Oct 2012 - $18.00
Next to a highway several blocks north of Scott City but fairly quiet, especially after about 10:00; rural RV parking under nice shade. Very nice and helpful lady at check-in. No showers or restrooms available so be self-contained, no playground equipment for kids, but that was OK since I don't have any. Not much gravel and no cement pads but it wasn't dirty or muddy. - Dylandog
Jul 2011 - $22.00
We stayed here one night because we got detoured in CO. and it set us back a few hours and we almost missed the park on the north side of town. Parking tight and a bit rugged among the trees. No real service for anything. It was very hot and we were glad we had 50 amps as the AC ran all night long. So did we get our $22 worth or not? I do not know, but we were cool. - wallynm
Apr 2006 - $15.00
If you want seclusion, privacy, and quiet, this is the place for you. If you want amenities like a pool, bath house and activities, you don't want to be here. The park is small and close but not a bad park. Our site was nice with the patio side of the coach facing east under a canopy of pine trees. There is shade on most of the sites. In a month we have heard only 2 airplanes overhead. The owners are very nice, also very shy. There are some restaurants in town, 1 within a 2 minute walk. All in all, we would return again if we were in the area. The quiet and solitude can often be a wonderful thing. - TaylorShopping

Beautiful State Park in Kansas. Very quiet. Nice variety of campsites. We stayed in the Cirlce loop with electric and water. Had a lake view. Only a few other campers but looked like it was busy on weekends. - Hartleyfam
Apr 2015 - $30.00
The Park HQ closes at 4PM. The Camp Host is gone but the site occupied, then the park staff was gone two days (Mon&Tue) at a meeting. There was no one to assist campers. Use the Fee Box and pick your spot. Sites are gravel with a little grass between and garbage from past campers left laying in the site. This is a pleasant campground, open 4-1 to 9-1 yearly. Scott City is 14 miles south for fuel and amenities. With staff here to answer questions and assist with site selection this might be a lot better than it was for our stay. Five 50AMP sites at $25 per night, then add the "processing fee" of $3, plus there is a user fee for your toad or tow vehicle of $5 per day. If you plan to be here more than 5 days, buy the annual pass. There are trails through-out and fishing piers and/or boat launch for bass fishing. We would stay here again if in West Kansas in the future. - SilverBear
Jun 2014 - $21.00
We really enjoyed this campground. Since it is a state park, we had to pay the vehicle entrance fee. I chose to purchase the annual vehicle pass for $25.00. The fees to stay two nights was a $42.00 Use Fee and a $3.00 Transaction Fee. The scenery was very nice, especially for Kansas. Lake with fishing, swimming, and rental canoes and paddleboats. Lots of trees and hills for hiking. Viewed loads of geese and saw two deer. Negotiating the park with my 35' fifth wheel was easy. Sites were gravel/grass and almost level. Bathhouse looked fairly new from outside, but I didn't go inside. We want to return to this camp for a future visit. - rvrev2

Let's have a leisurely informal networking breakfast Sunday morning. A time to meet those you haven't met yet, reconnect with those you have, & of course have a great meal too!
Informal tweetup over breakfast to meet tweeps IRL you haven't met yet; to reconnect with ones you already have; & to have some great food as well.

In early December 2012, Dustin Whitener was found deceased in Antlers. Whitener was 26 years of age at his time of death.
After over a month of phone calls to the OSBI Headquarters in Oklahoma City, Jessica Brown, Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation's PIO Director made a statement on Monday, "The Antlers Police Department requested that we open this case. Although no information has been released to the public, this case is still very much still open and extremely active. A long list of interviews, evidence and statements have been collected."
Over the weekend a group of drama students from L.D. Bell High School in Hurst, TX., traveled the 170 miles to Antlers to participate in a bonding weekend to prepare for the University Interscholastic League One Act Play Competition.
Along with their Theatre Director, Candace Hooper, they were set for a weekend of fun and adventure as they were to spend the night at the Chahta Isuba Ranch, just east of Antlers. They would be able to take part in camping, volleyball, camp fire and pretty much anything else they could think of to do in the mountains.
Antlers Public Library has partnered with the I.R.S. in an attempt to better serve the people. The program is known as Facilitated Self Assistance or FSA. It is a concept designed to provide increased taxpayer access to free tax preparation services and will hopefully empower taxpayers who qualify to do their own returns making them self-sufficient in tax preparation.
Because this service is offered, and the I.R.S. is encouraging E-filing, the library will not have the paper forms available.
Legislation approved unanimously by the Oklahoma House of Representatives would allow an individual who is convicted of a crime to file a motion to request forensic DNA testing of any biological material associated with the crime.
"Oklahoma is currently the only state that does not have a postconviction DNA process in place," said state Rep. Lee Denney (R-Cushing), the bill's author. "This legislation creates that process and thus makes it even more difficult for mistakes to fall through the cracks."
As of today, February 18, 2013, Uhles Drug Store will no longer be open for operation. But don't worry, Paul and Janice Lawson, owners, will open their new store, under a new name, at a new location that day.
Antlers Pharmacy, formally known as Uhles Drug Store, is located at 810 East Main in Antlers, across the street from Sharpe's. The same friendly and professional staff will be their to greet and assist you with all of your needs.
It's true! There are now 6 zebra living just outside Antlers in Pushmataha County, Oklahoma!
Becky Franks, owners/operators of Rebel Hill Guest Ranch, has proudly added zebra to the list of many things guests can enjoy while visiting her Guest Ranch located just outside Antlers on Ethel Road. That's right, six of these wonderful creatures graze alongside a shimmering pond just miles from downtown Antlers.
Over the weekend a live MMA Fight took place at the Grant Choctaw Casino Event Center. Attendees were thrilled to watch every punch of this hard-hitting mixed martial arts
sport as the Rage on the River returned to the casino for the second time, "Revenge."
Local assistant manager at Sonic, Perry Cannon, stepped into the octagon against Mike Wright, a fighter from Ft. Smith, TX., but the fight didn't last long. After a mere 33 seconds into the first round, Cannon won the bout with a guillotine choke, leaving his opponent unable to fend Cannon off.
Stewart G. Holmes, of Wister, passed away following a collision that occurred on February 8, 2013. He passed away on Feb. 9th at 7:30 a.m. at St. John's Hospital in Tulsa due to injuries sustained in the collision.
The collision occurred on HWY 271 and Cephas Roberts Road near Albion in Pushmataha County.
Holmes' 2005 Nissan Altama was westbound on HWY 271 and ran off the roadway to the left for unknown reasons and struck a tree. The driver, Holmes, was pinned for 25 minutes before being freed by Clayton and Talihina Fire Departments when they utilized the Jaws of Life.
Region 6 Regional Prevention Coordinators partnered with the Oklahoma Alcohol Beverage Law Enforcement Agency and the Antlers Police Department in conducting a string of Alcohol Compliance Checks in Pushmataha County.
According to reports there were nine stores that were checked in the county, three of which were out of compliance; these stores included liquor stores and convenience stores.
The Missoula Children's Theatre is back once again and is ready to start holding auditions for the 2013 production of "The Secret Garden." Missoula will cast 50-60 students from the community. Students will audition and then practice from 2-4 hours each night that week, depending on their part in the play. Their will be 2 performances on February 22nd, one for the school and one for the public at 6:30 p.m. Students from kindergarten through 12th grade are eligible to audition and there is no cost involved. Parents will need to provide snacks and supper for their child.

I stayed in this hotel from 29th Dec to 1st of Jan.
The location of the hotel is perfect as it is less than 30secs from the beach,although you do have to walk through a car park to access it. The staff were amazing and always very helpful
Room was made everyday to the highest standard
Only problem was there was bed bugs in the mattress...
I thought it was a fly that had bitten me in the first night so didnt take that much notice as I'm not a fussy person but by the end of my stay I was covered with bite marks. Again didnt make nothing of it until I got back and visited the docs to confirm that they where bug bites..
I would stay in this hotel again for the service but would recommend other guest to take insect cream just in case...

Headscratchers: Jet Set Radio
- During the last battle of Jet Set Radio Future, what ever happened to the pedestrians Rokaku's sculpture absorbed? When the GGs fight A.KU.MU inside of the structure, the only other beings present are the shadow police. Considering how the shadow police treat (that is, attack relentlessly) the GGs and the main way to escape them requires roller skates, did the shadow police kill the trapped pedestrians?
- Okay, it's been three to four years since I last played it, so I might be forgetting a few details, but...in Jet Set Radio Future, in the cutscene where Professor K tells us that Yoyo's been captured, his sunglasses are laying near Potts' kennel, and Potts is sniffing them. Then in the mission where you finally rescue him, he has his sunglasses back on. I know this is because the sunglasses are glued onto his character model, but how did he get them back? Does this kid keep an extra pair with him at all times?
- Is it out of the realm of possibility that his rescuer brought the glasses with him/her? I mean, every member of the GG's MUST know what Yoyo's glasses mean to him...
- Also, something that's really been confusing me: Are the Jet Set/Grind Radio and Jet Set Radio Future continuities connected? Some sources tell me JSRF is a sequel, some tell me it's a prequel, and others tell me it's an Alternate Continuity. Beat has been canonly confirmed to be 17, and if the JSR wiki is anything to go by, all of the Rudies were born in 1984. Combining this information together, this all means that the first JSR is taking place in 2001...But then, JSRF has been confirmed to take place in 2024, which means that they'd all be 40, but yet they still look and sound young (except Beat, who sounds like he hit puberty), and the police still refer to them as kids or youths. There's no way these games can both be in the same continuity..
- There's no way its a prequel. That means Professor K aged backwards. If it weren't for how the characters look though it could have been a sequel. It's an alternate continuity.
- Perhaps it's a sequel, and the "returning" characters are actually different people with the same nickname?
- When downloading the JSRF model rips for MMD, if you look through the texture files, you can see that the devs gave Beat eyes, but not Yoyo or Garam. I understand why Yoyo and Garam don't have eyes given the fact they're always wearing goggles/sunglasses, but you never see Beat's eyes either, so what was the point of giving him eyes?
- From what I understand, Beat was one of the first characters created. Maybe they did a complete model for him, then by the time the got to Yoyo/Garam, realized they didn't need the eyes? Or maybe they intended to make the glasses removable at some point, but it never got into the final version. All kinds of possibilities here, so who can say?

Are you a coffee addict? Show your love for all things java with these adorable earrings. Polymer Clay Java Beads from Candace Jedrowicz are a great jewelry craft that everyone will love. Add beads to the bottom for a fun touch.
- Polymer clay
- 20 gauge wire
- Jewelry making tools
- Beads
- Glass bead moons
- Dangling wires
- Ear wires
- These are the four steps of forming the low relief beads. See? Easy as pie!
- Gently make holes in the beads and bake according to the clay directions.
- If you want to turn the beads into earrings, you'll need some 20 gauge wire and jewelry making tools and maybe a few beads. I like to twist the wires to look like steam is rising from the cups. I'm a believer in accessories that move with you so I added glass bead moons and a little dangling wires that I flattened with a chasing hammer.
- These dangling darlings are ready for ear wires!

Written on: 14/07/2008 by angel88 (1 review written)
Good Points
I really like it's neat, tidy look, and the superb colour range.
I enjoy listening to all the ring tones, a very good range indeed!
I like the quality of the screen, and I really like it's smoothness,
The battery life is good, and the value for money is excellent. An all round good phone.
Bad Points
The only problems I have experienced are:
a) The fact that it doesn't warn you how much credit you have left, UNLESS: you text allowance to 150.
b) That it doesn't warn you that it costs you credit to ring voice mail.
General Comments
I really the like the LG Chocolate, and come the next time I am phone hunting, it will almost definetly be another LG chocolate.
Thanks to the colour range, cheap price and all the good reviews I have read.
I love this phone, a definite 10 rating!

We stranded in LA after our previous place to stay was cancelled. Eventually we decided to use airbnb and we found this appartment.
In the hurry, by accident, we hired for the next day but after calling the renter she told us the cleaner could only come tomorrow so we got the first night for free. Overall the appartment was spacious and we had everything we needed. Now and then we found dead cockroaches laying on the floor, but at least they were already dead when we found them. Everything worked well: the water, the wifi, the refridgerator etc so we really enjoyed the stay.
Great area, good space at the loft. Angie is very quick to respond and always helpful. Lots of small but thoughtful amenities throughout the apartment.
The place was very nice: well furnished, clean, not noisy. And it's in in a great location: there are a few restaurants in walking distance and more in 5 minutes driving.
Parking was easy only a block away and it felt like a safe area.
My friends and I had a very enjoyable stay at Angie's. The location was excellent. Close to shops and restaurants and to the Grove. We would definitely stay with Angie again when in LA. :)
I had the pleasure to stay in two different places hosted by Angie. I highly recommend her as the flats were really nice, very convenient, great design, very well located, The reality fitted exactly with the description, and Angie and her assistant Eleni were EXTREMELY helpful! If I come back to Los angeles, I will certainly try to book one her places! It was a real pleasure!
This was my first AirBnB experience and it was fantastic. The location was phenomenal and the space was exactly as advertised. It had all the necessary amenities and even included a guest street parking pass. I would highly recommend Angie's space to anyone.
This apartment is great! I stayed for two weeks and it was the perfect LA base.
It was so much bigger than I expected, the bedroom is huge and has 2 double beds.
It was clean tidy and and Angie was so great to deal with. She answered any questions I had promptly and was so accommodating when my airline cancelled my flight and I had to stay an extra night at super short notice.
The apartment is in a great position, I didn't have a car but it was not a problem as a lot of things are walking distance and transport is close by. And if you want to shop Melrose Ave is literally on your doorstep!
Highly recommended!

Ralph Waite and the Real Walton's Mountain
Ralph Waite, 85, passed away and the real "Walton's Mountain" is in mourning.
Schuyler, pronounced "Sky-ler," is about 30 miles south of Charlottesville, Virginia. Situated between Rockfish Gap and Scottsville, the town of 400 was founded in 1882. Best known as the boyhood home of Earl Hamner, Jr., the town, along with the rest of Nelson County, was devastated by fragments of Hurricane Camille in August 1969. The hurricane, which dumped three feet of rain in the region, made it a major weather event in America during the late 20th Century.
Schuyler is not a town with grid streets and a central downtown. It's more like a hamlet with pockets of houses sitting here and there along the winding country road.
During the early 1900s Schuyler thrived on the soapstone factories in the region. Soapstone is a rock that's soft enough to be carved into flooring tile and countertops. The mining of soapstone kept the region afloat until synthetic materials became popular and the Great Depression hit the country.
Schuyler became a bedroom community for people who worked in Charlottesville. Located about 30 miles up the road, Charlottesville is the home of the University of Virginia and the region's primary medical center, University of Virginia Hospital.
Walton's Mountain Museum is in the Blue Ridge Mountain foothills in western Virginia. The old high school, which was built in 1924 and in use until 1955, is now the Community Center and also the location for the museum.
A visitor to the museum will be able to see duplicates of John-Boy's bedroom, Ike Godsey's Store as well as The Waltons kitchen and living room. Next door is a new Military Museum which is annexed to the main building. A half-hour video introduces the visitor to the displays and gives a brief history of the area.
In 1992, with permission and financial help from Earl Hamner, Jr., the museum opened. The price of admission to the museum helps support Schuyler's food bank, literacy program and the county's volunteer fire and rescue squads. Scholarships for students, a health clinic and the local library are also supported through the work of the museum making it a win-win for the town and visitors.
The admission price is $5 and gets the visitor a guided tour of the museum and a place to visit a spell. The visitor is free to roam the museum and grounds and revisit favorite exhibits until closing time. About twenty years ago, Ralph Waite was able to visit the real "Walton's Mountain" and had good things to say about the museum and its work.
To get there take Interstate 64 West from Richmond, Virginia, and get off at State Route 29 as the interstate passes Charlottesville. Turning right on Rockfish River Road the museum will be the second building on the right.
Earl Hamner, Jr., AKA "John-Boy"
Earl Hamner, Jr., is the author of what many say is the most popular television series in America, The Waltons. Born in Schuyler, Hamner wrote several other autobiographical stories about his life in the Blue Ridge Mountains during the depression. Spencer's Mountain, 1963 was turned into a feature film starring Henry Fonda and The Homecoming was the basis for the hit TV show.
Earl Hamner, Sr.
John-Boy's father, played by Ralph Waite, was based on Earl Junior's real life father, Earl Hamner, Sr., who had worked at the village soapstone factory until it closed in the early part of the Great Depression. Just like in the series, Earl Sr. lost his job at the factory and opened up a sawmill next to his home.
Earl Sr. died in 1969 before his son's work was turned into the television series. His widow Doris lived until 1990 and was able to see her son become a famous author. Doris, who had actually had eight children, once joked that "…she could afford eight children, but CBS could only afford seven."
Although television viewers will miss Ralph Waite, the real "Walton's Mountain" can still be visited today.
By Jerry Nelson
9 Responses to Ralph Waite and the Real Walton's Mountain
Ralph waite was real good actor in the Walton, and in NCIS and Bones. Earl Hamner picked the best actor to be john Walton in the TV series Walton's. I still watch the show Walton today. Thanks Earl and Ralph just being you.
I loved Ralph Waite. He was a lot like my dad. I think he was the PERFECT person for that part. I feel like a member of my family. He seemed to be a wonderful man. My best to his family.
He was so much like my daddy I loved him

2001 Buick Century Q&A
2001 Buick Century Question: Price to repair intake manifold gasket
I have a slow leak and have an estimate to have the intake manifold gasket replaced. The cost to repair including antifreeze, labor (6 hrs)and parts is $550. Is this a fair price and is it a repair that needs to be done immediately. The light on the dash keeps saying "low coolant". - charliepal
Answer 1
6 hrs is a fair time for this repair. It requires removing the upper manifold, lower manifold, and fuel rail. Draining and filling the cooling system, and I would recommend oil and filter change at this time too. These engines are known for this problem gaskets have been redesigned several times to help fix the problem. If you have a white milky look to your oil or antifreeze you have a internal leak that can damage your rod and main bearings, external leak only could be slow for a while, then cause heat related damage to your engine. It is a pretty important repair, however if you watch carefully could go a couple weeks to get your money together. - torque wrench

The beginning of February social skills class will focus on Public vs. Private. Although the lesson looks simple as it is outlined here many of the topics covered during this section are critical for appropriate social interactions throughout life. As many missteps in this area can and are viewed as rude/eccentric or even through stereotypical prejudice. We typically try to cover this topic multiple times at the end of the year and as the students advance in both physical and social maturity. Please be advised that I always start with a SAFE person disclaimer and encourage each child to seek explore difficult/unsure topics with their families. I try to stay clear of giving advice or ethical education but no matter how well this is done an issue usually will come up. If this does I will call home and discuss what confused the students. Social skills is also the primary time to collect and teach IEP goals as well as assist students with any difficulties they may have in their general education/resource classes and provide related services with as little intrusion on the school day as possible. Social Skills Lesson Plans Feb 1-12 Topic: Public vs. Private Content: Topic maintenance, appropriate social settings, people Distinguish what types of topics are safe and appropriate in various settings and with different categories of people. Goals: Discern what types of activities are safe and appropriate in various settings and with different categories of people.

This is an exchange between two of the main characters in Ex Machina. A superb thriller, the film explores a range of ethical implications concerning the human ability to transcend itself through technological innovation. In this case, it focused upon the Turing Test, and the possibility of creating a conscious machine. Early on, the two characters cited above touch on what is in my mind a crucial ambiguity in the philosophy of technology. It goes back to Plato's Phaedrus, where Socrates cites writing's divine origins. Central to my recent work has been this question of the problematic way in which technique implies transcendence in philosophical discourse. With this problem in focus, I have aimed to provide an alternative approach to basic aspects of technique, such as writing in books. In any case, Ex Machina maintained a philosophical ambition worth noting alongside its coldly narrated suspense.
On Drones
Grégoire Chamayou "Theorizing the Drone," - http://wp.me/p4KhvY-4me
Longreads blog posted this interesting excerpt of four chapters from Chamayou's book A Theory of the Drone. The article contrasts the logic of the kamikaze and drone as follows: "The drone and the kamikaze stand in contrast as two opposed forms of moral sensibility, two forms of ethos that reflect each other but are each other's antithesis and nightmare." And yes, Francis Fukuyama really is a drone hobbyist - http://on.ft.com/1EG4PyU. For another take on critical aesthetics of drone practices, the National Gallery Victoria in Melbourne, was displaying the "Untitled (Drone)" series by Trevor Paglen. The works can be seen on his website here, but really need to be seen in person to appreciate their scale.

Writing Lately
I often use this website as a space to summarize my research writing. I've been busy this semester finishing two main projects in philosophy of religion.
The first looks at secularization. I've just finished editing a collection of essays for Palgrave Press on Religion after Secularization in Australia which should be out in September this year. The book focuses on the ways religion has changed through ongoing processes of secularization, with attention to the Australian case. It includes essays on the topic by historians, sociologists, legal and cultural theorists and philosophers. My own contribution concentrates upon the hermeneutics implicit to procedural accounts of secularization, with particular attention to religious discourse in the public sphere.
The second project I have been working on investigates the way technology implies transcendence. My approach to the problem focuses upon simple aspects of technology such as the development of writing. For instance, one of the earliest philosophical accounts of technological transcendence can be found in Plato's critique of writing in the Phaedrus. My approach to this topic is grounded in a return to unanswered questions in Derrida's grammatology and Heidegger's question concerning technology. I am just finishing the first monograph which begins with Derrida's deconstruction of Plato in order to return to an early moment in the development of the book, the rise of the codex in the first few centuries of the Common Era.

On Philosophy
Just came across this Philosophy Bites podcast that compiled responses to the question, "Who is the most impressive philosopher you've met?" 38 minutes of philosophers' answers gives you a sense of recurring criteria, such as wit, breadth, clarity, incisiveness, generosity, and humility, and a few names are repeated such as John Rawls, Derek Parfit, Hilary Putnam, and even Derrida gets a mention.

Bought a used set with the two kitlenses. A lot of camera for the money. Very quick and accurate focusing. A bit thick, but nice grip. Both screen and evf are difficult to use with sun against me, and the evf is not perfect for people who were glasses. The UI is ok, but a bit slow, as well as power-on. Very good image qualitet. But I don`t trust the metering, it`doesn`t make sense, in most conditions. Maybe it seems that I am unhappy with the cam, but no, I`m not.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
Sony SLT-A58
Once again, I let Sony's sizzle distract me from the steak of the matter... After having sworn off Sony products for a while, I found the concept of their SLT cameras intriguing -- indeed, I recommended the SLT-a55 to friends and they love it. So, when it came time to graduate from a P&S to an SLR, after much research, I settled on the a58. Out of the box, it's a great camera -- good size for my hands and very responsive for the price. Then, I went looking for things... I purchased the ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I bought a used one very cheep a few days ago (the 2 zoom kit). I like the most of it, but there is some flaws: There is no limit settings for auto iso. The viewfinder is a bit difficult for my glasses. I would also enjoyed more direct wheels instead of being forced into the meny system.View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I owned several Sony Alpha cameras, a37, a57, a77 and now a58. I also have comparison to Nikon, Canon and Panasonic cameras. The a58 is just a great and cheap camera, in current Sony camera lineup its in 3rd place: 1.a77II > 2.a99 > 3.a58 > 4.a57 > 5.a77 > 6.a900 > 7.a850 > 8.a65 > 9.a37 > ... You will ask why its better then a57, as on paper a57 is a lot better, well, here are my findings after using a58 for a while: (1) The AF on a58 is more accurate then a57 (on paper its the same). Its not ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

Coming from a video background I must say the advancements in technology allow for a startling increase in video detail with a dramatic drop in price. So I guess this idea is old hat but it's amazing you can do with a couple hundred bucks these days. Otherwise, I probably wouldn't be posting in this forum. I am not much of a photographer although I do enjoy taking photos and have snapped a few pics that people really appreciate. Great. This camera makes it easy to take wonderful photos and ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
After about a year and thousands of pictures, I remain convinced the a58 was the best camera I could buy for its price. The obvious good (shared with all SLTs I guess): EVF, IBIS, good availability of 2nd hand lenses (paid 320$ for the 16-50), beginner friendly modes, good color rendition, good live view, autofocus is fine, focus peaking is great... The good: (1) Well finished software: responsive UI, tethering works flawlessly, no bugs whatsoever;View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
(1) The A/F and lock-on focus are quick and very useful both in still as well as video. (2) OLED EVF is smaller than A65/A77 but still more than good enough at this price. Far accurate than A57. LCD & EVF is vice-versa from A57.. (3) I've not tested the battery back-up ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
My clear need was bird photography with fast autofocus and some reach. I did some hands-on on a borrowed A58. Wanted IBIS for using 50F18. There are many other reasons and my feelings about this camera. My rating are explained : Kids / pets : Quick autofocus (just some hunting in low light) Action / sports : Well its just 4fps but that can be good for school games with 8fps only jpg mode it bits others in class. Landscapes / scenery: excellent (Just remember to shoot RAW) Portraits : great ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review
I loved using the ability to use the tilted viewfinder. Got some awesome results at recent car shows. One of the quirks of the camera was the location of the movie button. I had a few instants where I had hit the button while changing settings on the camera. I located the disable button in the menu and it was not an issue after that was turned off. The other issue I had was the RAW format was not compatible to my PhotoShop CS5 software. It required an additional conversion to a DNG file ...View review in forums Leave a comment on this review

Student Musicians to Join ASO for Annual Side-By-Side Concert, 6/14
Student musicians from the Atlanta area, including members of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra (ASYO) and Talent Development Program (TDP), will perform a Side-By-Side Concert with members of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra on Saturday, June 14, 2014, at 8:00 p.m. in Atlanta Symphony Hall at the Woodruff Arts Center. ASO Assistant Conductor Joseph Young will lead the musicians in a program featuring Brahms's Academic Festival Overture, Tchaikovsky's Marche Slave, the "Berceuse and Finale" From Stravinsky's TheFirebird Suite, and the "Main Title" from John Williams's Star Wars, among others.
The Side-By-Side Concert will mark the end of an intensive week-long orchestral workshop, which allows students to participate in special coaching sessions with Atlanta Symphony musicians, sit next to Orchestra members in rehearsals, and receive nearly 30 hours of musical instruction from Mr. Young. Additionally, students will be paired with an Atlanta Symphony musician who will serve as their mentor throughout the entire workshop. Approximately 55 student musicians will participate in this year's Side-By-Side Concert, and openings are still available. Interested students must apply online at aso.org/sbsapplication by May 24, 2014.
This performance will mark Mr. Young's concert debut as ASO Assistant Conductor - a position in which he will assist with the artistic leadership of the Orchestra and serve as the primary conductor for the ASO's education and community concerts. He will also assume the role of Music Director of the Atlanta Symphony Youth Orchestra in the 2014-15 season.
Justin Blalock -the starting left guard for the Atlanta Falcons- has been an advocate for the ASO and its music education efforts since 2012 and will make a special appearance at this year's concert. Mr. Blalock, who grew up playing the tuba and continues to play the drums and guitar, recognizes the importance of music-rich educational experiences.
Tickets are $10 and may be purchased at the Woodruff Arts Center Box Office or by calling 404-733-5000. Additional details are available at aso.org/sidebyside.

When all is said and done, BYU will win if their shots drop. If not it could be
nip and tuck or a very long night.
I would much rather see balanced scoring like we saw in the last regular season game against SDSU than a 52 point explosion from the Jimmer (although I loved that).
If Jimmer, Jackson, Charles and Kyle develop even warm hands (let alone hot hands) it will be a long night for the folks from SC.

Crime, courts and legal issues in Milwaukee and throughout Wisconsin
How to improve Milwaukee's homicide ranking
According to a set of numbers we've come across, Milwaukee's 2006 homicide rank among American cities isn't 15th — it's 62nd.
A group of professors working for the Improving Crime Data initiative (funded by this part of the federal government) have spent the last few years reevaluating homicide statistics based on conditions in the cities where the killings happened. They take into account population and "differences across the cities in the level of socioeconomic disadvantage (a measure combining poverty, unemployment, race composition, and female-headed families)" in making their adjustment to the raw number of killings.
The results released yesterday by the ICD folks say that while Milwaukee had the 15th-most killings of any city in America in 2006, the city's adjusted ranking should be nearly 50 cities lower because the socioeconomic conditions here are bad enough that the city — statistically speaking only — should have more homicides.
That's not much consolation, but it's an interesting way to look at the numbers.

Exhibition: Great Art on Screen THE IMPRESSIONISTS
1 Hr. 30 Mins.
Tuesday July 14 – 7:00 p.m.
From Various World Collections
They are the world's most popular artists. The works of Cezanne, Monet, Degas and their compatriots fetch tens of millions of dollars. But just who were they really? Why and how did they paint? What lies behind their enduring appeal? To help answer these questions, Fathom Events has secured unique access to a major new exhibition focusing on the 19th century Parisian art collector Paul Durand-Ruel, the outspoken champion of Impressionism. This eagerly anticipated exhibition is perhaps the most comprehensive ever held about the Impressionists. Duran-Ruel's brave decision to exhibit the Impressionists in New York in 1886 introduced enlightened, wealthy Americans to modern French painting.
Fathom Events' 2015 Exhibition OnScreen Series is a series of cinema events showcasing the world's greatest art collections and blockbuster exhibitions. Exhibition OnScreen offers audiences around the world a private, guided tour of these exhibitions and the opportunity to immerse themselves in art in vibrant HD. In addition to the actual exhibitions they include interviews with art experts, behind the scenes access, collaborations with other artists and biographical features.

BAFTA winner and Academy Award® nominee Chiwetel Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave) takes the title role in this dynamic new production of one of English drama's oldest plays, directed by the National Theatre's new Director Rufus Norris (Broken, London Road).
Everyman is successful, popular and riding high when Death comes calling. He is forced to abandon the life he has built and embark on a last, frantic search to recruit a friend, anyone, to speak in his defence. But Death is close behind, and time is running out.
One of the great primal, spiritual myths, Everyman asks whether it is only in death that we can understand our lives. A cornerstone of English drama since the 15th century, it now explodes onto the stage in a startling production with words by Carol Ann Duffy, Poet Laureate, and movement by Javier De Frutos.

Summer Exhibition: Diane Love: Explorations in Art
July 11 – October 8
Opening Reception
Saturday, July 11 – 5-7pm
All are welcome
The M Studio Gallery's summer exhibition features a survey of the work of creative polymath, artist Diane Love. Each group of works in the exhibition has a thread that Diane feels represents the continuum in her aesthetic sensibility. And while the medium and subjects vary this through line is evident from her earliest canvases to her current photographic work. It is her belief that all artists have their own particular vocabulary of color, form and arrangement which are always evident. She will be giving gallery talks to explain the threads that connect her work [dates to be announced here shortly].
This exhibition presents a unique opportunity to see, first-hand, the creative progression of Love's work, from oils and watercolors to photography, over the course of her career to date. Each group of works in the exhibition has a distinct individual sensibility that reflects Love's creative direction at the time, yet when viewed as a body of work, the groups relate to one another, and communicate the artist's overarching personal aesthetic.

17 Tasting Notes
341 Tasting Notes
117 Tasting Notes
My second and last bottle. Slightly better than the prior bottle. Beautiful rich golden hue. Needed and hour to aerate and release its aromas and flavors to their fullest extent. At this stage, oak seems to predominate over the muted pear and somewhat tropical aromas. Don't think this is getting batter, but rather should be drunk now... And probably better a year ago.
Surprisingly disappointing given the pedigree. Nose was flat and muted. Taste was similar with lack of anything special.
Not a great deal of change in the past 10 months or so. Dark gold showing age. Still has initial oak that blows off quickly. Then, pretty tropical fruit with honey, vanilla and toast. Last bottle for me, but curious how this will develop from here.
Opened for 1.5 hrs before serving. Needs a 1+ hr decant IMO. This is a big wine, similar to the 2007 served with the previous course. Mis-paired with a crab salad, this wine needs heavier food (chicken, pasta) to shine. Served vs. the 2008 Ramey Ritchie and the additional oak/extract was evident -- with a delicate food I preferred the Ramey.
Drank from Mag. No decant. Medium cut in the mouth. Citrus flavors with a creamy almost carmel finish. Very Good but not quite up to the level of other Ritchie bottle's in the intensity of the fruit and verve on the plate. A hour in a decanter would have helped in my experience with Aubert wines.
