TAKE BACK THE LAND     a youth conference for families "Take your place in the battle for revival and reformation in America."

Northern VA / March 8 & 9 Rick Boyer   We're so excited about our conference, Take Back the Land!  We know you're as concerned as we are about the future of our beloved country and the freedoms we so desperately want to preserve for our children.  That's why Rick, Marilyn, Rick Jr. and Nate Boyer are bringing this ministry to northern Virginia on March 8 & 9, 2013 . This is the second Take Back the Land conference, and it's less than a month away! Go to our TBL web site  NOW and register your family:  www.takebacktheland.com.       We promise you will leave encouraged, challenged and equipped to effectively fight God's battle for American culture.   You know that America was established as a distinctively Christian nation.  You also know that we have drifted dangerously far from our founding principles.  You want to know what you can do--and what you can teach your children to do--to reverse the downward spiral of American spirituality, morals and leadership.  That's what Take Back the Land is all about.   You will learn how in only 2 Saturdays and 1 evening per year, you can help revolutionize the direction of your political party--no more voting for the lesser of two evils!   You will learn how to start a quiet reformation in your local church that will get members off the pews and into action for Christ.   You will hear how to "multiply yourself by 100" for the achievement of godly ministry objectives.   You will hear the keys to helping your sons and daughters find their place as mighty warriors in the spiritual warfare now raging in our culture.     There's so much more that we can't possibly squeeze it all into one email. Please go to www.takebacktheland.com    NOW and find out more.     You've been watching our culture deteriorate into secularism for years and wished there was something you could do.  Well, wish no more!  There's a ton you and your family can do to make a lasting difference in America.  Bring your sons and daughters to Take Back the Land.  Meet hundreds of like-minded parents and young people and help build a coalition of Christian families dedicated to turning this nation "right side up!"   Take Back the Land.  A youth conference for families.    Even if you're not a family or a young person, you're still welcome to come!

Corning and thunderbolt

It appears that Corning is making fiber optics. I didn't see this coming, but probably should have, considering the properties of certain glasses from them. This is very interesting.

Fiber optic connections are nothing new. They have been used for a long time in networking applications. Thunderbolt is trying to bring this to consumers, in a more appropriate price range. So far they have not done a very good job of this, Thunderbolt being available on a very select few computers, and only slightly more devices. That being said, it does have good potential if Intel can manage to make it more widespread by approving more devices and computers, .

The big breakthrough here though, (at least from my point of view) is the 0 bend radius on this cable!

While on the topic of data, transfer and storage;

Non-technical people tend to get a bit blasé about how it is now possible to store multiple HD feature films on things that you can lose in your pocket, but the reality is quite astonishing. Ten years ago, the idea that you might be able to back up an entire video project on something costing £25, and that you could accidentally drop in your cup of decaff latte would have seemed completely wild. In fact, if you'd dropped the decade-old equivalent on your coffee mug, it would have smashed it and the table as well.
