'Congress had damaged national economy': Jaitley Nov 23, 4:07 pm
New Delhi, Nov. 23 (ANI): Finance Minister Arun Jaitley alleged that the Congress had damaged the national economy while in power and wants to pursue the same destructive direction while in opposition.
US watching Kashmir election process, no major complaints Nov 22, 5:05 pm
Washington, Nov. 22 (ANI): American officials are keenly watching the political drama unfolding in Jammu and Kashmir, where Prime Minister Narendra Modi's party is running to claim the coveted prize of winning India's only Muslim-majority state. They are aware that if the BJP successfully completes its most ambitious and audacious project or comes close to the prize, the signal that it is the new national party would be unmistakable. US diplomats have learnt a quick lesson after the national elections where their analysis was a little behind the curve. But Kashmir also arouses worry in Washington -- it is seen as a "flash point" between India and Pakistan, an ever-simmering flame that can spark a confrontation. Pakistani visitors never fail to whip up exactly those sentiments among Americans with exaggerated accounts of alleged Indian army excesses and the desire among Kashmiris for "azadi." It so happens that Gen. Raheel Sharif, Pakistan's army chief, is currently on a six-day visit to the US, meeting officials at the Pentagon and the State Department. He has blamed India for the current spate of LOC firings, saying that his attention is being forcibly diverted from fighting terrorists on his eastern border. But blaming India for Pakistan's self-inflicted wounds doesn't sell as well in Washington as it used to. The constant misinformation campaign on Kashmir - best exemplified by the unmasking of ISI-fronted Kashmiri American Council and ISI-funded Ghulam Nabi Fai in 2011 - has taken a heavy toll on the credibility of Pakistani claims. US officials can see that the BJP is looming large on Kashmir this time with an effective strategy of making inroads over the past two years. But they are worried about BJP's stated desire to "debate," if not abolish Article 370, which gives the state a special status. Even though BJP leaders are trying hard to keep the 370 issue away from headlines this campaign season, the pot has been stirred. The first phase of voting for the 87-member State Assembly begins Nov. 25 and political dynamics are fluid to pin down. Only two things are sure: that the BJP won't join the Congress in a coalition and that the two main regional rivals, the National Conference and the PDP won't join each other. All other combinations are possible, especially with smaller parties, many of which were created recently, playing an important. They will be crucial in BJP's attempt to get the magic number of 44 since no matter how hard it tries; its appeal among Muslims in the valley is low. US analysts say that parties like the Kashmir Development Front, which has several former bureaucrats and academics, may be appealing to voters. KDF was created by Farooq Renzu Shah, who left the Congress Party saying he was disillusioned. Renzu, a bureaucrat who helped rebuild damaged shrines and big bridges when he was in government, is popular among the people. US officials say they see no major problems in the execution of the elections and the theme of development in Kashmir is just what the doctor ordered. They don't see the streets erupting if the BJP forms the government. The meeting between Modi and former separatist leader, Sajjad Lone, was seen as an especially interesting development. Vijay Sazawal, a Kashmir expert who is consulted widely by Washington opinion makers, said the mood in the valley and elsewhere has noticeably changed, mostly in favor of the BJP. He cited two factors - the apology by the Indian army for the shooting of a teenager and a young man on Nov. 3 and the sentencing by a military court of five soldiers, including two officers, to life imprisonment for the staged killing of three Kashmiri civilians in the Machil sector in 2010. The rare developments have been welcomed by Kashmiris whose wounds are deep and feelings raw. "It has helped greatly and the apology came after direct orders of the PMO not to fudge the issue. The people are happy that the army has been punished. People tell me that none of Modi's posters has been torn or defaced in the valley," says Sazawal, who regularly talks to people on the ground. He marveled at the strategic insights of BJP managers - Amit Shah and Ram Madhav - in making the right moves and saying the right things. He cited BJP's state unit vice-president, Ramesh Arora's declaration that Sufi Islam would prosper under BJP. This is clever messaging to those Muslims who are tired of terrorism and want the peaceful version of their religion to return home. The US government, struggling to contain the extreme strains of Islam as exemplified by ISIS, can hardly quarrel with promotion of Sufi Islam. Pakistan, the other player in the "dispute" doesn't raise confidence levels when it comes to dealing with or "managing" Wahabism, which it and Saudis have injected into India.

They're Glad They Came to Faith
As we approach the end of the school year, we caught up with some of our freshmen and transfer students to hear why they are glad they chose Faith.
Whitney Shafer: I am glad I chose Faith because it is preparing me for my future ministry. I am planning to go into the medical field next year, and Faith is building a good foundation right now to help me best minister to others. I know that the things I have learned here, especially through the counseling classes I have taken, will be beneficial to me no matter where else the Lord leads me in my life. Even just one year at Faith can apply to any area of life, no matter what field of study you want to pursue.
Caleb Eloe: God has taught me so much my first year at Faith! I have learned daily habits not only to use while I'm at Faith but also for the rest of my life. It is truly an experience every college student should go through before being launched into the world! I would not trade the decision to come to Faith for anything!
Zach Peterson: I am glad I transferred to Faith because of its incredible spiritual environment. The college does everything it can to promote spiritual growth in the lives of the students. We are surrounded by people of all ages that are willing not only to have fun but also to help you grow in your walk with God.
Reagan Kurfman: I am glad I came to Faith because it's a great place to learn. The professors are very helpful and want you to grow in wisdom and in all areas of your spiritual life. There is definitely a difference between Faith and secular schools. It's not a huge campus here and I like that. You can really get to know people well.
Abby Vertican: I loved the idea of a Christian college away from home so I could learn some independence, and so far God has taught me a lot more than I expected. Faith's heart for ministry is what drew me here. I love the smaller campus that keeps the students closer and more connected. Soccer season was the best! I loved my team, the great memories we made, and friendships all built on Christ! I enjoy being independent in a safe environment where God is changing and making me to be more like Him.

About 65 per cent of the State's investment comes from private sector
Union Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee said here on Sunday that West Bengal "is emerging as the new investment destination" adding that it "rekindles optimism about the future of the State".
Citing figures, Mr. Mukherjee said: "As of December 2011, the State had about 900 live investment projects worth Rs.6.11 lakh crore. It has a share of 4.4 per cent of the total investment announced by the government and private sector in India."
Speaking at a conference organised by the Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry, the Minister pointed out that a majority of this investment had come from the private sector.
"About 65 percent of the total investment in West Bengal comes from the private sector. It is a clear indicator that the industrialists and prospective investors are looking at the State with hope and expectation," he said.
'Mamata matching expectations'
Mr. Mukherjee said he was pleased that the "the new government, under the leadership of Mamata Banerjee, is responding to these new aspirations and expectations of the people."
The State has attracted new investment worth nearly Rs.58,000 crore. The manufacturing sector has got the major share at about 36.5 per cent, followed by electricity (29.4 per cent), service sector (18.9 per cent), mining (8.6 per cent) and real estate (6.1 per cent), he said.
Emphasising the importance of developing infrastructure for the growth of the economy, Mr. Mukherjee reiterated that the sector would require investment worth $ 1 trillion or Rs.50 lakh crore during the 12 Plan period. He pointed out that West Bengal had an edge over other States in the power sector.
"The power sector in West Bengal is one of the best in the country. While the normal power deficit is less than two percent, the peak-hour power deficit is minimal in the State and this could be utilised as it is an important infrastructural input," he said.
Reserve Bank of India Deputy Governor Subir Gokarn said the State's economic growth has lagged behind India's GDP growth over the last 10 years.
"The State should understand and promote competitive sectors like textiles, leather products and food products," he said.
State Industries Minister Partha Chatterjee, who was also present at the event, reiterated the debt burden that the State is facing and requested that the Centre intervene.
Mr. Chatterjee has also written a second letter to the Centre asking for a rollback on the tax on gold proposed in the Union Budget, which he handed over to Mr. Mukherjee during the day.

Tied for second in Malaysia on the PGA Tour last week, and he finished fourth at this event a year ago. He'sthe top players are over the age of 26. Talking about Sergio. Justin Rose Adam Scott Henrik Stenson . Someone's gotta win. The young kids can't win every single event. And you if you look at it at the guys who
Stat Man: Key numbers for WGC-HSBC
GolfChannel.com writer Will Gray breaks down the field by the numbers at the 2014 WGC-HSBC Champions.playoffs. Our final stat is 30. Since this event became an official PGA Tour event back in 2010, the lowest ranked player to hoist the trophy Was Francesco Molinari who was ranked number 30 when he won this event four years ago. Now even though some big names, say Tiger, Phil and Rory are all missing out this week. There's still a good chance that trend is gonna continue, we have 21 of the top 30 players teeing it up this week in Shanghai. That's a field that's headlined by world number two, Adam Scott , who has cracked the top 25 in each of his three appearances in China. All right. That's gonna do it for this
Fantasy: Who to start and sit at WGC-HSBC
Ryan Lavner joins Will Gray to help make those tough fantasy decisions for the 2014 WGC-HSBC Champions. Play alongside our experts by logging onto www.golfchannel.com/fantasythis week. A no-brainer start of the week in group one is Justin Rose . Top 5 finishes in his last two World-wide starts. That includes last week, a T4 finish at the BMW Master's on the European Tour. This guy was the man of the match at the Rider Cup, and he also finished 5th at last year's HSPC. This is a guy you really want to have in your. In your lineup this week. Definitely think that Rose is gonna have a good week, so consistent. But in group one, I'm gonna be starting Sergio Garcia . He comes off a second place finish at the CIMB classic last week in Malvasia. He was also fourth here a year ago. He's really playing some good golf in 2014 overall. Another guy I have an eye on in group two, Martin Kaymer. He won this event in 2011, and has been in the top ten each of the last two years since. He likes his golf in China. Nice value in group two with Martin Kaymer. I like that pick a lot. All right. Opposite side of the coin, who is the guy you're absolutely sitting this week, keeping him on your bench. In group three I want nothing to do with Ian Poulter . Listen, he won in 2012. He backed it up with a runner up last year. But since then he only has one top ten finish on the PGA Tour. That came in Memphis, not exactly a star studded field. He spent too much time writing that autobiography and getting in Twitter fights and not paying enough attention to his game and it suffered as a result. So many red flags when it comes to Ian Poulter . He only has one top 25 finish since July. Avoid at all costs. Another guy in group three that I'm staying away from is Luke Donald . You may be tempted, he's near the top of that group three, one of the guys that you see first, but he
On the Clock: What should be Derek Sprague's first task?
Ryan Lavner and Will Gray get 40 seconds 'On the Clock' to debate what Derek Sprague's first order of business should be as the interim President of the PGA of America.right. To go back to PGA championships, to go back to the Ryder Cup , and at least be noted as an organization's past president. Cruel and unusual punishment , what they did to this guy. Definitely. This is overkill. This has got to be like Gerald Ford pardoning Richard Nixon. When the dust settles, the cooler heads prevail,. They need to take a step back and give him back some of those rights. Absolutely. I like the direction you're heading with that. I would also do a couple PSA's on women's right to ensure the public that the PGA of America is doing everything they can to help women and grow the game of golf. Also, Derrick Sprig, just don't **** up this task force. They're probably gonna meet in December for the first time. Just ensure that another Tom Watson does not take this Ryder Cup captaincy. Over in 2016. That's what the public really wants the PJ of America to do, do win the Ryder Cup . Yeah, one job every two years. Win the Ryder Cup . Just do it well and no one's really gonna complain. absolutely. All right, for Will, I'm Ryan, keep it locked right here
On the Clock: Grading Bishop's presidency
Ryan Lavner and Will Gray get 40 seconds 'On the Clock' to debate what grade Ted Bishop's presidency deserves.Allen Wronowski, who was the last president. He can walk through any golf tournament , and no one even knows who he is or that he's served in that capacity. But, in a two year term he spent the last year hitching his wagon to Tom Watson . That failed miserably. Didn't work out. Now we have the social media melt down and that is just a not good way to exit. I would give him a little bit higher grade. I'd actually go with a B minus. People are tending to forget now. He stood up for the anchors of the world. He rebuilt the bridge between the PGA Tour and the PGA of America, before this little spat on Twitter. He actually did have a couple women friendly initiatives. So he
Stat Man: Players make 10,000 mile journey
GolfChannel.com writer Will Gray takes you inside the numbers to preview the 2014 CIMB Classic.things started. Our first stat this week is 91st, which is where Ryan Moore finished last season in strokes and putting on the PGA Tour . Not exactly something to ride home about, but Moore definitely had the flag stick working in Malaysia, last year. He finished second at the CIMB Classic, in strokes gained putting a year ago. In route to that playoff victory over Gary Woodman, for his third career PGA Tour win. Now, Moore returns to Malaysia, looking to defend that title, but he does so on a bit of a cold streak. He hasn't finished better than 40th, since the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, back in August. Our next stat is 21, which is the number of players that made it the 10,000 mile journey. From Georgia to Malaysia for this week's event following last week's McGladrey classic. That group of road weary travelers includes Brendon V. Young who lost the three man playoff Sunday at Sea Island and is still in search of that first career PGA tour win. But the Zimbabwean does have a bit of momentum. He now has. Ten straight rounds of 70 or better to start the new season on the PGA. He has a total of 25 top 10 finishes to his credit, not to mention a few extra frequent flier miles on that account. Our next stat is 18 under, which is what Lee Westwood shot at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club back in April. It was at the Maybank Malaysia open at Westwood cruised to his seven shot win, his first victory anywhere in the world in nearly two years. And now he returns to Malaysia, looking for more. Remember, this week the CIMB is back at Kulim Golf and Country Club, so he's looking to win. On the same course, in the same calendar year. Two different events on two different tours. Not exactly an everyday opportunity even someone as well traveled as Lee Westwood . A final stat this week is 69th. At number 69 in the world ranking Anirban Lahiri entered as the highest rank regular Asian core player teeing it up this week at the CINB classic. Laheri has two victories already this year on the Asian tour including a one shot win last week at the Open, and the indian also tied for 35th at this event. A year ago finishing it off with a four under 68 in the final round, so don't be surprised if he makes a run to contend come Sunday afternoon. Remember, this is an event that features several Asian Tour players and usually one or two will sneak into contention over the weekend. All right, that's gonna do it for this edition
Fantasy: Perfect Foursome for the CIMB Classic
Ryan Lavner joins Will Gray to select their perfect foursomes for the 2014 CIMB Classic. Play alongside our experts by logging onto www.golfchannel.com/fantasyvalue for Group 3. In Group 4, going with the grizzled veteran, Robert Allenby . Hoo, hoo. Slim pickings this week in Group 4, but he's got two made cuts and three tries, including a top ten finish at the frys.com open and a group will be looking for anything. Robert Allenby is at least giving you a little something. You saw a paycheck out of Group 4. Well out of Group 3, I'm looking at Brendon de Jonge. He was gonna play off last week at the McGladrey Classic, but he's one of the game's best ball strikers. Tee to green, he's gonna be so solid this week. I think that's going to continue from the momentum he had last week, and group four, I agree slim pickings, so I'm going to go with Prom Meesaway. Remember the name Lav, finished second last week on the Asian tour , just got lost out at the Enterbon La Herie, I think he's going to play well down in Malaysia. You are digging
Stat Man: 2014 Frys.com Open preview
GolfChannel.com writer Will Gray goes inside the numbers to preview the 2014 Frys.com Open.to help preview the first event of the 14/15 season on the PGA tour , the Frys.com Open down in Napa, California. Let's get things started off first up this week is 24, which is the length. In days of the entire PGE tour off season. Hope you didn't blink cause you might have missed it. Consider the fact that if you have ordered on of those new iPhone sixes the moment Billy Horshall held his winning putt on the, at the tour championship you're probably still waiting for that shiny new possibly bendable device. Ready or not, though, this starts a run of seven regular season events across four countries. One that will conclude next month in Mexico. Get your passports ready. Our next stat is 188 which is the number of events it took Jimmy Walker. To enter the winner's circle on the PGA tour , but since then he's made a few return trips. Walker won this event last year at Cordevalle for his first career victory, but he added two more during the 2014 season, one that saw him finish seventh in the final FedEx Cup points race. He now returns to California to defend the PGA Tour title for the first time. Fresh off a pretty succesful Ryder Cup debut, one in which he earned two and a half points at Gleneagles. Our next event is $1.29 million. This event is only in it's eighth year. Mike Weir is actually the person who's name is atop the www.frys.com all time money list. Weir won here in 2007 and he also
Fantasy: 'Risk or Reward' at McGladrey Classic
Ryan Lavner joins Will Gray to play 'Risk or Reward' for the 2014 McGladrey Classic. Play alongside our experts by logging onto www.golfchannel.com/fantasyat group one, who is someone you have some question marks about? Zach Johnson is a little too risky for my liking. Look, he doesn't have a top ten in four tries at Sea Island. He hasn't played since the Ryder cups . You don't know if rust. Is going to be a little bit of a factor, and quite frankly, I just think there
Stat Man: Important numbers for Las Vegas

In "Rosewater," Maziar (Gael Garcia Bernal) wakes up to some shadowy figures in his bedroom. They're Iranian investigators and they sift through his personal items. Soon after, Maziar is hauled away, and director Jon Stewart gives some context.
It's July 2009, Maziar flies to his home country to cover the Iranian election for Newsweek. As he walks the streets, Stewart uses storefronts and buildings as a palette for images and footage of Maziar's sister Maryam (Golshifteh Farahani) and his father Akbar (Haluk Bilginer), who both served time in Iranian prisons.
Maziar chases pre-election stories and does an interview with a satirical, political show (in real life, it was "The Daily Show"). He befriends cabbie Davood (Dimitri Leonidas) who shows him the people's choice for a new leader.
When said choice loses, the people of Iran revolt. Maziar films a shooting by the government's hand. He sends it to his journalism buds, and we're up to speed on the shadowy figures and the whole arrest thing.
In prison, specialist Rosewater (Kim Bodnia) spends forever with Maziar, and Stewart shows this in a montage of interrogation. Clips of Rosewater at different locations in the cell, and varied levels of light shining through a window mark the passage of time. I was thankful I didn't have to sit through the ultra-bad torture, which Stewart shows in quick hits.
"You must not just take his blood. You must take his hope" are Rosewater's orders, but I never really felt like this film gave me the hard-nosed despair this captive must've felt. Think "Shawshank Redemption" or "Hunger," but I don't think a heart-rocking jailbird tale was Stewart's intention with "Rosewater" — a little to its detriment.
I could've used a focused look at Maziar's insanity in solitary confinement. He hallucinates talking to his deceased father. He fantasizes about slitting his wrist, but there was little else to illustrate his hopelessness.
And that's no fault of Gael Garcia Bernal, who's starred in "The Motorcycle Diaries," "Amores Perros" and "The Science of Sleep." He can bring the pain through tears, and oh, what a debonair smile, but I think what was lacking here was the screenplay.
Directorially, Stewart did make some sweet choices. It was like his "Rosewater" aimed to show an Iran that isn't portrayed in the media, and at that, I think he succeeded.
He shows Iranian men and women out in droves to vote. He zooms in on voters verifying ballots with their fingerprints. In another scene, Davood is praying on his knees, as Maziar sifts through his phone a couple of feet away. Stewart goes from mid-shot to wide to show they're on the side of the highway.
A couple of technical things this reviewer wasn't into: shaky, almost-'80s looking shots of the street they're driving past and a scene flooded with hashtags. He also mixes real footage with his own, and the transition between the two was bumpy.
On the plus side, there's some perfectly executed humor among the dark. In one scene, Rosewater demands Maziar tell his wife to stop talking to the media. He throws him around the cell. Rosewater's all up in his face and says "Call and tell her to stop talking sh— …. and you have to dial 9 to get out."
I can read Maziar's book "Then They Came for Me" for the despair and suspense. For Stewart's retelling, he may have been right on the mark making a film with respect, responsibility and grace for this journalist's story. And it was like he was making an amends for his time anchoring a political satire and, potentially, for any perceived role his show played in Maziar's arrest.
While "Rosewater" was a bit diluted for my taste, it was sweet seeing Stewart's debut as a director, but this one may be better suited for the small screen.

- European AmbianceLynNapDined on 11/3/2014Never disappoints. Tucked away from the noise of 41, Alexander's reminds me of European bistros, dining under the stars, twinkling lights in the trees. Gourmet choices and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mid town favoriteOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014We particularly enjoy the outside as the tables are too close together in side and it is noisy, plus I can take my dog outside. It was cool , but we took sweaters and with the heaters we were fine. I would like to see more Italian Chianti Classicos on the wine list.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mr FoodiediningdivaDined on 11/1/2014Everything we ordered was great. The quantity of cerviche was overly small however, so wouldn't order it again, but the fried calamari was outstanding.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Our friends were right!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/1/2014Alexander's was recommended to us on Friday night and we couldn't wait to try it . We were very lucky to get in and were very, very pleased with the food, as they were. As a party of 4 we all had various dishes and each of us thought our meal was delicious. We had the lobster bisque and butternut squash soups as our starters. Our main dish choices were the scallops, tenderloin with peppercorn or blue cheese and the macadamian nut crusted grouper. All were fantastic! We will be sharing this hidden gem with more friends this season.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Taste and quality sensationCaseysVIPDined on 10/31/2014One of our very favorite restaurants in Naples for lunch. The freshness and quality of the ingredients can be counted on. The menu would appeal to anyone enjoying fine cuisine. The prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and service.Special Features:
- Best Restaurant in SW FloridaOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 10/29/2014We look forward to Alexander's every trip. Everything is fabulous from the ambiance, to the service, wine list and food. The best snapper I have ever had!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice setting for a business lunch4u2no2Dined on 10/29/2014Tasty food and nice atmosphere - all for a reasonable price. My only complaint was that the food service was a little slow considering the small number of guests at the restaurant. I will definitely go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BillDined on 10/28/2014I have been a customer for a number of years and the food, service always exceptional. The menu is varied and quite appealing.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- ConsistentFoodieVIPDined on 10/25/2014Very good menu for persons w/celiac. Friendly for sharing plates.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistencyeat2muchVIPDined on 10/24/2014The ambience when outdoor dining is available is quaint and romantic. A little off the beaten path makes it quiet and "conversation friendly". The chef continues to provide good taste with creative presentations. Service is usually very good, but this trip was somewhat less attentive than normal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Badly in need of a remodelMeateaterDined on 10/18/2014Food here was mostly good making it even more sad that the service and ambiance are reminiscent of a funeral home. If you don't have a pacemaker, you may not make it through dinner here
- ALEXANDERSEATSOUTDined on 10/18/2014WE ENJOYED THE FOOD AS ALWAYS BUT THIS VIST WAS MARED BY THE POOR SERVICE. OUR WAITER WAS FINE BUT THE KITCHEN ONLY HAD TWO CHIEFS FOR 140 DINER NIGHT AND IT TOOK A VERY LONG TIME TO GET OUR DINNERS. NO ONE CAME TO APPOLOGIZE OR OFFER A DRINK OR APPITIZER--INDEED THE MANAGEMENT DID NOT ACKNOWLEDGE THEIR POOR SERVICE AT ALL. WE ARE DISAPPOINTED ENOUGH TO TAKE IT OFF OUR LIST.Special Features:
- lunch specialAuntieADined on 10/14/2014was shrimp primevera....large vegetables should have been cut up, shrimp was over cooked....entire dish was disappointing.Special Features:
- Hidden GemIsavanteDined on 10/11/2014This restaurant is tucked away in a small business area. It is a real gem as far as ambiance and cuisine.Special Features:
- Great Food, Great ServiceSrCitizenDined on 10/11/2014Alexander's always produces excellent food and renders very professional and attentive service. The menu is classic, and every dish I have had is excellent. We dined off the early dining menu (which changes weekly) on Saturday. While many early dining menus are pedestrian (and uninviting), I had cioppino which was flavored as well as any I can recall. The other choices also offered a flair in terms of sauce or offering. And, Jon provided an excellent level of service. Alexander's reconfirmed it position as one of my very favorite Naples restaurants for both lunch and dinner.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 10/10/2014The food was excellent, as was the service. We ate in doors and it was comfortable and quiet--conducive to visiting.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- litlejolittlejoDined on 10/7/2014I ordered veal medallions and the arrived way thicker than I thought -- and very tough -- did not enjoy my dinner -- but everyone in our party did. It was much too dark for my husband (he is slightly vision impaired) so we probably would book inside next time. But we are not rushing back....Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Open of 2014/15 season!BAMADined on 10/1/2014The service and food was wonderful. Full of locals that know were to eat and to get special service. The chef loves what he does and it shows in his food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- My Favorite RestaurantSSBurmasteDined on 9/25/2014Alexander's has been my favorite restaurant for many years. They have a prix fixe menu that is perfect for me. This was their Fall re-opening after closing for the Summer.Special Features:
- The following 384 reviews are from the Alexander's reviews archive.
- Restaurant was closedChris62Dined on 5/31/2014Bad surprise on May 31st: on their home page, it was stated that Alexander's is open until end of May and therefore I booked a table and got a confirmation that the reservation was OK. However, when we arrived at the Restaurant, it was closed and and an information said that they are closed for the summer, re-opening in September. Why did they not switch off the online reservation system?????
- Will try againmjcNJDined on 5/24/2014Unfortunately we did not know it was their last night before closing for the season. They had a closing menu which did not have many of their usual dishes. Since it was our first time there and heard such good reviews I will give it another try in season. Food was very good but wine selection was limited and the first bottle they gave us was not good and too warm. Service was just ok and the AC was not working properly, very uncomfortable sitting in the dining room.Special Features:
- jrosVIPDined on 5/23/2014Food was great as was our wonderful server, Scott.Special Features:
- foodfinderVIPDined on 5/21/2014We had delicious veal medallions and lamb chops with wonderful bottle of wine!! LOVE Alexander's and eating at their bar. We will miss them as they close from June-August. See them again for sure in September!!Special Features:
- Hidden Treasurefood4usDined on 5/15/2014Alexander's has been in the same location for years. If having dinner outside, remember it is cooler as the sun sets. The food is great, attitude of staff tremendous and I always have a good experience. Local people are aware of the restaurant but it is hidden behind some buildings so don't be surprised if you have a bit of difficulty finding it.Special Features:
- Hidden Gemmrpz1VIPDined on 5/13/2014Always great food and presentation. We take new friends and clients there, a quiet hidden gem that feels like home.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2007Dined on 5/10/2014Very unimaginative menu. Food was marginally acceptable. Outside venue was nice, but we were seated inside and the decor was very dated and drab. Would not return.
- Bravo!!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014The food quality is excellent--presentation is lovely--service is great-- ambiance is delightful. Wonderful variety in both lunch and dinner. Could not ask for anything more!I would recommend this to a friend.

It was great to find a restaurant where you can carry on a conversation without having to shout across the table. The food was fresh and the size of the portions were perfect. The wonderful menu made it very difficult to choose what to order and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. Can't wait to return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb!DebbieDined on 5/7/2014We spent a delightful evening at Alexander's, eating outside in the garden setting. With the help of our wonderful server John, we ordered at our table, the scallops and salmon. Everyone raved about their meals. Perfect flavor and portion size.Special Features:

"...well, Ms Jax (it is Ms/Mrs/Miss. right?), with this one post u have implied that a certain poster/POV is sexist, anti-gay, racist and lord knows what else. why?..."<quoted text>
well, Ms Jax (it is Ms/Mrs/Miss. right?), with this one post u have implied that a certain poster/POV is sexist, anti-gay, racist and lord knows what else. why? simply because that person supports a stricter interpretation of the Constitution? by extension, are you saying that, UN-interpretated, the Constitution IS all of those things, too?
EQUALITY is the cornerstone of the American belief system. yes, it has taken several years AND AMENDMENTS to get us there (here). why throw it all away for the sake of expediancy?
if we disagree about certain words as they are written, why not AMEND the Const to reflect our modern, consensus-driven, super-majority, States approved version?
I have YET to read one poster such as yourself even suggest such a move. why? you no longer believe in the proscribed way to make the Constitution LIVE? a simple, often divisive, mercurial majority is good enough for you? even if that 'majority' is phony or is 51-49?
would you have EVERYTHING decided by mere Popular Opinion Polls? with an error factor of +/- 4 pts!
when your side touts majority votes, you do realize that rarely more than 55-60% of ALL ELIGIABLE VOTERS PARTICIPATE, right? how do you square THAT fact with democratic, majority rule?
you can't.... so you make posts like the one I am responding to. you make posts and divisive accusations. but, so do the pols you support.
and, IT HAS BEEN WORKING.
Well higgans.
It's Mr. if you really need to know and I didn't imply anything.
I said it outright.
That particular poster is racist, sexist, homophobic and one of the nastiest human beings that I have ever encountered online.
He was banned just two days ago for violating TOS and came back with a new profile just to start it all over again.
Several of his posts last night were so far out of line that they were taken down by the mods this morning.
Now that you're up to date, all of that is old news.
I'm looking forward not back and I didn't read the rest of your post so I can't comment on whatever you might have said.
Have a nice day.

Walmart Loves SolarCity
SolarCity (NASDAQ: SCTY) up 5% on New Solar Deal with Walmart (NYSE: WMT)
by Jeff Siegel
Friday, November 21, 2014
SolarCity (NASDAQ: SCTY) investors are a bit giddy this morning.
The company is enjoying a nice bump right now after it was announced that Walmart (NYSE: WMT) has hired the company to install new solar projects at Walmart facilities in up to 36 different states over the next four years.
SCTY has actually been working with Walmart since 2010, so it's not particularly surprising that Walmart's next round of solar installations is being carried out through SolarCity.

Will Sky Solar Crush it?

Friday, November 21, 2014
China's downstream solar sector -- that is, distribution and wholesaling, physical installation, and project development-- has been seeing an increase in activity over the past couple of years.
With a glut of low-cost solar panels at home, and anti-dumping tariff disputes overseas, Solar companies began to seriously investigate their downstream options in 2012.
So far it's looking like a wise move for China's biggest solar companies.
Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL) for example, expects to build 400-500 ...

How to Invest in Local Businesses

Tuesday, November 18, 2014
The great recession pounded the life out of small business lending.
Big banks went into high-risk protection mode, and small businesses that would have qualified for a loan in 2006 found themselves unable to secure funds just two years later.
Between June 2008 and 2011, overall bank lending dropped by 9 percent, and within that, small business lending dropped by 18 percent.
The Fed cracked down on banks for making those risky mortgage loans, and lending standards rose across the board. Big ...

John Harrigan: Lost outdoors? Not me, just temporarily misplaced
OK, a flashback here from my Clarksville Pond days living with Rudy and Joan Shatney. This is where I more or less grew up.
And so off I went with four clients and Rudy's father, Arnold, a man with a lot of years on his feet, into the depths of Labrador - not the Canadian province, but the northern New Hampshire swamp. Well, all right, it's marked on the top of maps as a brook surrounded by firm ground, but believe me, most of it's a swamp.
At that time, I knew the Clarksville-Stewartstown territory like the back of my hand. Wait - the back of my hand now has assorted scars and broken fingers. But so does the land.
There was this place off the main bridge over Deadwater. My memory and instincts said to take the road to the old Raymond Ricker place, which would have been right. But we didn't, and took a left. Blame it on overgrown vegetation, many new tracks on the land and decaying slush on the mind (mine).
Somewhere, just over a ridge or two, beyond the Great Beyond, was home.
