Need Las Vegas Advice
- r
- Red Rock Sue Dec 16, 2006 05:41 AM
I am new to Chowhound and this is an awesome site. We're off to Vegas, and on a budget so, courtesy of this board, we plan to go to LOS and to take advantage of the specials at Rosemary's and Commander's Palace. I need advice on a few places; any recs on any of the following?
Aloha Island Grill, Ambiance Bakery & Bistro, Como's Restaurant, ENVY The Steakhouse, Hannah's Neighborhood Bistro, Lucky Cheng's, Marrakech, Original Pancake House, Osaka Japanese Bistro, Panevino Ristorante (same as the San Francisco/Santa Barbara restaurant?), Pasta Shop Ristorante, Roy's, Soul 2 Soul Bistro, Strings Italian Café, Table 34, Tinoco's Bistro?
I really appreciate your help and will report back.
Best to you and yours for a happy holiday season,
Lunch is very reasonable at Mesa Grill and it's very good. Some of the best burgers you'll ever have.
Bradley Ogden serves great sandwiches at their bar seating. Very comfortable and quiet, different from most restaurants' noisy bar area. You can order from the full menu as well-sandwich and dessert, if you're trying not to spend too much but want some great food, this is a good option.
re: elrushbo
I was in Vegas recently and we ate dinner at Bradley Ogden. The food and service were excellent. If this is an option to have a reasonably priced meal there, I would go for it!
re: diablita FL
I just got back from Vegas and Bradley Ogden is undergoing some renovation.
I know you didn't mention Mesa Grill but I'll agree with the above.
I haven't been to any of the ones you mentioned, except for Como's. We loved it but you do realize that it is out in Henderson, at lake Las Vegas? A bit of a drive from the Strip, about 20 minutes or so without traffic. I wouldn't call it a budget meal either. We were staying at the Ritz there one year which is how we discovered it. Had dinner which was wonderful. Had a delicious Kobe style strip steak - if I remember it was about $40ish, and was not large. My husband had a very good pork dish and we had a very impressive dish plate for desert and the wine list was very nice too - great service as well. I don't know if I'd drive out there on purpose if staying on the Strip for this meal - but would go back if I were off-Strip. Lake Las Vegas is lovely but not exactly a destination unless you're big on golfing or using it as a stop over when visiting Valley of Fire, Lake Mead or Hoover Dam perhaps. Some cute little shops, small man-made lake, small casino, some large hotels and expensive private homes.
BTW, If Lucky Cheng's is anything like the original in NYC - I'd skip it. If anyone can voice an opinion on that, I'd be interested. I work in NYC, lived there for years too and Lucky Chengs was a "hot" destination when it first opened about 15 years ago, but now I'd consider it to be more of a joke restaurant to take out-of-towners who don't know better.
Daniel Boulud @ the Wynn for the prix fixe dinner before 7pm is a bang for your buck! (3 course dinner) Great Ambiance, food and experience. Had dinner there this past Wednesday and it was fabulous as always!
Had the Short Ribs.....melt in your mouth !
Check out the menu:
re: ciaogal
How much for the prix fixe?
re: elrushbo
The Prix Fixe 3 course dinner is $48....
There are lot's of entrees that are priced less...the menu is varied,
lots of choices for all palates.
The DB Burger is Decadent...stuffed w/ foie gras and short ribs...yummy!
If you want sushi, I would skip Osaka and Hannah's and go to Koto. The drive is the same; Koto's is not as fancy inside as either of the two you mentioned, but the food is better. Hannah's is a very pretty destination type place out in summerlin, and the garlic noodles are very good; it's enjoyable, but there are other Asian places that are less expensive and better IMHO. Like Osaka as well, but the sushi is better at Koto. Panevino is actually pretty expensive; I don't think you save much by going there, and I am not crazy about the food (although the view is good). Tinoco's closed it's location near Table 34, and is now open only on Charleston in the Arts Factory; however, the food is terrific (he is especially good with soups). I'd go to Todd's over Table 34, similarly priced, and I think Todd's is better. ENVY is very good, pretty room; not exactly a bargain, but cheaper than the strip places. I'd go to Ambiance for breakfast or lunch, very tasty, but I'd skip for dinner right now; they've really cut back on their menu. I've only been to Pasta Shop once for dinner, but it was very good; not as big a menu as Panevino, nor as nice or pretty a space, but I thought the food was better; the pasta is just delicious, very tender, and the service was very friendly. Hope this helps...
Osaka on West Sahara was doing solid sushi many years before the sushi craze in the US. Although it's been a while since I've been there, it was always "the real deal" with high-quality fish sliced by traditional experienced sushi chefs.
If you are willing to go off the strip (two miles) and try something local, you will be well rewarded. A recommendation from a business associate had us visit a restaurant called Pamplemousse (like the fruit). It has been there for years, and is chef-owned.
Atmosphere: cosy Old World/French, not at all pretentious as some of the chef-named properties on the strip can be.
Cuisine: French, but not overly "haute"; beautiful sauces presented with the meats (I couldn't decide which sauce I wanted for my duck, so they brought the two in which I expressed interest).
They start with a crudite basket (plenty of beautifully presented fiber and vitamins there!). We followed it with two starters - the foie presentation was delicious - pan-seared.
We enjoyed a glass of Champagne as an aperitif.
Duck and beef were the entrees. Quite frankly, we were getting full by this time, but enjoyed the sensory experience of the entree. We each had a glass of wine with dinner.
Dessert was creme brulee and fresh, tropical sorbet (lilikoi and mango were part of it - my favourites!).
Total bill: $125. Unheard of in Las Vegas.
The service was gracious, and we had a very leisurely dining experience. It was worth the short taxi ride.
as to the original pancake house - it almost goes without saying, go withe the pancakes - the dutch boy is unique - not your "normal" pancake...i liked it; i also like the baked omelets...sometimes they overcook them but 2 out of 3 times i've been there, they got it right....i did not care for there standard breakfasts because they do not include hash browns. and the hash is really good. can i make another suggestion for breakfast - give hash house a go go a try - it's just a little farther away from the strip then the pancake house and let me tell you, i doubt you have experienced a more unique breakfast menu - especially good with a group so everyone tries something different and you share...the portions are huge so be careful !!
re: kjs
FWIW, Original Pancake House is a nationally franchised chain with about 90 locations in about 25 states, so it's not exactly a Las Vegas thing. I ate at one in Maryland once I didn't think it was anything special, although I only had regular pancakes, not one of the "signature" items. Your mileage may differ. Hash House a go go is only a two location operation, with the other (original) being in San Diego. I haven't been myself, but it certainly sounds more interesting. Another breakfast possibility that I have tried is Verandah in the Four Seasons. Not cheap, but great food in a really lovely, serene setting and as a bonus you get to rub shoulders with the moneyed set. Go on a warm morning and sit out on the......, well, Verandah.
i looked at your list a 2nd time - i'm in vegas virtually every week and i try to hit at least one new local place when i visit and i tell ya...i didn't recognize half the places you've listed...how did you come up with this list ? i've been to roy's, i previously commented on the pancake house, i ate at table 34 when it was wild sage - i believe the same chef is there...i doubt it is cheap eats - it was good food when it was wild sage, i believe i drove by strings once...is it in henderson/green valley on sunset ?
re: ciaogal
From what I can tell, the thing to get at the Peppermill is the fruit salad. It will make for a generous light breakfast for three easily. The coffee is utterly wonderful, one of the best cups I've had anywhere.
Thanks so very much everyone! Sorry about the late reply. We were traveling from CT and just got to Vegas late last night. We're staying at THEhotel and, so far, had a good late dinner in The Café: shrimp cocktail with the biggest shrimp I've ever been served as a cocktail. I had a lobster salad appetizer, which was delicious and very fresh, with steamed vegetables and roast garlic, with a side of asparagus. I had requested the sesame spinach but, apparently, since the CA E. coli scare, they stopped serving spinach. My husband had twin Croissant sandwiches, one chicken salad and one tuna, which he really enjoyed.
We rented a car this trip and plan to explore beyond the Strip. We'll probably go to Hoover Dam and Red Rock Canyon.
kjs asked "I didn't recognize half the places you've listed...how did you come up with this list?
It was from a combination of articles about Vegas as well as some coupon offers.
Thanks again for the help. I'll post updates.
re: Red Rock Sue
definitely don't forget to try some items off the northern menu at l.o.s. other than that, i love the grilled whole catfish and the lobster special (not on menu).
I am obviously a little late with my opinion, but have been to a number of those listed:
Ambiance - This is a 32-seat restaurant and the menu has always been limited, but supplemented by very good nightly specials. I am not sure if this restaurant has changed hands or not since our visit in September 2005. Is the owner/chef sitll Jean-Pierre Giron? If so, you will enjoy your dinner. Since we were there, a $24.95 three course menu has been introduced - choice of baked salmon or bistro steak.
Como's in Lake Las Vegas is owned by Joseph Keller whose brother Thomas owns several world class restaurants including the French Laundry and Buchon. We were very disappointed with our meals.
Hannah's Neighborhood Bistro is upscale Vietnamese and premises are worth the drive. The food underperformed on our one visit with the exception of the garlic noodles, but we will probably return in the not too distant future.
Original Pancake House has several locations so choose the one closest to where you are staying. Prices for their baked pancakes are excessive. There is a senior special on the menu called the Grand Treat that is quite bountiful for the price.
Roy's is an upscale chain that originated in Hawaii and emphasizes fresh fish. We just visited Roy's in Las Vegas and felt the 3-course prix fixe meal was well worth the price.
Soul 2 Soul - Many reviews mention slow service which was not a problem when we visited in September 2005. We were, however, disappointed that our salmon was overcooked.
Strings Italian Cafe - a nice southern Italian restaurant that serves typical fare. The meal won't be memorable nor will it disappoint.
Table 34 - we tried 2 different entrees and both were good, but just not good enough.
Tinoco's Bistro - the Chilean sea bass over mashed potatoes and spinach in a lobster curry sauce was outstanding. The decor and location were not a draw for us.
A few restaurants you did not mention that offers similar discounts include:
Todd's Unique - I prefer it over Rosemary's. The owner/chef is particularly good with fresh seafood though carvivores will not be disappointed. BTW - there is no corkage charge is assessed on Wednesday nights.
Sapporo - this offshoot of the original located in Scottsdale, is enormous with a large bar area peopled by the young and restless. The restaurant offers the obligatory sushi bar, several teppanyaki grills and Pacific Rim cuisine. We shared an appetizer of coconut chicken skewers with a sweet chili sauce. The plate was quite attractive with the skewers imbedded in a large pineapple segment. We ended up both ordering the crab crusted mahi mahi artfully arranged on top of lemon jasmine rice in a black bean buerre blanc sauce and accompanied by grilled asparagus spears. Everything was delicious though I would have been happier if the fish was a little less well done. Highly recommended.

Review: This was the first time I ordered any frozen items from Vital Choice - the burgers arrived extremely quickly and were well-packed in a foam cooler with dry ice. They were completely frozen when they arrived. We cooked a couple for dinner in a frying pan, and it's extremely convenient to be able to put them straight into the pan while frozen (they cook up very nicely from frozen and didn't fall apart at all). It took less than 10 minutes to prepare dinner with these burgers. They are not full of filler like other lesser quality salmon burgers; they are very good and taste just like they're supposed to - like salmon! I would order these again.

Review: I am addicted to both sizes of these burgers. The ones at the grocery store have bread crumbs as additives, and these are pure salmon. In 5 minutes, you have any meal or snack with this burger. My only question is the 4 oz size displays that the calorie count is 200 and the 5 oz size says 154.

Casualties of a Dice Game Lyrics - Big L
Review The Song (2)
[Big L]
It's Flamboyant y'all
Yeah, yeah yeah, Corleone y'all
Me and my man was cruisin through the streets and everything was flowin nice
The corner's crowded, niggaz must be rollin dice
I parked the ride so my nigga Iroc can crash the lye spot
and I'ma gamble until he come back - why not?
Click-clack, cock the gat back, gotta be strapped
The game was mad packed, mad cats pockets was fat
They playin cee-lo, my dick get hard when I see dough
I bets nothin less than a G yo, you know my steelo
First I was losin then I started throwin headcrack
after headcrack, got my bread back, jumped in my red Ac'
I'm waitin for my nigga to come out of the spot
I see niggaz startin to plot, and I'm far from my block
Finally he walked out, told him, "Hop the fuck in"
On my face he saw the grin and said, "How much did you win?"
I estimated about, 45 maybe 50 G's
My man was hungry so I dropped him off at Mickey D's
Now I'm alone, headin home to rest my dome
Spotted some niggaz trailin so I picked up the phone
Called Bones, I said, "Yo son, I'm on the run
Need your help before I get done
Meet me downstairs, bring your big gun"
I don't believe this, this nigga said he can't make it
cause some bitch is in his house butt-naked
and then he hung up
And this supposed to be my man and he don't give a fuck
That duck sold me out just to get a nut, what?
I'm cruisin fast and they still behind me
The same nigga who I won the money from, and his grimy crimey
It's about to get, real hasty
Grabbed the steel, took it off safety
cause I refuse to let these niggaz waste me
I started to cruise fast, then stopped short and made 'em crash
And now them fags is all bloody from the shattered glass
And one of them had passed, when his face smashed the dash
I was injured too, leakin with a deep gash
I ain't panicked, I was quite calm
Couldn't use the right arm, so I grabbed the gat with the left
Walked up to the car the creep was stuck in the seat
Looked at him, shook my head then started buckin my heat
It's over now, cause both of these motherfuckers asleep
I think I'm dyin, I'm feelin weak out on my feet
but before I got some medical help, I had to catch a cab first
to one-forty-first and Bradhurst
That's where Bones live, walked in the buildin, staggerin
Lookin tore down, shot his door down and beat his whore down
From the look in my eye, he knew he would die
Started to cry, stuck the gat to his head and said, "Why?"
Then he offered me, all of his cheese
then dropped to his knees and begged me please not to squeeze
Then his brains got blast out, he's ass-out, then I dashed out
into the streets covered with blood, about to pass out
The hospital's up, a couple of blocks, I'm on my way but
damn, here comes a couple of cops; I pulled out
and started blowin they started blowin back I'm goin all out
I ain't holdin back, I been to jail once and I ain't goin back
I kept shootin, one shot caught a cop dead in his top
The other pig ducked behind a big truck
I was bleedin real bad, and couldn't stop it
but still had the fifty thou' profit in my pockets
The coast was clear, so I jetted to a park that was near
Seen kids playin everywhere then threw the cash in the air
I watched all of them, run for they share
and all I can do was stare
I got weak and fell on my rear
Now I can hear the sirens, that means here comes the Jakes
but it's too late, I'm knockin on the pearly gates
Yeah, casualties of a dice game
Never gamble with snakes
Let that be a lesson to ya
Yeah, it's Corleone y'all
Yeah, it's Flamboyant y'all
Big L y'all, Flamboyant baby, yeah
Big L.. uhh
Big L.. yeah, it's Flamboyant y'all, yeah

Just Moved To Andover Ma
Looking for a good pizza place. Any suggestions?
re: ScubaSteve
My kids like Depot near the railroad tracks and King's Subs for Pizza. There is another one on Post Office St. but not don't know that one very well. We do seem to have a lot of pizza in Andover! Sal's is actually in No. Andover or Lawrence but that is not too far.
re: 2cutepugs
Andover = No. Andover despite what the residents think.
re: ScubaSteve
No it doesn't.........
We have two favorites: Andover Deli and Spinners. Spinners is a thin crust pizza; Andover Deli is a little thicker. Both are really good.
Spinners is by the Ballardvale train station; Andover Deli is by the horn bridge (near Phil's Roast Beef, also a good take out place, and Dinner by Dish for when you want something more upscale in terms of dinner but don't feel like cooking. Their Haddock Cakes are excellent. For Dinner by Dish you order in advance and pick up on the day you choose, but they usually always have some extra that you can stop by and see what they have.)
Hands down, Pizza King. It's in Lawrence, but really close to North Andover. I like Sals too, but it's mass produced garbage compared to Pizza King.
Here is my past review:
re: mjg0725
another Pizza King fan here also.
Sal's in North Andover. Skip Bertucci's-- too hit or miss.
Sometimes Whole Foods Pizza is tolerable depending on who's cooking.
i just moved to North Andover last May from Revere and i have a suggestion for you....fill your tank and drive to Santarpio's in East Boston or Bianchi's in Revere....there is no comparison up there for the type of food there is on the North Shore....whether it's the pizza, seafood, chinese, roast beef (although Harrison's is good in N Andover) the best food around is on the North Shore
re: cf4redsox
I think you have to grow up eating Santarpio's and Bianchi's to appreciate their pies. Most people I take to Santarpio's who are not from around here just don't like their pies. As far as Bianchi's I'm not a fan of their pizza but they do have their following.
If suggest you try Pizza King in Lawrence, or Napoli's Pizza or Andino's Pizza both in Haverhill and take-out only. I think it's the best this area has to offer.
re: cf4redsox
Too funny!
re: cf4redsox
Couldn't agree more. In fact, if you want any food worth something you need to leave Andover and head to Haverhill or, better still, Boston. Welcome to Blandover
re: donjay
2nd that. pretty slim pick'ins in ANNdover, in fact it's really disgusting. Keons in Haverhill is excellent. Lots of great ethnic places in Lawrence, good Italian bakeries and pizza.
re: drewinmrblhd
What is a Nolio? Thanks.
hop over to Lowell and do my fav - Espresso's pizza. There are wonderful diverse ethnic restaurants in the lowell area once you tire of pizza. :-)
re: rew1000
Agree! Tripoli's best not full of gunky cheese! Also try Pizza King on Mass. Ave-near Rt 495 close to so. law-great meat pies and spinach pies! My family love the chicken cutlet calzone! Give it a try. The owner is very nice and the place is always super clean!
Well the good news is, Butcher Boy, one of the best meat and specialty markets in the area, is close by in N. Andover.
If you want a pizza similar to North End its not Sals its Amici Pizza on Waverly Road in North Andover. Say hello to Leo the owner, he's been at it for a long time and you can definitely taste the difference. Check out the old pictures of him in the restaurant if you don't believe me. May be a bit of a wait but worth it.
re: shamrocks
I second that. We recently discovered Amici's and it's become our go-too place. It's amazing how many people in the area have not heard of it. Best pizza in the area and the service is great too.

Artemis 3 years #4, I agree, her face looks weird, I have been studying her for some time now and she looks more and more changed. I hope she does not intend to follow in the footsteps of Nicole and Meg Ryan. If she suddenly appears with full lips, we will know she is addicted like the other two. Hockey-Princess 3 years Gwyn, your figure is largely a product of genetics. But never mind that. What regular woman (you know, a woman that doesn't have nannies, maids, housekeepers and cooks) can afford to work out 1.5hr / 5 days a week? She lives in a different world, and that's fine. But I would appreciate some humility, some sign of understanding that her lifestyle isn't everybody's lifestyle. Instead, she always sounds obnoxious and clueless. Typical spoiled brat that knows nothing about real life. ChelMarie 3 years She can work out all she wants, but if she doesn't stop messing with her face, she's really going to ruin her looks. Now Meryl is the epitome of how to age gracefully. littlemunchkin 3 years I like that Gywneth admits to doing exercise to stay in shape. I hate when you hear celebs saying that they don't do any exercise at all, its just "good genes". No matter how good your genes are, to get a body like Gywneths, you need to work out! babaloo 3 years I wouldn't diminish the effort she puts in to be in shape. You can tell by the muscle tone in her legs that she works out. Her business is to look good so 1.5 hrs a day is part of her work. Body type comes from genes. What you do with what God provides comes from whatever you do with it through diet and exercise. Many folks may not have long legs but that doesn't mean the legs you do have cannot be the most awesome legs they can be. It takes work and that is the point the woman is making IMO. I've seen plenty of long slim legs that were unappealing because they have zero muscle tone. I've seen plenty of short legs that were gorgeous because the owner worked their ass off. Artemis 3 years I think her comment is stupid because her body shape is obviously due to her good genes. I am 37, have two kids, work hard (so hard that I cannot possibly find time to work out 1,5 h per day, but never mind) and although I am in reasonable shape, I will never have long, thin, cellulite free legs - that comes from genes!

The Golden Key International Honour Society (formerly Golden Key National Honor Society) is an Atlanta, Georgia-based non-profit organization[2] founded in 1977 to recognise academic achievement among college and university students in all disciplines. The "Controversy" section originally on this page has been removed.
Golden Key currently has over 400 chapters at colleges and universities in eight countries: Australia, Canada, India, Malaysia, New Zealand, South Africa, The Bahamas and the United States. Golden Key is the world's largest collegiate honor society. Membership into Golden Key is by invitation only, to the top 15% of college/university 2nd, 3rd and 4th year students and top performing US graduate students in all fields of study, based solely on the criteria of their academic achievements.[3]
Golden Key was founded by a group of undergraduate students and faculty members at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia, on November 29, 1977.
In 2001, the society modified its name to Golden Key International Honour Society to reflect its diversity and global presence. The spelling of "Honour" was utilized to observe the more globally accepted spelling.
Golden Key offers a number of services for its members. These include résumé and graduate program assistance, career planning and opportunities, leadership opportunities, networking, and member discounts. Golden Key offers more than $1,000,000 annually in scholarships and awards to its members along with a variety of other opportunities, both academic and career.[4] Golden Key's core values include community service and its chapters are involved in a wide variety of volunteer projects in their local communities such as Habitat for Humanity, Terry Fox Run, Make a Difference Day, and various literacy service opportunities.[5] The Golden Key International Honour Society was among 10 organizations to receive the In2Books Community Service Award in 2010.[6]
Golden Key is an active member of several organizations, including the Association of College Honor Societies, an American agency certifying college and university honor societies. Other organizations Golden Key is involved with include:[7]
Golden Key is governed by an international Board of Directors.[8] Its volunteer advisory structure includes the International Leadership Council, the Council of Advisors[9] and the Council of Student Members.[10]
|This section may contain original research. (October 2009)
|The neutrality of this section is disputed. (January 2011)
In non-profit corporations' fund usage, it is the recommended practice for a 65%/35% ratio to exist comparing "programs" to G&A and fundraising. Golden Key's ratio for 2008 was 84/16, in 2009 88/12 and in 2010 85/12; thus the Society is currently utilizing its funds in a way that is well above and beyond the "recommended practice." Golden Key publishes its annual reports every year in August and makes them available online. In addition, Golden Key is a certified member of the Association of College Honor Societies. ACHS is the nation's only certifying agency for college/university honor societies. Golden Key is one of 63 organizations that have met the high standards of ACHS.
Questions were asked over a decade ago about the amount of money spent on giving out scholarships. Articles in the University of British Columbia student newspaper the Ubyssey claimed to have examined the society's finances and scholarship practices. The Ubyssey noted that in 1997 salaries, management and general expenses totaled almost 47 percent of the total expenditures. The old information printed in the Ubyssey is outdated and not the practice of the Society today. The society is continually increasing their scholarship offerings and currently awards over $1,000,000 annually in scholarships and awards. All recent financials since 2008 have been made publicly available on their website and are audited by third party auditors. Golden Key has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau.
Each local chapter receives funding from Golden Key headquarters and may use this money as they see fit to run various events and community service projects. A variable amount (minimum $100) of additional funds are allocated for in-house chapter cash scholarships. The amount given for these local scholarships is based on the number of members inducted, which is then distributed by the local chapter in accordance with their determined criteria. Some criteria may include active participation in chapter service projects and meeting attendance. Most chapters divide their available chapter scholarships into three awards: one each for Sophomore, Junior and Senior students.
Honorary members are elected by Golden Key. They do not necessarily endorse the validity of the Golden Key organization or participate in its activities.[11]
Well-known honorary members include:[11]

Bush Obama sides with RIAA in P2P fight
Barack Obama's Department of Justice (DOJ) has sided with the Recording Industry Ass. of America (RIAA) in its lawsuit against a Massachusetts man accused of illegally downloading seven songs. Here we go again. The previous occupant of the White House also sided with the RIAA, in a similar case that ended in a mistrial - but …
A freebie a day keeps Monica away
The same media that deigned Obama able to run - particularly by attacking Hillary - is now getting freebies in the oval office? Well, they've owned it since 1981.01.20, so it only seems fair.
On a side note - I bet Obama, like Bill, asks if he's better than George was.
Get over it
He did the crime, he admits he did the crime, now it's time to pay up. The whole point of punishment for a crime is that the punishment should be a deterrent. Obviously the perp doesn't want to caugh up the money even though he's getting off easy. The fine should be the legal $10,000 per copy. The perps circle jerk means the punishment IS a deterrent, as intended. Now the perp should pay the full $10K per, plus all court costs and get a year in the slammer. That is how the judicial system should work when an admitted criminal tries to circumvent justice for their crimes.
Pointless comments from the White House
Who cares what opinion the White House has on the matter, whichever administration it is? It is a matter for the courts, and is not the business of the executive branch.
Shut your face, you moron
I think you'll find AC @ 05:20, that what concerns those still interested in the ephemeral nature of justice, not the spiteful revenge and petty schadenfreude the noble concept has been twisted into between your ears, is that the punishment should fit the crime, and when a private organisation - anyone see the parallels with an august British institute? - is entitled to demand sums of money the defendant couldn't make in their LIFETIME as restitution for a crime that is more misdemeanour, then everyone still left with an ounce of moral fibre should resist with every such ounce.
F***ing jackass troll.
@Get over it
You are an idiot. Copyright infringement is not a crime. Neither is it theft. It is a civil tort, and as such the onus should be on the complaining party to prove the amount of damage done. Since they can't do that - in fact the evidence is that they may benefit from it - there should be no damages.
Better start taking your meds again...
@i wonder
Sounds like you need to get back on your meds again. Denial doesn't change reality.
and your proof that Obama is even aware of this case let alone telling the justice department what to say is??
This is not news
Obama and Bush (Democrat and Republican) have always been "in" with the media corporations. What the US citizenship didn't realisen was that there were more than the two parties which they could vote for, as EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of them thinks "Well, they don't have a chance at winning, so I'll vote for the one of the two major parties which I agree with most (won't screw up the things *I* like TOO much)."
You can't get them out of this habbit either, as none of the media corps will cover parties without corporate sponsorship.
Anybody here heard of Ron Paul? Never received a dime from coprorations to fund his campaign. He made the most sense, but was shot down by the media. Obama is not the saviour everyone makes him out to be; He's still just another corporate whore.
Ron Paul would have been.
@ac re get over it
no the punishment doesn't fit the crime
he stole 7 songs which can be argued is approximately a cd
i bet you cann't find 1 person who has stolen a cd that has to pay a $70,000 dollar fine
i'm sure there are instances where a fine of $10,000 per digital theft is probably getting off lightly ( say hacking into a aircraft designers computer system and stealing designs for a new prototype as they would be worth well in excess of the fine) but for the theft of a 3 min audio file thats worth around $1 a $10,000 is excessive
@ Anonymous Coward
So what your saying is he should do time for sharing songs.... Fuck off I got stabbed outside my home and the "perp" got 3 months suspened and his fine wasnt anything like 10k infact i recieved no "damages" except this aching wound in my stomach. Slighty different from downloading the latest shit from the riaa.
Civics class for El Reg
Despite being appointed by the man (and has the DOJ shifted all that much since he came into office?) the legislative branch is a seperate entity, not a subordinate one, from the executive, which is the President's domain.
@A/C Get Over It
I bet its not $10,000 a song if he just stole a CD from a seven?
Barack Obama is a politician and he can be bought!
Shock, Horror!
Get over it people, politicians are all the same.
Just because Bush was a monster it doesn't make Obama a saint.
It's about time people realised this.
If Paris were President, we wouldn't have any of these problems
@I wonder
"The RIAA is responcible for destroying more american lives and families then any other terrorist group ever did."
There's a statement that could do with some evidence to support it
Why would it be a deterrent?
He will simply claim bankrupcy. He's a student. $500 would be worth more to him as he would pay it. tens of thousands would not be payable by him, he would simply claim bankrupcy and carry on. It will certainly cost more in legal fees for the RIAA
The Powers that be...
Bowing to big bussiness.. really... what a shock. Especially in the U.S
"Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." - Mussolini
*\. Same sh*t Diffrent Day! - Still flying the Flag for the Revolution.
So what has he actually stolen?
Seven pieces of intangible ephemera, and they want to sting him $150,000 for each.
So what's the penalty for going into a record shop and lifting a CD? (or even 7 CDs). Probably a $50 dollar fine and a couple of hours cleaning the streets.
...comes the new boss, same as the old boss!
...change you can believe in?
The more things change, the more they stay the same...I'm running out of cliches here.
Re: Get over it
Did you not read the article? The point is not whether he should pay for his crimes or not, but that he is been forced to pay to the RIAA whatever *they* deem is proper punishment. The defendant's position is that he should be processed duly, tried for his crime, and served an appropriate punishment by the courts--as the constitution demands.
The way things worked on this case, the RIAA served as police, judge and jury, and made all decisions regarding guilt and punishment by its own devices. The RIAA clearly is overstepping its position by acting as a de facto government agency. But even if this were allowed and warranted, it is still a single organization taking the roles of various branch of government at once.
@Get over it
Actually punishment shouldn't be a deterrent it should be in line with the damage caused. It's either a punishment or a deterrent. Tyrants tend to use deterrants (if you dare go against the state we'll cut your arms off/financially cripple you/chase you down for all time) "just" societies are supposed to use punishment (you caused damage and now you have to pay in some form to offset that damage becouse you did something wrong). The reason people shouldn't commit crime is becouse they've been brought up correctly and respect those around them.
Of course if someone does have a good sense of right and wrong, and they still commit a "crime" you have to start wondering why they did it and what the real problem is.
Also I don't think I know of many just governments anymore.
And neither the colours of the mans party or skin are going to change the fact that he's a president of the Incorporated States of America, the hymm sheet changes but the choire and church stay the same.
RE: Get over it
Is this an impressive use of irony or just random trollage?
Breaching copyright should be considered a civil matter causing damages not a criminal one requiring a punishment. This is the key argument in this case I believe...
Yup i agree its kinda sad to see he's been bought out over something as pathetic as this !!
i mean seriously
The president is involved in some court case involving a bloke who downloaded some music !!
I can see his cred ratings dropping very quickly !
Excellent....found the first Obama hater.
So now the internet will return to the usual business of slagging off Presidents based on ill informed internet gathered information.
And all is well with the world.
Re: Get over it
"The fine should be the legal $10,000 per copy. The perps circle jerk means the punishment IS a deterrent, as intended."
How do his actions prove that it is a deterrent? It hasn't retroactively stopped him committing the crime and the fact that people are continuing to break that law shows that it clearly hasn't worked as a deterrent to other people.
$150,000 per infringement is absolutely fucking absurd. It is plainly obvious. If I steal one song I am liable for up to that much? Suppose I shoplifted the equivalent (lets say 2 snickers bars) from a convenience store. You think the fine would be 150K? You think the fine would even be $5K? Hell no. This pisses me off so much I can barely contain myself. Death to RIAA!
Re: get over it
The entire point of the defence case is that the punishment is grossly disproportionate to the crime. I agree with them, and I'm prepared to say so without the convenient balnket of anonymity.
I suppose there is a reason you posted as that.
But, to my point. He may have admitted it, but not in court. Besides, fines that like are incredibly steep for a song that on itunes would sell for £1 approx. Perhaps they should be more in touch with reality?
It may not end there.
Since the case is still at the District Court level, any decision made in either way could well be appealed up to the US Court of Appeals and perhaps even up to the Supreme Court.
@get over it
so what? I'm all for tough punishments for breaking the laws designed to protect people (copyright doesn't really enter into this in this case IMHO*), but when it comes down to difficult to prove acts like getting a free mp3 off the interwebs, I'm not so sure. Add to that the fact that the ONLY reason the Arse of America is doing this is to make an example, not because this guy actually damaged their business. Plus, I very much doubt that the artists who made the tracks will see a penny of whatever ludicrous amount they think this guy owes them.
*When it comes to an Arse like the Arse of America, they really dont need any more money. They already have enough, IMHO if this guy broke the law then send him to jail. Fining him more money than he has will not solve the problem and will probably just piss him off and make him want to rip them off as much as he can in future. Also I don't think copyright is really the issue here, considering that the Arse didn't MAKE the tracks. If it was the artist themselves suing, I would consider that to be a copyright issue. These bastards just want as much money as they can screw out of anyone, whether thats selling them a cd or suing them for not buying a cd.
In the English courts, a deterrent of jail time or a fine is fine - questionable whether it works, but I guess the thought is good.
The thing with the RIAA, is that this deterrent money is going straight into their pockets. Not to the state, charity, etc.
"Press Release from RIAA and DOJ: From now on, everybody convicted will be fined $1 million. This may seem large, but it's a deterrent. Er... of course that money goes to the RIAA, regardless of how much they've really lost."
A little too harsh?
Anonymous Coward Posted Tuesday 24th March 2009 05:20 GMT ->
Shure he should pay. But isn't 10k a "little" too much? Let me explain.
One should pay to cover the damage caused. One should pay, too, a little extra - as punitive damages. So far, so good. But to charge 10k for each song is ridiculous AND unfair.
How much costs a CD? US$ 20,00? With, let's say, 10 tracks? Well, this amounts at US$ 2,00 for each track.
Now, let's say he should pay for each time a whole copy was downloaded from his machine. Wait, whole copy? Sure. No one will keep a half downloaded music.
So, how do we know how many "whole songs" where downloaded? We are talking P2P here. A handful of bytes downloaded from hundreds of machines. How about look to the upload/download ratio? This way we can make a reasonable assumption.
Good. Now, the punitive damages. Of course, the higher the damage, the higher the fine. I'd say... 3 times the damage caused - as a fine? How about? This way he would end up paying 4 units of money to each unit he "damaged". Good.
Now, tell me honestly: Do you REALLY believe each song was downloaded 1250 times from his own computer? Because i don't.
He should be fined? Yes. He should go to jail? No, I don't think so. It would be unfair and a waste of human resources. Is the fine value fair? Absolutely not.
But that's just my opinion - and not as "Anonymous Coward".
Punishment or commensurate restitution?
What were the seven songs worth? What rap-across-the-knuckles dollar amount would be a 'punishment'? $500 seems adequate. $5000 pretty darn steep. But no stolen song is worth $10K and upwards. It's like being hung for stealing a loaf of bread, and that sort of law has been considered draconian for a while.
The value of a down loadable electronic version of a song is the rough equivalent to that of a candy bar.
The usual punishment for nicking a candy bar is to be forced to apologize to the store owner and make restitution.
Therefore, Tannenbaum should apologize to the RIAA and give them their 7 bucks.
The whole point of Justice (which the legal system is _supposed_ to deliver, though in reality, it's just a system of legalities now, not a system of justice) is to make a punishment fit a crime.
By your calculations, sharing the average album to maybe no more than a few people (possible; nobody really tracks the numbers) should get you a year in jail (taxpayer's expense, probably costing you and I about £50k), and the judgement costing the sharer around £70k.
Now, the price for muggings, and violent assault is maybe 6 months in jail, and no fine (maybe a token couple of hundred).
The costs of that latter (to the NHS, and police and so on) are FAR greater, and actually concrete, than the _potential_ loss (which in reality comes to no loss, as research shows a strong correlation between increased file sharing and increased sales of physical media, and very few of those shares would have actually purchased blind anyway).
So, for real damage, and very real monetary loss, you propose that the penalties should be several orders of magnitude greater than something that does no physical damage, and is of unproven financial loss.
Way to go. Are you a lawyer perchance?
The Tombstone of Common Sense comes to visit again.
Shock! Horror!
Well, I will try very hard to contain my amazement that a top ranking US politician was bribed by a big business consortium to do it's bidding.
FACT: Justice is for the rich. Always has been and always will be!
@AC Get Over It
I'm with AC (05:20 GMT) these freetards need to be punished. As AC says "The whole point of punishment for a crime is that the punishment should be a deterrent." So for 7 tracks maybe a public flogging, for serial dowloaders - how about cutting their f'ing hands off. That'll stop them from downloading any more songs!
God save the RIAA
"Fortunately, however, the US executive branch can't tell the judicial branch what to do. It can only use its legal arm - the DOJ - to make its opinions known."
So the Obama-bashing is pointless in this context, and that makes 90% of the article pointless. Thanks for wasting my time!
If only there were a few more news articles that can actually criticise Obama for reasons other than not bringing world peace in the first few weeks of taking office.
Re: @AC Get Over It
What about those who train themselves to operate computers with their feet? Or their heads using pointing devices? What happens when computers can be controlled cybernetically? Taking your approach, it would mean cutting off organs vital to existence--in essence, a death sentence. What then?
you have to understand
The law was originally designed to punish COMMERCIAL infringers...those who set up their own CD copying business and were turning out fake copies of the original CD. The RIAA and their ilk were able to get this perverted to cover "downloads"; which aren't commercial in any way.
This is why this entire proceeding is so out of line and the RIAA behaviour is particularly egregious.
We should totally execute all people who steal ideas. Since ideas come from our brains, we should have their brains cut off.

|Panthers sign former Buccaneers tackle Walker
|Written by Admin
|Monday, 13 August 2007 10:08
Walker and Jenkins had a running feud for several years after Jenkins publicly criticized him following a game between Tampa Bay and Carolina in 2003.
The 6-5, 302-pound Walker, who spent his first six seasons with the Buccaneers, was released in the offseason. He started 73 of 75 games at right tackle and left tackle. He suffered a knee injury early last season and missed the final 13 games.
The 28-year-old Walker, who first worked out for the team last month, will provide depth behind left tackle Travelle Wharton and right tackle Jordan Gross.
The Panthers also waived defensive end Jason Hall and tight end Dan Murray.

Walking alongside cancer, by Linda White

MAY IS the best sailing
This year, we are especially happy to see May arrive, even though the boat is still up on the hard, sitting on jack stands in a boatyard in Lewisetta, for we have been on an unexpected--and unwanted--journey.
It began with my husband's cough in November, a cough like so many other people seemed to have at that time. This one, though, turned out to be different, as an X-ray followed by a CT scan eventually showed. There was a mass "suggestive of, if not indicative of" lung cancer, my husband's report read.
At first it seemed improbable. Impossible, in fact. After all, neither of us had ever smoked. And for years Larry had joked
Soon we began developing a new vocabulary: Needle biopsy. Mediastinoscopy. Interventional radiology. Staging. Adenocarcinoma.
And a new parade of people began streaming into our lives. Drs. Sherwood, Vaughn, and Chinault and their staffs populated our conversation and thoughts. December was full of appointments and procedures, and a gradual acceptance

Restaurant's actions leads to Albuquerque adding teeth to minimum-wage law May 13, 2014Posted by Ron Warnick in Restaurants.
KOAT-TV in Albuquerque reported the city likely will approve enforcement measures for a minimum-wage increase approved by voters in 2012.
The impetus to add teeth to the law was the Route 66 Malt Shop's refusal to comply with it last year. The owner's son also reportedly threatened an employee who blew the whistle on the restaurant's noncompliance and the restaurant was sued by the city for "a pattern of illegal and wrongful actions" (a copy of the lawsuit is here). The website for New Mexico court cases was down Monday night, so a status of that lawsuit wasn't available.
If a business owner in Albuquerque breaks the minimum-wage law under the city's proposal, it would be subject to a $900 fine, up to 90 days in jail and an extra fine of wages owed, plus interest.
Naturally, the Route 66 Malt Shop is against the city adding punitive measures for those who break the law. But this part of the television station's report stood out:
While the owner wouldn't agree to an on-camera interview, she said the new punishments will be a big blow to her customers. Hamburgers that cost $5 could soon cost $12.
Albuquerque law in 2014 requires that tipped workers be paid $5.16 an hour, or 60 percent of the city's minimum wage of $8.60.
If the restaurant pays the required wages, it's very difficult to believe it alone results in a 240 percent hike in the price of hamburgers when one factors in myriad other expense factors. Either the Route 66 Malt Shop's management has very poor math skills, or it needs a better accountant.

JUST OUT OF INTEREST…..The minimum rates of pay in the U.K. is about £6.40 per hour and just about to go up. That is about $9.80….Your staff are probably your highest expense, but without them, you probably would not be in business!!!! Some of the staff of my business were with the firm for more than 50 years….Now retired but still dear friends!!!!

Politics aside, there will be no winners if the restaurant closes. Certainly not the employees, not the city, and not the owner.

If her burger's were any good I would pay $12. I will stick to Blake's, thank you.

More and more PCs are using the wide-screen format. When an lecturer uses a wide-screen PC, a projector with a 4:3 aspect ratio cannot display the PC image accurately. To display a wide-screen image fully, you need a wide-screen projector. Also, for maintenance considerations, it's better to install projectors made by the same manufacturer. However, many manufacturers offer only a limited line-up.
A low resolution projector with a 4:3 aspect ratio cannot project the entire image from a wide-screen PC onto the screen. You also lose lots of detail.
In addition to WXGA models for viewing conventional wide-screen PC sources, the line-up includes WUXGA (1920 x 1200, 16:10) models that handle all of the rich data from Blu-ray Discs, and models that are compatible with the high-resolution WUXGA of the newest wide-screen PCs. The Panasonic lineup supports a variety of wide-screen sources.
Multi Projector Monitoring & Control Software is also available free of charge, so you can centrally manage all of the projectors connected to your LAN system.
Panasonic wide-screen projectors can display high-resolution, wide-screen images in full size.

Japan, 2000 (MIFF 2001, Animation Gallery)
Director: Rintaro
The new millennium. The final battle to decide the fate of humanity is about to take place Kamui Shirou's destiny has already been decided by the time he returns to Tokyo to face the ultimate challenge. The Dragons of Heaven, powerful and benevolent cosmic entities, stand ready to assist in the defence of the planet against opposing forces. The Dragons of Earth, seven grevious angels of legend, believe that only total devastation and the obliteration of humanity can purify the planet.
Kamui must navigate dreams and deceptions, judge true from false appearances and alliances in order to pick the right side on which to fight. He realises that his two childhood friends Fuma and Kotori, are the key to his decision, and possibly the outcome of this titanic struggle. X blends gothic visual flair and exhilarating supernatural action sequences to create a breathtaking Japanese anime adventure Based on the best-selling manga series by the ominously named Clamp, with stunning animation by Mad House (Nmja Scrolls).

Training Schedule & Checklist for Horses
This is the general schedule that I follow when training a halter-trained horse to carry a rider. It is based on principles of natural horsemanship as well as my own experience. The spreadsheet accommodates four horse over the course of six weeks of initial training. The 6th week's routine should be trained until the horse is suitable for an experienced rider, revisiting the earlier regimen every few weeks if needed. Another excellent resource is the book Horsekeeping on a Small Acreage: Designing and Managing Your Equine Facilities by Cherry Hill. This reference covers all the essentials from choosing an appropriate fence (no barbed wire!) to the right way to use each type of blanket. I found the sections on barn surfacing and budgeting to be especially useful as we plan for the right way to keep horses as efficiently as possible on a piece of our 20 acres.
