Location, value for money, breakfast, very clean
I have stayed in this hotel several times. The beds are comfy, the staff is so friendly and helpful and it is always immaculately clean.
The only issue this time was that the room was too hot and the aircon is not on during the winter (also when it is relatively really warm for someone coming from northern Europe!), even with the window open.
This is my second time here. It's still good. The staff are so friendly and helpful. There wasn't any tea making facilities but I asked and they sorted me out with a kettle. Loved the breakfast
The central heating is full on so I had to sleep with the window open. But it's a minor problrem.
The bar and brasserie offers a wonderfully relaxing atmosphere,good value food and excellent wine,all served by professional,polite and friendly staff at all times! It is one of the main reasons I choose this hotel,again and again.The front desk staff are extremely helpful.The hotel always does its best to provide me with any special requests I make at time of booking,and I find my bed very comfortable! Excellent standards of cleanliness,and best of all the location is ideal for the city centre and the hotel is a 3min walk from great cafes, bakeries and bars.The upstairs reading room is peaceful and very pleasant! Would strongly recommend this hotel and will be back!
Clean and tidy. Easy access to Athens city centre. The woman at the reception was lovely and helpful with info about coffee shops and restaurants nearby. It gave us a really good impression of Greece and Athens. Lovely people.
No safe in room. Air-conditioning turned off during winter time but it was hot and humid which made the room uncomfortable. No tea or coffee making facilities in room.
Water in room, staff lovely
Air conditioning wasn't great and found the room very warm
The staff were lovely, the breakfast was great. My room was divine. Would definitely stay again.
As a non smoker, cigarette smoke would sometimes come through the aircon from what I assume was from the smoking rooms. No kettle in room so I missed my tea in the eveings!
Clean hotel,room was nice,bathroom as well and the bed was good enough. Polite staff and very good location near the Metro station. Nice Breakfast and meals. Facilities were very good, good value for money.
Wifi Signal was poor No free parking, it costs 7.5euro/per day.
friendly personel in the brasserie, nice music and delecious capuccino cofee
can not approach the hotels entrance in order to unload the baggages from the car,and it was raining . no parking
The location was very convenient for the purpose of our trip.
The carpets had stains and even although the room was clean it was giving the feeling of dirt.
Friendly staff, clean, food is very good and being a solo female traveller they were good at helping me with most things. The man at the front desk remembered me and was as helpful as he was the first time . I would use them again .
Aircon does not work properly and they do not tell you about food discount if you are staying there.
Location for business in Athens (E side) - 10 mins walk to the Opera house metro, 2 km to Syntagma. A solid hotel, good prices. Nice dinner, good breakfast. Helpful staff. Large comfortable room. Quiet on the back.
None, unless I get very picky about having to use the door card to operate the lift - and that really is picky.
The friendly staff and excellent food and environment too
Good location,friendly staff. Very clean and well maintained.
Room is quite small. Very few staff speak English at a business or conversational level. Morning desk manager obviously didn't enjoy interaction with foreigners. Quite a contrast to the person on the evening shift
It's clean and the cleaning ladies are very pleasant.
We wanted to change room because we had very strange neighbors shouting at night (not hotel's fault),we talked to the front desk and the gentleman just said that could be worse in other rooms. We could see that he just couldn't be bothered.We didn't insist but it was getting worse and we were staying long time , so we got the manager and finally had our room changed. The staff don't seem to be helpful and they never smiled.
The Athinias Hotel was everything we would expect from a quality city hotel. The staff was very professional, the room was clean and comfortable, breakfast provided a good variety, and the shower was awesome! An ironing board was delivered to our room within a minute of our request. The restaurant serves a decent lunch at a fair price. Although there is nothing of interest around the hotel, it is just a few minutes' walk to the Metro and almost right across the street from the express airport bus.
Nothing to note.
Very friendly and professional staff. Amazing location - close to underground station - Metro line 3 - which can take you both straight to the airport and Acropolis. But you can get to the main tourists attractions on foot as well if you are not afraid of longer walks. Breakfast was excellent - the best we had in hotels in Greece.
The rooms interior could do with a bit of updating.
-professional attitude (staff + enviroment) -cafe bar at the lobby -breakfast(spacious hall) -close to 2 metro stations -soundproofed walls
-small shower cabin -little bit noisy if u choose a room in front(due to traffic from the avenue)
This was a good hotel with a wonderful room, wifi, comforts, towels, and a great breakfast to meet all tastes!! Within waling distance from Metro 3 and very handy for all the hospitals etc in the area!
Not anything!!!
Good breakfast, good bar and restaurant; prices similar to city centre. 30+ minutes walk from Parliament, 60 minutes to Acropolis. Bus, metro in front of entrance. Indoor parking nearby.
Wifi could be faster. Misunderstanding over the use of the Parking Exit card cost me 10 euros.

P6500 EVA: That was easy!
By Calvin Zito, @HPStorageGuy
Last week, I was visiting a customer who just recently got their new P6500 EVA. I can't say who because I don't have permission from them to talk about them publicly but I wanted to relate some of the conversation I had with them.
The customer is a mid-market to small enterprise type customer growing in their space. They had about 200 servers in their environment, mostly all HP BladeSystem. They are an EVA5000 customer, which was the second generation of the EVA. Their IT is centrally managed by a rather small staff. The IT operations (including server, storage, networking, and the telephone system) is mostly managed by one person.
The highlights
Here are some of the highlights they told me about:
- They are mostly an HP shop - providing data services to a broad range of end users
- They use VMware with 50% of their 200 + servers - and they are continuing to increase that
- As I said, they have an EVA5000 - they plan to migrate most of the data running on that to the new P6500 EVA.
Our hero - the EVA!
Paul, the network operations manager who does most of the day-to-day management of everything himself, told me that he installed the P6500 himself (even though it is supposed be installed by HP). Paul said, "The EVA arrived completely cabled on a pallet. We slid it into its final location, connected network and power, then read the manual to figure out how to log into the management interface. I created a LUN within two hours of taking it off the pallet." How's that for ease of use!
Paul also told me that he really got his money's worth out of the EVA5000. "We purchased the EVA5000 in 2004. The original thought was it was just going to be for email. It grew a lot since then - it's been used for hosting VMware, Oracle RAC, file servers, email system... pretty much everything you can think of it's been used for hosting. We also used it for testing VDI. For the six years we've had it, we've easily got our money's worth out of it for all we used it for."
VDI, pronto!
Paul told me that his CIO told them at 3 PM on a Friday that he wanted to see a VMware View (VDI) pilot. By 6 PM, Paul had it roughly set up on the EVA and by 9 AM on Monday, he showed his CIO the pilot of VMware View running Windows 7 on a tablet off the EVA and a VMware cluster. Both Paul and Steven said they appreciated that our HP products just work. Paul also told me he set up the pilot sitting at Starbucks.
Backup and file sharing
I asked Steven the IT manager to tell me about the other products they are leveraging. He said, "We had a number of initiatives come this way from management plus some things we wanted to work on which included user home folders, increased departmental file shares, as well as the ability to be flexible with how we showed NFS mount-points. We got a couple of the X3000 NAS gateways. Giving our operations manager the ability to present storage to hosts in new ways gives us flexibility. We also have a StoreOnce D2D. By adding those components to our overall infrastructure we can transform our entire backup strategy by using less tape; implementing dedup technology which reduces our backup footprint dramatically." Their StoreOnce D2D was relatively new - I want to check back with them in few months to see what their dedup ratio is.
Why so much EVA love?
I asked Paul why they like the EVA so much. Paul said, "The ease of use of the EVA is what makes it a huge win for us because we don't have a large IT organization. The more stuff that takes care of itself, the better. The EVA does everything I could want and more. The big thing with any enterprise hardware is that it just works. I felt that way about the EVA5000 and I feel that way about the P6500 so far."
Steven wrapped up our conversation with a great comment: "The EVA5000 has been such a reliable work-horse, it's hard to say goodbye to it. We're thinking about trying to keep it around for archival or disaster recover across our site. Yes, we've moved into a new EVA for the right reasons - that doesn't mean the old guy is going to be on the street anytime soon."
Given all the FUD we heard over the last year from competitors trying to bury the EVA, I really enjoyed hearing from this customer!

Kabul: A suicide bomber sneaked into a police dining hall in central Afghanistan at lunchtime on Friday and blew himself up, killing 12, while a border police officer and a civilian were killed in a separate suicide attack in the south, authorities said.
Uruzgan provincial government spokesman Abdullah Himmat said investigators are still trying to determine how the suicide bomber passed three checkpoints to enter the crowded hall at about 12:30 pm.
The bomber entered the dining hall and detonated a suicide vest just inside the door, he said. The dining hall was on a base in Tarin Kowt, Uruzgan`s capital, used by police assigned to secure the main highway to neighboring Kandahar.
Afghan media reported 10 of the 12 victims were Afghan national police officers. Himmat, however, would only say that the dead were "primarily police." Five other people were wounded in the explosion.
This year has seen violence levels comparable to the worst in nearly 12 years of war in Afghanistan. Though the Taliban have recently indicated they would be open to beginning peace talks, they have also said they will not give up their attacks.
In the southern province of Kandahar, a suicide bomber blew himself up at a border checkpoint entering Afghanistan from Pakistan, killing at least two people and wounding eight others.
Kandahar provincial government spokesman Javeed Faisal said the attacker detonated his explosives at midmorning at the gates of the Spin Boldak crossing into Afghanistan, which is used by thousands of people every day.
In addition to the suicide bomber, the blast killed one border police officer and wounded one, and killed one civilian and wounded seven others.
Border police say the officer killed was the checkpoint commander, and they assume he was the target.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Such attacks are usually the work of Islamic militants.
In another incident today in Uruzgan, Himmat, the government spokesman, said a boy and a girl were killed by a roadside bomb on their way home around midday.

Okay next ecchi crap, lets wait for a decent sub group now.
January 7th, 2013 at 7:02 pm
I think subdesu is decent enough
January 7th, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Is this censored badly? If so, is it watchable?
January 7th, 2013 at 7:58 pm
boobs, thanks
January 7th, 2013 at 8:29 pm
good question there grimjoe, I don't want to be blinded with white glowing censorship like in ToLoveRu Darkness …
January 7th, 2013 at 8:42 pm
why there is no age rating ?
January 7th, 2013 at 8:50 pm
Because tits are for everyone.
January 7th, 2013 at 8:53 pm
@Fakerlol that's because it's not out in Bluray or DVD yet I presume, not because fansubs made it so

Hey, look what I discovered: http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8560/coincidencei.jpg
January 7th, 2013 at 10:22 pm
The raw is CTC. Unfortunately no AT-X raw has appeared on the net so no confirmation yet if they will be doing it uncensored or not. Furthermore the first episodes itself doesn't have any nude scenes to actually warrant a scene that will have beams. Finally the game itself never showed any nudity, so if the anime stays close to it, I doubt there will be anything worth uncensoring. For now CTC is not censoring pantsu unlike most series that are broadcasted on TV so this is probably the closest we are gonna get to the ecchi factor.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:26 pm
PS: Many people might not know this, but subdesu has a new roaster of staff and this series is their first stab at an anime. Please watch it and then make an opinion rather than blindly stamping the group as crap just because of it's past performance. In the end it's not the group's name that's good or bad, it's the people behind it.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:28 pm
w00p, they made an anime of this? awsome! The game on 3ds was great :D
January 7th, 2013 at 10:30 pm
@tracer: this anime is based on an nintendo 3ds game who was out before that Fairy Tail character was even drawn so yeah… who copied who one might ask.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:40 pm
how about this? I think senran kagura copy this one, since this comes out before SK
January 7th, 2013 at 10:48 pm
@ Sev-X1: Obviously FT copied this anime then, but that's okay, Gildarts was inspired on Shanks, could be another homage that only just now became apparent to laymen like myself.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:48 pm
I've never had any complaints about Subdesu. The story looks funny enough.
January 7th, 2013 at 10:57 pm
japanese people make views a perverts. oh no..
January 7th, 2013 at 11:23 pm
No.. back ground info this.. and it's alrdy on my 100%! watch list!. And that's just after the first ep!(cute girls!). :P~
And Subdesu has made mistakes in the past..(hasn't all.. subbed groups!?..) but nothing like hadena.. when it comes to a continuation of it…
January 7th, 2013 at 11:28 pm

January 8th, 2013 at 2:15 am
skyguardian thats a joke right better than naruto yeah right all girls crap shit this anime season looks bad believe it!
January 8th, 2013 at 2:44 am

January 8th, 2013 at 3:12 am

January 8th, 2013 at 4:44 am
What the hell is this? Silicon Valley!? Girls are not Boobs, Japanese should understand that by now.
January 8th, 2013 at 7:13 am
HamHam : What the heck did i just read from you? It made no sense, minding clearing things up?
January 8th, 2013 at 8:15 am
i see boobs…..and the content/quality….hmmm…
nonetheless,thanks guys
January 8th, 2013 at 12:42 pm
Still better then the Regular school Harem crap.
January 8th, 2013 at 1:34 pm
It's still pretty good to me despite the ecchi.
January 8th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
After watching the initial 7 minutes of this, I feel as if I've been lobotomized.
If you have the attention span of a goldfish and the IQ of a plankton, then this may be for you.
January 8th, 2013 at 4:06 pm
The only ecchi release of the season
January 8th, 2013 at 7:15 pm
Thanks for FileFactory.. Starting to take the piss now.
JUST USE PEEJE Share and STICK WITH IT.
January 8th, 2013 at 10:26 pm
I was waiting for this for so long, even hoped it would be an anime since the games would never make it to the USA. After watching it, I am soo happy this was animated. It is ecchi, but the animation is solid and quick, not to mention nice action.
January 9th, 2013 at 5:58 am
A bit too girly for me. Needs more sausage.
January 9th, 2013 at 10:14 pm
Waiting for smaller file.
The bottom line is: IS IT GOOD?
January 10th, 2013 at 11:46 pm
My question is there a uncensored version or is this just how it is?
January 12th, 2013 at 11:13 pm
why in 1280p ? it takes 6 hours to download.
January 16th, 2013 at 8:37 pm
January 21st, 2013 at 6:53 am
So… nothing more than an extension of Ikki Tousen and Queen's Blade?

Polaroid has unveiled three new high-definition sports action cameras for outdoor enthusiasts looking to capture their action for posterity - Polaroid's answer to GoPro's popular line of durable outdoor cameras. One product is available now; the other two are coming this summer.
More →
GoPro has launched the HERO3+ line of cameras with an updated design and increased battery life over previous models. Both of the new cameras are 20% smaller and lighter than the previous generation, with GoPro also claiming a battery life improvement of up to 30%.
Alex Dobie of Android Central joins Rene to talk about mobile camera, from the dumb phone days to the latest iPhone, Android, Windows Phone, and BlackBerry glass, plus a look at micro 4/3, high end DSLR, and a RED. Yeah, pretty much pure camera porn!
Brian Klug of AnandTech joins Rene to talk Apple TV chipsets, the limitations of battery life, camera optics and microns, high density displays and arc minutes, iOS vs. Android limitations, and much more. It's serious nerd talk, and our longest show ever! You've been warned!
We're back from flu enforced hiatus with an all new episode of TiPb TV featuring Apple's all new iPad 2! There's so much to cover we're going to be breaking it up over several shows and fair warning -- we're going to be having fun with it. (If you want a more traditional look, go read our iPad 2 review.)
This time around Rene and I take a look at iPad 2's Apple A5 chipset and iOS 4.3's JavaScript Nitro engine to see just how fast games like Infinity Blade can launch and websites like TiPb.com can render. Then we take FaceTime and the iPad 2's "cameras" on the road for a full on tourist test at the local mall. And oh man your eyes may never recover!
(In case you're curious, we used iPhone 4's Wi-Fi personal hotspot to connect iPad 2 to FaceTime over 3G which makes no sense but worked well.)
Watch along with us above and then let us know what you think -- is the web and app speed worth the upgrade? Are the cameras good enough to use in a pinch?
The iPad 2 is equipped with two cameras, a front-facing VGA camera and a rear facing 720p HD camera. Check out the video above for example footage with both cameras.
Recording video on the iPad 2 is a little awkward given it's large size, but it gets the job done. Another thing that takes some getting used to is that when using the front-facing camera to record yourself in landscape mode, the camera is positioned to the far left (or right). It feels strange looking so far from the center of the screen because I have grown accustomed to looking at the top of a device or just the screen while recording video. It's clear that you are not looking at the camera if you stare at the screen while recording.
The quality of video taken with the VGA and HD cameras are as expected. In well-lit situations, the HD camera produces excellent results and the VGA camera gives acceptable quality. Both cameras do an ok job in bad lighting situations, but admittedly do better than I was expecting. In fact, while taking footage in my daughter's poorly lit bedroom, the video looked pretty bad; but after uploading it to YouTube and watching on a computer, it didn't look too shabby.
Taking still photographs with the iPad 2 is not nearly as rewarding as video. The photographs come out mediocre even in excellent light conditions. With that said, I was actually rather impressed with the close-up photograph I took of a bush. Digital zoom with the rear-facing camera, however, is awful. It's not even worth your time to test it out.
Considering the fact that the iPad 2 is not, and should not be, regarded as a primary camera, I am content with the quality of the video and photographs obtained with the iPad 2. Of course, I would love to see better cameras, but they do a good enough job for my needs.
To check out the photos taken with the iPad 2, follow along after the break!
Side note: the video above was edited with iMovie on the iPad 2.
More rumors out of the supply chain today suggest that iPad 2 might indeed have a camera -- front and back, actually -- and once again a better resolution display is being mentioned as well. Kelvin Soh and Argin Chang, reporting for Reuters, spoke to four people "familiar with the situation":
Two could only confirm they were ramping up for a new round of production in the first quarter for components previously supplied for the original iPad, while two said the ramp-up was for a new iPad. One of those said the revamped model would feature cameras on the front and rear, while the other said the new model would be slimmer, lighter and have a better resolution display.

Phoenix HotelsThe capital city of Arizona, Phoenix is a huge, sprawling expanse of old-world adobe houses, flashy galleries and museums, and buzzing main streets lined with chic boutiques and homey restaurants. Architecture appreciators will find plenty to admire in Phoenix's diverse mix of buildings, and nightlife-lovers will go wild for the city's performing arts scene. Based in Arizona's golden, cacti-studded landscape, Phoenix also offers plenty of outdoor activities, from wild hiking to desert gardens. Things to seeStart you sun-kissed Phoenix morning by taking in some of the city's top museums. Begin at The Heard, a community-loved museum of native cultures and arts, housed in a white-washed Spanish-style building. See the historic Hopi Kachina dolls, and gaze at mesmerizing hand-crafted jewelry. After, art-fanatics should move on to the Phoenix Art Museum, a vast center which showcases works from modern and contemporary American, European, and Asian artists. Marvel at surreal Picasso masterpieces and inspirational Georgia O'Keeffe paintings, and stop to appreciate the sleek, unconventional architectural design of the museum itself. As the afternoon rolls around, immerse yourself in some of Arizona's iconic natural scenery at the Desert Botanical Garden.

Altintop pens new Bayern deal
03 Jun 2010 - 07:01:09
Midfielder Hamit Altintop has penned a new one-year contract to remain with Bayern Munich.
The Turkey international was out of contract at the Allianz Arena this summer but will stay with the newly-crowned Bundesliga champions for another season at least.
The 27-year-old made 21 appearances in all competitions last season, including starting the Champions League final defeat to Internazionale last month.
Franck Ribery and Diego Contento have recently signed new deals with the Bavarian giants.
However, Michael Rensing and Andreas Goerlitz have been told they are free to leave following the end of their contracts.

As mentioned before, Wine is a single process which translates Windows calls, including undocumented calls that applications need (and a few DOS int21 calls as well) to X and Unix calls, respectively. It is also responsible for properly loading Windows applications. Wine reads the executable file, and correctly loads the code, data, and resources into memory.
Wine is a single process which uses only one non-standard system call, which is required to be able to run 16-bit code instead of 32-bit code. Therefore, it is relatively simple to port Wine to operating systems which conform to POSIX (more or less), have X, and for which the source is free, or which provide an appropriate alternate non-standard system call for setting up the LDT so that 16-bit code can run. Wine was originally developed for Linux, but the port to FreeBSD and NetBSD took less than a week.
The most basic window-handling functions in Wine are written as an interface to the appropriate Xlib functions for manipulating X windows. However, wherever possible, other internal functions in Wine call the basic window-handling functions in Wine instead of Xlib. This has several benefits: it makes Wine more modular, it makes the basic window-handling functions be better tested, and it makes it less necessary for every Wine developer to have X programming expertise.
Wine can be run like any other X program: you can run it from the command line:
% wine sol
or you can put it in a menu, or launch it from a file manager. When launched, programs run and act as if they were running under Windows. By default, applications come up in a special kind of window that looks very much like those provided by Windows instead of looking like other X windows. It looks as if a normal Windows window popped up in the middle of all your X windows, because your window manager doesn't put a standard "frame" on the window. Unfortunately, those windows do not interact well with virtual window managers like fvwm (they don't go away when you switch to another virtual screen), so there is an option to bring up an X window that contains the application window, and this is well-behaved with virtual window managers.
Wine is still in ALPHA testing. It only runs a few applications (other than the test applications that come with it) at this point, although more are being added rapidly to the list. At some point, when Wine supports several major applications, it will be released as BETA software for anyone to play with. However, the BETA release will most likely be missing several features. DDE and OLE are not likely to be supported in the BETA release, and because X has no standard printing mechanism, printing will probably also be unsupported.
Development will not stop with the BETA release. If anything, it will speed up as more programmers become familiar with the project. New BETA releases will be released periodically as Wine progresses.
To continue to develop Wine, we need your help. All the work on the project is currently being done by volunteers with Internet access, so anyone with Internet access may join the project. If you are interested, but are not skilled at Windows programming, start by reading the FAQ, available from tsx-11.mit.edu or aris.com in /pub/linux/ALPHA/Wine/Wine.FAQ.
There are several projects that can be done by newcomers to the project who are not yet skilled in Windows programming, and there are also reading recommendations for learning the Windows programming skills you need to be of more help to the project.
If you have more money than time, please consider a donation to the Wine project. Donations will be used to hire programmers to accelerate the development. If you are interested in making a donation of any size, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com.

For the past five years he has worked as an independent engineering consultant specializing in embedded control and communications systems. His first exposure to Linux was in December 1992 when he installed it on his e-mail server. He began work on Wine as a result of discussions on comp.os.linux in May and June of 1993.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

In the backwoods of Ohio, Willard Russell's wife is succumbing to cancer, no matter how much he drinks, prays, or sacrifices animals at his "prayer log." Meanwhile, his son Arvin is growing up, from a kid bullied at school into a man who knows when to take action. Around them swirl a nefarious cast of characters—a demented team of serial killers, a spider-eating preacher, and a corrupt local sheriff—all braided into a riveting narrative of the grittiest American grain.
DONALD RAY POLLOCK, recipient of the 2009 PEN/Robert Bingham Fellowship, made his literary debut in 2008 with the critically acclaimed short story collection Knockemstiff. He worked as a laborer at the Mead Paper Mill in Chillicothe, Ohio, from 1973 to 2005.
Donald Ray Pollock worked in a paper mill and meatpacking plant for 32 years before becoming a writer. His second book The Devil All the Time is set in his hometown of Knockemstiff, Ohio, where he says "nearly everyone was connected by blood through one godforsaken calamity or another."

Praise for The Devil All The Time:
"Brutally creative. . . . Pollock knows how to dunk readers into a scene and when to pull them out gasping."--The New York Times Book Review
"Fulfills the promise in [Knockemstiff]. . . . Invites comparisons to Flannery O'Connor and Raymond Carver." –USA Today
"Finely woven. . . . [A] throat-stomping Appalachian crime story." –GQ
"For fans of No Country for Old Men . . . sure to give you goose bumps." —Details
"Should cement Pollock's reputation as a significant voice in American fiction." —Los Angeles Times
"Will have you on the edge of your seat." —Christian Science Monitor
"A systematic cataloguing of the horror and hypocrisy that festers in the dark shadow of the American dream." —The Portland Mercury
"You may be repelled, you may be shocked, you will almost certainly be horrified, but you will read every last word." —The Washington Post
"Disarmingly smooth prose startled by knife-twists of black humor. . . . Expertly employs the conventions of Southern Gothic horror."— The Wall Street Journal
"Reads as if the love child of O'Connor and Faulkner was captured by Cormac McCarthy, kept in a cage out back and forced to consume nothing but onion rings, Oxycontin and Terrence Malick's Badlands."--The Oregonian
"[Pollock] doesn't get a word wrong in this super-edgy American Gothic stunner."--Elle
"Features a bleak and often nightmarish vision of the decades following World War II, a world where redemption, on the rare occasions when it does come to town, rides shotgun with soul-scarring consequences."--The Onion, A.V. Club
"Mr. Pollock's new novel is, if anything, even darker than the Knockemstiff, and its violence and religious preoccupations venture into Flannery O'Connor territory."--The New York Times
"Donald Ray Pollock's engaging and proudly violent first novel…suggests a new category of fiction—grindhouse literary. Subtle characterization: check. Well-crafted sentences: check. Enthusiastic amounts of murder and mayhem: check, check."—The Daily Beast
"Beneath the gothic horror is an Old Testament sense of a moral order in the universe, even if the restoration of that order itself requires violence."--The Columbus Dispatch
"A smorgasbord of grotesque characters trapped in a pressure-cooker plot. . . . Brutal fun."--Esquire
"For a first novel so soaked in stale sweat and bright fresh blood, Pollock's sweat is well-earned, and his blood is wise."--Philadelphia Citypaper
"A gallery of reprobates and religious fanatics... are multidimensional, flawed human beings."--Dayton Daily News
"[The Devil All the Time is] a world unto its own, a world vividly and powerfully brought to life by a literary stylist who packs a punch as deadly as pulp-fiction master Jim Thompson and as evocative and morally rigorous as Russell Banks."—Philadelphia Inquirer
"Stunning . . . . One wild story . . . gives us sex, murder, mayhem and some of the most bizarre characters in fiction today."—Richmond Times-Dispatch

The next time your phone rings, check the caller ID if you have it. Ken Taylor of Colorado Springs was suspicious as soon as he saw this on his phone display: "876-568-5061 JAMAICA." Ken tells me he received two calls. During the first, the man on the other end explained that he wanted to deliver a check to Ken's house. Ken smelled a rat and said he wasn't interested. In fact, he told the guy... he knew this was a scam... which the man denied. Shortly afterwards Ken took a second call from Jamaica. The man was more insistent.. which made Ken angry. He told the caller he had already reported his first call to police and if a man showed up at his door... a police officer would arrest him. That worked. The man hung up and hasn't called back since. The area code 876 is associated with a lot of scams. You might assume just because the number starts with 8... it might be a toll-free call... it isn't. One thing I've learned to do... and it might be helpful for you, too.... I do a google search of a number I don't recognize before taking the call. The information you get there often will help you decide if it's worth taking the call or not. In some cases you can be charged for taking an international call... or worse. Just remember 876--- means Jamaica... and stay away.

Three weeks ago, I purchased the above pistol new, on the largest auction site from a reputable source.
I picked the pistol up from the FFL who completed the transfer.
When I checked the pistol out before cleaning, the first thing that I discovered was that the grip saftey was seizing. I could push the grip saftey in and then after releasing it, I could pull the trigger. Upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that the grip saftey was mis aligned.
I called Kahr Arms to report this obvious safety defect and was directed to leave my name, number and the reason for my call. To date, I have not heard from Kahr Arms, and have since learned that they have one of the poorest customer service departments of any company in the domestic firearms business.
I probably had recourse to the seller, but didn't believe this was anything but poor workmanship and that I could get it resolved thruough Kahr. Keep in mind, I havn't heard back from Kahr.
I took the pistol to a gunsmith who freed up the sticking grip safety and agreed it was due to mis alingment and poor workmanship.
I took the pistol to the range today and it was a complete failure. The pistol repeatedly failed to load and eject. The gunsmith at the range said it was a combination of defects in the extractor and an inferior magazine.
I have tried to be completely objective here. I simply want to warn other members of this forum who are 1911 afficianados to beware of Kahr products.
At this point, I will simply take the pistol back to the gunsmith and hope that he can make it safe and reliable. If not, I will relinquish it and the serial nr for destruction.
I think it is clear to me that I'll receive no help from this company which is owned and funded by the Unification Church (Moonies).

Trey Grayson: New Northern Kentucky Chamber president coming home for 'perfect job'
First order of business: 'Get up to speed'
Dish up the Skyline and start scooping the Graeter's. Trey Grayson is coming home.
The Northern Kentucky native on Wednesday was named the new president of the Northern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce. He starts the job July 1.
"This is kind of a perfect job for me," said Grayson, who confessed to missing his hometown chili and ice cream in previous interviews. "The job is to essentially improve the quality of life."
Grayson, 42, is well known in the region. He grew up in Edgewood and graduated from Dixie Heights High School in 1990 as valedictorian. He got his undergraduate degree from Harvard University and then went to University of Kentucky on scholarship to get an MBA and law degree.
Grayson was elected Kentucky Secretary of State in 2003 in his first run for public office. He was re-elected handily four years later.
He and his wife and two daughters moved to Massachusetts in early 2011 after he was named director of Harvard's Institute of Politics. The move came after he lost to Rand Paul in the 2010 GOP primary for the U.S. Senate seat that was open after Sen. Jim Bunning retired.
Grayson spoke with WCPO about his plans for the chamber, what lessons from his unsuccessful senate campaign he plans to apply to the job and whether he wants to run for political office again someday. Excerpts follow.
Q: The region is facing plenty of challenges. I'd like to get your thoughts on a few. What's your first order of business when it comes to the Brent Spence Bridge project?
A: The first order of business – really on anything – for me is to get up to speed. I'm from Northern Kentucky. I've been following what's going on. And I have some opinions. But I need to know a lot more.
One of the things that's pretty clear is that we have to engage in a conversation that starts from the premise that the bridge needs to be upgraded. It's not safe, there's too much traffic, it's getting worse. Then walk through what are the solutions, how do you find funding for the solutions. I think we're selling the community on the need for a replacement and pay for it in whatever way we need to pay for it.
It's pretty clear that the community's not there yet. They're not ready to say we need a bridge, we need tolls to get them done, and that's the reality.
The first order of business is to have those conversations and identify the facts.
It's a lot of talking and listening, but it's important for the region so it's going to be one of the first conversations we start.
Insiders can read the rest of WCPO's Q&A with Grayson, including what he had to say about whether he will run for political office again.

Barack Obama Mitt Romney Paul Ryan Bill Clinton George W. Bush Jesse Jackson Sarah Palin
Bill Clinton is moving to install Terry McAuliffe as the head of the DNC, a cynical move in this day of pay-to-play politics.
The governor issued a moratorium on executions in Illinois a year ago, after investigative-reporting students and their professor saved an innocent man from the death chamber.

Al Gore will be playing a special political role in the future.
The election reveals a deep need for voting reform.
But as the bankers know, he loves some of us more than others.
Our drug laws, like those concerning voting, reveal bias and backward thinking.
Wait until next season. I've already started practicing my
chad-punching, and I suggest the same as therapy for all who feel ripped
off by the collusion between the US Supreme Court's right-wing
ideologues and George W. Bush's lawyers to prevent an accurate Florida
vote count. The electoral process will survive and Bush may even learn to
do the job, but the price of his victory is the court's denigration.
It took a non-ideological Republican appointee, a near-extinct breed
in the GOP, to puncture the outrageous hypocrisy of the Antonin
Scalia-led majority that defined a fair recount by the singular standard
that would leave Bush the winner.
In his dissent, John Paul Stevens wrote the indelible postscript to
this judicial farce: "Although we may never know with complete certainty
the identity of the winner of this year's presidential election, the
identity of the loser is perfectly clear. It is the nation's confidence
in the judge as an impartial guardian of the rule of law."
The so-called court conservatives simply had no sense of shame or even
proportion. Think of the conflicts of interest we learned about only in
the last few days: Clarence Thomas's wife is helping the conservative
Heritage Foundation recruit workers for a Bush administration, and Scalia
has two sons associated with key law firms representing Bush--one a
partner of Theodore Olson, who argued Bush's case before the high court.
It's also common knowledge that Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist and
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor indicated a desire to retire, but only if
Bush won and could replace them. In that event, Bush would likely appoint
Scalia as chief justice.
Common decency, let alone judicial integrity, should have left the
court's majority more hesitant in acting as agent for selecting the next
President. Instead of taking the high road and leaving the matter where
it belonged with the Florida Supreme Court--according to the federal high
court's own oft-avowed states' rights precepts--Scalia and company
insisted on halting the recount. Why? Because there wasn't time to do it
right. But whose fault was that? Bush's and the US Supreme Court's.
Had the statewide count of disputed ballots been allowed to fairly
conclude, it would have shored up our next President's legitimacy. If
Bush had won the electoral vote after a fair count in Florida, it would
have taken the sting out of his ascending to the presidency despite
losing the national popular vote.
The US Supreme Court's heavy-handed intrusion was as destructive of
confidence in our political system as it was unnecessary. As Justice
Stephen G. Breyer wrote in dissent, the majority ruling represented "a
self-inflicted wound--a wound that may harm not just the court but the
Never again will a President's appointment of a federal judge be
viewed by the public--and more important the Senate, which must confirm
it--as a neutral, nonpolitical act. Recall that even such hard-line
ideologues as Justices Thomas and Scalia were confirmed with votes from
Democratic senators who thought it important to give the President the
benefit of the doubt. Next time anyone of discernible ideological bias is
nominated, there will be unprecedented senatorial gridlock. For that
reason, the real test of the Bush presidency will be his appointments to
the federal courts.
It is the same test faced by his father: Will they be true moderates,
such as Justice David H. Souter, a man capable of complex legal thought,
or another Thomas, whose most sentient act is to look to Scalia, then
vote? What a sad comment that the man who replaced Thurgood Marshall as
the only African-American on the court should now, in helping to block
the recount, so brazenly mock Marshall's lifelong crusade to insure the
sanctity of the black vote.
In any event, the court has handed the nation George Bush as
President, and we can live with that and even entertain hopes that he
will rise to the occasion, despite an obvious lack of preparation. Deep
down, if one can presume such a thing, he seems a decent sort. If he just
keeps in mind that most of the voters rejected him, he might resist Tom
DeLay's ultra-rightists in the House and pursue a moderate legislative
course. In any case, now that Joseph Lieberman will retain his seat, the
Senate will be evenly divided, and centrists of both parties will be
calling the shots.
But what we cannot live with is an even more politicized judiciary
dominated by right-wing ideologues. The GOP's far right will want strong
proof that its aggressive campaigning for Bush is rewarded, and its prime
goal is complete control of the federal judiciary, which is why Senate
Republicans blocked scores of Bill Clinton's judicial appointments.
However, if Bush attempts to reward his rabidly conservative backers by
placing their favorites in high positions in the federal judiciary, he
will tear this country apart. And next time, his opponent's chads will be
punched so forcefully that even the Supreme Court won't be able to save
We know what they're afraid of. Cut through the Republican verbiage
that has clogged the airwaves and courts and you find one simple but
disturbing point: They fear an accurate vote count because it might prove
that Al Gore has the votes to be fairly elected President.
That's been their concern since election night, when they began their
drawn-out process of obstruction, and if they succeed in once again
killing the manual count through their US Supreme Court appeal, George
W. Bush's victory will stand as a low point in the annals of American
The indelible impression left on our history will be that Gore won
both the popular and electoral vote and that he and the voters were
cheated out of that victory by a US Supreme Court dominated by
political ideologues appointed by Republican Presidents. If the Justices
cared a whit about the sanctity of the vote, they would have let the
manual-counting process decreed Friday by the Florida Supreme Court
continue. If that had resulted in a Bush win, we should all have
gracefully acknowledged his victory.
Bush, who lost by more than 330,000 in the popular vote--what most of
us grew up thinking of as the real election--may now squeak by with an
electoral college win resulting from a ruling by the right-wing-led US
Supreme Court. During the campaign, Bush cited Antonin Scalia and
Clarence Thomas as his judicial role models, and he has been amply
rewarded. Legal gobbledygook has replaced reason when the mere act of
fairly counting the votes of the citizens is halted to suit the political
agenda of the party that appointed the majority of the Justices.
In a close election, a manual count of all votes not counted by the
antiquated voting machines is a statutory mandate in many states,
including Florida and Texas, and should have been the common-sense demand
of both candidates in Florida. If that simple standard--accurately and
fairly counting all of the votes to ascertain the intent of each
voter--had been asserted in a bipartisan manner, there would have been no
reason for the subsequent confusion and the never-to-end questioning of
the legitimacy of our next President.
Instead, unprecedented rancor will mark the next years of our
politics, mocking all efforts at bipartisan cooperation. This will be
particularly true in battles over the judiciary, which, more than ever,
will come to be viewed widely as a partisan tool.
The Florida election will always be too close to call in a manner that
would leave partisans of both sides totally satisfied. Whoever loses will
feel ripped off, but the denigration of the Florida Supreme Court and of
Gore's legal challenges by top Bush Republican spokesperson James Baker
has gone too far. Twice now he has smeared the motives of Florida Supreme
Court justices for daring to come to conclusions not to Baker's liking.
Yet he reached a new low Friday in disparaging the right of a
presidential candidate--who has won the national popular vote and is only
three electoral votes from victory--to ask for a judicial review of the
obviously deeply flawed Florida election results.
Get real. Both Baker and Bush know they would do the same had the
results gone the other way. Yet they self-righteously abandoned civility
when the nation most needed it. There are no villains in this election,
only imperfect machines and people, but the Bush camp has vilified the
Gore camp for daring to seek a fair adjudication of such matters.
We are still a nation of laws, and it was unconscionable for Baker to
blast Gore for appealing to the Florida state high court at the very time
Bush's lawyers raced to the federal courts in an unseemly departure from
the GOP's commitment to states' rights. In Baker's view, the problem is
not that we have a razor-close election and flawed voting procedures, but
rather that Gore dares to assert his legal rights: "This is what happens
when, for the first time in modern history, a candidate resorts to
lawsuits to overturn the outcome of an election for President. It is very
sad. It is sad for Florida. It is sad for the nation, and it is sad for
Hogwash! What is sad is that tens of thousands of African-American and
Jewish voters in Florida were systematically denied their right to vote
by poorly drawn ballots, malfunctioning voting machines and unhelpful
voting officials. What is sad is that election officials in two counties
turned over flawed Republican absentee ballot applications for
corrections by Republican Party officials but did no such favors for
What would be most sad--indeed, alarming--is if a partisan US
Supreme Court proves to be an enemy of representative democracy.

BoSox complete six-player deal for closerAP FILE PHOTO
In this July 7, 2012, photo, Pittsburgh closer Joel Hanrahan delivers during a game against the San Francisco Giants in Pittsburgh.BOSTON The Red Sox have acquired All-Star closer Joel Hanrahan from the Pittsburgh Pirates in a six-player deal.
Boston completed the trade Wednesday, also receiving infielder Brock Holt. The Red Sox gave up right-handers Mark Melancon and Stolmy Pimentel, infielder Ivan DeJesus Jr. and first baseman-outfielder Jerry Sands.
Over the past two seasons, the right-handed Hanrahan had 76 saves, fourth most in the National League, and a 2.24 ERA. Last season, he was 5-2 with a 2.72 ERA and 36 saves.
Holt spent most of last season at Double-A Altoona, then hit .292 in 24 games with the Pirates, all in September.
Melancon was 0-2 with a 6.20 ERA in 41 relief appearances in his only season with Boston. Pimentel spent the season at Double-A Portland. Sands and DeJesus were obtained in a trade that sent Josh Beckett, Carl Crawford and Adrian Gonzalez to the Los Angeles Dodgers on Aug. 25.
The Red Sox also announced the signing of free agent shortstop Stephen Drew, who agreed to a one-year contract early last week. That reported $9.5 million deal was contingent on his passing a physical.MORE IN Sports WireTAMPA, Fla. Full StoryTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS Full StoryPALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. Full Story -
