I was listening for the key lines:

Wo dein sanfter Flügel weilt.

The wonderful thing is that their ad agency knew enough to stay out of the way of the music. May the bank execs realize and ponder that they are making decisions not just for themselves and maybe a few stockholders, but also for all the generations represented in that last image of a child reaching for the sky from the father's arms.

I watch this at least once a week and am always inspired by it. The singers don't seem to be singing the German text--and I speak German--but their Spanish is difficult for me to understand despite having lived and traveled in numerous Spanish speaking countries. I would love someone to provide a translation. Be that as it may, I love the video.
Beautiful. Anyplace can
Beautiful. Anyplace can become a sacred space as you just discussed on the radio. On the flipside have you seen the story about Joshua Bell playing Bach on violin in the subway and hardly one noticed or stopped to appreciate (too unexpected; sacred antennae turned off)..
I am a nonreligious person who disagrees with the radical atheists, disagrees with Sam Harris' title "The End of Faith." We urgently need more faith in ourselves, in others, in common purpose, in the power of our "Better Angels", in love being stronger than hate, in seeing "God" in others, including nonbelievers and nonpartisans as discussed on your important show with Rabbi Katz 2 weeks ago.
Oops Rabbi Sachs, sorry.

Fascinating performarce. I love these flash mob productions. I've seen dance flash mobs which are also as exciting and wonderful to watch but this is the first musical ensemble flash mob I have seen and I find it inspiring and touching when you look at the reactions and the joyous pleasure shown by the onlookers, especially the children.
Oh my! This is the very best

I was impressed with how much the little ones enjoyed it.
Such music is universal. Very well done.
Yet again we are seeing
Yet again we are seeing individuals realising that all are bonded together in a shared emotion. In this case a muscian began to draw out that bonding among a few individuals, and how beautiful to see the crowd grow and express that bonding. We would be so much richer if we could realise that we always share these bonds;that we always belong together. Sadly it is sometimes expressed in shared violence towards other. What a travesty of human nature that is.
This is a truly beatiful video. Thank you

I loved watching the delight of the children. Perhaps this experience will remain with them, and hopefully some will become the future classical musicians / singers.

I am sadden that public radio in Chicago no longer carries On Being! I've contacted them about it and was told that you didn't have an audience in Chicago. I don't believe that this is true. I used to set my alarm on Sun. morning for 6:45 am to make sure that I woke up in time to hear your show.

i was sent a link to this
i was sent a link to this video by
a relative, who got the link from another relative. i had just been telling them about my recent interest in the flashmob phenomenon, and my urge to join. (here in the u.s.) although the whole "scene" here seems to be loosely organized using the web, and i don't even own, or know how to operate, a smartphone, which seems to be required nowadays to co- ordinate events such as this. in "olden times", if your band practice was cancelled due to weather, you could dial the school, or listen to the radio for school closings. in the 1960's and 1970's, our version of flashmob was where a friend would call you on your home telephone, about a riot brewing downtown, you'd get in your bicycle, and in an hour, 3,000 kids would be running in the street throwing rocks at cops and being tear gassed. a slightly different and less- constructive type of mob that the one in this commercial! hopefully, modern kids will grow up believing that these are the only kinds of large organized gatherings, that ever went on, (musical performances, marriage proposals, etc.)

No to "Non?" The local language is Catalan. "No" is "No" in Catalan, just as it is in Spanish; "Non" is French... Aside from that, your comment is right on. Who'd've thought that a bank commercial could bring tears to one's eyes? Very nicely done.
A wonderful and thrilling

At a very sad time for me

Not only was this Marketing
Not only was this Marketing activity brilliantly orchestrated by Banco Sabadell but Beethoven's 9th was too. A joy to listen to and listen to again a and truly magical experience. It should be passed on to those who want to bring joy and happiness into their lives for 5 minutes.
Beethoven himself would shed
Beethoven himself would shed tears upon watching this. Staged though it might have been, if those joyful kids were prompted, please do not disabuse me of my misapprehensions. And like my wife, it gets more beautiful with every gazing; I just enjoyed my umpteenth.

Blissfully excited and
Blissfully excited and totally disgusted – at the same time.
I was intrigued by the beauty and pureness of it and of the high production level. Since Schiller and Beethoven were part of my socialisation and I love the european idea I was easy pray for water in the eye stuff. Yet I knew from the first second it was advertising and thats the downright sleazy part of it. Advertising shouldn't use politics. That is wrong on so many levels. Please Bankers, don't pretend to have ideals! Act like it. Don't get the next best filthy ad agency and dictate them, to do a picture perfect ripoff with a copy of the t-mobile adverts. That is just wrong on so many more levels. Anyone read Dantes Inferno? Where are the bankers? Where are the advertising creatives?
We need more, lots more, of
We need more, lots more, of these beautiful events to occur around the world because the world needs them so very much.

"Flash mob" it was clearly
"Flash mob" it was clearly not.
It was highly choreographed, even the little girl was an actor playing a part. That it was a TV commercial was obvious with the "product placement" in many of the earlier shots.
Having said that, it was truly a great performance and spectacle and "Ode to Joy" is a fantastic piece.
Si, I too shed "Happy Tears"

I was moved by this video. I
I was moved by this video. I did watch it couple of times and each time it brings its just overwhelming! But, I always had this question where did the girl who started it disappeared? She was right there next to the conductor till the last 10 odd seconds and by the end of it she was no where in the picture! Does that mean it is a commercial shooting that was shot over few takes at least! Only that can explain the disappearance of the girl. But that doesnt take away the beauty of the piece but am sad that like any other commercial this beauty might have been destroyed from 'from the heart' to the commercial studio managed staged'
Ode to Joy

I had been quite ill for
I had been quite ill for close to a week when I clicked on the faction "...a little girl ...etc" and was surrounded, no immersed, in this glorious sound that reconciled me with life. Life has to be worth living when such beauty can suddenly spring up and make a desperate soul see beyond despair and believe in the human experience again. Tears are streaming down my face but from joy, not despair. The miraculous cure of music. Thank you, so much.
Have watched this twice and
Have watched this twice and also another featuring Bolero. Flashmob seem to always bring out the joy of music better than being in a hall or theater. I love to see children waving their arms as if they are the conductor and leading the musicians on a might adventure. People, in some ways, are the same everywhere when they hear music in out of the ordinary places they become mesmerized by the music and if you notice you can't really know in which country you happen to be. Music is the soul of humans, it's just to bad we don't feel such joy all the time. Imagine our world full of happy smiling people with music.
You need to be less
You need to be less politically correct and much as a first time listener when you listen this music and band. Every musician in the past worked for a master (kings, queens, burgomasters and their mistresses). It was a strategy to stay alive for eternity of time. Thanks anyway.
Thank you, thank you, thank

Negative of a 1998 photograph of the Dalai Lama standing among young monks. (Photo by Richard Avedon / U.C.L.A. Fowler Museum and the Avedon Foundation)
A big, tough samurai once went to see a little monk.
He barked, in a voice accustomed to instant obedience.
"Teach me about heaven and hell!"
The monk looked up at the mighty warrior and replied with utter disdain,
"Teach you about heaven and hell? I couldn't teach you about anything. You're dumb. You're dirty. You're a disgrace, an embarrassment to the samurai class. Get out of my sight. I can't stand you."
The samurai got furious. He shook, red in the face, speechless with rage. He pulled out his sword, and prepared to slay the monk.
Looking straight into the samurai's eyes, the monk said softly,
"That's hell."
The samurai froze, realizing the compassion of the monk who had risked his life to show him hell! He put down his sword and fell to his knees, filled with gratitude.
The monk said softly,
"And that's heaven."

Really? You can't imagine anything but a pure PF replacing a C who has 3" and 35 lbs on him? Varejao is one of the best defensive Bigs in the game. TT is.... TT.
I was comparing them as high motor guys, who at least potentially (in TT's case) can be plus defenders, and who have limited offensive skill sets. I'm not sure that TT will be any better than AV is now at putting the ball in the hoop, so the peices are relatively interchangeable in my mind. I think that TT replaces AV in the 2013-2014 season, and i'm ok with that.
I didn't mean it as an insult to AV.....just as a measure of what I expect from TT's ceiling. Either way, you need to get a big that can pass out of the low post and score if you are going to keep defenses honest, and those kind of guys are very difficult to find.

A new poll from the Pew Research Center found that a whopping 74 percent of registered voters want the majority of Congress to lose their seats in the next election. In 2006 and 2010, the rate was about 50 percent, but because of the government shutdown and debt crisis, Americans seem to be turning against their politicians.

My only point was to neo. No point in even saying there are Vonn Bell rumors out there. Those rumors came from a UT troll with no knowledge.

Some boards (cough, 11W, cough) had some incredibly terrible shit being said about Gardner and Bell yesterday before anyone had any person worth a damn giving a name. I'd prefer to not see that shit spread here. It didn't but NEO opened a door by stating rumors are out there without clarifying just how shitty the source of them was.
If I was talking to you I would have only quoted you.
And as I said to Neoleo, I don't consider him psychotic either, now Ainge and his UT fans, they are. No point in giving people as sick and obsessed as them a chance to even have their "rumor" heard. It would be like listening to Finebaum's show and taking those rumors as truth, only Ainge is even less credible.

She was so encouraging.� Train with pros: Cover got expert advice and support from a local running shop. �They make anybody who walks in feel like a runner. They were a big part of my success.� Give yourself rewards: �I totally reward myself with cute running clothes!� she says. Her faves: running skirts and Icebreaker running shirts. Made of wool, they wick sweat fabulously. �Or I say that if I get a certain amount of miles in in a week, we can go out for ice cream.� Spread the word: Cover told lots of friends she was training for her first half-marathon.

Skip to comments.Akin not far off base in rape comment
Posted on 08/28/2012 9:24:06 AM PDT by Perseverando
click here to read article
Wouldn't it be nice if the female body would only allow conception based upon a conscious decision? No unwanted pregnancies, no "accidents" - every child would be planned and wanted.
If I were a Mad Scientist ... that would be my crime against humanity. Some genetic twist such that the default state was sterilization, and that only with a deliberate, conscious action; conception would be possible. Say, a large dose of Vitamin C (cheap, abundant, non-toxic) taken a few hours before conception.
Great. Let's re-argue this argument again and see if we can lose the Akin race by 20 points instead of 10 points. There is no value to having this debate at this point. Save it for after the election.
Why do you people keep digging this hole deeper?
The percentage of rapes that result in pregnancy is low because the percentage of women who are ovulating at the time of rape is low. The chances of being raped at all, much less at the precise time of ovulation is extremely low. You probably have more risk of getting hit by lightening.
This is so stupid.
You do not need to say any of this to maintain a 100% pro-Life position. It is just not neccessary and it HURTS the pro-Life cause.
It has been pointed out that stress, such as that caused by a rape, can delay or prevent ovulation. He probably heard that but didn't get it quite right.
And "legitimate" probably refers to the number of rape cases (the non-legitimate ones) that are buyer's remorse followed by an accusation.
He was still stupid to put it the way he did, but not with evil intent.
A better way would have been "should an innocent child die for the misbehavior of another person?"
I think they are shooting for a much higher margin of loss ... say 80%.
I listened to an "expert on rape" on NPR last week discussing his remarks. It was an amazing hit piece against him and calling out the absurdity of his claim. What was comical was that she mentioned in passing that she got a lot of calls from doctors who wanted to support what he said but she blew them off.
I thought, "Huh? There are doctors that say there is truth to the 'shutting down' comment? That certainly sounds like something a curious person would want to pursue."
But then, she was not curious. She is a paid attack dog on a liberal and publicly funded "news" source.
—Why do you people keep digging this hole deeper?—
Kind of like the birth certificate thing?
Please let it die.
The enemies of FREEDOM are keeping it alive, why must any of us??
This guy Akin retracted it and said his original statement was not accurate.
It was so stupid to bring up this "theory" about the liklihood or not of rape resulting in pregnancy. Stupid, stupid, STUPID!
Do not double down on STUPID.
Dear goodness... really? Please read post 5.
Hey partner, I just put the info out there for review and consideration. I really don't have time or inclination right now for a pissing contest. The article is in the news and will be until the election, unless Akin bails.
I'm not in the mood for whining right now. I get enough liberal whining at work. Just deal with it, or go hang out at huffpo. By the way, you may want to get a checkup, sounds like you may be suffering from "low T."
Please read the last line of that quote. "An experiment to give an accurate figure is, of course, impossible." So how exactly is it that WND can title this piece with the words "Akin not far off base.."? For crying out loud if you can't verify those numbers you cannot make the statement that a woman who endures forcible rape isn't likely to get pregnant. There are so many factors involved in the occurence or non-occurence of a pregnancy, that I would guess that the issue of "forcibility" (or legitimacy as Akin would put it) is not very high on the list.
Those politicians and commentators who are calling for Akins head have signaled where their priorities lie.
Hogwash. Perhaps for politicians and commentators on the left that might be true. For those on the right, it is not about preserving the rape or incest exception, is about removing a pro-choice Senator McCaskill, and ensuring a pro-life majority in the Senate.
I have said this before. Thanks to the media, Akin will go down in history as the guy who tried to argue that there is such a thing as legitimate rape. Whether you think that is true or not, it pales in comparison to the reality that by refusing to withdraw and give up the nomination to someone like Sarah Steelman, he may have just facilitated the rape of the Republic.
The old "move along. nothing to see here" strategy ?
A man's career, the elimination of McCaskill, and the future of Obamacare are at stake, and you imply that FACTS and TRUTH are not really that important?
Save it for after the election.
Rather like the MSM saving the debate over Obama's BC back in 2008 until after the election ?
Apparently, some people just don't GET that even ovulating women aren't necessarily going to become pregnant. As the doctor has stated, there is much complexity to this process. It appears as if it isn't just progressives who get all emotional over certain issues. Nobody is condoning or supporting rape. I don't know what Akin really MEANT, but fortunately most rapes do NOT result in pregnancy. And let's face it, the Choice Crowd just uses this as an excuse. Even if we could have a law that said "only in the case of abortion/incest," they would NOT go with it. They want abortion on demand...when they want it and where they want it.
Not far off base? Is that a backhanded compliment? So he's still off base, just not *that far*?
Wrong but not far, is that the new "fake but accurate"? That's a great slogan for a senate campaign, vote for the not far off base guy.
Yes. I have met many people in the pro-life community and worked with pro-life causes...nobody EVER have I met that would not agree with the trauma and horror of rape. We just don't want to perpetrate a second one.
Wow...sure wish there was an edit button on here. FR needs to get with the times.
So, what I meant to say was that nobody I know in pro-life circles would DENY that rape is traumatic and horrible. We just don't want to extend the trauma and horror by killing the innocent child.
"The percentage of rapes that result in pregnancy is low because the percentage of women who are ovulating at the time of rape is low. The chances of being raped at all, much less at the precise time of ovulation is extremely low. You probably have more risk of getting hit by lightening.
This is so stupid.
You do not need to say any of this to maintain a 100% pro-Life position. It is just not necessary and it HURTS the pro-Life cause."
That's the part of all this that's really frustrating to me. People are making things up and tracking down fringe "scientists" to back an assertion that we don't need to make. People are going out of their way to make unnecessary arguments that actually end up hurting our cause. Women get pregnant during rapes. It's relatively rare, but it happens. It doesn't make any difference for the sake of our arguments whether it happens 4 percent of the time or 2 percent of the time or .2% of the time or whether its marginally less likely to happen than random unprotected sex with a partner. We have to make the same exact argument at the end of the day. Why are people tripping over themselves and resorting to psuedo-science to defend a useless off the cuff remark?
Re: I have said this before. Thanks to the media, Akin will go down in history as the guy who tried to argue that there is such a thing as legitimate rape. Whether you think that is true or not, it pales in comparison to the reality that by refusing to withdraw and give up the nomination to someone like Sarah Steelman, he may have just facilitated the rape of the Republic.
Yep, if we just had the media on our side. Maybe soon, they'll see the light and take our side. </sarc>
Yeah, we've seen that before...just putting it out there for consideration...that's what Akin did, just put it out there for consideration. Brought it up when nobody was talking about it and all he had to say was, I don't believe in killing the innocent baby if a pregnancy occurs.
Now people are talking about that "theory" that the female body "shuts down" during rape, thereby preventing pregnancy, and they are talking about the term "legitimate rape" uttered by the "genius" Akin.
You have a choice. Contribute to helping that debate over that theory stay at center court, or for your part, dropping it.
You chose.
Your partners in keeping it going are the radical Left...pretty much.
I don't know who this author is but she's one of the few non radical Left helping to keep it center court, and I have no use for what she's doing, either.
Exactly what I've been saying all along. The pro-life position during that situation have NOTHING to do with the chances of pregnancy in that situation. We don't believe the life of the infant who is innocent should be harmed regardless.
So why bring up this irrelevant argument?`
I've listened to NPR for years. Yes, they've always been biased. They are left-wing, they like Democrats, they don't like Republicans. This is obvious to anyone who listens. It's a big YAWN.
But perhaps you've experienced what I have experienced over the past year or two -- NPR has gone exponentially into the tank for Obama. Like never before. Blatantly, blatantly anti Republican. Not even a shred of an effort to pretend to be curious about the other side or to provide equal coverage.
It's really quite staggering. And I say that as a long-time listener who has been screaming at them for many years. Now I just sit there with my mouth hanging open.
The real point of this 'incident' with Akin is that the public must be kept believing that all rape results in pregnancy.
Therefore, tax-payer funded abortions must be continued. (Which is the goal of the organized crime figures who own the (un)Planned (non)Parenthood clinics)
It's only that 'foot in the door' that keeps the money flowing.
If we compare the abortions (based on 'legitimate' rape cases) to those where the female just didn't 'want' the baby, what do you think we would find ?
THAT is why Akin was 'Quayled', and that is why the MSM won't print the facts.
It's not really about the politicians, it's about THE MONEY.
Re: Not far off base? Is that a backhanded compliment? So hes still off base, just not *that far*?
Wrong but not far, is that the new fake but accurate? Thats a great slogan for a senate campaign, vote for the not far off base guy.
I don't know a single person who believes "all rape results in pregnancy".
Exactly right. Do we want the focus to be on the fact that a baby's life is being terminated, or on some junk science about how a woman's body shuts down and can't get pregnant from a "real" rape. That would make it so easy for us on the Pro-Life side. We don't need an exception for abortion for rape because you can't get pregnant from a rape. Problem solved!
We are in the fight of our lives in this election, with Obama imposing Socialism and spending us into bankruptcy and some people want to fight him on whether a woman really gets pregnant from a rape.
—Dear goodness... really? Please read post 5.—
I did.
go to NPR.com and listen to the story I was listening to.
The more that people actually look at the words that Akin spoke, the less offensive they appear. For example how many people since his words were spoken overlooked the above words: "to try". Very few of the histrionic hyperbolizers on this issue unfortunately.
Re: I dont know who this author is but shes one of the few non radical Left helping to keep it center court, and I have no use for what shes doing, either.
Jane Orient, M.D., is the executive director of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. - http://www.aapsonline.org/index.php/
So now you know. Why don't you contact her and let her know how you really "feel."
Exactly. It is an eminently defensible position. All he needed to say was, "a human life is a human life - period".
Akin will lose not because of his position, but because of his own stupidity and arrogance.
Where do you find that in Akin's words above. Read them again.
Because when you are fighting against LEGAL and TAXPAYER FUNDED abortions for ANY EXCUSE, and your opponent claims it's ALL ABOUT THE MASSIVE PREGNANCIES FROM RAPE CASES (and doesn't like you limiting it to 'legitimate rape cases'), it is important to find out the truth.
But nobody wants that. Especially the ones who lie about rape, and those who profit from it.
Odd that it seems the same people who own PP clinics also own Porn Websites, Porn movie productions, Strip Clubs and Adult Bookstores. I wonder why?
This is point many don't consider.
Does that include the misbehavior of a man and a woman who have consensual and unprotected sex, and then find the pregnancy inconvenient ?
Good post.
What would make a conservative poster on this site call for silence on this, when there's no way our discussing it will have any effect on the mainstream narrative?
And the point trying to be made is what? akin made his point and he is out of politics for good after he loses bigtime.
So.... how many 'legitimate' cases of rape result in pregnancy ?
"Wow...sure wish there was an edit button on here. FR needs to get with the times."
The lack of an edit button is not a deficiency in the interface, it is missing on purpose. That way, you are held accountable for what you post here, and can not make something that you posted disappear after you start taking some flak for saying it.
And keeping it that way keeps MONEY in the pocket of the PP clinic owners. THERE IS BIG MONEY IN IMMORALITY. Just ask the politicians whom the PP clinic owners donate money to. (not that they would admit it)
You realise that any DR we trot out to say that they can "shut it down", the Dems will find 5 more that say the opposite?
Odd how the FORCED PREVIEW before making a post doesn't solve the problem.
Re: Good post.
What would make a conservative poster on this site call for silence on this, when theres no way our discussing it will have any effect on the mainstream narrative?
The real point is no matter how many women get pregnant from rape, is that an excuse for providing Taxpayer funded abortions for (women and the men they had sex with) because they find it inconvenient ?
Are we not rewarding irresponsibility ?
Re: And the point trying to be made is what? akin made his point and he is out of politics for good after he loses bigtime.
I think many women took offense (actually, I know they did) about that part of Akin's comments.
The implication they took from it was that WOMEN can choose to shut it down 'consciously'. Those who experienced rape and got pregnant then take think they are being blamed for NOT shutting it down.
Which is erroneous on their part. Getting pregnant is more like a crap shoot. Individual Results are mostly unpredictable. The 'conscious' may guide, but it does not 'control' the body. Your glands generate powerful acids to burn the food you intake, yet you consciously do nothing at all (other than eat) to make this happen.
If you eat food you don't LIKE, your glands don't produce as much of the acid (or the correct acids), and don't digest it as much, preferring to pass it on out as waste. Here again, the BODY takes some DIRECTION from the conscious, but only the BODY decides exactly HOW and WHAT to do about it.
Once again Akins supporters go on to say he apologized for a misstatement, and then go on to try to prove his statement correct.
He said what he meant and meant what he said. A morons a moron 100%
>Sorry, I dont base my decisions on what the media thinks about issues.
I sure as heck don't either. I'm not running for office or trying to sway fickle and women voters.
What does concern me and the health of America is defeating every possible democrat. akin lost and so will any others that try to play footsie with this media designed rape subject.
Oh if there were just more hours in the day ((sigh))

Whole Wheat Pancakes
Healthy, low-fat, whole wheat pancakes that are light and fluffy!
Well this is a first, I completely re-wrote my original recipe. I hope this doesn't create any confusion but after getting a few comments that my original recipe was a little thin, I re-made them and had the same results. I want every recipe on Skinnytaste to be GREAT so I went back to the drawing board, and made batches and batches of whole wheat pancakes until I felt it was everything a whole wheat pancake should be; fluffy, low-fat, and tasty! This meant completely re-writing my older recipe so if you have print-outs, I suggest you re-print this.
My original recipe called for oil and egg whites, I found using the whole eggs and eliminating the oil worked out much better, and reduced the points as well. I also slightly increased the baking powder, make sure it's not expired or the pancakes will be flat. Any slight changes you make to this recipe can yield a different result, so I suggest making them exactly as written.
Because these pancakes are high in fiber, they leave you feeling full and satisfied throughout the day. I used 100% white whole wheat flour which I prefer because my kids don't realize it's whole wheat. You can find this by King Arthur, Bob's Red Mill or Trader Joe's, but regular whole wheat works fine too, just don't use pastry flour.
You can add blueberries or chocolate chips to them when you add the batter to the skillet or serve them with your favorite syrup. I prefer my pancakes topped with agave, real Vermont Maple Syrup or blueberry compote. I make all the pancakes and freeze the remaining for instant breakfast to enjoy throughout the week.

|I had my assistant help me mix the batter.
Heat a large skillet on medium heat. Lightly spray oil to coat and pour 1/4 cup of pancake batter. When the pancake starts to bubble, you may add your fruit if you wish. When the bubbles settle and the edges begin to set, flip the pancakes. Repeat with the remainder of the batter.
Makes 14 pancakes.

How Cybercriminals Attack the Cloud
Cloud computing is constantly evolving and changing the way enterprises leverage technology. Regulatory compliance requirements will be a barrier preventing certain organizations from fully engaging in cloud activities, but for most, the potential for operational and capital cost savings will ensure that more and more data ends up in the cloud. The intensity and sophistication of attacks against data in the cloud will increase in line with the amount of data there.
Companies must invest in people with the technical skills necessary to understand and mitigate the security risks associated with cloud-based services. This may mean using a mix of cloud computing models to meet security, compliance and performance requirements. Outages will always be a concern, and contingency plans have to be comprehensive and well-rehearsed to preserve uptime and provide workarounds in case of downtime. Although cloud services enable organizations to do more with less, security issues inherent in the hosting model have to be addressed.
In this Dark Reading report, we examine how the benefits of cloud computing compare with the security risks, explain how and why hackers are increasingly targeting cloud-based systems, and provide recommendations for what enterprise security pros can do in an environment in which they lack ultimate control.

For awhile it was the first stop for a large portion of site visitors.Mostly a cesspool of stupidity CDT. The hype ain't real. When gnati was in and in the early days it was good. It devoed into a moronothon. Internet tough guy acts at their worst. Made Jersey Shore look real.
This place is so much better than the wwr so long as bw is gone.
People mistake extreme stupidity and hate for entertainment. Ron is so much more real as FMB than PBT for example.
The balance of legit take and smackfest was perfect.
One of those things that just doesn't get duplicated.
I was paying attention.
A good thing early on got hijacked by extremest fucktards.
That's why I am so glad to see bw gone and back to his "military" blogsites. Same thing was happening here everytime he waded his nasty ass self in.
Agree... What is needed here are just a greater number of the type of posters already on site. The WWR even in the period outside of what JB thinks to be its height had a greater number of said posters, and as donny pointed out it was the first stop on the site. Yes, it did devolve into nothing but flaming away, and not even reading of posts, where peeps like bw made OptiBob look rational...
