OK, not Dio, but a guy who drummed with him for a while. Richard Baxter seems to have been doing this a few days of the week in Ottawa for many years now whilst running a studio and playing in a drum line marching band for fun.

i was recently informed (on jwn) that plans to publish a new creation book were well ahead.

is this true?

if so, can anyone clarify this for me?.

I've been looking forward to a new Creation book for such a long time. I want a pdf too. That's going to be such a wacky book.

Who Would You Like To See As President Of The USA In The Next Election?

will it be obama or someone else?.

Damn, where's the edit button? I've not posted on here for a while.
Just to add that Obama seems to have massive charisma. eloquence and style, but little substance and that Palin has moose meat for brains. I generally distrust Republicans anyway.

Well, I'm on the wrong side of the ocean to have a vote and am not as well up on US politics as I'd like to be.
I guess the biggest problem the US will face will be that the dire state of the US economy will be revealed by the time the next election comes round.
I'd like to put forward Governor Chris Christie of New Jersey as a candidate. He seems to be an economic realist and he's not in politics to be popular. I find him refreshingly straightforward.
I realise of course that his presidency is never going to happen of course. Now, I know I'm going to get shot down for suggesting him but I'd be interested to see how people view him.

Jazz great John Dankworth passes away

what a great career and sound he developed over the decades.

he worked with the best, ella fitzgerald, oscar peterson, wrote the avengers theme and so much more.. he and his wife, cleo laine, were really something to see in concert.

i saw them here in the states over 3 decades.

Indeed, with the deaths of George Melly, Humphrey Lyttleton and now John Dankworth a generation of great jazz musicians and characters is passing into fond memory. Such a shame I'll never get to see any of them live now.

Sorry, I'm off topic again.
I'll not post again on this thread.
I've found a couple of 2008 articles indicating that the TRex tissue isn't actually from the TRex.

and an older article discussing Schweitzer's work and creationist misrepresentaation of it.

Big cats speak volumes for Jehovah's marvellous design.
Those sharp fangs for stripping seeds off grass.
Those powerful muscles and sharp claws for wrestling wild flowers into submission.
That short digestive system for getting all the goodness out of plant matter.
Surely, the way in which form follows function so perfectly is ample proof of an intelligent designer.

Firstly this is off topic so I'll keep it short.
Re this TRex tissue.
If dinosaurs were as recent as young Earth creationists argue wouldn't we expect to see more dinosaur soft tissue. The fact that we don't (this was the first of anything like this apparent age) indicates to me that dinos are definitely way older than the YE'ers say.
