Pakistan: Now or Never?
Perspectives on Pakistan
from Afghan Journal:
Keeping India out of Afghanistan
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is in the United States for the first official state visit by any foreign leader since President Barack Obama took office this year. While the atmospherics are right, and the two leaders probably won't be looking as stilted as Obama and China's President Hu Jintao appeared to be during Obama's trip last week (for the Indians are rarely short on conversation), there is a sense of unease.
And much of it has to do with AFPAK - the war in Afghanistan and Pakistan which is very nearly at the top of Obama's foreign policy agenda and one that some fear may eventually consume the rest of his presidency. America's ally Pakistan worries about India's expanding assistance and links to Afghanistan, seeing it as part of a strategy to encircle it from the rear. Ordinarily, Pakistani noises wouldn't bother India as much, but for signs that the Obama administration has begun to adopt those concerns as its own in its desperate search for a solution, as Fareed Zakaria writes in Newsweek.
And that is producing a "perverse view" of the region, he says adding it was a bit strange that India was being criticised for its influence in Afghanistan. India is the hegemon in South Asia, with a GDP 100 times that of Afghanistan and it was only natural that as Afghanistan opened itself up following the ouster of the Taliban in 2001, its cuisine, movies and money would flow into the country. The whole criticism about India, Zakaria says, is a little bit like saying the United States has had growing influence in Mexico over the last few decades and should be penalised for it.
But what about Pakistan's concerns, a country that was dismembered in the last full-scale war with India in 1971 with the creation of Bangladesh. The last thing it would want is a hostile regime in Afghanistan on its western flank on top of the Indian army, the world's third largest, massed on the eastern front, not to mention the Islamist militants whom it once nurtured turning on the State itself.
Pakistan and Afghanistan: "the bad guys don't stay in their lanes"Given the debate about whether the United States should refocus its strategy in Afghanistan and Pakistan more narrowly on hunting down al Qaeda, it's worth looking at what happened immediately after 9/11 when it did precisely that. In a new book about his years fighting terrorism, former French investigating magistrate Jean-Louis Bruguiere casts fresh light on those early years after 9/11. At the time, he says, the Bush administration was so keen to get Pakistan's help in defeating al Qaeda that it was willing to turn a blind eye to Pakistani support for militant groups like the Lashkar-e-Taiba, nurtured by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency to fight India in Kashmir. Basing his information on testimony given by jailed Frenchman Willy Brigitte, who spent 2-1/2 months in a Lashkar training camp in 2001/2002, he writes that the Pakistan Army once ran those camps, with the apparent knowledge of the CIA. The instructors in the camp in Pakistan's Punjab province were soldiers on detachment, he says, and the army dropped supplies by helicopter. Brigitte's handler, he says, appeared to have been a senior army officer who was treated deferentially by other soldiers. CIA officers even inspected the camp four times, he writes, to make sure that Pakistan was keeping to a promise that only Pakistani fighters would be trained there. Foreigners like Brigitte were tipped off in advance and told to hide up in the hills to avoid being caught. Reluctant to destabilise Pakistan, then under former president Pervez Musharraf, the United States turned a blind eye to the training camps and poured money into the country. In return, Pakistan hunted down al Qaeda leaders — among them alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, captured in 2003. "For the Bush administration, the priority was al Qaeda," writes Bruguiere. "The Pakistan Army and the ISI would focus on this – external – objective, which would not destabilise the fragile political balance in Pakistan." Pakistan denies that it gave military support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and has banned the organisation. But India at the time accused western countries of double standards in tolerating Pakistani support for Kashmir-focused organisations while pushing it to tackle groups like al Qaeda which threatened Western interests. Diplomats say that attitude has since changed, particularly after bombings in London in 2005 highlighted the risks of "home-grown terrorism" in Britain linked to Kashmir-oriented militant groups based in Pakistan's Punjab province. Last year's attack on Mumbai, blamed on the Lashkar-e-Taiba, and more recently the arrest in Chicago of David Headley, linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba and accused of planning attacks in Denmark and India (pdf document), has underlined international concern about the threat posed by the group. But for Bruguiere, one of the major lessons was that Islamist militants can't be separated into "good guys and bad guys", since they were all inter-linked. "You should take into account, this is crucial, very, very important," Bruguiere told me in an interview. "Lashkar-e-Taiba is no longer a Pakistan movement with only a Kashmir political or military agenda. Lashkar-e-Taiba is a member of al Qaeda. Lashkar-e-Taiba has decided to expand the violence worldwide." Bruguiere said he became aware of the changing nature of international terrorism while investigating attacks in Paris in the mid-1990s by the Algerian Armed Islamic Group (GIA). These included an attempt to hijack a plane from Algiers to Paris in 1994 and crash it into the Eiffel Tower — a forerunner of the 9/11 attacks. The plane was diverted to Marseilles and stormed by French security forces.
This new style of international terrorism was quite unlike militant groups he had investigated in the past, with their pyramidal structures. "After 1994/1995, like viruses, all the groups have been spreading on a very large scale all over the world, in a horizontal way and even a random way," he said. "All the groups are scattered, very polymorphous and even mutant."
Gone were the political objectives which drove terrorism before, he writes, to be replaced with a nihilistic aim of spreading chaos in order to create the conditions for an Islamic caliphate. For the hijackers on the Algiers-Paris flight, their demands seemed almost incidental. "We realised we faced the language of hatred and a total determination to see it through."
from Global News Journal:
Afghanistan's protracted election sours the mood
An atmosphere of stale defensiveness has sunk over Kabul. The mood has been lowered by the protracted saga of the Afghan election count, almost two months on from the first round August 20 vote. It's a drama veering towards farce more often than post-modern play, as we wait endlessly for a result, that like Godot, does not want to come.
Winter has not yet arrived in Kabul, though the evenings are cold, quickly taking the heat of the sun out of the day. Afghan politicians are frustrated and twitchy, second-guessing the reasons for the U.N.-backed election watchdog's plodding. We are being solidly methodological to retain the confidence of all, says the Electoral Complaints Commission, as it examines thousands of dodgy votes. A thankless task, most likely. The ECC officials will be puzzling over whether a box of votes has been mass-endorsed for one candidate, and should not stand, or if the suspiciously similar ticks on the ballot paper are attributable to only one man in the village knowing how to write. Many of the rural voters will never have held a pen in their hand, argued one official. It is natural in such a tribal society for the village to establish a consensus on who to support. Do such ballot papers count? Remember Florida, and how 'hanging chads' and the U.S. Supreme Court gave George W. Bush the presidency over Al Gore? It's that kind of agony.
Afghanistan blames Pakistan for embassy bombing; India holds fire
Afghanistan has wasted little time in accusing Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy agency of being behind a bomb attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul on Thursday.
Asked by PBS news channel whether Kabul blamed Pakistan for the bombing, Afghan ambassador to the United States Said Jawad said: "Yes, we do. We are pointing the finger at the Pakistan intelligence agency, based on the evidence on the ground and similar attacks taking place in Afghanistan."
The Twittering classes on Obama's prize and Pakistan
(Updated with official reaction)
The decision to award the Nobel Peace Prize to President Barack Obama has opened up a field day for people on Twitter.
While many politicians around the world were still working out their reactions to the surprise announcement, Twitterers leapt in with instant analysis from Pakistan, India and around the world. Here are some of the more frequent retweets which caught my eye::
India, Pakistan and Afghanistan: the impossible triangle
A single paragraph in General Stanley McChrystal's leaked assessment of the war in Afghanistan has generated much interest, particularly in Pakistan.
"Indian political and economic influence is increasing in Afghanistan, including significant development efforts and financial investment," it says. "In addition the current Afghan government is perceived by Islamabad to be pro-Indian. While Indian activities largely benefit the Afghan people, increasing Indian influence in Afghanistan is likely to exacerbate regional tensions and encourage Pakistani counter-measures in Afghanistan or India."
The missile shield and the "grand bargain" on Afghanistan and Pakistan
Back in 2008, even before Barack Obama was elected, Washington pundits were urging him to adopt a new regional approach to Afghanistan and Pakistan involving Russia, India, China, Saudi Arabia and even Iran. The basic argument was that more troops alone would not solve the problems, and that the new U.S administration needed to subsume other foreign policy goals to the interests of winning a regional consensus on stabilising Afghanistan.
It would be simplistic to suggest that the Obama administration's decision to cancel plans to build a missile-shield in eastern Europe was motivated purely — or even primarily — by a need to seek Russian help in Afghanistan. But it certainly serves as a powerful reminder about how far that need to seek a "grand bargain" on Afghanistan may be reshaping and influencing policy decisions around the world.
Afghanistan, still the new Vietnam ?
Try hard as you can, there doesn't seem to be any escaping from comparing America's eight-year war in Afghanistan to the one it fought in Vietnam.
Every now and then, either when there is a fresh setback or a key moment in Afghanistan's turbulent history, like last week when it went to the polls to choose a president, the debate flares anew.
Taking the fight to Pakistan from Afghanistan
Michael Cohen and Parag Khanna have become the latest to argue, in an article in Foreign Policy, that the real focus of President Barack Obama's battle against the Taliban and al Qaeda should be Pakistan rather than Afghanistan.
"Preventing a return of al Qaeda to Afghanistan is important, but a long, state-building mission in one of the world's most underdeveloped countries is the costliest and least effective way to accomplish that goal," they write.
Pakistan and India; breaking the logjam
President Barack Obama chose his words carefully when asked in an interview with Dawn earlier this week why the United States has been silent on Kashmir in recent months:
"I don't think that we've been silent on the fact that India is a great friend of the United States and Pakistan is a great friend of the United States, and it always grieves us to see friends fighting. And we can't dictate to Pakistan or India how they should resolve their differences, but we know that both countries would prosper if those differences are resolved," the newspaper quoted him as saying.

Ram Sahgal , ET Bureau
MUMBAI: Small and mid-cap construction stocks have outperformed benchmark indices over the past month but wealth and fund managers attribute the rally to sentiment rather than to any change in their fundamentals. Retail investors, they warned, should not be carried away by the high returns generated by some of these stocks. Stocks such as Gammon India , Pratibha Industries , Patel Engineering , KNR Constructions , IRB Infrastructure and Jaypee Infratec India have rallied between 5% and 23% in the month to Tuesday against low single-digit returns by the NSE's CNX Midcap and BSE's small and mid-cap indices.

This is the fifth operational road project of Gammon Infrastructure Projects, which is project development arm of Gammon India.
Capital Goods: Thin margin, falling orders may take wind out of sales
April 10, 2012
ET Bureau
The fourth quarter is usually considered the strongest for the engineering and capital goods industry as it is towards the end of the year that companies push hard to meet revenue and order booking targets for the entire year. It is therefore hardly surprising to see companies in the sector booking almost 40% of their annual businesses in the fourth quarter alone. This competence is expected to be visible in the fourth quarter of FY12 too, as reflected in the provisional financials released by state-run Bhel earlier this week.

August 12, 2011
Devina Sengupta & Writankar Mukherjee , ET Bureau
BANGALORE/KOLKATA: The global economy may well be on rough terrain, but India Inc isn't pressing the panic button yet. Prudence and caution, yes, but there's no ban yet on a fresh intake of employees, say firms across sectors. "The war for talent will continue, and only those industries that are directly linked with the US markets may be cautious," says Anurag Aman, principal consultant for Mercer. Those at the bottom of the pyramid could be hurt if the situation worsens.

A bench of Justice D K Jain and Justice H L Dattu dismissed Gammon's plea and said the company was not entitled to customs duty exemption on import of concrete batching plant from Germany. Earlier, the Custom Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal had also rejected Gammon's plea and held that it would have to pay the custom duty.
Gammon to bring in strategic investor for European offshore subsidiary
June 17, 2011
ET Bureau
BANGALORE: Mumbai-based, Infrastructure firm Gammon India is looking to bring in strategic investors in its European offshore subsidiary , Gammon Holding BV , to expand its power business. Gammon India acquired three Italian companies back in June 2008, for which it had raised about Euro 100 mn at 2.25-2.5% over the prevailing Libor rate. This has added cost of servicing the debt on the company's books since then. "In 2010, the subsidiaries posted a loss of 9m euros due to slow order awards and delays in providing bank guarantees for projects.

AMZN Technical Update: Breaking Down The Recovery Rally
Amazon's stock rose almost 5 percent into its January 30 earnings report. Considering that this followed a week of sideways chop, it's fair to say that the expectations were suddenly elevated heading into earnings… making Amazon's (AMZN) stock price vulnerable to a miss. And this is precisely what happened, sending Amazon's stock price plunging after hours, en route to a post-earnings slide that saw as much as 16 percent trimmed off

District 9 duo Neill Blomkamp and Sharlto Copley are reuniting for new sci-fi action movie Elysium.The pair made waves last year with their political spin on typical alien movies, generating one of the most talked about films of 2009 in District 9.So it's good to hear that they're sticking to similar sci-flick terrain as their first gig.

Environmental issues are probably the most pressing and far-reaching problems faced by developing nations, in part because they impact every facet of life. Increasingly there is a demand from ethnolinguistic communities to address environmental concerns within or as a natural outreach of our language and education work and goals. There are also calls for greater multi-disciplinary approaches, particularly from funders, and to further integrate wider developmental issues into our programs. Join us as we explore how we can best meet these needs.

LEAD Asia Training Workshop on Funding (29 March - 03 April 2014)
LEAD CoP Event: Funding language, education and development activities (25 - 28 March 2014)
LEAD CoP Event: Building organisational relationships (11-13 November 2013)
LEAD CoP Event: Identity-Based Community Development (05-07 March 2013)
LEAD CoP Event: Community Development' and 'Community Ownership' (13-15 November 2012)
LEAD CoP Event: Working together with local organisations for LEAD impact (06-08 February 2012)
Question/ What is the 'LEAD Community of Practice'?
Answer/ It may be better to ask 'WHO ARE the community of practice?'! In short it is a 'community' of individuals, teams, organisations and networks all grappling with questions around language, education and development. The focus of the community is working with marginalised communities, often marginalised because of their unique culture and/or language, and it is facilitated by LEAD Asia, a unit of SIL International in Asia.
Q/ I don't work in Asia, am I still able to attend LEAD CoP events?
A/ Yes! The LEAD CoP is open to anyone interested in the intersecting issues of language, education and development. The majority of attendees will be located and/or working within Asia and so there will naturally be a focus on the unique challenges associated with this region. However, the more broad the range of participants the richer the discussions, and as such we warmly welcome attendees from elsewhere.
Q/ Is there a registration fee?
A/ No. It is free to attend but you are responsible for your own accommodation, travel and meal costs (except for lunches during the event, which will will be provided at the venue for all participants).
Q/ Do you have funds to help me attend LEAD CoP events?
A/ Unfortunately, since we do not have external funding for events, LEAD Asia does not have any funds to help participants attend.
Q/ Evening meals are NOT included with the event - are there places to eat near the event venue?
A/ Yes, there are lots of good places to eat very close by offering a range of cuisine to suit all budgets.
Q/ How do I register?
A/ A link to a registration form will be made available a few months before each event. Keep an eye on the event information (by clicking on the links above) and register to join the LEAD list here. Please remember to complete one form for each person planning to attend.

A fantastic debut from Haven Theatre. Ryan Lanning is a phenomenal Hedwig, both hilarious and sensitive with excellent vocals. Lauren Paris sings the hell out of Yitzhak and the band is TIGHT! A great rock score, excellent production values -- get there before it closes!

Libraries celebrate Preservation Week @ your library
During the week of April 21-27, libraries will celebrate Preservation Week @ your library.
It is a time for libraries to highlight what all of us can do to preserve our personal and shared collections.
The week is highlighted by events and activities, as library patrons receive valuable tips on how to handle everything from home movies to old letters and newspapers.
Libraries, museums, archives and other organizations work every day to preserve cultural history. Over 4.8 billion artifacts are held in public trust by more than 30,000 archives, historical societies, libraries, museums, scientific research collections and archaeological repositories in the United States.
Why is preservation important? Some 2.6 billion items are not protected by an emergency plan such as natural disasters, and 1.3 billion of these items are at risk of being lost. If billions of items are at risk at our heritage institutions, than plausibly trillions of items held by the general public are at risk.
During Preservation Week libraries all over the country present events, activities, and resources that highlight what we can do, individually and together, to preserve our personal and shared collections.
Here are some resources to help you preserve your family treasures and learn what to when disaster strikes. There's also an activity guide filled with fun projects to get the whole family involved.
For Preservation Week 2013, the American Library Association (ALA) has created a new section on the Preservation @your Library website focusing on issues that military personnel, their families and their friends encounter when they want to save, document or record their family's military experience.
Librarians who serve this community were asked for information and suggestions based on their interaction with their patrons. Their wonderful feedback has made this new webpage,For Military Families, possible (http://atyourlibrary.org/passiton/military-families). The page features articles and resources. New, print-ready handouts, "Quick Preservation Tips: for Military Families" and "Quick Preservation Tips: Take the First Step" can be passed on to library patrons for easy reference.
This information is just the tip of the iceberg, and this effort is the beginning of a much longer conversation. To share personal stories that illustrate the importance of saving and preserving meaningful keepsakes for future family members, please share them on thePreservation Week Facebook page. Your stories and examples can encourage military families to take the time to preserve these important memories.
There are additional resources recommended to help librarians who serve military families and veterans on the Preservation Week website.
Steve Berry, New York Times best-selling author, is the first national spokesperson for Preservation Week. Berry started as spokesperson in January 2012 with an appearance at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Dallas, where he gave the keynote presentation at the Preservation Week 2012 Kick Off, sponsored by the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS). He also commented on his role and the Preservation Week initiative in a YouTube video. We are thrilled that Steve Berry has agreed to continue as Preservation Week Spokesperson for 2013.
Berry is the author of 10 novels, including his most recent book, The Columbus Affair (Ballantine, May 2012), featuring as protagonist Tom Sagan, a disgraced Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist. His next book, The King's Deception, will be released in June 2013.
Berry's works have been translated into 40 languages with more than 12 million books in print in 51 countries worldwide. Other titles include The Emperor's Tomb, The Paris Vendetta, The Alexandria Link and The Venetian Betrayal.
A devoted student of history, Berry and his wife, Elizabeth, founded History Matters, a nonprofit organization dedicated to aiding the preservation of the fragile reminders of our past. Since then, they have traveled the world raising much-needed funds for a wide range of historic preservation projects.
In a recent Wall Street Journal interview (Nov. 2, 2011), Mr. Berry notes, "What are we losing when that [on being told of the rapid loss of our historical record] happens? We're losing windows to the past, thoughts to the past and ideas to the past, and that really affected me."
A native of Georgia, Steve Berry graduated from the Walter F. George School of Law at Mercer University. You can learn more about Steve Berry and History Matters at steveberry.org.
As National Spokesperson, Berry appears in print and digital public service announcements (PSAs) promoting Preservation Week. Other promotional materials include a sample op-ed, proclamation, press release and scripts for use in radio ads. All tools are available at www.ala.org/preservationweek.
Preservation Week is also part of the ALA @yourlibrary campaign. Visit thepreservation@yourlibrary page at www.atyourlibrary/passiton.
Preservation Week @ your library is an initiative, the Association for Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), a division of the American Library Association (ALA).

Southern food recs in Asheville, NC
My wife and I will be visiting Asheville for a weekend from Baltimore and I was hoping to beef up the traditional Southern part of our restaurant itinerary. So far, we're tentatively planning on (based in large part on reading this board):
dinners at Limones and Gabrielle's,
lunches at Salsa and 12 Bones,
breakfast at Tupelo Honey.
Of those, though only 12 Bones and Tupelo Honey seem to have a Southern emphasis to the food. Any recommendations for something I can switch out for a more Southern place (without dropping too far in terms of the food)? The only other criteria I can think of is we'd like to have at least one dinner be a nice night out, which is the spot Gabrielle's is currently holding.
I personally would skip Salsa's (although I am probably in the minority) I just don;t get the hype. You could check out Corner Kitchen in the Biltmore Village for lunch. Nice place with a southern twist (they have a website).
I would add the early girl--southern local food emphasis. And I agree with the previous poster--Salsa's isn't what it used to be, the owner has opened a tapas bar(but I have forgotten the name it starts with a Z) that is especially good and has a neat atmosphere--that would be good for a nice night out and it is right over by Malaprops in downtown.
re: maisimai
that's not quite right. the tapas restaurant is called zambra. it used to be owned by hector diaz (same person who owns salsa). he sold zambra a couple of years ago; food's still good, but not what it once was.
his current restos are salsa, modesto and chorizo (i think that's what the new mexican one is). i straddle the fence on salsa; the food can be very good, but sometimes suffers from having too many ingredients thrown at it, and being rather one-dimensional (usually sweet with no contrast).
i haven't tried modesto yet, but reviews have been all over the map, and the menu has been tweaked at least twice; he's still working this one out, i think.
chorizo, if it's open, has not been open long, and i've heard nothing about it.
re: mark
Yeah I also agree...Tupelo Honey is always worth the wait (45min for breakfast) without being pretenious. Affordable and the best grits around. Haven't been to Zambras but I have been a die hard regular at Salsa's for at least ten years. Always happy with the menu and the service.
The best steak I have ever eaten was at Limones, and you can't miss the Habenero Margaritas.
re: annalillia
I love food and all. But I just cannot imagine standing in line for 45 minutes for a meal. Do they take reservations? I mean I hear the place is tops so I want to give it a shot.
re: mark
chorizo is the best mix between delicious latin fare, excellent price and a wonderful environment. as hector refines his delivery in both modesto and chorizo its a great time to visit frequently. he is also quite responsive to suggestions... especially when showing your face frequently.
hands down, hector is one of the smartest restaurant businessmen and most creative chef in asheville.. we RAVE about him when people ask about where to eat in asheville. chorizo and modesto are one and two on my list of restaurants in asheville depending on the occassion.
one of the best parts of eating at any of his restaurants is his focus on local foods. truly one of the biggest players in the field to fork movement!
re: bmccall17
I have personally found Mr. Diaz's establishments to be terribly inconsistent..to the point where dining there is definitely taking a chance.
re: bmccall17
I think there are a lot of local restaurants who strongly feature locally grown. This is the "thing to do" in Asheville...from Sun Burst trout at Lobster Trap to green at Twig and cheeses at Gabrielle's. If Chorizo is featuring locally grown he's not unique.
re: pslamp32
I have reservations at your fine establishment this weekend, and am really looking forward to it. It will be our first time in Asheville.
Your plans look pretty good to me. It's awfully hard to get good "southern" food in a restaurant. Tupelo Honey ought to be about as good as any along those lines.
Personally, I like Zambra a lot better than Limones, but I seem to be alone in not being impressed w/ Limones.
Don't miss Salsa. It kills me to hear people called Salsa "hyped". It makes it sound like some new trendy place. Salsa has become what it is through word of mouth from an absolute hole-in-the-wall with no tables 15 years ago.
I ate at Salsa last Wednesday and enjoyed it as always. Those entrees can be overwhelming, both in quantity and the variety of flavor combinations. But that's what I expect, that's why I go, and that's why I hope to eat there 3-4 times per month when I become a local this summer. I also had good service.
I realize that Salsa's is not a new and trendy place. I have lived here forever. i just do not like going to eat at an establishment having to hope that they are "having a good day". About half the time it is great, half not so.
Thanks for all the great info. I realize "Southern" is kind of a non-specific request, so I appreciate everyone's advice. If a restaurant that's Southern is a stretch, are there specific dishes / specialities in the same vein that I should be sure to try at the restaurants that have been recommended?
To follow up on a few of the specific comments: I saw the good reviews Zambra has, but since small plates are pretty well represented in Baltimore, wanted to venture out in a different direction while we're on vacation. With all the debate on Salsa, I'm eager to try it out and see for myself (though obviously we might not make every place on our list and lunch is likely to be the meal that's hard to plan for).
Breakfast - Tupelo Honey
Lunch or Dinner - Corner Kitchen
Dinner - Limones , Fig or Gabrielle's (though not even in the same class)
Gabrielle's is in a whole other league than Limones or Fig.
Interesting ones to try while in town:
Salsa(dinner), Tomato (West Asheville)(lunch or Dinner)- El Salvadorean food,
Where is Fig? For some reason, I thought it was near Biltmore Village but couldn't find it last week. I went to Rezaz instead and had a good meal and great service at the bar on the "fancy" side.
The Hunter's Lodge in north Asheville (Merriman Ave) does more traditional southern than Tupelo Honey or Early Girl. One of the few places who still fry their chicken in cast iron skillets rather than deep fryers. And it's always encouraging to see folks topping and tailing fresh green beans. This is pretty unapologetic, straight-ahead southern cooking, nothing fey, shee-shee, nouvelle, post-modern, reinterpreted, or rim of anything or anywhere about it. At its best in the summer when they can get good tomatoes and corn.
Fig is in Biltmore Village, well, at least on the outskirts. If you go through the Village, passing La Paz on your right you will drive for less than about 1/10th of a mile and there is a new-ish structure on the left right before a road that bears to the left. This is the building. There are condos in the top and retail shops and Fig in the bottom. As far as Hunter's Lodge...it is very, very normal food. I compare it to home cooking when you don't feel like cooking at home.
If you make a drive to Tryon N.C. you can have an absolutely uncompromised Southern dinner at the Caro-Mi. The ham is out of this world. So are the chicken livers, biscuits - small and pale, exactly like my very southern mother in law's, and served with an ambrosiale concoction of fried apples. Also on the menu, exceptional fried chicken, and an absolutely mysterious cabbage dish that straddles the definition of kraut and slaw. They also have a trout that is perfect everytime. If you order the ham it comes with grits that are the perfect consistency. Frank Stitt and the Southern Food Alliance could not improve on anything there. It is sublime in its very simple, gracious, consistent Carolina way. Everything is homestyle, the setting is gorgeous and the service gracious. If you truly want to eat southern food, you should eat at Caro Mi early in your trip, because chances are you will want to go again before you leave. It is an easy drive out of Asheville towards South Carolina. They are closed Mon-Wed. You can google them for more info. Do not miss it!!!
Thanks everyone! I've copied down the addresses to your suggestions and will try to hit as many as I can.
do not miss 12 bones - but remember it is only open for lunch on the weekdays (closed on weekends, no dinner). pulled pork plate and ribs are out of this world and the side dishes are phenomenal - esp the collard greens and cheese grits. don't miss tupelo honey either - but be prepared to wait. we were there on saturday at 2pm and still had to wait about 15-20 minutes.
re: miss piggy
i'm with miss piggy when it comes to 12 bones- can't beat the pulled pork with three ribs and the collards and grits? no one comes close to 'em!!
I got back from my trip to Asheville and wanted to thank you all again for your tips and provide a short trip report (limited by my spotty memory - especially of the dishes I didn't order). In the end, we went to Limones, Tupelo Honey, Gabrielle's, and Early Girl Eatery. We didn't make it back to town for lunch, so we missed Salsa and 12 Bones.
Tupelo Honey and Early Girl were both breakfasts and big successes. I had the sweet potato pancakes at Tupelo Honey and the black-eyed peacakes (from the specials menu) at Early Girl. The sweet potato pancakes were fantastic and along with some biscuits and gravy filled me up well past lunch. The peacakes were something I had never had and were delicious.
Limones was dinner on our first night in town and provided a great way to get the weekend started. I had a berry / cayenne margarita to start, which was nearly perfect (my only (slight) critique is that the cayenne taste built up as you drank it, so by the end it dominated the taste of the drink). The menu was genuinely interesting and even where there were slight misses in the execution of dishes, they were easily out-weighed by the creativity of the dishes. A roasted tomato soup starter particularly stood out - flavorful and rich, without being heavy.
Gabrielle's was the only modest disappointment. The food was quite good, but more competent than interesting (the desserts were a particular disappointment). I had the rockfish was perfectly cooked and a high point of the meal. The service, however, was a step or two below what I would expect at that price level (especially since there were only four tables occupied in the restaurant). In particular, we got a poor reaction from the server when we didn't order wine with the meal and dishes were dropped off without any description.
re: ark
I'm a Boston hound visiting Asheville this week. Have been looking forward to Tupelo Honey and Early Girl but its Monday and both were closed for dinner yesterday and today. Went to Salsa's last night and really enjoyed it. Had a pork on plantain dish. Pork was exceptional. My wife thought that the flavors of her dish blended together after a while.
Today since the places on our list were closed, we went to Laughing Seed, a vegetarian restaurant. I'm a carnivore and was dubious about this but my meal was very good. My wife and shared shitake-corn cakes and a foccacia-gorgazola melt. Salad came with delicious dressings. Still looking forward to some Southern cuisine, thanks for the Hunters Lodge tip. As for barbeque, we stopped at Bridges Barbeque Lodge in Shelby on the way to Asheville and that's probably as good as it gets.
re: chuck s
Still in Asheville. After eating in the above, very hip, "everyone is from somewhere else" spots, we took the advice of a couple of posters and went to Hunter's Lodge for some Southern cuisine. It's in a 1920's log cabin which hasen't changed, including the furniture and table clothes. I felt like I was in a 1940's movie. Everyone was from central casting. I expected to see John Garfield and Lana Turner. The biscuits and sides of fried green tomatoes, fried okra, cole slaw, and cucumber salad, were very good. My wife's broiled trout was also very good. The pan fried chicken which I was looking forward to and which was described on their website as including a breast, thigh, wing and drumstick, was only a boneless fried breast. The breading and frying were fine but the lack of bones resulted in a dry and less flavorful piece of chicken. All in all, a good experience. The all you can eat pulled pork and fried shrimp plate on another table looked very good. Maybe next time.
re: chuck s
we were there recently as well. Everything is a bit bland and boring to me and the unseasoned cornmeal type breading I find annoying and unsatisfying. I hate to use salt but found I had to use it liberally here to even get some hint of flavor. Crabcakes were very bread-y, collards were tasty, and bread was good. I'll stick w/ my earlier description "home cooking (well, not my home) when you don't feel like cooking at home"
re: catsailor
On a recent trip to Asheville, my friends and I were very impressed with Sunny Point. The bacon and sausage were perhaps the very best I've ever had, although admittedly I'm not a major bacon or sausage connoisseur (but I would be if more of it tasted like this). Yum! Pancakes were very good, too. One member of our party was a vegan, and he enjoyed Sunny Point a lot too, and they brought him good soymilk for his coffee. The only problem was that the food took a while to come out, but we can't really complain since we were a large party and the place was very busy -- it was a Sunday morning and very crowded.
re: catsailor
I agree. Sunnypoint is a very nice place to eat. Their biscuits and sausage is quite sublime. Staff is friendly too. Try to beat the rush on Saturdays though because it stays quite packed on Saturdays :)
I ate their almost every morning when I lived in West Asheville.
ouch...you really should say something to Gabrielle's about your experience. We go there for our special occasions and once we had a fish that was just ok - not under/overcooked but just a bit bland and we said as much and instantly the manager and the chef came out to apologize and the item and more was swiftly removed from our bill - though that wasn't our intent.
I'd pass on Gabrielle's. It seems to be more miss than hit and the service needs help - my folks were there a few weeks ago and their waiter was so inattentive that Dad inquired as to whether he had a pulse or not.
Sun Point (West Asheville) has nice breakfasts too. I hit that often since it's a short walk from home.
12 Bones is a must do. I've eaten there several dozen times and the food is always outstanding and the staff are always up.
Salsa is more hit than miss, the last time I was in there Hector was there and was in a foul mood, he tore one of the staff a new one right in front of a full house, which startled my daughter (dude, take it out back). The food is good though if that type is your style.
No one mentions the Rabbit Motel? :(
Oh, pass on Moose Cafe. When I was working in the hotel biz their line was "all veggies fresh from the farmer's market". The beans I had were canned and the carrots tasted like they had spent several months soaking in water. The chicken was ok though, I thought I had a better meal at Cracker Barrel. :P
re: rick in asheville
that behavior, is unfortunately, not rare.
Went to Limones Thurs, 6/19/08. Good menu. Spoke to waiter and was informed seafood fresh, straight from Charleston. Opened with Civiche; fresh, timed right and really good. For the mains I got Horseradish-Potato crusted Seabass, wife got assorted seafoods. Both really good, perfectly cooked and obviously fresh. To point- the scallops were fresh and a lesson in perfect scallop searing. The Meyer Lemon cooked shrimp were delish and were cooked spot on. They also has a crab tamal that was totally unique and very flavorful. My seabass was tasty and cooked perfectly. Good desert menu also. Wines unique and good. Waiter knowledgeable and very helpful.
What I found to place them above most (Charleston included) was the freshness and the ability to cook seafood perfectly.
Not outstanding traits you would normally expect in the NC mountains.
re: byteme55
Thanks for the Limones review...it is not surprising to me that you got good seafood cooked perfectly in Asheville. Besides the Grove Park Inn, Biltmore Estate and Gabrielle's we have many fine restaurants with exec chefs/owners who have graduated from CIA and Johnson Wales as well as other fine culinary institutions. If you had made the trip to say Marion or Hickory or Murphy...your chances of having a similar meal would be slim to none.
re: leahinsc
We live approx. midway bet. Chas and Asheville. For years when we wanted a special meal / weekend, we head to Chas....but Chas seems to be resting on their laurels (and unjustifyably pricey). We have been getting much more interesting, creative, and better prepped meals in Ashev.. The culinary skills gathering in the city are evident. The infrastructure of locally grown and prepared foods (especially the meat) is unique and is providing an experience that cannot be easily duplicated elsewhere.
Also Ashev. breweries and music scene = way cool. The city has a great vibe and everyone is so friendly. We are often in WNC to visit family and leaving a day early to hit Ashev. makes the trip much more fun.
I would say give Modesto's a shot. I hear persons saying the food is iffy, but these reviews are from back in 2006-2007. For the money the food is good with a little taste of Europe in Asheville. Which btw, most in Asheville aren't accustomed to. I've travelled extensively and you get what you pay for. Expect 8-24 USD pp
Lobster Trap is a good place to eat, 18hr lobster tails, so fresh isn't a problem. Plus free entertainment, best place I've found recently. Expect 35-60 USD pp, excluding drinks. If your looking for good country food for 10 USD try Moose's this place has done nothing but grow grow grow. Chinese? Asiana Grand Buffet 15-25 USD pp, or Oriental Pavillion 10-45 USD pp. I hope this helps.
PS Need help for Europe? Oh and happy to help.
re: zandorit
wow, once again ... interesting to see how tastes differ. but it is also dangerous to make judgements on the palates of locals and imply that we have not travelled and therefore don't know what is good. Having travelled to Greece, Paris, Hungary, Austria, Germany and Italy within the past 3 years I think I've experienced "a little taste of Europe"
Have tried Modesto in 2008 and been underwhelmed w/ food and service. I think Lobster Trap is ok but can be overpriced. Some dishes are great and others just mediocre. They excel at their bar though and it is a great casual spot to have simple things like oysters on the 1/2 shell or shrimp. Moose's is very basic and if you like country food and biscuits in a plentiful supply in a shoddy place (why, if they're doing so well can't they fix carpeting and clean bathrooms?and make the place smell better as you walk in?) then Moose cafe is the place for you. Asiana Grand Buffet(s) just cater to the glutton in many of us...nothing great but lots of it.
re: leahinsc
i have to agree w/ leah on Moose cafe. The biscuits are good, but not good enough to make me eat there, it's just out-of-can meat and three IMHO.
Modesto, though, is a conundrum. I've had some FANTASTIC items there, and a few seriously bad ones. I'm usually one to roll the dice when the chance of getting something brilliant presents itself, but I'm finding it harder and harder to get lucky there.
Cats & Dawgs is a good place to eat. You can expect quick service and nice music over the PA with no squabble. It's not the Ritz, but a great place for a quick lunch :)
Pineapple Jacks on Haywood Rd is a good place to eat. Their wraps are divine and they share a wireless signal with friends. Chad has remodeled PJ's recently to make it a bit wider and the help there including Sabrina are warm and come by your table frequently to see what you may need.
I give Pineapple Jacks a two thumbs up.....nice work Chad & Crew. If you stop in tell them Dragons Of Darkness sent you///
West End Bakery? A cool place to be in West Asheville. Be early because I've seen WEB packed full with lines quite a lot. And do not forget the doggie snacks while your there.
Nice place and surprised Asheville has it.
That makes me think I need a West End snacklet.....chow chow heads.
Dragons Of Darkness
Short Street Cakes in West Asheville....Haywood Rd but you cross over 240 and keep driving for about another mile, bear left and as the road goes downhill towards Asheville it's on your LEFT. GREAT cupcakes...natural and organic ingredients. Get little bitty ones for $1 to taste and then splurge on bigger ones...
re: leahinsc
I was just across from that place today. My family has the heating cooling place across the road.
I like pies, do they make Custard Pies?

WRIGHTWOOD, Calif. (AP) - The discovery of a plague-infected squirrel has prompted the closure of three campgrounds in Southern California's Angeles National Forest.
The Los Angeles Daily News reports Broken Blade, Twisted Arrow and Pima Loops of the Table Mountain campgrounds were closed Wednesday. The camps are near Wrightwood and about 50 miles northeast of Los Angeles.
A ground squirrel trapped there on July 16 tested positive this week for bubonic plague. The disease is spread through flea bites and can be fatal if untreated.
The campgrounds will be closed for at least seven days as officials find squirrel burrows and dust them to control fleas.

February 2011 Book of the Month.
Straub, who once collaborated with Stephen King on a couple of now classic novels, has established himself as the master of contemporary literary horror. A thread of subtle unease travels through all his books, many of whom are connected by minor characters, events or themes. A secret ritual on a campus meadow, organised by a charismatic guru, leaves it marks on all its participants as we follow their lives over the following decades and the way evil has taken hold of them forever. One of them tries to write a book to understand what actually happened and the windows of the unknown open.
Comparison: Robert Jackson Bennett, Dean Koontz, Neil GaimanFor more see our Author 'Like for Like' recommendation system

Here's what one of our members thinks of her bagA big thank you for the two Lovereading bags I ordered, which have arrived safely. I love mine and will use it with pride. The bags are lovely quality, sturdy and support a good cause in the Rewrap initiative; I think they make the perfect accessory for any book lover. The second bag was a gift for my sister and she says she will take it to her next book group meeting to help spread the Lovereading word. Once again, many thanks. Emily Wright
It is the 1960s and the charismatic and cunning Spenser Mallon is a campus guru, attracting the devotion and demanding sexual favours of his young acolytes. After he invites his most fervent followers to attend a secret ritual in a local meadow, the only thing that remains is a gruesomely dismembered body - and the shattered souls of all who were present. Years later, one man attempts to understand what happened to his wife and his friends by writing a book about this horrible night, and it's through this process that they begin to examine the unspeakable events that have bound them in ways they cannot fathom, but that have haunted every one of them throughout their lives. As each of the old friends tries to come to grips with the darkness of the past, they find themselves face to face with the evil triggered so many years earlier...
Peter Straub was born and educated in Wisconsin, and lived in Dublin and London before settling in New York. Author of a string of bestselling novels, he is the recipient of five BRAM STOKER AWARDS and the two-times winner of the International HORROR GUILD AWARD.

Rotary Machine Snow Goose Decoy
Rotary Machine Snow Goose Decoy
Do not buy another snow goose decoy until you have one of these rotary machines in your spread!
We started using one of these rotary machine during the filming of our snow goose hunting movie "SnoMen". As you can see by watching the product video above, they are simply deadly!
Snow geese almost attack these machines when they come in. If there was anything close to a "robo duck" of snow goose hunting. This is it!
Click below to watch a HUGE flock of snows literally land on this machine:
Each machine has two arms that extend out over 8ft and can be adjusted for height with a turn of a screw. Included with each rotary machine is a remote that has a speed control and a on/off switch. All you need to make this machine run is a small 12 volt motorcycle battery.
Each rotary machine is $229.00. You also need two snow goose flyers at a price of $24.95 each to put on the end of each pole.
Add one to your spread and start killing more geese by clicking Add to Cart above!

Victoria, named in honour of Queen Victoria, is Western Canada's oldest city. It is also known as the City of Gardens. Established in 1843 as a Hudson Bay Company trading post, this intimate, sophisticated seaside locale is the vacation capital of Canada and the premiere tourist spot in the Pacific Northwest. Situated on the southern tip of Vancouver Island, Victoria's climate is sunny and temperate, the environment pristine, and the lifestyle peaceful.
Victoria's unique character is deeply rooted in its 150-year history, a history full of colourful people and fascinating tales. The city's British colonial heritage is still much in evidence, but contemporary Victoria has a distinctly Pacific Northwest flavour.
Victoria, the capital city of British Columbia, includes the municipalities of Oak Bay, Saanich, View Royal and Esquimalt. Passenger and vehicle ferries that sail between Victoria, Seattle, Bellingham and Port Angeles dock in Victoria's Inner Harbour along with float planes and small boats. Moorage can be found near the Canada Customs wharf. At night, visit the Inner Harbour to see the nearby Legislative Buildings lit up with thousands of golden lights.
If you like specialty shops, explore Government Street. For antiquarians, try Antique Row on Fort Street. And don't forget Chinatown: Fan Tan Alley, the narrowest street in Canada, has interesting and unusual shops. There's also Market Square, a two-level complex with an inner courtyard that features over 40 shops and restaurants.
Things to do:
A major whale migration occurs in mid- winter when approximately 20,000 Pacific grey whales leave the Baja Peninsula and journey north to Alaska, passing Vancouver Island en route. During the peak of migration in March and April, the whales pass close to shore. You can observe them from the Wickaninnish visitor centre at Pacific Rim National Park. Several pods spend the summer months in Clayoquot Sound, and you can see them via daily boat tours to Hot Springs Cove.
