A little disappointed
I was excited to get it. It is as was described but the water isn't hot enough. You have to clean them really well before putting them in. It is faster to hand wash. Gave it away. Needed my countertop more.Read More
Poor Quality
Defective rack. Didn't even get to use it before I noticed it was broken/ not working correctly. Had to call the manufacture and now waiting for then to send a replacement rack. Overall poor quality item for the price.Read More
Well pleased.
I should have bought this months ago! It was super easy to install and operate. It came with two hoses that I had to screw on to the dishwasher and attach one end to the faucet, plug it in and it was ready to go. It even fit perfectly on our countertop. It's pretty quiet and works great. It would be perfect for someone in a small apartment, it only took up about as much space as our old dishrack did.Read More
My Fiesta plates didn't fit...
I had to return since my Fiesta dinner plates did not fit. As I was checking it out to attempt to hook up, the fittings for the inlet weren't anything like any I already had here at home on hand. I am not sure if it would have been an easy setup but am thinking it wouldn't be. Wish I could have used it, though!Read More
Excellent washer, Great Value
When I purchased this unit, there were no reviews on Overstock or for that matter anywhere else. The main reason I purchased it was for the # of settings it could take at one time and the # of cycles available. I knew Overstock would never knowingly sell something that was Cr#p, so I gave it a shot and was predictably satisfied with the product. It came well packed, had ALL of the adapters and such. The manual was concise and easy to read (No Changlish). Unit is well built and quiet as a mid grade built-in. Solved my problem in my small kitchen that did not have space for a roll-around or built-in and took use of that awkward corner on the counter we all have and don't quite know what to do with it. Buy it, you wont regret it. CharlesRead More
Can't Believe I Suffered All These Years Without!
This product was 30 less than on a well-known competitors site, and that does not even take into account the free shipping to one's front door. Have used this SPT for months's now and I could not be happer! It is absolutely, hand's down, Perfect! Quiet, dependable, user-friendly and cleans spotlessly (with Sun gel and Finish rinse.) I was advised by my local utilities company, during a discussion with a supervisor, that dishwashers actually decreased total energy usage when compared to handwashing; I thought it to be the other way around. But, it appears thie units only use about 2-3 gallons of hot water and we all know how that hot water tank constantly heating can raise the electric bill, especially if it is an electric tank. Not to mention the sanitary aspect. I particularly ordered this countertop unit based on it holding a 6 place serving and the web reviews mentioned it was very quiet, which it is. (Originally, I had my eye on another model which reviewed as 'noisy.')' I could not be happier and credit myself with a wise decision. I Absolutely LOVE this unit and will never be without one again!Read More
Does a great job!
I bought this dishwasher as a gift for my sister, she does not have room for a full size dishwasher. She loves it! Her only complaint is that it does not load and unload itself. It does a great job getting the dishes clean.Read More
Portable Countertop Dishwasher
There was only one review also when I ordered this dishwasher. I did take a chance because no manufacturer was mentioned is the "specifications". Regardless, I am very pleased with my washer. It has been given a workout and functions quite well. I particularly like the "pre-wash" option. The only reason that I give this a 4 rating is because I've found that the items at the back of the washer are not as clean, e.g. glasses. A whitish film is left on the glasses; they feel as if they had be sandblasted ? Otherwise easy hookup, no leaks, most quiet washer I've ever had. I recommend this 6 place setting washer.Read More
Not Worth It
This thing is a decent dishwasher but unless you have a lot of space to spare and 2 faucets don't bother buying one of these. It takes about 1 1/2 hours for a wash cycle so your sink will be unusable for anything else while it is running. It is quite large and heavy so it is not good to move around on a regular basis, it is meant to stay in one place. I suppose you could put it on a wheeled cart but if you're going to do that you're probably better off getting one that has wheels built in. Overall it was not worth it for my needs. I returned it and I am just hand washing my dishes. I do not like manual washing of the dishes but it is faster and not all that bad.Read More
Questions & Answers
price and reveiws
small kitchen
Can you confirm that this machine can accommodate dinner plates that are just over 10.5 inches in diameter? I've read different answers all over the place about this product.
Hello skee1080, yes, this will accommodate dishes up to 11.5 inches in diameter. Thanks for shopping with us!
How much room needs to be in front of the unit to allow the door to open completely?
Hi elliekravitz, after reviewing with our support staff, we found that the total depth of the unit with the door open is 34 inches. I hope this helps, thank you for shopping with us.
Can the adapter fit to any faucet?
Hello, brewbuddy92. The adapter will fit a majority of faucets. Thanks for shopping with us! l.b.
Does the faucet adapter include a fresh-water by-pass; I saw an advertisement for EdgeStar on YouTube; and the EdgeStar had one. One of the reviews for this item that I read suggests that there is no fresh water by-pass. Thanks. Mark
Hello marklawernce! This item does not include a fresh waster bypass. Thanks for shopping with us! -Amanda P
Can this dishwasher be used with hard water? Also, if it can, should I purchase salts for it? What brand of salts would work best? (sorry so many questions.)
Yes bluebird2139, this unit will work with hard water. Although hard water conditions may affect the washing performance of your dishwasher. We recommended to run the unit(empty) using 1 cup of white vinegar at least once a week. I hope this helps, thanks for shopping with us.
Can it be permantly mounted in a cabinet?
Hello esaw, This does not mount in a cabinet. It does not come with the hardware to be mounted. Thank you for shopping with us!
I don't see why you can't customize it to mount. Although it doesnt bring any hardware, a knowledgeable person can figure out a way to do it depending on the setup youre looking to do. If microwabves can be mounted, so can this.
I saw a few comments on Amazon that said yes, but the poster(s) had a plumber do it. I had considered it but realized that there is a board splitting my under-sink space and I'd never get the darned thing in there.
Can it wash pots and pans?
Yes, it can.
I haven't found that to be true, but it could be that my water just doesn't get hot enough.
Approximately how long are the wash cycles?
The unit has six cycles ranging from 30 minutes to 145 minutes.
depends on the cycle you chose. the strongest cycle takes about 1 hour.
There are different cycles. I usually use the one that takes about an hour.
What is the largest diameter a plate could be and still fit in the dishwasher?
The largest diameter this unit can accommodate is 11.5 inches.
Can I place this unit below sink level and still have the water pumped out?
. The unit can be placed below counter - as long as the drain tube (which is 5 feet) can remain a smooth connection.
Has this dishwasher been UL or NSF approved?
No, but it does have CSA approval.
How load is this dishwasher?
Fits up to 6 standard place settings.
What is the sound like on this machine? \
The noise level on this dishwasher is 55 decibels.

This model has two hoses, one for water-in and the other is for draining. Both hoses are 5 feet long.
What the the actual dimensions on this dishwasher? Can you direct me to installation info as well. Thank you

How to Hook Up a Portable Dishwasher
Cozy kitchens can have all the conveniences of large kitchens. Just because your kitchen is small doesn't mean you can't enjoy large appliances, like dishwashers. Portable dishwashers are a convenience for small kitchens. When there isn't enough cabinet space to begin with, it's hard to justify installing a dishwasher and losing even more storage areas. Portable dishwashers are convenient and simple to hook up, and they even create an additional work surface for your kitchen. Since they roll on casters, portable dishwashers can easily be stored out of the way until they are ready to be used.
How to Clean Your Dishwasher
Proper cleaning of your dishwasher will keep it looking and performing like new for years to come. You may regularly clean out your refrigerator and wipe down your other kitchen appliances, but dishwasher maintenance and cleaning care is often overlooked for the simple reason that many believe a dishwasher will simply clean itself. However, without proper cleaning, your dishwasher can be a breeding spot for germs and grime that will leave your dishes anything but clean and sanitary, and not cleaning your dishwasher can lead to other dishwasher problems as well. In order to avoid a germy build-up of mold and grime on your dishware, use the following techniques when cleaning your dishwasher.
How to Buy the Right Size Dishwasher
When it comes to essential large appliances, dishwashers are one of the most common and most used in homes everywhere. For first-time buyers, figuring out what size of dishwasher to choose may be a little confusing. Aside from size, you also need to consider capacity, location, family size and more. This guide will help you make sense of your different options.
How to Choose the Best Dishwasher
Choosing a dishwasher is a personal decision based on many factors. Like other large appliances, dishwashers vary widely in performance, the amount of water used, size, style and options. In fact, it is hard to define the best dishwasher when there are so many variables. For example, the best dishwasher for a bachelor could be a compact dishwasher perfect for a loft apartment while the best dishwasher for a family of five may be a large stainless steel dishwasher that will hold up under years of heavy use. Before you make your choice, you must first determine what is most important to you in a dishwasher.
How to Buy a New Dishwasher
When buying a new dishwasher, you'll normally first concern yourself with price and style. While these two elements are important to the purchase of all large appliances, they're only a few of the factors to consider when buying a new dishwasher. Along with the standard considerations, such as capacity and energy use, it's important to consider the size and interior layout of your new dishwasher. Armed with information regarding size requirements and family usage, choosing your new dishwasher becomes an endeavor that is simple and possibly even enjoyable.
FAQs about Energy-efficient Dishwashers
If you want the sparkling clean of dishwashers without the waste, energy-efficient dishwashers are perfect for your kitchen. Not only do energy-efficient dishwashers save you dollars on your energy bill; they save gallons of water while still giving your dishes the cleaning treatment they deserve. These new dishwashers are generally 10 percent more efficient than older models and just as effective. Considering the added benefits, there is no reason to not own an energy-efficient dishwasher. If you still have a few doubts, here are some answers on common questions.
Dishwasher Loading Tips
In order to increase the efficiency of your dishwasher and save yourself the trouble of washing dishes by hand, you'll want to know how to load your dishwasher racks properly and be aware of which dishes should not be washed in even the best dishwasher. Save money on your water, soap and dishwasher repair and cut time spent in the kitchen when you follow these tips on loading the dishwasher.
Trends in Modern Dishwashers
Like most large appliances, dishwashers have advanced quite a bit in the last few years, with features designed to make washing dishes easier than ever and save you money by using less energy. However, modern dishwashers come with a bewildering array of extras; some of which are useful and some of which are superfluous. This buying guide will talk about some of the most useful dishwasher trends out there, which will help you find the best dishwasher for your home.
Top 10 Small Appliances
Appliances make life easier. Nowhere is this more evident than in the kitchen, where large and small appliances save people time and effort every single day. Although large appliances, such as refrigerators, ovens and dishwashers, are crucial to a functional kitchen, small appliances bring a diversity of conveniences to your kitchen. No kitchen should be without these top 10 small appliances.
How to Replace a Kitchen Countertop
Replacing a kitchen countertop is an easy home improvement that not only updates the look of a kitchen, but also adds value to the house. Many kitchen countertops come in standard sizes with a pre-cut hole for the sink, which allows you to simply remove the existing countertop and fit the new one before reattaching the sink. Kitchen countertops come in a variety of designs and materials, from the economical laminate to more expensive and durable granite or marble.
Best Types of Tile for Kitchen Countertops
Tile kitchen countertops are an affordable alternative to traditional solid stone units. Countertop tile can be made from many of the most popular materials, such as granite or quartz, yet costs just a fraction of the price. Tile countertops are also easy to install and repair, making them the perfect project for the DIY homeowner. Ceramic. Ceramic tile is made from natural clay that is baked to remove excess moisture. It is available in a wide variety of colors and designs that can be mixed and matched to any kitchen. Ceramic tile is affordable, easy to install and very low maintenance. It is also waterproof and able to withstand high temperatures from hot dishes. If you choose ceramic tile for your kitchen countertops, you should be aware that ceramic tile can crack or chip if heavy objects are dropped on it. To minimize grout stains, you can choose a dark grout and use a grout sealer to protect the seams from dirt. Mosaic. Mosaic tile comes in tiny 1-inch square units. It is often sold in large sheets that are attached to a mesh backer-board, making for easy and fast installation. These tiles can be mixed to create unique patterns and textures, and are very durable. One advantage of mosaic tiles is that they are colored all the way through, so a chip or crack will not be as visible as with ceramic tile. Granite. Granite tile is a natural stone product that is widely popular in kitchen decor. Tiles made from granite offer the beauty of natural stone at a fraction of the cost. Granite tiles often have a mottled surface that helps to hide dirt and fingerprints and are incredibly strong and long-lasting. Like all granite products, these tiles must be sealed after installation and at least once a year for the duration of their use. Quartz. Quartz tile is a manufactured product designed to look similar to granite while offering superior performance. It is made from crushed quartz crystals pressed together with resin. Quartz tile has a smooth and uniform surface with a consistent grain. It is slightly less expensive than granite and is much more durable and long-lasting. Unlike granite, quartz tiles do not need to be sealed. They are completely nonporous, which prevents bacteria from becoming trapped in the surface. Quartz cannot be repaired as easily as granite, however, and it offers none of the natural beauty and color variation of real stone. View All Tile Back to Guides Directory View All Tile
How to Cut a Hole in a Countertop for Your Kitchen Sink
Updating the countertop with a new kitchen sink in your kitchen can give the room some new life. Installing a new kitchen sink requires cutting a hole in the countertop and fitting the sink into position. A jigsaw is sufficient for cutting a laminate countertop, but if you own a solid-surface countertop, you will use a router to make the cuts. With a little attention to detail and safety, you can cut the hole yourself by following a few simple steps.

Where to Use a Portable Air Conditioner

On a scorching summer day, portable air conditioners can make your room a refuge from the heat. Whether you are short on space, need a little extra cooling in a problem area or just want to keep your personal space at a constant, cool temperature, portable air conditioners are the solution to all your summer woes.

Room air conditioners are relatively easy to use, but here are a few common questions to help you use them efficiently.
How to Use a Portable Air Conditioner
Nothing will bring more immediate relief to a hot summer day than a portable air conditioner. If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Portable air conditioners are reasonably easy to use, but there are still a few things you should know.

calmbirth classes melbourne

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a claim birthing class in Melbourne.
I live in the Knox area, and i am not the most relaxed person i would be more described as a stress head and i would really prefer not to have a epidural if it can be avoided.
any advice...good books or classes people have done?
thank you

Hi Ellie,
We've just completed our calmbirth course. I'll PM you the details of who we went with.
I feel a lot more relaxed about the whole process now - our instructor got us to focus on how we want to feel when we look back at the birth. So for us, that's feeling like we've lead the process and been respected all the way through, no matter what happens - doing that has helped me stop focusing so much on the nitty gritty 'what ifs' and think about the big picture.
I also feel a lot more confident about coping with the sensations and staying at home as long as possible.

Hi op
My DH and I attended a private Calm Birth course in Doncaster( if not private usually in Balwyn) that was amazing if you are still interested PM and I will give you the details.

Hi, My sister is a Midwife and teachers Calm birthing PM if you would like her details
Posted 15 February 2013 - 03:54 AM
I have PMed you the details.
Posted 19 February 2013 - 05:58 PM
After searching high and low I found Lainey at lotuscalmbirth.
Actually, my obstetrician recommended her calmbirth classes to me. Thank goodness we went. I was petrified and to be quite honest so was hubby. We loved the workshop. She is wonderful and informative. I think it really helped that she was a midwife and got us both totally prepared. Totally thinking Yeh!!!...We can do this!!
So....I gave birth to our beautiful little girl and can honestly say it was the best day of my life. I breathed through my contractions and even though she was posterior, we did a few techniques Lainey taught us and she turned and out she came. Such a clever little thing... I diverge... sorry. Any how, just letting you know that she was great. Good luck
Posted 20 February 2013 - 10:26 PM
I'd also appreciate any recommendations on calm birth classes in Melbourne, just PM me, thanks.

if there's urahara n yoruichi, i would have voted for them.
Ishida Uryuu - Inoue Orihime
Kurosaki Ichigo - Kuchiki Rukia
Hitsugaya Toushirou - Hinamori Momo
Kurosaki Ichigo - Inoue Orihime
Kuchiki Byakuya - Hisana
Matsumoto Rangiku - Ichimaru Gin
Kyouraku Shunsui - Ise Nanao
Jinta - Ururu
Abarai Renji - Kuchiki Rukia
Zaraki Kenpachi - Kusajishi Yachiru
if there's urahara n yoruichi, i would have voted for them.
come on it is definitely Ichigo and Rukia. they fit each other. they have the same personalities.
Hitsugaya Toushirou - Hinamori Momo....cute couple
man Ichigo n Orihime they both have orange colored hair or similarly colored hair, n Orihime got the goodz where Rukia iz like really old n still under developed (WAT!!!!) cmon if it were u wuldn't u make the obvious choice?Orihime all the way!!!!!!!
one thing i know is....rukia's a hell lot older than ichigo man...no matter how ya look at it...no way they gonna go with each other....lol
plus...this is a shounen manga guys!! action, action!! - W
Orange hair + orange hair looks weird. o.O
Actual age isn't a factor when the other doesn't age normally. Look at all the manga where someone isn't quite human, is really, really old, and still gets together with the young main character because *physically* and *mentally* they're not that old.
I agree with Red on this They fit perfectly and theres enough evidence of it to come out the wazoo. Plus their quarels are awesome ^^Originally Posted by redrum305
i voted hitsuXmomo but the more interesting couple is rangikuXgin. theres just something about the two of them that i really like.
but thinking about it, it maybe that i just like childhood relationships . . hitsuXmomo, rangikuXgin, renjiXrukia
i heart kodocha <3
rukia x ichigo, hitsugaya x momo
hitsugaya x hinamori <3
Ichigo x Rukia <3
Gin x Rangiku <3
Renji x Rukia <3

MLB.com reported via Twitter that Detroit Tigers outfielder Delmon Young has been placed on the restricted list in relation to his Friday arrest for a hate crime. The move allows the club to recall outfielder Danny Worth from Class AAA Toledo while Young is out. Young was arrested early Friday morning after attacking a pan-handler at a Manhattan hotel and using anti-Semitic remarks. The club has not commented on the arrest but Young issued a statement apologizing for the incident.

Wanda DeHaven Pyle, Author of Windborne, and The Legacy Trilogy
in Writing
Wanda DeHaven Pyle, a late-comer to the field of writing, grew up on a farm in the Flint Hills of Kansas. A frequent writer of stories as a child, she always thought that one day she would grow up to become a writer. Unfortuntely, life had a way of intervening in the best of her plans.
Wanda is descended from a long line of educators going back as far as anyone can remember. It seemed a natural course for her to take at a time when few careers were open to women. Thus, a career in education coincided nicely with marriage and children and allowed her the flexibility to be home when they were little while still pursuing her love of literature.
Retiring after 38 years as a teacher and administrator, Wanda decided to reinvent myself as an author and pursue a dream that had been deferred since childhood.

Bishop Noel Jones Your Faith Will Get You Though The Storm
in Christianity
Bishop Noel Jones Some may know him as "Bishop," others as an astute intellectual, a columnist, prolific orator, theatrical producer, and still others as a beloved father, grandfather and loyal friend. No matter your point of reference, there are few places you will travel on this side of heaven without hearing the great name of Bishop Noel Jones. Bishop Jones was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica on January 31, 1950. One of seven children born to Bishop Robert and Marjorie Jones, Noel Jones was raised alongside a diverse array of siblings (one of whom is the famed actress and singer Grace Jones). He once mused, "If I could reconcile and keep peace among us, I can reconcile the Church through the power of God." Add to this skill of mediation, a strict rearing under Pentecostal tenets, and the enduring of an early childhood abuse, and it should become increasingly clear why God called Bishop Jones into the ministry at the tender age of nineteen. His experiences nurtured his unique call to the ministry of reconciliation and honed his distinct ability to transcend tradition in his delivery of the gospel, through widening spiritual parameters in order to reach diverse people of manifold backgrounds, cultures, and denominations.

The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab - The Rise Fall and Rebirth of Willie Mays Aikens
in Sports
"The Mad Scientist of Sports" Nick Ficorelli returns. However, this is not the average everyday sports show he is bringing back to the air waves. "The Mad Scientist" has created his own personal sports lab, and you, the audience, as well as many of his special guests, will be his test subjects. He will throw theories out, and you never know where they will be coming from. He will keep everyone guessing, and he will open his lab to any and all comers. Be prepared for "mad science" of sports at its best.
This week is a special epsiode of The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab, as at 10pm, he welcomes Kansas City Royals legend Willie Mays Aikens into the lab. Aikens was once one of the most feared hitters of the late 1970' and early 1980's with the Royals, helping lead Kansas City to the AL pennant in 1980. However, drugs overcame him, and he ended up in prison for almost 20 years. However, since his release in 2008, Aikens has has spoken at schools about his experiences and to the Royals' young players, always hoping to return to baseball. In November 2008, apologized to Royals fans and the people of Kansas City in the Kansas City Star. In 2011, he returned to the Royals Family in the organization, and has since wrote a book about his rise, fall and rebirth "Safe At Home". As an extra added attraction, JP Muzio, former host of The Sports Ministry and Off The Wall, will be joining me on the interview.
Also appearing this week - 1030pm, Andrew Garda of NJ.com and Bleacher Report to talk some New Jersey college sports (Rutgers, Seton Hall and more); 11pm, Derek Helling of Outside Pitch MLB returns to preview the American League West; 1130pm, Matt Zemek of The Student Section to talk some NCAA Basketball and a Preview to March Madness.
The beacons are lit, the experiments are set, and "The Mad Scientist's Sports Lab" is open for study!!!

A New Three-Way All-Pass Crossover Network Design
Of the currently known types of three-way, all-pass crossover networks, one can be realized by active low-pass and high-pass stages only, and the other can be configured to provide an extra rapid roll-off in it's high-pass channel. New three-way all-pass crossover networks through order four are derived which combine both properties.

Canvas Print
Secrets She Whispersby Studio Yuki
Fine art print on bright white, fine poly-cotton blend, matte canvas using latest generation Epson archival inks. Individually trimmed and hand stretched museum wrap over 1-1/2" deep wood stretcher bars. Includes wall hanging hardware.
This photograph was taken at the partly burned down Abshoven monastery in the Netherlands. The place has been abandoned for years and I always wanted to go there. When I finally decided to go, I found the place sealed off for renovation works and with high fences around it. I was really thinking about shooting a few pics from the outside and leave, when I saw this amazing mural. So I decided to give it a go and climbed the fence (with a skirt on and I didn't even rip it, must be my lucky day, huh?) and the inside was just fantastic!! I felt like a 12 year old again! Good times :)

Is it even worth using? I talked to the guy at my LHBS who lives in the neighboring town. He told me not to waste my time and just buy bottled water.
Yikes. Do you have to pay for that?
I'd have to agree with your LHBS, that water is a train wreck...
You could do stouts and pale ales with it if you decarbonate it (boiling or lime treatment) but given the ready availability of RO water these days you do not need to accept these limitations.
Thanks for looking at this. Sucks that I have to go and buy water every time I brew.
Bicarbonates of 468?! Holy cow! And I thought that Joliet water was bad at 335.
I live in Lockport as well! I have been using RO water but now brewing All Grain. Are you adding salts to the water? I haven't been thus far, but just got some Gypsom for my next brew tomorrow night. I knew the water was bad so I never bothered to use it. Curious what kind of treatment you are doing of you are AG brewing. You wouldn't happen to live in Victoria Crossings would you? I've seen an AG brewer in the neighborhood, thought I'd ask.
Figured I would bring this thread back to life instead of creating a new one. This is from a Ward Labs report dated 5/30/14 for Lockport IL. I am near the Broken Arrow golf course on the Southeast edge of town. All I can say is our water sucks I end up using mostly RO water.

Muhammad Ali changed the face of athletes
(Part Two...to read part one, please click here)
Cassius Clay did not just throw out his name after he beat Sonny Liston. At a press conference two days after the fight, Cassius X started reshaping the world.
BEST COMEBACKSMuhammad Ali is just one of the remarkable athletes who made a big comeback. See how other athletes returned to their sports.
"I know where I'm going, and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be," he told reporters. "I'm free to be what I want to be."
Free to be what he wanted to be.
No athlete, especially a black one, had made a proclamation like that. It has echoed for 50 years now, since Cassius Clay became the heavyweight champion. He briefly became Cassius X before taking the most famous name in sports history.
Muhammad Ali.
His last fight was 33 years ago. Promoters, fighters and the U.S. government itself could never silence him, but Parkinson's disease has.
People born after Ali retired know him only as one of the most admired people on earth. If you're older, you remember Ali being one of the most despised.
"It was hate," said Dr. Richard Lapchick, the director of the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport. "People reviled him in large numbers."
Love or hate, that kind of stature requires being in the right place at the right time. Welcome to American in the 1960s.
'FEELING FINE'After a report he was ailing, Muhammad Ali's family posted this picture on Twitter of the ex-champ preparing to watch the Super Bowl.
The Civil Rights movement and Vietnam War became moral crusades. But having the right place and time wouldn't have mattered without the right person.
Ali came to symbolize both movements. The evolution began with the heavyweight fight in Miami. Much of America's establishment longed to see the lippy 22-year-old who hung out with the Nation of Islam have his mouth slammed shut.
"Liston used to be a hoodlum; now he was our cop," Murray Kempton wrote in the New Republic. "He was the big Negro we pay to keep sassy Negroes in line and he was just waiting until his boss told him it was time to throw this kid out."
It could not have been mere coincidence that the Beatles showed up at 5th Street Gym. Fresh off their "Ed Sullivan Show' appearance, they put on gloves and playfully posed for pictures with Clay.
The times were a-changing, and John, Paul, George, Ringo and Cassius would shape the coming revolutions. Though as the cameras clicked that day, John Lennon did not have much faith in his fellow traveler.
THE GREATESTSee some highlights from Muhammad Ali's career.
"The other guy's going to win," he told the promoter.
The 7-1 favorite couldn't answer the bell for the seventh round. Then Ali took the stage and all bets were off.
Athletes were to be seen and cheered, but not necessarily heard. Jack Johnson won the heavyweight championship in 1908, taunted his white opponents, married three white women and ended up in jail. Another black was not allowed to even fight for the title until Joe Louis in 1937.
Jackie Robinson came along 10 years later. For all he endured, however, baseball's color barrier would have crumbled without him.
"If Jackie Robinson hadn't come along, somebody else would have integrated Major League Baseball. Whether it was Willie Mays or Hank Aaron or Roy Campanella," Ali biographer Thomas Hauser said. "If Jack Johnson hadn't come along, some black man would have become heavyweight champion of the world."
The times were such that if Ali hadn't come along, some athlete would have become politically active. But they would not have had a platform like Ali. He was heavyweight champion of the world, after all.
He was also Ali.
"He was the first athlete to go off at the mouth," Hauser said.
Richard Sherman can trace his boisterous lineage back to the Louisville Lip. Before Ali, athletes were one-dimensional heroes who didn't dance in end zones or wear mink coats or basked openly in their bling. But he didn't must make the world safe for Deion Sanders.
"Ali's influence was much greater in terms of awakening the black consciousness and making black people feel good about being black," Hauser said.
Ali was the first athlete to challenge American society. Before long, Bill Russell was decrying racism in Boston. Jim Brown started the Black Economic Union. Lew Alcindor was publicly questioning his role in society.
All of them were labeled, but none paid the price like Ali. He completely threw in with the Nation of Islam, whose leader, Elijah Muhammad, accused whites of genocide.
Ali echoed those teachings. And when he said religious objections prevented him from joining the Army and going to Vietnam, he risked far more than a few endorsements.
He was stripped of his title as the courts debated his conscientious objector status. Unable to box for four of his prime years, Ali spread his activist message on campuses and in synagogues.
"He was out front and publicly took on issues people were afraid to talk about," Lapchick said.
It's hard to say when the hate started to dissolve. But when he returned to the ring, people were reminded why they were drawn to him in the first place. Nobody could box and entertain like Ali.
Americans saw his playful verbal sparring with Howard Cosell. They saw the epic battles against Joe Frazier, culminating with the Thrilla in Manila.
There was the Liston-like upset of George Foreman in Zaire. Leon Spinks made him look old, but Ali returned to win the heavyweight title for the third time.
Along the way, sentiment changed about the Vietnam War. Ali's defiance now looked like a principled stand. He had his flaws and many never agreed with his convictions. But there was no doubt Ali had risked everything to follow them.
Lapchick met Ali in 1979 when was working at the United Nations. Ali was more an icon than a boxer by then, and Lapchick recruited him to give a speech to the General Assembly. The vast hall was packed as Ali started reading the speech Lapchick had written.
About two sentences in, Ali veered off course. He started talking about how the U.N. was a failed institution that needed to be replaced for the good of mankind.
"He was typical Ali in terms of talking from his heart," Lapchick said.
The diplomats from around the world still admired him, as did the people they represented. The odd thing was Ali, who'd declared himself "The Greatest" for decades, didn't comprehend his impact.
In the early 1990s, PBS did a documentary series on prominent African-Americans. It wanted to do a program on Ali and sent him tapes of episodes that had been finished.
Hauser was working on the book, "Muhammad Ali: His Life and Times." Together they watched episodes on Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Andrew Young and others.
"What did I do that they want me in this series?" Ali asked.
If he didn't get it then, it had to be clear on a July night in 1996. It was the Opening Ceremony of the Atlanta Olympics, and a quivering figure appeared at the top of the stadium. The world cheered as Ali slowly lit the cauldron.
He'd won the gold medal in 1960 as light-heavyweight, but said he threw it in the Ohio River after being refused service at a restaurant and harassed by a white motorcycle gang. The story is probably myth, but Ali's Olympic appearance symbolized the completion of a circle.
So much had changed since he was an 18-year-old in Rome. The anti-hero had become everyone's hero. In his quest to be free to be what he wanted to be, Ali became the most influential figure on earth.
"The only person in his league was Nelson Mandela," Lapchick said.
He once even told that to Mandela, who quickly settled the issue.
"These days," he said. "I'd give it to Ali."

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un 'sacks powerful uncle and has his aides executed'
The North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is believed to have dismissed an uncle, a man key to his rise to power, South Korean politicians said, in a move that could help consolidate his power base with a group of younger aides.
Jang Song-thaek was probably sacked as vice-chairman of the National Defense Commission and as a department head of the ruling Workers' Party, an MP Jung Cheong-rae said, citing a senior South Korean official in its National Intelligence Service (NIS).
Analysts who watch the North's power structure say Mr Jang's removal would not have been possible without the approval of the third Kim to rule in the family dynasty.
The move is likely to tip the balance in favor of the top political operative for the army, Choe Ryong-hae, which could mean a symbolic victory for the 1.2 million-strong military. Mr Choe, director of the General Political Bureau of the Korean People's Army, has been the most prominent figure to accompany Mr Kim at public events and is a reminder of the state's political roots in military power.
There was no mention of Mr Jang's fate on North Korea's KCNA news agency, the primary source of information for outsiders, which regularly carries editorials threatening the South and the United States.
Two members of the South Korean parliament's Intelligence Committee told separate news briefings that the NIS had confirmed the public execution of two close aides to Mr Jang on grounds of corruption. "The briefing by an NIS senior official was that they believe Jang Song-thaek has lost his posts," said Mr Jung, who is the ranking opposition member of the intelligence committee. A ruling party member of the committee held a separate news briefing and delivered a similar report.

Defense Infrastructure:
DOD Needs to Provide Updated Labor Requirements to Help Guam Adequately Develop Its Labor Force for the Military Buildup
GAO-10-72: Published: Oct 14, 2009. Publicly Released: Oct 14, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4523
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense (DOD) plans to increase its military presence on Guam from about 15,000 in 2009 to more than 39,000 by 2020 at a cost of more than $13 billion. The growth will create temporary construction jobs and permanent civilian jobs with the military, with contractors, and in the Guam community. GAO was asked to examine the extent to which DOD and the government of Guam have (1) planned for temporary construction labor requirements and the means to meet the requirements for building military infrastructure to support the force in Guam and (2) identified permanent federal and non-federal civilian jobs and shared this information so that Guam can develop its workforce to better compete for job opportunities. To address these objectives, GAO obtained documents and interviewed officials from DOD, the Services, government of Guam offices, and the Guam higher educational community.
DOD and the government of Guam have both started planning for temporary defense construction labor requirements; however, these plans are still preliminary until DOD's Master Plan has been finalized. The Master Plan is to incorporate the results of the environmental impact statement containing an analysis of various socioeconomic impacts of the realignment related to specific proposed actions and is targeted to be finalized with a record of decision in January 2010. DOD officials expect that this socioeconomic analysis will estimate the impact of the expanded military presence on Guam's employment. Nonetheless, DOD and the government of Guam have done some preliminary labor planning. For example, the Navy determined the range of the number of workers needed based on infrastructure costs, using a standard planning factor to estimate the size of the temporary construction workforce. Specifically, the Navy estimated that annual construction spending of $1 billion would require about 5,000 to 10,000 workers and that at its maximum the workforce could consist of 20,000 construction workers. However, since the Navy expects its contractors to be responsible for hiring and maintaining their labor force to construct the DOD facilities, the actual temporary construction workforce will not be known until contracts are awarded and the contractors begin to hire local residents and transfer other workers to Guam from other locales. The government of Guam is also trying to prepare island residents to be part of the temporary construction work force. The government plans to train island residents with the construction and related skills needed to effectively compete for temporary construction employment and also plans to focus on training residents to compete for more permanent jobs after the construction phase is over. DOD has started identifying permanent federal and non-federal civilian positions that will accompany the Marines moving to Guam. Although DOD has estimated more than 1,600 civilian jobs will be needed, DOD has shared its preliminary estimates with only two organizations within the government of Guam and not with Guam's educational community. Without this information, the Guam educational community would find it difficult to know the extent to which it should provide higher education and training for their students to better compete for these potential civilian positions. While efforts have been made to develop degreed programs of study, University of Guam officials estimated that it can take up to 3 years to develop new degree programs and recruit the faculty and then another 4 to 6 years to have students complete the undergraduate or graduate courses of study. DOD Directive 5410.12 requires the military departments to provide maximum advanced information and support to local governments impacted by DOD basing and personnel actions to allow planning for necessary adjustments in workforce training programs. Without DOD's clarification of the types and numbers of needed positions, Guam university officials say they are at risk of developing programs that might not be large enough or focused on the right courses of study to effectively produce graduates in the fields that DOD and other potential employers would require.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The DoD Civilian Personnel Management Service began working with the Department of Navy on this issue and took a number of actions, during fiscal year 2010, that met the intent of our recommendation to establish requirements and share the information to the Guam community. Some of those actions include the following. The United States Marine Corps hired two Executive Service members, one at Headquarters Marine Corps and the other at Marine Forces Pacific in Hawaii to manage their involvement and relocation to Guam. A Defense Policy Review Initiative Planning Group was established which has developed courses of actions for the number and types of Federal civilian and DOD contractor positions that Guam will require. DOD began preparation of a Human Resources Strategic Workforce plan which will include competency requirements and recruitment initiatives to meet Guam's civilian personnel workforce requirements. And finally, a Pacific Recruitment Campaign was developed in support of hiring in the Pacific Theater which will include a focus on outreach to the community and government of Guam.
Recommendation: To assist the government of Guam to properly train and prepare its future workforce to effectively compete for permanent federal civilian and DOD contractor support positions that will be available once the force has arrived in Guam, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) to develop a process for projecting and sharing updated information describing federal civilian and DOD contractor support positions likely to be available--by specialties when feasible--and to routinely update this information until the buildup is complete.
