Was involved in a cancer relay a couple of weeks ago and finally discovered the definition of a cancer survior. You don't have to wait until that magic number 5 year, or even wait for the first 2 year goal marker, just getting through that first discussion with your doctor when you hear the word "cancer" makes you a survivor!! As a 16 month survivor from hearing the words "tonsil cancer"and with 9 1/2 months past the end of treatment just want to say "hang in there, it does get better!" Support research if you have any funds left after treatment, for that is where a lot of our future hope lies. The faith to endure comes from God and your caregivers....and other survivors, too!! So just remember ---YOU ARE A SURVIVOR!!

As a added note, I finally found a great website that has more information than I ever received from my doctors. Look at oralcancerfoundation.org. They have a wonderful support group and up to date information on current research. Pass it on to your doctors and dentists!

Next up in our "Gotta' Be The Beats" series is a cat who's site Wake Your Daughter Up not only was one of the first "blogs" (this was during the time frame when I thought that your only downloading options where Limewire & Soulseek..thank sweet Jesus for "bloggin'!!) that I ever stumbled into, ut I'd also go as far as to say that it's partially responsible for the evolution of "When They Reminisce…". With infinite knowledge of the music we love and tongue in cheek humor, Travis (that's him on the right..sorry Trav, I had to post that pic….Classic!) as we all simply know him by, has captured such a wide audience of loyal readers mostly due to his honest, straightforward writing and archives full of rare and not so rare old school goodies…..but what I really like about Trav is that he transformed WakeYourDaughter up from more than just a nice spot where you can pick up a few albums free of charge, into well…….a spot where you witness the everyday struggle's of a man following his dream and conquering all the obstacles that may deter his progress. From my personal standpoint, I'd say that Trav and I are share not only the same writing skills and humor but most importantly we both cherish the music that has gifted us the soundtrack of our lives….Hip Hop. I've never met any of the blog authors whose sites I check on my daily rounds, but Trav would half to be up there on my list of "bloggers" to meet….from what I've gathered from his heartfelt posts regarding his family life, everyday work and the general state of the music….. he & I would have alot in common and we share some of the same viewpoints. Shit, If I could only get him too like Uncut Raw's "First Toke" and I could begin to see what all the commotion is about with Storm Davis' "Kegstand Poetry". Damn, too bad my wife's sister isn't on the market!!!HaHa! Seriously, no bullshit….Trav's one cool ass MoFo who's really aided in the progress of this site and I was pretty damn honored when he featured a "rookie" as his first pitch in his "Interview With A Blogger" series. So here they are folks Trav's "Top 25 Beats Of All Time"! Next up, well….I've got a few tricks up my sleeve but my list will definitely be last (read: buying myself a little more time to be sure)
Trav's (Wake Your Daughter Up) Top 25 Beats (link up shortly)
From Travis: "As much as Hip Hop is a MC spitting on the microphone, Hip Hop for me has always been about the beats. If the beats suck, its going to have to take a pretty special MC to keep me listening. When Eric asked me to forge some kind of list of my all-time favorite beats, I figured it wouldn't take me longer than a half-hour or an hour tops. I spent four hours compiling a list and agonizing over which songs weren't going to make the final cut. Thanks E, thats four hours of my life I will never get back, haha….
I have some weird tastes when it comes to beats. I don't always go for the traditional soulful sound. I like noise, weird sounds and heavy bass. The noisier, the better. To me, it's creativity that is important. With that said, some of my favorite producers did not make this list. Producers such as the Bomb Squad (although there is a "step child" of them on this list) and J-Zone didn't make the list. No 9th Wonder, Erick Sermon or Frankenstein, all personal favorites of mine did not make the list. Instead there are a few "out of left field" type submissions, people who's names you never hear come up on a "best producer" of all-time debate. Regardless, these are all beats that I get those "goosebumps" when I hear. "
25. ADOR – "Let It All Hang Out Remix" (Pete Rock) – Travis Said: I expected more Pete beats on this list, but this is one of two. Its a killer track with a sax sample that is only second to one other sax sampled beat…and we all know what that is
24. Sadat X – Lump Lump (Buckwild) – I still remember the first I heard this joint, I played it over and over again. It's pretty simple, but the underrated Buckwild sets things off right with the keys that make you nod your heard worse than a "yes man" talking to his boss. The drum track should be taught to all new jacks on how drum tracks should sound like.
23. Xzibit – Paparazzi (Thayod) – Produced by a rather unnoticed west coast producer, Thayod, this track makes me realize just how much I love dope strings in a beat. This was my first introduction to Xzibit, I bought the maxi single before the album dropped and probably played the instrumental version as much as the full track.
22. Nine – Whatcha Want (Rob Lewis) – If a Martian flew down and wanted to know what "jeep music" was, I'd play this track for him. First off, you got a drum track that kicks you upside your head, then you got those lushes, beautiful strings. For the first six months after it came out, I would close my eyes and nod along with the beat and direct the strings with my hands. Made for interesting times driving.
21. Divine Styler – Ain't Sayin' Nothin' (Bilal Bashir) – Time for one of my "non traditional" beats. I'll wait for the head scratching to stop…..Okay, like I said, I like beats with weird ass noises and what is more weird than a beat with a sound that sounds like Prince is getting his nuts pulled off by a long rope attached to a speeding car? I'm pretty sure this beat influenced DJ Muggs back in the day, because the s/t debut Cypress album beats all sound like this. Bilal Bashir was an early west coast producer who I don't think got nearly enough credit with his beats he did for Divine Stylers debut album, Everlast's debut album, or the stuff he did with Justin Warfield.
20. Cunninlynguists – Seasons (RJD2) – I don't understand a lot of the fan boy stuff with certain producers and RJD2 happens be one of those, but damn, he created a classic with this joint. I guess its safe to say that I'm a string guy. Put on some dope strings like this and you have me hooked.
19. Diamond – Hiatus remix (Diamond) – Diamond is a dope producer in his own right and I have a shit load of songs from him I wanted to get on here, but just couldn't do it. More strings, I can just close my eyes and think about floating on the clouds high above the earth….oh shit, did I just type that out?
18. Royal Flush – Worldwide (L.E.S.) – I first heard this joint on a radio show in Salt Lake City of all places. I was blown away by the
beat. Lucky for me, I had the tape recording that night. It's got all the ingredients I want in a beat. A hard drum track, cool strings and some weird ass sounds. That violin loop just makes me want to break out my butcher knife and reenact the famous Hitchcock "Pyscho" scene. Just plain fucking dope.
17. O.C. – It's My World (DJ Premier) – The first of many Primo beats, who is my favorite producer of all-time, as you'll soon see. I almost made a list just for the Primo joints just so it was fair for everyone else and I could get some of my other all-time favorite beats, but that was too much work. I tend to focus on one sound too much sometimes, and the synth sound on here just hooks me everytime…and of course your traditional hard Primo drums helps as well.
16. Brand Nubian – Alladat (Buckwild) – I think this was the first joint that brought Buckwild to my attention. This is a traditional sounding DITC beat. It's just a dusty ass beat that screams DITC. Shit got played more times than Cal Ripken.
15. Above The Law – Murder Rap (Dr. Dre & Laylaw) – More of my noisy ass beats. This track grabbed me immediately. That siren is just ill as fuck then of course throw on some reversed basslines and scratches, shit just sounds like soundtrack for a drive-by. There is some argument on who did the production for this album. Dre is listed along with the group and Laylaw. This doesn't really sound like anything Dre has done, except maybe the drum track.
14. Blahzay Blahzay – Danger (PF Cuttin) – This has to be one of those beats you hear at every concert when the DJ is warming up the crowd. It's just one of those traditional hip hop beats that is easily recognizable. I'm also a fan of using voice as an instrument or a sample on a track, such as this one has.
13. Nas – NY State Of Mind (DJ Premier) – What an excellent way to start off a classic album. This beat is just sick, keys like this are just insane
12. Pharcyde – Runnin' (Jay Dee) – I remember hearing this joint on "Yo!" before the album dropped. We couldn't figure out who did the production. It wasn't Diamond D, who we had heard rumors of him producing tracks for the new Pharcyde joint. It wasn't him. It wasn't J-Swift. I bought the CD when it came out and the first thing I would do with a new CD was read the liner notes. I opened it and saw "Produced by Jay Dee" in the notes. I wasn't even sure who this "Jay Dee" dude was but that key sample is incredible.Threw the CD on in my Jimmy with my "boomin' system" and shit you never heard out of the TV speakers popped up. Those drums? I looked at my friend, who happened to be with me, "Fuck man, those drums are vicious". "Who the fuck is this Jay Dee dude?" I asked him. "I don't know man" he would reply back to me, "but this track is incredible." The bassline was something that had to be heard on a good system, because it had bottom. We just drove around, playing this track over and over again. I miss moments like this.
11. Notorious BIG – Unbelievable (DJ Premier) – One of the things I have always liked about Primo is he brought out the best in the artists he works with. Jeru hasn't done shit since Primo bailed. Nas' best joints have been the Primo joints. Jay sounds incredible over Primo production, shit he even made J-Live's sound somewhat interesting. Biggie was no exception. Just a straight up hip-hop beat with a dope drum track and let the big guy get loose.
10. Camp Lo – Luchini (Ski) – I've always been a Ski fan as well, from his early days with Bizzie Boys, to Original Flavor, to his stuff with Jay and Camp Lo. The dude just has this creative side to him that makes him stand out against other producers. You know a Ski beat (most of the time) when you hear it. The horns make this track and they make it one of those classics in hip hop.
9. Nas – The Message (Trackmasterz) – I have to admit, hip hop isn't really good for conjuring up emotions other than excitement. This beat though, always has had a strong effect on me emotionally, one of somberness. The strings are great and the bassline just serves as an important backbone to the whole thing. Great beat.
8. Public Enemy – Lost At Birth (The Imperial Grand Ministers Of Funk) – I'm sure this will cause a few people to scratch their head to this bonafied "intro" for "Apocalypse 91.." but this shit just gets me pumped. If I was a UFC fighter, this shit would be my entrance music.
7. Notorious BIG – Kick In The Door (DJ Premier) – Biggie and Primo again. This shit has made me kick in many a door.
6. Nas – Nas Is Like (DJ Premier) – Arrgghhhhh…..I hear the intro to this and can't stop nodding my head. Its just a natural reaction, like when someone is going to punch you in your mouth, you automatically try to cover up….its the some with this beat. Then you add the strings and the little swirling key sample behind that and you have pure bliss. Primo is da fucking Gawd!!!
5. Ras Kass – Soul On Ice Remix (Diamond D) – Has one beat ever improved a song as much as this one? The keys and those strings come together to form some old apocalyptic shit that sounds like the end of the world is just seconds away.
4. Gang Starr – Speak Ya Clout (The beat Jeru is on) (DJ Premier) – Yeah, I know, how the fuck can a beat that is only on for one verse make my top 5? This is Primo doing my favorite type of beat, weird ass fucking noises and those drums…they are SICK!!! This should be the theme song for hip hop itself.
3. Pete Rock & CL Smooth – TROY (Pete Rock) – This song is probably responsible for my interest in sample sources. It's possibly one of the greatest samples ever. The listener automatically is swept away on those crazy horns. Amazing stuff.
2. Royce Da 5'9 – Boom (DJ Premier) – The best of all the string beats, this shit is just bananas in my humble little opinion. Once again, Primo brings out the best in an artist as Royce sounds like one of the GOAT's. I was in awe the first time I heard this. I played it over and over and over again.
1. Jeru The Damaja – Come Clean (DJ Premier) – I remember reading about this joint in "The Source" in the "Sure Shot Singles" part and they said it sounded like "Chinese Water Torture". I think thats a perfect description of this beat. Once again some strange sounds that has always inspired wonder and awe in how he created something like this. I heard a story about how he made the sound in this, but I can't remember it, but it was something rather creative.

Grim future for T&T's fish stock
Fishermen in north-west Trinidad are predicting a bleak future for T&T's fish stocks as a result of the oil spill in the Gulf of Paria. Although their fishing grounds are several miles away from the location of the oil spills along the southwestern coastline, the fishermen say soon they too will be affected. Fishermen and vendors at the Cocorite Fishing Centre complained to the Sunday Guardian that the oil spill isn't the only thing affecting the availability of fish. Another source of concern is ongoing seismic surveys.
Moan Ramtali said: "We can't get the fish when the oil is there . . . Since the oil spill it has slowed down. Before that it was a little more. We were holding a 50 to 100 pounds. After that everything stopped. It have nothing again." Ramtali said although he was earning money it was "still kind of slow." He said Government should compensate fishermen since they will be unable to fish for a while. He anticipated that fish prices will increase since less fish is being caught.
Jason Ali, a fish vendor for four years, said there has already been an increase in price of about $10, so that king fish, which used to cost $30 dollars is now going for $40. As a result, customers are buying cheaper fish such as cro cro which sells for approximately $15. "Fishermen are fairly challenged because we have to go far places. Fishermen not getting time to go out and when they go out they only holding two fish, three fish. It really affecting fishermen on the whole. It is really ridiculous," Ali said.
The Cocorite fishermen said although they are not directly affected, the mangroves, which are breeding grounds for fish, have been affected, so that between the seismic survey and the oil spill, it would be a while before stocks are replenished. They warned of a dark future for fish consumers in T&T. At Alcan Bay, Chaguaramas, the story was no different. Fishermen there said king fish might soon cost as much as $100 a pound.
"This oil spill, it will be affecting our feed grounds," said Russell de Peza who has been fishing at Alcan Bay for 15 years. "If a fisherman brought in about ten a day, you are now catching one or two," he said. Affie Duncan, who has been fishing for more than 20 years, said once the beds have been destroyed it will be very difficult to catch fish. She said fishermen who used to earn approximately $60,000 per year will only make $20,000, if so much.
She said whatever little fishermen catch will have to be sold at high prices to earn the money for gas and other bills. "This year customers have to watch out. There aren't any fish in the sea so whatever little we catch we have to sell it expensive to make back because we have bills and expenses like everyone else," she said.

Unidesk is our secret IT weapon, giving an IT staff that wears many hats an easier way to provision and manage hundreds of different apps and desktops, and meet the custom requirements of our students, faculty members, and administrators.
Marlborough, Mass. (PRWEB) January 23, 2012
Unidesk's customer and partner momentum is confirming that desktop layering is the key to overcoming many of the cost, complexity, and user acceptance challenges that have stalled broader Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) adoption. In the company's fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2011, Unidesk added 45 new customers across a wide range of industries, including education, state and local government, and healthcare. The desktop layering leader's strong Q4 performance was assisted by key solution partners BEAR Data Solutions, KIS, NWN, Novosco, and Presidio, as well as new strategic partner Dell, which now offers Unidesk as a validated management option for Dell Desktop Virtualization Solutions (DVS) with both Citrix® XenDesktop® and VMware View™. To better serve its rapidly expanding customer base, Unidesk is kicking off 2012 with enhancements to its virtual desktop management software to further simplify Windows patching, application delivery, and desktop maintenance.
Some of Unidesk's new customers and their solution providers include Coastal Federal Credit Union (Presidio), County of Ventura (Compuwave), Garland Power & Light (Dell), Hartnell College (KIS), ISO New England (Daymark), Lowell General Hospital (Presidio), Mercer University (Presidio), OhioHealth (Mainline), Santa Clara County Office of Education (Dell), Tennessee Tech University (Dell), Tulare County (KIS), and University of California Office of the President (KIS).
Hartnell College of Salinas, Calif. is working with solution provider KIS to implement over 1,000 virtual desktops with Unidesk® and VMware View. According to Matthew Coombs, Hartnell College CIO, Unidesk is the best way to keep VDI simple for his small IT team, satisfy the college's many use cases, and reduce operational costs. "VDI is going to dramatically increase access to critical educational resources for our students and our community. Like many IT organizations, we need to do more with less, so deploying and maintaining desktops and dealing with application variance cannot be someone's full-time job. Unidesk is our secret IT weapon, giving an IT staff that wears many hats an easier way to provision and manage hundreds of different apps and desktops, and meet the custom requirements of our students, faculty members, and administrators."
Desktop administrators looking to further simplify how and when new applications, application updates, and Windows patches are delivered to virtual desktops are receiving a boost this week with a new software release of Unidesk. Maintenance Schedules, a new feature now available in Unidesk 1.5, provides granular control over managing desktop updates so administrators can minimize impact on worker productivity. With Maintenance Schedules, administrators can define the time periods when physical configuration and layer assignment changes are applied to all or a subset of desktops. Desktops can be updated overnight, on weekends, and during other periods when end users are not actively using their desktops. Changes can be applied according to the defined schedules, as soon as possible, at specific times, or at next logoff.
According to Dru Lesnick, Assistant Vice President of Information Systems at Farmers Mutual Hail Insurance in West Des Moines, Iowa, "The new Maintenance Scheduling feature is big. Our Unidesk Layer Builders can update an OS or an application layer during the day, assign it, and not worry that if a user reboots they will have an unexpected wait while the new layers recombine." Added Lesnick, "Our property and casualty application has web and workstation components that require updates every few weeks. Being able to package these ahead of time and then schedule the rollout will make it much easier to coordinate the updates."
Unidesk's new Maintenance Schedules simplify desktops updates for both non-persistent and persistent desktop user cases.
- A university lab with non-persistent virtual desktops can be updated in stages to ensure that a minimum number of desktops are always available 24x7.
- A city government can update its pools of persistent office worker desktops overnight and on weekends when the desktops are not being used, and update persistent police and fire department desktops that may be used around the clock only at log off.
- A manufacturer or healthcare organization with shared, shift worker desktops can schedule updates around staff rotations.
Maintenance Schedules are the latest example of how Unidesk is combining advanced desktop management features with unequalled layering technology to make virtual desktops hosted on VMware vSphere® easier to implement and manage. With Unidesk, enterprises of all sizes finally have a simpler and more complete alternative to the costly and complex stack of profile management, application virtualization, PC configuration, and cloning point tools typically used in VDI.
"The truest measure of success in any market is customer momentum, and we're thankful to our customers and partners for helping establish Unidesk as the management platform for VDI success in 2011," said Don Bulens, Unidesk CEO. "We're proving that Unidesk desktop layering is the best way for IT to provide Windows desktops as a service to their users, get out of the endpoint management business, and prepare for the day when any app is available from any device."
About Unidesk
Unidesk Corporation (http://www.unidesk.com) enables customers to centralize more desktops on data center servers and cost-justify Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI). Unidesk® desktop management software for VDI is the easiest way to create, patch, personalize, and support desktops and deliver applications for organizations implementing hosted virtual desktops on VMware vSphere®.

So you want a Twitter Profile for your business? And maybe a Facebook Page, too. Perhaps you're thinking about doing something on Pinterest. And you keep hearing all this good stuff about Instagram.
So you set all of these up. Done. Finished. Ready. Good to go.
Now what? How do you go about actually engaging your audience?
Well, according to one survey, the best way to energise your social media community is via a contest. 40 percent of respondents to a Shortstack poll cited this as the top way to engage users, with photo, sweepstakes and video contests being the preferred strategies. Amazingly, 38 percent of respondents had never tried a contest on their social media outposts, with photos, topics, custom apps and videos each listed as alternatively good ways to drive engagement.

FLOWERY BRANCH - Rod Coleman always seems to attract plenty of attention. On the field, that's a good thing. Off the field, he would prefer to be a little more anonymous.

Coleman is one of the cornerstones of the Atlanta Falcons' defense, a 285-pound tackle who's so dominant on the inside that he usually requires two or three blockers just to keep him occupied.
"He's a huge difference to us," coach Jim Mora said, comparing Coleman to Warren Sapp. "Hopefully, if he plays the way he did last year ... he'll get the credit he deserves nationally."
Away from football, Coleman needs to do a better job staying out of the news.
He missed three games last season for knee and shoulder injuries suffered in a late-night car wreck. Coleman said he swerved to avoid hitting a deer and flipped his luxury SUV, though he and the team were suspiciously vague about the details.
Coleman was not charged. A sheriff's officer said the player had been drinking but passed a series of field sobriety tests and did not appear drunk.
Last month, Coleman was arrested for misdemeanor disorderly conduct during another late-night traffic incident. This time, he was riding in an SUV that was pulled over for speeding, and police said he turned irate during a dispute over whether the vehicle had valid insurance.
"Do you know who I am? I play for the Falcons," Coleman shouted at the officer, according to the police report, leading to a three-hour stint in jail.
Coleman said he is frustrated that fans want him to act like a normal guy, but rush to judgment when trouble happens. As for the specifics of his arrest, he would only say, "I've got my legal people handling it"
Defensive line coach Bill Johnson isn't sure if the incident will harm Coleman's reputation.
"He's not arguing the fact that he was wrong," Johnson said. "This was just a bad decision. It's one of those things where you wish he'd count to 10 before he opened his mouth."
Despite missing those three games, he still managed to make 111/2 sacks last season, second only to Minnesota's Kevin Williams among interior linemen.
Coleman's impact is felt on two fronts. When he's tying up several blockers, ends Patrick Kerney and Brady Smith usually have only one man to beat. Or, if the Falcons confuse the line with a stunt or a blitz, Coleman is left with a one-on-one matchup that he almost always wins.
Coleman's impact is best epitomized by these numbers: The Falcons had 47 sacks in the 13 games he played, only one during his three-game absence.

Chicken Teriyaki Slow Cooker Recipe
This recipe for Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken is so easy I am almost embarrassed to share it with you. Whenever I make it though, I am always asked for the recipe, so I figured I would just let the whole world know how easy it really is. It only requires three ingredients, so not only is it quick and easy – but that also makes it frugal.
The trick to this recipe (in my humble opinion) is that you MUST use the brand of Teriyaki Sauce and Sticky Rice I have included in the recipe for the best result for this slow cooker chicken teriyaki. If you use the same brands we mention below then it will taste as good as any take-out Teriyaki Chicken (and no, neither of the brands have sponsored this post, nor have any idea I am writing it – that is just my honest opinion).
The brand of Teriyaki Sauce I use is Yoshidas Original Teriyaki Sauce. You can get a decent price on Amazon, but they also sell it in many local grocery stores (I have seen it in Safeway and Costco to name two).
The rice is Niko Niko Calrouse Rice (you have to buy in bulk on Amazon to make it a good price, but you can find more details on the rice here if interested). They sell it in most grocery stores, and its easy to make. If you have not cooked with it before its different then long grain rice in that the finished product has a much more "sticky" texture to it, like take-out Teriyaki!
Slow Cooker Teriyaki Chicken – 3 Ingredients & So Easy!
- Boneless Chicken Breasts (I use one chicken breast per person)
- Yoshidas Teriyaki Sauce
- Niko Niko Calrose Rice
- I start by pounding out my chicken breasts to make them a little thinner. You can skip this step if you don't mind your chicken being meatier.
- Simply layer your chicken breasts in the bottom of your crock pot (salt and pepper lightly if you want)
- Cover the chicken with the Yoshidas Teriyaki Sauce so that all of your chicken is saturate in the sauce.
- Mix it around slightly, so the sauce gets under the chicken too
- Set your crockpot for whatever cycle is most convenient for you and walk away
- About 30 minutes before dinner make the Nikkos sticky rice per instructions on the package
- Remove the chicken breasts onto a cutting board and slice into strips
- Serve over rice with a little extra sauce (I use the sauce it cooked in, but you can warm up some from the Yoshida bottle if you prefer)
You can make this teriyaki chicken slow cooker recipe in a frying pan too (and then its not a slow cooker recipe,but will still be very tasty). It will only take you about 30 minutes if you cook it up over the stove. Or throw it on the grill after marinating in the sauce to get the grill marks. You can use it for a stir fry too, here are some ideas on vegetable you can dice up and add if you are cooking in a wok or frying pan (cook your chicken through, and then add vegetables at the end):
- Carrots
- Onions
- Peas
- Bean Sprouts
- Bell Peppers
- Broccoli

Hi Maangchi,
I'm a super Korean Fan!!! I love every bit of Korea..the culture, the food, the scenary, the ppl, and best the Korean drama!! I'm also learning how to speak and write Korean too!
I'm wonder if you could teach us how to cook the "Imperial Hot Pot"? (Sorry I don't know the exact name for this dish). It was served to the Emperor during ancient time there there's lots of ingredients in a pot with soup (like a steamboat).
Yum i know exactly what youre talking about, its called shin sul lo but i dont have a good recipe for it..

A customer journey map is a visual representation of the ways in which a customer interacts with a company, a product, or service. Customer journey maps can be used in the following ways:
- To create internal alignment and awareness of customer interactions and key moments of truth.
- Companies use journey maps to pinpoint opportunities for improvement and areas of competitive differentiation.
- Journey maps are used to form initial hypotheses that can be tested using more formalized customer survey research. It is an excellent starting place for companies looking to create or re-engineer their customer strategies.
- Companies use the journey map to engage customers in a conversation about their experiences and any unmet needs.
- As the customer journey map gets traction, it is used as a living framework for sharing customer survey research results, changes in what customers want, and progress on key customer initiatives.

Since 1963, Kyoshos first year of production, the company has continuously provided this hobby with R/C cars, and later, planes, helicopters, boats and robots. They have been innovators in molding, die-casting and manufacturing for nearly 50 years. I have personally known and flown or raced their products for about thirty of those years.
Check out the Kyosho.com website to see the scope of their product line.
I am excited to see Hobby Lobby is now distributing this lineup. It's the coupling of a great company, with a great product.
The aiRium Cessna 182 Skylane is a three channel high-wing airplane with elevator, rudder and throttle control in 1:14 scale. The wing is made of Styrene and the fuselage is foam. The transmitter provided has a dual rate switch moving from 100% to 70% with a quick flip of the switch. The nose wheel is steerable and both the nose wheel and the rudder come channeled to channel 1 or the aileron channel. The Skylane is available in red and blue and comes in a plug and play version allowing you to use your own electronics.
This is a tidy little package. It comes with a carry handle ready to take to your local park or flying field. Components are nestled into foam compartments. With the exception of removing the wing struts, the Cessna 182 Skylane, easy packs up for transport. This is a 2.4 GHz system fully ready to fly with everything you need in one box.
Kit includes:
Kit Requires:
The packaging is good with bubble wrap here and there to ensure you get the product in one piece.
This is, for all practical purposes, an RTF. Other than adding the wing, struts and landing gear, the work is done for you. I would say that it takes maybe an hour to get up and ready to fly. The control horns are pre-installed, too. The instruction manual is written in five languages and is as detailed as one can get. Pictures, schematics and text are all provided.
The wing is a very simple attachment idea that avoids the use of wing bolts and exterior rubber bands. Inside the fuselage is a hook. A small O-ring is provided that attaches to the underside attachment point on the wing. Using a small bent wire tool (provided), you reach up through the bottom of the fuselage and hook the O-ring inside the fuselage. A forward mounting pin centers the wing and once the O-ring is attached the wing settles into the saddle very well.
Don't let the pictures on the website fool you; they show the rubber bands crossing over the wing. This version uses the unexposed O-ring attachment that is very solid.
The tail is completely installed, but I would recommend taking the linkages off and exercising the hinges. This will make the servos work easier and give you more movement when you want to switch to a high rate.
Everything is installed using a 2.4 GHz system, and mine came bound. The transmitter uses slider trims and includes a dual rate switch on the front. The sticks felt fine, and because the system cam bound, I had no problem using the transmitter. I never lost the bind, and the ESC always armed as it should. The right aileron stick is set-up to control flight direction, but for some this may require you to move this to channel 3 using the rudder stick on the left. Configure as best suits your needs, but I would say for a beginner pilot I would definitely make the switch to channel 3. As an experienced pilot, you have to be careful , to avoid over controlling the rudder. While those of us that fly a lot know we can throw in full aileron with little chance of a stall, generally speaking to do the same with the rudder is s recipe for a stall-spin.
The proprietary KT-21 transmitter has a few limitations. \Kyosho indicates no more than 15 planes flying in the vicinity on 2.4 GHz, and the range is 150M over land and 200M in the air. As with most 2.4 GHz transmitters they recommend the antennae be angled 90 degrees.
Binding uses a bind plug. Simply install the bind plug into the identified channel, power the Rx through your ESC and then turn on the Tx while pressing the bind button on the Tx. The green light will indicate the bind is successful.
Final preparation for flight requires the installation of the landing gear and wing struts. Both the wing struts and the main gear have fairing silhouettes. The main gear fairing snaps in place.
The Cessna 182 has plenty of power. The AF 400 BLS B/07/15 brushless motor will get you into the air and move you around with ease. The plane is small, so assuming scale-like performance would be an odd statement. It does fly smoothly and control is exceptional. The color scheme is beautiful right down to the wheel pants. The range of the 2.4 GHz radio system far exceeds your ability to see the little Cessna.
The Cessna is advertised as a beginner to intermediate flight capable aircraft. In the air with normal control inputs the Cessna 182 Skylane performs like a pussy cat. At half throttle it flies level and will turn easily, loop (more throttle) and can even roll. So once off the ground, with gentle inputs, the plane flies as one would expect.
But, if you slow down a bit and forgot you are turning with your rudder the plane will snap over very quickly. I got low and slow and flying as if I was only controlling the ailerons and I snapped it right over. I was in tall grass so I had no damage, but this is where we have to determine how we will fly the plane.
As a beginner setup the plane let the left stick fly the rudder. This is good practice and with some help you will soon learn to fly the pattern and then some. When proficient, switch to the aileron channel. For those of you flying with some skills just use caution if you have the rudder setup on channel 1. The rudder is just not a good tool for getting yourself out of trouble.
I found several batteries that fit into the compartment ranging from 450 to 750 mAh. The flight times were excellent with ten minutes of flight coming pretty easy. Throttle management is more scalelike as you will not want to just firewall it all the time. Enjoy the pretty plane as it passes by.
The Cessna really needs a smooth surface to operate both landing and takeoffs. Hand launching is easy, but landing requires something smooth. If you do mostly hand launch, remove the main gear and the nose gear.
The takeoff roll is not that easy to control, and the torque moves the plane right, because it is so light. One might assume the torque would cause it to turn left. Such a light plane with pretty quick controls is hard to keep straight. If you fly from a parking lot, no problem, but you will have a little learning curve on the runway. Just be gentle on the throttle and rudder inputs.
The landings are predictable and the glide slope to the runway is really very good. Keep the nose up and land on the mains and very gently let the nose down. This is very difficult to do in a small plane, especially for a beginner, and still not so easy for an intermediate pilot. I had problems on my runway with the plane nosing over as I landed. I tried over and over and still ended up with the same results. I think on a smooth surface this is not as much of a problem. Overall, I thought the best flying was with a hand launch and with the wheels removed.
I thought the plane was smooth with power. It will loop and roll and can fly inverted. The power curve is excellent. This is not really intended to be an aerobatic plane.
If you are a beginner, hand launch and keep some power on and you will enjoy the planes flight characteristics. If you have some experience you too will like the flying the little plane and learning the takeoffs and landings. The dual rates are fun to work with and give you some more aerobatic movement.
Kyosho has produced a great little Cessna 182 Skylane. I would say most of you will like flying the plane and will respect what it is capable of doing both on the positive and negative sides of the flight envelope. I think the looks are outstanding, but the functionality requires a mating to the correct runway surface. Frankly, I was surprised I was not able to control the noseovers on my limestone runway. I was also surprised I could induce a snap roll so quickly. I was frustrated with myself, but have to wonder if I fly pretty good how will others respond in the same situation. One just has to be aware.
As a final suggestion, one can also reduce the throw of the rudder through the linkages. You really do not need much to fly the Cessna so set the throw as low as you think you can go as you always have the dual rate switch to increase the movement when you need it.

Great review.
Thanks very much for posting the stats on the plane in both imperial and metric - saves us in the rest of the world having to convert all the time!
Thank you for a nice and honest review of a very cute little model. The 182 has always been a favorite of mine, and one in this size is "almost" irresistible... cool:
In checking pics 15. 25. and 27 show that the wing retainer access opening to be free of dings. It appears that installing the wing hold down O ring might be a bit more of a chore to attach to the fuselage's hook than it should be. The pix I have taken from the many you have posted on this review and attached below shows damage to the bottom fuselage opening that might have been caused by the O ring installation tool.
A model this size would, in all likelihood, nose over in surfaces that are less than extremely smooth. It also appears from the photos provided on its box, that the entire model when viewed from the side, is not parallel to whatever surface it may be placed on. Its nose is considerably lower than the tail, perhaps this would add to the tendency for it to nose over in less than ideal surfaces. Is the nose gear height adjustable, or is it of fixed height?
Been thinking about it since I first saw it @ H/L's website; given your honesty regarding its responsiveness to commands, I wish it was available as an RXR model as well. Too bad it is not.
Good question. The hook goes in to grab the o-ring. The o-ring sort of snaps into the wing keeper so it holds it in place until the hook can reach in to grab it. I did not experience any problems making the hookup, so the picture is not showing damage from that process. The nose overs are a combination of the very small wheel exposure under the wheel pant which I think is pretty tight and the fact the plane is very, very light. That small a plane is hard to grease in. On a smooth surface it is fine. But I mean smooth. There is some adjustment of the nose strut, but not much.
I thought they did have a receiver ready version.
I should have been more specific regarding the damage done by the O ring installation tool. Perhaps the pixs below, taken from the review would make my point a bit clearer. The last one shows considerable amount of "dinging" that is not shown on any of the prior to wing installation photos, which I believe was caused by the O ring installation tool when assembling the plane before flight.
I also wonder how is the hook supported within the fuselage. I'd be afraid that in time it may come loose after installing and removing the wing a given amount of time, or that under tension from the O ring pulling the wing against the fuselage it may come off its mooring in flight.
Thanks for the prompt reply Dave. I had assumed the fuselage's O ring retainer was something glued and or screwed into the foam.
I think I may be ordering the PNP version since I have extra AR6110 receivers and have no need for an extra radio. Hopefully the 6110 will fit in the receiver opening.
I think the O-Ring for the wing is the same as the P-40 setup-----limited access but it comes with a neat tool to install it...pretty easy in my opinion. Ive had the P-40 for over a year now with no issues....still looks and flys like new. I plan on ordering this cessna today! Looks like a great plane.
" I had problems on my runway with the plane nosing over as I landed. I tried over and over and still ended up with the same results. I think on a smooth surface this is not as much of a problem. Overall, I thought the best flying was with a hand launch and with the wheels removed."
You must have meant to say that the wheel pants should be removed, and leave the wheels on.
I have no clue as to what's happening at Hobby Lobby. I have tried to get this model, and in all its incarnations, be it RTF or PNP the page lists it as discontinued. Even the link provided in this review takes me to the same "discontinued model".
Status: Discontinued
Product#: KYO932RSB
Was: $269.99
Status: Discontinued
Product#: KYO932RBR
Was: $206.99
They also show other "similar" models that use a wire type landing gear, but are listed as discontinued as well. All show this plane with what appears to be a 72MHz transmitter.
I did a search using the description given here: "Kyosho aiRium Cessna 182 RTF" (http://search2.hobby-lobby.com/psear...ode=any&page=1) and come with 16 pages of everything and the discontinued planes listed above, all of them listed as DISCONTINUED.
I have just about given up on Hobby Lobby a few months back. I have a notion I will not bother with them anymore since they are not the company they once were. Their web page is nightmarish to navigate since they decided to "improve it" a couple of years back. Even friends of mine who live in their immediate vicinity (within a 30 minute drive of their shop) tell me the same thing.
Hey guys,
Wanted to explain a little bit about what's going on here. We went with the Kyosho planes because we were able to offer them at price points that have never been available before. These simply didn't sell well enough to continue stocking. Quite frankly, we need the warehouse space for products that people are going to purchase. So we move these out a great discount and make room for other stuff. Any Kyosho planes that sell at a reasonable rate, we will continue to offer and support.
Side note about a previous comment. We're real people here guys trying to run a business and support our customers as best we can. I think our website is awesome right now. If you haven't looked at it in the last few months, it's completely different than the 1st time we "improved" it. Yes that was a hard transition and yes the navigation was terrible, but we had to move forward with technology that benefits everyone. We're still tweaking it and always will be, but the navigation right now is awesome. It's so easy to find what your looking for. We're improving, but at the same time, we haven't changed our commitment to our customers and our service. We want to earn your business and I feel we're in a good place to do that right now. ok, off of soap box I go....

In this series of talks, best-selling author and leading expert on depression Professor Paul Gilbert explores how depression affects us in different ways and offers insights into strategies that can help us cope and lift depression.

"Let you "kind self" write you a letter"
First, the book is by a British author and an American author might be unfamiliar with some terms like General Practitioner. Not a big deal and I don't think it will get in the way of understanding it.
I don't see that this book does much in the way of helping a depressed person because I doubt they will follow much of its advice. Can you see yourself getting in touch with your "kind self" and writing yourself a reassuring letter to be read when you are depressed?
My recommendation is to get a longer book and more comprehensive book than these overpriced, short "talks".
The narrator is the author and does about as good a job as most authors... poorly. He stumbles over his own writing at times! He tried to talk in a very soothing tone. There are a couple of times where he will be talking about doing something for 30 seconds as a relaxation technique and there will be a 30 second break in the narration.
"Good guide"
Practical life experience
Compassionate mind
Curse of the strong
Slightly monotonous narrating
Good book
It could do with better narrating- Rupert Farley was better
"A good companion to the book"
Some helpful tips and advice but everything is covered in the book really. None the less, something here could help you with your depression, it's about finding your own combination of what works for you.
The book- if your in deep depression the book itself is a an awful lot to take in, not even a quarter the way through it I ended up with notes everywhere and stressing myself out even more. That's not to say it's bad, it's got all the right ideas but was overwhelming.
"lots of good ideas"
lots of good ideas concentrates on the buddhist practice of mindfulness. Have read it once but probably worth a re listen have the book in print and on audio

This was kind of brought up in another thread...
So, I just moved to the great garden state this past fall.
So, who can shed some light on the beach badges. Are they different for every town as far as how much and at what time of day you need them?
Like, if I roll up for the dawn patrol, there is no way someone is checking for badges that early right?
Having surfed many coasts around the country and internationally, it is unfamiliar concept to have to pay to get on the beach.

checkers usually start at 9 or 10 depending on the beach, and they leave at 4 or 5, depending on weather too.
every town has a different beach badge. you can't use a badge for avon in belmar or vice versa.
monmouth beach they dont charge bc theres no parking - that and the taxes are through the roof. theres no lifeguards or checkers in deal either, but theres sh!t ton of people, and trash everywhere. and the sand is effin hot
there is sort of an unspoken law that towns can charge people to use the beaches bc they employ people to keep them clean and save peoples lives, but they can't charge people to use the water. this is obviously up for discussion with a badge checker that wants to be a d!ck at the time

Yea paying is the worst.
In most areas they check from 9-4 or 5 and some places there are gate workers who check them before you get on the beach. For dawn patrol you are safe and can usually remain in the water however long you like, no one usually kicks you out of the water but that is different everywhere. After and before those hours you are good to come and go as you want. Also, between those hours there are designated surf spots where surfers only are allowed. For DP and after 4 or 5 you can surf anywhere.
Daily badges are between i think 7 and 8 bucks, season can be 50 - 100 depending on the area.
May 25, 2011, 06:47 PM #4
cool, thanks, that is about what i figured. These towns must make a ton of money off the beach badges.
I will mostly be trying to hit up the DP or evening sessions anyway.
Just use some of the methods Gary Busey posted in the other thread. You can almost always get on free if you just run past the checker with your board and wetsuit on. If you have three chairs and the kids and their toys then that's another story. Or jump the rail when the renta cops aren't looking and run into the water when you see them walking up and down the beach.

Coming from Delmarva:
In Ocean City, MD there is no charge for parking or beaches. I suppose they figure the tourist spends enough in the city as it is. In Delaware, a lot of places you have to pay to park, but that is it.

not sure how entirely accurate this is, but along the lines of what was said above that the towns car charge for parking and use of beaches, but not of the water --- so i believe it is a law in some towns (long branch to be specific i think it like this) that if you are surfing on the designated surfing beach then you dont need a badge. reasoning behind that i believe is that since there are no guards on the surfing beach and you arent actually using the beach but just the water they cant force you to have a badge. same goes for fishing.

CARTHAGE, Mo. – Mother Nature has not been kind to the Show-Me State this year. Many Missouri families are trying to recover from floods and tornadoes and to put the pieces of their lives back together.
As FEMA and insurance claims are paid, many families will find that they suddenly have money. That might not sound like a problem, but if you're inexperienced in dealing with large sums of money, a windfall may tempt you to make bad financial decisions, warns a University of Missouri Extension family financial education specialist.
"For some people, this can be more money than they've ever had at one point in time," said Janet LaFon. "It can be tempting to spend that money on something other than what really is in the best interest of the family."
It's important for families to separate their wants from their needs, LaFon said. "It's good to just step back and take a real hard look at what are the basic necessities of life. Of course, we've got to have food on the table, a roof over our heads, some kind of shelter, and clothing. Where the wants start creeping in is at what level we choose to meet those basic needs."
A plan for your windfall should include long-term goals in addition to replacing things that were lost. You might want to think about a college education for your children, or it could be a good time to think about retirement planning. LaFon also suggests setting up or adding to an emergency savings fund.
As you set priorities, it's a good idea to include the entire family, children as well as adults. "Because money is utilized by the entire family, it's a great opportunity to use it as a learning experience for children to learn how to handle money properly," she said.
LaFon recommends that you put your money in a safe place like a bank or credit union while you're making your financial plans. "If you have it in a safe place, it will be a little less tempting to maybe go out and spend it on some things that are not the highest priorities for you and your family."
It's often human nature to see windfall money as different from money you earn, but it's important to remember that a dollar is a dollar, and the sound financial decisions you apply to your earned income equally apply to your sudden money, she said.

I had SUCH a rough day yesterday. The holiday shoppers are really starting to show their colors, and I had to deal with two broads.
We recently fired a complete tool who consistently priced items wrong and put invalid SKUs on everything, not to mention a lot of items have had price changes - pretty confusing atm. We carry some Nintendo toys that are about $5 apiece and one item some kid wanted to buy was ringing up as half that price, so I corrected it to the other Nintendo products, only about $2 more.
He was with two older women, sisters, friends, lesbian couple, idk idc. They were
Middle-aged hags, they freaked out. The product was not even in the computer (it used to be, which makes me think recent price change since they have to re-enter it, I guess). They accused me of violating the law by not honoring the sales floor price multiple times, when I tried to explain the situation with the store's current prices, they accused me of making excuses and said I was horrible, had shi**y customer service, demanded my manager's name and corporate number, wrote down my name, the whole nine. My co-worker who I was training went in the back to call the manager. The product did have a price change (I guess? It's almost never sold and I didn't know the price, tried to explain that to the wenches but they just accused me of more excuses.) so they got two of them with a discounted price.
Whoever came up with "the customer is always right" needs to be freaking shot.
On another note, a superstore (Midwestern version of Walmart) that I frequent has been shoplifted twice in the past week. The first time I saw a woman being escorted into a police car by a cop with handcuffs, and last night I was walking in when two ghetto guys walked out, the alarm went off and they kept walking, and by the time they got outside one guy sprinted like mad across the parking lot. Lazy security literally took his time getting the walkie talkie and going outside, the kid was already out of the lot lol.

Soap Awards: A Corrie-dominated evening of short and entertaining acceptance speeches
WATCHING the British Soap awards has its limitations.
Only five soap operas seem to take part: Coronation Street, EastEnders, Emmerdale, Hollyoaks and Doctors. The first two dominate, the latter one (it's a daytime soap on the BBC, by the way) never wins anything. And at this year's awards the "right to die" storyline on Corrie involving Roy and Hayley appeared to sweep up just about every prize going.
Thank you from the bottom of my mortgage
But they could certainly teach the rather more rarefied Baftas a thing or two about how to receive an award. there was an absolute mini- mum of the wet-eyed shaking and stammering that was on show at the latter event recently – "oh god, oh god, I just don't know what to say" – followed by an interminable litany of insider names to be thanked, all of them meaningless to the viewing public.
In contrast the various Soap award winners' thanks were not just mercifully short but gracious and witty too. David Neilson (who plays Roy cropper in Corrie) in particular stole the show all over again every time he went up on stage with self- deprecating remarks like: "thank you from the bottom of my mortgage." he should give lessons in acceptance speeches to some of his more precious colleagues elsewhere in the acting world.
Kim is out of this world
There are times when I have read about the phenomenon of Kim Kardashian (she's a member of an American reality TV show family and has just married a rapper called Kanye West) and felt as if the happenings on another planet were being discussed. I was reminded of that sensation again this week when I saw this picture of her remarkable bottom. It looks like something Nasa should launch a mission to land on.
We have a tendency over here to look down our noses at American justice, especially and rightly when we hear stories of prisoners with a mental age of 11 on death row or someone who turns out to be found innocent too late to save them from lethal injection or the electric chair.
Last week Heriberto Viramontes was found guilty in Chicago of attempted first-degree murder, armed robbery and aggravated battery. He had attacked two women in the city with a baseball bat, one of whom – an Irish exchange student called Natasha McShane, 27 – is now left unable to walk or talk for life as a consequence. Viramontes has just been sentenced to 90 years in jail, with the judge ruling that he must serve 85 per cent of that sentence.
Is it stretching credulity too much to suggest that under the obviously much more sophisticated British legal system he would be on day release within four or five years and out for good 12 months later?
Ukip is Top of the Populists
My favourite word in the fallout that has followed last week's European Parliament and local elections is "populist". It is one of those political weasel words designed to carry a pejorative meaning and pronounced with lip-smacking disdain by panjandrums like European Commission president Jose Manuel Barroso, with its implication that the barbarians are at the gates. My Oxford dictionary, however, defines the word as "a member or adherent of a political party seeking to represent the interests of ordinary people". As a description of what happened last week, that sounds about right.
You know there's a World Cup pending when the Panini sticker album comes out. During the last two tournaments I collected the stickers with my son and on both occasions we completed the albums. I won't dwell on how much I spent on those tasks – that's my wife's job.
This time, however, the circumstances are somewhat different. My son is 16. He's at an age where all his faculties are
devoted to his apparent irresistibility to the opposite sex and the latest story he can come up with about why he didn't make it home at the agreed time.
He remains, however, touchingly complicit in allowing me to delude myself that the only reason I'm currently investing a small fortune to fill the latest album with stickers is because I'm doing it for him. Is there anyone out there who's got swaps of Messi or Rooney?

The Dead Man's Legacy is a legendary quiver for the Demon Hunter in Diablo III. It requires character level 60 to drop. In patch 2.2.0, it became Season Three exclusive, but drops for all characters since that Season ended.
As of patch 2.2.0, it gained a unique affix that causes Multishot to resolve two separate hits (with independent percentage chances) against every enemy hit when below 60% health. The second hit only triggers if the first one has been resolved at the correct Life ratio, and not if the first hit reduces the enemy to that level.
Bonus to Multishot damage can still roll 10-15% as a random affix.
Stats (Level 60)Edit
Dead Man's Legacy
Legendary Quiver
- +330–524 Dexterity
- Attack Speed Increased by 15.0–20.0%
- Critical Hit Chance Increased by 6.0–6.5%
- Multishot hits enemies below 60% health twice and deals 150–200% increased damage.
- +3 Random Magic Properties

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
I hope to be the first to congratulate Hunter Mahan on his win at the Shell Houston Open. This win brings him to #4 in the world, the highest-ranked US player on the list. He held firm through the round, while Oostie faltered a bit. Carl Pettersen gave Hunter a run for his money, but his approach shot on #18 sealed the win. Congratulations, Hunter--and look forward to a chance to win Icons and a StaSof glove.
Congrats to Hunter! Great win for him and for Team Footjoy. Looks like another contest headed our way!

The Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is shown in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, July 16, 2011. The official unveiling of the latest memorial on the National Mall is scheduled for Sunday, August 28.
For Sister Donna Barfield, getting a sneak peak at the soon-to-open Martin Luther King, Jr. National Memorial was, she said, one of the most emotional experiences of her life.
She was moved by the statue, the curving granite walls engraved with his words taken from various speeches and writings.
"It was phenomenal," said Barfield who was among nearly 100 African American priests, nuns, seminarians, and deacons who got to tour the memorial in late July when they visited Washington for their annual National Black Catholic Joint Conference.
"If I have the opportunity, I would love to go back to the opening," she said. Barfield said she appreciated being able to "absorb the whole spiritual aspects of it" without crowds.
Crowds are what Washington officials are bracing for as the Aug. 28 dedication of the MLK's memorial draws near. King, a religious and civil rights leader, frequently drew on his spiritual tradition to inspire the movement
Destination DC , the city's official tourism and marketing office, is reporting an increase in calls and other inquiries about the events surrounding the dedication. The office has refocused its marketing efforts to promote King memorial-related hotel packages, including tickets to the official viewing areas at the dedication ceremony. Due to demand since the close of a public lottery for tickets, six of the 16 hotels started offering one-night packages. The office also has reached out to a variety of groups, including faith-based organizations, and targeted niche and national publications, television and radio networks to promote the memorial. In July, the office's president and chief executive Elliott Ferguson spoke on the Tom Joyner Morning Show, which reaches more than 8 million listeners daily, many of whom are African American.
Washington is a beacon for visitors from around the world, particularly in the summer. Its connection to King is already strong: The Mall served as the backdrop for one of his most famous speeches; he rested at one of its landmark hotels, the Willard Hotel; and he has been among revered theologians and ministers to preach at Howard University's Rankin Chapel .
The dedication of the memorial is scheduled to take place on the 48th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom when King delivered his historic "I Have a Dream" speech. The effort to build the memorial took more than 25 years.
Standing on the grounds of the memorial, gazing at the Stone of Hope and imagining that for years to come, legions will learn and also become inspired by the slain minister and humanitarian were very overwhelming, said Redemptorist Father Maurice Nutt.

Hundreds attend the first public viewing of the Martin Luther King Junior Memorial in Washington, D.C. on August 22, 2011.
"It felt like I was on holy ground," said Nutt of Chicago. "You feel as you walk through the Mountain of Despair and see the image of Dr. King on the Stone of Hope, his image coming out of the stone depicts steadfast determination."
The priest is a member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., which King joined in the 1950s and Nutt joined in 2006. Members of the black Greek-letter organization spearheaded the effort to raise money to construct the monument between the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials.
Nutt said he plans to return and march with fellow Alphas to the site the day of its dedication.
"Given the situation we are in today, with racial unrest, political differences, and economic recessions, this is a very significant time for the memorial to be dedicated," he said. "We need hope. I believe that it's very pertinent that the memorial is being dedicated right at this very moment."
The Rev. Al Sharpton, founder and president of the National Action Network, is organizing a rally and march to the memorial site a day before the official dedication. Busloads of supporters from across the country are scheduled to participate. He said the need to fight for jobs, freedom and equality persists.
"Dr. King died dealing with economic inequality in this country, which we are still dealing with to this day," said Sharpton, who is slated to speak during the dedication. "Where we will be for his memorial is where he wanted to build Resurrection City as part of the Poor People's Campaign." The campaign was the last major movement King organized before his assassination.
Sharpton said King played a major influence on his life.
"I grew up as a boy preacher," he said. By 12, Sharpton found himself drawn more toward social justice ministry outside the sanctuary than working strictly for one congregation as a pastor. When King died, Sharpton was serving as youth director of the New York branch of Operation Breadbasket, the Southern Christian Leadership Conference initiative aimed at providing economic opportunity and equality.
Sharpton noted that the march will be the first national gathering of progressives, faith-based groups, labor leaders and others since the battle over raising the debt-ceiling, the ongoing debate over proposed changes to medicare and social security and the passage of the health-care bill. It is being called the Emancipator to the Liberator rally and march for jobs and justice, and it will begin at the Lincoln Memorial and end at the King memorial.
"It will be a rallying cry for people in the street against what is happening, against those who tried to declare war on poor people and the disadvantaged and the middle class," he said, adding that one of the co-chairs is a leader of AFSCME, the group whose striking sanitation workers King spoke in support of in Memphis the night before he died.
Ronald Rice, a Newark city councilman and an Alpha, said he couldn't miss witnessing history and plans to drive down Washington, D.C. later this week.
"I am just proud to be alive and to be able to see the first African American president dedicate this monument to the man who foretold his election in America," Rice said. "This is a celebration of what is best about this nation and a call to service in our own communities.
"This day is almost as big as the inauguration of President Obama, but only if we all leave the dedication committed to doing more in our communities when we get back home. Our urban communities need mentoring, jobs and real education reform, healthcare and a renewed covenant by us to save us," he said.

Install OSX Tiger on Intel Machines (or USB Drives) Using Only Windows Software
Many of the guides for installing OSX Tiger are complicated and use linux. You can install OSX using public-domain free windows only tools. Leopard instructions and links included as well.
If you wish to install OSX tiger to your intel machine or usb drive, you can follow these few steps. Be careful because you can kill your hard drive if you are not careful.
You will need either a seperate hard drive (seperate partition will not do) or an external hard drive. Whatever extra hard drive you use will be completely replaced by osx and you will lose all information on that drive.
1. Authorized users should obtain the OSX files from Apple. It is illegal to obtain them from torrent sites by searching under the following keywords: "VMWare files for patched Mac OS X Tiger Intel"
2. Unrar these files to the root of your C: drive
3. Download Forensic Acquisition Utilities
4. Unzip these files and copy dd.exe to the root of c: drive as well
Note: the dd.exe program is used to write the image to your spare hard drive or external hard drive. The command is the following:
dd if=c:\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\.\PhysicalDriveSomething
PhysicalDriveSomething should be replaced with your real physicaldrive (PhysicalDrive1, PhysicalDrive2, etc.). What your hard drives or usb drives are labelled is not always obvious. So I use WMI to figure this out. If you don't need it, don't get it. It's free and it may prevent you from killing your wrong hard drive.
5. Download WMI Tools from Microsoft
6. Open WMI Browser Object
7. Allow block content and click the OKs until it loads
8. Select Win32_SystemPartitions.PartComponent in the left column
9. In the right column right-click on the drive device id (Disk #0, Partition #0, etc) and select Go to Object
10. The device window will open and click the associations tab
11. Exploring with this tool you should be able to match drive letters (Win32_LogicalDisk.DeviceID="C:") to each physicaldisk reference (Win32_DiskDrive.DeviceID="\\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE0″)
12. Now that you know the physicaldrive label for your extra internal or external drive, you can drop to the root of your c: drive and run the command. Be sure to replace the physicaldrive text with the physical drive you determined above. If you use the wrong one, you will erase your primary hard drive.
dd if=c:\tiger-x86-flat.img of=\\.\PhysicalDrive
13. The command will appear to hang but you will notice your extra harddrive cranking away. It's going to do this for 15min to hours. Just let it run.
14. Once it is done, reboot and set the osx drive to your boot drive through your bios.
15. If your hardware is compatable, you should boot to OSX.
If you need to debug, I recommend these forums.
This wiki is also excellent:

Dyana Neal's speaking voice is well-known to classical music fans in the region -- she's the midday host at WBJC-FM. Her singing voice will be the focus Thursday night at An die Musik, where Neal will perform a mix of arias, Broadway tunes and classics of the American Songbook.
Like many others, Neal lost a valued performance outlet when the Baltimore Opera Company slipped into bankruptcy -- she had been a chorus member since 2002. For the An die Musik event, "I am planning to dedicate I'll See You Again' to the Baltimore Opera Chorus because I hope very much to work with my BOC colleagues again in the future," Neal says in an e-mail message. "Let's hope better times are ahead for opera in Baltimore."
She will be accompanied by pianist Diane Kinsley during the Thursday recital, and joined for a couple of numbers by her husband, baritone and architect Jim Knost. The program includes arias from Il trovatore and Carmen, along with such standards as "Skylark," "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend," "Losing my Mind," and "Every Time We Say Goodbye" (that song could also be dedicated to the casualties of Baltimore Opera's collapse).
Incidentally, I learned from Neal's bio that she has done some film work, including an appearance in my favorite John Waters film, Pecker. I'll have to dig that DVD out again soon and keep an eye out for her.

Sugarland Plan to Be 'Honest and Open' in Indiana State Fair Deposition
Sugarland was scheduled to begin their video deposition today (April 12) concerning the August 13 Indiana State Fair tragedy and the lawsuits suggesting that they resisted delaying the start of their show. Since the collapse that killed seven and injured dozens more, fingers have been pointed at everyone from Sugarland to Mid-America Sound Corp, the company that owned the stage and the light rigging. But the band says no one cares more about getting this resolved than they do.
Rachel Bradshaw, Terry Bradshaw's Daughter, Signs a Record Deal
Her father may be a football legend, but recording artist Rachel Bradshaw did inherit musical genes from Terry Bradshaw. The younger Bradshaw, who came to Nashville from her native Texas to study music at Belmont, has signed a record deal with Bigger Picture Group. In an interview with the Associated Press, Rachel explained that this has always been her goal ever since she came to Belmont as a freshman.
Keith Urban Surprises Fan Club at Country Music Hall of Fame Breakfast
Keith Urban's fans may have been disappointed when the 'For You' singer had to postpone his annual All for the Hall benefit concert due to vocal cord surgery. Though the concert was originally set to take place mid-January, Urban's vocal rest caused him to reschedule the annual Country Music Hall of Fame fundraiser for tonight, April 10. And while fans had to wait three months for the event, Urban went out of his way this morning to make it well worth their while.
Jake Owen Opens Up About Engagement to Lacey Buchanan
To say that Jake Owen had quite the week last week would be a vast understatement. The country singer with Floridian roots saw his single 'Alone With You' climb to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's Country Songs chart, where it's still sitting pretty above the rest. Whether it was because Owen was already on top of the world or because he felt especially emotional playing for his hometown Vero Beach, Fla. crowd, Owen went ahead and popped the question to girlfriend Lacey Buchanan on Saturday night (April 7).
Keith Urban Reaps Major Benefits of Vocal Cord Surgery
After having vocal cord surgery at the end of last year, Keith Urban went on three weeks of extremely difficult vocal rest, during which time he couldn't speak, sneeze, cough or communicate with his young daughters, who didn't understand why their dad was silent. But now, on the other size of the trying process, Urban says he feels like a football player in his 40s who was given the knees of a 20-year-old.
Trace Adkins Wants You to Try His New Country Smoked Sausage
Trace Adkins has forged a new partnership, but it's not with a label or another country artist or agency — it's with his meat. Adkins has joined forces with the Louisiana-based company Hightower Enterprises to bring his celebrity name to Hightower's Country Smoked Sausage. In a commercial for the product, Adkins is grilling out in the backyard, explaining why he chose to align himself with the company that's been making his favorite sausage since 1972.
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw Unleash New 'Feel Like a Rock Star' Single on 'Ellen'
Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw have been seeing a good bit of each other lately, as the two polish their boots in preparation for their upcoming Brothers of the Sun Tour, which kicks off June 2 in Tampa, Fla. Plus, the pair of country studs hit the ACM stage this past weekend (Sunday, April 1) to perform their new joint single 'Feel Like a Rock Star.' And then today (April 4), the two took their rocking single to the stage of 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show.'
Miranda Lambert Reveals Chris Young's Hidden Talent: Breakdancing
Miranda Lambert and Chris Young sat down at the table with the ladies of CBS' 'The Talk' on Thursday morning, and Lambert decided to offer up a little nugget of trivia about the 26-year-old country crooner joining her on the show. "I have a secret that I know," she began, pausing. "About him — but you're not going to expect what I'm about to say."
Toby Keith Takes Tequila Shots, Supports the Troops on 'Chelsea Lately'
Toby Keith took a moment to appear on Chelsea Handler's show 'Chelsea Lately' Tuesday night (March 27) to talk to the comedic host about his career, enjoy a shot of tequila and explain why he's not a conservative Republican, as many might assume. After admitting that she actually had Keith confused with Trace Adkins until she saw him and realized it wasn't Adkins, Handler jumped in her matter-of-fact, straight-faced way from topic to topic — after first enjoying a shot of the restaurant owner's own brand of Mezcal, which he calls Wild Shot.
Steel Magnolia Officially Not Breaking Up
Steel Magnolia had a rough year last year — to say the least. With rumors of a potential split circulating, the duo's fans were left wondering what was going to happen to the 'Keep On Lovin' You' singers in 2012, both professionally and personally, since the two had set a tentative July 2012 wedding date. And while the duo aren't giving any details of the status of their relationship, Joshua Scott Jones and Meghan Linsey assure fans that they're back in the studio working on new music and preparing for their upcoming ACM Experience appearance.
Taylor Swift to Profit Big Thanks to Success of 'The Hunger Games'
'The Hunger Games' premiere finally came and went, and according to Forbes, the film did even better at the box office than originally expected. And while this means major profits for Lions Gate Entertainment, it also means hefty dividends for the musicians behind the film's soundtrack, including names like Taylor Swift, the Civil Wars, Miranda Lambert and the Secret Sisters. In the end, it looks as though Swift will take home the biggest paycheck, since she has two songs on the record.
Taylor Swift to Star in 'The Lorax' Sequel?
Could it be true? On Thursday, it was reported that Universal is kicking around the idea of filming a sequel to the box office hit Dr. Seuss film 'The Lorax,' which stars Taylor Swift and Zac Efron. While this may or may not simply be a rumor, it seems Universal would have to be crazy not to at least consider the idea with as well as the first movie is doing.
