The GOP chased the voters it didn't have. The Democrats chased the voters they did have and made sure as many of them as possible showed up to vote. The GOP softened its message. The Democrats hardened theirs. The GOP tried to be moderate. The Democrats tried to be extremist. Guess which plan worked?
Let's recap the 2012 election. The GOP neglected its base and frantically tried to show that they were more responsible Democrats, but with a deep love of free enterprise. The Democrats focused on turning out every single rotten member of their 2008 coalition and getting them to the polls.
The GOP chased the voters it didn't have. The Democrats chased the voters they did have and made sure as many of them as possible showed up to vote.
The GOP softened its message. The Democrats hardened theirs. The GOP tried to be moderate. The Democrats tried to be extremist.
Guess which plan worked?
8 in 10 GOP voters do not want the party to back down and sell them down the river. But 8 in 10 GOP consultants want to get highly paid "Sell Our Base Down the River" positions.
Now the brilliant people who promised us a landslide and gave us a disaster have another brilliant plan. They are going to back some form of amnesty for illegal aliens which will give us 11 million new Latino voters, which in their best numbers ever, vote 40/60 Republican/Democrat. And it's a plan. Like Little Big Horn was a plan.
If we can get that 40/60 Latino vote, we'll win about four elections and then lose every single election from then until doomsday or until the United States is renamed Upper Mexico. But these are the people who can't count over a trillion and couldn't run a working GOTV program. Why would you expect them to handle basic math?
"The result will be (as in 1986) a new wave of illegal immigrants, largely unskilled, who will bid down the wages of the Americans and legal immigrants at the bottom of the labor market. These workers are the people most hurt by the big economic changes of the last few decades."
And those workers will hate Republicans. As they already hate us for NAFTA. As they already hate us for championing free trade, instead of protecting their natural constituencies, the way the Democrats protect theirs. And they'll be about as enthusiastic about voting for us as they were this time.
And the Latino vote we'll be chasing will cheerfully head to the polls to vote Obama a third term. But we'll have sold out the white working class who would actually vote for us, again, to try and win over Latino men and suburban moms.
Charles Krauthammer says, "There is one exception here, which I think is Hispanics. And that is not an intrinsic ethnic affinity problem, it is a policy problem."
Krauthammer needs to read up on the Institutional Revolutionary Party of Mexico which ran the country for 53 years. And after a brief defeat, the PRI, a party so violent and corrupt that it deserves its own Godfather movies, is coming back to power because it's what Mexicans want.
And, growing up around Hispanics, I can tell you that yes it is an ethnic affinity problem. Even among Puerto Ricans. They see Republicans as a white party and Democrats as an opposition party of minorities which will provide for them. Socialism is worked into the core here because they are not Americanized and operate on the Southern assumptions of a mercantile vs peasant class. Our Latino support comes from those who identify with the United States and support a strong military, and a smaller group that have business interests. There is internal Colorism that I am not going to get into here, but suffice it to say that those which see themselves as more "white" are also more likely to vote Republican.
The Republicans won in 2010 on ObamaCare, but now Boehner, the Crying Man is announcing that ObamaCare is the "Law of the Land." The illegally passed and unconstitutional law of the land... but who's counting?

It would be impossible for me to answer your question. I am not a health professional and would not be able to provide advise on medication and medical issues.
It would seem this would be a question that would best be discussed with your mother's physician.

Building Pride in our community and in our schools
After years of planning and deliberation, the District has decided to move forward with developing two activity complexes by utilizing existing facilities and footprint of the track and infield area at both high schools to fully develop each area. The activity complexes will serve each high school and our community for decades to come. In addition to adding turf this summer, plans are under development to allow for the construction of additional improvements at both schools, to be privately funded. The plans call for Liberty High School and Liberty North High School to add home bleachers/press box, a concession facility with restrooms, a new scoreboard/video board, and a new entry plaza. Liberty North High School will also require lights and visitor bleachers. When the projects are complete, both schools will be able to host football and soccer games and practices as well as marching band practices, halftime performances and annual marching band competitions, along with a host of other events and activities.

text: It is now my pleasure to introduce your host, Mr. Michael Schall, President and Chief Executive Officer for Essex Property Trust. Thank you. Mr. Schall, you may now begin.Michael J. Schall Thank you, operator, and welcome, everyone, to our second quarter 2012 earnings call. Erik Alexander and Mike Dance will follow me with brief comments on operations and finance, respectively; John Eudy and John Lopez are here for Q&A. I'll cover the following 3 topics on the call: number one, Q2 results and market commentary; second, the investment market; and third, an update on California, California itself and the policies and political situation. First topic, Q2 results and market commentary. Last evening, we reported core FFO of $1.66 per share for the second quarter of 2012, which was at the high end of the company's guidance range discussed on last quarter's call. We continue to see strong growth in Northern California and Seattle and an uneven recovery with pockets of strength in Southern California. Apartment conditions remain strong, demonstrated by same-store revenue and NOI growth of 6.3% and 9.2%, respectively. These results lead us to reiterate our expectation for a strong second half of 2012 and continuing into 2013, driven by limited supplies of housing and job growth that exceeds the national averages in Northern California and Seattle and is modestly below the national average in Southern California. We don't see a significant departure from this basic theme until at least 2014. Erik will discuss portfolio trends in greater detail. Our research team tracks many of the major employers in our coastal markets for insights into hiring expectations and other trends that can affect apartments. While job growth has remained quite strong, there are several companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo! and Cisco, that have reported job reductions, along with restructuring programs. Still, other tech companies have missed analyst expectations and have reported slower earnings growth.

Many people have suspected marijuana and drugs might drive people to violence or murder, but no one put any thought into it. When someone suggested these two girls might have murdered their best friend because they were high on marijuana, the answer came back, "not all people who smoke marijuana murder their best friend" and no one put any more thought into it. Even though everyone knows that all people are different and drugs affect different people different ways as soon as the answer came, "not all people who smoke marijuana murder their best friend" no one even questioned their criminally insane answer. That's what that answer is, criminal insanity.
We all watch the drug commercials, where they give a list at the end of the commercial of different side effects that drug could cause. That's because a certain percentage of people will suffer those kind of side effects. Not everyone is the same. Not everyone who takes a college SAT test gets 100% on the test. Not everyone who takes Viagra, will have a erection that lasts more than four hours. And yet Viagra is not a miracle drug, not all people who take Viagra will be able to get an erection. They only test these drugs on maybe 100 people and they write down the side effects. All drugs have side effects. Some people will get diarrhea, some people might get headaches and even a small percentage of the people might even die from taking the drug. The drug companies are out to make money, so that anyone who dies of a heart attack while taking a drug, the drug companies are quick to claim that person had a pre-existing heart condition and it wasn't their drug that caused that heart attack. The drug companies have been very good at labeling people with a mental illness, if they have a bad side effect from a drug that they're trying to make a profit on. Industry does the same with job injuries. Putting imaginary mental illnesses on people who are not happy with a lousy thousand dollar month disability check are simply labeled mentally ill, so that industry doesn't have to pay them for their suffering.
But God didn't create mentally ill people. If people are mentally ill, it's probably a side effect from a drug, a job injury or from going to war. This is why many veterans have posttraumatic stress. They have tried to label me as mentally ill, because they didn't want to pay me a 450 Billion dollars for my job injury. But I wasn't mentally ill before the job injury, so if the job injury made me mentally ill, then I want 100 trillion dollars for the job injury, that made me mentally ill. So I hope they can prove I'm mentally ill, so I can get my hundred trillion dollars. All people are different and that's why one guy sold his operating system to Bill Gates for $50,000. But the guys who created PayPal, YouTube, Facebook wanted millions and even billions of dollars for the things they created, that took very little effort. The guy who wanted seven billion dollars for Facebook was not mentally ill, because he wanted a lot of money. If he can get 7 billion for what he did, I should have no problem getting 100 trillion for the suffering I went through.
Not all people die from peanut allergies, but enough people do for them to put a warning on food labeling packages. Not all people rape or commit murder while high on marijuana, but enough people do to fill up our prisons full of murderers and rapist. So many that some people believe, we should all have guns. If there was no drugs or alcohol, we would not need guns because it is very rare that somebody rapes or murder someone while they are completely sober. Just about every rape and murder was committed while someone was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I'm not trying to use drugs or alcohol as an excuse, but it sure is a mass coincidence when So many people are in prison, for crimes they committed while under the influence of drugs or alcohol. I'm not just talking about illegal drugs, many people commit crimes while under the influence of prescription drugs. Not only should the alcohol companies warn pregnant women about the dangers of drinking while pregnant, they should warn them that they could get pregnant, if they drink around men.
Blaming 16-year-old girls for murdering their friend while they were under the influence of marijuana, is either a sign of stupidity or criminal insanity. Because someone convinced these girls that smoking marijuana was perfectly okay. These girls did not grow the marijuana, someone grew it and sold it to them. It doesn't matter if they didn't know Bill Maher. Bill Maher has a TV show and lawyers and producers advising him, where he speaks to millions of people and convinces them that marijuana is perfectly okay. Bill Maher is at the top of the pyramid, he teaches people marijuana is okay, they teach their friends marijuana is okay and before you know it, people are selling marijuana to Rachel Shoaf and Sheila Eddy. So they don't even have to watch the Bill Maher show, for Bill Maher to be liable. If you teach two 16-year-old girls it's okay to jump out of a plane without a parachute and they jump out and die, you are liable for their deaths. You don't blame them for being young and dumb.
It's okay to be a 50-year-old and be an idiot. But once someone teaches you the truth, you have an obligation to right your wrong or risk prison or lawsuit. Just because you have a small penis and use a triple thick latex condom, that has protected you for 30 years, doesn't mean that it's going to protect everyone. Some men have bigger penises and the condoms break. Some men don't use latex condoms, they use those feel-good thin animal skin condoms, that break. Condoms might work for men, who know how to use them, but they don't work for women. Because men lie and tell women they will use a condom and once the women consents to having sex and get naked in a man's bed, some men decide they don't want to use the condom or they promised to use a latex condom, but they use a thin skin condom that breaks in the women can claim they were raped because the man did not use a latex condom. So condoms don't work for women, at all. When you go on national TV show and tell women condoms work, abstinence doesn't, you are liable for every condom that breaks, for every woman who gets pregnant or a disease from listening to your fuckin ignorance.
The only reason why you think condoms work, is because the kind of women you have sex with, that would cut your penis off if you didn't use a triple thick latex condom. With the triple thick latex condom that you need for protection, you are better off not even to have sex. A rubber dildo feels more real than a man with a latex condom. Jacking off, feels better than having sex with a latex condom. So abstinence is a far better choice and the only way to guarantee you will not get a disease or pregnant. And you should have said that on your TV show. But now that you didn't, it now only shows the world how ignorant you are, it makes you liable for every girl who gets pregnant or a disease, because she believed a condom would work.
I don't know why Bill Maher the atheist seems to think he knows so much about God. This guy is so high on marijuana, he thinks God wrote the Bible. Maybe when he was high on marijuana he seen God typing out the Bible on a word processor. If he is God, he must have a word processor, is Bill Mahers kind of logic. The Bible was not written by God and only atheists believe it was. The Bible says you're not supposed to take from the tree of knowledge. So according to the Bible, your not even supposed to have the knowledge to print a Bible.
The true word of God was never meant to be put in a book. The word God was supposed to be preached by mouth and the word of God was handed down by word of mouth for thousands of years, before Gutenberg ever came along. Once people started putting God's word in a book, tyrants and dictators like King James, decided to twist God's words for their own benefit. Others have tried to correct the Bible, by taking out these dictators words.
This is my mother's Bible. If you read this Bible, it tells you that the words in red, are reportedly, what people believe God said. The words in black, there's no debate, everyone knows those are not God's words, but are the words of the Bible writers and Bible printers. I don't really believe your that stupid Bill Maher, I think you know this and you just want to deceive people, so that they can sue you or kill you, for deceiving them. Because not only did drugs cause people to murder, people have murdered, because people have lied or deceived them. I'm not saying you are going to be murdered, if you lie and deceive people or smoke marijuana, I'm just saying the odds of you being murdered is a lot higher, when you deceive and lie to people and they smoke marijuana. That's what holy wars are all about, killing the liars and deceivers. That's what the antichrist, the devil or the serpent is, a liar and deceiver. That makes you, the antichrist according to the word of God, that is handed down by mouth, from generation to generation.
Educating former president Jimmy Carter.
Jimmy Carter was on the Bill Maher show and he was boasting that he never started any wars and he talked about how so many women, murdered their children by way of abortion. He seems to be a religious man, but he seems to think that the women are evil for having abortions, when in fact he is the one who is responsible for women being forced to murder their children. He is making the laws, he's the one in power, he is the one responsible for so many women murdering their children. When the nine Supreme Court justices legalized abortion, he should have started a war right here in this country, to save the lives of a half million children a year. Because he did not do that, he is the one responsible or liable for a half million babies being murdered every year by way of abortion. First thing he should have done was, charge the nine Supreme Court justices killed for treason, for going against the Constitution that guarantees everyone life.
My grandfather had 12 children. Back then people had children to help them on the farm. The more children you had, the easier life was and that's the way life is supposed to be. The Archons, (politicians, the rich, those in power) have created a society, that makes it a burden on women to have children. They are responsible for creating the society, that forces women and gives them no other choice but to murder their own children and that makes them, people like Jimmy Carter, 10,000 times more evil, than the women who have abortions. They created a society that forces people to purchase clothing. Clothing by the way, that is made by slave children in dangerous sweatshops and if the clothing isn't made by children in sweatshops, the more expensive the clothing, the more it forces women to abort their children. Food grows on trees, were supposed to walk around naked. It's the devil that tells you your naked and need to purchase clothing made by slave children. The witnesses of God, preached in sack cloth, because purchasing clothing is funding Satan's kingdom. Don't be surprised on judgment day when you are held responsible for all the women who abort their children, because of the government you supported and created. Anyone who supported abortion should have been tried for treason because it's against the Constitution that guarantees everyone life.
People who are so mentally ill that they rationalize abortion is not murder, has to be put to death. You can't change those people. There's no arguing with them because they are mentally ill and that mental illness is caused by money and power. When people have money and power they want to be able to force others to murder their children by way of abortion and they use criminally insane rationalization to justify it. We went to war with Saddam because he reportedly killed five babies in incubators. The people in this country kill a half million babies every year and use criminally insane rationalization to justify it for profit and power. They know they cannot keep their power and wealth unless they kill millions of babies.

Opinion Writing
Did you know that some classes have too many students? Grant School needs more classrooms because we can't have a class with a lot of students. Grant School needs more classrooms.
Grant school needs more classrooms because some classrooms have too many students. If a classroom has too many students it will get crowed. For example, Miss Schwarting's class has 29 students and it's hard to fit all of the desks in. Also, if every class had 29 students the school would be full.
Another reason Grant School needs more classrooms is because a lot of classrooms get really loud. If a class gets loud it will interrupt other classrooms. Also, if every classroom was loud then the whole school would be loud and students wouldn't be able to focus. If we had more classrooms, it wouldn't be so loud. Finally, the last reason Grant School needs more classrooms is because teachers and students can't even think when it's too loud. If a student is thinking about what to write, and the class is too loud then they can't think about writing. For example, Miss Schwarting is thinking about important things and if her class is too loud then she can't focus on what shes thinking about. If one classroom is thinking and others are being distracting that whole class loses focus.
You might be thinking "Who's going to clean them and build them?" Well, the class or janitor could clean them. Students and teachers can help with building the classrooms, too.
Grant School needs more classrooms. together we can plan a fundraiser. We can make Grant School a bigger place.

It's to late to start charging membership fees. The sites already far to developed and set in it's ways to change. If they started charging members for usage this site would die.
But I do think you could make another site similar to this one and have it monetized. It's would just need to contain a different feel, layout, and you'd likely need relationship and dating specialists with validated credentials roaming the site offering an experienced take on the situation.
In any case, such a site wouldn't be GaG. It would feel different in almost every way and only be similar in contextual information. So to answer your question, yes I think less people would use GaG if it wasn't free.00|00|0

Last-quarter 2008 Retail Food Prices Drop 1 Percent
Apples experienced the steepest decrease, falling 29 cents to $1.51 per pound.
The retail cost of 16 basic grocery items slipped about 1 percent in the last quarter of 2008, according to the most recent American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Marketbasket Survey.
The report noted that the price of the 16-item food basket fell to $48.19, down from $48.68 a quarter earlier, as reported in the High Plains/Midwest AG Journal. However, the prices were up 7 percent, compared with the first quarter of 2008.
The marketbasket included a wide range of items, including fruit, dairy, meat and grains. Apples had the largest price decrease, dropping 29 cents to $1.51 per pound. Flour, cheddar cheese and bacon all had substantial price cuts. Small price decreases were found in whole milk, ground chuck, vegetable oil and potatoes. Rising prices were found in mayonnaise, toasted oat cereal, white bread, eggs and chicken fryers.
Still, the price drops are marginal.
"Food prices have not yet declined significantly, and may not for quite some time," Jim Sartwelle, an AFBF economist, told the Journal.

Opting for general insurance? Here are some tips!
Assets or possessions that have a monetary value and have a chance of getting lost or damaged can be covered by general insurance policies. The numerous insurance plans that are available with various companies can be a maze if you are not clear about your exact needs.
A proper insurance scheme can address your need and get you a wider coverage for a lesser premium. Here are a few tips insurance that can help you choose with care:
Choice of Companies: Unlike life insurance, for general insurance, it is difficult to predict which company is better than the other, as products and features will be same for all. Also, rates are standardized as per IRDA regulations. However, components such as OD discounts, loadings, voluntary / compulsory deductibles may vary from product to product and company to company.
Getting the Right Insurance Broker- In general insurance, only bargaining will bring you good quotes and options. So, in order to get the best available coverage and rates, an insurance broker who knows your business is always better than an agent who represents a single company. A good insurance broker will have tie ups with many companies and have got the experience to compare the products and quotes of different insurance companies. This will help you to get you the best in terms of rates as well as products.
Assess your Assets- Correctly estimate the assets that need to be insured and regularly update them on your policy. This will avoid the risk of under insurance or over insurance.
For contents insurance, it is required to list the valuable contents and estimate their replacement value. Make a note of serial numbers or identity marks for electronic items and machineries.
For commercial policies, assess the average value of the products in your premises and their possibilities of wear and tear. Review the recent law suits and settlements in your field. Also talk to your peers and find their level of their coverage..
If your house / office is in a rented premise, check your agreement carefully. You may be covered by the owner's policy.
Keeping Policy up to Date
It is important to keep your policy up to date to ensure that you are covered at the right level for the right amount of money. Checking the amount and value of your assets against your insurance cover on a regular basis is highly recommended during policy renewal time. Always ensure than your policies are renewed at least a day before the date of expiry. This is because if an event occurs even in an hour's gap between policy expiry and renewal, the claim will not be considered.
Tailor Made Policies
Insurance companies today sell products in combinations as package policies, both pre underwritten and underwritten after considering the needs of a customer. Such tailor made package policies available combine categories which comes under one roof. For example, a business owner's assets may also include the property of his clients in his premises. So, if a fire damages a customer's car in your workshop, you are liable to your customer also. A Commercial Package Policy combines both property and liability insurances, covering your liabilities along with your assets.
Buy an insurance package of policies, which may be less expensive than purchasing individual policies. It not only save your premiums, but combines various aspects which otherwise may get omitted. Also, it releases the hassles and head aches of renewals.
Read the underwriting guidelines carefully
It's important to understand each policy terms and conditions completely before finalising. Take time to go through the underwriting guidelines to know about the coverage, extensions, riders, omissions, voluntary / compulsory deductibles.
Make contact with your General insurance company as soon as possible in case of an event to register the claim.
Do not conduct major repairs before contacting your insurer.
For all claims that involve a third party injury, a GD entry or FIR is required to be submitted along with the claim form.
Purchasing the right insurance product at the right level to cover your assets like your home, car, and furnishings will ensure that if you ever experience damage or loss to these key assets you will be able to replace these and get back on your feet quickly

As a female boxer, Maureen Shea has a unique perspective on the banter between Ronda Rousey and Floyd Mayweather Jr.
In a no-rules fight, Shea, the super bantamweight boxing champ, is still taking Rousey. In fact, she would expect the MMA fighter to "break his arm off."
Shea, 34, who has not lost since 2009, even cracked in a recent Periscope session with boxer Shane Mosley that she would be happy to set up the fight.
Shea is nicknamed "The Real Million Dollar Baby," as she was Hilary Swank's sparring partner during preparations for the 2004 film "Million Dollar Baby." Shea says Rousey isn't ready for boxing right at this moment, but if she trains, she could transition to the sport.
"You don't just walk into my sport and say that I'm going to do what you're going to do," Shea says. "Her athleticism, her desire to win, I respect every ounce of it. And you know, if she gives it the time, and just trains straight-up boxing, I think she would do really well."
Rousey, the UFC bantamweight champion, was a judoka before she got into MMA. Rousey qualified for the 2004 Olympics as a 17-year-old and then won a bronze medal at 70 kg in 2008. She made her MMA debut in 2010.
Although Shea's skills are limited to strict boxing, she is interested in joining Rousey in the no-rules fight against Mayweather.
"Shoot, I'd help her," Shea says.
Mosley, a male boxer, awkwardly sits laughing as Shea bashes into Money Mayweather.

Gold Coast utility Daniel Mortimer's versatility is one of his greatest assets, but it is also hampering his efforts to nail a permanent role at the Titans.
Mortimer began the year as the starting halfback alongside Aidan Sezer, but the Titans' shocking injury toll and suspensions to key players has forced the former Parramatta and Sydney Roosters player to rotate between several roles.
After three matches at No.7, Mortimer has since played as a bench utility, hooker and halfback.
On Sunday against Canberra, Mortimer was named as halfback before Kane Elgey passed a fitness test to take his role in the halves.
That meant the 26-year-old began the game against the Raiders as hooker before Greg Bird's quad injury off the kickoff forced a reshuffle that resulted in Mortimer playing alongside Elgey in the halves.
Mortimer says he's happy to do what is needed for the team, but securing a permanent role next season is clearly his goal.
"I'd like to cement a starting position," Mortimer said.
"I've enjoyed the hooker role there, and I feel like I'm probably playing some of my best footy there.
"It's been one of those years where it's hard to get settled with the injuries and everyone's having to bounce around.
"Hopefully next year cement a spot and stay with it."
With reigning Titans player of the year Beau Falloon not going to be offered a new deal by the club, the starting hooker position will be up for grabs in 2016.
But Mortimer is far from a walk-up start for the No.9 jersey.
Youngster Kierran Moseley has already been earmarked by coach Neil Henry as a player he wants to see more of, while veteran Nathan Friend is also heading back to the Gold Coast after his stint in New Zealand with the Warriors.
Regardless, Mortimer believes hooker is where his future lies at the Titans.
"I'll definitely put my hand up for it," he said.
"I'm really enjoying it and I find defending the middle quite comfortable and just working my butt off around the middle there.
"I'm enjoying it and if that's my role next year, I'm more than happy to give it a go."

etalucifer was formed in 1995 in Kuwana-Mie, Japan as the side project of Gezol, ex-member of Sabbat. Together with other Sabbat (Japan) members and friends from Gore, Sacreifice (later also German acts Metal Inquisitor and Desaster), Gezol (here as Gezolucifer) started the act as his answer to the trends, mainstream, and the chaotic "Metal" scene of the 1990s.
Taking their name from the classic Sabbat (Japan) tune Metaluicfer And Evilucifer (King In Heavy Metal Hell) from the Evoke LP, Metalucifer (the band) would adopt a rough, simple, but very emotional heavy metal under the huge list of stated influences like Iron Maiden, Angel Witch, Manowar, Accept, Black Sabbath, Quartz, Soldier, Satan, Praying Mantis, Acid (Belgium), Motorhead, Judas Priest, Sortilege (France), Cloven Hoof, Heavy Load, Killers (France), Killer (Belgium), Anvil, Saxon, Kiss, Witchfinder General, Demon, Europe, Baron Rojo, Aria, Arakain, Pokolgep, Kreyson, Tublatanka, Marauder,V8, El Dragon, Muro, Angus, Gotham, Iron Cross, Maltese Falcon, Blowin Free, Dark Quarterer, and others.
Between 1995 and 2003 Metalucifer featured the following membership over the course of various gigs and albums:
- Gezolucifer (ex-Sabbat; vocals/bass)
- Elizaveat (ex-Sabbat; guitar/drums )
- Elizabigore (ex-Gore; guitar)
- Bill Andrews (ex-Death/ex-Massacre; drums)
- Samm (ex-Magnesium/ex-Sacrifice/ex-Sabbat; guitar)
- Blumi (ex-Metal Inquisitor; guitar)
- Tormentor (ex-Desaster; drums)
- Menzorugen (ex-Gore; bass)
- Brazilion<
- Elizavitebro (ex-The Chasm)
Their first album, the Heavy Metal Hunter MCD (1996), featured mostly Japanese tracks on the Japanese label 'Metal Proof' before the 7" Warriors Again / Soul Of Warriors was released by German label 'Iron Pegasus' in 2000. They would then sign to Stan Koson's 'R.I.P. Records' to release Heavy Metal Chainsaw in 2001. The Live Drilling 2000 (The Official Bootleg) cassette would be released in 2002 for the Polish market by 'Metalair Records' before Heavy Metal Drill picture-LP was released in 2003 for special limited run. Heavy Metal Hunter (2003) would be the latest to follow on 'R.I.P. Records'.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Tuesday, Jan 13,2004 7:17 AM
The evening of January 7, 2004 saw Pitch Brainstorm taking place in Ahmedabad, the capital city of Gujarat. This land has seen many a small player provide a challenge to big daddies. Aptly, the topic of discussion was 'Lessons for Marketers – How did the Davids take on the Goliaths'.
The panelists for the session were SB Dangayach, Director, Syntex, Atul Joshi, COO, Bharati Cellular Ltd., Gujarat, Shailesh Gupta, Director, Dainik Jagran and PK Sinha, Sr Faculty, Marketing Area, IIM A. The session was moderated by ace adman and now Director MICA, Atul Tandon.
Joshi, the inaugural speaker, spoke about the inherent advantages of being a David. There is no baggage of the past and Davids can position and reposition their brands. He gave the example of Titan and HMT and how Titan made watches a fashion statement that changed the entire turf. He stressed, "There are many Nirmas across product categories and it is not an isolated case study."
The other interesting comparison he gave was of Fairever and Fair & Lovely, where Fairever took the ayurvedic plank and differentiated itself from other 'chemical' fairness creams. Being more agile, Davids, he stated, define attribute creation values more and deliver that.
Taking from where Joshi left, Dangayach stated that it was advantage Davids as Goliaths suffer from low momentum. He also stated that being a David was more of a mindset, than being at a particular stage of business life cycle. Among others, he gave example of Reliance, which in spite of being quite an old and well-established organization, behaves like a David and reaps benefits from its agility.
Gupta was in unison with other speakers when he stated that being a David was a state of mind and this mindset kept one on his toes, exploring opportunities and options. The moment an organization starts thinking of itself as Goliath, certain complacency might set in. He elaborated that it was very important to understand consumer mindset and any marketing strategies should be conceived only after looking deep into the consumers' psyche. He also drew attention to the fact that Gujarat was full of Davids who took on the Goliaths.
Sinha, in his extensive presentation, drew attention to several interesting facts. He mentioned that Goliaths give Davids a chance and are humbled in turn. Sinha made an interesting point that in India, so far Goliaths have only been humbled even though the core customers base is large. A Goliath, as per Sinha, is usually a monopolistic leader, distant from customers and lacks in innovation, lives on advertising, distribution and small tinkering with packs. It can avoid the making of David only if it is close to customers, and keeps looking for change in customer preferences and has supple systems and processes. In short, it has to be 'a nimble elephant.'
During the course of discussion, Tandon raised questions like what causes newer Davids to emerge. And why does size usually hinder speed and momentum? The discussion was vibrant and sought to answer a wide range of marketing related questions.
