Action by PNC Real Estate is providing much needed low-income housing - and more - in the rapidly-gentrifying Adams-Morgan neighborhood of Washington DC. PNC Real Estate is proud to be receiving a "Super Hero" recognition in Washington DC for helping to complete renovation of two turn-of-the-century buildings. Converting the Euclid and the Sorrento into 70 apartments was made possible by an extensive public/private partnership. PNC's participation included a $9.6 million syndication comprising historic and low income housing tax credit equity with JPMorgan Chase as the major investor.
The developer, Jubilee Housing, is a faith based non-profit organization that provides a unique approach to affordable housing and opportunities for improved life for low income families and individuals.
Jubilee designed the units for families at 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% of the area's median income and they will also house individuals who were formerly homeless. Residents have access to a broad network of social services that support personal growth and empowerment.
PNC's investment in the neighborhood is far more than financial. It also includes Grow up Great grants for an early childhood development center, a quarterly financial literacy series and a community festival that attracts 500 guests.

Oprah Winfrey is embracing her hair "in its natural state" on the cover of O, the Oprah Magazine's September makeover issue.
The 58-year-old TV titan admits she once came close to chopping her hair off, but a famous friend helped talk her out of making a major mistake. "I wanted to wear it close-cropped a la Camille Cosby but her husband, Bill, convinced me otherwise. 'Don't do it,' he said. 'You've got the wrong head shape and you'll disappoint yourself.' I took his advice."
PHOTOS: The most memorable moments of 'Oprah'
A makeover can change everything, according to Winfrey. "I even notice a change in my dogs when they get their summer cuts: They're friskier and livelier, feeling more themselves once the weight of the hair is released."
Still, Winfrey warns that the only makeovers that matter are "those in which something inside the receiver clicks, aligning with that which is being received. The only real way to transformation is through the mind."
VIDEO: Oprah Winfrey and Gayle King go camping!
In the same magazine, Winfrey promises to help readers transform their luck, habits, stress level, friendships, health, style and attitude, and have fun doing it! The September issue of O, the Oprah Magazine is on stands Aug. 7.

Picked up a single from Total Wine in mid-August for $1.79. Best by 10-19-13.
Beer poured dark brown with a nice brown head.
Nose is all coffee to me and not much else.
Taste is coffee forward, some dark chocolate, and a decent amount of hopping to keep the sweetness at bay.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and somewhat smooth.
Overall this is a nice brew at a nice price. Be ready for some heavily roasted coffee if you do get the opportunity to try this.

12 oz into a pint
A - This baby is dark - black in all the thick spots. I could be convinced of some amber highlights. Strong head formation, mocha colored.
S - Strong roasted, almost burnt edge. As you get closer to it, some bittersweet chocolate appears. A little bit of bready malts in the background.
T - Starts off lightly sweet, malty, some chocolate, a little bit of coffee roast. Mid-stream turns heavily burnt, edge, almost astringent. Finishes with a little chocolate malts and some retained coffee acidity.
M - strong body, strong carbonation which serves to lighten it up. Lots of burnt and grainy flavors stick to the tongue.
D - Very slow drinker - the chocolate is the only thing that prevents this from being overly potent. ABV is strong, but manageable.
If you like an espresso, and a beer, then this is your thing.

Poured from can into Brooklyn tulip. Pours a dark brown/black color, off white head that retains decently. Smell- burnt coffee. Thats really about it. Trying to get more out of it, not much more there. Its not espresso, its burnt diner coffee at the bottom of the pot. Taste- iced coffee. Some roast, some chocolate, but man, this is like drinking an iced coffee. Some breadiness here, Maybe biquity in quality. But this beer is monotone. All about the coffee. Good, not great, I wanted more complexity.

I poured a can into a pint glass.
Appearance- Dark brown color with a fingers worth of tan head. Fair amount of lacing.
Smell- Black coffee and dark roasted malt aroma.
Taste- Dark roasted malt and a strong coffee flavor.Light hint of chocolate.
Mouthfeel- Full bodied and smooth. An average amount of carbonation and slightly creamy.
Overall- A good example of a coffee flavored beer.

Sampled at 1702; April 2009
This has a huge nose full of coffee notes that are all encompassing. The beer is black, quite dark, though it does have a touch of brown to it if you check closely. The beer arrives from the tap with only a ring of lightly browned foam that clings to the edges of the glass. The aroma is definitely coffee, complex coffee, but purely and simplistically coffee; I don't get any sense of the base beer here. The coffee contributes aromas of chocolate, a slight woody note, ample toasted aromatics and perhaps even a touch of burnt tobacco; overall the aroma is incredibly smooth and I like that it packs so much coffee aromatics without getting harsh.
The flavor has lots of coffee flavor; dark chocolate notes, a slight tannic roast wood note (almost seems a bit like cedar), some burnt berry notes. The coffee flavors are quite smooth with very little roast-acidity or acrid flavors. Some toasted malt flavors are noticeable and reminds me of a hardy browned bread. The texture is quite nice; not too heavy, though not light, but it has enough heft to carry the dominant coffee character well.
This is not a very complex beer overall, it is definitely coffee oriented, but the coffee is done quite well. If you like coffee then this beer is definitely for you. I am finding myself quite enjoying this beer. It has just enough of a roast edge to it to balance the smooth coffee and light dark malt sweetness and keep these from being cloying.

Thanks to chugalug06 for this extra
A-Pours a dark brown with a one and half finger sized coffee colored head that has fair retention and leaves wisps of lace.
S-A nice coffee aroma-not like espresso or anything, more like your regular cup o 'joe- but it is a nice aroma. Some roasted malt/barley and hints of chocolate. Smells good. Not terribly complex, but very pleasant.
T-A nice medium roast coffee flavor dominates, some charred malt notes come through along with hints of bakers chocolate. Not the most complex stout I've ever had, but it is pleasant to drink.
M-For an RIS, this is somewhat on the lighter side with much harsher carbonation than usually found for the style. This feels much more like a porter than a RIS. This is the weak point of this beer, IMO.
O-A nice stout that would benefit greatly from a more viscous and luxurious mouthfeel. With the harsh carbonation it seems more like a coffee soda pop. Overall, I have to give it a 4 because it looks good, smells good, tastes good-the mouthfeel is the only thing lacking here, so overall its still a 4.

[Best served in a Snifter]
The pour was an espresso jet black with an average sized (1-2 finger) light brown frothy head that was mostly lasting and produced some excellent sheeting on the glass.
The aroma was extremely strong of a fresh ground French Roasted coffee, a burnt black bread malt and an earthy doughy yeast with notes of bakers chocolate and a hint of toffee and black licorice.
The taste was lightly sweet and quite malty with notes of chocolate and toffee early on and then progressed into a strong bitter coffee flavor with a mild alcohol finish. The flavor lasted an average time after the swallow, and had a nice espresso taste that was left to linger.
Mouthfeel was bold and full in body with a dry, oily texture and a mild carbonation.
Overall this brew is very well balanced and quite tasty. It could very well be put into an espresso cup, and would be enjoyed immensely.

Pours a n ebony color with a tight, tan head that leaves good sized bits of lacing.
Smells of deep roasted notes.
Tastes of the deep roasted notes with a moderate sweetness. Notes of coffee, chocolate, and brown sugar mostly make up the malt profile, with a little roasted bitterness coming through as well. Coffee is definitely part of the profile, but is not the main focus here. Some dark fruits also come through.
Mouthfeel is medium with a creamy amount of carbonation.
Overall, a pleasant surprise from a brewery that I never think about. Is it great? No, but it is still tasty and quite cheap ($1.59 a can).

Poured from a can into a tulip. Nice superdark tone, light tan head. Didn't get as much coffee on the nose as I would have liked, but this got better as it warmed. The taste was much better. strong coffee without overwhelming. nice balanced malts with a touch of hop bitter. Overall very solid beer, especially at 8%

As it says, before or after noon and its both as it just hit noon. Thanks to dcloeren for this one.
Pours a creamy thick slight off white colored 1 finger head that fades fairly slowly with tons of lacing, pretty much pitch black thick looking beer. Breakfast?
Nose brings a bit of roast, actually plenty of roasted malt, some coffee with that mostly roasted beans but just a bit of fresh brewed. Then light cocoa, some oats, oatmeal like, hint of acrid roast. Some dark black patent like malt, and hint of caramel.
Taste is as expected, starting with coffee this time, some fresh brewed but also some roasted beans, and some roasted malt with just a bit of acrid bitter roast. More oats with a creamy oatmeal taste, and a bit of super dark bakers chocolate. Some bitterness mostly from the roasted malt but just a hint of earthy hops. Finish is drier bitter and more earthy hops coming out, long lingering coffee and slight metallic acrid, but f fresh earthy coffee too.
Mouth is med to fuller bodied, good carb, creamy oats.
Overall pretty good, nice coffee and roast with just the right touch of acrid bitterness, nice long finish, but just a bit more oats and rich feel would have made it even better.

Extra from a trade with Dimenhetfield thanks! Can poured into a 12 oz Half Acre snifter.
A: Root-beer brown body with a healthy kahki head of 2 fingers, good retention, moderation lacing.
S: Burnt coffee and roasted malts. Not much in terms of toffee or caramel or anything else, but decent nose.
T: Roasted malts and coffee are present. Not a lot of hops or bitterness, which is fine. Not much of a malty backbone. Taste is kind of thin.
M: Moderate carbonation, thin body, watery finish.
O: Not a bad coffee stout, but not great either. To thin on the taste and mouthfeel. This would have been a better coffee porter than imperial stout. Just not enough body to cash that check.

Extra tossed in on a trade and I was surprised at how tasty this was
Overall nothing special about the pour with limited head and very aggressive spent coffee grind forward smell with a hint of leather and roastiness Flavor is what surprised positively with a very nice balance of sweet cocoa, roasted coffee packaged in a nice smooth finish with a solid medium heavy mouthfeel. I would buy again as a cold winter night drinker

Poured into a standard pint glass. Deepest, darkest brown possible. I can call this black but it wouldn't be a very dark black. The highlights are see through and light brown in color. Head is a gigantic five fingers and very explosive but as it recedes it shows it's beautiful creamy look. Lace is looking pretty good as well.
Smell is mostly dark roasted malts. Coffee, charred wood. There is some bright red tart fruit there too.
Taste is actually more chocolate than it is coffee. There is some coffee along with some figs and some hop bitterness and some alcohol burn. This is pretty nice.
Mouth is creamy but a bit on the bright side for an 8% stout. Carbonation is a bit over used. Body is on the heavy side and the finish is average and just a bit on the wet side.
Overall I really enjoyed this. I have had four of the Santa Fe BC offerings and have been pretty satisfied with all of them. This one does not disappoint.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Appearance: The very dark brown liquid is capped with a creamy tan head that leaves a few shards behind, while displaying good retention
Smell: Strong coffee aromatics, almost smelling like Vietnamese coffee (strong brewed and redolent of sugar, vanilla and cream); roasty, as well, and approaching a charred character
Taste: Deeply roasted (almost burnt) malt, up front, with the coffee intruding in the middle, bringing the Vietnamese character from the aroma into the profile - strong brewed, creamy and sweet; the vanilla-influenced sweetness lingers well into the aftertaste
Mouthfeel: Full bodied, with moderate carbonation
Overall: A bit too sweet and a bit too roasty but still a pretty decent example of the style
Thanks, BlueOkie, for the opportunity

Pours a finger of tan head on an almost black body.
The aroma is dominated by the roasted malt and coffee but some lemon comes through to give it a rounded aroma.
The taste is cream, coffee, burnt malt and a mild lemon bitter finish. Excellent.
The texture is soft with crisp edges and moderate carbonation.
Nicely done.

On tap at pub. I had this a couple months ago - finally putting notes in -Well, I hesitate to call this an imperial stout...I would consider this more of a coffee stout, but here we go - rating based on what it tastes like - not the name:
Pour is a bit thin - you can see right through - looks more like a brown ale than IS.
Nose is of coffee and roast malt - a nice Starbucks Verona nose.
First taste really pleases - a nice coffee flavor with roast malt - a hop bitterness provides balance. The coffee flavors are complex and full - not just a blast and fade as many coffee beers are.
I would compare this with Bell's Java Stout, Lakefront Fuel Cafe, etc. As Coffee stouts go, I like the flavor profile here.
I don't consider this an Imperial Stout at all, but this beer works - it is clean - no faults, nice use of coffee - good flavors - satisfying beer...change the name!

Pours a dark brown/black liquid with a big tan head. Very thick and full looking. Fairly opaque.
Smell is excellent. Nice toasty coffee notes.
Flavor is interesting. Very, very dry. Maybe too dry for my tastes. Lots of bitter coffee notes but not enough malty richness. Some hops in there. Lingering bitter aftertaste. I tend to like bitter beers, but this one doesn't quite work for me.
Alcohol doesn't feel like 8% at all.
Mouthfeel is medium to thick. Fair amount of prickle but overall not bad.
Generally, I liked this beer reasonably well, but it doesn't compare with the better Imperial Stouts. I think I would have preferred more balance.

Poured from a 12oz can into a Duvel tulip…opaque black with 2" frothy tan bubbly head with good lacing.
Smells like coffee and I mean a lot of coffee grounds, milk chocolate, spices, vanilla bean and slight amount of tobacco.
Tastes like 2 different coffee beans ground with milk chocolate, vanilla bean, cloves, sweet tobacco leaves, roasted malts and slight caramel backbone.
Mouthfeel is creamy lusciousness - medium bodied with no alcohol presence at all.
Overall surprising coffee stout. I would say this is a Stout Coffee Stout. Recommended.

12oz can into a stemless Hennessy snifter (my pimp hand is strong tonight, bitches!)
Nice appearance, with a rich mahogany brown core that fades outward to a ruddy amber color. The head is a dusty taupe hue, and the quarter inch of foam quickly settles to a ring and a thin veneer of bubbles. A very earthy aroma brings forward freshly ground coffee beans, fresh roasted, too. Dark malts lend notes of chocolate and bread crust, while the hops add a bit of balance to the ensemble.
The flavor matches the aroma's earthiness, and then some. Lots of roastiness to the coffee beans, verging on charred but the base beer dials in the balance just enough that things don't get too carried away. Alcohol is well-hidden. My only knock against this beer is the body--a bit thin for an 8% Imperial Stout. Still, good carbonation level and a clean finish. Overall, a tasty release from Santa Fe that any coffee beer lover should look forward to trying.

From a 12 oz can into a globe glass.
A-The beer was nearly pitch black. An aggressive pour produced a tall (two-plus fingers) head of grayish-brown head. The head dropped after a minute or two into a cap and left decent lacing on the glass.
S-Smell was strong coffee (espresso), roasted malts, and light bitterness. A little simple, but for a coffee stout, it delivered the goods.
T-Taste was also strong, slightly bitter coffee. There was some baking chocolate and smokiness, as well. A few demerits for a slightly metallic taste on the finish.
M-Feel was medium bodied with low carbonation. The brew was a touch watery for the style, but not awful.
O-This was a solid coffee stout. I found the coffee flavors to be straight-forward and not as complex as some, but sometimes simplicity is a good thing. The brew loses points for a weak mouthfeel and a somewhat odd finish, but I would drink this again when I'm in the mood for an affordable, easy-to-drink coffee brew.

12 oz can dated best by July 2013 poured a very dark brown color; clear, with a light brown head.
Nose: more hops than expected, matched in strength by coffee, with dark malts more in the background.
Flavor: mild-moderate bitterness until the moderately bitter finish and aftertaste. Good balance of hops, malts and coffee. Lot of coffee in the aftertaste. Some very dark roast flavor but only a hint of char.
Feel: carbonated is a bit more lively than expected, but works well; smooth; medium-full body. The ABV is well hidden.
O: an attractively priced, high quality, robust coffee stout. Recommended.

12 oz can poured into pint glass. Appearance is opaque and black with a layer of tan head that retains nicely. The smell has bold roast espresso with some assertive hops present as well. Taste is chocolatey up front and is followed up by dry bitter espresso. Nice bold and beany finish. Mouthfeel is relatively light for style and abv. Overall, tons of espresso in the nose and flavor, missing a little in the way of body and depth.

yet another reason to say that canned beers have caught up with bottled beer.
A deep dark brown color with a beige head, fairly minimal in extent. Good lacing though.
Excellent smokey nose.
A wonderful complex taste with smokey, oakey, chocolatey coffee flavors. And somewhere, somehow, a little bit of spiciness works its way in.
The excellent mouthfeel makes this very drinkable and is topped off
by a real clean finish.
Altogether, this will be something i'll look for although with the
minimalist labeling, you may have to really keep your eye out.

Poured into a shaker pint.
The brew resembles java not just in name, but in appearance. Pitch black and watery thin, the liquid is capped by a pillowy head of cascading bubbles the color of brown sugar. Frothy trails of lace coat the sides of the glass like latte foam.
Because their dark, toasty, burnt flavors often overlap, few ingredients work together so well in a beer as roasted malt and coffee beans. For Imperial Java Stout, Santa Fe makes use of organically grown East Timor coffee beans blended with New Guinea coffee beans, both of which are roasted by Ohori's Coffee House in Santa Fe. The result is a stout that's huge in coffee aroma and flavor. The scent is akin to burying your nose in a cupful of java -- it's packed with espresso and sweet cream. Touches of sourdough and a shot of chocolate syrup mingle in the background.
The flavor delivers a similar dose of roasted beans, though it's a little more acidic. A complex blend of American Bravo and English Fuggle hops lend subtle spice and earthy qualities, while touches of burnt toast play off the coffee. It's a bit harsh -- like very, very black coffee -- until the the swallow delivers oats and cream, sweetening and smoothing things out.
If you're not a fan of coffee, you'll probably hate this beer, because the flavor is riddled with it, and the coffee actually overpowers the underlying stout. But the beans are quality, and if you're looking to swap out your morning joe with something a little more alcoholic, pour this in your mug. No one will be the wiser.

Over the years there have been various books written on Francis Schaeffer, ranging from books reflecting on his life, discussion of his legacy to the critical evaluation of his apologetics. So why read another book on Francis Schaeffer, and particularly this book? What makes this work stand out among other books? What is unique about this book, is the author's focus on the spiritual life of Francis Schaeffer, something the author argues was Schaeffer's "most significant raison d'ete" that could be more thoroughly examined (Page 13). This work is not just a simple chronological presentation of historical facts from Schaeffer's life; though Part one discusses the necessary biographical information of "the man and his times." Rather the meat of the book is divided into two parts: (1) True Spirituality and (2) Trusting God for all of life. I enjoyed how the book captures Schaeffer's spiritual life of embracing Biblical doctrines and a Spirit filled life. Schaeffer was a man who didn't compromise with the fundamentals of the faith while at the same time he was able to truly love those who were lost and desiring their salvation. I'm particularly grateful for the author's anecdotes sprinkled throughout the book of his personal knowledge of Francis Schaeffer and his family. Francis Schaeffer was used by the Lord to bring the author, William Edgar, to salvation when he was a young Harvard college student. Edgar is currently a professor of apologetics at Westminster Theological Seminary, a testimony of the spiritual impact that Francis Schaeffer has made upon the author. Schaeffer did not always have everything accurate when it came to the details of philosophy and Edgar acknowledges this in his book. What I appreciated about this work is that Edgar was able to admit to Schaeffer's imperfection without tarnishing the man or being nit-picky. In fact, I thought this further advanced the author's thesis that Schaeffer's spiritual life played a greater influence in his ministry than just philosophy or apologetics in of itself. As the author recounts: while not everyone necessarily came to faith after visiting Schaeffer's L'Abri, no one doubts that Francis Schaeffer is a loving worldview evangelist with a pastoral heart. And in an age where doubt is encouraged as a virtue, that's very telling. I wholeheartedly recommend this book. Readers who are familiar with Cornelius Van Til and Hans Rookmaaker will also get a treat from Edgar's perspective in his comparison and contrast of these men, and Schaeffer's relationship to these men.

This is one of the books I recommended for this year's Christian worldview and apologetics presents suggestion.
This is a good introduction to a Christian view on art. They say don't judge a book by it's cover and for this work I would also add that neither should you judge a book by it's size–the book turned out to be better than I expected. Francis Schaeffer delivers in this work that's really two chapters/essay that lays the foundation for the development of a Christian view of art. In the first chapter, Schaeffer attempts to establish Biblically that art is a godly pursuit. He begins his case with the Lordship of Christ, in which Christ and God is in charge of every area of the Christian life including their creative pursuits. Acknowledging that some Christians invoke the Ten commandments of not having graven images as an objection towards art, Schaeffer has a beautiful and powerful presentation of the Biblical data that this cannot be what the prohibition means since the Bible has arts. Schaeffer surveys the Tabernacle, the Temple and Solomon's temple for evidence that God approves of art and even biblically backs up a case for poetry, dance and drama. In chapter two, Schaeffer goes over ten principles concerning the direction of how Christians ought to pursue their venture with art and how to evaluate art. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated his four criteria of evaluating art: 1.) Technical abilities (artistic skills), 2.) validity (Schaeffer meant whether they are attempting to really show what the artist believed, or whether they have become mercenaries in their art), 3.) their worldview intellectual content and 4.) message's relationship to the artistic vehicle. Delineating these four criteria proves to be helpful and can help us as Christians become more nuance when we say what we mean when we dislike a work of art and/or why we like it though not everything is good about it. Excellent work, I thoroughly recommend it.

Francis Schaeffer has made a tremendous impact in Christianity, and whose disciples are still making their impact today. Among his classics is the book and the video series, "How then Shall We Live?" While I would add the caveat that sometimes Schaeffer broad brush things, in general I think this work does point us to the right direction in terms of biblically critiquing cultures and history. While not as thoroughly Van Tillian as other students of the great apologist Cornelius Van Til, readers will note some Presuppositional streaks to his apologetics.
Here are the videos of the ten part series "How then Shall We Live?" Though it's ten parts, divided into 16 You Tube clips in this play list. Enjoy!
Posted in Bible, Bible Commentary, Book of Joshua, Book Review, Devotional books, Francis Schaeffer, tagged francis scheffer on November 10, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
Usually, when I read a commentary for devotional purposes, I read the passage from the Bible first then I consult a commentary with an eye for additional insight or observation and point of application I might have missed. I usually weigh commentaries in that regard with what it brings out from the text. Schaffer brought out insights to things that I missed not only upon my first reading of the passage, but my previous reading of Joshua also as well. To that end, I thought this work was helpful. For instance, I did not noticed before that the memorial of the stones that Jacob commanded Israel to lay was on the Jordan itself from rocks that were on land and also rocks from the Jordan unto dry land in Joshua 4. This seemingly trivial point is explained by Schaeffer as being significant since the stones from the river (assuming it looks different) will stand out on dry land and vice versa as a memorial of God's faithfulness when God once again parting water for Israel. Francis Schaeffer also had a good section on the Abrahamic covenant of God as the background to what was going on in Joshua in terms of receiving the promise land. It's always beautiful seeing the flow of biblical theology being taken into account in interpreting a passage. The book also had a theologically rich chapter that focused on Joshua 8:30-35 on what Mount Ebal and Gerizim meant, where Schaeffer was able to use it to point to the gospel with the altar on Mount Ebal (the mountain of curses and judgment), of how this symbolizes that there is a need for the cleansing of sins. This commentary also answered a question I had for a while but neglected in finding the answer to. I've known before that the 12 tribes of Israel included two sons of Joseph which made me wonder how is it that there are 12 tribes instead of 13 if the tribes are from Jacob's 12 sons. The math never added up to me until Schaeffer's note from Genesis 49 that there is a prophecy that Simeon was to be without their own land. Over all, for a devotional flavor commentary, this work had good use of antecedent theology in interpreting the text, with Schaeffer using the Laws of Moses to make sense of what was going on in Joshua. Examples have already been cited above but added to this is the chapter on the city of Refuge, which must be understood in light of the directions and technicalities of Deuteronomy 4:41-43, Deuteronomy 19:1-13, Numbers 35:4-5 and 34:15-30. I also enjoyed the fact that Francis Schaeffer points out that when we look at the Bible, events took place in "time and space," that is, in history. The ramification of that is huge: history is going somewhere. It is objectively meaningful. Of all people, Christians should be interested in the study of history since we know of God's plan, promises and providence.

Covenant Theological Seminary has for free Seminary lectures on the early years of Francis Schaeffer by Jerram Barrs, which is available by clicking HERE.
This is the course description on their website:
Course Description
Identification of the biblical emphasis in the thought and life of Francis and Edith Schaeffer, with a focus on the development of their early ministry in the United States and Europe and the founding of L'Abri. The course considers issues related to spiritual growth, the Christian family, the unity of the church, Christians and the arts, and various aspects of Christian ministry.
The same lecture series is also available on ITUNES!
After hearing the whole lecture, I thought the series was pretty good. The professor personally knew the Schaeffers, and he brought out interesting insight from time to time. Those stories are gold. The early years of Francis Schaeffer, and that of his family are important background to understanding the development of Schaeffer's thought and attitude. Interesting is the discussion of the Evangelical and Fundamentalist distinction that play much in understanding Schaeffer's life's theme of "Truth and LOVE." The lectures are also heavily dependent upon the book, THE TAPESTRY, by the wife Edith Schaeffer who wrote about their family's journey. Definitely worth listening to, whether you are familiar with Schaeffer's work, or you have heard about Francis Schaeffer but never read his work yet (which will be a good introduction).

There is something not right in the head with Frank Schaeffer, the son of Francis Schaeffer who has left his Evangelical faith.
He may no longer be crazy for God (a title of one of his book), but that does not mean Franky is no longer crazy (see the backlog of Veritas Domain's entry on Franky by clicking HERE.).
In an interview on MSNBC on July 6th, 2011, Franky makes the accusation that the Tea Party movement is racist. I quote,
Barack Obama is going to be reelected and reelected with a big margin, because I think that people understand, a lot of ordinary Americans who aren't on the religious right understand something and that is as the first African-American president, he has been up against a racist white bloc in the Republican Party that has come dressed as the Tea Party, the religious right, all sorts of excuses.
Franky's argument seems to be propelled by more heat than light–more fallacies such as ad hominem attacks seen above, than actual content of substance.
Besides the ad hominem fallacy Franky commits, I also thought it is rather ironic that he can call the Tea Party racists in light of recent news with the presidential campaign. If picture are worth a thousand words, Henry Payne's cartoon communicates ten thousand more words concerning Frank Schaeffer's outlandish assertion and slanderous lies.

Frank Schaeffer, the son of Francis Schaeffer has pretty much turn against his father's legacy (theology and worldview) and made a name for himself base upon bashing his father.
I don't know about you, but when I hit his age, I don't want to be known by the world as a man who hates his father and can't make any contribution to society without trying to be a parasite of the very father you hate. That's just sad–whether it's a rebelling teenager and even more so for a grown man that's a grandpa.
The subject of Frank Schaeffer's irrational attack against Evangelical Christianity and worldview is not a new topic on Veritas Domain. He often engages in the sloppy fallacy of guilt by association in his argumentation, in the most unsophisticated and angry form. For instance, back in April 1st, 2010 Frak wrote a piece in his column for Huffington Post titled, "The Evangelical Mainstream Insanity Behind the End Times Michigan Militia" in which he tied a militia that wants to kill cops back to his dad and himself back in his Evangelical days. No surprise there if you have followed Frank for any time, everything bad supposedly comes from Franky and his father. It's as if Franky would want you to believe that the root of all evil is his father. Frank writes,
A federal prosecutor in Michigan says authorities decided to arrest members of the Hutaree Christian militia after learning "they were prepared to kill."
When I first learned of the news I went to the Hutaree Militia homepage and was struck by the fact that their site included links to a number of evangelical "End Times" sites like that of the Jack Van Impe ministries.
In the 1970s and 80s I appeared several times with Jack Van Impe on his TV program. His act was to predict the "imminent" return of Jesus. My act was to raise money for my latest far religious right effort to make abortion illegal.
As the son of well known evangelicals and far right leader Francis Schaeffer I was in the middle of the chain of events that led to the arrests of men prepared to kill cops for Jesus. The rhetoric we in the early pro-life movement unleashed combined, with the apocalyptic fantasies of the fundamentalist evangelicals, is a deadly brew.
From the above quote, readers will see that Frank believes his father and him were in the chain of events behind this dangerous militia, along with some quarters of the Pop Dispensationalist's Evangelicals.
Frank also see these Pop Dispensationalist contribute to the birth of the Tea Party, something Schaeffer totally despises:
Knowingly or unknowingly, Jenkins and LaHaye cashed in on years of evangelical/fundamentalists' imagined victim-hood –something that is now key to understanding the Tea Party movement.
Frank's conclusion to his piece then makes the comparison of the Michigan militia to the Tea Party, with the assertion that the Tea Party movement shares in this violent ideology (and suggestion that they are morally culpable for it):
The truth is that the "crazies" in Michigan are just acting on what millions of evangelicals say they believe and I don't only mean about the so called End Times. I also mean that these days the Tea Party movement is spouting a rhetoric of doom and extremism that holds that the American government and even the nation is no longer legitimate. Add in the theology and you have a self-fulfilling "prophecy" of Armageddon. Sadly we have not seen the last of such actions.
Of course, Frank's argument runs totally on the bandwagoning fallacy, from bandwagoning his father to the Militia, Pop Dispensationalists to his dad, the Militia to the Pop Dispensationalists, the Pop Dispensationalist to the Tea Party and finally the Tea Party to the Militia, and since a subset of these (the militia) has planned to carry out violence therefore all these are dangerous and ought to be rejected because of their "similarities."
It might not be easy for Franky to see the fallacies because of his passionate emotion, so I thought it best be illustrated by applying his own standard back to himself with his current views. Enter in the Occupy Movement.
This movement has been plagued with violence and all sorts of problem, whether it's at Wall Street, Washington DC, San Francisco or Portland.
Some have been so consume by their ideology, they will even push an old lady down:
And block handicaps from getting out:
Some have attacked officers by stabbing them, been arrested for carrying explosives, rape in Philadelphia, sexual assaults elsewhere, interfering with other's freedom of assembly, hurting businesses, comitting crimes such as vandalism, tresspassing, theft, pooping everywhere, urinating everywhere, etc.
Is Huffington Post responsible for all of this, since to borrow Schaeffer's reasoning (but with different referents plugged in):
Knowingly or unknowingly, Huffington Post cashed in on years of Progressive and Liberal imagined victim-hood –something that is now key to understanding the Occupy movement.
And since Franky has been with Huffington Post for years, blogging for them, writing against the 1% and others who are rich, Republican or religious in blogs, books and articles, can we say that the Occupy Wall Street is acting out what he believes?
Frank might say that all these bad things about Occupy Wall Street has been done by a few fringe trying to hijack the movement, whether Marxists, anarchists or plain old bad people. But if he reason that way making this fine distinction, can he do the same when it comes those on the more conservative spectrum as well?
As much as Franky talk and talk about the Tea Party will be violent, Occupy Wall Street has BEEN much more criminal and violent.
Will Franky come out and condemn the Occupy Movement and expose it's danger? And more importantly, will he own up to his hypocrisy?

Posted in Cornelius Van Til, Francis Schaeffer, Greg Bahnsen, Presuppositional Apologetics, presuppositionalism, Van Til on December 11, 2010 | 4 Comments »
This is a book I can give a hearty recommendation for!
While Bahnsen's "Always Ready" has been read widely than perhaps any of his other works, I think this current volume by Bahnsen is much more superior to "Always Ready" and recommended as the first work to read as an introduction to Bahnsen's work. The book was "lost" for several decades, originally written by the author as a chapter to another book. The project became big enough to be a separate volume! It is incredible to think that he wrote this as a young man in his mid-twenties. I have met people who have thought "Always Ready" was too repetitive and disjointed, and while I myself have not found that to be true, it is certainly understandable since it was put together after his death from a collection of Bahnsen's writing. The work heavily emphasizes the theme of God's self-attesting Word more than "Always Ready" did, and I think rightly so. I think this theme of God's self-attestation needs to be foundational to Presuppositional Apologetics, lest the rest of the endeavor not make sense. In light of some debate on the internet concerning the Transcendental Argument, I think any revisit of Bahnsen's formulation should consider the role of the self-attestation of God's truth in Bahnsen's understanding of Presuppositionalim. One the unique aspect of this book is not only it's positive statement of Presuppositionalism, but also it's critique of other "Presuppositionalism." In particular, he critiques Gordon Clark, and this is the most lengthy critique I've seen in print from a Van Tillian vantage point. I think it is the best work done by a Van Tillian in this regard. Also interesting read is his critique of Francis Schaeffer. With each individuals, he considers their strengths and citation which shows where they agree with Van Til. Then he proceeds to go over significant disagreement. Excellent work, highly recommended.

Insightful analysis by consultants Steve Taylor and Jim Metzler, plus links to the latest WAN news headlines
In a recent paper posted at Webtorials, Cisco advocated the integration of WAN optimization features into the router. This brings into focus once again the perennial question of exactly how many features should be incorporated into a single piece of equipment. In fact, longtime readers of this column will remember that about 10 years ago we were discussing whether the DSU/CSU should be integrated with the router.
Consequently, we're starting a point-counterpoint discussion of whether WAN optimization is best accomplished within the router or by using a separate appliance. To start the discussion this week, Mark Weiner, director of product marketing, Cisco application networking services, addresses the positive side of making this move.
Mark comments: "As WAN optimization is quickly becoming a mainstream technology for the enterprise, it is important to analyze and understand optimal deployment scenarios. While offering the deployment flexibility of both appliance-based and router-integrated solutions, Cisco believes there are economic, security and VoIP benefits to integrating WAN optimization technology within the router – both logically and physically. In the first part of these comments, we will focus on understanding the economic benefits.
"Gartner research and Cisco customer analysis both indicate that over the full deployment lifecycle of a network, the upfront cost of buying equipment is typically the smaller part (20%) of the total cost of ownership, compared with the ongoing operational costs (80%).
"To maximize WAN optimization benefits while minimizing its total cost of ownership, the 80% OpEx issue must be addressed head-on. Based on feedback from customers, Cisco has seen that embedding WAN optimization directly in the router has been proven to reduce OpEx by 70% through less rack space, power and cooling, improved mean time between failures (MTBF), ease of staff training and management, and consolidated support contracts.
"Norcraft Companies, a leader in the kitchen and bath cabinetry industry, has deployed WAN optimization to support their nationwide branch server consolidation initiative. With Cisco Wide Area Application Services (WAAS) deployed, Norcraft Companies saw 68-84% acceleration benefits for Microsoft SQL and print traffic. 'Cisco's router-integrated WAN optimization minimizes our OpEx by allowing us to centrally pre-configure WAN optimization with routers and install them at remote offices without sending our limited IT staff onsite,' says Darin Wipf, Director of IT at Norcraft Companies. 'Its similar management interface with the router required no new training for my IT staff.'
"In a brief 9-month period of shipping the popular Cisco Integrated Services Routers (ISR) with embedded WAAS WAN optimization, Cisco has helped more than 1,000 organizations of all sizes to achieve additional OpEx savings beyond traditional WAN optimization benefits, and pay for upfront CapEx faster. In fact, more than 60% of all Cisco branch office WAN optimization deployments include WAAS modules for the Cisco ISR."

The Finance Ministry has strongly pitched for putting a cap or limit to which natural gas prices can be hiked following a new pricing formula that will come into effect from April 1.
The ministry said a ceiling on the gas price is necessary to protect the interests of government/consumers in case of an unreasonable upswing in the prices.
The comments, issued with the approval of Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, were in response to a draft Cabinet note from the Oil Ministry seeking to allow higher gas price to Reliance Industries (RIL) if it submits a bank guarantee for the unmet supply commitment from its KG-D6 block.
Sources with direct knowledge of the development said the Finance Ministry, which had on July 4 and September 26 favoured a cap on gas price, reiterated the position early this month saying that natural gas producers can't be allowed to reap unlimited gains in the case of an upswing in global prices.
Any such upside has to be capped, it said.
Capping the price of natural gas is in line with the existing policy, the ministry said, adding that the current price was a variable one with an upper limit of USD 4.2.
"In fact, the previous price of USD 4.2 per million British thermal unit was subject to a cap (cap would come in force once the crude price exceeded USD 60 per barrel), and therefore, there is no ambiguity as to whether the price ceiling is permissible under the PSC," it said.
The Cabinet had in June decided to price all domestically produced natural gas at an average of the price prevailing at international gas trading hubs and the actual cost of importing liquefied natural gas (LNG).
The pricing formula will be effective April 1, 2014 for a period of five years, with the price being revised quarterly.
Prices for each quarter will be calculated based on the 12-month trailing average price with a lag of one quarter (i.e. price for April to June 2014 will be calculated based on the average for 12 months ended December 31, 2013).
Using the approved formula, the prices

Yep, typing one handed and for the reason most people type one handed on the internet. I was preparing dinner yesterday and my left index finger curled when it should have stayed straight. End result, missing a good piece of the pad of my finger.
Fortunately, I guess, my blade was nice and sharp so it was a clean cut. Not that it prevented it from bleeding any less. It only bled for about an hour. (Yes, I probably should have gone to urgent care, but being woosy precluded me from getting behind the wheel of a car.)
I going now, it is taking too long to type this way.

Joyful Noise
Kathryn Schroeder
Released: January 13, 2012
Watch Trailer
Buy Media
The small town of Pacashau, Georgia, has fallen on hard times, but the people are counting on the Divinity Church Choir to lift their spirits by winning the National Joyful Noise Competition. The choir has always known how to sing in harmony, but the discord between its two leading ladies now threatens to tear them apart. Their newly appointed director, Vi Rose Hill (Latifah), stubbornly wants to stick with their tried-and-true traditional style, while the fiery G.G. Sparrow (Parton) thinks tried-and-true translates to tired-and-old.
Shaking things up even more is the arrival of G.G.'s rebellious grandson, Randy (Jeremy Jordan). Randy has an ear for music, but he also has an eye for Vi Rose's beautiful and talented daughter, Olivia (Keke Palmer), and the sparks between the two teenagers are causing even more friction between G.G. and Vi Rose. If these two strong-willed women can put aside their differences for the good of the people in their town, they-and their choir-may make the most joyful noise of all.
Joyful Noise - (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Film Review
The setting of
Joyful Noise
is a small-town where the main street used to be bustling with independently owned shops and is now covered in going out of business signs. Time's are tough for the people of Pacashau, Georgia, but the one thing they have, that gives them hope, is the success of their town choir at the Divinity Church. The annual National Joyful Noise competition trophy has eluded them for years; they can never manage to get passed the regional finals and with money being scarce this may be the last year they have a chance. This story of hope that
Joyful Noise
sings is littered with tragedy, sadness, and an all-around feeling of gloom. While the hope exists in the music the choir sings it is difficult on a viewer to weed through the pain of the rest of the plot in order to feel optimistic.
The two main families of the film are led by none other than Dolly Parton, as G.G. Sparrow, and equally stage-commanding Queen Latifah, as Vi Rose Hill. G.G. is dealt the heaviest blow right from the beginning of the film, her husband and the choir's musical director Bernard (Kris Kristofferson), dies from what appears to be a heart attack. Mark that as tragic moment number one for
Joyful Noise
. On a good note for G.G., her grandson Randy (Jeremy Jordan) makes a surprise visit to town and with him comes a desire to shake things up at the choir. Newly appointed choir director Vi is not happy about the newest addition of Randy to the choir, nor does she like the attraction between him and her daughter Olivia (Keke Palmer) even if the two of them singing together sends sparks flying. Randy is a wild-card and his spending time with the good-girl Olivia is troublesome for Vi; the way he is able to help her son who has aspergers syndrome does melt her heart. Vi's family is experiencing difficult times as well; because that is how it goes for everyone in
Joyful Noise
. Vi's husband, and the father of her children, left two years ago to re-enlist in the army. His departure left scars for everyone and a heavy burden on Vi to raise the children herself. The hits keep coming for the supporting characters as well, from losing their family businesses to death in the unlikeliest of places due to high blood pressure. The characters in the film definitely need some joy, as do the audience members who watch all the awful things happen to them one-by-one.
Joyful Noise
is full of highs and lows emotionally yet it lacks a coherent tempo to the story-at-large. So many things are being dealt with in a variety of ways and with differing tones it is hard to focus or keep pace with what is occurring. The musical interludes are wonderful, it is the other "stuff" that gets bogged down with overly melodramatic scenarios and made-for-tv style dialogue. Diving deeper into the lives of the characters is a great way to round out the story of a music choir but without the choir being the backbone of their lives, as it never does become in
Joyful Noise
, it all feels like filler in an otherwise rich musical. Parton and Latifah are wonderful to watch, especially together with their antagonist relationship, and the music is exceptional, it is the story itself that leads one astray in
Joyful Noise
See Musical Numbers.
Musical Numbers
The music the choir performs in
Joyful Noise
is outstanding. The opening scene features them singing "Not Enough Love" and it immediately propels the viewer into a euphoric state of musical bliss. These women and men can sing, and not just Dolly Parton (G.G.) and Queen Latifah (Vi) but Keke Palmer (Olivia) too. When Jeremy Jordan (Randy) joins up things only improve as well. Using modern pop songs to take a spin on gospel music you are treated to Michael Jackson's "
Man In the Mirror
," Paul McCartney's "
Maybe I'm Amazed
," and some new songs to please fans of gospel music and soon to be fans. The emotions behind the songs as they are performed is phenomenal and may bring tears to one's eyes. The finale is beyond epic proportions, with the dancing and singing combined, making even the least religious person moved by the singular display of emotion this choir feels singing about their religious leader.
Joyful Noise
is a great musical, hidden inside of an average melodrama. Go for the music, or just buy the

Pictures From Noise of Art® at Latitude Festival
by Noise of Art Team on Aug.14, 2013, under Events
The first pictures from Noise of Art® at Latitude festival have been posted on Noise of Art's facebook page (view by clicking here)
Noise of Art's electronic music and cross platform art event, Wicker Man Disco Inferno, was inspired the 1973 film (Wicker Man) and the book that inspired the film (Ritual – click here for info).
We worked with the book's author, David Pinner, creating a music and spoken word sound track, spoken live by Nathaniel Parker (best known for playing Inspector Lynley in the Inspector Lynley Mysteries TV series, as well as for playing Gordon Brown opposite Helen Mirren in The Audience).
Alongside this new music by Groove Armada and Ben Osborne, played by seminal electronic musician Si Begg and DJ Ben Osborne, was joined by cross platform art performances and artworks by Overlap, The People Pile, Mark Scott Wood and the Noise of Art performers – including wearable art pieces based on Luigi Russolo's intonorumori.

Following fabulously fun and innovative shows at BFI and Latitude, including Nathaniel Parker ducking out of Royal Shakespeare Company rehearsals to do live vocals, we're jumping into the holiday season with a new Club launch by our sister outlet Slipped Disco – more details below.
Thank you to everyone who came along to the first three of Noise of Art's 100 Years of Electronic music celebrations at Latitude, British Film Institute Southbank and Village Underground. And special thanks to Nathaniel Parker, Si Begg, Coldcut, Mental Overdrive, Frost, Slow and all the performers and artists taking part in the 100 year project so far. Nat Parker was a revelation on vocals. There's much more to come. Our gratitude also to David Pinner, author of Ritual, the book that inspired Wicker Man, who selected passages for the show.
More "100 Years of Electronic Music" shows to come soon, but in the meantime there's some info on this month's sister events here. August dates include Buffalo (3 August), The Angel (10), ECD (19) Big Chill Bar (23) Bar Concrete at Hayward Gallery (30)).
Above is the first snap from our Wicker Man Disco Inferno show at Latitude 2013.

Groove Armada (Tom DJ Set), Nathaniel Parker (Inspector Lynley Mysteries), Si Begg, Ben Osborne, Overlap, The People Pile, Mark Scott Wood and Art.
Following last year's celebration of psychedelic music at Latitude, Noise of Art returns to celebrate the ongoing connection between the post psychedelic period and electronic music.
On the 40th anniversary of the cult film, Wicker Man, Noise of Art debuts its electronic music, film and art show inspired by the 1973 British cinema classic.
The event combines nightclub, cinema, theatre and contemporary dance, including a DJ set by Groove Armada, accompanied by book readings and spoken word performance from stage and screen star Nathaniel Parker.
Parker's leading roles include staring in the TV series Inspector Lynley Mysteries and Merlin. He has just finished a West End run, appearing alongside Dame Helen Mirren in the Award winning stage play, The Audience. He will be reading passages from David Pinner's Ritual, the book that inspired the film, which have been specially selected for this show by the author.
Cult London club royalty DJ Tom Findlay, of Groove Armada, will make a rare festival appearance, alongside DJ Ben Osborne, founder of Noise of Art, playing dance beats to accompany the spoken word performance. The show features Noise of Art's renown cinema-graphic visual projections, live electronic music (including electronic violin) and a newly created contemporary dance piece.
100 years of electronic music and film ft. Coldcut, Mental Overdrive, Slow, Frost, Gaggle, Ben Osborne & more at BFI
by Noise of Art Team on Jun.03, 2013, under Events
The second major event in Noise of Art's 100 years celebration sees electronic music return home, as the BFI's Sonic Cinema presents "Noise of Art's Electric Nights", celebrating a century of Electronic Music and Silent Cinema.
Featuring Pudovkin's classic 1926 film Mother, with short films from the 1920s and live music and DJ sets by: Coldcut; Mental Overdrive; Aggie Frost; Slow; Gaggle; Ben Osborne, the event takes place at BFI Southbank, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX
Marking 100 years since Luigi Russolo began the story of electronic music by writing 'A Manifesto for an Art of Noises', tonight brings electronic music back to its earliest home – not the nightclub, but the cinema.
Russolo first performed with a proto-synthesiser in 1914 and after WWI he started soundtracking early film in cinemas in Paris. The evening connects a century of film and electronic music.
The main feature is the UK debut of a new live score to Vsevolod Pudovkin's 1926 masterpiece Mother. The music has been created by cross-border collaboration between celebrated Russian electronic musician Slow, Norwegian cosmic disco outfit Mental Overdrive and electronic artist Aggie Frost. Their live soundtrack, played in the UK for the first and probably only time, was commissioned by Norway's TIFF festival earlier this year. Their re-working breathes new life and intensity into the revered film.
Accompanying the feature, pioneering electronic act Coldcut will be putting new music to films from the Russolo era, while Noise of Art's Ben Osborne adds music using recordings of Russolo's own sounds. The screening will be followed by a party in the Benugo Bar with a performance by Gaggle. Tickets £15, concs £11.50 (Members pay £1.50 less)
Presented in association with TIFF

Noise of Art starts its celebration of 100 years of electronic music with a rare as hens teeth chance to see the Eccentronic Research Council, featuring Maxine Peake, live
Marking a century since Luigi Russolo, the Italian futurist, published his 'Manifesto for An Art of Noises' (1913) and designed what many hold to be the first synthesiser, the celebrations will see a series of music and cross platform art events taking place over the next year. The Launch party references the role Sheffield played in electronic music and the era defining music that came out of London's clubs at the turn of the 21st Century.
Headlining the show is the Eccentronic Research Council, featuring film, stage and TV star Maxine Peak on vocals. Amongst her many roles, Peake has starred in Shameless, Dinner Ladies, Clubbed and Silk, and is about to headline the 2013 Manchester International Festival.
This is the first time Eccentronic Research Council has played in London (having turned down every previous offer) and will be the only chance to see the cross-platform band perform their acclaimed '1612 Underture' in the Capital. If you miss this you have really missed out.
The core of Eccentronic Research Council, apart from Maxine, are Dean Hohner and Adrian Flanagan, two vintage synth enthusiasts who are themselves part of Sheffield's electronic and leftfield heritage, having been members of band's such as I Monster, Kings Have long Arms, The Chanteuse & The Crippled Claw and All Seeing Eye. They count Sheffield legends such as DJ Parrot, Jarvis Cocker and Phil Oakey in their circle.
Keeping the party going all night long, will be a core collection of London DJs from the most legendary London nightclubs at the start of the 21st Century.
Pioneering what was at times called electroclash, electro house, indie dance, new rave, disco punk, the Hoxton sound, Berlin sound and, simply, electro (but all the while trying to wriggle out of having a name at all), the clubs rebelled against the over-produced dance music of the late Nineties and looked back to early synthesiser music for inspiration; something they have in common with ECR's love of vintage analogue sounds – plenty of which will be on hand tonight.
The clubs, such as Nag Nag Nag , The Cock, Trash and Anti Social, all returned to electronic music's dirtier sounding roots, but came back with different takes.
Representing these clubs tonight will be Fil Ok, resident DJ and founder of the legendary Nag Nag Nag. Jim Stanton, DJ and creator of The Cock, one of the clubs, alongside Trash, responsible for the sound in London, and Scottee, the DJ and performance artist who, along with Buster, was behind Anti Social, the maddest and baddest new rave club of them all.
Justin Robertson, legendary DJ, Bugged Out resident and original Hacienda Acid houser, will be wearing his Deadstock 33's hat, a new nom de plume that sees him delve back to the heyday of New York anti-disco in a way that only he could. Check out his sublime new LP on Munk's seminal imprint, Gomma, to see what we mean.
Meanwhile the DJ's DJ, Italian stallion Severino, who alongside Jim Stanton was a founder member of Horse Meat Disco (the night that brought disco back), will be flying the flag for his synthesiser inventing and electronic music fathering compatriot, Luigi Russolo.
DJ and Noise of Art founder Ben Osborne will be intervening at various points, incorporating some of the electronic sounds created by Luigi Russolo into his contemporary dancefloor set. And there's more to be announced…
Details of the next event to be announced shortly.

Southbank Centre
Belvedere Road

Free Entry
8pm – 1am
Long running electronic music night, Slipped Disco, slides back into its residency at the Southbank Centre at the Hayward Gallery's bar.
Featuring Slipped Disco's open ended music policy of all things dancefloor, from proto disco, to techno templates, trap, cosmic house, indie dance and neo hip-hop.
Time Out said of January's Slipped Disco at Concrete: "Obscenely fun electronic oddness. This pleases us very much indeed, primarily because of the anything-goes music policy that sees anything from classic techno, punk-funk, galactic house, deep down and dirty disco and other dancefloor dynamite do the rounds. Welcome back, Slipped Disco, and let the fun and weirdness begin again." (Time Out January 2013)
"Whether penning features, currating Noise of Art projects or simply playing out, Ben Osborne likes to keep busy. Slipped Disco, his own night, has played a part in rescuing nights for everyone in need of somewhere to let their hair down." Flavourpill.
Gaggle join 17 May Line Up
by Noise of Art Team on Apr.09, 2013, under Events
Drawing inspiration from Russolo's classification of voice as one of the core 'noise' sounds of futurist music, Gaggle, the spectacular all-girl alt choir Led by Deborah Coughlin, will be contributing a prototype version of their forthcoming Noise of Art collaboration on 17 May.
More about the collaboration to be released soon, but with NME describing Gaggle as: "The most exciting, innovative and genuinely imaginative force in music right now", it's likely to be head turning.
More about 17 May '100 Years of Electronic Music' launch party below…
100 Years Launch Party with Eccentronic Research Council

Marking a century since Luigi Russolo, the Italian futurist, published his 'Manifesto for An Art of Noises' (1913) – and in the process designed what is believed to be the first synthesiser, the celebrations will see a series of music and cross platform art events taking place over the next year.

Percona Playback is a tool for executing a set of queries against a database in as realistic a way as possible to simulate production load.
Percona Playback is designed to take captured database load in the form of a MySQL slow query log or a tcpdump capture of MySQL protocol traffic and replay that load against a different database server. It can be used to benchmark server options, different MySQL versions or variants and be useful to developers in testing patches to the server that are meant to improve performance.
It's goal is to make it easier to replay load captured from production environments, something which has been tricky in the past. You can also alter how the load is played back: accurate, as fast as possible etc.
