Snowing Again

It's snowing again in KC. Third time this winter. Below are some pictures of the first snow... a 6 inch "dusting". It snowed just a bit yesterday before midnight and now it's going at it again. :)

Yahoo! News - Pacers Brawl With Fans During Pistons Game: "Pacers Brawl With Fans During Pistons Game"
You know, there is a reason I call it Thug Ball.

Indiana's Ron Artest and Stephen Jackson charged into the stands and fought with fans in the final minute of their game against the Detroit Pistons on Friday night...

Thug Ball, what a pathetic excuse for a sport.

More... Suspensions Fly, A Thug Denies!

"I didn't start it. I just played the game," Wallace said Saturday before learning of his suspension.

Wallace began the fracas by delivering a hard, two-handed shove to Artest after Wallace was fouled on a drive to the basket with 45.9 seconds remaining.

So let me get this straight, a hard two-handed shove in retaliation of a foul isn't starting the brawl?

Even More Quoth the Thugs

"We've seen this stuff happen before with Monica Seles and different things, and baseball. It's not just the NBA. What can we do with this? That's something that the league has to talk about and that's what society has to talk about." — Charlotte Bobcats guard Steve Smith.

"You can't blame a player for reacting that way. You can't blame anybody. ... He was protecting himself. Nobody wants to be disrespected like that. You can say what you want as long as you don't put your hands on somebody else or touch him. You can't blame him." — Toronto Raptors guard Vince Carter defending Ron Artest.

"If you're a fan, and you step on the court, guys are going to come after you. I'm not saying the players did the right thing, but if you step on the court, then you are fair game. Players don't know if you're carrying a knife or something. You can hurt somebody." — Cleveland Cavaliers center Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

Do what we say not what we do. Quoth the Thugs.

Also in the sporting news... Europeans act like Europeans at a soccer match.

Spanish coach Luis Aragones stirred up trouble BEFORE the game by calling Arsenal ace Thierry Henry a black s***.

Nikon D70 - Popular Photography Magazine Camera of the Year

Nikon D70 - Popular Photography Magazine Camera of the Year: "Nikon D70 - Popular Photography Magazine Camera of the Year"

Yeah baby! That's what I'm talking about, says the proud owner of a Nikon D70 :)

Popular Photography Magazine has been awarded the Nikon D70 'Camera of the Year' status.

'The Nikon D70 was precisely the camera that the photography world needed this year.
A revolution began in 2003 with the Canon EOS Digital Rebel—its $899 sticker, its 6.3-megapixel sensor, and its attitude of "Everybody into the digital SLR pool; the water's fine!"

The question for '04 was how quickly a camera maker would seize on this revolutionary fervor, and add some sophistication, features, fine-tuning, and, well, "maturity" to what the D Rebel had wrought…without pushing the price to a pro-caliber level.

Nikon worked fast, and we had our hands on a nearly completed D70 in time for our May issue. As that article and our lab test of a production model in our June issue showed, Nikon got it right.'
