The Four Ps

I just signed up to by a varsity and jv boys volleyball manager at my school. I need to know all of the information i can before the first game. I need to know how to take stats, and what to right in the volleyball score book.

Well, you’ve asked two different questions here. I’m not sure which scoring system your league uses, but here’s a website that shows how to take stats under the USAV system. This page has links to two tutorials that show how to keep score for non-deciding sets (the first 4 of a best-of-5 match, for instance) and deciding sets (the fifth set in a 5-game match. The scoring is different for that last set because the players switch sides at 8).

One big hint I’ll give you now: have a bunch of different colored pens or pencils for keeping book. It helps if you write the numbers in different colors every time the teams start their rotation over again (when the #1 server rotates back to serve again).

Basically you start by writing down the numbers of the players on the floor at the start of the game in service order. The coaches will give you their lineups on a grid that is 3 columns wide and 2 rows deep (6 boxes) that show you the starting players. You have to keep track of the score and the substitutions. A key part of scorekeeping is making sure the correct server is serving.

For stats, talk with your coach and find out exactly what s/he wants to track. The standard stats are kills (attempts, errors, and points), assists (# of sets that result in a kill), blocks, block assists, block errors, digs, service aces and service errors.

There are a TON of other things you can stat. I keep tabs of things like service efficiency, which tracks the number of serves a server makes during each rotation. I also stat the offensive efficiency by position — for my team, that’s so I make sure our setter is spreading the ball around effectively, and for my opponent I’m watching which sets they use most often so I can set my defense accordingly.

Have fun being manager! That job can be a total blast because you can be a real source of positive energy for your team. I had a couple of great managers over the years, and not only did they make my job as coach easier, but they were able to pump the team up.

I need to buy a web camera as soon as I can, and I have done some research on web cameras, but I am not sure what to buy. I will use it with Windows Live Messenger for the most part. I would also prefer to buy one that isn’t too expensive. So if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.

I use a Logitech webcam - it knows to take pictures, too.

I have alot of original paintings, and need to find their value. Does anyone know the best site to go to for free to get inforamtion and values? I appreciate your help. Also, I need a site to find values on older prints and lithographs too.

Go to a site called — allexperts.com
Look under Arts and Humanities and search for the right person to answer your question. I have used them and they are good at what they do. And are free.

It was a male artist, maybe Keith something? I want to buy the painting for my husband for Christmas.

I think the artist you are looking for is Keith Jacobshagen. There is a good selection of his watercolors at the Kiechel art Gallery http://www.kiechelart.com/searchresults.php?artistId=2142&start=13 but only one called NW of Waverley with a tree. If this is not the right picture, I suggest you contact the gallery and ask their advice. Just click on Contact.

Where can I find bands and orchestras I can tryout for? I know about honor band, but I’m sure theres more, I really want to tryout for some sort of band. I tried out for GMEA Honor band but thats all I can find. Please help if you can.
Btw, I play Flute- live in Georgia.

Look in the paper for listings of concerts. Attend concerts and stay and talk to them after the performance about getting in.
You might find bands or orchestras at the colleges. They frequently use players which are not their students. Many Cities have bands. Check with City Hall.
Keep looking

around $1000-$2000.
or any websties where I can get lots of projectst to work on..

I want to change the web page size in photoshop cs3 without changing the height or rescaling the images/template
Sorry. I meant altering the width.
Thanks! I did canvas size and it works perfectly !!!

In Photoshop you have very little control as to the code of a web page.
Your best bet would be to open the code in a HTML editor and change it there. Just make sure you are not just resizing the aspects of an image, you want to be changing something like the width of a table or something along those lines.

Now if you want to change the width of a image without rescaling anything your only solution would be to use the crop tool. After you select what you wish to keep and press enter, the areas not selected are discarded. A similar result can be achieved by clicking on Image > Canvas Size but it doesn’t really lets you select you the portions very well.

Anything else that you do (such as Image > Image Size and unchecking constrain proportions) will cause your image to become deformed (if you reduce the width, the image will looks squished and if enlarge it, it will look streched out). Also note that resizing an image via HTML code will result in the same deformity.

Feel free to drop me a message if you are still confused after reading this.

I have NO webpage experience, but would like to put a page or two up to promote my business. I know nothing about meta tags, or search engine rankings.

Surely theres easy software out there.

I am asking the community for recommendations. The software doesn’t necessarily need to be free either. I just want to get the job done in a simple fashion.

Thanks,

As you may know a domain name is just a name, not a real website. If you are going to create your website: 1- Buy a domain name. To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. 2- Buy a web hosting service to provide your online space and enable you to get your website online at your purchased domain name.

To get further information take a look at: http://www.threehosts.com/build

You need a web hosting service which supports online payments like, Master Card, Visa & PayPal. It is very important that your service be uptime. It means that you can access your account whenever you want to update your web pages, and your visitors can view your website whenever they type your website address. If your hosting service is not uptime it is real hell!

If you want to start your website I recommend purchase your domain and hosting together. In this way it is possible to get your domain for free. Some hosting services offer this gift today.

If you want to run a successful e-commerce you must choose a reliable web hosting service. The security of your business directly depends on the security of your hosting service. (Hacker safe)
