Call for immediate VAT action on fuel poverty
Last updated at 20:26, Thursday, 01 March 2012
Two leading West Cumbrian politicians are calling on the Government to cut taxes to help combat fuel poverty and rising petrol prices.
Workington MP Tony Cunningham has tabled an early day motion for a temporary cut in the standard VAT rate – currently 20 per cent – to take 3p off the price of a litre of fuel.
He added that his motion, if taken up, would be possible without a law change and would make an immediate difference.
Standard rate VAT can be cut to a minimum of 15 per cent under European law.
Mr Cunningham said: "The chancellor's on about not increasing petrol duty in August. August is a long time away. The immediate stimulus of a reduction is what's necessary.
"Let's do something we can do like cut petrol and diesel prices, which affects local hauliers, local people going to work and school, etc.
"I'm calling for what I think will be a reasonable cut which will make a difference to people and communities at a time when people are struggling.
"A cut in petrol costs will make a difference to people's quality of life."
And Eddie Martin, leader of Cumbria County Council, has written to Chancellor George Osborne urging him to abolish VAT on energy bills in the Budget.
Statistics show that more than 60,000 households in Cumbria were living in fuel poverty last year.
Coun Martin, who represents Dearham and Broughton, said: "We have a moral obligation to alleviate the challenges faced by the vulnerable among us and that includes those who are suffering a wretched life in fuel poverty.
"Poverty has a direct impact on health and well-being and on the quality of life; it has effects which outlast single generations and families, reaching into the future to affect the lives of those not yet born.
"Children growing up in poverty in Cumbria are more likely to suffer poor health, do less well in school and become the next generation of adults at risk of unemployment and long-term poverty.
"Many of those children are, by definition, living in fuel poverty households.
"So too are many older members of our Cumbrian communities who have been plunged into dire and even dangerous circumstances by the multiple increases in energy costs."
Statistics show that last year there were 61,161 households in Cumbria living in fuel poverty – 11,345 of them in Allerdale.
The figures, Coun Martin said, meant 28 per cent of the Cumbrian population was in fuel poverty and showed a 130 per cent rise in the problem since 2005.
He added: "Given the significant energy price increases over the past months, it is reasonable to assume that increasingly more Cumbrian homes are now being subjected to a fuel poverty regime.
VAT on energy bills is charged at five per cent.
Under European law it cannot be cut further, but Coun Martin said the Government must lobby for a rule change.
He said: "We can put zero per cent VAT on children's clothes and books. Energy is such a vital part of living I don't see why we can't do it with that.
"There must be a way for Brussels to change the rules and we must fight for them to do that. I'm not prepared to sit back and let people suffer."
Mr Cunningham said anything that helped people struggling to pay bills was a good thing.
He said: "If people have to choose between eating and heating then there's something wrong with our society.
"There will be parents going without to make sure their kids are fed."

Have your say
Mr. Martin - It is precisely because I do remember history that I fear for the future under this Tory led Government. If the start of Thatcher's reign coincides with what you call the dawn of 'compassionate conservatism', then I have to wonder what on Earth would constitute 'non compassionate Conservatism'. The Thatcher years saw Britain's industrial base systematically dismantled, whole communities consigned to the dustbin, unprecedented unemployment levels and the unfettering of rampant greed within the City which ultimately led to the near collapse of the banking system which we saw a couple of year's ago. If that is compassionate conservatism, you can keep it.Your party is currently embarking on a course which will make the bleak days of Thatcher's Britain look like a golden age. Benefit cuts to the poorest and most vulnerable in our society will lead to a devastating increase in poverty - for children and vulnerable adults alike. Privatisation of the NHS(yes, I know Mr. Martin - they're NOT privatising it! Although we ALL know that they are)will remove the single most important safety net for ordinary people - the security of health care, regardless of ability to pay for it. The party which you support is going to deal out such a dose of 'compassion', that I fear the country will never recover from.Now then - as to 'do I believe that Torys live in mansions etc.' - well, I believe that those who benefit from Tory policies do - the super rich, the tax avoiding, those set to profit from privatisation of public services. Unfortunately there are also those self deluded types who don't fit into this bracket, but who manage to delude themselves that Tory is the only way. In my experience the latter group are often driven by a desire to feel somehow superior to their neighbours or are just mean spirited - not that I'd suggest for a second that this applies to you, Mr. Martin.What am I doing to tackle poverty? Well, for a start I am opposing your Government at every opportunity I get - maybe you could try this instead of writing letters to George Osborne - the millionaire who cares not one jot for the plight of ordinary people.Lastly - I am very sorry that my moniker upsets you. Just try and forget who is writing and concentrate on what I am writing - you may have a road to Damascus moment.
Why don't you use your proper name, instead of that daft pseudonym? That's twice you have raised this and, clearly, you do not know your facts or your history. Compassionate Conservatism (which came in in 1979)is a political philosophy that stresses using traditionally conservative techniques and concepts in order to improve the general welfare of society.I am a Conservative because I believe in low taxes, little bureaucracy and a severe reduction in central control. the Localism Bill will achieve the latter, I hope. Child poverty incresed under the last Labour government; so too did fuel poverty. In my opinion no party has ever done enough to address either problem. That does not make me less of a Conservative. Or do you still hold to that ridiculous view that all Tory's live in big mansions and drive a Porsche? My words are not empty. At least I am trying to do something about poverty in Cumbria. What exactly are you doing? Tell us all.

IDA Indoor Climate and Energy
IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (IDA ICE) is a whole year detailed and dynamic multi-zone simulation application for the study of indoor climate as well as energy. The physical models of IDA ICE reflect the latest research and best models available, and results compare well with measured data. While serving a global market, IDA ICE is adapted to local languages and requirements (climate data, standards, special systems, special reports, and product and material data). The IDA ICE user interface is designed to make it easy to build and simulate both simple and advanced cases, and the real-time 3D environment, in combination with comprehensive tables, provides optimal feedback. A simple procedure for calculating and reporting cooling, heating, air demand, and energy, together with a built-in version handling system, makes it easy and efficient to compare different systems and results. There is also the Early Stage Building Optimization (ESBO) user interface which makes it possible for users to experiment with variations in both buildings and systems at an early stage with an absolute minimum of user input. A full range of component models for renewable energy studies is available, with boreholes, stratified tanks, heat pumps, solar collectors, CHP, PV, wind turbines, etc. The standard edition of IDA ICE can be enhanced with various extension packages, each for the more advanced user or for less common studies:
BIM Import
The BIM Import extension allows users to import 3D CAD buildings directly into IDA ICE using the open and neutral IFC format.
The ASHRAE 90.1-extension helps users to follow the Building Performance Rating Method in Appendix G of ASHRAE 90.1-2007, which is used in Green Building Programs like LEED and BREEAM.
Slab Cooling and Heating
The Slab Cooling and Heating extension allows users to handle embedded heating and cooling systems (TABS), both electrical and water based.
Enhanced Window Models
The Enhanced Window Models extension allows users to simulate ventilated double skin facades and other complex glass facades in accordance with ISO 15099.
Ice Rinks and Pools
The Ice Rinks and Pools extension allows users to simulate needed cooling and heating of water in a swimming pool in order to reach and maintain desired setpoint temperatures; for ice formation, the phase change process is evaluated along with the heat needed (in the ground below the ice sheet) to prevent frost propagation. Screen Shots
Energy performance, thermal comfort, indoor climate, HVAC design, airflow, natural ventilation, hybrid ventilation, heat pumps, load calculations, solar collectors, storage tanks, boreholes, CHP, wind turbines, control systems, plants, solar shading, daylight, ice rinks, pools, 3D, BIM, IFC, LEED, ASHRAE, BREEAM, NMF, Modelica.
ASHRAE 140 CEN Standard EN 15255 and 15265 CEN Standard EN 13791 International Energy Agency SHC Task 34 CIBSE Technical Memorandum 33 (TM 33)
Expertise Required
IDA ICE is mainly designed for HVAC designers and sustainable design engineers who are not simulation method experts. There is an advanced level in the software that allows simulation experts to build their own air handling units, plants, and control systems. Advanced users may also add new equation based models.
Primary user base in Europe (with focus in Sweden, Finland, Norway, Germany, France, and Switzerland).
HVAC designers, sustainable design engineers, simulation experts, researchers, students.
IDA ICE can import all common 2D and 3D CAD files. It supports IFC BIM models generated by tools such as ArchiCAD, Revit, MagiCAD, and many others. Geometry can be imported from SketchUp or other geometry tools. Climate files, including EPW files, can easily be downloaded and installed.
Localized reports include tables, charts, and plots. 3D visualizations (both stills and animations) show geometry, solar shadings, color coded input data as well as results. Arrow animations in 3D visualize ventilation air flows, window energy balance, and wind driven flows. Reports are designed to fit with LEED submittal forms and other resource documents on LEED Online, and it is also possible to export to MS Excel and Word. A single zone IDA ICE model with default primary and secondary systems comprises a total of approximately 2000 time dependent variables, any of which may be plotted, such as: zone heat balance (including specific contributions from sun, occupants, equipment, lights, ventilation, heating and cooling devices, surface transmissions, air leakage, cold bridges, and control signals). Solar influx is evaluated through windows (also internal) with full 3D accounting for local shading devices. Air CO2 and moisture levels are captured along with air and surface temperatures. Also available are comfort indices, PPD and PMV, unmet load hours, daylight, total energy cost based on time-dependent prices, and primary energy and CO2 emission.
Computer Platform
PC running Microsoft Windows XP, Vista 7 and 8. Mac running Microsoft Windows under VMware, Parallel desktop or Boot Camp. Works on both 32 and 64 bit systems.
Programming Language
NMF, Modelica, Common Lisp, Fortran, C++, HTML, Javascript
IDA ICE can be used for complete energy and design studies, involving the envelope, systems, plant and control systems. Every underlying equation can be browsed, and every variable can be logged by the critical user. The general equation based methods used in IDA ICE, in combination with its flexible architecture, makes it easy to develop the software continuously to adapt it to local requirements and languages, and to expand it with new modeling capabilities.
Air flow network equations are always solved, which puts a practical limit of about two hundred zones per processor core.

Newly and re-elected county officials will be one step closer to assuming their respective roles after partaking in a swearing in ceremony Thursday morning.
Officials will gather at the Oktibbeha County Courthouse Annex, located at 108 West Main St., about 9 a.m., and the official ceremony will begin shortly after.
Outgoing Circuit Clerk Angie McGinnis said Judge Lee Howard will officially preside over the event. In all, the ceremony should last about 30 minutes, she said. A reception will follow.
"Normally what we do is we have a general welcome, a recognition of special guests, an introduction and then we'll start swearing in the next term of representatives," she said. "We'll start with countywide officials, then do the new county board of supervisors, the justices and the constables."
McGinnis said the following representatives will be sworn in: Monica Banks, chancery clerk; Glenn Hamilton, circuit clerk; Allen Morgan, tax assessor; Steve Gladney, sheriff; Roy Carpenter Jr., county attorney; Michael Hunt, coroner; James Covington Jr., superintendent of education; Tom Gregory, surveyor; John Montgomery, District 1 supervisor; Orlando Trainer, District 2 supervisor; Marvell Howard, District 3 supervisor; Daniel Jackson, District 4 supervisor; Joe Williams, District 5 supervisor; William Anton "Tony" Boykin Jr., District 1 justice court judge; W. Bernard Crump, District 2 justice court judge; James "Jim" Mills, District 3 justice court judge; Shank Phelps, District 1 constable; Curtis Randle, District 2 constable; and James Lindsey, District 3 constable.
Two incoming officials, Gladney and Montgomery, both said they are anxious to get to work serving the citizens of Oktibbeha County. Both have recently attended work sessions in Jackson in preparation for their new roles.
"I'm excited about serving. I know it's a big responsibility, but I'm looking forward to the challenge and going back to work," Gladney said. "Once in office, I'd like to sit down with the personnel one-on-one, get their thoughts and get going. With grand jury and court starting, it's going to start busy."
Montgomery said he's ready to shed his supervisor-elect title and take an active leadership role for District 1. Although Montgomery serves as a firefighter for the Starkville Fire Department, he said he hopes to balance the dual public servant roles.
"Right now as supervisor-elect, it's almost like I've been ready to go but I'm not there yet. I look forward to being a supervisor because when someone needs me, I want to be there for them like I am with the fire department," he said. "Helping people is something I enjoy, and that's why I put my name in the hat to begin with. I want to do the best job that I can and the best things I can for Oktibbeha County."

It's apparent that at the age of 36 there is no slowing down for Kelly Slater. The man, if he really is human, continues to blow minds, break records, write books, and shit on the preconceived norms of aging. If you have yet to recognize Kelly as the greatest surfer of all time you're either blind or Australian, as 2008 saw Kelly furthering his living legacy to new heights. Six wins this year, some 10 point waves sprinkled throughout, a switch barrel in Bali, and winning the Pipe Masters on one of the smallest boards ever surfed in 8-10 foot Pipeline were just a few of the things that exhibited Kelly's sheer domination in '08. With 9 World Titles you can bet your ass he wants 10, no matter what kind of rumors get thrown around this winter, 10 is a nice, round number. Our guess: Kelly gets what Kelly wants, just like Kelly does in the water what only Kelly can do. Number 9 is only another notch in Kelly's belt, and that belt is continually getting bigger and bigger.

Baptist apologist James White's latest post: On How Theology Determines Apologetics, devoted to the prominent Protestant philosopher William Lane Craig (one of my very favorite Christian thinkers today: see his own website) is a classic case-in-point of where his presuppositionalist and fundamentalist mindset leads. Dr. Craig is probably the leading Christian apologist with regard to the Resurrection of Jesus (examples: one / two / three / four / five).
He's also known as perhaps the ablest Christian proponent of the cosmological argument for God's existence (made famous by St. Thomas Aquinas) and an excellent debater of atheists. He's a fine Christian man and wonderful apologist. I wish there were a thousand more out there like him. Here I am, a Catholic, and I greatly appreciate my Protestant brother and fellow apologist, but White the Baptist condemns him. Oh the irony and the tragedy (and right after we have just celebrated the holy day of Easter) . . .
White opposes William Lane Craig (at bottom, I believe) because he is neither a Calvinist in soteriology nor a presuppositionalist in apologetic methodology. This was all apparently brought about by a letter that White received. He allows no comments on his blog, but occasionally he decides to bless us with some reader feedback:
I would like to request James White to use his knowledge to tame Islam - rather than wasting time on other christians [sic] like William Lane Craig, who frankly is doing a very good job. Let us focus on the MAIN doctrines like Divinity of Christ, his life and message, which we all accept cutting across different apologetic styles, cutting across denominations etc. So, instead of wasting time on minor issues of differences, it will be better to spend time on those who do not accept Christ at all.Now, to his credit, White actually does a great deal of contra-Muslim apologetics, and even debates Muslim apologists. I link to some of it. It's good stuff. But he will also go unfairly critique other Protestants and create unnecessary strife and division (because he doesn't even accurately represent what they believe in the first place). He proceeds to describe Craig's beliefs as "Vanilla Christianity" and "sub-biblical" and continues:
His Molinism is more of a symptom of a wider theological weakness, one that, I believe, illustrates what happens when philosophy becomes the guiding force in theology. As a result there is a tremendous difference between the apologetic he represents and that which would flow from a consistent theological position. Apologetic methodology must of necessity flow from our theology. What we believe about God, His self-glorifying purpose in Creation, His nature, His power, His will, and His creatures, will determine how we defend His truth. A theocentric theology will result in a theocentric apologetic; an anthropocentric theology always results in an man-centered apologetic.
As a Molinist myself, I can defend this position. White often fails to properly understand other positions and ends up warring against straw men. White doesn't argue in these instances; he merely proclaims what he already holds (too often, circular logic). This is, broadly speaking, a huge problem with the presuppositionalist approach.
For White, pretty much, whatever isn't Calvinist is "sub-biblical." It's that simple in his mind. He can't handle the notion that competing systems of theology, even regarding an extraordinarily complex topic such as free will and predestination, could be respectable and permissible (as is allowed in the Catholic Church, in the Thomism vs. Molinism schools).
Rather, he has to demonize Arminians (in classic fundamentalist Calvinist fashion) because they come down a different way on one of the most difficult problems in philosophical theology. His way is "biblical"; therefore, the Arminian way must not be. Black and white. East vs. west. Divine vs. evil.
And if some theological belief is not Calvinist, then it is, of course, "man-centered." White is apparently unable to comprehend and conceive of a non-Calvinist theological belief-system that is not "man-centered" and not Pelagian (the heresy that makes man the ultimate determiner and initiator of his salvation, rather than God: firmly condemned by the Catholic Church at the Council of Trent). For White, the non-Calvinist cannot possibly glorify God (i.e., if at all) the way that the Calvinist does, or fully accept His sovereignty, His providential care of His creation, His glory and majesty, etc. And so this jaundiced, warped perspective affects how he argues. Let's examine a bit, then, where he goes with this critique:
Let me give you an example. It is common for WLC and those trained in his system to argue that the "preponderance of the evidence" points to the "greater probability" of the truthfulness of Christianity. Is this kind of argument consistent with the Apostolic proclamation? Did the Apostles claim that "there is very good reason to believe Jesus rose from the dead!"? Or did they proclaim it as a certainty, the very foundation of God's judgment itself (Acts 17:31).
This is an amazing unawareness of the basic biblical teaching concerning apologetics: all the more striking coming from an actual Christian apologist. Where to begin? Well, for example, how about the story of Doubting Thomas after the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus? I wrote in my soon-to-be-published book, Mere Christian Apologetics (p. 46):
White mocks the notions of "preponderance of the evidence" and "greater probability" as antithetical to biblical Christianity and the proclamation of the gospel, yet the early Christians proclaimed eyewitness testimony of what they had seen and heard. If they presented "legal"-type testimony, then why cannot an apologist use the same sort of argument today? No one alive was an eyewitness of these events, so it is necessarily the case that we have to make legal-historical arguments in order to do an intelligent rational apologetics.Jesus thought it was important to furnish empirical proofs of His Resurrection to His followers. His Resurrection was, by its very nature, tied up inextricably with history and eyewitnesses (legal-type proof) and physical sensory experience (scientific or empirical evidence). Thus, belief in His Resurrection was the very opposite of blind faith.Jesus presented "many infallible proofs" of His Resurrection (Acts 1:3) and appeared on one occasion solely to destroy the doubts of skeptical, hard-nosed empiricist Thomas -- a type of modern "scientific" man (John 20:24-29). Jesus did say that it was better to believe without the necessity of such undeniable proof (20:29), but after all, He still chose to appear for Thomas' sake, and told Thomas to put his hands in His real, physical wounds. For that person who seems to require such evidence, then, we ought to attempt to provide it for them, following the example of Jesus with Thomas.The other disciples and followers of Jesus (e.g., Mary Magdalene) touched Him as well (Matthew 28:9, Luke 24:39, John 20:17), and Jesus ate fish with them (Lk 24:41-43, John 21:12-13) – a wonderful, earthy and (outwardly) "unspiritual" act if there ever was one! Likewise, we must give unbelievers reasons for belief in Christianity, such as historical evidence for the Resurrection, etc.Jesus gave proof of His Resurrection, which was, in turn, the proof of His claim to be the Messiah and God the Son. Paul and the early Christians preached Christ risen on the basis of eyewitness and empirical proof. Paul himself appealed to eyewitnesses, as he had not seen the glorified Jesus in the flesh.This is emphatically apologetics, and it cannot be separated from our overall presentation of the gospel. An irrational, a-historical faith is no better than any other religion on the market, and the unbeliever instinctively senses this. Apologetics is crucial in the process of revealing the absolute distinctiveness and uniqueness of Christianity.
This does not involve any lessening of the certainty of faith at all. All Christians should have a rock-solid faith. But Christian faith is not identical to philosophy. Christian certainty in faith is not philosophical epistemological certainty. Yet we have to argue philosophically in order for the non-Christian to understand us. St. Paul did this. He gave us the principle (quite hostile to presuppositionalism) of approaching people where they are at:
Furthermore, Paul consistently "argued" and "reasoned" with the Jews and Greeks. This is not mere proclamation; it is attempted persuasion. And in order to persuade, one must find common ground with one's opponent and go on from there to undermine their position and demonstrate the superiority of another one. The presuppositionalist (by and large) doesn't even try to do that. He simply proclaims, and whoever doesn't accept the preaching is (so he reasons) obviously unregenerate, which is why he can't comprehend it in the first place. This is scarcely apologetics at all. It's fideistic preaching. And it is not the biblical model that we clearly see.
Thus Paul refers to the "defence and confirmation of the gospel" (Phil 1:17). The Greek word dialegomai is where we get our English word dialogue. This word is used to describe St. Paul "reasoning" or "disputing" with Jews and Greeks in many places: Acts 17:2; 17:17; 18:4; 18:19; 19:8-10. Obviously, Paul firmly believed the things he was arguing about (just as Dr. Craig does and as I do). But that doesn't mean that he ignored the rhetorical tactics of persuasion according to evidences and (strictly from from the perspective of the unbeliever) probabilities and plausibilities.
Likewise, Jesus is referred to as "reasoning" (Gk., suzeteo) in Mark 12:28. Once one tries to argue a position, this is inevitable. But White wants to run it down. Somehow he has missed all of this. He talks a good "biblical game" but I have actually demonstrated the biblical teaching on how to do apologetics.
Did they say there is more evidence Yahweh exists than there is that He doesn't, or did they identify as foolish any argument raised against the existence of the Creator by the created?
The fact that Paul reasoned with the Greeks using terms and arguments they could understand, suggests that he took their own beliefs seriously inasmuch as he could use them to build upon, in presenting a Christian apologetic and gospel proclamation.
The Greeks believed in idols and false gods. Paul talks about how he observed these, walking in Athens (Acts 17:23). But did Paul simply mock all that as from hell and the devil? No. He used common sense and persuasive techniques (not to mention considerable charity). He commended the pagan Greeks for being "very religious" (17:22), then he cited their pagan poets and philosophers (17:28). He proceeded not to blame them as rank idolaters, but to excuse them (at least to a large extent, it seems) for their ignorance (17:30).
All of this is very different from common techniques of Calvinist polemicists like James White, who think they have a monopoly on religious and theological truth. Paul didn't dismiss all of this pagan religiosity as only "foolish" and nothing but foolish and false and stupid; he built upon what they knew and led them to Christian truth by means of it.
I believe a consistent biblical theology will result in the proclamation that outside of the Creator, who has revealed Himself perfectly in Jesus Christ, there is no grounds for human predication at all, and that Christianity is not merely the "best of a number of possibilities," but it is the only possibility.
Ultimately, this is true. We all believe this. White need not lecture Dr. Craig about the truths of Christianity. That is what is so ridiculous about White's approach: as if other non-Calvinist Christians don't share this outlook. But non-believers can also believe much truth. That is because God gives them the ability and the grace to do so, whether they are aware of it or not. Apologetics is the task of persuasiveness according to what a person knows in his present state. It is not merely condescending preaching, taking the lowest possible view of the moral integrity and thinking capacities of any nonbeliever.
What is more, the WLC system places the sinner, man, in the position of "neutral judge" of these "probabilities," and again, this is something the Apostles did not do. Man is not a neutral judge of the existence of God: he is a rebel creature busily suppressing the knowledge of God.
Again, no one disagrees that man is in rebellion. But the same Paul who wrote Romans 1:18-32, all about human rebellion and suppression of the truth, approached the pagan Greeks as he did on Mars Hill and elsewhere. Moreover, in the very next chapter (and remember, the New Testament didn't have chapters, as it was originally written, so this is immediate context to Romans 1) he wrote very differently about pagan Gentiles, showing that he was not intending to teach that absolutely every unbeliever was a wicked rebel through and through:
12: All who have sinned without the law will also perish without the law, and all who have sinned under the law will be judged by the law.This shows that men who haven't even heard the Law of Moses, let alone the gospel, can be "justified," because they are "doers of the law" based on the knowledge in their conscience. Extremely unCalvinistic! It looks to me (I'd be happy to entertain other opinions) that Paul says they can even be saved (the "excuse" in 2:15 seems to imply this possibility). They are saved by Jesus and the gospel whether they know about Jesus or hear the gospel, but they can be saved without hearing about this. So White's view is, I submit, directly opposed to the Bible and the Apostle Paul.
13: For it is not the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law who will be justified.
14: When Gentiles who have not the law do by nature what the law requires, they are a law to themselves, even though they do not have the law.
15: They show that what the law requires is written on their hearts, while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or perhaps excuse them
16: on that day when, according to my gospel, God judges the secrets of men by Christ Jesus.
(Romans 2:12-16)
What you believe about these things will tremendously impact your apologetic methodology as a whole,
That's right. We see how White's own somewhat unbiblical approach to apologetics has adversely affected his method, leading him to attack even fellow Christian apologists like William Lane Craig, on ludicrous, baseless grounds.
How about we consider the words of Dr. Craig himself (White didn't do him the courtesy of citing a single word of his)? Do the following statements from Dr. Craig sound like "vanilla Christianity," and "sub-biblical" and "fuzzy" theology? Do they reflect a stunted, unbiblical worldview that White cynically presents as characteristic of Dr. Craig's personal beliefs?:
There is a danger in this sort of book that ought to be mentioned at the outset. One might receive the impression that belief in God is based solely on rational proofs, so that a person who does not find the arguments convincing can dismiss god without another thought. That would be a grave mistake. The Bible does teach that there is evidence of God's existence in the natural world around us -- but it also teaches that God's spirit "speaks" inwardly to the soul of each man in an unmistakable way, drawing him to God.For readers who want to delve into the question of the epistemology of belief in God in great depth, see Craig's fascinating survey: Introduction: The Resurrection of Theism; particularly the lengthy section where he interacts with the brilliant Calvinist philosopher Alvin Plantinga (another one of my very favorite Christian thinkers). At the conclusion of this "feast for the theistic mind" he expresses his unalterable supra-philosophical belief in God, in more sophisticated and biblically-soaked terms:
. . . God gives undeniable testimony of His existence to each individual through this inner drawing of His Spirit.
. . . I know that God exists because, in 1965, I responded to the inner pull of His Spirit and gave my life to Jesus Christ. Now God's Spirit lives within me and undeniably assures me of His existence. God will speak to your heart as well, giving you assurance of His presence, if you seek Him sincerely.
. . . Should my arguments seem weak and unconvincing to you, that is my fault, not God's. it only shows that I am a poor philosopher, not that God doesn't exist. Whether you judge my arguments to be sound or fallacious, God still exists; he loves you and holds you accountable. I will do my best to present sound arguments to you. But ultimately you must deal, not with arguments, but with God Himself.
(The Existence of God and the Beginning of the Universe, San Bernardino: Here's Life Publishers, 1979, 9-10)
Now what Plantinga asks is why some belief itself may not have sufficient warrant to overwhelm its potential defeaters; it would in that case be an intrinsic defeater-defeater. He provides an engaging illustration of someone who knows that he has not committed a crime, but against whom all the evidence stands. Such a person is perfectly rational to believe in his innocence even if he cannot refute the evidence against him. In the same way, says Plantinga, why could not belief in God be so warranted that it constitutes an intrinsic defeater of any considerations brought against it?And here is another clear statement from Dr. Craig, along the same lines, putting the lie to White's jaundiced and twisted caricature of what Dr. Craig believes (and by extension, what all or at least most non-Calvinist apologetes allegedly believe, according to White):
With this Plantinga has moved, I think, in the direction of the Reformers and the New Testament. For the Reformed theologians, the basis of faith which could withstand all rational attacks was the testimonium spiritu sancti internum. For Calvin, apologetics was a useful discipline to confirm the Spirit's testimony, but it was by no means necessary. A believer who was too uninformed or ill-equipped to refute anti-theistic arguments was rational in believing on the basis of the witness of the Spirit in his heart even in the face of such unrefuted objections. The Reformer's doctrine was grounded squarely on the New Testament teaching about the work of the Holy Spirit. According to both Paul and John, it is the inner witness of the Holy Spirit that provides the ultimate assurance that one's faith is true (Gal. 4-6; Rom. 8:15-16; Jn. 14:16-26; I Jn. 2:20, 26-7; 3:24; 4:13; 5:7-10a). Paul uses the term plerophoria (complete confidence, full assurance) to indicate the surety that the believer possesses as a result of the Spirit's work (Col. 2:2; I Thess. 1:5; cf. Rom. 4:21; 14:5; Col. 4:12). Nor is the Spirit's work restricted to believers; He is at work in the hearts of unbelievers in order to draw them to God (Jn. 16:7-11). Being a theist, then, is not a matter left to historical and geographical accident; even a person confronted with what are for him unanswerable objections to theism is, because of the work of the Holy Spirit, within his epistemic rights, nay, under epistemic obligation, to believe in God.
It seems to me, therefore, that the biblical theist ought to hold that among the circumstances that rationally warrant and, indeed, justify theistic belief is the witness of the Holy Spirit, and that non- propositional warrant is an intrinsic defeater of any potential defeater that might be brought against it. It is here that William Alston and Illtyd Trethowan's contributions on religious and moral experience as the grounds for properly basic belief in God become relevant. Though their philosophical viewpoints are diverse, each attempts in his own way to show how an immediate experience of God constitutes the circumstances for a non-inferential knowledge of God's existence.
Most people would say that it's impossible to "prove" the existence of God and that therefore, if one is going to believe in God, he must "take it by faith" that God exists. I've heard many students say this as an excuse for not believing in God. "Nobody can prove that God exists and nobody can prove that he doesn't," they say with a smile, "so I just don't believe in him." I've already argued that such a blithe attitude fails to appreciate the depth of man's existential predicament in a universe without God. The rational man ought to believe in God even when the evidence is equally balanced, rather than the reverse. But is it in fact the case that there is no probatory evidence that a Supreme Being exists? This was not the opinion of the biblical writers. The Psalmist said, "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of his hands" (Ps 19:1), and the apostle Paul declared, "Since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they [men] are without excuse" (Rom 1:20). Nor can it be said that this evidence is so ambiguous as to admit of equally plausible counter-explanations-for then people would not be "without excuse." Thus, people are without excuse for not believing in God's existence, not only because of the internal testimony of the Holy Spirit, but also because of the external witness of nature.white creates trumped-up differences where there are none. I challenge any reader, of any belief to show how these three statements betray some alleged "sub-biblical" worldview that is supposedly far inferior to White's own certainty of God's existence, and destructive of a healthy biblical assurance of same. How is this at all "man-centered"? Best wishes in that futile endeavor . . .
(Reasonable Faith: Christian Truth and Apologetics [1984], Crossway Books: Wheaton IL, Revised Edition, 1994, p. 77)
Robert Fisher (of unknown Christian affiliation) asked in the comboxes below:
Dave - do you believe in the doctrine of original sin? Craig denied this in one of his debates with Shabir Ally - White plays it on the Dividing Line from 1/30/07 [link] - I think that's mainly what's concerning him. Even in the two quotes from Craig you posted one can see that there is no mention of sin and judgment. White is merely concerned about the weak approach Craig is taking, he's not anathematizing him.
You imply White is against evidential apologetics from this one post of his, but I think all he's trying to do is show where Craig's emphasis is off, not present his complete view on evidential apologetics (I've heard him use evidential arguments before. Btw, even Van Til thought evidential arguments were valuable).
Of course I do. There was no particular need to mention sin and judgment in the two quotes because the topic was the basis of belief in God (i.e., ontology and epistemology and metaphysics, not soteriology). So that's neither here nor there.
I've been searching around to see if Craig denies original sin anywhere. I found this:
Number 3: Original Sin. Dr. Curley gives the following argument:
1) Infants are damned because of original sin.His opponent noted that Craig "does not explicitly reject either the universality of sin or original sin" and "It's worth noting that Craig does not explicitly reject the second premise, that the Christian scriptures teach the doctrine of original sin. He limits himself to denying that the Christian scriptures teach infant damnation."
2) The Bible teaches original sin.
3) Therefore the God of the Bible does not exist.
[Dr. Craig] 11. I dispute the first premise. In fact, I challenge Dr. Curley to read me a single passage of Scripture that teaches that infants are damned because of original sin. The Bible teaches no such thing. On the contrary, Jesus took up the little children in his arms and blessed them, saying, "Let the little children come to me, for to such belongs the Kingdom of Heaven." [1]
I listened to the relevant portion of Dividing Line (1-30-07). Dr. Craig claimed for sure that the particular argument he gave about God did not depend on original sin. Whether he also personally rejects it is unclear to me and not sufficiently proven (at least not for me) from these words alone.
One can distinguish between elements in particular arguments and personal acceptance of various things. In other words, if I don't use an element in some argument I am making it doesn't follow that I don't believe it.
I do think, however, that there is enough doubt and ambiguity as to Dr. Craig's meaning that it is worth pursuing further. He should be asked exactly what he believes, and if he truly denies original sin. Until that is clarified, I assume that he accepts it, because I have seen no compelling evidence to convince me otherwise.
I think the excerpt I offered above from William Lane Craig shows that if he did deny original sin, then he had a golden opportunity to state that he denied premise #2 (that "the Bible teaches original sin"). But he didn't do that. He only denied that infants are damned solely due to original sin.
. . . this has been coming up a lot because of what I said about William Lane Craig on the blog a couple days ago, that I have serious theological problems; I view his theology as sub-biblical. Molinism is a Roman Catholic construct that was specifically designed to get around the teaching of the Reformers. It is not biblical. It does not come from exegesis. You're never going to come up with this idea by exegeting the text of Scripture. It's externally derived, forced on the Scriptures, and the greatest proponent of Molinism today is William Lane Craig. I'm sorry if you're offended that I say that. Dave Armstrong had a cow, that I would dare say that. What is so surprising about that? I've been saying this for a long, long, long time.
I cannot view as having any meaningful foundation, a Roman Catholic methodology of getting around the sovereignty of God, as Molinism is. . . . If you hold to what I consider a sub-biblical theology, it's gonna result in a different kind of apologetic methodology. . . . if you have primarily an Arminian theology, you have a weak doctrine of sin; you have a high view of the capacities of man; a low view of the work of the Holy Spirit of God, I would argue, in being able to bring regeneration, etc., etc. . . .

10 Delicious Ways to Use a Bunch of Basil
Recipes from The Kitchn
From Memorial Day to Labor Day, basil is constantly on hand in our kitchens. We blend it into garlicky pestos, sprinkle it over grilled pizzas, and toss whole leaves into our fresh salads. It's hard to find a summer dish that isn't improved by a handful of this bright green, fragrant herb. If you're in need of a few new ideas to trim back an enormous pot or use up that second bunch you couldn't resist buying, then take a look through these ten favorite recipes for inspiration.
If you have a monster haul of basil, the top way to use it all up is definitely pesto. This blend of basil, garlic, nuts, cheese, and olive oil is one of the most versatile condiments around. Tossing pesto with warm pasta is always a win, but we also love spreading it on flatbreads, like in our Pesto Chicken Tart, as well as tossing it with potato salads and drizzling it over grilled fish. A little pesto mixed with mayo also gives sandwiches like our California BLT a serious kick of flavor! If you have some left over at the end of the week, pesto will freeze beautifully for months when sweet basil is less abundant.
But if you do one thing this summer with your basil stash, try infusing it into your next cocktail. You truly can't go wrong with a batch of Strawberry-Basil Margaritas; they're a guaranteed party win. We also just love the sweet and savory two-punch combo of pairing whole leaves of basil with summer fruit — our Cantaloupe Salad and our Tartines with Mozzarella, Basil, and Nectarine are both favorite dishes this time of year.
Is basil the top herb in your kitchen right now? What are your favorite ways to use it all up?

We recently received the following message from our Turkish distributor about a pilot program using ThinkFun games in classrooms – along with a fantastic newspaper article:
We are very happy and would like to share good news proudly with you. Since the beginning of our partnership as we have always told you our vision is to present high quality and educational games that can be played enthusiastically by both children and adults everywhere in Turkey.
We believe that these useful fun games develop children academically and socially. In this way we hope to change the way people see the games in Turkey. Therefore, we have always focused on the good hands on presentations and informed people of the skills that these games improve. We have been holding workshops on how to use these games to improve children's thinking and problem solving skills. After many years of effort we achieved to attract the attention of a lot of children, parents and teachers.
Now one of the enthusiastic teachers has set off a pilot Project on using mind improving games in classrooms and this is figured in press:) As a team we have put a lot of time and energy while building the base of this Project. Since it covers the grades from 1 to 8 we have graded and grouped the games to have a harmonious flow throughout the grades. This Project appeared on the cover page of the newspaper called "Dünya International Herald Tribune" on March 19th. We are sure that this Project will be the engine of other similar Projects.
The ThinkFun games that are being used are: Block By Block, Chocolate Fix, Hoppers, Math Dice, Math Dice Jr, River Crossing, Rush Hour Deluxe, Rush Hour Junior, Shape By Shape, S'Match, Solitaire Chess, Swish, Tipover, and Zingo 1,2,3

July 4, 2015
Wednesday, Nov. 21, 2012
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama has pardoned two turkeys in an annual Thanksgiving rite.
Obama said he wanted to offer a second chance to Cobbler, the newly designated national turkey, and his alternate, Gobbler.
Both are 19-week-old, 40-pound turkeys from Virginia. Their names were selected from submissions by elementary students in Rockingham County, Va., where the birds were raised.
For the first time this year, the public had a say in which bird would become the national Thanksgiving turkey. They were asked to cast their votes on the White House Facebook page.
Obama said the American people have spoken "and these birds are moving forward" -- a reference to his campaign slogan, "Forward."
The tradition of pardoning a Thanksgiving turkey at the White House started with President John F. Kennedy in 1963.

I dropped my Macbook Pro in this case (accident) and it has no damage at all, the case is fine too, its made of hard plastic and rubber.

the SeeThru speck case protected my laptop when i dropped it (my mac was also in a padded bag) and when i walked into a wall with it (no bag then). but the smartshell is much thinner than the SeeThru one...

Absolute zero is often thought to be the coldest temperature possible. But now researchers show they can achieve even lower temperatures for a strange realm of "negative temperatures."
Oddly, another way to look at these negative temperatures is to consider them hotter than infinity, researchers added.
This unusual advance could lead to new engines that could technically be more than 100 percent efficient, and shed light on mysteries such as dark energy, the mysterious substance that is apparently pulling our universe apart.

Good Value
By ginger
from lopatcong, new jersey
I ride both road and mountain bikes a few days a week and thought these were going to be a little bit warmer for the fall-type weather. I feel that if there was even just a little bit a fleece lining, they would be just perfect. For me, they are good for weather temps 60' and warmer. Otherwise they were a great value.

Great fit and padding..
By mom the diva
from Miami, Florida
Great fit and padding. I'm 5'4.5" and the seams are in the right place. I've been looking for good fitting knickers with padding for a few months and couldn't find any worth buying in local bike shops and surprised I made the best choice purchasing online. After a 20 mile ride to test the padding and comfort, I'm very happy with the performance and plan to purchase more! I would strongly recommend this item if you prefer to cover your legs more avoid too much sun exposure and a farmer tan.

Love them!!
By Bek
from Austin, TX
My mom bought these for me as a Christmas gift and I love them more than any of my other shorts-- perfect length for those cold mornings that warm up during a long ride. I'm 5'4" with shorter legs and don't have any problems with the length on these. Only con is that after washing the chamois seems to take much longer to dry than my other shorts.

My favorite cycle knickers!
By Milly
from Raleigh, NC
These are my favorite cycling knickers! I teach an indoor cycling class 4 days a week and love these so much I bought 2 pair. I am 5'7" and feel most shorts are too short. I want something that will cover my knees, and these hit right below the knee without too much binding or tightness. The fabric on these are great, it's not see through when stretched, and they provide light compression without feeling like a stuffed sausage. Of all the brands I own (Cannondale, Pearl) these wash and wear the best. I think they are the most durable I has found.

It has been a season to forget to this point for Mississippi State first-year basketball head coach Rick Ray.
Ray and the Bulldogs have had to battle several injuries this season, including injuries to the top returning players.
Junior guard Jalen Steele suffered a fractured wrist against Florida Atlantic on Nov. 13. He was put in a cast and has not played since. Steele got the cast taken off this week and that's good news for Ray and MSU.
"Once they removed the cast, they have some new technology called a six-technique X-ray," Ray said Thursday. "Everything in that X-ray showed that things properly healed while he was in the cast, so now he's in a splint. In that splint, he cannot wear that during a game. Right now he is cleared to do everything we can do as far as non-contact. He is not going to be playing in the game we play at Jackson."
The Bulldogs (3-6) play the Bears of Central Arkansas (4-4) in the Mississippi Coliseum in Jackson on Saturday.
"Once we get back from playing the game in Jackson and Christmas break, we will reevaluate the situation," Ray said. "There's a possibility he could play in our next game on Dec. 30, but that still remains to be seen. He has to be cleared for contact. He cannot play in the game with that splint because it still has a metal device in it."
The Bulldogs host Alabama A&M Dec. 30.
Other Bulldogs like freshmen Jacoby Davis and DeAndre Applewhite along with senior forward Wendell Lewis have all suffered knee injuries.
Lewis fractured his right patella in practice last week. He did not play in Mississippi State's 59-51 loss to Loyola last Saturday.
"Wendell had his surgery Wednesday," Ray said. "Everything went fine. There was nothing in there they didn't expect to find. There was no setbacks during the surgery procedure. Right now we sent him home to be with his family because he was going to go home anyway after the Jackson game. He's there with his family. It is looking from my understanding that it is a six-week progress before we can find out anything about it."
Davis and Applewhite were lost for the season. Lewis' status is unknown at this time and there are several ways for him to go.
Lewis has only played in eight games this season. A medical redshirt is an option that is on the table.
"That is a possibility," Ray said. "I have already sat down and talked to Wendell about that. Wendell has to do what he thinks is best for him. For me, I think the best thing for Wendell would be to medically redshirt. First and foremost, it allows him to graduate here at Mississippi State, not worry about trying to get everything done here in the summer, or come back for the semester. It allows him to build some sort of a resume to have a professional career after Mississippi State."
At this point and time, the Bulldogs have only six healthy scholarship players and eight men on the roster.
When Steele returns, it will make it seven scholarship players and nine players on the squad.
Ray could use Lewis for the rest of the this season, but that is not on his mind.
"I think at the end of the day, you have to step back from the situation and ask yourself 'are you being selfish,'" Ray said. "I think that would be a selfish act upon me if we have a situation where a young man has an opportunity to come back and play a full year with how well he has been playing. (We can) give him an opportunity to play that way for a full season rather than having the selfish act of bringing him back and possibly playing a few games. I couldn't sleep with myself at night knowing I took away that kid's opportunity."
Lewis does not have to make that decision now. Ray has urged him to sit down with people close to him and mull over the options.
"What he wants to do with that opportunity is up to him," Ray said. "I can give him the positives and the negatives of it, but Wendell Lewis is a grown man. He has some people around him, support system, that I told him to talk to about the situation. I think he has to do what's best for him."

Will Murray's Pulp Classics #34
The Spider #1 Audiobook
The Spider Strikes
by R. T. M. Scott
Read by Nick Santa Maria. Liner Notes by Will Murray
Eighty years ago in the summer of 1933, Popular Publications President Harry Steeger and his executive editor, Rogers Terrill, decided to enter the new field of magazines built around a single hero. They enlisted popular aviation hero Robert J. Hogan to help conceive
G-8 and his Battle Aces
, which debuted late in August.
But they also wanted to publish a crimebuster to rival a famous pulp juggernaut. Steeger frankly admitted in later years, "The reason we started the title
The Spider
was because of the success of Street & Smith's
The Shadow
. At this point in pulp history individual titles became very popular, so we decided to try out a few ourselves."
The story of how The
came to be is covered in cobwebs. Even Steeger wasn't certain of all the details. He did recall that he was playing tennis when inspiration struck. A solitary spider crossing the court gave him the name of his new hero.
The author chosen to pen the first Spider tale was a famous mystery and suspense novelist whose preferred byline was R. T. M. Scott. More than a dozen years before, Scott became famous for his stories and novels featuring Secret Service Smith, a government agent who later became a consulting detective for hire. Aurelius Smith was assisted by his Hindu aide, Langa Doonh, and girlfriend Bernice Asterly.
It's clear that Scott modeled this new hero for the Depression generation after his previous protagonist. While Richard Wentworth did not have a government connection––other than to have served with distinction in the First World War––Scott gave him a Hindu aide named Ram Singh. Fiancee Nita van Sloan provided the distaff ally.
All of that came under the heading of autobiography. The Canadian-born Scott worked in India prior to World War I, subsequently serving with the 21st Canadian Expeditionary Force with the rank of captain. Coming to New York after the Armistice, he became a successful writer.
Beyond personal experience, Scott remade his heroic ideal into a hardboiled hunter of criminals, one who occasionally wore a mask, and invariably imprinted the cold corpses of his enemies with the seal of The
, but who was otherwise a faceless phantom.
The big mystery of the origins of
The Spider
magazine is that they were not one, but two, writers named R. T. M. Scott. The first was the father to the second. Reginald Thomas Maitland Scott was one of the most famous writers of the 1920s. His son, Robert Thomas Maitland Scott, was new to the writing world. In fact, the younger Scott worked on the staff of Popular Publications during the 1930s, and periodically contributed to their magazines under the pen name Maitland Scott. One Maitland Scott story published in
Terror Tales
featured a sinister character named Ram Singh, further confusing the issue.
Some critics have thought they detected a different style in the second Spider novel,
The Wheel of Death
, and have posited that the father wrote
The Spider Strikes,
while the son penned the sequel. Whichever the truth may be, this is a rare instance in which we know the correct byline of an author, but cannot be certain about his true identity.
Be that as it may,
The Spider Strikes
establishes the essentials of this exciting series. Richard Wentworth is reckless, cold-blooded, and perfectly willing to play dangerous game between the law who seeks his capture and the enemies of the law he is sworn to track down. While his motivations are unclear, his single-minded determination is without question. He is a hunter of criminals, and in his debut novel he becomes a hunter of supercriminals in the form of the mysterious Mr. X.
As Spider fans know, the amazing Norvell W. Page replaced R. T. M. Scott with the third Spider story. And it is Page who is considered the ultimate Spider author. Scott has a flair all his own, and his indelible portrayal of the Master of Men who is both millionaire Richard Wentworth and the dreaded
remained unchanged, but was much more deeply explored under Page's able but fevered pen.
So go now with Richard Wentworth, alias The
, as he tackles his first great case and comes face-to-face with the diabolical Mr. X.
This audiobook also features short stories by Leslie T. White, who for many years would write The Web column in
The Spider
magazine, and a rare early tale by Norvell Page, who would dominate this magazine over the next decade. As always, Nick Santa Maria brings the action to electrifying life. This is how

Hello all..!!
Thanks for reading my earlier blogs. I know, I need to be a bit more frequent, but it does get tough to be a regular poster on eWN. What prompts me to post a blog now and then, is the true fan frustration in me coming to a boil and then bursting out. Like it did with my previous blogs.
Now, this time round, I decided to step back and take a look at what exactly
First of all, I wish all of you a very happy new year!!
Like many of you, I am one of the viewers who is pretty disappointed with how WWE treats its talent, largely. And to be honest, I am very unhappy with some really good talent being pushed to a jobber status. I know, only a few get the right push, but till then, it becomes pretty irritating to see them come out every week because
A lot has been written of late and many opinions posted about how the WWE needs to get its act right, especially with respect to handling mid-carders with talent and most importantly, in terms of getting its storylines in the right direction. One of the points, misconstrued to be a central aspect of WWE storylines, is the John Cena heat. The situation there is very clear - milk the cash cow. Kids
Over the last few years, we have waited for the WWE to seriously pull its socks up in all aspects of wrestling entertainment - superstars in the roster, wrestling action, storylines, new talent - and were reasonably disappointed. After all, the WWE had Cena, Y2J, Orton, Deadman, Rey Mysterio, Edge and a host of other talented guys. But somehow, something was missing. TNA was smartly mixing it up,

- Spice Tree Whisky
- The Spice Tree is the invention of master whisky blender John Glaser. His passion is to create whiskies from a blend of single malts, to create a final blend with exceptional balance and complexity.
- About this bottle: The Spice Tree is a unique experiment using the finest oak from Vosges region in France. Existing cask heads were replaced with new French oak, and a body of American oak retained; giving this whisky its distinctly spicy character. The Spice Tree is a rich, intensely-flavoured malt whisky, redolent of baking spices and toasty oak accents that all complement distillery character of the single malt whiskies that comprise the recipe.
- "This is made by putting new cask-heads on American oak barrels, creating some interestingly nutty, toasty characters in the whisky. A powerfully flavoured, refined and complex tipple."-Jamie Goode,Sunday Express 9-Jun-13.

For me this is the greatest thing going in tag team wrestling today. They are by far the most enteraining tag team in and out of the ring currently in TNA. I really hope once they finish their current little fued with AJ they get back in the tag title picture. Take the titles off Chavo around the start of the year and roll with it.
