	ROLL-OVER 'CONVINCER' MAY HELP PERSUADE TEXANS TO BUCKLE UP (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		With the use of a "roll-over convincer," the Texas Agricultural Extension Service and the Texas Department of Transportation are demonstrating how people can be tossed about or even thrown from a motor vehicle in a roll-over crash when they are not wearing safety belts.
		"In the convincer, which is a pickup cab mounted on a trailer, dummies representing an adult and a child are placed in the vehicle without seat belts to illustrate what happens to occupants when they are not belted," said Janie Harris, Extension passenger safety specialist.
		Children ages 4 and under are protected by law regardless of the type of vehicle and their location in it.

		Also on site was the 'Convincer' which allows a person to feel what it is like to be involved in an impact situation at a very slow speed.
		Unfortunately, the weather limited the appeal of the 'Convincer' and it was not as widely used as had been hoped.
		However, those drivers who experienced the 'Convincer' were surprised at the impact that can be felt during a very low speed impact and considered it a useful experience to compare the potential outcome of a higher speed collision.

	Sample letter to drivers encouraging safety belt usage - Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
		If you don't know it, the "Convincer" is a sled type device that gives you quite a jolt demonstrating a 5 mph crash.
		We viewed "Room to Live" and, after hearing the Officer on the tape describe the accidents, especially the story of the mother holding her dead baby, I decided the stories on the video were not going to be my story.
		The camera zoomed in on a large bruise on the woman's shoulder as she described the action of the seatbelt and the force of the impact.

	Short Cuts :: The Memphis Flyer :: the mid-south's news weekly :: Short Cuts :: Music
		The Convincer provides closure to a trio of albums that began with 1994's The Impossible Bird, and all three albums are a mixture of minimal vocal numbers, country rock, and covers.
		The Convincer opens with "Homewrecker" -- a torch number that sounds as if it were sung by an artsier Bob Seger -- and then commences with assured and competent rootsified singer-songwriter fare (peppered with two covers and another torch song or two).
		The Convincer is obviously not the place to start but may be worthwhile for longtime fans who have stuck with the 52-year-old Lowe over the past two decades.

	Cindy Tonkin The Consultants' Consultant: Getting the client to buy and buy in: using convincers as a management ...
		The time component of a convincer is that clients need to see, hear, feel or read about your idea a certain number of times, or for a certain length of time.
		Those who "buy" an idea and put it into practice immediately may have single time convincers, or convincers the same as yours (that means it feels like less effort, because you tell, show, or give them examples as many times as you're comfortable).
		So if you're convinced convincers work for you, get on with it, and if you're not, perhaps you could leave this newsletter on your desktop and read it again in a month's time, when you'll be convinced that using convincers make life so much easier!

	The Convincer - Nick Lowe - Music Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Convincer is the last installment in a trilogy begun with The Impossible Bird and musically it falls between that record's country-rock and the torch songs of 1997's Dig My Mood.
		Bird was a quintessential breakup record, Mood was the soundtrack to a late-night seduction, while The Convincer is a laid-back record that simply feels good.
		It's a smooth affair, whether Lowe is crooning a cover of Johnny Rivers' "Poor Side of Town" or "Homewrecker," where it's clear that he still loves the title seductress, even if she turned his life upside down.

	Hypnotic Convincers - Hypnosis - Hypnotherapy - Hypnotic Advancements
		As with the eye closure test, not only does the hypnotic convincer deepen the trance state by turning the client’s focus of attention inward and heighten the kinesthetic experience, but the hypnotist further uses the hypnotic convincer to bypass the client’s critical factor.
		Hypnotic convincers, are generally applied in stages along with the level of trance assumed by the hypnotist, that his client should be experiencing throughout the hypnotic induction.
		This hypnotic convincer is used often, because it only uses a small group of muscles around the eyes, and is very useful for bypassing the critical factor.

	Ink 19 :: Nick Lowe (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		I can't say for sure what happened at family reunions, but listening to The Convincer definitely makes me think of Lowe and Cash sitting on the porch, sometime after the food and drink has been consumed and most have gone inside, simply strumming and humming like a couple of guitar-toting enthusiasts.
		The Convincer is very downtempo; there's nary a rocker to be found, and even the faster moments, such as the cleverly arranged "Has She Got a Friend?", never seem to move faster than a stroll, a marked contrast from the Lowe of yore.
		The songs here may be slower, but Lowe's way with words hasn't diminished; the maturity that results in dissipation for lesser talents truly fits Lowe well, who is resplendent in a thick white shock of hair on the cover of this album.

		The album is testimony to growing old gracefully in a young business.
		On "The Convincer," that means soulful ballads ("I'm a Mess"), pensive George Jones-esque country ("Lately I've Let Things Slide"), even the type of timeless standard that would seem comfortable in the hands of Tony Bennett ("Let's Stay In and Make Love," the album's closing song).

	Rockzilla.net Nick Lowe "The Convincer" by William Michael Smith
		On first listen, The Convincer sounds as though Nick Lowe has lost all the fire and energy that made him a leading superstar surfer of the New Wave and that he may be ready for the one way trip to the old folks home.
		While the Mick Jaggers and Roger Daltreys of the world seem to be planning to go directly from the rock stage to the graveyard, Lowe appears to have plans of doing quiet club gigs before audiences that have come to listen and appreciate rather than rock til they drop.
		If Lowe is to be believed (and he sounds very convincing), there is no bigger thrill for him these days than writing a quality pop song that fits the classic mold.

		With a lived-in crooning style whose softness belies the lyrics' emotional turmoil, Lowe drags his heart over the coals on songs that encompass '60s R&B, country, and even Bacharach-style pop.
		From the romantic desperation of the Johnny Cash-like romp "Has She Got a Friend?" to the broken-hearted soul plaint "I'm a Mess" and Sam Cooke-on-a-bender "Cupid Must be Angry", Lowe clearly takes delight in fashioning eloquent, period-perfect statements of lovelorn distress.
		Instead, it offers the opportunity to marvel at the emotional depth and peerless popcraft of a master whose next album must surely be a rocker, since this one brings things down about as far as they can go.
