Free summer concerts at OC Great Park start this weekend
It was such a success last year, they're back to do it again.
The cultural forces behind Orange County Great Park (formerly El Toro Marine Corps Air Station) and the Irvine Barclay Theatre have re-teamed for its second summer concert series, kicking off this weekend (on Aug. 1) with a return visit from acclaimed fiddler Eileen Ivers and her group, Immigrant Soul.
The woman the New York Times dubbed "the Jimi Hendrix of the violin," renowned for her Grammy-winning work on the original Riverdance, will be the first of nine performers to appear on consecutive Saturday nights through Sept. 26, when the series concludes with a set from Easy Star All-Stars, the noted reggae outfit that has remade everything from Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Radiohead's OK Computer to its spliffy new arrangement of the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (see the above clip).
Admission is free for all shows, though parking is $8. Chairs are limited, so patrons are encouraged to arrive early, but lawn chairs and blankets are welcome.
Unlike other homegrown series like this, the Great Park run excels at putting together an eclectic and intriguing roster of artists from around the world. Also scheduled to appear:
- New Orleans banjo virtuoso Don Vappie and his band the Creole Jazz Serenaders, Aug. 8
- Colombian singer Tota la Momposina with her Caribbean-tinged band, in one of only four shows on the West Coast, Aug. 15
- Francesca Gagnon, the voice behind Cirque du Soleil's Alegria, with Chilean folk legends Inti-Illimani, Aug. 22 (look for a full Cirque show at the Great Park in 2010)
- Neo-swing outfit and Hootenanny favorite Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Aug. 29
- From Berlin, the whirling pan-European rush of the 13-member 17 Hippies (check out a live clip above), Sept. 5
- Internationally beloved Iranian electro-fusion trance trio Niyaz (take a listen below, if you've got eight minutes to spare), Sept. 12
- And another hit from last summer, contemporary Hawaiian group Hapa, Sept. 19
In addition, there will be a series of seven Friday Night Dance Parties, spotlighting various styles and performers: Nachito Herrera (Latin), Aug. 7 ... O.C.'s Derek Bordeaux Group (R&B), Aug. 14 ... Pete Jacobs and His Wartime Radio Revue (swing), Aug. 21 ... Cedric Watson (zydeco), Aug. 28 ... Steve Lucky and the Rhumba Bums (swing), Sept. 4 ... Johnny Polanco y Su Conjunto Amistad (salsa), Sept. 11 ... Merchants of Moonshine (country), Sept. 18 ... and Bollywood Step (Indian disco), Sept. 25.
Last year's attendees also might want to know that the stage and sound system have been upgraded, with more remote speakers spread throughout the expanse of lawn seating. Video and sound feeds also have been added to the nearby Hangar Café.
Plus: free rides in the giant orange helium balloon!
Preview Park, the portion of the ginorous Great Park where performances are held, is accessible from Sand Canyon Road off the I-5. Click here for more details.

The wind farm will be sited in the southern Moroccan desert
Morocco to launch new CSP tenders

Quintet of EU turbine makers bid for Theolia project in Morocco
09 November 2012 05:09 GMT
Trio of EU lenders pony up $380m for Moroccan CSP plant
20 November 2012 11:48 GMT
By Andrew Lee in London
Thursday, February 07 2013
Tarfaya – which GDF is billing as the largest wind project in Africa – reached
financial close at the end of 2012, it says.
The wind farm will sell its power to Morocco's state utility ONEE under a
20-year deal, and will account for 40% of the North African nation's wind
capacity, adds GDF.
It expects full operations at the plant, on a coastal site in the southern Moroccan desert, at the
end of 2014. The French group says the good wind conditions should enable a load factor of 45%.
GDF will own and operate Tarfaya in conjunction with local partner Nareva.
It will be financed through a mix of equity and local debt, with GDF and
Nareva sharing the equity 50/50.
A consortium of three Moroccan banks will stump up the €360m ($488m) debt finance.
Gérard Mestrallet, chief executive of GDF Suez says: "The Tarfaya project is in
line with the group's development strategy in fast-growing markets.
"As the largest wind farm ever constructed by
GDF Suez, it also demonstrates our commitment to investing in renewables, as
well as delivering essential energy infrastructure to Africa."
Morocco wants renewables to account for 42% of installed generation capacity
by 2020, says GDF.
Its government is also pursuing concentrating solar power (CSP) projects, and
handed a 160MW contract to a Saudi group last autumn.

One choice can transform you - or it can destroy you. But every choice has consequences, and as unrest surges in the factions all around her, Tris Prior must continue trying to save those she loves - and herself - while grappling with haunting questions of grief and forgiveness, identity and loyalty, politics and love.
Tris's initiation day should have been marked by celebration and victory with her chosen faction; instead, the day ended with unspeakable horrors. War now looms as conflict between the factions and their ideologies grows. And in times of war, sides must be chosen, secrets will emerge, and choices will become even more irrevocable - and even more powerful. Transformed by her own decisions but also by haunting grief and guilt, radical new discoveries, and shifting relationships, Tris must fully embrace her Divergence, even if she does not know what she may lose by doing so.
New York Times best-selling author Veronica Roth's much-anticipated second book of the dystopian Divergent series is another intoxicating thrill ride of a story, rich with hallmark twists, heartbreaks, romance, and powerful insights about human nature.

Lesser action, thus less entertaining than Divergent. A little too much 'drama' occurring within the mind of Tris. Just OK.
"So much better than movie"
Emma Galvin portrays each character wonderfully and was a pleasure to hear. This story is so much more complex than the movie and I enjoyed every minute of this book.

New Zealand's most diagnosed cancer is being "swept under the carpet" when it comes to funding despite killing four times more people each year than road accidents, advocates say.
Nearly 3000 Kiwis are diagnosed with bowel cancer every year - and about 1200 die from it.
More people die of bowel cancer than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined, yet this year's Budget has given it the cold shoulder, Beat Bowel Cancer Aotearoa (BBCA) says.
"Bowel cancer is the poor cousin, overlooked, underestimated and generally swept under the carpet in relation to other cancers," BBCA chairwoman Rachel Holdaway said.
"This is a dangerous move - New Zealand has one of the highest death rates from bowel cancer in the developed world and failing to instigate processes to detect the cancer will only mean more and more lives will be lost."
The Budget allocated funds to breast cancer and prostate cancer "while bowel cancer continues to fight for any funding to stage a national awareness campaign", she said.
Dunedin medical oncologist Dr Christopher Jackson said bowel cancer was the second most common cancer killer in New Zealand, just below lung cancer, yet its awareness was "very low".
"Many people think prostate and breast cancer are the big ones; bowel cancer is way down the list on people's awareness."
If bowel cancer was diagnosed in its early stages, the chances of survival were between 70 and 90 per cent, he said.
The best chance of picking up bowel cancer was through screening.
The Government kick-started a four-year bowel screening pilot in the Waitemata District Health Board area last year. So far, almost 30,000 people have participated in the pilot and 60 have been diagnosed with bowel cancer.
BBCA is calling for a national screening programme to be implemented. This week marks Bowel Cancer Awareness Week.
About 3000 Kiwis are diagnosed with bowel cancer each year. It kills 1200 New Zealanders a year. It is most common in those over the age of 65. Bowel cancer is preventable, treatable and beatable if caught early. Symptoms include rectal bleeding, a change in bowel motions, lumps in the abdomen and weight loss.

Hurry! Why are people doing such crazy stuff for Reserva?"
This is what we in the industry call stealing an idea.
On Dec. 6, the Reserva label designer store was robbed in a professional smash, grab, and run robbery. It was the second time in less than a month that the store had been plundered. Police have yet to apprehend a suspect, despite, as you can see, the face of one of the thieves being clearly visible.
The owner, Rony Meisler, told told the O Globo newspaper:
"They stole my clothes and we stole their image. Complaining gets you nowhere, business is about doing things. Rather than suck lemons, it is better to make lemonade with them."
That's some quick, slick marketing.

I have never actually seen "The Matrix Reloaded" but I heard the audio on the "Super Mario Reloaded" flash. I can just download both of these files and put the two of them together to make the actual scene! Anyway, the lines in this are simply flawless and I could simply go on all day about how awesome this is. This reminds me of "Mystery Science Theater 3000" my all time favorite show. I can just say anything I am hearing now like, "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, my face!".

Aaron David Miller: That so many of the State Department's Syria watchers and diplomats signed on to a memo elevates the issue, even if their opposition is unlikely to consequentially sway the president's policy.
The executive director of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials called the expected absence of the two leading presidential candidates at the largest annual gathering of Hispanic policy makers next week "truly a slap in the face to the community."

Digital Body Language
Cartoon: Who is creating content for your company?
Digital Body Language
Today's my first attempt at cartooning (okay, not really, all the hard work was done by gifted cartoonist Brady Bonus ). hope you enjoy it! First posted this morning on It's All About Revenue : Tags: Social media Content
What Exactly IS Digital Body Language?
Digital Body Language
I've been using the term "Digital Body Language" on this blog quite a lot for obvious reasons. However, I have not really taken a moment to define the term, as I realized recently after a presentation on the topic. So what is it? What we are referring to when we talk about Digital Body Language is the aggregate of all the digital activity you see from an individual.
Social Media and Revenue
Digital Body Language
When I gave a presentation on Social Media and Revenue at Eloqua Experience recently, I was blown away by the great reaction to it. wanted to dig in a bit into where social media is in most of today's businesses. In a lot of ways, social media today is like "digital" a decade ago. There was a wide recognition that you had to "do digital", but it was very much separate from "marketing".
Can Marketing Really be a Revenue Engine?
Digital Body Language
It's a key question in today's business environment - can marketing really be a revenue engine, or is this current energy around marketing driving revenue just a fad that will blow over. I was truly honored to host a panel at Dreamforce to discuss that question with three of the very best in the field. Revenue Performance Management marketing analysis marketing dashboards Revenue Engine

Evaluating Marketing Automation - 10 Questions To Ask
Digital Body Language
The market for marketing automation software is doing very well these days. This has lead to an unprecedented variety of options for marketers to choose from, and the range of options can be dizzying. While many of the discussions can focus on software and feature/function comparisons, this is only one element of success. What mistakes can be avoided? How are leads routed to sales? Area code?
Marketing Dashboard: Passive Discovery
Digital Body Language
We spoke recently about various ways of looking at marketing benchmarks and how to better dashboard and analyze the entire revenue performance management process. This thinking needs to be applied to all areas of the revenue engine, and each has its own unique challenges. Building an understanding of how your messages are being passively discovered is an interesting challenge.
5 Things You Shouldn't Expect from Marketing Automation
Digital Body Language
Marketing automation is becoming a vital tool in today's B2B space, as more marketers need to gain a better understanding of their customers' buying cycles and increase their ROI from every campaign. If you focus on the technology over the planning, you won't have the backbone necessary to support your marketing automation efforts and convert more leads into sales. Define buyer personas.
Calculating the Value of a B2B Marketing Campaign
Digital Body Language
It's the ultimate question in marketing: What effect did this campaign have on revenue? In short buying cycles, where the buyer generally understands the category of the offering, and the transaction is quick and simple, this can be measured relatively easily. marketing campaign results in a website visit, a product is added to the visitor's shopping basket, and the transaction is completed.
The Results: Is B2B Content "Likeable"
Digital Body Language
A few months back, with Facebook's announcement of a "Like" button for the web, I decided to run a quick, highly unscientific experiment to see if B2B content was "likeable". Put more simply, is B2B content as likely to be shared in the social atmosphere of Facebook as it is to be shared in the more hybrid social/business atmosphere of Twitter.
Virgin America tackles cross-identity marketing
Digital Body Language
I just took a flight on Virgin America from San Francisco to Toronto. With the holidays, Google Chrome and Virgin America have teamed up to provide inflight WiFi for free, so I was more productive on the flight than any flight I have taken before. I've become a big fan of Virgin America as they seem to be innovating quite a bit on the inflight experience. At the same time, an interesting thing happened that caught my attention and made me wonder about their innovations in the marketing realm also. Sure enough, within 30 minutes, Twitter notified me that Virgin America was following me.
Content Marketing 2016: Staffing, Measurement, and Effectiveness
We surveyed 2016's content marketing leaders on their biggest issues, hurdles, and goals.
Is B2B Content "Likeable"?
Digital Body Language
With all the discussion about Facebook's new "Like" (or "Recommend") button for the web, I thought it would be worthwhile running a small experiment to answer the following question: Do the readers of B2B content share more on Twitter or Facebook? However, in the interest of science, I thought the experiment was worthwhile. What have you seen for B2B content? Does it become shareable on Facebook?
Sales Handoff and the Net Quality Score
Digital Body Language
One of the most controversial and challenging areas of any revenue engine is the hand-off process from marketing to sales. It is this transition that bears the brunt of all the inter-organizational process differences, motivation differences, and politics. This makes it a vital area to focus on in building the benchmarks and dashboards that will help optimize overall performance.
The Changing Dimensions of Lead Flow
Digital Body Language
One of the more interesting ways of assessing the revenue performance of an organization that we looked at in thinking about revenue benchmarking was via an overall plan (whether just an adjustment of historicals, or a forward-looking revenue projection). Depending on what is being sold, this is associated with an annual contract value, total deal size, or other measurement of bookings. company?
Buyer Roles, Buying Stages, and Perception Challenges
Digital Body Language
We looked earlier at the evaluation of existing content assets that can be done at each stage of the buying process, and for each buyer role involved. similar exercise needs to be done to assess where the need for content is greatest. For each stage in the buying process, and for each role, a list of the perception challenges we face in the market can be created.
Study: How Much of Your Content Marketing Is Effective?
745 marketers told us how effective their content marketing is. Here's what we learned.
Lead Scoring: Eight Critical Questions to Consider
Digital Body Language
Much of the conversation around how best to set up lead scoring tends to focus around the aspects of the buyer's digital body language that are most interesting. What whitepaper, excerpt, or download they last looked at, and what this means in terms of their propensity to purchase. These are all great discussions to have, but there are eight critical questions that need to be contemplated and discussed in order to build a lead scoring algorithm that will truly work in a business environment: 1) What are Your Outputs?: are you using lead scoring to determine who to hand off to sales?
Four Reasons for an Information Concierge
Digital Body Language
There is a role in modern sales and marketing that is just starting to form. call it the "Information Concierge" , but I suspect a similar role is called many things in many different organizations. This role bridges the gap between potential buyers and the information we have that is of value to them. So why not search? Does anyone in your organization currently perform this role?
Event Marketing and the Information Concierge Concept
Digital Body Language
I was down at IMS in Atlanta recently, spending time with a lot of very interesting and creative marketers. The interesting thing about marketing events for the marketing field is that you see many interesting new ideas experimented with. One of the techniques that caught my eye this time came from Jamie Turner and the team at BKV Digital. They are looking for insights, ideas, and great content.
Marketing Dashboard: Active Discovery
Digital Body Language
One of the most valuable areas to gain an understanding of is the current state of how your prospects actively discover your company and your solutions. The richness of insights that can be gained with a deep understanding of how buyers are using search is nearly without parallel. These are the main search terms that would ideally lead prospective buyers to your web properties.

Four Interesting Trends from Dreamforce
Digital Body Language
Last week I had the pleasure of wandering the floor at Dreamforce, Salesforce.com 's annual conference. As the SaaS conference of the year, it's a great time to get a pulse on how everyone is thinking about the next few years. This year, I spent a lot of time talking with the exhibiting ISVs, both large and small, and as I did so, I found a few key themes that resonated.
Is Foursquare Relevant for B2B Marketers?
Digital Body Language
Recently, I've been playing around with foursquare to get a better understanding of it, and think about how it might have a significant impact on B2B marketers. Whereas I'm far from a power user, I have unlocked a few badges (sadly, one of my first was the "Jetsetter" badge that is given for checking in at 5 airports), and I'm in strong contention for the Mayorship of Eloqua.
Trust, Reputation, and Inside Sales
Digital Body Language
There is a significant shift underway in how we establish and build trust. Craig Newmark (of Craigslist fame) discussed this transition in quite some detail in an article on GigaOm that's worth a read. The shifting of how trust is built has numerous profound implication for society in general, but more specifically, it is causing significant shifts in the way that people buy.
5 things to do to get ready for coming communication shift
Digital Body Language
A while ago, I wrote a piece on the next transition in communication that sparked a number of conversations.

The Next Transition in Communication
Digital Body Language
Over time, the way in which communication happens has gone through some very interesting transitions. Each of them resulted in profound changes in information flow, and with that, significant changes in the discipline of marketing. We're about to see the evolution of a fifth form of communication, and it will have an equally interesting effect on our lives. 1. Conversation Discovery So what's next?
Marketing Dashboards
Digital Body Language
The old adage of "you can't manage what you can't measure" is as true in marketing as in any other discipline, but in marketing there is often a challenge of defining what one wants to measure. Especially in B2B marketing, the length of the buying process leads to challenges in defining metrics that make sense for a marketing dashboard. Response, is also critical to measure.
What is B2B Marketing?
Digital Body Language
What exactly defines Business to Business (B2B) Marketing? It's an interesting question, as marketing is a discipline that is common across both business to consumer (B2C) and business to business (B2B) organizations. However, beneath the surface, there are significant differences in how B2B and B2C marketing is done in today's environment. It's worth exploring what B2B marketing entails. Unlike in many consumer marketing situations where the need for clothes, food, or cleaning products may be well understood, in B2B marketing, that may not be the case at all.
How much is too much? Frequency management and control
Digital Body Language
One conversation I end up in a lot with clients is the "how many times can I email a person per month?" conversation. Unfortunately, there is not a magic number, and attempting to govern around one can be damaging. Think of this question in terms of your communications with your friends and family - how many times per month do you communicate with your spouse? Aunt Hilda? Neighbors?

The Book: Digital Body Language
Digital Body Language
Marketing is undergoing a major shift that has been brought on by the change in the way people find and consume information. As this transition happens, marketing and sales teams must react. With the shift to online from face to face, the ability to see body language and "read the room" has disappeared.
5 technology trends every software marketer needs to know about
Digital Body Language
You don't build products, write code, design architectures, or fix bugs. So why on earth should you want to be aware major trends that are happening in the software development space? Because these current trends are big, transformative, and are changing the nature of how software is built, delivered, and sold. This is not a "back in my day" rant, it's just the nature of the business.
Interview with David Meerman Scott
Digital Body Language
I had a chance to chat with David Meerman Scott recently on a wide variety of topics. As one of the leading thinkers on social media in a business environment, his ideas, examples, and perspectives are fantastic to hear. In this interview, we talked about why B2B marketers are so hesitant to embrace " fun " as an element of their marketing, and why we need to think about selling to people, not amorphous businesses. As part of that transition, we need to focus on creating a steady flow of rich, interesting, shareable content.
Winners of the 2009 Markie Awards
Digital Body Language
It was a great night last night in San Francisco with the Markies awards gala being the show highlight at Eloqua Experience. The competition was intense this year with submissions from all sizes of companies, all industries, and all regions of the world.
Content Marketing Playbook: Strategy and Roadmap
Every brand's content roadmap is different; each path to success is unique to that brand's story, perspective, assets, and goals. But there is an overarching approach that's proven to work—one we've refined after helping hundreds of brands reach their content marketing goals and after speaking with some of the brightest minds in the industry.
The Medium is the Message: B2B Marketing, Social Media, and Conversation Context
Digital Body Language
Ever since Marshall McLuhan published his 1964 book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man , we have been familiar with the phrase "The medium is the message". The medium in which a message is delivered has as much of an effect as the content delivered in that medium. Today's world of social media needs to be viewed in a similar light. It is the same in social media.
The Goals of Lead Nurturing
Digital Body Language
One of the most common ways to use a marketing automation system is for lead nurturing. Also called "drip marketing", "nurture marketing" or various other names, this is the art and science of keeping prospects "warm" until such time as they are ready to buy. At that level, there seems to be general agreement that it's a great process to put in place. Similarly, the results are clearly showing that there is tremendous value in nurturing leads. However, there is often something of a lack of consensus on what the approach should be for nurturing leads.
CEOs and Marketing Metrics
Digital Body Language
CEOs may not be involved in the day to day challenges of the marketing department, but they can strongly influence its evolution through the questions that they ask and the metrics that they track, both in the marketing and sales teams. Done well, this structure and encouragement can facilitate a transition to a buyer-centered, efficient marketing and sales organization.
Brand Choice: "vision of perfection" or "perfect visibility"
Digital Body Language
A "Goof-up" can be a great social media marketing opportunity. The transparency required of us in a social-media led world causes a number of fairly wrenching paradoxes. One of the clearest of these is the difference between marketing's goal of being a "vision of perfection" and social media transparency's goal of "perfect visibility". What is the Goal of Transparency? Every organization does.

4 Quick Steps to Understand Search Discoverability
Digital Body Language
We are not all natural search experts, nor should we be. There is a lot of art and science to the field that makes it worthy of having a specialist on your marketing team focus on consistently.

Platypus Australia is highly regarded by sun-loving families around the world because of their long-time advocacy to minimize the health risks children face with prolonged sun exposure. Renowned for always providing products with the highest level of UV protection available with a UPF 50+ rating, Platypus Australia has gone a step further to ensure kids will actually love wearing their protective gear by releasing a fresh summer collection of beachwear.
Platypus Australia's 2013 Summer catalogue is marked by comfortable mix & match pieces full of vibrancy and style, "which the little ones really enjoy wearing, so they're keen to put - and keep - their swimsuits on, and that makes it so much easier for parents," says a Platypus Australia representative. "We provide protective children's swimwear without sacrificing on style, and this year's latest release is no exception."
The pages of Platypus Australia's 2013 summer catalogue are full of vibrant photos showcasing some designs parents may find familiar. "This year's collection has hints of the 60's and 70's in the patterns, which lightens the pieces up with a bit of fun."

Popular colour combinations of pink and mint and purple with aqua are striking. The final effect is a blend of easily coordinated and fun pieces that young girls will naturally adore wearing.
The palette is somewhat cooler for the boys' new assortment with chunks of navy blue, accented by pale green and splashes of red. Although less intricate in design, several of the boys' pieces include patterns of the hibiscus flower, a well-known Hawaiian surfing image, as well as more linear patterns of zig zags and digital inspired prints such as sonic waves. The outcome is a more graphic range that little boys will take great pride in wearing.

Myth #1: The "historical Jesus" is different from the Jesus of the Bible
By Jay Rogers
Published September 2008
The Real Jesus: A Defense of the Historicity and Divinity of Christ (DVD)
Who is the Real Jesus?
Ever since the dawn of modern rationalism, skeptics have sought to use textual criticism, archeology and historical reconstructions to uncover the "historical Jesus" — a wise teacher who said many wonderful things, but fulfilled no prophecies, performed no miracles and certainly did not rise from the dead in triumph over sin.
Over the past 100 years, however, startling discoveries in biblical archeology and scholarship have all but vanquished the faulty assumptions of these doubting modernists. Regrettably, these discoveries have often been ignored by the skeptics as well as by the popular media. As a result, the liberal view still holds sway in universities and impacts the culture and even much of the church.
The Real Jesus explodes the myths of these critics and the movies, books and television programs that have popularized their views. Presented in ten parts — perfect for individual, family and classroom study — viewers will be challenged to go deeper in their knowledge of Christ in order to be able to defend their faith and present the truth to a skeptical modern world – that the Jesus of the Gospels is the Jesus of history — "the same yesterday, today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8). He is the real Jesus.
Speakers include: George Grant, Ted Baehr, Stephen Mansfield, Raymond Ortlund, Phil Kayser, David Lutzweiler, Jay Grimstead, J.P. Holding, and Eric Holmberg.

Myth #1: The "historical Jesus" is different from the Jesus of the Bible
Here we will briefly examine seven myths of the Higher Critics. Then as we conclude the first part of our presentation, we will outline a strategy for Christians to defend the authority of the Word of God.
Jennings: "Jesus was a real person." [07:16]
It is good that Jennings admits that Jesus was a real person. Some have tried to make Jesus into a myth. But the evidence that Jesus lived in Judea in the first century is overwhelming. Jesus was a historical person recorded by Christian, Jewish and pagan historians. In fact, there are many well-known non-Christian historians who mention Jesus:
Scholars note that the New Testament corroborates Josephus in minute detail. Keep in mind that Josephus wrote his history after the time of the New Testament. In other words, both sources were written independently, but both agree with each other. So Josephus testifies to the historical reliability of many passages in the New Testament.
We know of many other early references to Christ by pagan writers, but there are also thousands of manuscripts from the first and second centuries written by Christians. The fact that early Christians recorded their own history does not discount their reliability. Christianity is not a religion that has its origin in shadowy legend, but has definite historical roots, strong personalities and a tremendous amount of source documents to prove it.
Other first and second century writers who wrote about Jesus as the Son of God, the promised Messiah and Lord of Creation, are:
Despite the overwhelming testimony from the early centuries that confirm the Gospel stories, the Higher Critics continue to search for a "historical Jesus."
Contrary to what the liberals of the Jesus Seminar tell us, we have far more than "likelihood" and "possibility" to confirm the reliability of the Gospel stories. We have substantial authentic evidence that the Jesus of history is the same person revealed to us in the Gospel accounts. We have the first and second century apologists who wrote extensively about Jesus and Christianity. Some of these were men who knew the Apostles. There were reliable second-generation historians who were taught by the Apostles who were in turn alive during the ministry of Jesus.

Frank Schaeffer Will You Please Shut Up! (Book)
High Quality Paperback — 200 pages
A Reasonable Response to Christian Postmodernism
Includes a response to the book Christian Jihad by Colonel V. Doner
The title of this book is a misnomer. In reality, I am not trying to get anyone to shut up, but rather to provoke a discussion. This book is a warning about the philosophy of "Christian postmodernism" and the threat that it poses not only to Christian orthodoxy, but to the peace and prosperity our culture as well. The purpose is to equip the reader with some basic principles that can be used to refute their arguments.
Part 1 is a response to some of the recent writings by Frank Schaeffer, the son of the late Francis Schaeffer. This was originally written as a defense against Frank's attacks on pro-life street activism – a movement that his father helped bring into being through his books, A Christian Manifesto, How Should We Then Live? and Whatever Happened to the Human Race? These works have impacted literally hundreds of thousands of Christian activists.
Part 2 is a response to Colonel Doner and his book, Christian Jihad: Neo-Fundamentalists and the Polarization of America. Doner was one of the key architects of the Christian Right that emerged in the 1980s, who now represents the disillusionment and defection many Christian activists experienced in the 1990s and 2000s. There is still great hope for America to be reformed according to biblical principles. As a new generation is emerging, it is important to recognize the mistakes that Christian activists have made in the past even while holding to a vision for the future.

Freedom: The Model of Christian Liberty (DVD)
"Give me liberty or give me death!"
Patrick Henry's famous declaration not only helped launch the War for Independence, it also perfectly summarized the mindset that gave birth to, and sustained, the unprecedented experiment in Christian liberty that was America.
The freedom our Founders envisioned was not freedom from suffering, want, or hard work. Nor was it freedom to indulge every appetite or whim without restraint—that would merely be servitude to a different master. No, the Founders' passion was to live free before God, unfettered by the chains of autocracy, shackles that slowly but inexorably bind men when the governments they fashion fail to recognize and uphold freedom's singular, foundational truth: that all men are created in the image of God, and are thereby co-equally endowed with the right to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."
This presentation is a similar call, not to one but many. By reintroducing the principles of freedom that gave birth to America, it is our prayer that Jesus, the true and only ruler over the nations, will once again be our acknowledged Sovereign, that we may again know and exult in the great truth that "where the Spirit of the LORD is, there is liberty" (2 Cor. 3:17).
Welcome to the Second American Revolution!
This DVD features "Liberty: The Model of Christian Liberty" along with "Dawn's Early Light: A Brief History of America's Christian Foundations." Bonus features include a humorous but instructive collection of campaign ads and Eric Holmberg's controversial YouTube challenge concerning Mitt Romney's campaign for president.

Massacre of Innocence (DVD)
Exposing The Occult Roots of Abortion
This presentation looks at the spiritual roots of abortion and exposes the myths surrounding child killing. Little known historical facts about abortion and how they relate to modern feminism are presented logically and accurately. Has been effective in converting many to a pro-life position.
Massacre of Innocence goes where no pro-life presentation has gone before in "tearing the lid off abortion" to reveal the spiritual realities we must battle if we will bring an end to this crime. The presentation is absorbing, fast-paced, informative and incredibly devastating to any attempt to justify abortion.
"… an extraordinary statement … a powerfully articulate presentation about what abortion really means, and why a great and moral nation like the United States must not allow the slaughter to continue."
— Congressman Robert K. Dornan

Corsair Neutron 128GB and 256GB (2013 Hynix Edition) SSD Review
It's been quite a while since we wrote about Corsair's Neutron Series, Link_A_Media Devices (LAMD) or SK Hynix Memory solutions. That's going to change this week because we went out and purchased a handful of Neutron and Neutron GTX drives. Before we start down that road, let's take a look at the LAMD and SK Hynix relationship.
LAMD is a specialty SoC builder with a handful of products. Although founded in 2004, the first time we noticed LAMD came when testing the Seagate Pulsar.2 enterprise SSD. Fast forward a year and a half later and LAMD tipped up again in Corsair's flagship Neutron GTX consumer SSD.
A few months after Corsair publicly launched the then new Neutron Series, SK Hynix, a South Korean DRAM, NAND and CIS manufacturer, purchased Link_A_Media Devices. Not including portable flash devices like thumb drives, we rarely run across SK Hynix flash in consumer SSDs. The most recent was a SSD built by SK Hynix that used a LSI SandForce controller paired with the company's own flash.
The SK Hynix NAND paired with a LSI SF-2281 controller produced some very interesting results. The read performance was down a little compared to other 2281 drives on the market with IMFT 25nm flash, but write performance increased. As we move forward to smaller packages, write performance will become a larger issue, because the performance is decreasing. This is a bigger issue with smaller capacity SSDs and one that you can see for yourself by the performance numbers released in marketing docs for the Crucial M500 and OCZ Vertex 3.20, both with new IMFT 20nm flash.
The first and only time we reviewed the Corsair Neutron was just after Computex 2012 one year ago, and it was the 240GB model. The base Neutron shipped with IMFT 25nm flash. Around the same time, we reviewed the Neutron GTX 240GB with 24nm Toshiba Toggle Mode flash. That was then and this is now. The Neutron shipping today has changed. The flash comes from SK Hynix now on the base Neutron and the full 256GB of capacity is now in the user's hands thus the new 256GB capacity size in the new marketing material. The Neutron GTX has a smaller change, now with 19nm Toshiba Toggle flash, but we'll talk about that in a couple of days with a special follow up review.
When we discovered the changes, the Corsair Neutron 256GB was at Newegg for right around $169. Not only did we notice the great price, but also the new capacity size. We reached out to Corsair for a sample, but almost right away, the request was shot down. As you can imagine, Corsair wanted to send us a sample for review, the problem was with allocation. The marketing team can't get their hands on them because the new low price means they are selling like crazy. So, we waited in line like everyone else and ordered a handful of new Corsair Neutron and Neutron GTX drives from Newegg.

Despite over 400,000 dead and ongoing ground and air campaigns inside the country by the U.S., Russia and several others, 51 US diplomats are publicly demanding the Obama administration launch strikes directly against Bashir Assad in Syria.
Quick Summary:
The Assad family has ruled Syria since the 1960s with an iron hand, employing secret police and other standard dictator tricks to suppress dissent. Things got so cozy between Syria and the US that in the early days of the war on terror the CIA was sending "suspects" to Syria for some outsourced torture, as nobody can run a secret prison better than Arabs.

Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges joins the lineup for the 2013 Port Fairy Folk Music Festival
Folk legends, contemporary artists, and international blues stars are coming together for next year's festival.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Eugene 'Hideaway' Bridges was always going to be a musician - the way he tells it he started playing when he was two years old, using a plastic spade with a rubber band.
With blues guitarist Hideaway Slim for a father, and with Tina Turner for an aunty, he grew up surrounded by music, but he's had to fight to do things his way.
He talks about the difficulties he had to overcome, including racial prejudice, to achieve his goal of playing the music he wanted to play the way he wanted to play it.
After a stint in the Air Force 'to get the military out of the way' he went on to play in a range of bands before settling on the nomadic lifestyle and success he enjoys today.
Eugene has visited Australia many times before, and recorded with local musicians including Lucky Oceans, but 2013 will be the first time he's played at the Port Fairy Folk Festival.
He'll be bringing his Australian band with him as well, and is promising to deliver shows which will 'shock the hell' out of people.
The 2013 Port Fairy Folk Music Festival might still be a good five months away, but with the official launch of the festival the announcements about who's on the bill are starting to come thick and fast.
The first round of ticket sales was accompanied with the announcement of just one artist - folk legend Arlo Guthrie, but he's now been joined on the bill by an impressive list of local, national, and international stars such as Eugene.
Some of the other headliners for next year include Gurrumul, Kate Miller-Heidke, and U.S. singer Ruthie Foster.
Finbar Fury, Christine Anu, and Chris Smither will also be appearing.
An outfit called Tuba Skinny from New Orleans will be bringing their take on the music of the 1920s and 1930s to the festival, and locals including Tank Dilemma and The Tom Richardson Project will also be making return appearances.
The very funny and very clever work of The Bedroom Philosopher from Melbourne has also been announced as a part of the lineup.
ABC South West Victoria will once again be a media partner for the 2013 Port Fairy Folk Music Festival - stay tuned for more details on the artists who'll be appearing next March.
