1. Understanding the Environment
The scenario that I'm going to describe on this post was based on a case where the customer's need was really specific and the configuration of the ISA Server was restricted by the company's hardening policy. The topology was similar to the one below:
Figure 1 – Lab used to simulate this behavior.
As you can see above the ISA Server 2006 was a member of one of the child domains and it was using FBA (Forms Base Authentication) to publish an internal web server. The goal was to be able to use UPN format to logon to the Dallas.contoso.com child domain from outside. In this case customer was using multiple UPN suffixes for the same domain.
For more information about multiple UPN suffixes concept review the KB243280.
When the external client uses the SAM format (domain\user) it worked fine no matter what the domain was. However, using the UPN format the authentication was only working for users located on the same child domain as the ISA Server 2006. The error message that was showing up on the Internet Explorer right after the client logon was:
"The server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web server is denied. Contact the server administrator."
2. Reviewing the Data
To better understand the logon attempts we enabled the netlogon logging on the domain controller. To do this run the following command on the Domain Controller:
nltest /dbflag:0x2080ffff
2.1. Reviewing the Netlogon Log and the Security Logs
On the Domain Controller located on the Austin.contoso.com we could see the logon attempt:
[CRITICAL] NlPrintRpcDebug: Couldn't get EEInfo for I_NetLogonSamLogonEx: 1761 (may be legitimate for 0xc0000064)
11/30 08:45:50 [LOGON] SamLogon: Network logon of Austin.contoso.com\email@example.com from ISASRV1 Returns 0xC0000064
The error code 0xC0000064 means that the user does not exist and we can confirm that on the security log of the ISA Server:
Event Type: Failure Audit
Event Source: Security
Event Category: Account Logon
Event ID: 680
Date: 04/10/2008
Time: 11:51:03 AP
User: NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM
Computer: ISASRV1
Logon attempt by: MICROSOFT_AUTHENTICATION_PACKAGE_V1_0
Logon account: email@example.com
Source Workstation: ISASRV1
Error Code: 0xC0000064
3. Hardening
On the first paragraph of this post I mentioned that the ISA Server was hardening due the company's security policy. One of the changes that it was implemented on this case was the change for the LmCompatibilityLevel entry for 5. During the course of the troubleshooting for this case it was also identified that the issue didn't happen using the default LmCompatibilityLevel value. But, we couldn't implement this workaround due the compliance of this server to the company's policy.
4. The Solution
This is a known issue that was recently fixed with the hotfix mentioned on the KB article below:
Authentication of trusted users fails on a Windows Server 2003-based server if the UPN format is used and if the value of the LmCompatibilityLevel entry is equal to or larger than 3
Notice that even if you have Windows Server 2003 SP2 you still need to update the system using the fix above. Also, it is important to emphasize that although the article focus on FBA authentication, the same behavior can occur using normal HTTP authentication. In any of those instances, the SAM format logon is handled the same by ISA Server when calling LSALogonUser API. For more information on NTLM user authentication, review the KB102716.

PETA, Theraflu Respond to Kanye West's New Single
(LOS ANGELES) -- Kanye West admits that he fell in love with Kim Kardashian on his tell-all new song "Theraflu," and now PETA is just hoping that the rapper will have the same affinity towards the treatment of animals.
Kanye mentions PETA in the hook to his single, rhyming, "Someone tell PETA my mink is draggin' on the floor." The group has fired back, of course, with PETA's senior vice president Dan Mathews issuing a statement Thursday, saying, "What's draggin' on the floor is Kanye's reputation as a man with no empathy for animals or human beings."
Mathews goes on to say that while 'Ye is a "great musician," he "doesn't seem to have the fashion sense to design anything more than caveman costumes."
By that, the PETA leader is likely referring to the fall/winter collection that Kanye debuted during Paris Fashion Week back in March. Models walked the runway in furs and reptile skins, which certainly lost Kanye favor with groups fighting for the protection of animals.
Still, PETA hasn't completely written off Kanye. "We keep hoping that one day he'll find his heart and join evolved style icons -- including Russell Simmons, Pink and Natalie Portman -- who have dropped animal skins," Mathews says.
PETA isn't the only group that isn't happy about Kanye's song "Theraflu." According to TMZ, a rep for the cold medicine says, "We in no way endorse or approve of the references or use of the image and likeness of Theraflu in this manner."
Kanye titled the single "Theraflu" because, according to his lyrics, he's "way too cold."

A Rose for Emily was a little decieving at first. The beginning of this story portrayed a women whom was somewhat forced to stay single by a possessive father who didn't want to lose his daughter. Leaving the reader to feel sympathy for Emily. It wasn't until later in the story where you began to see that this story was about fear and insanity. Fear of change and fear of being alone, and because of this fear it lead to insanity. Things in the town were growing up, new factories and many changes with the people's beliefs, the "old" south was becoming the "new" south. Emily regressed after her father's death and continued to stay homebound.
It wasn't until she met Homer Barron that she seemed to change. However, Homer was a northern laborer, and a homosexual. That's when I believe the insanity began. Once again a fear of change, the fear of losing Homer and being left alone once again, she decided to poison him.
Feeling that if she couldn't have him alive she thought she could keep him with her if he were dead, so she killed him. Because of her seclusion no one really knew just how bad it was. Not until her death did the truth come out about Homer. It is clear that all Emily wanted out of life was to be loved and have some companionship. Without these things she seemed to lose a sense of reality.

Play Me Something
Apple unveiled the original iPod on October 23, 2001 to a resounding "meh," but where analysts and the media saw another failure in the making, consumers saw an opportunity to finally have a powerful and easy to use portable music player that just worked. The first iPod looked very much like the current iPod classic, but with a monochrome LCD display, a physical Click Wheel, and a 5GB hard drive.
Critics called the iPod overpriced at US$399, and said Apple was a late-comer to an already established market — a market that belonged to a handful of MP3 players that offered enough storage for only a few songs, and sported interfaces that where cumbersome at best. Apple's music player, in contrast, was easy to use even with large music libraries, could be used without reading a manual, and transfered songs through FireWire, which pushed data a speeds that far exceeded the performance of the pokey USB 1.1 connections other MP3 players used.
FireWire was a big selling point for the iPod because it let users load their on-the-go music far quicker than the could over USB. Critics saw FireWire's performance as a major flaw since it limited the iPod just to Mac customers, leaving the much larger Windows market out in the cold. Despite that limitation, the iPod sold, and it sold well.
Apple doubled the iPod's hard drive storage to 10GB in mid 2002, and introduced a model with a touch-based Click Wheel, replacing the original's physical Click Wheel. The company followed that up in 2003 by introducing the first iPod with a Dock Connector — a feature that's still on most iPods to this day.
The iPod continued to gain popularity, and by 2004 was clearly the music player to own. Apple's white earbuds made it clear which music player you owned, and they were easy to spot everywhere. Those white cords crossed demographics, too, with students, business people and everyone in between sporting Apple's earbuds connected to an iPod in their pocket or bag.
Apple gave the iPod a little brother in January 2004 with the introduction of the iPod mini. The mini was the first iPod available in several colors — the original was white only — and went on to be the best selling iPod model of the time.
The following January, Apple introduced the iPod shuffle and rolled out the second generation iPod mini. The shuffle was Apple's first entry into the flash RAM music player market, which also meant the company wasn't restricted by the physical size of hard drives.
Come September, Apple shocked analysts be discontinuing the mini even though it was the company's best selling iPod model. Apple introduced the iPod nano as its replacement, and ushered in the era of flash RAM-based music players.
Apple's decision to kill the iPod nano was a big gamble for the company, but one that paid off in spades since the nano line ultimately turned out to be even more successful than the mini. The nano is currently barely larger than a book of matches, but offers more storage than the original hard drive-based iPod.
Touch Me, Baby
Apple had already dominated the portable media player market by the time former CEO Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone in January 2007. Mr. Jobs showed off the iPhone, the company's first combination iPod and smartphone, at Macworld Expo. That was also the first time the world saw the iPhone's touch-based interface that's also part of the iPod touch which was introduced in September that same year.
The iPod touch offered many of the same features found on the iPhone: A music and video player, calendar and contact apps, Mobile Safari and Mail, and support for the iTunes Store and — when it finally launched — the App Store.
Apple's touch interface was intuitive and unlike anything available on any smartphone of the day. While limited compared to iOS now, that first version did away with convoluted menus and settings found on other smartphones, and didn't include a physical keyboard. Ditching the keyboard for an on-screen keyboard was slammed by Apple's competition and some analysts, although it has proven popular enough that other companies have since adopted the design for their own devices.
iOS opened the iPod to a wider range of functions thanks to its ability to work with more complex applications. Thanks to Apple's App Store, the iPod touch has become a popular mobile gaming platform, a pocket-size business tool and a go-anywhere computer. Recent models include cameras for photos and video capture, and every model has included Wi-Fi wireless networking support.
Following the release of the iPhone, and then the iPod touch, Apple eventually released the iPad and now the iPad 2. Unlike the pocketable iPhone and iPod touch, the iPad is a full-on tablet, and like its smaller siblings, has taken over its market.
Competing touch-based interfaces, most notably Google's Android OS, have hit the market to compete with iOS's dominance, although so far the must-have devices for consumers still come from Apple.
The design of the iPhone and iPod touch changed how electronics makers built their smartphones and media players from clunky and boxy to more organic and sleek, showing Apple's heavy influence in the portable electronics market.
Apple's influence, however hasn't been limited to product design. The music industry saw new sales thanks to the iTunes Store and its inexpensive song downloads, and the store later added TV shows and movies to its line up, too. The iPad brought us the iBookstore, Apple's own ebook store, turning the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch into portable book readers, although Amazon already offered a software version of its Kindle ebook reader for Apple's devices.
Show Me Yours & I'll Show You Mine
Apple's dedication to detail helped propel the iPod beyond just a cool music player and into a cultural phenomenon. Nearly everyone has one — or more — and it's a pretty safe bet that if you ask someone if they have one they'll pull one out of their pocket to show off.
Ask someone to name an iPod competitor and you'll be lucky to get a response, or maybe they'll mention Microsoft's Zune — which, depending on who you talk to at Microsoft, will tell you it's been discontinued, or not.
That's not to say there aren't other portable media players for consumers to choose from. It does, however, show that our culture has an iPod-or-nothing mentality about media players.
It also seems a safe bet that the iPod in some form will remain a driving force in the portable media player market for some time to come. The iTunes Store is among the top music sellers, the App Store is selling apps in droves, and there aren't any companies that have been able to match Apple's complete package from hardware to software and music — at least not yet.
Amazon, Google and Microsoft are hoping to give Apple a run for its money, but for now the iPod game is Apple's to win or lose, and has been for ten years.

So this is our "changed" man.
Last April, FG Mike Arroyo went through what was described as a life-threatening open heart surgery. After surviving the critical post-surgery period and being discharged weeks later with a large chance of fully recovering, Mike Arroyo instructs his lawyers to withdraw the libel suits he filed against more than 40 journalists. In his statement, Mike Arroyo said,
"I am determined to keep in touch with the God that has been magnanimous to me, and let His spirit of generosity steer me through any future conflicts…"
He may claim going through a life-altering experience, but it seems Mike A. is being haunted by old ghosts. In recent developments involving the anomalous NBN deal, the latest being today's revelation by JDV's son that the "mystery man" who told him to "back off" is no other than FG Arroyo himself. Perceived as an act of guilt, FG was spotted late last night as he slipped out of the country just as the Senate investigation on the ZTE deal started today.
I am just reminded of how, during the time he went under the knife until the critical period where his life was still in danger, even his harshest critics could only say that they wish him well and will pray for his recovery. I just wonder why when faced with an utterly despicable person, civility still dictates that we cannot wish him ill? Why is that?

(Update) Denials from the Arroyo, Abalos camps-
Arroyo hubby denies hand in ZTE broadband deal
Iggy defends Arroyo: He was not in Wack-Wack
Abalos denies March meeting with JDV son, Mike A.

Mary Beth Buchanan and Corrupt Politicans
When one starts to throw stones, they better not live in a glass house. So will Mary Beth Buchanan answer any questions about her connection to corrupt staffers from State Senator Jane Orie's office? Mary Beth Buchanan's campaign manager is Kurt Acker. He is mentioned as a staffer aware of the illegal activities that were going on in Orie's office:
"During her testimony, Ms. Rioja quoted staff member Kurt Acker as once saying, "if the Attorney General's Office knew what was occurring in [Sen.] Orie's office, that 'they all would be in handcuffs.'"
Mary Beth Buchanan touts her job as a federal prosecutor going after politicians like Jane Orie, but she looks the other way when hiring these corrupt staffers for her own staff.
Update: Mr. Acker has since changed his twitter page since this blog was posted. Here is the screen shot from this morning:
1 comment:
These are excellent points; government in Pennsylvania could come to a halt because of Corbett Hypocrisy and it is time to call on Tom Corbett to become decent and realize the vastness of what has happen.
It is also a chance for Tom Corbett to help in the reforms to correct the problems statewide.
We need an Amnesty Legislative Hearing, and have everyone turn themselves in before their interns or employees do it.
Bring all forth talk about, pledge never to do it again, pay a fine, and have immunity from prosecutions.
Set up new procedures that has safeguards and a way to admit if a future violation happens without penalty unless intentional and repeated pattern or practice.
The best reform can be mostly using Public Websites that monitor Elected Officials and Employee Pay, Comp Time, Expenses, and Activities for anyone to see.
Vacate all convictions and guilty pleas, payback the bonuses, expenses, and a fine.
Drop all current investigations and upcoming trials; let the Amnesty Legislative Hearing be public for the Voters to decide later in elections on what they heard.
Reform the Pennsylvania Grand Jury System from Prosecutors abuses with added exculpatory safeguards.
Establish the Attorney General to go back to being appointed but not from the Governor but from the other opposite of the Governor's Party with a lifetime ban on any appointed Attorney General running for Governor, Senate or Congress so he can do his job honestly without political ambitions!
Call them THE CORBETT REFORMS in his honor!
In this way, each elected official that made mistakes or developed sloppy practices has a chance to admit it, be free to defend himself or herself, and explain it to the voters without fear of prosecution.
The voters will decide the elected official's fate, and all office scan reorganize the employees needed and not needed since campaigning will no longer be part of Public Service.
The excess employees can be transferred to Democratic and Republican Campaign Offices funded by Contributors to the Party to work on the Campaigns as the Party see fit, but on Political Party dime, not government treasury.
These offices should be next to the Capitol for all Lawmakers to walk over the street and do what they need to do on campaigning.
It is not fair and it is immoral what is happening to a few when now the public knows everyone was doing it.
This is the right way to handle this scandal now.
If not, drips and drabs, of accusations will lead to more investigations, and it is time to reform, the process with organizational common sense approaches, not selective power grab career executions and political persecution, and selective prosecution.
Why be mean when all can come clean?

June is the month for brides so does that make July the month for bridal leftovers? Even the most eco-friendly wedding will still have some items waiting to be stored, reused or recycled, namely the wedding gown. Modern brides are certainly choosing more sustainable materials such as bamboo, hemp and organic cotton. Many are even choosing to be vintage brides and wear classic styles of dresses.
For the bride-now-wife not storing their dress and who cannot truly recycle their dress, here are some options on what to do with a wedding gown:
Trash that Dress: While the idea is outlandish, it is become a hugely popular wedding trend to find creative ways to destroy wedding gowns. Brides are doing everything from running through the mud, starting food fights at their receptions and even turning themselves into a canvas for their guests to paint. However, while this may give a bride something to do with her dress, the destruction of a dress still takes the path to trash and landfill.
Repurpose a Gown: After its special day, give the gown new life by tailoring it into a cocktail gown, evening gown or even a sweet nightgown. If the dress has beading, embellishments or sashes, consider picking those out and using them to accessorize existing outfits. For more versatility, remember that the dress doesn't need to be white anymore – have some fun dying it!
Donate a Gown: Share a special dress for someone else's special day. Goodwill, the I Do Foundation, the Bridal Garden and Brides Against Breast Cancer all accept wedding gown donations to benefit local brides or local charities. If you have an active community or school theater nearby, consider donating the gown to their costume department. Or contact a local boutique to see if they know of a bride in need.
Get Crafty: Good with a needle and thread? Turn a wedding gown into a wedding quilt, a ring pillow for future generation's weddings or into a christening gown for the family that follow the wedding. Or be like my mother who turned her gown into fabulous curtains for the home – get practical and create a dust ruffle, bedspread, tablecloth or purse from the gown. Some brides have even turned dresses into Christmas Tree skirts to make married holidays more memorable!
Resale, Recoup: Weddings are expensive so why not earn a little cash back for a gown? Sell a gently used gown to local boutiques, consignment stores or secondhand clothing shops. Or look online to ebay or RecycledBride to find a buyer.

Excellent post. My mom always says that we need Christ esteem, not self-esteem. When the esteem's in the right place, everything else will fall quite nicely.

Totally. Dealing with this philosophy is one of my biggest struggles as a teacher. Most kids naturally "self-love" in that they look out for themselves. Add to that a parenting philosophy that gives children whatever they "want" and you've got a handful on your hands. It's not right. It's important to feel loved and set personal boundries, but it is not the end all, be all. THat's why God has given us guidelines as to how we should live. HE knows what is good for us!

I think what you think! I agree with Katherine, too. As a teacher I see kids struggle from being indulged too often. Also, there IS such a thing as too much praise and kids that are insincerely praised too often are the most insecure! When they're told that every "scribble" is beautiful and a masterpiece worthy of a magnet, they never learn how to handle disappointment. Their ability to take pride in doing well is affected. A little priming of their self-esteem can help make a child feel good about who they are, confident in their abilities, thus helping them become capable, independent adults. Too much pumping of "me, me, me" can turn them into vain, selfish, self-centered brats. Notice how many times "self-"esteem and "self" are interrelated.
Great post. =)

I agree with you. Look at Jesus' first and second commandments. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and mind and the second is likewise; love your neighbor as you love yourself." Jesus didn't have to tell us to love ourselves. That is in our nature. Instead, we are to focus on loving God and loving others and in doing so will be obeying His commands.

I agree with you.
I would also love your opinions on some questions I have been dealing with after the death of a little 8-year-old boy who fought cancer for half his life. Basically, my question is about why God tells us if we pray in His name, He will give us the desires of our heart and if we have faith like a mustard seed we can move mountains. I would love to send you the e-mail I sent to some trusted friends, because I highly respect your opinions.
I couldn't find your e-mail on the site. If you would like, you can e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com and I will send you the e-mail. It gives the background as to why I am asking these questions.
- July 16, 2009 at 1:04 PM
Angie, sweetie... I have to say, this is all just another sign of the times. One step closer to the second coming.
As far as the self indulgent children go... There are always two extremes... and to avoid abuse many parents go to the other extreme. not saying its right, or giving an excuse. It is just the way I see it.

America 3.0: Rebooting American Prosperity in the 21st Century Why America s Greatest Days Are Yet to ComeBy: James C. Bennett (author), Michael J. Lotus (author)Hardback
Special OrderSpecial Order item not currently available. We'll try and order for you.
DescriptionAmerica's greatest days are yet to come. We are in a painful transition period. Our government is crushingly expensive, failing at its basic functions, and unable to keep its promises. It does not work and it cannot continue as it is. But the inevitable end of big government does not mean the end of America. It only means the end of one phase of American life. America is poised to enter a new era of freedom and prosperity. The cultural roots of the American people go back at least fifteen centuries, and make us individualistic, enterprising, and liberty-loving. The Founding generation of the United States lived in a world of family farms and small businesses, America 1.0. This world faded away and was replaced by an industrialized world of big cities, big business, big labor unions and big government, America 2.0. Now America 2.0 is outdated and crumbling, while America 3.0 is struggling to be born. This new world will bring immense productivity, rapid technological progress, greater scope for individual and family-scale autonomy, and a leaner and strictly limited government. America has made one major transition already, and industrial America became an economic colossus. We are now making a new transition, which will surprise many Americans, and astonish the world.

The Date Stapler solves two problems at the office
There's nothing that I like more than products that solve two problems at once, especially when the two problems are generally related.
Most of us have business documents that have to be dated, just to make certain that everything is in order for tax time. Since related documents have to be stapled, why not have a product that can both date and staple things?
This would be the Date Stapler, which puts a date and a staple on at the same time. Normally, it would be stapled and then dated separately. It really is easier this way.
Sadly, it is still a concept designed by Gonglue Jiang, but I think it shows a good trend in office supplies. Perhaps someone could create a three-hole punch that also binds papers together.
Now, if there was some way to make this legal. After all, the purpose of date-stamping a document is to make certain that it holds up in court. However, if I could make the date anything that I want, it hardly looks like it will hold up in court, right?
I'm sure that this particular Date Stapler will be made into reality soon. Perhaps there will be one with an official date that can be calibrated with the Internet. Could something like this put notaries out of business? Chime in with a comment if you have the legal know-how to answer that question.

The point of a notary is to assure that a person's identity is what they state it to be on the paper. It is not necessarily about the date. The importance of date stamping has to do with date o receipt or document production.
I like this idea in theory, but it would only apply to the first page. A good old fashioned date stamp would be required for many other things.
Neagle Says: June 22, 2011 at 2:55 pm
I like this a lot. Showing consistent continuity in regards to record keeping is generally the key when dealing with the tax collector or judicial issues and just makes for good business practice. I don't fear for the notary. Nothing substitutes a third party human validation in any court when we live in a time where counterfeiting is no longer a specialized skill set. Not everything needs to be notarized but, I would not leave things to chance in regards to a contract or a pre-nuptial agreement.

David Alexander Coats (1939-2013); s/o John Ellis Coats & Martha Parker
Memorial services for David Alexander Coats will be held at First Presbyterian Church on May 20, 2013, at 1 p.m. with the Rev. Stuart Baskin officiating. David died on May 8, 2013, of complications of acute lymphocytic leukemia after a courageous battle of almost 3 1/2 years.
David was born in Henderson Feb. 14, 1939, to John Ellis and Martha Parker Coats while his dad was on emergency leave from the Navy. He grew up in San Diego, Calif., Pensacola, Fla., and East Texas at Mount Enterprise and Nacogdoches. He graduated from Nacogdoches High School and while in high school, he started a dance band with friends from the high school marching band. He was also the first male drum major in the school. He attended SFASU for his undergraduate degree, graduating second in his class after attending only three years and never taking classes in the summer. He spent his summers working full time. He attended medical school at Bowman Gray School of Medicine (Wake Forest University) where he received his MD degree in 1964. He did a rotating internship at Brooke General Hospital at Fort Sam Houston from 1964 to 1965. This was followed by a three-year general radiology residency, also at Brooke General Hospital. He served two years of duty as chief of radiology at Lyster Army Hospital at Fort Rucker, Ala., and then was assigned to duty in the Republic of Vietnam, initially at the 93rd Evacuation Hospital in Long Binh and then at the Third Field Hospital in Saigon where he was chief of radiology. He also served as an Army flight surgeon at both of these hospitals. He returned to the U.S. and joined Drs. Robinson and MacBurney in private practice in Tyler for one year before going into solo practice of radiology. He also was board certified in nuclear medicine.
He was a professional pilot in college and worked as a flight instructor, charter pilot, covered fire patrol and in the summers he worked as an agricultural pilot in South Central Texas and in Wisconsin. In addition to owning several airplanes, he personally built an RV8 and totally restored a 1946 J-3 Cub.
David was an Airline Transport Rated Pilot for land and he also earned his seaplane rating and finished off his aviation education later in his career by becoming A&P (aviation mechanic and power plant) certified. He was a certified FFA Medical Examiner and loved providing the service of flight physicals for fellow pilots. He even introduced his grandson to the joy of learning to fly.
David was a lifetime endowed Mason and Shriner and a member of the First Presbyterian Church. He was active in several aviation organizations including the AOPA, EAA, and the Malibu/Mirage Pilots Association (an international organization) and he served as president for two years and a board member for eight years. In addition, he was instrumental in founding the Malibu/Mirage Training and Safety Foundation and was the president for two years as well as a member of the board. He also was a proud member of the QB Hangar in Tyler.
David was married to the love of his life, Emily Bell, whom he met in college. They were married in 1962 while in medical school.
David is survived by his wife, Emily; his children, Catherine Reynolds, married to Dr. Branden Reynolds, of Spokane Wash., Jason Coats, of Irving; and two brothers, Jon "Buddy" Coats, of Guatemala, and Larry Coats, of Virginia. He also took great pride in his two grandchildren, Valerie and James Reynolds. He has two older half brothers, Ellis and Clarence Coats, of California; and several nephews and nieces.
Honorary pallbearers are Fred Hirschbach, Joe Casey, Charles Clark, Ron Gammell, Gary Murray, Vince Richbourg, Dennis Spence, Sandy Stock, Orville Wenover, Arnold Wharton, Ed Wilkinson and the Cherokee County Pilots Association.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to First Presbyterian Church, 230 W. Rusk St., Tyler, 75701; Children's Village, P.O. Box 6564 Tyler, 75711; or Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, North Texas Chapter, 8111 LBJ Freeway, Suite 425, Dallas, 75211.

He writes troubleshooting content and is the General Manager of Lifewire. Updated January 02, 2019 106 106 people found this article helpful Partition management software programs let you create, delete, shrink, expand, split, or merge partitions on your hard drives or other storage devices. You can certainly partition a hard drive in Windows without extra software, but you won't be able to do things like resize them or combine them without some extra help. Safe, easy to use partition tools weren't always available, and even when you did find something you liked, it was expensive. These days, there are plenty of completely free disk partition software programs that even the novice tinkerer will love. Whether you're expanding your Windows system partition, shrinking it to make room for an operating system dual-boot setup, or combining your two media partitions for those new UHD movie rips, these free disk partition tools will sure come in handy. 01 of 10 MiniTool Partition Wizard Free MiniTool Partition Wizard Free 10. What We Like Supports lots of common disk partitioning tasks Lets you extend the system partition without having to restart Simulates changes before you save them The program is really easy to use Works well in all modern versions of Windows What We Don't Like Dealing with dynamic disks is not supported Some features that look free are only available if you purchase the program MiniTool Partition Wizard includes more partition management tools than most similar programs, even ones you might pay for. Not only does the free MiniTool Partition Wizard support regular functions like formatting, deleting, moving, resizing, splitting, merging, and copying partitions, but it also can check the file system for errors, run a surface test, wipe partitions with various data sanitization methods, and align partitions. In addition to the above, MiniTool Partition Wizard is able to move the operating system to a different hard drive as well as recover lost or deleted partitions. Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP are the supported operating systems. One thing I don't like about MiniTool Partition Wizard is that it doesn't support manipulating dynamic disks. MiniTool Partition Wizard Free v10.3 Review & Free Download 02 of 10 AOMEI Partition Assistant SE AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition v7.0. What We Like Includes an easy-to-use, step-by-step wizard Changes you make are queued and not applied until you specifically apply all of them at once Lots of useful features are included Many of the options are readily available without having to sift through menus Can run from a bootable program to work with a hard drive that doesn't have an OS installed What We Don't Like Some features are only available if you pay for them Unable to convert between primary partitions and logical partitions Can't convert dynamic disks to basis disks AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard Edition has a lot more options that are out in the open (as well as hidden away in menus) than many other free partition software tools, but doesn't let that scare you away. You can resize, merge, create, format, align, split, and recover partitions with AOMEI Partition Assistant, as well as copy whole disks and partitions. Some of the partition management features with AOMEI's tool are limited and offered only in their paid, professional version. One such feature is the ability to convert between primary and logical partitions. This program can be used in Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP. You can also use AOMEI Partition Assistant to create a bootable Windows flash drive, move an operating system to an entirely different hard drive, and wipe all the data from a partition or drive. AOMEI Partition Assistant SE v7.5 Review & Free Download 03 of 10 Active@ Partition Manager Active@ Partition Manager. What We Like It's really easy to use and understand Some changes you make can be restored from a backup Many common disk partitioning tasks are supported What We Don't Like Can't copy partitions Extending the system partition might not work for you Won't downsize locked volumes Active@ Partition Manager can create new partitions out of unallocated space as well as manage existing partitions, like resizing and formatting them. Simple wizards make it easy to walk through some of these tasks. No matter what kind of file system you're using, the free Active@ Partition Manager tool should be able to handle it, with support for all the common ones, like FAT, NTFS, HFS+, and EXT2/3/4. Active@ Partition Manager includes other features, too, like imaging a whole drive for backup purposes, converting between MBR and GPT, creating FAT32 partitions as large as 1 TB, editing boot records, and rolling back changes by auto-backing up partition layouts. When Active@ Partition Manager resizes a partition, you can define the custom size in either megabytes or sectors. Unfortunately, Active@ Partition Manager can't resize locked volumes, which means it won't let you change the size of the system volume. Active@ Partition Manager should work just fine with Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, and XP, as well as Windows Server 2012, 2008, and 2003. Active@ Partition Manager v6.0 Review & Free Download Active@ Partition Manager is also able to enlarge the system partition, but in our testing we find that it always results in a BSOD. There's more on this in the review. 04 of 10 EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition v13. What We Like Easy to understand with lots of useful options Lets you protect the program with a password Makes it easy to upgrade the system drive to a larger HDD Several helpful options and functions Changes are previewed before they're applied The program updates often with improvements and new features What We Don't Like Doesn't work for commercial use; only personal No support for managing dynamic volumes You have to restart the computer to extend the system partition Can't convert between MBR and GPT Setup tries to install another program Managing the size of a partition in EaseUS Partition Master is dead simple thanks to their easy to use slider that lets you drag left and right to shrink or expand a partition. Changes you apply to a partition in EaseUS Partition Master aren't actually applied in real time. Modifications exist only virtually, which means you're only seeing a preview of what will happen if you save the changes, but nothing is actually set in stone yet. Changes don't take effect until you click the Execute button. I particularly like this feature so things like expanding and copying partitions can be done in one swipe instead of having to reboot between each operation, thus saving tons of time. The list of pending operations is even shown on the side of the program so you can clearly see what will happen when you apply them. You can also password protect EaseUS Partition Master, hide partitions, upgrade the system drive to a larger bootable drive, merge partitions, defragment a drive, and copy Windows to a different hard drive. One thing I don't like about this program is that several features are only available in the full, paid version, but are still clickable. This means you might sometimes try to open something in the free version only to be prompted to buy the professional one. EaseUS Partition Master works with Windows 10, back through Windows XP. EaseUS Partition Master Free Edition v13 Review & Free Download Partition Master's setup routine will install EaseUS Todo Backup Free and a couple other programs along with the Partition Master...unless you uncheck that option. 05 of 10 GParted GParted v0.23.0. What We Like Works no matter what operating system is installed (or even if there isn't one) Every change can be applied nearly instantly without a reboot Lets you hide partitions Adjusting the size of a partition is really easy Supports lots of file systems What We Don't Like Takes longer to start up because you have to boot to the software Partitions are easy to miss because they're hidden in a menu Takes much longer to download than most disk partitioning programs No redo option (just an undo) GParted runs entirely from a bootable disc or USB device, but it still has a full user interface like a regular program, so it's not at all difficult to use. Editing a partition's size is easy because you can choose the exact size of the free space before and after the partition, using either a regular text box or a sliding bar to visually see the size increase or decrease. A partition can be formatted in any one of several different file system formats, some of which include EXT2/3/4, NTFS, FAT16/32, and XFS. Changes GParted makes to disks are queued up and then applied with one click. Because it runs outside the operating system, pending changes don't require a reboot, which means you can get things done that much quicker. A small but particularly annoying issue with GParted is that it doesn't list all the available partitions on one screen like most other free disk partitioning programs. You have to open each disk separately from a drop down menu, which is actually easy to miss if you're not sure where to look. GParted is around 300 MB, which is much larger than most of the other programs on our list, so it may take some time to download. GParted 0.33.0-1 Review & Free Download 06 of 10 Cute Partition Manager Cute Partition Manager v0.9.8. What We Like Runs on any computer, with or without an OS It's easy to delete and create partitions Can format a drive to one of many file systems The download size is really small What We Don't Like No graphical user interface Takes a while to start using because you have to boot to the software Must enter the exact size of the partition you want to make Doesn't save changes automatically No option to restart or exit the program Like GParted, Cute Partition Manager doesn't run from within the OS. Instead, you must install it to a bootable device like a disc or a flash drive. This means you can use it even if you don't have an operating system installed at all. Cute Partition Manager can be used to change the file system of a disk and create or delete partitions. Any changes you make are queued up and can be undone because they are only applied when you save them. Cute Partition Manager is completely text-based. This means you can't use your mouse to select the different options — it's all done with the keyboard. Don't let this scare you off, though; there aren't that many menus and so it's not really a problem. Cute Partition Manager v0.9.8 Review & Free Download 07 of 10 Macrorit Partition Expert Macrorit Partition Expert v5. What We Like Program interface makes it easy to use and understand what you're doing Supports common and advanced features Queues changes until you apply them all at once Everything you're able to do is shown outright; no hidden menu options There's a portable option What We Don't Like Doesn't support dynamic disks Free for personal use only Can't manipulate disks bigger than 32 TB I love Macrorit Partition Expert's user interface because it's super clean and uncluttered, making it very easy to use. All the available operations are listed out on the side, and none of them are hidden away in menus. Some of the actions you can perform to a disk with Macrorit Partition Expert include resize, move, delete, copy, format, and wipe a volume, as well as change the volume's label, convert between a primary and logical volume, and run a surface test. Like most of the partition management software in this list, Macrorit Partition Expert doesn't actually make any changes to the partitions until you apply them with the Commit button. One thing I don't like about Macrorit Partition Expert is that it doesn't support dynamic disks. A portable version is also available from the Macrorit website. Macrorit Partition Expert v5.3.7 Review & Free Download 08 of 10 Paragon Partition Manager Free Partition Manager Free (Paragon Hard Disk Manager Basic). What We Like Supports plenty of basic features Walks you through a step-by-step wizard Previews changes before committing to them Supports common file systems What We Don't Like Missing features found in most disk partitioning tools Not every feature is free to use; some require you to upgrade to the pro version Not free for business usage; just personal If walking through wizards helps you feel more comfortable making changes to partitions, then you'll like Paragon Partition Manager Free. Whether you're creating a new partition or resizing, deleting, or formatting an existing one, this program has you move through a step by step process to do it. Paragon Partition Manager Free supports common file systems like NTFS, FAT32, and HFS. Unfortunately, a number of additional features are disabled in Paragon Partition Manager, available only in the pro version. Paragon Partition Manager Free Review & Free Download 09 of 10 IM-Magic Partition Resizer IM-Magic Partition Resizer v3.2.4. What We Like Quick install Lots of options Accessing all the options from anywhere is easy Shows a preview of what will happen after you save the changes What We Don't Like Some features only work if you upgrade to the paid version Free for home/personal use only IM-Magic Partition Resizer works very much like the tools mentioned above. It installs quickly and is super simple to use. With this tool, you can move partitions, resize partitions (even the active one), copy partitions, as well as change the drive letter and label, check the partition for errors, delete and format partitions (even with a custom cluster size), convert NTFS to FAT32, hide partitions, and wipe all that data off of partitions. All of those actions are extremely easy to find because you just have to right-click the device you want to manipulate. As you perform these actions, you'll see the program update in real time to reflect them so that you can see how it will look when everything has been applied. Then, when you're happy with the results, just hit the big Apply Changes button to put everything into action. If you have to reboot for anything to take effect, IM-Magic Partition Resizer will tell you so. You can also view the properties of any drive, to see its NT object name, GUID, file system, sector size, cluster size, partition number, physical sector number, total number of hidden sectors, and more. The only downfall I can see with this program is that a few of the features require that you upgrade to a paid edition. For example, you can't make the bootable media program that they support unless you pay for it. IM-Magic Partition Resizer v3.6 Free Download 10 of 10 Tenorshare Partition Manager Tenorshare Partition Manager v188.8.131.52. © Tenorshare Co., Ltd. What We Like Really simple interface that's easy to use Works with lots of file systems Queues up the changes before applying them Supports only basic partitioning features What We Don't Like Unable to manipulate the system partition Hasn't been updated in a long time Like a number of the partition software tools we've already mentioned, Tenorshare Partition Manager has a natural feel to resizing partitions through a slider bar setting. One thing I really like about Tenorshare Partition Manager is the interface they chose to use. The options are easily accessible from the top of the window instead of having to push through menus to find what you need like with most tools. Several file system types can be viewed like EXT2/3/4, Reiser4/5, XFS, and JFS, but partitions can be formatted only in the NTFS or FAT32 file system. One thing I don't like about Tenorshare Partition Manager that sets it apart from nearly all of the programs from above is that it can not resize the partition that Windows is installed to, very often the thing you want to use a partition management program for!

I've been saving for a new roof for some time now. Although I haven't saved the whole amount of money needed to get a new roof without going into debt, I couldn't wait any longer. It's really nice to have it done and not have to worry the next time the wind blows.
I will be working extra hard to have the debt paid over the next few months because I absolutely hate being in debt. It's been an expensive summer being a homeowner. A few months ago I had to get a new air conditioner and furnace. On the flip side, it nice to have these big things done so I won't have to worry about it for years to come.
A look at my house with the white shingled roof that was desperately in need of repair.
A look from the back yard showing an old swamp cooler on the roof and a TV dish that I quit using years ago. I requested that these 2 eye sores be removed from my roof during the re-shingle.
I went with a company called E&H Roofing because I had several friends comment on what a great company they are. I wanted someone who would do a quality job that would last for years to come. They offer a 10 year warranty on their workmanship and the shingles have a limited lifetime warranty. I hope this is the last time in my remaining life span that I will have to think about fixing the roof on my home.
My poor detached garage had the original wood shakes on it - and lots of them were missing. My original house before the remodel was built in 1920. I'm not sure when the detached garage was built - but I'm sure it's close to 100 years old too. It didn't even have plywood covering the rafters. It's nice to have a new roof on the garage.
The swamp cooler and TV dish are gone! It makes me so happy!!
I went with a black shingled roof and love it!
The relief to have it done is beyond words. Next spring I will have my house re-painted or if I can afford it, have vinyl siding instead. I love my blue house but will probably make it a darker gray blue.
The detached garage's new roof.
It was a huge expensive job that comes with being a homeowner. I'm relieved it's done and happy with the beauty of my new black roof!

Philadelphia / West Chester KOA, Coatesville, Pennsylvania
Date of Stay:
September, 2005 -
Overall Rating:
Very nice campground in which we really enjoyed our stay and plan to stay again. It was quiet, clean, and well-maintained. The bathrooms which are cleaned thoroughly daily were spotless. The campground is very out of the way, several miles from "civilization". Getting there is a nerve-wracking drive across winding, narrow, hilly country roads and single lane bridges. The entire campground is laid out on rolling hills. Don't even consider the lower area down by the river in a large vehicle. It's primarily a tent area, although we saw one pop up. Bring lots of bug spray - the mosquitos were bad. They had a lifeguarded pool and a nice little camp store. The people who worked there were extremely friendly and helpful. One night while we were there was pizza night and a live Bluegrass band which we really enjoyed. The sites are tight. We were in site 64 in the woods and it was so narrow that our slide out touched a tree and we couldn't put up the canopy due to trees in the way. The site was relatively level. Some leveling blocks did the trick. We camped at Philadelphia / West Chester KOA in a Travel Trailer.

Overall Rating:
Stayed here July '05 for one week. Employees very helpful and friendly. The cleanest and nicest bathroom I have ever seen in a campground! The place is neat & well kept. There is a pool here but not much to do other than that. Game room was a disappointment to our 11 yr old - all that's in it is 3 or 4 very old arcade games probably from the 80's. No planned activities that we're aware. Would recommend & would stay here again. We camped at American Heritage RV Park in a Travel Trailer.

Overall Rating:
We found this to be a nice campground and we would definitely stay here again. I requested a pull through, wooded, level site and got everything requested. Sites are very tight and very packed together. If you have a big rig you'd have a hard time getting in and out. I would highly suggest requesting a site away from the septic processing facility. It's loud, ugly and smells bad. They had a nice pool, camp store, rec room, indoor basketball court, and mini civil war museum to name a few. They have a family movie in an indoor air conditioned theater once a day. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. We camped at Harpers Ferry / Civil War Battlefields KOA in a Travel Trailer.
Jonestown / Hershey NE KOA, Jonestown, Pennsylvania
Date of Stay:
September, 2004 -
Overall Rating:
We camped here Labor Day weekend 2004. There is a creek along the campground and you can go tubing without leaving the campground. That is about the only thing to do here. It is close to HersheyPark, Swatara State Park and other area attractions, so it?s an ok place to stay if you are day tripping somewhere else. We would not stay here with the intent of spending our days at the campground due to lack of activities & amenities here. When we stayed, the campground had a van that takes tubing and canoeing groups, with canoes/tubes available for rent. The campground was very noisy - we suspect (but haven?t unconfirmed) is it close to an offroad 4 wheeler/mx park, judging by the noise that went on all day & late into the night. The sites are level, and the campground is clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The camp store had a grill/food bar with the worst odor we have ever smelled in a food service facility due to apparently lack of exhaust. The entire camp store smells terrible and we avoided going in. Your clothes will smell strong of stale grease for a long time after you leave. We camped at Jonestown / Hershey NE KOA in a Travel Trailer.

Titled Dancing with the King: The rise and fall of the King Country, 1864-1885 (Auckland University Press, 2017), his book brings to light the little-known story of informal peace-making encounters over a 20-year period between the Crown and the second Māori King who governed the region as an independent state.
Professor Belgrave, who was awarded the prize last Thursday at the University of Melbourne, discovered stories and records featured in the book while he was working with South Waikato-based iwi Raukawa on their Treaty settlement a decade ago.
"I came across some extraordinary events, where thousands of people met over many days trying to make peace following the calamity of the Waikato War of 1863 and 1864," he says. "At these large meetings, native ministers and even the premier, Sir George Grey, were engaged in high-level diplomacy with King Tawhiao and other Māori leaders in attempts to reach a settlement.
"While this was happening, peace-making was also taking place at a much more personal level, with soldiers from both sides coming together and recounting their different experiences of the fighting. This was too good a story not to be told."
The AUD$13,000 prize for the most distinguished contribution to the history of Australia or New Zealand, or to the history of colonisation, published in the previous year was founded by Emily Scott. It was first awarded in 1943 in memory of her husband Emeritus Professor Ernest Scott, a history professor at the University of Melbourne from 1913 to 1936.
Professor Belgrave, who lectures in in the School of Humanities at Massey's Auckland campus, says he is "stunned" by being chosen for the prize, awarded by the history programme in the University of Melbourne's School of Historical and Philosophical Studies.
His book, also a finalist in New Zealand's 2018 Ockham Book Awards for General Non-Fiction, centres on the aftermath of the battle of Orakau in 1864 and the end of the war in the Waikato, when Tāwhiao and his supporters were forced into an armed isolation in the Rohe Pōtae, the King Country. For the following two decades, the King Country operated as an independent state – a land governed by the Māori King where settlers and the Crown entered at risk of their lives.
Only a handful of New Zealanders have been awarded the Ernest Scott Prize, including Professor James Belich (2002), Professor Anne Salmond (1998) and Dr Keith Sinclair (1958 and 1959).
"When I look at the list of earlier recipients of the Ernest Scott Prize, I see the names of many of those historians whose work inspired and fascinated me as a student in the 1970s," Professor Belgrave says. "They were storytellers whose histories marked key moments in Australia's and New Zealand's understanding of their separate and shared pasts."
Other finalists in this year's Ernest Scott Prize are: Shaunnagh Dorsett, Juridical Encounters: Māori and the Colonial Courts, 1840-1852 (Auckland University Press); Tim Rowse, Indigenous and Other Australians since 1901 (NewSouth); and Paul Irish, Hidden in Plain View: The Aboriginal People of Coastal Sydney (NewSouth).
"I'd like to think that this year's finalists, with their focus on indigenous histories and their relationship with colonisation, marks a recognition of the importance of these histories to both societies today," Professor Belgrave says.
Professor Belgrave's previous books includeHistorical Frictions: Māori Claims and Reinvented Histories (Auckland University Press, 2005) and From Empire's Servant to Global Citizen: A History of Massey University (Massey University Press, 2016), co-author of Social policy in Aotearoa New Zealand (Oxford University Press, 2008) and co-editor of The Treaty on the Ground: where we are headed, and why it matters (Massey University Press, 2017).

It is so cold and my body is so stiff and my mind gets so stiff. It's dark and dreary and I get really closed up and depressed usually. I can't be outside as much, which I need.
I am a runner and I did a turkey trot 5k for Thanksgiving which made that day so much better. But this week I am having severe energy problems. I last ran Saturday. I need to talk to my nutritionist about these I think, but I'm more scared she will just say I'm not doing enough and where did all my progress go......
I saw her on Monday and we talked about how I need more of a certain nutrient earlier in the day. I actively tried to accomplish that that day, but it is kind of a fear food related thing, so I didn't succeed. Tuesday, I was going to try again, but I had to take my husband to the ER and that threw everything related to food off cycle. Wednesday I did good early in the day, but I started to feel so incredibly tired and irritable. Tired isn't even the right word, fatigue, lethargic, something like that. Just this intense feeling that I barely have the energy to lift my arm. So that makes it harder to accomplish any goal I set for myself. Yesterday I accomplished my goal of a whole exchange rather than half in the morning, it was sooooo hard. But I did it. Then at work the lethargy was still there and I ended up going to bed at like 8 last night. I want to try, in my head, but it's like my body is sabatoging me. I was trying to listen to it and rest on Sunday after a huge week of runs, but now I feel like that has something to do with my lack of energy.
I might get tested for anemia like my husband mentioned.
I also should have started my period Monday or Tuesday. I replaced my birth control so that doctor said it's normal to have a flow interruption, but to call them back if it doesn't come by Monday.
I have gotten in pretty good shape, I can run well, but I am on campus at the library and it took everything I had in me to walk here from my car. I work until 9 tonight and I don't know how I can do it.
This week I turned down a food because of the calories...it's been a while since I'd done that. I don't know what to do with myself, I don't know if this is in my head or my body or what.
I went to a support group meeting last night, but I didn't talk at all because I was super uncomfortable with another member being there. I know that is my issue to deal with, but it still prevented me from sharing anything...
It is so cold and my body is so stiff and my mind gets so stiff. It's dark and dreary and I get really closed up and depressed usually. I can't be outside as much, which I need.
Hey Elephant_heart. It sounds like you're really having a tough time of it. I feel for you.
I want to preface this by saying that I am not at all a health professional.
Have you heard of something called Seasonal Affective Disorder? Its a condition that has symptoms that include lethargy, irritability, and may even affect appetite. It happens to people during the fall and winter seasons of the year. Many people theorize that it is due to a lack of sunshine during those times; a literal light deficiency. This time of year may even effect levels of vitamin D which can also have health consequences. I got some blood work done recently and I was actually deficient in vitamin D because of my skin complexion and life style.
As for seasonal affective disorder there are different treatments including light therapy, which is spending time in front of a special light box. It sounds silly but some people find it useful. Talking to your doctor about the disorder may be useful, especially if this seems to be something that occurs yearly.
Well, those are my two cents. Just wanted to bring it up if you weren't aware of it before. And as I said before, I am in no way a health professional so take what I say with a grain. Cheers.
- Adage
Thanks, that sounds like something definitely possible. I'll bring it up with the doctor I see on Friday possibly. Does it include itchy skin? Cause I also have that pretty bad. I just hate winter.
Light box sounds interesting, and preferable to iron pills...
I know having no appetite and not being able to eat is making me feel worse, but feeling bad makes me not able to eat well.
I'm scared to go back to my nutritionist.

As technology radically transforms interpersonal communication, the very tenets of marketing are getting redefined...
Aircel seems to have flooded the markets with its red and blue hoardings and kiosks dotting the whole city. They plastered Delhi with Mahendra Singh Dhoni's smiling face, they stole the front page of the Times of India and changed it to "Move on India". On 21st March, apart from TOI, Aircel had literally hijacked all Radio Channels & TV Channels with its advertisements. Many have used such "Ambush" marketing techniques earlier, however this time, Aircel did something else too. This Apollo Group-promoted brand went and connected itself with the youth – and where else to go other than Facebook. Aircel launched a voice message application on Facebook, which allowed friends to leave each other voice messages instead of just text messages. Within no time, it got 190 users to sign up for its voice mail application. Social networking sites are turning out to be lucrative options, where marketers can focus on their target groups, and that too, at very cheap rates.
Lets Face it!
Facebook has become a place where every college kid now hangs out. Its stickiness has improved with a user spending 190 minutes on an average on the site. Originally developed for college and university students, where you could log in only if you had a college e-mail id, Facebook is available to anyone with an email address today. So now there is an increase in the users of the 12-17 and 35+ demographic. So these social networking sites are attracting a lot of marketers, especially those who want to target the youth, for it's the young who have typically more free time to spend on a social networking site. So if you can do something interesting & creative, which catches the fancy of young minds, you can create a "friendly buzz" about your brand; something very necessary for a brand's survival and growth.
In Australia, when Nestle wanted to launch its new Kit Kat Chunky product targeted at teenage boys, it decided to not use any traditional media. According to its head of campaign marketing John Broome, five years ago, the advertising campaign would have included television, radio and outdoor; but today, things have changed. This time, the campaign includes a multi-player online game, online videos, mockumentaries (mock documentaries!!) and a mobile component to the website. With teenage boys spending, on an average, 13 hours a week playing games online, this was the perfect way to reach them. The advantage – if they liked you, they would refer you to their friends, who would like you too – 'coz their friends told them so. Though overall, Nestle spends about 10% of its media budget on the internet, but this time, of the $1 million kept aside for launching Kit Kat Chunky, it decided to spend 70% of the amount on the internet. Nano, the latest offering from the Tatas to hit the Indian roads, broke new grounds in design, engineering and production processes. Now it's using innovative ways to market and promote this unique Rs.1 lakh car. Unlike most small cars, Nano won't advertise on TV. It will instead focus on online Nano games, Nano chat rooms, Nano pop-ups and even enter into a conversation with young users on Facebook, Orkut and blog spaces. Nano wants to be synonymous with anything "small, cute and brief" and it's using the internet to help build this buzz about its brand, and probably this time, it's not gone wrong, for the networking sites triggered a gushy response from people all over the world, asking for a similar car in their land too!
P&G, the world's biggest advertiser, created a page on MySpace called "Miss Irresistible" to help market its Crest toothpaste. This way, it could connect with its users, potential users and along the way, gather market research. According to Wall Street, when the world's biggest advertiser turns towards a new medium, a whole lot of others are bound to follow
If you want to market to the kids, you need to know where they live. When the giant US retailer Target wanted to promote its "back toschool" merchandise, it decided to sponsor a page on Facebook. No advertising of merchandise here – just conversing with the young people and getting to know them. The page was given a theme of "Dorm Survival Guide" where students were given advice on how to design their dorms, how to cook, how their furniture should match their personality – so there was a personality test too; and of course, it said how pillow cases, and comforters (available at Target too) could help make them more comfortable in their dorms. Initially, they included photos of dorms designed by designers, but you could upload your dorm pics too. It attracted more than 7,000 members, lots of photos, and lots of positive discussions about the brand. Target realised that on Facebook, you don't sell first – you talk first. So it kept all discounts, promotions et al away from its Facebook page – and it worked. The community liked it.
JP Morgan Chase decided to market its credit cards with the help of Facebook and not its own website. To market to young people, you need to like them, and behave like them. You need to be relevant to their life. Its Facebook page gave advice to youngsters on how to use credit wisely, apart from earning points for joining Chase subgroups, et al.
Burger King created a page on MySpace and has more than 12,000 "friends", who can post comments and get to know of various deals et al.
If you thought these social networking sites are being used by companies to peddle their goods, you are wrong. From Microsoft to Goldman Sachs to Deloitte, everyone is on these, building their own alumi networks to encourage their old employees to join back. Deloitte found that 20% of its new recruitments consisted of boomerangs – i.e people who had worked with it earlier. In today's times, "Boomerangs" are a blessing. They know you, so it costs less to train them and they hit the ground running. Let's face it – it's difficult to stay away from Facebook & other such sites.
What are you doing now?
It seems like a mundane question – something you casually ask friends when you meet up – but it seems to have taken "netizens" by storm. This community is always looking for something exciting and new. Today it's so very outdated to "Blog". For netizens "it's so 2004!" The new, fun and interesting buzz about the wires seems to be to "twitter". Twitter. com seems to be the place where all the action is. With 1 million users and approximately 3 million messages posted daily, it seems to be the best combination of SMS and blogging. Its a simple concept – sounding ridiculous to many (especially the not-soyoung!). It was made with the idea of letting your friends and followers know what you are doing now – but it's catapulted into a rage for its over simplicity and convenience. You can "twitter" with your mobile or computer and know what your friends are doing now!
At first it sounds silly – why would anyone be interested in what you are doing? Think abut it; when Dalai Lama "twittered", it took His Holiness just two days to garner more than 20,000 followers. People twittered, "I'm sure HH will be as inquisitive about technology as he has been over the past 14 reincarnations." Of course, it was soon discovered to be a hoax and temporarily suspended. Incidentally, "God" and "Satan" also have their accounts on Twitter. They are yet to be verified for authenticity, but marketers world over are not leaving this interesting field to try their luck with increasing market share. After all, Barack Obama "tweeted" to encourage people to vote in the US election – and won!
Huge brands are using Twitter to get close to customers like "Whole Foods Market asks its friends & followers what they like to read & watch and informs them of various events coming up." Samsung uses Twitter to update you on latest company news. Southwest holds interesting discussions with its customers on Twitter; not necessarily related to travel. Comcast has put its service personnel's photo on its Twitter account & he offers you any help or support you require. Home Depot, too, uses Twitter to offer alternate customer support.
Twitter has a character limit of 140 – which is its best feature. Short, snappy and easy to follow is what makes Twitter work. So if your brand is not Twittering, you may be left out. Dell, Starbucks, many NGOs, are all out there finding out what their customers are doing right now, and how to engage them in a profitable conversation.
Google is feeling the heat and till it cannot buy up Twitter, it is also using it to its best advantage. Now Google provides a service whereby marketers can send their five most recent Tweets across the AdSense network. Intuit is one of the first to experiment with it. It works like this – when you see the advertisement of Intuit's Turbo Tax, you click on it and you go to the twitter page, not the company's official website. The idea is not to drive direct sales but to get people to "follow" Intuit. Once you befriend them, you can convert many into loyal customers.
Marketing is changing. Marketing is, after all, about communicating, and the way people are communicating with each other is changing. So rules of the game have to change. No one wants to be "Marketed" to nowadays. So if you really want to make a headway into new markets, you gotta stop marketing & start talking.
