Why I Found NBA 2K12 To Be On Point?

Hey everyone, I would like to just try my best in giving an honest critique about the new and I think, fresh NBA 2K12 video game for the X-Box 360 that came out on October 4, 2011. The staff at 2K Sports did a dynamic job in bringing one of the best simulations ever for NBA basketball, which does happen to be one of my favorite sports. So if you do not mind a little bit of knowledge on the game, just sit back with your seatbelt as we get ready to drive into the lane on this exciting game. First of all, I am going to start with the point of when you first turn the game on. The introduction starts out showing all the NBA greats all through history from Pistol Pete Maravich, to Dr. J, to the Big O, Oscar Robertson. It also helps with the mood to groove to the old school tune, "Basketball", by one of the best in old-school hip-hop, Kurtis Blow. Also, with the recent NBA lockout ending on November 26th of last year, I think that it will appeal to others who may have just drawn interest to "The Association".

Now, you are going to take over the game of basketball, and you can decide if you want to just play one quick game for fun, start a draft, create your own players, play online against more beginners or die-hard basketball fans, or start your own customized NBA season to hoist up your own Bill Russell championship trophy. If you are kind of or real rusty when it comes to knowing what buttons to push on your controller, you can refer to your "basic" manual that initially comes with the game. And I say "basic" because if you wish to know the more "advanced" controls, you would now have to download the entire manual. The link for that is..... www.2ksports.com/manual/NBA2K12 (sorry ladies and gents, boys and girls, gone are the days of getting a full guide with your game purchase)!! So, as far as the gameplay, the graphics are mind-blowing, from the detail of the stadium fans, stadium music, home crowds are very loud when the home team is ahead, they also boo loudly when you are losing at home also, in-game commentary, which is not repetitive at all, and the fluid movement of the players along with coaches on the sidelines. This to me is a top-notch simulation of b-ball, it may help motivate you to want to get on the court. Well everyone, I hope that you enjoyed my bird's eye view of this game, may it bring you to the point of remembering, "It's the NBA, and I still love this game".

Got Dust Problems? - 9 Particles That Are Frequently Found In Dust

Dust has been around for centuries, and even with all of our technological advances, it's still with us. The particles that it contains vary from one space to another, but there are some that are consistently found indoors. Here are 9 of the most common contributors to the problem.
Lint---Fabrics from clothes, rugs, bedding, upholstered pillows, and furniture all shed tiny bits of fabric. Cotton fabrics are well known for shedding.
Think about how many particles come off when you shake out just one piece of freshly laundered clothing. Over time there is a buildup of these tiny particles that eventually settle out of the air.
Paper---Opening mail, newspaper, magazines, and tearing paper can all contribute to these particles going into the air and eventually settling out of the air onto surfaces.
Pollen---Climate plays a huge part in when and how much you will be exposed to. Tree pollen starts first, in some climates as early as
Dirt---Sand, earth, and other particles from the outside air will find their way indoors through windows, garages, and doors as you come and go each day.
Most of these particles are heavy enough to settle out of the air pretty quickly, but they are easily sent airborne indoors again with normal daily activities of children, pets, and even grown-ups.
Bug Parts---This is not the most pleasant thing to acknowledge, but it is nearly impossible to keep all bugs outdoors. Silverfish, ants, and thousand legs (I'll stop there) often die indoors without us noticing. And you don't notice unless there is an infestation (please no).
So we may step on them or drop things where they are causing their little bodies to break into small pieces. Over time these parts become smaller and smaller as they dry out and disintegrate, and voila, body parts of bugs literally become part of the mix.
Dust Mites---These bugs are relentless in reproducing. They thrive in warm, dark, moist places. Some of their favorite places are your mattresses, pillows, upholstered furniture, and pet bedding.
Their food source is dander (dead flakes of skin) and since humans and warm-blooded pets produce dander there is an unlimited food supply for them.
Metal Shavings---How on earth could this be part of dust? If you have metal hinges on your doors, opening and closing them can cause small pieces of metal to come off with friction.
Pet And Human Hair---For humans, hair can fall out and accumulate when brushing, combing, changing clothes and other activities. Pets don't need to wait to be brushed or combed; they can just shake and send hair flying everywhere!
Even though it is light enough to fall to the ground, it can go airborne with air currents cause by normal activities in your home.
Mold and Mildew Spores---These spores are nature's way of decomposing elements and returning them to a natural state. If you are not allergic to them, they are harmless.
But they too can join the mix and are light enough to be inhaled, and cause problems for those who suffer with allergies, asthma, and other chronic respiratory conditions.
One of the best ways to continually clear the air of the particulates mentioned is to use high efficiency particle arresting filtration to remove airborne particles that are .3 microns in size or greater. Since many of the irritants trigger allergy symptoms, clearing the air can also help to clear up symptoms as well.
Remove the particles that create dust in your home and often cause allergies and asthma to flair with the air purifier that contains a HEPA filter and 3 other filters for particles. See the air purifier for dust now at http://purerair.com/dust_air_purifier.html
