PEAK APPLE: Mystery upstart to hurl iLord from its throne 'by 2020'
Oh noes - Apple have failed to acquire a worthless customer because of the possibility that they might do something differently in the future (I assume you are implying that you will never buy any music again as you already have 14 GB of it - correct me if I'm wrong).
Who was the lucky company that you paid to get all of that music as I'd like to check them out - to see if they are any better than Apple.
Experian subsidiary faces MEGA-PROBE for 'selling consumer data to fraudster'
Re: Experian -- a disgrace in a democracy.
You are right - but the problem is with the banks giving out the loans not giving you that choice - not with the credit reference agency. However, loans would be more expensive without any sort of credit check as they would be far more risky for the lender because they'd only have their own records to go on.
Imagine if you were the bank manager and someone walks into your branch and says "I'd like to borrow £250,000 to buy a house" - would you lend them the cash? What if they have only just opened an account with you last week and you know nothing about them? How long should you make them wait? 6 months? a year? more?
Look, I'm not saying that the current system is perfect but no-one has yet come up with a better one. If you have ideas for a better system - let us know how it would work.
Re: Experian -- a disgrace in a democracy.
Sigh - you have just made my point for me - the information that you haven't given away (from your 35 year old credit agreement) doesn't show up on your report as you didn't sign a contract saying that they can have your data. The information that you have given away does. If you don't want to give your details to the credit reference agencies then don't - just don't expect anyone to lend you money. If you think that lending money to unknown people on the internet is a good idea (which is what the banks would be doing if they didn't use the credit reference agencies) then I've got a bridge I'd like to sell to you.
The direct debit system is a bill payment system - nothing to do with credit except that you can use it to pay back what you have borrowed.
Experian make no money from selling the £2 report that they have to make available by law (if you could do all the admin/fraud prevention checks for less than £2 then I know someone at Experian who would be very interested in talking to you). Yes, they do sell a monitoring service but it is up to you if you think it is good value or not.
Re: In the UK Credit reference agencies have special privleges
Yeah, but if you sign up to the mailing preference service you'll be flagged as such on their database and then your details won't be included when they sell a mailing list. You'd be surpised how strictly the data sharing is policed even between individual departments at Experian (I used to work there). Even different banks get different credit reports depending on what data they are allowed to see.
You already have the ability to correct/annotate your data (via a notice of correction), it's just that most people don't use it. You can also get your report for the princely sum of £2 (which is way below what it costs to process - given the number of anti-fraud checks needed before sending out such a report). This report also includes details of who has looked at your data, when they looked and why (with the exception of enquiries by the police for obvious reasons). I can see a good case for making this service free, but you can bet that the agencies would make it much harder to access this service if this were the case. Also, all of the credit reference data on UK people is held in the UK and can't be transferred abroad due to the data protection laws we have in this country. Getting the status of a credit reference agency in this country is hard and it can easily be taken away.
Google on the other hand has no such restrictions/obligations. If you think that they are the same then you are wrong.
Re: Experian -- a disgrace in a democracy.
You are right - they have no implicit right. You gave them the right when you signed the loan application (you did read the small print right?). If you don't want them to hold data on you don't take out any credit.
Re: In the UK Credit reference agencies have special privleges
They only have access to the full electoral roll for anti-fraud purposes. They use the same cut down down version for all of their marketing services as everyone else. And if you think they are as unregulated as wheel clamping companies you really need to do some research.

Dale Sveum calls Zack Greinke injury 'unfortunate'
BY TONI GINNETTI email@example.com April 12, 2013 10:42PM
Darwin Barney

Updated: May 14, 2013 6:16AM
Baseball fights such as the one between Dodgers pitcher Zack Greinke and Padres outfielder Carlos Quentin are rare and ''unfortunate'' but sometimes difficult to pre-empt, Cubs manager Dale Sveum said.
''I know Greinke [who pitched with the Brewers],'' Sveum said, ''and it's unfortunate. It seems a long time since someone charged a mound. It's unfortunate someone got hurt. It's just unfortunate with tempers and even history between players that sometimes it happens.''
Greinke, a 2009 Cy Young Award winner with a six-year, $147 million contract, could miss six weeks with a broken left collarbone. Quentin charged the mound after being hit by a pitch, and a bench-clearing brawl erupted.
''A guy you paid a lot to and planned to put out there every five days probably will miss six weeks,'' Sveum said.
''It doesn't happen that much anymore because of suspensions. But those things are such a spontaneous thing.''
First at third
Catcher Steve Clevenger came up as a middle infielder and played some games at third base in spring training, so he was ready for his first major-league start at third Friday.
''I take ground balls at third every day,'' Clevenger said. ''I feel very comfortable there. It's just getting the repetitions and comfort level. It's a reaction position at third — catch it and throw it.
''I thought it would take a little longer than the 10th game [to get a start]. I always keep my infield gloves broken in.''
Sveum started Clevenger at third to add another left-handed bat against Giants right-hander Matt Cain. He moved Luis Valbuena — also a lefty hitter — to second. Clevenger played seven innings and made two solid plays in the seventh.
Rehab time
Second baseman Darwin Barney heads to Class AAA Iowa on Saturday to begin a short rehab after suffering a deep knee cut on the last day of spring training.
''I'm looking forward to getting back out there, seeing some pitches,'' said Barney, who received his Gold Glove before the game Friday. ''I feel ready now, but it's just a matter of getting that first slide out of the way.''
The Cubs let Barney decide where to play, but instead of Class A Daytona or Class AA Tennessee, he opted for Iowa ''because I decided it's going to be cold here'' when he returns Tuesday.
Third baseman Ian Stewart also is expected to begin a rehab assignment shortly. Stewart is still at extended spring after suffering a strained left quadriceps.

07.May.2014 Howland to Coach Oregon State
Being told it is 99% done.
A Critical View of Oregon State Athletics
Being told it is 99% done.
Saw on Twitter from a BeaverBlitz.com writer that it's wishful thinking. Hope Angry's sources are more reliable (they usually are)!
Sincerely hoping this isn't true. I just remember Ben Howland teams with grind it out, boring games as the norm and talented players that jumped ship late in the era. Not a fan of this hire if it happens. Good luck getting players to come as well; he really only recruited well because of UCLA, not because of him. Rather a guy like Stoudamire who players would like more, has NBA connections, and could get those couple recruits instate as well as not leaving a sour taste in the mouths of guys. I could honestly see him as a Fred Hoiberg type guy.
"he really only recruited well because of UCLA"
You really show your ignorance with that statement
Right, that one comment shows my ignorance. Pitt was good, sure. I'll admit that, but the program left at UCLA (more recent example) was in shambles, the players were out of control, just a bunch of trouble. You're willing to accept that for more wins? I'd be willing to bet the players would be more out of control with Howland at the helm. Graduation rates and criminal offenses don't matter to some of you.
When I say who would be a good candidate, you want a strong recruiter who will work hard, play an exciting brand of basketball, and is young and hungry. Go ahead and get the guy who So Cal AAU programs hate; get the guy who was allegedly abusing players and letting character issues go if the team was doing better.
He's a good coach, sure. Probably going to do the quickest turnaround job. But get someone else and you might mess around and actually build a program that is a more attractive destination for future coaches.
I think you're putting too much stock in a "report" that had little factual basis. If we run down the integrity list of Dohrmann stories and resolve them with percentages as a value for truth it would look like this:
Minnie – 70%
tOSU – 40%
oSu – 3%
You need to take a long hard look at your single source for this caricature of Howland you've created in your head. If you want to reconcile it with anything other than truth and reality, then you're good.
There were some issues to be sure. Ironically, someone my father knows told him via hearsay that Howland thought he had another Bill Walton on his hands with Reeves Nelson. And he just didn't know how to talk to the kid to the point of extreme frustration. And he talked to the kid many many times. It was just not in front of everyone and their mothers. Some of us learn to praise in public and punish in private. And when the advice you're given is something like, "Do what Wooden would have done. He had Walton to deal with," you kinda get stuck being someone you're not treating a real situation with something that no linger exists.
In the end he wasn't "doing" anything to lose his team. But he was letting them go. He was just in over his head for that particular situation. He's not John Calipari or Phil Jackson.
Sue him.
I think we need something like this, if it's Howland I say go with it and give it 100% try and see if it works. He has run several programs and knows what needs to be done. I am not so sure it would bejust a stepping stone.
Having said that iI think Hollins and Porter make interesting candidates, although they don't have college experience they do provide NBA cred and coach good defense, so that would be a good fall back plan, better then giving Stoudamire a shot with no HC experience.
Love this hire if true. I plan on making a few games and as they improve will attend more. Be great if Howland can work his 3 years and the Dance magic at OSU. Think he will be the guy who does it once we hear this is official.
Wait a minute. Both Terry Porter and Lionel Hollins have reached out to OSU with interest in the HC job? screw Ben Howland. Pick up one of these guys and build some instant credibility. NOW!
Just saw this. Of course it's also from the same jackass that said Altman would win a NC in the next 4 years at Oregon and that Robinson would lead OSU to a conference title this season. https://twitter.com/wchoops/status/464239978243833856
In the recent past, we have read about the real and perceived failings of the ex Beaver BB coach. We have read slurs and slights related to the OS AD and how he has disrespected rather than kissed the feet of hallowed donors. We have read about a basketball assistant who abandoned ship during the critical week of recruitment to sell his self to the devil,m recruit the very same kids, for a lousy $20k on top of an existing $125k salary. We have read about petty and jealous football assistants who rather than give money back following a crappy season, are chirping with backstabbing gossip about how they were cheated out their much deserved bonus money. And then you read the back story about Brandin Cooks. It takes my breath away to read about his drive, his hard work, his focus and his overall desire to overcome the odds to succeed without having to go Machiavelli. I am only connected to Beaverland by a thread. But he makes me proud to be a Beaver follower.
And can we end the "nobody wants this job" bullshit? Both of these guys have been successful on the big stage. Hollins did a great job with mismatched talent at Memphis.
Seriously.. It also makes me want to punch the who would come to Corvallis to replace Mike Riley crowd square in the face. Basketball is in an awful position and there are worthwhile A- / B+ candidates raising their hand for the job.
Can you imagine what the football gig would solicit?
Money and length of deal are the current holdups. Hoping Angry is right and terms with Howland have been generally reached but can't be finalized until 5/14 because today's official job posting has to remain open for 7 days by state law.
That said Hollins is interesting and Porter also but I still take Howland I think. Will he take 5 or 6 years around 1.75 million? If he stays within reason we close otherwise Hollins will gladly take it.
Both probably take OSU dancing within 4 years. Howland probably best bet for advancing. Getting exciting and hope we get our press conference on 5/14 next Wednesday and don't have to wait til Thursday or Friday.
Howland seems the best and wisest pick. Very little chance of disappointing based on proven and repeated success building quality teams and programs. What he did at Pitt and NAU with quick turnarounds and 3 straight Final Fours at UCLA make him the frontrunner and who you have to give his best shot at the reigns. Too good of an opportunity to not secure. Really hope he is our coach next week as it very likely means OSU is returning to the Dance.
OT: Peter King has Bradin Cooks as his #3 pass catcher in the draft behind Sammy Watkins and TE Ebron. One of the few people to put him ahead of Evans, King's reasons includr speed, overall ability, and toughness:
Best of luck to Cooks tomorrow!
The Hollins mention is highly interesting. No offense to Terry. I loved him as a player, but as a coach he hasn't really shone. I do feel now that we've mentioned him we need to announce that his alma mater does indeed now have a basketball team.
Anyway, with Hollins, Porter and Damon all in the mix, all we need now is for Steve Blake and Damian Lillard to express interest.
I thought the Hollins suggestion the other day was a joke. If he's serious about getting out of the NBA and going to college, I'm all in for him. That would be not only be a very very major coup for OSU. We would get an awesome coach and mentor in the process.
I'd prefer Howland but honestly if we can't get him, Hollins would be my next choice. Menzies is probably off the table as he signed a contract extension with NMSU but he wasn't real high on my list anyways
Something to note about Tinkle: If hired at OSU, he most likely brings his son, Tres, along with him.
Here's his recruiting profile:
And his film:
"Guerrero said part of UCLA's problems stemmed from recruiting errors."
Exactly. 5* AAU candy ass babies who expect to get their way and throw a fit when they don't. Howland would do just fine in Corvallis peeps
Interesting the Hollins and Porter have reached out to OSU. If true, definitely interview them and get a sense of why they would want the job. Don't see guys jumping from the NBA to the NCAA. Those kind of hires would get the donors excited(I am a donor, though not one with any influence). If they come cheaper than Howland, they might be worth it.
Here's my order of picks
1. Howland
2. Hollins
3. Porter
4. Tinkle (He's only here because he's an established HC)
That's it. No to everyone else.
Porter wanted the job when we hired CR as well. He's gained a little coaching experience since then. I don't think it would be a bad option. I'm a little on the fence with Howland for reasons already stated. That's not a bad list though, and I could get behind any of those hires.
Hollins with Damon coming back home to be an assistant(and being groomed to eventually take over the head job with his recruits) is my A+ scenario at this point.
Hollins w/o Damon is next.
Porter( would get boosters excited and he actually coached well as a head coach until the gm forced him to coach a different style. Kerr wanted offenseive players but porter is a defense first coach)
Anybody else
Add Musselman to my list of ok hires. Background looks good and he appears to be a safe hire. Scratch Hollins due to his likely jump back to the NBA.
The interest that coaches are showing is good for OSU. If Howland is indeed the choice, they won't have to overpay since they can leverage the interest from the other candidates.
I expect the hire to happen late next week because of Oregon laws. One being they need to interview a minority candidate. Helps that Porter and Hollins called first instead of the other way around.
On the surge of articles about stoudamire, here's a quote from the Arizona papter "It's not microbiology," Hansen wrote. "It doesn't matter how old you are or how many dues you've paid — if you can recruit two or three really good players, if you can hire a lieutenant wise in the ways of X's and O's, you can win." Is he talking about Robinson or Stoudamire?
Listed to this interview with Connor Letourneau the other day. It's long but good imo.
It sounds like it will almost certainly be Howland. He can't go on the record obviously, but it was implied that it'll happen.
An interesting aspect mentioned in the interview was that BDC was likely pressured from outside the athletic department to fire CR.
Common sense was outside the AD?
Didn't we all agree that this was Coach Rob's year to prove himself? There were some people who claimed making the NIT would be enough. But I think the consensus would have been he makes the dance or he leaves.
I thought it should have happened with better timing. And the "If I'm fired…" quip burned me. But it was just finally time for him to leave.
I've come around on the Howland hire. The year away from coaching may be very beneficial.
Personally, I am a little gun shy because of the Tubby Smith experience here in Minneapolis.
He was burn't out from the expectations at Kentucky and although there was an immediate uptick in
the quality of the defensive play, the recruiting did not work out and the UGLY offensive play turned everybody off. My fear is that Howland is in a similar boat. They guy is obviously a very good coach and would bring some credibility to the program. He could get recruits to UCLA with the school brand, but can he get them to Corvallis with his less than fuzzy personality. Kids are different than when he started in Westwood eleven years ago. Does he have the drive it will require to recruit and develop the players needed to make Beaver basketball respectable? Tubby didn't, but probably worth a shot.
Tubby Smith made the NCAA tourney 3 of the 6 years he was there, and the NIT a couple more. His worst season was 17-14.
Similar boat? I'll take it.
Then you should be punchy happy when the football team gets to the New Mexico Bowl.
His best conf. record was .500(twice) and he won a grand total of one NCAA game. Team always got worse as the season wore on and his players seemed to regress skill wise the longer they were in his program. I agree with girl….I want more …….

However, your parents won't let you because there's only a little. If you really like something …
Can't seem to find any excitement for Howland; he will be an improvement no doubt but I just have this feeling that Stoudamire is gonna be a big time coach one day and I'd like it to be in Corvallis. Oh well, at least Robinson is gone
Damon Stoudamire has 2 fewer years of head coaching experience than Craig Robinson had when we got him. I'm sure Damon'd be able to recruit, but he'd really need an X's and O's assistant to help out so why would we want him as the head guy. I don't want us making a risky hire like that. Howland can recruit and coach.
What is the evidence that successful coaches have to be on their 2nd (or more) head job? Plenty of guys have great success at their first stop even in major conferences
Kevin Ollie-UConn
Roy Williams-Kansas
Jim Boeheim-Syracuse
John Caliperi-UMass
Tom izzo-Michigan State
Those are guys off the top of my head whose first head coaching gig was at a major school and each had plenty of success there.
I just don't buy the need for head coaching experience, I don't mind getting someone with some but making it a requirement limits your search far too much IMO. I just think it'd be a mistake to throw out the resumes of any coach without head experience without doing due diligence on them first.
You can't look at the successful coaches pool and then pick out the ones where it was their first stop. You have to look at the whole pool of coaches who are (or were) at their first head coaching job in a major, and then count the successful ones within that pool. I'd put good money down that that number is smaller then the number of proven successful coaches who continue success in a lateral move.
willing to bet but you don't know. Neither do I. I just don't see how eliminating an entire group of candidates based on 1 item gets you the best candidate. Howland might be the best candidate but I am far from convinced that he is the best simply because he has been a head coach.
I think a younger more energetic guy with the drive to prove they can be a great head coach is as good of a bet (if not better).
I'd love to see the numbers some time but I am far from convinced you have to find someone that has head coaching experience and am certain eliminating everyone who hasn't from consideration is foolish.
Eliminating all who have zero experience is not foolish. It's playing the percentages. That's a pretty wise thing to do when the percentages have kicked you in the nards time and again.
I'm assuming you're talking about assistants being hired on the high major level and not running a mid-major first… like Calipari ran a mid-major btw.
I've not run the numbers, but just looking at who is and isn't successful doing so, it's pretty intuitive. Those who come from a very strong coaching tree have a better chance at success. But the successful are also not a majority within that subset.
On the flip side, we have two assistants (Damon and Grace) who have not put in the work to get that mid-major job. Grace tried and failed at NAU a couple years ago. Yet we're supposed to believe he's qualified to take over a high major program when he can't go out and get a low major job? And that low major is only partially respectable because of the modicum of success it enjoyed two decades ago… under the guy who is being considered heavily for this high major job.
If Damon and Grace aren't applying for any and all jobs, then just applying for this one tells me they just want the easy track. And they respect the OSU enough to think we're easy. At least Musselman is going after jobs and getting people to talk to him. We know he wants to be a head coach because his actions and habits say so.
"If you say so…I'd love to see the proof that hiring assistants that haven't been head coaches works less often than hiring head coaches that were fired (Howland). If you have those numbers I'd love to see them."
You also didn't look at who they were assistants under for years before getting their first jobs. Williams was under Smith forever. Izzo… Jud. Ollie… Calhoun. Calipari was something of an anomaly, but he did learn the game from Brown and Evans. Boeheim was under Roy whatshisname, and after a long search for a coach they resigned themselves to their version of Jimmy Anderson. We should have been so lucky.
With spelling corrections…OT New Orleans trades up to take Brandin Cooks at 20.

The brush costs £3.99 which in comparison to a lot of similar brushes is really good value, especially if it performs well.
The blurb tells me that this is a powder/bronzing brush with soft natural bristles and is ideal for your handbag, although a powder brush is not something I tend to carry around with me. It has a short black handle, rounded at the bottom, which makes it easy to hold and manipulate so powder or bronzing powder is easily and evenly applied wherever it is needed. The bristles are apparently natural and they are very soft and the brush head itself is large and oversized.
When I load the brush with bronzer, it does pick u the bronzer easily and it seems to be very evenly distributed so I am not left with it all sitting in one area of the brush. This enables me to apply it to my face with no large and very obvious areas of colour, and I am able to blend the bronzer wherever I want it to go for a more natural look
To clean the brush (which I do quite regularly) wash the bristles in warm soapy water and rinse. Squeeze out any excess water and allow the brush to dry naturally.
The brush is really good value and quality and because it is not expensive, it is not going to break the bank! I have had mine for several months now and although I do wash and use it frequently, it doesn't seem to have lost any of the bristles. I assume that it must have done but it doesn't have that "bald" look, and bristles don't come out on my bronzer or my face.
For anyone wanting a reasonably priced bronzer/powder brush I would recommend this one.
Thanks for reading

Need a sure thing celebrity spotting restaurant
- s
- sparkareno Jan 4, 2010 07:52 AM
Ok, my sister & 15 yr. old niece are coming for a visit mid Feb. We possibly only have Monday night 2/15 to go to dinner (going to Palm Springs for weekend). Food is secondary (although it should be edible) to seeing someone famous. What is the #1 most frequented by movie stars restaurant? And we can't afford Cut. Bonus points if the star is someone under 50 that my niece would recognize.
You realize that is not possible (having a sure thing siting) I hope? All things considered you probably will have the best shot at a mid week late lunch at the Ivy on Roberston or dinner at Nobu in Malibu (although Winter time sitings are probably not as common as mid week summer nights).
re: ipsedixit
seriously? I live in Redondo Beach--do you mean the WF in El Segundo? Never see anyone in the south bay.
re: ipsedixit
i'm a regular shopper at the whole foods in el segundo, and i've never seen a star there.
maybe i'm not alert enough.
gotta buy People magazine and bone up on the stars.
re: westsidegal
Lots of Lakers and Dodgers there. Best Buy I've seen a few there too.
As far as restaurants, the Salt Creek Grill and Counter has some athletes during the weekday lunches.
Although I occasionally see a star at a concert, I usually see them when I least expect to. They might be grabbing a coffee at Coffee Bean on Sunset. They might be getting be getting a prescription filled at Rite Aid at Sunset & Fairfax. They might be getting some groceries at the Gelsons on Franklin. Angelyne can be seen tooling around in her pink Corvette. I ran into Paul Mazursky getting a cat scan at Cedars. One problem is that in these settings you sometimes fail to recognize them until they are gone (good for them). Surely, the best opportunity would be if you could wangle a way into one of the studio restaurants on their backlots (Paramount, e.g.). Another possibility is driving around downtown and looking for film shoots which happen every day. That said, the Ivy (or Ivy at the Shore) and Nobu suggestions make sense. For years, Larry King used to eat breakfast at Nate N Als. Not sure if his heart will permit him to continue this. Ironically, you might have a better chance of bumping into a star in the PS area. Or as the Kinks sang, "You can see all the stars as you walk down Hollywood Boulevard...."
re: mc michael
Most of those film shoots around LA that you see are actually commercials and rarely with someone famous.
re: PurpleTeeth
There are lots of commercials, but also films, CSIs, etc. Often you can tell by the signs with arrows posted on street light poles.
re: mc michael
true, but a huge number are commercials and driving around looking for stars seems like a long shot.
Servorg is right, there's no *guarantee* that you'll see celebs anywhere...except perhaps Spago, but the ones i've seen there are older and wouldn't excite your niece.
it's too bad she wont be there during the weekend. in all honesty the best bet is probably one of the weekend farmers' markets (SM, Brentwood or Hollywood) or the grocery store - the Brentwood Whole Foods is a common celeb shopping spot.
you might have luck at Katsuya (though that may be a bit pricey for you), or one of the Italian restaurants in Brentwood.
re: BubblyOne
that is a good idea. I would definately do Ivy for lunch (even though I hate it) but we won't be back from the desert in time so that's why I need a monday night dinner. Tuesday is Disneyland!
I'd second the Nobu Malibu and Ivy suggestions and throw in Koi as well (which is probably better for sightings that would matter to a 15 yr old)
The most frequent sightings I've had were at Osteria Mozza as well as the Grove/Farmer's Market during the weekday.
I've been to Musso Franks maybe 15 times since 1980, so I'm not exactly what you'd call a regular. But every time I've gone, I've seen "someone". The last time I went, about six months ago, I was saying to my wife that this was the first time I've not seen a celeb of some kind since coming here. As we left by the back door (our car was in the rear parking lot) we passed Johnny Depp catching a smoke on the back steps. My record was still intact. Do dinner in the large room with the bar.
re: trimtab
Alas, Musso is not open on Mondays.
re: Kevitivity
closed monday. Darn, that was a good suggeston too---I've been wanting to go there.
re: sparkareno
Yeah both times I have been to Giorgio Baldi, lots of A listers around. If you go the Malibu route and don't want to do Nobu, you could try Taverna Tonys.
I saw Bob Saget at The Border Grill once. A cheap place to go is to hang out at the Gelson's market at Ventura and Hayvenhurst in Encino. While there you can walk up the street and see the gate to Michael Jackson's parents' house.
re: Bookhouse
Toscana, in Brentwood, is a good celeb-sighting spot. Often see the Afflecks there (with their kids).
re: Bookhouse
i can't believe i didn't think of Hugos! one of my favorites, and i think i, too, am batting close to 1000 there. latest for me (albeit some time ago) were Owen Wilson & Tobey Maguire...not together :)
oh, and Urth Caffe on Melrose is another good one.
Capo is less expensive than Cut, but still pricey. Not sure if they open on Mondays.
Perhaps Koi or Nobu LA?
re: craigersou
Celeb-wise, Four Seasons Beverly Hills is always a high-percentage shot.
re: westsidegal
Brentwood Country Mart at lunch time, Giorgios at dinner, and yes, the Malibu Country Mart too.
I usually run into a celeb or two at my gym or the Hollywood Farmer's Market on Sunday which unfortunately, is not going to help you. Failing that, if your niece is into TV folks, I've run into quite a few TV actors at BLD on Beverly Boulevard which is where a lot of CBS shows are shot and I've seen most of the casts of Dancing With the Stars at the Whole Foods on Fairfax at one point or another.
For movie folks, the Ivy and Nobu aren't guarantees, but they're pretty good bets.
re: thursday
Great suggestion!!
not sure how houndy it is, but up at the Beverly Glen Circle in Bel Air off of Beverly Glen just south of Mulholland, i *always* see people in Starbucks and/or the pharmacy. from Ashton Kutcher to Orlando Bloom to Albert Brooks to Shannon Tweed... i've seen a bunch of people at the deli there too.
in the center foodwise, there's Le Chin Wok, Fabrocini, SHU, and Vibrato Jazz and Grill. the Chinese is Americanized, the Italian is decent, the sushi good but pricey, and Vibrato tasty and a good show, but probably not a hit with the teenager. the deli is decent as well.
i'd also go have lunch at Urth Caffe on Melrose or on Beverly Dr. both good spots.
and agree with the Ivy, but you could if not wanting to spend a ton, go to Newsroom Cafe across the street, then watch for the paparazzi to alert you of stars.
re: sparkareno
I work at a hair salon near 3rd and Crescent Heights (just between The Grove and Beverly Center.) I always have star sightings at "Little Next Door" (a charcuterie/ boulangerie/patisserie/restaurant) whenever I walk to my car. They serve fresh and organic Mediterranean-French faire, and is a much lighter choice than their sister restaurant "Little Door" which is right next to them (but is only open for dinner). Over the course of the year I've spotted John Mayer with his belle du jour, Denzel Washington and most recently Kate Bosworth. It's a much toned down spot than Ivy because it's located on LA's up and coming 3rd street so the ambiance is less, how should I say...anticipatory? I think most people (celebrities included) go to Ivy because they know people like to see and be seen. Little Next Door is the spot where people can actually eat something without tons of paparazzi and oglers hovering over their table. When you're done, take a walk to Joan's On Third (just blocks away) and you'll spot another celebrity lunching crowd. Both places have great food (Joan's might be better menu-wise), but the ambiance of Little Next Door and it's beautiful blue patio under a halo of Christmas lights has that quintessential upscale French thing going on. Both places are open in the evening, but most celebs are easier to spot during daylight...or under the glow of a well-lit patio:)
re: sparkareno
probably not what you had in mind, but saw Julia Roberts last week at Hal's on Abbot Kinney!
if sushi is of interest, i've seen so many young starlets at Koi and Katana... Hilary Duff, Lohan, Miley Cyrus...
re: Mr Taster
Jackie Chan is a regular at Sea Harbour (gets his own private room, however, and enters through the back via the kitchen).
re: ipsedixit
Years ago I saw Chow Yun Fat at VIP Harbor Seafood on Wilshire at Barrington - which for a brief period was the only good Chinese place on the westside. Last couple of times I tried it, it was awful, so I haven't been there now in about seven or eight years.
re: estone888
Did he eat with chopsticks in both hands (the way he always used two guns in his movies)? :-)
re: ipsedixit
Unfortunately, no. That would have been swell.
re: FranklinJefferson
i LOVE madeo. i read about it in LA Mag, and they had this bottarga dish we went there for. the papparatzi was outside, we nearly didn't go in, but so glad we did b/c the food was AMAZING. keep meaning to go back.
Your biggest handicap will be that your only free night is a Monday. The best place I would recommend is the Chateau Marmont. It really is a celebrity hang out to the highest degree. Several of the gossip mags have incognito beat reporters that cover that place on an ongoing weekly and regular basis.
re: Rimetra
that might be the place. I don't think we could stand going to Real Food Daily for dinner--we need our meat. :)
re: sparkareno
You can also see folks at Bar Marmont on Sunset and get a decent burger. Saw Mickey Dolenz at the bar. But even the types who are not stars there have an Hollywood air about them.
re: mc michael
"But even the types who are not stars there have an Hollywood air about them."
If the intent is to keep me from going here that statement will do it... ;-D>
re: Servorg
You need to know!
re: Rimetra
Just had a 19 year old in town this past Monday night who was looking to be star-struck as well. She went to lunch at the Ivy and surprisingly saw no one. She wandered Beverly Hills and West Hollywood to no avail. We checked out Bazaar later that night and nothing.
But dinner outside at Chateau Marmont finally yielded results in the form of Ed Helms. The Hangover being one of this girl's favorite movies, she was on cloud nine.
And while I'm mentioning it, the truffled risotto cakes were absolutely delicious. And though I didn't have any, I heard good things about the crabcakes as well.
Be sure to make reservations and request the patio, it's much nicer than being stuck inside. Also, make sure to look twice at everyone in a hat. You probably already see more celebrities on a given day than you realize.
re: hyacinthgirl
I think Chateau Marmont might be it---or Mr. Chow's even though it sucks
It isn't a restaurant, but I have seen somebody at Runyon Canyon every time I've been there. It is a nice hike with a great view of the Hollywood sign. Last week I saw BJ Novak from the Office, and Ali Larter. Also spotted Sharon Osbourne at the Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf at the Grove. Good luck!
I agree with the point made a few posts above that your main problem is that Monday is a bad day for dining out -- for celebrities as well as us normal folk. Worse yet, you are planning to do this the day after Valentine's Day.
So I would eschew restaurants per se, and just focus on casual hang-outs, like the Marmont patio, the bar at the Sunset Tower, Urth Caffe, etc. (If your niece is an Entourage fan, she will at least recognize Urth.) You could easily hit all 3 of those places, having a drink or coffee at a couple places and dinner at Urth, which will save you a lot of $$.
you could come to my house...I live next door to a very famous movie star but keeps it on the down low..thank goodness.
Malibu Beach Inn..off the beaten path but the dining is fab and there are tons of celebs but please respect their privacy while dining.
You could go for breakfast..its oceanfront too.
re: Beach Chick
Bad idea, terrible food, rotten service and have NEVER seen a celebrity in there! Nobu yes!!
re: MarlaPR
since my first response was removed..
David Geffen owns the Malibu Inn..he is a billionaire..he knows his food and doesn't tolerate terrible food or rotten service..
It is known as a hangout for many celebrities..but kept on the down low and privacy is respected throughout.
re: Beach Chick
By 2/15, the restaurant could be under water.
re: Beach Chick
"he is a billionaire..he knows his food"
Were this true of all wealthy and famous people, Mr. Chow and Crustacean would have gone out of business long ago.
Mr Taster
Some great recs here. I'll just add that I never fail to see a celeb or two at the Arclight Hollywood. You can dine in the cafe (not the best food, but -- just to keep this thread on chow related -- I enjoy the Portobello Tower and the French Dip). It's especially good celeb hunting there this time of year (pre-Oscars) because contender films are free for Academy/Guild members. It being Monday might actually increase the odds.
Nate n Al's... Been there three times. First time I saw Jodie Foster, then Courtney Cox and most recently John Voight.
re: laytonj1
but that's for breakfast, right?
re: sparkareno
Nate n' Al's is a Jewish deli, so they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
A few posters have claimed that celebrity-spotting will be difficult on a Monday night. I disagree. Many celebs prefer dining out on Monday nights, as they will have more privacy from the star-gazing "bridge and tunnel" weekend crowds. Does anyone remember when it was impossible to get into Morton's on Monday night if one was a mere mortal?
re: maudies5
Morton's on Monday Night was a frequent subject of Hollywood gossip about who had which table, who they were dining with, and endless speculation about what "deal" was or had gone down there. Never made there on a Monday, but occasionally had drinks on Monday night at The Ivy at the Shore which was often very busy.
So the question could be "Where is the Monday Night Hollywood Power Broker spot these days ?"
re: sparkareno
go to nate n al's for breakfast if your niece has a thing for Larry King (shudder). That sighting is 100% guaranteed!
re: NYCnowLA
LOL, my Nate n Al's celebrity spotting was the late Rodney Dangerfield.
re: NYCnowLA
lol--only if he is interviewing Zac Efron. I have only been there for b'fast so was wondering about other times.
And maudies5---yes I do remember mondays at Mortons!! I remember someone getting me in & I was on cloud 9. It was so much simpler to find these "stars" then.
re: sparkareno
It is just not possible to say at this place and time you are going to see a "star" - just random events really.
We were eating in the upstairs at Taylor's in K town once (feeling a little aggrieved for being banished to Taylor's equivalent of Siberia) when in strolled Bono of U2 with Kevin Spacey and Winona Ryder and they sat next to us.
Once at the old City Cafe on La Brea we were eating with our 15 month old son feeling kind of out of it and in came Demi Moore with Rumer (who was about the same age as our son) and sat next to us and we had a great time talking to her about toddler issues.
So, you just never know. These weren't the sort of places where you would send someone to look for stars, but chance encounters are always the most memorable.
re: Servorg
it sounds crazy, I know, but the Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset...we go on Fridays in the Tap Room and have seen every one from Nancy Sinatra (with her mother !) to Elton John. I've been told Paris Hilton comes in on occasion. we figure they go because they know they won't be bothered by papparazzi at the Hamlet
re: JPomer
And I thought Paris like In N Out (drive thru)!
re: Servorg
so lucky ducky!! kevin spacey's my fav actor.
I in no way endorse this restaurant, but a lot of celebs also seem to like Mr. Chow's in Beverly Hills.
Hal's and Primitivo on Abbott Kinney; Mr. Chow; Madeo; La Scala on Canon in BH (usually for lunch, but I always see someone there and chopped salad is delish). Also, I second a "hike" in Runyon--I think a sighting is guaranteed.
re: sparkareno
Yes, they have wonderful steaks.
I didn't bother with reading all of the posts below, so some of these may be redundant, but watching TMZ and spending time on TMZ.com will give you the best hot spots (Katsuya, Madeo's, Mr. Chow, etc.).
Ivy in BH along with Cecconi's in BH is a pretty reliable spot also these days.
Unfortunately, your niece is a bit young to hit these spots later in the evening, but some offer lunch. 1pm at Urth Cafe on Melrose is a good bet also.
No sure thing as a "sure thing celebrity spotting" unless you pay one to be there....but Nobu Malibu is a very good bet.
When we lived in Santa Monica in the late '90s, Chinois on Main was one of our very favorite restos. One day my former boss was in town and she loves Asian food, so my husband and I took her to Chinois for dinner. About 15 minutes after we were seated, Steven Speilberg and his wife were seated at a table for six, next to ours in the back of the dining room. About ten minutes later Tom Hanks and his wife were seated at the same table and then Nora Ephron and her husband arrived. My former boss was absolutely thrilled and teased me incessantly about having "gone Hollywood." Our guest was Barbara Bush and we were seated in the back because her Secret Service detail required it. We could feel the breeze from resto-wide head turnings all evening. A night I will never forget. I understand the food is still very, very good.
re: annabana
It's been a while, but I've seen Lauren Bacall, Steve Bocho and Barbara Bosson there on different nights. But the real star then was the food.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Grill on the Alley in Beverly Hills. I've never failed to see a celebrity there, though I have not been recently. The downside is that most of the celebs are older. Also, I think the Grill is more for lunch meetings than dinners.
My other "sure" thing has been at Spago in the main dining room. My last visit, we saw Leonard Nimoy and, when he got up, he was replaced by Jake Gyllenhall and (I think) Bryce Dallas Howard. So there was a spotting for multiple generations.
Another place to consider is Craft, since it is in the same center as the CAA building. There are a lot of agents doing business there. The only problem is that seating is arranged so that it is sometimes hard to get a decent look at people. On one of my first trips there, we had a 15-minute debate about whether it was really Oliver Stone at the table across the way. (The Coffee Bean downstairs from CAA sometimes is a good place to catch people.)
And whoever mentioned the Arclight Hollywood is spot on. Between the theater, the juice place and gym, there are a lot of celebs in that space. The problem is that if you eat in the cafe in the theater, you don't have a good view for celebs.
re: jenngen
It's like The Lady or the Tiger. She ain't gonna tell.
re: mc michael
She's not going until 2/15.
re: jenngen
I believe the original post said the relatives were coming in February. But I'm anxious to hear where they end up as well!
re: jenngen
lol--not coming until feb but if the weather will be anything like this week I don't think they will come at all.
re: sparkareno
Your best bet is to try to set up a tour or tickets to a show taping- otherwise a crap shot to say the least. I would also have your visitors follow some of their favs on twitter to see what they are up to. Katsyu in Hollywood or Brentwood is good. Beso as well. Mr. Chow's is a good suggestion as is the Ivy.
If for some reason you don't make it out to Palm Springs for the weekend and are around Sunday morning/afternoon, try the brunch at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. I've been there three times and had a pretty major sighting each time (i.e., Denzel Washington, Morgan Freeman, and Joe Fiennes). Mr. Freeman and I were waiting for our cars at the valet stand next to each other. Nice guy.
Osteria Mozza is still a tough reservation and there is a lot of star power going in and out of that place. Doubt you'd be able to get a reservation on short notice, but they don't take reservations for bar seating, so if you were determined, you probably could get in that way.
re: GuidoTKP
My friend was seated next to Lionel Richie at the Four Seasons for lunch. She took a ton of pics and chatted with him. She was thrilled!
re: Penne4YourThoughts
... And that's why we won't see Lionel Richie again at Four Seasons anytime soon...
He eats at CUT quite a bit, too, in case anyone else wants to interrupt his meal.
I'm all for spotting the stars while in L.A., and I'm sure they do expect to be recognized in public, but taking "a ton of pics" when they're simply trying to eat?
re: New Trial
Well after all that, my sister got sick and we had to cancel our reservations (we had Madeo's, Mr. Chow & Chateau Marmont). We did however see Pam Anderson in a store in Rancho Mirage and they were filming CSI Miami on the beach when we went so I guess that will suffice. Thanks to everyone who took the time to respond.
re: sparkareno
Gelson's in Pacific Palisades.
Chateau Marmont restaurant, Starbucks in Malibu shopping center, Ivy at the Shore, Tra di Noi and Neptune's Net in Malibu...
my friends and I call them star see's there are lots of sure bet places to have them in LA. M Cafe de Chaya at lunch is always full of actors and musicians, always. The whole foods on fairfax and santa monica gets a young actor crowd, you just gotta remember, these people aren't on nine to five schedules and eat and shop at off hours. Before it became the most uncool place on the planet, the Buffalo club was always a guarantee for high watt star power, but i think those days are gone. Depending on the time of year, even the most mundane places are full of stars; once I saw David Bowie and Iman coming out of the frozen yogurt place on santa monica in west hollywood that's now a crepe place. Years ago, I used to own a store that was a magnet for stars. One Christmas eve, right before closing time, I looked up to see Drew Barrymore, Rob Lowe and Donovan Leitch chatting like they were at a cocktail party. They'd not come in together but, of course, knew each other and hung out for an hour or so as I counted out my till before closing. That said, I always see stars at OK, a store on third street.

Before there was online dating, Betsey Chesler met her husband through a dating service. Now he's her ex-husband. "So, I know how notto match people," Chesler likes to say. When she decided to start her own online dating service, one of the only ones that also offers video dating online, she researched the field to find what the authorities -- psychologists, marriage counselors, divorce lawyers -- had to say about personality traits and compatibility. Then she developed a series of questions. On the face of it, these questions -- about religion, education, et cetera -- seem pretty basic. They're quick and easy to answer, except maybe the one that asks you to write an essay about your favorite subject -- you. But Chesler says it's what her custom-designed software allows her to do with the answers that makes the difference. Members are told not only with which other members they match up but how close a match -- percentagewise -- each one is.

We've compiled a photo comparison of the F20 1-series 5-door hatchback versus its closest predecessor model – the E87 1-series 5-door hatchback model (non M-sport and facelifted). For your reference, compared to the E87, the F20 body is 85 millimeters (3.35 inches) longer, wheelbase 30 millimeters (1.18 inches) longer, front track 51 millimeters (2 inches) wider, and rear track 72 millimeters (2.83 inches) wider.
Full tech specs for the 116i, 116d, 118i, 118d, and 120d, as well as a slew of additional studio processed wallpaper images have been updated to the official F20 info thread. See inside.
Here is the first video of the F20 1-series 5-door hatchback. It's a short one, but it's the first live motion clip of the next generation BMW 1-series, and first live comparison to its predecessor, the E87 hatchback. As you watch the video, keep in mind however that the E87 is an M-sport model, so the comparison isn't exactly apples-to-apples so to speak.
This particular red F20 is the "Sport Line" model. Compared to the E87, the body is 85 millimeters (3.35 inches) longer, wheelbase 30 millimeters … CONTINUED
OFFICIAL RELEASE: BMW 1-series Hatchback (F20). Here is all the just-released official information and media for the F20 1-series hatchback. Full gallery and press release INSIDE.
Now that the first photos of the F20 1-series have hit the web, we've put together a photo comparison of the F20 1-series hatchback versus its closest German rivals – the Audi A3 hatchback and VW Golf.
We've updated the BMW F20 1-series gallery with nearly 50 photos. We'll have the full tech details posted for you this weekend, but enjoy the preliminary info and full set of pics in the meantime!
Here they are, the very first photos of the F20 BMW 1-series! The full press release is expected this weekend, so stay tuned!
Seen here are "Sport Line" and "Urban Line" models. Compared to the outgoing 1-series hatchback, the F20 has grown by 8.5 centimeters to 4.32 meters in length. Wheelbase grows by 1 inch. It retains its 50:50 weight distribution.
Base engine in the BMW 116i with a newly developed 1.6-liter turbo gasoline engine that makes 100 kW/136 hp. For the same displacement, the 118i gets 125 … CONTINUED
Even clearer updated photos of the F20 1-series M Sport front fascia. The different angles show us just how aggressive the M sport bumper actually is. Check out the new set inside….
We bring you the very first look at the upcoming F20 1-series M-sport front end on a 135i hatchback, and it's undoubtedly the most aggressive M-sport front bumper we've ever seen from BMW, owing to the integration of air curtain bodywork and deeply inset air inlets to direct more airflow to the air curtains.
The rest of the M-sport package has not yet been affixed on this car, but expect the usual set of M-sport wheels, rear bumper, sideskirts, and of course interior M-sport bits.
Besides the current … CONTINUED
We've just seen the start of Nurburgring testing for the 1-series on 3/28, and now spyshots.nl brings us some more photos of the car, from a lower angle. Theres nothing substantively new in these photos, just additional views from different angles. Enjoy!
Update: This image has been confirmed as a render based on a real BMW image, so we are essentially seeing the real new look of the 1-series. Autobild leaks the new BMW 1er Sporthatch. This photo certainly looks like the real deal, especially comparing to the spyshots and everything we know about the car, I believe this to be real!!

Avoid dairy products high in fat. Low fat yogurt would be fine.
Adequate fluid intake is important before and during the game to avoid dehydration... but again, too much is not good medicine. In addition to water, sport drinks or fruit juices are good choices.
If your practices or games are late in the afternoon, right after school, make sure you eat breakfast and lunch that day. Some fruit like bananas or oranges one hour before the practice or game would be a good booster.

Re-enfranchising the Disenfranchised: Voting Rights in America
This panel of scholars will examine the multifaceted history of voting rights of African Americans, focusing on the political, sociological, and legal implications of efforts to restrict and deny access to the vote—the fundamental instrument of democracy. Of particular interest will be an exploration of the effects of incarceration on the black community and the relationship between criminal records and voting rights. Yet by devoting equal time to the achievements of African Americans, this discussion will also emphasize and celebrate the civil rights initiatives that led to the expansion of voting rights, which in turn led (at least partially) to the election of the first African-American president of the United States. The panelists will conclude by offering perspectives on the possibilities for the continuation of re-enfranchisement movements.
