Summary (Magill's Survey of American Literature, Revised Edition)
When The Confessions of Nat Turner first appeared, it was acclaimed as breakthrough both in fiction and in race relations. A white southerner, steeped in the history of his region, had boldly entered the mind of a black slave, according him the dignity of an articulate voice and making him into a modern hero. Certainly, Styron's Turner is cruel in his taking of close to sixty lives, but he is nevertheless the poet of the aspirations of a people. Early reviews lauded the language and the sympathy with which Styron presented the story.
Soon, though, a group of African American writers attacked the book, accusing Styron of distorting history, of co-opting their hero, and of demeaning Turner by endowing him with love for one of his victims, a young white woman. These critics saw Styron as usurping their history, much as white people had usurped the labor and the very lives of their ancestors. They rejected the notion that a white southerner—or any white person, for that matter—could fathom the mind of a slave.
Styron defended himself admirably, for he had made a close reading of the historical record and knew exactly where he was taking liberties with history, and he was supported by several historians. Less defensible, or at least problematic, was his decision to endow Turner with a contemporary imagination. Turner does speak in the accents of nineteenth century Virginia; he thinks very much like Styron. Yet even this seeming...

Overview (Masterplots II: Christian Literature)
William Styron's The Confessions of Nat Turner is a lengthy book organized into four chapters, three of which take biblical allusions for titles. In the opening chapter, "Judgment Day," the attempted rebellion has already occurred, and Turner and his fellow slave friend (and second in command) Hark have been imprisoned and are awaiting trial and the inevitable hanging. Turner is tormented by his inability to pray or read the Bible, two matters that Thomas Gray, an atheist lawyer and magistrate, uses to coax Turner into making his "confessions." Styron constructs an imagined dialogue between Turner and Gray, which turns into something of a personal debate between Christian belief and atheism. Turner is tormented, not knowing why the rebellion ultimately failed if God were indeed on his side; and Gray successfully transforms these doubts into proof that the black race is inferior and that, as he says several times in refrain, "[N]igger slavery is going to last a thousand years."
The second chapter, "Old Times Past: Voices, Dreams, Recollections," is essentially a fictional biography of Turner. Styron takes the bare facts of Turner's life and embellishes them with relentless and bountiful license. This account of Turner's life records the horrors of slavery in the context of his family history and his life under his four owners. Styron also gives readers imagined insight into Turner's spiritual development, beginning with his...

Summary (Masterplots, Fourth Edition)
Nat Turner joins with at least sixty other slaves and free blacks to kill fifty-seven whites in Southampton County, Virginia, in 1831. Armed with guns, axes, and other weapons, Turner and his men aim to leave no whites alive. At least forty-six of the victims are women, children, or teenagers. After two days of violence, whites succeed in defeating Turner's group in a battle. Turner initially evades capture but soon finds himself in the Southampton jail awaiting execution. A self-proclaimed preacher, Turner is unable to pray and feels abandoned by his God.
On November 1, 1831, an elderly white man by the name of Thomas Ruffin Gray enters Turner's cell. Gray defended some of the insurgent slaves in court. He explains to Turner that Southampton whites simply cannot understand why their slaves revolted. Gray wants to publish a full confession by Turner that will tell the public the facts about the revolt. Gray's concept of his job is to prove that Turner is not a typical slave but a fanatic whose revolt is an isolated event and therefore no threat to the institution of slavery. He tries to convince Turner that the major reason for his defeat is that most of the slaves defended their owners.
While Gray talks about the rebellion, Turner thinks back to his various owners, from Benjamin and Samuel Turner to Joseph Travis. The memory that dominates from the Travis years concerns Jeremiah Cobb, the man who eventually sentences Nat Turner to...

Chapter Summaries
Section 1 Summary
Nat Turner was a slave, the first slave to organize a rebellion in the United States. Whereas historical papers, written by white men, refer to Turner as a monster, William Styron attempts to understand Turner as a man living during the height of slavery in America.
The story begins while Turner is already imprisoned in Jerusalem (now called Courtland), Virginia, for his having roused a group of slaves to rebel. During the rebellion, over fifty whites and over a hundred black people were killed. Turner was caught, hiding in a cave near his master's home. As he sits in jail, he reflects on his life, what has recently happened, and what he will do with his remaining days. He is all but certain that he will be hanged.
Outside his cell, people have gathered. Once in a while, he hears someone call out his name. People are waiting to hear his story, watch the trial, or be witness to his hanging. According to his court-appointed lawyer, Mr. Gray, the whole country is curious about how Nat organized the slaves and why they were rebelling.
Mr. Gray has come to Nat's cell to urge Nat to answer these questions. Nat, aware of how much interest Mr. Gray has taken in obtaining his story, uses the lawyer to help get simple things that he needs. For instance, Nat has been put in shackles, which are connected to heavy chains and an iron ball. The shackles are attached to his ankles and wrists to ensure that he cannot escape. But the shackles also keep him from scratching his back, which has developed a terrible itch that is driving him mad. On the previous day, while being dragged through the crowds outside the jail, some women had stuck him with their hat pins. Now that those small wounds are healing, Nat's skin is irritated. So Nat promises to tell Mr. Gray his story if, in exchange, he will take off the shackles on his wrists. Nat is also very hungry and asks that a breakfast be brought to him. Though Mr. Gray promises to take care of these things, he leaves Nat's cell without bringing him food or relieving him from the wrist shackles.
Mr. Gray returns to Nat's cell about an hour later. Nat had asked for a break from the interview so as to have time to clear his thoughts. Gray had allowed this. This break also allowed Gray time to read over the confession that Nat had recited. Gray had written Nat's confession down and apologizes when he reads it back, telling Nat that sometimes he put Nat's confession in his...

Section 2 Summary
In Part II, the character Nat Turner reviews some of his history. He remains in jail, awaiting his hanging. He is cold and feverish.
His first recounted memory is when he was twelve and was living at Turner's Mill. Because his mother is a house servant, Nat also works inside, as opposed to toiling in the fields. His chores include helping his mother in the kitchen and waiting on the family when they are at the table. One particular memory deals with a dinner served to a visiting guest, a traveling farm implement salesman from the North. Though Nat does not recall the salesman's name, he does remember how the man praised the spring season, especially as experienced in Virginia. The salesman states that Virginia has the finest spring in all of the Eastern states. The man knows because he has visited all of them. The northern states barely have a spring, the man says. The weather merely jumps from winter to summer. The southern states are so warm and humid that even in the winter, one barely notices spring.
While the family is eating, Samuel Turner, the owner, proudly shows off Nat's intelligence, asking the boy to spell. Nat is so nervous that he shouts out the letters, but he spells the word correctly. Samuel believes that if one educates the slaves, it makes them feel good about themselves and then their owners benefit from their improved nature. Nat's performance makes him feel warm with excitement, a feeling that lasts hours after the family has retired and the salesman has gone away.
In another recollection, Nat thinks about his grandmother, whom he never knew. He was acquainted with her only through the stories he had heard. When his grandmother was thirteen, she was kidnapped from the Coromantee tribe, probably located somewhere along the Gold Coast of Africa. On the boat trip across the Atlantic, she was impregnated. By the time she reached Virginia, she was due to delivery her baby. Upon being sold, she was so fearful of all the strange people and their language she did not understand that she died shortly after giving birth to Nat's mother.
Because she was motherless, Nat's mother was taken in by Alpheus Turner (Samuel Turner's father) and raised by the black servants of the house. As she grew up, she was taught the tasks that were required in the household, which included cooking, a skill at which she was very adept.
Nat was born at the Turner's place (and thus was given his...

Section 3 Summary
Nat's new owner, Moore, is a poor farmer who never beat Nat again except for a strike with the bull whip while driving home after his purchase. Moore's hatred for Nat was obvious, but he restrained from ever hitting him.
Life for Nat had changed dramatically from the days at Master Samuel Turner's plantation. Here at Moore's farm, Nat lived much like all field Negroes lived at the time. He worked hard, ate poorly, and lived in a ramshackle shack. The only blessings from those ten years, Nat says, was that he had a few hours each day to read the Bible and meditate on the Bible's teachings. Even Moore became fascinated with Nat's knowledge and understanding of the Bible and would often insist that his visitor's listen to Nat reciting, from memory, any passage from the book that they requested.
Nat was the only slave that Moore owned, so his duties, though never stimulating, were varied. He cut down trees, grew crops, and worked in the kitchen. Moore had very little money, so Nat's skills in carpentry were seldom required.
It was during this time that Nat met Hark. Joseph Travis (who would later become Nat's master) had bought Hark from a Virginia plantation owner who, like many others in the area, had lost most of his fortune when the nutrients in his land were used up after generations of growing tobacco. Hark had been born and raised on that plantation and had been devoted to his mother and sisters. When the plantation owner left for the fertile soil of Mississippi, he took only his female slaves, since women were in short supply in that state. This was the first time Hark had been separated from his family, and his misery was obvious to Nat.
Hark came to a point where he could not longer stand his depressed feelings. If he could not be with his family, he had to at least do something to change his life. A man had once told Hark that if he could make it to Maryland, he would find a group of Quakers who would help him. This man had told Hark the names of the towns he would pass as he made his way up north. So one night, Hark left Travis' farm with a packed bundle of food and supplies he had stolen from his master and started walking north.
For six weeks, Hark traveled through the woods, sometimes along the skirts of the towns he had been told to look for. He made it all the way to Baltimore without getting caught. There, when he asked a fellow black slave where he might find the Quakers,...

Section 4 Summary
It is the day of the hanging. Nat and Hark are still in their adjoining cells. It is early in the morning, and both men are asleep. Nat is having one of his reoccurring dreams. He is in a small boat, floating down a river toward the ocean. Surrounding the river is a forest wilderness that looks untouched by man. He hears the sound of ocean waves crashing on the distant shore. Though the sound is loud and somewhat menacing, Nat is relaxed. Nothing disturbs him. He has found peace.
As he nears the mouth of the river, he sees a white building up ahead. He has no idea what the building represents, why it is there, or what activities might be taking place inside. He senses that it is not a temple or other type of monument. Though it might be a relic from all times past and future. He senses that the building is a mystery that no one can solve. The building has no doors or windows, so there is no way to penetrate it. Nat reflects that neither windows nor doors would help him understand the building anyway. Inside, he thinks, he would only discover more complex mysteries. Instead of thinking about the building any further, Nat turns his head and his thoughts toward the ocean.
When Nat awakens from this dream, he taps on the wall between his and Hark's cell. He knocks until Hark stirs. When Hark responds, Nat tells him that they will be going soon. Hark replies that he is aware of this and only wishes they would hurry up and get it over with. Hark's wounds have not been properly cared for. He is stiff and in pain. Like Nat, Hark is heavily bound in chains. He cannot stand up on his own. Hark tells Nat that Mr. Gray has told him that they will have to hang him while he is strapped in a chair. As usual, Hark's good sense of humor comes into play. He finds it amusing that he will be sitting in a chair when they hang him.
Nat hears heavy footsteps in the hallway. He listens as the men unbolt Hark's jail door. When they are rough with Hark, pushing and shoving him into position on the chair, Hark moans in pain. Nat bangs on the wall and yells, cursing the men for hurting Hark. He tells them that they have hurt Hark all his life. Surely they could show some respect in his last minutes before death. The men do not respond.
Nat watches the men carry Hark past his cell door. Hark calls out to him, telling Nat not to be afraid. Everything will be alright, Hark says. Then Hark and Nat say good-bye to one another.

Monegasque Elena will drive the course-opening zero car on the asphalt event from 22-25 November. However, rather than be entrusted with the keys to driver Sebastien Loeb's FIA World Rally Championship-winning Citroen DS3 WRC, Elena will pilot the all-new R1-version of the car.
Elena, who has contested Rallye du Var as a driver on several occasions in the past, won't be the only world rally champion in action on the event: Super 2000 world title winner Craig Breen will also be taking part in a Peugeot 207 S2000.
"For once I can drive without pressure," said Irishman Breen. "There are some interesting WRC crews at the head of the field and as I come to the event as S2000 world champion everyone in this category will want to challenge me. This is my final event of this year and I want to close the season with a good performance."
Ex-Formula One driver Robert Kubica heads the entry in a Citroen C4 WRC.

This has been an interesting thread. Has anybody had a look at ATA Over ethernet (another alternative is HyperSCSI), as running directly over ethernet might just work ? A link for AOE utulities can be found in http://sourceforge.net/projects/aoetools . I've been looking semi-seriously into diskless setups and the lack of networkable swap is a showstopper for us.

Well investors still have an appetite for tech IPOs joining us now Larry King militia -- on managing partner.
And a venture capitalists who you know what's going on out there it's -- trading erratic time for sure there's a lot of companies coming to market -- Are you excited about them.
The companies that are coming to market -- some of the best companies that the venture capital industry is investing in the last 67 years the question is how much -- -- work right.
That's a big problem -- we see these valuations.
Ever going gets on the bandwagon and then it just perhaps what happens we can't blame for going public that they're raising capital and really high prices the problem is.
That they're being priced for perfection if one thing goes wrong in this one number and they get or guidance going forward.
That's the stuff that's -- crest we just put up a bunch of them that have gone public linked -- group bond and and there are all down.
Welding and the only -- -- -- probably not down five in the fiance though unfortunately -- -- -- pandora's down yes they're all down and these are zinc is down -- and of course FaceBook all down the commonality between these companies as besides FaceBook and Linkedin goes the other ones are not I don't profitable.
The question is how do you price growth when it doesn't come with profits and that's what the public markets are wrestling but it's more about -- the ADD generation isn't it because anytime you put something out I'm totally into for a -- and that got.
That is true it's it's either priced that way too high -- any -- biggest case it might be priced too -- now.
So what it.
Do you get in companies IPOs or do you just stay with -- -- -- into the institutional guys I think if you wanna get involved in an IPO you can wait because every single company that's going public has a bit locked up on lots of cheers from venture capitalists like myself.

Let that -- the -- and then you can evaluate -- -- OK so what's the next big thing in the tech world coming out.
Well there's a bunch of cloud computing companies and so you have a company like -- club which is kinda like Salesforce.com.
But for marketers.
And so manages all of your marketing programs in the cloud.
That's gonna go on early August I think there's three of four companies in that space that are going to be real businesses that crap company for the cloud computing makes more sense to me it seems like a more stable business to go.
With the game company.
And I know my kids after a week they could care less.
Gaming is so erratic -- -- hits driven business it's very hard but the cloud computing companies are completely different they have a strong customer base and recurring revenue the customers stick with sound.
That's why salesforce is still trading at seventeen billion dollars should you blame the bankers Thomas.
The bankers have a job they're trying to get that the company -- for the highest price possible so ultimately have to blame investors we're just kind of by the stop.
Ultimately though -- excited about what's coming absolutely.

Four Questions with Goaltender Matt Climie
You've become well-known around the organization for your love of firefighting.
Overall, I think firefighting is such a great occupation. Growing up, I didn't put too much thought into actually becoming a firefighter because I was so focused on playing hockey and I was just living in the now. At the same time, I always knew it was a possibility in the future. At some point in my life I knew I wanted to become a firefighter, whether it was a volunteer firefighter or a forest firefighter, I always figured I would do that at some point.
Last season, the Wolves took you and defenseman Derek Joslin to a firehouse. What was that like?
It was a great experience. When I was playing junior hockey (in Nova Scotia) I had the chance to work at a firehouse. I was kind of a maintenance guy, just cleaning the trucks. I had a pretty good idea of what happened day-to-day. It was cool to go to a firehouse in the U.S. and see the guys who do this just day in and day out and the amount of work they put into their career.
Was it important to you to step up and be the face of the First Responders Jersey auction?
When (Sr. Vice President of Operations) Courtney (Mahoney) approached me about wearing the jerseys, it was a big compliment because she obviously knew I had been looking into a possible career as a firefighter when I was done with hockey and that it was something I cared about. She knew I had an interest in the occupation and about the amount of respect I have for what those guys do. It suited me to be a big part of this.
Do you still think about becoming a firefighter after your hockey days are over?
It's always in the back of my mind. At some point in my life, if hockey doesn't work out or coaching doesn't work out, I would love to become one. It's a dangerous job, but it's a really worthwhile one. I have the utmost respect for them, and for anyone in a field where you're putting yourself out there to help others.

LOWELL - Its been more than four years since Ray Robinson stepped foot inside the downtown Lowell eatery that bears his name.
But during a recent visit, many of the regular customers got up from their tables to greet the 86-year-old Robinson, who opened Ray Robinson's Sandwich Shoppe on the corner of Central and Jackson streets in the fall of 1968. Robinson, who now calls Winston-Salem, N.C., home, was a breakfast and lunchtime fixture in downtown Lowell for more than two decades, manning the grill, pouring coffee and trying to satisfy the busy lunchtime crowd, who piled into "Ray's" as it was simply called, on a daily basis. Their motto, which still appears on the back of every menu, reads, "You'll remember the quality long after the price is forgotten."
In 1988, Ray sold the business that he founded with his wife, Doris, to his son, David, who has maintained the diner's excellent reputation for homemade dinners and soups, as well as the usual diner fare, all sprinkled with liberal amounts of friendly discussion the news of the day.
"David has actually had the restaurant longer than I did," quipped Robinson, who has been back in New England since June. Doris Robinson, who partnered with her husband and was known for all those delicious home-cooked dinners, passed away on Jan. 24 after a long and arduous battle with Alzheimer's disease. A memorial service was held in her honor on June 23 at the Grace Bible Church in Dracut, where the Robinsons attended until their move to North Carolina in 2004.
"It has been such a tremendous blessing to be back in the area," Ray reflected. "The outpouring of love and affection everywhere I go is something that I will never forget. Of course, I still wish she was here with me."
Ray and Doris Robinson would have celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary on July 12. The couple is originally from the Leominster area, where they met, married and had three children. In 1965, while Ray was working for the Cushman Baking Company, the Robinsons moved to Dracut.
Q: What made you decide to leave the Leominster area and move your family to Dracut?
A: "I was a district supervisor for Cushman's, one of the largest retail bakeries in New England. So in order to get the maximum in terms of accounts, I had to expand. I had to be situated strategically somewhere near Lowell where there was easy access to Route 3, the Lowell Connector, (Interstate) 495, Route 2 and Route 93. I found a lovely home in Dracut on the corner of Hildreth Street and Old Road. I loved it there.
"Meanwhile Cushman's was showing signs of going under and it was time to look for something else. Besides, I believe that I was working too many hours and the kids -- my youngest, Joanne, was a teenager at the time -- I believe the kids suffered somewhat because I was gone so much."
Q: What led you to buy a restaurant in the middle of a fairly large city?
A: "I wasn't really sure what I wanted to do and I saw an ad in the paper announcing the sale of Liggett's Rexall Drugstore and it had a lunch counter and I said 'Let's go for it.' Now, the owners tried to talk me into keeping it as a drug store but that meant that I had to hire a licensed pharmacist to be on hand at all times. I said there is no way I was going to do that. I just wanted open early -- around 6 a.m. -- and serve breakfast and lunch."
Q: What was the big draw that kept customers coming back, even until today?
A: "No doubt is was the homemade meals and the homemade soups that Doris would make. We had two different specials every day. A homemade special and a homemade soup. Of course we had plenty of other things too; breakfast, omelets, muffins, lunch sandwiches, burgers, hot dogs, BLT sandwiches. But it was the specials. And Doris would pile it on. I'd look at the plate of food she was brining out to the customer and I'd say, 'Doris, you're going to put us in the poor house.' She'd just say, 'Raymond, they have to eat. This is why they keep coming back because they know that we don't scrimp.' And of course, she was right."
Q: How would you describe the clientele that comes into Ray's?
A: "It's a cross-section of the city. It really is. Still to this day. We've had TV news personalities, bank presidents, lawyers and judges. Sen. John Kerry loved our soups. Former Gov. Ed King has been in. Even Tricia Nixon Cox came in. She was pregnant at the time and just before she came in with some other people, the door opened and the Secret Service walked through to check the place out. All the workers from the mills behind the store would come in. And just the common person walking downtown looking for a bite to eat.
"My best customer was (the late Realtor) Kenny Harkins because he never came in alone. He always had three or four people with him and they'd come back with three or four people."
Q: Losing your wife has been extremely hard on you. What advice would you give to someone who is caring for a family member suffering from Alzheimer's disease?
A: "The best way I can answer that is to quote from the Bible. Collosians 3:19 says 'Husbands love your wives and be not bitter against them.' I was with Doris night and day until the last month when she went into hospice. A person who is living with a husband or wife with Alzheimer's has to realize that even though they might no longer remember you or know who you are, you still know them. I stayed right by her side, as tough as it was sometimes, until the Lord came and took her home. She would have done the same for me if the shoe was on the other foot, and so much more."

Bo benefited a lot from the recruiting of the prior staff, and coached it into one of the best defenses in the nation. Does not seem to have done as well in his own recruiting, though. At least we've got like 4 starting quality RBs that we can sometimes all play at once in that weird hybrid pistol formation?
In a down year in a down decade for the Big Ten, NU still might be a frontrunner for the Rose Bowl, with Ohio St ineligible. Probably got out of the Big XII conference and its basketball scores just in time.

And there's a big but - this hotel got charm! I don't often say it, because old and classic mostly translates into uncharming, tired and forgettable. Like I say in the heading, there are bits and pieces that could have been better, and yes, it's getting old and a bit worn here and there. But for once I didn't mind,... More

Some of these servers are so scalable in magnitude, mindboggling in performance and high-end in gigabytes capacity, that they even sound a little alien. Suddenly they are here and those who only thought of them as data processors without a name can now identify with them, courtesy of cloud computing platforms. Intel, through its Tyan partners, is an example of companies that have enabled this to happen through its cutting-edge processing units. These can be discussed under the following headings.

Any GOP potential 2016 candidate who dares to stick their neck out are going to be riduculed as religious zealots.The Catholic Church is doing us no favors by claiming Christ was actually born 4 centuries before he was born.How did they come up with AD and BC on the calendar with a 4 century gap? What´s happening is this feeds the left´s charges that Christi s a hoax and if you believe in Him then you´re an out of touch kook.This country is becoming so hedonistic that there aren´t enough people of faith left to battle the left´s false gods of government and materialism.Liberals seem to be taking over the consumer economy in this country which is puzzling as to where they´re getting the money for it.Most of them don´t want to work but seem to have more disposable income than people who do.

Question for reporters: Before there was a sun, how lomg was a day? Before man defined a unit of time, did hours minutes and seconds exist? If something happens, an event for which no previous comparable event has been recorded, how do you define it?What is a day to God? How do illiterate shepherds define or classify events, so that other illiterate shepherds can understand it?Religious writings do not necessarily reflect our ´chop-chop, this is a defined unit´ lives. They may reflect experiences and circumstances familiar to the write and his audience. Therefore, the ´camel through the eye of a needle´ may speak of a narrow postern gateway into Jerusalem, known as the ´Needle´s Eye´, rather than an actual needle.We don´t know. And it doesn´t matter, except for how it reflects on our choices and behavior.Tell me - How does the Creation story affect our behavior, except to acknowledge that God is so far beyond our understanding that we cannot define or limit him? And if God did create everything in 144 hours, how could any scientist tell? Everything they ´measure´ is done by projecting their current observations of various physical existence into the past. How is this valid even by scientific standards? If this were a poll, they would be using a sample of at best 200 years to estimate 13 billion (Estimated age of the Universe). One part in 65,000,000.

I confess I´m not following the issue very well here. What does believing the Biblical account in Genesis have to do with the age of the earth? Though some might fuss about a creation that took place over a period of six days, what does that have to do with geologic age?I suspect the underlying question, not mentioned directly in the article, has to do with Archbishop Usher´s conclusion that the earth is only 6,000 years old. That, however, is not a ´truth´ declared by the bible. In no place does the bible mention the age of the earth.Rather, Archbishop Usher, using the genealogical tables in the Old Testament, came up with the 6,000 year figure. Unfortunately, the genealogical tables were never intended to be measures of time, but of pedigree. Few modern biblical scholars would agree to such a use of the scriptures.

#1, the Gospel of Matthew says that Jesus was born under the reign of King Herod the Great, who died in 4 BC. So Jesus had to have been born before 4 BC. According to the Gospel of Luke, Jesus was "about thirty years old" shortly after "the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar." Tiberius became emperor in AD 14. A close fit, but not exact. That and a few more aprox references yield Jesus being born around 6 BC.I was taught this in grade school 50 years ago. It´s not shocking, not scandalous, not news: it´s been known for centuries.

No. 15 has it right. A monk´s error in figuring the year 1 A.D. (there was no year 0 -- the year before was 1 B.C.) has been carried down for centuries. So if you think there´s something transcendent about ´´the turn of the century´´ (or the millennium) you had best recalculate. And what does it matter? Nothing at all. The fact of His birth, life, death and resurrection is what counts. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
And about that gotcha question: here´s one way to answer:"By using the radiometric dating system on the Diablo Canyon meteorite, geologists can say the Earth is 4.54 billion years old.

To answer #6. There are some "creation scientists" who claim the earth is only 6,000 years old, because that´s how far back the Biblical record goes, as far as recorded humanity.No one knows the age of the earth OR universe. Understand the Angelic Conflict and you know a previous creation existed in a perfect universe created for THEM, not us. That creation could have gone on for billions of years before mankind. Rebellious Satan took one third of all angels with him, and were condemned to the Lake of Fire created for them. Satan appealed the conviction, and God in His fairness, created man to resolve the conflict. Adam and the woman (she wasn´t called Eve until after she sinned) in the Garden could have existed there, sinless, for a million years or more! No time-line is given in Scripture.Christian "creationists" can´t square with the Big Bang, however, the entire universe was created by God complete, perfect, and instantly, but rebellious angels trashed it. They also can´t accept that the earth is more than 6,000 years old. Understand the "Gap Theory" between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 and you will find no conflict between Physical Science and the Bible.

No significant shift away from Lib Dems, poll shows
There has been no mass defection of voters to Labour from the Liberal Democrats.
By George Eaton Published 25 May 2010 10:27Latest poll (ICM/Guardian): Conservatives 25 seats short of a majority.
After a record number of polls during the election campaign it all went quiet for a while. But with a few now published, some revealing trends are beginning to emerge.
The first ICM/Guardian poll since the election has been released, and shows the Conservatives on 39 per cent (+1), Labour on 32 per cent (-1) and the Liberal Democrats unchanged on 21 per cent, figures identical to those in the most recent YouGov poll.
Lib Dem support is down 3 points since the election, but that's in line with past trends and suggests no significant shift against Nick Clegg's party.
I have always been sceptical of claims that the Lib Dems' decision to enter government with the Tories would prompt a wave of defections to Labour. So it's worth noting that most voters say the coalition agreement has made no difference to their decision to support the Lib Dems and that a quarter say it will make them more likely to vote for the party.
Fifty-nine per cent of voters approve of the coalition agreement, almost exactly the joint share of voters who support the Tories and the Lib Dems, with 32 per cent opposed.
New Statesman Poll of Polls
Hung parliament; Conservatives 25 seats short.
Most encouraging, as the coalition prepares to announce plans for a referendum on the Alternative Vote, is the strong public support for electoral reform, giving the lie to the canard that this is an elite interest. Fifty-six per cent of voters are in favour of a more proportional system, with 38 per cent opposed.
There is even a significant minority of Conservatives -- 45 per cent -- in favour of reform, with 49 per cent supporting retention of first-past-the-post.
I'm not expecting to see a Tories for Electoral Reform group start up any time soon, but it is heartening to know that David Cameron's claim that reform would hand more power to the "political elites" has been ignored by at least some of his own voters.

You've convinced me. From now on I will have greater respect for pollsters. They got this election dead right. 40 30 20 is the way its going to stay for a while. Labours Leaders challenge is to move up to 40 and push the Cons down to 30. Going back to 'socialism' is not going to do it, but capturing the centre ground.
Save the polls for when the axe starts chopping and unemployment rises inexorably to 4 million.
We'll see some big movement then.
"But obviously, if Labour continues with the centre-right positioning strategy that's lost it 5 million voters since 1997, then there's no reason why they should benefit from any of that."
Sadly enough, I really don't think voters are abandoning Labour for the Liberals and the Tories because Labour is too far to the right.
"56 per cent of voters are in favour of a more proportional system" so why are we getting AV then? It's the only system that might be less proportional...
What we need is Delegated Voting! http://bit.ly/cY5Wlm
That way we get proportionality, but also majority governments when someone really really wins (as happened in 1979-2001, but not 2005-2010).
"Sadly enough, I really don't think voters are abandoning Labour for the Liberals and the Tories because Labour is too far to the right."
Think about two major policies that characterised Labour's rightward drift. One was the invasion of Iraq, where Labour joined a US government of the hard-right in a neo-colonial war of aggression. Another was Labour's capitulation to Thatcherite orthodoxy on economics, allowing the financial sector to go essentially unregulated and to crowd out the rest of the economy, leaving us uniquely vulnerable to the bursting of speculative bubbles - a regular occurance throughout economic history and an obvious danger.
Aside from the grevious costs to Iraqis themselves, the war caused a "catastrophic loss of trust" in Labour, to quote Ed Miliband, fatally damaging its credibility amongst progressive voters. The economic crash made it impossible for Labour to win a fourth term. Labour's two greatest failures of its term in office were entirely down to a betrayal of its core values.
Note also that the Conservatives and LibDems have consciously been portraying themselves as more progressive than Labour, pitching themselves to the left of Labour on civil liberties for example, or offering different solutions to the same priorities on poverty and inequality.
I would say that if Labour wants to stay wedded to the received wisdom of the 1990s and continue to pursue a losing strategy than that's its own lookout, but the fact is that British politics needs a proper, progressive opposition to the neo-liberal opportunism that Osborne and Laws have got planned. Labour needs to wake up to itself.
"I'm not expecting to see a "Tories for electoral reform" group any time soon"
You might be surprised! http://www.conservativeelectoralreform.org/
@David Wearing - You put it so well - keep on saying it!
The test for the LibDems decision isn't the results of a poll in a post election honeymoon period. The real test will come deeper into the term of this government, when progressive LibDem supporters start to see and experience the pain of the cuts agenda, as the government sets about forcing the public to pay the financial sector's gambling debts. Electoral reform and civil liberties are important, but I strongly suspect that the warm reception the government's had from many liberal commentators on those areas will fade away in the face of the Osborne-Laws "age of austerity".
It doesn't take a genius to see that this government is going to be despised in 5 years time, if not sooner. And given the nature of their support, the LibDems have far more to fear from that than the Conservatives.
But obviously, if Labour continues with the centre-right positioning strategy that's lost it 5 million voters since 1997, then there's no reason why they should benefit from any of that.
We are still in very very early days. It's far too soon to start coming to any firm conclusions. Wait until the first mistake, the first scandal, the first resignation etc. It also prompts interesting questions such as will voters now decide voting Lib Dem to keep the Tories out of marginal seats is a pointless exercise now.
I wonder what Lib dem voters who were certainly NOT voting Tory make of it all. Yes getting rid of ID cards is a good thing as is ending child immigration detention, (some Labour MP's opposed those and other attacks on liberties throughout the last three Parliaments). I suspect that when the jobless total rises, the cuts bite home and the Osborne-Laws version of monetarism takes over the grass roots Lib Dems and some MP's will cry out.
It is now up to Labour to defend the best (Sure Start, Childrens Centres, Education spending, minimum wage, Human Rights Act etc); AND admit the ghastly tragedies of Iraq and Afghanistan and the de-regulation of the late 1990's - 00's.
The election results were not uniform, but worth noting that thousands are now joining Labour.
We need a leaderhsip contest that reflects the bredth of opinion in the Party.

Lamentations 3:18-26 And I said, "My strength and my hope Have perished from the LORD."
Remember my affliction and roaming,
The wormwood and the gall.
My soul still remembers and sinks within me.
This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope.
Through the LORD'S mercies we are not consumed, Because His compassions fail not.
They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.
"The LORD is my portion," says my soul,
"Therefore I hope in Him!"
The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the soul who seeks Him.
It is good that one should hope and wait quietly For the salvation of the LORD.

Banning orders for East Lancs football hooligans
5:00pm Thursday 12th September 2013 in News
FOOTBALL hooligans from across East Lancashire who became embroiled in a street brawl following a pre-season game have been banned from every ground in the country for six years.
And two of the trio, detained after violence broke out in the wake of a friendly match between Burnley and Carlisle United last July, have been jailed by magistrates.
Police believe the confrontation in Carlisle city centre, after the Brunton Park clash which the Clarets won 4-1, had been pre-arranged by troublemakers.
Philip Palmer, 29, of Russell Court, and Sean Taggart, 25, of Villiers Street, both Burnley, and William Guilfoyle, also 25, of Cattle Street, Great Harwood, were convicted of using threatening behaviour when they appeared before North Cumbria Magistrates' Court.
Palmer and Taggart were each jailed for 60 days and given six-year football banning orders. Guilfoyle was given a one-year community order with 120 hours community service, and a four-year banning order.
After the case, Insp Neil Marr, of Lancashire Police, said: "I hope that the sentences passed down to Palmer, Taggart and Guilfoyle reflect how serious the police and the courts view these offences. While the majority of fans enjoy football matches and don't get involved in any trouble, there are a few who think it's acceptable to get involved in violent situations.
"I hope that these sentences serve as a warning that we will not tolerate any type of disruptive or violent behaviour from any football fans in Lancashire.
"My message to all fans, whether home or away, is to attend the match and not get involved in any incidents that could escalate into any type of altercation or violence."
Two other Clarets fans and a Carlisle United supporter were released without charge. Around 420 fans are thought to have made the trip to Cumbria for the tie, where an increased police presence was noted.
