| Rome’s Best Pizza Restaurants Jan 16th 2012, 19:52 Most pizza lovers agree that Naples is the home of pizza, and the city that sets the bar for it. But that’s not to say that there isn’t great pizza in Rome. There is. And enjoying a slice or a whole pie in Rome is an essential part of any visit. As a rule, pizza in Rome is thinner and crispier than it is in Naples. And most Roman pies have more pizza toppings than the traditional Neapolitan margherita or marinara. If you’d like to accompany your pie with a salad, an antipasto, and dessert, most of the restaurants in Rome serve more than just pizza. Whether you’re looking for a casual place with shared tables and paper plates, or a nice trattoria with a pretty terrace and good wine, there’s a pizzeria in Rome that’s just right for you. Here’s our list of the best pizza restaurants in Rome: 1) Da Baffeto. Close to the Piazza Navona, this is probably the most popular pizza place in town. There’s usually a line, and once you’re seated at a table, it will probably be with others. But the pies here are worth waiting for. With a great balance of cheese and crust, really flavorful toppings, and a superior texture, this is a place worth seeking out. Da Baffeto now has a second location on Piazza del Teatro di Pompeo. 2) Dar Poeta. In Trastevere, they serve traditional Roman pies with unconventional toppings like apples and Grand Marnier. The dough is made from a secret, yeast-free recipe, and you can order yours with thick or thin crust. Order some bruschetta to enjoy while you wait for your pie – they serve several kinds. And don’t miss the Nutella and ricotta cheese calzones for dessert. They’re delicious. 3) Da Vittorio. Also in Trastevere, they offer a thicker, chewier Neapolitan-style pie with lots of different toppings and several interesting combinations. Salads and antipasto here are also good, but it’s the pizza that keep them coming back. Unlike many of the other places in Rome, you can make reservations at Da Vittorio, which should reduce you wait. 4) La Gallina Bianca. If you’re staying near Termini train station, this place is very convenient. Plus, it’s open for both lunch and dinner. You can dine inside or out on wonderful pies that emerge from the wood-burning oven perfectly crisp. If you’re not in the mood for pizza, the pastas and other trattoria-style selections are all good. Accompany your meal with one of their good, affordable bottles of wine. 5) Est, Est, Est. In business since the 1930s, this is a family owned place with a lot of heart. The food is good, the service is friendly, and most nights, it’s a lot of fun. Don’t be surprised it the whole restaurant bursts into song – Arrivederci Roma or A Solo Mio, for instance. 6) La Montecarlo. Opened by the daughter of the owner of Da Baffeto, La Montecarlo has its own loyal following. It’s just around the corner from the original Da Baffeto. You’ll have to wait here, but they serve terrific thin-crust pizzas with a wide variety of toppings, fabulous home-made desserts, and good, Italian wines. | |

Basilica di San Marco; Campanile – This is an amazing place to start of your Venice vacation with a beautiful birds eye view of the city at its finest You pay a small fee to ride to the top but its well worth it for the amazing view from the tallest bell tower in the city. 2. Piazza San Marco – Often referred to as the center of Venice, the Piazza San Marco is one of the most popular tourists’ destinations today with its marvelous architecture and a little something for everyone. If you really want to make the most of your experience I suggest you visit it both during the day and at night and be prepared to be very pleasantly surprised by the beauty this Piazza and its surrounding holds. Another weird yet fun activity to try out would be pigeon feeding, located in the Piazza San Marco as well. Buy some pigeon food (sold everywhere all over the Piazza) and watch dozens of pigeons flock to you within seconds. 3.

Whether you’re there as a couple or just family and friends, a Gondola Ride offers you a different view of Venice with some of the best sites seen from the comfort of your cushioned boat than anywhere else. 4. Doge’s Palace – Take a tour through the gothic palace of Venice that was once considered to house the rulers of the city. Get your reservations early as this is a popular tourist activity as well, with some of the best highlights to be seen behind the closed doors and prison-tour of the Doge’s Palace. 5. Grand Canal – A vaporetto boat ride along the Grand Canal is another way to see Venice by the water. The busiest canal in the city and the most important one at that, you’ll find yourself at the heart of bustling life and gorgeous buildings on each side. The best part about the the boat ride is that it’s pretty cheap so you can take it a few times over to indulge in the beauty of Venice. | |

| Conspiracy Theory As Political Philosophy and Ideology – Reflections on a Post 911 World Jan 16th 2012, 22:17 As any Philosopher of Science will tell you formal theories serve as explanations to observed phenomena, an association between the explanandum – the object of phenomena to be explained; and the explanans – the framework, concept or theory to be used as an the reference point for explanation. Pioneers in philosophy of Science such as Hempel coined this logic inference to the best explanation. Employing a Meta theory that explains a form of social reality and existence has long been the goal of Philosophers who propagate abstract thinking and rules of logic to define and set the boundaries of ontology and epistemology. In Political Philosophy one often has the espousing of an Ideology: A set of ideas that best serve to explain political and social phenomena and thus attempting a correlation between the theory used in explanation with that of the “goings on” observed. For long periods in history Philosophers and Social Scientists have debated whether Liberalism, Marxism, Anarchism, Structuralism or Methodological Individualism best serve as theoretical explanations of social reality. In this same instance we find Ideologists today who advocate Conspiracy Theory. Like so many others in the realm of theoretical and philosophical explanation they too employ ideal frameworks that account for observed phenomena. Regardless of the aspects that encompass specific conspiracy theories, whether they are single point conspiracy theories like 911 or Meta conspiracy theories of the New World Order, they all occupy the spectrum of political ideology. This is because they advocate an explanation for observed phenomena. As where Marxism does it through the lens of capitalism and its dialectic with the human essence, Liberalism through inalienable individual property rights, conspiracy theorists do it through the lens of an esoteric operating cabal – for instance a horde of business and political agents responsible for 911 and its cover up. All these ideologies execute the same cognitive apparatus when examining social data. They have a target point to explain and go out about it by utilizing their philosophical and ideological perspective and beliefs to explain the phenomena at hand and simultaneously reinforce their belief system in a circularity manner. Once can examine 911 from various stand points including the official explanation stated by the U.S Government or from the perspective of both Meta conspiracy and single point conspiracy theory. It is worth noting that often proposed theories have to take into account competing theories, and thus in effect explain them too. Here conspiracy theorists would argue that the Ideologies of both Liberalism and Democratic Government are facilitated by the ruling elite to distract us from the real “goings on” at hand. One of the most significant indicators of Conspiracy Theory as Ideology is its remedy for the perceived problem; the way out of the turmoil and into a utopian future akin to the Marxist proposal for the future design of society and mankind. Ironically it is here where Conspiracy Theory shares its most identifiable resonance with the established philosophies of Liberalism and Marxism. Certain conspiracy theorists such as Alex Jones cry out for the Republicanism of the founding fathers of the American constitution – intended to safeguard the individual rights of citizens from ever intrusive Government legislation. This is an obvious parallel with Liberalism and Anarchism yet not attributed as one due to the predisposed schema that Liberalism is a conspiratorial design. Then we have the utopian future of a collective society void of greed and ego to better mankind and society against the tide of corporatism and the concentration of power in Government as advocated by David Icke. This is an obvious appeal, whether subconscious or not, to Anarcho-Communism. Yet it is these political and social aspirations of Conspiracy Theory that presents it in the light of ideology: the analyzing of socio-political phenomena with theories of causations and justification as well as proposals for future change. Conspiracy Theory is also the political ideology of the disengaged and of the fringe. As previous Socialist, Feminist and Civil Rights movements were motivated by the disenfranchised in society at the time, we now have conspiracy theorists disillusioned with globalization, Sovereign centralization and free market economics to the point where they can no longer follow or assert the dominant paradigms of the modern world, especially when associated with the official accounts of 911. They therefore find solace in a theory that explains the current state of affairs to them in a more appealing manner with the possibility of change – the same as any other political ideology. | |

| Barbecue Cooking Tips – Indirect Heat Grilling For Perfectly Done Outdoor Roasts Jan 17th 2012, 04:14 The spring and summer months are a great time to pull the old grill out of the garage, dust it off and start planning some delicious barbecue dishes. Most of us know how to make basic grilled foods like burgers, hot dogs, steaks and sausages. These are generally cooked by the most basic form of grill cooking, direct heat cooking. Direct heat grilling means that the food is directly over your heat source (hot coals or gas burners) and cooks from this direct heat. Direct heat is perfect for smaller food items that you want to quickly sear the outside, producing that beautiful browned caramelization on the surface, while sealing in the juicy freshness of the inside. It is the ideal cooking style for steak which is nice and browned on the outside yet pink and juicy on the inside. However, what many grilling neophytes don’t know is that direct heat is not the only way to cook on a barbecue! Another important style of cooking is indirect heat grilling. Indirect heat relies on a heat source which is not directly next to or beneath the grilling food, but is rather separated by some distance. With the lid closed on your barbecue, this gentler form of heat cooks the food by convection of ambient heat in the hot air and smoke within your grill, rather than by direct radiant heat from the coals. This is similar to the way food cooks in your oven when roasting, except without the wood smoke! So why should you learn how to cook with indirect heat? What is it good for? Well, if you tried to grill a whole chicken with direct heat over very hot coals, the surface skin and fat would be burnt to a crispy, black char long be | |
