Mavericks Sign Free Agent Michael Kidd-Gilchrist

Randy Eastburg is an Arlington, Texas-based entrepreneur who has guided operations at Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction since 2010, during which time the company has grown to achieve annual revenue exceeding $7 million. Outside his professional pursuits, Randy Eastburg is a fan of the National Basketball Association's Dallas Mavericks. In an attempt to bolster its roster in preparation for the playoffs, the Mavericks signed free agent wing Michael Kidd-Gilchrist on February 11.

A 26-year-old native of Philadelphia, Kidd-Gilchrist attended the University of Kentucky and was selected second overall by the Charlotte Bobcats in the 2012 NBA Draft. He spent eight seasons with Charlotte, but was bought out by the team following the 2020 trade deadline.

Through 433 career regular season games with Charlotte, Kidd-Gilchrist averaged 8.6 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game. Kidd-Gilchrist had only four points in 71 minutes off the bench through his first nine games with Dallas, but he wasn't signed by the team for his offensive capabilities. He is primarily known for his defensive acumen, and will provide head coach Rick Carlisle with bench options in the playoffs.

Putting...It All Starts with the Club Face

Randy Eastburg established Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in 2010, and since then he has built his company into a business that performs upward of 60 roof repairs each month. Outside of work, Randy Eastburg is an avid golfer who participates in tournaments on a semi-regular basis.

Putting is one of the most intricate and consequential aspects of one’s golf game. Hitting a par-five green in two strokes, for example, is wasted if the golfer cannot capitalize by sinking the eagle put, or at the very least get the ball close enough for a manageable birdie attempt. There are many elements that go into a good putting stroke, but it all starts with the club face. Skill at reading greens is lost on a golfer who cannot adequately control the trajectory of the ball off the club face in order to hit the line. Even a single degree of error in either direction on a 10-foot putt can cause a two-inch deviation from the intended target. So before trying to become an expert at reading greens or understanding the right speed at which to hit the ball, the first and most important skill to develop is the ability to situate the club face in such a way that the ball actually leaves the club heading in the direction of the line you’ve established. One of the simplest ways to work on aim is by using an alignment stick when putting. By practicing puts beside the stick, one can very quickly see how the ball is launching off of the club face. Too far in one direction and it will hit the stick; too far in the other direction and the ball will veer away from it. Once a golfer can consistently track their puts along the same path as the alignment stick, they can began practicing green reading and other elements of putting.

Tips for Dating Antiques Accurately

After a decade operating a used-car dealership, business owner Randy Eastburg pivoted from a successful career in auto sales to the construction industry. Beyond his role leading Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, Randy Eastburg enjoys antique-shopping with his wife. In order to distinguish between an original antique and a replica, one must be able to determine when a piece was created. Materials, makers' marks, and other design characteristics can help buyers accurately date pieces. Large furniture pieces were made by hand until the 1860s. For this reason, earlier pieces often contain irregularities in drawer bottoms and undersides. Another common sign of an older piece is the use of square-headed, tailor-made screws, which are much less uniform in shape than more modern machine-produced screws. Watermarks can also help buyers date porcelain and china. Dishes and figurines dating from the 20th century will contain terms such as “made in” or “patented.” Words such as “copyright” or “limited” are more commonly found on porcelain pieces dating back to the mid-to-late 19th century. The style and shape of antique pottery can further narrow down the piece's age. For example, rounded teapots first became popular in Europe around the 18th century while landscape scenery on ceramics appeared en masse 100 years earlier.

Add Competitive Angle to Make Basketball Practice More Fun

The founder and owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in Flower Mound, Texas, Randy Eastburg manages overall business strategy as well as the day-to-day work of handling sales and estimates. A committed family man, Randy Eastburg coached his son’s and his daughter’s competitive youth basketball teams, helping lead them to state and even national competitions. Parents who become sports coaches gain an additional way to connect and spend quality time with their children. While practicing drills is important, coaches should focus on making practices fun to keep kids engaged. Adding a competitive aspect to drills is one way to make practice less boring and more useful. Ideas for competitive practice drills include counting points and giving a small prize to the winner, and awarding points for other techniques like steals and ball deflections. Another idea is giving a small award to the team that didn’t drop a pass during practice. Aside from being fun, friendly competition also generally makes kids work harder to improve their skills so they can perform better.

Amari Cooper's Impressive Production since Joining the Cowboys

As owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, Randy Eastburg handles all day-to-day responsibilities, from meeting with commercial property owners and insurance adjusters to hiring and training employees and reviewing the work of subcontractors. A passionate sports fan, Randy Eastburg counts the Dallas Cowboys as his favorite National Football League team. In an effort to bolster their roster for a potential playoff push, the Cowboys acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper from the Oakland Raiders in exchange for a first-round draft pick on October 22. There were concerns about the trade from the Cowboys standpoint, as Cooper, a former first-round pick himself, only had 280 receiving yards and one touchdown through the first six games of the season. However, since the trade, Cooper has been one of the most productive receivers in the NFL, and the Cowboys have won five of their six games with him in the lineup. In those six games, the 24-year-old native of Miami achieved six touchdowns in addition to 40 receptions for 642 yards. He registered his second 10-catch game of the season and recorded a career-best 217 receiving yards during the Cowboys' 29-23 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on December 9.

Strategies for Antique Shopping

Texas-based entrepreneur Randy Eastburg has overseen all commercial projects undertaken by his company, Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, since he launched the business in 2010. In his free time, Randy Eastburg enjoys antique shopping with his wife. Antique shoppers who know what to look for can often buy valuable items at very low prices.

Vintage furniture, decor, and keepsakes can be found not only at antique shops but also at flea markets and secondhand stores. Serious shoppers may even travel to seasonal outdoor markets across the country to find specific types of antiques. - Follow the trends. The value of certain antiques correlates with demand, which can go up because of interior design trends or an increase in interested collectors. Shoppers should keep track of the items that are selling well at auctions and look for these specific objects. - Know what is fixable. Before purchasing an antique for resale, buyers should closely inspect the items for any defects that would render them unusable or worthless. However, good structure or shape should be prioritized over changeable design features, such as color or fabric.

Cowboys Sign Veteran Defensive End Kony Ealy

Based in Flower Mound, Texas, Randy Eastburg is the owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, where he manages sales for the commercial side of the business. When he isn't working, Randy Eastburg enjoys following his favorite National Football League (NFL) team, the Dallas Cowboys. After signing prominent players like Cameron Fleming and Allen Hurns in the 2018 offseason, the Cowboys continued to improve its roster through free agency by signing veteran defensive end, Kony Ealy. A 26-year-old native of Missouri, Ealy was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft and played three seasons with the team before joining the New York Jets in 2017. He has played in 62 career games and has 94 tackles, 15 quarterback sacks, 14 defended passes, and two interceptions. Ealy was actually acquired by the New England Patriots in March 2017 but never played a game with the team as he was released before the start of the season. At the time, the Cowboys submitted a waiver claim on the four-year pro, but so did the Jets, who received the player by virtue of finishing lower in the standings the previous year.

Young Stars Arise in Surprising 2016 Season for Dallas Cowboys

An experienced business leader, Randy Eastburg owns and operates Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction in Flower Mound, Texas. In his free time, Randy Eastburg enjoys attending games of Dallas' professional sports teams, including the Cowboys. In 2016, the Dallas Cowboys followed up a disappointing 2015 campaign with what proved to be one of the most surprising seasons in NFL history. The preseason injury of quarterback Tony Romo led many to believe 2016 would become another lost year. However, with rookie quarterback Dak Prescott at the helm, the Cowboys won 10 of their first 11 games and finished the regular season 13-3, a record that matched the best in franchise history. Their performance in the regular season earned the Cowboys the no. 1 seed in the NFC entering the playoffs. There, they faced the Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers in the divisional round. Although the Cowboys overcame an 18-point second-quarter deficit to tie the game with 35 seconds remaining, the Packers ultimately converted a last-second field goal that ended Dallas’ season. Despite their heartbreaking exit from the playoffs, the Cowboys showed over the course of 2016 to have several young standouts on their roster. These included Prescott, who garnered selection as the Offensive Rookie of the Year and earned a spot in the Pro Bowl. Prescott was joined in the Pro Bowl by fellow rookie Ezekiel Elliott, whose 1,631 regular-season rushing yards also resulted in the running back being named a first-team All-Pro. With this core of young players, as well as several additional Pro Bowl and All-Pro performers, the Cowboys have reason for optimism in the years ahead.

Dallas Stars 1999 Stanley Cup Championship

As the owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, Randy Eastburg is responsible for hiring and training employees as well as meeting with stakeholders throughout a project's completion, including insurance adjusters, architects, and property owners. In his leisure time, Randy Eastburg enjoys attending Dallas Stars games. Formerly the Minnesota North Stars, the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise moved to Dallas in 1993 and six years later won its first Stanley Cup. Led by Joe Nieuwendyk, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs, the Stars scored series victories over the Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, and Colorado Avalanche en route to reaching the Stanley Cup Finals, where they played the Buffalo Sabres. Though the Stars were the favorites given the team's 51-win regular season, the Sabres won game 1 of the series 3-2 in overtime. Dallas won the next two games, but the Sabres evened the series in game 4 with a 2-1 victory. The Stars took a 3-2 series lead with a 2-1 win of their own in game 5, which prefaced one of the most exciting and controversial endings to the Stanley Cup Finals in game 6. Tied at one, the game went into triple-overtime, when Stars' forward Brett Hull shot the puck past a sprawled Dominik Hasek to clinch the series. However, Hull's skate was in the crease, which, a year prior, would have meant the goal would be disallowed. Fortunately for Hull and the Stars, the NHL clarified the crease rule earlier in the season, stating that a player can have his skate in the crease as long as he has control of the puck.

Netflix Series “Making a Murderer” Causes Real-Life Legal Developments

As owner of Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, Randy Eastburg guides an expanding Flower Mound, Texas, firm that coordinates efforts with property owners, insurance adjustors, and subcontractors. Randy Eastburg and his wife enjoy watching true crime shows on television and gravitate toward thrillers at the cinema. One of the most popular Netflix offerings in that sphere is the documentary series Making a Murderer, which focuses on the real life case of Steven Avery and nephew Brendan Dassey, who were convicted in a photographers slaying. This took a surprising twist in court, with well known defense attorney Kathleen Zellner bringing to light advanced forensic analysis, which she claimed proved an Avery DNA plant. In addition, Zellner led efforts to review blood found in the car that was older than it should have been, thus giving plausibility to an evidence plant effort. In addition, a US Magistrate Judge overturned the 2007 conviction of Dassey in August, 2016, citing coercion used in securing the then 16-year-old defendant’s conviction. As with Avery, the ruling is under appeal, with the appellate court recently deciding that Dassey should remain in prison, pending resolution.

Characteristics of the American Quarter Horse

Randy Eastburg owns and operates Valley Ridge Roofing and Construction, where he helped the company grow to generate more than $3 million in gross sales in 2015. A longtime race horse enthusiast, Randy Eastburg formerly owned and bred American Quarter Horses. Dating back to the earliest days of the American colonies, the American Quarter Horse is considered the first native breed in the United States. The American Quarter Horse originated from the breeding of Turk, Arab, and Barb breeds, which first crossed over to the New World in the early 1600s. Over the next few centuries, the American Quarter Horse began showing many of the breed’s trademark characteristics. Early on, the American Quarter Horse displayed a dense musculature ideal for sprints over short distances. In the 20th century, breeders have preserved the heavy muscling of the American Quarter Horse, but have also specialized the breed for performance in the event in question. American Quarter Horses have excelled in competition ranging from dressage and show jumping to roping and barrel racing, making it one of the most versatile breeds. Nevertheless, recreational riding remains the top interest of most American Quarter Horse owners.
