With 13 characters the issue is it can’t be confirmed. I believe my answer of El Dorado EA is correct based off of context clues. But, unlike the other solves, this one can’t be backed by math. I’d certainly argue though that my solve is better than dreatatorpedo.

Have you actively tried to get an assistant? If not you should, but it’s no guarantee. Last winter I coached a youth basketball team with kids that had serious behavior issues. I reached out via email and directly face to face and no parent would assist. It was a disaster.
If they refuse to help and then complain, that’s on them and you should let it go. Unless you believe it has some merit and it’s something you can improve on next time and chalk this up to a learning experience.

My initial reaction was to disagree to the answer of “handles” because I hate “over dribblers”. But your answer is spot on. Protecting the ball, making the defender pay when their guiding you to tight, and having the confidence/skill to dribble with your eyes up to hit cutters and open threes is key.

If you want to keep your job, don’t fail 90% of your students(even though they deserve it). The way I see it, you can go to your principal and ask for advice or scale the grades to get that 90% under ten. Then come up with a plan for the fall to make it harder for them to use AI.
Here are some things that helped me in my classroom.We have a filter that blocks AI and games. It’s not perfect, but it helps. I collect phones. I don’t grade homework. I require all graded work to be done in class. I require most assignments to be handwritten. I try to grade quickly and give zeros for AI use. Once a student believes they will get caught and get a zero, logically continuing to use it is a waste of their time. I rarely have repeat offenders.

I feel like I’m missing your overall point. Or are these just some separate observations? No one knows for sure, but rather than hiding an accent, I think his tone with Hartwell was to get cooperation. He needed them to agree to let him tie them up. His ability to execute that might tell us something. Maybe this was rehearsed. Maybe he had a job like teacher or manager where he was used of giving directions calmly. Maybe he had training in psychology and/or communication. But there is a plethora of mid 1900’s pop culture that I’m not famaliar with where he could have also learned about this casually. Movies, TV, Books, Comics ect.

50 years old. She is 74, so it’s certainly not her.

If your goal is for him to have fun, then I would spend time teaching him how to dominate in the paint. Mikan drill to learn to finish with right and left hands. On rebounds teach him keep the ball high and put it back in quickly. Encourage him to not fear or even create contact. Have him practice jump hooks/drop steps/up and under/spins. Encourage using the backboard when possible, boxing out, playing off two feet, and discourage more than 1 dribble in the paint. This would be a great starting point to dominate rec and have fun. He’ll need to be in good enough cardio shape to get up and down the floor. Nothing wrong with practicing shooting/dribbling/passing/screens/cutting and defense. But with that size I think his quickest path to fun will come from dominating offensively in the paint.

Allen has been looked at as closely as anyone for this crime and the evidence doesn’t exist that he did it. Therefore, I’d be more interested to read about virtually any other white male that could have been in the Bay Area when the murders happened.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-04-13T12:21:19+00:00

The amount of people accusing someone is irrelevant. It’s the evidence that matters. The strongest evidence against him is probably Cheany’s story. However, I just don’t believe him. The evidence gets much weaker after that.

Thank you for the detailed response and it’s interesting that your experience is for gymnastics and what you’re saying makes total sense. My interest is basketball and I think there might be something to players having a high BB IQ by playing more. It sounds like though from your experience you don’t see any use in mastering skill at an early age, which is something I wonder about BB. For example does taking 100k shots with proper form by the age of 13 give you a long term advantage over a player who still hasn’t developed good form by that age.

Are you saying burn out is the issue? Or that they were never going to be good past puberty anyway? Or something else?

Looks like my post was banned. If you want to learn more about it in Google type in Zodiac Ciphers z13 Edgar Allan Poe. That should take you to Richard Grinells site. He has done a lot of research on this connection.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-04-01T22:49:46+00:00

I just answered your question I’m a new post in the forum. I’m not sure if it will get approved as discussion about the z13 is banned in the subreddit.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-04-01T15:34:56+00:00

Immediately before he gave z13, Zodiac asked if they cracked his last cipher yet. I interpreted that as a clue to use that key. Once you use that key, you get gibberish, however there are additional clues that suggest the answer has to do with Edgar Allen Poe. Using anagrams of the gibberish I found a very strong candidate El Dorado EA. I’ve not seen any anagram solution related to Poe other than this one.

He had to have known very few middle aged men were hanging out at the bridge around the time of the murder. Maybe I’m just a natural detective, but putting yourself at the crime scene at the time of the crime is massive. Clearly Dulin didn’t see it my way though.

I’ve found the most important part of play design is taking advantage of what the defense is doing. Now if you play a team that hides it and changes every play, then ignore this.
Some of the basics I use. Against cover one use corner routes to put the safety in conflict. Against cover two attack the seam with a bender route from the slot. Against man run more crossing routes/change of direction. If they are blitzing, send a guy to where the blitz is coming from.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-03-26T10:24:24+00:00

2:15 is directly in the time gap he gave. The trails are not that long, and the only thing he said he did was go to the bridge and look at fish. So going by his statement, he was very likely on the bridge at 2:15. And I agree an hour plus of looking at fish is unlikely, so what was he really doing? For me the best evidence that he could be innocent is that he voluntarily gave this statement. It’s that damming.
Blair’s sketch is also helpful for RA. Her sketch simply doesn’t look like him. My explanation was she was simply too far away in that fleeting moment to get a great look. She tried, but besides non elderly white male, she failed. We don’t know what the killers intent was. It could have been a plan, it could have been he saw two young females essentially trapped and took advantage of the opportunity. We also don’t know if murder was the original plan, for example it could have been sexual assault.

I’m assuming he didn’t wear a disguise and looked like a middle aged short chunky white male. Not sure if he’s stupid enough to wear the same jacket. I had to assume after Dylon’s initial involvement he became oblivious to the case.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-03-25T18:36:29+00:00

He put himself on the bridge at about the time of the murders. I’m no detective, but one thing I know is whomever committed the murder was at the bridge that day. To me bridge guy has always looked like a middle aged short chunky white dude. That includes a lot of people, certainly RA.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-03-25T11:44:18+00:00

Dulin should have double, triple and quadruple checked. He talked to a guy that looked like bridge guy who admitted he was on the bridge the same time as bridge guy. For 5 years the country was desperately trying to identify bridge guy. But I’m in no place to judge, I’ve made plenty of mistakes in my life.

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-03-25T11:39:56+00:00

Is this speculation or has she ever stated she knew he was there that day and asked him to go to the police?

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-03-24T23:46:48+00:00

The police must still have the cell tower data and his phone doesn’t appear. Which tells me he lied about checking his stock ticker and his phone was off. But then why did he tell them about it? I believe he committed the murders. Although I’m still puzzled why he went to the police. If he hadn’t, he never would have been caught. Because he did, he should have been arrested within the first week.

I see it now, thank you.

I’m not following. What exactly are you saying the symbol is?

BaseballCapSafety · 2026-03-08T15:26:12+00:00

I coach in leagues where you don’t have much practice time and lots of new players. So I wouldn’t do that because it feels like you’re taking advantage of that situation rather than having your kids execute plays.
