"the fact that the Bible is a work of fiction"?
Is that a "fact" like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden is a "fact"? And do you mean that all 66 books of the Bible written at different times by different people with different world-views and different intentions, some of them explicitly claiming to be historical truth are fiction, or just some bits? I know people argue that Jonah, or Job for example, are historical fiction but would you claim that the bits attested to by archaeology (like Pontius Pilate, to pick a random example) are fiction? And what do you mean by "fiction", anyway? If a story demonstrates a true principle or moral, but isn't actually a historical record is it fact or fiction?
Just asking.

If we justify cruelty on the basis that someone else did it first, then we propagate an unending cycle of atrocity of mankind against his fellow mankind. Subhuman? Perhaps, but to respond in like manner is similarly subhuman.

UK Skylon spaceplane set for engine test in '3-4 years'
"Having placed the satellite, the SUS can then return to rendezvous with the Skylon and be stowed away again in the payload bay for return to Earth, refuelling and re-use."
The SUS will have quite a lot more kinetic energy than the SKYLON at this point. It's going to "rendezvous" and be "stowed" much like the SM-3 missile that rendezvoused with and was stowed in satellite USA-193.

I don't really care to argue a specific proposition. If I did, then yes the burden of proof (or at least reasonable evidence) would be on me. Likewise, if you wished to convince me of a proposition (be it a negative or positive assertion), then you would be the one who needed to come up with the goods.
My original assertion was that I recommend one not dismiss the possibility of miracles at Lourdes on the basis of assumption. That's still my recommendation, but no one is under any obligation to take my advice. Or to draw any particular conclusion if they do decide to investigate further.
As for the smilies, I thought they might have taken some of the sting out of my sarcasm - keep it light rather than descending into character assassination. I was surprised at your insistence that you didn't want to look at any evidence before forming an opinion, you see. Anyway, either I misunderstood you or the humour didn't work, whatever.
So, sorry about that. Peace?
Seriously this time, reading my previous post, it could have done with a few smileys.
@Marcus dubious
Please don't make assumptions.
I looked up the number just before I posted in order to add weight to my argument that miracle healing is bunkum not out of curiosity as to its validity.
Apologies for the assumption. I hope I can make it right by complimenting you on your observance of the fine and honourable tradition of finding your forgone conclusion in the data. I had previously wrongly supposed that you had committed the despicable act of weighing the data and allowing it to inform your opinion.
How about growing back a missing hip joint?
Google Vittorio Micheli.
Be that as it may, being able to quote numbers like that means that you haven't dismissed the question out of hand Marcus, so I have no argument with you.
@Geoff Mackenzie
You do parochial narrow-mindedness so well, you should try religion.
Miracles at Lourdes
get some severely critical scrutiny before being acknowledged. Personally I'm unconvinced on theological grounds that Lourdes should be somehow special. But when I looked into it some time ago I was surprised to find that my scepticism didn't fit well with the actual outcomes.
Anyway, I'd recommend caution rather than dismissing the whole thing out of hand.
They check with who?
"The police in turn checked in with the Seoul National University and Korean Institute of Science and Technology"
It really doesn't matter what the science crowd say. A theological claim is being made, not a scientific one, so the authority consulted ought to be a theologian.
I'm gonna get flamed/downvoted for this, I know.
US authorities shutdown websites accused of movie piracy
I don't really hold with piracy, but...
...I'm still not stupid enough to confuse infringement of intellectual property rights with theft. In fact, if anything, over-zealous use of IP is more like theft than piracy is because the great effect of theft is that it unilaterally restricts use of an item.
Just thought that had to be said rather than allowing the notion to slip under the radar into our global consciousness with lines like the following:
"The net seizures came just one week after the White House announced its enforcement plan for confronting theft of intellectual property."
New surveillance-CSI method: Beverage hair-isotope trail
Nicely done Mr Page
But as to the claim that one's short term presence in a location can be traced from isotopes in hair, I call bullshit. I'm pretty sure you need a largish sample with fairly uniform isotope distribution to get any decent fix. My hair just doesn't grow quickly enough for that.
German arrested for Adolf Hitler ringtone
Is it 2010 already? Make that eighty years.
Nothing has really changed
Sixty years ago the same basic kind of people helped Hitler form a police state which suppressed Jews (and others). Today the people aid the police in suppressing Nazi supporters. The only difference in the people is that they grew up under different presuppositions about who is good and who is bad. No one seems to realise that there is a problem with presuppositions that it's okay to suppress people. Of course, freedom of speech has its problems, but I'll take it over totalitarianism any day.
Secret ancient code, basis of all modern civilisation, cracked
That depends on what you mean by "religion"
If you mean unquestioning acceptance of a large accrual of tosh, then no you cannot reconcile religion with science. But then under this definition, Christianity doesn't count as a religion (although that doesn't stop a lot of Christians from being "religious").
If you want a definition of "religion" that includes Christianity, then you're going to have to drop the 6000 years since creation claim and the false dichotomy between "creation" and "evolution". These simply are not affirmed by any core Christian doctrine. To whit, I direct you to the Nicene and Apostles creeds (google them), which say nothing about 6000 years or the mechanism by which biodiversity occurred.
Under this latter definition, there really isn't anything to reconcile.
Future quantum computers could be made of... silicon?
Re: Only if you look at it
Sounds remarkably like the new iPhone.
Another qubit discovered?
Soon we'll have enough for a whole qubyte!
Ah, this takes me back to the heady days of non-quantum computing when researchers were coming up almost daily with new kinds of bit. Who could forget, for example, the hole in a piece of cardboard or the fiendishly clever toggle switch?
Bloody George's Budget: How bad is it really?
Just to try out an idea...
Why not scrap taxation altogether and simply agree that the government will print a certain amount of money each year for government expenses? Just think - no more tax returns, no more money spent on policing taxation, no more slipping through the cracks with tax free dividend & CGT income, no more low income traps, easily predictable inflation, ...
It seems like such a good idea that we'd already be doing it if there wasn't some disastrous downside. So what *is* the downside?

BP grabs 'oil spill' keywords on Google
Of course BP is trying to control the reputational damage and have their angle represented. This is hardly evil - it's common sense. What are we going to do next, condemn them for spending $1.5bn and rising on the cleanup and containment effort because it's just a cynical ploy to win our affections?
Seriously, the motivations that need questioning are the ones behind the people who are reporting this "news" and manipulating the public to think that BP are evil as a result.
That's not to say BP aren't evil, there are already allegations that their safety standards weren't very good, but this will all come out in the wash eventually and when it does we'll be able to rationally decide how honourably they've behaved.

Its concentration decreases the more you spread it out. So mixing this stuff with the loop current sounds like it could be a great idea.

You know, to give us an upper bound on the extent of the disaster.

Many artists are intimidated by perspective. However, creating an illusion of depth in your work is actually far easier than color or design when explained correctly. With this book, readers will learn how to create perspective on a flat surface using a variety of mediums. Starting simple, the book covers the theory behind perspective and gradually introduces more and more challenging subjects. Before long readers will be taking on such complex scenes as stairways, curves, and non-rectangular objects.

By Philip Scranton

Elmer Davis, born in Aurora, Indiana, in 1890, became a Rhodes Scholar and then joined the New York Times as a reporter in 1914. By the early 1920s, he had drafted a history of the paper and created a memorable satirical alter ego, Godfrey G. Gloom, an "old-fashioned Jeffersonian Democrat from Amity, Indiana."

Gloom attended both national political conventions in Chicago during the 1932 presidential campaign, and Davis recorded his comments in interview form in the New York Times.

His dispatches offer a revealing glimpse of one of the Great Depression's pivotal political moments.

At the Republican National Convention, Gloom remarked on President Herbert Hoover's re-nomination:

"I been in Chicago thirty-six hours and he is the one prominent Republican whose name I haven't heard mentioned yet, in any connection. I hear a lot said in praise of Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt, and Mellon and Coolidge, but not a word about Hoover has come to my ears."

Asked about the Prohibition fight, he complained:

"My friend Walter J. Woof, of the Amity Grapevine-Telegraph, came to me this morning in great dismay. 'Godfrey,' he says, 'the wets have gone too far. I'm told there's no place where you can get a drink within several blocks of the convention hall.' . . . Downright unsportsmanlike, I call it, to try and create the impression that it is going to be hard to get a drink unless the amendment is repealed."

Reviewing the politics of the economic crisis, Gloom said:

"Here they are, the party that has been in power for twelve years, that has promised and guaranteed in writing a chicken in every pot, two cars in every garage, and the abolition of poverty -- and what have they got to say about it? Not a thing. They just stand there, firm and unshaken, and make it clear that nobody at all well-bred would mention the fact that somewhere things have gone a little wrong."

He later added:

"To give much consideration to economic questions here would have been very unwise indeed, for none of these fellows knew what to say about them any more than I do. Far better to wait for the Democrats to consider economic questions, and then jump on 'em for considering them wrong."

Next, he covered the Democrat's convention. His wife asked why he'd return to Chicago to see the Democrats "commit suicide."

"I says to her, 'I've attended the funeral of the Democratic party several times, but somehow it always manages to wriggle out of the coffin. The blame thing may never be much more than half alive, but it's pretty hard to kill it entirely."

Visiting delegates on the floor, he found few surprises.

"All of 'em I heard were talking about the fine parties they were having at the hotels at night and arguin' whether the Jasper red brought up from home is better than the Canadian rye you get in Chicago."

With the nomination decided, he offered a final judgment, as told to him by another character, Colonel Sangaree: "Most of these fellows here, they're for Roosevelt not particularly because they want him, but because they think he's going to win."

But Gloom said he found the speed of their decision confusing.

"Old traditions in national conventions are dissolving in the stress of these times."

Only former New York Governor Al Smith denouncing his successor and rival for the nomination, Franklin D. Roosevelt, represented "respect for tradition," he said. "By walking off in a sulk he will go down in history as the last of the old-fashioned Democrats."

Smith's hostility to Roosevelt remained deep and determined. And the Hoover forces hoped that with Smith's help they could win New York in November -- showing the aristocratic ingrate who was really the boss.

Set in the early '80s and aware of that fact almost to a fault, Derick Martini's Lymelife has all the ingredients to be such a film... if only it made good on the title's implied promise of focusing on Lyme disease. Sure, there's the worrywart mother (Jill Hennessy...
LYMELIFE, a story about the dark side of suburban paradise and the loss of innocence centers on two deeply troubled, dysfunctional families during the late 1970s. The film revolves around an awkward, sensitive 15-year old boy, Scott Bartlett (Rory Culkin), whose family life is turned upside-down after an outbreak of Lyme disease hits the community spreading illness and paranoia. Scott's parents -- a workaholic father, Mickey (Alec Baldwin) and an overprotective mother, Brenda (Jill Hennessy) -- are on the verge of a divorce as his older brother Jim (Kieran Culkin) is about to ship off for war. Complicating matters, Scott has fallen in love with his next door neighbor, Adrianna Bragg (Emma Roberts). Adrianna seems to be the only person in the world who understands Scott demonstrated by her equally troubled, less affluent family including an uptight mother, Melissa (Cynthia Nixon), carrying on a not-so-clandestine love affair, and a father, Charlie (Timothy Hutton), slowly slipping away from the effects of Lyme disease. Both profoundly funny and deeply moving, LYMELIFE looks at first love and family dynamics during a time of drastic economic and cultural change.

Lymelife -- Clip: Charlie is not the guy I married

Lymelife -- Based on the true childhood experiences of director Derick Martini, Lymelife is the coming of age story of 15-year old Scott growing up in suburban Long Island. While caught up in his first love, Scott watches the relationships of his parents and their neighbors slowly crumble as they try to keep up with the changing times and expectations of the 1970s. Critically acclaimed, Lymelife features a magnificent ensemble cast, with incredible performances that make you laugh and cry along with them.

County Executive Calls on Designers for Logo Contest
Annapolis, MD (April 23, 2007) - County Executive John R. Leopold today announced a Contest that will help promote the Best that Anne Arundel County has to offer.
An artist in his own right, County Executive Leopold encourages creativity and originality in the Arts. "The Arts should always be viewed as a primary, not secondary pillar of our society," said Mr. Leopold. "The Arts represent an important part of our culture that we pass on to future generations."
The County Executive is calling on students, employees and citizens of Anne Arundel County to design a unified recruitment logo for Anne Arundel County Government. The logo should represent the quality of life experienced here, while promoting the benefits of living and working in Anne Arundel County.
All designers from amateurs to professionals should take part in the contest to create a unified recruitment logo for Anne Arundel County Government. Each logo will be judged on its overall appearance, simplicity, clarity of message, originality, and be bold enough to be reproduced in formats of all sizes and on any type of material. It must have as much impact in black and white, as in color.
Participants must fall into one of the three following categories:
The Logo Contest will run from April 16, 2007 to May 31, 2007. All entry forms and submissions must be received by 5:00 p.m. on May 31, 2007 to qualify for consideration.
There will be no monetary prizes, but prize packages will be available. Each Category will have a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winner, with the first place entrants in each category competing for the grand prize.

- Good steaksBobDDined on 11/14/2014The waitstaff is very friendly and knowledgeable. Nice view overlooking San Diego Bayside towards North Island. Steak perfectly cooked to medium-rare served on a sizzling plate. Get the Crabtini appetizer.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1st Dining @ Ruth's ChrisOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 11/13/2014ambiance was just right, our table overlooking the San Diego bay, food was scrumptious and the pinot noir selected a perfect match for the occasion. setting was simple... but with substance..... my wife and I enjoyed the fine dining at Ruth's Chris. We're definitely coming back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great eveningKarenDined on 11/8/2014The food was divine. LOVED the apple/walnut/blue cheese salad. I like my steak well done, and it was cooked perfectly (no butterflying required). Nice pre-dinner cocktail selection and wine list for dinner.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ruth ChrisOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/7/2014The food was amazing! It was a place we'd always wanted to go to and now have. It was a Friday evening 7ish - a lot of larger groups, we were two seated amongst tables of 6 people, so kinda hard to hear. The servers were using the landing railing behind my seat for stacking silverware a(knives and forks I believe) so they were constantly behind me talking and reaching for those which were within my peripheral vision, a bit annoying for being in a higher scale place. Maybe on a week night it would be better, but special occasions don't always happen on a week day. We are glad we went and had the experience. We agreed we would not return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Our Special Occasion DestinationLoriAnnDined on 10/29/2014It's pricey so we usually only go once a year, for Mother's Day, because it's one of my favorite restaurants. We just celebrated my husband's 50th birthday and the food & service were outstanding as always.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall Good ExperiencetheDateNightManDined on 10/25/2014The food was excellent. My server would sometimes disappear though. Outside of my MIA server, we really enjoyed ourselves. It is really great for a date night. Management took the time to ask how we were doing. Nice touch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Can't go wrong!!!BennyDined on 10/24/2014We came here to celebrate my wife's birthday before going to a ghost tour in Old Town. We are well accommodated inspite coming late for our reservations. Our server Blake make us very comfortable and provided a great service with real emphasis on my wife's birthday. We only have a tiny over cooked steak instead of medium rare it came as a medium cooked but still enjoyed the natural flavoring and how it's prepared. Blake offered to give as another set of steak but told him that we are in a hurry instead he offered us dessert to go that we enjoyed when we went home. Thanks Blake and the surely we are going to return next time.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Impressive dining experienceluvfinediningDined on 10/12/2014Even if steak is not your favorite choice, you will change your mind about filet's after tasting Ruth Chris' choices. I'm a foodie, very particular and don't give out many outstanding comments. However, the food and service here deserves an excellent recommendation.Special Features:
- Expensive, but good.MonicaPVIPDined on 10/11/2014The spouse and I ordered the porter house for two and it was delicious .. we ordered it medium rare and it was closer to rare .. so the cooks should pay more attention to the order. The lobster mac/cheese was ok .. I wasn't fond of the jalapeno taste and won't order this again. The Raspberry Rosemary Cosmo was divine .. I'd go back just for this drink !!
- Superb!!!!!RionaDined on 10/10/2014We've been going to Ruth's cris for the last 10+ years. It's by far the best steak house around. Service is very,very good!!!! Our favorite server is Blake.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family dinnerLuv2dineDined on 10/3/2014My husband, son and I had a great dinner, with excellent service. Had to wait for 20 minutes after our reservation time but well worth it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Too NoisyTropicaleVIPDined on 10/3/2014We went during Restaurant Week and they were very busy. They stuck us in a room that is probably used for private parties and large groups. It was very poor seating planning to put a couple (2 people) in a room of all large parties. There were about 12 tables which had 4 to 12 people at them and the noise level wasn't just loud it was "painful"! BTW a manager did make the rounds and stop by all the tables and we espressed our displeasure and he did give us a quick "sorry. The food and service was great but the noise level really spoiled our time!Special Features:
- Sunset PerfectKaroPeachDined on 10/3/2014Great food, great service, beautiful sunset...will definitely return!Special Features:
- Good but not GREAT619foodieDined on 10/2/2014Our Ruth Chris dining experience was good but not GREAT. Restaurant was poorly lit and noise level was high. One table had too much to drink. The manager was clearly concerned. The steaks were tasty and well prepared. Service was great. However, if you want to spend $100 or more per person, then knock yourself out. For the price, I was expecting gold plated steaks that would knock me off my feet! The 500 degree plate statement is a gimmick. Charging for separate entrees is another gimmick. If I am pay $50 for a broiled steak, I would expect a baked potato or a side vegetable dish. The desert was purchased in bulk and replated. I am sure that many that would disagree with me. This is just my opinion. I prefer to spend my money elsewhere.
- gorgeousMo9330VIPDined on 10/2/2014Incredible views of the San Diego Bay so ask for an outside or window table. We tried their restaurant week menu and I would highly recommend it for a great deal and a chance to try a few items on the menu you might not normally pay attention to. Their seared ahi tuna was incredible. Very filling, expertly cooked, seasoned, and served. The jumbo scallops with sweet corn, spinach and baby tomatoes were just perfect. Not what I would normally get at a steakhouse, but the hubby did the rib eye so I HAD to try something else. His rib eye was excellent, although if you get the au poirve sauce, maybe ask for it on the side; we got a heavy pour. I did a wine pairing with my dinner and got an amazing and recommended pinot noir from Belle Glos.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Date Night DiningfoodiesdDined on 10/1/2014Ruth's Chris always provides excellent and impeccable service. It has wonderful ocean and downtown views and there really isn't a bad seat in the whole place. The steak is wonderfully delicious along with the mashed potatoes. If you are considering am appetizer, definitely order the tuna.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good choice!MsMissyGourmetDined on 9/28/2014The food is great, always. The wine selection is excellent, the service is reliable and the San Diego location has a marvelous view of the marina. A wonderful place for a date night. Going solo is no problem there either. The bar area has smaller tables and the service is not any less wonderful. I travel for work and go there for dinner often before I fly out of San Diego. They check my bags while I dine! YAY! Thr airport is 5 minutes away and cabs are easily accessible. I'm never dissapointed!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Ribeye ravesFitFoodieDined on 9/27/2014Cans here for Restaurant Week...again. As always, they have the best selection for a mere $45. Get the sweet potato casserole for a $2 prix fixe difference. You won't be sorry. And a medium cooked ribeye is the delicious way to go. Thank you for your great service Liz!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Engagement AnniversaryRestaurantLoversDined on 9/26/2014My fiance and I have been wanting to try this place for a few years, and finally did.

- sTRIPLErDined on 9/25/2014I remember coming here before restaraunt week years ago or ever knew restaraunt week ever existed. The steaks here are amazing.

- Over-ratedGeliDined on 9/23/2014For how fancy it is made out to be I was actually disappointed. They seated us in some back room that seemed more like a closet than a restaurant. The waiter was everything but attentive. The food was okay. Was not the romantic and elegant setting that I hoped for...the only thing fancy was the bill :)Special Features:
