Olivia's Game

The kids are playing soccer this year. I am coaching Kiera's team and haven't had a chance to see many of Livi's games but, today I had the chance to not only watch but, to shoot photos as well. Here are some of the shots.



Olivia is Fearless and will take on anyone not matter the size.


















Here she is taking on 2 defenders. She won the battle. Not that I'm proud or anything.


















She is also a good leader and shouts out instructions for the other players. Most of the time the instructions are the same. "Pass me the Ball!"














Fun times for sure!

Governor Jan Brewers Reaction to the Healthcare Bill

Governor Brewers office sent me this just moments ago. Notice that the burden to pay for this healthcare bill is going to fall on the States and with the State already struggling to pay for it's own over-spending it means one thing "New Higher Taxes!"

STATEMENT BY GOVERNOR JAN BREWER


“Yesterday, the Democrats in the United States Congress approved a more than 2,000 page healthcare bill that is financially devastating to the State of Arizona , as well as many other states across the nation. Despite my opposition and the opposition of a vast majority of Arizonans, and although it is clear that the costs of these programs are completely unsustainable, every single Arizona Democrat in Congress voted for this bill and its massive costs to our state budget. They are personally and directly responsible for growing our state budget deficit. This federal bill is not even 24 hours old, and yet some of Arizona ’s legislative Democrats are already proposing a tax increase to pay for its increased costs.

“As passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, this over $1 trillion federal government takeover of healthcare is paid for on the backs of state governments. With its back-room loopholes, it will cost the citizens of the State of Arizona at least $1 billion in 2012 and more than $1 billion in 2013. No one knows yet, with certainty, what the cost will be to Arizona’s taxpayers in this current fiscal year 2011 budget because the true costs of this federal bill have been hidden away in other pieces of federal legislation that have not yet been approved. The state deficit hole they have created could be over $400 million in fiscal year 2011. In fact, this bill does not provide enhanced federal funding for KidsCare until 2014, nor does it provide enhanced federal funding for the Proposition 204 AHCCCS population until 2014. It provides new mandates immediately, and just the hope that Congress will have money to pay for them in three years.

“I will continue to coordinate and vigorously pursue with other leaders from across the U.S. any and all legal remedies to prevent this massive new entitlement from enactment and to protect our children and our families from relentless federal intrusion into their lives.”

Staff Photo Shoot

I did a photo shoot of my employees today. We needed new head shots for our web site. Here are a few of the shots. As always I would love to get your feed back. The first one is of Heather Barr. She is one of my Account Executive's and is on the air Thursday nights on Qcountry 92.5

We did some normal and some goofy shots. This is my new morning Jock on Qcountry 92.5 Andrew J.

This is Laurie Pogson the best Traffic Manager in the world. We told her to give us her angry face (apparently she doesn't get mad very often).

Trase Barney - Account Executive.

Chris Stevens - Account Executive and Morning Jock on Majik 101.7

I Have Spent a lot of time at our transmitter site recently building our new station. These are some shots from my cell phone. Some of them actually turned out pretty good!

White Mountain Snow Storm

The Sun came out for few minutes today. So I got these quick shots. I have been diligent this week in keeping a spot clear for our expedition. I have shoveled snow every morning and every night. I was planning on keeping another spot clear for visitors but gave up on that Idea after Thursday's dump.













This is our road it was completely impassable yesterday but, thanks to our neighbor who rented a bobcat and worked all day yesterday got it clear. He actually started Thursday afternoon but got stuck. The temperature got up to 39 - 40 degrees and melted a lot of the snow that had fallen earlier this week. It made for some nasty conditions. The snow gave way to rain on Thursday night and he got into some deep mud off the side of our road and was buried. we spent most of Thursday night getting him unstuck.

Phoenix Suns Trip to Sacramento

Marisa and I got to go on another trip with the Phoenix Suns. This year they took us to Sacramento. It was a blast. My Mom was kind enough to watch the kids for us during our 3 day adventure. Our seats were behind the suns bench. The angle wasn't the best for capturing the action but, it provided a great angle to catch things you wouldn't normally see like what happens during a time out. In this photo Steve Nash stands over the shoulder of Head Coach Alvin Gentry.









This next Photo is of Al McCoy and his broadcast partner Tim Kempton who always has something corny to say to me about how we are cool because I am a fellow Red Head.







Next we have Robin Lopez during the pregame. Just thought the way he was back lit was kind of cool. The Crazy hair helps.















And my favorite shot of the night Channing Frye Gets a dunk! Ideally I would have liked to capture the Ball still in the net. But my angle prevented me from seeing his face at the beginning of the dunk. Fortunately he hung on and swung to where I could see his profile.









And of course the Shoot just wouldn't be complete with out an action shot of Nash.
