The Golden State Warriors have signed local-star and NBA Summer League phenom Jeremy Lin to a multi-year deal. This is absolutely a legend for the 21 years old guy.
As an Asian Americans, Lin gets quite a lot strengths which also makes him feel aspiring about his NBA career. "I think my style of play fits better in the NBA game," Lin said. "It`s a little more up and down. (Summer League) has been a great experience. The more I went through the process the more I gained confidence that I could play at this level and now I`m confident I can play here and I know I belong. It`s a matter of proving it now."
Previously, Lin played four years at Harvard where he became one of the Ivy League’s best players ever.Deceptively quick and athletic, noticeably has a quick first step, has nice touch around basket, very crafty with the ball, excellent at changing direction, Lin sees a lane and takes it and he's not afraid to get fouled, Can adjust his body and shot in mid air, absorbs contact well, Uses on-ball screens very well with an ability to explode to the hoop, solid handle, above average crossover and shows the ability to split double teams with ease, Can get in the paint and make plays for others, Plays solid off-ball defense, ability to see man and ball, Great awareness and reaction time, Very effective in transition, Good lateral movement when playing man to man perimeter defense and high awareness when playing help defense, Has decent strength with long, solidly built arms, Works hard at his game, Has shown the ability to step up in big games and make clutch plays (hit a game winner to open the season) ... All this strong points makes Jeremy Lin different and be destined for his legend.
But the history has a profound lesson, all the Asian Americans ever to play in the NBA had not a smooth career. From Wataru Misaka, Raymond Townsend, Corey Gaines, Rex Walters to Robert Swift, discrimination was full of their sports career. Just like Lin`s coach said in his high school time, even if you played well, as an Asian Americans you still needed to be patient.
Thank the Dallas for that costful chance to let Jeremy play in the NBA summer league and therefor we start to know this shy guy who`s already famous during his university time. We can also learn that Lin is quite interested in some TEC stuff, like transmitter. A real big boy, and we like to know more things about his life, his playing transmitter time. As a new fans, i`d like to wish he can roll his hoop in the first season of NBA.

Baseball Tips on Hitting: Focusing On Just This One Thing May Lead To Your Success!
To try to think of the 35 things necessary for a perfect baseball swing is absurd. If you are struggling at the plate, try doing this relatively easy thing.
Wouldn't it be great if in order to be a very successful hitter you were only required to do one simple thing. Guess what? There is only one thing for you to do to be successful at the plate.
That one thing is to consistently get the "sweet spot" of the bat on the baseball. The point here is that you can break every rule in baseball hitting, but if you can consistently get the good part of the bat on the ball, you will be extremely successful. Don't make baseball hitting more complicated than it is!
Obviously, I am a big believer in doing things properly anywhere on the baseball field and my hundreds of articles reflect just that. But, on the other hand, I am well aware that when it's all said and done, the batter who can frequently get the "sweet spot" of the bat on the baseball will have the most success no matter how many things he is doing improperly at the plate. Sometimes baseball tips on hitting are overdone and quite often "less is more." Baseball hitters are often overwhelmed and should keep it very simple and only focus on a few things that must be done properly.
It simply does not matter how you get the good part of the bat to the baseball as long as you get it there. Bat companies spend millions of dollars on testing and researching the "sweet spot" of the bat. For a moment, let's forget the dozens of baseball tips on hitting. You can have the worst swing on your team, you can have the weakest swing on your team, you can lunge at the ball, you can be off balance, etc. Focus on getting the sweet spot of the bat on the baseball and the rest will take care of itself.
Let's say you are a younger baseball player and feel like almost all the hitters on your team are way ahead of you in natural ability as well as baseball hitting knowledge. Your only focus should be on getting the "sweet spot" of the bat on the ball. It's the greatest neutralizer in the world and will even out the playing field immediately.
Let the "sweet spot" do all the work for you. Your swing does not have to be as powerful as the other players. You do not have to have their knowledge of baseball hitting. Younger players in particular, very often swing too hard at pitches and quite often come up empty and do not even make any contact at all.
One of the better baseball tips on hitting to remember is that if your swing is so weak that it couldn't crush a grape but you can fairly consistently get the good part of the bat on the ball, trust me, you will be a better than average baseball hitter. Nobody will ever notice how weak you swung at the pitch or how you are lacking in proper baseball hitting fundamentals. What they will notice is the hard line drive coming off your bat.
If you are struggling, give this a try and there is a strong possibility you will be very pleasantly surprised with the results. Avoid over swinging and simply focus on getting the good part of the bat on the baseball!

Probably one of the biggest
Probably one of the biggest most dangerous problems of imported foreign fish is the mixing of slightly differently adapted carp immune systems and carp bloodlines etc, naturally developed in response to various conditions, diseases and parasites etc. We all know about the koi herpes virus and spring veremia; which have tragically killed many carp, both imported and more recently indigenous to UK lakes; but other threats exist too of course now!
Much comes down to your personal reference points and opinions in regards as to when exactly does a carp count as an English carp! Perhaps if a carp is imported as a fingerling (as were many of this country’s biggest carp,) or maybe when their progeny reach adulthood, perhaps then you might consider that these qualify as English fish? If I remember correctly the fish in Redmire came from Polish parents bred in Holland, so strictly speaking Richard Walker’s record fish and Chris Yates record fish were Eastern Europeans with a Dutch accent!
We may moan about Romanian immigrants eating our carp but then the major source of protein in Galicia and surrounding regions are carp. As we have no indigenous carp at all as they all have been imported right from Roman and medieval times etc there are no absolute true English carp just as there are no true English rabbits!
Maybe you think the only true English carp might be considered to be the original wild carp but I think it was the Romans who introduced these or at least monks from the continent over time. The irony is that these fish are notoriously slow-growing and attain very low weights compared to other strains. To catch even a high double-figure truly wild carp would be a fantastic feat – if you could actually find any of this weight and verify that they are pure-strain that is! How many more UK records will be nullified because the fish claimed as records are not pure bred strains?
Anyway, the arguments continue, but inspected legal foreign carp are in the modern carp fishing system and here to stay today just as they have been since the last forty years and more. And few anglers realise how much corruption of fisheries and carp blood lines has taken place over the decades due to foreign fish. Just a few of the big carp most of us know of by name are not necessarily fully English (if you get my meaning!)
There have even been cases of un-certificated fish movements within the UK that have involved English fish where the big name angler involved has actually been paid damages from winning a court case against a fishing paper. This is a case where in truth they really did do what they were accused of but there was a lack of evidence!
It is a fact that even clean certificated foreign fish (as well as English fish) can still pass certification but carry unknown factors which can kill our naturalised indigenous fish because the scientists do not know enough about them yet in order to identify them!
Considering it can take a carp over 30 years to realise its potential as a sport fish and such a fish can be lost in an instant, importation whether legal or not is something every carp angler has great reason to be concerned about, but the same applies to risks involved even in moving fish from one English lake right next door to another! But having said that, carp are an incredibly adaptive species and fish wipe-outs frequently safely leave alone those more resilient individual fish which are naturally far more immune to various threats.
Often seemingly minor genetic changes and mutations that turn out to be highly beneficial occur in humans and carp all the time; after all what are koi carp, ghost carp, goldfish and mirror and leather carp (and all king carp) after all but natural and artificially induced crosses - and mutations! Revealed in my unique readymade bait and homemade bait carp and catfish bait secrets ebooks is far more powerful information look up my unique website (Baitbigfish) and see my biography below for details of my ebooks deals right now!

Paintball Gains Popularity
The sport of paintball continues to see an increase in popularity. In the sport, players compete in teams or individually to illuminate their opponents by shooting a colored capsule. These capsules are made from mineral oils and are non-toxic and biodegradable.
Typically players are equipped with similar items. In an organized setting, players are required to wear protective masks. These paintball masks are required to be worn at all times in the field. Although the paintballs are made from biodegradable oils, the balls are somewhat hard and can cause injury to the eyes or face. A regulation mask must completely cover the eyes, nose and mouth. The paintball gun, which is also known as a paintball marker, is the main equipment. Each marker may have an attached hopper in which the ammunition is fed. The marker uses a blast of compressed air to propel the projectile, which means an air bottle is also attached. Other paintball accessories include specialized clothing and pads.
Enthusiasts play the sport in a variety of places. In some cases the game is played on private property where individual players track each other. But most commonly, the game is played in an organized course. These are either indoors or outdoors. In these settings, a variety of different paintball games can be incorporated.
The rules must be specified before each game begins. Under the most basic scenario, one team of players will try to accomplish a mission without being hit by paintballs fired from the other team. If a player is hit by a paintball, the player is removed from the game in most cases. In some cases, teams may exchange players that have been shot to extend the game. The game strategy can also include capturing prisoners of the other team. The game usually ends when one team surrenders, all of its players have been captured or eliminated, or the opposing team has reached its objective such as capturing a flag.
In organized games, a referee is chosen to enforce the rules. However, because the nature of the game, players operate under an honor system. These rules often include limits on the number of shots taken at a particular player, where on an opposing player's body those shots can land, and the minimum distance between a player firing upon another. Players who are hit by a paintball are expected not to wipe the paint away in an attempt to stay in the game.
In many areas, the sports popularity has created leagues. Multiple teams compete in a round robin competition. Eventually, the top two teams will compete in a final paintball battle. Teams sometimes also earn points by competing in side competitions such as marksmanship.

Paintball Safety Makes the Game More Fun
Paintball is growing sport not only in North America, but also the world. In North America alone, it is not uncommon to see organizations sponsoring a paintball competition or event. The beauty of the game is that people can play it casually or take it seriously. It’s all up to the player.
Although paintball guns are designed to shoot only paintballs, it is no means free from all danger. When everyone follows the rules and wears basic protective gear, the fun aspect of the game is maintained. It is vital that players remember and maintain safety practices at all times, especially during the times of a heated battle, where people are more prone to get carried away. This could be from the paintball guns being used, to the equipment being worn. Ethics and good sportsmanship are also a must to keep the games clean and fun.
If a player is in the playing field, it is important that he or she has protective gear on at all times. A facemask is required to protect the head and face, and for body protection, pads on the knees, chest and elbows. Rubber sole shoes are the best option for feet, and rubber gloves on the hands is also preferable.
Make sure paintball guns fire within the bounds of maximum velocity, inspection before every match is the way to do it. Participants can be seriously injured if the balls travel more than 300 feet per second, be sure that every gun does not exceed that.
Accidents can happen in the staging area simply because participants were tinkering with their guns, and accidentally misfired. A simple barrel plug can prevent such accidents. It is advisable that barrel plugs should be inserted before and at the end of every match to keep the paintball marker from firing when the game is not being played.
During a battle, dirt, paint or sweat could obstruct the facemask vision. Players should not take off the mask without the referee being called. This is to make sure that no shooting can be done while the mask is being cleaned. After it is clean and mounted back on the player’s face, the battle can resume. On cases where a facemask is accidentally taken off, the same rules apply.
In the battle zone, the only valid activity that one competitor can do to another player is shooting paint to eliminate them. Even then, a competitor can opt to surrender for a situation where being eliminated is inevitable. If so, no shooting is necessary. This game is intended to be fun for all participants; this means that striking or aggressive body contact between players is not allowed. Cursing on the playing field is ill-advised, unless all players agree that cursing is allowable.

The latest Adidas football boots
Without a doubt, Adidas is one of the best sportswear manufacturers across Europe and the world. It sells apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and youth. From football to gymnastics, golf to cricket and basketball to rugby, Adidas has established itself well in the sports apparel industry.
Football is one of Adidas’ strengths – its main focus is producing football kits and associated equipment. Adidas provides apparel for teams in Major League Soccer as well as supplies team kits for many international football teams. These kits include football boots such as Adidas’ Predator, F50 and adiPure range. These boots are amongst the best in the world, are improved upon every year, and are highly sought after by the most discerning player.
Adidas Predator X Football Boots
This is the 2010 version of the famous Predator line. Predator is well known for the presence of rubber patches on the top of the shoe, which increases friction between the boot and the ball. Predator X was designed with new ‘Power-spine’ technology, which improves shooting power by reducing the amount the foot bends back as it kicks the ball. This boot is built from Taurus full grain leather for a smoother, better fit and is full of innovative technology, which claims to give ultimate power in wet and dry conditions, better ball contact and optimal grip on soft pitches.
Adidas F50 adiZero Prime Football Boots
The F in F50 stand for ‘future’, and is clearly remarkable as they are the lightest in the world upon release. The first adiZero’s tipped the scales at 165 g, making it one of the most popular football boots available. In the first week of 2011, Adidas released F50 adiZero Prime which is 20 g lighter than the standard adiZero, weighing 145 g! This new boot is the lightest in the world because of its new upper. Known as the adiTwin Light, this new fabric is a single layer synthetic for better ball touch and weight reduction.
Adidas adiPure IV Football Boots
AdiPure is another famous Adidas line. It was introduced in 2008 in traditional Black and White colourways, followed by Blue and White and Silver and Black colourways. Version III was released in 2010 in various colours. In 2011, Adidas announced the release of adiPure IV Football Boots. These boots weigh 280 g – the lightest adiPure ever. These boots support the natural stretch of K- Leather, and have a fantastic fit, have less water uptake and are extremely comfortable.

Skydiving - A Sport For The Brave
Of all the sports created by the creative imagination of man, it is Skydiving that I believe most astonishingly extraordinary. Leaping off a plane 3,000 meters above sea level and free falling with at velocities reaching 200 mile per hour is completely insanely awesome!
According to its practical meaning, skydiving is the act of ejecting or jumping off a plane or a tall structure, and landing safely on earth’s surface with the aid of a parachute. Skydiving is either executed as a peculiar recreational activity or an aggressive sport. In the military, skydiving or parachuting is engaged as a tactical deployment of airborne soldiers to an exact area of operations.
Skydiving is typically executed in groups or by batches. Normally, the skydivers jump off a plane, but sometimes from a gondola balloon or a helicopter. The usual height for jumps is at 1,000 to 4,000 meters above sea level. The farther from land they start, the longer their free-fall time and time to deploy parachute. Speeds might reach up to 120 MPH for belly to the land and 200 MPH for head down orientations. From higher altitudes, skydivers might undergo about a minute of free-fall before he/she needs to use the parachute for safe landing. When the parachute opens (usually at 800 meters), the velocity of the skydiver slows rapidly. With the aid of toggles for steering, the skydiver can control the route and speed for 5 to 7 minutes and aim for a safe and gentle landing.
A first time skydiver may jump off with an experienced mentor. This is known as tandem skydiving. In this type of jump, the apprentice is firmly connected to the instructor with a harness. This guarantees that the apprentice stays protected and will not fall away from the mentor throughout the dive. By this method, the apprentice is guided through the whole process- jumping off, free-falling, pointing the canopy, and finally safe landing.
Tandem skydiving is the most efficient means to educate beginners. But, it is also more luxurious compared to the other modes- the static line and the accelerated freefall. Skydiving in tandem efficiently exposes the beginners to the real thing without so much prior training or instructions since they will learn of these things by themselves through firsthand experience. The student should not worry of his/her life since the trainer is in-charge of everything; from exiting the plane or helicopter, maneuvering in freefall, organizing the main canopy, to safely landing on the ground.
Skydiving maybe among the most luxurious sport in the world, but the pleasure you get from it is totally indescribable by words. Skydiving is in fact a sport like no other; no one even close.

Running Make Life Easy
In this part, I expect to discuss the mental change caused by running. At the beginning, according to the report of runners, take into account on their running emotion. In the next place, researching for how the mental phenomenon is bringing in running, and what is the influence in our life. There are two pars in running benefits, the mental benefits and the body benefits.
There will be almost nothing of emotion area waiting to search can affect you in your brain than running. These profound changes also bring far-reaching impacts, and it can supply the clues for us to realize the complex relation. In the few months that I work for research this book, I have travelled lots of places, I communicated with kinds of runners and other people, and they provide me running information in different directions.
When the talking starts, there will be a concrete question in my brain, for instance, the question of the running of an outbreak of the man with heart trouble, the strategy of the race and which kind of muscular tissue related to when the man is running. In a short time of communication, we can firmly discuss that problem. But nevertheless the theme will shift, we will talk a topic which I never touch, this question is just the mental state of running. What's the change of the runner during the time of sports? Almost everybody is taking care of this problem secretly, the number of the people always think these questions is astonishing. It's really a strange thing, so I asked opinion of John Henderson about these questions. He is the "Runner's World" chief editor. He thinks the running problem's deeper than anyone alive. He told me, he doesn't feel it is unexpected. He predicts the problem which running bring will become the next important await research area in emotion. There will be a great detection in this field..
I have agreed with it. Nowadays, our society quite attach importance to the training of Sanzen, Za-zen and raise the purpose, we learnt from eastern let ourselves hale and hearty by this means. Judge from the reported with the human who have these activities, these movements have great functions. A number of men can make calm easier, and don't feel blue and worried. They can easier and longer to focus attention on one thing. There seems a power around them, if they find it is gradual fade away, just go out and run, the power will be back at the moment. But not all of these activities have influence. In many cares, It is because of one's character is not suit with nature identity. The words in our daily life are not easy to describe this phenomenon, so the deep benefits are difficult to describe. Running needs quality and the ability, such as your physical strength when your body is extremely tired. The best way to escape the depression and build a sound body is running. Avoid depression is just the stopgap, but build a sound body is a long-term policy. In reverse, through the running can let someone have deep transformation, yet the transformations totally come from interior, and it closely united with one's individuality.
We can divide up the running benefits into two parts, the mental benefits and the body benefits.

Mounting an Action Camera for Snowboarding
As any snowboarder will know, nothing quite compares to a session on the slopes. Capturing that action with an HD action camera can be a great way to relive that experience, but which is the best method for doing so?
Every year millions of snowboarders head to the slopes for their fix of snow-fuelled fun. While historically all that was needed was a board, boots and some warm clothing, many modern riders now consider technology as a standard, even essential addition to their toolkit.
Action cameras in particular have become an increasingly common accessory amongst boarders, allowing them to capture every moment of their ride, meaning memories can be saved and relived time and time again.
The progression in HD action camera technology means that these small, lightweight devices can be attached to almost any part of the riders body, or helmet, giving riders the option to capture footage from a number of different perspectives.
Making a decision on where and how to mount an action camera comes down to a number a factors - the type of camera being used, the style, or perspective of footage looking to be captured and the riding style of the user. So for those planning on capturing some riding footage this winter, here are some options;
Helmet mounts
Helmet mounts come in several different forms and will appeal to different riders depending on the model of camera and type of helmet they’re using. Users of the popular GoPro HD Helmet Hero cameras, or the new GoPro HD2 range will be particularly spoilt for choice, with a number of options available.
The GoPro Vented Helmet Strap Mount is a popular choice with snowboarders due to its ease of use and relatively small price tag. This mount simply straps securely through the helmet vents and can be removed via a quick release mechanism, allowing easy access to the camera.
Similarly, the GoPro head strap mount is a quick-release style mount, but instead fits over the helmet, as apposed to through it. This is a good mount for riders who wear a helmet without vents.
For an altogether different point of view, the GoPro Front Mount attaches to the front of the helmet, like a headlamp, and can be extended to face back at the rider to allow for self-portrait videos and photos. This is great for riders who want to interchange between point-of-view and documentary style recording.
Goggle mounts
Goggle mounts are a common choice for snowboarders, especially those seeking that ‘point-of-view’ footage seen so often in professional snowboard movies. The camera sits on either side of the goggles and follows the rider’s eye line as they ride, meaning nothing is missed.
The goggle mount is more commonly used with the smaller, more streamlined models of action camera, such as the Drift HD and Contour HD. Both Contour and Drift offer their own goggle mounts that has been specifically designed to fit their products.
A Goggle mount is an ideal option for those who ride without a helmet, but equally appealing to those who require constant access to their camera, perhaps between short periods of filming.
Head strap mounts
Of course, there are riders who choose not to wear a helmet, and also those to prefer to wear sunglasses to goggles. For these people a head strap mount is the best option. These straps can be easily adjusted meaning they can be worn over hats and beanies without any trouble.
Almost all action cameras will come with a mount of some description when purchased, however, be sure to look at the range of mounts on offer if you’re looking for something in particular. No matter what type of action camera mount you choose, it’s always important to ensure it’s suitable for your camera model and sporting activity.

The Three Most Popular NBA Jerseys
The NBA is back. This means more coast-to-coast excitement. Is this the year the East takes over? With the Lakers not being able to land Chris Paul because of a blocked deal by the NBA, with the Spurs nearly ancient and with the Mavericks missing Tyson Chandler, the door is wide open for the East. Even if you think the Clippers can make a run this year and somehow make the NBA Finals, they don’t have any playoff experience. The demise of the West is great news for the East, especially for teams like the Heat and Bulls. Regardless of what team you’re rooting for, it’s important that you support your team by looking into NBA jerseys.
What are the most popular NBA jerseys? Do you know the answer? If not, don’t worry. We have the answers. If you’re not an NBA fan and you’re thinking of buying a gift for someone who is an NBA fan, the last thing you want is to buy a jersey for the 6th man on the Wizards. That probably wouldn’t go over too well. Even if you’re an NBA fan, don’t you want to own the most popular NBA jerseys? It simply looks cooler. If you’re not into looking cool, then consider NBA jerseys for players you like or players that play the same way you do.
The most popular NBA jersey shouldn’t come as a surprise. It’s LeBron James. The interesting thing about this is that LeBron is hated by many. Therefore, when people see this jersey on your back, they’re either going to give you an accepting nod or they’re going to turn away from you. If they turn away, who cares? You’re representing.
The second most popular NBA jersey is Kobe Bryant. This is somewhat surprising. While he still might be the best player in the game, he’s on the tail end of his career, which usually leads to fewer jersey sales. Another big factor is that Kobe doesn’t attack the rim anymore. He’s more of a jump shooter, which the younger crowd doesn’t think is as cool. However, Kobe always finds a way to beat the odds, even when it comes to public perception. Just don’t expect Kobe to win anymore titles. His supporting cast is fading fast.
The two most popular NBA jerseys might have been relatively easy to predict, but there’s no way you’re going to guess #3 on the list. If you guessed Dwayne Wade, Amar’e Stoudamire, Kevin Durant or Dwight Howard, you would be wrong. Number three on the list is Rajon Rondo. Before you shake your head in disbelief, there are two major reasons for this. One is because he’s a young point guard who makes exciting plays. The other reason is because he plays in Boston. Los Angeles, Chicago and New York might all be great basketball cities, but until you live in Boston and understand the culture, you don’t understand how important basketball is here. This isn’t a city where half the population watches the Celtics game. This is a city where almost everyone lives and breathes Celtics.
Those are the three most popular NBA jerseys. Do you think the list will be the same after this season? Don’t be spineless. Make a prediction and buy the NBA jersey of the player who you think is most likely to break out this season.
