"Not up to 4-start rating"
It's a decent place to stay but more like a 3-start than a 4-star. Room is clean but not a lot of amenities to speak of. Everything can be summarized as "so-so". It's in a quiet neighborhood, but a 20-min walk to the downtown areas. The hotel does provide free rental of bicycles which is a plus.Hotels.com visszajelzések
"Our stay in Florence"
Hotel San Gallo Palace was a very nice hotel to stay in. The room was large and comfortable. The breakffast was great. My only realy complaint about the hotel was that the only English-language stations were BBC news, Finance news and the like. Also, they do have free Wi-Fi, so we were constanly looking for resturants that offered it. Other than that, […] the hotel was great! Nice location; everything was in walking distance.

"Very nice hotel, highly recommended!"
It's a little less than 10 min drive from the train station. Bus stop is two blocks away which can take you to many of the attractions. It's located in a busy but not too noisy area. Room is very spacious compared to other hotels in Europe. Nice decor, bright and clean. Highly recommend!Hotels.com visszajelzések

"walking distance to sight-seeing"
Location: since there aren't any Metro in the city, you have to take the bus or walk. The closest bus station that takes you to duomo area is about 1-2 min walk. And if you decide to walk all the way, it takes about 25 mins. The main train station is about 15 min walk or you can taxi. You'll have to take a taxi for the campo di marte station. Room & […] Bathroom: The room was clean and the bathroom was nice. There was a piece of glass as a shower curtain and expect your bathroom floor to be very wet after a shower..... There was a bidet available but I didn't use it. Service: The front desk was very helpful in recommending places to go and how to get there. Breakfast was pretty good and it was partially serviced- they brought your coffee/ or lattes. Overall: I think the hotel was very nice for its rate and location and I would recommend this place :) További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések
"friendly, clean, and comfortable"
The staff are excellent, as was the condition of the room. The only reason for a 4/5 on comfort is that the room was small. However, they compensated us with a very large private terrace, complete with a cafe table and two chairs. I liked the location because it was away from the tourist area, but those wanting to avoid a taxi or a 20 minute walk to […] the central tourist area should find something closer.

Staff were very helpful and understanding. Air conditioning was perfect as temperature outside was over 30 degrees. Great location as near to town. No traffic noise considering location. Only issue was Internet not free.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Lovely staff, good location, great service!!"
Friendly staff especially the barman, lovely breakfast and outdoor area to dine or have drinks. Once we discovered how far away we were from city centre, we walked which took about 15 minutes- perfect in the warm sunshine. When it was dark or we were returning from dinner, we'd get a taxi for about 10 euro- the hotel can book these for you too. Love […] this hotel and would definitely recommend.

"A great hotel"
This hotel helped to make our holiday a great experience. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The environment was pleasant, clean and welcoming. There was a good, varied selection of food for breakfast which we all (parents and two grown-up daughters) enjoyed. There was a brief mix up when we explained that our eldest daughter had a nut allergy. […] Staff initially thought we meant a gluten allergy and one item they brought to us was unsuitable. However staff quickly realised their mistake and acted promptly to rectify the situation. After that we were all able to enjoy a plentiful breakfast without any problems. We spent an enjoyable couple of hours in the hotel bar where, once again, staff were extremely helpful and pleasant. It takes about 15-20 minutes to walk into the centre of the city, however it is an enjoyable walk and if you prefer you can catch a bus. (Bus tickets, which can be bought from local newspaper shops, cost €1.20 and are valid for 90 minutes from the point at which they are stamped when you first get on the bus.) We would highly recommend this hotel and wouldn't hesitate to go back there again if we return to Florence in the future. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Good value & only 20 mins to centre"
The hotel was of a good standard, the staff were friendly & helpful and the room was comfortable - the balcony in the room was a nice touch too. The rooms are a good size and have air conditioning which is welcomed after a summer day in Florence! The showers were very good; take shampoo/conditioner with you as the hotel only provide body wash. Breakfast […] was simple but sufficient and the breakfast staff were lovely. The hotel is a 15-20 minute walk to the historical centre and it's a pleasant walk to get there. I think it's worth staying just a little out of the centre to get this better standard of hotel and one that is value for money. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

"Great hotel, but no free internet?!"
I thought the hotel was great, but a few things could use some work. First of all, I think any hotel today without free internet is just ridiculous especially when they make it not affordable. The bed was soso and the pillows were terrible. That being said, the hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is on the edge of the map which is […] slightly inconvenient but ok if you enjoy walking. I the only things that might stop me from recommending to a friend is the paid internet and the hotel location... További részletekHotels.com visszajelzések

love this hotel, spacious. we were a big group of 14, they took all our luggage since too early for check in. when we came back unlike the other hotels we checked in, everything is in each room. breakfast is good too.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Great Hotel for everyone"
I thought the hotel was excellent value for money. The rooms were clean, tidy and well decorated. The breakfast room was a lovely way to start the day with plenty of good food and polite, friendly staff. The location was fine with a walk of about 15 minutes to the centre. I would highly recommend this hotel.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Comfortable hotel, a little way out of the centre"
Pros: Small hotel, with very helpful staff. Comfortable bed, good bathroom. We had a terrace to sit out on. Cons: No restaurant and traffic noise as was near very busy road.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Delightful hotel"
This hotel is a little north of the duomo which makes it even more perfect. Far from the maddening crowds, they have a nice bar, a peaceful outdoor/indoor breakfast area: there are a few gems of other restaurants nearby. We had the delightful front room so windows on all sides of our bed. I would recommend this hotel to anyone.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Service Improvements"
This hotel is great, but the service from some staff poor which spoilt it. We missed the bar closing by about a minute (by his watch not ours!) so the barman refused us a night cap and when asking the night porter for an extra pillow got told to wait until the morning after I chased him up - he was more interested in his private mobile conversation! […] We loved the older breakfast man though, super polite and the receptionists good too. The rest of it was good so on the whole ok, but with so much choice out there and others for similar money we wouldn't go back because of those service pitfalls.

We were very happy with the hotel. The grounds were very charming and the rooms were well decorated, with a modern, tile bathroom . The breakfasts were outstanding and the staff couldn't have been more helpful and friendly. It was a little further from the city center, but we quickly learned to utilize the busses which stopped right on our blockValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"no free wifi/internet"
This was a great hotel. Clean, updated and close to everything. Only downfall, no free wifi for guests. All the B&B's we sayed at had this but not the higher hotel? Also, extra pillows (2 per guests) should be provided. Pillows are flat but bed comfy.Hotels.com visszajelzések
"Wonderful hotel and staff!"
Our trip was this past May. Great hotel and very accommodating staff. The hotel is located on a busy street but is surrounded by shrubbery and walls so the noise level isn't bad. Nice patio outside. Great breakfast with fresh pastries and a variety of food. Parking is limited so make sure you tell them ahead of time if you are bringing a car. Short […] walking distance to all the local attractions, no more the half an hour. Great restaurants even closer. Would definitely stay there again! További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

"close to sights"
A good, clean hotel within 20 min. walk of the dome. Abundant breakfast. Overall, a good choice for tourists with one minor quibble (known to me before having made the reservation): Wi-Fi was an extra charge. In all other hotels we stayed at during our two week Italian vacation, Wi-Fi was free.This won't detract me to recommend this hotel highly.Hotels.com visszajelzések
"Not quite central but a very pleasant stay!"
It might be a bit of a walk to the historic centre - and the streets getting there aren't all that - but this 4* hotel was a joy to stay at.

"Overall decent stay"
Overall, my husband and I were happy with the hotel and its facilities. The room was clean and breakfast was nice. It was in a good location in that it was less than 20 minutes to talk to the major attractions. However, we did encounter a bit of poor customer service from the bartender. As we had been out in the countryside for a few days, we had brought […] a bottle of wine with us to enjoy during our stay in Florence. We had asked the front desk for glasses as well as a bottle opener which they said they were unable to help us with because their opener had broken and told us to speak with Edza behind the bar. Not only did he refuse to give us glasses and an opener since we did not purchase the bottle from him, he refused to open the bottle for us and was incredibly rude and demeaning.

"nice hotel if you want a long walk to Duomo"
We were disappointed in two things: 1, for a 4-star hotel, internet should have been free. The hotel has a rather complicated rate system for time you wish to use the internet as well. Mostly, the description of the walk from the Hotel to the Duomo is just wrong. It took us at a moderate pace of walking 30 minutes to move through buses, bikes, motorcycles, […] pedestrians, people waiting for the bus, and narrow sidewalks. Even when we tried it briskly, we improved our speed by 5 minutesl For handicapped people or those who just don't want to pay the expense of a cab to go back and forth, this location is problemmatic Had we known that it was NOT 15 minutes from the Duomo, we would not have stayed there. We were disappointed that often the person at the desk did not know what we were talking about or didn't speak English, even when we used the word "toilette", we had to wait for an English-speaking customer service representative. This was kind of surprising. For suggestions about places, etc., the hotel staff left us confused at times. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Hotel in Florence away from main attractions"
I cannot recommend this hotel only for its location. We were led to believe that it was only about a ten minute walk from downtown, and it is actually about 20 to 25 minutes. When walking back at night, you pass through a couple of neighborhoods that are not nice at all. There were at least 50 people sleeping on the street 50 yards away from the hotel, […] which was actually scary. Besides that, the hotel is fairly priced, the room was big and the bathroom enormous for European standards. Evrything else was nice, but if you are a tourist you are far away from evrything További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Reasonable Rates"
Stayed here in 2006, decided to stay again May 2013. Rates are very reasonable compared to other Florence hotels but location is a little further. The room itself seemed a bit worn compared to our last stay. Bathroom was fine. I think it was newly renovated last time we were there. Old non-flat screen TV, not that we cared but others might. We had to […] ask for slippers and robes. They were out of robes but brought us slippers right away. These are minor details but do make one's stay a little more comfortable after touring/walking all day. I would certainly staff again. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

I had trouble with everything. Parking was an issue. Parking is in nearby parking lot. The card provided by the hotel did not work. AC in the room didn't work. Breakfast was bad.Valódi Expedia visszajelzések
"Modern, Striking distance to all the sights"
Hotel is located close to the train terminal, it's a bit of a drive in traffic from the airport. It's also about 15-20 minute leisurely walk from the Duomo and all the sights, which is pretty decent. Rooms are modern, large and with excellent amenities. This is an excellent choice if you want to be close to the sights, but not right next to them to […] stay away from the crowds. Although the hotel is close to the train station, budget atleast 30 minutes to get there due to the traffic situation in Florence. További részletekValódi Expedia visszajelzések

I'm updating my resume for consulting positions. The projects I've done are going on my resume ... par for the course.
The dilemma is if I should put my little consulting company on it.
My first reaction is "no, of course not", it's all about the projects I did through my company. However, I did have a subcontractor working for me for a year, and an employee for 6 months which I recruited, interviewed, and hired. I feel that this is valid management experience which doesn't really fit anywhere else.
But I still feel kind of weird about it. What do you think? Does that belong in my work history or not?
BTW-I did see questions Using your startup on your resume while job-hunting? & Should I put my "startup" experience on my resume? but feel that this is a little different.

Former Los Alamos police officer Brian Schamber and Los Alamos County have settled for $600,000 in an agreement that was released Wednesday afternoon.
"It's a very appropriate way to resolve the claim," Schamber's attorney John Day said. "Brian can start a new life. There are a lot of extremely smart people in Los Alamos and there are people in the county and police department that made stupid decisions in this case."
Day said Schamber will resign his post at LAPD. And Day said that Schamber and his family will move away from Los Alamos to an undisclosed location and begin his new career outside of law enforcement.

BEWARE OF THIS PLACE: We had booked a triple room (ensuite), but we only got two beds; one regular and one double bed (with shared duvet and sheets). We had to argue with one of the employees before he would give us another duvet so one of us at least could sleep on the floor. No room cleaning, no change of sheets, microscopical bathroom and a shower with almost no water pressure. The last night our room was infested with cockroaches because they never emptied our trashcans or cleaned the room.

For the price the location is briliant but the room is very small with a shower/toilet unit squeezed into the corner. thankfully me and my partner aren't over weight as would have struggled to get in it. Was good that they would keep luggage for only a pound to save putting it into the station for our late departure. Ok for a place to sleep for a night but dont expect much for money...is location what your paying for

I have booked this hotel due to its location, which is nice. I had expectations that the bedroom would be clean and with a nice bathroom... But what I really got was a dirty bedroom with a very small bathroom (almost as tiny as an airplane bathroom). My friend did not fit the bathroom once the toilet is almost below the shower, and he could not close the door while seated at the toilet... There is no common area. The staff is friendly, but always overloaded. Internet works. Will never return.

Here's an interesting story I found today. It's short, but I'm sure it won't end just like that and there'll be a lot more to discuss later. Source: Reuters
Yeah, I was thinking that cuz I remember reading about how AMD has to pay royalties for that or something.
Intel wants to destroy amd and here is your proof given the fact that amd can create a new factory in new york state says something http://www.fudzilla.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9853&Itemid=1 here is that license intel talks about i think http://contracts.corporate.findlaw.com/agreements/amd/intel.license.2001.01.01.html btw: i like competition and wants AMD, no AMD=No freaking fast CPU no AMD Athlon 64 = no Core 1/2 and Nehalem;P
I don't really see the problem as long as there is only one chip design company. Via makes x86 CPUs, and does so under the same license, however it outsources its fab work also - basically I think Intel fear that AMD will become a dual-house chip design company, which is highly unlikely given the economic fortunes of AMD of late.
Heard of a monopoly? If intel has their way basically we'll be using CPUs which perform the same for the next century or something.
Yeah me too... prolly x86 since the lawyer said the license and not a license. How long does this F*$&% patent last? I thought you could only get protection for 15 - 20 years... and the first x86 came out in 1978. WTF? Its seriously time for uncle sam to step in and open up the market.
It's about the cross-licensing agreement between Intel and AMD, which includes the x86 license. A financial analyst guesses Intel will use this to make AMD drop the antitrust suits:
yeh i expect something but not from intel , when amd begin make company in abu dubi , money is talking
the only cpu's that aren't intel monopolized are ibm powerpc/cell processors and sun sparc. all via and amd processors have to be licensed from intel to use the x86 instructions thats required by windows/linux/mac, etc. if intel wanted, they could not renew the license, and cause either company to have to drop all of their x86 cpus or have huge law suits.
I hate to break it to you, but gaining monopoly status is what every business wants, including AMD. There isn't a company in existance today that doesn't want all its competition eliminated. I think you should look up what a monopoly is, Intel isn't a Monopoly. Also, Intel can't just up and decide to not renew the x86 licence, it doesn't work like that. AMD has the licence until they violate part of it, making it void, Intel doesn't have the power to stop it. And Intel has got some pretty good things via that licence also, the x64 instruction set being one of them.
The problem that I see isn't just Intel flexing their muscle, it's the fact that AMD hasn't been able to get away from using these licensing agreements with Intel. Does AMD plan on being tied with Intel forever or do they actually have some real R&D going to change their place in the industry?
LOL, I love the technical jargon mixed with legal jargon I wonder what they censored out of those, sh*t , fsh*t And nowhere he mentions that it shall be the Central Processing Unit again he censored his language
Coming up with a non x86 compatible architecture has serious take up problems with both consumers and developers, backwards compatibility... The design would have to be so fast it could run old x86/x64 code in software emulation mode and still compete with Intel's offering, in its native mode it would have to be significantly faster to even get developers to consider coding specifically for the new architecture, if they were to get IBM involved then they may stand more of a chance to break away from the x86 architecture. AMD should start developing and introducing next generation architecture, before Intel does and makes theirs the industry standard, you can't compete forever with the ageing x86 architecture when your rival takes a cut of every chip you sell.
Youre right... and you just hit the nail on the head... its the "industry standard" and has been for almost the last 20 years, no developers are going to switch. How is a patent that is the "industry standard" allowed to be renewed? The whole point of patents expiring is to keep this fom happening no?
Nobody was saying that about AMD -- the poster was stating that consumers don't want Intel to be a monopoly. I'm sure would agree with this. Monopoly: exclusive control of a commodity or service in a particular market, or a control that makes possible the manipulation of prices. [source] You wouldn't say that Intel has the ability to manipulate the prices of CPU's in the market?
I think I have to agree with the one news poster about Intel using this as leverage against AMD in their Antitrust lawsuit. Seems like a smart play by Intel.
Intel just determined to somehow kill AMD. Nothing AMD has patented (Other than How to Loose a Company after having a succesful product)? Bastards.
AMD's Fusion core is what Intel is probably worried about, we all know GPUs totaly annihilate any CPU in terms of parallel processing, a hybrid is deadly with Intel having nothing coming even remotely close to compete against.
So if i understand you correctly Intel gives AMD the x86 license and AMD gives Intel the x64 license, right? If thats the case cant AMD just use only their x64 license and not use x86 if Intel takes it away from them? Or am i missing something here?

| Re: Which is your Favorite/Best? My list of "best" correlates perfectly with my list of "favourite": 1: Prisoner of Azkaban - This one was perfect, with wonderful harmony between the safe world of Hogwarts and the dangers of the outside. In no book the "Hogwarts" feeling is stronger, it feels such a tight-knit, warm little community. The books take a mature turn here. And, perhaps most of all, so many of the characters introduced showed potential: Sirius, Lupin, Peter, Buckbeak, Cho, Cedric. 2: Goblet of Fire - Maintains the "Hogwarts" feeling, but a tendency that was to mar later books started here: The trite antagonism of minor characters against Harry. Still, a very good book, bringing along a whole new dimension of complexity with Crouch senior and junior. 3: Deathly Hallows - Might have been rated second, but with Hogwarts being largely absent, this does not hold the same wonder and comfort as #3 and #4. Still, loads and loads of memorable scenes. 4: The Philosopher's Stone - This book introduced the universe with a bang. The Hagrid sequence on the little island - isn't it every child's dream, to discover he/she's someone completely else than initially thought? Of course, there's a very strong "Hogwarts" feeling, but seen in hindsight, the book is far less exciting than those that were to come. 5: The Order of the Phoenix - The "Hogwarts" feeling was rapidly diminishing, but the large character gallery, and the death and its emotional aftermath makes this a book I like rather than dislike. Nevertheless, the anti-Harry antagonism is stronger here, and I was very disappointed to see that Cho Chang was such a shallow character after all. This book is where the problems of HP characterization get visible: Anyone outside of Harry's closest bunch of associates is by default stupid, unsympatethic and potentially evil. 6: Chamber of Secrets - This book just felt generally childish. Dobby is a memorable character, but his introduction was just stupid. Likewise Gilderoy Lockheart, a character introduced who then disappears without ever influencing the plot at all. Also, this book for me established the notion of Ginny as a primarily annoying character, which made that part of HPB uninteresting. 7: Half-Blood Prince - No Hogwarts feeling whatsoever, but lots of anti-Harry antagonism. I found nothing enjoyable in this book, and many of the characters were unrecognizable as the ones I had got to learn earlier in the series. Especially the one who died - I was just glad to see it happen. |

| Re: Which is your Favorite/Best? My favourites are as follows: Goblet of Fire It was the first I read - purely coz it was the most recent, and largest, at Tesco's! However, I loved the was the teenaged emotions were written. The swings between loyalty, antagonism, love, hate, etc were as I remembered my teens. The battle between Harry and Voldy (so much better than the film!) was wonderfully epic. Once I'd read the ohter books, I also appreciated Hermione getting some romantic action - she's not just a brain! Azkaban The back story made this one for me; the relatinship between Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs explained a lot. Also the Last bit with Harry, Sirius and the Dementors, then going back with the timeturner was wonderful. OOTP Umbridge vs the Weasley Twins. Nuff said! Dallows All the loose ends tied up. A little too neatly for my liking, but it's over. I feel cleansed! Philosopher's Stone Reading this is a bit like getting in touch with an old mate on Friends Reunited. 'Do you remember when?' I love Prof Quirrell. Chamber of Secrets Moaning Myrtle is a legend. Again, I like the backstory about Hagrid's expulsion. Not at all keen on the spiders - even in print it's a bit too much! Half Blood Prince Didn't tick many boxes for me. Was getting fed up with Harry's hormonal strops, didn't like the lake scene, the end was too abrupt and seemed to come out of left field. |

| Re: Which is your Favorite/Best? My Favorites: -The Order of the Phoenix. I like it just because the reader starts to discover what kind of people are working in the Ministry of Magic. Fudge is no longer this caring little Wizard...instead, he's completely paranoid and neurotic. I also really liked the character of Umbridge and her evil tendencies toward Harry and some of the other students. I also like it because we see some rebellion and for me, Hermione finally became a character unto herself in this one. And reading her line about Ron having the "emotional range of a teaspoon" sent me into a giggle fit. -The Deathly Hallows. My main reason for liking this one so much is that Snape is finally revealed to be good and Dumbledore, finally, doesn't look like the sparkling old man that everyone thought he was. I liked the message in that and I also just enjoyed watching Harry finally live up to what everyone thought he was going to be. And Ron finally became a bit more than comedy relief, which was good to see. And Narcissa Malfoy lying to save Harry was one of the greatest parts in all of the books for me. -The Prisoner of Azkaban. I think Lupin was at his best in this one, hands down. Just reading the part where he condones Harry for risking his mother's sacrifice just for a few treats was good and I also liked the relationship between him and Sirius that was shown in the Shrieking Shack. -The Goblet of Fire. I thought there were quite a few funny scenes in this one. I also think this was a strong one on emotions that hadn't been seen before...from the capture of the Muggles by the Death Eaters (at the Quidditch Cup), and from Cedric's death. It gets rated lower for me because, other than Mad Eye, the characters just didn't stand out too much and I thought the fight between Harry and Ron went on much too long. Moaning Myrtle, however...quite lovely. -The Sorcerer's Stone. It's great to revisit it and read Harry's transition to becoming a wizard, but there wasn't loads of emotion or characterization for me. -Chamber of Secrets. Other than Dobby beating the crap out of himself all over the place, there wasn't much else in this one for me. It just seemed like filler, though I did like the scene where Malfoy and Harry duel and it's discovered that he can talk to snakes. -The Half-Blood Prince. First off, I found it hard to believe that it took Hermione THAT long to find the connection between the name "Prince" and Snape. I didn't care for Slughorn very much either and the entire hormonal thing made me feel like I was reading a teenager's advice magazine at certain points. The emotion was high...as were the dramatics. |

| Re: Which is your Favorite/Best? 1) Prisoner of Azkaban 2) Deathly Hallows 3) Philosopher's Stone 4) Goblet of the Fire 5) Order of the Phoenix 6) Half-Blood Prince 7) Chamber of Secrets Chamber of Secrets and Philosopher's Stone are the most childish of them, but Philosopher's Stone is a great introduction to the HP universe while Chamber has the least interesting plot. PoA is a favorite because it's darker than the first two but doesn't drag like the last 4 sometimes do. I was very surprized with the Sirius twist and liked the whole Marauders story Half-Blood Prince has too much in way of hormones and "snogging" and OotP as the longest book definitely drags the most although I does have Sirius, for the last time Deathly Hallows is the finale and I think she resolved all the plot lines very neatly. Unfortunately, I missed Hogwarts with Quidditch and other activities so it's not the top favorite for me. Finally GOB was a very good read, but nothing about it stands out enough to move it higher on the list. That said, I enjoy them all and view as one great story |

text: 19 February 2010 archive Tweet See all show photos THREE shows in and after the fully packed opening show from Paul Costelloe, it was time to escape (yes, already), to the serene surrounds of The Waldorf and its Palm Court. Ordinarily the spot for some high tea, today it was the spot for Maria Grachvogel's autumn/winter 2010-11 show, which commenced to the sound of rain falling (before a full on thunderstorm took over), and Erin O'Connor and Yasmin Le Bon in the front row. The "rain" went someway in contributing to the hair, which was in that just-wet stage and slightly wavy to go with the wild and stormy prints that later appeared on silk dresses. But before we got to those, Grachvogel's girl was dressed in black and white – shirts and wide-leg trousers, short cloaks that just perched in length on the shoulders – grass green, a burst of cerise and acid yellow. Waists were generally shown off by button-fronted gowns with a Seventies vibe (as was the case with shirts), or pleated-top trousers, while shoes seemed to have been sprinkled in jet black hundreds and thousands. The dress towards the end with its back cut-out and framed by ruffles was the one we had our eye on. SEE THE MARIA GRACHVOGEL SHOW ARCHIVE Jessica Bumpus Continue reading Back to top

Hawg Jaw
Don't Trust Nobody
What better way to celebrate the victorious, official re-opening of New Orleans, than by choking down some dirty, sludgy sloppy N'Awlins metal from a member of Eyehategod...
Formed by Eyehategod's Gary Meder in 1996 and with two obscure prior albums under their belt, Hawg Jaw seems to be 'the other' sludgy, discordant band from New Orleans and while a little less grating and more tangibly Southern than Eyehategod or even Soilent Green, Hawg Jaw's lazy, swampy, form of feedback laden, raucous sludge rock is just as competent.
With a mouthful of chew and whiskey, Mike Dares hoarsely shouts and rants like a defiant pissed off New Orleans resident shooting at looters in his yard while Meder's salty guitars lope and sway with a hazy, palpable scent of sewage, sweat and vitriol. The mid paced, staggering gait of the material is pretty consistent throughout the 13 tracks with a few forays into slower, even stodgier territory ("Worse Case", "Baitin' the traps", "Amongst the Vultures") here and there and a few punky bursts of drunken energy ("Stranger in the Window", "Torn Apart", "Derailed", "Devein", "I Take That Back").
The thing is, despite its gritty, muggy tones, Don't Trust Nobody is hugely disposable and forgettable once the last squealing, reverb filled riff ends. Despite my affinity for everything New Orleans, like eating at the ass blasting restaurant that is Mothers, there's no reason to give it another go after one visit.

A rare chance to see Floater on their home turf Friday evening at the Rose Festival's Waterfront Main Stage.The below interview/piece is from an earlier visit in July. Very fun interview, so I am re-posting. Robert will be doing a gig at The Star Theatre 10/28. And on December 3 at Dante's, Robert is a guest vocalist for a bluegrass version of Pink Floyd's Wall!!
Floater has been through the BING Lounge (you can catch the archived session HERE). So I was pleasantly surprised to discover there's a solo Robert Wynia floating out there as well. Robert recently spent some time at our studios. We sat down to chat about the creative process, what makes good songs and how they come together. Plus, BONUS! Robert threw down a couple of songs for me as well. LISTEN BELOW

Trustee Period
Royal Period
Revolutionary Period
Governors of Georgia Statehood
The term of office of the Governor is defined in each of the ten State Constitutions as
follows: 1777 (Article XXIII): one year term; could not succeed himself *Because of conflicting statements in various sources, there are many uncertainties and ambiguities concerning party labels and it is difficult to verify true political party affiliations. There are no party designations 1783 - 1788. **Served more than one term, but not in succession. ***Eugene Talmadge was elected governor but died on December 21, 1946, before taking office. The Legislature elected his son, Herman E. Talmadge, to serve his unexpired term. He served 67 days but vacated office when the State Supreme Court ruled that the Constitutional provision under which he was elected was not applicable in that instance and Ellis Arnall's term continued until the next election. When Melvin E. Thompson was sworn in as Lieutenant Governor, Arnall resigned and Thompson served as Acting Governor until the next General Election. Herman Talmadge defeated M. E. Thompson in the September 1948 Primary Election and was elected in the General Election, November 2, 1948, to complete the unexpired term of his father.

The Melting Pot - Arlington VA
Online Reservations
Friends and I visited the restaurant the evening of August 24 to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. We were seated right on time, and our waitress appeared very soon afterward to provide menus and take drink orders. Her service was prompt and generally courteous, helping 3 of the group understand the fondue concept. Some tension developed when a member of our group asked if MSG was used in the broth. This resulted in an almost declaration that there was absolutely no MSG in any menu item and an itemization of what contained gluten and what didn't. The food was delicious and the value we received for 3-1/2 hours of fun was quite high. I recommend the restaurant as a fun place to celebrate an occasion or enjoy a different dining experience.
Jeff is a marvelous server who pays attention to detail. I very much enjoyed his service and I hope to have him again next time I go visit the restaurant.
A friend and I went there on a Saturday at 1pm for restaurant week. We had reservations and were seated right away. We had five choices of a cheese fondue (we chose spinach artichoke) which came with fruit, vegetables, bread and crackers for dipping - this was delicious. We had the California Salad which was good. The entrée broth we chose was Coq Au Vin Burgundy wine and it was delicious with the beef, chicken and shrimp. Our favorite was the cheese fondue. We were too full for dessert. Parking here was quite confusing! They have underground parking in the building and the directions were very confusing to park near the restaurants elevator. You need to bring you parking stub to be validated for $2 off and the cost to park is then $4.
Going to the melting pot is an experience in its self from having to prepare the food yourself to the overly delicious desert and the friendly wait staff would definitely come back
Had a wonderful first experience here. Everyone was very gracious and hospitable. Our server Bimal was on point and the manager on duty Jonathan was great. Thank guys for a great experience. I will definitely recommend you guys to my friends, family and coworkers.
This is our second Melting Pot, and while we miss the one in Nashville, the one in Arlington is actually much better suited to a romantic dinner. Lots of little booth nooks, most with a window nearby, and a reasonably attentive staff make for an intimate experience.
This was our first time at the melting pot and the entire experience was worth our time and money! We will tell our friends and be back to dine again! We give this place 2 thumbs up!!
Had a date with the girlfriend and this place was fantastic. You can fill up on just fondue and dessert, no real need for an entree. The cheese fondue is nice, but the real experience comes from the dessert which is rich and delicious.
I had a wonderful time here. We used this evening as a girls night, but it would also be good for a romantic evening. You have to have time to really enjoy. This is not a "in and out" dinner place. Great service at the Arlington location! I loved the seafood trio with the curry sauce. While the price seems high, you definitely leave full, so it is TOTALLY worth it. I can't wait to go back. Our waiter was so friendly and attentive. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to friends. DEFINITELY coming back!
We love to go to the melting pot for special occasions. The food was just as good as ever. Our server was very friendly and knowledgable about the menu. Great experience. We will be back soon.
We went to the melting pot for my husband's Birthday and it was absolutely perfect. The food was delicious, ambiance was incredible and service was second-to-none. They even placed us in a private area and there was a Birthday card signed by all of the staff. The manager was incredible and offered us drinks on the house while we waited for the table to be cleared. We're both gluten-free and were impressed by their extensive gluten-free selection-even bread, brownies, and cake for dipping. We usually have to miss out on anything involving bread or cakes, so that was a pleasant surprise. They really went above-and-beyond and we are excited to return for another dinner or happy hour soon.
I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and she loved it. When we arrived at the table she cried once she saw the bear, chocolate, roses and balloons.
Two friends and I come here often for the Girls' Night Out, and we always enjoy it. The food is delicious, the portions are reasonable, the price is a good value, and the ambiance is fun and relaxing. Yessi was our server, and they remembered our special requests from the last time we visited. What a treat!
We craved fondue for some time and we found our spot! Good cheese fondue and wine selection. The ambiance is very cozy and the service is efficient. The fondue itself is almost as good as a Swiss one. At the end we couldn't resist the chocolate one and it comes with a good combination of fruits and goodies to dip.
Our waiter was really not attentive and hard to find at times. Not the best service, especially since you're cooking and dipping things yourself. Also they have revamped the menu- decent tasting food but smaller portions for more money. Not the best for a fairly pricey place to begin with. The cheese appetizer was still good and the chocolate is awesome!
I took my lady here for her birthday and it was impressive. From the moment we entered to the time we left, the atmosphere was quiet, calm, and relaxing. It was a very intimate setting and had low light for the mood. I requested a teddy bear, box of chocolates, a picture, and a Happy B day balloon and like magic it was all set up at the table before we were seated. The food was great but one portion is enough fora couple share. No need for each person to buy their own main course entre.
The Melting Pot is always an excellent place to spend an evening with your spouse or significant other. Excellent food, service, and atmosphere.
It was my daughter's birthday dinner. She and her friends had a good time. Thanks to the Melting Pot, they took care of them very well!
I had only been to the melting pot once before so I just had to go back! I took my husband and it was his first time experiencing the amazing food. He loved it, thought it was strange and different how you cook your own food, but he like the romantic feel to the restaurant. Our server was great, very personable; however, we waited a while for our check. Overall, we had a great time and the food and service was great!
Delicious food, EXCELLENT management, friendly service and a private, romantic ambiance. I was impressed with the mahi mahi - tasted fresh& great with the teriyaki sauce (and it's SO hard to find fresh fish around here!). This was my first fondue experience and I will certainly be going back! (when I can afford it....definitely a special occasion kind of place)
This was my second time dining at the Melting Pot, and after an outstanding initial visit I was afraid that the next time I went I would be disappointed. NOT THE CASE! I went on a Monday evening with one of my best girl friends who had never been and we thoroughly enjoyed our experience from start to finish My only sour spot of the evening was that it was very loud for a Monday night and it was hardly busy. I felt like I was apart of everyone else's conversation because I could hear them.
First time at the Melting Pot for me, while my date had been several times in other locations. Really enjoyed the interactive way the meal is put together and the food itself was fantastic. The quattro formaggio fondue was excellent as were our salted caramel mochatinis. Salads were OK although I wish mine had more bacon. The entrees to cook were excellent. I preferred the gorgonzola and curry sauces while my date really enjoyed the teriyaki and green goddess. The chocolate fondue was excellent also with the Rice Krispies, bananas, strawberry, and other treats. Our waitress was attentive, knowledgeable, and pleasant. The only down side was the hostess who did not say hello to us. But the manager comped us drinks to make up for it.
We had a great time as a family , enjoyed the leisurely pace of the courses.. Chocolate fondue at the conclusion of the meal was terrific
The 4 course meal was a wonderful treat for a 12 year old boy's birthday. It was his first time eating multiple courses and he was thrilled. He fully enjoyed cooking the food at the table, and was actively engaged. The menu selection was great as there weren't too many items for him to get confused. It was a birthday celebration, and I was disappointed that the restaurant does not do anything "special" for the birthday guest, especially a child.
Great all around experience, our service was spectacular, the food is always great and another visit is always greatly anticipated
This restaurant is never a disappointment. The food is always delicious and even though the portions seem small, the meal is fairly filling even for those with large appetites. They also offer free refills on items like bread, vegetables, and some dessert items. The service is outstanding as well. Each waiter is like a sous chef since they prepare most of your meal themselves. Every time I've gone a manager has stopped by to make sure everything was satisfactory. They also offer rewards for frequent customers. This year was my third time going for my birthday so they offered us a free champagne toast with dessert. This restaurant offers an outstanding experience. If only I could afford to go more often.
Delicious food, friendly/knowledgable staff, and a quiet/private environment make Melting Pot a great place to spend with a friend or loved one. The whole experience takes about 2 hours and every minute is a joy.
My wife and I have always enjoyed our trips to The Melting Pot. The food experience here is fun and always tasty. Our server was prompt and attentive. We had a wonderful time and look forward to our return.
This is a wonderful place to eat. A bit expensive, but well worth the experience. Servers know the menu and are very good at making recommendations. Food is fresh and good helpings. You get to cook at your table and it is such a difference experience.
This was a great experience for a group of team members who won a contest from me. We had to compromise on certain things during the meal. The experience helps to build a great bonding experience. The girls certainly enjoyed it and the food was amazing.
We often go to the Melting Pot for a special occasion. This was no different. It my husband's birthday. We had a great evening together. The server was very attentive and the food excellent.
The meal was great but after 2 hours we were just making it to the dessert portion. I thought that we were eating at a moderate pace but time was rolling. Great food and service, but plan for 2.5 - 3 hours if you want to eat and conversate casually.
As always, this place was great. Good food and good ambiance.
We loved our server! The cocktails where superb. They have a great martini/speciality drinks. The fondue (cheese, chocolate, and classic) were super tasty as always! Great for date night or girl's night.
Melting Pot always has good food, a nice atmosphere and good service. It is my favorite place to go for a relaxing dinner with my husband. The courses are well paced and fondue is fun.
Melting Pot is a national chain but offers consistent quality in food, service, and setting. No major complaints and their deals are always a great find
We love dining at the Melting Pot, as we love the fondue experience. This particular trip was made all the more amazing by the excellence service from Rob, our waiter.
service was terrific. balloon and roses were already at table. wait staff was competent and food was excellent. very enjoyable evening
This as a great place to stop relax, unwind and have a nice romantic dinner, we were pleasantly greeted by the two hostesses when we arrived for our reservation. We were seated and promptly addressed by are server. She was great explained everything to us and helped us on our way with this dining experience. Drinks, cheese, salad, cooking style "Mojo" and the entrée followed by the chocolate Flaming turtle "milk chocolate, caramel, pecans flambéed" Does not get much better than that. Except for maybe the Yin and Yang drink. Try it you will love it. If you want a nice long romantic night with someone you love or if you just want to have a great night out with friends call them and make a reservation. The Management team made our night.
Had never been before, but had a Living Social/Amazon Local voucher to use so we gave it a try. Made a reservation, went early and had no issues. Second time around we wouldn't take the "corner" seat that is "a bit smaller" because we ended up with too many plates for the table. We left full and happy.
Always a relaxing, enjoyable time. Perfect with a friend or lover because there is much time to talk and catch up.
Ordered cheese and chocolate fondue. Both were great. The Melting Pot is a bit pricey but still delicious.
The only bad thing about this place is that you want to try everything. We had a really good waitress who explained everything and kept checking that were happy with everything
Good food in a romantic setting, on the expensive side
We went to the Melting Pot Arlington for girls night out. We had a blast. The seating lends its self to being able to have lots of conversation and th eating style means you can hang out for a long time with out feeling like the wait staff is waiting for you to leave. Also the large selection of food items will fit any taste and they are very willing to switch stuff out ;)
The Melting Pot is one of our favorite restaurants. We always enjoy it.
Amazing service and delicious food! The bacon cheddar cheese and creme brûlée were delicious!!!!!!!!!
Not sure why the waiter thought it was our anniversary. He said something about they need to annotate something about the customers in the system. Melting Pot is super pricey considering you're basically cooking your own food. I wasn't blown away by the taste of the food either. Dessert was awesome, though.
When I made our reservation a I noted it was our Wedding Day and that we'd like a secluded table if possible. When we arrived we were shown to exactly that. The table was decorated with red rose petals, our waiter Rob had served us before and was again wonderful. They took our picture and gave us a copy and management came out to wish is well ad give us a $25 voucher off a future dinning experience. We had a drink after dinner waiting for a taxi at the bar and the bartender great too. It was a perfect night. .
The Melting Pot has become a "special occasion" favorite for us. As we generally live outside the US, it is a lovely opportunity to come back to the states, know that there is a fabulously quiet restaurant that we can go to & not worry about our food quality or service. My favorite option is the two person private room with the curtain... for whatever reasons there may be to enjoy that privacy. There is enough selection available at the Melting Pot to satisfy everyone in your group & the waitstaff has always been very knowledgeable about the wine pairings & specials that are on for the evening. We have never had a poor experience with Melting Pot & for that reason alone, we will continue to make it our number one destination for date night.

Nottingham Forest's interest in the French winger first surfaced over the summer, and has continued to simmer since the close of the transfer window.
With Football League clubs still able to discuss loan deals, the Reds have refused to concede defeat in their efforts to bring Sako on board.
Wolves are, however, reluctant to do business.
Chief executive Jez Moxey has conceded that Sako has been left "unsettled" by the ongoing transfer talk, but has rubbished reports suggesting he has gone on strike in an effort to engineer an exit.
Jackett has now backed up those comments, with the manager at Molineux making it clear that Sako remains very much part of a squad looking to piece together a League One promotion push.
He told Sky Sports News: "There has been no agreement between the clubs - between Wolves and Nottingham Forest - although Forest have been strongly interested for the last few weeks in particular.
"No agreement has been reached and Sako is a Wolves player. He's looking forward to our next batch of games."
Asked if Sako is still in his thoughts, with the games coming thick and fast for Wolves at present, Jackett added: "Yes, he is.
"He's been a good player for us this season. He's scored five goals already, which is a good return. I've been very pleased with both his attitude and his quality."
The former Millwall manager told the Wolves website that the Frenchman had been sufffering from illness and said: "Maybe it's stress related, I don't know but he had been ill in the run up to to the weekend. He came in yesterday when we did a warm down and I talked to him at length.
"He's slightly still under the weather but I anticipate him being 100 per cent in a day or so. We're talking about a lad who is first class and a very good player.
"Talks of strikes or downing tools are very much wide of the mark and I have always found Sako to be a very good professional.
"I don't think I'm going to select him tomorrow night (Johnstone's Paints) - I think I'm going to go with a different combination and some younger players."
Well the lad joined Wolves to play in the Premier league and now you're down in league 1, I'd say the real crime here is that you won't let a player (that is clearly a better quality than your current squad) leave to play with a team looking for promotion (to the Premier league). You decide who's really at fault?- b.martin

Cruise the aisles of any smartphone vendor and rarely will there be a device with a physical QWERTY keyboard. Even BlackBerry has just as many touchscreen BB10 devices as it does phones with a keyboard. If you love keyboards and Android, an LG Optimus F3Q may be in the cards. Read More »
