Fédération Internationale de Basketball Amateu
International Basketball Federation

Actually i prefer the FIBA rules than the NBA rules. i know is hard to tell the different between them. But they are different. To me, NBA is for entertainment and FIBA is more serious play. But both are serious. hehe. Even i play for 8 years of basketball career in school, i don't know all the rules. Only the offer rules called, i know.
There is a huge different in playing and refereeing. And usually refereeing is the hardest. i referee before and is not easy. Cause you are seeing 10 people on the court constantly moving even you have 3 other ref's to help you. And if you follow this year Olympics. there are so many calls that many of you might not know what the call is. Cause FIBA is more strict on the rules. Every 3-4 seconds sure there is a call, sometimes on travel, carry, off'def foul, 3 sec, and many more. Well this is FIBA.

I'm not a huge fan of the NBA. But i do watch the NBA cause astro hardly shows international basketball or college ball. i watch the NBA on how they play one on one or how they play tactics or how they run fast-breaks. NBA is just very entertaining.
here are the NBA rules

Laying Down the Rules

I'm telling to all who don't know whether it is a 'swoosh or a 'tick'

Swoosh is the symbol of the athletic shoe and clothing manufacturer Nike. It is among the most easily recognized brand logos in the world.

History

The Nike "Swoosh" is a design created in 1971 by Carolyn Davidson, a graphic design student at Portland State University. She met Phil Knight while he was teaching accounting classes and she started doing some freelance work for his company, Blue Ribbon Sports (BRS).

BRS needed a new brand for a new line of athletic footwear it was preparing to introduce in 1972. Knight approached Davidson for design ideas, and she agreed to provide them, charging a rate of $2 per hour.

In June 1971, Davidson presented a number of design options to Knight and other BRS executives, and they ultimately selected the mark now known globally as the Swoosh. Davidson submitted a bill for $35 for her work. (In 1983, Knight gave Davidson a gold Swoosh ring and an envelope filled with Nike stock to express his gratitude.)

In June 1972, the first running shoes bearing the Swoosh were introduced at the U.S. Track and Field Olympic Trials in Eugene, Oregon. Nike continues to use the brand today.

still don't believe, go wiki or answers, even better nike.com

don't you piss me off whether it is a swoosh or a tick or whatever related to Nike

Learn to Play

Hey yo,

Well i'm learning how to play the guitar by myself about 4 weeks already. I do think that am making good progress. Learning quite a few chords and scales. i know chords like C, G, D, A, E, B major. i know is a long way more before i can play a whole song.
Why did i pick up guitar a long time ago? hmm...i didn't really like playing any music instrument. And my parents force me to play the piano but i didn't really do well in that either. I manage to grade 3. And at that time was sought of my prime time in sports.
But i come from a music family, everyone and really everyone can play an instrument. Even my uncles and aunts can play. So in a way it is quite a lot of pressure. Not that i don't like music, i do like music, is that i don't really like playing a instrument.
What inspire to play the guitar? Is the young youth for the passion in worship. i think nearly everyone in the young youth cell can play the guitar. And you know what people say when you can play the guitar 'You will be a great leader in worship or leader some way' cause the guitar is the most transporterable instrument to carry. It brings a unique tune that people get emotionally easy. And seeing MK and MT and Ben playing the guitar on stage with full of enthusiasm. Really makes me want to play the guitar.
Well i'm taking it slow first. i want to learn the chords by heart. But i need to know how to strum guitar.

Worship

Worship
Is something special.
It comes from your heart.
Insideout
Is a deep devotion.
is not eye close,
is not hand raise,
is not singing,
is not jumping around,
Is
the
Heart
is your heart
is your love for HIM
ask yourself,
why you worship Jesus?

John 4:23-24

yours truly,
