<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Junking your Car for Cash is a lot easier than you think! When you Junk a Car, Truck, Van, SUV, Boat, RV or any other type of vehicle through a Junk-A-Car for Cash program, you not only receive cash for your car, but quality service and free pick-up of your vehicle as well.</p>
<p><a href="http://junkacar.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/suzuki-wave-grand-vitara.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3841" title="suzuki-wave-grand-vitara" src="http://junkacar.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/suzuki-wave-grand-vitara.jpg" alt="" width="450" height="337" /></a></p>
<p>HOW TO KNOW WHEN TO GET RID OF YOUR CAR</p>
<p>Your Vehicle is no longer an asset and becomes a liability when:</p>
<p>* You're unable to find a buyer to take it off your hands.<br />
* It was totalled in an accident &#38; has been written off.<br />
* It has little or no trade-in value.<br />
* It's a lemon that you don't want to pass off on to someone else.<br />
* You don't want to go through the hassle of selling it.<br />
* It costs more to fix than it's worth.<br />
* It's been sitting so long that it doesn't work anymore.</p>
<p>HOW JUNKING A CAR HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT</p>
<p>People often think of an auto junkyard as just another dump – but present day junkyards are actually a form of recycling and easy on the environment. Most junk cars that end up in a junkyard are either sold at auctions or sold for scrap. In fact, junkyards provide steel and many other metals to the building and car industries, ensuring that the metals from a junked car continue to be used for other vital purposes and help save important natural resources, as well. In addition, the modern junkyard is regulated by federal and state laws that have strict guidelines on the draining and disposal of all fluids from junk cars, so the junkyard is no longer a threat to the ground water in the area.</p>
<p>ENJOY THE BENEFITS</p>
<p>Pat yourself on the back and know that by you junking your car you are in actual fact earning yourself some well earned cash and at the same time helping the environment.</p>
<p><span class="Text">No title? Not to worry.... The local Licensing department has the forms. You will need a form releasing you of liability. You simply fill out the form stating that you DO NOT own the Body and that it is abandoned.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#ff0066;font-family:&#34;">Licking down your brother’s hair; that’s the act of a child you want to spend some time with because you know she’s going to make you laugh. Who can resist a child who’s mastered the Queen Elizabeth wave! This is not a whiner or complainer, this is a girl who meets life with a smile, a promise, and a little mischief. As an aunt of 14 nieces, I can imagine Piper fitting right in to our family or any family who loves loud.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#ff0066;font-family:&#34;">Piper’s personality sends out a vibe of honesty and purity. This chick has already figured out who she is and what she wants. Do I hear Piper for President?!? She’s comfortable in her skin and is smart enough to know how to get what she wants.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#ff0066;font-family:&#34;">How does a girl get that ok with herself? She has people who believe in her, accept her as she is, and love her unconditionally. Piper’s a reflection of her Mom’s abilities, her Dad’s too. She hasn’t reached that age where parents are just someone to be rebelled against. Her hormones haven’t kicked in yet. And she is accustomed to being one of five so she’s not self-focused or self-absorbed. She’s a poster child for large families. </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#ff0066;font-family:&#34;">Piper’s proud of her Mom, she listened and clapped at the right times, even though it was after her bedtime. Piper’s loves her family. She held her brother with confidence and assurance. As the youngest daughter, not surprisingly, she looked to be in charge.</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:normal;margin:0;"><strong><span style="font-size:14pt;color:#ff0066;font-family:&#34;">Piper is adorable! While on stage, she worked the crowd and wasn’t intimidated by a seasoned politician. When introduced, she had the social graces to know she was to stand and wave. I think Piper’s ready to be an aunt… and a VP! She's got my vote!</span></strong></p>

Wave Tank Studies
Real world physical examples based on tesla&#8217;s earthquake experiments.

[caption id="attachment_24" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Wave Tank Studies"]<a href="http://iwanthho.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/long-crested-waves.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-24" title="long-crested-waves" src="http://iwanthho.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/long-crested-waves.jpg?w=300" alt="Wave Tank Studies" width="300" height="200" /></a>[/caption]
<p>Real world physical examples based on tesla's earthquake experiments.</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>1. I was enjoying our cheep sams intex 18' dia pool and I was the only one in it. and started to exercise my arms against the water. I just can't get it out of me but I turn everything into an experiment. It is a round shape and from a perfect calm I watched the wave action interact with the sides as I used my hand to instigate a wave front. As the first wave makes it way back to me at least 10 to 15 wavelet are crossing over one another. Here is where the wave increases or is canceled out. I wonder in an infinite pool size how far the wave would go? The side are not solid, they rebound and effect the energy of the wave too.</p>
<p>I can make a simple feedback circuit - my hand is frequency input, my eyes are loosely connect to the wave height but not effect them and my brain adjusts the timing and frequency. The new input needs to be just as the wave rebounds away from me and behind it's crest. ( Note: If you try this at home you not want to have anybody watching, way to hard to explain if they don't understand. ) The important thing to remember is that my ability to increase the wave height is not based on water density, volume or depth or size of the pool, temperature, etc... Just the feedback of information. The other thing observed is that to much energy put in just was wasted as heat ( my muscle and tiredness ) too much frequency or too much breaking of the waters tension ( splashing ). So how little energy can I put in and get a satisfying wave height? You just have to get good at the timing.</p>
<p>2. Months later setting at my old 3' x 5' particle board desk at work which has a typical loose plastic cam lock holding it all together. and about 50 lbs of monitor and computer on it. I watched my coffee in the cup slosh back and forth when I bumped the side of the desk. Hum... same thing as the pool, bumping the desk at different frequencies the slosh got nulled out or magnified. The deck had a harmonic frequency. The loose frame, the size of the side board combine with the weight. "Pendulum" the coffee cup was just the detector. or was it involved?</p>
<p>3. NASA and other researchers have reported the the study of the suns surface has a fluctuation, vibrating as it where. And we have all heard about the background noise from the universe. As pointed out that basicly everything is singing with it's own tune. Just like in "Happy Feet".</p>
<p>4. In an episode of Mythbusters. they used an electromagnetic weighted oscillator and tuned it to different frequencies and had it clamped to a bridge to test the earthquake principle. but I say the critical element to all these experiments, is that you have to listen. They got the bridge to vibrate a little but no real result. Not as the tesla report that the whole area where the building he was at was about to crumble. Is the report exaggerated? I don't know.</p>
<p>5. One of my volunteer jobs that I enjoyed was running a soundboard. This is great practical experience with feedback the one thing you do not want as a sound man. Understanding it is a key to stopping it in sound reinforcement. We want our HHO electrolysis to "squeal". This is the absolute answer to making these things work. Uncontrolled feedback is very powerful and capable of damaging speakers and ears but remember the gain is not any higher. So output is greater than input. As the cascade of loops build upon themselves, only the new input is added to the whole. Gaining power on each pass thought the amplifying system. but how does it know how to add the power at the right time? Because it only accrues at it's room harmonics. So by parametrically eqing or "target out that frequency" you drastically remove the potential for it bother your audience. Can we do the opposite and get the squeal we need or to say it like Stanley Meyers did let the voltage do the work.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rolled another 1 today.  I may need to check my dice to see if they are weighted.  That means I get to play with sound, something that has a great deal of appeal to me.  I was listening to older recordings and came across a guitar track that peaked my ear.  It was so largo and moody that I fell in love with it.. again, I guess.  I wanted to extend a particular note once the attack had settled and extend it to infinity.  I found a good loop point and repeated it several times so that in tandem with a sampler an easy loop point could be seen visually.  It sounded a bit odd as it certainly sounds like a guitar at the beginning, but then hangs there more like an organ.  I shaped the beginning of the wave to reduce the profound attack of the note and it started to sound a bit better.</p>
<p>Here's the finished <a href="http://www.benrocks.com/blog/Dstring-open-extended-shaped.mp3">sample</a>.</p>
<p>I took that sample, brought it into Ableton Live (which I love for so many reasons, one of them being a super fast composition tool) and through a tone cluster together.  I let it play out at the end to get the sense of the more 'organ' like tone.  It's hypnotic and dreamy and makes you want to go to sleep... in a good way.</p>
<p>Listen to it <a href="http://www.benrocks.com/blog/guitar-cluster.mp3">here</a>.</p>
<p>Tomorrow I hope to roll a 3, 4 or 5.  Wish me luck!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Jo i høj grad. 3rd of 3rd er hvad vi ser udfolde sig i stor stil idag. det er starten ( det startede dog allerede i midten af aug) Men, men.. idag fik vi det klare signal. den 3 bølge af den værste og mest destruktive bølge nedaf på aktiemarkedet er nu en realitet. den 3 bølge hvis man hygger sig med <a title="elliot wave" href="http://www.elliottwave.com/">Elliot Wave</a> er og bliver en knusende bevægelse. idag brød vi under 1261 og lur mig om vi ikke får en lukkekurs under 1260.</p>
<p>Hermed er der åbent for et fald til nye niveauer under 1200.. og igen 1100. Jeg er har tidligere talt om at vi ville se <a title="dow jones 11200 ??" href="http://turbino.wordpress.com/2008/01/05/et-skud-i-tagen-dow-jones-i-11200-inden-sommer/">11200 på Dow jones</a>, og nu bliver det endu værre. Vi kommer til at se 9000 inden 12 måneder. Vi løber lige direkte ind i en <a title="deflation ville" href="http://turbino.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/last-chance-before-delfation-station/">deflation</a> og som jeg skrev for 2 dage siden så har vi ikke set de store fald på aktierne endnu. Det kommer vi til.</p>

<description><![CDATA[어두움에서 나오는 파장은 사람이 인식하지 못할 아주 낮은 톤으로 나온다]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>어두움에서 나오는 파장은 사람이 인식하지 못할 아주 낮은 톤으로 나온다. 어두움은 심장박동은 생명의 소리를 내며 거대한 에너지를 자신의 중심으로 흡수하며 살아간다. 그리고 그 소리를 계속 뿜어 낸다. 어떠한 생명체도 그 소리를 들을 수 없다. 그 에너지가 우주의 공허함 속으로 퍼저 나간다. 이제야 인간이 새로운 기술을 알게되어 그 소리의 존재를 인식하게 된 것은 놀라운 일이다. 그 소리의 코드는 존재의 미스테리를 보여준다.</p>
<p>이 우주는 그 어떠한 속성을 정확하게 이해하기에는 너무도 큰 것이다. 또한 극도의 아름다움과 경이의 대상일 뿐이다. 우리는 너무도 작아서 우리가 진정 하나님의 관심의 중심에 있을 지는 미지수이다. 우리가 지나온 시절동안 이루어온 역사는 우리 대부분에게 거대한 업적으로 느껴질 수 있으나 이 방대한 우주의 신비의 원리들의 한 부위에 지나지 않는다. 우리는 우리자신의 무기력함과 미래의 불확신으로 인해 미래에 대한 희망을 떠올리고 의지한다.</p>
<p>인간이 지닌 가장 큰 문제의 핵심은 미래의 불확신이다. 이는 또한 가치에 대한 불확신이다. 우주에 존재하는 어두움의 구멍들은 단지 우리가 선과 악이라는 추상적인 심볼을 떠올린 대상이 아니다. 이는 보다 본질적인 자연의 속성에 대한 한 관찰이다. 미래에 우리가 있어야 할 곳은 우리의 단순한 이해관계에 의해 정해 질 것은 아니다. 단지 물리학적인 현상을 음악의 노트와 같이 이해하기에는 무리가 있다.</p>
<p>이해를 못한다면 항상 조사해야 하는 위험성이 도사린다. 지금 하늘의 별들은 로맨틱하며 아름답기만 하다. 그러나 좀더 진지한 이해는 별들이 다르게 보이게 한다. 결국 단순한 진리는 우주는 크고 인간은 작다는 것이다.</p>

<p> </p>
<h3 style="text-align:center;">FAQ's</h3>
<p style="text-align:left;"><strong>Whats a PSP Portal?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><span style="color:#000000;">PSP Portals are a set of web pages specially made for your psp, Some are made to resemble operating systems and mobile phones whilst others are a totally unique design such as the psp wave portal. Some PSP portals are offline which means you wont need an Internet connection to use them whilst others have on-line facilities such as msn where you will require a wireless Internet connection!

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Not posted anything on here for ages, so here we go. After visiting <a href="http://www.arkvfx.net"><em>ARKVFX</em></a> in Sheffield, and looking at what they do, i've come to a conclusion that I don't know jack, but whilst I was there I used some software called LightWave modeller and layout, to produce this... probably the best thing i've done so far.</p>

<p>I was standing on the shore<br />
     a mighty wave came with a big roar<br />
i was far away<br />
     the wave rushed forward in the play<br />
gently did it tickle me<br />
     i felt the cool waters with glee<br />
a moment passed<br />
     the water receeded into the vast<br />
how empty did i feel<br />
     without the water, was my life real?<!--more--><br />
forward did i move<br />
     longing for the waters soothe<br />
the wave returned stronger yet<br />
     sweetly making me all wet<br />
alas the wave pulled away<br />
     my whole soul craved for it to stay<br />
further forward i moved on<br />
     my desire gettig strong<br />
i saw in awe the wave so tall<br />
     standing over me and all<br />
crushing down onto me<br />
     leaving me small in humility<br />
the water pludged my every pore<br />
     opened and cured my every sore<br />
i knew nought anymore<br />
     not of the sand, sun and shore<br />
in the waters i dissolved<br />
     thus my being was evolved<br />
now in the wave i ride<br />
     calling seekers to my side</p>

<p class="caption" style="width:100%;">Hedwig Aerts walks from the beach carying a surf board in Rockaway, Queens. <span class="credit">(<span class="photographer">Tadej Znidarcic</span>)</span></p>
<p>A row of surfers bobs like bath toys offshore, the noses of their boards pointing toward the horizon, sniffing for the perfect wave. <!--more-->A warm breeze stirs the sand, and anticipation mounts as they turn to paddle in slick formation to catch a wave. It's a postcard moment, and not from California either. Greetings from New York's surf mecca -- 90th Street Beach at Rockaway in Queens.</p>
<p>Although a diehard surfer destination for years, it wasn't until 2005 that Rockaway Beaches 87 through 91 were declared the first legally surfable beaches within New York City limits. The Surf Beach is open year round from dawn until dusk, with fall and winter being the best seasons for waves. "This was always the hotbed of surfing, because it's one of the most consistent breaks," explains Steve Stathis, longtime Rockaway resident and surfer. Stathis also owns Boarders, a surf and skateboard shop, along with his sons Christian and Craig. Christian, a New York City firefighter and laid-back surfer, embodies the balance of this proud working-class neighborhood and beach hangout.</p>
<p>The four-year-old shop is central to the surfing community, hosting surf and skate contests, plus a memorial surf day for local firefighter and surfer Richie Allen, who died responding to <a id="EVHST000001" class="taxInlineTagLink" title="September 11, 2001 Attacks" href="http://goingcoastal.wordpress.com/topic/unrest-conflicts-war/terrorism/september-11-2001-attacks-EVHST000001.topic">9/11</a>. Just a few blocks from the beach, you can rent boards and connect with instructors. Plus, they offer rental storage lockers for surfboards, making it easier for the growing number of wave-riders commuting from Brooklyn and Manhattan.</p>
<p>Spanning14 miles of shoreline, Rockaway is an urban oasis. "It's a different backdrop than someplace tropical, but it's great to be in New York and to jump in the water and surf  that's incredible," marvels Andrew Field. When not surfing, Field can be found behind the counter of Rockaway Taco, which opened this summer. Tucked into a residential block, the modest stand seems better suited for a coastal Mexican town, and the fresh, savory tacos and quesadillas are as authentic as any found south of the border.<br />
Businesses like Boarders and Rockaway Taco contribute to the friendly, mellow vibe associated with the sport, which is only growing. Of the popularity Stathis says, "It's a healthy, fun sport. It's exciting when the waves are big and you see guys who can really surf well. By the same token, I always tell people if you're a beginner and you stand, the amount of enjoyment that you're getting out of it equals the enjoyment a pro guy would get by scoopin' up a 20 foot wave."</p>
<p>Newcomers to the sport, Jorge Sanchez and Jaime Diaz agree that once you're up, you're hooked. After watching surfers on this beach for years, the friends decided to get in on the action. "It's awesome," Sanchez says, "Not only for exercise, but it's fun to be out here doing something other than sunbathing or tossing a Frisbee." Diaz reveals Sanchez's other motive, "He comes here for the girls." Which of course might be part of the appeal, but as the Beach Boys said, "catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world" -- even in Queens.</p>
<p><strong>Getting there:</strong><br />
Take the Far Rockaway A train to the Broad Channel Station.<br />
There, board the Rockaway Park Shuttle to B. 90th Street</p>
<p><strong>Surf Gear:</strong> Boarders of Rockaway Beach, 192 Beach 92 Street, 718.318.7997.</div>

<p>Komme gerade aus einen Kitesurf-Urlaub. Wunderbar stürmische, verregnete 5 Tage in <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workum">Workum</a> in Holland. Hatte mich vorher gefragt ob es überhaupt möglich ist innerhalb einer Woche fahren zu lernen.</p>
<p>;-) Ja, es geht! Als Extremsportart stigmatisiert schreckt es vielleicht noch viele ab. Aber zu unrecht! Man freundet man sich schnell mit der Technik, dem Wind und der Energie an. Viele Bewegungsabläufe sind dem Surfen, Snow- und Wakeboarden ähnlich. Noch steht das <a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitesurfen">Kitesurfen</a> abseits des Breitensports. 2001 als Sportart geboren steckt die Technik aber schon lange nicht mehr in den Kinderschuhen. Das teure Equipment reifte schnell, sodass mit zunehmender Sicherheit in Zukunft auch die Zahl der Anfänger steigen wird.</p>
<p>Eine kleine Einführung in den Kitesport:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/2JW2L7yK0b0'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/2JW2L7yK0b0&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Hi everyone!  We are back from our quick trip up to Virginia for a stay at the fabulous Great Wolf ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hi everyone!  We are back from our quick trip up to Virginia for a stay at the fabulous <a title="Great Wolf Lodge" href="http://www.greatwolf.com/" target="_blank">Great Wolf Lodge</a> in Williamsburg.  And what a wonderful trip it was!  This place is really amazing.  So hard to believe that all that fun is packed into one indoor space.  It's one of those things that you really need to see for yourself to fully believe.  We were like deer in headlights when we first pushed through those doors and stood staring at all that majesty.  After being there for awhile, you could tell right off the bat those people who were coming in for the first time by their jaw-hanging open expressions and the words of wonder pouring out their mouths.  Just like we ourselves stood only about a day ago.  It's just that cool.</p>
<p>Just pulling into the parking lot is an amazing experience.  Built to look like a massive log cabin, this giant 4-story structure is dwarfed by carved animals standing sentry at the main entrance.  Here's a couple of pictures of the outside.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-275" src="http://audreypettit.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/gwl-entrance.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-276" src="http://audreypettit.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/gwl-welcome.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="230" /></p>
<p>And here is a picture of the first thing you see when you push through the doors to the indoor water park.  The 4-story tree fort.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-277" src="http://audreypettit.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/gwl-tree-fort.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>the tree fort has more than 60 water effects, including a 48-foot tall tipping bucket that douses you with 1,000 gallons of water every few minutes.  Did we get doused by the bucket, you wonder?  Oh yeah!  There are also 2 body slides located at the top of the fort.  Did we ride those slides, do you think?  Sure we did.  We also played water basketball in the Raccoon Lagoon, floated in the lazy river, and got soaked in the massive indoor wave pool.  We even all rode on the Flowrider, a very cool body boarding experience.  No kidding.....even I rode on the Flowrider.......twice.  I'm not joking.</p>
<p>And of course we rode on the slides.  We did the 2 3-story body slides from the top of the tree fort.  We rode the 2 slides of the Alberta Falls, covering 687 ft., twisting inside and outside the Lodge before dropping into a pool below.  Oh yeah.....did that.  Many times.  We rode the <strong></strong>River Canyon Run, a four-person raft covering 461 ft..  The most fun on that one was riding backwards, as somebody has to do on that ride.  Peter took the backwards position the first time around and one other time, but the rest of the time I did.  That's right, you heard me.  I did.  And I'd do it again.</p>
<p>And here are some pictures of the "Biggie", the Howlin' Tornado.  This is the one to raise goosebumps on your arms.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-278" src="http://audreypettit.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/howlin-tornado.jpg" alt="" width="288" height="216" /></p>
<p>Here are the kids standing underneath.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-279" src="http://audreypettit.wordpress.com/files/2008/08/kids-by-tornado.jpg" alt="" width="216" height="288" /></p>
<p>This bad boy drops you over 6 stories, swooshing you side to side in a 4-man raft before dropping you out the bottom.  And now comes the moment you've all been waiting for...  Did she do it, or did she chicken out?  Did any of us do it?  So.........what do you think??</p>
<p>Well.......................</p>
<p>Of course we did it!  You bet we did it!  All of us.  That includes me.  Oh yeah!!!  Ha!</p>
<p>You all should really check out the video clip of this ride.  Amazing stuff.  What they fail to show you, however, is the actual drop into the funnel.  Here I thought you just rode a tube slide in, but no.  No, there is this ginormous drop to put you into the funnel........and some poor soul has to take that drop backwards even.  Almost straight down.  We were hooting and hollering until we saw that drop coming, and then it got mighty silent in that tube before the whimpering began.  And poor Nik and Pete, both, were facing backwards for that drop.  I got lucky on that one. I did take the swooshing backwards, but it was the drop that was the scariest part.  Yeah...... once was enough for this family.  But we did it.  Guess I'm not a total wimp after all.</p>
<p>We really had such a wonderful time on our trip.  I would recommend this place to anyone.  The folks there at the lodge could not have been nicer.  Upgraded our room, even, to the Grizzly Bear Suite which included two separate bedrooms, 3 tvs, a fireplace, a kitchenette, a jacuzzi bathtub in one bathroom, and a walk-in shower in a second bathroom.  Had a balcony, too.  Talk about living!</p>
<p>Now that I've got some great pictures, I need to get scrapping.</p>
<p>Have a great day everyone!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-406" src="http://sagecircle.wordpress.com/files/2008/05/icon-mq-130.jpg" alt="" width="131" height="130" />While we recommend that vendors <a title="the Magic Quadrant &#38; Tech Vendors [part 1]" href="http://sagecircle.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/dont-obsess-dont-ignore-the-magic-quadrant-and-tech-vendors-part-1/" target="_blank">don't obsess</a> over Gartner's Magic Quadrant (MQ), it is also important that they realize that investing effort consistently between MQ refreshes will ensure that no nasty surprises pop up.</p>
<p>After we wrote in the SageCircle newsletter that vendors need to watch out for <a href="http://sagecircle.wordpress.com/2008/06/09/the-danger-is-complacency-the-magic-quadrant-tech-vendors-part-6/" target="_blank">MQ complacency</a>, especially if they are in the Leaders quadrant, Carter Cromley sent us the following email:</p>
<p>"We at SAVVIS are by no means complacent about our position.  In fact we're incredibly paranoid to the point of having an organized "Defending the Magic Quadrant" program (that included executive sponsorship) that seemed to be effective in us maintaining our leadership positioning the web hosting MQ (just published)."</p>
<p>One of the key points that Carter makes is having <!--more-->executive sponsorship for the MQ program. One of the critical "currencies" to spend with any analyst, but especially with Gartner analysts, is access to executives. Carter certainly earns the title "Defender of the Magic Quadrant" for getting his executives onboard his AR program. </p>
<p><strong>SageCircle Technique</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Educate executives that effective AR has a hard return on investment (ROI) based on revenue growth caused by leveraging the industry analyst influence on sales</li>
<li>Cultivate consistent executive participation in your AR activities</li>
<li>Develop an executive buddy program that gets top analysts regular, non-briefing interactions with top executives</li>
<li>Provide executives with AR best practices briefings to ensure effective analyst interactions</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Bottom Line:</strong> The primary danger for vendors on one of Gartner's Magic Quadrants is complacency about their position. Savvy vendors combat this complacency by never being satisfied with their current position and supporting commentary. This attitude leads these vendors to constantly evaluate their approach and work to improve their plans and execution.</p>
<p><em><strong>Question</strong>: AR managers - Does your AR plan include periodic activities that ensure that you maintain or improve your MQ positioning?</em></p>
