I recently became aware of Varda Concealed Carry and its clothing products. Varda says their balances concealment with exceptional comfort and style. I tried out a polo shirt and a pair of concealment sweats. I’ve worn the clothing for a couple of months, and here are my thoughts. Varda Concealed Carry Clothing — Concealed […]
People often ask me if a person who shoots someone should also give medical aid to that person. I think the question is valid and worth some consideration. Should you help someone you shot unintentionally — Let’s start with an unintentional shooting victim. Maybe the person you shot is a friend or family member, a […]
Sig Sauer just released a new handgun called the P322 chambered in .22LR. I don’t have one, but from what I’ve heard, it will be a favorite for anyone loing for a .22LR training pistol. P322 chambered in .22LR — I’ll list all the features that Sig says will set this handgun apart, but I’ll […]

Planning is important when setting goals to get things done.
It doesn’t matter if it’s your main goal in life or a small shopping
trip. For many people, losing weight is their main goal in life. This is
something people strive for all their lives. You need a plan. If you
want your body to burn calories by limiting your metabolism, you need to
refuel and get a good supply of healthy calories. Eat smaller portions
more often. Check food labels to keep track of how you eat them. Water
is the key to weight control. Always stay hydrated. Include many healthy
foods in your diet, such as grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds,
seafood, poultry, and meat. Avoid processed foods. To keep feeling full
and full for longer, include some healthy fats in your diet. Include
plenty of fiber in your diet.
Take responsibility
The reason for gaining weight is often to blame for everything,
including parents, genes, society, and holidays. It’s time to take
responsibility for your actions. Track calories using an app available
on your smartphone or a little diary. Find a group of friends or family
members to encourage, support, and hold you accountable. If you don’t
have such people, you’ll find that there are many online support groups
where completely strangers support and cheer each other up. These people
strengthen and motivate you even if you want to quit smoking. The whole
process of losing weight takes a long time and effort. You need all the
support you can get. Intermittent fasting is another way to help
control your eating habits. Fasting is difficult at first, but over time
you will learn to ignore the urge to keep eating. Aim to lose about 12
pounds per week. It’s tempting to lose more, but in the long run it’s
impossible, and secondly, you’ll lose bone, muscle and water. This is
absolutely not necessary on your weight loss journey.
Getting to Know Yourself
Why food is hungry? What triggers do you have? Why are you hungry?
It’s time to get to know yourself and your eating habits. Some respond
to stress, some get angry, some feel comforted, and some eat out of
boredom. Some people eat when they are depressed. If you are swayed by
your emotions, learn to direct them in the other direction. Get into
healthy habits like drawing, listening to music, reading, or taking a
walk. Another reason people eat is that they spend their lives trying to
avoid wasting food or leaving nothing on their plate. If that’s the
problem, cook a little less, eat less, and store leftovers in the
refrigerator for the next meal. When you are offered free food or pay to
“eat as much as you can”, curb your urges and eat only what you need.
There is no need to justify the price. Think of it as paying for the
atmosphere or the experience. Not because of the food.
Change What You Eat
If you’re on a diet of junk food, cookies, baked goods, candies,
sodas and more, it’s time to move on to healthier, fresher ingredients.
How about adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet? Switch to
whole grains, healthy dairy products, nuts and seeds, and healthy fats
and protein. Balance your diet with the right combination of
carbohydrates, protein and fat. Choose foods with fiber that will help
you feel full longer and keep your digestion running smoothly. If you
find it difficult to distance food between meals, break your meal into 5
small meals. Always have food available when you are hungry. Eating
enough protein can make you feel full and satisfied for a long time. The
same goes for good fats. Avoid processed carbohydrates as they often
make you feel hungry.
driven, motivated and passionate to do what i love and that is to provide value and offer something to the world
As human beings, we all have a deep-seated need to believe in something. For some of us it may be our favorite sports team; for others it may be random acts of kindness or the founding principles of our country.
Having our belief system shaken can cause us great mental and emotional anguish, which may explain why we cling so tightly to it. Studying our Bible shows us how powerful faith is, and how dangerous it is to be trapped in unbelief. (Continued below.....)
(...Continued....)We’re familiar with the frustration of trying to explain something that we know is true to a group of skeptics who don’t accept anything we say; it’s just as frustrating to God when people don’t believe His Word. The world operates in the physical realm, and most people only believe what they can physically see, hear, or touch. During His earthly ministry, Jesus constantly fought against this type of thinking. “Jesus told them, ‘A prophet has little honor in his hometown, among his relatives, on the streets he played in as a child.’ Jesus wasn’t able to do much of anything there—he laid hands on a few sick people and healed them, that’s all. He couldn’t get over their stubbornness. He left and made a circuit of the other villages, teaching” (Mark 6:4-6, MSG).
Jesus knew how powerfully a set of beliefs impacted people’s thinking, but He wasn’t afraid to present them with a concept that was foreign to many—letting the spirit of love, truth, and forgiveness rule their thoughts and deeds, instead of the letter of the law. Many were unwilling to let go of the ingrained set of beliefs they had grown up with. Because of their closed-mindedness and hardness of heart, they simply rejected His message. “Notwithstanding they would not hear, but hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, that did not believe in the Lord their God” (2 Kings 17:14).
Jesus let the people choose whether or not they would believe in His authenticity. “When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, ‘Son of David, have mercy on us!’ And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them,
‘Do you believe that I am able to do this?’ They said to Him, ‘Yes, Lord.’ Then He touched their eyes, saying, ‘According to your faith let it be to you.’ And their eyes were opened” (Matthew 9:27-30, NKJV). Others with less faith and trust in Him closed themselves off to His power. When the rich young ruler confronted Jesus, he chose to believe in his own wealth instead of in God’s only Son (Mark 10:17-22).
However, we mustn’t believe everything we see or hear; there are plenty of misguided ideas, mistaken beliefs, and cults in the world. When we believe the wrong thing we can be fooled. “And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie” (2 Thessalonians 2:11). We decipher the truth by comparing it against the Scriptures to determine if it lines up with what is written. “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God” (1 John 4:1, 2). Aligning our beliefs with what God says keeps us safe.
While there has been lots of discussion about half-court actions and offenses like5 Out and Dribble Drive, you also hear a lot of coaches talking about playing with pace.
We know that analytics show the advantages of scoring in transition, but it leaves some unanswered questions coaches face such as
What does pace mean exactly?
How do you teach it?
The pace concept has been linked to a transition offense system known as the 2 Side Break.
Yes, the 2 Side system was used by the Houston Rockets but it can be adopted to all levels of play. You can get layups and 3’s in this system, based on your talent level.
Coaches such as Zak Boisvert have mentioned it in clinic presentations, but nothing has been produced that goes into greater detail.
Thankfully, Brent Tipton has put together a clinic breakdown of this offensive system and is now available here.
2 Side Transition: How To Trigger Offensive Advantage goes into detail discussing
How 2 Side Transition impacts pace
How to go Early and Opposite
How to go Early and Up
When to Dribble Push
How Stretched Spacing Rules create multiple closeouts
One of the biggest advantages of this system is that it allows you to truly play positionless basketball. If you are a 5 Out coach, 2 Side Break is a perfect fit to get you right into your actions.
