While not as well-known as car brands like Maserati or Ferrari, many Italian yacht builders meet and exceed the expectations set forth by the country's legendary auto manufacturers. However, finding New York City yacht brokers that sell these vessels is a little more challenging than car dealerships, considering the exclusivity of yacht ownership. If you're in New York and in the market for a luxurious Italian yacht from brands like Riva, Azimut, Wally or Perini Navi, check out one of the following local brokers to get underway and spend some serious leisure time out at sea:

Pro Sound Speaker building forums??
Anyone know of any Pro Sound Speaker building forums?? I have posted several times here about pro sound speakers and there just doesnt seem to be any interest here. Anyone know of any forums dedicated to pro sound speaker building???

Pro Sound Speakers-what did you have in mind?
My Cred--
I have been involved in some capacity with the live sound industry throughout college and graduate school. During college I was a consultant to major pro sound company known mostly for DSP products who was considering manufacturing speakers.
Our design, which ultimately was not completed, would have been a fully integrated design with both internal passive and external DSP processing. We were using the Nexo PS15 as our performance baseline. My expertise was more on the passives/box side, while the companies existing engineers were the DSP whizes.
My Reply--
The DIY community has very little interest in sound reinforcement speakers, and those who are making their livelihood from professional audio are not usually designing/building their own speakers.
The design of professional audio speakers adds a level of complexity above what the average DIY user is capable of. Also, the requirements for durability, safe flyability, and proper arraying make the situation even that much more complicated. Prosound drivers are often very expensive, and are cabinets that can withstand the rigors of the road. This dramatically reduces the value added component of home-made designs.
Also, most people who are working in the business have to meet the rider requirements of the acts in their market, and those people are usually not accepting of proprietary designs, with a few notable exceptions. Proprietary monitor wedges tend to be the most accepted.
All that said, a DIY pro-sound box would be fun project, depending on what the goal was. What sort of boxes are you hoping to build? I might be talked into helping out on a project, depending on the design parameters.

gtphill - I am a weekend warrior soundguy that has done sound for years. I have never been happy with the sound of live boxes. affordable boxes that is!
My current setup is a pair of Yamaha single 18" subs with JBL Mpro single 15 + horn top cabs with all QSC power. the set up works and is reasonable out of the box but they are lifeless.
I would like to build a new pair of top boxes. maybe something that is a passive 3 way using good quality drivers selected new or used for the smoothest sound.
I do sound for an all womens Jam band and so the vocal range is critical. Most of the time pro boxes have this nasely, honky horn sound that i cant stand. or, kick drums that sound like a wet cardboard box.
My thought, was to build a wedge top box with single 15 that has good transient response. then mate that to a cone mid that will cover 300-3K as flat as possible, coupled to a horn tweet up to 15K+
But, a few years ago at the CES Show. Paul Hales and QSC had a private demo of some prototype boxes that had 2x 12" woofers and a horn tweeter in a MTM config. I was BLOWN away by the sound. i damn near stood up in the middle of the demo as i didnt believe what i was hearing. they actually imaged! had 3d depth and sounded like expensive high end home speakers. I WANT THAT SOUND! I have tried like hell to buy that pair of protoypes from QSC to no avail....
SO....My thought was to build a pair of audiophile quality Pro top boxes. I want to build passive but biamp capable. My live set up is alreay complicated enough and more amps and x-overs etc just gets hectic fast. The subs i have i can deal with for now. later we can look at some better sub designs but for now i need to get the vocals right.
Looking at specs for PA mids is really dissapointing. But a couple from B&C look reasonable. If we decide to go that route.
I am not opposed to a 2 way box if it can be done right. and that is the key. Paul hales made those 12's and a 2" horn work, but i suspect there was a bunch of DSP ahead of them. a 15" crossing over to a horn at 1-2K just doesnt sound like a great idea to me. I just cant see a 15 or even a 12" performing well at 1K+ not to mention what the tweeter is doing down that low.... and speaking of tweetrs, Looking at Tweeter specs is even more disspointing. and real world sound VS spec sheets is a whole other issue.
Cost is a concern, and i want to try and do this as cost effective as possible. I dont mind hunting drivers or horns etc on eBay to get the best price.
That is a lot to ask for i know. But part of this is for the experiance of doing it and examining what problems there are and how to overcome them, or what comprimises are needed etc....
Lound and boomy is not what i am after. clean, smooth, non harsh. 3D imaging thats what i want to achive. More along the lines of large studio monitors maybe with a reasonable 300-500 watt per box power handling.
I have not put a SPL meter to the rom during the night, but we are maybe 90-100db max during the night. in a room that holds maybe 100-150.
I have a QSC PLX1804 for the mains which is 500/800 watts pers side at 8/4 ohms and i have a PLX3402 i bridge mono for the subs that will do 3400 watts (WAY more then my current subs can handle). these amps barley tick over during our average night and i have never seen a clip light during a show.
after all that, Still interested in the challange????
Also i checked out that speaker plans website and didnt see much that there looked interesting.

After reading all of this, I am more of the opinion that a better discussion would be what pre-existing products would best relate to your situations.
The MPro 412 or 415 are , truthfully, some of the better designs in pro audio, especially at the price point, and it lends me to think the real trouble might be elsewhere--source, mixing, room acoustics, system tuning.

Thanks. But the Borrowed Mpro's i have are the 215's not the 400 series. and even the JBL rep confirmed that the 200 series wasn't very good. dont get me wrong. they are ok. fairly flat and they do the job for now.
I use Audix OM-2's and OM-5's for vocal mics. a 58's only as back up etc.
500hz to 3K wouldn't be bad. at least that would cover a very large portion of the vocal range.
The club is about 40' wide and 50 or 60' deep.
I need to purchase or build my own speakers for use at other gigs. thats why i am interested in building a pair of cabs. and it's true, i am not the worlds greatest FOH guy but i do ok.
500 watts per channel isnt much i agree. but with the current set up we can get PLENTY of volume and as i said never ever had the clip lights come on. this club is not very large and they want a lower volume then a typical rock show. so the amount of power we have is more then enough. I'm sure if i pushed it even a little bit i could hit 105db at the mix position easily.
I will bring an SPL meter with me for the next gig and see where we are at normally. i am betting is is maybe 90-95dB at FOH.

Being a good FOH guy is hard. I am an excellent system tech, but not as much as a mixer. Lots of mixers out there are really bad, though, so you are likely ahead of the curve if you notice all this stuff.
I guess I am a bit jaded about mix problems being attributed to the PA--welcome to the fun world of system tech!
How adverse are you to biamping? Its very tough to do a full range box without biamped lows, unless the lows are horn loaded.

As this is a girls jam, and mostly pop/rock/r&b type stuff with small crowds, it doesn't have to be loud. however the drummer is louder then the pa and i usually don't even mic her kit with the exception of the kick drum. But i do mic the snare and run it through a verb and just put the verb in the house. and the guitar player is nick named "Miss Deaf" so house volume is generally set by those two. I try and keep it as low as i can. But i do suffer a bit of fader creep as the night goes on and my ear threshold changes, but i try and keep an eye on that.
I am not completely opposed to Bi-amping, well tri-amping with the subs if it adds something significant to the design. it just adds a degree of complexity/problems and i always try and keep things as simple and as easy as possible. So lets talk about it and we can work our way through the design and go from there.
I was thinking also, that if there is a pre-made box that we can modify, i am not opposed to that either. we can yank out the stock components and x-over and put in whatever. My father has an extensive wood shop down at his place so building cabs is not a problem if that is better. he is retired now so projects as such give him something to do!
My Main complaint with Pro boxes is the top end. they all sound harsh or honky, nasely etc to me. older JBL and EV tweeters were the worst. I did hear a set of Renkus Heinz in an install that sounded great in the mid/highs! but the cabs were 20' in the air and i had no way of knowing what they were.

Renkus Heinz use Earl Geddes's OS waveguide in most of their designs, AFAIK. You can build an OS waveguide fairly easily if you have some experience with fiberglass or a big enough lathe. You also might look at some other horn designs, like Peavey's Quadratic waveguide horns or something in the Tractrix or Le Cleach families. I've been wondering if JBL's Progressive Transition waveguide horns are any good myself.
http://www.gedlee.com is a good starting point
http://sound.westhost.com/articles/waveguides1.htm is also a good place to learn about OS waveguides.

Fix it the right way.

I signed up for a rate of .0699, the rate increased to 0.1299 - effectively doubled - with no warning. I called customer service (waited 20 minutes to talk to someone) told them what happened, they said they need to research and get back to me. They responded that they sent a letter which I didn't receive and refused to honor the agreed price.
I asked to speak to a manager, they placed me on hold then came back and said the manager would not speak to me and they will not make any adjustments.
I then asked what I need to do to go back to the agreed rate, they said it will take up to 2 months at this rate for any different rate to take effect! So I get to pay double for an additional 2 months.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 126.96.36.199
Forum Moderators: open
We have a competitor that copies the articles within a few hours of us posting the content.
We have contacted the competitor and they vowed to never do it again. Of course, they have continued the practice.
The competitor also posts hidden text and uses hundreds of pages of hidden content with re-directs. To our dismay, they started with a PR 3 (now they have a PR 7) and have started surpassing our listings in Google.
This has been frusterating because we are "playing by the rules" and have staff members on payroll that is virtually "working for the compeition".
Does anyone have experience with this type of situation? We rely heavily on Google for web traffic and I do not want to do anything to pester Google about the matter (because we rely on them so heavily).
We issued two spam reports over the course of 2 months and nothing was done. Any advice you can provide (we do not wish to incur legal expenses) is very much appreciated.

I'm sure they'll remove it right away. If they don't, go up one higher and have the hosting company's host remove them. Along the line I'm sure you'll find someone that will listen to you.
Hi ya. Same problem here. A small-time player is constantly on the look out for some fresh content on our web sites which automatically is displayed on his own pages.
Pictures, texts, metatags, titles, keywords, etc. He even had a couple of domains with our logo on them, with enquiry forms sending details to his own e-mail.
I asked him to remove the content a few times. No reply. Then I simply found a way to get into his host, and... removed the domains from the DNS. Two day later, he got in touch with me threatening me with some dirty scam... so I enabled his domains again.
The content is still there, and if by any chance one of my superiors saw that.... this guy will be in trouble.
I know it is sometimes a bit.... savage, but it helps. just find the guy and smack him in the face.
100% garantee he will not copy your stuff again.

President Obama, the Nobel Peace Prize Winner, the man I worked hard to elect to the Presidency is going to ask for $708 billion dollars for defense spending next year. I give up all delusions of change. I just plain give up.
In an article entitled Obama wants record $708B for military next year in today's Washington Post, we learn that nothing has changed relative to our defense spending insanity in Washington. It is business as usual.
Where did I ever get the idea that good old Mister "Yes we can!" was any different from any other Republican that ever ran for President? This guy is a phony. He misrepresented who he is. He is no Democrat, that is for sure.
His deception will come at a very high political price. And that price will be paid by all of us.
Our educational system is decaying and college is now incredibly expensive for any working class or lower middle class family. A college education is almost out of reach now.
Our infrastructure, both social and physical, is in rapid decline.
Our nation is politically polarized beyond belief and getting worse.
We have 17.5% real unemployment and if one considers under-employment of the work force, we are probably looking at something close to 50-60 percent of all wage earners earning less than they are worth.
The Democratic Party is looking more and more like the Republican Light Party as every week goes by.
And I am not innocent either. I have to take my share of the blame for this idiocy that we are now watching unfold.
I got sucked into the Obama fever once Hillary Clinton was knocked out of the running in the primary. I originally supported her. When Obama won the primary for the Democrats, I was solidly in his corner. Here was a man who could make a difference. I was sure of that.
I made the phone calls, I answered the questions, I gave out the brochures, I offered my opinion about what a fine President he would make. I took the heat from anyone who thought he could not handle the job. I exuded confidence in him. I was a true believer.
What I was, what I really was, was a jackass.
This man is a personality, a celebrity, the same type of guy who runs for President of the Student Body at the local high school based on nonsensical and adolescent platforms that promise so much and deliver……what exactly? He delivers smiles and handshakes and bows and fine speeches.
And exactly what does he deliver for the hopeful, the impoverished, the forgotten, the unemployed, the underemployed unfortunate millions that placed so much hope in him? What makes him any different from any Republican president? What has he delivered for the workers, for the disenfranchised or for the disabled veterans in America? What has he delivered for his costituency of the hopeful that placed him into office?
Let me answer that. Damned little.
I don't know what else to say. I don't know what happened to this guy, but the Obama of the campaign trail and the Obama in the White House are two vastly different people. To some degree, that always happens. It is unavoidable. But the right turn that this guy has taken since taking the oath of office is breathtaking, probably even unprecedented. Even I am stunned and I am one jaded bastard from a family that has been involved in politics decades before I was born.
I am done making excuses for Barak Obama now. We need a $708 billion dollar defense budget next year like we need an earthquake in Manhattan. This is simply immoral. That taxpayer money is urgently needed elsewhere. And we cannot get it out of the hands of the war industry captains, the emerging market manipulators and the energy cartel and bankster gangsters.
We are being sodomized daily by these people and we are not even getting kissed.
I am done now. I really am. Whatever he does from this point forward, he does without my support. At least I can save that much integrity for my self.
CWO3 Tom Barnes, USCG (Ret.)

I was out with my buddy taking some pictures with his Si and I noticed when we left one of our locations we were shooting at I had a CEL. When we got to our next destination just a few seconds later I pulled out my ScanLink OBDII dongle and read the codes and emailed them to myself. Below is what I found:I'm curious if anyone could tell me what would cause it to misfire? What steps should be taken to minimize any potential risks? I have no problems taking it to the dealership if required, I don't have any modifications and don't drive like a maniac.Current Fault Log
P0301: Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The guesthouse, a small, attractive restored redbrick building from the turn of the 20th century, is situated in the 2nd courtyard of a Berliner Altbau. In 1996 the former courtyard factory was converted to a guesthouse.
The building is located in the famous district of Kreuzberg. While Berlin was divided, this neighborhood was a border area of West Berlin, where the rents were low enough to attract artists, dropouts and immigrants. For this reason, Kreuzberg has been known ever since for its multicultural flair and alternative subculture. After the Fall of the Wall Kreuzberg is now situated in the center of the reunited city.
Night owls can enjoy the legendary `Kreuzberg nights' especially in the area around Mehringdamm, Bergmannstraße and in the Oranienstraße. In Kreuzberg you will find clubs like 'SO36', 'Watergate' (both less than 10 min by foot) or 'SchwuZ': this area has something to suit everyone's taste.
The Görlitzer Park is a beloved summer meeting place for young people. It is just around the corner.
If you want to chill out, the 'Victoriapark' is a popular relaxation area in in the western part of the district. Here you will find the eponymous Kreuzberg Hill, from where you can enjoy a fantastic view. During the summer, an artificial stream flows down from the top in the form of a waterfall.
Kreuzberg is well connected to the neighboring districts through the U-Bahn lines U1, U2, U6, U7 and U8, and the S-Bahn lines S41 and S42 (circle line). U1 and U8 are within walking distance.
House rulesThe front house and the first rear building are ordinary Berliner houses.
The neighbors are very happy when it's quiet in the yard from 22 clock.
Smoking is not allowed in the guesthouse. You can smoke in the backyard.
Wifi is free. PLEASE NOTE: Germany is very strict chasing people who download content illegally and apply heavy fines. Please don't! We would like to keep the internet open for our guests.

Reviews for this host's other properties
We've had an awesome week in this studio! The location is just perfect, really nearby an u-bahn station and in the neighbourhood there's much too see and experience.
The studio had everything you'll need + a dishwasher! The courtyard is nice for eating.
Very good, centrally located but nevertheless quiet, ideal for small group
nice hosts
Sehr gut, liegt zentral aber trotzdem ruhig, ideal für kleine Gruppe,
nette Gastgeber
Very good apartment with excellent view, good location, clean and equipped. There was no problem and was there Ivos case-where.
Très bon appartement avec excellente vue, bien situé, propre et cuisine équipée. Il n'y a eu aucun souci et Ivos était là au cas-où.
A recommander.
The room was ok. Just like we expected, basic and everything we needed to sleep and stay during our trip to Berlin. The room has just four beds (two double beds) and a table with four chairs (exactly like the pictures).
We shared the bathroom with two other guests and that was fine. Didn't have to wait to take a shower for too long. Bathroom was fine as well, but small. Everything you need (like toilet and shower) is provided.
The price was right for the room we booked and I would definitely book the room again if we travel to Berlin.
The location is totally fine, just two minutes walk to Görlitzer Bahnhof where you can take the U1. The neighborhood is fine, but not that safe. Be aware and try to walk together over there. We knew this before, so we were aware of the situation.
The help of Ivos is good, but we didn't need any further tips, because I've lived in Berlin before. He was very helpful though. If you are planning a trip to Berlin and are not willing to stay in your room all day, this room is a very good option. We were there to sleep and take a shower only, so totally fine! We had a nice time in Berlin! Thanks Ivos!
Very good experience in this apartment Kreuzberg, very convenient and easy to locate. He should have been more days would have missed a salon.
Muy buena experiencia en este apartamento de Kreuzberg, muy bien situado y fácil de localizar. En caso de haber estado más días se habría echado en falta un salón.
The room was clean and we had the whole floor to yourself. Ivo was very nice and helpful. The location was quiet, but central. Would recommend!
Das Zimmer war sauber und man hatte die ganze Etage für sich. Ivos war sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Die Lage war ruhig, aber zentral. Würde ich empfehlen!
Very good apartment highly recommended for a complete family
That is great place to stay in Berlin - fantastic view from the window, nice, clean and fully equipped apartment, very good located (just few metres from subway, 1km from Alexanderplatz, few minutes from free parking zone). Hosts were very kind and helpful. Thank you, Suzana and Ivos! Best Regards, Marcin
We have really loved staying here. The location is fantastic, very close to Alexanderplatz and with great public transport connections elsewhere (U-bahn and S-bahn are literally next to the building). Parking is available for a fee that can't be beat in this part of Berlin.
The only downside we can think of was that we visited Berlin when temperatures were around 30 Celsius. The apartment, like almost everywhere in Berlin, does not have AC and it can become a bit too warm if like us you are a winter person not relishing heat.
However for 50 weeks in year it is just perfect and we hope to be back.
The room looked just like in the picture, and was just by a courtyard that was really cosy. It was also just next to a small convenience store that held snacks, drinks and necessities - which was nice! The area also held plenty of restaurants with varying prizes, and a train station very close by.
The room was very spacious and even though we shared the bathroom with another room, we never felt it wasn't accessible. But maybe that had to do with the fact that we got up later than they did.
Now, the negatives included the pillows, which were very, very flat and airy in comparison to "normal" pillows in hostels and hotels. We solved this by rolling them for better neck support, but it was still a little bit of a nuisance. Secondly, there was an ant invasion during our two last days. The nights were okay, since most of them retreated, but at one point we had ants on all the beds and the table. I was going to let the office know, but since it was closed every time I checked (it was the weekend) I didn't find it necessary since I slept on the couch instead while my other friends were out of town during that time.
In conclusion, we had a pleasant stay apart from the pillows and - above all - the ants, which probably only was an issue for the people living on the first floor.

THERE is a special joy in a great repertory theater company -- whether it is drama or ballet -- for the regular audience. It is the joy of being a member of a club. The company members become our actors, our dancers and yes, in a way, our friends.

LAS VEGAS, Nev. – After winning three straight matches in Sedona, the Northern Arizona men's tennis team took their three match winning streak to Las Vegas for two matches this weekend beginning with Air Force. After dropping the doubles point, the Lumberjacks stormed back with four singles wins and the Lumberjacks pulled out the 4-3 victory over Air Force.
"It was a great win for us today," said head coach Ki Kroll. "Air Force is a very god team and we really stepped up our singles play to pull this one out."
After dropping the doubles point, the Lumberjacks refused to quit and won four of the six singles matches to pull out a win over Air Force who went into today's match with an 11-3 record and had won five of their last six matches. Air Force was also 3-0 this season against Big Sky Conference opponents.
Fabio Tomasetti got the Lumberjacks on the scoreboard with a win at the No. 3 position over Jack McCullers with the 6-2, 6-2 score. Kester Black followed Tomasetti's lead as Black got a 6-1, 7-6 (5) win over Alex Grubbs at the No. 4 slot. Black's win gave the Lumberjacks the lead and Northern Arizona did not look back as Trevor Unger grabbed a win at the No. 5 position. Unger pulled out a win in a tough first set with a 7-6 (13) score and Unger finished Lucas Fumgalli off in the second set 6-3.
Big Sky Player of the Week Alexandre Locci clinched the win for the Lumberjacks at the No. 2 position over Andy Jackson. It took three sets for Locci to get the win but the native of France was able to get it done. Locci won the first set 7-5 but dropped the second set 7-6 to Jackson. Locci would take the third set 6-3 to seal the win for the Lumberjacks and give Kroll and his squad their fourth straight win.
"We need to build on this big win," said Kroll. "Hopefully we can carry it into tomorrow's match against UNLV."
Tomorrow's match with UNLV will begin at 11:00 a.m. in Las Vegas.

For the first time in 40 years, Mexico has instituted significant labor reforms, a move that has far-reaching implications for its employers as well as U.S. companies doing business there.
According to Mexican officials, the reform legislation was designed to increase productivity, create better-paying jobs and improve employment access for women and younger workers.
Outsourcing, subcontracting
Historically, U.S. companies with Mexican operations have managed labor obligations by outsourcing or subcontracting to service companies that provide workers for a fee. In this arrangement, workers are employees of the service company, which is contractually responsible for labor obligations.
This is important in all aspects of Mexico's Federal Labor Law (FLL), but particularly in regard to the law's 10% employee profit-sharing requirement. Under a typical subcontracting relationship, 10...(register to read more)

Nicole Cairns, Online Deputy Director, Power Shift, Washington, DC
I honestly had no idea what I was getting myself into when I decided to come on board with Power Shift staff four weeks ago. I joined the team well into the planning and preparation processes so the entire staff was already moving full-force ahead.
I'm a 'veteran' when it comes to environmental communications, but this is the first real campaign or organizing work I've done. I'm used to working under deadlines, but in the organizing world, your deadlines are always "two days ago" and your to-do list never shrinks.
Sometimes it's easy to lose focus and forget what the mission is. It's easy to get discouraged and tired from the long hours and stressful work.
The other day was the first day I really felt that. After writing all day, I hit writer's block and simply couldn't write another word. After struggling with the same sentence for 20 minutes, I forced myself to get up and go outside to clear my head.
I walked back into the Power Shift office and noticed a sign I hadn't seen before; it said "You're Changing the World." I thought about it as I walked back to my desk and just let it ruminate. And it just clicked:
We are changing the world. We're using our voices, our energy, and our collective power to build a better future for ourselves, our families, and our communities. I really don't think there's anything better than that.
Now, every time I walk into the office, I smile when I see that sign. It's a good little reminder that the work we're doing now, no matter what hour or day, is important.
Right now, it's a Saturday at 2:38pm and the entire Power Shift staff is working. Some of us are sitting in the office plugging away and chugging coffee. Others are in the field prepping last-minute things before 10,000 people arrive at the doorstep of the Convention Center next week. Most people our age are out having brunch with their friends, going out to see a movie, or possibly even sleeping, and we're hard at work.
But we're not complaining. We've seen the signs and we're excited about where they're taking us.

Make sure you get whatever media coverage possible...If you aren't seen across the country, the voices of the young voters will go ignored. Contact every news broadcast...radio station and news paper under the sun...Let us be heard around the world!!! And I believe all of us sitting at our computers can spread the word to our local media services. Let's make sure there is coverage.
Thanks, Amber! We definitely are doing media outreach and have already been featured in the LA Times, ABC Nightly News, and progressive/environmental blogs across the country!
Seems like you could get a lot of support from communities such as Reddit - I can think of a few causes that have benefited in terms of both awareness and active support. Maybe that's worth a look!

While Delonte West is leaving the door open for a possible stint overseas, the Celtics remain his No. 1 option as an unrestricted free agent this offseason, West's agent Jarinn Akana told ESPN.com.
"Delonte was drafted by Boston, and he has a special place for Boston because of that," Akana told Chris Forsberg. "He spent some good years there, then came back last year and was able to play, but had injuries here and there. He did contribute, but he wanted to contribute more and help Boston advance further. Of course he'd like to be back. I think that's his No. 1 goal to be back and help Boston win another championship."
West missed the first 10 games of the 2010-11 season due to suspension, played a handful of games, missed the next 39 after breaking his right wrist, played a trio of games, missed another eight after chipping a bone in his right ankle and then closed the season strong.
When all was said and done, West averaged 5.6 points on 45.8 percent shooting along with 2.7 assists and 1.6 rebounds in 18.9 minutes over 24 regular-season games. Fulfilling what the Celtics expected from him all season, he averaged 10.2 points in 23.2 minutes during the five-game Eastern Conference semifinals loss to the Heat.
Given the state of available free-agent options to the Celtics at backup point guard [1] behind Rajon Rondo, West likely remains the C's No. 1 target at that position as well. West signed for the veteran minimum of just one year at $854,389 last offseason, and under the current rules the team could offer him a minimum salary of $1.0 million or a portion of the mid-level exception. Because of the lockout, Akana isn't ruling out West's options overseas.
"With any player, there has be be due diligence to see what's happening," he told ESPN.com. "That's basically where he's at. But he'd like to be back in Boston. He had a great time there, he loves his teammates and he loves the organization."

Two people have been killed in a motorway pile-up involving a horse box from the famous trainer Brian Meehan's stables.
A man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following the crash on the M11 near Harlow, Essex police said.
The trailer carrying five horses from the respected stables collided with three cars and a lorry shortly after 2.15pm in a smash that left the northbound carriageway closed between junctions seven and eight.
Essex fire and rescue said it had to free three people trapped in cars and eight horses were released from the horse box.
The five horses from Meehan's stable have been rushed to the Newmarket Equine Centre where they are being assessed by vets for injuries, according to a statement on Meehan's website.
It is not yet clear if they were hurt in the crash or if any of the animals would need to be put down, but the trainer's three intended runners at Newmarket on Thursday evening were withdrawn.
An Essex police spokesman said: "Two people in a car have died and the driver and passenger in another car have been taken to hospital in Cambridgeshire.
"A woman has serious internal injuries and was flown by air ambulance and a man was taken by ambulance with a head injury."

Hey there you lovely lot!
I just had an ace of an idea! My auntie is a seat fixing womany thing... i dont know what the technical name is but im sure she could retrim a seat no problem! So.... question is...
I would love black leather but got grey carpet and dash etc so i think it might look out of place (unless someone can prove me wrong?)
So I'de like grey leather.. where can i get this by the metre etc...
Ive tried ebay for compact interiors but they are all woeful!!


text: G'day everybody. I have found out how to add a pic to my post and think this will make it much easier to get the help from you all that I am looking for. The truck in the pic has 20 inch wheels and the rear are duals. I'm wanting to turn this into a pickup with a tub on the back and am really wondering about the front fenders. Are they different between the various sizes of these trucks, ie is the shape of the wheel opening larger and smaller? Are there many differences underneath suspension and steering wise etc. Thanks. Ron.

"I think my closet is a reflection of the Whitney Eve girl: very colorful, print-heavy, eclectic, and most of all, comfortable," Whitney Port told us. We popped by Port's beach-side pad just in time for breakfast, where she had a serious spread waiting for us. We've been big supporters of Port since her T.V. days of The Hills and The City. and throughout the continued success of her ever-expanding line, Whitney Eve. Port's walk-in was bursting with color, prints and whimsical charm—and she's got the organization thing down to a science.
While we were busy browsing her wardrobe and admiring the boho-like décor, Port had her glam squad add the finishing touches to her hair and make-up. After she was dolled up, we dressed her up in a slew of ensembles: Giuseppe Zanotti sparkly heels, a drapy Thakoon dress—and we even got her into her sweats and fuzzy slippers.
Port spilled a ton of stuff: her favorite flea markets, her knack for making a killer cheese plate, her go-to destinations for interiors, and her love for high/low mixing. We adore a girl with a sea of expensive stilettos, but we really love a girl who adds a pair from Zara, Topshop and Urban Outfitters into the mix. And stay tuned for accessories of Port's own design, "my dream is to dress a girl from head to toe, so accessories are my next step."

The '05 Xterra, on sale next month, finishes Nissan's truck trio blowout that began with the redesigned '05 Pathfinder SUV last fall, then the remade '05 Frontier pickup last month.
All three are based on downsized versions of what Nissan calls its F-Alpha platform. That is the frame and other underpinnings used for the full-size Titan pickup and full-size Armada SUV. Robust stuff for the smaller trucks, and it shows in their weight, several hundred pounds more than typical of similar-size rivals. That hampers fuel economy and acceleration (though well-done engines make the latter a theoretical issue). The extra heft also shows up as solid down-the-road personality.
All the F-Alpha junior models, including Xterra, drive so very nicely and feel so very robust and sturdy and ride with such firm authority and go around corners with brio, and steer and stop more like good sports machines than trucks.
Here's what stood out in 1,200 miles in several pre-production Xterras:
•Choppy ride. Xterra's relatively short wheelbase — the span between the front and back wheels — almost guarantees a bit of the ol' hippety-hop. The shorter the wheelbase, the more like a unicycle a vehicle becomes, providing less time for the front wheels to finish dealing with a bump before the rear wheels have to handle it. The suspension is also meant to absorb off-road jolts, so it's inherently stiffer-riding on smooth roads. At highway speed, the ride settles nicely and the chop all but disappears, unless the road's in horrible shape.
•Engine behavior. It's mainly good but has a dark side.
The '05 powerplant is a delight, mainly. It delivers significantly more power on regular gas than the previous version's supercharged engine, which specified premium gas. It has the beans to make the two-ton SUV punchy and fun.
But in the test trucks it vibrated badly at idle, setting up a drone that increased in volume until it sounded as if you were in one of those Sharper Image vibrating chairs. Putting the transmission into neutral helped a little, but the noise remained objectionable.
The engine also sounds a little coarse, instead of the robust huskiness you might prefer.
• Shifting. The automatic transmission is a little too sloppy, slurring instead of snapping its way between gears. The manual, adapted from the sporty gearbox in the 350Z sports car, is a wonder. Most truck manuals feel crude and clunky. Xterra's slides nicely among the gears like the sport-based hardware that it is.
•Interior. Front seats are comfy and roomy, but legroom in back is pretty tight, making Xterra a buggy for those who are short enough to slide the front seats forward or who have short-legged friends to ride in back. The back-door openings are pretty tight, too, so creaky or fussy folk will feel inconvenienced using them.
As compensation, the cargo area behind the back seat is a generous 35.2 cubic feet.
The Jeep Liberty, Xterra's most direct rival, has a much roomier back seat, slightly smaller cargo area behind the back seat, slightly bigger cargo area when the back seat's folded down.
• Clever touches. A step carved into each rear corner makes it much easier to hop up to reach the roof rack without trying to balance atop the tire or using a stepladder.
Sliding tie-down cleats make the cargo area more versatile.
The roof-rack's cargo bin has a lid to hide small items and protect them from weather. The lid also has two cute shock absorbers to let it rise and close smoothly.
•Safety belts. The middle one in back hangs from the ceiling instead of being attached to the seat, so it's in the way. It makes folding the seat more work, and it hangs in your view in the mirror. You can unhook it, but stowing it in the ceiling pocket is awkward. The middle buckle also crowds the buckle for the outboard seat, making it hard for all abreast to buckle up.
The gripes aren't enough to outweigh the new Xterra's pleasing persona. While it doesn't seem quite as well-done as the other two F-Alpha junior Nissans, Pathfinder and Frontier, it's much better than its predecessor and is a worthy SUV overall.
2005 Nissan Xterra

Weight ranges from 4,081 to 4,382 pounds, depending on model. Cargo space is listed as 35.2 cubic feet behind the rear seat, 65.7 cubic feet when the seat's folded. Rated to carry 1,004 to 1,138 pounds of people and cargo, depending on model. Rated to tow 5,000 pounds.
• How thirsty? Fuel economy ratings aren't set yet. Test truck with automatic transmission and 4x4 got 13.8 miles per gallon in town, 18.8 on the highway with stiff cross- and headwinds, according to vehicle's trip computer.
• Overall: Classy upgrade of its crude predecessor.

Lake Erie is a significant fishery for anglers of this area, and its status is an important topic, particularly at this time, as folks contemplate plans for the coming year.
Recently I spoke with the Ohio Division of Wildlife's Jeff Tyson regarding the lake's walleye and yellow perch. Tyson heads a research unit that assesses Lake Erie's fish populations in the western and central basins. Many of the lake's walleyes are hatched in the western basin; central basin waters start in eastern Ohio and extend to all of Pennsylvania's portion of Erie.
WALLEYE: Dubbed the walleye capital of the world, walleye fishing is obviously a vital component of the big lake's offerings. For many anglers the status of Erie's fishing is directly linked to how good the walleye fishing is. According to Tyson, it was pretty good last season.
"Walleye fishing was pretty decent last year," Tyson reported. "We ended up harvesting slightly over a million fish from Ohio waters, which is about average from what we've seen over the previous five years. We'll have some years where it's down, usually driven by weather, and some where it's up a bit. But last year things were pretty much on par."
Weather plays a big role in how walleye anglers fare. Not only can wild weather put down finicky fish like walleyes, it can make the lake unfishable. Particularly in the western basin, big wind and rain can turn the water to chocolate milk.
Though weather patterns are at the mercy of nature, there will be enough fish available to furnish anglers with the potential for good fishing.
"The 2003 year class will definitely still be out there, contributing about 30 percent of our total harvest, even though we're over 10 years out on it," he said. "That gives you a sense of just how large that year class was. We have some others, what we consider average hatches, as well, that are in the fishery right now. The 2007 year class, which is now about six years old, will contribute, as will the 2010 hatch. A lot of the guys were seeing a fair number of the '10 fish last year, particularly in the western basin. Those fish were running in the 17-inch range, whereas the '03 fish will run from 25 inches on up to 30 inches-plus."
Erie's inconsistent walleye hatches, though another item in the hands of nature, continues to be a source of puzzlement to fish managers. Poor, even absent year classes aren't unusual in natural settings. But the situation seems magnified on Erie. Tyson said the DOW is studying the dilemma.
"Weather is still the primary factor that we feel is driving year class strength out there," he noted. "We just wrapped up the third year of a three-year study — some fairly intensive work out on the reefs — paired with some additional work up in the rivers, looking at environmental conditions. We're trying to better understand how weather impacts hatches on an annual basis. We don't have any specific results back yet, but we should be getting some of that information summarized over the next year to year-and-a-half."
YELLOW PERCH: Lake Erie might be the walleye capital of the world. But when the yellow perch are biting, walleyes often take a back seat to their smaller cousins. Parking lots fill with trailers when the perch are on; flotillas of boats — perch packs, if you will — exist as parking lots in their own right, ones parked over schools of fish, many of which warrant the "jumbo" label.
"In 2013 we had a fairly decent yellow perch as well," Tyson recalled. "The size grade was better than we what we expected, particularly in the west end. As you go down farther east, from Ashtabula, Conneaut and on into Pennsylvania waters, the size grade was really good for perch. We had a really nice fishery for yellow perch."
As with walleyes, Erie's yellow perch fishery is dependent upon the strength of recent year classes. Though perch production sees ups and downs, this species doesn't experience quite the same level of erratic hatches as do walleyes.
"I think it's going to be another good year for perch," Tyson noted. "We didn't have a huge hatch last spring, particularly in the west, for yellow perch. It was about average. Those fish won't show up in the fishery until next year. In the central basin last year's hatch wasn't as good. But they've had fairly consistent spawns in that portion of the lake, every other year, or at least every third year."

"No price is too great," John Pierpont Morgan once declared, "for a work of unquestioned beauty and known authenticity." Indeed, the financier spent half his fortune on art: Chinese porcelains, Byzantine reliquaries, Renaissance bronzes. His London house was so decked out a critic said it resembled "a pawnbrokers' shop for Croesuses." Morgan also commissioned a number of portraits of himself—but he was too restless and busy making money to sit still while they were painted.
From This Story
Related Content
Which was why, in 1903, the painter Fedor Encke hired a young photographer named Edward Steichen to take Morgan's picture as a kind of cheat sheet for a portrait Encke was trying to finish.
The sitting lasted just three minutes, during which Steichen took only two photographs. But one of them would define Morgan forever.
In January 1903, Morgan, 65, was at the height of his power, a steel, railroad and electrical-power mogul influential enough to direct huge segments of the American economy. (Four years later he would almost single-handedly quell a financial panic.) Steichen, 23, an immigrant with an eighth-grade education, was working furiously to establish a place in fine-art photography, which was itself struggling to be taken seriously.
Steichen prepared for the shoot by having a janitor sit in for the magnate while he perfected the lighting. Morgan entered, put down his cigar and assumed an accustomed pose. Steichen snapped one picture, then asked Morgan to shift his position slightly. This annoyed him. "His expression had sharpened and his body posture became tense," Steichen recalled in his autobiography, A Life in Photography. "I saw that a dynamic self-assertion had taken place." He quickly took a second picture.
"Is that all?" Morgan said. It was. "I like you, young man!" He paid the efficient photographer $500 in cash on the spot.
Morgan's delight faded when he saw the proofs.
The first shot was innocuous. Morgan ordered a dozen copies; Encke used it to complete an oil portrait in which Morgan looks more like Santa Claus than himself.
But the second image became a sensation. Morgan's expression is forbidding: his mustache forms a frown, and his eyes (which Steichen later compared to the headlights of an express train) blaze out of the shadows. His face, set off by a stiff white collar, seems almost disembodied in the darkness, though his gold watch chain hints at his considerable girth. In this image, Steichen later said, he only slightly touched up Morgan's nose, which was swollen from a skin disease. Yet Steichen denied having engineered the image's most arresting aspect: the illusion of a dagger—actually the arm of the chair—in Morgan's left hand.
Morgan tore up the proof on the spot.

It's no coincidence that the Southern boy George Weld, the proprietor of the Williamsburg eatery Egg (reviewed this week in Tables for Two), centers his new dinner menu on fried chicken, a dish that represents the quintessence of Southern cuisine. (William Faulkner wrote to his mother from New Jersey in 1918, "I'd give my right eye for some scrambled eggs and toast and Kraft cheese and jelly and fried chicken and peaches.") Every one of America's fast-food chicken restaurants originated in the South, including Kentucky Fried Chicken (Louisville), Popeyes (New Orleans), Church's (San Antonio), Bojangles (Charlotte), and Chic-fil-A (Atlanta). When Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC, in 1991, some observers explained the shift by asserting that "fried" just wasn't the way to go in America's new triple-bypass culture.
