Enjoy lunch at the Nether Abbey Monday to Friday 20% off! Click here to see our Christmas brochure.
The Nether Abbey Hotel started life as a grand seaside house at the turn of the 19th century. As with many buildings of this era, each room has its own character with high ceilings on the first floor and coombes and fireplaces in most second-floor rooms - the original servants quarters. However, one thing that all twelve rooms and bathrooms have in common is that they have all been renovated to an exceptionally high standard.
No detail has been overlooked. Most of the fixtures and furniture were not only made specifically for us but are in fact one-off designs, including the beautiful crystal light-shades. and the hand-woven woollen throws.
Each room comes with a flat screen plasma TV with access to 85 free view channels, and if you need to keep in touch - WiFi is available throughout the hotel!
All of our bathrooms are fitted out with "Grohe" fittings and furnished with beautiful limestone. Re-plumbing the hotel as part of the renovations means that mains pressure is available throughout with masses of piping hot water. Our recent inspection by VisitScotland rated the bedrooms as being of an exceptionally high standard.
We look forward to welcoming you to the new look Nether Abbey Hotel.
At the Nether Abbey Hotel, situated in the heart of the Edinburgh 'Golf Coast', we are ready to help you with your golfing break. From organising your rounds to providing your own locker for your clubs, to drying facilities for those not-so-nice-weather days!

Romance born out of running in the sarson ke khet and chandni nights is passe. The intense passion of Yash Chopra romances, the promise of love spanning across generations and its expression through prose and poetry is long gone.
What has remained, are the chiffon sarees, the rain dances and the romantic medleys. Pure romance is now redefined as romcoms and the complexities of relationship and emotions are packaged in a slapstick humour style. Does Gen-X lack the depth of understanding such romances (as Mughal-E-Azam, Silsila, DDLJ) or are the filmmakers just playing it safe? This week, Bollywood Big Story debates Does Bollywood Hate Love Stories? Tune in this Sat, 18th Feb at 12:30pm only on zoOm - India's No.1 Bollywood channel.
Genelia D'Souza
Audiences come to the theater for a good laugh and a fun time, leaving their stresses behind. Maybe that's the reason why filmmakers don't want to burden them with heavy emotions and hardcore romantic films.
Cinema is a reflection of the society. Audience might feel that the intense love stories of the 50s and 60s are outdated today. Youngsters will say aisa kaun karta hai aaj kal? This generation doesn't commit as 'intensely' as people used to.
Short-term relationships are an urban trend. This Facebook, Twitter generation is losing sensitivity. For them, relationships are all about 'fun'.
Imtiaz Ali
Passion and romance will remain the same, the depiction might change.

Back, in business
My apologies to anyone who noticed this anti-blog went down a few days ago. Without getting tedious about causation, let me say that we are now up again, on a more expensive server, after heroic electronic reconstructive surgery by my webmaster, also known as my Wee Tiny Boy. Particular apologies to the authors of a few Comments that were lost in the carnage. Perhaps you know who you are. My own latest mutterings were partially backed-up, and I will resume strewing them before you tomorrow.
In response to overwhelming popular demand (at least three people had suggested it), a PayPal button has been installed, which may be reached through the "Pay!" link atop this page. This is a strange and frightening innovation. But not half so strange nor frightening as the Twitter account my Wee Tiny Boy has opened on my behalf, and through which he has instructed me to tweet the happy news, whenever I upload a new post. Or perhaps, whenever I am feeling mischievous. If the Pope can do it, I suppose it is acceptable for other Catholics. We have less staff than the Pope, however, up here in the High Doganate, so the thing must wait until I've figured how it works.
All of which suggests I must be singing for my supper. Well, you know how it is in this world.

Great Performances
Paul Taylor Dance Company In ParisSeries Website »
Episode Guide »
Paul Taylor is the last living member of the pantheon that created America's indigenous art of modern dance. At an age when most artists' best work is behind them, Taylor continues to win acclaim for the vibrancy, relevance and power of his recent dances as well as his classics. Recorded during the Taylor Company's 2012 performances at the Theatre National de Chaillot in Paris, GREAT PERFORMANCES presents two of Taylor's enduring masterworks. Brandenburgs, first performed in 1988 to music from Bach's Brandenburg concertos #3 and # 6; and his 2008 ballet Beloved Renegade set to music of Francis Poulenc. Set to Poulenc's "Gloria," Beloved Renegade is inspired by the life and work of poet Walt Whitman, and depicts the experiences of an artist described in a line from Whitman's Leaves of Grass: "I am the poet of the body and I am the poet of the soul." The dance unfolds with various scenes reminiscent of episodes in Whitman's life.

Tablet Sales to Eat Into PC Market: Report
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Led by sales of Apple's (AAPL) iPad, tablets continue to surge in popularity. And, as predicted previously, their growth will cause traditional PC sales to suffer.
For every 10 pads sold this year, five netbook or notebook sales will be lost in both consumer and enterprise markets, says research firm Canalys.
More than 52 million tablets are estimated to be shipped in 2011, with the iPad comprising 75% of these shipments. 12 million tablets will be sold by other vendors.
"The rise of the pad is phenomenal," Canalys principal analyst Daryl Chiam said in a statement. "We anticipate the arrival of many more innovative devices in the mobile PC category over the next couple of years."The growth of tablets, however, will mean that PC companies and their partners, like Microsoft (MSFT), Intel (INTC) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), may lose market share, said Canalys. Yet even with the impact of tablets, the notebook PC category should grow 8% this year, due to the Microsoft Windows 7 refresh cycle and improving business confidence. Netbooks, meanwhile, are estimated to decline around 13%, or 34 million units. In terms of what tablet is most popular with buyers, Apple's iPad, which recently received a big update, is undeniably the market leader, according to research firm IDC. In 2010, the iPad accounted for 83% of all tablets shipped, although as new slate devices hit the market, Apple's share for last quarter slipped to 73%. While analysts generally agree that Apple isn't in danger of losing lots of share to rivals, competing tablets should still find they have a place in the market. According to our recent, informal poll, more than half of TheStreet readers said they plan on buying Research In Motion's (RIMM) highly-anticipated PlayBook device over any other tablet. --Written by Olivia Oran in New York.

Scott Greenberg, special to wtop.com
WASHINGTON - Over the last decade or so, many critics have alluded to a trend in the wine world where wines are produced to a standard referred to as an "international" style.
This trend results in a noticeable homogenization of many red wines that, regardless of country of origin or varietal, taste the same.
Winemakers appear to be focusing on producing wines with clean, fruit-forward flavors and finishes that are big, bold and one-dimensional. While the movement towards this style has definitely helped to improve the quality of wines, it apparently has come at the expense of removing a sense of place and time that the soul of a wine can - and should - convey.
At a recent tasting of Spanish wines from the region of Ribera del Duero, I was pleasantly surprised by how many of the wines actually tasted "of a place."
Located in Gumiel de Mercado, a small village in the western region of Ribera del Duero, is the Arrocal winery. Just ten years old, Arrocal has already grabbed the attention of consumers and critics alike. The 2009 Arrocal Finca la Mata spends just about 18 months in oak barrels and has a pronounced dark fruit characteristic on both the nose and in the mouth, including blackberry, black raspberry and Rum cherry notes.
The lengthy finish leaves both a charming and rustic impression that features a touch of saddle leather and earthiness. $19
Tempranillo flourishes in Ribera del Duero, where it is also known as Tinto Fino or Tinta del Pais. It takes on a particularly brooding characteristic in the 2007 Bodegas Cepa 21. Made exclusively from tinto fino, the red cherry and floral violet nose leads to a very well-balanced palate featuring flavors of black cherry, dark plum and black currants.
The fourteen month aging in French and American oak barrel contributes to the structured finish where notes of vanilla and toasty oak linger. $25
Bodegas y Viñedos O. Fournier produces three distinct wines, including the 2005 Bodegas y Viñedos O. Fournier Spiga, whose Tempranillo fruit is harvested from vineyards located at 2,600 feet. It is aged approximately 12 months in both new and used oak barrels and features charming flavors of red plum, dark strawberry and pomegranate that glide across the tongue on a mellow chassis and leads to a soft, laid-back finish. $24
Bridging the gap between traditional and new-world is the mother-son team of Bodega Martín Berdugo, located in the Aranda de Duero region. Even the label on the 2006 Bodega Martín Berdugo MB is a homage to new (top half) and old (bottom half). The tempranillo features both ripe flavors of big red fruit and subtle earthy tones on the beautifully structured palate.
Additional notes of leather and tobacco combine on the long and elegant finish, supported by sweet, ripe tannins. $30
Eduardo Garcia, the son of legendary winemaker Mariano Garcia (Bodegas Mauro), is reaching for the stars at Bodega Los Astrales, where his 2009 Astrales, made from organically farmed Tinta Fina, displays an expressive nose of black fruit, roasted coffee and red floral notes.
Flavors of dark cherry, black plum and smoky oak are supported by soft tannins that provides round mouthfeel and lets the notes of mineral and vanilla shine through on the silky finish. $65

Awesome Deal
August 26, 2013
I was extremely impressed with the quality and size of these bags. They were larger than I expected, plenty big to fill with little gifts for my girls. The embroidery looked great, no loose stitches and the colors were great. Definitely would recommend these as gifts or as everyday totes. This was my first purchase with American Bridal and I'll be sure to recommend to everyone and come back for all my future orders for last minute wedding stuff!

Now that the venture capital free-fall is ending, can you land the right VC to launch your company into the big time?
True, overall venture capital investing last year was far below the dotcom bubble years of 1999 and 2000. But, at over $36 billion, 2001 was still the third largest year in history, and 2002 looks like it will stabilize well above historical norms. That's good news for early-stage companies.
"During most of last year, venture capitalists spent the majority of their time working closely with their existing portfolio companies, leaving less time to make investments in new companies," says Mark Heeson, president of the National Venture Capital Association. "By the beginning of this year, the focus was beginning to shift back toward evaluating new opportunities."
The numbers bear that out. According to the PricewaterhouseCoopers/Venture Economics/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree Survey, prepared exclusively for Entrepreneur, 800 start-up and early-stage companies received their first round of venture capital in 2001. All told, these companies got $5.4 billion, or an average of $6.8 million per company. It doesn't exactly sound like a dearth, does it? (For a list of firms that made the most first-round deals, see "Top 100 Venture Capital Firms for Entrepreneurs.")
So what are VCs looking for in this New-New Economy? Joe Aragona, general partner at Austin Ventures, an Austin, Texas, firm with $3.1 billion under management, explains it this way: "Most large VC firms have decided to invest through [business] cycles not in cycles. For early-stage investing, a premium is being placed on management, operations and execution instead of a slick PowerPoint presentation."
Jeffrey Harris, managing director of Warburg Pincus, a New York City firm with $9.5 billion under management, agrees. "Both entrepreneurs' and venture capitalists' expectations have reverted to the norm," Harris says. "They're now expecting that it will take years to start a successful company, and they're pacing themselves accordingly with the appropriate burn rates, appropriate incentive plans, and the appropriate amount of capital to make sure the company is on solid footing."
All this hearkens a back-to-basics approach in the industry. An environment where shirt-sleeves experience and innovative thinking combined with venture capital create exciting, successful companies over time. And building sustainable value is what fuels America's economic growth.
Doing the Numbers
Rankings are based on the number of first-time fundings to companies in the start-up and early stages of development made by venture capital firms and similar entities in calendar year 2001 as measured by the "PricewaterhouseCoopers/Venture Economics/National Venture Capital Association MoneyTree Survey" (www.pwcmoneytree.com).
Companies in the start-up stage of development may have been in business for only a few months. Companies in the early stage of development have generally been in operation less than 24 months. At minimum, all companies have a fully developed business plan, a dedicated management team and extraordinary potential for rapid growth.
These fundings represent the first time a company receives financing from a professional venture capital firm in exchange for equity. Prior to obtaining venture capital, a company generally has received financing from the owners, employees, friends, family or incubator or angel investors, and may have taken on debt.
Note: Due to a 56-way tie for No. 71, there are actually 126 firms in our listing.

we had dinner on fathers day with my sons, both in their 20's we all loved both the apps. and main dishes. i had striped bass, which had a great flavor and the yellow wax beans, great. two shared the fire roasted chkicken and loved it and my other son had hangar steak, they also loved the grandmas ravioli, good inexpensive bottle of house wine. service was excellent and attentive, the place had a great vibe, very busy but not deafending and we will definately return.also portions were very generous.

Went to Locanda Verde last weekend with a group of 4 and WOW - food is incredible with decent prices to match! The porchetta, chicken liver crostini, and meatball sliders can't be missed. Our server was attentive but not instrusive and was able to recommend a great italian wine that complimented our dishes. The table next to us got the chicken which looked and smelled amazing - I will definitely be trying that next time!
Posted by Vic Chewals on 06/11/2009
Unless you love high time and a lot of noisy bustle, earlier is better in this place as at so many. But the food's terrific, and for the price a great value.
Posted by anonymoustribecian on 06/07/2009
I have no plans to ever return- maybe to sit at the bar where at least they will put a cloth down -the food is pretentious overpriced Italian food-I have lived and traveled a lot in Italy and LV doesn't compare. We were rushed out and the tables could at least use a table cloth!
Posted by Eric Werner on 05/30/2009
We ate here last night and had an all-around wonderful evening. Sazerac and Cynar drinks: so fun! Fava bean crostini: very fresh with a nice pesto beneath the beans Beets: Amazing preparation. Crisp thing of vinegar, perfectly cooked beets, crunchy walnuts and fresh cheese grated on top. Ricotta: My wife loves ricotta and she said it was the best she ever had. Sardines: Super fresh and flavorful. Crispy Artichokes: Perfect appetizer - beautifully presented, so much fun. Spaghetti with lamb amatriciana: Homemade pasta, full lamb flavor in the spin on bolognese Orchiette special: OMG. With rabbit sausage, spring peas and a perfect cheese a can't recall. DO NOT MISS! Lemon Tart: I wouldn't ordinarily order this, but it was superb. So lemony with a light gelato on the side. I had no room for dessert, but could not stop eating this for anything except: Toasted almond semifreddo: So creamy and served with strawberries and a gingerbread 'snap' that has me looking forward to making snaps myself. As amazing as the food was, i was even more impressed with the service. Everyone was incredibly friendly, including the chef. Our server went out of her way of us numerous times, was spot on in all of her recommendations and really made it a special evening for us. We can't wait to get back!
Posted by lorem on 05/30/2009
My husband and I dined at Locanda last night. WOW! We live around the corner and decided to try as we walked past. We ate at the bar which I am usually against. We expected the food to be amazing (which it was)! The service really was the outstanding feature of the evening. I only intended to have a cocktail. Our bartender kept raving about the food, we asked her to pick some of her favorites... Five courses later (and several glasses of wine) my husband and I are rolling in laughter with the most delightful bartender. The food and wine were unbelievable but the casual delightful service is what will bring us back weekly. Perhaps I will start dining at bars more often.

As close to Italian family home cooking as you can get in NYC. If you are looking for a restaurant that has it all--great food, friendly efficient service, and cool ambiance, run don't walk to Locanda. And the price is right.

Covert Affairs Review: Who's on the Wrong Side?by Carla Day at . Comments
Is there a right side and a wrong side? Or is there just a whole bunch of middle ground?
Covert Affairs season 4 has been a twisty ride and "Space (I Believe In)" turned the answers to those questions into a big blurry mess. Who should be trusted? While I believe Annie's intentions are admirable, she's likely being played (or at least lied to) by both sides. How did that happen?
When Henry Wilcox was released from prison he was determined to make the Campbells pay for Jai's death. Whether they are responsible or not, he blames them and that put them at odds. Wilcox pulled Annie into the mess and she became a double agent of sorts between those two sides. And, now ... she's become a pawn for both of them only she doesn't seem to realize it.
Seth's death was a terrible accident, but it was an accident. There was no foul play involved, but the consequences of his death were far-reaching. People compromised their integrity to protect Annie. Joan risked her position by cleaning Seth's house, Auggie tried to hack into the FBI computers, and the worst was that Wilcox framed an innocent man who was killed and then blackmailed Agent Rossabi into falsifying the DNA results. It was corruption to protect an innocent agent, but it was still corruption.
Wilcox has been portrayed as the villain this season with Arthur doling out just enough information to keep Annie on his side. If anything, Wilcox appears to be more open with Annie than anyone else. Though, it's questionable whether he's telling truths or lies most of the time. Arthur and Auggie held back important information from her and only revealed it when she forced them.
Annie trusts the Campbells because they have more often then not protected her and proven their loyalty through her missions and even rogue actions. And, she's in love with Auggie. Just as the viewers have gotten to know and care about them, so has Annie. It makes sense that they are seen as on the "right" side of the fight, but are they? Wilcox's actions put that into question.
When Annie refused to join Wilcox in his new venture, Lexington Global, he was truly infuriated. His anger exploded with honesty. There's no way that someone could act that outraged and with fury if there wasn't some truth to what they believed, right? He could be deranged, but he didn't come across that way. He seemed honestly concerned that Annie was making the wrong decision.
And as he has done throughout the season, he backed up his claim with supposed facts. Is Auggie still lying to Annie? Is his wife still alive and are they in contact with each other? That would be a humongous blow to Annie and her relationship with Auggie. Unless of course, he has a good reason. They are spies after all. Could the mysterious woman (Michelle Ryan) that Arthur met with in the parking garage and then followed Wilcox be Auggie's wife? That would provide an intriguing twist to this whole mess.
I doubt that it will be as black and white as one side being right and the other side being wrong, but I'd likely be disappointed if Arthur ends up being an irredeemable bad guy in all of this. If anything, I'd prefer if both Arthur and Henry somehow end up being redeemed and the wrong side isn't nearly as bad as it appears. No matter what the ride so far has been a fun one and it looks to only get more interesting from here.
One last loose end is the mysterious Calder Michaels. What side is he on? After "Space (I Believe In)," he may be the only honest one of the bunch. He seems to be the one with the strictest moral code. It could be a facade, but he truly acts as if he wants to make things at the CIA better. With the two flash forwards and then his actions since he took over at the DPD, I wouldn't be surprised if he teams up with Annie to bring down the corrupt and that the elevator shooting was staged.
The question is ... who is really on the wrong side?

Annie and Auggie as a couple has to go. It is not believable. Annie wiith Eyal or someone else is so much more compelling. The chemistry is lacking and storyline limiting. I have been a devoted fan but I am having a really hard time this season,
ok all these comments are getting a lot of people mad, believe me, if you don't, go to tumblr... but seriously @Michael, you hate all these shows to the point where some people want you to shut up(trying to be nice). Seriously people in the NCIS fandom have already told you off about bashing Tiva and now what, because you don't have NCIS, you have to hate other shows?!?! If you don't like the show then do EVERYONE a favor and STOP WATCHING!!
I happen to like the teasers and the long archs... makes it fun when going back to view several episodes or the whole season back to back. I am so tired of shows that end with each episode, the bad guy is caught and the murder is solved all in 45 min dream on. Thanks for all the "oh, S#&*" moments this season and the "I didn't see that coming!" Can't wait to see what happens next.
This show has gone down hill this season. Too much tension without any respite. Annie no longer seems like the spunky young woman we met the first season. Frankly the characters are all tedious. They should do a Burn Notice and just wrap the whole thing up.
A&A are so boring as couple
I think Calder is bad for the show and should be killed off as soon as possible.The flash forward of Annie getting killed by Calder is confusing,perhaps they were working together.I still can not stand Calder
I pretty much hate this season. Annie and Augie-fine. The rest of the mess I can really do without. It's too much "in-spying" and not enough about Spy Missions. I'm very ready for this season to end. May not keep watching after this.
Calder should be fired for disclosing that Joan is NA.
Agree Michael. I try to record so I can fast forward through them. Calder is such a jerk, then we've got Henry. The FBI guy was also being a jerk but evidently Henry brought him down, he always knows everyone's secrets. Too much ugliness & duplicity this season, can't we get back to the original premise of a spy/thriller series.

Video by Christian Jay Smith where he Shows Most of the "Innocence of Muslims" Film Content is Based on Real Muslim Sources
Jay Smith is an American who was born and grew up in India. He has many videos and debates on Islam in youtube.The only thing I dislike is that Jay Smith calls Muhammad "the prophet".He does not believe he was one so why the illogic?In the video Jay Smith shows how most of the scenes in the controversial Youtube trailer "Innocence of Muslims" can be traced back to:
1.Islamic Traditions
2.And the Koran as well.
If Muslims and non-Muslims believe this trailer mocks Muhammad and Islam, then they need to ask whether the Muslim traditions as well as their Koran also mock their Muhammad.

Former Klansman elected Mayor in town of 170,000.....
And where is the media coverage? ....oh wait, what's that you say? It's a former BLACK NATIONALIST LEADER WHO WAS ELECTED AS MAYOR? That explains the crickets from the MSM.....
JACKSON, Miss. On July 1, Chokwe Lumumba, an attorney with a long record of black radical activism, took office as mayor of Jackson. His inauguration took place in the gleaming convention center that sprang up four years ago in the state capitals mostly deserted downtown.
A crowd of 2,500 packed the hall. The city councilors and other dignitaries, most of them African-American Jackson, a city of 177,000, is 80 percent black sat on the dais. The local congressman, Bennie Thompson, officiated. The outgoing mayor, Harvey Johnson, the city's first black mayor, wished his successor well. The Mississippi Mass Choir gave a jubilant performance of When I Rose This Morning.
Finally, Lumumba, 66, approached the podium, pulling the microphone up to suit his tall, lean frame. Well, he said, I want to say, God is good, all the time.
The crowd replied. God is good, all the time!
I want to say hey! And hello!
The crowd called back, Hey! Hello!
Then Lumumba smiled and raised his right hand halfway, just a little above the podium, briefly showing the clenched fist of a Black Power salute.
And I want to say, free the land!
Applause rang out, bells chimed, wooden staffs rose up and people shouted back, Free the land! Thats the motto of the Republic of New Afrika (RNA), the movement formed in 1968 that sought to turn the states of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina into an independent black nation.
Jacksons new mayor is a former vice president of the RNA and a co-founder of the Malcolm X Grassroots Movement (MXGM), a national group born in 1993 that seeks self-determination for African-Americans whom it calls New Afrikans by any means necessary. Like many shaped by the Black Power era, Lumumba long shunned formal politics, until a successful run for City Council in 2009. Now, as mayor, he is seeking to apply the tenets of the black radical tradition to the duties of running a city. "

Kirkpatrick Doctrine
|This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (January 2010)
The Kirkpatrick Doctrine was the doctrine expounded by United States Ambassador to the United Nations Jeane Kirkpatrick in the early 1980s based on her 1979 essay, "Dictatorships and Double Standards".[1] The doctrine was used to justify the U.S. foreign policy of supporting Third World anti-communist dictatorships during the Cold War.[2]
Kirkpatrick claimed that states in the Soviet bloc and other Communist states were totalitarian regimes, while pro-Western dictatorships were authoritarian ones. According to Kirkpatrick, totalitarian regimes were more stable and self-perpetuating than authoritarian regimes, and thus had a greater propensity to influence neighboring states.
The Kirkpatrick Doctrine was particularly influential during the administration of President Ronald Reagan. The Reagan administration gave varying degrees of support to several militaristic anti-Communist dictatorships, including those in Guatemala (to 1985), the Philippines (to 1986), and Argentina (to 1983), and armed the mujahideen in the Soviet war in Afghanistan, UNITA during the Angolan Civil War, and the Contras during the Nicaraguan Revolution as a means of toppling governments, or crushing revolutionary movements, in those countries that did not support the aims of the USA.[3]
Kirkpatrick's tenet that totalitarian regimes are more stable than authoritarian regimes has come under criticism since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, particularly as Kirkpatrick predicted that the Soviet system would persist for decades.
According to Kirkpatrick, authoritarian regimes merely try to control and/or punish their subjects' behaviors, while totalitarian regimes moved beyond that into attempting to control the thoughts of their subjects, using not only propaganda, but brainwashing, re-education, widespread domestic espionage, and mass political repression based on state ideology. Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union are usually grouped together as examples of totalitarian regimes, despite Nazism and Stalinism differing in several key aspects.[4] Totalitarian regimes also often attempt to undermine or destroy community institutions deemed ideologically tainted (e.g., religious ones, or even the nuclear family), while authoritarian regimes by and large leave these alone. For this reason, she argues that the process of restoring democracy is easier in formerly authoritarian than in formerly totalitarian states, and that authoritarian states are more amenable to gradual reform in a democratic direction than are totalitarian states.[citation needed]
The doctrine, while generally applauded by conservatives, has been strongly criticized by some historians and intellectuals such as Noam Chomsky, chiefly on the grounds that it was a cloak for protecting the interests of American corporations abroad and especially in Central America. He suggests that for this reason the Reagan Administration actually worked to undermine democratic government in Nicaragua and to suppress democratic movements in El Salvador and Guatemala. Chomsky referred to Kirkpatrick as the "Chief sadist-in-residence of the Reagan Administration" and went on to sharply criticize what he called the "hypocrisy" of supporting brutal military regimes that showed no respect for human rights or democracy, while claiming to be protecting the region from communism. Chomsky has also disputed another basic tenet of the doctrine by arguing that the supposed communist regimes, such as that of the Sandinistas in Nicaragua, were actually a lot more humane and democratic than the forces Kirkpatrick supported, such as the Contras. [5] Ted Galen Carpenter of the Cato Institute has also disputed the doctrine, noting that while Communists movements tend to depose rival authoritarians, the traditional authoritarian regimes supported by the US came to power by overthrowing democracies. He thus concludes that while Communist regimes are more difficult to eradicate, traditional autocratic regimes "pose the more lethal threat to functioning democracies."[6]

Stir-fry in the Big Green Egg!
By Casey | July 12, 2009
One of the best accessories I have purchased in a while has to be the 14″ steel wok that fits just perfect in the Large Big Green Egg. When used with "Spider" that is available from www.ceramicgrillstore.com it is the perfect setup for amazing stir-fry or just about anything you would like to pan cook. The wok that I have is available from Walmart and Walmart.com at a cost of $19.99 and I just had to remove the wood handles from it. When using the wok make sure you keep it oiled with a light coat of cooking oil before and after each use, this will keep it "seasoned" and will ensure that it will not rust.

Blackberry Season
There are plump and juicy blackberries ready for picking just about everywhere you turn in and around Seattle. We have a special little secluded spot at the beach house we let these blackberry vines with their incredibly sharp thorns take over. Each year we about this time we are reminded with incredibly sweet and delicious berries why we allow these gnarly prickly plants in our yard. We use them in our morning smoothies and mixed into greek yogurt with a touch of honey for dessert.
If you have made the same sacrifice or just love blackberries here is a must make recipe from Cooking Light to celebrate the fruits of your labor.
- 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 6 tablespoons butter, softened
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup whole almonds, toasted
- 6 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/3 cups)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons ice wate
- 10 cup fresh blackberries (about 5 [12-ounce] packages)
- 3 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juic
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons turbinado sugar
1. Place 1/3 cup granulated sugar and butter in a large bowl; beat with a mixer until combined (about 1 minute). Add egg yolk, beating well. Stir in vanilla.
2. Place almonds in a food processor; pulse 10 times or until finely ground. Weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Combine nuts, flour, baking powder, and salt, stirring well with a whisk. Gradually add nut mixture to butter mixture, beating at low speed just until a soft dough forms, adding 3 tablespoons ice water, as necessary. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; knead lightly 6 times or until smooth. Divide dough into 2 equal portions; wrap each portion in plastic wrap. Chill 1 hour or until firm.
3. Preheat oven to 375°.
4. Combine the remaining 2/3 cup granulated sugar, blackberries, cornstarch, and lemon juice; toss gently. Arrange berry mixture in a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray.
5. Unwrap dough. Roll each dough portion into a 13 x 9-inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Cut one rectangle, crosswise, into (1-inch-wide) strips. Cut remaining rectangle, lengthwise, into (1-inch-wide) strips. Arrange strips in a lattice pattern over fruit mixture; sprinkle dough with turbinado sugar. Bake at 375° for 50 minutes or until golden. Let stand 10 minutes.
