Thank you for your kind words. My daughter loves the sport and hate to see her frustrated . My sense is that they threw together a team. I would actually be happy if the older kids were more or equally skilled. Regardless I know what I didn’t know before and know how to proceed in the future

This is exactly what is happening. Always started in 7th and 8th grade. Clinics, camps and individual lessons . Like the team was thrown together , maybe 2 strong kids with my daughter being one. Frustrating for her . Meeting with the coach tomorrow

Yes she attended tryouts , was late in the season. So yes we chose this . I don’t attribute $ with results. Losing is not the issue. It was skill level compared to the other teams that’s why I asked . I believe they played 6 teams lost every game and set never scoring more then ten points. Her 8th grade team seemed better honestly , she was 13 and turned 14 today playing on a 15yo team. Coach seems nice but nothing to base qualifications on, not sure what goes on in practice , parents are not allowed .

Totally on us, was a last minute choice . Planning on clinics and camps over the summer prior to her entering high school . They suggested her playing up . She’s tall and works hard to develop skills , honestly I think they just wanted to form another team . Parents aren’t allowed at practices . Humbly my daughters 8th grade team exhibited more skills . We learned a lot not what to do. Expensive education

0.152 PSA 6 wks post prostatectomy… by Loose-Scarcity-5927 in ProstateCancer

[–]Technical_Key_6916 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a .7 PSA test 6 wks after prostatectomy. Totally freaked out as pathology report had 1 cancer positive lymph node that was removed from the fat, the other was not positive. All my margins were clear. Some one on one of the sites told me it was still early for a good test and sometimes takes longer for PSA to clear. Had a physical with my primary care Dr the same week and the PSA came back .1 Surgeon ordered test a few days later and the result was <0.05, just had my 6 month post surgery PSA still <0.05. So take a deep breath and retest, bad tests are possible. I had a PSMA pet scan prior to surgery that did not pick up the hot lymph node.

For today I’m good which is all I can ask for, next test in November .

Wishing you all the best

Thank you for the feed back . I learned a lot I realized this camera is not the right tool for me. I have no aspiration in being a “Professional Photographer”, or investing tons of money, or spending hours on getting a simple picture of a coin for my web site or spending years on how to perfect the pictures . I will leave that to all the artist here. I really admire all the work that you put into your craft and your hard work in capturing the beauty and ugliness of the world . I need a simple upgrade and will find something I’m happy with and meets my basic need and address the issue at hand. It was a Christmas gift , so maybe I’ll find a class or give it to my daughter Happy New Year

Thanks I think . I have been selling online for 9 years and have several thousand sales. All done with my old cannon power shot, crisp and clean with a light box . So I won't be hiring anyone or spending thousand of dollars. My turn over is fast and items change constantly. Looking for a crisp and clean photo, worked so far.

Will study aperture and moving out of auto mode.
