Strip Mall Hidden Gems in the San Fernando Valley and West Side?
Looking for really good Mom & Pop shop-type restaurants generally found tucked away in strip malls (although strip mall not absolutely required if you have a good place!).
I'll start off with a little Portuguese Bakery (or so I thought). It's called Natas Pastries at 13317 Ventura Blvd. in Sherman Oaks (right next door to Casa Vega) A couple of tables outside, but not being a bakery person, I never paid much attention. From the outside it looks like a casual cafe for breakfast and lunch, but then driving by there was a sign that said $10 dinner specials. Now I was curious so I checked it out.
As you approach, all you see is basically a tiny little shop with a bakery case (and the pastries all look terrific -- but as I said, I'm not a bakery person), but THEN low and behold, through an archway to the left, the cutest little dining room!! Done beautifully with Portuguese tile, I was SHOCKED at what a great little dining room this was. And fairly elegant for what appeared to be a little cafe.
I had the $10 special (also available at lunch) which was half a chicken, salad and baked fries. The fries were actually rosoemary red skin potatoes that were cubed; not fries at all and they were not very good....too much oil and not cooked in a hot enough oven to get crispy. But the chicken was good and the salad, typical side salad stuff. The toasted homemade bread in the basket was exceptional however; and a neighboring table was slurping down a Portuguese vegetable soup that certainly looked very good. Menu items are intersting and large entrees ranged between $12 - $16. So while I can't say it's a home run on exceptional food quality yet....the jury is still out, I'll definately go back and try other things on the menu. The ambiance was certainly wonderful. Beer and wine are available.
And on the other hand, went to a little pizza place that looked like it could be a gem, Santino's NY Pizza on Woodman (jusst in from the corner of Ventura) and it was AWFUL! Now we did NOT order pizza and after seeing reviews on other sites, maybe this is the only thing they can do (but a lot of complaints on the pizza front too). We had a ceasar salad that was basically a bowl of romaine lettuce with crutons that tasted like they came out of a box at Ralph's. Totally worthless. I ordered eggplant parmesian...there was no parmesian! A few slices of breaded eggplant (dry!!!) sitting on a pile of spagetti with red sauce. The red sauce was ok, but the eggplant is clearly held on the side so it can either go on a plate or on a bun. My husband's chicken parmesian was dry and partially burned as were the cookies in the case on the counter. Santino clearly has no sense of quality, I think he'll just shovel anyting out to unsuspecting custoemrs. So ignore all the celebrity photos on the wall and avoid this place!
Let's hear what the other hounds have to say!! Let's find some great places!!!
I LOVE Vinh Loi Tofu. The corner it's in is not even big enough to be considered a strip mall - but the quality is high and the pricing low - I can't say no to that!
Vinh Loi Tofu
18625 Sherman Way Ste 101, Reseda, CA 91335
re: happybaker
+1 for vinh loi tofu.
love the place
re: happybaker
another *yes* to Vinh Loi in 2012. ;) It's such an odd little place and sooo good. Open at random hours though so check in advance.
re: valleygrrl
They used to be really consistent as far as their hours were concerned. 9 AM to 9 PM, every day. Has that changed? Or was this during August when folks from French influenced SE Asia tend to take a few weeks off perhaps?
The best carnitas are at a small place called Metro Balderas. The original is in a teeny strip mall across the street from Vallarta Supermarket on Reseda between Roscoe and Parthenia. They only make carnitas on the weekends and make 12 different kinds of carnitas (who knew!). There are also two other locations in Panorama City and Van Nuys.
These guys had a great review of Metro Balderas (not my blog).
I second Go's Mart but it'll cost you.
Cheaper "everyday" type options:
San Carlo Deli, Chatsworth
Angelo's Ristorante, Chatsworth
Kinnara Thai, Van Nuys
The Pho place next door to 99 Ranch Market, Van Nuys
Mercado Buenos Aires, Van Nuys

re: boogiebaby
Ate @ Pho So 1 and Pho 999 in th same week, for this vietnamese guy Pho 999 > Pho So 1. May have been an off day but the noodles were terrible.
re: ns1
I couldn't agree more that Pho 999 (across the street from Ranch Market) is MUCh better than the Pho place next to Ranch Market. (Love the Sam Woo duck place though; we're talking about the other side). Food quality at Pho 999 is excellent. I had a beef Pho at the Ranch market place and we had to feed it to the dog it was so fatty! And while I can appreciate the family dining style, Pho 999 is so much more ogranized and you can get a nice big booth instead of being squished in to tables at the other. Once I dined at Pho 999 I'll never go back to the other again (and I shop at Ranch Market all the time).
Sam Woo Cafe
727 N Broadway, Los Angeles, CA 90012
re: cimero
yep. Also @ Pho 999, the che ba mau (sp?) 3 color bean dessert is AWESOME.
re: boogiebaby
I third Go's Mart. I really love it.

1 Westside, 1 Valley
In Palms, Simpang Asia is the best strip-mall Indonesian I've had. It's been slowly expanding, and taking over its strip mall (which is pretty small anyway). Mie Tek Tek noodles, Sayur Bungkus mixed veg in banana leaf, and Croquette for appetizer... yum!
In the Valley, El Carrusel makes great pupusas, and good horchata too. Make sure to get curtido, too (not the best curtido I've had, but good stuff). Prices for pupusas are very reasonable too. There's 1 at Victory and Kester, and another at 6800 Reseda Blvd.
Simpang Asia
10433 National Blvd 2, Los Angeles, CA 90034
re: hhewitt
we eat at that El Carrusel all the time. It's VERY good for being a hole in the wall, and so very affordable. I find it's best to ask which pupusas they just made and go with it (otherwise they sit for a bit and aren't as melty good).
Curry Bowl (now apparently called Cafe Ceylon). http://www.yelp.com/biz/cafe-ceylon-t... The only Sri Lankan food I've ever had (except for stuff I've cooked myself, from recipes), which counts for a lot. The quality strikes me as pretty good -- not great by any means.
Curry Bowl

Sri Lankan Cafe

Great Cemitas Poblanas Milanese at Don Adrian on Victory. Also, if it's available don't miss the house-made cecina, either in the quesadillas or in chalupas. As the LA Times put it in a prior review on Don Adrian get the cecina "...where it's simply grilled, mounded on a tortilla and garnished with a sparse scattering of string cheese and dabs of mild green salsa…"
Taqueria Don Adrian
14902 Victory Blvd, Van Nuys, CA 91411
re: Servorg
+1 for Don Adrian. Outstanding cemitas.
re: Servorg
I moved near Don Adrian recently, and tried it once. I found their bread to be dry and stale compared to Angelica's truck on Venice near Culver City. Was I there on an off day?
The meat/cheese/salsa chipotle were great, but the bread just wasn't as moist and soft as I'm used to.
re: hhewitt
Hmm . . . I haven't been back to Don Adrian since I moved to Pasadena two years ago, so my appraisal may be dated.
re: hhewitt
I agree with you about the bread at Don Adrian's. I had a problem with it , too.
re: mucho gordo
i was just at don adrian. except for being bitterly disappointed with them leaving the papalo off my cemita, it was excellent. especially the bread.
Fish in the Village, a kosher fish market/cafe in the strip mall on the southeast corner of Whitsett and Burbank. Excellent quality, nice people closed on Saturday and you would expect.
The original Skaf's Grill, northeast corner of Oxnard and Laurel Canyon.
Nat's Early Bite, breakfast heaven on the northwest corner of Hazeltine and Burbank.
Skaf's Grill
6008 Laurel Canyon Blvd, North Hollywood, CA 91606

14115 Burbank Blvd, Sherman Oaks, CA 91401
re: ebethsdad
Nat's Early Bite is great... particularly their love muffins (with coconut & chocolate) if they have them... they're not always listed, so it's worth asking.

re: ebethsdad
+1 Skaf's
re: ebethsdad
OMG, I just ate at Fish in the Village for the first time on a friend's recommendation. It was wonderful. One of the best pieces of grilled salmon I've ever eaten! The grilled veggies were also delicious, as was the side of hummus and pita my friend and i shared before our fish arrived.
1) Mom's BBQ House on Vanowen and Hazeltine
2) Zano's (Italian) on Ventura just east of Topanga
3) Gio Cucina on Ventura just west of Sepulveda (2nd floor)
4) Kung Pao Bistro (moved from stand alone bldg to small strip mall near Tujunga)
Kung Pao Bistro
11402 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604
re: mucho gordo
Emles Restaurant. Good homemade meals all day long at good prices. It is near A&W Seafood.
Emles Restaurant
9250 Reseda Blvd Ste 1, Northridge, CA 91324
re: mucho gordo
I second Gio Cucina. It is actually about a mile west of Sepulveda next to theLand Rover dealership. I also like empanadas at Johnny Pacific at Winnetka and Saticoy.
Here are a few just to start:
Bamboo Forest (I guess it's not in a strip mall, but it's pretty close), Sherman Oaks, for Chinese.
Thai 'n' I in Encino for BBQ ribs and chicken.
El Taco Llama -- two of the ones in NoHo are my favorites, though I go to the one at Vanowen and Haskell when I'm craving their smokey salsa roja.
Alberto's -- for the California burrito (carne asads and french fries wrapped in a tortilla) in Van Nuys (on Vanowen, just west of Van Nuys).
San Marcos Grill in Van Nuys for tacos and chile rellenos on Thursdays.
El Carrusel, as mentioned above, is good for pupusas.
Sweet 1 Bakery and Kebab Factory in Sherman Oaks (On Oxnard, by Woodman) -- This is a combo market/restaurant that I recently discovered. They do a variety of middle eastern/Armenian items, including very good lamajeune and some excellent grilled meats at ridiculously low prices. I usually get the meats ala carte. Succulent little quail are $1.99 each and four small lamb chops are $7.99.
Anarbagh in Encino has a great set of lunch specials.
Spumoni in Sherman Oaks and Gio Cucina in Encino for Italian.
Krua Thai in North Hollywood for some of the best Thai in the city.
Fab Hot Dogs in Woodland Hills.
La Baguette on Reseda is my favorite valley spot for Banh Mi.
I'm sure I'll come up with some others.

If I may include the South Bay;
Mottainai Ramen in Gardena. Flavor bomb.
Havana Mania in Redondo Beach for good Cuban and their great Tuesday (After 5pm) special
Lechon Asado, Cuban Style Roast Pork. 11.99
Teresa's Mosaic Cafe in El Segundo. Great homemade tortillas.

if part of your definition of "hidden gem" requires that the food be low-priced, then this doesn't meet your criteria, because, like most excellent sushi restaurants, their prices aren't low:
echigo sushi in west LA on santa monica blvd
their quality is superb.
they are the only other sushi bar that i've found that serves monkfish liver that is as good as the monkfish liver served at sushi zo
I discovered Roladin Bakery and Cafe in Loehmann's Plaza Reseda. It is an Israeli gem, like the much larger and very busy Aroma Cafe in Encino, but a lot more accessible. Great sandwiches, soups, salads. The sabich sandwich is currently my favorite.
Roladin Bakery Cafe
19365 Victory Blvd, Tarzana, CA 91335
re: Golem
I had the opportunity to visit Roladin last time I was in the area. I had a breakfast dish that I don't remember the name of, but it was tasty. Also, the extras that came on the plate were pleasantly unique and delightful. The pastry display looked devine. Although, I do miss Kayla's Cookie Castle that was there before Roladin.
re: Dogbite Williams
So you and the OP are in total agreement in that case as he too ripped Santino's a new one in his opening post to this thread. In fact, other than your mention of it that's the only other mention of the place here. It's now officially off my bucket list! ;-D>
I have a question about a place that I haven't tried:
At the corner of Hazeltine and Burbank there is a liquor/grocery store. It's on the same side of Burbank as Nat's but on the other side of Hazeltine. They have a yellow sign that explains the beer specials.
But ... but ...
Inside is a lunch counter serving Mexican food (or Mexican American food). I always eat at Nat's, then go across the street to buy beer and the place smells good and the guy who owns the liquor says the food is good.
But I've never tried it.
Anyone know the place and has anyone tried it? I have no idea if it's good or not, but they seem to do business, always people eating there.
re: PaulF
I think it's called "Bronco Mexican Grill" and (if that's right) here is the Yelp on it: http://www.yelp.com/biz/bronco-restau...
re: Servorg
That's gotta be it.
Thanks, S.
re: Servorg
Interesting. The Yelp indicates that it is the same Bronco .that used to on Woodman and Magnolia, but recently closed and became a different Mexican place. I was never particularly impressed with Bronco when it was a stand-alone restaurant.
San Marcos Grill on Hazeltine, just south of Oxnard, is quite good.
re: SIMIHOUND
Sorry. I meant Woodman and Moorpark.
re: Thor123
Tlapazola also used to offer a terrific selection of tequilas.
i presume that they still do.
re: Thor123
I've always been under the impression that their food (at least at the Gateway location) was centered around the cuisine of Oaxaca (even the name of the restaurant is a town in Oaxaca which the founding chef hails from)?
re: Servorg
Does anyone know the relationship between the Tlapazola on Gateway (the one with the great tequila selection) and the Tlapazola in Venice on Venice? And do either of them have a relation to the Tlapazola that was once on Lincoln in Santa Monica?
re: Servorg
The two Tlaps have different menus and different tequila selections, for what it's worth.

Chiquita fights suit over payments to Colombian fighters
The Colombian lawsuits, filed in the U.S., want Chiquita held liable for thousands of deaths at the hands of the AUC, the Spanish abbreviation for the right-wing United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia.
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Faced with potentially billions of dollars in legal liability, Chiquita Brands International is asking a federal appeals court to block lawsuits filed against it in the U.S. by thousands of Colombians whose relatives were killed in that country's bloody, decades-long civil war.
The produce giant, which long had huge banana plantations in Colombia, has admitted paying a right-wing Colombian paramilitary group $1.7 million over seven years. The Charlotte, N.C.-based company insists it was blackmailed into paying or risking violence against its own operations and employees, although in 2007 Chiquita pleaded guilty to U.S. criminal charges that it had supported terrorists. It paid a $25 million fine.
The Colombian lawsuits, consolidated for pretrial action before a federal judge in West Palm Beach, want Chiquita held liable for thousands of deaths at the hands of the AUC, the Spanish abbreviation for the right-wing United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia. The Colombian relatives have won several key pretrial rulings, but Chiquita is taking its fight for dismissal to a new level.
In essence, Chiquita wants the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to dismiss the lawsuits because, the company claims, each homicide cannot be tied specifically to the company. It's not enough, Chiquita's lawyers say in court papers, to assume the company's payments to the AUC meant Chiquita knew about and supported those individual killings.
Chiquita also says the Colombian cases should be tossed because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last April in a case, Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum, which imposed new limits on the ability of foreigners to use U.S. courts to seek accountability and monetary damages for human-rights abuses.
Any decision by the 11th Circuit is likely months away, adding to the years Colombian relatives have been waiting for a resolution. The cases were consolidated in Florida in 2008.
The payments to the AUC were not the first made by Chiquita against the backdrop of Colombia's civil conflict. Previously, the leftist Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia — known as FARC — demanded hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments from Chiquita and other companies or their employees and operations would be attacked.
The AUC was formed in 1997 to unite several right-wing militias to battle FARC and its supporters. The resulting campaign, supported by top Colombian political leaders, eventually resulted in 50,000 mostly civilian deaths and several infamous massacres, Colombian prosecutors say.
Chiquita, the largest U.S. banana seller, first had banana operations in Colombia in 1899. The company sold its Colombian subsidiary Banadex in 2004.

AURORA, Colo. (AP) The driver of an SUV involved in a fatal hit and run in Aurora has turned herself in and has been released.
Police said the female driver and an adult female passenger turned themselves in at the Aurora Police Station hours after the early Sunday incident.
Police say a male victim was lying in a road lane near the Anschutz Medical Campus when witnesses say the SUV ran over him. Witnesses told police the driver made a U-turn and slowly drove back past the scene before leaving.
Police did not release additional details, including the driver's name, name of the victim or why he was lying in the road.
Police said the case remains under investigation and potential charges are pending.

How Joyent Uses OS Virtualization to Deliver its Manta Object Storage Platform
The infrastructure service cloud provider, Joyent, has plunged deeper into the big data game with Manta, their own cloud object store and data services platform that they claim will serve to spur a wave of big data innovation in the cloud.
The recently announced Manta is described as a highly scalable, distributed object storage service with integrated compute. We caught up with Joyent Senior Vice President of Engineering, Bryan Cantrill, who oversees the development of Joyent's core platform, to talk about their latest step into the big data arena and where they are going with Manta.
Cantrill explained that Joyent differentiates themselves from competitors like Amazon and Rackspace through their fundamental approach to the entire stack. "In order to be able to innovate up-stack with cloud services, you need to own the entire stack of software, down to the hardware," he said, noting that Joyent owns their own operating system, the hypervisor, and language runtime. This, he explained, allows them, with Manta, to attempt new ways to virtualize which he says others can't provide.
"There is another way to virtualize, which is to do it not in terms of hardware, but in terms of the OS," he explained. "Instead of giving a tenant a virtual microprocessor, you give them a virtual operating system that looks and feels and smells like its own machine, but it's actually at a higher layer of abstraction."
What this means, he says, is that the applications that run in a virtual OS actually run on the hardware with no intervening second operating system in the stack. Cantrill explains using a tenant who wants to spin up some infrastructure with a gigabyte of DRAM. In the hardware virtualized model, the hypervisor needs to take a gigabyte of DRAM and give that to the operating system that is sitting on top of the virtual hardware. "Now if you put your app on top of virtual hardware that only uses 500 megabytes of DRAM, there's 500 megabytes left there that is simply lost to the sytem," he says, explaining that the system has no real way of reclaiming it.
Cantrill says with hardware virtualization, this is true across the line for all the physical resources, including DRAM, CPU, the network, etc. "With hardware based virtualization, the hypervisor is forced into these really blunt, course decisions that really prohibit tenancy and performance."
On the other hand, Cantrill explains that using an OS virtualized model – as Joyent does with its Manta service – you get the resources that you ask for because your processes are simply processes in the larger OS. "What that means is that tenancy is much higher with a much lighter weight abstraction," says Cantrill. "You can get many more of them on the box and they can perform at a much higher level because they're all on the hardware."
While the downside is that the tenant is not able to pick their own operating system – they would need to execute with virtualized hardware to do that – the upside, says Cantrill, is a significant performance benefit because the user is able to run their applications directly on the hardware, where the data is.
"We're the only cloud provider that owns our own operating system," says Cantrill. "What OS level virtualization allows us to do uniquely is have an object storage service (Manta) in which you can put objects, and then when you with to actually compute upon thos objects, instead of needing to get the objects out of the service into transient compute (like you would with Amazon S3 and EC2), you can actually spin up a virtual OS instance on the data itself – on the storage node upon which the data lives – and then your compute can actually execute directly on the object."
The use cases this model opens up are extensive, says Cantrill. "It's one of the things that is so interesting about this technology," he explains. "Every once in awhile you come up with a technology that unlocks so much that your customers actually start to tell you how they're going to use it."
"For us personally, I can tell you that the rubicon that we crossed is when we started to use Manta to implement Manta," says Cantrill, explaining that there are a number of big data problems that they ran into as they implemented the object storage service, including metering. "We need to keep track of usage of the system, and the way that is historically done is by having big MapReduce clusters that run over logs. Within Manta, we can actually just pump those logs back into Manta and then run Manta jobs over the logs to meter the service – it was so much easier to do than the alternative."
Log processing is one of the chief use cases that Cantrill says Manta is currently being used for. Transcoding multimedia is another, said Cantrill, who explained that with Manta, because the tenant doesn't need to pull their images into transient compute, they can transcode them at rest and create new Manta objects as a result. "Transcoding in Manta is a one-liner," says Cantrill.
Ultimately, Cantrill says Manta can be considered a big data cloud operating system – a claim which is becoming something of a trend – late last month we saw the preview release of Hadoop 2.0 which includes the YARN resource manager, which Arun Murthy says turns Hadoop from a single application system "to a multi-application operating system." Cantrill takes umbrage with this.
"I don't mean to sound pejorative towards Hadoop, but in terms of an operating system, there is a very ridged technical definition of what an operating system is, and I build one and they don't," he explained. "I've been doing kernel development for 20 years, and that's the operating system. Everyone loves to call themselves an operating system, but ultimately if there is no kernel component to what you're doing, then what you're doing is an app."
Cantrill says that this is an important distinction because he believes that the OS still has a ways to go in its development – going as far as calling it the nexus of innovation. "I've heard so many times over my career that OS development is dead, and not interesting – everything that you can do with the operating system has been done – and we've done so much interesting OS work after those points. It's like the patent examiner in the 1890's saying that everything has been invented."
"I should be clear that Manta has got OS components for certain, but much of Manta is a distributed system on top of that operating system, so it's really about the innovation in the operating system unlocking up-stack innovation and making sure that we work together as a team and make sure that if there's something that we should do, we do it in the OS – we don't try to work around it at a higher layer of software."
Cantrill explains that this is the key difference between their approach and other multi-tenancy cloud operating system efforts. "They are actually working around or reinventing abstractions that should exist in the OS, or they're working around abstractions that should exist in the OS," he explains. "I think that what we've built can be said with a higher degree of confidence actually is a cloud operating system in that we are giving you the OS as the abstraction on your data."

In light of the tremendous reader response to a certain Drake/Kanye/Weezy/Em collabo, we were considering giving our Feature Selection Committee a much-needed vacation and switching to an all-Forever freestyle, all-the-time format for the next couple months. If readers liked it the first time, they'll like it even more the 101st time… right? Okay, in all seriousness, we'd never subject you to that; in fact, this track will be the first and last Forever retread to grace our frontpage. Recorded this past weekend and making its world premiere right here in the Booth, reader fave Marky's I Want This 43ver is a cut above your average freestyle. Shifting unpredictably between laid-back and frenetic flows, the D.C. emcee delivers wordplay-rich bars that mesh beautifully with Boi-1da's densely-layered beat. It's clear that Marky doesn't plan on stoppin' anytime soon, and with rhymes this razor-sharp, he's undoubtedly headed to the top. IWT43ver is a Booth exclusive, but fans can hear more from the DMV rapper on his recently-released Nothing Is 43ver mix-album, available for download here.

'Francis criticized Church at conclave'
HAVANA—Pope Francis issued a strong critique of the Church before the College of Cardinals just hours before it selected him as the new Pontiff, according to comments published on Tuesday by a Roman Catholic magazine in Cuba.
According to Havana Cardinal Jaime Ortega, then-Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio urged the Vatican to eschew self-absorption and refocus its energies outward.
"The Church is called on to emerge from itself and move toward the peripheries, not only geographic but also existential (ones): Those of sin, suffering, injustice, ignorance and religious abstention, thought and all misery," Bergoglio said.
Ortega said Bergoglio's comments were made to cardinals as they gathered to select Benedict XVI's replacement, and reflect his vision of the contemporary Catholic Church. He said Bergoglio later gave him a handwritten version and permission to divulge its contents.
'Masterful, insightful'
"Cardinal Bergoglio made a speech that I thought was masterful, insightful, engaging and true," Ortega said.
Ortega added that the remarks offered insight about the direction in which the new Pope could take the Church following his March 13 election.
In his statements, the future Pontiff also warned of the dangers of stagnation.
"When the Church does not emerge from itself to evangelize, it becomes self-referential and therefore becomes sick. … The evils that, over time, occur in ecclesiastical institutions have their root in self-referentiality, a kind of theological narcissism." Bergoglio said.
He also criticized "a mundane Church that lives within itself, of itself and for itself."
Finally Bergoglio said that whoever became the new Pope should be "a man who … helps the Church to emerge from itself toward the existential outskirts."
Ortega first revealed Bergoglio's comments in a weekend Mass, and they were published on Tuesday on the website of Palabra Nueva magazine, along with a photo of the two men embracing after Bergoglio had donned the papal white robes and rechristened himself Francis.

AMD to spend $50m cutting costs
There's more bad news for AMD stockholders - $50m (£33.7m) worth of bad news, to be exact. In December of 2008, the company told the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it would incur restructuring costs in the first half of 2009, but that it couldn't then estimate what those costs would be. On Thursday, in an Form …
It will all be better in the end
When Intel is forced to fork over billions to AMD for violation of anti-trust laws worldwide, life will be much better, in addition to the new products AMD has in the pipeline. I think AMD will get in the last laugh.
I for one
welcome our new overlords IBM and Intel!
All pathetic weaklings like Sun, AMD, HP, Qualcomm, Fujitsu, Samsung, NEC, ARM ltd, plc, co, etc :) must "bow before the ways of heavy metal", or die.
May we ask...
"This January, for example, AMD reported that it had lost more than $3bn (£2bn) during 2008 - a sum that makes $50m look like chump change."
Which particular 'division' of AMD 'lost', or otherwise 'blew off', $3bn in a year and how they managed to do it?
Saving the wrong companies
There are three big auto makers in the US, and dozens of foreign competitors. There are only two x86 processor makers in the world. If AMD goes down, Intel is back to being a monopoly. We are saving the wrong companies.
It's about harvesting votes.
Besides, ARM processors make a hell of a lot better choice than x86 for most personal computing devices.
@ Brent
Just 2 competitors?
How about Power, Cell, Sparc, ARM, VIA, etc. etc.
AMD will survive, they have to otherwise Intel becomes a monopoly....
Hi, no mention of AMD shedding its foundries, a big saver. AMD still has technology lead on Intel, they have been first to market with 64bit/32bit which Intel had to start making later. They will have 6 core and 12 core very soon.

After briefly lamenting the fact that there's not a lot of places to turn to to learn about/gain exposure to international poetry, I opened my mail and found the new issue of Rattapallax, which, along with CALQUE and Circumference, is one of the best sources for poetry in translation. This particular issue kicks off by featuring eleven Bengali poets . . .
Also arriving within the past few days is issue #11 of PEN America, which also has some great international content, including: an interview between Adam Gopnik and Jean-Marie Gustave Le Clezio, fiction by Alejandro Zambra (from Megan McDowell's translation of The Private Lives of Trees, which cough cough, Open Letter is publishing in the spring, but isn't credited for in the journal . . .), memoir from Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and poetry by Liu Xiaobo (trans by Jeffrey Yang).

Which in my sleep deprived round about way kind of gets at my point (I think, boy I did a terrible job from where I was originally going with this). Owners aren't giving anything, they are getting more money no matter where the deal ends up. You cna say that some were losing money, but the ones making the biggest push back and fighting the hardest are not the ones losing money (if any are losing money in the end).
OK, I was going to let it die. It wants to. Nothing personal Puckhead, but if pile-on is gonna start, it's squelch time. Maybe this will let everyone feel they can move on.
The Most Important Point: This isn't about being "right" about the salary number; I hereby concede that as unimportant to me. What is important is personal integrity, which to me still has value regardless of who may be sadly lacking in that area. Nobody, incl. me, gives a rat's ass what the exact dollar and cents amount surgeons make is; it's a lot. These figures merely serve to demolish the unwarranted and totally false accusation that I pull numbers out of my rectum. Those would be some smelly numbers indeed. More "proof" is somehow needed, which for some unknown reason I am supplying.
Again, just to be abundantly clear, we can all believe that this or that accountant's clientele could make more than this, and we're all truly impressed. We're in awe. What I'm being called out on and forced to drive a stake through, once and for all in this final post on this totally lame, boring subject, is the smarmy accusation of shamming numbers. While these figures may imply that throwing out the figure 200k wasn't really that stupid after all...I'm NOT even attempting to prove that these salaries are the actual, accurate pay of these docs; because if you're anything like me, you're sick to death of this BS and couldn't...care...less. These stupid discussions are just what we get sucked into every lockout. Attacking sources is standard extremist procedure whenever the data doesn't support the rigidly held preconceived beliefs that further their agenda; let's short-circuit that by stipulating right here that these numbers are ALL wrong, OK? You win: every single web site devoted to salary documentation among professionals is run by folks with even less knowledge than my own, if that were possible. Fair enough? Good, that's done. So, no need to come back and remind us of the upper-crust level of the clientele, or that this or that source isn't authoritative or accurate, or that you're right and I'm wrong, etc. Because...
(Also, it's worth keeping in mind, my figure was AFTER malpractice premiums. Those can take a bite out of a paycheck and leave a poor young surgeon barely able to make the payments on his Porsche Turbo Carrera.) [Edit to add: Figuratively speaking! No need to threadjack it to a bitch-fest over Porsche prices.]

You guys decide when it's enough...I reached that point days ago. $200k cash is on the nightstand, I'm done. Maybe we can just sort of pretend the guy has already come back with one final lame barb, and just leave it at that
For Democrats every day is opposite day. Getting destroyed in an election means the other side better wise up...record cold is evidence of too much heat...those who use guns to break the law will suddenly obey a law banning guns. And more law enforcement makes a community less safe.

I find it funny that some are in such a hurry to be happy little slaves.
According to yahoo sports both sides requested mediators to attend today's secret meeting...wherever it was. Maybe we are closer to a deal than reported. Hope so.
Players at yesterday's "meeting" in NJ included Craig Adams, Adrian Aucoin, Brad Boyes, Chris Campoli, Mathieu Darche, Shane Doan, Ron Hainsey, Jamal Mayers, Andy McDonald, Steve Montador, Brendan Morrison, Douglas Murray and Daniel Winnik. Bettman, Daly and some other NHL lawyers, but no owners.
We're all just amazed out of our hides that not one face-to-face negotiation took place, no progress made and no other meetings on the schedule, aren't we. *yawn* Glad they're as serious about getting an agreement hammered out as the fatuous twits with suet for brains in DC. Leadership has gone the way of the dodo (not the one in charge, the extinct bird)

I thought when you were having meetings to discuss the situation you, you know, actually have both sides at the same table? Dafuq is the point of a dozen players being at the table when there are no discussions able to take place because the owners' rep(s) aren't there?
The point
The whole point is that Bettman wants them to take his deal, eg attempt to browbeat the players. The whole thing is stupid. They must have the mediators running back and forth between the rooms. Another thought is that by not having everyone in the same room it keeps emotions out of the way of screwing up any real discussions.
Yeah that ship may have already sailed uf1910, but according to what I have recently read it is standard operating procedure for mediators to work this way. Hopefully they will find a compromise that works.
