next few games will be critical…so insanely tight, 2pts separates most of the league except 2 teams…wonder where MVFC & SFC will be by Christmas…could be anywhere
Honestly I don't see us being in a finals spot come Christmas if Lavicka is still around. Well, depends if he changes things. He's not done so for 24 months though so hard to see it happening. Happy to be proven wrong. I hope I am.
gixibyte replied to your post: Lavicka OUT
that bad?
He just makes the same mistakes over and over again. It's crazy how he thinks he can just do the same shit as last season and the results will be different.
v Gold Coast, starts with Carle and Bridge up front. We're horrendous. Half time and Bruno comes on (so we have two proper strikers up front) and Carle plays in midfield (where he plays best) and we dominate. So I'm thinking "good change Lavicka" (though the fact i feel it necessary to applaud him for playing two proper strikers at home when we play a 4-4-2 really shows just how ridiculous things have gotten)
So what does he do against CCM? Starts with Carle and Bridge up front again. Er, okay… surprise surprise we are absolute shit. He makes the same changes as he did at HT v Gold Coast and all of a sudden we play well in the second half again.
So what does he do against Wellington? STARTS THE SAME FUCKING STARTING XI AGAIN. FUCK. It just doesn't make sense.
I held off jumping on the Lavicka out bandwagon last season. I was actually in favour of extending his contract and giving him another chance. It was tough conditions last season after losing 1000+ games of experience down the spine. But, to reiterate the NT, there's no excuses this season.'
Antonis, Emerton, Carle and Cazarine have the ability to be so much more but they're restricted by this negative shape and style. Bosschaart and Beauchamp are good but struggling with a midfield that can't keep the ball, and they have to fend off the same shit week after week cause Lavicka, for whatever reason, thinks things will change.
Lavicka out.
gixibyte replied to your post: Business excursion to the imax theater tomorrow….
suh weet! what are you watching? the last time i went to one of those i felt like i was gonna fall off the plane the cameraman was in cuz…ok i'm not making sense…3d…
We saw Born to be Wild. Documentary on baby orangutans and elephants growing up in orphanges in Indonesia/Africa. We went to learn about their marketing and shizz, film had no relevance to the trip haha

woot woot! aaaaaaaaaaah home games are the best thing in the world!!!! i can't fucking wait! and…REALLY hope I'm not needed at the picket line on Sunday afternoon!
WOO! home games rule over everything
Sunday games… do you like them? I never really do for any sport. Prefer Friday/Saturday nights so much more
gixibyte replied to your photoset: Two massive tifos from Legia in the same game….
i find it interesting how many Euro tifos are in English, same with Egypt/Middle East and even Asia. I guess they're trying to get their message across to widest audience possible. And recognising it's The World Game I suppose?
idk, i've always found it a little weird. shows football is universal though
gixibyte replied to your photo: The SCG. NSW v SA
Nice photo. BUT SO EMPTYYYY. Such is domestic cricket……
All those stands are closed for domestic cricket. just the ladys stand (brown seats) and the one im in. Still, was a terrible crowd. Like 500-1000. Only about 300 max by the end.
Still, I love domestic cricket
gixibyte replied to your post: gixibyte replied to your post: Fuck I'm so keen…
Holy fark. I've still never been to W-League. Saw highlights of Syd-MVFC today, looked exciting! Haven't been to Youth either. Will bring more flares to next Youth Melb derby…j/k. Yes I have TF2. It's good, light, quick fun. But I prefer RPGs/MMOs
Sydney FC have all these W-League/Youth league double headers which is awesome haha. Yeah the Syd-MVFC game was pretty exciting. Sydney youth beat Heart 5-1 before that too so it was good haha. LOL, fuck that, you need them for Brisbane away ;)

While most Americans are busting out the sunscreen, beach balls and barbeques in anticipation of summer, the ASPCA is preparing for a different kind of season: kitten season.
Sounds adorable, right? Unfortunately, there's nothing cute about kitten season. It's the time of year when felines begin to breed, flooding animal shelters across the country with homeless and newborn cats. It is a tremendous population explosion, and this year we're expecting thousands of kittens to cross the threshold of the ASPCA Animal Hospital—all requiring round-the-clock care.
The seasonal influx of kittens is one reason why the ASPCA is opening a new facility near its 92nd Street Adoption Center in New York City. This brand new kitten ward will include a high-volume nursery for neonates and kittens to provide life-saving care for felines too young to thrive on their own.
"We're doing the mama's job," explains David Arias, an Animal Care Technician and regular caregiver to neonatal kittens at the ASPCA Animal Hospital. He gently pushes a syringe full of kitten milk replacer (KMR) into the wailing but eager mouth of a five-day-old neonate named Catsup, who drinks up as fast as his tiny throat can swallow. Catsup was No. 2 in a group of four baby kittens—including Mustard, Relish and Sauerkraut—dropped off at the AAH in their first days of life.
But these four "condiment kitties" are just the start. The ASPCA will also be taking thousands of neonates from NYC's Animal Care & Control (AC&C), where the annual influx of 4,500 kittens often overwhelms an already overpopulated system. AC&C's kittens will be transferred to the ASPCA nursery for treatment until they're old enough to be weaned, spayed/neutered, and put up for adoption.
And because neonates must be fed every two hours, the ASPCA is providing special training to volunteers to help with this vigorous schedule. "We keep track of how many milliliters each kitten consumes and stay consistent with that baseline amount until they want more," says David.
His voice trails off when he sees that Catsup is getting feisty and wants more. He replaces the near-empty syringe with a full one. After 20 minutes, Catsup's tiny belly expands. Before putting the 8-oz. ball of fur back in his cage, David applies a wet, warm gauze to Catsup's rear end to encourage a defecation and urination—something a mama cat would normally do by licking her young.
Catsup complies. Then, eyes still closed and back in his cage, he clumsily searches for his siblings until he finds them, snuggles up, and goes to sleep. Two hours later, he'll be hungry again.
The ASPCA is working tirelessly to save thousands of lives this kitten season. It is an urgent time of need, and even a little gift can help a lot of cats. Please consider making a donation to the ASPCA today.
Thank you to David Arias and the many exceptional ASPCA employees and volunteers who are keeping these tiny babies alive and well. It sounds like round-the clock care and monitoring. The responsibilities are great. These ACTS (Animal Care Technicians) are tremendous.
Thank goodness for the wonderful job which the ASPCA do. If only all humans could be as compassionate as these people!
It would be nice if All humans would love,& care for the furry kids they have ,but sadly most of them don't... I am a good human,& I love my furry kids with all my heart .. I miss all the ones in heaven they are in my heart forever.
that is exactly how I also feel...they did not ask to be born..we need to become more responsible.
Thank you Cloegirl, I wish everyone were as kind as you. There is too much suffering for all animals in this world because of cruel, ignorant people.
just wanted to say ditto to your comment, especially the part about being "a good human and loving your furry kids with all your heart...and oh how MUCH WE MISS ALL THE ONES IN HEAVEN AND THEY CERTAINLY ARE IN ME AND MY HUSBANDS HEART FOREVER!!" :-)
Just wondering why all those babies show up without their mamas?
My daughter-in-law fosters kittens for our local shelter, and there are many litters she gets without the momma kitten. Some people opt to keep the mom, but don't want the kittens.
That is the problem. People turn the babies into a shelter or pound and don't bother to try and find the mom or else keep the mom and don't "believe" in spaying her. I volunteer for Chicago Animal Control and am going to propose a change to the Animal Welfare Law requiring pound and shelter workers to attempt to bring the mom in - or require people turning in the babies to - when newborns are turned into the pound. I have adopted out probably 50 cats and kittens and I can tell you it is very, very tough to care for newborns without the mom. Mom cats rule . . . but we need them there with the babies!
Anne, my initial reaction is much like yours, and I think it would be great for shelter workers to try to capture the moms (assuming they know where the kittens were found), but I wonder what would happen if people were "required" to bring in the moms when they bring in the kittens? Since feral cats can be notoriously hard to catch, would they then just turn to destroying the unwanted kittens, since they couldn't bring the mom in with them? I have a friend who is currently undergoing the rabies series, because she was badly bitten when trying to capture a feral mom. They couldn't catch the mom for quarantine, so she has no choice but to take the rabies series of injections. Also, the bite wounds are badly infected. She is also taking IV antibiotics.
As a nurse, I can tell you that cat bites in general are notorious for becoming infected, especially if the cat is feral. This is a reflection of their diet, which includes garbage, carrion, anything the poor things can find. Never try to just "catch" a feral cat. Get a humane live trap, bait it with some tuna, and you'll get your cat, without injury to yourself or the cat.

As a child I was told by a few people, several times, that we only use a fraction of our brain. They told me we generally use only 5-6%, and that if we managed to use at least 30-40% our minds would be so powerful that we could lift objects with our brain. I was also told that Einstein used about 20% of his brain, and by studying and stressing our minds to think more we could achieve a greater usage, and therefore, greater capacity to do things with it such as lifting objects and maybe telekinesis.
According to Wikipedia, Francis Galton was the first scientist to propose a theory of general intelligence; that intelligence is a true, biologically-based mental faculty that can be studied by measuring a person's reaction times to cognitive tasks.
Alfred Binet, in contrast, believed intelligence was a median average of dissimilar abilities, not a unitary entity with specific, identifiable properties.
Over the course of my life I have heard different things about intelligence. I've heard a couple of times that we are all equally intelligent beings. Then again, we all have heard typical phrases such as "He is more intelligent than you", or "she must be really intelligent". These usually refer to the fact that an individual may have a higher or lower level of IQ, which after all is just a figure of determining capacity based on results.
What really got me going about looking for information on brain use was the memory of people telling me that we use different percentages of our brain. Then in school I was taught that the several sections of our brain process different functions. How then can we use only a fraction of it if studies have been performed that claim that we do use different parts at the same time?
PET scans (positron emission tomography) and fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) clearly show that the vast majority of the brain does not lie fallow. The nature of claims such as the one which describes that psychic powers may be obtained if we master the percentage of unused brain have been proven wrong, but it is the mass media, literature, and shows performed by different personalities which has ensured the endurance of the claims. More information about that may be obtained at this page at snopes.com, which details an investigation performed by Benjamin Radford.
I have a theory
It is not that we do not fully use our brain. I believe, instead, that it is the capacity of interpreting messages that varies. We may be able to interpret more signals as we train our brain to do so, therefore increasing our ability to integrate more thoughts together, reason them, and process more results, in a faster and more accurate manner.
Clearly we use different sections of our brain to process different signals. Your innate reaction to things such as getting burned is processed in one area. Memories are stored in another area. Likewise, vision is also computed by another section of your brain. However, some people manage to understand things faster than others, just as some people are better with creative issues than others. We have Math geeks, Computer wizards, Programming geniuses, Scientists, Artists, etc. All of them have a certain facility for some areas.
I believe the clue to this lies in the speed, the accuracy, and the depth of the processing of signals from each area of the brain.
The frontal lobe is in charge of recognizing future consequences resulting from current actions, choosing between good and bad actions, overriding and suppressing unacceptable social responses, and determining similarities and differences between things or events.
Now, for example, when you read a book and don't understand a word, many times you skip it. Then you might hear it a few times in movies. There might come a time when you ask someone what it means, or you hear or read the definition for it somewhere. Then you start noticing it much more commonly, in places where it might have always been but you were unaware of its presence.
Likewise, my theory is that the brain's sections can process so many things that you are not able to understand, or to grasp entirely, but as you become aware of how to understand that information, then you begin to actually use it more thoroughly and exploit that new ability.
An example of this would be painting. You may have seen many pieces of art, and your brain processes how the shadows and mixtures of colours look like. Then you see a painter actually perform the job. You might then try painting yourself and you are not successful at it the first few times. Your friend, Jack, has not been to many art galleries, nor has he seen a painter do his job, but the first time he grabs a brush he seems naturally talented.
I would explain this by his ability to process those signals in a better way. He may not know precisely how an artist mixes his colours, but he knows how the colours of a face should look like, and he tests mixing the colours until he achieves the one he is looking for. You may be trying too hard to find a scientific approach to it, a perfect balance, but he may be doing it by actually understanding these brainwaves, or what others would call "by heart".
I do not fully understand how capable we will ever be in certain areas. It may be that some people are just "blocked" in certain area, psychologically, and therefore can't achieve the understanding of those signals. However, I believe it more to be a matter of really wanting to do so. Someone may want to play guitar, but when he grabs it he thinks he is rubbish, then he claims that he has no ability to play and blocks his creative path. This, however, is a matter of psychologically blocking his ability to understand the patterns that are naturally forming in his brain.
I could say the same for myself. It could chose not to publish this post because I may not fully understand the patterns that form in my brain, I may choose to stay behind and keep my thoughts to myself, but the act of letting it out improves me a bit every day. I believe if anyone tries hard enough at something, the patterns will emerge, and sooner or later he/she will be able to understand those patterns and to exercise the knowledge to deliver a product, action or thought.
It's all about using it. Don't you think?

Just one look from Justin Bieber causes unsuspecting folks everywhere to faint dead away. At least, that's what happens in the new Macy's Black Friday commercial starring The Bieb, which will officially premiere on TV on Tuesday.
In the spot, Justin reminds two Macy's employees -- store manager Harold and merchandiser Carolina -- that it's almost midnight, and Macy's Black Friday sale is just about to get underway. But Harold's concerned. "Do you think you can avoid the 'wink nod smile'?" he asks the singer. "C'mon, everybody loves the 'wink nod smile,' bro!" Justin replies. "Well, do you remember last year?" asks Carolina. Flashback as Justin remembers winking, nodding and smiling at shoppers, who all promptly faint dead away. "It was kinda problematic," Harold reminds Justin.
At that moment, Justin starts rubbing his eye. "I just have something in my eye," he says. "Got it!" Unfortunately, as he winks to clear the obstruction, Carolina and Harold faint dead away.
For every purchase of Justin's fragrance Girlfriend at Macy's during Black Friday, Macy's will donate two dollars to Make-A-Wish. You'll also get a quilted heart bag free with any purchase of a large spray bottle of the perfume.

Devante Fernandes Indicted On Murder Charges In Superior Court
By: Michael C. Bailey
Published: 07/13/12
The man responsible for a major manhunt in April has been indicted in Barnstable Superior Court on multiple felony charges.
Devante M. Fernandes, 18, of Broken Bow Lane, was indicted on charges of first-degree murder, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault with intent to murder, and possession of a firearm without an FID card. The indictment was handed down on June 29.
Mr. Fernandes has been in custody since his arrest, and will remain in custody until his arraignment on July 23.
Police and court records stated that on Thursday, April 12, Mr. Fernandes shot his stepfather, 40-year-old John J. Williams, multiple times in their Broken Bow Lane home before fleeing the scene along with a 16-year-old male suspect, who is facing a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon. The status of the juvenile's case is not available due to his age.
Police reports stated that after Mr. Fernandes was called home by his mother, who had allegedly been assaulted by Mr. Williams, Mr. Fernandes and the juvenile suspect sneaked into the home, went upstairs to Mr. Fernandes's bedroom, and took the .20-caliber rifle Mr. Fernandes allegedly used to shoot Mr. Williams.
Mr. Williams was transported to Tufts Medical Center in Boston, where he died two days later.
Falmouth and Mashpee police, along with the Massachusetts State Police and Barnstable County Sheriff's Department, conducted an extensive search of the Teaticket and central Falmouth areas before apprehending Mr. Fernandes at a Gifford Street home that same day.

The juvenile was arrested at his Homestead Lane, Teaticket, home. Three other people were arrested on Gifford Street along with Mr. Fernandes, but police later determined they were not involved with the alleged shooting and dropped the charges against them.
Robert W. Nolan, the attorney who is representing Mr. Fernandes, has called the incident a case of self-defense. Mr. Nolan told the Enterprise in April, following his client's arraignment in Falmouth District Court, that Mr. Williams had a history of physically abusing his wife—Mr. Fernandes's mother.
Mr. Williams's name does not appear at all in police activity logs in the Enterprise archives going back to 1996, but Mr. Nolan said he found records of several protective orders taken out during the late 1990s through early 2000s by Mr. Williams's wife.

A White Van has been allowed to stay in the parking lot at Bud's Stop for months, now there is another small truck there for more than a month. I think this breeds bad things happening in a village and not controlled. Scary I think people learn fast where they can hide out..............and these parking lots are certainly something to look into............reporters that investigate, drive around, take a bike..............ask questions. thanks

It wasn't intended to be trollish at all. I was simply trying to suggest that it could use more focus.
Personally I found it difficult to read.
Your comment wasn't constructive. And your metaphor was bizarre (and unhelpful).
What was disorganized about this post? We had subheads for leveling spells, a subhead for talents, and then Destro/Demo/Afflic in their own little chunks. The article accomplished what it set out to do -- quickly dish out the changes that the MoP talent calculator brings for Warlocks at the moment -- which is what Megan managed to do.
Offering up actual suggestions and not blank statements that go nowhere is what's constructive.
For instance:
Instead of saying "Your article seems unfocused." You could have said, "I feel there is too much information here for such a brief article. Maybe next time, you could tackle the changes for each spec in separate articles, so there is more depth and clarity."

Seven Days of Utopia
If you think golf is boring -- a movie about golf filled with religious and sports clichés -- will probably bore you, too.
This is a story about a recently turned pro golfer (Lucas Black, who I last remember seeing as the child who befriends Karl in Sling Blade).
He has one of those fathers that pushes and pushes, to the point of being verbally abusive. It doesn't help matters that pop is now his caddie.
This leads to a meltdown in the Texas Open, with dad storming off before the final shot. Lucas smashes his golf club, and drives off in a huff. He crashes his car into a ranch owned by Robert Duvall. He's an eccentric small-town character, who has many secrets in his past.
And as goofy as the small town of Utopia, Texas is with the various characters and country charm – at least the movie made the golfer from Texas as well. They didn't try to go for the Doc Hollywood fish out of water jokes (although it would've helped if they had some jokes in this that worked).
The talented Melissa Leo (The Fighter, Frozen River) isn't given much to do, and Duvall tries his best with a poor screenplay and badly directed film from the best-selling novel by David Cook.
Duvall uses some philosophy straight out of A River Runs Through It (the importance of fly fishing). He has the kid also painting and praying, assuming that will improve his playing. I was waiting for him to teach the guy to wax his car (wax on/wax off).
His big secret of golf is the mantra "See it, feel it, trust it."
I learned that from Pete Townshend when it came to playing pinball.
The religious messages didn't bother me, but they might turn some people off. I'm guessing everyone will be turned off by the ending. We're left hanging as to what would happen – and a website is put on the screen where we can find out.
Let's give the cast a collective mulligan for this picture.
It gets 1 ½ stars out of 5.

Below an activist from SWAN West Midlands writes on cuts to children's services in Birmingham. He rebuts the popular argument being used by councillors nationwide that residential care services are outdated and always inferior to other forms of provision (in this case, foster care).
Read more...
SWAN would like to support and share the following statement from colleagues in the disabled people's movement on the closure of the Independent Living Fund:
Disabled people with the highest support needs have been left in fear and distress as they face the prospect of being denied the right to have Christmas in their own homes following a government decision announced this week to abolish a key source of independent living support.
The government decision to close the Independent Living Fund and instead devolve responsibility to local authorities follows a consultation that disabled people claim is unlawful and on which an urgent hearing has been scheduled by the High Court to go ahead on 13/14 March 2013.
Raymondo, member of Kilburn Unemployed Worker's Group and Social Work Action Network London, shares with us his Work Capability Assessment Survival Tips...The Work Capability Assessment is the test by which people claiming the out of waged work benefit Employment and Support Allowance are gauged as qualifying for Employment and Support Allowance or 'fit for work'. "The Work Capability Assessment (WCA) has three stages. Firstly, the Limited Capability for Work Test determines whether or not you remain on Employment and Support Allowance (ESA), secondly, the Limited Capability for Work Related Activity Test determines whether you join the 'support group' of claimants or the 'work-related activity group' and thirdly, the Work Focused Health Related Assessment provides a report that can be used in any work-focused interviews that you may be required to attend later on."

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Advanced Micro Devices Inc
The source, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the company's second round of big layoffs in a year would be close to a range of 10 percent to 20 percent.
Technology blogs including CNET and All Things D reported earlier that AMD could cut between 20 percent and 30 percent of its workforce.
As of February, AMD had 11,705 employees worldwide.
Citing sources, All Things D reported that AMD could announce the cuts next week, that they could include employees from engineering and sales, and could be deep enough to require AMD to scale back some products.
AMD declined to comment.
Like its larger rival Intel, AMD was caught flat-footed in recent years with the emergence and fast growth of mobile devices like Apple's
Tablets and smartphones, once considered a niche market by Intel
On Thursday, AMD warned that its third-quarter revenue likely fell about 10 percent from the previous quarter. AMD is due to report its financial results on October 18.
AMD and Intel have been slow to adapt their PC chip designs to mobile. But while Intel has poured its massive resources into efforts to catch up to smartphone chipmakers like Qualcomm, AMD has yet to define a clear mobile strategy.
The chipmaker has also been plagued by execution setbacks that have led to a loss of market share to Intel and to graphic chip rival Nvidia
Last year, the company appointed a new Chief Executive Office, Rory Read, and one of his first major moves was to announce a plan in November to slash 10 percent of its workforce to save about $200 million in operating costs.
Shares of AMD were up 0.72 percent in after hours trade. They closed down 14.37 percent at $2.74 earlier on Friday, hammered by the company's revenue warning the day before.
(This October 12 story has been corrected to fix amount of planned savings to $200 million from $200 in second-to-last paragraph)

- Artistic excellenceytaimaVIPDined on 9/14/2014A creative menu, warm service and an obsession with detail as well as the whole experience make this restaurant a world landmark. I feel lucky to only have to drive a few hours to get such an absolutely sublime experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Expensive but worth it!wineygolferVIPDined on 9/13/2014Be prepared for a big bill, but everything is perfect: imaginative menu, comprehensive wine list, fantastic flavors and presentation, and impeccable service. A dinner at Guy Savoy is a special experience.Special Features:
- The Good and the BadHaloDeckVIPDined on 9/12/2014This was our second time here. Good, the Signature Menu with wine parings is the only way to experience Guy Savoy, but forget being gluten free because the bread pairings are phenomenal. Bad, my first appetizer course, the Colors of Caviar, I had a curled, long, thin hair in one spoonful. Embedded in the layers of caviar, it was a VERY UNPLEASANT experience to pull this hair out of my mouth. The maitre d' was horrified and insisted on replacing it even though I was willing to skip it. This delayed the course 15 minutes. Worse, aside from an apology, there was no other offer. I likely would not have accepted, but still an offer would have been a nice gesture. I will likely never go back. There are too many other fine Michelin Star choices.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 9/7/2014If you desire an awe-inspiring dinner experience, Guy Savoy is for you. From the welcoming & knowledgeable staff, to the presentation of each dish along with their subtle, yet varied flavors (that simply melt in your mouth), Guy Savoy was the pinnacle of my recent stay in Vegas.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impeccable service & exquisite foodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/6/2014This is truly an outstanding restaurant that deserves its Michelin stars. The food was to die for and the service absolutely perfect. We were treated like royalty, which we are not, and made to feel as though we completely belonged in this exquisite restaurant. It was a meal I will never forget!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PhenomenalBusterbrewskyDined on 8/30/2014Guy Savoy is regularly rated one of the best restaurants in the world. Deservedly so. It is a dining experience like few others. If you like or want to experienc French fine dining, you will do so at Guy Savoy. Service, food, flair, it has it all. As they like to say, it is where artistry meets food. So true. Obviously, it will be one of the most expensive meals you ever had but I'm guessing you knew that. The Guy Savoy at Ceasar's was top notch from the moment we walked in to the moment we left. Had the signature tasting with the wine and bread pairing. Amazing tastes. The staff was so friendly, helpful and explained each step of the dinner process making it all the more fun to enjoy. In my opinion this is the best restaurant in the world.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Meh. Not worth itPeterVIPDined on 8/29/2014Just like everything else in Las Vegas it's a show fake and gimmicky. I've heard the original in Paris is unbelievable however if that's the case the vegas location needs a lot of work. $850 dinner for a group of 4. Two $65 bottles of wine. Two appetizers and four main courses. Thee $85 black truffle soup tasted like Campbell's canned soup. The filet mignon and braised beef was good. But not worth $85. I could have gotten the same quality for far less from 100 other restaurants in NYC. As for the $100 veal tasting my brother in law ordered the only memorable part was the veal cheeks. The sweat bread according to him was bland, and the slice of veal chop had the texture of ham and the flavor of cardboard. Save your money and skip itSpecial Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/29/2014The food was excellent, and the service highly professional and friendly. Still, I didn't find the food particularly extraordinary, given the very hefty prices. Le Cirque and Twist have both provided more memorable Las Vegas meals. Guy Savoy is absolutely top-notch. Just not...extraordinary. What was extraordinary were the wine pairings, brilliantly chosen by the sommelier. Although seriously, he couldn't be just a bit more generous with his pours?? GeezSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A journey of pleasureOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/29/20142 Michelin star outstanding experience that we will never forget. Break the bank and go all the way you will not be disappointed. Fantastic.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The best.CharlesDined on 8/27/2014This was simply the best dining experience that I've ever had. Superior flavors, presentation, selection. An outstanding special occasion or special splurge choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- guy savoyfoodyDined on 7/26/2014one word : AMAZINGSpecial Features:
- Best Restaurant in Vegas!PJFoodies123Dined on 7/26/2014As a bona fide foodie, thus speaking from vast experience. I believe this is the best French Restaurant in Vegas at this time. No doubt Robuchon and Twist are great too (we ate at Robuchon on Friday) and at times better. But this trip (7/26/14) had no equal. The Innovative tasting menu is the way to go!! And by far, Savoy has the best pricing for Champagnes and Bordeaux.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful MealKariWDined on 7/26/2014We were celebrating our anniversary early and were very pleased with the atmosphere and amazing food. We would definitely recommend to friends and will make it a point to return.Special Features:
- Your Once in a Lifetime MealgitlawVIPDined on 7/26/2014Well, maybe as often as you can afford it. We had the 13 course meal with wine pairing. Every course was amazing and we particularly liked the unusual creations like "pea spongecake" and the fun effects with cold and heat with many of the courses (particularly the use of dry ice). Elegant, enjoyable, superb service (if you are foodie, interact with the staff - but remember that this is Vegas so the average person who can afford to eat here is more likely than not someone with more money than brains and so the staff keeps it professional but they will open up). We even got a brief visit to the kitchen. There is a special table for two "Krug" table in there that we are going to put on our wish list when we strike it big at the casino!Special Features:
- Awesome gourmet food.yumyumyumDined on 7/12/2014Got the tasting menu and it was some of the very best food ever. The service WAS the best I have ever had. Highly recommended with the only reservation that it was pricey.Special Features:
- GreatStJohnVIPDined on 7/11/2014One of the best restaurants in America, year in and year out.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Absolutely incredible experienceHaloDeckVIPDined on 7/4/2014Ambiance was warm modern. Service impeccable. Food absolutely divine. When, not if, you go, plan to enjoy the Signature Menu with wine pairings. Worth every dollar.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MaryJDined on 7/2/2014This is my 3rd visit and Guy Savoy remains mong my top favorites in Las Vegas. I am a local so have a number of high end, classy restaurants to choose from. The dining experience is always memorable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OverpricedCirujanoVIPDined on 6/18/2014It is what it is! Spend $300 for two, and that's being frugal, and still leave hungry!!! Menu is not well explained and your not sure what your paying for when picking the $100 veal. Oh yeah, a small slice of veal!!Special Features:
- Get Ready for a Night to RememberdelijellyDined on 6/15/2014Tasting menu is beyond your wildest expectations. If you have traveled the world and eaten at places like French Laundry or Joel Robuchon, you should be well rounded enough to appreciate Guy Savoy. Supremely flavorful and amazingly fanciful, every dish sings with expert technique. Atmosphere is not overinflated or stuffy, just the opposite and it is very clear the servers and staff are passionate. Tight service, timing of the dishes were spot-on and sequenced together perfectly. So I would advise you to take your time, soak it all in, and expect a feast of the senses.Special Features:
- Savory Guy Savoylove2eatDined on 6/15/2014Guy Savoy is decadent. You are seated by an attractive french man. The decor is sparse yet still inviting. The first thing that comes to your table is a Champagne cart, filled with everything from good to high end champagne. We picked the prix fix menu with the wine paring. Along with the prix fix menu comes the bread cart. (It is a carb lovers dream) You can either choose the breads you want or you can leave it in their capable hands. (We choose them to do the bread paring) The lemon bread, and olive bread are the best! The entrees are spectacular. There are original plates some of them are so unique. You end with of course a dessert cart. You can pick as many as you want. I encourge you to experance Guy Savoy. It' pricey but We love itSpecial Features:
- Great but not amazing.SoCynCyrVIPDined on 6/13/2014Service was excellent and the food was really good but not exceptional, so we were disappointed. The chef tidbits were excellent and really set us up to expect perfection, but it lost it from there. The foie gras was very good but for $70 I was expecting more than plain pan seared with a slight broth. No special accompaniments to pair with it, which adds a lot to the dish. The veal chop was tough, very chewy, difficult to cut with a steak knife. The sweetbreads were quite tasty, the veal cheek was good. My husband had the artichoke soup, quite good and he did enjoy his Quail. All in all, we expected more for $400+. We have eaten at many "chef-celebrity" restaurants and the Guy Savoy just missed the mark.
- Great experienceJerryDined on 6/6/2014The modest tasting menu was more than enough to eat, my wife passed on the deserts and they also had sweets. The beef was excellent, but many of the other courses were a tad disappointing. Not the best French in Vegas, but certainly one of the most expensive. Certainly worth the experience.Special Features:
- MagnificentperfectiononlyDined on 6/6/2014This is a true oasis in the Vegas desert area. The food is simply magnificent and is served by knowledgeable, friendly and efficient staff. The wine list is extensive, but perhaps misses the opportunity of some local high end Californian whites. Nonetheless the atmosphere is great and the food incredible. A first class experience indeed. Well done to all!!Special Features:
- Really nice placeWontReturnDined on 5/28/2014The food was amazing service was amazing definitely would recommend the kitchen was spot less, the chef went to every table and checked to see if every customer was happy, you feel welcome to come in and enjoy your meal best place I went to on my trip!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Loved It!ARCHMDined on 5/28/2014Although it is rather expensive, even for a 5 star restaurant, it was worth every penny. The Signature menu was wonderful and the nine courses became 14 or 15 with the amuse bouche and other tasting treats. The bread cart with its array of choices was fun to pair with the different courses. Great meal and dining experience. Hubert Keller even brought a group with him the night that we were there--fun.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 140 reviews are from the Restaurant Guy Savoy - Caesars Palace reviews archive.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/21/2014This restaurant has great plating and service ware. Everything is really beautiful. The food was inventive, but not to our taste. The value $1000 Signature menu with 1 wine pairing and 2 glasses of lovely champagne just wasn't up there. A nice experience, but would not recommend. Try Joel Rubichon. I have finally convinced my husband to order ala carte and request the wine pairing for the prix fixe for himself. Then, we will all be happy and not waste so much food.
- Best Experience ever!!!!!!!!!!!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 5/17/2014Best Experience ever!!!!!!!!!!! Cannot wait to go again!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Superb but priceyDOCTORBOBVIPDined on 5/14/2014My wife and I had a memorable dinner at Guy Savoy. We had a bit of a rough start after being seated. We were served two amuse bouche courses with only water to drink. Had to flag down a manager to ask for some Champagne to start our dinner. Once that was taken care of the service smoothed out. We splurged on the 9 course chef's tasting menu and the wine pairing. The food preparation was superb as were the flavors. What stood out for us was the wine pairing that featured wines that neither my wife or I had had before. Very nicely chosen to compliment the food flavors. The cheese course was terrific. A very enjoyable evening but pricey. The wine tasting pushed the price up but in the end was worth the expense for the education it provided.Special Features:
- Guy Savoy is Vegas perfectionMikev207VIPDined on 5/11/2014My recommendation is: find a good excuse and just go and enjoy the evening, start to finish. We did the classic tasting menu, and there were absolutely no disappointments. We also saw Chef Guy on the run to the airport - but he took the time to be the perfect host, and was totally funny and cordial. Overall this was food & service perfection. Merci à tous au Restaurant Guy Savoy.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- PerfectGregDined on 5/3/2014Everything in place. Innovation tasting menu with wine parings exceptional. Chef came to our table twice to check on meal. Staff was on point. Both formal and flexible service. Extraordinary meal. Lots of great food. Course after course. Pricey and worth it. An extra special dining experience.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 5/3/2014Oustanding food ; attentive but not over bearing service ; outstanding wine list ; perfectly synchronized; truly a world class restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very goodDrewmicDined on 4/27/2014In Las vegas every top resturant claims to be the best and to be honest I was very sceptical. I should not of been, the entire team at the restaurant were gracious and the service sublime. The food was exceptional and considering the effort it takes to make each dish well worth it. This is not a cheap experience to expect to pay big $$$.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Wonderul ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/17/2014Service and ambiance were excellent and the food great but I wasn't totally blown over. I would still highly recommend it though. I enjoy good food, however I wouldn't say I'm a foodie so I wasn't able to totally appreciate the 13-course Innovation-Inspiration Menu. Perhaps it was too innovative for me. I should have opted for the cheaper and what I assumed would have been a simpler 9-course signature menu. I thoroughly enjoyed the bread selection that came in a bread cart.Special Features:

- For foie grois enthusiasts onlyOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 4/2/2014I felt like every food I put in my mouth had fois grois in it... except the veal chop. My palate is not sophisticated enough to appreciate everything this place has to offer, nor is most people's. And, just for the record, I did not just jump off a turnip truck. Unfortunately the truffle season was literally over two days before we dined, and there was no risotto! The staff was attentive, and fun. Nice environment, though the dining tables could definitely use a facelift. The quail was good. If you are a real foodie, go and enjoy. If not, stick with something a bit more ordinary, as this is extraordinary! Way over my head.Special Features:

GLAAD's Religion, Faith & Values program works to amplify the voices of LGBT-affirming communities of faith and LGBT people of faith. The program has successfully coordinated press conferences for religious leaders who speak out in support of LGBT issues and has secured national and religious media interest in stories that bring examples of LGBT equality in faith communities to Americans. The program has trained openly LGBT and LGBT-supportive ministers, faith groups and individuals from a wide range of religions to share their stories in their local congregations and throughout mainstream media.

GLAAD's Religion, Faith, & Values Program Announces the Release of Missing Voices: A study of religious voices in mainstream Media reports about LGBT equality
Missing Voices, a joint project of GLAAD and the University of Missouri Center on Religion & the Professions, analyzes messages presented in national news outlets by religious voices about issues affecting LGBT communities. The research shows a disproportionate reliance on anti-LGBT religious voices commenting on LGBT people and issues, and an underrepresentation of religious voices from traditions that are supportive of LGBT equality. In fact, three out of four religious messages came from people whose religions have formal policies opposing LGBT equality, despite the fact that acceptance of LGBT people is growing across faith traditions.
What Others Are Saying
"Missing Voices serves as a reminder that the relationship between religion and LGBT issues is more complex than it appears in the media. While anti-LGBT religious voices figure prominently in the news, they have a disproportionate presence. We must remember that religious figures do not speak in one voice on LGBT issues, and a growing number of religious leaders and organizations support the LGBT community. Furthermore, LGBT Christians are living reminders that religion and LGBT status need not be diametrically opposed. In short, GLAAD's latest report serves as a reminder that balanced coverage of these issues in the news is vital."
"It was such a pleasure to work with you on Soulforce's strategy at the General Assembly for the Presbyterian Church USA. You are a very effective trainer, a powerful advocate, and a superb advisor. GLAAD's work with Soulforce made a huge difference in the effectiveness of our message. Keep up the good work!"
Peter Drake
Soulforce Board Member and Volunteer
Presbyterian Elder
"I hope that these efforts have an impact shifting our nation's culture toward greater acceptance of LGBT people. More importantly if these articles give one person hope that God loves them or if just one person changes his or her mind about ending their life because they feel less isolated, it is worth it all."

- Over half of Roman Catholics consulted in the media presented negative messages about LGBT issues, despite the fact that 71% of American Catholics support civil marriage equality and 73% of lay Catholics support anti-discrimination laws that would protect LGBT people in the workplace and in public accommodations.
- The mainstream media used far fewer religious voices from Mainline Protestant, Jewish, or other religious sources whose messages were predominantly positive.

A man prosecutors say murdered three people in Greene County and left their bodies out on the road will stand trial.
Investigators say Taybronne White, 27, shot and killed Brian Lee Daniels, Dustin Knighton and Lisa Hwang in May 2011. Their bodies were found in the middle of Octonia Road in Stanardsville. Police say White killed them after a home invasion and robbery on Ford Avenue, just over a mile away.
White appeared in court Friday to have his case and evidence thrown out, but that did not happen. White's defense team said compromised and defective evidence denied him a fair trial and the judge rejected that argument.
An animal control officer, James Shiflett, was convicted of taking thousands of dollars from the Greene County Sheriff's evidence room between April 2009 and December 2011. The defense said because Shiflett may have tampered with evidence from White's case, the whole case should be thrown out.
Defense attorneys also asked the court to throw out the case because of mismatched sound and video on taped testimony. The judge rejected both requests.
Attorneys and the court agreed White's mental state may be important for sentencing.
The court will take up more motions on September 10 and 15. White goes to trial on September 24.

FARGO, ND. (KFGO AM) -- A man who pleaded guilty for his role in a prostitution case in Fergus Falls and then didn't show up for sentencing is in the Cass County Jail.
James Caswell was arrested over the weekend by Fargo police.
He is being held on a parole violation and giving false information to police.
Caswell pleaded guilty in August to felony prostitution charges.
He and another man were accused of pimping three women.

The intersection at Kentucky 56 and Kentucky 81 is one of the few remaining trump style intersections in the Owensboro area, and officials say building a roundabout there would increase the flow of traffic.
The pastor at a nearby church believes the change will lead to a safer commute.
