Be mindful
With town meeting just around the corner, I would ask voters to bear in mind those Vermonters in the military, Merchant Marine, or homebound who are able to exercise their franchise only by absentee ballot. The introduction of items not included in the absentee ballot denies those Vermonters their opportunity to participate in their governance and makes a mockery of what is purportedly the purest expression of democracy.
In order to protect the rights of those who are not present to protect themselves, please consider moving to adjourn the meeting following completion of items on the absentee ballot. If that isnt possible, please consider offering amendments to ensure all items introduced from the floor are accurately described through addition of a statement such as, By a simple majority of those residents afforded the opportunity to physically attend town meeting.

Oct 5 2013
Actor Jude Law and musician Damon Albarn condemned charges of piracy against 30 Greenpeace activists following an Arctic oil rig protest as "ludicrous" as they joined worried relatives in a vigil outside the Russian Embassy.
Both men, along with Paul Simonon of the band The Clash, said the arrests were an international disgrace and a personal blow as they are friends with detainee Frank Hewetson.
Law said he was "exercising my right to peacefully protest" as he joined around 800 people at the central London vigil.
It is part of several being held across Britain and in 47 countries in support of the 30 people, including six Britons, who are now in Russian custody. The aim is to keep the pressure on the Russian authorities.
The Russian coast guard seized the ship Arctic Sunrise and everyone on board following the September 18 protest at the offshore platform owned by Russia's state-controlled energy giant Gazprom in the Pechora Sea.
The activists are now in custody in the northern city of Murmansk.
Law, whose children went to school with Mr Hewetson's, said: "I am just adding my face and body to the mass of support.
"The fact that there is a threat of conviction did not put them off.
"What is ludicrous is that they have been charged with piracy which has a threat of 15 years in prison.
"Of course I am worried about Frank because I care about his family and I care about him but I know that he is incredibly durable.
"I think that it is very interesting that the people over there probably knew there would be an arrest involved and the threat of a conviction is probably part and parcel of the act of drawing attention to the drilling in the Arctic which we all know is an international problem which needs confronting."
Protesters stood quietly behind banners declaring "Free the Climate Defenders", "Journalist and Not Pirate" and "Free The Arctic 30".
British freelance videographer Kieron Bryan and UK activists Mr Hewetson, Philip Ball, Alexandra Harris, Anthony Perrett and Iain Rogers have been charged over the protest.
To charge them with piracy is "ridiculous", Albarn said.
"It does seem to be a slightly different idea in Russia's collective head about what activism actually represents.
"Nine times out of 10 people who protest peacefully, whether it is through music or through trying to scale oil rigs, are doing it because they believe they are saying something that will ultimately benefit society as a whole.
"You have to remember that when the Russian government talks with this kind of rhetoric, it is actually being anti-humanitarian. And that is a shame because we put people in power to look after us presumably, but unfortunately rarely do they."
He went on: "I want to express my support for Frank, his family and all the other families because at the end of the day this is a very human thing.
"There are people who are terribly worried about their loved ones.
"Everyone is concerned because it is Russia and they have a very bad record of bowing to international pressure.
"They need to understand that these people are not a threat. This is something that is very human. It is not a political issue."
Simonon said: "This is a protest to show support. There is no reason why it could have been called piracy. "I am here to show my support to Greenpeace and the families."
Actors Imelda Staunton and Jim Carter later joined the protest.
The families of Mr Bryan and Ms Harris travelled from their homes in Devon for the vigil.
Mr Bryan's mother, Ann, said: "I am sick with worry; at least a protest like this makes me feel like we are not alone.
"None of the 30 should be facing that charge. Kieron was just doing his job."
Mr Bryan's father, Andy, said: "We do not want this attention to go away. We are coping with this day by day."
Ms Harris's sister, Georgina, said she had received an email from her sibling saying she was safe and warm and urging her not to worry.
Ms Harris said her sister seemed "emotional" and added: "It is hard not to worry considering everything that is going on.
"I am trying to stay positive but this is disgusting."
Greenpeace denies any wrongdoing and described the charge as "absurd and outrageous".
Campaigners wrote messages of "peace and solidarity" on paper doves, which are to be sent to those detained in Murmansk.

please make temporarly Forums for every Nation and every game. It would be very helpful for the gamers of every Nation.
After 1 and a half games played I realized, that its good that we have a chat to arrange terms, but it's very difficult to reach everyone in the nation, because it's a worldwide game. Besides it could be useful for statistics junkies like me, who made an excel spreadsheet of the top devry people dvided into resources.
Another suspect why forums are good, is that we could nationswitcher prevent from spying.
I don't knwo how complicated it is, but when this forums are inside Facebook, Firaxis should know the names, which are in every Nation.

Hi, good evening, hello.
I'm wondering what steps and measures ya'll enjoy taking for personal mastering. I've been fooling around with only compression, maybe a little limiting, and a tad bit of eq just to get rid of a few frequencies.
I'm not sure if I subscribe to the "go pay huge sums to get it mastered" school of thought, and feel that a producer's final sound is part of the personal art. Anyways, are there settings/plugins/tips you want to share?

Oracle Customer: ON24

Oracle Customer: ON24
Location: San Francisco, CA, United States
Industry: Professional Services
Employees: 250
ON24 provides a full range of cloud-based Webcasting and virtual communications solutions to more than 700 global organizations in publishing, technology, life sciences, government, and financial services—helping them to communicate with employees, clients, prospects, and partners with measurable impact. ON24's customers use its solutions for corporate and marketing initiatives, such as demand generation, conferences, events, product launches, training, continuing education, internal communications, and executive announcements.
Quality and high availability of the ON24 platform is critical for the company's business. ON24 Webcasts and virtual events run continuously through the day and any interruptions or even short degradations in system performance create major inconveniences for the around-the-clock, software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform and its users. Further, by nature, the system's load has a tendency to change frequently and quickly, literally growing from few hundred active users to tens of thousands in a matter of minutes, if not faster. To address these demands, ON24 implemented Oracle Coherence, integrating it with Oracle WebLogic Server's ActiveCache, to enable ON24 to store users' HTTP sessions on the grid for improved system performance and reliability. The solution enabled ON24 to eliminate service disruptions—for improved customer satisfaction—and reduce the hours spent on tuning and traffic switches by more than 90% each month.
"ON24's SaaS platform implementation is centered on Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence. The strategic decision for this was made based on proven, solid performance of these products and the high level of trust that ON24 places in Oracle." – Alexander Livitz, Senior Performance Architect, ON24
ON24 had used Oracle WebLogic Server for quite some time. WebLogic's performance, reliability, and high availability features placed it at the top of the marketplace's application server lineup. Server manageability and monitoring capabilities were also important factors for choosing WebLogic. Further, seamless integration with other Oracle products minimized typical integration pains.
The company decided to implement Oracle Coherence, integrating it with Oracle WebLogic Server to provide a central storage location that is accessible from any connected client node and making it clear which WebLogic server in the cluster is processing a segment of a given transaction.
"This unique technology is only provided by Oracle and integrates well with ON24's existing WebLogic infrastructure," said Alexander Livitz, senior performance architect, ON24 "Oracle Coherence is known for its high performance, high availability, and scalability—making it a great match for the strict requirements of the ON24 SaaS platform.
In addition, the flexibility of the Oracle licensing model, as well as support options, made choosing Oracle WebLogic Server and Oracle Coherence not only the best functional choice, but also a cost-effective option."
ON24 completed the entire project in four months by involving collaboration between different teams within organization, including those involved in software development, performance, network operations and quality assurance. Because it is pre-integrated with Oracle Coherence, implementing Oracle WebLogic's ActiveCache feature was straightforward. The product worked well, practically out-of-the-box. However, time was required to thoroughly test the solution, complete comparative performance analysis, define and develop traffic segregation rules, allocate hardware resources, and build automation scripts.
Oracle Partner
SL Corporation
ON24 worked with SL Corporation to monitor its Oracle Coherence Solution, using SL RTView.
"SL RTTView is the best Oracle Coherence monitoring solution out there," Livitz said. "Its rich graphics show our cluster as a whole, rather than requiring us to monitor each server individually."

According to Social Guide, 50% of all Social TV activity is about sporting events, making sports one of the most talked about cultural events on the web. Fans are following their favorite teams and athletes in real-time, sharing opinions about everything they do. To capitalize on this shift in consumer behavior, sports content publishers and teams are starting to weave social capabilities into the fabric of their websites and mobile applications, building experiences that put them at the center of the conversation. This effectively enables them to become the primary destination for real-time news and conversation about the topics that fans care about.
This innovative approach drives greater fan engagement and creates new opportunities for revenue generation. Echo customers are already seeing anywhere between 2 – 3X lifts in page views and user engagement after launching their Echo powered experiences.
Your Social Sports strategy should enable you to do the following:
- Turn every article or new piece of content into an opportunity for your audience to share comments in real-time, building a sense of community around the news on your site.
- Monetize user-generated forums that let fans create their own real-time discussion groups about teams or fantasy sports.
- Aggregate the social actions of artists from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other social networks into a real-time, interactive stream on your site.
- Feature real-time reactions to each post in the stream as nested conversations.
- Crowdsource photos and reactions to sporting events from Twitter, Facebook, GetGlue, YouTube and other social networks.
- Have VIP guests (athletes, coaches, sports casters and other celebrities) participate in live chats with their fans using a special moderated "green room".
- Enable fans to quickly login and participate in discussions using their login credentials from any one of over 25 popular social networks.
- Get deep social insights into your logged in users, including number of shares, amount of social activity and more.

- About the Book
Seventy kilometres off Australia's west coast lie a series of barren-looking atolls called the Abrolhos Islands. The seasonal inhabitants of these islands came from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and, like many isolated communities, have developed close links. Working together as a community they have built schools, halls, churches and lifelong friendships. Working together in the crayfishing industry they have faced hardships and tragedy. Yet, when they step onto their boats to go crayfishing, as one fisherman put it, 'it's a dog-cat-dog', and a spirit of intense competition reigns. In a series of interviews, portraits and drawings, Abrolhos Islands Conversations charts the changes, the characters, the laughter, the pain, and the tall tales of the Islands through the eyes of the fishermen and their families. From the times when freshwater was brought over in forty-four gallon drums tasting of fuel, to the mod cons of today, from boom days to lean times, this superbly illustrated book provides a fascinating insight into the characters and traditions of the Abrolhos Islands.

When Chad Cradock took over at the helm of the UMBC swimming and diving teams in 2001, becoming only the second head coach in the program�s 16-year history, he took over a program that was already one of UMBC�s most successful in the school�s Division-I era, earning him a contract extension through the 2011-2012 season.
But in his seven years as head coach, Cradock has raised the teams� stature even higher.
In UMBC�s final two seasons in the Northeast Conference, Cradock led both his men�s and women�s teams to two league titles, and the men also won their fifth and sixth consecutive ECAC crowns. In 2002, Cradock coached UMBC�s first NCAA qualifier in 13 years, Lindsey Prather. When UMBC joined the America East Conference in 2003, Cradock guided the Retrievers through a seamless transition, as both teams finished with school-best 12-1 records, and the men�s squad dominated at the league championships, scoring a then-record 901 points to take the title, while the women placed second.
In 2004-05, the men finished 10-0, becoming UMBC�s first-ever undefeated team, and captured another conference title by repeating as AEC champions and breaking their own league record for points with 920.
The 2005-06 campaign proved to be record-breaking for the women�s team, which posted a 9-1 dual meet record, winning the first eight meets of the season, and shattered 11 school records. The Retrievers took seven gold medals and finished second at the America East Championships, just 54 points behind two-time conference titlist New Hampshire, a huge improvement from a year earlier when UMBC was a distant third, 252 points behind the Wildcats. And though the men were just 6-4 in dual meets, they captured their ninth straight conference crown and third in the America East.
Then in 2007, Cradock made history as his women�s squad became the first women�s team from UMBC to claim an America East title in any sport, while the men once again displayed their dominance, capturing their fourth straight America East crown.
In addition, Cradock earned his 100th career victory in the 2006-07 season, when the Retrievers defeated Binghamton on Nov. 4, and his success has not gone unnoticed. He and his staff have been awarded numerous honors over the last seven years, including 2001-02 Northeast Conference Women's Coach of the Year, ECAC Men's Coach of the Year in 2001-02 and 2002-03 and America East Men's Coaching Staff of the Year in 2003-04 and 2004-05.
Last Season, the men once again dominated at the America East Championships, winning with a score of 929, a new record for most points scored, for an unprecedented fifth straight America East title and 11th straight conference championship overall. Although the women lost the second-most dual meets in Cradock�s career, they outpaced second-place Boston University by 56 points on their way to a second consecutive America East Championship.
Now entering his eighth season, Cradock holds an incredible 123-30 men�s and women�s combined record, good for an .804 winning percentage. Cradock has been a part of nine of the 10 league titles, as he served as an assistant coach for three seasons from 1997-2000.
A native of Barrie, Ontario, Cradock earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from UMBC in 1997 and was a four-year letter-winner for the Retriever swimming and diving program. �I really enjoyed my experience as an athlete at UMBC,� said Cradock, the recipient of UMBC�s Matt Skalsky Outstanding Scholar-Athlete award as a senior. �The friends that I made here are friends that I'll have for a lifetime, and the whole school experience was a tremendous run for me. Being from Canada, it was a dream-come-true to swim at UMBC, since I always wanted to go to the States to compete. To be successful on top of it all was even more amazing.�
While at UMBC, Cradock swam at the U.S. Open and was fifth in the 400-meter freestyle at the Canadian Olympic Trials in 1996. A mid-free and distance swimmer, he capped his senior season of 1997 by earning ECAC Swimmer of the Meet honors after winning the 200, 500 and 1,650-yard freestyle events and breaking pool records in the 200 and 500 free to lead the Retrievers to a second-place finish. The previous season he won both the 500 free and the mile.
Following his graduation, Cradock guided the UMBC Masters team to the 1998 YMCA short course national championship. Before arriving to coach the Masters team, Cradock was the assistant director at Camp Chikopi in Magnetawan, Ontario, where he coached alongside Olympic coaches. Cradock has also served as head coach of the Retriever Aquatic Club since 2000.
Cradock, who was inducted into the UMBC Athletic Hall of Fame in 2004, currently resides in Odenton, Md., with his wife Christie, their 5-year-old daughter Amanda and 2-year-old son Geoffrey, and their dog Riley.

'Something's up' at LinkedIn, per blog reports
Oh, Valley gossip: VentureBeat speculates we might soon hear about some big company buying business social network LinkedIn. The evidence? A board meeting that "went way over the scheduled time," and sources who say "good news" is on the way. Even VentureBeat admits it's a stretch, but asserts that "something's up."
LinkedIn isn't commenting. VentureBeat later added a note suggesting that the "good news" might be additional funding, not an acquisition.
Along with Digg and Plaxo, LinkedIn is one of those social-media companies that people just like to talk about… Read more


text: Home World Is War in Southern Sudan Inevitable? Five months ago, Southern Sudan overwhelmingly voted to secede from Sudan. But will bloodshed cut short the July 9 Independence Day celebrations? By: Sunni M. Khalid Posted: June 28 2011 12:10 AM 0 Getty Images/AFP Reports from Southern Sudan's capital, Juba, are that preparations are already well under way for festivities planned for July 9 to celebrate the independence of Africa's newest nation. (Five months ago, the South overwhelmingly voted for a referendum to break away and form its own nation.) But those celebrations may be short-lived thanks to recent clashes between Sudanese government forces (the Sudanese Armed Forces, or SAF) and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement in the disputed region of Abyei. Both sides have agreed to demilitarize the region, but satellite imagery shows heavily armed government forces, backed by tanks, massing along the still-undefined border between Sudan and Southern Sudan. There has been fighting in South Kordofan province and the Nuba Mountains -- border regions sympathetic to the South -- where tens of thousands have been displaced amid a government offensive. As if that weren't enough, Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir has threatened to block the pipeline that runs from oil fields in the South to storage facilities in the North. Southerners, Bashir said last week, "have one of three options: Either they share the oil, or they pay fees and taxes for every single barrel that passes through the North, or we shall shut down the pipeline." The saber rattling from Khartoum on the eve of independence for Southern Sudan is not surprising, according to Dr. Jim Sulton, a former president of the Sudan Studies Association. He told The Root that despite independence, the two nations will remain interdependent, and each side will try to maximize its leverage over the other. "I never thought the North would let [Southern independence] come to pass, but Bashir decided to let that go," Sulton said. "But [the Southern Sudanese government] are like the dog who caught the bus; they don't know what to do with it. The issue is about the pipeline. The Southerners can catch the bus and have the oil, but they can't pump it out. The North relented to international calls for independence for the South because they kept the oil. The Southerners didn't nail down the revenue part." Does this mean that war between Khartoum and Juba is inevitable? Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. "There was never any question that there would be bloodshed," Sulton said. "Until you win the war, you can't control the revenue. Khartoum will always win the military part and the revenue. It's up to Khartoum whether you will be on your own. I'm not cynical; I'm realistic." Five months before Sudan declared its independence from the United Kingdom and Egypt on Jan. 1, 1956, civil war began when members of the Sudan Defense Force Equatorial Corps mutinied in the Southern towns of Juba, Torit, Maridi and Yei. They rebelled when Northern politicians in the capital, Khartoum, reneged on an agreement to install a federal system in Sudan, with considerable autonomy for the new nation's mostly non-Arab and non-Muslim South. By the time Sudan's first civil war ended in 1972, with the Addis Ababa Agreement that granted Southern autonomy -- more than a half-million people had been killed, and hundreds of thousands were displaced.

Picnics are a perfect way to enjoy getting together with friends and family this summer. Use these food-safety tips from Hellmann's to make sure everyone has fun and no one gets ill.
- Cold perishable food should be kept in a cooler at 40 degrees or below until it's time to serve.
- Foods like cold salads or desserts in individual serving dishes can be placed directly on ice. Drain off water as ice melts, and replace ice frequently.
- Hot food should be kept hot, at or above 140 degrees.
- Wrap hot foods well, and place in an insulated container until serving.
- Once served, no food should sit out for longer than two hours –– one hour if the outdoor temperature is above 90 degrees. To be safe, throw away any food that has been left out longer.

Palm Restaurant - Las Vegas
Online Reservations
Seated immediately at a table with a great view. I loved our waiter, Max. He was on the ball! I ordered chicken Parmesan and the second it was placed on the table he recognized that I was served veal and he had the kitchen fix the error. After dinner he brought a slice of cheesecake. Great energy and people watching and the entire staff from the host to the busboy were excellent.
We always seek out The Palm when we are travelling to a city that has one. This time we were in Vegas and, as always, it was a terrific experience...The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Highly recommend.
Restaurante de carnes bastante fino, pertenece a una cadena que tiene varios establecimientos, inclusive uno aquí en el DF que se llena de políticos y gente seria (por ,lo cual aquí no me llama), llegue con reservación y todo fue atención y excelente comida, acerté a pedir un "Jumbo Lump Crab Cake" que ha sido uno de los mejores platillos que he probado en años, además de un filete de lo mejor y un "Cheesecake estilo New York" que estaba mejor que en la foto; comida 9.5, servicio 9, P/P 125 dólares, APENAS PUEDA REGRESO!
We were there to celebrate a friends birthday and we had a wonderful experience. Everyone was pleased with their entree and the wine list was exceptional! The service was perfect!
Typical for Palm. Great food, great service, great.wine list. Good variety and value on the menu.
This was our first visit to this resturant. It my was wedding anniversary. The food was great. The best steak I have every had. Terry The waitress was very nice, attentive, and informative. I would visit afain.
We really enjoyed our lunch at Palm Restaurant. Our steaks were well seasoned and cooked exactly the way we like them.
I love steakhouses and the Palm never disappoints. Food and service was excellent. Definitely recommend.
Thank you again Palm Restaurant Las Vegas. As always the cuisine and service is wonderful. There is still no other restaurant that can compare with the blue cheese salad dressing and the bread assortment; the ability for the Palm to create their lobster salad at lunch is always appreciated and excellent; and the service is also excellent. Thank you always to Josephine for accommodating our reservations and to Brascia for such friendly and very very attentive service !!! See you again in Nov.
Overall experience was good. Food was very good and no delays between courses.
I once went there every time I went to Vegas. Haven't been for several years so I told my guests that I was keeping with a ritual. It was a real treat for all of us "Okies". It brought back a lot of good memories for me, the main one being the excellent food!
Business group of 8.. Casual dress.. Good food, good service... we'll be back!
What a great night -- the steak was perfect, the scene was energetic...and the service by Tony was nothing short of perfect. We look forward to our next visit...and soon! One more thing...while we were waiting on our table, an emergency happened with one of the diners at a table in the front area in the Forum Shops. The professionalism, concern, and immediate action of the staff at the Palm was extraordinary. These folks are terrific.
WE love the Palm! Ask for Memo, he's the best! We had a porcini-rubbed NY Steak and carpaccio and crab cake appetizer...and Memo always provides cheesecake (on the house!)...food was first class, service the same...drinks served timely...love it!
The Palm Las Vegas was my introduction to this wonderful brand. What better place to celebrate my birthday during a return trip. On my arrival I was taken to a table strewn with confetti celebration and a personalized, handwritten birthday greeting note. Charles was a most attentive but not intrusive waiter as expected. The wine he suggested was as promised. The food was fabulous - lobster bisque, crabcake, filet mignon, cottage chips and onions - and the flourless chocolate cake that never fails to please! The Palm is a must for food, wine and service.
I have been going to the Palm Restaurant for years while in Las Vegas and in San Diego. The service and food is impecable and it is a never fail wonderful experience. I only wish there was a Palm in Orange County Ca where I live!!!
I love The Palm Restaurant in both Dallas and Las Vegas. This was my return visit for lunch at the location inside Caesar's Forum Shops, with great view from patio dining area Both times I was tended to by attentive, polite wait staff. The Power Lunch was awesome and is a terrific value for fine dining on the Strip. My beef filets were perfect cooked rare to medium-rare. The lobster bisque and cheesecake were both delicious.
A great bar and eatery. Wonderful food professional staff. Dark wood creates ambiance in the bar. LX Vegas style bar-top without video poker games. Great for everyday as well as special occasions.
My wife and I were celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary and the staff of the Palm made our visit one of the most enjoyable and memorable dining experiences of our wonderful marriage. They even knew which table we sat at on our wedding night 10 years ago to the day and made sure it was available, complete with decorations and an anniversary card, for this special occasion.
Wonderful place will recommend in the future, will also be back. Chicken Parm, was excellent.
Lunch is a better value than dinner. Food was excellent.
My wife and I went to The Palm for her 30th birthday. When we showed up the hostess was extremely friendly. I told them that it was my wife's birthday and they told us that was wonderful. They set up out table with a birthday card and some birthday décor. Our waiter came to our table promptly and was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. He recommended some great sides that we very very good. We both had the filet which was prepared perfectly and had a great flavor. After dinner we had there cheese cake for dessert and I would say that it had to be the best I have ever had. I will be back to this place every time that I am in Vegas.
I ordered the filet and it was the best steak I have ever eaten! The waiter and staff hustled to meet all of our needs! I will highly recommend the place for the food and service. Very loud though!
I have been going to this restaurant for years while attending an annual trade show. Never disappointed. Incredible service, lively bar scene and a menu to please any pallet. Make sure you try the lump crab meat appetizer. Great wine list. Prices in line for this kind of dinning in Las Vegas.
Not the first time at this establishment, it never fails to impress. I usually make it a point to dine here with a small group of friends and colleagues when we are in town, and everything is always superb. Service is impeccable, wine list is very good, food is excellent, no complaints. However, very important, make reservations very early, especialy if there is a convention in town that you are either part of or not. I recommend at least 4-7 days in advance. Otherwise, table wait times can be discouraging, but definitely worth the wait.
We had a fantastic family dinner at the Palm - including two toddlers (ages 4 and 2). The staff was fantastic, set up a table in a corner, and talked and joked with the kids! Dinner and vegetables were fabulous. We dine here every time we come to Las Vegas - and we will definitely return.
Went with my two brothers for my B-day dinner while in Las Vegas for a guy outing. The Palms is easy to find in the Forum shop area. Nice decor, low lighting, white table cloths the whole 9 yards. Service was fantastic our waiter was right on it with wine, waters, food. Started with calamari - brought out right away - very tasty. Two of us ordered the Filet Mignon steaks, and one order of veal - all dinners were prepared perfectly and my one brother said best veal dish he had ever had - actually took back the left overs to the hotel room. BTW my steak was excellent - tender, lot's of flavor. Overall I will be back next time in Vegas with the wife.
This was our second visit. Again, they did not disappoint us in any way. HHS meat was perfect. My only suggestion to improve is that their mixed drinks are a bit skimpy for the price. For Vegas, they should be on par with other restaurants in the bar. I will go again.
Our waiter was fantastic. The food was great. We sat in a booth in the back which was nice and cozy. I did not want to sit out in the mall area.
Took my husband here for lunch for his birthday while in Vegas the good was amazing but the service was even better
This is a place for steak and lobster. Food is outstanding.
This is our "go to" special place. We took our daughter and son in law to celebrate their anniversary. We all had the filet and it was cooked perfectly. It just happened the night we went there was a "charity three course dinner" offered. It is nice to know we were not only having a memorial dinner but that it was helping others as well.
Palm, is my wife and my favorite special occasion restaurant. This occasion our 33rd anniversary. Everything was perfect. We split a 16 oz. bone in file mignon and 1/2 lobster. Shrimp Bruno appetizer was incredible. Extensive wine menu. Totally awesome service and food quality is second to none.
Food quality was consistant with others Palms around the country. Service was very good.
Party of 5. Food & service were outstanding. Our waiter Barry was the best!
The food was outstanding as always...the Lobster Bisque is the best and the fillet of Oscar was delicious! Dutch was out waiter and was terrific!..Can't wait to get back to Vegas and go again!
When in Las Vegas we always dine at our favorite Palm. I ordered the lobster and my husband steak. Both were outstanding!!! We were disappointed in the sides. We ordered creamed spinach and signature half and half ( potatoes and onion rings). The spinach was extremely salty and the potatoes and onion rings consisted of mostly onion rings and few potatoes. We have ordered both in the past and there was definite difference. All in all our entrees and the service were excellent.
This restaurant never disappoints. Excellent food, generous portions and great atmosphere.
Busy yet very friendly place to go eat. Waiter was fun and attentive, Ordered 2 person New York steak and it was perfectly cooked and, to say the least, mouth watering delicious.
We were looking for a place to have Thanksgiving dinner while on our Vegas vacation.....Palm was a great choice.....warm, friendly atmosphere, great wine selection, impeccable service, and most of all, our meal was everything we hoped for.....located in the shopping area right outside of Caesar's Palace.....free parking, easy to get to......we highly recommend Palm. We will be returning there on our next Vegas vacation to try some of the menu items.
We had a super great time and the food was fantastic!
excellent service from beginning to the very end . the food was prepared the way it was ordered and was delicious.
We started with the calamari appetizer...the house-made marinara was sooo good, our daughter ended up getting spaghetti with the sauce for dinner with a salad! The bread basket is always amazing, the caesar salad is one of the best in town! Our other daughter had the Gigi salad and LOVED it! We shared a bone-in filet, baked potato and all of us shared roasted brussel sprouts. All was perfect! Mimo is our favorite server, his son Vinny is our second choice! And we enjoyed the NY cheesecake dessert (on Mimo, he's awesome!) Can't wait to come back!
The food is always excellent! Try the key lime pie. The service was a bit off tonight, but that can happen. Overall, ti's a great place to dine with colleagues and family.
The Palm Restaurant in the Forum Shops at Caesar Palace is always consistent. The food is great, this dinner included the veal chop and salmon and both were fantastic. The service is always attentive and very professional. Thanks again. See you soon.
Server was excellent. Explained how great steak restaurants know how to cook a steak "extra Pittsburgh medium." It was excellent prepABBred steaK.
Eaten there 3 times now. Service is outstanding! Food a little pricey, but very, very delicious!! We always eat there when in Vegas! I would definitely recommend it!
The servers were very accommodating. I shared the lobster special with a friend, the meal was by far the best I've had. The lobster is expensive, and a lot to eat so I suggest sharing the meal with someone. The restaurant has a cozy ambiance and would be ideal for a romantic dinner, but can also accommodate a medium sized group. Overall, the food was delicious, they had great service and I enjoyed my meal.
If I wasn't out in public I would lick the plate.....it's that good.....
Excellent service, great food, and quiet dining. A known quality meal. The only downside to this restaurant is that you have to know that quality comes at a price.

The mines and their processing plants—owned by Cliffs Natural Resources Inc., ArcelorMittal USA and U.S. Steel Corp.—turn low-grade iron ore into high-grade pellets that are used to make steel.
The negotiations in Pittsburgh are part of a larger set of nationwide talks between steel companies and the union over contracts that all expire at midnight Friday. Industry observers say a nationwide shutdown at ArcelorMittal, in particular, could seriously impact the economy.
"They're still negotiating. That's always a good sign," Wayne Ranick, a national spokesman for the Steelworkers in Pittsburgh, said Thursday.
So far, both sides are saying little, declining even to name the major unresolved issues in the Cliffs and U.S. Steel talks. But the union says ArcelorMittal—a unit of Luxembourg-based ArcelorMittal S.A., the world's largest steel company—wants deep concessions.
"They're keeping it close to their chests in Pittsburgh now," said Steve Lere, financial secretary for Steelworkers Local 6860, which represents workers at Cliffs-owned United Taconite in Eveleth.
More than 4,000 mine employees in Minnesota and Michigan are among around 29,000 Steelworkers nationwide who are covered by the talks.
Other affected mining operations include Cliffs-managed Hibbing Taconite in Minnesota; the Cliffs-managed Empire and Tilden mines in Palmer, Mich.; U.S. Steel's Minntac mine in Mountain Iron, Minn., and Keetac mine in Keewatin, Minn.; and ArcelorMittal's Minorca Mine in Virginia, Minn. The Cliffs operations supply U.S. Steel and ArcelorMittal.
"Cliffs has had record profits for the last four years. We're just trying to keep what we had and maybe get a little bit more out of the deal," Lere said.
Spokeswomen for Cliffs and U.S. Steel said their companies aren't commenting on specifics of the negotiations. Cliffs has said it's ready to use replacement workers if needed.
Both sides, however, indicate negotiations have been contentious between the union and ArcelorMittal.
"As we get closer to the contract deadline of September 1, ArcelorMittal is in continuous dialogue with the United Steelworkers and remains optimistic about reaching a fair and equitable contract with the USW without a work stoppage," the company said in a statement Thursday. "As a precautionary measure ... ArcelorMittal has recently begun the process of taking asset preservation steps at its facilities should a work stoppage occur," the statement continued.
The Steelworkers offered a grim take on the ArcelorMittal talks in a statement Wednesday.
"Unfortunately, the company has maintained its insistence on the kind of concessions that we have been reporting to you, including two-tier wages and benefits, attacks on our contractual rights, and cutting back our health care," the statement read.
U.S. Steel has sounded optimistic from the beginning, but the impact of an ArcelorMittal shutdown would be devastating, said David Phelps, president of the American Institute for International Steel. He said he hasn't seen anything that makes him think those talks are close to being resolved.
"Everybody's holding their breath right now," Phelps said.
ArcelorMittal is North America's largest steel producer, Phelps said, and steel supplies could run out quickly unless the company has made plans to bring some in from overseas.
"Customers are going to very quickly run out of material and there's going to be a big price spike," he said.
Effects would be felt throughout the transportation and logistics chain, Phelps said. For example, he said, Great Lakes ore carriers would be affected because there's no need to ship pellets to an idle steel mill.

Women's College BasketballManhattan College 63, Rider University 47Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Game
RIVERDALE, N.Y.--Junior Ali Heller (Boca Raton, Fla./St. Andrews) tied a career-high with 14 points, including 12 points from three-point range and sophomore Caitlin Bopp (Baltimore, Md./Inst. of Notre Dame) had her 15th career 'double-double' (14 points, 12 rebounds) but it was not enough as the Rider University women's basketball team lost a Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference game at Manhattan on Monday evening.
"Our defense this time around was much better," said head coach Lynn Milligan who saw the Jaspers score 71 and defeat the Broncs by 28 points in Lawrenceville 11 days ago. "Tonight, we gave up too many second opportunities and those opportunities led to three-point baskets."
The Jaspers made 10 three-pointers in the game.
Manhattan (13-6, 5-3 MAAC) opened the game on a 5-0 run before sophomore Dior Brown (Upper Darby, Pa./Upper Darby) hit a layup and Bopp hit two free throws to get the Broncs within one five minutes into the game. D. Brown had two points but left the game with a shoulder injury late in the first half and did not return.
Leading 5-4, the Jaspers went on a 13-0 run to lead 18-4 with 9:55 left in the opening half before Heller hit a three-pointer to bring Rider to within 11.
Trailing 23-10, Rider (2-17, 2-6 MAAC) scored seven of the next 11, three points by Heller to cut the Jasper lead to seven (24-17) with 2:51 left in the opening half. Manhattan scored the final three points of the half and led 27-17 at intermission.
Manhattan held Rider to a season-low 4-21 shooting (19 percent) in the opening 20 minutes.
Trailing 35-22, the Broncs scored 14 of the next 22, six points by Heller and four from Bopp, cutting the Jasper lead to seven (43-36) with nine minutes remaining in the game. Heller leads the nation in three-point field goal percentage (.517) and was four for eight from long range in the game while pulling down a career-high five rebounds.
"Caitlin worked very hard so that we got more touches in the post this time," Milligan said. "Ali also did well in getting some open looks and also got herself to the free throw line. Overall, we just didn't get ourselves enough opportunities in the game; we gave up too many threes and didn't make enough shots."
Bopp now has five 'double-doubles' on the season and this is the fourth time in four career games against Manhattan that Bopp has posted a 'double-double'.
Leading 45-38, Manhattan put the game away with a 15-5 run, opening up an 18-point lead with 3:16 left.
Alyssa Herrington led the Jaspers with 15 points, making four three-pointers in the second half.
Manhattan finished with 21 assists on 22 made field goals, led by nine assists from Abby Wentworth. Wentworth had 11 points and added four steals in 36 minutes of play.
"Until very late in the game, we hung around and we were never really out of the game," Milligan added. "We were able to cut the lead to seven several times but never got that momentum changing run that we needed."
Also for Rider, freshman MyNeshia McKenzie (Springfield, Pa./Springfield (Delco)) had eight rebounds, four on the offensive glass.
The Jaspers have won five of six. Rider has lost two straight.
Bopp now has 398 career rebounds, one behind Chelsea Brown for 19th best all-time at Rider. Brown had 399 boards from 1989-1992.
This was the 32nd meeting and second in the past 11 days between Rider and Manhattan with the Jaspers winning 24 times. Manhattan won 71-43 in Lawrenceville on January 13 and swept the season series.
"We did a good job of adjusting to what Manhattan was able to do to us the first time around," Milligan said. "We took a step forward and out-rebounded them and that's a positive."
The Broncs controlled the boards 37-28 including 13-11 on the offensive glass.
Rider hosts five-time defending MAAC champion Marist on Friday, January 28 in Alumni Gym at 7pm. The Red Foxes survived a late run by Loyola Maryland Monday night to win their 13th in a row 62-52 and improve to 8-0 in the MAAC and 18-2 overall.
"Marist is playing really well right now," said Milligan. "We are going to have to execute our offense very well and be fundamentally sound. They take advantage of every mistake you make so we are going to have to limit our mistakes and be 'on-point' with our defensive assignments."

Apologies if this is an obvious question...
My library is only slightly larger than my device capacity. I'd like to synchronise my entire library with the exception of particular albums/ artists.
