A sinker is essentially a fastball with a slight twist at the end, so you should stand in a normal pitching stance. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart, keeping your knees bent and upper body relaxed. Line your body up with the batter, so that your non-throwing arm is pointed toward the batting plate. Make sure the ball and your grip on it are hidden until you wind up to throw it. Seeing your grip may tip the batter off and take away the surprise needed for an effective sinker. The sinker should look like it'll be an easier ball to hit until the last second when it begins to quickly drop toward the ground. Aim at the batter's waist or belt area when throwing the ball to give it enough room to sink without hitting the ground. As with any pitch, try not to make it obvious where you're aiming the ball. This can cause you to end up feeding the batter an easy run. Take a small step to the side and shift your weight onto your back foot as you bring your front knee up for balance. Quickly lean forward, transferring your weight from the back leg onto your front leg as you shift toward the batter. Pivoting your torso and following through with your chest will give your pitch a lot more power. As you go to throw the ball, pivot so that your torso faces the batter. Keep your eyes locked on your target as you release the ball and follow through.

Summary: Stand in a normal pitching stance. Aim for the batter's belt. Start winding up. Pivot your torso toward the batter.

Typical/normal points are those extending from the top of the main beam. Abnormal points can extend from the main beam near the burr. This should be fairly easy and short unless your deer's antlers are extremely abnormal. The Boone and Crockett Club scoring sheet has places for up to seven points, although few deer will have that many. Repeat with the points on the left antler. Each point will have a separate box in which to write the measurement.

Summary: Distinguish the normal points from abnormal points. Total up the lengths from base to tip of each abnormal point on the right antler and on the left antler. Measure each normal point on the right antler.

On the envelope write: The Reverend Father first name, middle initial, last name or The Reverend first name, middle initial, last name. Don't forget the word The. Example: "The Reverend Father John W. Butler." The salutation should be Dear Father. To be even more polite, refer to a priest as His Reverence. If it's a very formal letter, say, "The Reverend Father last name as the salutation or Dear Reverend Father." If you know the priest well, it's either "Dear Father or Dear Father last name."Conclude the letter: "Respectfully yours in Christ, your name."You could also end the letter: "Respectfully yours in Christ, your name." On the envelope, write, "Rev. first name, middle initial, and last name," adding letters designating his Order. The key difference here is to add the initials of the religious order community, as in,"The Reverend first name last name, O.F.M. or The Reverend Father first name last name, O.F.M." Example: "The Reverend Father Leo F. McKenzie, S.J." In the example, SJ refers to (The Society of Jesus). The salutation should say: "Dear Father." Conclude the letter: "Respectfully yours in Christ, your name."

Summary: Address a letter to a secular priest. Address a letter to a religious order priest.

Brainstorm all of the swear words you use, and make notes on when you use them (when joking with friends, when you are angry, when you stub your toe, etc.). Knowing how and when you swear is the first step in figuring out inoffensive replacements. For instance, you might be able to identify your number one swear word, and start by replacing just that one. Think about both when and why you swear. Do you swear to impress friends? Out of habit? Because other people around you do? You might be interested in limiting or eliminating your swearing in certain contexts, such as when you are at school or work. However, you might be fine with swearing in other contexts, such as when you are at home or hanging out with friends. When trying to replace swear words with inoffensive alternatives, you might first try to replace them in only one context, before moving on to others. You can help yourself consistently replace swear words with inoffensive alternatives if you reward yourself when you are successful. You can try a positive reward system. For instance, you can buy yourself a new pair of shoes if you make it through a week of replacing swear words. You could also try a negative motivator. For instance, you can make yourself put a dollar in a jar each time you use a swear word. Sometimes, swear words are used in ways that are far different that their actual meaning. Start thinking about what you are really trying to say when you swear, so that you can develop a list of good alternatives. For instance, the "B" word technically means "female dog," while the "A" word means donkey, and the "D" word means wishing one person to an evil place, yet all of these words convey very different meanings when used as swear words. Sometimes, swear words are used when a more precise word or phrase could be used to express a thought or feeling. For instance "This exam really f***ed me over" doesn't really say much, while "I didn't do well on this exam because I hadn't studied enough for the section on thermal dynamics" is much more specific.
Summary: Make notes on how you swear. Think about where you can and cannot swear. Consider using a reward system to motivate yourself. Think about what you are trying to say when you swear.
