Problem: Article: Your shooting leg should be rising at the same time with the shooting arm. While leaning on your non-shooting foot, bring the other leg up to give you enough lift so you can shoot the basket over the defendant. If you decide to jump off with one foot (left foot for a right-handed shot or vice versa), then try to bring your free leg up, knee bent and towards you to protect yourself from advancing defenders. The hook shot is one-handed, so you will have one arm making the shot with the other defending your stance against the opponent. Before making the shot, your shooting elbow should be firmly locked in position while your shooting arm raises up to create a 45 degree angle in relation to your elbow.  Thrust your shooting arm upwards and over your head while flicking your wrist and letting the ball release from your fingertips. This arm serves an equally crucial purpose as you keep the defender at a distance in order to give your shooting arm the stability it needs to make the shot. However, make sure you do not foul and push the defender out of the way or onto the ground. Your non-shooting arm should serve the dual purpose of giving you balance and momentary safety from any opponents. Fully flex it at the elbow while keeping it in firmly in front of your body.
Summary: Jump up. Release the ball. Use your non-shooting arm strategically.

Problem: Article: Survey your yard and decide where your driveway should be. Also, decide if you want a parking area or a circular driveway.  Remember that a larger driveway will be more expensive than a smaller one. Watch for any drainage issues in the area where the driveway will be. It is important to position your driveway so that the water will run off the sides and not pool in the middle of it. You may delineate your driveway area with landscaping timber or bricks. This is optional. You will need to mark off the area of your new driveway before starting the driveway project.  Place sticks or landscape stakes in the ground every 8 to 10 feet along the length of one side of the area that will be your driveway. Place  a second set of stakes at least 10 to 12 feet across from the first set of stakes to mark the width of the driveway.  You may want to make the width 14 feet if your driveway curves. You will need to know the length and width of your entire driveway.  If your driveway curves, you might want to measure in sections and add them together instead of trying to measure all at once. For a really stable driveway, experts recommend laying three separate layers of different sizes of stone.  This will take extra money and planning, so you need to decide early if this is the type of driveway you want. Laying a gravel driveway yourself, even if it is fairly short in length, will require time and physically intense labor.  If you are physically unable to do heavy lifting and repetitive work (such as raking the gravel), you may need to hire someone to help you.
Summary: Decide where to put your driveway. Decide if you want to add a border for the driveway. Mark the new driveway area. Measure the area of the intended driveway. Consider laying two to three layers of gravel. Determine how much of the work you can realistically do yourself.

Problem: Article: Monofilament lines are single-stand lines that have quite a bit of stretch. The stretch adds to the flexibility of the line, helping the hook to stay secured in the fishes mouth. Mono lines also do well if you’re using a jig or live-bait. These lines work very well because they are harder for fish to see underwater. Although they are similar to monofilament lines, they have less stretch and hold up better to abrasion. This line is also more reactive to light bites and bottom contact. Fluorocarbon lines are considered a type of monofilament line, so they are also great for fishing with jigs, live-bait, or in crystal clear waters. Braided lines are comprised of several lengths of braided synthetic material to create one line, which makes it great for creating a larger casting distance. This line provides better breaking strength and won’t stretch.  The line is visible and it floats well, so be selective when using it. Because it sinks slowly, it goes great when using top-water baits.
Summary: Use a monofilament line if you’ll be fishing with floating baits. Pick fluorocarbon lines if you’ll be fishing in calm, shallow waters. Choose braided lines if you’re bottom fishing.

Problem: Article: Cut your fuchsias back so they are contained in their area. Any plants that crowd together will compete for sunlight and resources, making them grow less efficiently. The end of each new branch will continue to grow outwards if left on your fuchsia. Make your cut above the knobby spots on the stem where leaves grow on the stem, otherwise known as a node.  Flowering will be delayed until later in the season, but your fuchsia will produce more flowers for a longer amount of time. Long branches will get heavy with leaves and flowers and could break under strong winds. Leaf nodes will split into 2 or 3 individual branches that produce more flowers when they're cut back. Count up from the main stem to the second or third node with 2 leaves and make your cut. The leaves on each node will grow on the opposite side of one another. This makes new branches spread out. Remove any spindly branches growing inside the shrub. This helps the air flow through the plant and prevents fungal disease. Keep hedges clean and shaped. Use a larger pair of hedge shears to cut a large area in a short amount of time.
Summary:
Remove any branches that interfere with other plants. Prune the growing tip on stems to promote branching. Cut above nodes that have 2 leaves. Trim fuchsia hedges to a uniform height and width.
