In this episode of Slappin' Glass, we're joined by John Andrzejek, Head Coach at Campbell and former defensive coordinator for Florida's national championship team, for a deep dive into the real trade-offs that shape elite defensive systems.Coach Andrzejek walks us through how his defensive philosophy has evolved across stops at St. Mary's, Columbia, Washington State, Florida, and now Campbell—highlighting the tension every staff must navigate between precision and pragmatism, technique and energy, and staying out of trouble versus thriving inside the scramble.We explore the decision-making behind scrambling vs. anti-scrambling defenses, how and why he blends principles from St. Mary's, Houston, and Iowa State, and what it truly takes to guard the modern, spacing-driven game. The conversation gets deep into the weeds on no-middle principles, switching high and low, tagging schemes in middle pick-and-roll, and organizing rotations when things inevitably break down.Offensively, Coach Andrzejek shares how he teaches cutting around the pick-and-roll through a mix of rules and reads, why simplicity drives better decision-making, and how repetition of core situations builds true situational awareness. We also tackle post-doubling philosophies, personnel adjustments, practice design, and the balance between scouting detail and playing fast.As always, we close with a Start, Sub, or Sit that dives into cutting around the pick-and-roll and post-doubling strategies, plus Coach Andrzejek's thoughts on the best investment he's made in his coaching career.This is a clinic-level conversation on defensive problem-solving, offensive clarity, and building systems that hold up against elite talent.What You'll LearnThe strategic trade-offs between scrambling vs. anti-scrambling defensive systemsHow elite programs blend no-middle principles with modern spacing realitiesWhy playing really hard often matters more than perfect techniqueHow to organize rotations and tags when the ball gets to the middleSwitching high and low to keep the ball out of the paintTeaching cutting around the pick-and-roll using rules that unlock readsWhy offensive simplicity leads to better decision-makingDifferent philosophies for doubling the post and protecting the rimHow practice design, film, and repetition build defensive awarenessThe long-term value of film study and coaching mentorshipTo join coaches and championship winning staffs from the NBA to High School from over 60 different countries taking advantage of an SG Plus membership, visit HERE!
Kick off the Best of 2025 with one of the most intense episodes we released on the Weekly Spooky horror podcast—a brutal winter survival horror story where a long-haul trucker gets trapped at a lonely truck stop after a sudden blizzard buries the world in white.The bathroom run turns into a nightmare when his tracks vanish, the store is locked and dark, and something moves in the storm—something too big, too patient, and too wrong to be a deer. Back in his cab, with fuel running low and the wind battering the doors, the real terror begins: nudges against the truck, glimpses of massive horns, and a towering creature with a skull-like face that keeps reappearing closer… like it's learning him.Glass splinters. The windshield gives. The gunshots don't do what they're supposed to do. And when the only safe place left is beneath his own trailer, he realizes the storm isn't trying to kill him nearly as much as whatever's hiding inside it.If you love cryptid horror, creature features, blizzard horror, and stories about being stranded with a monster, this is a Best of 2025 must-listen.I Was Hunted by a Cryptid in a Snowstorm — by Michael KelsoYou can purchase books from this author here: https://geni.us/michaelkelsoauthorhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Horror_writer_1717/
In this week's Grow Guides we're mixing recovery, maintenance, future planning, and a bit of community housekeeping, the perfect reset episode after the festive chaos. We start with how to take a tolerance break without wrecking your sleep, your mood, or your routine. No monk-level discipline required, just practical ways to reset without suffering for it. Then we get into properly cleaning bongs and glassware after heavy Christmas use. Not the half-hearted rinse everyone does, but the methods that actually remove buildup, smells, and old residue so your gear tastes right again. From there we look ahead to 2026 and talk about which strains are genuinely worth your time now. Less hype, more reality, focusing on stability, quality, and what home growers are actually enjoying growing and consuming. Finally, we explain how to join Percy's Grow Room in 2026 and why it's still different from the rest. What the forum offers, how it works, and why it remains one of the best places online for growers who want real advice without ego or nonsense. A relaxed but useful episode covering reset, refresh, and what's coming next, perfect listening whether you're easing back in or planning your next run. As always, join us on Percy's Grow Room if you want to learn more, get help with your grow, or hang out with thousands of growers just like you. Join our community here:

Classic film noir meets sleazy Italian exploitation this week as Sakana and Dr Ethan drop by to check out The Glass Key (1942), directed by Stuart Heisler, and the magnificently named Strip Nude For Your Killer (1975), directed by Andrea Bianchi. We dive deep into the lives and travails of The Glass Key's wonderful cast (including Alan Ladd, Veronica Lake and Brian Donlevy) and the its striking similarities with Coen brothers' later masterpiece, Miller's Crossing. Then, stay tuned for Ethan, Joe and especially Rob trying hard not to embarrass themselves expressing their... appreciation for Edwige Fenech in Bianchi's lurid giallo. This time, we manage to have a deep discussion without spoiling the plots of either film, so we won't be calling out Spoiler Territory this week. Want to get in touch?

Great moody, almost electroclash esque analog gems. It's been interesting to see Rebotini's music come back around from the rave days through film scores to now without really changing much. No one does the nexus point of French House and EBM quite like him. 9 DJ Plant Texture - Life - Tresor RecordsThe first of two Tresor releases in my top 10, not sure what has been happening over there lately, but I'm here for it. A great weirdo techno 12 inch where opening track Repetitivo (Stretch Mix) sounding like Jeff Mills having eaten too many haribo, before mutating into scattered hats across the dancefloor, perhaps to trip up Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern who have broken into your house for some reason. 8 Autechre - Untilted - Warp Records Now to the first of two reissues in my list, and despite my somewhat negative thoughts as to their quote unquote live show I saw this year, I still love the music and this one in particular stuck out. Approachable but still properly mad. Proof that extreme computer music can be fun. 7 Clark - Steep Stims - Throttle Records I remember when Chris Clark came out with his first record and thinking that it too warp for warp records. I'm pretty sure we never met when I was in Berlin, unless I got him confused with Kid 606, in which case I apologize to you both. Anyway, Steep Stims is great, playful, emotional, one foot in the past and another in the future, really great work that I think will age really well. Solid work Mr Clark. 6 Emptyset - Dissever - Thrill Jockey Records Amazing new record from Emptyset, feels like they took all the lessons from all the later records and applied it to the earlier ones. Beautiful intense grinding drones, like someone built an installation of Sheer Hellish Miasma and I'm somehow in the room with it. 5 Merzbow, Iggor Cavalera, Eraldo Bernocchi - Nocturnal Rainforest - PAN Full disclosure, Iggor sent this to me, but it's been on my repeated listens ever since. Zen-like terror but incredibly dynamic. One of the best noise releases of the year and I'd go as far as to say a career highlight for each of the members. 4 Various Artists - 30 Years Sonic Groove - Sonic Groove Has it really been 30 years of Sonic Groove? Adam X compiles a collection of outstanding producers for this excellent collection of tracks. Highlights include the mutant acid of Bryan Zentz, the incomparable genius of Mike Parker and the industrial brutality of Statiqbloom. 3 Dopplereffekt - Metasymmetry - Tresor The second Tresor release on my list is the mighty Dopplereffekt. Beautiful, futuristic and unmistakably Detroit. Top 3 don't disagree! 2 Maria Somerville - Luster - 4AD Genuinely shocking to hear an artist on 4AD in 2025 that sounds like what an artist on 4AD sounds like in my head and it's great. Melancholic Ambient shoegaze for a new generation. 1 Coil - Black Antlers - Dais Records Black Antlers is not my favorite Coil album, but it is the one I least expected to be reissued as it was originally a tour only CDR that then got expanded. You could argue that it might not count as a proper Coil album, but who has time for these discussions. Some of the best music ever created. Nick (Disfigure; the one on the right in the pic) Favorites: Kommodus - A Foetal Wolf in Stained Glass - Probably my favorite release from Kommodus. Really awesome auxiliary instruments incorporated here and I like the unhinged melodic leads thrown in on a lot of the songs. It has a punkier tinge to it with the guitar tones and the vocals are equally as heavy Fellwinter - Dark Mediaeval Art - Pure riff-centric Judas Iscariot worship Magus Lord - In The Company of Champions - Epic in every way. I liked this better than the Lamp record this year but M has been writing fantastic black metal for a while and this side project is really refreshing to follow Ultimate Disaster - For Progress . . . - Perfectly written D-Beat in my opinion. Very tight songwriting and the riffs and solos are so well executed Valen - Viarum - I'm a huge Thangorodrim fan and this project has reminded me most of that. This was my go-to Dungeon Synth for some epic game nights this year Enceladus - Demo II - Another great release from this project. I love the half time parts, the more death metal sounding vocals, and just the ferocity of the songs while still being melodic Iron Firmament - Arcane Overspill - Amazing black metal from Washington, a state known for churning out amazing black metal for over two decades. I really love the production on this release, especially the interludes. This band writes amazing riffs and this has been a standout for me in their already exceptional discography Sharp Pins - Balloon Balloon Balloon - I love Power pop, I love Guided By Voices and Sharp Pins delivers on all fronts Occult Blood/Carrion Bloom - Battle Cries of Endless Night - Both sides of this split are fantastic. Put out by Wergild who can't miss lately with their bands/releases Utility - S/T - The hometown heroes! The whole release but especially the first song reminds me so much of Fired Up, one of my favorite CT hardcore bands of all time. Great songwriting and also absolutely on point with the energy and vocals. The demo before this is fantastic as well The Redscroll Podcast is a monthly show (first of the month going forward) that works as a companion to what we do at Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT USA.

It is time to return to Mid-World in this final Kingcast episode of 2025 as indie horror star Graham Skipper (Re-Animator: The Musical, Almost Human, Beyond the Gates) joins Breznican and Vespe to discuss the fourth book in Stephen King's Dark Tower series: Wizard and Glass. We break down the plot, underline how it weirdly mirrors the plot that George Lucas would later use for The Phantom Menace, and take a deep dive into how this book really plays to King's strength at mixing intricate character work and unbelievable world-building.
Einon's Journal Summary: As the frozen core began to melt, we sprang into action to analyze its ancient workings. Maxine attempted her magical repair on a scale we haven't yet seen. Kade was forced to gauge the necessary levels of balance between the original workings, and the newer Clockwinder additions. I was forced to threaten a pirate. All told, it was an awful lot of fun. ------ Content Warning: Language ------ You can support The Critshow through our Patreon to get more weekly TTRPG Actual Play content, access to our discord community, and much more!

Jeralyn Glass is an international opera star turned sound healer. Her new book Sacred Vibrations: The Transformative Power of Crystalline Sound and Music is available now. Drawing the attention of Gwyneth Paltrow, Jhené Aiko, and SZA, Jeralyn has become one of the foremost leaders in the world of holistic healing through Music as Medicine and now the publication of her highly anticipated book. Glass, a world-class musician, knows why music isn't just an art form, it is the universal language soothing our souls, healing our wounds, and uplifting our spirits. More than mere melodies, music is a potent medicine transcending barriers, offering solace, inspiration, and profound healing connecting us as one. When tragedy hit hard and Glass lost her only child, a 19 year old son, crystal healing bowls were part of her soothing balm. She's now at the forefront as one of the most revered originators of sound healing that is circling the globe transforming our hearts amidst chaos. Glass also takes her sound healing into the world of Cancer patients and has seen profound effects. Heather and Jeralyn discuss why sound vibration is sought after and how our listeners can incorporate healing music into their daily lives, and so much more. Jeralyn even gives us a taste of the sound bowl experience towards the end of the episode. Jeralyn's new app can be found here https://www.jeralynglass.com/mobile-app. You can download the app, get help, meditations, yoga, and much more.

In this episode, we tackle Heir of Fire Chapters 50–56, the emotional and narrative crucible of the novel. Where power is consumed, identity is stripped bare, and Aelin Galathynius finally rises from the ashes of who she was forced to become. Mistward stands alone when Wendlyn is unable to send reinforcements, leaving Celaena and Rowan scrambling to fortify the fortress. But their plans crumble when traitors open the way for Norrak's army. Under the cover of darkness, the Valg princes strike from the front while mortal soldiers access the tunnel beneath the walls, plunging Mistward into chaos. Celaena faces the Valg princes alone as Rowan and the Cadre battle inside the fortress. Overpowered and dragged into her own memories, Celaena is forced to relive the two horrific days she's buried for years. But by finally confronting her past, she unleashes the full fire of her heritage, claiming her name, Aelin Galathynius, and obliterating the Valg in a blaze that changes the war forever. At the heart of the episode is the book's most powerful revelation: Aelin does not need to be saved. By confronting her past self — the unscarred girl she left behind — she claims her name, her power, and her worth. What rises from the fire is not Celaena Sardothien atoning through destruction, but Aelin Galathynius wielding light instead of self-loathing. We also break down Rowan and Aelin's carranam bond, the symbolism of blood shared over old wounds, and why this claiming is about friendship, not romance — a turning point that reframes strength as something shared, not endured alone. Finally, we close in Rifthold, where Dorian's growing magic and quiet resolve force Chaol (and the reader) to reconsider what a king truly looks like.

In a quiet Manchester bedroom, the shifting of glass across carpet signals something far from explainable—and far too close for comfort.Two stories. Two very different places. But both raise the same chilling question: what happens when the ordinary turns to otherworldly, and no one else is around to see it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Super Sized Special Holiday Episode of The Dirty Glass PodcastWhat happens after Christmas, when the sleigh is parked, the reindeer are fed, and Santa finally gets a minute to himself?
In this special Best Of episode of Home in Progress, sponsored by RepcoLite Paints and Benjamin Moore, Dan Hansen shares a handful of favorite segments from the past year—perfect for the holiday stretch when you're tackling projects, relaxing at home, or doing a little of both.The show opens with some weekend chatter (including a nostalgic roller-skating detour sparked by Back to the Future), then into a paint-heavy segment aimed at a classic homeowner problem: how to make a small room feel bigger without remodeling. He breaks down five practical paint strategies, including smart color choices, monochromatic palettes, and “color drenching,” plus a couple of visual tricks that add height and depth.The second half of the show takes a surprisingly fascinating turn into the history of glass—from natural obsidian to early glassmaking legends, Roman breakthroughs like glass blowing and early window panes, and the evolution to modern insulated windows. Dan wraps the episode with a rapid-fire guide to common window issues—drafts, condensation, fog between panes, and windows that won't operate smoothly—along with realistic fixes and when it's time to call in a pro.Episode Summary00:00 — Best Of kickoff + holiday-week programming00:16 — Weekend plans and roller-skating nostalgia02:09 — New Year's resolutions, “Quitter's Day,” and the mindset reset03:32 — A funny “height hack” detour (and why it secretly sets up the paint point)12:45 — Paint Point: 5 ways to make a small room feel larger17:39 — Two-toned walls and eye-trick design strategies18:30 — Listener emails + how to send topic ideas18:56 — The history of glass: discovery, invention, and innovation20:25 — From early glassmaking to Roman windows26:09 — Industrial-era improvements and modern window evolution30:38 — Window problems homeowners actually deal with (and what to do)39:36 — Wrap-up, where to find the episode, and next week's preview

Teachhoops.com In this episode, we tackle the strategic debate that divides many coaching staffs: the balance between crashing the offensive glass and getting back on defense. We analyze the risk-reward ratio of offensive rebounding in high school basketball, discussing why the NBA "get back" analytics don't always apply to the varsity level where shooting percentages are lower and second-chance points are often the difference-maker. We explore different philosophies, such as sending three to the glass while two protect, and how to designate roles so your players aren't caught in "no man's land." We move from philosophy to technique, breaking down how to actually teach rebounding as a skill rather than just an effort play. We discuss the importance of "weak side" positioning, reading the flight of the ball, and using swim moves or spins to escape box-outs. We also share specific drills that simulate game-like chaos, forcing players to pursue the ball relentlessly while maintaining the discipline to locate it at its highest point. If you are tired of watching shots go up and seeing your team stand still, this segment offers the technical fixes you need. Finally, we open up the "TeachHoops Mailbag" to answer some of the most pressing questions coming from our community of coaches. We cover a range of topics submitted by members, including how to handle mid-season parent meetings, quick hitters for zone offenses, and managing player rotations during tight games. This segment is all about real-world problem solving, offering direct, actionable advice on the hurdles you are facing right now. Whether you are a veteran or a first-year head coach, these answers will help you navigate the day-to-day grind of the season.

After a summer of diversion and detour, we're back with the main Ka-Tet for Christmas. What better time for a tale of heartbreak, lost love, and cabin-bound masturbation. Yes, we're covering Wizard & Glass. Some would call this the high point of the Dark Tower series (for me, it's certainly up there) – and it gives us chance to talk in depth about how Roland became the man is he, and how love made us the men we are! Yeah… if you're ready for 2+ hours of middle-aged male nostalgia and dick jokes, this is the episode for you. Thankfully, it also offers literary analysis, Stephen King lore, and the greatest love of all, between a witch and her snake. Enjoy.

Xmas Special: Why project management tools fail software development - and what works instead! In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into The Project Management Trap, continuing our exploration from Episode 1 where we established that software is societal infrastructure being managed with tools from the 1800s. We examine why project management frameworks - designed for building railroads and ships - are fundamentally misaligned with software development, and what happens when we treat living capabilities like construction projects with defined endpoints. The Origin Story - Where Project Management Came From "The problem isn't that project management is bad. The problem is that software isn't building a railroad or a building, or setting up a process that will run forever (like a factory)." Project management emerged from industries with hard physical constraints - building the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s, coordinating factory machinery, managing finite and expensive materials. The Gantt chart, invented in the 1910s for factory scheduling, worked brilliantly for coordinating massive undertakings with calculable physics, irreversible decisions, and clear completion points. When the rails met, you were done. When the bridge was built, the project ended. These tools gave us remarkable precision for building ships, bridges, factories, and highways. But software operates in a completely different reality - one where the raw materials are time and brainpower, not minerals and hardware, and where the transformation happens in unique creative moments rather than repeated mechanical movements. The Seductive Clarity Of Project Management Artifacts "In software, we almost never know either of those things with certainty." Project management is tempting for software leaders because it offers comforting certainty. Gantt charts show every task laid out, milestones mark clear progress, "percent complete" gives us a number, and a defined "done" promises relief. The typical software project kickoff breaks down into neat phases: requirements gathering (6 weeks), design (4 weeks), development (16 weeks), testing (4 weeks), deployment (2 weeks) - total 32 weeks, done by Q3. Leadership loves this. Finance can budget it. Everyone can plan around it. But this is false precision. Software isn't pouring concrete where you measure twice and pour once. Every line of code is a hypothesis about what users need and how the system should behave. That 32-week plan assumes we know exactly what to build and exactly how long each piece takes - assumptions that are almost never true in software development. The Completion Illusion "Software products succeed by evolving. Projects end; products adapt." "Done" is the wrong goal for living software. We expand on the Slack story from Episode 1 to illustrate this point. If Slack's team had thought in project terms in 2013, they might have built a functional tool with channels, direct messages, file sharing, and search - shipped on time and on budget by Q2 2014, project complete. But that wasn't the end; it was the beginning. Through continuous user feedback and evolution, Slack added threaded conversations (2017), audio/video calls (2016), workflow automation (2019), and Canvas for knowledge management (2023). Each wasn't maintenance or bug fixing - these were fundamental enhancements. Glass's research shows that 60% of maintenance costs are enhancements, not fixes. By 2021, when Salesforce acquired Slack for $27.7 billion, it bore little resemblance to the 2014 version. The value wasn't in that initial "project" - it was in the continuous evolution. If they'd thought "build it, ship it, done," Slack would have died competing against HipChat and Campfire. When Projects Succeed (Well, Some Do, Anyway) But Software Fails "They tried to succeed at project management. They ended up failing at both software delivery AND project management!" Vasco references his article "The Software Crisis is Real," examining five distinct cases from five different countries that represent what's wrong with project thinking for software. These projects tried hard to do everything right by project management standards: detailed requirements (thousands of pages), milestone tracking, contractor coordination, hitting fixed deadlines, and proper auditing. What they didn't have was iterative delivery to test with real users early, feedback loops to discover problems incrementally, adaptability to change based on learning, or a "living capability" mindset. Project thinking demanded: get all requirements right upfront (otherwise no funding), build it all, test at the end, launch on deadline. Software thinking demands: launch something minimal early, get real user feedback, iterate rapidly, evolve the capability. These projects succeeded at following project management rules but failed at delivering valuable software. What Software-Native Delivery Management Looks Like "Software is unpredictable not because we're bad at planning - it's unpredictable because we're creating novel solutions to complex problems, and in a completely different economic system." If not projects, then what? Vasco has been exploring this question for years, since publishing the NoEstimates book. The answer starts with thinking in products and capabilities, not projects - recognizing that products have ongoing evolution, capabilities are cultivated and improved rather than "delivered" and done, and value is measured in outcomes rather than task completion. Instead of comprehensive planning, we need iteration and constant decision-making based on validated hypotheses: start with "We believe users need X," run experiments by building small and testing with real users, then learn and adapt. Instead of fixed scope, define the problem (not the solution), allow the solution to evolve as you learn, and optimize for learning speed rather than task completion. The contrast is clear: project thinking says "We will build features A, B, C, D, and E by Q3, then we're done." Software-native thinking says "We're solving problem X for users. We'll start with the riskiest hypothesis, build a minimal version, ship it to 100 users next week, and learn whether we're on the right track." The appropriate response to software's inherent unpredictability isn't better planning - it's faster learning.

"Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering" - Fact 42: "Enhancement is responsible for roughly 60 percent of software maintenance costs. Error correction is roughly 17 percent. Therefore, software maintenance is largely about adding new capability to old software, not fixing it."

Hunting for the elusive, Japanese glass fishing floats. Summary: Fishermen around the world use floats of some kind to keep their nets suspended in the ocean. Originally, floats were often wood or cork. Today, they are frequently made of plastic or styrofoam. The choice of material depends on where you are. We think the most attractive floats are made of glass. No longer in production, the last glass fishing floats were made in Japan in the 1970s. When nets get lost or washed onto reefs, the floats continue their journey. We've been hunting for glass floats since we cruised with our kids in 2009-2010 after getting hooked on the search by friends. Now that we're in French Polynesia, the search continues. We see them decorating homes, which means that a particular atoll (perhaps due to currents and prevailing winds) is a likely place to find them. We found more in Takaroa, the farthest north inhabited atoll of the Tuamotus, than anywhere else. Would we be lucky there as well? To learn more details of our search and to discover if we ever found a glass float of our own, listen to the complete podcast or check out Takaroa Treasures (https://www.fit2sail.com/countdown-to-cruising/2025/9/8/takaroa-treasures-atoll-6).

In This Hour:-- After years of resisting, Tom finally broke down and ordered a custom pistol. The 45 from Cylinder & Slide exceeded his expectations.-- It turns out that the side windows on late-model cars are laminated, and you can't break them out with your emergency glass breaker.-- Is a custom-made gun "worth it?" It depends, but that last 10% of improvement can cost 100% more.Gun Tallk 12.21.25 After ShowBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/gun-talk--6185159/support.
Single Estate whiskies are made from grain grown at or close to a distillery, and there's a new coalition of distillers joined by the University of Kentucky to promote so-called "estate whiskies." The Estate Whiskey Alliance is made up of farm distilleries all the way up to Maker's Mark, which is growing all of the grain for its Star Hill Farm whiskies on-site. We'll talk with leaders of the Alliance on this week's WhiskyCast In-Depth. In the news, the Jim Beam Distillery in Kentucky will be shut down for all of 2026, leaving some distillery workers in doubt about their jobs heading into the holidays.
Author: Sean RileyWe are enjoying tangent conversation until : "19:18" where the discussion/review starts.This episode was meant to be fun, relaxed, and conversational rather than a full, detailed content review. We stepped a bit outside our usual format and leaned into opinion, reflection, and discussion. If you're looking for deep research or an in-depth breakdown of tribal camps and gifts, this episode isn't focused on that side of the material. Instead, we wanted to explore ideas, impressions, and long-term perspectives.As always, thank you for listening, and we hope you enjoy the conversation.Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/25YearsOfVtM
