013 at 3:23 have some mightly rose colored glasses my friend. but old forge was gifted this one and also i don’t know how many times i read about how proud old forge was because they kept the score with SC close in 2011. as far as crying,hear this dunmore,and riverside kicked our butts no excuses. What are your top HS Football memories of 2013?Ĭoncerning d2follower you are right there was another chop block call in the final,and old forge benefitted from that one also. A couple 4th down conversions,9? first downs, and ONE State Title! The Drive! An entire quarter, many 3rd down conversions, two of them long. And I saw 13 different solid teams with good final records play this season. I also saw Pennsbury give Neshaminy their only regular-season defeat. Happy New Year!!!!ĭecember 31st, 2013 at 8:17 – 2013 MemoriesĪlthough I have seen two state champions play in a single year five prior times, this is the first time I ever saw two state champions play each other when I took in St Joes Prep vs Archbishop Wood game at Tennent regular season. If it didn’t work I’m sure words other than gutsy would be used, but it did, and it was. However, that was a great football game, with an even greater ending. I was never a single A follower, and probably still won’t be. I think I’ll remember North Catholic going for 2, in overtime. ![]() Honestly went pretty much as I expected as far as D 12 went. Good topic Dave! I’m sure you guys expect me to talk about a D12 moment as a lasting memory for the year. Didn’t think they lose to Neshaminy at all, let alone that bad. They made it all the way to the D1 final. I figured them at 5 and 5 this year and missing the playoffs. ![]() Not many people gave Prep much of a chance against PCC, but they won rather handily. Who expected Imhotep to lose, and especially that bad? Wood once again proving 3A championships can be won between/off tackle and NO semblance of a passing game.Īctually, some of the most memorable moments was the last games of the year. Desire, disciplined assignment football erases the horror of the ’10 WC final. South Fayette ignoring the press clippings and chatter. Much to my misery, Prep getting the 5 year LaSalle noose off their neck and going the distance in their 1st State go-round…. Happy New Year Dave, Jive and all of you. Gotta be “The Drive”! I don’t think I have ever seen a drive like that at any level. Time to put 2013 football season to bed, and look forward to 2014 season. We just might re-hash this season until the beginning of next season.Īs of this post, we still have the Eagles to follow. Who’s lookin to be the teams to beat in D2 next year any thoughts? Never know who going to be sleeper of how kids will develop over the winter January 9th, 2014 at 9:00 sure about the W.V.C but in the LackawannaĪ should be Old Forge again but due to lack of competition at that levelĪA Been weak for the last couple of years going to be instersting with Dunmore and Riverside moving up.ĪAA Abington has a good core coming back Valley View has a ton of kids returning but no coaching North Pocono has a lot of speed coming back Δ 2,248 Responses to “2013 Football Season” ![]()

No lie, every weekend of mine consists of my lady and I blasting 'Insanity Check' while we clean up the house and I rap to my man Jaxx's 'Gone' (except for the part when he spits the Kendrick Lamar double time flow and I can never keep up). I'll never forget Kriss's sudden burst of joy when he screamed, 'It's a WRAP!' as we collectively realized that Barry really just did become our President.

But the last few Fast movies have clearly been a drop off from the height of this series that actually put out some good films. Fast X is a convoluted mess that doesn't make sense, has terrible action scenes and it some places forgets what story it's trying to tell because of terrible editing and scene transitions.Īgain, people will say it doesn't matter and the films have always been ridiculous. Justin Lin, who should be credited for saving these series, got chased off of Fast X a week into production and it shows. After Paul Walker died, the lead actor and character centered around Vin Diesel and he clearly has his own opinions on how the series should go. It's very clear the series took a nose dive after 7, which probably should have been the natural end of the series.

It will fill in the low notes and give a richer sound to your stereo system. If you still want a little more depth to the music, try installing a subwoofer. The amp will boost sound without distortion and add a little more clarity to your music. This is where you want to find an amplifier. Once you have replaced them, you will need something to power them. You need to upgrade them to get enhanced sound. Standard car speakers are made out of thin materials. If you are looking to build an improved system for your car, you need a few basic elements. They include the following models in their amp product line: Soundstream has a wide selection of sound equipment to customize your car audio system. ![]() What amplifiers are available from Soundstream? ![]() If you have more than five components, you may need to find an amp that can accommodate more channels. The speaker units will occupy the rest of the channels. The subwoofers and tweeters are connected to the mono channel. Most amps have between one and six channels. If you see an amp with five channels, that means it can support up to five different components of your stereo system. Make sure you have enough wattage to power up your system. The strength of the amp is measured in wattage. You will need an amp to boost a weak sound signal. These units do not have a high clarity of sound. Your car already has an amplifier built into the head unit. A weak amplifier will give off a distorted sound when played at higher volumes. If you are not getting enough power from the amp in your car, it may be time to replace it. You can always tell an authentic Soundstream product by the tarantula logo. Soundstream has engineers that are continuously working to improve their products for the consumer marketplace. In those years, they have won a variety of awards for performance and quality in car audio systems. How long has Soundstream been in business?

While network mode, you can literally make ANY mid work with any tweet and have good results no matter what as long as you have a good tune.All cars come with a standard audio system. You cant even adjust the mid or tweeter volume levels to have a proper blend either. You are literally stuck with a sh*tty crossover point that wont work well with your car acoustics and you cant do sh*t about it. You are literally playing a fking lottery when it comes to passive component sets because it MAY OR MAY NOT work with your car acoustics. This is why i keep telling people to stay the fk away from components and go raw drivers. Time alignment mainly affects sound stage, it has very little effect on how clear and vibrant the mids and highs sound. You only have standard crossovers and literally those do jack sh*t for your sound.

Then again, Apple’s flagship doesn’t fold – at least without breaking it – and that’s what we’re here for in the first place, right? An unlimited data contract costs an eye-watering £90 a month.įor the amount of money you might spend on the Surface Duo 2, you could buy an iPhone 13 Pro Max instead and still have £300 left over. EE is the only UK mobile network offering the Surface Duo 2 on contract, with prices starting at £73 a month with an upfront cost of £153 and this only comes with 4GB of monthly data. That particular figure is for the 128GB version, with 256GB costing £1,429 and the 512GB model going for £1,589. ![]() Admittedly, Microsoft’s foldable is £50 cheaper than the original was at launch, but the Surface Duo 2’s comparatively microscopic saving means you’ve still got to pay at least £1,349 if you go SIM-free. Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: Price and competitionĪlas, the Surface Duo 2 is still excruciatingly expensive. The previous model had to make do with a solitary (and frankly rather shoddy) 11MP camera. ![]() Perhaps the most obvious upgrade is the new triple-camera block on the rear, which now incorporates a 12MP main camera, 12MP 2x telephoto sensor and a 16MP ultrawide unit. Internally, the Surface Duo 2 is powered by a much faster Snapdragon 888 chipset, with an extra 2GB of RAM (8GB) and an option to increase the internal storage up to 512GB. The concept remains the same: you open it up like a book, and there’s not much you can do with it while closed, although this year the Duo 2 has a pair of 8.3in screens on the inside (up from 8.1in), which now have a boosted refresh rate of 90Hz and support for HDR playback. Microsoft’s much-maligned foldable flagship is back and plenty of stuff has changed this year, mostly for the better. Microsoft Surface Duo 2 review: What you need to know And while it’s still far from perfect, the Surface Duo 2 is finally a worthwhile addition to the folding phone arena – all Microsoft needs to do now is reconsider how much it’s charging for one. With some phone makers deciding to incorporate flexible displays into their designs, others, like Microsoft, are following a far simpler route, instead merely placing two screens side by side, with a hinge separating the two.Įach design has its own set of benefits and drawbacks, and while there’s no doubt that Samsung’s bendy screens gain most of the attention whenever a new model launches, sometimes the simple path is the one best travelled.Īnd so, the dual-screened Surface Duo returns, although this time Microsoft has made a bit of an effort to address the (many) criticisms of the original. While a bit of a novel concept, manufacturers are still in the planning stages of figuring out how to make (and sell) folding smartphones. ![]() ![]() There's also some categorization of games for smarter searches.

There's also a final chapter on finishing details (light and shadows).Īt the end of each chapter, Huston reviews a master work by a classic artist, such as Michelangelo and Raphael, and explains how it relates to the lessons.Ī lot of ground gets covered, but with its airy layout this book never feels cluttered or academic. The second half offers an overview of basic forms, plus chapters on drawing the head, torso, arms, hands, legs and feet. ![]() The first half of the book addresses the basic elements of drawing, with chapters on structure, gesture, perspective and light. However, it's still an authoritative and useful book with a range of expert tips, pointers and advice that will help improve your figure drawing, all written by a well-known and popular artist and instructor, Steve Huston. Figure Drawing for Artists: Making Every Mark Countĭespite some grand claims on the back-cover blurb, Figure Drawing for Artists doesn't quite offer the revolutionary approach to figure drawing that it suggests. Common mistakes and problem areas are noted too, as well as the occasional elaboration for tackling certain trickier areas of the body, such as the head, hand, arm and leg. Not only does each chapter spell out how to draw a specific pose, but also also includes a number of invaluable artistic tips.

Jones Figures from Life: Drawing with Style at Amazon for £15.98 (opens in new tab)Īrtist and teacher Patrick J Jones began honing his creative skills at just 17, and now, over 30 years later, he shares his experience and knowledge in this tutorial-style book: Figures From Life: Drawing With Style. Overall this is an excellent, highly affordable resource that will go a long way to helping you draw realistic-looking hands and feet. You have to get past quite a lengthy, somewhat indulgent introduction and personal history initially, but both provide insight into the author’s extensive experience and obvious passion for life drawing, which can only be a good thing. The written theory is just as comprehensive, with the first 30 pages of the book featuring easy-to-read and helpfully illustrated advice on the best materials to use, backdrops and lighting, and the bone and muscle structure of the hand and foot. The practical elements come in the form of step-by-step guides, which are arguably some of the most informative anatomy breakdowns we’ve ever seen, due largely in part to the detailed illustrations clearly depicting each step. Thoughtful and clever in its approach, this guide is formatted in a way that lends itself well to novices and more advanced illustrators alike. Drawing Hands & Feet (opens in new tab) by Eddie Armer, whose career in figure drawing spans more than four decades, combines a series of workshops and written theory to help artists master the art of illustrating both.

Actually I saw the imprint in the sole start to form rather quickly. The leather around the boot, back of heel, and leather/cork insole had all begun to loosen up and mold to my foot. I got blisters from the stiff parts of the boot, around the ankle and pinky toe, but it definitely helped speed up the break-in period. One week into the purchase, I took them on a day-trip to Philadelphia (in 20 degree weather!) and walked around all day in them. For the boot to break in correctly, it needs your foot to be place in the correct spots on the footboard so make sure it is snug with no slippage in the heel. I would recommend anyone looking for size advice to absolutely go a glad size down from their dress shoe size. I think the shape of the insole and placement of the arch make this boot very supportive. The leather footbed was stiff too but I am a firm believer that soft mushy insoles are actually not the indicator for a comfortable shoe. The leather, which is notoriously stiff, only gave me trouble around the ankle collar. The fit was slightly snug but I had no problems getting my feet in. When I checked the sizes, I had received a left boot size 9 and a right boot size 10! But what happened next definitely made it worth it…īrooks Brothers felt so badly about the mix up, they sent me a new pair of the boots.for just $100! So I got the Iron Rangers at an unbeatable price and was super excited to break them in (I still recommend getting Red Wings from Brooks Brothers for the best price, and pretty great customer service as well). I had ordered a full size down, a size 9 when I’m typically a sneaker 10. To no one’s surprise, I found and became infatuated with the Red Wing Iron Ranger 8111, in Amber Harness leather.īut something felt weird about the fit. I also checked out some of Wolverine’s heritage, made in USA styles but those were upwards of $400. Naturally I found myself on Thursday Boot’s website, eyeing their $200 selection. I wanted a tough boot that was of course, stylish, and would reflect my rugged and refined look. The boots are fine, but I can see the lack of quality in them, in the insoles and leather grade. I scooped them up with glee.īut at the start of the Fall, after looking into the heritage brands a bit more, I discovered that my Wolverine’s were not of the true the true mainline product, but a made in China imposter model made for DSW. ![]() Sure enough, I was in DSW and saw a pair on clearance for $100 claiming they were originally around $300. Last summer I had seen Jose Zuniga’s (don’t roll your eyes at me!) shoe collection video where he featured a really nice pair of Wolverine 1000 Mile Boot that I liked but hadn't properly researched yet. ![]() ![]() A huge style pet-peeve of mine is seeing people wearing low-top sneakers like Adidas Stan Smiths in below 30 degree weather. ![]() This past year I found myself looking for boots because I got sick and tired of wearing low top shoes during the winter. The Made inUSA/heritage mindset is a really great way to buy products and at the same time feel good about putting my money into a USA company whose goal it is for me to get the most out of a product. In short, these boots have been a revelation because they allow me to look at products the way people used to I enjoy wearing these and actually get a sense of pride as I see how much wear I’ve gotten out of them. ![]() |
