text: Party of Fear vs. Party of Psychopaths by John Sexton 26 Apr 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to It's the Right That's Attempting to Scare the Public?: I agree with you about the last election. From vampire capitalism to the war on women it was a fear campaign. The Daisy ad, arguably the most extreme example of its type, was put out by the Johnson campaign in 1964. And yet each election cycle we hear far more about the Willie Horton ad, which looks quite reasonable by comparison. At the same time there is a definite push by the left to present conservatives as the party of fear and progressives as the party of data. Jon Stewart's rally in DC assumed this as a framework. I think it has become conventional wisdom among political writers on the left. The Tomasky article I highlighted shows it's lurking just beneath the surface as a grand unified theory of conservative mendacity. Meanwhile there is no one on the right arguing the contrary, i.e. a shrunken amygdala might explain the behavior of some progressives. Think of high profile individuals who are superficially charming, manipulative, seem to have a grandiose view of themselves and exhibit impulsive, immoral (perhaps even illegal) sexual behavior at tremendous personal and professional risk to themselves. I can immediately think of 5-6 nationally known Democrats who might fit the bill. It's not a diagnosis but it is the kind of broad correlation of behavior which is considered significant when applied to conservatives. Despite this you're unlikely to see any discussion of progressive behavior in unflattering medical terms. Has it ever occurred to folks like Michael Tomasky that there might be another side to the narrative about brains and politics? It doesn't seem that way.

You probably haven't read the hundreds of posts on this blog. I wouldn't expect anyone (other than me) to do that. But because of the reverse chronology of blogs, there may be posts you'd find valuable buried back in the archives. Here are a few.
Category Archives: Unconventional Marketing
Someone Like You
Don't worry, I'm not going to break into a song by Adele. This morning, as I read Seth Godin's post on extending the narrative, I latched onto one of his comments.
The socialite walks into the ski shop and buys a $3000 ski jacket she'll wear once. Why? Not because she'll stay warmer in it more than a different jacket, but because that's what someone like her does. It's part of her story. In fact, it's easier for her to buy the jacket than it is to change her story.
Once I recovered from the idea of paying $3000 for basically renting a jacket for a day, the idea of doing something "because that's what someone like [you] does." stuck with me. The phrase elucidates how we allow our lives to become parodies of ourselves. This is how we sleepwalk through vast segments of our life, only to awaken one day and not recognize the person we have become. A person living a life based on the expectations, desires and decisions of 'someone like you.'
When you think of living according to what you know deep inside yourself, how does that make you feel? Does it excite you or simply raise your blood pressure with anxiety? Does it fill you with ideas or simply leave you feeling like you're staring at an insultingly blank slate? Ask yourself why you feel this way. See if it connects with a deeper truth inside of you. It may be a truth you are unwilling to uncover from the shovels of dirt the world has piled on through the years.
If the idea scares you, perhaps it is because you have no clue what awaits under the lid of this box. I don't blame you for being nervous, but be aware that you may be leaving yourself buried alive in that box as you let "someone like you" walk away, continuing to live your life for you.
On Being Patronizing
I rented and watched the movie The Soloist the other day. I want to buy it now. My wife asked me if I really thought we would watch the film enough to justify buying it.
I don't.
I just want to support a good film and have it as a reminder of its message.
This made me thing about why I buy, or don't buy, certain things from certain places. I don't have the same intention to seek out and support something "good."
If we endorse what we buy, then shouldn't we buy what we endorse? As Seth Godin said, we get what we pay for.
Some of our most cherished works of art originated from the Renaissance. Without the Medici family, many of these works would not have been created. Lorenzo de Medici supported artists from Leonardo da Vinci to Michelangelo. So, without patrons, The Mona Lisa and the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel would not exist for our appreciation.
What we need today are "many micro-Medicis." We need small armies of patrons who recognize what they appreciate and are willing to support it. Buy from manufacturers with good labor standards. Buy from stores that support the community. Donate to churches involved in good work. Donate to candidates who not only stand on proper (however you define it) values… but prove it with the way they operate their campaign. And yes, purchase movies that communicate rich and powerful messages.
"Patronizing" should cease to connotate negativity. We should all aspire to be more patronizing.
A Way-Worthy Tribe
johnmoore of Brand Autopsy often cites whether a book is a Way-Worthy read or not.
Seth Godin suggests good bloggers create tribes.
I think that is why I haven't been satisfied with this blog the last 2-3 years. �It has not consistently been a way-worthy read and has not created a tribe.
Realizing this, I have a few options:
1. Make no major change of course. �I could keep writing mediocre pieces with a few gems (subjectively speaking) here and there.
2. Scrap it all. �I could consider my four years of blogging (3 1/2 years here) as a fun learning experience, but one which I now leave behind. �Pull the plug, let it die.
3. Grit my teeth and try harder. �I could give all kinds of excuses as to why I haven't put more time, effort or thought into this blog. �I just don't see any benefit to that. �Perhaps I should just get a grip and try harder.
4. Carry it forward. �I could look at what I've learned from this experience and view this period as a natural progression in the cycle. �Perhaps this horse has led me to a stream it is not willing or able to cross. �Using the same analogy, the best thing may be to dismount – cross the stream – and see if there's a ride on the other side.
I have a writing project I'm working on currently. �I often wonder if I could finish it and make it better if I didn't try to come up with ideas for this blog. �The concept I'm writing is so intriguing to me that I may even start a separate blog based on that idea.
No decisions yet, but I thought I'd give you some insight into why this blog is lingering.
Good In A Room
Sometimes it's harder to blog once a week than everyday. So, I'm going to start blogging as much as possible to get out of the funk I've been in. Should make things a bit more organic and not so planned.
Just read a Tom Peters "Cool Friends" interview from a few weeks ago with Stephanie Palmer, author of Good in a Room: How to Sell Yourself (and Your Ideas) and Win Over Any Audience.
Here are a few of my favorite nuggets from the interview:
tompeters.com asks …
Stephanie, what's the big idea here?
SP: "Good in a room" describes anyone who presents themselves and their ideas effectively. The phrase originated in Hollywood and it's used by agents and producers to describe people who pitch ideas well. I teach people to use, in their own industry, the tactics that work in Hollywood.
Tom Peters has espoused the elevator pitch as one of the supporting columns of Wow Projects. The goal of the elevator pitch being, if you get into an elevator on the first floor with your boss and you're trying to sell an idea, you want to sell it by the time you get to the 35th floor. You say the elevator pitch is a myth. Why is that?
SP: I think the term "elevator pitch" incorrectly implies that it's appropriate to pitch in an elevator. Communicating quickly and concisely is important, but you should never pitch when you don't have time to continue the conversation. A moment's access with someone who doesn't know you is not an opportunity. Your first interaction with someone sets the stage for the relationship to come. You shouldn't start pitching your idea to someone before they know who you are enough to care about what you're saying in the first place.
High-level buyers are pitched all the time. They know when they are hearing something that's been repeated to dozens of other people. If you haven't taken the time to build rapport and customize your pitch to that person's specific needs, it's a sign that you're an amateur. Every buyer is unique, and your pitch should reflect that.
You also say that networking is a waste of time. Why?
SP: I think most people who think they're successful as a result of using traditional networking techniques succeed in spite of those techniques, not because of them. Traditional networking is generally a quantity-based approach. The idea is that if you meet enough people, accumulate enough names, you will eventually find people who are a good fit. On the surface this makes sense; you'd need a large pipeline of people because statistically only a few of them would be a right fit for your business. It's a bulk mail strategy, sending out a lot of letters and seeing what comes back. But bulk mail is expandable, whereas we are not. The bulk mail approach doesn't work so well in establishing genuine relationships because we only have so much time.
Therefore, instead of spending small amounts of time with lots of people, I suggest spending more time with fewer, carefully chosen people. Use a quality based approach. Upgrade from bulk mail to a handwritten letter with a first class stamp.
But in as much as you don't believe in the standard group theory of networking, you do still have a network. You categorize people a little differently than most people's A, B, and C lists. Could you describe your system?
SP: I don't like using the terminology of A, B, and C groups, simply because I know that I don't want to be on anyone's C list, and I don't think that anyone else does, either. I start with Good People to Know, which is anybody who I think for any reason might be someone I would like to know in the future. It may be someone whom I've met at a conference or a barbecue. If I think that person is really interesting for whatever reason, business or personal, I'm going to include them in my Good People to Know.
If I meet someone, and I know that I have no interest in them, I'm not going to include them in my rolodex or keep tabs on them. Doing so is like being a relationship pack rat. I'm not looking to have the world's largest network so that I can brag, "Oh, I have 10,000 people in my list." I want to be more focused.
My next group I call the VIPs. Those are people whom I would like to have a business relationship with, but maybe I don't know them. They're my target list. Twenty people is the maximum that you should have on your VIP list.
My last group, and most important, is the Inner Circle. Those are the people that are closest to you, who support you professionally and personally. Those are the relationships that I spend the most time nurturing. Their support has been the most valuable for me, personally and professionally.
It looks like a worthwhile book, so I'm buying a copy. Might write my own review when I finish it.

SnapThought 5/15/08
Just a couple of quickies today (gotta work hard to impress the new boss).
I had some Internet issues this week. This page came up as I tried to access Yahoo!
Based on a search by Yahoo!, it no longer exists?? For a minute, I wondered if Microsoft had bought them out.
About a 1/2 mile from my house is Tom Peters Elementary school. Can you imagine, err… RE-imagine, the education kids get there? They should at least learn to use bright colors, 64 point type and exclamation points!!!!

Pumpkin queen
A pumpkin queen may be either a fictional character or a real person associated with a variety of beauty contests held in North America.
"The Great Queen Pumpkin" served as a major character in the film Curse of Halloween.[1] In R. L. Stine's Haunting Hour: Don't Think About It, "Priscilla is crowned Pumpkin Queen."[2] Recently, Marlane Kennedy published the book Me and the Pumpkin Queen.[3][4][5]
A longer-standing tradition of more than a half dozen pumpkin shows and festivals in various American states are pageants to determine the show or festival's Pumpkin Queen. While this tradition goes back to at least the 1930s, usage of the title "Pumpkin Queen" has increased dramatically after 2000.[original research?] Many of these shows and festivals have attendance figures in at least the tens and in some cases hundreds of thousands, a number of who come to see the crowning of the show or festival's new "Queen."[citation needed] These ladies usually also participate in some kind of major parade associated with their respective festival or show. Pumpkin Queens from the more prominent shows and festivals also attend other food festivals and parades in their states while serving as representatives of their respective pumpkin festival or show. These ladies also receive a good deal of local and in some cases regional media attention and are representative of a well-established autumnal tradition in North America and possibly elsewhere. Information and products associated with the many pumpkin queens have appeared throughout the World Wide Web and even on such prominent sites as eBay.[citation needed]
Major Festivals and Shows[edit]
The Circleville Pumpkin Show, the oldest and arguably most prestigious pumpkin show with some kind of a Miss Pumpkin Show contest, has been held annually since 1903 (except during World War II).[6][7][8][9] Other notable pumpkin shows and festivals featuring contests in which winners can become pumpkin queens include Confluence PumpkinFest (2003–2006),[10][11] Danbury Pumpkin Harvest (1966),[12] Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival, 2006: Huntsburg Pumpkin Festival Queens[13][14] The Barnesville Pumpkin Festival (1964–2006),[15][16][17][18][19][20][21] The Bradford Pumpkin Show (-2006),[22][23] The Halloween Pumpkin Princess Tea and Pageant (1965–2007),[24] The Spring Hope National Pumpkin Festival (1971–2006),[25][26][27] The Versailles Pumpkin Show (1902–2005),[28] The West Virginia Pumpkin Festival (1985–2006),[29][30] and Tioga Pumpkin Festival (2006).[31]

This is my mildly modified 4X4 Crawler. It is made entirely with just the pieces of one 4X4 Crawler set. I created my own custom bodywork for this set. (I took apart my previous design to make this. Frankly, I think this one is much better!) In addition to new bodywork, I have switched the first two gears in the gear chain to give it more speed, yet still have a good amount of torque. (The gear change is NOT shown in the pictures, but you can try it yourself. Take the first 12 tooth to 20 tooth gear ratio out and put it back in opposite; the 20 tooth gear will be where the 12 tooth gear was and vice versa.) P.S: Sorry for the blurry pictures; I have no idea why that happened!

Thanks for the excellent update and comments! Good start to the week. Today's episode was a rehash and throwback to last year in more ways than one.
It was great enjoyable watch to see the vagrants chasing GW from "their place" as she was sitting alone. MM wife walking and talking herself like a nomad is just a portrayal/trailer before the main picture- which is yet to be made.
MM (?!?) ..is a spineless born loser and worthless dead wood, no wonder B ranaway. Nothing can be worse torture to T'n'TA than to have scums and thrash like MM and GW as parents. Even M showed emotion and anger not wanting to send T late in the night. The dud yaks about his inability to choose between his wife (?!? - real joke) & T and yaps crap about T's native house.. his duty and asks her to come back again.. to be humiliated. He has never been a father to T and never will be. The moron needs to suffer as much as his wife.
Star of the day: T was outstanding today showing a range of emotions. It was sad when Patti said she didn't even have her meal @ there place. When T said she will go to her house, really awesome .. for her life starts and end with TA.
It will be great to watch Patti & T together. T beaming and smiling proudly as Patti kudos her culinary skills improvement [TA eating worthless food in the company of D] and the way she runs her family. BGM in the end was good. As patti speaks, T wells up, really misses TA. As TA rightly said, T's affection and devotion towards TA is beyond words and comprehension...

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) - The largest warship in Great Britain's Royal Navy is making a monthlong stop at the Jacksonville area's Mayport Naval Station.
The crew of the HMS Ocean is about halfway through its deployment. Members are spending time in Mayport to fix up the vessel, train and relax after a long Atlantic crossing.
The HMS Ocean serves as Great Britain's only helicopter-focused amphibious assault ship. The United Kingdom has other amphibious ships of different classes and types.
The ship's upcoming mission will include bringing along two different types of Lynx helicopters and different land vehicles and seacraft. The more than 370 sailors also plan conferences in Brazil, conducting operations in Sierra Leone and handling maritime security in the Gulf of Guinea.

What was old is new again. The Burt Reynolds 'stache. Polyester. The Pet Rock. Okay, you might not see a revival of the eight-track tape, but you will see a lot of current young bands picking up and incorporating a lot of the wild experimentation happening within mainstream rock and pop of the '70s. Punk, New Wave, disco, and prog rock all lived together in an uneasy harmony, and it's all finding its way into the heady music of Midlake. Straight out of the heyday of '70s harmony groups like Fleetwood Mac and Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Texas quintet resurrects brilliant three-part vocal arrangements in its laid-back, acoustic pop, layered with a thin veneer of humming '70s synths. Lead vocalist Tim Smith along with McKenzie Smith (drums), Paul Alexander (bass), Eric Nichelson (keyboards) and Eric Pulido (guitar) lays down strummy acoustic indie pop as seen through rose-colored lenses. The group's latest disc, The Trials of Van Occupanther, finds Midlake honing its songwriting skills and gaining a national following along the way. So pull up a beanbag chair and cue up a few reruns of The Brady Bunch on Betamax tape if you can.

Chinese Rock Lyrics - The Ramones
Review The Song (1)
Somebody calls me on the phone
Saying hey-hey-hey is arty home
You wanna take a walk
You wanna go cop
You wanna go and get some Chinese rock
I'm livin' on a Chinese rock
All my best things are in hock
I'm livin' on a Chinese rock
Everything is in the pawn shop
The plasters fallin' off the wall
My girlfriends cryin' in the shower stall
It's hot as a bitch
I should've been rich
But I'm just diggin' a Chinese ditch

Ene Of The Century | Reviewer: Shazzer | 10/15/2006
This is a great cover for the Johnny Thunders original. Also The Ramones' re-release and remastered 'End Of The Century' CD, originally produced by Phil Spector, has some real goodies on the tail end of it. As follows:Danny Says, I'm Affected, Please Don't Leave, All The Way and finally Do you remember Rock and Roll Radio? are all demos, they sound like it but because the engineering is different than the original cuts it brings a newness and a quality of vitization to the Ramones sound that remains unparalled. This CD is worth buying. I Love The Ramones, ask yourself, Do I?

Stoner confirmed 2012 will be his last in MotoGP in Le Mans last week having decided to quit because of his disillusionment with constant rule changes and future plans to dumb down the adrenaline pumping...

Poor, GTYC – yet another who doesn't realise he's been fed bovine dung ... apologies to Bob B for yet another "novel" - but truth has to be told ...
Max Biaggi did AOK on 2002's YZR-M1 in 4 stroke's first year. Max got 2 x 1sts, 4 x 2nds & 2 x 3rds (that's an almost 50% Podium-getting strike rate. Add in other regular points-getting finishes - & how's that for an allegedly crap bike?) - finishing 2nd overall to VR on the truly superb 5 cylinder HRC RC211V.
Two things stand out here –
1); patently, it obviously wasn't that the Yamaha was a BAD or even an UNCOMPETITIVE bike prior to 2004 either – especially so - when Biaggi left for Honda – leaving no top-flight rider left to do the YZR-M1 any justice whatsoever in 2003. What so many forget - is that in the 2003 season there were no less than 8 x riders on the Honda RC211V – 4 x factory & 4 x Satellite. Sheer numbers & the depth of the Honda talent pool, as well as the quality of that bike, meant everyone else on whatever marque would struggle to make ANY impact... Barros got a 3rd @ Le Mans on the M1 but that was it – but he made many suggestions in developing it. So, the success of Rossi in 2004 wasn't just the "alleged retina-burning, supernova- bright legend of rider & team development" or even Batman & Robin dynamic duo act come to "save" Yamaha. No doubt they helped get the bike the way VR wanted it & felt comfortable - but that was all.
2); the single biggest improvement to the YZR-M1 for 2004 - was the major change in engine firing order via the new "cross-plane" crank configuration - making it much more "responsive, predictable & rideable". This was phased @ 270-180-90-180 degrees – a V4-mimicking "long bang" engine. Yamaha had also dropped the 5 valve head layout & went with the industry standard of 4 valves per cylinder - which performed "better" – despite a fortune spent in "street bike advertising & marketing" extolling the 5 valve system.
As well, a change in engine positioning allowed Yamaha "development" honcho's, Koichi Tsuji & the newly-arrived technical boss, Masao Furusawa to concentrate on "engineering" & providing a terrific "package" to combat & compete with the dominant Honda RC211V. The fuelling had already been changed - from carburetors to the more "control systems-compatible" fuel injection too. This all helped tame the "engine-braking" & stability issues of the previous iteration

"I do know something...that Stoner doesn't. It's called perseverance. And VR is just an easy reference."
VR's been in GP racing for how many years now?... as a major player with the influence you're saying that brings he's seen it go slowly downhill to the stage it's at now... is that what perseverance gets you? How quickly do you think the current situation will take for the series to get back to where it was? This isn't Stoner's 2nd year... he's gained the title twice through nurturing his skill & perseverance over 12 years in GP & 10 years earlier when he started racing... that's over twice the time you've even been on a bike... but you know perseverance & Stoner doesn't.
You want to experience real perseverance then try reading to the bottom of, not one, but two of Aquarius's posts...

It seems that Crutchlow is becoming the go to man in MotoGp for MCN. Becoming quite the oracle. So far I have to agree with most of what he has said. Becoming quite the oracle. Stoner the outright fastest and what he does on a bike is amazing, Valentino still one of the best going around and what Stoner has done takes balls…
What many also seem to forget, or may not even know is that at last post race press conference last year, Stoner was asked by an Italian journo what he thought about the new CRT rules and the regulations being muted by Dorna for 2012 and beyond. His response was more or less was that he thought it was a bad thing and he didn't like it at all and that he would rather go and do something else if MotoGp went ahead. For him MotoGp was about prototypes, the best bikes with the best riders in the world and that if he wanted to race superbikes he would of gone there to race them…
Agree or disagree with the new CRT, the fact is that at the moment it is second rate compared to the prototypes. It is a very slow category within a category. Apart from De Puniet and Edwards who arguably could be retired or moving on to other racing, particularly the later, the guys riding out there are not even in the next tier of riders and no disrespect they are still talented, but they would be struggling to get a gig with good teams in superbike or moto2. Would a Luthi, Redding, Marquez, Iannone or even the top riders from WSBK jump on a CRT in their current state or even next year while they are up against the prototypes??? Not a chance!!! To be honest, if they do go to CRT rules and no longer prototypes, MotoGp will loose it's advantage to the production series.
As for Stoner deserting a sinking ship, or moving on when the sport needs him most is a lot of tripe. He is doing what no other rider has the balls to do. Make a stand and say not for me but good luck to you. A while making that stand has said Dorna, you need to take responsibility for the big f'up. Going from 500 two strokes to 1000's had a commercial sense, but then going down to 800's to go back to 1000's again makes none at all. Remember Kawasaki and Suzuki dropped out when the last two changes occurred. They weren't prepared to sink all that extra investment in developing completely new prototypes.
And for f'sake if Dorna really wanted to control costs and make it a more even playing field then start introducing annual budget caps for both the racing and then the development side of things. With significant penalties for those that cheat. Try and keep the rules and regs as consistent as possible from season to season with no major changes to engine capacityor other major design and development requirements.
Other sports have implemented budget and salary caps effectively not only to control costs but also even the playing field. With a more even playing field, the likes of Suzuki and Kawasaki just might come back to the fray, and maybe even BMW and others would consider joining. But at the moment if you were BMW would you be looking at a prototype now that there is CRT being developed and the future of each is unclear. Probably not because there is no certainty and to be competitive at the top level at the moment you need huge budgets; there is not enough sponsorship and then not enough satellite teams around that can afford to lease the bikes at their current price given their development costs. Or then there is CRT. What would you prefer, what do you think all of the current riders and younger guys coming through would prefer?

That's what Casey is and like it or leave it ...... here is the ultimate example of what that means.
The #1 rider in the world is calling it quits because he hates the way the owners of MotoGP are taking the sport he loves. Or should that be used to love.
Sure - he doesn't need the money or covet the attention, but it is still a big call. I am a Casey fan but I have mixed feelings about this. On the one hand it may make Dorna take a good look at themselves in the roomful of mirrors, which might lead to a better outcome for fans and competitors alike. Unfortunately I am not so optimistic and fear that the series will continue its decline.
I think the suggestion of budget caps is a good one, as it will encourage participation and innovation which is what this series is supposed to be about. We already have SBK for production machines so why on earth would you want to create a pale imitation of it? If Cal is accurate and the other riders' agree with most of what Casey is saying, then are we guilty of being spectators of the MotoGP Hunger Games?
Ok - I am drawing a long bow here (I'll stop it now - promise) but we all seem to have been saying much the same thing. So how about we give Dorna similar feedback - either sort this shit out or we we be taking our business elsewhere and you will be left with a dead goose.

"are these the wise words of a future World Champion?"
No they are the words of someone who has already won a world championship, and is currently beating the rider who finished 3rd in MotoGP last year on the same (if you don't count the brake upgrade) bke.
He is merely pointing out that Dorna's management of the series is not going in the direction that the best riders in the world would prefer.
Well done Cal, and respect to Casey for saying it like it is.

this guy really really funny man. i cann't stop laugh when read his statement. and it's controversial one to another. just funny shit.
first he said, he didn't want to say like stoner cause he need the job for next year (i cann't stop laugh like shit. this guy has balls more than hayden) and the next thing he said is, he agree with what stoner said. hello??? isn't it he already said something just the same like stoner??? LOL. this guy is very very funny.
10 thumbs up for him if i has 10!! LOL.
post more of his comment. i'll read it for sure. LOL.
Some people seem to be missing a major point about Stoner's retirement here. It's only a really big deal for the series IF he wins the championship this year. In any sport everybody wants to beat the reigning champion. So if the reigning champ retires the sport really suffers. However if an ex champion retires, sure the sport suffers but not nearly as much.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) - Haitian presidential candidates courted Haitian-Americans' money and influence in a debate at a Tampa Bay college.
Haiti's presidential elections are scheduled to be held Nov. 28. There are 19 candidates seeking to become president of the Caribbean country struggling to recover from a January earthquake that killed as many as 300,000 people and left more than 1.5 million homeless.
Five candidates participated in a forum Saturday at Eckerd College in St. Petersburg. It was broadcast live online to more than 160 radio stations in the U.S., Canada, France, Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
Haitian-Americans cannot vote in their homeland, but they can raise money for candidates and influence their friends and family in Haiti.

Data Centers get 'black box' flight data recorder
It's like airplane's "black box" flight data recorder. But it's for data centers. Israeli startup Axxana has developed an black box recorder to store enterprise data in real-time, so that it's recoverable in the event of a data center disaster. When disasters strike data centers, data that has not yet been transmitted to a …
So now when terrorists fly a data-center into government buildings we will have secure backups, I love it!!!!!
When vendors talk about complete datacentre loss these days, the WTC towers are often referred to. In that instance, even assuming that this thing survived the blast, fire, drop x hundred feet, and crushing by debris, how long was it before it could have been located to retrieve the data, at least a couple of months wasn't it? Maybe I'm just thinking too extreme... impressive bit of kit though.
I'm sure the Palestinians will be ordering a few from their missile lobbing overlord neighbours.
Paris coz I'm sure she'd like some 500lb rods piercing her..
40G is not that much
Unless I've made an error in some very basic algebra, if you drop an object from a height of one metre onto a surface that is strong enough and hard enough to stop that object in 2.5 cm, then the object suffers a deceleration of 40G. Most postal and shipping services do worse than that ...
I've heard of this before...
...did they get the idea from the "Golden Girl" episode of "The IT Crowd"
You gotta love their timing
Earthquake in Italy, collapsed buildings and rubble strewn streets: the perfect scenario for demonstrating the advantages of a device like this.
Should be easy for 3 or 4 guys to climb into the remains of a datacentre, lift out this 180Kg block and then carry it half a mile down the street to where the police cordon forced them to leave their truck.
/ I'll take two!
missing the point ?
I think some contributors missied the mention of an antenna and a cellular capability - maybe you don't need to recover it fully
Slightly confused...
"Axxana says the result is ... no data loss whatsoever. It won't however promise 100 per cent data protection."
Is this not a contradiction?
Mine's the one with the "Data Protection for Dummies" book in the pocket.

AIG? What's an AIG? I Don't Even Know What You're Talking About.
Washington won't have AIG to kick around anymore.
So, it'll have to start kicking around AIU instead…
While it remains to be seen whether the move will distance the insurer from its many scandals, AIG will now be called AIU Holdings Ltd.
Over the weekend, workmen removed the sign from the company's Water Street offices; it has yet to install the sign carrying its new name.
Isn't that cool how all you have to do is change one letter in your your name and all of a sudden, you're a completely different entity?
It's truly amazing. Every single little bit of my anger at those self-serving assholes has suddenly melted away. I'm not even a little bit infuriated anymore. It musta been that G. That G must have been the problem all along.

Brazil leader seeks industry investment boost via loans
President Dilma Rousseff announced the extension of a government lending program to boost purchases of capital goods, telling business leaders Brazil must increase industrial investment if it is to restore vigorous economic growth.The world's sixth-largest economy grew much less than expected in the third quarter, despite a barrage of tax breaks and other stimulus measures taken by Rousseff this year.
Economists say the once-booming economy grew for a decade by expanding consumption and Brazil must now raise investment levels that are much lower than those of other emerging markets.
In a speech to the country's main industrial lobby, Rousseff called on the private sector to invest more despite a period of slow economic growth that is in its second year.
Brazil will continue in 2013 a special lending program by the state development bank BNDES that lowers the cost of capital goods for industries and raise its resources to more than 80 billion reais ($37.90 billion), Rousseff told business leaders in event organized by the National Industry Confederation (CNI).
She said Finance Minister Guido Mantega would formally announce the details of the extension of the program, known as PSI.
"Next year industrial growth will have to be much stronger. The country needs to increase its investment rate," she said.
Rousseff said the current favorable mix of record low interest rates and a weaker exchange rate for the Brazilian real prepared the ground for increased production in the country. She said the incentives that her government has given to the economy needed time to produce results.
The speech, which tackled her government's efforts to revive Brazil's sputtering economy following disappointing data, was one of her most important policy addresses in recent months, a senior government official said.
Brazilian industrial output posted its first annual increase in more than a year in October as a tax break on autos helped support a nascent recovery in the country's beleaguered manufacturing sector.
But investment remains weak, raising doubts about strong recovery forecast by the government for next year.
Rousseff's government exempted the country's construction industry from paying payroll taxes. The aim is to encourage investment in building and lower the prices of homes.
She said her government will unveil a new regulatory framework aimed at attracting private investment to modernize Brazil's overcrowded ports and eliminate bottlenecks that raise transport costs and slow Brazil's exports.
By the end of the year, new private concessions will be announced to upgrade airports, she said.
The government also plans to extend a tax refund for exporters of manufactured goods though the next year, an administration official said at the event.
Rousseff also vowed to continue her efforts to reduce Brazil's very high energy costs and complained about the companies that have resisted the government's terms for the renewal of concessions for power utilities.
"The federal government regrets the insensitivity of those who do not appreciate the importance of this for the country to grow in a sustainable way," the president, who a trained economist, told her audience of businessmen.
The government had hoped to lower energy costs for residential and commercial consumers by an average of 20 percent as of next February, helping curb inflationary pressures and lowering a major cost that has made Brazilian industry less competitive.
But after several utilities rejected the government offer for early renewal of their concessions in exchange for charging lower rates, the government has acknowledged that it will only be able to cut electricity costs by 16.7 percent.
Critics of the new concession regime would reduce investment needed to expand Brazil's electricity generating capacity. (Reuters)

The theme for this year's Early Bird Online Re-registration is "ROARING into Girl Scouts."
Early Bird Re-Registration has now ended. Early Bird patches will be distributed by the Service Units in late summer. 'On time' re-registration is currently underway for the 2014-2015 Girl Scout year. For questions about re-registration, contact the Council Registrar, Mileneda Joseph at firstname.lastname@example.com.
How does Spring come in? Like a lion! So this year, Girl Scouts is celebrating Spring by ROARING into Early Bird Re-Registration. This is the time for currently registered girls and adults to re-register for the 2014-2015 Girl Scout year and earn awesome new incentives and rewards. Early Bird happens from April 15 – May 31, 2014. It's only for those girls and troops who are registered as of April 14, 2014. Troop Leaders can re-register the troop within e-Council, the GSSEF online membership database, in one fast and easy transaction using the troop debit card.
Important – Please Read: The e-Council database is fully compatible with Internet Explorer 10.

Early Bird FAQ's
Why Early Bird?
Mainly because it makes so much sense – as you can see:
- Troops that participate in Early Bird Re-registration benefit from the opportunity to get an early start on the next Girl Scout year.
- Early re-registration ensures girls a place in the troop and allows the Leader to know how many new girls she can add throughout year.
- Troops may utilize funds from the troop treasury to easily re-register everyone with the money earned together all year long.
- For families that pay for their girl to be re-registered as an individual or within her troop, we find that there are fewer financial burdens in the Spring than in the Fall (i.e. back-to-school uniforms, supplies, etc).
- There are also exciting NEW incentives and rewards available for every troop and girl who participates in Early Bird online re-registration!
When will the Early Bird Patches be distributed?
Patches will be distributed by the Service Units in late summer.
How will I re-register?
All GSSEF Troop Leaders, with registered troops as of April 14, will receive an email invitation on April 15 with a direct link into e-Council and your Troop Roster where you can re-register girls and adults for the 2014-2015 Girl Scout year. Leaders will update any girl and/or adult information, then complete the re-registration transaction in a few simple steps. If you do not have your user ID and password, please contact Sandra Tweedy at email@example.com.

Five mysterious letters received by the Kansas Department of Social and Rehabilitation Services in Wichita were straightforward.
