NEW YORK — How does Jeremy Lin react to his first loss as a starter?

How about with his most complete game as a pro.

Lin had 28 points, 14 assists and five steals to help will the Knicks to a win over the Dallas Mavericks at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.

He’s the first player this season and just the fifth in the past 15 to go for 24 points, 14 assists and five steals. And just for good measure, Lin added four rebounds.

“The game that he had, that’s ridiculous,” said coach Mike D’Antoni.

Making things even more ridiculous? Lin made plays when the Knicks, who trailed by ten late in the third quarter, needed them most. He had 14 points, six assists and three steals in the game’s final 15:19.

“Seems like the harder the moment, the better he shoots the ball. He makes big plays and he’s fearless,” D’Antoni said.

Lin was going up against a Dallas defense that ranked fourth in efficiency entering play on Sunday. The Mavericks threw Shawn Marion at Lin for large stretches of the game. Over the past three games, Marion had held Ricky Rubio, Chris Paul and Ty Lawson in check. They also tried to trap Lin continuously on the pick and roll.

“It was different, I haven’t seen that so definitely it caught me off guard a little bit,” he said.

If Lin was caught off guard, it was tough to tell. He got into the teeth of the Dallas defense consistently, despite the Mavericks’ best efforts. According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Knicks went 22-for-37 and scored 44 points in the paint with Lin on the floor — a credit to his ability to penetrate.

“We moved the ball and we had a lot of people contribute,” the second-year guard said. “Across the board, the efficiency was there from everybody.”

Lin wasn’t perfect on Sunday.

He finished with seven turnovers on the heels of a nine-turnover night against New Orleans. But his ability to penetrate opened up the perimeter for the Knicks, who shot 41 percent from beyond the arc. New York’s hot shooting in turn allowed Lin more room to penetrate, something he wasn’t able to do in the Knicks’ loss to the Hornets on Friday.

D’Antoni was impressed by Lin’s ability to bounce back after his first loss as an NBA starter.

“You can’t teach what’s inside his heart. You can’t teach that, and he has it. His heart is huge,” D’Antoni said.

Lin’s heart was on full display late in the third quarter. With a little over three minutes to play in the third, Lin converted layups while being fouled on back-to-back possessions. His free-throw after the second layup cut Dallas’ lead to eight.

Lin then brought the Knicks within three with a steal and dunk with 12 seconds remaining in the third.

Tyson Chandler called the play “huge.”

And Lin was just getting warmed up.

The 23-year-old had six assists and six steals in the fourth. Four of Lin’s assists were to Steve Novak, who had 14 points in the quarter. Lin also hit two 3-pointers, the biggest coming with 6:53 to go. He made the shot with Dirk Nowitzki contesting to put the Knicks up, 90-81.

Lin, you may remember, was on the end of the Knicks bench earlier this month. He was cut twice in the preseason and spent time in the D-League last month.

So the significance of knocking down a big shot over Nowitzki’s Mavs wasn’t lost on him.

“I was watching them win the championship last year,” Lin said. “And that’s where this team wants to go.”

Can they get there? That question will have to wait for another day.

But Lin answered one lingering question on Sunday. The kid sure knows how to bounce back from a loss.


Spy watches in the Movies

Posted by admin on Tuesday, 14 February, 2012


Watches have often been used as one of the Bond gadgets.

Bond is mostly associated with wearing a Rolex Submariner or Omega Seamaster, but a number of Seiko watches were featured in the Roger Moore Bond movies of the 1980’s as well as the first LED watch the Hamilton Pulsar.

In the early Bond movies Sean Connery wore gadget less Rolex Submariners, it wasn’t until the fourth Bond film Thunderball was released in 1965 that the trend for Bond gadget watches started when he sported a Breitling Top Time equipped with a Geiger counter.

Below are some of the Bond gadget watches. From left: from Live and Let Die the magnetic watch and buzz saw watch. Next the ticker tape watch from For your Eyes Only, and finally the Laser equipped Omega Seamaster from Goldeneye.


Benefits of a Neck Massager

Posted by admin on Tuesday, 10 January, 2012

Everyone occasionally experiences stiffness or pain in their neck and shoulders, but among people under high stress or those who spend long hours at a computer, neck pain can become severe or even debilitating. There are a number of treatments for neck pain, including pain relief medications, exercise and stretching, or therapeutic massage, but sufferers of chronic or constant neck pain might prefer a personal neck massager.

Pain Relief
Massage and massaging devices have a scientific foundation in relieving sore or stiff muscles. The physical sensation of massage interferes with the transmission of pain signals to the brain, preventing the perception of pain. Massage also releases the body’s endorphins, which act as natural painkillers.

Since neck massagers cannot become tired as human fingers do, neck massagers are particularly effective in providing pain relief.

Portability
Neck massagers are easy to transport and use anywhere: at the office, on a bus or train, or in a hotel, providing relief and relaxation wherever you need it.

Control
Most neck massagers are equipped with remotes or knobs that allow users to adjust the intensity to suit their individual needs. They can also be adjusted to fit the shape of the user’s neck, and some designs include memory-foam pillows for customized neck support.

Product Description of Music Therapy Neck Massager
- Take a welcome break from today’s hectic pace with a soothing, warm neck massage
- Relieve the aches and pains from typing, long sitting and other incorrect posture
- Comes with soothing music
- Adjustable size

Now if you were out running wild and shopping like an animal this black Friday then you probably have notice that what kids are wanting and what’s being marketed to them this Christmas are electronics. Being a lover of tech and being someone who watches tech religiously I decided to let you in on what I think is the best christmas gift for a kid in 2012.

Now kids are wanting iPads and iPods and rightfully so, they are amazing peaces of technology. However they are also really expensive and maybe not the best idea for a child.

There are some great alternatives out there for our children. We know they want the ability to play music and video on a handheld device like an iPod or an iPad.

I believe the top gift for a kid in 2012 is a product called Video Games, like psp, nintendo ds, xbox.

Take the time to check out an psp. I will bet your small child will love it! So stop going out there in the black friday jungle and check out the great deals that are online like this awesome Ematic.

2011 Rubik’s Cube Championship Winners

Posted by admin on Friday, 28 October, 2011

The Rubik’s Cube has been famous since it hit the toy scene 30 something years ago. The fun puzzle has created cult-like following, including a world championship. This year (2011), they hosted it in Bangkok, Thailand and the first place winner was Michal Pleskowicz. He solved the puzzle in 8.65 seconds. A US competitor came in second place with 9.56 seconds. You will find the full press release underneath this post.

I have to say that I think seeing the Rubik’s Cube championship would likely be a lot of fun. I personally could never figure it out, but I never really even tried to spend much time on one. However, I know that the game cannot be too hard if they have enough people who can crack it within seconds. Hopefully I can learn it one day.

Do you think the Rubik’s Cube is something that more people should play with? I do since it promotes thinking and that is the best type of play. I wish more kids would want to play with it, however, they don’t and it’s a shame. I do think championships of the Rubik’s Cube might be what is needed to bring it back into the forefront. Anyways, here is the full press release.
