'Arrogant' Snowden putting lives at risk, says NSA's deputy spyboss
Two days after NSA leaker Edward Snowden addressed the latest TED technology jamboree in robot form, the US intelligence agency has also made an appearance – with deputy director Richard Ledgett dialing in by video link. Ledgett said the NSA's core problem was that it was lousy at PR, rather than that it was invading innocent …
I disagree. Which means I agree.
It's pretty clear, as stated in the article, that staff at the NSA routinely abuse its powers. Furthermore the whole approach seems to be scattergun with the overwhelming majority of it being aimed at people who have done nothing wrong and will do nothing wrong but, regardless, are given no opportunity to defend themselves or even any notification that they've been surveilled.
So given that this was an attempt at PR, I agree that the NSA is lousy as PR.
Re: I disagree. Which means I agree. @ThomH
Where is it pretty clear as stated in the article that the NSA routinely abuse their powers?
The main mention of anything more than metadata collection is 12 instances over 10 years of "LOVEINT - spying on people they fancy", and that in a linked article anyway.
Re: I disagree. Which means I agree.
I dunno what's worse, the spying and blatant breach of privacy.
or the fact one guy ran off with the entire playbook and spaffed it all over the news.
Well, if its half truths and distortions... then the leaks arent revealing what you are doing... ergo you have nothing to worry about.
Excuse me if I disagree and say "fuck off, Mr. Ledgett". James Madison would be rolling over in his grave and you know it.
The fucking arrogance of this fuckwit!
Re: Right...
Ledgett is a sick man.
Re: Right...
My list of people who can Fuck Right Off grows daily.
Ledgett is on it.
Re: Right...
My list of people who can Fuck Right Off grows daily.
So does mine.
I think that has more to do with me being a grumpy, cynical bastard, though.
Re: Right...
The checks and balances that Madison etc wanted in the constitution are being ridden over roughshod by the intelligence agencies. There are no checks and balances on NSA, CIA etc, they do whatever they bloody want and get the government to rubber-stamp it. If they've been doing something which they realise is highly illegal and are about to get clobbered for it, they destroy the evidence as the CIA did with the torture videotapes. And then lie, obfuscate and do anything int their power legal or not to cover up, up to and including hacking into computers that their oversight committee is using to investigate them. They are waging an all-out war against the checks and balances imposed on them.
Anyone who wants to increase oversight of them is branded a terrorist-helper. And as per teh iron law of bureaucracy, they're run by people whose primary interest is NOT apprehansion of terrorists, security of teh US etc, but the continued existence and growth of funding, budget, power and capabilities of the NSA, CIA etc irrespective of whether they are needed

The head of the NSA and CIA is named Barack Obama. Why didn't I see his name in your rant?
Re: Right...
@AC - hmmm, for some reason you seem to be thinking that I'm an Obama fanboi. Truth is I'm not US citizen, I don't think Obama is some sort of saviour, just that for all his faults he's the best of a pretty nasty bunch.
For what it's worth, yes, Obama did promise to clear up Bush's mess when elected but gave his predecessors free pass. However I'm not convinced he could have done more. He tried to close Guantanamo but was blocked by (Republican) Congress who refused funding for an alternative. And he found enough meltdown and all-out obstruction from political opponents even for just continuing some of Bush's policies (like the bailout, part 1 of which started under Bush). If he had indicted Cheney, Rumsfeld and all points down to the mid tiers of CIA for war crimes and torture, the US would have exploded into civil war. I guess vs CIA, he chose not to fight a battle that would have been very costly to both the US and himself personally whetherhe won or lost.
With respect to NSA intercepts, yes, Obama totally chickened out and allowed Patriot act abominations to continue unchecked. One point though, Obama is NOT the boss of NSA and CIA, these respond to Congress and the respective oversight committees. Obama can nominate the heads but these need to be approved by Congress.
Re: Wouldn't fund an alternative
Why does he need an alternative? It sounds like the proposition here is to build "Gitmo 2.0." How is that any better?
Re: Right...
For what it's worth, yes, Obama did promise to clear up Bush's mess when elected but gave his predecessors free pass
What about the worse mess Obama has created on his own? Didn't Obama promise to end warrantless surveillance? Didn't Obama promise "the most transparent administration in American history"? Isn't Obama head of the Executive Branch? Isn't the NSA and CIA part of the Executive Branch?
Why is Obama using the U.S. Constitution like toilet paper?
Obama is NOT the boss of NSA and CIA
Obama is the boss of the NSA and the CIA.
Did you flunk U.S. history in high school?
@James Micallef
So we have another ignorant Obama supporter.
From the NSA's FAQ's on their website.
The Director, NSA/Chief, CSS, is GEN Keith B. Alexander, United States Army. The Director is appointed by the Secretary of Defense and approved by the President of the United States. The Director, NSA/Chief, CSS, is always a commissioned military officer with at least a rank of three stars. He also serves as the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, in a dual assignment.
I didn't waste my time looking up CIA for you. I doubt you want facts any way.
Yes Congress has oversight committees for various agencies, but they don't run any of them.
Mine is bigger than yours
... and was ready and waitng by the time this all came to light.
But it is OK their collection of my posts and the rest of it is only a PR joke.
Plus some people don't have internet tubes "and thus we can't get at them" he said.
He is just a do nothing liberal
The actual terrrrrrst that caused all this was a chimpanzee from Texas. He set up the torture chambers in Guantanamo because the Iraqis they were torturing in makeshift freight container prisons were so objectionable that the inmates all objected at once and killed two completely innocent CIA researchers.
Poor little things. Ahhhh.
Now the research can be conducted in safety of all concerned. And at the leisure of everyone on the list. Those not on the list can be completly sure they are not on the list. Trust me, I'm a doctor -of news bulletins.
I agree with all of the above
See title
Dear Richard Ledgett,
Fuck off!
Yours etc, XX*
* I was going to use my handle but thought that I'd make the NSA work just a little bit harder.
Re: Dear Richard Ledgett,
Don't worry - they know exactly who you are and already have all your files.
Including your nude selfies.
Even the NSA needs to have someone to laugh at.
The founding fathers!
Why is this such a trope in public discourse in the US?
Now granted I'm only following it from the sidelines, but it seems that somehow the argument that "it's what the founding fathers intended" or it's opposite is supposed to have weight.
And it might have weight if it wasn't used willy nilly all the bloody time! The argument is usually nothing more than "I think that Thomas Jefferson would agree with me".
So to Mr. NSA - if you truly believe that there is no trouble in how the checks and balances are applied, then why are many of these things apparently news to the committee meant to provide those checks and balances?
Oh and one last thing, this article was riddled with half-finished sentences and repeated phrases. Someone - not me - should proof read it.
Re: The founding fathers!
It's more absurd than you'd think: admittedly obliquely, answering a popular British press criticism of the revolution, Jefferson wrote:
"And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? ... God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. ... What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."
Which obviously doesn't mean that the founding fathers considered intended the American constitution (and, indeed, the Constitution) to be a flexible thing but probably does mean that Americans need the largely unrestricted right to bear arms.
Re: The founding fathers!
I've always liked Franklins often seemingly ambivalent view of the constitution and its likelihood of success. But in particular this speech, taken down apparently by James Madison:
"In these Sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its Faults, if they are such; because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no Form of Government but what may be a Blessing to the People if well administered; and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years, and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other."
I doubt very much he'd have been patting the NSA on the back were he around today.
Re: The founding fathers!
Because they assume that slave driving, tax shy, treaty breaking land thieves are the fount of all wisdom and can not possibly be wrong.
Also, since all of them are dead, it is safe to call upon them without contradiction.
""And can history produce an instance of a rebellion so honourably conducted? ... God forbid we should ever be 20. years without such a rebellion. ... What country ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.""
Actually that sounds somewhat like Chairman Mao's idea of a "continuous" revolution.
Which really is Communist.
Mine's the one with that little Red book in the side pocket.
Re: The founding fathers!
I'm more for the right to arm bears, then we might see some action.
Half truths because much of what Mr Snowden has released is up to five years out-of-date.
The other half - what has happened since 2008 - may be even more disturbing.
"Ledgett said the NSA's core problem was that it was lousy at PR, rather than that it was invading innocent people's privacy"
It would appear that Ledgett is (one of) the NSA's core problems.
It's funny because * it's ** true.
*everyone knows
"This ignores the fact that, as a contractor, he had no whistleblower protection under the law, not to mention was aware of what happened to other NSA staff who complained – such as William Binney, who was arrested at gunpoint in his shower and spent five years in legal limbo."
Ah yes, use fear to show others not to come forward when they see wrongs constantly being made.
"Ledgett said that the documents Snowden was responsible for leaking were full of "half-truths and distortions.""
The means the NSA were the ones producing half-truths and distortions. How do we know that is still not the case?
"The capabilities [of the NSA] are applied in very discreet, measured, controlled ways," the deputy director said."
Change discreet to secret (as in secret courts), measured must mean all information, controlled means long-term storage.
""We don't sit there and grind out metadata profiles of average people. If you're not connected to one of those intelligence targets, you're not of interest to us," Ledgett insisted."
Intelligence target is probably a synonym for everyone. You don't need call data for everyone now do you?
" '... If you're not connected to one of those intelligence targets, you're not of interest to us,' Ledgett insisted."
He may be correct, but missed out the word, "yet". Half-truth and distortion is a habit with these bastards.
Excellent PR
"He claimed the agency only slurped the communications of targeted individuals"
And vice versa, if your comms are slurped, it means you're a target. Let's hope that the actual scale of slurping never becomes public... oh, bugger.
"and said that the vast majority of people who weren't on the target list had nothing to fear from his spies."
Whereas the remaining minority who weren't on the target list...
Oh dear. What a way to dig themselves out of the hole. They must be half way to China by now.
Re: Excellent PR
And don't you know, EVERYONE is a target until proven innocent. That's the way NSA works. Collect it all, let "insert program name here" sort it out later.
I'll say it again. I have no problem with the CIA/NSA etc, doing data collection, but only where a warrant was issued. You can't tell me that in the 21st century, you can't email a judge and in 5 minutes have a warrant.
And really, no juicy pics from any of that surveillance, what's the world coming to ?? /jk
To be fair, is there any point any more of covering what the NSA say about this? They are never going to say they were wrong, not ever, no matter what they have been caught doing now or in the future. They will always say its not true, its half true or that what they do is required. That after all, is their job. They are not going to say yes, sorry, we are all doing a bad job here, fire us. It makes no sense to listen to the accused defend themselves when they are still hiding the evidence required to prosecute them.
Yes, there is *every* point in covering what they say, for exactly the reasons you point out.
Won't believe him
Until he explains what Angela Merkel and the Brazilian state oil company have to do with terrorism, drug smuggling and child abuse, and why Clapper lied in public to congress then I imagine most people aren't going to swallow his bullshit, and will view Snowden as a (rather brave) whistleblower.
Less 'PR', more truth please.
I agree that they are not explaining themselves to the public well enough.
The problem, however, is that every official statement or response (like this) is almost entirely composed of vague or intentionally un-defined terms. There is too much PR, not enough honesty.
So, only people who are "connected" to "intelligence targets" are of interest to the NSA?
That nice but offers no comfort whatsoever until you define what criteria constitutes an 'intelligence target' and who is 'connected' to that target. Likewise every other statement.
Spying is conducted in a "measured" fashion? Great - 100% is a measure.
You "are not" tapping world leaders' phones? Superb. But were you?
You "have not" spread malware to a million PCs at once. Couldn't be happier, but could you?
As always with politicians and 'public servants'*, ask them a direct question and they'll answer a different one.
* - I use the term so very, very loosely . . .
Re: Less 'PR', more truth please.
"So, only people who are "connected" to "intelligence targets" are of interest to the NSA?"
...and no matter who they start out watching, they always end up back at Kevin Bacon!
"Ledgett said that the documents Snowden was responsible for leaking were full of "half-truths and distortions." As a result, the intelligence-gathering facilities of the US had been damaged."
What a load of absolute bollocks, so the US's ability to gather intelligence - which is actually compromising encryption standards, vandalising fiber cables, conducting government-sponsored cyber terrorism for which normal people would go to prison, tapping friendly mobile phones, and so, depressingly, on - is damaged because some documents got out which are full of what he calls half-truths? Terrorists are apparently barking up the wrong tree here, they just need to bang out some ropey Powerpoint docs to take down the US.
"He claimed the agency only slurped the communications of targeted individuals, and said that the vast majority of people who weren't on the target list had nothing to fear from his spies."
Yes, well that's bollocks too, but if we're being charitable it cuts both ways - honest, country-serving security agencies operating within the law have nothing to fear from disclosures by whistleblowers.
There's an arrogance to the US too...
The complete disregard for what the rest of the world wants. But they love talking down to us with fairytales of American lives saved! How much longer can the NSA defend itself this way until the rest of us in the outlands question whether the US is worth saving...
I lived there for two decades. I lost friends including my brother to random gun violence. I know this is more about Military Industrial Complex spending than protecting innocent lives. You should see how little is spent making the streets safer in major US cities. But when you're a millionaire congress bought and paid for, you don't have to take a bus very often.
Yes, the NSA Stasi is a runaway train. And with the US elite behaving more like a totalitarian regime every day, who can say the wealth gap won't eventually reach that of North Korea... Americans should study Squanderville versus Thriftville!
Re: There's an arrogance to the US too...
I'm a US citizen, born here, and horrified by what my country has become. Yes, on the whole, Americans are smug, having been fed that "greatest free democracy in the world" line for at least since WWII. Yes, most are totally ignorant of world views, courtesy of our miserable "news"outlets. And the average cit has NO INTEREST in changing that, and in fact is proud of it. I have served as an election judge for a few years, and the level of interest and knowledge of even our own civics is nearly nil. If you ever want to get an idea of how far from informed the populace is, tune in to any Fox News, motto "fair and balanced", broadcast, and listen to the modern Goebbels and Himmler big lie. Please let me know, Reg community, how things go in your home countries, I'm shopping for where to go retire, somewhere that the gov isn't in my bedroom, the healthcare isn't for the rich only, and people can discuss issues and disagree politely without drawing weapons.
Re: There's an arrogance to the US too...
Well, I'm still working on getting my wife to agree to return to the Czech Republic. Their government couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery (ironic, given the central role of beer in the country), so intelligence gathering is unlikely. Their press have few scruples, and are always trying to trip up governmental bodies. Their healthcare system is universal, though still about twenty years adrift of UK standards in terms of medical paternalism. The population are still so aware of how power can be abused they don't even allow police to have unmarked cars (unless that has changed in the last few years). Arguments about politics are common, but rarely (I've never seen it happen in over ten years) get beyond "Oh, fuck off!" Oh, and really good beer all over the place at reasonable prices!
Trouble is, whilst she would not want the country she grew up in until 1989 to come back, the new one isn't my wife's "home". I doubt we will ever live there.
Checks and balances?!?!?!?!? We don't need no steenkin' checks and balances!
"The bigwig said that the US President James Madison, one of the key writers of the US Constitution, would be "would be proud" that the checks and balances enunciated by America's fourth president still worked in today's digital age."
Um, well, no. If they were working as intended, normal governance processes would have stuck a stake in the plan to do mass surveillance before it got off the ground. The NSA has been deliberately evasive, obtuse, obstructionist and lied about what it's been doing . . . to the committees that were (supposed to) provide oversight.
The NSA truly does have a bad PR problem, and Ledgett just adds to it . . .
Re: Richard Ledgett
As we all know power corrupts so,, no one can/should be trusted with all those capabilities.
But what happens if it's shown that, at the same time, that same power becomes necessary to maintain the sovereignty of a country? IOW, it's shown to be a necessary evil?
Re: Richard Ledgett
That depends how you define sovereignty. As far as I am aware there isn't any credible threat to US sovereignty that could potentially be foiled by spying on Merkel, normal US citizens or hell even European citizens.
I mean Osama bin Laden wasn't a credible threat to US sovereignty, though he (or his allies) could be a threat to US lives, but if that's what we're talking about then there are plenty of threats to US sovereignty interred in prisons inside the US - why are they not taking action against this massive threat?
But surely US sovereignty means that the US is allowed to do most of whatever it might feel like doing inside its borders (barring any genocides or such things). This might be where the argument stems from? But there is a difference between sovereignty and sovereign. So it's really only if the sovereign of the US agrees that mass surveillance is a great idea, that it would be a threat to the sovereignty if that surveillance was diminished. Problem is the sovereign of the US is supposed to be the US people, which leads to the fun little fact that we seem to have a sovereign spying on 'himself' without knowing it...
Why does the NSA continue to lie?
I don't know why they bother to say stuff like "[T]he agency only slurped the communications of targeted individuals." It's clear that's untrue -- it's clear they record everything, and then (theoretically) only listen to stuff that they're interested in.
The real information that Snowden exposed is that those things that you knew were theoretically possible to do, but didn't seem worth doing, they *are* doing. Whether it's recording everything, or putting in sufficient backdoors to break any standard encryption algorithm, they're doing it.
"discreet, measured, controlled ways"
I see…
"Is it secret?"
"Is it big?"
"Do we have control?"
Don't Forget Boss Hogg
What this ignoramus fails to consider is that the local yokel Boss Hoggs of the world can tap into the NSA's database with the thinnest of reasons.

In this April 22, 2010 file photo, then-Cleveland Cavaliers' LeBron James talks to teammate Anderson Varejao during the first quarter of Game 3 in the first round of the NBA basketball playoffs against the Chicago Bulls, in Chicago. The wait continues for the next decision. At stake for LeBron James: Where he plays for the next few seasons, and which fan base _ the already-scorned one in Cleveland or the panicked one in Miami _ will undoubtedly feel alienated by whatever choice his latest foray into free agency leads him to make. (AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh, File)Photo by Associated Press /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
CLEVELAND (AP) — LeBron James is going back to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
James tells Sports Illustrated, that he's decided to go home. It's a move that would have seemed unfathomable four years ago, after the venomous fallout that followed his decision to leave Cleveland for the Miami Heat.
James told SI: "My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn't realize that four years ago. I do now."
He spent his first seven NBA seasons in Cleveland. In four years with the Heat, he went to the NBA Finals four times, winning two championships. And now heads back to Cleveland to see if he can finally deliver on his promise of winning a crown for that title-starved city.
James is from Akron, Ohio, not far from Cleveland.

Why Stay At Club Med Ixtapa Pacific
Relaxing on the beach, staying fit with yoga or tennis, or keeping the children busy with kids' club activities, this all-inclusive Pacific Coast resort, about a 3½-hour flight from Los Angeles, is all about options.
The Scoop
An all-inclusive hotel in the Club Med tradition, this 313-room beachside resort offers a full slate of activities. Spacious rooms and suites are designed for comfort, with tile floors and casual furniture. Zumba, parasailing, and salsa dancing can help burn the calories from the beachside buffets, but for those who wish only to unwind, beach cabanas and four outdoor pools beckon, and the spa offers treatments indoors or at open-air palapas on the beach. All-inclusive means full access to the resort's four restaurants and three bars, which serve everything from pizza to Mexican fare. Children's activities are wide-ranging, from tennis to archery to trapeze swinging, divided by age. With the beach at its doorstep, the hotel will arrange excursions by sea kayak and sailboat, and the town of Zihuatanejo is just a 15-minute cab ride if shopping and local culture top your agenda.
Insider Tips
Beach cabanas are free to use, but it's best to arrive at the beach by 7:30 a.m. to secure one.
Sailing lessons are among the resort's free activities, offered twice daily.
Preferred Airport
Arrive at Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport (ZIH) which is approximately 15 miles from the resort. Anticipate about 30 minutes of travel time.Playa Quieta 40, Ixtapa, Mexico

England will take on Wales in a one-off sevens exhibition staged immediately after Sunday's RBS 6 Nations contest between the countries at Twickenham Stadium.
The match showcasing the talents of the HSBC Sevens World Series and Commonwealth Games rivals will be broadcast live during the BBC TV Red Button Six Nations Forum at 5.15pm on Sunday, March 9.
The teams have met twice this season, England winning 33-12 in Dubai in December and 21-7 in Wellington last month.
Meet the England Sevens squad
With interest in sevens booming ahead of its inclusion in the Olympic Games, a primetime slot in the middle of the RBS 6 Nations will expose the stars of the shortened form of the game to a new audience.
RFU Chief Commercial Officer Sophie Goldschmidt said: "We're delighted to be able to showcase international sevens with England playing Wales on such a great stage in front of our fans. Our thanks go to the BBC who are helping us reach a live television audience via the Red Button with this special game.
"Sevens is exciting, dynamic and reaches a growing global following as it heads towards its debut at the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016.
"Both teams on view at Twickenham Stadium take part in a thriving World Series, which concludes with the Marriott London Sevens on May 10-11, and will be heading for the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow later this year with medals in mind."
England Sevens Head Coach Simon Amor added: "The whole squad is looking forward to the chance of being a part of such a massive rugby occasion at Twickenham Stadium.
"We get great support from the senior coaches and players, and our aim is to perform at a level that does them and the shirt proud as our players fight it out for places at the next two World Series tournaments in Tokyo and Hong Kong."
England Head Coach Stuart Lancaster said: "Sevens is an important part of the England Rugby programme with an exciting future ahead in the build-up to the Commonwealth Games this summer and we'll be wishing them well on Sunday.
"England have a skilful and athletic squad and sevens is a great spectacle so I know our fans will enjoy watching them in what should be a great game against Wales."
Wales Sevens Head Coach Gareth Williams said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of such a prestigious rugby occasion. It also provides an opportunity for a number of our development players to stake a claim for a place in the squad to travel to Tokyo and Hong Kong later this month."
England are fourth in the HSBC Sevens World Series standings after five of the nine events that make up the tour and preparing for the next two tournaments in Tokyo (March 22-23) and Hong Kong (March 28-30).
The series then returns to the Northern Hemisphere to Glasgow (May 3-4) before its conclusion at the Marriott London Sevens (May 10-11), which attracted a record 113,000 crowd over two days at Twickenham Stadium last year.
England are then in action in the Commonwealth Games Sevens staged at Ibrox Stadium in Glasgow on July 26-27.

Cassidy Lyrics - Grateful Dead
I have seen where the wolf has slept by the silver stream.
I can tell by the mark he left you were in his dream.
Ah, child of countless trees.
Ah, child of boundless seas.
What you are, what you're meant to be
Speaks his name, though you were born to me,
Born to me,
Lost now on the country miles in his Cadillac.
I can tell by the way you smile he's rolling back.
Come wash the nighttime clean,
Come grow this scorched ground green,
Blow the horn, tap the tambourine
Close the gap of the dark years in between
You and me,
Quick beats in an icy heart.
catch-colt draws a coffin cart.
There he goes now, here she starts:
Hear her cry.
Flight of the seabirds, scattered like lost words
Wheel to the storm and fly.
Faring thee well now.
Let your life proceed by its own design.
Nothing to tell now.
Let the words be yours, I'm done with mine.

Repeat customers to Austin Nails & Spa, which is under new ownership, will notice something familiar during their second visit: the nail file, sanding block, and manicure stick that the nail technician uses. That's because after an initial visit, the staff stores the tools used in a nail kit with your name on it to ensure that they're used only for you or Meryl Streep playing you with uncanny accuracy. This is just one of the ways that Austin Nails & Spa's new owners, a group of sisters, have made their salon stand out during their 10-plus years in business. They also make sure to give abundant training to each of their staff members in their area of expertise. The team, in turn, plies skilled hands to perform manicures, pedicures, facials, and waxing services, among a whole smorgasbord of services.
At Onyx Salon, a talented staff of stylists and aestheticians renovate women's and men's faces, nails, bodies, and ?dos with masterfully executed services. Their haircuts, coloring services, and Coppola keratin smoothing treatments prompt an instant onslaught of double takes from onlookers and aimless hairnets. Brow and facial waxes de-fuzz mugs for professional makeup applications, and spray tans prep bodies for the beach or provide camouflage for pilfered Olympic gold medals. In addition to their regular beauty-boosting appointments, the stylists host glamour parties, where they gussy up guests with eye-catching hair and makeup before releasing them into the wild for bachelorette parties and nights on the town.
For more than 18 years, Thao Tran has treated clients to nail services, skincare, and massages that address issues from stress and chronic pain to weak nails and congested skin. Seven days a week, Tran and the staff at Nail and Skin Day Spa knead away tension, remove unwanted hair, and make lashes stand out with tinting, perm, and extension services. Using products from OPI and CND, nail technicians keep nails strong, shiny, and meticulously groomed. Dermalogica products cleanse skin of all types without artificial colors or fragrance. Permanent-makeup services enhance features without constant makeup reapplication through long days, water activities, and sudden liquid-eyeliner storms.
Inside Simply Irresistible, expert nail tech and independent contractor Maria Mock keeps phalanges looking polished with more than 20 years of nail-care experience, a skill she has taught throughout the world. Maria's dexterous fingers coax tension and miniature squadrons of army men out of feet during soothing pedicures, which treat parched two-steppers to several gulps of lotion. After whittling nails to desired forms, Maria dresses them up with a glitzy layer of polish. The spa Shellac manicure similarly dotes on hands with a massage but goes the extra mile by sloughing off dead skin cells and sealing in moisture with an exfoliation and paraffin hand dip. Maria files talons into shape and finishes with a coat of durable, high-gloss Shellac, which, like a sugar-cookie purist, resists chips. Groupon-holders can upgrade to a french Shellac manicure or a regular french polish pedicure for an additional $5.

Reservations/Appointments: Recommended
Handicap Accessible: Yes
Staff Size: 2?10 people
Parking: Parking lot
Most popular service: Highlights and a cut

Pro Tip: Great environment with excellent services.
Just like many movie theaters, Nail Geeks gives you a choice: 2-D or 3-D? That is, when you come in to get nail art done, the staff can decorate your fingertips using swirling designs or shimmering add-ons, such as rhinestones, beads, and dots. This meticulous art form is a labor of love for the staff at Nail Geeks, who refer to themselves as "nail therapists." They put passion and full concentration into every service.
During their services, they utilize only all-natural skincare products, from lotions and exfoliating scrubs to masks for the hands and feet. They use CND's Brisa gel and shellac, which can resist chipping to preserve color. The nail therapists can also perform relaxing services in tandem with the mani-pedis, everything from hot stones to milk-and-honey foot baths to jazzy saxophone solos.

New die-cutter for great in-line blanking, start here!
Wouldn't it be great if you no longer needed to strip the edge waste from your die-cut work ? After all, it's a slow and labor-intensive process, which is why the world's most productive carton plants use BOBST Autoplaten die-cutters with in-line blank separation to deliver piles of blanks straight to their folder-gluers.

The wines are not only the perfect compliment to each course, but are from vintages from which you could never order a single glass. You will flip over the marvelous wines!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Simply SuperlativeSteveVIPDined on 11/15/2014Everything soared at Chef Mavro's. We had the six course tasting menu with wine pairings. Each course was beautifully composed and flawlessly executed. The wine pairings (with one small exception) were superb. The service was polished, yet warm. The restaurant is expensive, but you are getting a world class meal.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Worth the visitWahiawaJoggerDined on 11/7/2014Always see and hear about this place, but never thought I'd go. Something came up where we made the decision to go and though a little pricey, absolutely worth it. You can't get food like this at other restaurants. It's just an experience! I've been disappointed at other upscale restaurants for 'normal food' and noisy atmospheres, but this is luxury.Special Features:

- Fine dining experienceInlovewithfoodDined on 10/25/2014We wasted no time and chose the 6course meal. Although it was on the higher end it was worth spending the money. I especially enjoyed the the explanation of what each part of the food was, it was a conversation piece between my date and I. In addition to that, we weren't guessing which food tasted what. And Chef Mavro and his wife comes out to greet all their guest. It was an awesome experience.Special Features:
- An amazing dining experience!!AshlandLavenderDined on 10/25/2014I was prepared to enjoy my meal at Chev Mavro, but had no idea that I would be blown away by the exquisite food and wine pairing. From the first (free parking onsite) to having the chef come out and visit, everything was done perfectly. Good was not only delicious, but visually stunning as well. The wait staff was professional and friendly. Our every need was anticipated and provided for. I have gone to Alan Wong's for the last 12 years, never knowing that Chev Mavro was even BETTER! If it weren't so expensive, I'd eat hete all the time. For now, I will save up and plan my next visit. Well done!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A bit disappointingWorldfoodyVIPDined on 10/24/2014The service at Chef Mavro's was very attentive and friendly, if questionably knowledgeable. The setting was appropriate, pretty, and comfortable. Unfortunately, the food was just good. I have no problem paying over $500 for dinner for two if the meal is special. Chef Mavro's was simply forgettable. The 'wagyu' beef was tough (how do you manage that), the wine pairings questionable, and very little was locally sourced. Only the fried cilantro on a second course and the dessert were worth noting. Again, at half the cost, this would've been a 'good' meal. At this price point, it is disappointing. I would not recommend for those trying to experience novel, modern, hawaiian cooking.Special Features:
- Chef Mavro ?ErasmusguestsDined on 10/19/2014We, mu colleagues and I, always do a top restaurant when we are abroad. So in Honolulu that should be Mavro's. However, we started with a luke warm starter. Sauces served are far to heavy compared to the European way were they are much more lighter. Thereafter again a main course which was not at temperature. Wines were surprising I have to admit and well combined. The chef was visiting several tables but apparently had a preference for some of his guest. So we didn't see him !!! Tip from these visitors what real chefs do is talk to ALL their guests. To summarize Mavro is still quite far away form a recommendation in the Michelin World atlas much room for improvement I would say.Special Features:
- Top notchFLdinerDined on 10/18/2014The food, the service, the wine - we could not have enjoyed them all more. Best place in Hawaii.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Birthday Celebration!ColofoodieDined on 10/10/2014Perfect for birthday celebration and certainly a birthday that won't be forgotten! The spicy bigeye ahi, ogo, sea-urchin-aioli on basmati rice with shoyu powder was a great start. The scallop with chanterelle mushrooms was superb....cooked perfectly, velvety sauce, and the rich taste of mushrooms was incredible with the crispy, smoky bacon on top rounding out the flavor. Lamb....rosy tender and we savored the complex flavors with the wine pairing. Birthdays are about dessert....the Fig with pistachio was a lovely finale and they even delivered a special elegant birthday cake finish. Service made us feel like it truly was a special occasion.Special Features:
- A different dining experience.KonagirlVIPDined on 10/5/2014This menu is prix fix with a four course or seven course dinner choice. You may choose wine pairings or no wine pairings. We chose the four course menu, one with wine pairings. The pairings were excellent with each course. There is some flexibility within each menu so you can adjust course choices with a charge. All items fresh and beautifully prepared. Service is friendly. Sit back and just let the food flow. Creative menu. $$$$Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Not good than before.katoyuDined on 10/3/2014The last time April, 2014 was really good for food using Hawaiian vegetable well, but this time only using Hawaiian fish and the taste have nothing special.The recommend wines for each dish also disappointed.
- Great tasting menu / paringsFlyingRonDined on 10/3/2014We did the chefs menu with the "standard" pairings. The food was absolutely excellent and the pairings were perfect. The chef came out and served the fish out of its salt crust and he was fabulous to talk to. The service was excellent. The only thing is the location is a little odd, but they had plenty of parking and the manager actually welcomed us as we got out of our car.Special Features:

- The Best Restaurant In HonoluluChoi1Dined on 9/18/2014Chef Mavro is the best chef in Honolulu. We dined there 5 times in the last 6 months, so it is our favorite restaurant. Don't expect large portions, just delicious food.Special Features:
- Outstanding As AlwaysjamiemDined on 9/13/2014My husband and I go to Chef Mavro every year for my birthday and are impressed by every element of our experience - the food, the wines, the service - EVERYTHING is phenomenal. It was wonderful to see Chef Mavro himself presenting dishes to his guests and it was lovely to have his wife Donna visit every table sharing her aloha. I have traveled to many incredible destinations in my life and had some amazing dining experiences, but NONE compare to the experience of Chef Mavro. It is creative, delicious, world class dining without the pretentious atmosphere - everything is done with aloha. Chef Mavrothalassitis will always be my favorite chef and Chef Mavro's will continue the #1 fine dining experience I recommend to friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Non Plus UltraAuwaikuDined on 9/12/2014The food, the ambiance, the service, the wines are all exceptional. I particularly like the concept of wine pairings. Everything matched. Mavro is definitely a splurge, but it is a splurge that is absolutely worth reveling in.Special Features:
- It Doesn't Get Any BetterGourmetGhettoGoerVIPDined on 9/10/2014Chef Mavro ranks as one of the best restaurants at which we have dined. Frankly, it is hard to believe that there are not lines outside the door waiting to get in. We think that it is just not that well known, and that soon it will be just as hard to get into as Alan Wong's. We had one four course meal and one seven course meal. The Hudson Valley foies gras on the latter was described by my wife as the best she has ever had. When Chef Mavro himself cut open the salt-crusted Onaga table side, it just blew our mind. The wine pairings were exquisite, particularly the 2009 Brunello paired with the succulent lamb loin. A little stuffy for some and in a sketchy neighborhood, but the French/Hawaiian cuisine can't be beat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Dining Experience!philDined on 8/31/2014You only have two choices here: both are wonderful price-fix meals. Each is outstanding and come with optional wine pairings which are very well thought out. Service was attentive and professional and for a pleasant change, this is a restaurant where it is quiet enough that you can actually have a conversation. $$$ but worth every penny.Special Features:
- SpectacularjacktucsonDined on 8/20/2014Having dined all over the world and loving good food this is one of the top dining experiences of all time. The care in menu selection, the tastes, the ingredients were all so fine! Healthy, delicious food paired with great wines in a warm and unpretentious atmosphere. This is excellent dining for the traveled foodie or for people like us who simply love delicious food and tastes that create a great food memory. Our hats are off to Chef Mavro! (A highlight was his personal service of one of the main courses at our table.Special Features:

- Lackluster food and indifferent stfDineamiteDined on 8/16/2014Our introduction to Chef Mavro came when we pulled in to the parking lot and were escorted to the door by the parking attendant. Good start, but something about the wait staff seemed "off key" - - perfunctory service, no coordination. The wine flights were not well-selected and were mostly tart. The salt-crusted fish turns out to be fish cooked in pastry. Well, actually, it was overcooked and lifeless. Not good value for $500 plus for two.Special Features:
- wonderful food-wine pairingslivetoeatVIPDined on 8/7/2014If you like great food and wine pairings, this is the place for you. We did the Chef's tasting menu (the more expensive of the 2) with some substitutions from the regular tasting menu. We split one wine pairing between the two of us which was enough except for with one course. The service was very good. It is an expensive evening out, but I would definitely recommend it for a special occasion.lSpecial Features:
- fredDined on 8/3/2014Excellent service, ambience, food. The location of the restaurant is surprising; non-descript. But, once inside, and seated, all is forgotten. Chef Mavros even came to our table for a short chat.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Amazing Dinner!BestmealinHIDined on 7/26/2014My wife and I went for our 10th anniversary dinner and had an amazing dinner! Flavors were superb; portion size and presentation were perfect; and the wine pairings were all spot on. Service was outstanding. The only thing they could improve on are the decor and view; just could use an update. Once you're inside it's very comfortable...and the service and food more than make up for it. Once the course start coming it doesn't matter where you are...just bring more of the delicious food!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Greatest HitsColofoodieDined on 7/19/2014My wife loved the return of the greatest hits menu including the fresh vegetables, Salt Crusted Onaga (served table side by the chef himself--perfectly cooked and topped with a vibrant flavorful tomato sauce), lamb loin with eggplant caviar in a crispy dough package, and the light as air bite sized Malasadas with vanilla bean ice cream. I tried the Chef menu and was wowed by course (the duck with Bhutanese black rice and lobster were favorites) after course perfectly paired with wine. I reluctantly shared one course with my wife--the goat cheese with kumquats and white honey, but I kept the decadent chocolate to myself. Service was warm and friendly. Special celebration and memorable evening!Special Features:
- Mavro is the BombSTLGrannyDined on 7/17/2014It was wonderful - cannot describe the perfection of the flavors.
