The Zion/Bryce part sounds generally ok. Depending on what time you arrive on 8/10 you may have plenty of time to do some exploring at Zion that day.
Canyon overlook trail is no more than a 15-20min walk from the parking area, or you can just ride the shuttle bus up the valley & stop off at a few of the view points.
When you do the Riverwalk trail (paved), I recommend you venture at least a little way up the river. In a very short distance you will quickly get away from the crowds and around a bend or two, and can experience some of the hiking towards the narrows. In August the water level will be low, and while you'll get your feet & shoes wet you wont need any special gear for a short walk.
You can pack a picnic lunch at the small market right at the entrance to the park, where you change from the Springdale shuttle to the Park shuttle. The lawn in front of the Zion Lodge is a great place to stretch out for a picnic under the large cottonwood trees.
Upon arrival at Bryce you may also have some time to take walk partway down the trail to Queens. No need to head straight to your hotel - the evening/sunset hours are quite interesting due to the shadows the hoodoos cast. Be sure to check out evening star gazing programs as well. The night sky at Bryce is great for star gazing and they will have large telescopes out some nights.

Your kids are so lucky to have you taking them to some of the most amazing natural sights in the world!
But I do think it sounds like an even better trip if you eliminate Mt. Rushmore this time. That is a huge outlier and means 4 days of extra driving in your itinerary. Is there another destination that interests you? You could hike slot canyons in Escalante National Monument, check out Canyonlands National Park, try mountain biking in Moab, or go to the Grand Canyon - all of which require much less driving.
Also, where does your trip originate from? Is it possible to actually spend your day in Vegas relaxing at the hotel, and then just swinging by the Hoover Dam on the way home? By seeing it during your Vegas stay, your day loses a lot of relaxation time. I bet by that point in the trip your boys will really just want to hang by the pool...and I bet you will too! Or if you eliminate Mt. Rushmore, you could spend an extra day in Vegas - one for Hoover Dam and one for truly relaxing.
But you know your family best, and if you are fine with that much driving, then I'm sure you will enjoy it. Have a great trip!

Thank you for your advice. We will be driving from Orange County. We have been to Grand Canyon a few years ago. The reason for this trip was my sons want to visit Mount Rushmore so I decided to plan a two weeks road trip visiting several famous national parks. We probably will skip Death Valley for another time and just relax at the hotel then head home.
The suggestion of hiking up the Narrows for a couple of miles and a picnic lunch sounds like a great idea. We will definitely do that and also the evening star gazing as well.
Report Abuse
I would highly recommend www.deserthighlights.com for something "extra" to do in Moab. I've been with them twice and they are very safe and fantastic.
I would also not miss Goblin Valley State Park while in that area of Utah.
I think you will have a lot of extra time on Aug 18. Jewel want take that long to do.
On the 19th I would be tempted to just drive all the way on to Moab and that way you would have full extra day there.
You can buy a National Park Pass (which is good to all National Parks for 1 year)for $80. Buy that at your first entrance point to national park(it will not be good for Crazy Horse or Custer State) This will save you some $$$

I don't think you will enjoy staying in Panguitch. Why did you choose it? No openings at Bryce? If you stay at Bryce you can enjoy the park in the evening, see the stars at night (the rangers do a good telescope viewing) and see the canyon at dawn.
If you stay in Panguitch, it's about a hour's drive up to Bryce. It's a really small rural Utah town and I think you will be bored out of your mind even if you are only there overnight.
Keep calling, calling, twice a day for a cancellation at Bryce - either the Natl Park Lodge, Ruby's, or the new hotel there I don't know the name....
Report Abuse
I was glad to read Mt Rushmore is the focus of the trip since that is such a long drive to get there. I bet you'll wish you had another day there. But three days is not bad.
When driving to Moab get off at the Danish Flat exit (#114) from I-70 rather than going all the way to 191. This will take you down the scenic hwy 128 which will be a nice into to the area, past Fisher Towers and along the Colorado river gorge.
Report Abuse
Thank you all for your suggestions.
Spirobulldog - we will follow your great idea on the National Park Pass and purchase one.
Beside visiting Jewel cave, we are planning to add a visit to the Wild Horse Sanctuary on August 18.
Dayle - Bryce is completely book up. I did some research and Panguitch is about 25 miles from Bryce. I think the 30 minutes drive is durable for us. However, I will check to see if there is any cancellation at both the Best Western Hotel/Inn.
InSandy - Thanks for the tip on the scenic hwy 128. We love taking the scenic route when traveling.

On Monday, ESPN's Keith Law ranked the Twins' farm system the second best in baseball, trailing only the Cardinals. On Tuesday, he showed why.
In his annual top 100 prospect list, Law included seven Twins minor leaguers. I haven't seen every list out there but that number of Twins are the most I've seen in a top 100. The Twins super seven are as follows:
11. Miguel Sano, 3B
22. Byron Buxton, OF
41. Kyle Gibson, RHP
49. Aaron Hicks, OF
59. Oswaldo Arcia, OF
61. Alex Meyer, RHP
65. Eddie Rosario, 2B/OF
So not just seven of the top 100, but seven of the top 65. It's another reason why the Twins future looks so promising. And six of the seven players are homegrown, with Meyer joining the organization in an offseason trade in exchange for Denard Span.
Law has scouting reports on every member of his top ten list, but a subscription is required to read them. Here's a link to his list of the top farm systems.

Novell Shows Off Linux Desktop 10
A demonstration of the next release of Novell's Linux for desktops drew cheers and applause Wednesday, although the final version of the software is not expected for some months.
Nat Friedman, the company's vice president of Linux desktop engineering, showed Novell Linux Desktop 10 playing videos and MP3 music files, and exchanging music and photos with an iPod and a digital camera, in a keynote presentation at the Solutions Linux conference and trade show on the outskirts of Paris.
The forthcoming desktop Linux distribution also includes features for business users, such as software for translating Visual Basic macros in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet documents into their equivalent in StarBasic, the macro language used by the open-source OpenOffice.org productivity suite.
For the average home user, existing Linux distributions suffer from one major flaw: they can't play MP3-format music files out of the box. This is because the MP3 encoding system is patented, and the system for licensing the patent is incompatible with the GPL open source license under which Linux is distributed, Friedman says.
To get around that, Novell has developed its own MP3 player software, Banshee, for which it has licensed the patents.

Point Linux 3.2
Point Linux released their newest version, 3.2, in June 2016. Their goal is, "To combine the power of Debian GNU/Linux with the productivity of MATE, the GNOME 2 desktop environment fork. Point Linux provides an easy-to-set-up-and-use distribution for users looking for a fast, stable and predictable desktop." Point Linux aims to use MATE as their primary desktop environment, but also offers Xfce as an option. The Point Linux website is simple and professional. The download page is full of fresh and very nice options that allow the user to download the exact distro they require to fit their needs. Some of the options include 32- or 64-bit, torrent or direct download, and the location of the download server. I found using the website was effortless and the options available cut down on the download time (by giving the option to torrent or the location of the server) and lowered the install time by giving the consumer options before retrieving the whole file. The MATE desktop environment (DE) is available in the standard Debian installation media, but the full Debian installer image is 4.7GB, overwhelmingly large, and has too many DE options to make the disc any smaller. This is the small void that Point Linux fills. They provide the MATE desktop environment (or Xfce) and a significantly smaller live OS / installation media. Even when selecting the full featured desktop from the options on their website, the Point Linux installer is only 1.00GB. The "Desktop with core components" option lowers this installation media size further to 772MB.

Rick Ross - Children's Story (Uncle Ricky)
Posted 8 years ago
Tags: Rick Ross
Jackpot Music
In 1988 Slick Rick released the hit single, Children's Story, off his Def Jam debut, The Great Adventures of Slick Rick. Now 19 years later, minus an eye patch and plus a beard, a different Rick is re-telling the story. Although DJBooth cannot confirm or deny if Children's Story (Uncle Ricky) will be included on Ross' new album, Trilla (set for release on December 26th), the self-proclaimed 'Boss' exhibits plenty in common with his industry counterpart of the same first name. Replace the gold chains with some platinum and Rick Ross' reworked story is as fresh as it is charming.

Radio is the most exciting, involving and powerful promotional medium. Radio's ability to tease, to create dynamic promotional concepts, to build anticipation and generate excitement, to magnetize the audience … the exhilaration radio delivers for both audience and advertisers is unparalleled. Radio has made a comeback in the lifestyles of Indians. Radio has the reputation of being the oldest and the cheapest medium of entertainment in India. The radio industry has been completely reshaped by the various private players that entered the sector after the government allowed foreign investment into the segment and opened the licenses to the private players .The Indian government has already given 338 licenses for FM radio channels in 91 big and small towns and cities. The current size of the radio market is India is Rs 300 crores and is expected to achieve the highest growth rate of 32 per cent in coming years. The quality of the sound and the music has improved significantly with the emergence and use of satellite radio. The audience profile has also shifted to the high-income group. Local advertising, lower amount of money spent by the companies to advertise on radio is an added attractiveness for the players. All India Radio (AIR) - the national service provider owned and operated by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting under the Government of India - is the largest player in the industry. Despite pre-dating commercial television by about 50 Years, radio in India lags behind other media by many a mile in terms of share of the advertising monies – while worldwide radio garners 5-12% of the advertising monies, in India radio manages less than 2%. This is despite. All India Radio having a huge network of 141 medium wave (MW), 54 short wave (SW) and 130 FM transmitters – one of the largest in the world!
Radio is a pervasive medium. The low advertisement costs and extensive reach of radio help advertisers quickly reach and appeal to their target customers. For advertisers targeting small/niche audiences, radio worked out to be much more beneficial. Radio advertising is aptly suited for local promotions, and once audiences can be targeted, it has tremendous potential to eat into local mediums. Reportedly, there are more than 150 million radio sets in India – three times more than the number of TV sets in the country. On the basis of this data, private radio broadcasters claimed that radio had vast potential just waiting to be exploited. They aimed at duplicating the success of satellite television in the radio sector, with the help of latest digital technologies and innovative programming. According to estimates, radio's share in the total advertising budgets of corporates grew to 5% by 2007 as against less than 1% in 2001.

Source (radio mirchi) Thus, radio ad spend grew by an estimated CAGR of 45% between 2002-2007 as compared to an estimated 15% growth for total ad spend. .Industry observers remarked that the greatest challenge before private FM channels was persuading the urban consumer to regard radio as a source of entertainment. To get the attention of the urban consumer, private players started developing programs tailored to meet the tastes of local listeners, with the help of advanced digital technologies and superior programming. As part of these efforts,
private channels conducted intensive research to ascertain the demographic profiles of radio listeners in order to provide more targeted programming. Identification of demographic profiles was also expected to help private players to attract more advertising revenues, as it would enable them to offer advertisers access their target audiences. Radio is a far more intrusive medium compared to television. There is great future for radio. Even worldwide, radio is becoming a very important medium. In the US, some $ 19 billion are spent on radio advertising (India's entire advertising market is worth $ 2.2 billion). Radio has survived and flourished as an advertising medium because it offers advertisers certain advantages for communicating messages to their potential customers. The pervasiveness of this medium has not gone unnoticed by advertisers.

Integrated Marketing Communications (IMC), according to The American Marketing Association, is "a planning process designed to assure that all brand contacts received by a customer or prospect for a product, service, or organization are relevant to that person and consistent over time. Integrated marketing communication can be defined as a holistic approach to promote buying and selling in the digital economy. This concept includes many online and offline marketing channels. Online marketing channels include any emarketing campaigns or programs, from search engine optimization (SEO), pay-per-click, affiliate, email, banner to latest web related channels for webinar, blog, RSS, podcast, and Internet TV. Offline marketing channels are traditional print (newspaper, magazine), mail order, public relations, industry analyst relations billboard, radio, and television. Reasons for the Growing Importance of IMC The move toward integrated marketing communications is one of the most significant marketing developments that occurred during the 1990's and the shift toward this approach is continuing as we begin the new century. The IMC approach to marketing communications planning and strategy is being adopted by both large and small companies and has become popular among firms marketing consumer products and services as well as business-to-business marketers. A fundamental reason is that they understand the value of strategically integrating the various communications functions rather than having them operate autonomously. By coordinating their marketing communications efforts companies can avoid duplication, take advantage of synergy among promotional tools, and develop more efficient and effective marketing communications programs. Advocates of IMC argue that it is one of the easiest ways for a company to maximize the return on it's investment in marketing and promotion. The move to integrated marketing communications also reflects an adaptation by marketers to 9
a changing environment particularly with respect to consumers technology and media. Major changes have occurred among consumers with respect to demographics, life styles , media use , and buying and shopping patterns. In addition to facing the decline in audience size for many media marketers are facing the problem of consumers being less responsive to traditional advertising. They recognize that many consumers are turned off by advertising and tired of being bombarded with sales messages. The integrated marketing communications movements is also being driven by changes in the ways companies market their products and services . Major characteristics of this marketing revolution include . A shifting of marketing dollars from media advertising to other forms of promotion , particularly consumer –and trade –oriented sales promotions . many marketers feel that traditional media advertising has become too expensive and is not cost –effective. Also ,escalating price competition in many markets has resulted in marketers pouring more of their promotional budgets into price promotions rather than media advertising. A movement away from relying on advertising – focused approaches ,which emphasize mass media such as network television and national magazine ,to solve communication problems. Many companies are turning to lower -cost, more targeted communication tools such as event marketing and sponsorships, direct mail , sales promotion , and the internet as they develop their marketing communications strategies. A shift in market place power from manufacturers to retailers. Due to consolidation in the retail industry, small local retailers are being replaced by regional , national , and international chains. These large retailers are using their clout to demand larger promotional fees and allowance from manufacturers, a practice that often siphons money away from advertising. More over ,new technologies such as checkout scanners give retailers information on the effectiveness of manufacturers promotional programs. This is leading many marketers to shift their focus to promotional tools that can produce short-term results. such as sale promotion. The rapid growth and development of database marketing. Many companies are building database containing customer names; geographic, demographic , and psychographic profiles; purchase patterns; media preferences; credit ratings; and other characteristics. Marketers are using this information to target consumers through a variety of direct- marketing methods such as 10
telemarketing , direct mail, and direct- response advertising , rather than relying on mass media. Advocates of the approach argue that database marketing is critical to the development and practice of effective IMC. Demands for greater accountability from advertising agencies and changes in the way agencies are compensated. Many companies are moving towards incentive- based systems whereby compensation of their ad agencies is based , at least in part , on objective measures such as sales , market share , and profitability. Demands for accountability are motivating many agencies to consider a variety of communication tools and less expensive alternatives to mass- media advertising. The rapid growth of the internet, which is changing the very nature of how companies do business and the ways they communicate and interact with consumers. The internet revolution is well under way, and the internet audience is growing rapidly. The internet is an interactive medium that is becoming an integral part of communication strategy, and even business strategy, for many companies. This marketing revolution is affecting everyone involved in the marketing and promotional process. Companies are recognizing that they must change the ways they market and promote their products and services. They can no longer be tied to a specific communication too such as media advertising rather they should use whatever contact methods offer the best way of delivering the message to their target audiences. Ad agencies continue to reposition themselves as offering more than just advertising clients integrated communications needs. Most agencies recognize that their future success depends on their ability to understand all areas of promotion and help their clients develop and implement integrated marketing communications programs. The tools for IMC Promotion has been defined as the coordination of all seller-initiated efforts to set up channels of information and persuasion in order to sell goods and services or promote an idea . while implicit communication occurs through the various elements of the marketing mix, most of an organization's communication with the marketplace take place as part of a carefully planned and controlled promotional program. The basic tools used to accomplish an organization's communication objectives are often referred to as the promotional mix. 11
Traditionally the promotional mix has included four elements: advertising, sales promotion, publicity/public relations, and personal selling. However, in this text we view direct marketing as well as interactive media as major promotional –mix elements that modernday marketers use to communicate with their target markets. Each eletool that plays that plays a distinctive role in an IMC program. Each may take on a variety of forms. And each has certain advantages. Advertising is defined as any paid form of non personal communication about an organization, product, service, or idea by an identified sponsor. The paid aspect of this definition reflects the fact that the space or time for an advertising message generally must be bought. An occasional exception to this is the public service announcements whose advertising space or time is donated by the media. The non personal component means that advertising involves mass media(e.g . radio, magazines, newspapers ) That can transmit a message to large groups of individuals, often at the same time. The nonpersonal nature of advertising means that there is generally no opportunity for immediate feedback from the message recipient .therefore, before the message is sent , the advertiser must consider how the audience will interpret and respond to it. Advertising is the best –known and most widely discussed form of promotion, probably because of its pervasiveness. It is also a very important promotional tool, particularly For companies whose products and services are targeted at mass consumer markets. There are several reasons why advertising is such an important part of many marketer's promotional mixes. First it can be a very cost-effective method for communicating with large audiences. Advertising can be used to create brand images and symbolic appeals for a company or brand , a very important capability for companies selling products and services that are difficult to differentiate on functional attributes. Another advantage of advertising is its ability to strike a responsive chord with consumers when differentiation across other elements of the marketing mix is difficult to achieve. The nature and purpose of advertising differ from one industry to another and/or 12
across situations. The targets of an organization's advertising efforts often vary. As do advertising's role and function in the marketing program. One advertiser may seek to generate immediate response or action from the customer; another may want to develop awareness or a positive image for its products or service over a longer period.
Direct Marketing One of the fastest –growing setters of the U.S economy is direct marketing, in which organizations communicate directly with target customers to generate a response and / or a transaction. Traditionally, direct marketing has not been considered an element of the promotional mix. However, because it has become such an integral part of the IMC program of many organizations and often involves separate objectives, budgets, and strategies, we view direct marketing as a component of the promotional mix. Direct marketing is such more than direct mail and mail order catalogs. It involves a variety of activities, including database management, direct selling, telemarketing, and direct response ads through direct mail, the internet, and various broadcast and print media. One of the major tools of direct marketing is direct response advertising, where by a product is promoted through an ad that encourages the consumer to purchase directly from the manufacturer. Direct-response advertising and other forms of direct marketing have become very popular over the past two decades, owing primarily to changing life styles, particularly the increase in two- income house holds. More recently, the rapid growth of the internet is fueling the growth of direct marketing.
Interactive/Internet Marketing As the millennium begins, we are experiencing perhaps the most dynamic and revolutionary changes of any era in the history of marketing, as well as advertising and promotion. These changes are being driven by advances in technology and developments that have 13
led to dramatic growth of communication through interactive media, particularly the internet. Interactive media allow for a back-and forth flow of information where by users can participate in and modify the form and content of the information they receive in real time. Unlike traditional forms of marketing communications such as advertising , which are one-way in nature, the new media allow users to perform a variety of functions such as receive and alter information and image, make inquiries, respond to questions, and, of course, make purchases. While the Internet is changing the ways companies design and implement their entire business and marketing strategies, it is also affecting their marketing communications programs. Perhaps the most prevalent perspective on the Internet is that it is an advertising medium, as many marketers advertise their products and services on the websites of other companies and/or organizations. Actually, the Internet is a medium that can be used to execute all the elements of the promotional mix. In addition to advertising on the Web , marketers offer sales promotion incentives such as coupons, contests, and sweepstakes online, and they use the Internet to conduct direct marketing, personal selling, and public relations activities more effectively and efficiently. While the Internet is a promotional medium, it can also be viewed as a marketing communications tool in its own right. Because of its interactive nature, it is a very effective way of communicating with customers. Many companies recognize the advantages of communicating via the Internet and are developing Web strategies and hiring interactive agencies specifically to develop their websites and make them part of their integrated marketing communications program. However, companies that are using the Internet effectively are integrating their Web strategies with other aspects of their IMC programs. Sales Promotion The next variable in the promotional mix is sales promotion, which is generally defined as those marketing activities that provide extra value or the ultimate consumer and can stimulate immediate sales. Sales promotion is generally broken into two major categories: consumer-oriented and trade-oriented activities. Publicity/Public Relations
Publicity refers to non-personal communications regarding an organization, product, service, or idea not directly paid for or run under identified sponsorship. It usually comes in the form of a news story, editorial, or announcement about an organization and/or its products and services. Like advertising, publicity involves nonpersonal communication to a mass audience, but unlike advertising, publicity involves non-personal communication to a mass audience, for by the company. The company or organization attempts to get the media to cover or run a favorable story on a product, service, cause, or event to affect awareness, knowledge, opinions, and\or behavior. Techniques used to gain publicity include news release, Press conferences, feature articles, photographs, films, and videotapes. An advantage of publicity over other forms of promotion is its credibility. Consumers generally tend to be less skeptical toward favorable information about a product or service when it comes from a source they perceive as unbiased. Another advantage of publicity is its low cost, since the company is not paying time or space in a mass medium such as TV, radio ,or newspapers. Public Relations it is important to recognize the distinction between publicity and public relations. When an organization systematically plans and distributes information in an attempt to control and manage its image and the nature of the publicity it receives, it is really engaging in a function known as public relations. Public relations is defined as "the management function which evaluates public attitudes, identifies the policies and procedures of an individual or organization with the public interest, and executes a program of action to earn public understand and acceptance. Public relations generally has a broader objective than publicity, as its purpose is to establish and maintain a positive image of the company among its various, publics. Public relations uses publicity and variety of other tools-including special publications , participation in community activities, fund-raising, sponsorship of special events, and various public affairs activities-to enhance an organization's image. Personal Selling The final element of an organization's promotional mix is personal selling, person-to-person communication in which a seller attempts to assist and/or persuade prospective buyers to purchase the company's product or service or to act on an idea. Unlike advertising, personal selling involves direct contact between buyer and seller, either face-to-face or through some form of telecommunications such as 15
telephone sales. This interaction gives the marketer communication flexibility; the seller can see or hear the potential buyer's reactions and modify the message accordingly. The personal, individualized communication in personal selling allows the seller to tailor the message to the customer's specific needs or situation. Personal selling also involves more immediate and precise feedback because the impact of the sales presentation van generally be assessed from the customer's reactions
Radio has many advantages over other media – • Cost and Efficiency - One of the main strengths of radio as an advertising medium is its low cost .Radio commercials are very inexpensive to produce. They require only a script of the commercial to be read by the radio announcer or a copy of a prerecorded message that can be broadcast by the station. The cost for radio time is also low .The low relative costs of radio make it one most efficient of all advertising media ,and the low absolute cost means the budget needed for an effective radio campaign is often lower than that for other media. The low cost of radio means advertisers can build more reach and frequency into their media schedule within a certain budget. They can use different stations to broaden the reach of their messages and multiple spots to ensure adequate frequency. Selectivity – Another major advantage of radio is the high degree of audience selectivity available through the various program formats and geographic coverage of the numerous stations. Radio lets companies focus their advertising on specialized audiences such as certain demographic and lifestyle groups. Most areas have radio stations with formats such as adult contemporary, easy listening , classical music, country news/talk shows to name a few. Radio can reach consumers other media can't .Radio has become a popular way to reach specific nonEnglish speaking ethnic markets .As mass marketing gives way to market to market segmentation and regional marketing, radio will continue to grow in importance. Flexibility – Radio is probably the most flexible of all the advertising media because it has a very short closing period, which means advertisers can
change their message almost up to the time it goes on the air. Radio commercials can usually be produced and scheduled on very short notice .Radio advertisers can easily adjust their messages to local market conditions and marketing situations. • Mental imageryA Potential advantage of radio that is often overlooked is that it encourages listeners to use their imagination when processing a commercial message. While the creative options of radio are limited, many advertisers take advantage of the absence of a visual element to let consumers create their own picture of what is happening in a radio message. Radio may also reinforce television messages through 'image transfer '. Integrated Marketing Opportunities – Radio provides marketers with a variety of integrated marketing opportunities. Radio stations become an integral part of many communities, and the deejays and program hosts may become popular figures. Advertisers often use radio stations and personalities to enhance their involvement with a local market and to gain influence with local retailers .Radio also works very effectively in conjunction with place-based /point of purchase promotions. Retailers often use on-site radio broadcasts combined with special sales or promotions to attract consumers to their stores and get them to make a purchase. Live radio broadcasts are also used in conjunction with event marketing.
Several factors limit the effectiveness of radio as an advertising medium, among them creative limitations, fragmentation, chaotic buying procedures, limited research data, limited listener attention and clutter. The media planner must consider them in determining the role the medium will play in the advertising program. • Creative Limitations - A major drawback of radio as an advertising medium is the absence of a visual image. The radio advertiser cannot show the product, demonstrate it, or use any type of visual appeal or information. Because of these creative limitations many companies tend to ignore radio , and agencies often assign junior people to the development of radio commercials.
Fragmentation – Another problem with radio is the high level of audience fragmentation due to the large number of stations. The percentage of the market tuned to any particular station is usually very small. Advertisers that want a broad reach in their radio advertising media schedule have to buy time on a number of stations to cover even a local market. Chaotic Buying Procedures – It should be readily apparent how chaotic the media planning and purchasing process can become for the advertiser that wants to use radio on a nationwide spot basis. This problem has diminished somewhat in recent years as the number of radio networks and of syndicated programs offering a package of several hundred stations increases. Limited Research Data – Audience research data on radio are often limited, particularly compared with TV, magazines, or newspapers .Most radio stations are small operations and lack the revenue to support detailed studies of their audiences. And most users of radio are local companies that cannot support research on radio listnership in their markets. Thus, media planners do not have as much audience information available to guide them in their purchase of radio time as they do with other media. Limited Listener Attention –Another problem that plagues radio is that it is difficult to retain listener attention to commercials. Radio programming, particularly music, is often the background to some other activity and may not receive the listeners' full attention. Thus they may miss all or some of the commercials. Clutter – Clutter is just a problem with radio as with other advertising media .Advertisers must create commercials that break through the clutter or use heavy repetition to make sure their messages reach consumers.

Rita Ora's Real-Life My Little Pony Mane
Rita Ora is no stranger to bold hair. The singer has worn everything from a short, blonde bob to long, Crayola-inspired braids. So, we weren't shocked to see her at Berlin Fashion Week taking part in the purple-hair craze that's been sweeping the nation.
But, what did surprise us was that, instead of diving headfirst into the trend, she opted for a more subtle, My Little Pony-esque dip dye. It's not exactly Nicole Richie hair, but that's why we like it — it's different. While the turquoise-and-purple fade is definitely unexpected, it's actually a little tame compared to her other daredevil looks. Speaking of which, we're still waiting on those purple eyebrows, Rita. They'd complement this new look beautifully.

Re: HVL-F20AM as a trigger without firing
In reply to sodarocks • Jun 22, 2013
In an enclosed area, it's usually enough to just have the HVL-F20AM aimed at the ceiling. It will still trigger the off-camera flash, but provide little more than ambient light itself!

What About Bob?
If Jim Morrison has some kids walking around out there, I can't imagine that they'd get together for a concert and cover some of their father's tunes. Nor could I imagine a couple of Junior Jimmy Hendrixes, Janis Joplins, Elvis Presleys or Tupac Shakurs paying tribute to their parents.
Out of all the pop icons who've come and gone prematurely, Bob Marley was the only one who knew that the true path to immortality lay in spreading his seed around.
And two of those seeds brought Tuff Gong's legacy to Boulder Friday night. The show was billed as Stephen Marley, featuring Damian. Both boys were born into a life of music and both brought elements inherited by their father to the stage.
Stephen was up first, mostly playing tracks off his new album Mind Control, but also dipping into some of Dad's cuts like "Burning and Looting."

Stephen may have inherited his father's political consciousness, but it's Damian that inherited Bob's energy, hopping from one side of the stage to the other, always bouncing on two feet. The Boulder Theater was about to boil over in anticipation by the time the two Marley's finally let loose on Damian's smash single, "Welcome To Jamrock." And for an encore, they brought it back to Bob with "Exodus."
While far too many of us fans never got to see Bob Marley live, we should all consider ourselves lucky that so many women wanted to have his children.

When I waited for it, I thought it would be something with a similar feel to my current iPad stand, but what I received was something else entirely. It was surprisingly heavy, for starters, weighing in at 196 grams, it's no lightweight and flimsy stand. The two front legs move apart with enough friction that they would be easy to keep securely at any angle, something important if, like me, you would occasionally need to place an iPad mini vertically.
It can both be upright or low down, like a typical keyboard's angle, and with its solid construction, it would be suitable for all tablets as well as small laptops that could also benefit from being lifted off the table a bit, improving cooling and airflow around the computer significantly, as well as making a better angle for typing.
It also comes with a nice drawstring bag to fit it into, which is handy. It also makes it less likely that this solid chunk of aluminium would scratch something it rubbed against.
If you are fed up with flimsy tablet stands, this might just be the one to get. The only feature missing is a freely adjustable angle, but otherwise, it is simply a perfect and well-engineered piece of kit.
I really liked the fact it came with a pouch to but the foldable easel away for safe storing, plus the easel had silicone rubber feet protectors so doesn't scratch table surfaces or your tablet either.
A really useful gadget to have, I would definitely recommend getting one!
I came across this stand 'by accident', and thought it looked like what I was looking for.
It arrived quickly, and well packaged, in a small box, inside a mailing bag.
At first glance, I thought it was going to be too small, but how wrong I was! It's strong, and sturdy, and 'locks' into place, by pressing a button on the edge of the 'hinge'. There's a removable 'insert' where the tablet/phone stands, so that if your tablet/phone has a covee, you don't have to remove the cover for it to fit - just 'pop' out the insert.
I'm very pleased with this little stand, and I'd highly recommend it.
Just to add - it comes in a choice of black or white :D
The box contained:
Ibra Universal Tablet Stand
Black carrying pouch
This stand is designed in a silver metal material and looks and feels extremely robust and durable. This Ibra stand consists of three adjustable legs, each leg has a protective pad at the base to enable the stand to be placed in a secure position which is unlikely to topple, slip or fall. Another point worth noting is that the area that holds the mobile device is rubberised to protect your device from scratching or any other damage. This Ibra stand measure 18cm in height by 2.5cm in width (when folded).
The stand itself can be used in two different positions (vertical and horizontal) for comfortable viewing and typing.
This stand is perfect in supporting my Kindle Fire HDX and holding it securely when I am reading or replying to emails. The stand sits unobtrusively in the far corner of my home office desk until it is needed. I have also used the stand on my kitchen worktop when I am following a recipe that is on my Kindle. The other day I had a dodgy stomach and spent the evening in bed resting, and this is when the Ibra stand certainly came into its own as I placed it on to my bedside table and spent an enjoyable couple of hours watching TV.
Please note: I was kindly sent this product to test and to give my honest opinion in the form of a review

Jon M. Huntsman Sr.: Rich need to give more
Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — If only the rich would share.
That's Jon M. Huntsman Sr.'s solution to the country's economic woes.
He sympathizes with the protestors in New York City who have resolved to "Occupy Wall Street" to draw attention to how corporate greed is squeezing America's middle class, he told the New York Times. But while he agrees the political system is broken and ethics have gone belly up, he believes increased generosity among the nation's wealthiest could "go a long way toward fixings things."
The way Huntsman sees it, the rich should not have to be compelled to give through taxation, as some have suggested. Even Warren E. Buffet's Giving Pledge, which challenges America's richest to give away 50 percent of their wealth, is not generous enough.
"I suggested 80 percent," said the 74-year-old chemicals mogul, who is father to U.S. presidential candidate Jon M. Huntsman, Jr. "A tremendous number of wealthy people haven't given much of anything."
Unlike many billionaire philanthropists, Huntsman has focused the bulk of his giving in the United States. The four-time cancer survivor has poured his money into developing Salt Lake City's Huntsman Cancer Institute, which is celebrating a major expansion this month.
"We'll just keep opening centers until we're the Mayo Clinic of cancer," he said.
Of more than 1,200 living billionaires in the world, Huntsman is one of just 19 who have donated at least $1 billion, according to Forbes Magazine. Last year, he donated so much to the Huntsman Cancer Foundation that he got kicked off the Forbes 400 list. Before he dies, he plans to give away all of it.
His peers need to step it up, Huntsman said.
"It becomes a game to see how much you can accumulate," he said. "Why should someone who has $5 billion only give away $2.5 billion? They can't take it with them."

Rep Calls Jessica Szohr and Ed Westwick Break-Up Rumor 'Has No Merit'
A rep for "Gossip Girl" star Jessica Szohr has dismissed rumors her relationship with co-star Ed Westwick came to an end last week following a post-birthday fall out. The couple's romance has been under scrutiny in recent months, with long running rumors of problems between the pair.
And stories of a split surfaced again following Szohr's recent birthday celebrations in Los Angeles. The actress partied in L.A., while her boyfriend was back home in his native Britain, and subsequent reports suggested Westwick ended the romance in a phone call days later, amid rumors his lover had been flirting with other men at her birthday bash.
A source tells New York Post gossip column PageSix, "Her flirty behavior shocked a lot of their friends, so word quickly got back to Ed, who has been filming in Europe. He immediately ended their relationship on the phone, and Jessica, who denied anything happened, was so distraught that he flew to London last Friday with just the clothes on her back. She's been begging Ed to take her back, but he is deeply hurt."
But a rep for Szohr is adamant the claims aren't true, adding "The story has no merit."
