his back to the basket, Faried remains heavily reliant on his right
hand and prefers to operate over his left shoulder, flashing a very
basic post repertoire that he'll likely struggle to translate against
better competition. Despite his predictability, Faried saw nearly 40%
of his offensive possession in the post according to Synergy Sports
Technology. He converted 52.4% of those shots this season thanks in
large part to the work he does before he receives the ball. Getting in
an extremely low stance and working to seal his man before an entry
pass is made, Faried doesn't show many counter moves, is limited with
his left hand, shows average touch, and is at his best when simply able
to take one dribble and elevate.
energy post player who excels at doing the dirty work, in particular
rebounding, defending and banging in the post ... Plays with exuberance
and aggressiveness ... An above average, fluid athlete who is willing
to sacrifice his body ... Huge hands help him to secure rebounds.
Athletic body ... An excellent run/jump athlete with explosive leaping
ability ... His long arms and explosiveness help to compensate for his
lack of ideal size ... One of the most dominant interior forces on the
college level, leads the nation in rebounds at 13.3 rpg ... A good shot
blocker with timing and instincts
both in height (6'8) and weight (225 lbs) to play the 4 position at the
NBA level ... Has to overcome the disadvantages of playing at Morehead,
Kentucky in a smaller (Ohio Valley) Conference ... Scouts are less
likely to give credence to standout stats against lesser opponents ...
Needs to further develop his post skills. His moves are too predictable
even against lesser competition ... Lacks any real face the basket
skills. Touch and consistency are not great.
at his point guard abilities, Thomas has matured substantially since we
last profiled him, showing much better instincts and outstanding court
vision. This 180 degree change in production and mentality as a
playmaker makes all the difference in evaluating his draft stock, as it
was nearly impossible to envision him making it in the NBA as a 5-9
shoot-first combo guard.
Operating at
his best in transition, Thomas always keeps his head up and is capable
of making hard, precise passes on the move, frequently threading the
needle through the defense for spectacular plays.
In the
halfcourt, Thomas is at his best operating out of the pick-and-roll,
where his extremely low center of gravity and elite change of direction
ability makes him a huge threat splitting double teams. He shows good
ability making passes out of these situations, while also excelling on
both short and deep drive-and-kicks. He does tend to show some problems
making entry passes, however, being limited in potential angles at his
at Bryan-Amaning's game, there is a stark contrast in the style of
offensive play he employed in college compared to what he'd have a
chance at doing in the NBA initially. Bryan-Amaning relies heavily on a
somewhat unrefined back-to-the-basket game at the moment, one he's not
terribly efficient with but shows some nice flashes. He is extremely
quick for a player his size and is capable of beating many players
laterally in the low and mid post, while his length and creativity
allow him to finish from multiple angles around the rim. Still,
ultimately this area of his game is still unpolished and not yet
is a very athletic and physical power forward. He is a great leaper and
loves to dunk the ball. His offensive post moves are decent with his
back to the basket but hes better when facing up.
is the biggest question mark for Mathew. He often seems desireless on
defense and thus does not make as big of an impact on this side of the
floor as compared to offense.
it stands, Freeman's lack of ideal athleticism is the biggest obstacle
hindering him from being an intriguing prospect. He brings plenty to
the table offensively. His value on that end the floor starts with his
jump shooting ability. After seeing his three point percentage dip from
the 40% he shot as a freshman to 30% as a sophomore, Freeman bounced
back in a big way as a junior to the tune of a 44.4% mark from
distance. Ranking highly in both three point percentage and true shooting
amongst players in our database, the Dematha HS was at his best last
season when he could set his feet on the perimeter and using his
mechanically sound shooting form and quick release to make opposing
defenses pay from beyond the arc.
6'4 shooting guard with a strong build and a wide frame, Freeman has an
excellent outside game with a smooth, clean release ... He excels at
spotting up, and shot an extremely high percentage from downtown at 44%
... Has a good understanding of spacing and moves well without the ball
to get open ... He can pull up off the dribble from mid-range with a
high comfort level
Freeman lacks
athleticism at a position that requires it at the NBA level ... Both
his lack of height and wingspan should make it even more difficult to
overcome his athletic limitations ... He is not an adept ball handler,
usually relying on his strength to overpower his defender and get to
the rim
the positive side, Fisher is a deadly shooter when spotting up or
pulling up in space, showing range to the NBA three-point line and very
good form when he has space. Things break down for his shot
considerably when he's pulling up from isolation situations, however,
as he tends to go off balance and not contain his momentum well. Given
Villanova's guard-heavy, isolation-based offense, this is something
Fisher gets into trouble with a decent amount, and it will be
interesting to see how he adjusts this year when he's forced to
shoulder even more of the shot creation burden.
is unshakeable ... A competitor and big game player ... A stocky guard
who does not shy away from contact ... Very powerful lower body
Athletically, he has an incredible combination of bulk, quickness, and
body control ... Has a great hesitation move Naturally someone who
looks to get to the bucket ... Can really handle the rock ... One man
press-breaker ... A bit flashy ... Very creative, even in the
half-court ... Has a very soft touch around the basket
very aggressive offensively, which means that sometimes he tries to do
too much ... Expects a lot out of his teammates, and gets visibly
frustrated with them when they make mistakes ... When his confidence in
his shot was at an all-time high, he started to shy away from his bread
and butter C taking his man off the dribble; if he runs into trouble
with penetration on higher levels, he may start relying on his outside
shot too much ...
6'6, Diebler has good size for an NBA wing player. His skinny 200-pound
frame and average wingspan, however, leave much to be desired from a
physical perspective. He is just an average athlete, as well, lacking
ideal quickness and explosiveness for his position.
While Diebler's physical profile is less than impressive, he ranks as one of the most efficient players in college basketball over the last decade, ranking #1 in True Shooting Percentage and points per possession.
Diebler's efficiency stems primarily from the role he plays and his
acceptance of his function in Ohio State's offense—for which his
skill-level is perfectly tailored. Over 40% of his offensive
possessions come in the form of spot-up jump shots, and Diebler
converts an outrageous 50% of 7.2 three-point field goal attempts per
40 minutes pace adjusted. As one would expect, his mechanics are
flawless, he elevates well, and he is nearly automatic in rhythm.
Furthermore, he is just as effective shooting with or without a hand in
his face, thanks to his solid size and quick release.

Singler will likely play a similar role as a spot-up shooter at the next level and he has proven to be an outstanding role player for Duke throughout his career. This season, in particular, he has thrived as a capable and willing passer while turning the ball over a career low 1.9 times per 40 minutes pace adjusted. Similarly, his high energy level, effort, and focus on offense will likely help him overcome some of his athletic deficiencies in the NBA.
An experienced champion and winner at the college level, Singler has as impressive a resume' as any prospect in this class … A 4-year starter who was an impact player at Duke as soon as he put on the uniform … At 6'9 and the 228 lb frame he has worked hard on, he has good size for the SF spot he'll likely occupy for year to come at the NBA level … Very unselfish player who acceted and understood his role at Duke and played it beautifully … Has an effective jump shot with soft touch and the height and release to get it off easily …
Singler could struggle with his below average athleticism at the next level … Will struggle on D, and will have to do little things like take charges and hustle hard to not be a complete non-factor on that end … Is pretty stiff laterally, and can be blown by off the bounce, even by players with middling athleticism … Scouts waited 4 years for Singler to emerge into an elite shooter, but he never did and was largely just decent … Struggled particularly badly with his shot as a Sr. (32% from 3-point range) … Misses too many open shots to be considered a pure shooter, and is prone to long stretches of inefficient shooting …
One of the most improved players on the west coast this season, Nikola Vucevic has seen his stock rise considerably over his three year career at USC. Arriving on campus as a skinny, lanky freshman, Vucevic is now amongst the more imposing big men in the 2011 draft. The tallest player at the 2011 NBA combine standing 6'11.75" with shoes on, the first thing we noticed about Vucevic is just how big he is. Tipping the scales at 260, Vucevic looks like a NBA center, and his improvement as a scorer in the post and as a rebounder only add to his intriguing blend of physical stature and skill level.
Vucevic is spending a lot of time here working on his jump shot, which looked terrific in the session we watched. At one point, Vucevic knocked down 11 straight college-three pointers, showing terrific mechanics in the process. Considering he made a solid 39% of his catch and shoot jumpers last season according to Synergy Sports Technology, Vucevic is already a solid shooter, but is still looking to improve his consistency even more. He clearly understands what consistent range out to 20+ feet can do for him on the NBA level as he begins to find himself in pick and roll and pick and pop situations more frequently.
Leuer showed that he can consistently score both facing the basket and with his back to the basket at Wisconsin, but in the single session we watched, it was interesting to see pieces of his game dissected and how the minor changes he made added to what he does. Tending to hold the ball for too long and look at the floor and jab if he can't get a shot off as soon as he turns to face from the midrange, Leuer had some initial struggles scoring off the bounce against Lee, but he more than held his own after MacLean and Lee pointed out the changes he needed to make. Once he did a better job turning to face, keeping his eyes on the rim, looking for contact on the up and under, and not telegraphing his moves, he looked extremely crisp.
Leuer is coming off a solid season in which he averaged 15 points in his 3rd season at Wisconsin ... At 6'10, Leuer presents matchup problems with his combination of size, outside stroke, and the ability to put the ball on the floor ... He possesses excellent footwork in the post, using an array of post moves that make him unpredictable with his back to the basket ... He shows nice touch in the post, and looks comfortable turning and shooting in any direction ... He has range up to 21 feet out, shooting 39% from downtown at the college level ...
A finesse guy, Leuer lacks in the strength and explosiveness department, which is troublesome when considering the power he would have to go up against at the next level ... He lacks the ability to body up and keep his ground, which will be an issue on the post offensively, and guarding the post defensively ...
Richmond's ability to defend the perimeter is important because at just 6'6, he has spent most of his time playing a power forward-type role offensively for the Illini in the high post to allow Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale to using their shooting ability stepping out on the baseline. Despite showing a raw versatility and midrange game that give him intriguing upside, most of his offensive possessions come from basic hustle plays and post-ups against smaller guards off of switches. An extremely effective finisher and rebounder thanks to his leaping ability, Richmond flashes a hook shot that could be an asset to him against smaller players if he continues to develop it down the road.
Athletic forward with good defensive potential ... Impressive leaping ability and explosiveness ... Good lateral quickness ... Cuts to the basket well ... Sets himself up for easy baskets around the rim ... Great finishing ability ... Has good size for a small forward at the next level ... Long wingspan, measured at 6'10.25" ...
More of an athlete than anything else ... Lacks the size/strength to play power forward, but doesn't have the skills to play on the perimeter ... Offensive game is extremely raw ... Not comfortable creating offense for himself ... Has the potential to be a good shooter, but hasn't turned that potential into results ... No three point range on his jump-shot ... Very turnover prone ...
Tyler played 12 minutes and finished with 5 points, 4 rebounds, 3 fouls, 2 turnovers and 1 block on 2-4 shooting from the field this weekend, helping his Maccabi Haifa team secure the victory on the road over Barak Netanya. It's good to see him crack the rotation in a more significant way and find some productivity at such a young age. Hopefully he can build on this and continue to progress.
Highly touted prep big man, Tyler was considered at or ner the top of his class for a very long time …When you look at him it's obvious why, as he looks like an NBA big man despite his age, at 6'10 260 … Moves well and shows good coordination and fluidity for a guy his size … Possesses a monster 7'5 wingspan and big hands, so he'll be able to play larger than his height … Shows a potentially solid post game with a raw, albeit, interesting amount of moves and counters, that he definitely flashes with the ball at times … Shows good footwork for his size …
Although he's got good size and athleticism, he's not all that decisive in his moves and he will be easier for NBA posts to defend until he tightens his moves with the ball in his hands … Although he has the groundwork and foundation of his post game, he's not polished with it yet … Settles for the jumper often…Relies on his size too much, and it leads to inconsistent efficiency offensively and makes him a very shaky defender … Doesn't play very hard, and it's not rare for him not to run back on defense and his team to give up a basket or an offensive rebound ... Needs to develop focus, consistentcy and discipline ... Struggled mightily with fouls when he was playing in Japan this past season, and wasn't much better in Israel either ... Displays a low basketball IQ and raw decision-making skills, and he's pretty turnover prone … Doesn't really like to pass the ball…There are legit questions about his maturity and character …

Running the point for a young Michigan team, Morris has really stood out with his ability to utilize his size, ball-handling ability, and craftiness to get into the paint and make plays. His ability to finish in the lane and in the midrange area is highlighted by the fact that he's shooting an excellent 56% on 2-pointers so far this season, where he's shown that he's capable of finishing in a variety ways. He's also doing a much better job drawing contact at the rim this season, as he's getting to the line at a much rate than he did as a freshman.
Confident lead guard with a good amount of mismatch potential ... Excellent size for a point guard, standing 6'5.25" tall with a 6'7.5" wingspan ... Strong finishing ability due to size and body control ... Powerful first step, which is surprising considering his lack of great foot speed ... Very aggressive ... Can drive well with either hand ... Uses hesitations, spin moves and crossovers to break down his defender in isolation situations ... Has the potential to use his size in the post against smaller point guards ... Very gifted passer in a half-court offense ... Tremendous court vision ...
Doesn't possess any outstanding athletic qualities ... Not an explosive leaper ... Lacks great speed or quickness ... Lacks a great understanding of how to control transition opportunities, often attempting to force the issue despite being outnumbered ... Underdeveloped catch-and-shoot ability hurts his potential to play well without dominating the ball... Prone to taking ill-advised shots ...
Developing into one of the most well-rounded guards in college basketball, Nolan Smith has answered some questions about his NBA future by filling in for Kyrie Irving on one of the nation's best teams, while leaving some still unanswered. Standing at 6'3", with a solid frame and good length, whether or not teams view Smith as capable of running the point for an extended period of time may determine how high he goes on draft night.
Having played the role of a combo guard in years past, Smith has shown an improved ability to run a team this year. He has edged into the tail end of the top 25 of NCAA point guard prospects in assists per-40 minutes pace adjusted, although his other point guard metrics still look underwhelming since he can be turnover prone at times. This is a problem largely stemming from the increased offensive burden he's asked to carry in the absence of Irving, a role which will likely decrease in the NBA.
Smith was a major contributor on a Duke team coming off a National Championship ... At 6'3, he has nice size and length for a point guard, and has enough overall awareness and skill to play off the ball as well ... With the ball in his hands, Smith's high basketball IQ and excellent ball security allow him to efficiently run an offense ...
Smith's biggest obstacle at the next level will be trying to create separation between him and his defender ... He lacks explosiveness, and therefore takes longer to execute his move and get by his defender... He's not a dynamic athlete, which limits his upside considering he already struggles in the one on one game...
Outside the 3-point arc, McCamey demonstrated that he's a top notch shooter at the point guard position, connecting on an excellent 45% of his 3-pointers this season. He's comfortable shooting off the dribble or off the catch, and he has range well past the NBA 3-point line. This bodes well for him going forward, and should help to open up the floor for dribble penetration for himself and his teammates, especially if he needs to spend time playing off the ball, which is certainly a possibility at his size.
McCamey's defense also looked to drop off this season. We've noted before that he'll likely face questions about his lateral quickness, but he seemed to lack the focus and consistent energy level on the defensive end, leading to him getting caught out of position and beat off the dribble far too often.
Physically, Thomas has intriguing tools that mesh well with what he brought to the table on the college level. He's a bit undersized for a NBA power forward at just 6'8, but his 7'2 wingspan made him a menacing shot blocker at SDSU and allows him to play a bit taller than he's listed. While his 220 pound frame could still use additional muscle, Thomas is a good all-around athlete, running the floor well and looking exceptionally quick off his feet when pursuing rebounds.
The biggest question marks about Thomas revolve around his jump shot. Through Synergy data indicates that Thomas made just 6 of the 25 jumpers he attempted last season, Thomas has promising form that with continued polish and repetition could open up a number of facets of his game. He didn't attempt too many jumpers here, but if he wants to improve his NBA stock, he'd be well served to diversify the roles he can play by honing his midrange game.
A good rebounder in college, Jackson didn't especially stand out in that department here. He pulled in a solid 8.0 rebounds in 26 minutes per game, but his own numbers weren't helped any by sharing a frontcourt with Old Dominion's Frank Hassell, who led the entire tournament in rebounding by a wide margin. Looking to the NBA, Jackson's work on the boards is still his best selling point, but it's worth noting on a per-minute pace-adjusted basis, he was outrebounded by over 20 players in our database this past season.
Rick Jackson began his senior year close to 30 pounds lighter, which has paid off so far over two months into the season ... Jackson rarely operates outside of the paint, scoring most of his points when he's established deep position under the hoop or on second chance opportunities ... He has a good feel for the basket up to ten feet or so, using his length and new found mobility to grab rebounds and finish in traffic ... In the post, he uses his strength to back down his defender and finish over him ...
Jackson lacks advanced post moves, and isn't necessarily a threat one on one ... He hasn't shown he's capable of knocking down shots from the outside, and possesses little to no face-up game or any real ability to beat his defender off the dribble ... Post skills are unrefined ... Very poor free throw shooter ...
Not only has Williams put in some serious work on
his body, he's also made a considerable effort to add to his game.
Williams was one of the few players in three-on-three competition not
named Jon Diebler
confident enough to attempt jump shots under the one-shot-and-out rules
the prospects were playing under. We didn't see much in the way of a
midrange game from Williams at Maryland, but his form looks compact,
consistent, and is definitely a notable development in his arsenal.
Broad shoulders and burly body have the potential to be chiseled into a
vintage power forward ... Has dramatically improved his conditioning
since he arrived on campus, but work remains to be done ... Works hard
on the court as well as off it, hustling down court on fast breaks more
often than many others his size. ... Impossible to stop when he's
moving forward in the paint because of his size. ... Very soft touch
combined with a willingness to go with a layup instead of a risky dunk
... Developing instincts as far as passing out of double teams ...
Perhaps the most improved player in the country between his freshman
and sophomore seasons, and the room to grow is still obvious ...
Still a bit out of shape and lumbers at times because he's always
running up and down the court. Plays hard but not always smart ...
Still needs to improve at feeling a double team rather than turning
into it before realizing he needs to pass ... Lacks ideal length and
often seems to be at his worse when longer, taller players smother him
in the post. ...
Benson's ability to add weight and become an
interior force is important, as he isn't a strong candidate to be a
high usage player due to his inconsistency, lack of a go-to-move, and
average decision-making skills. However, he flashes glimpses of some
extremely interesting tools offensively, including a hook shot with his
off-hand, the ability to use the glass, and a knack for finishing
short-range looks. With almost half of his touches coming in the post,
Benson has very nice footwork and phenomenal touch, but he'll need to
add weight to help himself establish position on the block in the
Late blooming bigman "hiding out" at mid major Oakland University ...
An excellent athlete particularly considering his size ... Owns a big
wingspan (7-foot-2 roughly) ... Showed a lot of improvement between his
freshman and sophomore seasons (5.2 & 3.5 to 14.3 & 7.8) ...
Appears to still have a fair amount of room to improve ... Great in the
open floor, runs very well ... Offensive skills are a work in progress
but beginning to show nice development ... Has a solid jump hook ...
Excellent touch on mid range shots ... Effectively uses the glass ...
Completes a lot of ally oop dunks ...
Strength is his biggest hurdle. Still needs to add a lot of core
strength ... At his current weight, he'll get pushed around in the
paint at the next level ... Born in 1988, there is still hope that he
can add a fair amount of muscle ... Will need to put weight on without
affecting his mobility ... Appears 3-4 years of work in the weight room
away from finding his optimum playing weight ...
A threat to establish deep post position at any
time thanks to his terrific strength, Dunigan has extremely soft hands
which allow him to catch virtually anything thrown his way. The
overwhelming majority of his offense comes in this fashion, as he
doesn't possess a plethora of moves he can go to if he needs to create
his own offense. Dunigan regardless gets to the free throw line at an
excellent rate, although he only converts on 58% of his attempts once
there. He seems to have nice touch around the rim (especially on his
turnaround jumper and jump-hook), to complement his quick feet, so it
may only be a matter of time until he improves substantially in these
The rest of Dunigan's offense needs plenty of
work. Right now he's a fairly poor passer, looking somewhat
single-minded once he catches the ball and decides to go to work. He
doesn't run the floor all that well, often appearing to be the last one
up the court, jogging at a leisurely pace. He also shows very little
resembling a face-up game, looking fairly awkward when attempting to
shoot jumpers outside of 8 feet (which is reflected in his poor free
throw percentages) and also not possessing any real ball-handling
skills either. At 6-10, NBA teams would probably like to see Dunigan be
able to spend at least a little time at the power forward position, but
right now his skill-set is much closer to that of a traditional center.
Smith shows improved decision making abilities,
however, cutting down on his turnovers and fouls while displaying
improved passing and off-the-ball movement. Unfortunately, his motor
still runs hot and cold, which leads to periods of ineffectiveness and
invisibility on the offensive end. This, in addition to Fresno State's
miserable offensive execution, likely explains his mediocre production
and usage rate.
Has a tremendous package of size and strength for an
18 year old freshman (born January 1991) ... Has the body and
willingness to play physically inside the paint ... Has a huge frame
with wide shoulders and thick legs making it difficult to move him
around in the post. It's scary to think how strong he will be in a few
years ... Unlike many players with his dimensions, Smith has nice
agility and athleticism ... Also shows excellent quickness on post
moves ... Has excellent hands to corral rebounds and post passes ...
While he appears to be an excellent post prospect,
his post game remains very raw. Post moves need refinement. He should
develop some drop step moves and work with coaches on developing a few
go to moves ... Needs to improve from the free throw line (shooting
around 50% from the FT line 9 games info his freshman season). This
becomes particularly important considering his bruising style of game
and amount of trips to the line he figures to get in the future ...
Needs to improve on his shooting range ...

Space Channel 5: Part 2, Sega Bass Fishing Coming to XBLA & PSNSega has announced another pair of Dreamcast classics will receive downloadable releases on Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network in "early 2011," namely Sega Bass Fishing and the groove-tastic Space Channel 5: Part 2.
Celebrated dance 'em Space Channel 5: Part 2 was created by Tetsuya Mizuguchi, who went on to make Rez, and famously features Michael Jackson. Sega Bass Fishing, on the other hand, well, was a fishing game, also released on Wii in 2008.
"The release of these games marks SEGA's ongoing effort to bring its best-sellers from the Dreamcast era to the latest consoles," said Haruki Satomi, Sega VP of digital business, in the announcement. "We want to enable a new generation of players to experience some of the most celebrated titles our video game history has to offer, while at the same time appealing to our enthusiastic and much appreciated community of fans."
Sega has yet to announced release dates and prices, though the first two Dreamcast re-releases, Sonic Adventure and Crazy Taxi, are priced at $10 (800 Microsoft Points) each. Sonic Adventure came out in September while Crazy Taxi is due in late November.

OMG Life has announced that Autographer, the world's first camera to capture images independently and hands-free, will be on general sale from today in the UK.
The Autographer, announced back in September last year can capture thousands of images per day simply by being worn around the user's neck. Operating completely independently of any user input, it's an unprecedented tool for recording every detail of a person's day.
The camera features 5MP of resolution, Bluetooth capabilities and an OLED display. Its images are snapped on a 136º wide-angle lens, giving them a very distinctive, immediately recognisable look.
Image: The new Autographer camera in 'off' position (see the yellow cover over the lens)
The camera uses five on-board sensors to determine the right moments to take a picture - a colour and brightness sensor; an inbuilt thermometer to measure ambient temperature; a magnetometer to determine direction; a PIR infrared motion detector; and an accelerometer that determines whether the camera is moving.
Image: With slender dimensions 37.4x90x22.9mm, weighing 58g, the Autographer shouldn't cause any discomfort hanging around your neck
BBC correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones recently took the camera out for a spin, and you can see how he got on here. We were able to get our hands on some images taken with the Autographer so you can see for yourself how they come out:
The 8GB of memory in the Autographer can store up to 28,000 images. This may sound like a lot, though bear in mind if you've got the thing taking thousands of photos every day it will fill up quicker than you'd think. OMG Life estimates that at maximum capture settings you'll be taking about 2000 photos a day, so you'd need to clear it out every twelve days or so.
The camera comes with desktop software and an app, currently available for iOS and soon to be for Android. It's available now, priced at £399.99, and you can find out more by visiting www.autographer.com.

The Kardashians have more than their fair share of enemies. Too many people to count are incensed by the fact that the entire clan is rich and famous for basically having cameras follow them as they do nothing. Surely by now, they are used to the nasty insults hurled their way. The latest diss? Chelsea Handler mercilessly slams Kris Jenner.
The trouble began when President Obama made a disparaging remark about one of her clients kids. He said that years ago, children "weren't monitoring every day what Kim Kardashian was wearing ... and thinking that somehow was the mark of success." Kris didn't appreciate the quip and reportedly Chelsea overhead her saying that it was "completely unpresidential for the leader of the free world to publicly trash Kim."
Well, Chelsea marched right over the Kris and told her to "shut her f**king pie hole." But Kris didn't back down. Sources say that she shot back that the crass comedian only likes Obama because he was black. Of course Chelsea didn't let her have the last word. She started laughing and asked if Kris has checked who her daughters are with.
It was like high school mean girls at their worst. What are they, 15 years old? They both should be ashamed of themselves. But I have to say that Chelsea is more in the wrong here. Kris was just defending her child -- something any protective mother would do. Perhaps Chelsea should take her own advice and shut her own pie hole next time.
Do you think Kris was right to defend Kim? Are you glad Chelsea told her off?

Frankly, I find both Handler and Kar-crashian vividly and breathtakingly annoying and boring.
don't like either. kris, money hungry sell out. chelsea, mean girl.
You go Chelsea, I now have new respect for you. Kris Jenner only cares about money. Look in her eyes and you will see dollar signs. How much help has she been to Rob? Very little.

By Tayleigh Davis - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) - Brooke and Gunnery Sergeant Anthony Kratz are celebrating the Marine Corps birthday. Not long ago, his wife celebrated his return from Iraq and now they're celebrating 20 years of marriage.
"When you're apart you remember how much you love eachother," Mrs. Kratz said. "It's not that you can't live without each other, you don't want to live without eachother "
Mr. and Mrs. Kratz joined more than a 1,000 other people for the Cake cutting ceremony, marine band, and sword detail. Col. Terry Reid hosted the event inside the maintenance center.
"As part of that tradition we respect our oldest and youngest marines,"Col. Reid said.
LCpl. Michael Canter- the youngest marine on the base and Retired marine David Bailey - the oldest marine shared a piece of the cake together which is part of the 234 year tradition.
"Back in the day I kicked my heels up at a young kid but as I got older I had to give it to the Good Lord," Bailey.
"It was amazing to be with that retired master gunnery sergeant up here," LCpl. Michael Canter said.
Kratz who is also a gunnery sergeant says he enjoys being a mentor to the younger marines, but on his wedding anniversary,he says his focus is on his wife.

Breakfast at Tiffany's, Barbie's, and Sally's
Michael is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Lately, I've been having morning javas and marmalade-smothered crumpets, while performing due diligence concerning three companies. This has led to fine morning connections with the always-dynamic Tiffany, Barbie, and Sally.
Tiffany & Co. (NYSE: TIF) is involved in product design, manufacturing and retailing activities. Their principal subsidiary is Tiffany and Co. - a jeweler and specialty retailer. Tiffany and Co.'s vast selection of jewelry was responsible for 91 percent of the subsidiary's net sales in fiscal 2011.
Over breakfast, Tiffany reported sales growth for the two-month period ended Dec. 31, 2012. Global Net Sales increased 4 percent to $992 million, while comparable store sales were unchanged from the prior year. Sipping my coffee, I mused to her that investors are much happier when comparable store sales show an increase. It's a sign of aggressive marketing and promotions despite a tough retail environment.
The Chairman and CEO of Tiffany, Michael J. Kowalski, said, "… due to uncertainty about general economic conditions in all our major markets, management is planning sales growth conservatively for 2013 and at this point expects net earnings growth of 6% - 9%."
Tiffany's management team has the resources to embark on expansion plans. Tiffany & Co. is planning sales growth, and they've got strategies in place for growth. They're not sitting back and riding rough economic waters, just hoping for a good outcome--they're making calculated forays into turbulent waters. This optimism and corporate confidence is something for investors to consider.
Consider the corporate mindset of companies. Being prudent and conservative is the new "exciting" since 2008. Forecasts based on hype and hope, not on fundamentals, mean absolutely zilch. I have more trust in seasoned companies presenting conservative estimates based on researched realities than flamboyant forecasts of little substance.
Tiffany smiled and asked me if I've talked to Barbie lately. I told her I was heading over to Mattel (NASDAQ: MAT) to do just that.
Mattel is the international leader in the design, manufacture, and marketing of toys and family products. Their top-selling brands include Barbie, the most popular fashion doll ever introduced, as Barbie told me while she tore open a low-calorie sweetener and poured it into her cappuccino. Their Barbie line includes Barbie Dolls and Girls' Games, Videos, and Activities.
In October 2012, Mattel reported 2012 third quarter financial results. They reported Net Income of $365.9 million, or $1.04 per share. This compares to the prior year's third quarter net income of $300.8 million, or $0.86 per share. For the quarter, Net Sales were $2.08 billion, up 4 percent. On a regional basis, third quarter Gross Sales increased 6 percent in the North American region (U.S., Canada and American Girl). Operating income for the quarter was $487.4 million, compared to the prior year's operating income for the quarter of $397.6 million.
For the third quarter, global Gross Sales for Mattel Girls & Boys Brands were $1.37 billion - up 3 percent compared to the year prior. A tear rolled down Barbie's cheek as she said that worldwide gross sales for the Barbie brand were down 4 percent. Meanwhile, worldwide gross sales for Other Girls Brands were up 57 percent.
While Barbie's still a major brand with huge overall market strength, investors may want to look into other product offerings the company has that can help them weather sales lulls in brands with rich histories. This would include the company's American Girl Brands - a wholly owned subsidiary of Mattel. American Girl has a broad array of books and age-appropriate and educational products.
My next appointment was to get to Sally's before lunch. Sally Beauty Holdings (NYSE: SBH) is a global specialty retailer and distributor of professional beauty supplies. The company sells and distributes through 4,500 stores. In November 2012, they announced strong financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended Sept. 30, 2012. For the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, consolidated net sales were $882.6 million. This represents an increase of 5.4 percent from the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter. Consolidated net sales for fiscal year 2012 were $3.5 billion, an increase of 7.8 percent from fiscal year 2011. It seems Tiffany and Barbie may have made a few trips to their specialty stores.
For the fiscal fourth quarter of 2012, GAAP net earnings grew 20.7 percent to $65.6 million, or $0.35 per diluted earnings per share, over net earnings of $54.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted earnings per share in Q4 2011. For fiscal year 2012, GAAP net earnings grew 9.0 percent to $233.1 million, or $1.24 per diluted earnings per share, over GAAP net earnings of $213.7 million, or $1.14 per diluted earnings per share in 2011. For fiscal year 2012, adjusted net earnings grew 33.4 percent to $267.2 million, or $1.42 per diluted earnings per share.
Investors should note that the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter and overall fiscal 2012 sales increased due to same stores sales growth, the addition of new stores, and acquisitions. Growth in same store sales is especially notable--it speaks of the company finding new ways to squeeze extra sales from existing operations. Investors should consider retailers who grow same store sales via aggressive marketing and promotions, competitive pricing, and the right product mix within those stores.
It may be time to stop my little morning rendezvous' - however harmless – with Tiffany, Barbie, and Sally. My wife's getting suspicious. However, she said if the potential for robust returns is strong, she might turn her head a while longer, if these three continue to show promise in funneling potential returns to investors.

Plus Size Double-Collar Raincoat 6 6
Classic Coat I've taken this raincoat with me on every trip since I got it. It has been gobbed up in overhead compartments and totes, and when I put it on it's still smooth and classy. I also want to state that it truly keeps the water out! I've been in downpours and remained perfectly dry in this coat (well, at least down to my knees!). May 13, 2011
Bad engineering on the double zipper This is a lovely raincoat except for the design of the double zipper. Only 1 out of 4 attempts will work the first time. The design of two different zipper tabs is a bad idea, the first is much narrower than the second tab, so your fingers always want to grab the largest tab first. The zipper doesn't work well at all, which was disappointing. I normally do not pay this much for a spring coat, however I really needed a waterproof jacket for travel. I love the overall design and the rest of the jacket is great, with wonderful features. The engineering on zipper needs attention and that is why I would not recommend it to others until this flaw is addressed. April 13, 2010
Lightwieght Coat Packable and lightweight even with the lining. I ordered an 1X, my normal size. Unfortunately it was too small to fit over anything but the lightest clothing and the sleeves were too short. Had to return it. December 12, 2013
Beautiful Coat Too Small I was surprised that the coat was too small, not true size. Disappointed since the workmanship is excellent. December 10, 2013
Best raincoat Best raincoat ever. Bought it first in tan and then in black. June 19, 2013
great travel and everyday coat bought this coat for my mother for our trip to China. She is very pleased with the cut and fit of the coat as well the many pockets. It looks beautiful on her and quality is very nice. We bought it for the weatherproof ability and the liner that can be added for more warmth. So far so good. May 2, 2010

It looks like ugly has gone and flipped on us again.
With the exception of a really nice start from Cole Hamels, not much went well for the Phillies this weekend against the Boston Red Sox. Kendrick and Halladay both had ugly outings, with Halladay's start particularly worrisome given his recent pitch counts. The Phils were shut out and nearly no-hit in game two of the series. They were nearly shut out again in yesterday's game before they put three runs on the board in the bottom of the ninth.
They also lost Jimmy Rollins again. Rollins pulled up lame after singling in the sixth inning of game one and left with a right calf strain. His most recent trip to the DL ensures we'll be seeing more of Juan Castro and Wilson Valdez manning short in the next few weeks.
The Phillies are 26-17 after dropping two of three to the Red Sox this weekend. They have lost four of six and scored 15 runs in their last six games. They still have a 3 1/2 game lead in the NL East, but we should all keep an eye on the Braves who are now in second place and have won seven of their last ten.
The Phils won game one 5-1 behind a great start by Hamels, but lost Rollins. Rollins pulled up with an injury to his right calf after singling in the sixth inning and is back on the DL. Hamels was fantastic in the game, holding the Red Sox to a run on three hits and a walk over seven innings. Howard and Werth homered early for the Phils and Herndon, Baez and Contreras combined to keep Boston off the board after Hamels left the game.
Almost getting no-hit by Daisuke Matsuzaka was the story of game two. Castro's looping single just out of the reach of Marco Scutaro was the only hit of the game for the Phils. Kendrick got the start for the Phils and didn't pitch well, allowing five runs and exiting before the end of the fifth.
Halladay didn't pitch well in game three and the Phils lost 8-3. They were nearly shut out again, too, but avoided that with three runs in the bottom of the ninth. Dobbs made a big error at third with one out and the bases loaded in the top of the fourth, turning an inning-ending double-play into an inning extender and helping the Red Sox plate a pair of runs. Halladay just wasn't good, though, allowing seven runs over 5 2/3 innings coming off a 132-pitch outing. Gload delivered another pinch-hit home run in the bottom of the ninth, driving in two of the three runs in the game for the Phils.
Hamels got the start in game one and went seven innings, allowing a run on three hits and a walk. Two of the hits went for extra-bases, a double and a home run. He struck out eight. In four starts in May he's 3-0 with a 2.36 ERA.
Kendrick started game two. He went 4 2/3 innings and was charged with five runs on eight hits and two walks. Four of the hits went for extra-bases, all doubles. He has a 5.66 ERA for the year. Lefties are hitting 344/414/594 against him.
Halladay started game three and went 5 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks. Only six of the runs were earned. Three of the hits went for extra-bases, a double, a triple and a home run. He struck out just one. The Phillies are 0-3 in the last three games Halladay has started and continue to play miserable defense behind him.
Manuel and Halladay both seem sure that 132-pitches in his previous start and 121 the start before that weren't a factor. I'm not.
Bastardo entered game two in the fifth inning with two outs, a man on second and the Phils down 5-0. He struck out Jeremy Hermida to end the frame. He came back and got two strikeouts in a 1-2-3 sixth to set down the bottom of the Boston order.
Romero entered in the ninth inning of game one with one out, men on first and second and the Phillies up 5-1. He got JD Drew on a ground out to first that moved the runners to second and third for the first out. He then hit Adrian Beltre with a pitch. It brought the tying run to the plate. With the lefty Romero on the mound, the lefty David Oritz hit for the righty Bill Hall. Romero got Ortiz on a fly ball to center to end the game.
Romero also pitched the eighth inning of game three. He allowed a single to Adrian Beltre to start the inning before getting Jeremy Hermida on a ground out for the first out. Marco Scutaro drew a walk to put men on first and second, but the pitcher Tim Wakefield couldn't bunt and struck out for the second out and Romero got Jacoby Ellsbury looking to leave both men stranded.
Righties are now hitting .181 and slugging .181 against Romero for the year but on-basing .400.
Herndon pitched the eighth inning of game one with a 5-1 lead and set the Red Sox down in order. He also pitched the ninth inning of game two with the Phils down 5-0. He walked Mike Lowell with one out but got the two hitters behind him. He has a 2.45 ERA and a 1.09 ratio in five appearances in May. Opponents are still hitting .390 against him for the season.
Durbin pitched in game three. He entered in the sixth with two outs and a man on first and the Phillies down 7-0. He got Dustin Pedroia to pop to first for the third out. He came back to throw a 1-2-3 seventh.
Durbin has made nine appearances this month and nine of them has been good. Overall he's thrown to a 2.61 ERA in May while allowing four hits and four walks over 10 1/3 innings.
Figueroa threw a 1-2-3 seventh in game two with the Phillies down 5-0. He came back for the eighth and allowed a two-out single to Hermida before getting Jason Varitek on a hard hit ground ball to first for the third out.
Baez started the ninth inning of game one with a 5-1 lead. He got the leadoff man before allowing a single to Victor Martinez and a walk to Kevin Youkilis. Romero came in to pitch to the lefty Drew.
He also pitched yesterday in game three, entering to pitch the ninth with the Phillies down 7-0. Pedroia walked to start the inning and moved to third when Victor Martinez followed with a double. Youkilis flew to right for the first out. Darnell McDonald hit for JD Drew and reached with the help of a Hoover error on a rundown to load the bases. Beltre delivered a sac fly to make it 8-0 before Baez got Hermida on a ground ball to end the inning.
The run was unearned thanks to the error. Baez has a 1.23 ERA over his last eight appearances, but opponents are hitting .345 against him in those games.
Contreras did not pitch in the series.
Nobody in the bullpen has pitched more than one day in a row and the Phillies don't play today. Baez threw 20 pitches yesterday and Romero and Durbin each threw 18.
The Phillies scored eight runs in the three-game series.
Victorino was 2-for-11 with a double and two walks in the series. He's hitting 257/308/475 for the year.
Polanco didn't start yesterday and went 0-for-7 with two walks in the series. 298/333/444 for the year.
Utley was 3-for-10 with a triple and two walks in the set. 307/429/587 for the year and 343/427/629 so far in May.
Howard was 2-for-9 with a home run and two walks in the series. 299/351/486 on the year. He's on pace to hit 30 home runs.
Werth was 4-for-11 with two doubles and a home run. 327/401/647 for the season. He's walked once in his last 29 at-bats. Still on pace to hit 83 doubles, which would be a lot compared to other people who have played baseball in the past.
Ibanez was 2-for-9 with two doubles and two walks. 245/349/403 for the year. 220/289/366 against lefties for the year.
Rollins was 1-for-3 with a walk in game one before hitting the DL again. He is at 341/462/634 in 41 at-bats for the season. Castro took over for Rollins at short and was 2-for-8 with a double in the set. He's hitting 260/272/312 for the year.
Ruiz started the first two games of the series and was 0-for-8 in the series with three strikeouts. 297/429/406 on the year. He's 0-for-his-last-13.
Hoover started yesterday's game. He was 0-for-3 in the series and is 5-for-18 for the year. He made a throwing error in a rundown in yesterday's game.
Dobbs started at third yesterday and made a key error. He was 0-for-6 with a strikeout in the series. He's 2-for-his-last-21 and hitting 154/233/308. He's hitting 228/283/368 since the end of 2008.
Gload was 1-for-2 with a home run and two RBI in the series. He's 7-for-29 on the year.
Francisco was 0-for-1 in the series and is just 1-for-8 in May.
No game today.
Jamie Moyer (5-3, 4.30) faces righty RA Dickey (0-0, 3.00) tomorrow in New York as the Phils start a three-game set with the Mets. Moyer has been great in two of his last three starts and has gone at least six innings in every start this year. Dickey has made one start on the year and held the Nats to two runs over six innings.
Wilson Valdez is back on the roster, taking the spot left when Rollins went on the DL.
Brian Schneider should be back for tomorrow's game.

Read what our patients are saying about the special personal care by our doctors and staff and about our technology and designer fashions.
I've almost forgotten I have Dry Eye Syndrome. My eyes feel great now because Golden Optometric got to the root of the problem, taught me how to care for my eyes, and most importantly, Dr. Andrew Wong carefully adjusted and fine tuned my treatment as needed. So grateful to have been referred to the dry eye experts!
Janie B, Covina
Always have a positive experience visiting Golden Optometric. My first visit was as a youngster with Dr. Golden Senior in Whittier. When I married I brought my husband and he loved the service (more than his optometrist) and have since brought all three of my children, now ages 26 thru 19 and still coming to your office now in West Covina. Your offices have always been a place of trust and excellent service. Love the staff!!
Laura P., Hacienda Heights
...I was having so much trouble with my eyes. Not only was I having problems with my vision but my eyes were also itchy, irritated and red. Dr. Golden quickly diagnosed me with dry eyes. He treated for dry eyes and my eyes feel great! Thank you Dr. Golden!
Alma M., La Puente
I have never seen Dr. Golden without a smile, such a rare quality. His staff is always very sweet and helpful and I would recommend his practice highly.
April Q., Fullerton
I love my Optometrist office!! I am privileged to be a patient of Golden Optometric Group for over 40 years...They far exceed my expectations as great eye doctors and a great office staff....I "trust" my eye doctor's office with the most valuable gift of my eye sight.

Your pro-active approach on supplying great customer service and a wide variety of product selection has always been admirable, leaving very little room for suggestions. GREAT JOB EVERYONE!!!!
Elizabeth D., Ontario
Dr. Wong is very friendly and took his time to explain the exam. Nancy is ALWAYS friendly to my wife and me every time we come in. I appreciate the professionalism demonstrated in this office and these two employees should be recognized for superior customer service. Thanks!!
John P., Walnut
Our family truly loves going to see Dr. Ivy Lin. She explains everything thoroughly. Dr. Lin is awesome with our children. My son has Autism and Dr. Lin was so patient with him. We will definitely keep going to Golden Optometric. Thank you!
Patricia V., Rancho Cucamonga
I've been seeing Dr. Sheldon and then Dr. David Golden since the Cal Store days in Pico Rivera, and the service has only gotten better. Keep up the good work!!!!
Manuel S., Los Angeles
I have been going to Dr. Golden for many years now, and would not even consider going anywhere else. Dr. Golden is a very caring and attentive doctor; you always feel your getting the best care possible. Also the entire office is very efficient and helpful.
Julie H., Whittier
Dr. Wong has been more than patient and takes his time to help me with all my questions and concerns. I am so pleased with his service and I am so happy I came to Golden Optometric!!!!! What a beautiful and professional nice office.
I've been a long time patient and will continue due to your excellent eye care and customer service. Thank you once again.
Cynthia G., Whittier
Every time it is time to drive there I think I need to find an eye doctor that is closer- but then when I leave (the office) I think I would drive even farther to get that kind of care.
Cindy E., Long Beach

The overall service was outstanding. I couldn't have asked for better service...BTW - please tell Summer Jackson that she's awesome as well. Thanks!!
Darcy C. Whittier
I have been a patient of Dr. Golden's for more than 20 years, and I wouldn't have it any other way! Though I've moved a distance from Dr. Golden's office, my trust in the care I receive has me driving to Whittier from West L.A. for my eye exams and contact lens care for years already.
Janet K., Santa Monica

It's helpful to have a provider who is thorough both in the office visit and the follow up contact.
...what I also like about your office is that you are up-to-date with state-of the-art equipment. I plan to bring the rest of my family there. Dr. Ardaya was also very personable and was thorough in explaining my test results.

Was very pleased with the service I received. Had surgery and the support and follow up were amazing. This will now be my official Optometry doctors! Thank you all!
The staff and Dr. David Golden are professional, friendly, courteous, and very helpful. Need glasses? Go see these people.
Arie K., Whittier
Your staff are exceptional with customer service from the receptionist calls, to intake of patients, to th MD exam, and to the final glasses/frame selection! That is why I keep coming back! Just as Dr. Golden stated in his article "If you take care of your customers, they will take care of you!" I have been a patient with your office for over 20 years and it certainly is because of "how well you treat your patients"! Dr. Golden and his staff clearly lead by example! Thanks for the wonderful patient care! Your staff are friendly, patient and professional. You all are AWESOME at customer service!
The wait time was great, I loved my visit, as soon as I walked in I was welcomed, the staff was friendly the Dr's were great.

Alumnus, academy of achievement

Many people in this world are more famous than me. I guess that means they're better people than me, right? And better than you, right?
I probably don't even need to example some people more famous than me, famous for their positive achievements. Brad Pitt; Bill Gates; Peyton Manning; and so on. If they're more famous than me for good things they've done, that means they're better than me, right? And also better than you, right?
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Wyatt TantonMar 18 2013: Not necessarily, it simply means they have accomplished something positive in an industry more centered around individuals. Doesn't make them better people, and it doesn't make famous people better people in general (Charlie Sheen comes to mind). Odds are, if you have a job, you are helpful.
I think you might need to differentiate between success and being an overall good person. People like Brad Pitt earn way more money than most people, and is more well known, so you could say he's a successful person, but being a good person is something you would need to know him more personally. His actions towards others are what would make him a good person.
Mar 31 2013: Yeah, in many industries that are oriented towards teamwork, individuals still rise and shine as the famous ones. Football is a team sport, but Peyton Manning, who I mentioned above, has risen and become a star. Moviemaking is a team proposition, it takes many people to make a movie, but Brad Pitt has risen and become a star. Business is a team proposition, it takes many people to run a big business, and yet Bill Gates has risen to become a star.
Wyatt, I really think that success and being a good person go hand in hand. I don't know that I have to know Brad Pitt, I think in order to be a successful actor he must have talked to and met a lot of different people and really thought about them, thought about them deeply so he can depict them well on the screen. Meeting people, talking to them, thinking about them are things that already make you a good person, they are good things to do. If he were a bad person, noone would want to meet him and talk to him, and therefore he wouldn't have as much to draw on when he gives a performance, and therefore noone would want to watch him act.

Before and After: A Budget Kitchen Makeover
The Evans' Smallholding
When Theresa and her family first bought their home it had been unused for a long time. But with the sweat off their brows, some thoughtful budget spends, and some clever DIYs they are turning their unused house into a gorgeous home. Here's a peek at how they handled the kitchen.
They repaired all the windows themselves, pulled up layers of flooring, made their own splash back using a metal yard offcut, found most of their appliances at second-hand auctions and collected what they could from op-shops, markets and roadsides.
You can check out the full before and after here and see more pictures from Theresa's gorgeous house on her blog,the evans' smallholding.

The end result is really lovely and looks much like a much more expensive custom kitchen...and I am envious of the stove!!
That being said, I am sad the original cabinets and countertop had to be ripped out. They are seriously cool.
I agree with millcitymodern: while the remodel looks lovely, the original had so very much character! I hope someone somewhere got to reuse those cabinets and hardware.
i guess i dont see the character in the original... the transformation is gorgeous!
I don't know how "budget" it is, but it looks very nice :)
oh wow! it looked like such a dump before, holy! what a wonderful job they did.
appliance... auctions? Off to the site to try and glean more about that process.
I agree with millcitymodern and amenity. Nice remodel.. but that just it its "nice" and like any other kitchen. The before kitchen had character! I hate it when people destroy the original design/architecture of a home!
I really liked the old. I would have kept them and replaced those energy sucking jalousie windows.
Um look the before was hideous. The after is nice. I would understand people complaining about them pulling out not ugly cabinets that were still functional, but they were fugly. Nice job on the redo.
Those before cabinets had to go! Seemed like they were already warped and probably couldn't hold up the countertop very well, especially in the second pic.
Why is there two narrow fridges? Is one a freezer? Beautiful after. I love the stove and butcher block counter tops. You are so lucky to have that beautiful view while cooking. I opted to have no windows along my kitchen counters because I needed the cabinet space but I do miss gazing out the window at the dogs playing in the yard.
I don't see character in the original either. What an amazing job you've done!!
I like the after but I am fascinated with the old counters with the giant bumpers (?) can't make up my mind if I like them or not.
I'm the owner of this house and I want to assure all of those concerned that those fabulous counters were really beyond repair. They were warped, falling to pieces and there were rats living in them! Initially the plan was to keep them or as much as possible but on closer inspection they just couldn't be saved. I have saved all the hardware from the cabinets which will be used on another project. We didn't decide lightly to remove the original kitchen but, so you get some idea, the photos make them look good compared to what they were like!
i'm sorry but it is obvious that the old kitchen was beyond "salvaging" for "character". The old place looks like a crack den, the new place is much nicer and has a ton of charm and character. I don't think it looks cookie cutter at all.
Normally I HATE when the vintage cabinets with all the charm are ripped out just to be replaced by IKEA blah, but this time I have to say those were AWFUL! What was that bump thing?? The new kitchen is nice.
I fail to see any charm or character in the original; it was tragic. The new kitchen might be rather standard in appearance, but it is a gigantic improvement. "Crack den" sums it up well, JNS.
What wonderful windows to have in a kitchen. The renovation turned out nice too.
Theresa -- I saw in the original post that they were "Ikea flat pack cabinets" -- which ones? We're doing a remodel very similar to yours and Ramsjo --even though it's all wood, which is our usual preference -- looked just a smidge too modern, so were thinking Lidingo (for a 1920 bungalow). Are those yours? Is the hardware from Ikea too? Looks great!!
