The public also has an interest in being informed about matters of public importance that may only see the light of day through the cooperation of sources who will not speak except on condition of confidentiality. The role of investigative journalism has expanded over the years to help fill what has been described as a democratic deficit in the transparency and accountability of our public institutions. There is a demonstrated need, as well, to shine the light of public scrutiny on the dark corners of some private institutions. In appropriate circumstances, accordingly, the courts will respect a promise of confidentiality given to a secret source by a journalist or an editor. The public's interest in being informed about matters that might only be revealed by secret sources, however, is not absolute. It must be balanced against other important public interests, including the investigation of crime. In some situations, the public's interest in protecting a secret source from disclosure may be outweighed by other competing public interests and a promise of confidentiality will not in such cases justify the suppression of the evidence.
Protection for journalists [JURIST news archive] continues to be a worldwide concern. Last month, Germany announced plans to enact legislation [JURIST report] meant to increase freedom of the press. In February, the Icelandic Parliament [official website, in Icelandic] began considering measures [JURIST report] aimed at increasing protections for journalists and promoting freedom of speech and transparency in government. Last December, the US Senate Judiciary Committee [official website] approved a bill [JURIST report] that would protect journalists' abilities to shield sources in federal court proceedings. Reporters Without Borders [advocacy website] ranked Iceland number one in press freedom in 2009 [2009 rankings], while ranking Germany eighteenth, Canada nineteenth, and the US twentieth.
The only apparent avenue of redress for plaintiffs' claimed injuries would be injunctive or declaratory relief against all possible President-elects and the President himself. But such relief is unavailable. Beyond the fact that plaintiffs fail to name future President-elects or the President in their suit, plaintiffs cannot sue all possible President-elects for the same reason they cannot sue all possible inaugural participants; as discussed, general injunctions are outside the judicial power. With regard to the President, courts do not have jurisdiction to enjoin him ... and have never submitted the President to declaratory relief.
In March, The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit ruled in another suit brought by Newdow that a teacher-led recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools does not violate the constitution [JURIST report]. The Ninth Circuit also upheld the use of the phrase "In God We Trust" on currency. Newdow originally sued to have the phrase "under God" removed from the pledge in 2000. The Ninth Circuit ruled in Newdow's favor in 2002, but the Supreme Court dismissed his case [JURIST report] in 2004 for lack of standing. Newdow also filed suit to ban the recitation of a prayer during the 2005 presidential inauguration, but that claim was rejected [JURIST reports].
Turkey has faced several obstacles as it works toward membership in the EU, including opposition to the constitutional reforms, its human rights record, its stance towards political parties, and tension [JURIST news archive] between the AKP and the military. Last month the president of Turkey's Supreme Court [official website, in Turkish] Hasan Gerceker [official profile, in Turkish] declared that the proposed amendments threaten separation of power and judicial independence [JURIST report]. Last year, the Constitutional Court of Turkey voted to ban [JURIST report] the Democratic Society Party (DTP) after finding the party had contacts with the Kurdish Workers Party (PKK) [GlobalSecurity backgrounder], a separatist, designated terrorist group. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan [official profile; in Turkish] has sought to end Turkey's 25-year conflict [BBC report] with the PKK, which has been a major impediment to Turkey's bid to join the EU.
In 2008, several Russian gay rights activists were arrested [JURIST report] by police in Moscow for holding events commemorating the 1993 law that put an end to government prosecution for homosexual activity in Russia. It was the third consecutive year Moscow Pride [advocacy website] held events around the city to elude officials attempting to enforce a local ban on gay pride parades [JURIST report] that was put in place due to fears of violence. Other celebrations took place at a nearby monument to nineteenth-century Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky, widely considered to have been a homosexual. Demonstration organizer Nicolas Alexeyev said the monument was chosen to "pay tribute to a person who was gay himself," but noted that the celebration had to be concealed because of societal disapproval for and "repressive" laws against granting parade permits to gay-rights activists.
Last month, the Kenyan Parliament [official website] unanimously approved [JURIST report] the draft constitution. The draft includes several significant checks on presidential authority, including a requirement that presidential appointees face parliamentary confirmation and the removal of presidential appointment of judges. Members of Parliament receiving Cabinet positions will also have to relinquish their legislative seats. The first draft of the constitution was unveiled [JURIST report] in November. The changes are intended to reduce the widespread injustice throughout the country, and specifically address issues that led to violence following the 2007 presidential elections [JURIST news archive].
Last week, Khadr refused to attend preliminary hearings relating to his pending murder and terrorism charges [JURIST reports], claiming he was being mistreated by military guards. The hearings were being held in order to determine if statements made by Khadr during his interrogation should be suppressed [JURIST report]. They were to be the last preliminary hearings before his US military commission [JURIST news archive] trial in July. Khadr's lawyers filed an emergency motion [JURIST report] in February in the Federal Court of Canada [official website] challenging the decision of the Canadian government not to seek his repatriation from the US [JURIST report]. The Supreme Court of Canada ruled [JURIST report] in January that the government was not obligated to seek Khadr's return to Canada despite having violated his rights under section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms [text].
Last month, two other SEALs were acquitted in connection with the alleged assault. Unlike McCabe, Petty Officer 1st Class Julio Huertas and Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Keefe were tried in Iraq so that they could confront their accuser. Detainee abuse has been a major issue during the Iraq war, and the case against the three Navy SEALS has been seen by some critics as an attempt to compensate for other abuses like those at Abu Ghraib [JURIST news archive].
Among the examples Lieberman cited was the recent arrest of accused Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad. Shahzad, a Pakistani-born US citizen has been charged [JURIST report] with five counts, including attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, attempting to kill and maim people in the US, using and carrying a destructive device, transporting an explosive device, and attempting to damage building, vehicles, and other property. Shahzad's arrest has stirred up controversy [Capitolist report] over whether terrorism suspects should be read Miranda rights. Lieberman also cited the December arrest [JURIST report] of Nigerian national Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, accused of attempting to set off an explosive device on an airplane bound from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day. Abdulmutallab, who was also read his Miranda rights, has entered a plea of not guilty [JURIST report].

American Health Care Is Top-Notch
Docs Out of Step with Pap Testing
How Do Doctors Deal with Drug-Seeking Patients?
Is Your Doctor Giving You Your Test Results?
Are Oprah and Medical Advice a Good Mix?
Doctors are fitter, leaner, less likely to smoke and eat meat, and more likely to live longer than their non-physician peers. They're also more likely to drink, albeit moderately, abuse prescription medication, have higher stress levels, and commit suicide.
These are the findings of two important, multi-decade studies on the health of doctors: the Women Physician's Health Study (WPHS) and the Physician's Health Study (PHS).
WPHS surveyed health practices of 4,500 women physicians in the U.S. and Canada during the 1990s. It examined health areas, such as diet, exercise, vitamins, and medication use.
One surprising finding was that women doctors were more likely to use hormone replacement therapy (HRT) than women generally, despite significant concerns about the effect of HRT on heart disease and breast cancer. About 64% of post-menopausal ob-gyns used HRT while only 18% said they'd recommend it to their patients.
Why? It's possible that the female doctors in the study exercised greater latitude in self-treatment. Those closer to menopause actually enjoyed some health benefits from HRT for a limited period of time. Women physicians may also have been more comfortable assessing their personal risk and detecting potential complications in themselves than in their patients.
Women doctors were also more likely to use birth control pills. Not surprisingly, 50% of female ob-gyns opted for the pill compared to 29% of non-M.D. women. More than one-half of ob-gyns used the pill for eliminating periods all together – so called menstrual suppression. They were also more likely to use IUDs and the morning-after pill than the average woman.
PHS began in 1982 for the purpose of testing the benefits and risks of aspirin and beta carotene in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The first phase of the study showed the benefit of low-dose aspirin in reducing the risk of heart attack. Beta carotene had no observable effect on heart health.
The second phase of the PHS study, starting in 1997, examined the benefits and risks of supplements in the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease, cancer, age-related eye disease, and cognitive decline. Vitamins E and C were found to have no preventive effects on major cardiovascular events or cancer. The effects on eye disease and cognitive function are still being analyzed. Studies on the health impact of multivitamins continue.
More than half of doctors surveyed exercised at least 3 times per week for 30-60 minutes. And those who exercise and maintain a normal weight are more likely to counsel their patients about proper diet and exercise. Only 2%-4% of physicians smoke compared to 24% of the population.
Physicians also are more likely to take preventive care measures. Women doctors are more likely to have mammograms than the regular population; 86% of those aged 48 and over have had a mammogram during the past 2 years compare to 70% of U.S. women. They were also more likely to use sunscreen.
Male physicians had lower cholesterol levels on average compared to their non-M.D. peers. They were also less likely to have hypertension and more likely to consume fish on a regular basis; 43%of male doctors ate fish 2-4 times per week and 11% ate fish 5 times per week, which was associated with at 37% reduction in the risk of dying from colon cancer.
One area where doctors fall short, compared to their patients: They're less likely to have a primary-care doctor. Only 50%-70% of physicians have one, compared to 86% of Americans. They're more likely to rely on colleagues or self-treat. A survey of residents in training found that 52% reported self-prescribing medications.
So American physicians, while healthier in some ways than the general population, don't always comply with their own advice to patients. The reasons for this are not always clear, but they're more likely to influence their patients if they follow their own advice.

American Health Care Is Top-Notch
Americans enjoy extraordinary medical care – this often gets lost in all the health care reform debate. Sure, we spend a lot of money on health care. In fact, we invest more than 80%of the world's research and development budget in pharmaceutical and medical devices. And we spend 17%of GDP on medical care. But the returns – both in high-paying jobs for hundreds of thousands of American workers and in medical breakthroughs – are the envy of the world.

How Do Doctors Deal with Drug-Seeking Patients?
Michael Jackson's personal doctor, Conrad Murray, is being investigated by authorities for possible manslaughter charges because he prescribed drugs to the pop star. Jackson may have been taking medication for pain, but this ongoing saga sheds light on the doctor-patient relationship and, more specifically, whether doctors should exercise greater restraint when dealing with drug-seeking patients.

Is Your Doctor Giving You Your Test Results?
Many of us have an endured endless wait to learn of medical test results. But what are the odds the test result was abnormal – but you might never hear about it? Pretty small, as it turns out. A recently published study shows that patients were informed of abnormal test results about 93% of the time. However, failure rates varied widely in some practices – from 0% to 26% – and unreported results could potentially result in serious, even lethal illness.

E PLURIBUS UNUM, An American National Song. Though many and bright are the stars that appear, In that Flag by our country unfurled; And the stripes that are swelling in majesty there, Like a rainbow adorning the world: Their lights are unsullied as those in the sky, By a deed that our Fathers have done; And they're leagued in as true and as holy a tie, In their motto of "Many in One." From the hour when those patriots fearlessly flung, That banner of starlight abroad; Ever true to themselves, to that motto they clung, As they clung to the promise of God; By the bayonet traced at the midnight of war, On the fields where our glory was won; Oh! perish the heart or the hand that would mar, Our motto of "Many in One." 'Mid the smoke of the contest - the cannon's deep roar, How oft it hath gathered renown! While those stars were reflected in rivers of gore, When the cross and the lion went down; And though few where [sic] their lights in the gloom of that hour, Yet the hearts that were striking below, Had God for their bulwark and truth for their power, And they stopped not to number the foe. From where our green mountain tops blend with the sky, And the giant St. Lawrence is rolled, To the waves where the balmy Hesperides lie, Like the dream of some prophet of old; They conquer'd - and dying bequeath'd t to our care, - Not this boundless dominion alone - But that Banner, whose lovliness [sic] hallows the air, And their motto of "Many in One." We are "Many in One," while there glitters a star, In the blue of the heavens above; And tyrants shall quail 'mid their dungeons afar, When they gaze on that motto of love. It shall gleam o'er the sea, 'mid the bolts of the storm, Over tempest, and battle, and wreck; And flame where our guns with their thunder grow warm, 'Neath the blood on the slippery deck. The oppress'd of the earth to that standard shall fly, Wherever its folds shall be spread; And the exile shall feel 'tis his own native sky, When its stars shall float o'er his head. And those stars shall increase till the fulness of time, Its millions of cycles has [sic] run - Till the world shall have welcomed its mission sublime, And the nations of earth shall be one. Though the old Alleghany may tower to heaven, And the Father of Waters divide, The links of our destiny cannot be riven, While the truth of these worlds shall abide. Then oh! let them glow on each helmet and brand, Though our blood, like our rivers shall run; Divide as we may in our own native land, To the rest of the world we are one. Then up with our flag, let it stream on the air, Though our fathers are cold in their graves; They had hands that could strike, they had souls that could dare, And their sons were not born to be slaves. Up, up with that banner, where'er it may call. Our millions shall rally around; A nation of freemen that moment shall fall, When its stars shall be trail'd on the ground. Louis Bonsal, corner of Baltimore and Frederick Sts.

[JURIST] Thousands in Taiwan are expected to protest China's proposed anti-secession law [JURIST report] in demonstrations Sunday. The proposed legislation authorizes China to take military action if Taiwan declares formal independence from the mainland. In Saturday's the opening spring session [Xinhua report] of China's parliament, the National People's Congress [official Third Session website in English], Chinese Prime Minister Wen Jiabao [BBC profile] re-emphasized the importance of the legislation and the reunification issue. Taiwan has been the seat of China's Nationalist government since its 1949 defeat by mainland Communist forces led by Mao Tse Tung. Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian has threatened to enact an "anti-annexation" law and hold a referendum [JURIST report] if the mainland anti-secession bill passes. A vote on the bill is expected within a week. VOA has more.
[JURIST] The Dutch Parliament's lower house [Parliament official website, English version] passed a new terror bill Friday that will lower the level of evidence needed to hold a terror suspect, allow the government to hold suspects for up to two weeks without filing charges, and require suspected terrorists to regularly report to authorities. The bill, proposed by the Dutch Justice Ministry [official website, English version], will allow authorities to use presently outlawed techniques such as infiltrating terror cells for undercover operations, telephone taps and entrapment tactics. In addition, prosecutors will be able to approve the use of spot searches of people and cars in public places under suspicion of a terror attack plot. The proposed legislation is in response to a recent string of terrorist activity, including the November murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a Muslim radical [BBC report]. The bill must now pass the upper house. AP has more.
[JURIST] A Berlin administrative court Friday dismissed the title and reparation claim of Germany's largest department store operator, and ordered the government to pay compensation directly to the heirs of a Jewish family that owned property taken by the Nazi government 70 years ago. The property in question once belonged to Jewish-owned retailer Wertheim, and is now owned by KarstadtQuelle [corporate website]. In 2001 Germany's restitution office [official website in German] ordered the government to pay restitution to surviving Wertheim family members. In its claim, KarstadtQuelle argued it should receive part of the payments because it acquired the family's business in 1994. The court ruled that KarstadtQuelle has no title to the land or its proceeds - including restitution payments. Under the Federal German Restitution Law [backgrounder and text], victims of Nazi persecution that resulted in the lose of life, freedom, or property have the right to file claims for compensation from the government. KarstadtQuelle released a statement [official website, English] late Friday that it will file an appeal to the German Federal Administration Court [courts overview]. There are currently 45,000 Nazi reparation cases pending in Germany. The Houston Chronicle has more.
[JURIST] Coincidentally on the thirty-fifth anniversary of the entering into force on the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty [UN Secretary General statement], Iran said Saturday that it was unwilling to put a permanent end to enriching uranium and warned that further US-led efforts to push Iran before the UN Security Council would result in a more unstable Middle East. Top Iranian nuclear negotiator Hassan Rowhani [BBC profile] insisted that efforts to permanently extend Iran's temporary halt to uranium enrichment would negatively effect energy supplies from the Middle East and damage the European economy. Read the news release in English from the Islamic Republic of Iran New Agency (IRNA). Washington accuses Iran of secretly trying to build a nuclear bomb, a charge Iran denies. AP has more.
[JURIST] American women delegates joined their counterparts from around the world meeting at the United Nations [UN conference summary] Friday to reaffirm a blueprint aimed at supporting global equality for women. The reaffirmation of the goals of the 1995 Beijing World Conference on Women [UN website] came after the US backed down [JURIST report] from an initial proposal to include an anti-abortion amendment. When reassurances were provided to the US that terms such as "reproductive health services" and "reproductive rights" did not constitute support, promotion, or advocacy of abortion, the declaration was unanimously adopted. Though representatives from many countries felt that the abortion issue was a distraction from more important topics in the economic, political, and educational lives of women, UN Status of Women Commission Chair Kyung wha-Kang was grateful for the "spirit of cooperation" in the final voting. AP has more.
[JURIST] A soldier from the Indiana National Guard [official website] will be court-martialed for the murder of an Iraqi police officer, the US Army said Friday. Corporal Dustin Berg is accused of killing Hussein Kamel Hadi Dawood Al-Dubeidi near Baghdad in December 2003 and then shooting himself. Berg, who received a Purple Heart [award criteria] for his injuries, initially claimed to have been shot by a man in a red turban and a white shirt before changing his story multiple times and eventually admitting to the killing. Berg has been charged [JURIST report] with murder, lying about the incident, and wearing an unauthorized award. His court-martial follows a previous Article 32 hearing Uniform Code of Military Justice text] of his case. AP has more.
[JURIST] In response to a Freedom of Information lawsuit [ACLU backgrounder and materials] by the American Civil Liberties Union [official website] over prisoner abuse in Iraq, the US Army released 1200 pages of documents on Friday. The documents cover 13 investigations into prisoner abuse that resulted in no charges due to insufficient evidence. At the center of the controversy is a DVD entitled "Ramadi Madness," [ACLU press release] a compilation of recordings made by a unit of the Florida National Guard [official website] posted to Iraq in 2003 and early 2004. Though the video itself was not released, Army documents decribe "inappropriate rather than criminal behavior," including kicking an injured Iraqi soldier and manipulating the dead body of an Iraqi killed after running a checkpoint. Over 100 investigations remain open in relation to Iraq prisoner abuse. The ACLU says it will post the released document to its website on Monday. AP has more.

Chapter 11 is used to help businesses reorganize. It continues to be an important tool. There are many important options which a small business and even a medium sized business should consider when facing financial difficulties.
Is the business fundamentally sound?
If the business continues to be viable, think about what went wrong. Think about how it could be fixed. Think what the business would look like if you fixed it. Then think about whether your creditors are better off if your business is fixed and continues to be viable. If you can think positively about all of these questions, and if you have some cash to fund the reorganization of your business, Chapter 11 can still be a good idea. There are some down-sides to chapter 11:
Alternatives to Chapter 11
There are several alternatives to chapter 11. Lakelaw handles all of these for small and medium sized corporations, limited liability companies and other business forms:

Restaurant quality
I've had this pizza in PE restaurants and this home cook version is identical. Good stuff.
28 January 2014
Almost completely tasteless. The texture of the crust is excellent, but for flavour I'll stick with the cheaper Waitrose pizzas.
22 March 2013
It doesn't leave you screaming but has nice heat to it. Very tasty and a good balance of flavours. My ultimate fave pizza.

There is a lot of activity in the online recruiting industry now – more than I've seen in many years. Money is flowing in, startups are blossoming, and established players are branching out.
So why now? Part of it stems from the (slow) retreat of the recession – more people working means more interest in finding candidates. Part comes from the rise of social media and mobile, spurring innovation and new thinking about old recruiting…

Although it may not seem like it at times, the job board industry is a technology-driven industry. After all, it was the combination of a database and the web that gave it birth so many years ago. After a fairly lengthy period of incremental and erratic technical growth, the industry is seeing lots of change – and I suspect that those sites that ignore these changes may suffer.
So, which technologies (and technology trends) are changing job…

Find and book great restaurants
Do you find listings for chains such as Pizza Express, Strada and Zizzi's useful when looking for a restaurant on squaremeal.co.uk?
London's most comprehensive guide to restaurants and bars
Personally I think the Sanderson has never quite got it right with its in-house restaurant. Whereas the St Martin's Lane hotel has Asia de Cuba which is still packed years on, the Sanderson never seems to be quite sure as to what it should be doing. The biggest selling point of the restaurant is the outside terrace – heated and covered in the winter which is a bonus but the interior section of the restaurant seems quite simple and plain. The menu is based around a sharing concept similar to Asia de Cuba but the portions fail to live up to the price. The dishes are very tasty and if you are not on a budget or if being entertained then knock yourself out but otherwise you may find the size of the bill (and the 15% service charge on top) a little bit of a shock. The Purple and Long Bars add a little more interest to the venue. Perhaps not a place to take Russian clients given the translation of the name.
Was this review helpful to you?
I've eaten at both of the restaurants in the building, L'Atelier on the ground floor and La Cuisine on the first floor – both are very different in decor and cuisine but have two things in common – wherever you sit you can see the busy team of chefs buzzing around creating your delectable dishes. I love the counter concept of L'Atelier – very chic and cool – almost like a chic sushi bar without the sushi and instead a selection of cool little dishes to tempt such as Scottish lobster with a 'mist' of Hennessy and pig trotter served on parmesan toast. Upstairs the food is more mainstream but equally scrumptious with plenty of favourites on offer – the lamb and veal dishes particular favourites. As for dessert you must try the 'boule suprise', one of the most creative desserts I've ever had. I'd also tell you to make sure you check out the intimate little bar at the top of the building, one of London's best kept secret. Oops…
Not my average type of haunt but still one of my favourites for a cheap and guilty treat. It's a little too hectic upstairs and as you are now unable to book downstairs I find myself having to chance it more often – given the location there really is only a slim chance of sitting. The food is standard yummy BBQ fare – you get exactly what you pay for and value for money is part of that. The selection is good and always tasty – you don't expect much in the way of presentation but it's not needed. Sticky fingers a full tummy and a small bill will ensure I keep returning. Great for a bunch of lads before a night out or to annoy my colleagues by sitting at my desk with a take away for lunch.
Floridita is one of those venues that people love or loathe. It's loud and busy and sometimes feels a little cheesy however for a fun night dining and drinking it's one of the best all-rounders and I'll often find myself dropping by with some friends if we are looking for a little bit of fun. I do tend to use the venue more for drinks than food but do always enjoy the spit-roast suckling pig or one of the lobster dishes. If you are lucky enough to have a membership you will be able to dine in the members area 'Bar Constante' where things seem to run so much smoother, although generally service is fine all through the restaurant. One suggestion if drinking however is to put away your gentlemanly ways and send a lady to the bar, as they will be served in a split second by the smooth barmen whereas gents seem to have to wait…and wait…and wait… Live music every night also adds to this lively venue – only the smoking ban preventing you smoking big fat Cuban cigars detracts from the Cuban experience. Oh and don't forget the mojitos!
The Albemarle in my opinion has improved so much since the revamp. The restaurant seems to have a lighter feel to it with a few more contemporary touches to it than in its previous incarnation. The menu is still hugely extensive and will certainly give you problems with so much to choose from. For my starter I settled with Dorset dressed crab with landcress – very fresh and tasty while my partner was persuaded by me to try the potted Morecambe Bay shrimps (One of the specialities from my original locale). My main was the Blythburgh pork cutlet with apple mash and Cumbrian black pudding and was absolutely superb. Feeling like a little bit of a pig we finished off with some fab bramley apple pie then a selection of cheeses. Prices are very reasonable taking into account you are dining in a Mayfair Hotel. The set lunch menu and pre-theatre dining menus also look a bargain at £25/£30 for 2 or 3 courses. Atmosphere can be mixed depending on the residents but was generally pleasant and relaxed. I'd definitely suggest stopping off at the Donovan Bar afterwards for a couple of cocktails.
The Botanist is a very buzzy place – the times I've been both the bar and restaurant have been heaving with plenty of people enjoying themselves. I can only really describe the place as adequate unfortunately – the dishes are relatively good but I would expect a little more bang for my buck and can't help feeling that it's not too much more than an overpriced Gastropub living off the relative wealth of the locals. Given the fact that there are so many other good venues in the area it's doubtful I'll return. On the brighter side service is good given the hectic atmosphere and the menu quite extensive – the cheese selection was probably the highlight for me. West End Prices without West End Quality.
From the moment I sat down with a glass of bubbly and nibbled some bacon popcorn in the bar area of Texture I knew I was really going to enjoy it. With the duo of Agnar Sverrisson and Xavier Rousset at the helm I knew I was in safe hands. From the starter of pea mousse via the asparagus with parmesan 'snow' to the anjou of pigeon with corn puree – taste and presentation were excellent as was the three way Lancashire pig. Wines chosen by Xavier went perfectly and was surprised even more so at how inexpensive some of the choices were given the quality and taste. Service was excellent along with an explanation of the dishes and how they were put together made the experience a very pleasant one. I was pleased to find out also that they now have private dining room – something that was lacking on my visit, perhaps I'll return for a pre-Christmas party will a few friends.
I like Sumosan very much – it gives me good Japanese cuisine time after time without the need for booking weeks and weeks in advance. Many friends of mine insist it's a poor alternative for Nobu or Zuma but I personally believe the five years it's been open is a testament to its popularity given the stiff competition. It may not have the A-list glamour of some of its competitors but I go there to eat good food and not to make a fashion statement. Service can very occasionally be a little slow at peak times but unless you want to rush through your meal not slow enough to be a problem. The black cod on my most recent visit was delicious along with the yakinku grill. In honesty I couldn't remark about the wine list as I usually stick to the Asahi black label. Food is well presented and fresh and Sumosan has never disappointed me – I suggest giving it a try.
My recent trip to Alain Ducasse was certainly a memorable one and I'm happy to say for all the right reasons. The dining room is bright and airy with well spaced tables giving you enough privacy for your business deals or flirting – or perhaps both? It has a nice modern feel without trying too hard but manages to retain an air of formality at the same time. From sitting down to leaving, the food and accompanying wine was exquisite and the constant supply of amuse bouches between courses a fine touch. John dory goujonettes with coconut and curry sauce were an interesting starter that worked surprisingly well and the roast rack and saddle of lamb suitably fab enough to keep my attention until I took on the selection of French cheese. With the chefs little delicacies coming so frequently a three course dinner seemed like a ten-course and the gentleman coming round with the sweet and bon-bon trolley at the end just added to the delights. Prices can run high but with a fixed price for two,three or four-course meal you do at least know what to expect. Make good use of head sommelier Hugues Lepin and his team who matched excellent wines by the glass for us with each course.
The Masons Arms was a big favourite of mine in my late teens and early twenties when the Lakes area was my home, and I try to visit whenever I head back that way. As a pub it's one of the warmest and friendliest venues with a huge selection of beers and ales for all tastes – the Damson Beer having been a long time favourite for me since a memorable trip there on my 18th birthday. The food is always good (for a country pub), the house pie or sausages and mash are really good. My advice if you are in the area for a while is to spend an evening there in the summer – take in the views and try a good selection of the ales although make sure you have someone to drive you home! Failing that I do believe they do have rooms available.
I had a lovely lunch at L'Anima last Monday and it was a great way to start the week. I'm a big fan of Francesco Mazzei and certainly was not let down. The interior is a clean and sharp contemporary design, the atmosphere was very city-boy orientated but being in the heart of the city you would expect this. Friends and clients have informed me however that the evenings are more relaxed and has a good buzz to it. I started with a delicious, Black Angus beef carpaccio with pickled wild mushrooms and parmigiano – the taste of the mushrooms contrasted nicely with the melt in the mouth beef, one of the best carpaccios I've had. I moved onto the slow roast black pork belly which was divine – tender enough to fall apart when probed and a lovely golden crackling. As I wasn't in a rush my dining partner and I went through a couple of desserts, the pistachio and chocolate iced truffle being a particular favourite – the type of dessert that gives a big smile on your face and an even bigger one in your tummy – for rich chocolate lovers this is a must. I'm planning on returning as soon as possible for dinner.
I'm very sorry but I have to say I preferred the appallingly awful student venue this used to be – at least it had an honest feel about it where as this place seems so completely pretentious and contrived it's impossible to enjoy. Service gets an 8 mark but then again it's not hard to provide good bar service. It would fit in nicely if located in the "Nappy Valley" of Northcote Road but seems very out of place. Last time I went I noticed a sign about bag searches on the door – not sure if that's still the policy but in any case I will be avoiding.
I've dined a couple of times recently at Sake No Hana and am glad for it. I first visited the venue not too long after it opened and it was pleasant then, but I wouldn't have rushed back. A year later and they seemed to have cured the previous issues – with service, some of the dishes and the non existent wine list. On my last visit I dined with a group of close colleagues and was blown away. We did slightly over-order but had decided to sample as much as possible and managed to get through a grand total of 24 dishes. The starters of King crab and cucumber sunomono, Chicken and kanpyo maki roll were particular favourites and mains of Miso Chilean seabass in houba leaf, Red king crab in ponzu and Wagyu beef with mountain yam were all dishes I'd quite happily mug my colleagues for. Prices can get astronomical for larger tables so while I personally can't afford to eat there as often as I'd like I will return as often as possible. Although they do now have a wine selection I'd urge diners to skip this and speak with the Sake sommelier who picked the perfect choices to go with our feast. Service was excellent and the grace and delicacy of the waitresses made the experience all the more authentic (In an uber-chic contemporary environment of course!).
I was quite nervous on my first trip to the Ritz. It is after all an institution and a benchmark for the best of British (although it's French food). While it is still ultra-formal and very old school I have to applaud the entire team for the dining experience they provide. The service is the finest I have ever seen – the waiters have an almost ESP-like ability and seem to know what you want before you do! As for the food it was presented with perfection the warm salad of native Lobster with duck egg & caviar was divine and the main of Sea bass with artichoke one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. Atmosphere wise I did find it a little too stuffy but that's purely a reflection on my tastes and not the restaurant itself. Prices are relatively high but reflect the standard of the food and service. One for a special occasion – perhaps with the olds.
Lucky Voice is another of my guilty secrets – a great venue for a night out before hitting a club, living out your pop singing fantasies has never been easier. The rooms are smart and well equipped with microphones and props and a little buzzer keeps the bar service flowing when you need to sooth your sore throat after pretending your Elvis on his Vegas comeback. Plenty of rooms for varying sizes of group and a largish bar for when it all becomes too much. My only gripe is that the main bar itself doesn't take cash and all drinks are charged to the card that booked the room which can cause a few problems when it's time to go as they never seem to keen to split the bill on several cards. They have every song you will want to sing and if they don't you can request it through the website.

Re: New Auction Locations
I agree with this post and want to echo the call for more Luxlife products, I've seen some great deals here on the site but there are only very few to choose from.
Re: New Auction Locations
f.y.i.....I have sent several potential locations to the staff at LL and have been told their representatives will try and make the appropriate contacts at these properties. I think anything you and other members of the LLcommunity can do to identifypotential properties for LL will be helpful to all of us.

I also would like to have LLink find more places especially in Germany and some new european locations. We have won 15 auctions so far and am always looking for new destinations.
Re: New Auction Locations
On the subject of new auction locations, I do hope L.L. will feature more of Dubai in the future. I know they have now started featuring Dubai and have one property in their portfolio but most hotels in Dubai are mostly 5 star(even 7 star) so there are plenty for L.L. to choose from. The property they are featuring is not one of the well known ones. I think they would get a great response if they featured one of the more popular ones. Imagine if they featured the Burj Al Arab. Now that would be worth bidding for! I wonder what price that would go for? All of those out there who have been looking for somewhere unique or for their honeymoon, I just would like you to check out the Al Maha Desert resort and Spa. There are not many resorts out there that can match this place for uniqueness. Everyone who visits this place is totally blown away. I have never felt so sad to leave anywhere likeI felt when we left Al Maha. Their website does not do it justice. It really has to be experienced to realise how such a wonderful place it is. I know it is notthat popular with U.S. citizens yet, but there have been a few Americans there the last couple of times we were there, so it is getting more popular with them. Dubai is one of those places that you are a little apprehensive about at first, but once you go, you cannot wait to return. It is my favourite holiday destination.
Re: New Auction Locations
One area of consideration for future locations for US & Canadian citizens is the weakness of the dollar against the Euro. I think this will continue to make Central and South America as well as Asia popular sites for residents of these countries.

Re: New Auction Locations
Hi mary-j,
You seem to be the" resident expert" on Dubai. I think you mentioned somewhere on the Community board that you bought a place in Dubai. I wonder about the security question in Dubai and this part of the world in general - I know they are supposed to be our allies, but they also have produced the Ben Ladins of the world... so I think many Americans might be a little afraid to set foot into that area if they don't have to. I recognize, the pictures look beautiful, but I am not that brave, I prefer to stay where it is safe - if there is still such a place in this world today....
Re: New Auction Locations
Hi Omegaet,
You are right, the sharp rise of the Euro represents a hardship for US and Canadian travelers, but I do hope LL will be able to continue to attract new properties throughout Europe. I believe the European hotels are beginning to feel an excess of empty rooms with a lot of US and Canadian travelers abstaining. This is where LL with their negotiation power to attract some of the suffering high end properties comes in . Since the rates are payable in dollars for these properties, this is a good deal of US and Canadian LL customers. But as many US and Canadian travelers have seen Europe, they are ready to branch out to visit other areas where the prices are still low.
Re: New Auction Locations
Lhbrown and anyone else who is unsure about the safety in Dubai, You cannot be more wrong. Dubai is the SAFEST placeI know. Yes it is in the Middle East but there is no problems whatsoever there. Have you ever read anything about Dubai and any conflict there? If it was unsafe, then why would there be so many people going there on holiday and more important why would there be thousands and thousands of people buying property in Dubai, including lots of Americans. Many A-list celebrities have bought in Dubai, especially on "The Palm" and "The World", including Donald Trump who is opening a hotel on "the Palm". If you go on to "trip advisor" and go on to the Dubai Forum you will find discussions from people from all around the world who are frequent visitors to Dubai. Put it this way, I would not feel safe out alone at night in some places in the UK, but in Dubai, I would have no hesitation about going out alone in Dubai. The crime rate in Dubai is literally zero. There is no crime because the penalties are so severe. Honestly, ifI thought there was any likelihood of trouble in Dubai,i would never have invested my hard earned cash there. There are lots of Americans who feel the same as you, but there are some who are starting to go now, soI don't think it will be too long until they realise they have nothing to worry about and more and more U.S citizens choose to go to Dubai. If you go on to the forum I mentioned, you will see that some of the threads are from Americans who have either been or are going in the near future.Dubai is fast becoming the No. 1 holiday destination. As I said, it is my favourite destination. Personally there is no where quite like it for me.
Re: New Auction Locations
Hi omegaet
I too would like to see LL expand its scope when it comes to resorts and travel properties. It'd be great if the Auctions and Buy Now areas of the LL website were truly worlwide so that people could bid or buy vacations in all sorts of interesting and diverse places. As it is now, there are relatively few destinations available in Africa, Australia/New Zealand, and certain parts of Europe (e;g. Russia, the Baltics, and Scandinavia). Even Canada, which is within easy reach of most American travelers, and has a great wealth of fabulous resorts and travel destinations with excellent accomodations, seems strangely under-represented. I hardly ever see any places in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia or Newfoundland featured on LL. How come?
