PHOENIX, Ariz. -- Jerry Colangelo, the Phoenix Suns' CEO and chairman, will opine effortlessly about the state of the NBA and American basketball. But ask him about succeeding David Stern as the NBA's next commissioner and he dances as adroitly as Muhammad Ali.
"David's plan is to stay there indefinitely and we're the same age, so that doesn't bode well for being his successor," Colangelo said with a laugh. "I guess I would say this. I'd serve the NBA in any capacity I was asked to serve."
Next to Stern, the most trusted name in the NBA is Colangelo's. The Sporting News has named Colangelo NBA Executive of the Year an unprecedented four times.
If it weren't for Colangelo, Phoenix's sports scene would be nonexistent. He's had a hand in bringing practically every sports team to Phoenix, from the Suns to the Coyotes to the Mercury.
Few people in sports can get things done and fix problems the way Colangelo can. That's why USA Basketball put the Hall of Famer in charge of reconstructing the U.S. national team. That's why people are hopeful Colangelo will put a group together to buy the Chicago Cubs -- something he admitted to pursuing earlier this month. And, it's why he is supremely fit to save NBA players from their worst enemy -- themselves.
Given Colangelo's reputation and the influence he will wield over American basketball over the next few years, it seemed appropriate to solicit his opinions on all the relevant issues concerning the NBA.
Known for his honesty, Colangelo didn't disappoint. Here he tells us why the increased effort to mainstream the NBA is a good thing, why the league's marriage to hip-hop was getting out of hand, whether the NBA is criticized unfairly because of race and why the U.S. losing to Greece in the World Championships last summer was a fluke.
What's your perception of the NBA right now?
We've gone through a lot of growth pains. The one great thing about the NBA has been the ability to adjust and do what was necessary to keep everything going in a positive direction. It always starts at the top. Because we've had strong leadership and good management in the NBA, we were always ahead of the other leagues in being progressive. We were the first ones out there internationally. We really marketed our game, our sport, our players before anyone else even thought about it. With all of the raps -- and there have been many -- against our league and the other issues, I think in the big picture this league has done an incredible job over the last four decades of building and growing and creating value and interest. I'm prejudiced, but I consider it the best game out there.
So why do you think the NBA's issues and problems are always magnified more than any other sports league's?
The great appeal about our game is that you get to know the players so well. If you go to an NBA game, I mean, you see [our players]. You see them in living color, however they are. Football, you don't see anything, except the face and a pair of hands. They're covered. I understand that if you look at the NFL and the rap sheets and all the issues they've had, the NBA pales to that. But the NBA is a black-dominated sport and, invariably, the question comes up, do they get the raps because of the high percentage of black players? Well, really, that same percentage is applicable in the NFL, or close to it, and it's a nonissue. Again, I think it's the high visibility of our players. Our players are really well-known. That's not true with most NFL guys. I hate to say it, but it's only a handful that could be recognized by comparison.
Do you think today's mainstream sports consumer has a difficult time identifying with African-American athletes?
I guess I would say to you, if we're generalizing, I think the average consumer out there who follows sports has difficulty identifying with guys regardless of color because of the money they make. That's a big issue. It's hard to relate to what the average guy is making in sports. People are working in the factory trying to make $300 a week. No. 2 is, it's exacerbated if someone has any inclination to have a problem with someone's race. And when these athletes are making the kind of money they're making and they happen to be African-American, well, for those people, for that segment of the population that might be prejudiced, that's an issue. But I wouldn't indict everybody. I know not everyone feels that way.
So how have the new policies -- the dress code and the increased number of technical fouls for players who argue with officials -- helped the NBA bridge the gap with the mainstream?
First of all when you have a system, you have to have rules. You have to have regulations. And so when something goes astray -- be it a player or a fight -- how players look, how they act, if you need to deal with it in terms of discipline, you need to. Everybody has the same interests at heart. How do we continue to improve our game and the image of our players? It's by having rules and rules of conduct. As far as the dress code is concerned, we had gone so far the other way. We had let it go so much, it was less than appealing -- let's put it that way. The image that was out there regarding our players in terms of how they look, what they said, how they acted was not positive, even though it was embellished a lot.
If the NHL instituted a dress-code policy, would there ever have been any discussion about it?
One of the things that happened in the NBA, that's not true with the other sports, is that we kind of played off the hip-hop generation as a league and so did some of our athletes. We got into it in other businesses. They were doing records and doing this and doing that and the attire. That became kind of a look. And so that kind of created a little bit of a monster in my opinion. From my standpoint, you want to appeal to all segments of society in terms of fans. You want the young kids. You want kids from every socioeconomic background to be NBA fans.
Was it a mistake for the NBA to forge such a strong relationship with hip-hop culture?
I think there was some risk involved. There was so much emphasis on it. But shoe companies and people who sold a lot of product, they saw a marketplace there and they tied up with the NBA to sell themselves and the product. I would rather look at the past and say, you learn from those experiences and you go forward. You never go backwards. I think we've learned a lot of lessons along the way about who we are and how we should promote ourselves and what needs to be done as we go forward. As we go forward, I think we're in good shape.
So, given the exposure and the racial makeup of the league, how careful does the league have to be when it institutes rules that some people interpret as anti-African-American?
Well, personally, I don't see color as being a determinant in what decision is made at all. You're always aware of the potential for people to take issue with a decision when it's made. It's almost become common for people to go there right away. That's even unfair. Ninety-nine percent of the decisions that are made are based on the merits of what needs to be done. It has nothing to do with anything other than that.
How much has the return of team basketball helped the NBA's image?
In the past, we really emphasized promoting our stars. At the time, it was probably the appropriate thing to do. It's probably time to de-emphasize superstars and sell more team concept because that sells too. The more exposure and visibility a lot of guys on the team have, the better it is for them as individuals, the better it is for an organization, the better it is for interest, in my opinion, rather than putting your hopes on a star. Spread the wealth a little bit. We should balance that out a little bit. I think the team concept has a way of making that happen. I'll switch over to USA Basketball. In putting together a team, we weren't putting together an all-star team. So when you talk about the composition of the team, there is only one ball, so many scorers on the team. You need defenders, distributors, shot-blockers, rebounders, guys who are willing to accept roles. Because if you have 12 stars on the roster, it's not that easy.
But the U.S. team that was assembled does have a lot of star power.
Oh, I know that, but it's not 12. Now, the team that everyone compares every team to was the Dream Team. That happened to be a team with a lot of stars, but they were mature. They were veterans. They had been there. They had won championships. It was a different era, a different time. When that team stepped out on the floor, the opposition was in awe. So much has happened since '92 that teams internationally are not in awe. They've now established themselves as players in the NBA. And they know they can play with our guys. The times have changed. It's even more important now to have the right composition because putting a group of stars together would be even more difficult to get over the hump.
I hesitate to use this word, but what went "wrong" at the FIBA World Championships last summer?
Nothing really went wrong, and I'll tell you why I say that. One of the things I wanted to do was change the perception people had of us around the world, as Americans, as basketball players. Our image was really poor. Where we came off of in terms of the Olympics in Greece, our own fans were booing our players. Pretty sad. It was kind of overwhelming to think you could change that attitude and perception, and I had a plan. I wanted commitments for three years from our coaches and our players for the World Championships and the Olympics. I wanted our guys to handle themselves appropriately. I was concerned about what they said, what they did, how they acted, what they looked like. I told them there wouldn't be any nonsense. This is what I expect. This is the rule. When this is all said and done, I promise you it's going to be one of the great experiences of your life. If we're successful, you'll be able to look back at that and say it was all worth it.
As I look back on what happened, people were cheering for us in China, in Korea, in Japan. We were 14-1. We beat everyone by 20 or 25. We had a bad game where we did a very poor job defensively in defending the pick-and-roll against Greece. That's all that really happened. We were 14-1. We changed the attitude. We did all the things we set out to do and I feel empty because we didn't get the gold medal. When that game ended against Greece, in the locker room, I know how they all felt. We don't ever want to feel that way again as long as we're together. I think that's going to bond us even more.
Is there anything you would do differently?
There isn't anything I would do differently. It had nothing to do with the player-personnel. It had nothing to do with not having the right talent. We did a poor job in preparation in defending the pick-and-roll against Greece. It's as simple as that. And a team beat us that shouldn't have. They deserved to win because we didn't get the job done. If we played them 10 times, we'd win nine out of 10.
So what is the next step the league has to take?
I think the game itself is in good shape. We have some franchises that need some attention -- New Orleans, Portland, some of the smaller-market teams that need some help and direction. You're only as healthy as your weakest link. So bolstering some of the franchises and taking a look at the Las Vegas market and what's going to happen there, I believe a team will go there and should go there. The question is who and on what basis. Continue to grow the sport internationally. I think technology plays a big role in where we go from here. The statistic that just blows me away is we now have 300 million people living in the United States and 300 million Chinese play basketball in China.
A lot of people aren't comfortable with a franchise being in Vegas. Why do you support it?
I think the market would be a very good market for an NBA team. I think it would be very successful -- that's the reason I say that. Much more successful than some of the smaller markets we have now in the NBA.
And the gambling?
I think that, over time, that will take care of itself. I understand the hurdle. I understand what our position has been and I support it. But I think a time will come where we'll look back and say, at the time, that was the way it was, but it will be addressed.

This review is from: JVC HAS400W On-Ear Headband Headphones, White
Pros: Sound: flat frequency response 200-20kHz. Flat & fast spectral decay rate. Low harmonic and phase distortion. Good efficiency, flat impedance response. Great tight bass due to fast spectral decay and low harmonic and phase distortions. The bass goes LOW. Not as earth-destroying as HiFiMAN or Audeze obviously, but for a 40mm on-ear I'm impressed. Carbon nanotunes at work.
Cons: The bass is ~3dB above subjectively "flat" response. The bass starts out even higher at first, especially in the lowest lows, but as they burn in the bass boost gets very flat up through ~150Hz, and in general it settles down and the spectral decay also catches up with the mids & highs so the bass sounds tighter despite not having as "diggy" low-lows.
Other Thoughts: These took about 40 hours to burn in most of the way. Start out with the loudness soft for the first day or two of burn-in, and then work your way up toward your usual maximum listening level. Do yourself a favor and use a player with ReplayGain to do the burn-in so there isn't any super loudness war'd junk that plays in the middle of the night and pwns your headphones. These do have a lot of power handling, but be careful anyway when doing unattended things with any gear. Heck, you might even like ReplayGain enough to use it just while listening.

She was married to King Philip II of Spain. They did not have any children, so when Mary died after only five years on the throne, she was succeeded by her sister, Elizabeth I.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. — Monticello, Mount Vernon, Hyde Park, east Bakersfield.
That last one might be short on pillars and porticoes, but it's good for twice as many presidents as each of the others.
For about three months in 1949, an oil-field equipment salesman named George Bush lived on a quiet street in east Bakersfield with his pregnant wife, Barbara, and their 3-year-old son, also named George. Last month, Kern County officials approved the transformation of the family's modest rental — a two-bedroom white-frame house in a neighborhood now heavily Latino — into a museum.
"We thought it was important that the house do some good," said its owner, Republican political consultant Mark Abernathy, who plans to build a reading center for neighborhood children in the museum's back yard. "It's almost like a duty."

In a town where the biggest luminaries have been the likes of Buck Owens and the Buckaroos, the fleeting, long-ago sojourn of the Bush family left barely a point of light. At the Greater Bakersfield Convention and Visitors Bureau, officials said they hadn't heard about any Bush museum.
Across from the erstwhile Bush place at 2101 Monterey St., Lupe Fernandez was incredulous when she learned that the Bushes had lived in the neighborhood: "Yeah, right — you're dreaming!" she said.
A real-estate broker on her way to work, Fernandez glanced wistfully at the long-vacant, chain-link-enclosed cottage that played a bit part in the pageant of U.S. history. "My kids have gone over to play in that yard I don't know how many times," she said. "Last July Fourth, we put on a little fireworks show over there."
When it opens as a museum in 2007, the Bush home will welcome busloads of students gazing at furnishings of the late 1940s and walking in the footsteps of the presidents known to insiders as 41 and 43. At 950 square feet, the Bush house is bigger than Abe Lincoln's log cabin but still on the smallish side. Three houses its size could easily fit into the East Room of the White House.
Guiding a visitor through the property, Abernathy pointed out the coved ceilings, the scrollwork on shelves and cabinets, the original tile on the bathroom and kitchen counters, and the hardwood floors mostly covered by green shag carpeting.
"Our goal is to restore it to exactly the way it was when they were here in 1949," said Abernathy, adding that help will be provided by the Bush family, the Bush Presidential Library in College Station, Texas, and the Kern County Museum.
There will be Bush family photos — one shows a beaming 3-year-old W. on a wooden horse with a cowboy gun — as well as items from the oil fields that made Bakersfield boom.
Aware of the Bush home's historic value, Abernathy bought it from its longtime owners in 2000 for $65,000. He said its restoration and the classroom addition will cost about $500,000, funded from private donations.

Maybe Sandra Bullock & Kate Winslet's hubbies weren't feeling appreciated
Actresses Sandra Bullock and Kate Winslet are having marriage trouble, generating rumors of an Oscar-winner's curse, reported by the LA Times (below.) These women have it all – they're gorgeous, talented, smart, successful, and as far as I can see, fun. What could possibly motivate their husbands to stray?
Perhaps the guys haven't been feeling appreciated.
I've been doing research for an article I'm writing for Make it Better Magazine about what men really want from their wives and partners. It hasn't been easy; guys aren't comfortable talking about their needs. Being needy is a sissy thing.
But when the stoic clams finally open up, the thing they all say they want more of from their mate isn't sex (well, they wouldn't mind) – it's appreciation. They want to be recognized for their work, their contribution to the family, and they want to feel valued for being, well, the man.
According to Marriage and Family Therapist David Klow, for some successful men, home can be the place they feel the least validated. They spend their days in high-powered careers commanding respect and admiration, then come home to their family where they are treated as incompetents. Klow calls this the "King of the Boardroom, Jester of the Bedroom" syndrome.
I'm not saying Bullock and Winslet have treated their husbands like fools – Hollywood marriages have unique pressures of their own. I'm just pointing out that while men may not always be the best communicators, they have emotional needs just like we women do.
Maybe we owe it to them to pay more attention.
Just days after last year's Oscar winner Kate Winslet announced her split with hubby Sam Mendes comes news that the marriage of the newest champ, Sandra Bullock, may be on the rocks. In Touch Weekly reports that Bullock's hubby, Jesse James, had an affair on the sly while Bullock was filming "The Blind Side."
Now Oscarologists wonder: Is there really a kiss of death curse associated with winning best actress?
Over the past 12 years, eight of the best-actress champs busted up with their lovers after winning: Kate Winslet (won for 2008), Reese Witherspoon (2005), Hilary Swank (1999, 2005), Charlize Theron (2003), Halle Berry (2001), Julia Roberts (2000), Gwyneth Paltrow (1998), Helen Hunt (1997). Five of the splits occurred less than a year after their Oscar triumphs (Winslet from hubby Mendes, Witherspoon from hubby Ryan Phillippe, Swank from hubby Chad Lowe, Paltrow from boyfriend Ben Affleck, Roberts from boyfriend Benjamin Bratt). Berry's break-up with Eric Benet occurred 18 months after winning; Hunt split with Hank Azaria less than two years later.
It's ironic, looking back, at how effusively the stars gushed at the Oscar podium while thanking their men on the eve of their relationship's end.
Witherspoon: "I want to say thank you to my wonderful husband."
Swank in 2005: "Chad, you're my everything. Thank you for your support. It means the world."
Berry: "My husband, who is the joy of my life."
Bullock to James: "You get dressed up in monkey suits and you sit at a table with people you don't know. I love you so much, and you're really hot. And I want you so much!"
Can it be a mere coincidence that these women's romantic lives go kaput so soon after the biggest triumph of their careers? Is it because victory goes to their heads and these women become impossible divas to live with? Or is it because their men are overly macho types who can't tolerate being upstaged by their female partner's success? The latter may be a contributing factor in the split of Witherspoon and Phillippe. There were reports that Phillippe looked miserable and pouted all night at the parties — where he obviously didnt want to be — after Witherspoon won. Ryan should've exulted in his own victory too. That same night his film "Crash" won best picture, but he didn't win a statuette himself. Some observers believe that bothered him a lot as Reese flashed her glittering golden boy right and left, leaving her lover boy sitting alone in a corner, looking downcast.

A number of carplanes (aka: roadable aircraft, flying car) have recently appeared on the market or will be appearing soon. The purpose of this site is to contrast and compare these vehicles and to provide the latest information on each. It is an unbiased site that is not funded by any of the manufacturers.
Edited by Jeffrey W. Buckholz, PhD, P.E., PTOE
This site was last updated on 1.11.16
Below is a summary of currently available carplanes, or carplanes that are expected to hit the market sometime in the next 5 years. There are 8 real competitors and I have ranked them from 1 (best) to 8 (worst) based on their relative overall attractiveness.
ITEC has put sales of the Maverick on "hold" to concentrate on other activities within their organization so it has been moved to last place on the list.
I have removed the DARPA ARES vehicle and the Israeli AIR MULE vehicle from the list since it has become obvious that these vehicles will be VTOL (Vertical Take-Off and Landing) vehicles rather than true carplanes. They will not solve the "drive through weather problem" as discussed under the IDEAL CARPLANE tab.

Seattle's new designated player subbed on in the 70th minute less than 24 hours after arriving in the city.
Less than 24 hours after arriving to Seattle, new Sounders FC designated player Obafemi Martins was in the game for Saturday's rivalry game against the Portland Timbers.
The 28-year-old forward came off the bench in the 70th minute of the 1-1 tie to a rousing ovation in front of 40,150 at CenturyLink Field.
Martins, an instant crowd favorite, replaced midfielder Mario Martinez and played up front alongside Eddie Johnson in a game that saw the Timbers tie the score in the 90th minute.
"It was the loudest it's ever been at the Clink when he came out," said Johnson. "The fans know the importance he has on this team and I thought he had a good debut. … He showed in the 20 minutes what he can do and bring to the team. We're excited he is here."

An admittedly tired Martins called the Seattle crowd some of the best fans he's played in front of.
"I've been playing for a lot of clubs, and it's different here," he said.
The new DP nearly helped the Sounders double their lead in the 80th minute, when he collected a pass from midfielder Steve Zakuani on the left side and just missed on a cross to Johnson in front of the goal.
Martins' stay in Seattle in the short term won't last long, however. He is scheduled to report to the Nigerian national team Sunday for a World Cup qualifier on March 23 against Kenya.
"Of course we appreciate his commitment," Zakuani said. "Now he has to fly back all the way halfway across the world again. I think it was good for him to be here. … Now he knows what to expect when he comes back for good."
Sounders to lose more to national teams
Midfielder Mario Martinez (Honduras) and Johnson (U.S.) will also be leaving shortly for World Cup qualifiers with their respective national teams, according to coach Sigi Schmid. Schmid added that midfielder Brad Evans is on a standby list for the U.S.
"It's frustrating," Schmid said. "It just delays it another week because we can't train together."
• MLS commissioner Don Garber told reporters in New York that the league is hoping to give schedule relief to the Sounders and Los Angeles Galaxy to help with preparations for the CONCACAF Champions League semifinals in April.
Seattle is scheduled to play five games in 15 days, including CCL games on April 2 and 9.
• Osvaldo Alonso made his 110th MLS start Saturday, breaking the franchise record (he was tied at 109 with Fredy Montero, who is on loan with Colombia's Millonarios this season).

Model, Space Shuttle, McDonnell Douglas / Martin Marietta Reusable Concept, 1:80
NASA studied this McDonnell Douglas/Martin Marietta concept for a fully reusable space transportation system during the Shuttle research effort in 1969-1972. This two-stage system featured two piloted fly-back vehicles, a booster and an orbiter, both using liquid propellant. The booster would carry the orbiter to a set altitude, then detach to return to base. After separation, the orbiter's engines would ignite for final ascent into orbit. This concept had a second configuration for heavy payloads (such as large space station components) that did not need an astronaut crew; the booster, augmented by six solid rocket boosters, would launch a large disposable cargo carrier. NASA transferred a variety of concept models to the Museum after settling on the final Space Shuttle design.

2012-2014 Nissan GTR Front J-Hook 390mm Curved Vane Rotor Upgrade by AP Racing
- New Front 390x34mm 72 Curve Vane Front Discs
- New Casting Designed for Heavy Sports Cars
- Front (Pair) - J-Hook Slot Pattern
- Features Strengthened Disc Flange and Mounting Hats w/12 Mounting Points
- Includes Front Discs, Aluminum Mounting Hats and All Hardware
- (Replaces OE 390x32.6mm Discs)
Mfg Part # : NIS3920AJ
The GT-R's original equipment (OE) brake discs just don't have staying power when pushed to the limits. Premature brake disc cracking is something no one wants to see after a day of tracking sessions. It didn't take long for many GT-R owners to realize the OE brake discs aren't quite up to par on an otherwise incredible car.
In response to customer demand, STILLEN offers upgraded AP Racing discs that mount straight onto the OE brake hats. These discs are track proven (at Nürburgring, Silverstone and others) on GT-R's in extreme conditions by professional drivers. They not only last much longer without cracking, drivers often report improved brake pedal feel and better pedal modulation. Even better - these upgraded discs cost less than standard OE factory replacements!
These discs are from an AP Racing casting specifically designed for heavy sports cars. It uses a 72 curved vane design, with the OE air gap of 17mm and thicker walls. The result is a disc with higher thermal capacity which is welcome on a vehicle that sees lots of heavy track use and reaches high disc temperatures.
AP Racing also beefed up the disc flange and bell by using 12 mounting points vs. the OE 10 points.
NIS3910AJ: 2008-2011 Nissan GTR Front Disc Assemblies
Includes: discs, hardware, bells and spacers. Replaces OE 380x34mm disc
NIS3920AJ: 2012+ Nissan GT-R Front Disc Assemblies
Includes: discs, hardware, and bells. Replaces OE 390x32.6mm disc
• Top quality, proprietary iron alloy with multi-stage thermal processing.
• Curved-vane core (72 vanes) for better thermal management under extreme use. Improved cooling over the OE pillar vane design.
• Available in both Slotted and J-Hook Patterns to improve pad bite and resist cracking under severe use.
• Precisely balanced at high RPM for smooth operation at any vehicle speed.
• Friction faces finished on the latest generation twin-turning equipment, better DTV (Disc Thickness Variation) and less runout than typical double-disc grinding machines.
• Includes fresh hardware for track-day confidence every day.
• Added bonus: lower priced than the standard OE discs!
Partnering with legendary AP Racing is a huge benefit when developing upgrades for the most aggressive drivers. Taking a walk down a NASCAR pit lane seems like strolling though an AP Racing outdoor showroom. It's the same with Formula One, LeMans prototypes, WRC, Group N and more worldwide. Now you can have championship-winning AP Racing technology on your GT-R!
About STILLEN Parts & Accessories
Steve Millen Sportparts, Inc. and STILLEN humbly started their race to the front of the pack in 1986. Starting with aftermarket mini-truck appearance packages, we quickly found ourselves fulfilling customer's requests to build products for other vehicles such as vans and full-sized trucks.
With that came performance parts, suspension pieces, and upgraded brake products such as big brake systems. Capitalizing on his racing career, and knowing what it took to make sports cars perform like no other, it was only natural for Steve Millen to branch out into the import car scene. Over two decades later, we offer a full array of products encompassing styling, performance, handling, and braking products for just about any car, truck, or SUV.

We are a team of photographers who will stay with you through your whole day, recording it all, your makeup, hair, ceremony, reception, everything and more.
We are Ken Douglas and Vesta Irene and we are Wedding Shots. No matter how big or small your wedding, we would love to be the photographers on your special day.
Vesta is an excellent portrait photographer and loves shooting children as well as weddings and Ken shoots in sort of a photojournalistic style, so between the two of us, you'll get an artistic and natural blend of photographic styles from two photographers who believe every photograph matters.
We believe wedding photography is an art unto itself and that photographers are like painters, using a camera instead of brush and easel. What we see through the view finder is our canvas. We look for candid looks, subtle nuance and raw emotion. Some shots are obvious, some are not. Anybody with a camera can take the obvious photos, we like to think, because we've been shooting for so long, that we can find those special shots, the pictures you'll cherish your whole life through, the ones your children will one day show your grandchildren.
When documenting a wedding we like to start with the bride, so we can capture the moments leading up to the ceremony—make up, wedding dress, zipping it up, shots with the bride and bridesmaids and any other behind the scenes shots, you know, the butterflies and excitement kind. We believe these shots are as important to telling the story of your wedding day as the actual wedding itself.
During your special day we try to blend in, but there will be a few times when we have to position people for portraits. We will try to do this as politely and as efficiently as possible, because although we know you want portraits, you don't want a photographer getting in the way.
Lastly we know that selecting a wedding photographer is one of the most important decisions you can make for your wedding. After the music has faded, the dances are over, and the cake is gone, you'll be left with your photographs and your memories. We hope once you look at our work you will have the confidence to use us as your wedding photographers. If you pick us, we won't just show up for a couple hours, we'll be there the whole day through, till the last song's been sung, till the bride and groom drive away with that just married sign on the back of their car.
As we said above, an important part of a bride's special day is getting ready, with either mom or her bridesmaids helping her into and lacing up her dress.
The above photo of April getting ready for her wedding is in sort of a cross between sepia and black and white, which Ken favors a lot. But, of course, we shot it in color too and we delivered both versions to April.
We think it's important for us to get behind the officiant if at all possible, because we think a bride would like to see photos of her and her groom with her guests behind her. In the above photo of Kayla and David we asked the priest if he'd mind and he was good with it, as was the reverend in the photo below at Laura and Jade's wedding. In fact, he even stepped out of the way so we could get the shot. How cool is that?
This photo and the one below are from Laura and Jade's Minot, North Dakota wedding. We shot their engagement shoot and they liked the photos enough to have us do their wedding. We were gonna fly, but we love road trips. We figured two days to get there, two days in a motel and two days back. However, we did not reckon on snow, snow and more snow and a blizzard too. It's a good thing we decided to make a mini vacation out of the trip and left three days early.
We met the blizzard, or rather the blizzard met us in Custer, South Dakota. We spent two days in a Motel 8, where weren't too bad, considering. Got a lot of reading done. Then we drove on up to Minot for the wedding.
All of our photographs, every single one, is processed in Lightroom and in Photoshop. That's where a lot of the art of wedding photography is, in the developing. We like to think of ourselves as artists, but we understand that even though a bride might enjoy our artistic black and white photos of her wedding, she wants the color versions too.
Megan and Steve gott married on a bright day, just a few weeks before summer, which is the absolute best time of year. Summer evokes memories of play and fun and no school and Megan wears that look well. Her smile is golden and real, like sunshine raining down and Steve is a lucky, lucky man. It was more than a pleasure for us when we got to photograph their wedding.
Pam and Albert got married in Zephyr Cove up at gorgeous Lake Tahoe. This photo was taken just seconds after the ceremony. Pam, as you can see, was a beautiful bride. And you have to admit Albert is pretty darned handsome. Together, they made Tahoe glow just a little brighter. And just a little is a lot, when you think about it, because Lake Tahoe is an awful big lake.
Though you can't tell, because the background is blurred out, Jane and Carlos also got married in beautiful lake Tahoe. This shot was taken just after the kiss and you can see in the look on their faces, just how happy they are.
A bride's wedding reception is almost as important as the ceremony. She wants photos of her first dance with her new husband, wants to see the smile on his faces, like Brett's here, as he twirls her around the dance floor.
She also wants to see the smiles on her guests faces as they fete her during her reception and we strive to get every guest in our photos, both candid shots and them smiling too.
We have known Brett forever and we were very exited to shoot his wedding. He couldn't have found a better match. Wanji is wonderful in every way.
Jess and Dan got married right next to the Truckee River and right after the ceremony, Jess said, "I'm never going to wear this dress again and I want photos of us in the river." Then she walked into the Truckee.
Of Course, we followed.
Have you ever seen a happier smile than Sam is wearing here or a more wistful look of love than Dave is wearing? Sam and Dave are truly a match made in heaven.
This is a photo of Ashley and Kevin, who were going to get married on a bright sunny day in Carson City, but just as the ceremony was about to begin, the heavens opened up and for about an hour it was as if we we're bugs under a waterfall. So everybody waited till the rain abated. The ceremony was fun, the reception was a gosh darn, foot stomping, good time and we took gazillions of photos and this one of them right after Ashley smeared some cake in Kevin's face.
Ashley wanted to incorporate her and her friend's trucks into her wedding, so she and her groom walked between them to the alter, which was out in a gorgeous pasture. I guess you could say, those trucks were her aisle. Above, you can see Ash in front of her truck. Sure it's true, a girl needs sugar and spice and everything nice, but it can't hurt if she's got a Chevy truck too.
Jamie and Jared got married at Kings Beach, up at beautiful Lake Tahoe. It was bright and sunny and the beach was full of people. Oh know! Where are they, the people in the background? What happened to them? Photoshop, that's what.
This photo and the one below were taken at Amy and Mitch's Graeagle, California wedding. If you look on a map, Graeagle seems to be out in the middle of Nowhere, Northern California, so one might think there isn't much going on there
However, if one thought that, one would be wrong. Graeagle is gorgeous and they found a wonderful venue.That wonderful venue was a brewery, which turned out to be a good thing, because sometimes, for reasons beyond anybody's control, a wedding might start late. And when that happens, there always seems to be some grumpy people.
However, we learned a neat thing. If your ceremony's gonna start late and everybody's got beer, nobody notices. In fact, everybody seems to appreciate the late start and they sure as heck seem to appreciate the ceremony a whole heck of a lot more.
Those big stainless steel vat things behind Amy and Rich, they're full of beer. Good beer. Real good beer. Now, I don't know just how much the beer had to do with it, but this ceremony was short, sweet and funny as all get out.
Here you see the bride and groom dancing like nobody's watching. Heck, they're dancing like nobody's in the room. If you're gonna dance, that's the way to do it.
The photos after the ceremony and before the reception are something every bride wants. She wants to look back and see herself with her new husband, with her bridesmaids and groomsmen, with her friends and with her mom and dad.
We've posted a few photos here for you to check out and if you'd like to see more, you can click on the blue weddings link on above on the right side of this page.
Thank you for considering us,
Ken and Vesta

The latter composes ideal letters for an ideal nymph, only to plumb with his words the depths of passion. The philosopher tests the coldness of his gaze, to see how far he can undermine the fortress of bigotry."

"I have never doubted the truth of signs, Adso; they are the only things man has with which to orient himself in the world. What I did not understand is the relation among signs. . . . I behaved stubbornly, pursuing a semblance of order, when I should have known well that there is no order in the universe." "But in imagining an erroneous order you still found something. . . ." "What you say is very fine, Adso, and I thank you. The order that our mind imagines is like a net, or like a ladder, built to attain something. But afterward you must throw the ladder away, because you discover that, even if it was useful, it was meaningless. . . . The only truths that are useful are instruments to be thrown away."

Today I realize that many recent exercises in "deconstructive reading" read as if inspired by my parody. This is parody's mission: it must never be afraid of going too far. If its aim is true, it simply heralds what others will later produce, unblushing, with impassive and assertive gravity.

A few weeks ago ds and I were in the store and we saw a suitcase he loved. It was shaped like a NASA Space Shuttle. He really wanted it for school, but it was a suitcase not a backpack so we didn't get it. He would have to always use the handle and roll it as there were no straps or top handle.
So I have been looking for a similar one that was an actual backpack. He's not really into space and such there is just a joke behind it so it has to look like a space shuttle not just space themed.
Does anyone know where I could get one? My searches have come up empty and school starts the 28th and he has his heart set on a space shuttle bag

Lean and BPM: Two peas in a pod?
SUNIL AGGARWAL 270005B41K email@example.com | | Tags:  bpm business_process_manageme... lean
3 Comments | 3,473 Visits
Recently I have seen a resurgence of customers adopting lean techniques in their projects. In general, these have been very successful due to speed of delivery, quality of deliverables and output, and the ability to drive fundamental change to the business process being implemented. The result is significant and can offer quantitative cost reduction.
However, lean practitioners tend to do their utmost to avoid any involvement of IT in their delivery schedules, mainly due to the fear that changes cannot be achieved within the timelines. My belief is that the disciplines of business process management (BPM) and lean should be complementary. Lean allows customers to define and deliver process change by uncovering waste. BPM also delivers these results by validating that the implementation of the process is actually working in the best way. It does this by the looking at the actual implementation details—the quantitative data associated with the implementation. Critically, this usually comes from using the business activity monitoring (BAM) part of any BPM solution. This can highlight bottlenecks as well as suboptimal patterns.
So the question is, which one should be done first?
BPM should be seen as a set of tools to help a lean engagement. The lean method is sound and provides a solid mechanism to drive efficiency. However, I think there are two major downsides to relying on lean alone.
First, the lean process provides no real understanding of which process to start off with among the myriad business units of an organization and the prioritization of these. Decisions are typically made based on the "who shouts loudest" method.
Second, by not looking at the systems layer in detail, major efficiency drivers can be missed. BPM helps with both of these. BPM allows lean to both prioritize the order of processes and give the practitioner real operational metrics of detailed process information—some of which is hidden as "black box IT stuff."
So, the answer is simply to do both. First, implement BPM in order to gain insight into the environment and help to prioritize efficiencies. Use lean techniques to change the processes and gain value, and then use BPM to implement some of the level 2 IT changes.
Have you been using lean techniques? How do you think lean works in concert with BPM? Please share your thoughts here or on Twitter.

As the son of a magistrate, Sergio Tofano followed legal studies. At the same time, he studied theater in Rome. Starting in 1909, Tofano played with several theater groups. At the same time, he took on a career as an illustrator under the pseudonym Sto. He started out illustrating covers for Il Giornalino della Domenica. From 1914 to 1923, he was one of the main collaborators on the humorous and satirical periodical, Il Numero. In 1917, for Il Corriere dei Piccoli, he started his series 'Bonaventura', which he drew until 1953. Sto also used Bonaventura in several theatre plays, as well as a movie

OKC Thunder: Ronnie Brewer acquired, Eric Maynor dealt on trade deadline
Minutes before Thursday's NBA trading deadline, the Oklahoma City Thunder completed two deals that could help boost its bench both now and in the future.
Reserve guard Eric Maynor was sent to Portland, and the Thunder acquired swingman Ronnie Brewer from New York in exchange for a future second-round pick, The Oklahoman has learned.
In exchange for Maynor, the Thunder will receive what is known as a trade exception, which allows a team that is over the salary cap to acquire a future salary up to the value of the exception without matching salaries. The exception is valued at roughly $2.5 million. Under league rules, the Thunder will have one calendar year to use the exception.
Brewer, a 6-foot-7 guard/forward, is in his seventh NBA season after previous stints with Utah, Memphis and Chicago. Brewer is known as a defensive specialist and holds career averages of 8.4 points, three rebounds, 1.7 assists and 1.3 steals. He's played in 464 career games, starting 301 of them.
The addition of Brewer, 27, figures to give the Thunder's second string some much-needed support in the form of experience and additional defense.
Maynor was set to become a restricted free agent this summer, and it was unlikely that he was going to be re-signed. He lost his backup job to Reggie Jackson in mid-December after being slow to recover from a torn ACL he sustained in January 2012.
In 37 games with the Thunder this season, Maynor averaged 2.8 points, 0.5 rebounds and two assists while shooting 31.3 percent, all career lows.
Maynor's departure leaves the Thunder with only two point guards remaining on the 15-man roster. It's likely the team will explore options to bring in a third guard before the playoffs begin.

I am trying to login using the Online Services Sign-In Assistant.
It keeps telling me I have the wrong username and password. I am the administrator for our online services and have verified my username and password by signing in online.
I have tried signing out online and restarting my computer. I still get the message that my username or password is incorrect when trying to use the Sign-In Assistant.
Is there a separate login to use for the Online Services Sign-In Assistant? Why won't it log me in?
I have verified several times that I am using the correct username and password!
Please Help.
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Lori,
I know you want to setup your desktop with Office 365 account, you have downloaded the Sign in assistant but you couldn't login your account for setting up your desktop.
In this situation, I'd like to confirm the following things:
1. Which browser are you use to Login MOP (Microsoft Online Portal), is it IE?
2. If not, can you log into your Office 365 account in IE?
For troubleshooting this issue, I would suggest you clear cache and cookies of your IE browser and try to run the desktop setup again.
To do this, Open your IE browser, Click the Tools button , point to Safety, and then click Delete browsing history. Select Temporary Internet Files and Cookies, uncheck Preserve Favorites website data check box if you had added the .onmicrosoft.com domain as favorite, click Delete.
If the problem still occurs, you may try to perform a clean boot by referring to How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7.
If you have other questions, please feel free to post on the forum.

Hi Lori,
Any updates on this issue? Have you resolved this issue or do you need any further assistant?
Evan Zhang
I have exactly the same issue. Only deference is that is have a demo-account. But I couldn't find anything about not having access with the online services sing-In tool if you have a demo account. I had an other account login, from someone who visited, that could login without a problem. So I'm guessing it's my account that is cousin the problem.
Beside that I have access to some more Virtual Windows Machines and installed the tool on that. Still no success.
I also have access with the sharepoint workspace 2010 with the same account but on that same computer no access with the MOS SIA.
I have to test this for one of my clients that wants to go to 365. Right now I can not give him a good advice.
Hope to get some help.
Hi CDCloudy,
Thanks for your post.
With a trial account, we would be able to download and run the Office 365 Desktop setup. Do you mean you can't login the Sign in assistant with your other virtual machines either?
According to your situation, I suggest you troubleshoot this issue by referring to my initial post.
If the error still persists, for further troubleshooting this issue, I suggest you do the following: Create a new user account in MOP (Microsoft Online Portal); login MOP with the new user account; go to downloads page; download and run the desktop Setup and then try to login the Sign in assistance with the new user.
In addition, for us to find your question and focus on it more easily, I'd like you can open a new thread for discussion.
Best Regards,
