Founder of the Ballymaloe Cooking School and one of the top chefs in Ireland, Allen offers up approachable and inspiring tips for party planning. Although some of her advice is less than practical (she advises keeping a few hens in the garden so that you will always have fresh eggs), her recipes for everything from ciabatta stuffed with "good stuff" to the bizarre-sounding but amazing roast lamb with chocolate would enliven any party...
...Russian military factory, bought the distribution rights and set up[an error occurred while processing this directive] a company, the Lomographic Society, to sell it all over the world.

Yet the new regime is itself starting to lose favor among Thais: promised dates for the repeal of martial law and fresh elections have yet to be announced, and junta members have come under fire for giving themselves pay raises and top jobs in state companies. "The longer the government shows its indecisiveness, the better it is for Thaksin," says Thammasat University politics professor Somjai Phagaphasvivat. Thaksin's legal adviser, Noppadol Patama, says his client's travels around Asia are not intended to capitalize...
