Article "Stacked Deck"
From The Legal Times
Vol XXI
No. 44
"STACKED DECK"- Tribes Claim Gaming
Panel Favors Old-Line Casinos. With the federal commission on
gambling in the midst of drafting its final report—which
will include recommendations to Congress on how to address the
rapid growth of the gaming industry—pro- and anti-gambling
forces of all stripes are girding for a fresh lobbying battle.
So its no surprise that when the panel, known
as the National Gambling Impact Study Commission, held its last
scheduled hearings in Washington earlier this month, there was
no shortage of anxious advocates in the audience, from the American
Gaming Association to the National Council on Problem Gambling.
But few were as distressed as Thomas Rodgers,
a lobbyist for the National Indian Gaming Associations, which
represents the 168 Indian nations with gambling operations.
This is a fundamentally flawed process, Rodgers
says. Rodgers, a member of the Blackfoot Tribe in Montana, and
others point to a series of events since the commission was
first established that they say illustrates a disturbing pattern.
For example:
The commission has only one Native American
representativeRobert Loescher, a member of Alaskas Tlingit
Tribe, which has no gambling facilities. President Clinton planned
to nominate Tadd Johnson, a Native American with ties to a gaming
tribe, but passed him over after pressure from critics who said
Johnson would leave the commission with too many pro-gambling
The Nevada and New Jersey gaming interests, on
the other hand, have J. Terrence Lanni, CEO of the MGM Grand
in Las Vegas; William Bible, former chairman of Nevadas State
Gaming Control Board, who has also held a number of other state
government posts; and John Wilhelm, president of Hotel Employees
and Restaurant Employees International Union, which represents
75,000 casino employees. And anti-gambling forces have two representatives,
the most vocal being James Dobson, president of Focus on the
Family and a harsh critic of all gambling.
Loescher says its been hard for him at times
to get the Indians message across to his colleagues: Its
been a difficult exercise to educate the full commission about
the aspects of tribal sovereignty.
But Shosky says none of the commissioners arrived
with the preconceived ideas about gambling or what kinds of
recommendations they should make to Congress. The Commissioners
have been more than open to the facts and arguments that have
been presented by all sides, he says.
Rodgers and two other sources familiar with
the panel say a staffer hired to draft the Indian gaming section
of the report had her role diminished
Ellis & Rouvelas Meeds
who represents the Mississippi Band of Choctow Indians, says
a first draft seemed fair in its treatment of tribal gaming,
and finds it very troubling that the final report may be tainted
by indications of improper meddling.
Shosky adamantly denies this, saying that while
the commission did make some staff changes, the moves were dictated
solely by workload demands.
The chairman of the Indian gaming subcommittee,
Paul Harold Moore, a Mississippi native appointed by Senate
Majority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), has made a few remarks
that the Native Americans found offensive.
At one point in the proceedings, for example,
Moore noted that the tribal gaming regulations were self-enforced
and seemed to indicate that he had a problem with, as he puts
it, Indians checking Indians. In another instance, Moore asked
whether Native Americans were going to scalp the new California
governor to get a gambling compact.
Moore was traveling last week and unavailable
for comment. But Shosky says that Moore has been one of the
Indians most ardent defenders and that his remarks were taken
out of context. Hes one of the best, fairest, most open-minded
people anyone could ask for, Shosky says.
The only two major votes the commission has
taken to date related to Native American issues, and in both
cases, Loescher was outvoted 8-1. In one, the commission voted
to ask the interior secretary not to issue regulations on Indian
gaming agreements until its report is finished. Without the
secretarys involvement, Native Americans say, they have nowhere
to turn if states and tribes cant come to an agreement on their
own or if a governor doesnt bargain with them in good faith.
That move raised eyebrows on the Hill; Sen. Ben
Nighthorse Campbell (R-Col), chairman of the Indian Affairs
Committee, issued a letter calling the commissions move inappropriate
and beyond the scope of its legislative charge.
Shosky says the commission weighed in on the Interior
Department regulations because it made sense; after all, he
asks, why should that agency write regulations without benefit
of the commissions research and input?
The commission has repeatedly clashed with Native
Americans over the panels requests for financial and other
data that tribes say is proprietary but that commissioners argue
is necessary for them to evaluate Indian gaming. In February,
the commissioners voted to set up a procedure to subpoena the
National Indian Gaming Commission, the regulatory body for tribal
gaming, to get that data, although the panel is still trying
to resolve the dispute without taking that legal step. For non-Indian
casinos, the information is already public, but Native Americans
say the 1988 Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) makes their
financial information proprietary.
Shosky says the commissions requests are straightforward.
We believe we have a congressional mandate to look at this
information because we need it to do the job that was assigned
to us by Congress, he says.
But Rodgers and others arent persuaded by any
of the commissioners explanations and suggest that the panel
has ignored facts that didnt fit their preconceptions.
He and others are concerned that the commissions
report will call for taxation of tribes gaming revenues or
for federal regulations forcing the wealthier gaming tribes
to share revenues with poorer tribestrampling on tribal sovereignty
in the process.
The tribes believe they are 100 percent taxed
because of IGRA, which requires they spend all the money on
tribal governance, infrastructure, and social and welfare programs,
says Loescher. But the notion of adding another tax seems to
be where the full commission wants to go.
Of course, whether any commission recommendations
ever become law is another question entirely. Once the report
lands on the Hill, the tribes and other gaming interests will
have to grapple with a different dynamicone theyre more accustomed
The gambling industry has long wielded considerable
political clout on the Hill, and Indian tribes have recently
started to ratchet up their Washington activities.
In 1991-92 election cycle, for example, the gambling
industry gave more the $1.1 million in campaign contributions;
Native American gaming money made up 11 percent of that total,
according to a study by the Center for Responsive Politics.
In the 1995-96 cycle, Indian contributions made
up 27 percent of the more than $6.7 million the gambling industry
doled out to the candidates in individual, soft and PAC contributions.
(In the last election cycle, the industry forked over about
$5.7 million, although the center didnt break out of the Native
American contributions.)
And theres no question that Native American advocates
will crank up their lobbying engine on the Hill now that the
commissions work is starting to wrap up.
This report might come out and it might just
nick us, but were preparing for the worst. Rodgers says. We
will now turn our attention to educating policy-makers on Capitol
as to the process that was followed with this commission
and the true story of what gaming has provided to a few Indian

The word 'endodontics' originates from the Greek roots endo- "inside" and odont- "tooth" and is the dental specialty concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp. Endodontists perform a variety of procedures.
Do you have questions or doubts about endodontic treatment? Check our FAQ page for frequently asked questions and answers.
We use new and advanced Technology for Endodontic therapy. We have STA single tooth Anesthesia system, digital radiography, Operating microscopes, apex locators, etc. All these devices are important to root canal treatment.
Endodontic treatment is carried out by a dentist to save a tooth. It is required when there is an inflammation or infection of the pulp. The dentist will ensure you are comfortable during the procedure.
In some cases, after a tooth has undergone an Endodontic treatment, it fails to heal and it becomes painful or diseased months after the treatment. In such cases, an Endodontric retreatment is necessary to save the tooth.
Sometimes, a nonsurgical root canal procedure alone cannot save your tooth. Your dentist can recommend Endodontic surgery. It is a procedure used to locate small fractures or hidden canals that cannot be detected by x-rays. Traumatic dental injuries are common in children, but adults can also be affected. The injuries can be as a result of an automobile accident, bad fall or altercation etc. We have qualified Endodontists who will take care of such injuries.People develop cracked teeth as a result of crack inducing habits such as clenching, grinding and chewing on hard objects. Cracked teeth can be treated by extracting the tooth or using Endodontric treatment.
Do you have a chipped or fractured teeth? An Endodontist can help you avoid tooth extraction. Symptoms of a chipped and fractured tooth is sensitivity to touch, hot and cold. It should be treated as soon as possible.A dislodged tooth can be a result of injury. It is a tooth pushed sideways, out of, or into its socket. Our Endodontist will reposition and stabilize your tooth with a splint. Avulsed tooth is a tooth that is knocked out of your mouth. If you experience this kind of injury, you will need to pick up the tooth and go to the dentist immediately. The dentist will stabilize the tooth with a splint.
Root fracture is a dentin and cementum fracture involving the pulp. It can be treated with a splint or root canal treatment.

more on Tim and things worth dying for
It's been a couple of weeks now. Things have quieted down. I no longer have to remind myself every time I wake up that Tim is dead.
Tim's death hit me hard. Harder than I might have expected. Perhaps because I had know him for less, so much less time than those around me who effectively went to school with him. Perhaps because our friendship was unusual, we'd met in different countries, coincided at different points in time, sporadic brief and to-the-point emails. I hadn't realized how much I expected Tim to be a part of my future, and it hit me that my pain at loosing him was very selfish, because I realized that without Tim around, my life will be less interesting. With Tim around, my life would have been better. It is indeed my loss.
I think most of us non-photojournalism-world friends have been quite surprised to see the extended coverage, love, respect and appreciation that has been focused on Tim's life and achievements this past weeks. He was a smart, passionate, determined guy out on a mission, and there is no doubt that what he achieved was special, meaningful and exceptional. But one question kept hunting me: was it worth dying for?
Thehubs rightly pointed out that he probably never expected to. One thing everyone agrees on is that Tim was exceptionally smart, and as tough and daredevil a life as he chose to lead, the fact is that probability was on his side.
This should not have happened.
The day before Tim's death thehubs turned forty. I struggled to explain to my kids why it was such a significant birthday
"we are marking the halfway point of his life" I told them.
Tim's been cheated out of that half, and looking at what he achieved in the first half, you just have to mourn all that we missed out on.
I admonished a friend who complained about turning old
"you celebrate a birthday because you didn't die" I told him "we have forgotten this. We take life for granted."
I'd had this conversation with Tim. He didn't.
The hubs and I have been stranded in a Swiss postcard with the kids for the Easter holidays.During the day we play amongst the wild flowers and the cows. At night the bottle of wine comes out and we remember and mourn the loss of our friend. We even have a soundtrack.
He's been hit with a sense of urgency to make his life meaningful: It's too short to waste on red tape and politics, the need to move closer to the field, to where the pain is, make every day count. I can't help thinking how since I met Tim, about nine years ago now, he had always expressed his desire to be in love, in marriage, with kids. I guess like the rest of us he assumed he had all the time in the world to get around to doing that. Tim achieved so much partly because of his sensitivity and partly because of his stern determination, which I hear was there long before any of us got a whiff of where it might take him. But it strikes me that, as usual, everything comes at a price. Not just the ultimate one he paid in Misurata, but the fact that he had to let go of one side of him, another Tim and another life he never got around to.
He achieved so much more than what most of us might expect to in our full lives, but the question kept hunting me.
I happened to be reading a book on terrorism and war. One I wonder if he'd read as he would have surely enjoyed it. I kept scouting the book for answers to my questions when I came across this:
"the noble man's soul has two goals:
To die or to achieve its dreams
What is life if I don't live?"
Then it came to me, clear and simple: Tim did not go to Libya in search of death, he was there going about his business of living life to the fullest, the only way he really knew how, when death, being the rude maiden she is, walked in and ruined everything. Bottom line is it could have happened anywhere, at least it caught him fully living.

Hunters are obsessed with accurate rifles — but often mystified as to why some are and some are not. Gunsmiths and even custom gun makers admit they are often mystified, too. Despite the best barrels and most careful rifle construction — using all of their accurizing tricks, gun makers still find rifles that won't shoot.
The average hunter doesn't have the time, resources or know-how to "accurize" a rifle, but he can easily conduct a series of tests that reveal the most accurate ammunition a rifle will shoot.
It's a well known fact that some rifles shoot poorly until fed one specific load. Something about the combination of powder charge and bullet shape/weight/construction combine to maximize accuracy. Finding this load should be every hunter's first step toward hunting and shooting precision. And here's how to do it.
- First, select your three or five favorite loads/bullets and buy a box of each. To save $, just get two at a time and pit the winner against a new load later. Use the excess "inaccurate" loads for field practice. Don't be afraid to get bullets heavier and lighter than you might prefer. Game animals rarely notice the difference between 130, 140, 150 and 160-grain bullets, but your rifle might.
- Set up a rock-solid bench/table and enough sand bags or other rifle supports to hold the rifle dead steady as you shoot. It isn't a fair test to shoot from pillows or coats laid over your truck hood.
- Adjust the diopter ring on your scope so the reticle appears crisp and sharp against a clear background. If the scope has a parallax adjustment, dial that until the target at 100 yards is as sharp as possible.
- Calm yourself, align crosshair on target, note how much the reticle moves against the target as you breathe and squeeze the trigger ON AN EMPTY CHAMBER. When you hear the click of the firing pin falling, note where the reticle was on the target. It should not have moved. Do this dry firing many times until you SEE that you are not flinching or moving the rifle.
- Load a single round into the chamber and squeeze off one shot with the same precision you did while dry firing.
- Repeat step 4 as necessary to end any flinching. Then repeat step 5 two more times. Do not adjust your scope turrets at any time during this 3-shot test firing (as long as bullets are hitting the target.) You are watching for how closely three bullets land to one another.
- Repeat this 3-shot test firing with your next load. Compare the two. To be safe, shoot one or two more 3-shot groups. Select the load that is most accurate. Don't worry if one shoots lower or higher than the other. Final zeroing comes later.
- If both loads group within 1/2" of one another, select the winner based on bullet type/weight/construction that matches your hunting needs. You don't want to pit a thin-skinned varmint bullet against a moose or a bonded bullet against a ground hog.
- Understand what "hunting accuracy" is. A load that consistently keeps three consecutive shots inside 2 inches (2MOA) sounds horribly inaccurate, but that 2 MOA load will park bullets within 4 inches of your Point-of-Aim at 400 yards. On the 12" to 16" vital zone of a deer's chest, that's a killing hit every time.
- If unsatisfied with the accuracy your first two test loads deliver, try a new load or two.

Such a tragedy. No one expects to lose a loved one while they are simply commuting to work.ReplyDeleteReplies
The saddest part is how preventable it was. Just terrible.Delete
I used to always sit in the front car so I could save a few seconds by beating the crowd when the train arrived at the final station. Several years ago I was sitting in the front car when we hit a pickup truck that tried to run the crossing gate. I will never forget that moment. The impact was so great that I thought that the train would derail. The noise of the event is permanently etched into my mind. The driver of the pickup was late for work and tried to beat the train. He died instantly. The conductor and train engineer were both devastated and emotional. I was personally very upset and since that day I never again rode in the front car.ReplyDelete

Using the web offers prospects with the chance to check numerous completely different websites unexpectedly they usually can therefore go with no matter they understand as finest. Furthermore, the Internet is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a yr, so you do not have to rush or worry about discovering a parking spot. However, at the heart of the Internet culture has been the idea that 'data needs to be free.' That is why few content suppliers have tried to collect charges. The shop is then generated as HTML recordsdata and graphics that may be uploaded to a webspace.
Online buying provides the chance for the smaller retailers to display their merchandise worldwide, which without web it was impossible. If you go for furnishings shopping the traditional manner, you'll have to go from one store to a different in seek for the furnishings of your choice. Internet can be an excellent form of communication for individuals who need to specific their very own view factors and feelings.

On Tuesday, President Obama appeared on the "Late Show with David Letterman" to field softball questions from the eponymous host and make the case for his re-election. He discussed a wide array of topics, of course, including his family, the unacceptably high unemployment rate, and the 2012 presidential horse race. What I found particularly interesting, however, was the following sound bite (fast-forward to the 22:25 mark):
"[One] thing I've never tried to do is -- and I think none of us can do in public office -- is suggest that because someone doesn't agree with me that they're victims, or they're unpatriotic, or they don't have a sense of responsibility."
This baffling assertion patently contradicts what Mr. Obama said on the campaign trail in 2008:
"Number 43 added four trillion dollars [to the national debt] by his lonesome…that's irresponsible, that's unpatriotic."
Flashback: This president has added more than five trillion dollars to the national debt in less than four years. That's a fact. And yet, when he was a fledgling candidate for the nation's highest political office, he explicitly said it was "unpatriotic" for President George W. Bush to add four trillion dollars to the national debt in eight years. Oh how the times have changed.
(H/T The Right Scoop)
UPDATE - "I don't remember what the number was precisely."

Team and league sources confirmed Tuesday that the Warriors have included second-year forward Anthony Randolph's name in trade discussions.
Golden State once exalted Randolph as the face of the young, promising core around which the franchise was to be built. But in just under a season and two months, Randolph has gone from possible draft-day coup to the Warriors' latest trade bait.
One team source said the Warriors aren't necessarily looking to get rid of Randolph but are willing to trade him if doing so would improve the team.
That's what happens when you're 7-17 and have lost seven of your past eight games — the last defeat being to a team, the Philadelphia 76ers, riding a 12-game skid.
Randolph was deemed the starting power forward in the offseason and was invited to participate in Team USA's training camp in Las Vegas after a dominant summer league.
But one Eastern Conference executive said Randolph's stock is down around the league.
Teams are concerned about his play and effort, the source said, and they think he spends too much time on the perimeter (not everyone sees him as a small forward). His talent is obvious, the source said, but Randolph is closer to seeking a big payday after his rookie contract expires than he is to realizing his jaw-dropping potential.
Another Warriors source said no one on the roster is off limits, and Yahoo! Sports quoted an anonymous Eastern Conference executive as saying every Warrior "could be had."
There are players they would prefer to keep, however. A team source said the Warriors don't want to trade guards Monta Ellis, Stephen Curry and Anthony Morrow but aren't in a position to overlook any option.
Ellis has taken his game to new heights since the Nov. 16 trade of forward Stephen Jackson and could become the Warriors' first All-Star since Latrell Sprewell in 1997. Ellis is averaging 26.8 points, 5.1 assists and 2.7 steals in 42.9 minutes per game since the trade. That has no doubt increased his value, but he would be risky to move.
Curry has had his struggles the first 24 games of his rookie season. Coach Don Nelson considers him the best passer on the team, and he probably is its best ballhandler. But he has turned the ball over frequently, his outside shot has been sporadic and he is having a hard time on defense.
Still, the Warriors like Curry's potential, and trading him would be a serious change of pace. He was No. 2 on their draft board (behind Blake Griffin) in June, and management was elated when Curry was available at No. 7.
"He is not going to be traded," Nelson said after Curry's introductory news conference. "He was drafted because we think he is going to be a terrific player, and he's going to be right here."
Note: The Warriors and Levy Restaurants are hosting a Food Drive the next two home games, with all donations benefiting the Alameda County Community Food Bank. Fans who donate five cans of food or make a $5 donation could win a prize. According to the Food Bank, the most-needed items are canned fruits and vegetables, pasta, beans, rice and dry cereal.

My Friday and Saturday nights out are usually a fierce sprint through dinner to drinks to more drinks to some horrific after party to brunch. And by 'brunch,' I mean Whataburger or Taco Bell at all hours of the night.
True Story: my two crazier friends on multiple occasions have spent at least if not more than $20 at Taco Bell at one time... for just the two of them.
Anyway, for the 2nd year in a row, my friends and I pub crawled through Uptown's douchiest bars. Luckily we came prepared so we would fit in with our fellow day drinkers:
|This sign was actually found and/or stolen in a drunken stupor
by one of my friends during LAST year's crawl!
Needless to say, my body was pretty much rejecting my body when I woke up at 2:00 PM later that day. The situation, like my hair, breath, and BO, was a disaster. I watched three episodes of Desperate Housewives and finally peeled myself off the couch, showered, and mustered enough energy to go to the grocery store.
I tried to make a list of what I thought would be appropriate food so I would be prepared to face the public. I can usually Supermarket Sweep my way through my local grocery with ease. Seriously, I should be on that show. Is that show still even on? If it is cancelled, it looks like the terrorists did win after all...
Anyway, even with my list I was a zombie with no brains to eat stumbling from aisle to aisle scaring my fellow shoppers with my bag eyes and misshapen hook hand. Every single item on my list was questioned and debated.
John, do you really need apples?
Are you sure you want chicken for dinner?
Who doesn't love Rolos? Do I? I don't know!
What is happening to me!?!?!
A trip that should have taken no longer than 15 minutes was stretched and screwed (emphasis on the screwed) into a 45 minute ordeal. I then went home and tried to cook. That actually worked out VERY well. Nothing makes me feel better or comforts me more than cooking. It almost made up for the grocery store ordeal.
Then I tried to get ready for bed...
My body was all like: 'why do you hate me so much?' And I was like, 'Shut up, body! Check out these memories!'
|Complete stranger AKA my new role model.

Solicitors with RTA claims involving drivers and passengers could be saving themselves extra time by avoiding multiple searches. PremExtra reveals all in our latest MedCo tips column…
With families well and truly back to work and school after the long summer holiday, solicitors are often busy this time of year with claims from accidents on the roads during July and August. Wayne Brannan, Senior Business Development Manager at Premex Services says the season has been characterised by some new confusion over the MedCo search rules.
"There is often an August spike for RTAs, particularly those involving passengers and children and this affects solicitors instructing through MedCo. When the portal was built, the intention was that families could attend a joint appointment, with a medical report produced for each injured party but the design didn't initially accommodate this functionality.
"So, we're reminding all of our customers that it is possible to get a joint appointment through MedCo. We've found that solicitors frequently look to Premex for guidance and we're well placed to help out. The amount of time a fee earner could waste by arranging different appointments with different experts could really damage the client journey so we're encouraging people to use this helpful step."
If you have a problem or question about how to appoint the right practitioner through MedCo, please contact Premex now.

It is that time of year again when the Guinness taps get a thorough workout. St Patricks day has los
t its original meaning and is now a day to celebrate and adore all things Irish. From just wearing a green clover to filling the local river with green paint. Anything and everything can happen on St Patricks day. But most importantly, it's a time to celebrate with a few Irish beers.
There is a new place just outside of the CBD that heralds itself to all things Irish, The Last Jar.
Every year on March 17, the Irish and Irish-at-heart come together across the globe to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. What started as a religious holiday for the patron saint of Ireland has since become an international festival celebrating Irish culture with drinking, dancing and a whole lot of green.
So with this in mind, how about an Irish pub that has set out in pursuit of a real Irish St Patricks Day experience. No run-of-the-mill St Paddy's Day clichés – theyare after a traditional Irish celebration; Guinness, Irish grub, live music and of course Guinness.
What better way to kick off the day (and line the stomach) than with a full Irish Breakfast. Irish-owned and operated Gastropub, The Last Jar offers a full traditional Irish breakfast created by exec chef, Tim Sweeney who trained at a number of Michelin star restaurants across the UK and Ireland. With all the food made in house – from the dark soda bread to the freshly churned butter, a plate of bacon, eggs, sausage and black & white pudding it will give you the energy to raise that glass of Guinness all day.
Stick around at The Last Jar for an evening of live music, featuring local Melbourne band Streams of Whiskey and Galway Gyp-Hop band The Latchikos taking centre stage from 6pm.
The Last Jar
Monday, 17 March 2014. Full Irish Brekky from 11:30 am onward
Live music including bands Streams of Whiskey and The Latchikos from 6:00 pm onward
Address: 616 Elizabeth Street, Melbourne 3000

In the words of John Lennon, it's another year over and a new one just begun. Welcome to 2014!
The hangover should have cleared up by now, I know our household was pretty quiet on New Year's Day with a few sleep ins and no real enthusiasm for more alcohol! But all that will change tomorrow, the first Friday of 2014. Being Friday it is traditional to go for a post work beer. Many are not working this week, but spare a thought for those champions continuing to run the country while we are all taking a break. OK, if its anything like when I was younger, the work environment around Christmas and new year was rather relaxed and quiet. Anyway, beer on Friday, if you are not too busy! then an early start might be in order.
And where can be better for a Friday afternoon beer than on the rooftop of Campari, Hardware Lane. This is a top spot with great views over the roof tops and a chilled out atmosphere. Their nice selection of beers and cocktails should be enough to please most people and for those wanting something a little more after, there is a great selection of restaurants further up the lane.
Looking at the Calender on the wall it is hard to believe how quickly the year has gone. It's just four weeks until Christmas and we are not ready. Well, to be honest we have never been ready and who really is? But of course the time of year does means going out for drinks and Melbourne has a lot of great venues to visit.
As Christmas falls in summer here (much to the disgust of the Poms) some of the best places to visit are outdoors. down on the banks of the Yarra River there is now a nice selection of pubs and bars. A great evening can be head starting off at the Riverside bar just over the road from Flinders Street station. Set on the banks of the river with granite steps up to the actual bar, the added end height give some nice aspects of the water. Follow the river downstream keeping to the city side and you'll pass under the traffic bridge and be on the river side of flinders street station. Ahead you'll see a footbridge crossing the river and on this bridge you will find the very nice Pony Fish Island.
Pony Fish Island is located on one of the bridge piers and is a narrow bar, but is right on the water. This is a great spot to pick up a cooling breeze off the river on a hot summers night. The bars has a younger feel and the stairs tend to keep the oldies away! Crossing the river to Southbank, there are a multiple of bars and cafes. Most of these venues are restaurants with bars and so often you may feel as though you should be having a meal. One of the more popular bars here is World (received quite a few "likes" in Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars).
If restaurant orientated bars is not what you fancy, then keep walking downstream and you'll come across the Pop-Up bar. As its name suggests, this is not a permanent fixture and the bar expands on to the promenade of Southbank for the summer. With fake grass and a selection of seating, this is an odd bar, but one that is well worth the wander.
Further downstream you will find the Boatbuilders Yard, which is more of a pub style venue. We were not that impressed by this bar when we visited and even through it is nicely located on the edge of the river, it have few likes in Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars. Interestingly the most popular pub in this location is PJ O'Briens. Having often frequented this Irish pub, We can see why. The manager we met was gorgeous and charming and if her professional attitude extends to the staff, then the service will be excellent and the beer, well, the Irish are known for it – we don't need to say anymore!
A new bar has recently opened in St Kilda, called 29th Apartment (re-opened actually). It's a strange name for a bar, but then we hear it's a little stranger inside!
It is said that the building once belonged to perhaps St Kilda's First Lady, Katishe, a lady of no fine repute, but is said to have been the benefactor of many a lonely man (or they were the benefactor!). She is said to have left for New York and the bar is adorned with paintings she made of the city. The decor boasts New York landscapes and a comfy lounge room with an array of games. A raised "fire escape" and Katishe's bedroom (complete with a NY style bed that folds away to reveal a fireplace and mantle), a bathroom, a bus stop, booth seating outside a hotel and a graffiti-filled dodgy alleyway. There is also a fish tank containing a rather intimate toy, discovered by owners along with Katishe's self portrait when they bought the space in 2009.
It sounds like a very eclectic mix of styles and the images of the opening do look good. We missed the opening party, but definitely have this bar on our list as "one to visit" next time we hit Melbourne.
The bar provides hot meals, chilled drinks and will be playing your favourite song (OK, this could be subjective!) at 29 Fitzroy Street, St. Kilda, 3182.
Maybe that should be Crickey! But the feeling is still the same, Christmas is only just over 5 weeks away!
Yes Christmas is only 5 weeks away!!
If you have not organised your Christmas party, then perhaps you had better start thinking about it. And what could be better for a Christmas get together, than wandering through Melbourne and enjoying some of its great bars. For blokes a walk through the city streets is a mic way to "get some air" as it is often referred to (sober up a little!). But for girls, particularly those with lovely high heels, wandering through Melbourne's back streets can be a little bit awkward – if not actually dangerous.
So where are the best places to have a Christmas party inMelbourne?
There is no simple answer as we like different things. Some may say Crown Casino is a great spot, although it's not a good place to socialise (they only want your cash!) so selecting a nice pub or bar is better. One of the small bars we rather like is Highlander, located in Highlander Lane (down the Aquarium end of town). This is a nice seductive bar and last time we were in town they were planning a roof top bar.
Over in Docklands the Woolshed is a big barn of a pub, but it's pretty cool and makes a great spot for a larger crowd. The nightclub Alumbra is close by too, so a great option to keep things going into the wee small hours.
Finally, if you want to impress the girls in the office take them down to Madame Brussels. This is a great rooftop bar with a classy atmosphere and a more elegant setting.
You can find all these and over 250 more in the Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars app for iPhone.
Other locations
It's that time of year again, the race that stops a nation is on. Melbourne Cup is Australia's premier horse racing carnival and attracts a high gathering both on and off track. Unlike many horse racing tracks around the world, Flemington is very easy to reach from the CBD of Melbourne and so makes a fabulous day out for any visitor. If you are in Melbourne during the cup, then you will experience an erie calm over the CBD whilst that race is being run. Indeed you might find the same in every Australia capital city (except Canberra, which has that erie silence at most times).
Melbourne cup mayhem
Everything you want to know about Melbourne Cup
Once all the racing is over, then you'll probably fancy having a few nice drinks and Melbourne CBD has some great options. Here is our pick for post Melbourne Cup drinks.
Located a short stroll from Parliament is the lovely rooftop bar of Siglo. This can be a little hard to find as its entry is a doorway and often you can walk straight past! (Our app will show you exactly where it is). Siglo has an airs of exclusivity about it and with table service it is not for those on a budget. This is an excellent location to grab a nice bottle of wine (their list is very good) sit back and enjoy the ambience.
Madame Brussels
also a short stroll from Parliamemt is another rather hard rooftop bar to find. Madame Brussellscould be considered as a Melbourne institution as whilst it may be hard to find! it is rarely empty! There is an eclectic mix of style here which we can only describe as French provincial meets Wimbledon. They provide a nice range of drinks, including some nice boutique bottled beers. This is. To the sort of place you'll want to rock in scruffy jeans to!
Carlton Hotel.
One of the more popular pubs in Melbourne located to the east of the CBD. the Carlton extends over a few floors and has a plush bar with smoking terrace over the street. Up a few flights and you will reach the rooftop bar, great on a warm balmy evening. This is a great all-round pub with a casual vibe.
Located in hardware lane,Campari is three floors of dining and imbibing. Head straight to the rooftop bar for a great vibe and a few rooftop views. with a nice choice of beer on tap this is a more casual bar and is a great all-rounder.
You can all of these bars, plus a few hundred more in our Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars app on the iPhone.
Your personal bar guide, essential for any stay in Melbourne's CBD.
Who would have believed that the under dog team form Western Australia, the Fremantle Dockers, would be taking on the mighty Hawks in this years AFL grand final?
Western Australia is purple. There are Dockers banners strewn from major buildings, the streets are painted purple and half the population are wearing purple. It is a momentous occasion for WA to have the Dockers in the AFL grand final. Already have the fans have descended on Melbourne and the pubs will be awash with the purple haze.
But can the Dockers beat the Hawks?
Hawthorn is an established Melbourne team and has won 10 grand finals (although some were VFL – which doesn't count nowadays) and you can bet they will be hungry for number 11!
Where ever you are, this looks to be one of the most exciting final in years. What a great reason to settle in to a great pub and have a few coldies whilst cheering on your side.
The footy seasons is getting the the very pointy end of the competition and with just a few rounds left, the top spots could be strongly contested. And what better way to enjoy the end of winter than with a weekend in Melbourne catching a few footy games.
Dukes Hotel reopens
The great news is, that the Dukes Hotel on the corner of Exhibition Street and Flinders Street has reopened. Sadly on our footy trip we actually missed this bar which is so handy for the MCG and Rod Laver Arena. The bar has a more functional feel to it with a clean and contemporary finish. Large TV's in the front bar make a great spot to watch the game (if you cannot get a ticket). With a healthy selection of beers, including a few craft beers on tap, this is a great additional to the Melbourne's bar scene. To the back is what might be called a lounge bar. It's a little nicer in decoration and accesses an alfresco area fronting Exhibition Street. Again there is a great selection of beers on tap, so the Duke can cater for the more discerning beer drinker as well as locals. Being close to the MCG you can expect that the Duke will become a popular pre and post game pub. They plan to open a restaurant upstairs away from the crowds and the noise, so that will also be worth looking into next time we are in town.
A few bars have also closed and will be removed from our app in the next update. The odd bar Maitai has closed, but was never a nice place anyway. A bit too clinical for our liking and the owner was a bit strange too! No great loss as far as we are concerned.
New Melbourne Bars
If you know of a new bar that has opened or is due to open, drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or use the contact us feature in the app.
Yes it's Good Beer Week in Melbourne and to celebrate we have discounted Best Melbourne Pubs and Bars to just 99c.

Wishful Thinking || What would be in your Easter Basket?
[ Little Paris Kitchen | painting | tassel earrings | bunny mask | baskets ]
Easter is so early this year! The only Easter basket around here is my daughter's but this doesn't stop me from daydreaming. The one thing I will get though is this cookbook my friend has highly recommended. This beautiful painting is small but it has the perfect color combination and sure packs a punch, these earrings are sensational. The combination of leather and pompoms is too outrageous not be perfectly cool.
The bunny mask is so sweet for the kiddos and this trio of baskets would be ideal for blankets, shoes, towels, toys....anything and everything! What is on your imaginary Easter basket?

Johan Hedberg stopped all three shots in a shootout, and Ilya Kovalchuk scored the only goal as the New Jersey Devils beat the Calgary Flames 2-1 on Wednesday night for their first winning streak of the season.
David Clarkson netted the Devils' only goal in regulation as New Jersey spoiled the return of former coach Brent Sutter, who now is in charge of the Flames.
Rene Bourque scored for Calgary, which lost its fifth straight road game.
Hedberg, who shut out Washington in a 5-0 win on Monday, stopped Niklas Hagman, Alex Tanguay and Brendan Morrison in the shootout. The veteran stopped Hagman and Morrison with pad saves. Tanguay made it easier when he lost the puck on his attempt.
Kovalchuk, who didn't record a shot in regulation, beat Swedish rookie Henrik Karlsson with a wrist shot to the top corner on the Devils' first attempt.
Mattias Tedenby lost control of the puck on the Devils' second chance, but Hedberg stood tall against Morrison on the Flames' final attempt.
Karlsson made the save of the game in the overtime, stopping a deflection by Patrik Elias in close on a great setup pass by Jason Arnott. The 26-year-old Karlsson had six saves in overtime, which included a Devils' power play.
Hedberg nursed a 1-0 lead into the third period before Bourque snapped the goalie's shutout streak with his 10th goal of the season.
Defenseman Mark Giordano took a shot from the right point, and Bourque put the puck into the top part of the net with a deflection from at least 20 feet in front.
Karlsson, who gave No. 1 goalie Miikka Kiprusoff a rare night off, also was somewhat unlucky on the Devils' goal.
New Jersey defenseman Matt Corrente took a shot from the right point shortly after a penalty to Morrison ended. The shot appeared to be blocked and went to Tedenby. His shot from between the circles deflected off the skate of Clarkson and into the net.
The play was reviewed, and the call on the ice stood.
While neither goaltender was tested much, both made big saves.
Karlsson had a glove save on Elias early and a big stop on a power-play blast by Brian Rolston late in the second period.
Hedberg had a nice glove save on Tanguay late in the first period and good saves against Bourque, Tanguay and Jay Bouwmeester during a power play early in the second.
NOTES: Flames C Matt Stajan was scratched from the lineup after being leveled by New York Rangers D Marc Staal on Monday night. … Calgary C Olli Jokinen returned from a three-game suspension. … Devils G Martin Brodeur missed his third straight game because of an elbow injury. … New Jersey captain Jamie Langenbrunner missed his sixth game due to a neck injury.
