DJ E SMOOVE PRESENTS - HEAVY D - NOTHING BUT LOVE TRIBUTE MIX
DJ E SMOOVE PRESENTS - HEAVY D - NOTHING BUT LOVE TRIBUTE MIX by djsmoove-1
The only rival to his larger-than-life appearance was the oversize delivery of his soulful rhyme,Heavy D, along with a trio known as The Boyz (Glen Parrish, Troy Dixon, and Edward Ferrell) racked up a string of hits during the early part of 1990s. But more importantly, their successes helped to set the foundation for other artists to follow and ushered what many called the golden age of hip-hop. He was a relentlessly positive rapper. You and your mom could both like him. And this was true to the very end, even when it came to his Twitter page. RIP!
In memory of this Hip-Hop Pioneer, one of Tokyo’s top DJs, DJ E SMOOVE has put together a tribute mixtape that is sure to bring back those good memories of The Overweight Lover. You can listen to it here or scroll down to find the download link.

More Than Half of U.S. Children Under Age 2 Are Of Color
Preliminary 2010 census estimates show that, for the first time, more than half of the children under age 2 in the U.S. are minorities, part of a sweeping race change and a growing age divide between mostly white, older Americans and fast-growing younger ethnic populations that could reshape government policies.

AU IS03 Android 2.2 Update!
Link to the Japanese information is here 日本語へのリンクはこちら http://www.kddi.com/corporate/news_release/2011/0406/index.html
On April 6th, AU by KDDI announced that their Sharp IS03 smartphone will at last be receiving an update to Android version 2.2. This press release is only in Japanese and the instructions on how to update the phone are also in Japanese. Not a problem you would think but, A majority of users of this phone are unable to read Japanese. For those people I post this blog. I would recommend backing up your contacts and emails before you updatebecause you never know what can happen when updating your gadgets. Also, AU added a disclaimer stating that they cannot be held responsible for your loss of data. Be careful and HAPPY UPDATING
The following are the update instructions translated to English, Hope it helps:
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR IS03 (日本語へのリンクはこちら)
This update cannot be done from the "IS03" by itself. On April 14th go to Sharp's update page http://k-tai.sharp.co.jp/download/tools/updatetool/a/is03/index.html on your computer. Download the update tool and connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable.
(1) Install the USB driver for your phone (If you haven’t already)
(2) Install the PC update tool
(3) run the update tool ("IS03" Update)
(4) You may have to re-install some of your applications and widgets after the update. So back them up if possible.
Remember, The update URL will NOT be active until April 14, 2011 (Thursday) at 10:00 am.
