A MASSAGE

AND A HUG

Just open up your arms

And open up your hearts.

Research shows that our skin is teeming

with nerve fibres which spring into action when we are

cuddled, hugged, massaged or gently touched. 

They transmit the information back to the brain’s emotional hub,

creating feelings of pleasure.

Did you know that, if you visualise, you can actually hug on the phone? ~ Shelly Long

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it’s from the heart. ~ Steve Irwin

A hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away. ~ Bil Keane

But remember,

a hug without a squeeze

is like apple pie without cheese.

ANGRY BIRDS LOVE TWEETMENT FOR VALENTINE’S DAY

Who is Jeremy Lin and What is Linsanity?

Full name: Jeremy Shu-How Lin

Jeremy Lin Quotes:

“I was only 5-3. Luckily I grew. Maybe I was meant to be a basketball player.”

“I have a job again, yesss!’

 ”Coach D’Antoni is an absolute offensive genius,” said Lin, whose 38 points represented half his season total from 29 games last year for Golden State. “He makes us look good.”

“I don’t think anyone, including myself, saw this coming,” Lin told The Times.

Quotes about Jeremy Lin

• “If you love sports, you have to love what Jeremy Lin is doing. Getting an opportunity and exploding.” ~ Steve Nash

• “I was like, ‘Wow, he had 25 in one game and everybody was going crazy.’ New York media, you know? And then it happened two more times and I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s good. It’s good.’ … Looking from the outside in, everybody’s pretty happy for him. It’s good to see something special for the first time.” ~  Metta World Peace — Ron Artest

• “I know who he is, but I don’t really know what’s going on too much with him.” ~ Kobe Bryant

• “I hope he continues to play great basketball, because in my short time with him, he was class and quality.” ~Mark Jackson

• For all of their star power, for all of their wealth, the man who may save the Knicks’ season earns the NBA minimum, sleeps on his brother’s couch and less than a month ago wore a uniform with “Erie” across the chest. ~ Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated

• So rare, so improbable. Everyone stayed inside the Garden, listened to Lin’s on-court interview over the Garden sound system. M-V-P, they chanted. M-V-P.People stayed in seats, screaming, yelling, snapping photos. Out there, all alone, those gangly arms, that baby face…well, Lin hardly looks the part.That’s the beauty of him, of this story. That nothing is how it’s supposed to be, how we’ve ever witnessed a star burst onto the scene. ~ Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo

• I didn’t know he could dunk,” teammate Tyson Chandler told The Times. “When he’s going in for it, I go: ‘No, Jeremy! Just lay the ball up.’ And all of a sudden he dunks it.”

• He’s the type of guy who should wear leather pants.” – Metta World Peace — Ron Artest

Jeremy Lin is the sensational point guard ( 6 feet three inches tall) who is sparking the NY Knicks of the National Basketball Association

No athletic scholarship out of high school

Harvard-educated

Lin finished his Harvard career as the first player in the history of the Ivy League to record at least 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406) and 200 steals (225).

Undrafted

Signed, but later dropped, by the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets without getting much of a chance to play, he was bought by the Knicks as a reserve point guard to help put their first choice through his paces.

The first American-born Asian player in the NBA since Wataru Misaka donned the orange and blue with the Knicks in 1947-48

Ratings on MSG network are up since Lin joined the lineup, and the NBA said some of its Asian TV partners have added Knicks games to their broadcast schedules so fans can see the league’s first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.

Is very religious ~ like Tim Tebow!

Plays like Steve Nash

From wikipedia:

Lin had a career night on February 4, 2012, when he scored 25 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists (against only 1 turnover) in a 99-92 Knicks victory over the Nets. The statistics for points, rebounds, and assists were all career highs for Lin. After the game, Knick coach Mike D’Antoni, while being interviewed by the MSG Network, said Lin has a point-guard mentality and “a rhyme and a reason for what he is doing out there”^[79]. In the subsequent game against the Utah Jazz, Lin had 28 points and eight assists, new career highs.^[80] On February 10, 2012, Lin scored a new career high 38 points and had seven assists, leading the Knicks in their victory over the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 92–85.^[81] He scored 89 points in his first three career starts, the most by any player since the merger between the American Basketball Association (ABA) and the NBA in 1976-77.^[82]
