The Colloid Base

“In essence, bending and straightening the Right Elbow will raise and lower the left arm and/or cock and uncock the left wrist without bending, flattening, or cocking the right wrist. Right elbow action either powers and/or controls all three elements of the Three Dimensional Impact, (downward, outward, and forward).” Homer Kelley

But when combined with the bending backward of the right wrist the clubshaft and right forearm fall into line with one another. This is absolutely crucial in delivering a fully supported club into the ball.

“With this “inline” relationship of loading the club and Right Forearm it is mandatory that Hitting or Swinging it is the Right Forearm - not just the right hand and/or clubshaft - that must be thrown, driven, into Impact. Always, for all procedures, the Right Forearm is positioned “on Plane” - pointing at the Plane Line as the Angle of Attack.” Homer Kelley

“The On Plane Right Forearm shows the precise up-and-down direction it and the Clubshaft must make throughout the Stroke. The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm show the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. So the Right Forearm must leave - and precisely return - to its own Fix Position.” - Homer Kelley

For a drill, take a club in your right hand and hold it horizontal to the ground. Now lower the Right Forearm and clubshaft to a table top. You’ll see that both the Right Forearm and clubshaft are in one line. Now move the Right forearm back and forth making sure that it does not leave the table. This is called Right Forearm tracing.

Now bend the right wrist backward and you’ll notice that the clubshaft and Right Forearm are once again in line but this time they form a “wedge”. Move this assembly back and forth on the table. You now have a precision assembly and the Right Forearm Flying Wedge.

The goal with this drill is to make you aware of what the Right Forearm and clubshaft should do during the stroke. When the clubshaft and Right Forearm are in the same alignment you have a positive force into Impact, lag pressure, and a sound that is unmistakable!

On my way to the airport on Monday, I was listening to a familiar talk radio show and realized that Terrell Owens signed with the Dallas Cowboys. I have to admit that when it comes to sports I have been out of the fold since I gave up THE TICKET radio station six years ago. To give you a little history, I was a sports junkie up until this time so I have some idea about Terrell Owens. I’m not one of those who thinks that MARCH MADNESS is an allergic reaction to giving up chocolate for LENT. Frankly, even though I had heard a rumor months ago that this might happen, I hadn’t given it much thought.

Have You Ever Rolled Your Eyes at the Radio? I must have been the only one in town who didn’t realize that this was and is the most important issue facing DFW right now. There was a blistering discussion about whether Jerry Jones should have brought Terrell Owens to Dallas. This host fanned the flame of passion like a master craftsman over the barbecue pit. Can’t the Cowboys win with a group of talented individuals? Does team chemistry really matter? The outrage was loud and about evenly divided.

We Need Terrell to Win! One caller was almost yelling about how Terrell Owens is the best player in the game right now and maybe the best receiver to have ever played the game. He was shocked that people couldn’t see the bigger picture. We must have a Superbowl this year, right? It was obvious that the two worlds of sport addicts and talk show conservatives had come to an impasse.

Are You Really Surprised? Even a casual observer of Dallas sports knows a few things about Jerry Jones. First, he is a master marketer. No one can deny that he took a franchise that was in serious decline and restored the value of the brand. Second, he loves to win. The guy hates to lose. You can see the pain on his face when the hopes of Superbowl glory slip beyond his reach for yet another season. Third, character is not his main priority. I’m not sure where it is on the list, but the results speak for themselves. There have been more than a few significant character flaws that have come to the surface over the years. Of course, the Dallas media is relentless in keeping those fresh on everyone’s mind. That is, until another Superbowl is necessary.

What Do You Think? Do people ever really change? Can Terrell come to Dallas and be a model citizen? Can Jerry Jones change his paradigm and put character as his number one priority?

Who said baseball wasn’t worth fighting for? The Marine Corps is ready at any called moment. If the Corps is needed then fight it will. Baseball the game the world over knows and loves is certainly worth fighting for. Now ! Let’s keep it’s honor clean.

The ball takes an unmerciful beating but it keeps right on ticking. We hit that little hosshide as hard as we possibly can with an aluminum or a wooden bat. All it does is take off like a rocket. We even throw it in the dirt. We put pepper on it during our bunting practices. Can that little feller take the abuse it gets? It does until the umpire looks it over and decides to throw it out of the game.

It is only fitting that the little baseball says, “Now it’s my turn to play tricks, I’ll do my thing.” The environment, the heat index, the cloud cover, the background stadium paint color, the wind, the altitude of the field, and the humidity are all allies of the little baseball doing it’s thing.

Reason with me a little and hear me out. The baseball is our little buddy and we need to learn that under different conditions he does strange little tricks. It behoves us as players to listen to what the Thinker is thinking and learn some things.

Stay right there and you will get information which little baseball thinks is comical when you don’t pay attention and be heads up. Different conditions require different ways to play that ball and his tricks.

Environment The weight of the atmosphere is different in a clean clear air of the countryside compared to the smog filled city. Smog filled air is heavier and makes, the baseball jump or curve more precisely. The tropical climate near our equator is heavy moist air and makes little baseball jump like a jelly bean. Our island countries again have heavier air and more predominant wind currents and causes the ball to move quicker and jump like a flicker.

Heat Index High heat means dryer air and lesser lift or drag on the ball. The pitcher cannot make the ball dance a butterfly dip in dry air. A cold day is normally more moisture laden than the hotter day with dry air. This colder air will give a good lift to the ball sailing deep into the outfield. The ball may even continue it’s journey and clear the fence.

Cloud Cover causes a multitude of problems during the game.You will hear the term “high sky” and you must be aware that little white pebble will go up up up and the ball player is trying his best to find and see it. Low clouds or good cloud cover is an outfielders paradise for he sees the ball clear as a bell.
The clouds hanging up there, lazy and serene, mean calm winds. Clouds moving across the skies above the stadium like they are in a hurry and will be late for the dance, better look out. The ball hit high into the air will catch a gust of wind and will out run you.

Stadium Paint Color/Background will affect your ability to pick up the ball (see it) leaving the bat. Players move by instinct on the sound of the “crack of the bat” and the body language of the hitter. This move by instinct is one thing but he has to immediately see that ball to move just right. The white ball and a white painted stadium for background is trouble. It is hard to quickly see and judge the flight of the ball with a white or light background. Day time games and night games are effected differently in the various parks around the playing league. The color scheme of stadium painting should consider the effects on seeing the ball by the ball players.

Wind Where does it come from and where does it go ? It is one of the mysteries of the universe. One thing for sure you know when it’s with you. The neighborhood reaps destruction when it gets too rowdy. Baseball players quickly learn it makes the little baseball go here and there and even changes it’s mind and little ball has you tricked. It will blow like “Moby Dick” snorting or be as calm as a lamb lying on the hay. The ball cares less. It’s along for the ride. Catch him if you can.

Altitude changes everything on the baseball playing field. Denver, Colorado and Mexico City, Mexico with their high above sea level altitude allows the little baseball to streak high and wide across the sky. Jacksonville, Florida home of the Jacksonville Suns of the Southern League is slow down time but watch out for that low hanging bright sun. The altitude in relation to sea level changes the habits of the ball. Higher altitude with the less dense air mass lets the little ball just keep on trucking. Low altitude and more dense air mass impedes the travel distance of the little baseball.

Ball players with the “want to” and burning desire to be All Stars and later on, make the “Big Show”, must pick up the habit of the Thinker and ponder those things which separate the winners from the losers. Teams and teammates should in unison gain the winning edge. Learn all about baseball.

Batter Up—Let’s Play Ball…

When all about baseball is important to all around baseball players and baseball fans. Stay heads up and play under control.

There are some things that you should know about WaveRunners and Jet Skis, especially if you are looking to buy. Since WaveRunners were introduced in 1987, the market has boomed with all types of models offering a great range of options. This wide range of models has also made selecting the best one for your needs a bit more difficult. By considering what you need and what each company has to offer, you can get the best watercraft for your money.

The first and most important thing to consider is how many people you want to be able to ride your personal watercraft at once. Today’s models offer a range of 1 - 4 riders, with the 3 rider models having the most options to choose from. Single rider models are the smallest category and all models differ greatly. The biggest difference is there are the classic standing Jet Skis that offer the sportiest ride, but lack storage and functionality. Sit down models offer the most versatility for single riders. They have more storage compartments and a more comfortable ride. They also offer more horsepower and larger fuel tanks for a great distance range. SeaDoo offers a model that has 5 different riding modes offering something for everybody. Two-seater models and above are sitting only, but the foot wells offer great stability for cornering in a crouch-like stance. Most models will be three seaters and you don’t give up any performance for having the option the extra person. You can find models that start at about $6,000 - $12,000 depending on what you are looking for. Kawasaki offers great models for the economical rider, while SeaDoo leads the pack in horsepower and price with the RXT that boasts 215hp at $11,499 MSRP.

The next thing to seriously consider is what kind of recreation you will be using the WaveRunner for. If you need to be traveling distances, then you will need an economical engine with a large fuel tank. More horsepower will suck more gas, whether it has a large capacity tank or not.

Another difference you should keep in mind is the storage capacity. More features can hinder the storage capacity greatly. Top end models sometimes have things that you will never use. Be certain to look into the compartments as well, because odd shaped objects might fit inside one model and not another.

The best thing to do before you go shopping is make a list of things you need. Then when you are shopping, you can choose a couple of models that fit your criteria and go for the things that you want as well.

There are several types of learners but there are two that stand out in my mind because they are
the opposite pole of each other:

- The ones you teach over and over and over and never learn!

- The ones you teach once and you will never need to repeat yourself ever again! They’ve learned.

A few years back I was having a tennis camp with a group of young boys and girls and together we
were reviewing a few pointers that we had been practicing over the last 2 weeks.

As I went through the group I realized that the one with the best understanding of the whole issue , the one that had thoroughly studied the subject and actually knew how to apply it, was a tiny 8 year old girl!

While the 10, 12 and 14 year olds got their tongues tied at every question I made, to their embarrassment, the little one sitting right in the front row with these great big scintillating
eyes and a bright smile, would lift her tiny left index finger almost jumping of her seat and
joyfully say:

- I know! I know! I know!

And yes she did know, in addition she was able to make an exposé of my previous teachings with her own practical examples and observations. What a delight!

Surely she had been listening! Deep inside I was totally in love with the little munchkin, literally amazed at her power of retention not to mention her sponge-like absorption, but I sort of had to slow her down a bit for her own sake, for I could see the annoyed faces of the older ones. Maybe would they do something to her later? o:)

It did not take me long to figure out why she was so good!

- She was bright.

- She was the youngest one, the taste of defeat and self doubt had not entered her realm.

- She had an insatiable desire to drink from the fountain of learning.

- Her big round eyes were as large as oceans filled with curiosity, fantasy and dreams.

- She was a breath of fresh air in our world-full of cynics and nay Sayers.

- The little finger pointing up, indicated to me how the sky was not the limit!

- She was excited about the game of tennis!

What can we learn from that little girl?

Forget about past defeat, there are always new and exciting challenges to overcome! Be a child again; dream big, be limitlessly curious, be insatiable in your thirst for knowledge! Take every tennis lesson, practice or match with endless enthusiasm, unbridled joy and excitement. Listen to your instructor. Learn, learn, learn…

And…oh! I forgot to tell you about what the little girl knew so well and that was:

“Dr. Jim E. Loehr’s 12 Tips of Mental Toughness:

Eye Control -

Focus your eyes on either your racquet or the ground to keep your attention focused between points.

Rituals -

Establish rituals between and before points to appropriately balance relaxation, focus and intensity prior to starting each point.

Winning Pace -

Pace yourself between points especially when angry, nervous, or fatigued to allow yourself to gain control of pulse rate and to remain focused.

Breathing -

Practice deep breathing habits between points to help relax and lower pulse rate. Breathe out at contact when hitting the ball to get better control, relaxation and feel.

High Positive Intensity -

Even when very fatigued or when you feel negative, project the image of having a high level of Positive Intensity.

Calmness and Relaxation -

When nervous and tense, try to project yourself, so being relaxed and calm.

Mistake Management -

When you make a mistake, learn to just turn and walk away from it.
Don’t lose your composure. “let it go”

Confident Fighter Image -

No Matter how bad it gets, project the image that you are confident and will fight to the end.

Negative Self-Talk -

Avoid expressing Negative Self-Talk during play. It only fosters bad results and pumps up your opponent.

Positive Attitude -

Think positively about your situation in the face of adversity. Become challenged.

“I Love The Battle” -

Don’t appear scared or threatened when things get tough; project a challenged and winning appearance at all times.

Racquet Up - “I’m Up” -

Carry your racquet in the opposite hand and keep it up, not dragging it low, as a symbol that when my racquet is up, I’m up.

The above list is taken from Dr. Loehr’s videotape entitled

Mental Toughness Training For Sports, Stephen Greene Press, 1986.”

One the main benefits of playing online poker is the opportunity it gives you to take notes about your opponents. Because you are in the comfort of your own home, you can take the kind of notes that you need to predict the actions of the other players at the table. Remember that no one can see the notes except you, so feel free to take them in a style that makes you remember the other player’s characteristics. Use words that mean something to you instead of the official terms. These are your notes, after all.

Before you start taking notes on everyone in an online casino, which would be a formidable task, you should learn to take notes selectively. It is not important to write down everything that another player does only habitual actions that give a glance into his thought process.

For example, you should definitely write down if a player habitually raises pre-flop in Texas Hold’em. This kind of information will let you know whether the player is an aggressive or conservative poker player over a long enough period of time. On the other hand, if that same player makes a single obvious mistake, but plays well normally, you should let it slide. Most likely he was just distracted in the moment.

By taking notes when you play poker online, you have the opportunity to learn about your opponents. It is a learning tool that is not available in a traditional brick and mortar casino. Take advantage of the opportunity to improve your game. You won’t regret it.

Having four kids, it is very funny to perform even the simplest magic tricks for them, especially the younger ones. That is because when I do magic tricks for kids, they think that I actually have magical powers. Now, my older kids just think it is funny and try to catch me at my slight of hand stuff, but my younger ones are convinced that I have powers beyond their comprehension. Sometimes my three year old will ask me to teleport him somewhere. I shouldn’t be too proud I guess, since these are the same children who believe that automatic flushing toilets are magical too.
My son recently started getting into the art of doing magic. However, he found out very quickly that it is not nearly as easy as the guys on television make it seem to be. He was getting discouraged so I decided to look online for some easy magic tricks for him to do. I actually found quite a few, but he is a little frustrated because no one tells how to do the really neat tricks that he has seen (making big things disappear, hands going through people, etc.). I told him that like most things, he has to start with the basics and then move to the more complicated stuff.

If you ever went bowling as a little kid, you probably roamed around the back of the alleys searching for a bowling ball. You stuck your fingers into one after another until you found one that fit and wasn’t too heavy and said “This is fine”. And then off you went to roll your game. Well, if you’re going to have the best chance of becoming a decent bowler, the days of popping a ball of the rear racks isn’t going to do it. You’re going to need a ball that fits your hands and the kind of lanes that you’re going to bowl on. Most likely, you’re going to need more than one.

If you’re shaking your head right now saying “Are you kidding?” then you better think again. The truth is, there is no one bowling ball that is going to be effective on all lane conditions. But first, you have to make sure you get a ball that fits correctly.

Most bowling alleys will have a pro shop on the premises with a person running it who, hopefully, knows what he is doing. Once you go in, the first thing he will do is measure your hand with special instruments. This will give him a perfect measure of your finger span. Then he will measure the size of each finger that you will use to place in the bowling ball, which are you thumb, middle and ring finger.

After the measurements are done, he’ll ask you what type of ball you want. If you’re serious about your game, you’ll tell him you want one ball for oily lanes and another for dry lanes. The reason for this is because on oily lanes the ball doesn’t hook as much and may actually have a tendency to skid. You want a ball that will grip these kind of lanes or one that is very soft.

Bowling balls come in degrees of hardness. A very hard bowling ball, good for dry lanes will have a hardness of as much as 90 or more. A very soft bowling ball, which we mentioned is good for oily lanes may have a hardness of about 70 or even less. And of course there are balls with hardness factors in between those numbers. Many professionals will have 3 bowling balls, one of hardness 70, another of hardness 80 to 82 and another of hardness 90. This way he can handle all types of lane conditions.

Aside from hardness factor, bowling balls are also made of different substances. The most common are rubber, plastic and polyurethane. Each one behaves a little differently based on the lane conditions. For example, a soft rubber ball of hardness 70 will grip the lane a little better than a soft plastic ball of hardness 70. Yes, the game of bowling, when it comes to bowling balls, can be quite complex.

When choosing a ball, if you can only afford 1, think about the lane conditions of the bowling alley you most frequent and pick a ball that is most suited for those lanes. For an all around all purpose bowling ball, you’ll probably want to go with a rubber ball of hardness around 80 to 82.

The Chicago Bulls are the third NBA team to hail from Chicago, following the Packers/Zephyrs, who are now the Washington Wizards, and the Stags (from 1946 to 1950). The team’s first season began in 1966 and ended the season with the best record ever by an expansion team, making them a challenger in the playoffs. The first two years in the league, the Bulls played in the International Amphitheatre, then moved to Chicago Stadium.

Over the next few years, the Bulls put themselves together in competitive fashion but never quite achieved the level of the best in the sport. In the 1970’s, they became a very defensive team and managed to win a single division title, never making it to the finals. By the late 1970’s and the early 1980’s, the Bulls were at the bottom of the league. The turnaround came in 1984, with their third pick in the NBA Draft, where they picked up Michael Jordan, who would go on to set records and have the nation referring to him and the best NBA player of all time.

After several moves in the league over the off seasons between 1987 and 1989, the new starting lineup for the Bulls included Jordan, Paxson, Pippen, Grant, and Cartwright, who, although taking time to find their chemistry, would mesh to form the beginning of the Chicago Bulls dynasty. The team, under Jordan, would win six NBA Championships.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before. The Sixers lead for the majority of last night’s
game only to fall short in the fourth quarter. On a night when a vocal minority came
out to see one of the NBA’s brightest and most popular stars on his only trip to the
city of brotherly love this season, the Sixers again collapsed down the stretch en
route to losing their third consecutive game, all by 4 points or less. After this latest
debacle Allen Iverson said, “We played real well for the majority of the game, but
collapsed at the wrong time. It seems like a déj vu type of thing. It just keeps
happening the same way and we can’t seem to get it under control.”

Less than 24 hours after the Sixers inexplicably abandoned a game plan of driving
to the basket to score easy layups or draw fouls in favor of recklessly launching
jump shots with little success, the team came out in the first quarter last night and
you guessed it, they began launching jump shots. With Chris Webber (1 for 6) and
Kyle Korver, starting his first game since 1/16 thanks to Kevin Ollie’s sprained ankle
(0 for 5 all from 3 point range) leading the way, the Sixers shot an abysmal 36% (9
for 25) in the first quarter. Despite those stats however the team miraculously found
themselves down only a single point when the quarter ended. Webber supplemented
his poor shooting by becoming an absolute monster on the boards pulling down 8
of his twenty rebounds for the night, 6 on the defensive end of the court. Prodigal
center Steven Hunter added 2 powerful slam dunks on consecutive trips down the
floor, the second of which came courtesy of a beautiful feed from Iverson. But the
real star of the first quarter was Iverson himself. He shot 5 for 9 from the field
including a stellar drive to the hoop with 23 seconds remaining where he made the
layup, drew the foul and converted the free throw to bring the Sixers to within one
23-22.

The second quarter began with birthday boy Matt Barnes making back to back
brilliant passes, first to Samuel Dalembert for a dunk that gave the Sixers their first
lead of the game and then a highlight reel alley-oop pass to Andre Iguadala
sparking an 8-1 Sixers run widening that lead to 7, a lead they wouldn’t relinquish
until the 9:20 mark of the fourth quarter. The second twelve minutes went so well
the Sixers actually increased their lead with Iverson on the bench for nearly four
minutes of playing time. When John Salmons checked in for AI at the 6:50 mark the
Sixers lead had been cut to two. During Iverson’s absence, Barnes scored 4 of his 6
points and Salmons netted all 5 of his to give the Sixers a 45-38 lead. Their lead
would get as high as 10 and the first half eventually ended with the Sixers up by 9
points (coincidentally the same number of points they held the league’s 7th leading
scorer, Carmelo Anthony to in the first half).

The second half began where the first half left off. The team seemed to come out
inspired. Webber and Iverson each hit three pointers and after Andre Miller fouled
Iguadala and was slapped with a technical foul for “disagreeing” with said call,
Iguadala hit 2 of 3 foul shots to give the Sixers their largest lead of the night at 15.
That is where the good news for the Sixers pretty much ended. Nuggets coach
George Karl then decided to substitute reserve forward DerMarr Johnson for 7′
starting center Francisco Elson. “I played small only because our ball handling was
atrocious in the beginning of the third quarter. We played small against them in
Denver and we played well” Karl said when asked to explain his decision. The move
certainly sparked the Nuggets as Anthony cut the Sixers lead to single digits with a
baseline drive and a slam with 3:15 to go in the quarter. After a missed 3 point
attempt by Barnes a loose ball took a fortunate bounce to Johnson who calmly hit a
3 of his own to cut the lead to 6. The Sixers did manage to get the lead back to 7 at
the end of the quarter but all 18,194 in attendance could sense what was on the
horizon.

The fourth quarter began as disastrous as it could for the home team as Denver
went on a 7-0 run to start the quarter and more importantly tie the game at 79.
Former Sixer Greg Buckner then hit a three pointer to put Denver up 82-79 at the
9:20 mark of the final stanza. The feeling of impending doom was now cascading
through the crowd. The Sixers answered back though and tied the game again with
6:40 remaining only to see Denver rattle off 5 unanswered points in the next 40
seconds. With a chance to once again tie the game with three minutes remaining,
Webber missed two free throws finishing the night an unacceptable 6 for 12 from
the charity stripe. Showing his ability to lift up this team and carry it on his back,
Iverson tied the game once again on a drive and layup with 2:05 left in regulation.
After a Denver shot clock violation, Iverson missed a running one hander from the
left of the lane that could have reclaimed the lead for the Sixers. Andre Miller then
misfired on his attempt to take the lead but somehow managed to scoop up the
loose ball while lying on his back and called a timeout with 34 seconds left to play.
Out of the time out Anthony drove through Korver and Iguadala to hit a
breathtaking reverse layup to give Denver the lead back with only 18.9 seconds
remaining. The Sixers, looking to set up the tying field goal, called a timeout of
their own. Coach Cheeks diagramed the play. Iguadala inbounded the ball to
Iverson, who drove the lane looking for the tying bucket or a foul call. He got
neither. His finger roll attempt was blocked out of bounds by Johnson. “I just tried
to use my left arm to try to stay in front of him” said Johnson, “I’m tall but I’m very
quick”. Marcus Camby added “DerMarr was awesome. For a guy who gets
inconsistent minutes he stayed professional. Coach called him and he made some
key defensive plays on Iverson”. The Sixers were then set to inbound the ball with
11.7 seconds left. Webber received the pass and with Iverson blanketed by Johnson,
he handed the ball over to Korver. Kyle drove the lane but had his lay up attempt
rejected by Camby capping an absolute nightmare shooting night for Korver (3 for
16, including 1 for 12 from 3 pt. range). Anthony grabbed the rebound off the
block, was fouled and promptly made both scoring his 19th and 20th points of the
half sealing the come from behind victory for Denver 97-93.

With New Jersey floundering recently and idle until Sunday night, a win here could
have gone a long way towards catching them for the division lead (which by the way
things are progressing may be the only way to make the playoffs) but instead the
home team and fans were once again left angry, frustrated and looking for answers.

Hmmmmmmm…….I feel like I’ve been here before.

Sixer Notes:

–Chris Webber recorded his 28th double-double of the season. It was also the
second time this season and 11th time in his career he recorded 20+ rebounds in a
game.

–The Sixers have out rebounded their opponents in the last two games (104-87)
after being out rebounded in their previous 11

–The Sixers shot below 40% in consecutive games for the first time this season.
38.5% last night and 37.5% in Boston Wednesday night.

–Last night’s game completed the Sixers’ home schedule against the Western
Conference. They finished 11-4 against the West at the Wachovia Center after going
4-11 last year.

–As noted Kevin Ollie did not dress for the game due to a right ankle sprain.
