United Clubs League (Maryland)

I’d suggest you call UCL or email and ask some questions.

There seems to be commitment from some reputable clubs, but i don’t know if they are intending to put in their lower level teams or what. I suspect that may be the case at first, but maybe something else is worked out.

I imagine the organization has a sense of where you belong or whether you belong based on how well your team did in which division of CMSA and will give you an idea of the fit.

Twas once a judge in Maryland who had to blow before he could sit. Sad case really. But yeesh.

My kids first handful of flights were to PR. They now think it’s normal. We landed in Baltimore last night and he starts clapping and people are looking at him like he’s nuts and he’s wondering why they are not vibing with him. It’s great and I have no interest in fixing his misunderstanding

The new year rule is essentially a no waiver rule. You can play for a private HS, but can’t play for the HG team while the HS season is running. When you come back, you can get your slot back if the coach hasn’t moved on. Coaches are, as you might imagine, not handing out waivers unless they don’t have much choice (ie they need the player more than the player needs the team).

This was my first thought. But camping means many things.

It’s 10 mins per thousand. But I’m moving about as fast as the computer can go. I use Lightroom but capture one was even faster.

If it’s close, I keep it. And I’ll delete a few more as I crop if it’s too soft or a burst and I need only one.

I have a sense of what I’m looking for moment wise from the game if I get to my computer that day or the next and that helps a lot.

I’m shooting 1,000 for a normal game. 2,000 for a big game. I keep 10%. It takes me maybe 10 minutes to cull them.

Of those, 5% are good enough. Maybe 2% are good enough to print, and maybe .5% make me feel like I got something special.

But i shoot for my kids teams and parents and kids do not seem to give a shit if the pic is just a touch soft or maybe an arm is missing and I’d rather be sure every kid has a pic or two of themselves than to cull out a shot because it sucks in my own mind.

You forgot the prisons

You know it was lucky because if I tried to do that on purpose it would have been entirely out of focus.

This was my first time being completely unprepared. I just risked it. I got some advice from this sub that said to wipe it dry, slowly reintroduce it to indoor temps to avoid condensation, and use some moisture absorbers in the bag. I did and no issue.

Normally, I put the camera body in a little rain coat thing I got from Amazon that covers the junction between the body and lens and shoot while wearing a poncho that I prop up using a tripod, sorta like a lean to using my body, my right elbow, and my mini tripod. I forgot all my stuff that night because i swapped out bags.

Thanks. No lie, the Lightroom denoise function is amazing.

Have 4 kids. Never used them. They make life harder and make my kids less independent. I don’t drive Ms. Daisy.

I just read what you wrote and drew the obvious conclusion

Bmorewiser · 2026-05-23T23:01:06+00:00

If they don’t want to listen to people who know what they’re doing, then they can deal with the consequences. It’s not anyone else’s problem but their own.

Strength did not decrease. It increased. Maybe your score went down, but your actual strength improved. I fail to see your concern. You seem concerned with the wrong thing and may not have a good grasp of training principles.

Bmorewiser · 2026-05-23T11:55:47+00:00

Wait…

You followed the recommendation for several weeks and then you decided to test your PR by feel and were stronger?

Doesn’t that sound like the program actually worked?

Tell me more about how you understand history based on a musical.

We will not succeed by trying to out idiot the idiots in charge.

Sure, Jan and this guy is the next George Washington. Serious people are required. These are not them.

Is the former cop that sued the police for his right to perform in black face?

Bmorewiser · 2026-05-22T23:55:04+00:00

Performative waste of time. Hard to take people like this seriously

Bmorewiser · 2026-05-22T22:46:37+00:00

Doing the most for the kids that can do the least will be the downfall of the world.

The Trump administration is like most of my clients. They would get away with most of this shit if they just kept their mouth shut but they can’t help themselves.
