5 Effective Drills At Helping Players Improve
I've had the opportunity to work with and observe a bunch of great basketball coaches over the years, and it's always fun to learn new drills and new ways to teach and run old drills as well. Today, I wanted to share 5 unusual drills that I've personally only seen a very small number of coaches use but that seem to be highly effective at helping players to improve.
"16 3-2-1"
In 1994, my family moved to San Antonio, and I had a chance to play for Charlie Boggess, a legendary coach and a great mentor and friend. He borrowed and tweaked and developed a lot of great drills, and 16 3-2-1 was probably my favorite.
In this drill, all players are spread out on the different baskets shooting a 1 and 1. If the player misses the first free throw, he must run 3 down and back sprints. If he misses the second free throw, then he must run 2 down and back sprints. And if he makes both free throws, he only has to run 1 down and back sprint. The goal is to make 16 free throws in less than 8 minutes, and players must do 10 pushups for each free throw they fall short of 16.

I know I haven't been on here in a long time, but here I am, with a rant. This is about people who complain about religion not being in schools. One religion in particular is known for this, and this blog will sound like I'm targeting them because of this fact, but this blog is aimed at really any religion that complains about it. Pagans are guilty of this too.
Brace yourself.
Please do not complain that your God "isn't allowed" in schools, and that's why there is so much turmoil. That argument is silly for three reasons:
#1: No god is banned from schools. Teachers forcing a particular god down the throats of unwilling children is what isn't allowed. There are more religions than just yours. Bring your bible or other religious books. Just don't bash others over the head with it.
#2: Your God should have more power than that. Do you really think a silly man-made law is going to keep them out? Saying things like that, I think, is the same as calling your God weak. No mere human can keep Them out of any place They want to be. They aren't following you around just to bump into some invisible barrier placed by man, to sit around and wait for you to come out. No, They're going to waltz right in there with you. There are no laws, there's no sign outside of buildings saying "No Gods allowed, make them wait outside, please." And even if there was, the Gods would more than likely laugh it off and enter anyway. Our barriers, if any, mean nothing to Them.
#3: No God stopped criminals from doing what they did, no matter what religion they followed. The gods do not interfere. If you want to be a monster, that's all on YOU. No god or lack of god will change that. Also, let's not forget that some people are monsters and/or start war because of some so-called will of some god.

Helena Bonham Carter to be honored by the London Film Critics' Circle
I'm the first to admit that I don't tend to take great interest in press releases announcing the umpteenth honorary award winner of the season -- while frequently deserved and hard-earned, such honors can seem like unspecific garnish beside their tangier competitive counterparts.
Still, having now served for two years on the awards committee of the London Film Critics' Circle, I'm well aware of the extensive consultation and organization that goes into such seemingly simple awards. As we tried to decide on a recipient for next year's Dilys Powell Award -- recognizing outstanding contribution to British cinema -- a lengthy list of candidates was considered and debated over several meetings and countless emails, until one outstanding name was roundly agreed upon: Helena Bonham Carter.

Imshow and meshgrid are not working the way I thought. I have some function defined for a given (x,y) point in 2D that returns a scalar f(x,y). I want to visualize the function f using imshow.
x = np.linspace(0,4)
y = np.linspace(0,1)
X,Y = np.meshgrid(x,y)
Z = np.zeros((50,50))
for i in range(50):
for j in range(50):
Z[i,j] = f(X[i,j],Y[i,j])
fig = plt.figure()
This works as expected except in the extent I think it should be [0,4,0,1]... Am I defining the Z[i,j] to each (x,y) pair incorrectly? An explanation for how this works would be great! Thanks!

Results tagged "terror"
Three men, aged 18, 24, and 26, were arrested in early morning terror raids in Newham, just miles from the Olympic stadium.
Two other men and a woman were also held in operations that police say are not directly linked to the Games but part of a wider tightening of security. The terror alert level remains at "substantial".
Four al-Qaeda inspired terrorists have pleaded guilty to conspiring to blow up targets including the London Stock Exchange.
Ringleader Mohammed Chowdhury, 21, of Stanliff House, on the Isle of Dogs, and Shah Rahman, 29, of St Bernard's Road in Newham, were among those who admitted the charge.

Here we are on the correct continent at last. Things are not however, going exactly according to plan
The bikes arrived at Los Angeles Harbour as expected on Weds 25th September, were unloaded on the Thursday and were waiting to be transported to a warehouse on Friday. As we were landing at LA airport, that same Friday morning, the port management decided to lock out all the longshoremen (dock workers) over a contract dispute that has been in the air for a couple of months.
Only vaguely aware of this, we enjoyed the weekend seeing the glitzy areas of LA.
By the way, we had no problems with immigration at LAX, we were not asked to show proof of funds or even an onward ticket. For once, we had both. Having heard how awkward US immigration officials can be, we bought a Round the World ticket, with free date changes allowed. The return flight out of the US is dated just less than the 90 days they give you, which we have now changed to Sept 03. Not sure if we will use this part of the ticket yet, will have to wait and see
Anyway, back to our plight.
Come Monday morning, we head off early on a borrowed motorbike to retrieve our bikes. Things go almost too smoothly, the shipping agent gave us all the correct forms, cost $160. At customs, we fill in plenty of forms, answer lots of questions and pay no money. We even manage to get a lift to the warehouse to pick up our bikes, problem is they arent there.
They are caught up in the dispute, missing port clearance by one day!! How frustrating is that!!
The lock out looks set to continue for at least a week, there is talk of George Bush intervening, but it seems he has other things on his mind right now thanks Saddam.
So we are stranded in LA, luckily with friends and maybe we can get to see some more of the city.

We're slipping, sliding, cold and flooded
During Monday morning's commute, a New Hampshire State Police trooper parked his vehicle in the breakdown lane to investigate a rollover crash on Interstate 93 south in Bow, leaving the emergency lights on. A southbound vehicle lost control and struck the cruiser, significantly damaging both vehicles. Police said no one was hurt. Susan Ryan of Bow was charged with negligent driving.
The right lane was shut down while a tow truck worked to remove a car from a snow bank just after 8 a.m.
He steered left, lost traction and ended up in a snowbank.
No one was hurt. Interstate 89 was shut down for about an hour while the tractor trailer was towed.
Windy conditions will make it feel much more frigid.
On Monday, highs in the 50s brought a different kind of weather woe — burst pipes. Manchester District Fire Chief Al Poulin said when temperatures rise, once-frozen pipes expand.
Poulin said a sprinkler pipe vent in a wall of the Fisher Cats stadium burst behind home plate, causing about $30,000 in damage to carpet, dry wall and ceilings in surrounding rooms.
The closest fire personnel were already at a small fire on Morrison Street, near Pearl Street, which meant firefighters assigned to stations farther away took the call at the stadium.
Poulin also asked residents to help dig out the city's 4,500 fire hydrants; only two Manchester Water Works employees are assigned to this task.

There's an unwritten rule that I rarely follow here in Cleveland. That rule is that if a band is from Cleveland, I'm supposed to write all glowing things or else be called a hater by the local community. It's sad that it's like that, but the truth is what it is. For years I've lived with that stigma, to the point… Read More
Machine Head
What happened to Machine Head really is a crime. Unfortunately for them, it's a crime they perpetrated upon themselves.

After THE MORE THINGS CHANGE came… Read More

There's always good news and bad news whenever Max Cavalera gets busy with new music. The good is that you get a whole lot of new music, seemingly all in a very short time.

Cannibal Corpse
So really, what does anyone expect when you get a Cannibal Corpse release handed to you? Ballads, love songs and fun? Not hardly.

Unless you call Testament a "thrash band" (which I don't personally), Exodus would rank as my favorite true Thrash band of all time. They have had good times and bad.

Mr. Big
As a fan of Mr. Big, I can't honestly say that many people thought that their reunion was much more than a cash grab opportunity for the guys in the band who, while immensely talented, failed to find solo success to match their collaborative efforts. It was never a question of if they could still play.… Read More
King Kobra
Concert Tickets
So many 80s hair metal bands have come back unnecessarily. I mean, let's face it...some of them just didn't make enough of an impact back in the day to warrant a reunion now. I think for most of them, there's a record company offering a check to these guys that are now plumbers and carpenters, and they see it as a quick opportunity to finish a bunch of tunes that were left laying around when their short run back in 1989 crapped out. For most of them, the reunion records have been far less than good, for the simple fact that the magic of the moment has long since gone away. For a few of those bands though, there was still significant fire left in the tank. I'd say that King Kobra is one of those bands. While never bigger than a 2nd tier hair metal band back in the day, they created solid music then. With their reunion album, and now with II, they are not only rock solid creatively, but might just be better than they were back in their day.
And why not? Unlike some of those bands, the legendary talent of the players was never in question. Carmine Appice is as legendary as they get, having been a member of huge bands like Vanilla Fudge and Rod Stewart's band, as well as the insanely underrated Blue Murder in the late 80s. Guitarist Dave Henzerling has never really stopped creating tremendous hard rock, especially recently with bands like Tunnel, Big Cock and Steelshine. Add to the mix a new, much more gritty and yet accomplished vocalist like Paul Shortino (Quiet Riot, Rough Cutt), and you can see what there's enough talent to carry this project all by itself. That's not the case though. Simply put, II is the best release King Kobra has done – then or now. While it's audience is definitely going to be limited to those fans that loved 80s hair metal, the music on II will certainly please damn near all of them. Chock full of melody and good time lyrics, King Kobra has created one of the best throwback albums that any old band reuniting has done.
As stated, it's all about the songs here. There's plenty of good ones, and they cover the full spectrum of what you'd want from your 80s metal. There are fast songs with a lot of power, such as "Hell On Wheels" or "Knock Them Dead". There's good time rock songs that have huge hooks that will stick in your head, like the catching "Have A Good Time". There's also ballads that have the huge arena rock chorus vibe to them ("Take Me Back"). Without question, the standout performer on II is vocalist Paul Shortino. He's put forth a brilliant performance here. His vocals are gritty and strong on songs like "Deep River".
PITRIFF RATING – 85/100 – While certainly their day is long past done, King Kobra is creating solid new music that will entertain those that are fans of the classic, gritty 80s hair metal music. It's amazing that they are able to create music that is better now than they did back in their heyday, but that's exactly what is going on here. KING KOBRA II is a very entertaining, fun release.

NFL's No. 1 challenge
Published October 28, 2013, Page 27
|The Cowboys, with their giant, center-hung board, are all about the experience.
What is the NFL's biggest challenge?
The answer, after the thoughtful pause, was a familiar one for league executives these days: the in-game experience.
Jones cited all the usual suspects in support of his answer, noting the need to keep the crowd energized for a good TV image and ensuring that the social experience is a positive.
Of course, the Cowboys have little trouble selling out — the team averages a league-best 87,298 fans per game — and their center-hung, 60-yard-long scoreboard is all about entertaining. But Jones remains focused on the in-stadium issue.
At the end of the interview, he walks over to his desk and shows a letter he has mentioned several times during the conversation, one from the "nice grocery lady." A friend of his in the grocery business sent it to him. Basically, it is a screed from a customer unhappy with poor customer service who writes that she will not return.
"In short, when I come to visit, which I won't, but others will, make sure they have a pleasant visit. Then you will keep them as customers," the letter states.
While the NFL is focused on putting new amenities in stadiums to give the fans something they don't get at home, Jones says it is also important to remove barriers, like poor parking or traffic, that can keep fans from coming to the game in the first place.

I highly recommend staying here. You will need a car. our hostess Cathleen was most gracious and helpful
No cooking facilities, just an microwave
Quiet setting. Host is excellent and very informative and friendly. Would stay there again.
Ask for directions as to how to find location.
Lovely decorated room. Friendly hostess welcoming us with a cup of tea and lovely homemade bread. Lovely location and we could walk to local pub for drink and dinner.
The Shower did not work so we were disappointed and took the gloss off our stay
We stayed for two nights in this beautiful thatched house during the clarinbridge oyster festival. The whole experience from start to finish was wonderful-the house itself, the room, the view of the weir,the location and the service. Kathleen, the host was very helpful. We would highly recommend Weir Haven to everyone.
This accommodation looked like it was straight from a fairy tale. It was spotlessly clean and comfortable. It was a 5 min drive to Morans Weir Restaurant which had rave reviews. We had an early dinner the first night or we would not have been able to get in. So good we went there for second and last dinner. 5 star for both.
We appeared to have the best room which was great but the shower room was very fussy and hard to use. There was a sauna in the shower and a very complicated tap system.
From the moment you drive through the gates if this enchanting cottage it is truly a place of tranquility. Kathleen the owner is a wonderful lady too.
Nothing to dislike
The room itself was very nicely decorated and the location and it's surroundings were beautiful and scenic.
Upon arrival we were barely greeted by our hostess. She briefly showed us a seating area that we could use and more or less pointed us to our room without much of a conversation. The "power" shower had less power than a push lawn mower and the water ran cold after one shower and required a full day to reheat. The breakfast was very basic. The "freshly squeezed orange juice" consisted of a bottle of Aldi orange juice (just one) which was left there for both days we stayed. 5 slices of pan and some brown bed in a resealable bag. Our room wasn't serviced on the basis that we weren't willing to leave our key in the door for other patrons to help themselves to our belongings. (Apparently a spare key is alien to our hosts). All in all.....great location but terrible facilities and people skills.
Very peaceful and calm.
The house is beautiful. I loved the healthy living attitude. Our stay was comfortable, relaxing, warm and stimulating. The lady of the house couldn't be more helpful or kinder to us, all in all we had a most enjoyable holiday.
Everything great
