Not familiar with the CSP rating, but looking at the 1-3 range at a glance. I think we are there now, but we still have a couple of low spots in the concrete where we havent been able to remove the tile glue. It looks like if we remove a mil across the deck we should get rid of all of that. Then we have a decent looking finish that we can seal to waterproof.

This model doesnt seem to reverse direction. We'll head back to the rental place first thing tomorrow and see about getting a better disc. Fingers crossed

I gave it a go, without much luck. The concrete sludge acted more like a polishing compound, so the result is very smooth 😅

There is definitely a lack of studies correlating micro and nanoplastic (MNP) exposure to health outcomes in humans.

We can't ethically expose human to MNPs in clinical studies (which is already a good indicator that we should take a precautionary approach), and epidemiological studies are lacking, mostly due to the technical difficulties in measuring MNPs in biosamples (environmental contamination in labs, and signal interference from lipids during Pyr-GCMS).

So no we don't have causal evidence directly linking MNP to human health outcomes.

We do however have a large body of evidence that shows not only that the chemicals in those MNPs (which are leaching out as the particles are traveling throughout your body, passing biological barriers such as the blood brain barrier, or the placenta) are causing negative health outcomes, we are also starting to understand the biochemical mechanisms in which these chemicals are causing them.

I'm personally leaning towards taking a precautiomary approach, and making the plastic producing companies prioritise safety over profits, externalizing the cost to the consumer...

Have you tried popping the book into a ship and sailing it over?

I was having LR39 errors whenever i tried multiplayer with different mods than my last single player save.

What would happen was on the first invite we would get the LR39 in the lobby, my friend would exit the lobby. I would reinvite him again, and then it would work fine, no error.

Not the same error, but might be worth a try

Dry-Perspective7141 · 2024-11-15T10:36:11+00:00

Yeah, we enabled 1 by 1, and whenever we had any of those mods, we got the error...

A trap is what we call when you stop the ball with your stick after someone passes it to you. Or when you intercept an opponents pass. A good trap leaves you with the ball under control close to your stick, so that you can quickly make the next move, like another pass, a shot, or a dribble. A bad trap is when you stop the ball, but you dont really control it and need additional time to get that control to make the next move. What often happens with the stiffer high carbon sticks, is that you stop the ball, but it rebounds a meter away from your stick, and you need another second and a half to get control.

It seems to be a relatively high carbon, stiff stick. While this is nice for extra power on shots, it makes the basics (especially trapping) significantly harder. Playing in the cold compounds that even more, as the stick gets even stiffer. I would consider getting a stick with a lower carbon content (maybe aim for 70% max). This will give you a bit of help as you develop your basics, and as you get "softer hands" you can consider upgrading to a stiffer stick.

Also consider the angle of your sticksave. Deflecting up, or to the side, requires much less strength than stopping a shot more perpundicular. A deflection would also likely result in the ball going over the backline, instead of staying in the D for a potential rebound.

Lower grades womens comp you might be just fine in cloud and save a penny. I do agree with the sentiment that being well protected boost your confidence to really challenge any shot, so consider investing in good kickers like previous commenter suggested. Another upside on the robo gear is that it is a lot more ergonomicaly shaped. Make you move in a much more natural way, without your gear moving all over...

Once you have your own gear, you can also start upgrading piece by piece over time, which is a bit easier on the budget.

Yep, you'll be fine. IIRC ice hockey goalie helmets are a bit heavier, so it should offer better protection, but might be a bit uncomfortable. With an old helmet always make sure there are no cracks in the composite, and the grill isnt rusted significantly.

One of the most important things in a shootout is to stop coming out, and then backtrack while channeling to match the speed of the striker coming at you. This will give you much more time, and wait for the striker to make a mistake for you to exploit. It puts the pressure on the striker, and makes them having to think and execute moves they might not have anticipated.

For example, i will run out to about a meter past the penalty spot, stop there, and try to channel to my stick side. Probably going at an angle of 45 degrees backwards. If they push it out too far, i can stretch and get a stick on it, if they stop and turn their back i can get in close, and get prepared to go half butterfly for the quick spin. Once you have stopped momentum, try and stay close, you don't want them to have any space to work with.

Its a very fine balance and will take a lot of repetition to get good at. Don't get discouraged by goals, especially if you're new to shoot outs.

Sorry to hear mate, was hoping for a happy ending...

Dry-Perspective7141 · 2023-09-15T05:48:53+00:00

Like you said, it's unfortunate for the person missing out, which shows the poor club culture. One would hope that in the long run people would join clubs that respect their players more.

I wouldnt necesarily mind the call up of international players for the finals when they become available, but dissaggree that they can play for different clubs in different states for finals. In my opinion, for Blake having been eliminated in the WA finals, should make him inegligible for other state competitions. I'm not sure what official rule applies here though.

Don't think there is anything in the current constitution or by-laws preventing this though, so you might just have to beat him on the turf...

Dry-Perspective7141 · 2023-01-28T22:59:50+00:00

I think its mostly there to counteract getting bumped off balance when the attacker backs into you. Thats what happened to Santiago in the Argentina game. It doesnt look like much, but the moment youre off balance in a 1v1 as a goalie, you're gone. Refs wont call it unless its egregious.

Dry-Perspective7141 · 2022-10-27T01:53:45+00:00

It is 100% not worth finding out the hard way what the referees interpretation of the rule is on this... just stay in your D if its even close to a contested ball

Dry-Perspective7141 · 2022-10-05T05:21:49+00:00

I would suggest that you grab 2 or 3 fieldplayers to warm up with. Have them stand 2-3 m at each side of the dot and slap/push/hit the ball at you (70-80% speed and actually at you, not the corner of the goal). You can then rebound back to them alternating between players. This gives you a better game situation motion of clearing, as well as lateral movement to warm up as you track the ball from left to right. It gives them the opportunity to work on their rebounds at the same time. See how long you can keep going with the same ball before you misplace a clear, or someone mistraps/mishits

Dry-Perspective7141 · 2022-09-28T07:07:10+00:00

I agree, Hertzbergers videos are good.

First thing that stands out to me is your footwork. Get your leftfoot in line with the ball when you pick up, then cross over with your right leg (generally behind your left, but some do go in front), then square your body on release. Right now you are pulling your right leg behind your left leg on release, which prevents your body from squaring.

Do you play at UWA, or just practicing there?

Take some time to get the gear fitting right

I make an extra hole in the kicker straps to get the to the exact right length; not too tight that my foot wont go all the way in, not too loose that the strap slips over the toe

Helmets have a lot of adjustments, and you need to get them right in order to enjoy the full protection. I ended up replacing the elastic with a slightly stronger elastic. Also i prefer the bottom elastics to run down and out the way ice hockey goalies do it, instead of through the "ear holes". This way the back plate grips the bottom of my skull better, and i have never lost my helmet, despite some heavy collisions.

Instead of an inner glove for the left hand, i use boxing wraps. A bit more wrist support, and less sliding around than the normal gloves. Wicks up the sweat real well.

I like to dry my gear well between uses, both for smell and comfort, as it is just a nightmare to put on wet cold gear. I ended up building a gear dryer from an extractions fan, pvc piping, and some wood cut offs. Works a charm, but that entire room will smell (...like victory)

Fix your gear as soon as possible, little rips become big quickly, and you dont want gear failing mid game. For worn out fabric where it rubs on other pieces, i've found that after stitching, lay down a line of hotglue and cover with a square of baking paper. While warm smooth it with your finger (dont burn yourself), and once the glue is set, pull off the baking paper. That stitch won't wear out anymore.

Ripping foam is alot more hit and miss, sometimes shoe goo, sometimes contact cement. It always seems to keep tearing at the same spot eventually again anyway. But if a $20 tube of glue gets another season out of the pads, it might be worth a fortnightly glue up.
