[UPDATE on November 12, 8:24 a.m.: Rob Johnson informed me this morning he officially starts November 15 on Monday from 6 to 9 a.m.. But Rusty Humphries, due to some issues with current afternoon host Dave Ramsey, cannot start until January 1 from 3 to 6 p.m. although he is now based in Atlanta. He had expected to start yesterday.]
[UPDATE on November 12, 6:19 p.m.: Dan Persigehl, operations manager, confirmed to me that Johnson is starting Monday. But Dave Ramsey's contract requires a 90-day notice before he can be booted. He was not given that amount of time. The two sides ended up compromising: six-week notice so Rusty cannot take the 3 to 6 p.m. slot until January 3, 2011. In the meantime, Rusty will do a 6 to 7 p.m. show in the interim starting Monday. Ramsey's future? To be determined, Persigehl said.]
640/WGST-AM, which has been going all syndicated talk on weekdays the past 15 months, is bringing back local talk radio to both mornings and late afternoons Monday through Friday.
Rob Johnson (right), a talk show host from Modesto, has arrived in Atlanta and is scheduled to start his live, local show in the mornings. He was last on KMPH-AM/840 in Modesto. Based on Arbitron measurements, Modesto is the 113th largest market in the United States with 426,000 people ages 12 and up in the area.
Rusty Humphries, a producer for Steve & Vikki on Star 94 back in the 1990s, became a popular syndicated talk show host with nearly 300 affiliates. He will be coming to Atlanta from Oregon to do his show from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.. I hear El Jefe, who had been part of the morning show at Project 9-6-1 until last month, may be involved with Humphries' show as a producer. He will continue to syndicate his 9 p.m to midnight show.
"Some talkers are the iron men of the business," said Michael Harrison, editor of Talkers magazine, which tracks the talk radio world. "He's one of them."
Harrison is a fan. He said Humphries has "paid a lot of dues. He lost his wife. His father died in Vietnam. He became very overweight, then lost 100 pounds and now runs marathons. He's done some very exciting overseas broadcasts from war zones. He's risked his life interviewing terrorists in their terrorist camps in the Middle East. Atlanta is going to be getting a pretty colorful guy."
He's conservative, Harrison added, but not angry. "He's a creative, fun guy," he said.
Talkers estimates that he has more than 2.75 million listeners and is in the top 20 among most popular talk show hosts in the country.
Humphries, in an interview today, said he is well aware of GST's woes over the years. "There's a definite signal problem," he said. "Some very smart, good radio broadcasters have had tough times there. I'm not coming in expecting to be the savior. But I still believe in talk radio."
He promises to work with advertisers and "bring new ways of thinking to sell the station."
Humphries, with his syndicated show, is not doing the local show for the money. "I don't need the job. The syndicated show is doing fantastic. I'm doing it because I'm having fun. I love Atlanta."
But Humphries, who left Atlanta just before the 1996 Olympics, said he won't be namedropping Stone Mountain and the Varsity on the first day. "I used to live here but it's been a long time. I'll start off slow. We'll talk more national stuff and terrorism, then catch up on local issues. I'm again a stranger in a strange land."
Read more about him on his web page.
Michael Smerconish, a syndicated host out of Philadelphia, will be out as morning host after 15 months. Afternoon syndicated host Dave Ramsey out of Nashville, will be moved to evenings.
WGST's numbers have slipped off notably over the years as its audience has moved further outside the Perimeter and its revenues declined. The last time WGST had a live and local afternoon show was Kim "The Kimmer" Peterson, who was dismissed in late 2006 and retired. Randy Cook, now on air with Spiff Carner on True Oldies 106.7, was let go last summer. The station is ranked 22nd in the latest monthly Arbitron ratings.
In its target demographic of 25 to 54 men for the four weeks ending October 16, Smerconish ranked 25th, Glenn Beck ranked 23rd, Rush Limbaugh ranked 14th and Ramsey ranked 23rd.
I'll update this as I get more information from the bosses there at Clear Channel Atlanta. (UPDATE as of 11:04 p.m. 11/10/10: Though new operations guy Dan Persighel promised me a press release earlier today, I never saw it. Will try to get something from him Thursday.)

Well, the ratings have no where to go but up. I wish them well. It might prompt WSB to start airing local talk once again.
November 10th, 2010

BTW, 1st, 2nd and 3rd.

If you want local talk then they should hire my wife. I have heard it all already so someone else can listen for awhile or longer even. But do not get me started please.
November 10th, 2010

Too little too late. I never listen to WGST anymore, but I did all the time when The King & The Kimmer were on.

What a great idea…changing to local talk when the daylight hours are the shortest of the year so no one outside the perimeter can hear it!
November 10th, 2010
12:15 pm
Now to get rid of Beck and Limbaugh. I'm tired of angry white men.
November 10th, 2010

If they really want a good local guy, they should go after Royal Marshal from WSB. He won't be cheap, but he will bring a bunch of very loyal fans. I don't care for his politics, but he is very entertaining..

Bring back The Kimmer! Bring back The Kimmer!
November 10th, 2010

What time will Dave Ramsey be on in the evenings?
November 10th, 2010
12:32 pm
Amazing – so Clear Channel finally realized what the legions of WGST listeners tried to tell them a few years ago: DON'T SCREW WITH THE FORMAT. If they REALLY want to make things right they'll offer whatever it takes to bring the Kimmer back for at least a year. Bringing back Tom Hughes would go along way, too. WGST was the BEST talk radio in town, and they made the deliberate decision to ignore local listeners and destroy the station.

Bringing rightwing nut dead zombies back to dead radio. A.M. radio?, what is that?, and who cares?
November 10th, 2010
12:42 pm
I have a great format that I thoroughly enjoy. It's called silence.
November 10th, 2010
12:45 pm
Wow bring in Talent from Modesto, that's desperate, couldn't find anyone that's heard of the state of Georgia?
What about Mark Levine? He's better than Dave Ramsey. They'd be stupid to take Levine off the air. Then again this is probably all cost cutting measures anyway.
Also if they had half a brain, they'd add an FM signal so it could be heard outside the perimeter. That or just turn off at night because no one can hear it anyway, that could save some money.
November 10th, 2010
12:49 pm
The only good thing on WGST is Coast to Coast and they took that off from 10-12 for more right wing unlistenable crap. I vote republican but enough is enough…
November 10th, 2010
12:57 pm
I will miss listening to Dave on my way home from work…he's the best WGST has syndicated!
November 10th, 2010
12:58 pm
So…. They had a winning formula (local hosts), ditched it, and want to go back. Who REALLY is in charge of WGST? Clear Channel should cut their losses and sell WGST to someone who actually CARES about quality AM talk radio.
November 10th, 2010
1:02 pm
How about more Art Bell and Phil Hendrie. Conservative talk has done enough damage to the paranoid side of our brains. Now that would be fair and balanced.
November 10th, 2010
1:03 pm
Dave Ramsey at night? I think that will hurt his ratings considerably as the suburbs lose their signal half way home anyway
November 10th, 2010
1:06 pm
What do you think the chances are of Dave Ramsey being picked up by another station for the afternoon shift?
November 10th, 2010
1:18 pm
Ever since that station canned The King and Kimmer, I haven't listened. GS-Who? previously canned a lot of other talent or lost that talent. The Newsmaker guy (Fossett?) and Pete Davis added a lot but they got rid of them.
This ignores how much the signal sucks. I'm in the perimeter and that station is unlistenable due to poor signal.
I've since gotten on board with satellite radio and am very unlikely to ever return to Atlanta radio. WGS-Who? helped prompt my turn to satellite radio.
November 10th, 2010
1:26 pm
What a TERRIFIC idea. Bring back GI Jerk (wife beater and raging alcoholic) as he is such a great example of a conservative. LOL
You nutcase neocons out there still pine for this clown. Get a life fools!
How about bring back Ralph from Ben Hill instead?
November 10th, 2010
1:28 pm
Bring back the Kimmer and convince Wayne to come back from Delta. WGST made an arrogant and stupid move turning their back on their audience. First they took away the FM Signal and I did not speak up. Then they took away Jim Gossett and I did not speak up. Then they took away the Kimmer and there was nobody left at the station that cared. Management by idiots does not win you the time slot…
November 10th, 2010
1:28 pm
You ain't got the Kimmer, you ain't got a talk show!!!!
I haven't listened to your show since you dumped him and the King, and don't plan to listen.
Now if you could persuade the Kimmer an the King back, that's a different story. Looking for ratings again……there's the 2 you need. Never heard of any of the new guys except Rusty, he's not bad…..but no Kimmer by ant stretch of the imagination.
November 10th, 2010
1:30 pm
What ever happened to Super Handyman Al Carroll? He would have been great for the early morning show. A lot of us old retired folks need tips for doing the ole "honeydews." And will they ever bring back "Sixty at Six?" Come on Wgst?
November 10th, 2010
1:35 pm
Any chance WGST can land an FM station? They rocked when they had 105.7.
November 10th, 2010
1:52 pm
Go find the Kimmer…he's in the mountains of western Massachusetts….back up the money truck to his door and bring him back. Its the only way to make WGST relevant again…
November 10th, 2010
1:54 pm
Modesto to Atlanta, that's quite a market jump! He's not going to know what to do with himself here. Even the computer in his photo looks like it's from 1991
November 10th, 2010
2:12 pm
What a joy it was to listen to the Kimmer. What a bunch of stuffshirts they must have been to get rid of him. GST was SO good when they had Kimmer, Clark, Boortz and so on. I loved Tom Hauck and Dick Williams also. Loved Hauck on the restaurant cutting board!!

Leave Kimmer right where he is. Kimmer is a windbag, just full of hot air.

Thank goodness that insufferable Dave Ramsey has been banished to evening broadcasts. He makes Rush sound humble by comparison. The Kimmer is the only one that would lure me back.
November 10th, 2010

Please bring back the Kimmer. He made the long ride home so much more bearable.

I would immediately turn to WGST full time if the King, Kimmer, Wayne, Pete Davis, and Jim Gossett back…otherwise NEVER
November 10th, 2010
2:42 pm
How about Paul Harvey rebroadcasts? 'and now you know the rest of the story – Gooood day!'
November 10th, 2010
2:43 pm
Does this move make sense to anyone? No name guy from Modesto to Atlanta?
If WGST was smart, they would hire someone whose familiar with Atlanta… someone who can stimulate the audience and bring in new listeners. Looks like nothing has changed at GST.
November 10th, 2010

All good, but not the same as the "golden years" back in the day with Forrest Sawyer, Tom Houck and Dick Williams.
November 10th, 2010

I won't be listening unless they bring back The Kimmer and his crew
November 10th, 2010
3:07 pm
Can I bash Steak here or do I need to wait for another blog?
November 10th, 2010
3:10 pm
Except for Rush, I dont listnen and I was a devoted listener until they dumped everyone. They should have crawled across glass to bring back Tom Hughes for the AM drive time. Dave Ramsey is crap. His solution to life is live in a cave, use a flashlight and bath once a month to save money. How many folks can afford to save enught CASH to buy a house or car. Michael Smirkinwhatever was terrible. Why cant they find in a area if 5,000,000 a talk show host? Mitch Evans did a good job and they dumped him. I aint coming back.
November 10th, 2010
3:14 pm
I can only take talk radio in small doses, especially when I listen at work, banker's hours. Dave Ramsey is the highlight of my afternoon, so if he goes, I guess I can listen to music or podcasts.
I live in Lawrenceville, and can't pick up WGST at all in the evenings.
November 10th, 2010
3:20 pm
Atlanta needs THE KIMMER back on WGST !!!!!
Kimmer's last day on the air at WGST was the last time I listened to that station, my favorite, all-day listening choice at the time.
I dropped WGST for XM Radio after that, but there is no substitute for what Kimmer & Wayne brought to us daily.
We love you and need you, KIM PETERSON !
November 10th, 2010
3:29 pm
WGST has a way of destroying talent and it doesn't matter who it is! Dorky 640 says it all.
Semper Fi Kimmer!!
November 10th, 2010
3:34 pm
Give WGST a home on the FM dial, and then I will come back. No FM…..no Kimmer.
November 10th, 2010
3:36 pm
They should dump those twin wind bags Beck and Limbaugh.

Sorry, I know this question has been asked so many times, but I'm on the verge of buying a new lens and wanted some opinion specific to my situation.
I current have a 40d.
I mainly take portraits.
I've got the money for a 17-55 IS 2.4, 24-70 2.4L or 24-105 4 L.
I'm currently using the 17-85 kit lens (not much) but more often than not a 50mm 1.4 prime - which is brilliant although restrictive.
And i don't know what to get. I've read so many opinions, forums, reviews etc. The 17-55 appears to be a great lens, better performer actually than the L lenses, but not a good build quality. One day I'd like to think i'd be able to afford a FF camera, so that's also there in the back of my mind. I desperately need wider angle than the 50mm offers, but worried than the limited focal length of the 17-55 will not be enough, and effective make my 50mm lens a bit redundant. I can always use a flash i guess for low light shots with f4 or resort to prime.
Has anybody got a 24-105 L on cropped sensor, and do you ever wish you had either of the other two lenses?
any other thoughts? i know it's been discussed to death, but it's a lot of cash and want to make right choice.

Quote: Has anybody got a 24-105 L on cropped sensor, and do you ever wish you had either of the other two lenses?
I find the 24-105mm an excellent lens on a cropped sensor or full frame camera. I also owned the 24-70mm f2.8.
Regarding image quality there was virtually nothing between them, with both lenses performing superbly.
I ended up selling the 24-70mm and keeping the 24-105mm because the extended focal range was of more use to me than the wider aperture of the 24-70mm. I've never regretted the decision.
You won't be disappointed with either of the above lenses.
Quote: Why do you not use the 17-85 very much?
Get much better results with 50mm, notice such a difference in IQ.
Quote: I guess Sam wanted to upgrade to better lens.
Exactly that. Whatever I get would replace the kit lens, seeing the difference between the lenses really puts me off even getting the kit lens out.
Thanks for all your comments.
Quote: I ended up selling the 24-70mm and keeping the 24-105mm because the extended focal range was of more use to me than the wider aperture of the 24-70mm
Justin made a good point and as it is going to replace the kit lens i'd want to cover to focal length so think that's the decider.
My wife, by mistake, bought me the 17-40 L, but took it back as at the time my decision was the 24-105 L but since reading about the 17-55 and 24-70 I've been torn.
I think taking it all into account, the best value lens for me is the 24-105, I just needed someone else to say it
I can keep using the prime for low light/indoor/portraits and make use of the extra focal length with the 24-105. I lose the wide angle, but prob a good trade off for what i like to do.
thanks all - i hope this helps someone else in same dilemma.
24-70 f2.8 either sigma or canon they are both very good lenses and actually by reviews done the sigma comes up slightly better than the canon from the reviews ive seen not sure how true this is but there you go.
But if it's portraits then you won't go wrong with the 24-70mm f2.8.
If you really want to spend some hard earned doe then the canon 70-200mm f2.8 l is usm lens is the mother of all lenses and awsome for portraits.
I have them both plus the 50mm prime f1.4 and i find i tend to leave the 24-70mm on my 7d the most as i like using this lens for both portrait and landscape, it's a really good all rounder.
and to note that f4 to f2.8 is quite a difference when working in darker places like churchs so hence why the 24-70mm f2.8 wins in my book.
I have the 24-105 on a 7D and with the crop sensor, I like the longer focal length that gives. In every day use and studio use, its spot on, as I never get anywhere near the f4 maximum. But I do think that I could use the wider f2.8 on a 70-200 or a 24-70 sometimes as the low light is a touch restrictive inside, even at higher ISO's. So, I guess it very much depends on what you are shooting mainly......the image quality on all of them is pretty damn good to be fair, so its whatever you feel is going to be the most useful. I am happy with it, defintely and if I can eventually afford the 70-200, I am keeping the 24-105 as a studio lens as its more than good enough for that.
Facing exactly the same problem, I went with the 17-55. Never had a problem with build quality - it's fine. IQ is outstanding and I get the twin benefits of f2.8 and very good IS - I have handheld in St Peters, Vatican at 1/4s and had some really sharp results with that lens - its that good.
The only 'downside' is the EF-S designation - personally I have no plans to go FF, but the resale value is very strong anyway. I already had a 70-200 so the zoom range benefits of the 24-105 didn't stack up for me against losing the wide end. YMMV!
Quote: Personally, 17-55 is a bit of a strange range, neither here nor there.
17-55 x 1.6 (crop factor) = 27-88 aimed roughly at the 24-70 FOV on a FF. That's my guess. Given that the standard entry level kit zoom range on most manufacturers is 18-55, I'm guessing that it is for a reason.
Personally I find the 17mm end wide enough not to bother with a WA, and if I want longer than 55mm I go to a 70-200 or 120-400. My personal rule of thumb is that a zoom of greater than 3x is likely (not guaranteed of course) to start to be of lower IQ than a zoom of 3x or less. Individual cases may vary.
I've got the 24-105 on a 40D, brilliant combination and stunning pictures, and with the 24mm don't get the distortion at the wide end

Welcome to TWEAKERS! We had a chance to do little interview with Singapore based duo Black Zenith who've visited Bangkok for the 2nd time for live performance and also lecture at university, talked about their approach of using modular synthesizers and showing us their patches for live improvisation.
Black Zenith is Darren Moore & Brian O'Reilly. The duo performs using analog modular synthesizers & moving images. They produce dense sonic textures that generate live visuals through the transformation of audio signals into images. Black Zenith draws as much influence from noise music & the electroacoustic music tradition as they do from the foundations of abstract video art.
Special thanks to Harmonica
Welcome to TWEAKERS! Here is our first product demonstration video.
In this video, we introduce how to work with eurorack modular synthesizer, particularly DPO from Make Noise, combine with Elektron Octatrack.
Octatrack's MIDI track is sequencing modular then modular's final output is connected to Octatrack's audio input for realtime sampling.
Sampled sounds are looped and processed to create few different layers then mixed with modular's direct sound.

Welcome to TWEAKERS! In this episode, we visit private studio of Thailand based psychedelic dub reggae band The Sticky Rice to introduce their great analog gear collection and how they used them for live and recordings.
The Sticky Rice is a Thailand based 4-piece dub band led by analog synthesizer wizard Puttitorn Taypabood. He started his career as a turntablist for Thai pioneer reggae group T-Bone then joined another legendary reggae group called Kai-Jo Brother as a support guitarist. After spent more than 10 years in a local reggae scene, he finally formed his own group The Sticky Rice with his brother and friends, actively playing show at several events and parties.
They are currently making their debut album and live DVD planned to be released within this year from Thai DIY independent label Panda Records.
Selected Ambient Works 85 - 92 / Aphex Twin
Very end of 80's, Rave culture was start getting huge popularity in UK and it become massive youth movement of their generation. illegal rave party was held all over the country and DJ introduced House music imported from USA. Soon after House was adopted into various genre of music, band like Primal Scream, Happy Mondays produced groovy rock tunes and even indie kids start dancing.
in 1992, while this movement was still at its peak, "Selected Ambient Works 85 - 92" was released.
Songs were produced in a bedroom studio located UK's country town Cornwall by Richard D. James aka Aphex Twin, later he earned cult popularity by his one and only music style and bizarre behavior, but what we can hear from this album is his young pure passion and uncontrollable urge of making music (he has mentioned that he used to make at least 3 songs everyday).
Word "Ambient" was still new to young music listeners but this album has strong enough impact to grab listeners attention especially who can't fit himself into crazy rave scene or club culture. Beat was strongly influenced by Detroit techno but sounds on top were rather soft and deep with lots of reverb, each songs has beautiful melodies instead of using short loops, those essence were clearly different from popular dance tunes at that time and has some kind of similarities with band like My Bloody Valentine.
Soon later Warp released compilation album, "Artificial Intelligence" and introduce home listening electronic music to wider audience and Aphex Twin kept changing his music style on every album, but this album was a blue print of new electronic music of our era and still stays top of it.
Quality of recording is not fantastic compare to electronic music nowadays. Computer was not existed in most bedroom studio at that time so what you can hear is sound of hardware synthesizers and tape noise, it sounds lot more human and warm compare to tunes produced in a computer.
This is one album I strongly recommend to young music listeners.
Welcome to TWEAKERS! In our first episode, we would like to introduce you another side of Jay Montonn who has deep knowledges in music production and electronic music gears. Aside from being a famous actor, he's also a remarkable artist in Thailand's electronic music scene.
Montonn (Jay) Jira : is best known for his multi-genre crossing productions and forward thinking performances. Having studied music composition and production abroad, he has also expanded his knowledge into sound design for music and film, and has returned to Thailand as "The Producer" to watch out for.

Justin Bieber to Reject Plea Offer, Still Willing to Dealby Hilton Hater at . Comments
Thanks, but no thanks.
That is reportedly Justin Bieber's reaction to a plea deal on the table from prosecutors in his DUI case.
As previously reported, Bieber has the chance to avoid jail if he agrees to alcohol education classes, random drug testing and 40 hours of community service.
However, insiders now tell TMZ that the singer will NOT accept the terms of this plea bargain for many reasons:
- He does not want probation associated with any deal because then he'd be in serious trouble if he broke the law again.
- He has a real problem with weed and sizzurp and will not submit to random drug testing.
- Attorneys for the artist believe there are big holes in the case against their client, namely that he only blew a .014 on his breathalyzer and that his in-car GPS did not record him as speeding near the time of his arrest.
Bieber also thinks any kind of alcohol education will turn him into a national joke.
The source says Justin is open to a plea arrangement in order to avoid trial... but not this one.
Who will the Judge believe a cop with a dirty record or someone who has a clean record in the USA. I think the Judge know who going to win already and it's not the prosecution. Officers are to remain still during the field sobriety test a officer wasn't still. People of Florida are going to be paying Justin back with the tax money. If the prosecution used that toxic report they must prove sciencetificly that he was high or impaired at the time it's impossible to prove it by observations. That drug expecter doesn't help their case he trained to look at people to see if they look high and some of comments from TMZ may help him out. To get the DUI charges dissmiss. The hater may just help him out. Judge is most likely reading the case and looking to see
Drugs and a bad attitude will be the downfall of this twerp. The people of Atlanta, Georgia (where he's checking out new houses) already have a petition growing by the day to keep his sorry, drug-addicted butt out of their neighbourhood.
Can the plea bargains and give this nitwit what he deserves!
You forgeting something. If the prosecution used the Toxic report. They must scinetificly prove that those drug made him high. A drug expert won't help their case. He only to Look for clues not scincetificly prove he was high. These is going to be the down fall of this prosecutor job. This is the same prosecutor that did the George Zinmmermen trial. I think she doing it to satfried her ego. If Christ was smart He would used this case against Governor Rick Scott and maybe get the younger voter People for get that Justin is 20 years old and it would be easy to sway that Younger people vote his way by saying I wouldn't let this happen under my watch. I would tell my Attorney General to get invole in and make the drop the charges. He would get a lot of younger perople vote if he would do that who are of voting age.
The police know they have a weak case-they lied and the lead guy in the arrest has a bad record of abuse per TMZ. As for Zirzzurp use, this is based on rumors and innuendo. No trace of it was found in his blood or urine tests. He may have tried out a couple of times at the instigation of Lil Wayne or Twist, but he is not a user of it according to Gossipcop:http://www.gossipcop.com/justi...
He already is a national joke! I'm canadian and I don't want him back!
WHAT a flaming A hole. What is wrong you airheads that made this pinhead rich? learn to appreciate real talent and music! Thanks to idiots that support untalented trash that can't sing like Beiber the rest of us have to tolerate this jerk stain polluting our world with his ignorance and recklessness.
You guys only know the image of him sites like this. which trash him; have presented; people who really know him have a completely different perception of him. The media has done as much of a smear job on him as they did to Sarah Palin. His mistakes are repeated endlessly in scandal loving sites with exaggeration, lies, half truths which are soaked in by the unchristian, hateful mutants in the U.S. and England. The smearing of this kid is unlike anything I have seen toward a celebrity since as long as I can remember mainly by white guys.
Oh Ivan...you really are a suck up and a fool.
Sarah Palin is an arse. Biedermeier is an arse.
And so are you my friend.
That's hot!
Throw this entitled brat in jail!
.............he's right.
In my family, we call the police on our own kid's for behaving this way. Our kid's have grown up to be fine adults. Money doesn't make you rich... peace of mind makes you rich. Stupid celebs
Florida will get him. Most people end up in jail for less then what they have on him. He isnt a bad boy and will find it out the hard way. Maybe alcohol and drug testing is what he needs. He is going the way of Ms.Spears and no one is doing anything to stop it. We just sit back and watch for the melt down. Soon we will hear about him killing someone. I am not a fan at all of him but He needs some good advice about the corrupt state of Florida. He isnt going to get off with nothing. How aabout not worrying about public image and do what you have to do. Be a man and accept the consequences of your actions. Florida isnt going to drop it. Welcome to the sunshine state.

The Riverside Theater Guild's cast of performers aged 8 to adult playfully recreates the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale in its production of Princess and The Pea.

Off Broadway Pub's owner, Rick Dahms, always knew his hot wings were something special. What he didn't realize, was that everyone else knew it as well. This became evident when his jumbo hot wings won 670 The Score's listener's best wing award in 2010, taking the top slot largely due to the heaping portions he serves and the amount of meat on the bone. His kitchen doesn't skimp on the restaurant's other entrees either, which range from hearty hamburgers and half racks of ribs to build-your-own pizzas.

La Grange owners and dedicated community members Paul and Meg Lefaivre were ecstatic to bring Bottle & Bottega to their neighborhood. The Lefaivres, along with a slate of local artists, encourage participants of any artistic level to unleash their creativity onto the canvas, creating their own versions of famous paintings that they can hang in their living rooms or over their bathroom mirrors in an attempt to be famous themselves.

Module 7 The Photography Institute
Two Part Module – Faux Portfolio & Image Replication.
My Image for Replication was taken By The Fashion Photographer Nico of the model Heather Marks .
The image is studio based & shows the model in a short dress jumping effortlessly showing Movement ,i really liked the fact the image is simple in context yet holds the attention of the viewer ,so it has reached its goal very effectivley ,.
The original image is in B&W and has had post production on it ,i love the feeling this image gives to me,its got a sixties feel to it which i find appealing.
My Image is in the style of the Nico image i did not want to copy exactly but more go with the feeling the image exudes upon us.
I decided i would like to add a little more depth to my image by adding cross shadows which i personally think has improved the depth of the image .
My Image is of the Model Juste Juozaipayte ,we styled in the sixties era also,but i chose color as oposed to B&W as it suits my dress more ,the color of the pink just keeps your eyes moving around the image adding depth with the shadows ,the fact that she is suspended at a point where the shadows converge make this a very dynamic image .
So both images match in styling & compoistion ,but differ in Lighting and final rendering,mine being color the original in B&W.
My goal was to produce an image that gave me the same feeling as Nicos's Image did ,which i have achieved .
I have lear'nt how to light & realsied that creating imagery like this is not easy ,its very hard to capture an image like this & make it look effortless, Model Direction & Focus is of utmost importance Luckily Juste fully grasped the Idea.
I am aware that alot of people will not like the cross shadows this is a personal choice which i made whilst shooting as i felt it added to the final image ,i used a beauty dish with a 25 degree grid to give natural vignetting from the right front & two low level strip boxes to give the cross shadows.
I personally love this image & feel i have attained what is required from the Assignment & more ,i have realised how difficult imagery can be yet seem so effortless.
This whole assignment has for me been a revelation ,not only has it given me the passion i had but it has channeled me in a direction i now know i was heading but choosing to avoid for fear of rejection .
So in summary i am very pleased with my final image it achieves what i set out to achieve & more ,I also feel that the whole assignement has been for me the most important of all because it has givem me the starting point to take a new journey into Fashion Photography
Description is to google images & save them with the premise to create your own Faux Portfolio in the Genre you have selected ,& Describe why you chose the images & Which order within the Folio .
Image 1:- Start of the portfolio a strong image with the clear message of Fashion .This image to me is a perfect image for the start of my fashion Portfolio as it represents all i see in a fashion Photograph ,it holds the attention of the viewer also it is oriented to send the viewer to look further into the book ,left hand page Image.
Image 2:- Continuing the flow of the Portfolio i chose this as it fits with the images i wish to shoot ,it also serves as a message to the viewer that i shoot on location which will re-inforce the viewers confidence in my images ,again in color following the theme i have set.
Image 3:- Is a perfect match for image 2 the dresses are of similar style Red a primary color to go with image 2 ,But showing the Studio enviroment ,Re-inforcing i shoot in a studio as well as Location ,Again showing the type of Fashion Movement i like to Portray ,keeps the theme flowing.
Image 4:-A Powerfull image to show a change in the Portfolio but keeping the theme of color & strong imagery flowing ,this time representing Location work with a view to shooting beach wear ,showing i have Knowledge of Not only Studio but Location & different Genres within my Fashion Pallette,which i think is important to put across ,its my showcase i need the viewer to see what i am capable of .
Image 5:- Ties the theme in Bringing Fashion outside on Location bright colors to re-inforce what has been seen but also keeping within the Portfolio theme i have set myself.
This image also will explain to the viewer that we have concepts as well as being able to carry out Location work in a manner which will bring attention to the image ,it is 4 secends viable which makes it commercially viable ,by Now i hope to have won my client over .
Image 6:- The Last image needs to be as strong as the first image in the Portfolio ,this gives an even Dynamic to the Portfolio,
The image is a beauty shot from fashion so keeping the theme flowing right to the end Holding the viewers attention an image to re-inforce all they have seen also leaving them with an image they will remember but reminding them of the whole Portfolio,(Hopefully),,
I would be very pleased if this was my Portfolio as to me it gives a clear representation of a Fashion Photographer ,giving the type of Fashion I would like to shoot ,also showcasing the fact i am capable of not only Studio ,Location but also the variants i like to shoot ,the types of Fashion i want to shoot .(Shoot the images you want to shoot)and try to improve what you have shot before ,climb the ladder one rung at a time .
The Overall Assignment has proved worth while easy to get through but for me a point of positive recognition as to a positive direction in which to take my Ideas & the passion i have for photography.

What, exactly, is the reasoning behind killing down-ranking? The practice never seemed particularly game-breaking for me, it just seems to be a convenient way to add a little more depth to your spell selection. Can anyone explain why Blizzard would want to do this?
The main reason is that mentioned in the article of using Rank 1 AoE effects to bust stealthers. Rank 1 Arcane Explosion breaking stealth on a level 70 practically for free is often cited by the developers as a side effect they never intended.
I'm sure all the rogues out there are grinning gleefully in anticipation as the only thing keeping them from getting off their opener on mages is killed.
Jack Spicer said...
I'm not sure what the justification for this new change to down ranking is, but pre-tbc the reason why they nerfed down ranking was because with all the +heal on gear, you could feasibly cast the lowest rank of your heal spells, still heal for a decent amount, and never run out of mana.

Bringing the big hitters
JAXconf Preview - The Keynotes
You'll have to excuse the eagerness of the following post, but with our sister conference, JAXconf mere days away, it's time to give it the love and attention it rightly deserves.
From July 9-12, some of the Java ecosystem's brightest luminaries will descend upon San Francisco to deliver high-calibre technical talks about the topics that really matter and the challenges we face in the future. No stone will be left unturned: core Java, JVM languages like Scala and Clojure, Android, the world of Big Data & NoSQL, Continuous Delivery, front-end technologies will all be featured in one way or the other.
But it's time to look at the big-hitters sandwiched in between all the juicy content who be providing the keynote addresses at the event, hopefully bringing some thought-provoking sentiments about the industry's current state.
First up on the Monday steps IBM Client Strategy Architect Tracy Hutcheson with a thought that we've all probably had at one time, Why Mobile? Explain to me why I care? Maybe you don't. Tracy will attempt to make sense of the current mobile craze sweeping the development world and asks if it really is a game changer.
Ahead of JAX Community Night, JavaScript guru, Douglas Crockford with JavaScript: Your New Overlord. JavaScript has courted a career path eeriely similar to a global popstar: from misunderstanding to wild success, then deep found respect - something has gone right for Java's uglier and slightly less intelligent sibling. But where can JavaScript go from here - can it go further? Douglas Crockford will, as ever, have the answers.
The following day sees Clojure creator Rich Hickey step up to the plate with The Value of Values that will analyse value-oriented programming vs place-oriented programming. This whistle stop tour will examine the benefits and costs of each. Along the way, he promises to also tackle "the beauty of garbage and the relationship between space and time." It's par for the course.
Rounding off the keynote bill is Continuous Delivery pioneer Jez Humble to guide us through the agile methodology taking the enterprise world by storm, its principles and practices, how it can dovetail the worlds of Devops, cloud computing and continuous deployment and all importantly - how it can coexist in the enterprise.
Phew, that's merely scratching the surface. Check out the site for more details about the conference and how you can be a part of it all.

Spiral Christmas Tree I love the diagonal design. The colors are perfect for Christmas! February 1, 2014
Satisfied I'm happy with my purchase of the 7' and 4' trees. They were very easy to assemble out of the box. They look nice. January 15, 2014
Spiral Tube Trees These trees, 4 ft. and 7 ft., are poorly made and impossible to assemble. I am returning these. January 3, 2014
Love the look of this tree This tree is very easy to set up. I especially liked that the first one arrived with 2 rows not working and they sent me a new one before they received the return. Thank you for the speedy customer service. December 28, 2013

Lakitu (character)
From the Super Mario Wiki
(Redirected from Lakitu (Mario Kart 7))
Lakitu is a character who makes his first appearance in Mario Kart 7, like Toadette in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Baby Daisy in Mario Kart Wii, and Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold Peach in Mario Kart 8. Unlike the generic green-shelled Lakitu enemies, Lakitu has a red shell, similar to Fishin' Lakitus from Super Mario World and Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Dark Lakitus from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door.
Mario Kart 7[edit]
Lakitu is a playable character in the Mario Kart game, Mario Kart 7. He is a featherweight character, with acceleration and off-road being his best stats. Lakitu is one of the unlockable characters, and the player needs to win the 150cc Lightning Cup to unlock him. When racing, Lakitu doesn't have his cloud with him, but the Cloud 9 kart resembles one, and is therefore Lakitu's signature kart. Lakitu's racing symbol is also the Lakitu's Cloud.
His American bio implies he is the Lakitu race referee, which is incorrect, as he has a red shell, and the two can be seen simultaneously when the latter picks him up. However, this implication is also enforced by the producer Hideki Konno, who refers to Lakitu as "that guy in the start of the race with the signal that counts down".[1]
Mario Kart 8[edit]
The red-shelled Lakitu returns as an unlockable playable character in Mario Kart 8. Unlike in Mario Kart 7, however, Lakitu is a heavier lightweight (having the same weight as Toad, Koopa Troopa, Shy Guy, Toadette, Larry, and Wendy), being a little bit more focused on speed and weight than with acceleration, handling, and grip. Lakitu is the Normal Staff Ghost for SNES Donut Plains 3.
The main color used in his vehicles is sky blue, with yellow used as a secondary color. This is true for his Standard Kart and Standard Bike, while his Super Glider has the colors switched: yellow glider with a sky blue stripe. However, his Standard ATV's secondary color is orange.

Two teens accused of going on a burning spree in Ralls last week, made their first court appearance Tuesday. 19-year-old Wesley Sellers and 18-year-old David Hernandez were arraigned Tuesday. Both are charged with felony criminal mischief. Sellers, who is a volunteer fire fighter, is also charged with arson. An anonymous tip helped authorities connect both teens to a fire at the Owens Gin and Sellers to a fire at an abandoned house.
Authorities believe a third suspect may be to blame for a fire at Trinity Company on Friday. It burned more than 500 bales of cotton. A $5,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can lead police to an arrest and indictment.
If you have any information, you can call Ralls police at (806) 253-2558. You can remain anonymous.

Microwave Applications of Metamaterial StructuresOctober 5, 2008
Professor Tatsuo Itoh, Department of Electrical Engineering, University of California, Los Angeles
Metamaterials are artificial or man-made structures that have properties not found in naturally existing materials. The most unusual metamaterials are the Left-Handed ones, also called Double Negative or Negative Refractive Index materials, which are characterized by simultaneously negative permittivity and permeability. Many interesting EM propagation phenomena result from the negativeness of the constitutive parameters. For instance, the phase and the group velocities are anti-parallel in a Left-Handed substance. Fundamental theoretical research as well as research on possible revolutionary applications for microwave and RF circuits is underway at various organizations. Although the technology is still in its infancy, novel practical developments have already been proposed. The talk will contain a brief historical account, fundamental concepts, adaptation to microwave environment and emerging applications for antennas, passive components and active circuits with unique features at microwave frequencies.
Tatsuo Itoh received the Ph.D. Degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana in 1969. From September 1966 to April 1976, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Illinois. From April 1976 to August 1977, he was a Senior Research Engineer in the Radio Physics Laboratory, SRI International, Menlo Park, CA. From August 1977 to June 1978, he was an Associate Professor at the University of Kentucky, Lexington. In July 1978, he joined the faculty at The University of Texas at Austin, where he became a Professor of Electrical Engineering in 1981 and Director of the Electrical Engineering Research Laboratory in 1984. During the summer of 1979, he was a guest researcher at AEG-Telefunken, Ulm, West Germany. In September 1983, he was selected to hold the Hayden Head Centennial Professorship of Engineering at The University of Texas. In September 1984, he was appointed Associate Chairman for Research and Planning of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at The University of Texas. In January 1991, he joined the University of California, Los Angeles as Professor of Electrical Engineering and holder of the TRW Endowed Chair in Microwave and Millimeter Wave Electronics (currently Northrop Grumman Endowed Chair). He was an Honorary Visiting Professor at Nanjing Institute of Technology, China and at Japan Defense Academy. In April 1994, he was appointed as Adjunct Research Officer for Communications Research Laboratory, Ministry of Post and Telecommunication, Japan. He currently holds Visiting Professorship at University of Leeds, United Kingdom. He received a number of awards including Shida Award from Japanese Ministry of Post and Telecommunications in 1998, Japan Microwave Prize in 1998, IEEE Third Millennium Medal in 2000, and IEEE MTT Distinguished Educator Award in 2000. He was elected to a member of National Academy of Engineering in 2003. Dr. Itoh is a Fellow of the IEEE, a member of the Institute of Electronics and Communication Engineers of Japan, and Commissions B and D of USNC/URSI. He served as the Editor of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques for 1983-1985. He serves on the Administrative Committee of IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. He was Vice President of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society in 1989 and President in 1990. He was the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Microwave and Guided Wave Letters from 1991 through 1994. He was elected as an Honorary Life Member of MTT Society in 1994. He was the Chairman of USNC/URSI Commission D from 1988 to 1990, and Chairman of Commission D of the International URSI for 1993-1996. He was Chair of Long Range Planning Committee of URSI. He serves on advisory boards and committees of a number of organizations. He served as Distinguished Microwave Lecturer on Microwave Applications of Metamaterial Structures of IEEE MTT-S for 2004 - . He has 370 journal publications, 700 refereed conference presentations and has written 40 books/book chapters in the area of microwaves, millimeter-waves, antennas and numerical electromagnetics.

Worn once, holes already I love this top but clearly poorly made. There are 2 holes in the armpit area already after wearing just once. Pretty disappointed, just glad I didn't spend more than I did for this top. October 3, 2013

Alison's Storage Solution Kitchen in Burlington
Small Cool Kitchens 2010 - Rent Division
Who cooks here? Alison
Location: Burlington, VT
Owned or rented? Rented
Kitchen size: 80 square feet
What challenge have you overcome in your kitchen? There is NO cabinet space in the kitchen. I searched the internets to find the chrome shelving in the right dimensions. I didn't want to spend a lot on, in the end I spent around $90. It added just the right amount of storage and display to make the kitchen complete.
Thumbs Up Voting is only activated for 48 Hours — so don't delay!
What's the story of your kitchen?
I have learned that big meals are difficult with a small kitchen. But not impossible, Christmas dinner for 9, Thanksgiving for 8...it can be done, with one person in the kitchen at a time! Plus the cool kitty pass through is awesome.
What is your favorite meal to cook here?
Vegetarian Lasagna.
6 Comments
Where did you end up finding the unit? Thank you!
@ma263: this is the one I purchased (https://www.sevilleclassics.com/products.php?pid=243)
. I wrote that I spent about $90 but it was only $40 plus shipping (came to @ $60) the other $30 I spent came from the dish drainer that fits in the sink...
Thank you! :) I've been searching like mad for one of these.
hehe I love the kitty pass through! :)
I have two metal/wire racks very similar to that to help with our storage issues. Our eat-in kitchen is tiny (literally no counter space, I do all my prep on the kitchen table) so I got a very tall, very skinny wire rack from Lowe's and a giant, long, five shelf one (also from Lowe's) for our storage "closet," a.k.a. a hallway/room between the bathroom and living room with just enough space to the left of the doorways to fit the shelf.
I don't know how I would survive without these shelving units. The only problem? We're looking for a new place and the shelves have to fit in the new place! Lol.
Great way to make a rental kitchen workable. I find that most apt kitchens are made for people who make coffee and microwave frozen meals, and not much else.
I have lots of cabinets, but most of them are above my head, so I'm looking for a good shelving unit that will fit just outside the kitchen entrance. I'm checking out your link as soon as I get off this computer

Scottsdale, AZ (Sports Network) - Yu Darvish struck out 11 batters in six innings Friday night and the Texas Rangers topped the Colorado Rockies, 5-3, in spring training.
Darvish, the coveted Japanese star who signed a six-year deal with the Rangers in January, gave up three runs on six hits and a walk.
Josh Hamilton and Yorvit Torrealba had two RBI apiece in the win.
Jason Giambi belted a two-run homer off Darvish, one of his three hits, but Rockies starter Jhoulys Chacin gave up five runs on nine hits in 6 1/3 innings.

People don't realise there's a cost incurred that allows for all the years that artist worked on their skills to improve, that compensated for the times they had to work two or more shitty jobs just to cover the most basic bills, that acknowledges that what they do represents a unique point of view and displays their own personal style. Art is more than the sum of its materials, and so is an artist. When you try to talk an artist down in price, you're being insulting.

Why your current monitoring system is broken - introducing Smart Alarms
The great thing about working on Graphdat is that we get to build tools that we want to use ourselves, everyday. Being developers for many years we've been exposed to plenty of alarming / alerting tools. In fact, alarming is usually the second thing we set up after our servers are created. We can't watch our server monitors constantly so getting told when things are suspect is vital.
The usual suspects of alarming haven't really changed over the years. At the application layer the alarms will typically test for slow or missing responses from a web request. At the system level, there are basic resource threshold checks. One of the biggest issues that surrounds alarming techniques is the ability to produce valid alarms. The basic problem is that, as we all know, systems fluctuate throughout the day, mostly for known reasons which might cause alarms which are superfluous. You then must dig through the notifications that are generated in order to find the real problems. There are various ideas around 'flapping detection', application scoring, and other somewhat arcane techniques so we thought "why not use our existing analytic engine behind Graphdat to make a better alarming solution?" Here's our approach.
Firstly, you can add alarms quickly and easily from the Alarms tab in the settings dialog.
On the Alarms tab we can see our existing alarms and click to add a new one:
Next we see the alarm settings:
We tried to make alarms as easy as possible to set up.
First you give the alarm a name. This is a simple, short, title that you can create so you can quickly get an idea of what the issue is when you see the alarm.
Next is the metric. This is can be one of:
- Memory
- Disk bytes read or write
- Network bytes read or write
- Application request count
- Application response time
These settings are typical with what you've seen elsewhere but now we get to a feature that is a little different; threshold.
What sets apart Graphdat alarms is that we can not only alarm basic aggregates like min, max, count but we can also alarm for an average. The aggregates work in conjunction with the time period:
The time period can range from 1 second up to 12 hours. For example, if I set a CPU threshold of, say, avg > 80% and a period of 1 minute then this translates to:
"Tell me when my CPU average is above 80% for at least 1 minute"
In practice, this technique for detecting actually bad states has been most effective for us at Graphdat.
After setting the threshold and period you can set recipients and add a note. The note will be passed along at the time the alarm notification is sent.
Now you can choose which servers you wish to alarm. By default you can simply alarm for all servers. This setting works in conjunction with the 'notify for every change' feature.
To illustrate how these settings work let's take a simple of example of monitoring 3 servers, A, B, and C at a 1 minute period. Consider the following scenario:
1:00pm - Alarm A triggered
1:01pm - Alarms B and C triggered
1:02pm - Alarms A and B resolved
1:03pm - Alarm C resolved
By default, without the 'notify for every change' option you would receive just two notifications:
- ALARM at 1:00pm because at least on of your server alarms triggered
- RESOLVED at 1:03pm when all of your server alarms were no longer triggered
However, if you enable 'notify for every change' you would have gotten four notifications as follows:
- ALARM at 1:00pm because at least on of your server alarms triggered
- ALARM UPDATE at 1:01pm stating that B and C are now triggered, A continues
- ALARM UPDATE at 1:02pm stating that A and B are resolved, C continues
- RESOLVED at 1:03pm when all of your server alarms were no longer triggered
Speaking of notifications, here's what a typical notification mail looks like:
Notice that you are told exactly which alarms are triggered (or resolved as the case may be), why they are triggered, and a link to the dashboard at the point in time of the trigger.
When you go to your dash you will now some differences. The first thing you'll notice is that the graph representing the metric that has triggered the alarm now has a flashing red border:
The next thing you'll notice is a red bell icon in the graph title bar. We can click this to see what has triggered:
You can now click on the triggered alarm to go directly to the point in time of the trigger.
That is the short and sweet approach to Graphdat alarms. We hope these alarms are as useful and pertinent to your business as it has been to ours.
