Digital Photography- Top 100 Simplified Tips & Tricks (T

<html>Like other excellent titles in Wiley's Visual series, Rob Sheppard's book on digital photography is well organized and makes extremely good use of photos to illustrate techniques described in the text. In some ways, the title of the book may do it a disservice: don't think that you will only get 100 tips; there are tips and tricks lodged within the 100 labeled tips. Also, the book provides sound advice for taking better photos, be they digital or not.

In this book I saw great explanations of fundamental photographic information such as WHAT METERS REALLY DO (Tip 22) -- and why it really is important to understand. In the past I've often drawn blank stares when I've tried to explain this topic, and Sheppard (with the help of some great photos) does it simply and succinctly in a way that most people would be able to grasp. In similar manner, more advanced topics are handled such that photographers are encouraged to stretch their abilities to new levels.

Readers who like to flip open a book in random places will really enjoy Digital Photography: Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks, 3rd Edition, as it is definitely not necessary to read through methodically starting at page one. You can just crack open the book, pick a tip,Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand <a name="http://wiki.mathenary.com/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Dotwvnha9">Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand</a> [http://wiki.mathenary.com/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Dotwvnha9 Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand</ a> <a href="http://wiki.mathenary.com/index.php/%EC%82%AC%EC%9A%A9%EC%9E%90:Dotwvnha9">4.12 Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand] ~~Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand~~ ^{Picture Perfect Photos Are Within Your Reach With These Hand}, any tip, and give it a try the next time you are out with a camera or sitting at a computer with some photo files to play with.

As is customary in Wiley's Visual series,Wholesale Green Bay Packers Hats, each tip is assigned a Difficulty Level so the readers has some ideas of what they are getting into. The book covers a broad range of topics beyond the fundamentals of taking good photos. While not getting too deep into the fine points, space is devoted to basic digital editing for taking advantage of photo-improvement techniques that were unavailable when darkrooms were full of nasty chemicals. That said, this isn't a book of advanced photo-editing techniques using Photoshop CS3, but it does a dandy job of demonstrating some of the amazing improvements that can be made using Photoshop Elements.

Sheppard gets bonus points for not assuming that everyone uses a PC; key combinations are given for Macs as well as PCs. Just because Mac users are substantially smarter than a typical shoulder roast and can usually translate instructions given for PCs, it is nice that we are not taken for granted as happens in many books on digital editing.

Maybe after taking some great photos and then doing some digital editing to bring out their strong points and minimize any flaws, readers will want to explore some of the many ways that they can make use of their images. Sheppard doesn't let them down here either,Green Bay Packers Jersey, as several Tips and Tricks are devoted to various ways of sharing photos on the web, DVDs, and in print.

If this book isn't worth the price of ten cups of java, I don't know what is. It adroitly covers many of the issues involved with the taking, improving, and use of digital photos and does so in ways that are accessible to readers of varied skill levels. It is hard to give a comprehensive review of such a wide ranging book, but I'm quite certain that many people will part with about twenty bucks if they visit a bookstore and flip through the pages. And most of these people will shortly find themselves understanding something that was fuzzy in the past, or trying new ways of taking photos, or getting a little bolder with their digital editing, or trying new ways of sharing their photos. If so, buying and working through Digital Photography: Top 100 Simplified Tips and Tricks, 3rd Edition will have been money well spent.

Shock and awww- Sad, weird Emmys didn't make much sense

<html>4 hours ago

 Getty Images Scenes from Sunday's Emmys, clockwise from top left: Host Neil Patrick Harris hoping for two thumbs up, Rob Reiner paying tribute to Jean Stapleton, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler stealing the show in 2 minutes, and Aaron Paul photo bombing "Breaking Bad" co-star Bryan Cranston. Sunday night's Emmy Awards did itself no favors by going up against the second-to-last episode of "Breaking Bad," the acclaimed show that won the night's outstanding drama series award.

Those who chose to forgo catching up with Walter White's meth-filled world to watch the television industry celebrate itself didn't find nearly the drama they'd have found over on AMC. But they did find an equally puzzling land, where some decisions made perfect sense, and others seemed about as well-thought-out as ditching your teaching career for a horrific ride through the land of illegal drugs. Rewind the DVR with us as we take another look at what made sense and what didn't. Made sense: Neil Patrick Harris' selection as host. Who doesn't love Doogie/Barney, who can play off the ridiculous and the vapid with ease?

Didn't make sense:?The poor use of Harris,basketball jerseys cheap, who began with an excruciatingly boring setup where he imagined TV shows were talking to him, then took the stage to be harangued by former hosts of the show. His middle-of-the-show song-and-dance number was fun, but he was wasted again in a weirdly interpretative dance number of the year's best drama nominees. Did a frustrated dance major decide to present this via the nominees for best choreography? Does the world really need to see two Hazmat-suited men dancing with "Breaking Bad"-shaped periodic table element cubes?? Made sense: The two people at the Emmys with perhaps as much stored public goodwill as Harris were Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who were the two highlights of that opening segment. Their goofball antics �� chomping popcorn, wearing 3-D glasses and urging Harris to twerk �� were typical Fey and Poehler gold. Didn't make sense: Fey and Poehler were there, they seemed game �� why not use them more? Even their clowning pratfall as they climbed the stage stairs in heels was more entertaining than most of Harris' lines. Mike Blake / Reuters Is this the end? We hope not. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler take a funny tumble on the way to the stage at the Primetime Emmys. Made sense: It was a tough year for Hollywood �� James Gandolfini, Annette Funicello, Larry Hagman, Jean Stapleton and so many other iconic faces were lost to death. So it was only logical that the Emmys would want to honor its past and draw attention to the great actors, directors and others who passed away. Didn't make sense: But not this way. Only a few people �� Gandolfini,4.12 wholesale nfl jerseys china, Stapleton, Jonathan Winters, writer Gary David Goldberg, "Glee" star Cory Monteith �� were given individual tributes. And those tributes were delivered �� though lovingly by friends �� in stiff, book-report style. Wouldn't our fond memories of these legends have been better served by brief clip reels in which we saw the stars actually acting, making us laugh or cry, as they did on-screen? What would've garnered more smiles and applause, Rob Reiner remembering his TV mother-in-law, or sweet Stapleton admonishing "Aww-chee" in that way only Edith Bunker could? Made sense: The new love for Netflix, the network that doesn't even show its programming on television but still earned 14 nominations, felt proper and timely. Netflix is blazing trails with shows such as "House of Cards" and "Hemlock Grove," and the Emmys were quick to recognize this new serious player. Mike Blake / Reuters Can we talk? "House of Cards" star Kevin Spacey performs a cutaway scene during the opening act at the Primetime Emmy Awards. Didn't make sense: That said, only "House of Cards" won anything, claiming a directing Emmy for David Fincher and two Creative Arts Emmys, one for cinematography and one for casting. Kevin Spacey about stole Harris' opening bit when he broke the fourth wall by turning to the audience, as his congressman character does on "Cards," and bragging about how the skit was all his plot to bring Harris down. Keyser Soze's still got it. Made sense: It would've been a crime along the lines of anything Walter White perpetrated had "Breaking Bad" been ignored in this, its final season. No program has been talked about more, no program has been more ground-breaking in recent weeks. The show deserved its best drama Emmy and it was nice, too, to see overlooked Anna Gunn, who shines weekly as poor Skylar, win for best supporting actress. Didn't make sense: But then Cranston loses to Jeff Daniels for "The Newsroom"? And Aaron Paul to Bobby Cannavale of "Boardwalk Empire"?

Arizona Cardinals- What we know after week 3

<html>Three weeks of the NFL 2013 season are in the books already, with the sporting a 1-2 record. Sure, a 1-2 record after three games sounds pitiful at best, but let's take some reference points.

At 1-2 the Cardinals are tied for second in the division with the and the .

The Cards are operating under new management on both sides of the ball as well as at the GM position.

Continuing with the new theme, operating under center is a shiny and new to the team QB option in Carson Palmer. Palmer is just one of the many new names on a team that went through a massive roster overhaul.

Sure sure, new this and new that. How's that translate past the 1-2 record?

Well, after watching this new team for three weeks it appears all the newness to the team hasn't succeeded into making them a better team. The offense seems like a good place to start the breakdown.

Bruce Arians was highly regarded as the hottest HC candidate on the market for the work he did as interim HC for the as well as for his offensive play-calling schemes. Looking at the first two games under his belt I felt that the play-calling was balanced and led to many mismatches and opportunities. Then Arians drank the Dr. Whiz juice in the third game and went away from a successful run game to air the ball out. - Verdict: Prescription medicine for bipolar

Keeping with the offense, let's speak on Levi Brown who missed last most of last season due to injury. Arians called him elite. Many post here and across the web noted that the offensive line would have to get better with the return of Levi Brown. Three weeks in and talk has changed. While I never believed Brown has the physical tools to be a left tackle, visual proof is once again on tape from the 2013 season.

However, not all is bleak. 3rd round pick is well on his way to defensive rookie of the year awards as he continually flashes big plays in each game.

So what have we learned about the Cardinals? That they've improved, somewhat. Those improvements though are only good enough to provide frustration as the team competes but doesn't really win many. There are too many places that require improvement before they enter the arena of competition, which might be the case in 2014.

Until then,basketball jerseys cheap, keep plenty of Pepto Bismol on hand Card's faithful.</html>

Back on the bike

<html>Carly Allen, 7, sits on the tire swing at Hiawatha Elementary School on Wednesday,wholesale nfl jerseys china, September, 18, 2013 in Hiawatha, Iowa. Allen has Sotos Syndrome, characterized by excessive growth in early childhood. (Adam Wesley/The Gazette-KCRG TV9)

CEDAR RAPIDS — Though she’s 7 years old and learned how to, Carly Allen hasn’t ridden a bike, independently, for two years.

She can sit in the seat and hold on to the handles as her mom, Lisa,basketball jerseys cheap, pushes her around the yard. But that’s not the same.

Carly has Sotos syndrome, a rare genetic disorder. Characterized by excessive growth early in life, the condition also results delayed motor development and low muscle tone among other symptoms, which make riding a traditional bike impossible for her.

Though Carly and her family now know what is behind varying symptoms, arriving at the diagnosis took years and bit of detective work.

Carly was born four weeks premature. She weighed 10 pounds.

At five weeks old, she was referred to Mayo Clinic, where she was diagnosed with a heart defect and an overly narrow anal canal. She had three surgeries to correct those issues, but Lisa says she could tell something still wasn’t right with her daughter.

“Every year, she would grow 4 to 6 inches,” Lisa says.

People said she was growing so fast because she was a preemie. But Lisa says there were other clues that something was different with her middle child.

“Her teeth started to rot, she has an awkward gait — she just couldn’t walk straight — and she had to have tubes put in her ears,” Lisa says. “Every year,Is Philip Rivers ready for the Cowboys defense-, there was something and she continued to grow.”

Years of doctor appointments, therapy sessions, hospital stays and medical tests, including an MRI, finally resulted in a diagnosis earlier this year. Lisa says she reached for her computer moments after doctors told her Carly may have Sotos syndrome, which affects 1 in 10,000 to 14,000 newborns.

“The first picture that appeared on the screen, I said ‘That’s Carly,’” Lisa remembers. “Out of 81 characteristics, she has 30.”

Sotos isn’t life-threatening. Carly will have a normal life expectancy. She will continue to grow at an increased rate until puberty. Carly is expected to be more than 6 feet tall when she stops growing.

The initial abnormalities of Sotos — delayed motor, cognitive and social development; low muscle tone; and speech impairments — should resolve as Carly ages.

That’s years from now, though. Now all she wants to do is ride a bike with her older sister, Raeann.

“We’ve exhausted bubbles and sidewalk chalk as outdoor entertainment,” Lisa Allen says.

“Right now, she just watches a lot,” Raeann, 9, says.

An adapted bike, which resembles an adult-sized tricycle with each wheel the same size, would allow her to join in.

Northtowne Cycling and Fitness has one in stock and Lisa says they will service the bike and fit it to Carly as she continues to grow. The price tag of $600,JACKSON- BILL MINOR- Shots stir 70, however, is more than Lisa can afford.

“We started calling around and we decided to put together a huge fundraiser so we can buy the bike,” Raeann says.

The fundraiser will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. on Monday,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, Sept, 23, at Pizza Ranch, 2450 Westdale Dr. SW.

Pizza Ranch will donate 15 percent of a customer’s bill to Carly’s bike fund if they bring in a fundraiser flyer. Flyers are available at Hiawatha Elementary School, where Carly is in first grade.

Team Carly volunteers will bus tables on Monday and all tips will go to the fund. Donation jars also will be at the restaurant.

“I think it’s going to be nice that she’s finally going to get a bike,” Raeann says.

When asked what color of bike she’d like, Carly whispers “Green.”

Lisa says she’s overwhelmed by the support of the community, including everyone at Hiawatha Elementary.

“I’m thrilled that she may be able to get back on a bike this year, but it’s also really good that we’re getting the word out about Sotos because it’s so rare,” Lisa says. “We talk a lot about this at home. We don’t need people to feel sorry for Carly. We just need them to understand.”</html>

From the Armchair- Arizona Cardinals, Week 5

<html> The Arizona Cardinals hosted the Carolina Panthers this week in a primarily defensive match that lead to the Cards reaching the .600 mark for the season. While the game was very tedious even to the biggest fan during the first half, with both teams only scoring a single field goal, the second half of the game portrayed much more interesting plays, including 2 touchdowns by Arizona and several unexpected turnovers by both sides. In comparison to last week s match versus Carolina s division rival Tampa Bay; the Cardinals were off to a slow start throughout the first half, but the defense managed to pickup and win the 2nd half of the game.

Offense
Quarterback Palmer showed some improvement this week by completing 19 passes out of 28 attempts, which is roughly 2/3 for a total of 175 yards and a touchdown. However his 3 picks brought his passer rating down to a measly 57.0, which surprisingly was still enough to win the game. Unlike previous matches, Palmer s weak performance was based on his own poor decisions, rather than issues with protection from the offensive line. Rookie running back Andre Ellington ran for an average of 7.4 YPC,Yahoo Philippines Sports 1, combined with former Steeler Rashard Mendenhall, the duo put out exactly 100 rushing yards. Wide receiver Michael Floyd had 5 key receptions to assist the Cardinals during their drives, however Larry Fitzgerald was seldom used by only having 3 receptions, though they were all vital in gaining 1st downs. Jay Feely kicked 2 critical 50 yard field goals to give the Cardinals a much needed boost in their point lead.

Defense
Inside linebacker Daryl Washington finally returned to the lineup after being suspended for the previous 4 games for substance abuse. Washington had a breakout performance as he recorded 9 tackles,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, including 2 sacks and an interception that was returned for 41 yards. His performance is quite possibly the best ever by a Cardinals defensive player during their 25 year period in Phoenix. Panthers Quarterback Cam Newton had trouble dealing with the Card s defense as he was sacked 7 times,wholesale nfl jerseys china, including a 2 point safety, and threw 3 interceptions with 21 completions of 39 attempts, despite of all of this, he managed 308 yards. Karlos Dansby and Calais Campbell also recorded vital tackling statistics that prevented Carolina s offense from gaining access to the end zone. Defensive back Patrick Peterson intercepted one of Newton s passes just short of the goal line and returned it almost to the center of the field. Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams was limited to a total of 39 yards, which is much lower than his typical average.

&nbsp,Game Recap- Lakers Win First Preseason Game Since 2011; Conclusion
While the defense showed much ability in this win, the offense still needs improvement,basketball jerseys cheap, especially in blocking and the passing game, as well as penalty calls; all of which defensive-minded coach Arians needs to address for future games. The Cardinals will be celebrating the fact that they are now .600, but with the next coming games versus division rivals 49ers and Seahawks and then a home game against the Falcons, this may be the only point in the season that the Cardinals will be above the 50% win mark.

'Mind the windows!' Prince William tells palace footballers

<html>Britain's Prince William warned footballers to watch the Buckingham Palace windows on Monday as Queen Elizabeth II's official residence staged the first football match in its 308-year history.

A match between two of England's oldest amateur teams took place in the 39-acre gardens of the famous central London landmark as part of celebrations to mark the 150th anniversary of the Football Association.

William, president of the FA and second in line to the British throne, was on hand to oversee the event, although the Queen,Meningitis Relapse- Tennessee Patient who Survived 2012 Outbreak Returns to Hosp, his grandmother,basketball jerseys cheap, was not present.

"This magnificent home, Buckingham Palace, is at the heart of the nation, and so there cannot be a more fitting setting to celebrate our national game, and to celebrate all of you," he told volunteers and guests including FA chairman Greg Dyke and former England striker Michael Owen.

William said he was "excited" to see "football on my grandmother's lawn," before joking: "One warning, though: if anyone breaks a window, you can answer to her."

The palace has played host to pop concerts in the past, as well as two boxing matches, but never a game of football.

Civil Service FC and Polytechnic FC, both from Chiswick in west London, faced off on a pitch specially prepared by a team led by the head groundsman from Wembley Stadium, Tony Stones.

Civil Service are the sole surviving football club from the 11 teams who founded the FA in a public house in central London in 1863 and later drafted the game's 13 original laws. Polytechnic were formed in 1875.

Prior to kick-off,Redknapp hits out at Football Association, William shook hands with the players and spoke to match referee Howard Webb, Britain's most high-profile referee, who previously took charge of the 2010 World Cup final.

With Owen standing nearby, the Duke of Cambridge joked: "Michael's available as a super sub."

Although William did not play in the match, which took place beneath bright autumnal sunshine, he did take part in a training session alongside members of the palace's own football squad.

The self-proclaimed Aston Villa fan sported a pair of orange Nike football boots for the occasion, which were reportedly given to him as a gift by Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney.

The Civil Service team presented William with two miniature football shirts for his new son, Prince George -- one red and one white, both with 'HRH 1' on the back.

It was Polytechnic who prevailed in the Southern Amateur League game, however, winning 2-1.

Polytechic's manager, Geoff Brown, said the experience was "something very special".

Earlier, William had handed out medals to 150 grassroots football volunteers and praised the sport's role in British society.

"At its best,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, football is a powerful force for good in society. It binds people from different backgrounds, communities, faiths and abilities -- and gives them a common interest, a unifying identity," he said.

Paying tribute to the volunteers present during a pre-match reception in the palace ballroom, he added: "You change lives, you give people meaning, enjoyment, perspective, a release, an outlet; you bring people together and inject fun, laughter, passion, goals and challenges into others' lives.

"It is people like you who make our country what it is. I sincerely hope that you are immensely proud of your efforts and achievements."

Dyke said it had been a "wonderful" occasion.

"Luckily the weather's been good and it hasn't been raining so we did not rip up the lawn. The Duke was concerned that the lawn might suffer,wholesale nfl jerseys china, but it's OK," he said.

"It did help having the Duke of Cambridge as your president. He said his grandmother was very happy as long as we didn't break any windows."</html>

Sega's Masayoshi Kikuchi Talks Designing For A Cross

<html>Last weekend at the New York Comic Con, longtime Sega game developer and producer Masayoshi Kikuchi helped give away some pretty awesome swag. Specifically, the winners of a Sega trivia contest took home an autographed Dreamcast still safely tucked away in its original packaging, plus a never opened copy of the hard-to-find Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Fast-forward a few days and Kikuchi was still in the Big Apple with other members of the Sega team, showing off new and upcoming games at a media event co-hosted by Kabam. Kikuchi s new project is called Demon Tribe, and it s got a little bit of everything—seriously, as it s part MOBA, part CCG, part resource sim, and part action-RPG. That s probably not shocking considering it s coming from a man with a diverse resume that includes roles as the planner of the Panzer Dragoon series, the executive producer of the Yakuza games, and the director of Jet Set Radio.

What might come as a surprise is that Demon Tribe is a mobile game, built specifically for smartphones and tablets. It s a relatively new challenge for the industry veteran, but one that he seems to be tackling with gusto.

The first thing that we really took into consideration was how can we create a really exciting, fun experience on a smartphone, Kikuchi said to GameSided through a translator. Kind of similar to Kingdom Conquest 2. How can we create a really fun experience that s engaging, not only for iPad and iPhone, but for PC and console as well too?

For Demon Tribe, that means taking some MOBA characteristics and reinterpreting them to fit the play styles and session times typically attributed to mobile gamers.

The game design was born out of the idea of being able to bring a similar kind of MOBA-style experience to mobile platforms with the consideration that with an actual MOBA game like League of Legends, sometimes it takes 30 minutes to an hour to wrap up a battle, Kikuchi said. Whereas with this,basketball jerseys cheap, it s something you can play bit by bit every day and still feel like you re getting a lot of progress with it, and you re experiencing a really cool game.

The gameplay on display in New York had teams of three players battling against each other and AI spawns and towers (that s the MOBA aspect), slashing away with some visually impressive attacks (hello action-RPG) and turning into demons that they had previously collected and powered up by fusing them together (the CCG influence). It didn t look like something that would be out of place on a current gen console.

Yet it was designed from the start for mobile, with all of the form considerations that implies.

There s definitely a lot of inherent challenges with a game on a smartphone, specifically on a touchscreen, Kikuchi said. It s one of the most exciting points about being able to do the game, because it s a new experience. But at the same time it s also one of the areas where I worry most about it, because of how to create the controls.

Of course Sega is far from the only company trying to bring a console-quality gaming experience to smartphones and tablets. That idea is a sort of holy grail for a lot of developers, though there are two very different schools of thought on how to go about it. The first is to concentrate solely on mobile devices, attempting to innovate for touch while deepening the gameplay to bring it on par with what console gamers expect, while the second aims to create games that can spread to as many different machines and operating systems as possible.

Kikuchi sounds like he s in the latter camp. He even suggested that a convergence between the different forms of gaming would benefit developers as well as players.

It would be great for developing if we arrived at some point where mobile phones could support controllers and vice versa, consoles can support touch panels, he said. To bring it to more of a platform agnostic situation would be better.

So while fans of his previous work would no doubt love it if Kikuchi offered up some tidbits on new console games—even, say,Reign CW- Does Bash Have a Plan for Mary-; 4 Questions from, a U.S. release for Yakuza 5 —they can rest assured that he hasn t abandoned core gamers. With games like Demon Tribe, he s just trying to engage them in different ways and through different means,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, something he feels will be increasingly important as gaming continues to evolve in an ever more cross-platform direction.

It s very important,JPMorgan close to $13bn mortgage settlement, because being able to have cross-platform [games] opens up a lot of possibilities for the users, Kikuchi said. Moving forward there will be a lot more. Cross-platform games are definitely going to widen,cheap jerseys free shipping, and there will be a lot more of them.

Carmelo Anthony- 'Melo sending the wrong message

<html>The New York Knicks have yet to play the first game of the season and Carmelo Anthony is doing what he does best- hogging the spotlight. He appears to now be making the same stand he did in Denver. ?Denver however?foresaw the outcome and found a team to fleece Anthony to, yes, our Knicks, costing the Knicks core players and draft picks.

‘Melo is simply being selfish in the same light of Dwight Howard.

Look what Howard did to his last two franchises. ?If I m Steve Mills,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, I will watch the seasons and signs closely. ?If the Knicks get off to a poor start, Carmelo will not take the heat, he will fly the coup.

A championship team is as much built on commitment as it is to talent. To me this is a spoiled boy crying out for attention.

He should take a lesson from LeBron James, talk about the team,D'Antoni Slowly Earning Lakers Fans' Acceptance, And Rightfu, the season and winning only. ?Now if Mills and James Dolan had the guts, they would give Anthony a drop dead date prior to season’s end, to either re-up or move him.

The fact his?Anthony has two years remaining on his current contract but can opt out of the final season, worth $23.3 million. If he decides to opt out, Carmelo can make more money if he re-signs with the Knicks instead of another team. ?If ‘Melo decides to opt out of his contract and re-sign with the Knicks, he can sign a contract worth $129,135,806.

Now if he signs with another team, the maximum he can earn is $95,897,372 over four years. So the 30 million dollar question is, why would he even consider to leave New York?

Because he wants to be suited? Isn t being loved and adored, the apple of the Big Apple enough?

Where would he go? Los Angeles? Did you hear that Mike D’Antoni?

With Howard gone and Metta World Peace in New York, with Steve Nash at the end of his career and Kobe Bryant coming off a serious injury,basketball jerseys cheap, he would put himself in a rebuilding position.

As a writer and fan I feel let down, his timing is just wrong, selfish.

ESPN published:

, I want to be a free agent, Anthony told the?. I think everybody in the NBA dreams to be a free agent at least one time in their career. It s like you have an evaluation period, you know. It s like if I m in the gym and I have all the coaches, all the owners, all the GMs come into the gym and just evaluate everything I do. So yes, I want that experience.

Carmelo you had that then when the Knicks handed over half their team and gave you the key to New York. ?Now is your turn to earn your money and fan support and say, I m staying in New York to win a championship and that s final.

I came to New York for a reason, he said. I ve been with you all my life, almost to a fault. I wanted to come here and take on the pressures of playing in New York. So one thing I would tell my fans: If you haven t heard it from me, then it ain t true. (ESPN)

Knicks president and general manager Steve Mills said late last month that New York has every intention of keeping Anthony beyond this season. ?This is the reason he was hired and Glen Grunwald was removed. ?Grunwald was just too mid-western for a street guy like Anthony.

The Knicks can begin negotiations with Carmelo on an extension in February of 2014. ?But if Anthony decides to opt out, New York will likely have plenty of competition for his services.

?reported over the summer that the?Lakers?would target Anthony and James?in the summer of 2014 if both stars decide to explore free agency.

This tells you LeBron is in the same position,Sega's Masayoshi Kikuchi Talks Designing For A Cross, yet he speaks only of improving his game during the offseason and leading the to a third consecutive championship.

‘Melo needs to take a lesson from LeBron- just shut up, play ball and win.

Chiefs continue to be modest about their 8

<html>The Kansas City Chiefs had a 2-14 season last year. Each victory is a cause for celebration this year. It would be sufficient to say they have been celebrating the whole season with their 8-0 winning streak. Looking back at where they started from last year, it would have been surreal to imagine that a team with a non-existent offensive and failed quarterback could actually pull this off. Despite their winning streak, they remain down to earth.

After defeating the Cleveland Browns,Email a friend "Mizuho- Bank chair to resign after loans scandal", Chiefs safety Eric Berry said that they knew the value of each victory and knew how hard it was to get each one.
&nbsp,wholesale nfl jerseys china;

We ve always been humble, he said. We re going to keep working because we know how hard these wins are to come by. We don t take these for granted.

The Chiefs are enjoying their second best start in their entire history. In 2003, they went 9-0 at Buffalo. Their success for now can be attributed to their implementation of special teams and impeccable defence, both of which are playing so well that they are on their way to make records this season. This is the second time in seven years that they are 8-0.

The defence showed what they were made of last week when the Browns faced Chiefs,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys. Cleveland thought they had a field goal during the start of second half but the Chiefs defence showed them otherwise. They continued to counter any tries by the Browns and won the match 23-17.

But things can go bad at any time and the Chiefs know this all too well. Last time when they went 9-0, they got defeated at Cincinnati and then started spiralling down,ICYMI- Suggested Basketball Reading From Across The Web, eventually losing to the Colts in divisional rounds. In the NFL, things can change at the most unexpected times.

Even though the Chiefs are enjoying one of the best starts in franchise history, linebacker Justin Houston knew that they have to work all the way to get each win and remain on their steak.

This team has been through so much the last couple of years, we know we can withstand a lot of things but we also know we have a lot of work to do, he said.

Very win isn t a dominating one as NFL is competitive and each time wants to win just as badly as the other one. Wide receiver Dexter McCluster agreed, saying that a win is a win.

We re not trying to be the beauty queens. A win is a win,cheap jerseys free shipping, he said. We know we re going to have to fight. This is the NFL. Teams are going to be good, going to play well. All we worry about is that win.</html>

'Geneva 2' Meeting Talks Halted As U.S., Syria Ten

<html>Brahimi's appeal for a peace talk may go unanswered as Saudi Arabia has threatened to distance themselves from the U.S. after inaction in Syria and its pursuing reconciliation with Iran, Reuters reported. The Syrian opposition said they will only attend if negotiations include the ousting of Syrian President Bashar Assad and if he is tried for war crimes,basketball jerseys cheap, according to Reuters. The opposition added they would charge anyone attending unapproved negotiations with treason.

Assad's forces, which are slowly advancing around Damascus and parts of central Syria, are taking 100 lives a day, Reuters reported. The Arab League foreign ministers will meet on Sunday to discuss Syria and have suspended Syria's membership due to Assad's hostile handling of the uprising for his ousting.

Last week,Pinay golfer Jayvie Agojo dreams big, Saudi officials said they will act separately from the U.S. and arm the Syrian opposition, dimming the chances for a peace talk to end a civil war that has killed over 100,000 people, according to Reuters.

Opposition forces are being backed by the U.S., while Russia is the main arms supplier to Syria. The two co-sponsors of the planned meeting agreed in May to arrange Geneva 2 and call for a political transition in Syria, but did not define what Syrian President Assad's role will be, according to Reuters.

President Assad and Iran have stated they will not attend talks with preconditions, Reuters reported. The Gulf Arab states backing Syrian rebels have also deflected the idea of the peace talks after Brahimi said their rival Iran, which is President Assad's main ally, should also join the meeting.

According to Samir Nashar, an executive member of the Syrian National Coalition, the tension between forces will never allow this meeting to happen. The opposition coalition says it can only attend talks if either the U.N. Security Council, or Washington and Moscow, state publicly that Assad would step down in any transition.

"All these issues are getting tangled up into the other. Like the Saudis, we are very afraid that the United States' other interests in Iran will come at the cost of the Syrian cause. If ask me,wholesale authentic nfl jerseys, this meeting won't happen on November 23. It won't happen ever," Nashar said, according to Reuters.

Chris Phillips,cheap jerseys free shipping, a Middle East lecturer at the University of London, said that the U.S. is taking a "realistic stance" on the removal of Assad, even though its Arab Gulf allies are pressuring for more support, Reuters reported.

"The problem is what all the different sides think they're going to get out of Geneva. The opposition and the Gulf see the goal of it as removing Assad. Of course Assad,Seven people displaced following fire at Overlook Colony in Claymont, especially as he's in a position of power right now, won't accept that," Phillips said, according to Reuters. "We've already seen the West heading in this direction when they began negotiating with Assad to remove Syria's chemical weapons.

"Of course most (Western governments) want Assad removed, but the cost of removing him is more than these parties are willing to stomach," he said.
