Binns does an excellent job of looking at the statesman's major successes, struggles, downfalls, and rises to political prominence. What comes through strongest in this volume is Churchill's determination to fight for what he believed was right, often meddling in the business of others to do so, often making him unpopular. Yet were it not for his doggedness, vision, and realization of the evils behind Hitler's expansion into Europe, then, as in Churchill's own words, "the whole world, including the United States, and all that we have known and cared for, [might have sunk] into the abyss of a new dark age...." His early life, his beginnings in the military, and his work as a journalist and a writer of numerous books and articles are all explored. Bouts of depression are mentioned in conjunction with a lifetime of constant productivity, which included painting and bricklaying, passions that he pursued with the same determination and dedication that he showed toward politics. Archival photographs and reproductions and boxes of information are attractive and unobtrusive to the main narrative. Binns portrays her subject as a complex, extraordinary hero and thinker.

Dec 18, 2013Portal 2 contains fun campaign with fluent story telling progress and mind bugging puzzles, Highly repayable because there are millions of custom chambers and you can even create your own! You should buy this game, totally.
Dec 11, 2013This is probably my all-time favorite game. Interesting story and fun to play. I often got stuck in the same level for quite a while, which got a little annoying.
If you're going to play this game, play Portal 1 first. It will make the experience much more interesting and enjoyable. -
Dec 8, 2013Portal 2 is a fun, engaging and truly wonderful experience. The puzzles were well-adjusted on all parameters and so was the soft and humble narrating. Compared to an exciting novel or an alluring painting, Portal 2 contains the best of both and is everything an artful and sly game should be.
Dec 3, 2013portal 2... what can i say guys. this game is one of the best games out there and its so worth the price.
i would recommend you to buy it and when you are done you will see what i mean. this game deserves a place in your library. get it now! -

Nov 26, 2013The Only Reason that I gave this game 9 out of 10 is because it sets the bar too high for other games ...
Graphics Are good soundtracks are awesome and there is that feeling in the game the feeling that you are alone!
Hope they make more games like this -
Nov 19, 2013This game is a true work of art. The funny and mischievous characters, the awesome gameplay mechanics, and clever storyline add up to the best game ever made for PC to date.
Nov 18, 2013
Nov 17, 2013If you love creative games, you must play portal. I love Valve so much. It is an amazing sequel. Score rating Half Life 2 (10) Portal 2 (10) Left 4 Dead 2 (9) Team Fortress 2 (8).
Nov 16, 2013
Nov 15, 2013This game is great, but it does drag on a bit. At least in one-player mode. I must admit that I haven't played multiplayer, so I'm giving this game the benefit of the doubt. If i end up playing multi-player and it is fantastic and amazing, I'll come back and give it a '10'

Nov 8, 2013Portal 2 is a true masterpiece.The Science-Fiction atmosphere and the logical puzzles are two ingredients that makes the game greater than everything...absolutely awesome.I honestly can say that Portal 2 is the best Valve game.I really like it and I recommend it
Nov 7, 2013
Nov 5, 2013This was a great sequel to an already amazing game. The problem I had with this game was the lack of replay value. Within 2 days I had already beat the single player, co-op, and had over 90% of the achievements.
Oct 31, 201311/10. They took a 10/10 game (Portal) and made it better.
The co-op missions are awesome and would make it worth buying the game even if they didn't improve the single player mode. -
Oct 29, 2013An absolutely brilliant game with a superb story and puzzles that will keep you on it for hours. I completed it on 2 sittings after buying it recently on steam. I have to say it is one of the greatest games that you will play. Well done Valve
Oct 25, 2013
Oct 22, 2013This game is amazing! It took everything that the original portal did right and improved greatly upon it.
The gameplay is better, the characters are more funny, adn the story is amazing!!! -
Oct 21, 2013The perfect sequel to the original Portal game. Interactions with Wheatley and Glados really brings in an appropriate atmosphere. Surprisingly, the game is still running on Valve's Source engine however the graphics are much improved and efficient. Going through the developer's commentary, you'll realize a lot of though has been put into this game. Valve please count to 3.
Oct 15, 2013
Oct 10, 2013Awesome game, just like the first one! The campaign is really immersive and the co-op is very fun to play with a friend. The achievements are very challenging.

Sep 5, 2013SPROGGER you're an idiot. Nothing to add. What a retarded. I don't understand useless idiots like you, stop bashing great game you retarded. I'm glad that you aren't a professional reviewer because you don't have the intelligence.
Sep 1, 2013While the story and puzzles are good the main success's was the co-op and humor the story is better and the new characters those robots in co-op and Wheatly are excellent characters and Wheatly's voice acting is the best ever that guy deserves a award well okay maybe Vaas actor Michael Mando is better but still this is a really good game
Aug 31, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Aug 31, 2013Wow, a great game. Although it wasn't quite like Portal, I still loved it. Portal was quite dark and sometimes creepy. But Portal 2 was mostly humorous, which wasn't bad either! Overall I would easily recommend this game to anyone!
Aug 30, 2013The gameplay is better than the first game because they added some new elements to the game. But the best thing from this game is the story. You'll be shocked when you know the true relationship between Chell and GLaDOS.
Aug 22, 2013
Aug 16, 2013this game is just the best game you will ever play...had to get this game across multiple platforms. best game play and best story line, u cant go wrong with it.
Aug 15, 2013
Aug 15, 2013
Aug 12, 2013An excellent sequel to one of my favorite games Thank god it was longer than the first one, those puzzles were too easy. It was probably difficult for some because the mechanics were much more different than many were used to... but again, Portal 1 is so much shorter.
To whoever said the physics were broken: Time to get a new PC, man... -
Aug 10, 2013The game is absolutely amazing. It has great puzzles, great story and the multiplayer addition makes it just so much better. The puzzles are engaging and require a great deal of teamwork in multiplayer. Definitely a game that is going to take a lot of your free hours.
Aug 9, 2013One of my favorite games ever. Valve did make an awesome puzzlegame, which contains action, challenging levels and a great story; not so often founf in this kind a games.
For me clearly a 10/10. -
Aug 9, 2013This game has a great story, which will keep you playing for hours or even days. Also, the Co-Op function will add to this play time when you have a friend to solve puzzles with. And as an PC exclusive, the Puzzle Maker will add endless possibilites to have fun. Definitely best game of 2011.
Aug 5, 2013This game is wonderful. It's ..i think.. the best game from Valve.The story is great but the atmosphere bring this game to higher level. The characters are unique and awesome. Weathley have such a funny character. He's in a certain way, really idiotic but it makes this game more humoristic.
This game would not be the same without Glados and Wheatley.
It's simply a wonderful game. -
Jul 29, 2013Very great gameplay and lots of fun. campain was great and coop is just as fun! and steam has added the option to add your own maps with steam workshop (i know you can move the maps into the folder) which makes it alot easier to add maps to portal 2!
Overall i give this game a 10/10 for single player, coop and the extra things to keep the game fun! one of many great games from valve!! -
Jul 28, 2013
Jul 28, 2013The best Valve game (yes, better than HL2!). This game is an absolute joy from start to end, with humorous and puzzling situations. If you haven't played the first one... Well still do that, but you HAVE to play this one IMMEDIATELY after!
Jul 27, 2013
Jul 27, 2013Well, this is by far one of the best puzzle games I have ever played! I loved the storyline and the cooperative mode made the whole experience even more interesting and amusing. I was also excited by the PeTI (Perpetual Testing Initiative) that gave me the ability to create my own puzzles as well as to enjoy the mind-blowing creations of other users.
Jul 25, 2013Portal 2 is the sequel of Portal and much better! It has new gaming features, you can play in coop and buld and play community maps! The game has much humor and is just brilliant.
Jul 23, 2013To all the people giving bad reviews: did you guys even play the game?? if you did, then you should know it's a masterpiece. If you didn't, the please don't rate.
Jul 21, 2013
Jul 19, 2013
Jul 18, 2013I'm absolutely taken aback at just how good this game is. I finished the first Portal in just under 2 days, and loved every second of it. Portal 2 is leaps and bounds better than Portal 1, and I didn't think that would have been possible. One of the best games I have ever played, and likely ever will.

Jun 23, 2013Portal 2 is better than Portal in every way possible. There are more puzzles that are more complicated, a plot with an unexpected twist, online gameplay, and SDK which we can make our own maps with. Portal 1 was great, but Portal 2 is better

Jun 7, 2013
Jun 5, 2013This game is perfect... basically if you are looking for a fun time and a new experience play this game. It is not the same game as Portal 1. Valve made the game a longer and more modern game, instead of the indie style of Portal 1.
Jun 4, 2013Portal was good but this second installment really borders on perfection. Clever, funny, interesting: it never stops to be funny. Co-Op part of the game is great too.
May 29, 2013A fantastically fun adventure, with awesome characters, a dark and atmospheric environment, interesting storyline. One of my personal favorite games, and valve's best so far. Would recommend to anyone.
May 25, 2013
May 20, 2013Great game, recommended for anyone. Funny characters, simple yet interesting storyline, highly atmospheric environment. The puzzles mess with your head at first, but as the game progresses, you just start using portals as naturally as walking. Only downside is this game is not very replayable, by its nature. I'd replay the heck out of it otherwise.
May 14, 2013A brilliant puzzle game! I remember playing it when it first came out. Portal 2 has both a good singleplayer and CO-OP campaign. There's a lot of fun dialogues and cut-scenes. The puzzles are fairly challenging and the game is in overall very entertaining.
Good work, Valve! -
May 14, 2013
Apr 28, 2013fun new mechanics, great voice-acting, funny dialog... am i the only one who almost cried at the ending song? and the sense of freedom that makes you reflect on life... this is the pinnacle of interactive experience folks.
haven't tried any of the custom made maps, but that's just a bonus. i'm going to try to get my fiancee to go through the co-op with me. wish me luck! -

Mar 28, 2013Nice game, nice story.At some levels you have to think a lot for the solution, but this is what makes it fun.Graphics are quite good considering that its working with Source
Mar 26, 2013
Mar 21, 2013Before Portal I've never played any puzzle game before, but I saw people love it so I caught it on sale.
Portal 2 is amazing, funny, long and interesting. The plot was interesting and unpredictable and the graphics proved that the Source engine can also be pretty. Now with the workshop evolved too, Portal 2 is simply a stream of endless fun. I highly recommend. -
Mar 17, 2013Everything you'd expect from Valve; deep and interesting story, puzzles that aren't too easy but aren't too hard, fantastic humour and beautiful graphics. One of my favourite games of all time.
Mar 11, 2013The engaging, mind-bending gameplay of the original with a few twists, the same fantastic voice acting, and the best narrative in video game history. Rarely is the medium handled with such technical and artistic proficiency. Simply the best.
Mar 9, 2013
Feb 23, 2013HOLY CRAP! I haven't even finished this game and I can tell that the storyline is epic! Screw the others who say this game is dung! I say that this is a game I would recommend to anyone who is AWESOME!
(which is everyone) -
Feb 19, 2013I'm speechless. Speechless. Amazing game. Portal 1 was short, but Valve took that issue to heart and made Portal 2 5x longer. Made it funnier too. Just buy this game without thinking. I wanted to give it a 10, but I had to knock off 1 point because the game has an ending.
Feb 15, 2013
Feb 12, 2013One of, if not THE BEST game I have EVER PLAYED IN MY LIFE! The Story to the series itself is amazing as it is all hidden and scattered throughout the games.
I'm top 100 in the world on the PC Leaderboards and I'll continue to keep playing this game for years to come! -
Feb 3, 2013Perfect gameplay, perfect dialogue, perfect art direction, perfect story, perfect music, perfect ending, perfect everything in a perfect game. 11 out of 10.

Jan 23, 2013By far one of my most favorite games, ever. Filled with genius plot, humorous characters, and excellent puzzle design. The first Portal game was released in 2007, with addition to the orange box. But 4 years later, Valve took what was great about the first game, and multiplied it by 1000. A fully fledged, innovative title that nobody should miss. Ever.
Jan 21, 2013What can I say that has not been covered already in all these reviews. A GOTY worthy title and a must have. One of my favourite games to date and probably Valves best ever title. A very enjoyable, engaging game with nice graphics , great voice-acting and great dialogue , you really can't ask for more from this gem.
Jan 20, 2013
Jan 17, 2013I simply love this game, I believe this to be one of the best examples of how Modern gaming can go through. The characters you meet are fruitful and they don't feel just like mere robots ! That was already a huge surprise to me , a major improvement to what Portal 1 had . As a puzzle game , it did not disappoint , it simply delivers.. now I just hope Half-Life 3 will complete my love for Valve.
Jan 15, 2013Portal 2 takes Portal and exceeds the awesomeness they made in the first game. It's a fact that Valve can still troll their userbase for 5 months and still make a great game!
May 12, 2012
Oct 20, 2011Almost as good as the first one. Main reasons are lack of cake, unfunny Wheatley and slightly boring one-solution middle-levels. Otherwise Portal 2 is as clever as it is well written. And now Half-Life 2: Ep 3, please. [May 2011]
Oct 6, 2011The graphics may not be of the same caliber of other AAA titles, and the story may falter from time to time, but those are paltry excuses not to experience one of the best current generation games around.
Jun 13, 2011A hilarious slice of gaming glory. [July 2011, p.92]

Babyliss Pro TT 1 1/2" Steam Straightener
ShawnLas Vegas, NVSoft And SilkyI went to the a new salon and the stylist used this on my hair. It was incredibly soft and silky. I went to get my hair trimmed, I usually straighten my own hair. The visit and cost was worth it, but this iron does something so simple but great. My hair was silky for days. She did not put any special conditioner in my hair, it was the iron. It is not available in many stores. I will definitely purchase this product in the future. I have African American wavy/curly hair and use a lot of heat sometime to get my hair looking good.

The concept of human rights in general emerged after the Second World War, but the right to a healthy environment, as one of those human rights, was never a priority. Today, this right is an emerging concept that is being hotly debated in the human rights arena. A healthy environment is an essential aspect of the right to life, not only for human beings but also for other animals on the planet. Violation, therefore, of the right to a healthy environment is potentially a violation of the basic right to life. Whether, therefore, recognition should be given to a new fundamental right to a healthy environment has emerged as an issue in national and international private sectors and as well as in international politics.
The debate has attracted much jurisprudential and academic attention with divided views being expressed. Environmental problems that could have a serious impact on human health and could even threaten the very existence of human life have prompted the current debate. The right to life is the most fundamental of all rights, but life itself may become worthless if a persons right to a healthy environment is under threat. Environmental protection then becomes essential for Mans survival, or, as one author has observed, humankind must be protected because human beings have become an endangered species.
Human Rights and a Healthy Environment
The term healthy environment has wide implications and may involve imprecise adjectives such as clean, decent, and satisfactory. Professor Atapattu describes the right to environment as a substantive right alongside the right to life, the right to health, the right to an adequate standard of living, the right to information and the right to privacy. The Draft Principle of Human Rights and the Environment 1994 defines the right to a healthy environment as including the right to be free from pollution, the right to quality air and water, the right to safe and healthy food, and the right to adequate housing and living conditions. Professor D. Shelton suggests that ultimately the right to environment demands environmental standards that regulate harmful air pollution and other types of emission. A healthy and clean environment is one that permits the realisation of a life of dignity and well-being.
Human rights are universal and inherent in nature itself. It is said that they are the sum total of the opportunities that ensure adequate development and expression of individual personality. The safeguarding of Mans environmental rights is, therefore, paramount in protecting human dignity and survival. A growing number of global and regional legal instruments and national constitutions include a right to environment among their human rights guarantees.
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948 (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights 1966 (ICESCR) make no explicit mention of the human right to a healthy environment. However, since these documents are the foundation and source of all rights, they indirectly deal with a healthy environment as a human right. For example, Article (25) of the UDHR recognises the right of all people to a standard of living adequate for health, and Article (11) of the ICESCR emphasises the standard of living and improvement of living.
The UN Declaration on the Human Environment in 1972 (the Stockholm Declaration) was an early international instrument, agreed by the UN: it deals specifically with human rights and the quality of the environment. Principle 1 of the Declaration proclaims: Man has the right to freedom, equality and a fundamental right to adequate conditions of life in an environment of quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being, and he bears a solemn responsibility to protect and improve the environment for present and future generations. This principle, however, did not proclaim an absolute human right to a healthy environment: it did, though, recognise that basic environmental health was vital for the enjoyment of human rights.
The most recent instrument on the subject, emanating from the UN Conference on Environment and Development 1992 held in Rio de Janeiro (the Rio Declaration), expressed the view that human beings are at the centre of concerns for sustainable development. They are entitled to a healthy and productive life in harmony with nature. Although the Rio Declaration did not give formal recognition to a human right to a healthy environment, it did explicitly recognise that environmental degradation has a negative effect on the enjoyment of human life, health and a persons standard of living.
The Stockholm and Rio declarations did not, therefore, create legal rights and obligations in themselves, but they did set out guiding principles for future international and national environmental laws. In recent decades, international human rights law and international environmental law have developed more rapidly than any other aspect of international law.
After the Stockholm Declaration, the concept of a right to environment grew quickly, and hundreds of international environmental soft law instruments resulted. Two regional instruments, the African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights and the Protocol of San Salvador, explicitly recognised the right to a healthy environment: these are important since they are binding on the party states.
Many national constitutions and laws recognise the right to a healthy environment or establish a duty on the national government to provide and protect a healthy environment. In countries that do not have specific constitutional provisions for this right, it may have become recognised through interpretation in the courts. Of the 203 currently recognised nations, 50 have explicitly recognised the right to a healthy environment in their constitution, and a further 30 have in theirs recognised a duty to defend or protect the environment.
Moreover, courts around the world have interpreted the near-universal provision of the right to life to implicate the right to a healthy environment in which to live that life. A pioneer in this field has been the Supreme Court of India, which has adopted an expansive interpretation of the right to life clause in the Indian constitution. Whereas Article 21 of the constitution stipulates that no person shall be deprived of his life or personal liberty except according to procedure established by law, the court has expanded this to encompass human dignity, the right to a livelihood, the right to shelter and clothing, and environmental rights.
International legal instruments and constitutional incorporation are proof of the emphatic emergence of the concept of a right to a healthy environment as a fundamental human right: a consensus is clearly growing throughout the world. It is widely appreciated now that our global environment is deteriorating rapidly in a manner that can compromise mankinds well being and prevent the full enjoyment of all human rights. Our failure to tackle this problem will seriously threaten the worlds ecological balance and with that the eventual survival of the human race.
What of Nepal?
Nepals Interim Constitution of 2007 for the first time provided rights to environment and health, womens rights, and a right to social justice. Article 16 (1) of the Constitution provides that every person shall have the right to live in a clean environment. However, a catalogue of rights and freedoms expressed in the constitution, no matter how extensive, is insufficient unless those rights and freedoms are supported by strong liberal legislation, firm enforcement mechanisms, and by an independent judiciary able to interpret their provisions.
Despite the constitutional guarantee of a healthy environment, no enforcement mechanism has been provided in the country so far. Millions of people, especially in cities, are forced to live in a poor environment. Every day, people from all walks of life have to struggle with pollution from traffic and industry, and every 50 metres there is a mountain of garbage.
Recently the governments ambitious and praiseworthy National Volunteer Campaign brought Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai, senior government officials, and hundreds of volunteers and municipal employees on to Kathmandus streets for a week-long cleaning campaign. This kind of volunteer activity may be helpful in creating public awareness and perhaps in earning overnight cheap popularity for some individuals. However, removing some garbage and dust from the streets in this manner does not amount to a long-term solution. We require a proper policy and programme and an adequate mechanism for implementing and controlling it.
Human rights, when expressed in national constitutions and in laws, directly influence government agencies, as well as institutions and individuals, in the shaping of policies and practices. Our own forthcoming constitution must recognise the right to a healthy environment as a fully-fledged fundamental right of every citizen. Strong laws and regulations need to be formulated thereafter in different sectors (e.g. transportation and industry) to regulate public and private institutions that contribute to environmental pollution that all citizens must suffer. Most importantly, we need to identify the root causes of the environmental pollution and to develop a holistic approach to the maintenance of a healthy and sound environment.
There is no doubt today that one of the greatest threats to future human existence comes from the deteriorating human environment. Our own enjoyment of fundamental human rights is severely affected and the future well-being of mankind is compromised. Procedurally, the right to a healthy environment encompasses other rights such as the right to information, the right to participate, and the right to effective remedies: these are themselves basic constituents of good governance and participatory democracy. Thus, in practice the right to a healthy environment demands that citizens are fully informed of the health of the environment and of any activity that threatens it, and that they participate in the decision making process and arrive at an effective solution.

I have a Two hole faucet in my kitchen sink. It is a pull out with a separate handle. Can I replace this with a one hole configuration or am I 'stuck' with the two hole (on quartz counter top)? The button on the pullout faucet is broken so I need to replace it. | |||
you could get replacement parts for your existing faucet from the manufacturer. might even be free. you can get a single-hole system and put in either a sprayer hose, or a soap dispanser (which always clogs,) or install a drinking water filter kit and use the second hole for the filtered water. you could even put a 2-holer in there. maybe code in your area requires an air break on the dishwasher or disposer which you don't have. now you can get legal without cutting another hole in your counter! lots of options. sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money? | ||||
Most of the single-hole faucets come with a trim plate that can cover up your typical three-hole sink. Jaybee | ||||

Abby Lane
Online Reservations
My mom sister and I went here before we saw Wicked at the Boston Opera House. The food was amazing! Especially the Blue Burger!!! I got the Honey cocktail and I loved it! I would definitely go back here again. Our server was just OK though. He forgot to bring us the chips and dip that are suppose to come complimentary with every table, we told him we were rushing because of the show and we ended up having to get and give our check to another waiter because he was taking so long, and it wasn't even busy. But good thing the food was awesome because it helped us overlook his bad service. The place was really clean too!
The four dishes we ordered were great ... blackened catfish, ribs, burger, and chicken fingers. All perfectly prepared with nice presentation. Good martini's too!
Ordered a few apps for the table, came out in a timely fashion. Tuna was delicious, nachos are a big order! While the food itself was great, service was a little slow had to get our server to take our order. Overall good experience would recommend checking it out. Windows open to the street, make for a great feel.
I got the lobster roll for brunch and was not disappointed. It had tons of lobster, and the bun was so good I could have eaten it alone. The fries left something to be desired though. I'm pretty sure they were the prepackaged frozen kind you pop in the oven.
We were seated upstairs which is very nice lounge area, the decor was nice, I was very comfortable love the big open windows. Our server was very personable and attentive. I ordered a chipotle half chicken that they had on their restaurant week menu which was honestly phenomenal. My friend had to be the complicated one and order a burger with a fried egg on it( not something that was on the menu ) and she made it happen. I was very pleased with everything about the experience.
Went to Abby Lane before seeing Wicked. Drinks were great and the bartender attentive. We ordered the oysters and a cheese plate for appetizers which came out quickly. for dinner i had the flat iron steak which was good, but over a bit over the top with the marinade. My husband had the po'boy sandwich which he said was o.k. Dessert was homemade donuts with three types of dipping sauces were excellent. I would go back and eat there again.
Had dinner with a friend and four tweens before the theater. Everyone easily found something to enjoy! The service and food were excellent and the ambiance was lively. All in all a great experience--we all agreed that we would come back.
I went with a couple friends for a restaurant week lunch. The bar is gorgeous, the location is central to the theater district (and great for people watching). The food....amazing. One of the best burgers I've ever had, and the two guys I was with agreed. The fries were perfectly seasoned and not at all greasy. And the chowder rivaled the best of the seafood restaurants. I was so happy to have found this place - we will definitely be back. We were there for lunch, so didn't get a feel for the bar scene, but the bar was spacious, had great wall-mounted flat screens and looked really fun.
Our server, Stephanie was attentive to us throughout our visit and knowledgeable about the menu. All wait staff interacted with guests in a welcoming manner, reviewing the menu with a table of apparent tourists who were not familiar with reading English. Only one employee seemed to be using his cell phone throughout our visit, but he was in the kitchen and had no impact on us.
It's a new place in the theater district. Pricing was affordable, portions were large and they had fun drinks. Our server was attentive for the most part and I'd def. go back.
We ate at Abby Lane before seeing a show the other night and it was really good. We both had the Asian style baby back ribs and they were so tasty and tender. Service was also really good. Highly recommend this spot!
The meal began with the best onion dip with blue potato chips we have ever had! The meal progressed with the Boston Bibb Salad and Clam Chowder. Both were exactly the perfect texture and amount, and were promptly devoured. The pork chop and shrimp salad baguette were the entrees. Both delicious!
Wanted something new in the theater district and found something to return too. Chef Santos was there this night so the food did not disappoint. While it was not the best meal I have ever had in Boston, for the price it was close to the best. Drinks were very good and service was great. The marscapone cheesecake was amazing. You could definitely tell this place was designed from HGTV. Would definitely go back.
I came here with my friend before a show at The Wilbur and it was a fantastic dinner. My friend is actually vegan, and they were very kind enough to check about making sure she could have something substantial to eat and which items were ok. The Abby Burger is fantastic and I enjoyed the flavor combinations in it. The bbq chip appetizer was a great crunch and start to the meal. The cocktails are also tasty. A tad pricey, but I think it's worth it. The creativity with the flavors really sets these drinks apart from other places.
The food was so delicious, even a typically more basic dish like roasted chicken or grilled asparagus had style & flair. My group even split the homemade donut holes for dessert and they were phenomenal. I can't wait to go back to try all the other things I wanted to eat on the menu. Be prepared for some tough ordering decisions!!
Excellent lobster roll, potato salad ok, great clam chowder
The food, service, and ambience at Abby Lane is unsurpassed - the chef is an artist.
We love coming here. The food and service are always great, and the vibe is way cool. Love the blue chips given to each table, too- that is a nIce touch. And, of course, it is always fun to see Jason at work in the open kitchen! We have brought and sent many friends here, and they have all loved it, too.
My husband and I recently went to Abby Lane before a play. We had a reservation but decided to snag 2 seats at the bar since that's more our style. Our bartender was fantastic! He was attentive without hovering and recommended very tasty drinks. We ordered a Margherita pizza, clam chowder and salad. Everything was delicious. We'll definitely be back!
Even though we didn't sit in front with the French Doors, still got the view from our high top table and added the city vibe to dinning experience. The food and service were great. Kind of tucked in to a little spot so rated 'neighborhood gem'. Walked to Boston Opera House after so location to theater district convenient. Not super dressy or stuffy which worked for us. Overall a pretty cool restaurant.
We walked to Abby Lane after a show at the Opera House. Staff is very pleasant, areas for large groups and seating area in front of kitchen cooking area if you are interested in watching the food preparation. Lovely interior with bar area in first floor. It was a warm day so the doors/windows to the restaurant were open to the street which was nice. Food was very good, chicken taco was available gluten free. Interesting selection for mixed drinks as well.
Different kind of pub menu, great presentation of food, Fun drink choices.
This is a little gem of restaurant, which should not be overlooked. Very cool to see Exec Chef, and TV celebrity, Jason Santos manning the kitchen during our visit. The food was exceptional and the menu eclectic by Boston standards. We will visit again soon!!
No complaints, we couldn't have been happier with food, service, and overall ambience. This place is definitely fit for foodies. Beautiful presentations and interesting flavors. We ordered a series of small plates and it seemed like each thing was even more interesting than the last.
We stopped for a pre show dinner. Not very crowded but he service was great. We were hoping for shrimp taco special to be on the menu, but when it was not we inquired and they were more than happy to make them up for us. The home made nacho's (Lime this night) were awesome and we were disappointed the we were too full to try the home made doughnuts with dipping sauces. They sounded and looked fabulous. Next time.
My girlfriend and I stopped in to have a bite to eat and a few drinks before going to a play. We ended up sitting at the bar. All of our servers were very friendly and personable. The food was delicious and arrived in a timely manner. Was a great experience overall.
The menu was eclectic and interesting, but a bit limited . The food was excellent, but not diet-friendly. We had dinner before the show and went back for cocktails in the upstairs bar after the show. The service upstairs was nowhere near the exceptional service downstairs.
Great atmosphere, crowded before show at the Wang. Unique menu options, good atmosphere, food was good. Bar menu a bit overpriced, not a place for a few drinks.
We went to this restaurant before a concert at the Wang Theater and we had a reservation. It got very busy in there very fast so I'm glad we had a reservation. Abby Lane has a very nice atmosphere, great food and great service. Main level has a very nice bar and several dining tables and is open to the kitchen. Upstairs has more of a lounge feel with another bar and lots of comfortable seating and some high top tables. The large wall of windows opens up to the outside giving the upstairs an open and airy feel yet it still felt cozy and comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend this restaurant to friends and family. We'll be going back.
We decided to visit Abby Lane prior to a show at the Wang Theater. The food was really good, especially the tacos and surprisingly...the pizza! The upstairs bar has an awesome view of the bustling theater district. Great drink menu as well. Our service in both areas was excellent. They were attentive yet relaxed. The restaurant is great without being pretentious. The buttermilk onion dip served with blue potato chips as a chefs table offer was incredible.
We had tickets to concert at Wang Theater, loved being so close to the venue. The complimentary blue chips and dip were excellent. Great drink menu. Food is always good. They might have been a little shorthanded, some delay in getting served but the server was great once she connected with us. Asked if we were heading across to show and then made sure we got our check quickly. We need to go back when we have more time to linger because we still haven't had the donuts!
Upstairs is lounge-like and cozy....with fireplace and lots of sofas ................Food is inventive and delicious. I had the Chinese style barbecued spare ribs and they were fall-off-the-bone meaty and absolutely delicious. Mussels were also wonderful. Others in our party had the steak, the catfish and the asparagus salad .........everyone was pleased. Great place......
We had a great time meeting friends new to the city. The Abby Lane burger was the best I've had in Boston and the fries are amazing--unlike others I've had--crispy and light. The drink menu was impressive and the cocktail of the week (berry margarita) was fresh and delicious. Our server was attentive without being overbearing, which was welcome as we just wanted some time to talk and catch up.
We have been to Abby Lane several times now, always a pleasant experience. The Kobe sliders are my favorite, very tasty. It is also a great place to meet-up for drinks early or late in the evening, especially the upstairs lounge, the room is cozy and beautiful, snag a table by the windows for great views (a late night app menu is available). Most recently we tried the brunch, food is fantastic, the French toast and pancakes are amazing, and priced very reasonably.
Ate lunch with a few colleagues here. The food is always very good, as is the service. Abby Lane makes great French fries! I had the jumbo asparagus salad, which was very good, and unusual. Others had salads or sandwiches.
We were a party of 5 and sat upstairs in the lounge area. The place is lively and fun, but not too loud. The food is an interesting mix and the cocktail menu ws great. I recommend the meat and cheese appetizer. Not your usual mix, very high quality. I had the fried oyster po' boy which was delicious. Going back again tonight.
Loved our meal. Drinks were tasty, apps were yummy (scallion pancakes and Kobe sliders), and all of our meals were delish (especially my spicy shrimp sandwich). Loved it. Can't wait to come back.
If you are delayed by traffic and want a great meal in the theatre district, quick in and out, Abbey Lane fits the bill. Wait staff is attentive and friendly!
Restaurant was comfortable and had an energetic noise level. The tables are close together which made it cozy but noisy. It was a beautiful night so they opened the front windows open to the street so fresh air was nice but Tremont Street noise added to the vibrant atmosphere. We had a couple of sliders for appetizers and the yellow fin tuna entrees. The grilled tuna was delicious and grilled asparagus was wonderful with a sauce and waffle chips, it was excellent. The sliders were great too and the donuts were to die for. They came with 3 different dipping sauces but sadly not a chocolate one. Great Dinner overall! We will definitely go back!
My husband and I enjoyed Abby Lane very much. It was a convenient location before we took in a show at Citi Wang Theater. I highly recommend the drinks! My husband had the Wolf on your Noggin' and I enjoyed Jason's Honey Jar. If you like lemon, you need to get this drink! The food was great, too! We tried the Spicy Avocado Shrimp Baguette and Crispy Eggplant Parm. Pizza. Both were delish! But, the thing you can't leave without getting are the Made-to-order Doughnut holes!! They are heavenly with three dipping sauces (I loved the fig and my husband loved the pumpkin marzipan!) Loved!
Good food, fun place. Even saw Steven Tyler and friends, dressed as Peter Pan characters (it was Halloween weekend). I guess he knows a good restaurant!
We had a blast! The food was amazing and our waitress was awesome! Thank you so much. We will definetly be back!
Great spot for excellent food before a show . Brunch menu had both lunch and breakfast options which is important!
Abby Lane is a great location to the theatre district and bay village. Low lights and good energy make you feel alive! Great drinks, I recommend the "Wolf on your Noggin'!"
The food was very good. Wait staff was pretty good. Very cozy and great location in Boston's theatre district.
We mentioned in our reservation (made 45 minutes before) that we were catching a show in an hour, and even though they were totally jammed on a Saturday night, they managed to seat us at the chef's table and totally expedite our entrees. Loved the place before, but after this all-star treatment, I can't wait to go back. Didn't interact with any staff member I didn't like.
Had a nice table overlooking crowd coming to theatre
Found this restaurant online and selected due to close proximity to the theater. Atmosphere is inviting. Wait staff was fun, friendly and knowledgeable. Cocktails are so hard to choose from! We wanted them all! Highly recommend Abby Lane. The food was delish and very reasonably priced. We're from out of town and will definitely make a repeat visit on our next trip to Boston!!
My friend and I were both working so went out for a "liquid lunch" at Abby Lane. Excellent cocktails, and the sandwiches were very good. Abby Lane makes REALLY good fries too. And, we had a celebrity sighting, as Dan Lauria, who is playing at the theater across the street, was sitting at the next table. Fun lunch!
I will go to abbey lane from now on when attending the theater. Great food, ambience and the menu has reasonably priced choices. I was very impressed and chose it only by its name

Ah, the power of the blogosphere. As of 11:00 a.m. this morning, the City of Chicago has removed the security cameras from the top of Millennium Park's Crown Fountain. Good riddance. Devyn and I blogged about the offending cameras and got the Chicago Tribune to write an article on the issue–and article that appeared today. You're welcome, Chicago
City of Chicago Defaces Crown Fountain
There are many good places to put security cameras in Chicago's architecturally brilliant Millennium Park. Smack on top of Jaume Plensa's hyper-popular Crown Fountain is not one of those places.

Take an adventure holiday in CANADA with World Expeditions, one of the world's leading travel companies.
Canada is the second-largest country in world (after Russia) extending 7700km (4775mi) east to west and 4600km (2850mi) north to south, despite it's geographical size it ranks just 33rd in terms of population. It is situated North of USA in between USA and Russia via the north polor route. Approximately 90% of the population is concentrated within 160 km of the USA border.
Canada's terrain is mostly plains with mountains in the west and lowlands in the southeast. The Great Plains cover Saskatchewan, Manitoba and some of Alberta, while in the east, the countries main cities as well as the world famous Niagar Falls. In the north the landscape is dominated by the Canadian Shield, a rocky and glacially sanded region, while in the far Arctic north the landscape is mainly frozen tundra.
The area of most interest to World Expeditions is Western Canada, which is known for its Rocky Mountains, where some of the world's most beautiful national parks can be found.
Trek the classic trails of Waterton National Park, Banff National Park, Yoho and Jasper National Park on our High Trails of the Canadian Rockies trekking adventure. The stunning peaks, glaciers and high passes of Canada's grand Rocky Mountains are best appreciated on foot. More Canadian Rocky Mountains Trekking Holidays.

The Toronto Star's Wonderlist has launched a great contest this week. From now until Thursday, Feb. 18, Wonderlist is partnering with Bel Air Travel and giving away a trip for two to the Mayan Riviera.
Winners will enjoy one week, all-inclusive, at the Five-Star Riu Playacar in Mexico. For information, go to www.wonderlist.ca and click on the link to enter.
You know about (well, probably) about Robert DeNiro's Greenwich Hotel in New York. The lads behind U2 are behind the Clarence Hotel in Dublin, Ireland.
Now comes word that Richard Gere, and, no, I'm not putting him in the category of Bono or Bob, has opened a hotel in tony Westchester County, New York (just north of NYC) called the Bedford Post. Apparently Esquire magazine gave one of its restaurant three thumbs up, so it sounds like he and wife/actress Carey Lowell (never heard of her but I don't get out much) have done a nice job.
It's only an eight-room place, so that seems pretty smart. And a boutique hotel in Westchester sounds just a smidge better than operating a Red Roof Inn at the Cleveland Airport.
I wrote yesterday about dirty hotels, and how tripAdvisor reviewers had said that six of the 10 dirtiest in Canada were in Ontario. Well, my employer, the Toronto Star, and it never hurts to give the boss a pat on the back, sent a couple reporters out yesterday to check out the Howard Johnson's Toronto East and the Arkona Motel in NIagara falls. They didn't find them all that bad for the price.
Either way, it's a good story in the GT section of today's Toronto Star, so check it out.
Had a chance to try out some new, noise-cancelling headphones from a company called Blackbox. They're very sleek and very portable, and they do a reasonable job of cancelling airplane noise. You can still hear the annoying interruptions from the pilot telling you they're now cruising at 35,000 feet (do I care if it's 35,000 or 36,000 feet or 35,700 feet, or what runway we're taking off from; honestly, we get way too much information on our flights from pilots who must figure, hey, there's a radio so I oughta talk to the folks squished into economy back there). Sorry, where was I? Oh, right, these are a lot better than my regular iPod headphones, for sure.
The sound was quite good, especially on my new Beatles in Mono CD's, where you can really hear Ringo bashing away on the drums and pick up more of McCartney's melodic bass lines. My favourite feature is how the part that fits over your ear swivels, allowing you to fold them up nicely and stow them in a sleek, round, two-inch-high container that also fits your iPod. It stashes away quite nicely in my backpack; much better than my old headphones.
Blackbox headphones are made by Phitek System and are available at Future Shop locations across Canada.
Surprise - not everyone agrees with my rant about hotels making us pay for the Internet. I got a comment from a reader named John yesterday who took issue with my suggestion that we shouldn't have to pay for hotel Internet.
Why should I have to pay extra in my room rate if I don't use the Internet," he argued. "I don't watch pay per view movies in the hotel room either, should they also build those in to the room rate? What about breakfast? I tend to eat out because breakfast at the hotel has generally sat under a hot plate all morning. What about car parking? Not everyone at the hotel requires this. So why should all these extras be built in. User pays, I say!!!!!"
I happen to think Internet is different from breakfast or pay-per-view movies, especially in this day and age. But he's got a point.

Health & Medical Services >Dentists >
Lossef William DDS896 Manhattan Ave # 3, Brooklyn, NY | Directions
Monday-Friday 10am-8pm
Neighborhoods: Greenpoint
Dr. Bill is my choice for.... – .....many years. LOL He isn't that old but I have been going to him since he was a young and single guy who loved his spots. He still loves sports but now has a 13 year old son....and a wife of course. But, to get back to the reason for writing this, he is a dentist that works with you. What I mean by that is he takes the time to explain things to the person he is working on. He also has done some terrific things in helping me keep what teeth I have in my mouth and also done a great job filling in the spaces in my mouth where I have none not that I have many spaces but a few. I wouldn't go back to him if I didn't have 100% trust in his work. I recommend him to anyone that needs a Dentist. Dr. Bill, as we lovingly call him, is number one in my book.
Best Dentist in Greenpoint/Williamsburg – The entire staff is amazing. Going to the dentist is never a "pleasant" experience, but I must say it's always a positive experience. You NEVER wait. Everyone is beyond helpful and friendly and will go out of your way to make you feel comfortable.
Dr. Lossef is warm and friendly, knowledgable, honest, and never pushes for unnecessary work. His work is hands down the best...he is also my mom's dentist and she loves him. And she hates EVERYBODY.
The hygenist gave me a 5 star cleaning. I am super sensitive but I found her to be gentle.
Best Dentist in town – I cant say enough about Dr. Lossef and his staff. He is honest and that is so hard to come by with dentists. I have been going to him for almost two years and find him to be gentle and effiecient. Fillings stay in..bonding is solid.He never pushes for uneccessary work which i really appreciate. The hygensist is also super. Staff is the friendliest and I never ever have to wait.
Gentlest dentist ever – If you are someone that hates the dentist - COME HERE. I've never had a bad experience. veryyy gentle!! The staff is friendly & helpful so if you have questions or need reccomendations just ask. I've also NEVER had to wait to be seen- so you dont have to worry about sitting in the waiting room for a half hr like alot of places.
I would recommend Dr. Lossef to all my friends. He was very pleasant, explained what he was going to do and genuinely seemed to care about my concerns. I also liked the fact that he was actually available at the time my appointment was scheduled for and I didn't have to wait for a half hour or longer like some other places..
djames234 – gentle dentist ,thats how I would have to discribe Dr. Lossef .
He has been my dentist for the last 5 years and i am very satisfied with his work ,Dr losef and his staff are wonderful caring team, they always make me feel welcome , I highly recommend him to all my friends .
A great dentist in Brooklyn – I had gone to Dr. Lossef many years ago when he was an associate at another dental office. Now that he has his own practice he is still the most gentlest dentist I have ever gone to. He does not rush and he takes his time with each and every patient. Dr. Lossef always tells you exactly what dental work needs to be done and if cannot do it himself he will recommend someone he feels is most competent. Dr. Lossef makes sure that you are happy with all the work that he does. I highly recommend everyone to go see him

This wine is full of beautifully complex aromas of lime zest and tangerine. In the mouth, it has great citrus flavors and terrific acidity that makes it pair well with many kinds of foods.
The 2010 W. Wheeler Sauvignon Blanc was made in such small quantities that it was not submitted for awards or for review.
The lively fruit of this wine is its most remarkable feature. Drink younger to capture all of the racy acidity and zesty citrus notes. It will evolve over time (12-18 months) becoming richer in the mid-palate.
Just 908 cases made.
This wine was recently featured in The California Wine Club's wine of the month club.

-- shocking report out on the state of the UK's nationalize health care system.
Now at times of London announces shows Britain's hospitals discharge.
Thousands of patients in the new -- not every week.
In an attempt to free up beds experts have warned about bureaucratic rationing health care -- -- proof.
What should it tell us though about obamacare the impending government takeover of America's health care system joining us now Douglas told me.
-- action form and a former CBO director.
-- does it sounds really looming dooming -- we need beds -- people out in the middle of the night you actually thing that's gonna happen here in the United States.
There's a real risk of not a bad problem but of a real shortage of key treatments that the reality is that.
We have in the obamacare law -- -- the independent payment advisory board.
Its job will be to identify ways to save money in Medicare it can only do it over short periods like -- so there's no long range planning involved.
What's going to -- -- cut reimbursements and it'll cut the reimbursements for the newest most expensive but.
Most are promising therapies and what we'll see -- and that looks like.
Not enough beds -- our cases will be not enough medical innovation not enough access to care and less quality in the outcome.
-- this is like these so called death panels to that are out there right they're gonna put up this advisory board to cut and to your point we're talking about new technological advances in therapies and drugs and things like that in -- saying that's the first ago.
That we're increasingly seeing that.
The US spends a lot more medical care but we're getting value for some of that spending as well compared to Europe.
We see people have serious ailments such cancers and the like.
Survive longer -- higher quality lives and they do it because.
We have access to care be don't have access and I'm not have enough beds and we get high quoting medical science and we won't get that at the start cutting off payments.
But we have doctors that are cutting back on services and taking patients in its -- of what.
Is coming down the -- with Medicare is -- it.
Well it's what's coming down the -- in terms of cutting their reimbursements we've seen this movie many times.
We put in place in late ninety's a law that said we're not gonna pay the -- and Medicare too much.
When they start doing that they're gonna at the reimbursements cut by 23 and 25% this -- saying hey we're not gonna see Medicare beneficiaries.
That's the most basic form of rationing you may have Medicare but you can't see a doctor so.
We need to get this price fixing out of the system we need to get the notion that a bureaucratic board to make these decisions out of the system.
And we need to get into health care the same kinds of things that have been successful in the other 80% of the US economy.
You know -- called this the greatest -- in horse in modern memory as a result then I mean we're basically saying repeal repeal it and start over.
This is a disastrous bill it's disastrous on the medical science it's disastrous for the quality of care.
It we can't afford -- this is two trillion dollars of new spending at a time when.
You and I both know we don't we don't have that kind of money -- -- lead to greater federal -- a greater likelihood of a financial crisis.
And with 500 billion dollars in new taxes in two billion trillion dollars in new spending this is anti growth and we need to grow we need to get people into jobs.
That'll get them insurance and we'll give them access to care.
What's interesting is that you know with all these tax is we start hearing about this -- -- really nice in addition here for you.
So this notion of fair share taxing the rich.
I don't know how does this going to spur growth.
There's nothing about the Buffett tax that's going to cause growth.
There's nothing about the Buffett tax is gonna solve the deficit problem it's less than 110 of one penny for every dollar deficit we have this year.
And there's nothing about -- this going to fix our -- going to be another layer of bureaucracy.
On top over regular tax and Alternative Minimum Tax.
So you have to wonder if it doesn't solve any of those problems what is it really therefore and I think the answer has to politics.
You know that's -- minimum tax -- both -- created.
To tax the rich right -- that the rich paid is small amount of tax and now of course it's it's now mistrust on the middle class.
Gen re it's about as the -- acts of 1970 analogy everyone.
Faces -- who makes far less than -- millionaire that's for sure but in millionaires in the world can afford tax help and essentially not pay this Buffett tax at the end of the day so.
The minimal amount of revenue they expect to bring in will probably sliced in half.
It it brings in trivial amounts of money and it's basically a full employment rule four for tax lawyers so.
But it doesn't have a place in a serious discussion -- actual I think that's obvious.
-- I think that's consensus among the tax professionals.
It is time to go force comprehensive permanent pro growth tax reform.
Take out the subsidies that really aren't legitimate that do allow someone -- bring their taxes down below what they should pay but also.
-- -- racer to line everyone else let's get all that stuff out of this and get the rates down that's what the Bowles Simpson commission the president's own fiscal commission recommended.
And we need something like that to make the economy perform better.
How do you do that though without really abolishing the entire thing because somebody out there's gonna have -- lobbyists and the money to pay for this deductions at their constituents need.
Why -- continue to keep them on on but the reality.
As its business it's really hard and we had -- we've had a an income tax for nearly a hundred years -- and have the anniversary.
And we've had less than a handful of serious comprehensive reforms that tells you how hard it is but.
The stakes are too high right now.
For us to let that get in the way it is time for everybody to understand.
That the common good is served by having a better tax code it is something in the United States is over due to get in place.
It's near and dear to me because I have done taxes.
In the past in my brother -- is like it is a -- of -- -- the internal revenue -- -- become a book of favors any -- -- winners and losers so maybe you know waited for everyone to pay their fair share.
-- -- -- The book.
I I endorse that -- we need a much better tax code.
And we certainly have to restore americans' faith in the tax code -- this book the favors undercuts what used to -- America's got to which has been voluntarily paid taxes for government they -- -- we're losing that that's a big danger.
But yet that is how people get votes isn't it -- get political favors through the tax -- There's no question about that but I believe.
That and just as the old campaign logic of war always spend more and -- -- people by -- that ways it gets changed in 2010.
I think we're -- -- where politics when because it has to change because we have to grow.
Because we have to get the spending under control the politics are gonna look different in the future than they have in the past and tax -- of the placed at the start.
So repeal obamacare and -- the tax code if only that it were that easy -- It's it's easy on a blackboard is easy and -- discussion it's hard to get it through congress that was -- -- thank you for being with us sir thank you.

Origins News Round-up for December 6, 2013
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
The idea that the story we know is only the very beginning raises a new question in place of Feynman's objection that Christianity is provincial. Is it presumptuous to claim that in such a grand universe, possibly with intelligent life arising in many places, the redemption and transformation of the entire cosmos starts here, on our pale blue dot?
"For a few moments, it felt like our little church community was surrounded by glory. The wisdom of Christ in the hypothalamus was illumining the wisdom of Christ in the prophets and gospels."
What can a practicing scientist in the 21st century—even a "bench scientist" like me whose scientific forays are confined to a laboratory—glean from a 19th century wanderer like Thoreau?
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
As I read The Voyage, I often thought about Darwin's other famous work, The Origin of Species, and the delight that Darwin clearly took in the natural world. Writing about a tropical forest in Brazil, he found himself at a loss for words, "…it is not possible to give an adequate idea of the higher feelings of wonder, astonishment, and devotion, which fill and elevate the mind."
Considering my own stance on the satisfying harmony of science and faith, you might be surprised to find on my shelves nearly everything written by Richard Dawkins (including "The God Delusion") and my late friend Christopher Hitchens (including "God Is Not Great"). One must dig deeply into opposing points of view in order to know whether your own position remains defensible. Iron sharpens iron.
How do metaphors impact the dialogue between faith and science? We might start by asking: what are the framing metaphors at work in the current debates? Even using the word "dialogue" here suggests an implicit metaphor that frames my approach to the relationship between faith and science. Imagine substituting "dialogue" with "war;" that would conjure a completely different metaphorical framework.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
The language of a collapsing universe is related to the end of the old covenant and the coming of the new covenant as God's "new world order."
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Speaking in parables is indeed similar to an artist's craft. They create impressions, whole new worlds of meaning intended to turn old worlds on their heads.

Authorities in Chillicothe have issued a warrant for the man who's believed to have been responsible for last week's stabbing. Police Officer Bud Lytle says they're seeking 37-year-old Ruben Reeves, of Columbus, on a charge of felonious assault.
Officer Lytle said Reeves allegedly stabbed 29-year-old Joshua Thomas, of Chillicothe, several times in the abdomen following an argument about money at an East Second Street residence.
Reeves is believed to be in the Columbus area. He's described as a bald black male, who stands 5'8, weights 165 lbs, and has brown eyes.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to call Chillicothe Police at 773-1191 or Southern Ohio Crime Stoppers at 773-TIPS; however, Lytle says anyone who sees Reeves should not approach him as he has a history of violent crime.
