Before the Millennium
Revelation 20 doesn't stand on its own. Within the narrative of John's vision, the millennium is preceded by the judgment of the "beast" (the Roman empire) and the "false prophet" (the Caesar cult) in 19:11-21. To read chapter 20 apart from chapter 19, as most amillennialists have traditionally done, is to miss the context of the millennium entirely. Whether amillennialist or premillennialist, however, most readers have understood the judgment scene of chapter 19 to refer to Christ's second advent. But is that what John intended? I don't believe so.
At this point both amillennialists and premillennialists have been guilty of confusing the visionary and symbolical levels of the text with the referential level by their insistence that this scene portrays a more or less literal forecast of historical events. Clearly, the messianic portrait of 19:11-16 has a more direct correspondence to its referent than the vision of the slain lamb in chapter 5, since it describes Christ with the physical characteristics of a human being. But both descriptions are symbolic in the sense that they are visionary images written up with multiple echoes of biblical and post-biblical tradition, which means that we should not assume photographic realism as much as impressionistic and kaleidoscopic depictions of reality. John's narrative contains images which represent things that existed, exist, or will exist in the real world. But his experience and the images themselves should not be confused with the realities which they represent.
On this note, R. J. McKelvey points out that many of the commonest features of the early parousia tradition, and the OT passages from which they came, are absent from Revelation 19—like the motifs of a cloud theophany, a great trumpet call, the gathering of the saints, and (most significantly) the restoration of creation (McKelvey 78-9). Instead, John's portrait draws primarily from the "Divine Warrior" passages throughout the OT, a tradition expressed most often in connection with the judgment of nations within continuing history (e.g. Psalm 2; Isa. 63; Ezek. 1; Hab. 3). John has combined that Jewish tradition with the Greco-Roman portrait of a victory procession (e.g. the white horse and red robe) in order to parody the pomp of Rome and boldly proclaim its downfall (Fee 274). The inability of most commentators to see anything but the physical return of Jesus in this passage is a sign of the wide cultural gap that exists between the literary norms of our world and the prophetic tradition which was John's native language.
The Roaring Lamb
Beyond the question of John's intended referent in Revelation 19:11-21, there is also the question of its theology. Scholars often debate whether this scene portrays retributive judgment or nonviolent triumph, but I think this presents a false dichotomy. Revelation's theology of judgment is shaped by the cross, so that God's wrath upon injustice is released by the lamb who was slain. Jesus triumphed over his oppressors through allowing them to do their worst to him, but Jesus himself seems to have believed that this nonviolent response contained within it the retributive judgment of God—by allowing his oppressors to commit themselves to a cycle of violence which would eventually come back upon their own heads, as the judgment of God in the form of a military invasion (e.g. Luke 19:41-44; 23:28-31; John 12:31).
Revelation is permeated with this same cruciform theology of judgment. Just as John sees God's victory over Satan in the sufferings of the crucified Messiah (Rev. 5:5-6; 7:9-10; 12:7-11), so also he sees God's victory over Rome, Satan's earthly representative, through the sufferings of those who "follow the lamb wherever he goes" and conquer "by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death" (12:7-11; 14:4; cf. 20:4). While the visionary image in 19:11-21 is of a messianic army dressed in white and conquering the enemy by a giant flying sword, the historical referent of the image is the triumph of Jesus' testimony, borne out by the martyrs, over the idolatry of the Empire and the Imperial Cult—a retributive judgment through nonviolent resistance. Coals of fire are heaped upon the head of the beast and his followers through the faithful witness of those who refuse to take his mark or worship his image.
While this scene of judgment meets the faithful as a promise of vindication, however, it meets others as an urgent call to repentance (cf. 3:2-3; 16:15). This passage forms the angelic response to the embarrassing episode of 19:10, in which John himself nearly succumbs to the lure of idolatry. As the seer, John stands as the representative of the churches which he addresses, and his stumbling thus stands as a warning for them; the vision of the rider on the white horse reveals how God will respond to those who do not repent of their idolatry. As Jesus said to the church in Pergamum, prefiguring this scene: "Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth" (2:16).
The Binding of the Dragon
Following John's narrative into 20:1-3, we are warned once more not to confuse the visionary and symbolical levels with the referential level by simply picturing Satan himself bound in chains and imprisoned for a thousand years. To imagine this, and to thereby speak (as both amillennialists and premillennialists are guilty of doing) of the binding of Satan, runs the risk of a gross confusion of categories. Satan is not bound in Revelation 20; the dragon which represents Satan is bound. If we read the text historically, the binding and imprisonment of the dragon most naturally refers to the removal of the deceiving power which Satan held over the nations through the religion of Rome. The dragon is called "the deceiver of the whole world" in 12:9 and 20:3, and according to 13:14 it is through the false prophet (who looks like a lamb but speaks like a dragon) that he "deceives those who dwell on the earth, telling them to make an image for the beast." With the judgment of Rome and the end of the idolatrous Caesar Cult, therefore, Satan's primary seat of authority is removed, his hands and feet tied, so that Jesus' testimony can shine forth unhindered.
Thus, with Daniel 7 as his backdrop, John is showing that the suffering of the saints carries greater weight in God's court than the brutal strength of Empire, and that through their witness the case of their accuser is reversed so that he, and not they, will eventually suffer the sentence of imprisonment and death (cf. 13:10). This reading also makes for a coherent interpretation of Satan's release at the end of the millennium (which, incidentally, the standard amillennial reading fails to do): the point is that once again, just like in the first century, there will be a widespread, systemic intolerance to the gospel of the Messiah, as well as a virulent attack against the covenant community that bears and proclaims his name.
The Verdict of Heaven
After the judgment of the beast and the imprisonment of the dragon, John then shows us the other side of the great reversal of fortunes: the vindication of the martyrs (20:4-6). One of the primary questions modern interpreters ask at this point is whether John has all the saints in mind or only the martyrs, but McKelvey is right to point out that this question probably never entered John's head (82). The prospective martyrs are obviously the party in view here, but within John's visionary world there are only two parties: those who worship the beast and those who don't and thereby suffer under his hand (13:15). The martyrs are not presented here as a sub-group of the larger community of faith, but rather as visionary representatives of the whole community portrayed in juxtaposition with the followers of the beast.
But where does this vindication take place? Isn't it obvious that the millennial kingdom is an earthly kingdom? For several reasons, I believe the answer is a most decisive no. We note first that all of the descriptions of earthly restoration in the closing passages of John's vision are to be found in the "new heaven and new earth" of chapters 21-22, and not in the "thousand years" of chapter 20. There is no indication of a progressive restoration of the earth or of a return to the promise land in chapter 20, just as there is no rebuilt Jerusalem and no rebuilt Temple (Hill 237-8). Especially considering John's many allusions to the OT—which constitute our single greatest aid in understanding the way that he, the seer, understood his own vision—it is remarkable that he does not allude to any of the OT passages which have long been labeled "millennial" by both premillennialists and postmillennialists in his write-up of the millennium. In fact, John consistently saves such earthly associations for the post-millennial and eternal new earth of chapters 21-22.
On top of this, we note that the heavenly courtroom scene of Daniel 7:9-14 stands behind the vindication of the martyrs in Revelation 20:4-6. In that famous passage, "one like a son of man" is escorted into the presence of the Ancient of Days and is given dominion over all the kingdoms of the earth. That scene largely forms the OT background behind the vision of Revelation 4-5 as well, where John sees the risen Christ enter the heavenly throne room and receive the authority to complete God's eschatological plan (note also the parallel in 12:5-12, where the male child is "caught up to God and his throne" and, after the dragon is cast to the earth, a loud voice in heaven proclaims that "the kingdom of our God and the power of his Christ have come").
But the point is this: if the heavenly scene of Daniel 7 stands behind chapters 4-5, where Christ receives his kingly authority in heaven, then it stands to reason that the martyr's vindication in 20:4-6 itself belongs in heaven. This is confirmed twice over; first, by the appearance of "thrones" in v. 4, which almost everywhere else in Revelation belong in heaven; and, second, by the parallel scenes of heavenly vindication in 7:9-17, 11:11-13, and 15:2-4.
The Proto-Resurrection
One final point, which I believe puts the nail in the coffin of an earthly interpretation of Revelation 20:4-6, is the argument set forth by M. G. Kline in his article "The First Resurrection". The crux of the argument is that throughout Revelation 20-21 the word translated "first" or "former" (protos) is consistently used to qualify things which belong to the pre-consummate order, in contrast to those things which are "new", i.e. consummate. In Hellenistic Greek protos often had the sense of "former" in contrast with "latter", or the first of two (e.g., Matt. 27:64; 1 Cor. 15:45-47; Heb. 8:13; 10:9). In Revelation 21:1-5 the word "first" is employed in juxtaposition with "new": the consummation of history brings "a new heaven and a new earth" (v. 1), and a "new Jerusalem" (v. 2); indeed, it is the time when the Creator God makes "all things new" (v. 5)—and when the word "first" appears throughout the passage, it is used to speak of that which is superseded by the "new". It may be good to see the words side by side to get the effect.
"Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away… There shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the first things have passed away… Behold I make all things new."
In light of this contextual meaning of protos, Kline argues that we should not understand the "first resurrection" as denoting simply the first of the same kind in a temporal sequence of two, but rather a preliminary and inferior sort of resurrection to the ultimate bodily resurrection of the new order. It is a proto-resurrection, an anticipatory coming to life of the faithful souls in heaven as they await the new life of the consummation.
This is confirmed by observing the relationship between the first resurrection and the second death. The "second death" is not simply the loss of physical life which every person must experience, but rather a death after death, an ultimate death reserved for the wicked (20:14-15). Likewise, the "first resurrection" is not simply the return to bodily life which John envisions for all of humanity (20:12), but rather a resurrection before resurrection, a preliminary coming to life reserved for those who were faithful unto death, who are now blessed and holy because they are exempt from the power of the second death (20:6). In other words, when John speaks of the second death and the first resurrection, he is in both cases explaining a lesser known reality (eternal punishment and the heavenly intermediate state) by the terms of a more commonly known reality (death and resurrection). In both cases the adjective modifies the noun as carrying a metaphorical meaning. In the case of the "second death" it lets the reader know that this is a more ultimate destruction beyond what we normally refer to as death. In the case of the "first resurrection" it lets the reader know that this is a preliminary stage of life which is anticipatory to what we normally refer to as resurrection.
The point though, within the narrative of Revelation 20, is that these souls are seen as being alive in spite of having been killed by the beast. The focus of the passage is on their position in contrast with the position of the beast and the dragon and the wicked dead. Their fate is thereby contrasted with the fate of the beast, who ironically goes alive to the "second death". If we do not bias the case a priori by the clumsy application of a literalist hermeneutic, then I think this reading clearly has the evidence in its favor.
The Meaning of the Millennium
Now, with all of the above in mind, we note that this passage looks back in fulfillment to the promise to the persecuted overcomers in 2:8-11. When John tells the saints in Smyrna to "be faithful until death" so that they will not be hurt by the "second death," he is directly alluding to the later part of his vision in which the souls of the martyrs "come to life" and reign with Christ for a thousand years, thereby being exempt from the "second death" (20:4-6). In receiving this admonishment from Christ, the struggling saints in Smyrna would be uniquely comforted by the vision of the millennial reign and strengthened to stand fast in the face of persecution. The two passages belong together as promise and fulfillment, which points to at least one dimension of the numerical symbolism of the millennium.
We recall that the saints of Smyrna were told that Satan would be allowed to throw some of them into prison, in order to test them, for ten days (2:10). After the judgment of the beast, however, John sees the dragon himself thrown into the prison of the bottomless pit, not for ten days, but for the greatly multiplied number of a thousand years. Since the number ten represents totality or completion throughout Revelation (e.g., 12:3; 13:1; 17:3, 7, 12, 16), and because of the innertextual relationship between the millennium and the promise to the suffering saints in Smyrna, the "thousand years" very likely represents an intensification or heightening of the imprisonment period of 2:10 according to the law of retribution in kind, or lex talionis.
In other words, the purpose of the numerical symbolism, in its immediate application to the suffering Christians in Asia Minor, is to strengthen the conviction that their momentary light affliction is working the far exceeding glory of resurrection life, a great reversal of fortunes to be rewarded at the throne of the risen Messiah, even prior to their being clothed with new bodies at his return. The number may carry further meaning, but this is its most explicit reference.
Conclusion: Promise or Warning?
In light of all of the above, we conclude that John's vision of the millennium presents the promise of life to the faithful and a powerful warning to those colluding with idolatry. It pulls back the curtain of history and shows the heavenly antitype to the tyrannous reign of Rome, the preliminary vindication of the suffering saints, and their participation in the priestly reign of the Messiah in anticipation of the day when he makes all things new. This view is thus markedly different from the classic expressions of the three main schools of thought. Instead of trying to create a synthesized eschatological timeline out of John's vision, it focuses on the purpose of the vision itself in its original historical context. There can be little doubt that the suffering saints of Asia Minor would have received the vision as a promise of reward aimed directly at them, as they faced the prospect of imprisonment and possibly even of death for the sake of staying true to Christ. Whether the vision meets us now as promise or warning depends entirely on where we stand in relation to the testimony of Jesus.

They have ranged from astonishment, shock, helplessness and compassion. All of which have lead me to my present actions. I firmly believe that one individual does make a difference. Also, as a Unitarian Universalist, I believe I am called by our <http://www.uua.org/aboutuua/principles.html>Seven Principles<http://www.uua.org/aboutuua/principles.html> [http://www.uua.org/aboutuua/principles.html] to put myself in action. A recent quote from the Talmud "Do not be daunted by the enormity of the world's grief. Do justly, now. Love mercy, now. Walk humbly, now. You are not obligated to complete the work, but neither are you free to abandon it." clearly points to the fact that this is not the time to feel small, powerless or inept. I have been moved by certain stories and events that have emerged: · A <http://www.ny1.com/ny/Boroughs/SubTopic/index.html?topicintid=3&subtopicintid=10&contentintid=46684>mosque in New York was lacking donations to Sri Lanka due to their lack of getting media attention on their plight. · Senator Hillary Clinton stated that ordinary items such as cartons to box donated goods were needed by organizations. · Professional and cultural organizations with links in Southeast Asia were looking for donations. · The internet, once again, is proving instrumental in providing information, accepting donations and getting the story and needs out to the world community. I have spent some time since that eventful Sunday looking at news reports and surfing the web for information. It is my hope that the information I have provided here will allow others to identify those organizations and individuals that are in the Metropolitan New York community that are "acting locally and thinking globally" to assist those on a short-term or long-term basis to overcome the hardships in front of our brothers and sisters in the devastated areas.

"I wrote with tears and anguish, pouring into the pages all the pain that life had meant to me."—Upton Sinclair
Ranking alongside Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin as a novel that has galvanized public opinion, The Jungle tells the story of Jurgis Rudkus, a young immigrant who came to the New World to find a better life. Instead, he is confronted with the horrors of the slaughterhouses, barbarous working conditions, crushing poverty, disease, and despair.
Upton Sinclair vividly depicted factory life in Chicago in the first years of the twentieth century, and the harrowing scenes he related aroused the indignation of the public and forced a government investigation that led to the passage of pure food laws. A hundred years later, The Jungle continues to pack the same emotional power it did when it was first published.

Vancouver is a city on the north bank of the Columbia River in the U.S. state of Washington. Incorporated in 1857, it is the fourth largest city in the state with a 2010 census population of 161,791 as of April 1, 2010. Vancouver is the county seat of Clark County and forms part of the Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area, the 23rd-largest metropolitan area in the United States. Vancouver shares its name with the larger city of Vancouver located 305 mi north in the Canadian province of British Columbia. Both cities were named in honor of sea captain George Vancouver, although the Canadian city was incorporated 29 years after the incorporation of Vancouver, Washington, and more than 60 years after the name Vancouver was first used in reference to the historic Fort Vancouver trading post on the Columbia River. City officials have periodically suggested changing the US city's name to Fort Vancouver, Vancouver USA, or even Old Vancouver to reduce confusion with its northern neighbor. Many Pacific Northwest residents distinguish between the two cities by referring to the Canadian city as "Vancouver, B.C." and the United States one as "Vancouver, Washington" or "Vancouver USA." Local nicknames include: "Vantucky" and "The 'Couv(e)". [more on Wikipedia]

Repurpose an Old Spice Rack
By: Stacy Roller
A reader shares her green tip for how she repurposes an old spice rack into a clever bath aid. This is a great way to store homemade bath salts.
Bath Salt Rack
I had a small spice rack that only held five spice bottles that I didn't use anymore. Instead of just tossing it when I got a new and bigger one, I filled it up with five different kinds of bath salts and hung it up on my bathroom wall. You can go one step farther and decorate it with ribbon, shells, or whatever else matches the theme of your bathroom. Not only did I recycle it, but now my salts are easy to grab and dump in the tub. The rack also looks great too!

I use my spice rack to store my serger thread when not in use. I hang it in my craft room by my serger and my thread it always handy and in good shape.
I found two spice racks at the second hand store for $3.00 for both, one had two shelves that I painted hunter green to use in my kitchen for a spice rack and the other only had one shelf so I lightly sanded it and hung it in my bathroom to keep perfume bottles on. Craft paint and stencils work great on these. You can also adapt the self to hold small spools of ribbon on a dowel. Or you can attach a mirror on the back and place small pots of plants, herbs or artificial flowers and make it look like a mini garden. Also you can find long thin baskets at your local craft stores that will fit on the shelves just take a measurement, and you can fill the baskets with barrettes or hair ties or ribbons for your little girls. The possibilities are endless. Have fun crafting.
I took an old spice rack and made a display to hang my necklaces and bracelets from.
Hi Stacy That is a great idea for my bathroom. I also had an old spice rack which has three long shelves on it just wide enough for for a spice bottle. I decided to paint it the theme color of my bedroom and I put all of my nail polish on the shelves and they fit perfectly. It also looks great on the wall too. Thanks for the tip and happy crafting.

ROSEBURG, Ore. — The man who started a standoff in Roseburg is behind bars, but not before he allegedly shot at police officers.
Police had to block the road outside the Casa Loma Motel as they worked for hours to get the suspect, 23-year-old Jonathan Lackey, a transient, out of a room.
When detectives tried to confront the man about a different investigation, they say he immediately started shooting.
The detective shot back, but no one was hurt.
Police did say Lackey was treated at the scene for a minor injury to his hand.

Kasa 2 Comes To The Marina
By Jessica Battilana on November 29, 2009 6:00 AM
Though the doom-and-gloom restaurant talk is completely warranted, since plenty of great restaurants have closed in the last six months, it's nice to see, occasionally, places that are doing well against the odds—or because of them. Kasa Indian Eatery is one of those places. The first location, on 18th street near the Castro, quickly drew a devoted local following (we included them in our Best Cheap Eats story in August of 2008) and it's easy to see why: wholesome, affordable Indian food is pretty hard to resist.

Oyaji: Where Hideki-san Knows Your Name
By Sara Deseran on August 20, 2008 5:34 PM
The other night I was taken to Oyaji, a sushi spot on Clement Street, so far out in the avenues you might as well get on a plane to Tokyo. I've heard a lot about it from my friends that frequent it. They talk about the sushi, sure, but what they really talk about is Hideki-san, the theatrical, ham-of-a-chef and owner who knows his fish and drinks like one too.
Fried On For Size
By Sara Deseran on July 30, 2008 4:34 PM
I've always got some food idea up my sleeve: a restaurant I'm never going to open, a bakery I'm never going to launch, the greatest pizza delivery on earth that will never be. The cookbook I'm never going to write is called Fried on the Inside. My working subtitle is something to the effect of: Heaven is a Place Where Soft and Crunchy Meet. (Although soft must proceed crunchy by just a second, you understand. It's all about order.)

What to Eat at Bay to Breakers
By Robin Rinaldi on May 16, 2008 9:38 AM
We're San Franciscans through and through, so we hate to say anything against Bay to Breakers, but the snacks at Footstock are not the tastiest morsels to treat yourself to after running or walking seven miles. (You thought we were gonna rant on the saggy naked people, didn't you? Nope, we've got priorities.) So whether you're in the race or just watching it, here are some things you might want to eat and drink along the route, beginning down in SoMa at the starting line:
Best-O-Burger Opens
By Robin Rinaldi on May 08, 2008 4:58 PM
The newest lunchtime rage downtown is Best-O-Burger, a kind of little urban version of In-N-Out on none other than Belden Lane: Angus beef, cast-iron skillets, fresh-baked buns, housemade fries (and onion rings), plus a few extras like daily-made gelato and gelato shakes. The tidy red and yellow space opened on the corner of Pine and Belden on Monday, and by Thursday the line was snaking out the door for four hours straight, from 10:30 a.m. till 2:30 p.m.
Eating Your Way To Tahoe
By Robin Rinaldi on February 13, 2008 6:41 PM
Word on the street is that every San Franciscan and her brother are heading up to Tahoe to ski for the coming long weekend. Given that the drive can take five to six hours, depending on traffic, you're going to need repast along the way. Every regular ski commuter has a few favorite stops. Here are three of mine:
Semi-Homemade Chicken
By Sarah Sung on January 11, 2008 3:50 PM
I haven't yet been able to sit through an entire episode of Sandra Lee's Semi-Homemade show on the Food Network. There's something about it that gets under my skin. I'm sure she's a great person with homemaking skills I'll never have, but where's her edge? Why does every show involve frilly cupcake frosting? Does she not have one gram of badass Bourdain in her at all? Well, I digress.

If you're thinking of selling or renting your Johnsonburg, NJ house, hiring a home photographer can make a big difference between making money and just breaking even. Think about when you look at photos of homes online: If the lighting is terrible, the quality is poor and the listing provides very few photos, don't you subconsciously associate these bad qualities with the homeowner or renter?

Defeating Goliath In The Cloud BDR Arena
By Jay McCall
An MSP's consultative sales approach helps it unseat a multibillion-dollar competitor to win a cloud BDR (backup and disaster recovery) project worth $8,000 per month.
Some MSPs try to avoid going head to head with giant competitors at all costs. But DSM Technology Consultants (DSM), a 30-employee MSP, feels just the opposite. According to Mike McMillan, VP of technical services at DSM, some of the national IT consultants and service providers have a difficult time adapting to new technologies and business strategies, and that's where smaller and more nimble service providers like DSM have a distinct competitive advantage.
A recent cloud BDR project with a five-location financial processing company illustrates how the age-old story of David and Goliath is still playing out in the IT service world today.
Take Time To Conduct A Discovery And Assessment
DSM was originally contacted by the financial services company after it conducted a Web search looking for an IT specialist. The company was nearing the end of a three-year contract with its BDR service provider, and it wanted to see if DSM could offer a less expensive backup and recovery service. "Initially, they presented us with a copy of the quote their BDR provider had given them and asked us for a price quote for the same services," recalls McMillan. "We explained to them that we work collaboratively with our clients and don't quote prices or make recommendations until we understand their business environment and challenges."
Although the financial services company was initially skeptical about the process, DSM convinced the prospect to pay $6,000 for a D&A (discovery and analyses). "This process involves a combination of network assessment tools and in-person interviews with stakeholders so we can better understand their IT needs and business challenges," says McMillan.
To DSM's surprise, the incumbent service provider, a multibillion-dollar national service provider, was using what McMillan describes as a 1990s recovery solution. "They performed nightly backups to tape media, and the client was required to mail its backups to an off-site DR [disaster recovery] location, and ultimately recover to dissimilar hardware," says McMillan. "In the event of an emergency, the customer would install the appropriate operating system and restore to the hardware. Often, there were issues with firmware and drivers that would extend testing times, and in many cases the customer wasn't able to recover all of its data."
In addition to not using modern technologies such as cloud computing, disk-to-disk backups, and virtualization, the legacy backup required nearly a week of manual labor to ensure it would work in the event of a disaster. "The financial services company was spending approximately $20,000 a month for this solution, which required them to fly technicians to its service provider's off-site data center to ensure the software drivers, firmware, and other configurations worked properly. While there, the engineers performed recovery tests to validate their backup media," says McMillan. "With tape backup this process requires an engineer to load the tapes to the backup server, which takes several hours, and then if the restore process fails, the technician has to troubleshoot the problem and try again."
Making matters worse was the fact that although the financial services company was paying tens of thousands of dollars each month for the BDR service, it would have taken days to recover its files in the event of an actual disaster. "After digging into their business processes a little further, we also discovered that their vendor was oversubscribing its BDR resources," says McMillan. "The bottom line was that if multiple customers needed to use the service provider's data center resources at the same time, there was a good chance that some resources would not be available."
DSM showed how its private cloud data center and Unitrends disk-to-disk BDR solution, which supports local and cloud virtualization, could solve the financial services company's RTO (recovery time objective) and RPO (recovery point objective) needs at a fraction of the company's current BDR spend.
Although the proposal seemed like an easy choice, the prospect was worried that this deal seemed too good to be true.
DSM uses a virtual disaster recovery methodology that enables local data recovery times of 15 minutes and recovery from a disaster in less than 24 hours
Why Cloud BDR Doesn't Have To Be A Leap Of Faith
DSM overcame the prospect's objection by offering to set up a pilot test and giving the prospect an opportunity to try its cloud BDR before making a purchasing decision. "We set up two Unitrends 833 appliances at their facility and worked with their DBA to mirror their SQL database to our private cloud data center every 15 minutes," says McMillan. "Other files and applications were backed up at different time intervals based upon the company's RTO and RPO needs and replicated to one of DSM's out-of-state DR sites." Leveraging DSM's virtual disaster recovery (VDR) methodology, the financial services company was able to spin up a live server in DSM's data center and confirm that everything was working properly. "We showed them how our VMware-based VDR capabilities enabled them to spin up a local server in as few as 15 minutes, and they could recover from a disaster in less than 24 hours. Their previous vendor could not guarantee better than a 72-hour recovery time."
After signing the contract, the financial services company originally identified 12 TB of data it needed to back up. After seeing how much easier and more effective it was to manage DSM's solution, the client added eight additional TB of data to the backup for a total of 20 TB.
The business benefits of the new backup solution were immediate and dramatic. "The client no longer needed to send engineers off-site to test and validate its data recoverability, which saved thousands of dollars per test," says McMillan. "With a portion of its savings, the company added additional cloud and managed services including Disaster Recoveryas- a-Service (DRaaS). The total solution generated approximately $16,000 in design and implementation revenue plus $8,000 per month in monthly recurring revenue." After the test, the customer was elated that it could focus more time on testing the applications rather than building and restoring systems.
In 2013, DSM boosted its revenue 40 percent over the previous year, and this year it's on track to achieve 100 percent revenue growth over 2013. Needless to say, hitting this mark may require unseating a few more giants, but DSM is once again ready for the challenge.

Ex-Huskies form half of U.S. roster
Asjha Jones was added to the U.S. women's Olympic basketball team Monday, making half the roster former UConn Huskies.
Jones joins Sue Bird, Diana Taurasi, Swin Cash, Maya Moore and Tina Charles, who were among the 11 players originally announced at the Final Four in Denver. All six helped the U.S. qualify for the Olympics by playing on the 2010 world championship team that won the gold medal.
More From espnW
Before anyone starts grumbling about the U.S. Olympic women's hoops roster looking like a case of college nepotism, it seemed likely this team would be Huskies-heavy no matter who the coach was, writes Mechelle Voepel. Story
"I would like to think that regardless of who the coach was, there's a pretty good chance that every one of those players would be on this team. They earned it," said U.S. coach Geno Auriemma, who has won seven national titles at Connecticut. "All the accolades that these players have gotten, they didn't get those accolades because they played at UConn. They got those accolades because of what they've done in their pro careers, since they left Connecticut. That speaks to their talent and their level of being able to win at every level they've been at. They didn't make the team because I'm the coach. They made the team because they deserve to be on the team."
While most expected Baylor standout Brittney Griner to be the 12th member of the team, she took herself out of the mix, announcing Thursday she will not play, citing an unspecified family illness and her summer school schedule.
Joining the UConn contingent on the team is two-time Olympic gold medalist Tamika Catchings. Also returning for a second straight Olympics are Candace Parker, Seimone Augustus and Sylvia Fowles. Lindsay Whalen and Angel McCoughtry will be competing in the Olympics for the first time and trying to help the U.S. win a fifth straight gold medal.
Jones, who will be playing in her first Olympics, had a stellar season overseas, earning Euroleague Final Eight MVP honors.
"It was kind of like disbelief and shock," Jones said. "I kind of put the Olympics out of my head because I didn't think I was going to be on the team. First I was surprised that Carol (Callan, the team director) was even calling me. Then when I answered and she told me the news, I was very surprised, very shocked. I was really, really honored to be picked up."
The U.S. team will train from May 11-13 in Seattle, playing an exhibition game against China and scrimmaging Japan. The Americans then won't get together again until July 14, when the WNBA takes a monthlong break from its season for the Olympics.
The team will spend three days in Washington D.C., in July before heading to Manchester, England. The U.S. will then play in a tournament in Istanbul before returning to London at the start of the Olympics.
The Olympics begin on July 27 and the team is a huge favorite to win the gold. The Americans have won 33 straight Olympic matches.

Martinez happy with squad
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Wigan manager Roberto Martinez says he would not swap his team for the new-look Manchester City side. The Latics take on City in the Premier League after the international break and Martinez insists that he would rather work with the players at his disposal than the multi-million pound stars at Eastlands. Wigan lost 2-1 to Hull at the weekend while Mark Hughes's side are sitting pretty in fourth place in the table, but the Spaniard says his squad have progressed massively in recent months. "They have one of the best squads in the league in terms of numbers and the quality to be contenders," he said in the Daily Star. "When you go out to buy the best it can go wrong sometimes but when you look at what they've bought recently it almost resembles how you play a computer game. "But they now have a fantastic squad and Mark Hughes has them playing as a team. Having said that, I wouldn't swap my squad for Man City's, no way. "In the three months we have been working together we've progressed massively and we believe in our squad."

Stay classy San Diego.
Came across this video online that accurately shows the 2 minute 20 second delay between the meteorite shooting overhead and the sonic boom that was heard on the ground in Chelyabinsk, Russia. This delay scared the living heck out of people wandering outside to get a glimpse of the smoke trail.
Go to minute 4:35 on the video link below. The meteor passes over at minute 4:41. The sonic boom is at 7:01, followed by several smaller, popping explosion sounds. There is nothing but silence inbetween the light and the blast, but don't worry, turn your speaker up to get the full effect!!!
The reason why it was captured so well on video is that many drivers carry onboard dashcams as a way to verify their claims in court with aggressive drivers, accidents, etc. Apparently driving in Russia is much worse than here. Maybe they need to visit NJ and go for a spin around the Asbury Park Circle?
I saw weather this morning. HAIL. In San Diego! There was pea sized hail on the road, I was all like OMG, then I started swerving my vehicle across lanes of traffic and slamming on my breaks randomly. I had to stop texting for a second and take a picture. Luckily, every other driver on the road was apparently doing the same thing.
Oddly the picture came out like this:
Waves looked bad this morning : C
I saw my kick a*s*s bleu hair in the mirror....
the AP circle is a labyrinth for drivers local and umm not so local. the new painted lanes/lines dont really help. holy confusing! although it does enable the police to write tickets like whoa, for illegal lane changes..so be aware.
coolest thing i saw today was the calendar count down one more day until i head to Costa Rica!
did this and then saw it at arctic valley this morning:
This morning's dawn patrol, a spinner dolphin popped up right next to me, swam right around me onto the peak, snaked the next set wave (which I'd been waiting a good ten minutes for) and then busted a front flip off the lip and of course, landed it perfectly. I've never seen one bust a flip 5 feet away from face, in the wild. Very cool. Way cheaper than SeaWorld without the moral ambiguity too.
