President Barack Obama claimed ISIS was losing strength and was "contained" a day before the Paris attacks.
"I don't think they're gaining strength," he told ABC's George Stephanopolous on Thursday, which aired Friday on Good Morning America. "What is true is that from the start, our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them."
The president also said that despite not eradicating ISIS's top commanders, the U.S. was making "some progress."
"…We've made some progress in trying to reduce the flow of foreign fighters, and part of our goal has to be to recruit more effective Sunni partners in Iraq to really go on offense rather than simply engage in defense."
But a terror suspect arrested in Paris during the attacks claimed he was from the Islamic State and ISIS later praised the attacks on Twitter.
"O crusaders we are coming to you with bombs and rifles, wait for us," an allegedly "contained" ISIS militant tweeted.
O crusaders we are coming to you
With bombs and rifles
Wait for us

Prince Harry will not be deployed to Iraq due to concern about the number of "specific threats" made against his life, the head of the British Army announced this afternoon.
The 22-year-old prince, who is third in line to the throne, had been due to fly out to join the rest of his Blues and Royals squadron in the south of the country.
But his deployment has now been cancelled, although the Ministry of Defence has not ruled out sending him to the region in the future.
Sir Richard Dannatt, the head of the British Army, said in a statement that the risk to the prince and his men was "unacceptable".
"There have been a number of specific threats – some reported and some not reported - which relate directly to Prince Harry as an individual," he said.
"These threats expose not only him but also those around him to a degree of risk that I now deem unacceptable."
"I have to add that a contributing factor to this increase in threat to Prince Harry has been the widespread knowledge and discussion of his deployment," he added.
Prince Harry is "very disappointed" by the news but will not quit the army, Clarence House said today. He had previously said that he would consider leaving the forces if he were not allowed to command his men in combat.
"He fully understands and accepts General Dannatt's difficult decision and remains committed to his Army career. Prince Harry's thoughts are with his troop and the rest of the battle group in Iraq," Clarence House said.
A Downing Street spokesman said it was a military decision "which we of course respect".
Last month a Shia militia commander, Abu Mujtaba, said his Mahdi army unit aimed to capture the prince. He claimed he had informants inside British bases that would leak information about the royal soldier's whereabouts.
Gen Dannatt said earlier this month that the prince would be sent to Iraq despite concerns for his safety, but that the decision would be kept under review. He changed his mind following a visit to the country last week.
Prince Harry, or Cornet Wales as he is known to his regiment, is a second lieutenant in the British army and trained tank commander.
He would have become the first royal to serve in a war zone since his uncle, Prince Andrew, flew as a helicopter pilot in the Falklands conflict with Argentina in 1982.

These are the stories of a gardener and her adventures in and sometimes out of her eclectic and eccentric garden in a suburb of Houston, Texas.

Through the Garden Gate: #8
I spent several hours this morning cutting back Echinaceas and pulling weeds out back. Much to my delight, the hybrid Texas Bluebells (Eustoma grandiflorum/Lisianthus) are blooming prolifically. Only one problem: you can't see the blooms too well because the plants are so floppy. I'll have to do something about that later this week: I was interrupted in my gardening efforts today by the latest round of storms. Saturday night it was the lightning that was awesome ... today it was the thunder, rumbling long and low over and over again. Since Annie the Garden Terrierist is unnerved by even the least little bit of thunder, I kept her company during the worst of it ... we decided the best place to do that was on the bed, where we could cuddle up and try to nap. I don't know about Annie but I did manage to doze off for a while.
As for the view through the garden gate, I ran out just as the sun was setting to capture this shot. I'd have taken the time to get a better picture if I weren't afraid of dropping the camera every time I slapped a mosquito!

I love your view though the garden gate. How lush and lovely everything looks. The mailbox looks great in the midst of the garden. The skeeters are very bad here too--it makes early morning gardening expeditions unbearable.

I haven't competed in a cage or otherwise in years. Still familiar, though, are the thoughts and viewpoints that would go through my mind before having to compete.
Feelings of readiness, angst, anger, fear, and confidence would all flash through my brain as quickly as a boxer can throw a jab. Would I win? Would I lose? The mind is powerful, more powerful even than anything the body can do. Some fighters can harness the power of their minds, others struggle and in turn let it slowly bleed a career. If I was able control my thoughts and feelings, I was always met with success. When I couldn't harness them, and let what was happening in my personal life seep into the ring, I almost always lost.
Everyone handles emotions differently. Some wear them on their sleeve for all to see while others keep them bottled up. For a fighter, neither approach is wrong as long as control is taken. People almost always project what they are truly feeling one way or another, even if their words or body language are telling a different story.
I've seen fighters exclaim that they are unstoppable, but something about the way they handle themselves tells me the truth. They are scared, unconfident, speaking in hopes to inspire themselves and not just the audience they are trying to reach.
I've also seen the opposite happen. A fighter can stand there robotic-like, taking insults and criticisms from an opponent while still looking calm and collected. On the inside the inner monologue is screaming, "don't let this get to you, you're prepared, you've trained for this, all this guy has is words to spar with." While all these thoughts may indeed be true, the reality is that if you're having to tell yourself this then the battle has already been won in your opponent's favor.
All disciplines of combat sports are difficult. It takes a special person to stand up to another and be willing to take punches, kicks and the pain that comes with those. Some would say those people are crazy while others would label them as brave. I think it's a mix of both. You do have to be a little crazy to get in a ring with someone else, but it takes more heart than most people can muster to bravely fight someone and not back down from the challenge.
What goes through their heads during all of this? The best answer to that question is this: probably close to nothing.
Hours are spent in the gym preparing for fights. Plenty of conditioning, drills, and sparring fill the schedule of most fighters. One single punch or submission is drilled over and over again hoping to be applied in the perfect moment of a bout. The body is being turned into a fine tuned machine and muscle memory is being developed.
In my day job I run a CNC machine for a manufacturing company. My machine makes precise moves at perfect speeds in order to cut through material the most efficient way. It moves smoothly in a precise rhythm, making each move the exact same way it did the last time. Fighters do the exact same thing in their training. Each move has been practiced for hours and executed with precision. By the time a fighter moves into the ring he doesn't even have to think about what he is going to do. In training, sparring has prepared him to face his opponent. Good sparring partners have already simulated the opponent and when the bell rings muscle memory takes over. Punches are thrown, counterstrikes are absorbed and then countered themselves with combinations or takedowns.
The machine I operate isn't always perfect. Sometimes, and for no apparent reason, a mistake can be made. When this happens I have to reset the machine in hopes of getting the desired results I once had. A fighter is the same way. Every fighter has a loose game plan they want to execute and the hours spent training help develop it.
Mike Tyson, a former boxing world champion, was famously quoted saying: "Everyone has a plan 'till they get punched in the mouth." In any combat sport the goal is to not get rattled by what your opponent throws at you, but sometimes all it takes is some firm resistance to make you forget what you had spent hours, weeks and months cultivating. It takes a strong will to keep going when the unexpected is thrown at you. It takes an even stronger mind to come up with a new game plan on the spot, regain the advantage, and then win the fight. A strong mind can quickly develop a new fight tactic but a weak mind will crumble.
Fighters believe different things in regards to the mental game. Some say it's 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical, while others give it and 80/20 split. How they come up with those ratios I'm not sure, but like most things in life balance is key. I think it's safe to say that at least 50 percent of the game is mental. You wouldn't go to fight the heavyweight champ with no training just because you think you have a stronger mind, would you? Your mind must remain clear, your belief in yourself and your training must be firmly rooted. Some say you must believe deep down you are going to succeed, but dig too deeply and you can miss what's on the surface.
Train hard both physically and mentally. Know yourself, both your strong and weak points, and fine tune your strengths while working to make your weaknesses less inhibiting. Balance is key.

Rory drops in
RORY McILROY caused a kerfuffle for visitors to the Wanamaker Pavilion behind the ninth green yesterday when his escape from a bunker wound up under one of the tables. Guests were delighted when the US Open champion leaned over the picket fence to look for his ball.
"Well, hi there," boomed a huge PGA-type in a blazer. "How's your week going?" McIlroy's tone said it all as he replied: "Aw, fantastic."
He'd already slipped to 10-over for the tournament at that point. The diners cleared the area hoping he'd take on the shot out of the eating area and over a TV tower. They sighed in disappointment when he elected for a free drop instead.

Help Us Spread the Word!
Each participant in the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study is committed to making a difference in the future health of all dogs. Owners spend time answering questions that enable us at Morris Animal Foundation to collect valuable nutrition, lifestyle, genetic and behavior information. Study dogs perform the dutiful task of sitting still (or at least still enough) during sample collection that includes blood, hair and toenail trimmings. Veterinarians and their clinic staff across the country perform study examinations and enter the medical information into the study database.
Our participants are truly committed to the health of their dogs and that commitment is helping us make the largest veterinary study ever conducted a reality. In fact, when asked why Golden Retrievers were chosen as our study population, Erin Searfoss, the study's project manager, often jokes, "Have you met their owners?!"
Recently we launched new efforts to recruit the remaining one-third of dogs needed to fully enroll the study, and to retain current participants. To do this, we're enlisting another key component: volunteers. The tireless efforts and dedication of our Golden Volunteers have helped us spread the word about this amazing opportunity to join heroes across the contiguous United States.
Do you know a breeder who would like to share study information with puppy buyers or a veterinarian who would like to share information with their clients? Join our force of Golden Volunteers and help us spread the word about this important study for canine health by ordering marketing materials on the study website. Together we can grow #3000Strong together!

My husband and I will be traveling to Greece for our 5-year anniversary in mid/late June 2012. We will be gone for 2 weeks. This is our first time to Greece and our first time traveling internationally together. I love travel, adventure, new places, history, and beautiful scenery. He is not sure how he is going to like international travel (he has only traveled for business and humanitarian trips in the past, never just for fun!) He values a good deal and a simple itinerary. Our combined goals are romance, low-key travel, but enough adventure/excursions so we don't get bored. We love culture (ie: don't feel the need to go to the touristy spots, or the places that cater to Americans) and we love exercise (hikes, etc). We are planning to pack as little as possible-a backpack each. To try and mesh our 2 styles the plan so far is to fly into Athens and then hop on a plane for Santorini. Spend a couple of days each on a couple islands (recommendations so far are: Santorini, Crete, and Paros or Hydra) and then go back to Athens to explore and do some day trips (possibly Peloponnese or Delphi). We are on somewhat of a budget, so we realize that the majority of our money will be spent on airfare and then we will have to save on lodging, food, etc. Our original budget was $3000 but we were told this is impossible.
1. Any general tips for first-timers?
2. Any tips on saving money, especially when it comes to airfare?
3. We have heard it is possible, on the islands, to just show up and find a last minute room, is this feasible in late-June?
4. Any must-see places on the islands or mainland (knowing that my husband doesn't want to be overwhelmed with high-paced tourist travel, he is more happy in a low key environment, taking a hike, exploring some ruins, checking out a little beach town, etc.

First time travel to Greece, need help!
My husband and I will be traveling to Greece for our 5-year anniversary in mid/late June 2012. We will be gone for 2 weeks. This is our first time to Greece and our first time traveling internationally together. I love travel, adventure, new places, history, and beautiful scenery. He is not sure how he is going to like international travel (he has only traveled for business and humanitarian trips in the past, never just for fun!) He values a good deal and a simple itinerary. Our combined goals are romance, low-key travel, but enough adventure/excursions so we don't get bored.

"Spend a couple of days each on a couple islands"
1) First times tend plan too much withoug taking into concideration time needed to get from A to B or how logistics work.
Personaly I believe that even tiny Santorini deserves at very least 3 nights/2 full days and this is fast paced. Talking about Paros even more days are required, not to mention Crete which is huge. Hydra can be walked around on a day more or less, so 2 nights might be ok. Personaly I wouls skip Crete on this trip, unless you plan to spend at least 10 days which doesn't seem like your plan, or you have on mind as a must see an easily accesible particular spot, like visiting Hiraklion to see near by Knossos. If you decide on a set itenerary, you can often save some time and even money, by fly between islands and Athens. Check Aegean air and Olympic air and subscribe for their newsletters. Some time around February/March they will release a few super-saver offers. If you book far in advance, you can fly from Athens to say Santorini on same or cheaper rate than a ferry ticket would cost. And you'll have a 30 minutes flight versus a 7 hours ferry ride.
You don't mention where are you coming from, but if possible, look on arriving in Greece on a flight straight to the islands, departing Greece from Athens so you do not backtrack!
2 weeks work fine for basic sites on Peloponnese+Delphi+one small island and Athens or maybe 2 islands if you make this fast paced. (Are you planning to hire a car for your mainland portion?)
2) See advice above about airfare. Note that the most you move around, the more money you'll spend.To be honest, you mention a general budget including your airfare which I have no idea how much it will cost. So I can't estimate what your daily budget will be. It will help to give us this information, and please in Euros. This is the currency in Greece, and I am not willing to do calculations for you especially not knowing what dollars you are reffering on. Exchange rate might change till time of your visit, but an approximate budget would help. Having a budget to work on, me and others can help as we will know approximately on what kind of accomondation, food etc you can rely.
3) Yes it is on early June, even on busy Santorini. What is availiable might not be suitable for your wanted budget, standards,location, expectations though. If you are flexible, then this works fine. You have to really be flexible though.
4)This is far too general. Decide on a draft itenerary and then people will make specific suggestions.

You say you wanna avoid touristy places, and yet your list contains the most touristy islands of Greece....
Santorini,Crete,Paros, Hydra....
I could mention many non or less touristy places.. islands and places on the Mainland, would you be willing to visit them?
Parga, Syvota,Ioannina on the mainland, or Kardamili, Stoupa, Finikounda, methoni, Koroni... or Islands such as Chios or Lesbos or Thassos ????
On smaller island there is this habit of people waiting on the harbour to promote their small hotels or private rooms.
Once you have agreed on the price, they will offer you a complimentary transfer ....
The problem starts in case you don't like the offered accommodation.. in that case you will have to return to the harbour on your own expenses.... in any case always ask exactly where the accommodation is located, in order to avoid complication.... ( a nice, cheap room only 5 minutes from here, can be 5 km away by car....)
In many bigger islands, like Crete and mainland cities nobody will be at the harbour/bus station advertising rooms, you will have to do your own research, something that is either time consuming or impossible ( in case of Crete).
Island hopping is very time consuming as well, the time of 2 weeks won't allow you to see too many islands plus the mainland. Keep in mind that every time you go from one island to another, you are loosing time.
Staying on the mainland, which has many many great cities and archeological sites/Museums and beaches to offer would be one option, combined with a stay on 1-2 islands.

Mariha, thank you for your feedback. You asked about our budget, in Euro's our approximate budget for the whole trip would be around 3143. We are traveling from California. Thank you for the idea of flying straight to Santorini and avoiding the ferry ride. That would save time and be a good idea.
Clausar-yes, we are willing to try less touristy places. I have just mentioned the places that friends have told me about, but I am looking for advice, so thanks! We just want to see beautiful beaches and some historical sites.
To all: I guess our rough itinerary would be: Santorini (or other 1-2 islands), then the mainland (hopefully Peloponnese and Athens). Is it possible to take a train or bus between Athens and Peloponnese or is a car the only way?
Report Abuse
Santorini is the epitome of a touristy island.....
Islands that can be reached easily from Santorini, are touristy as well...
There are so many beautiful places in Greece that no one ever mentions here, as people always get advice for the same 5-6 places over and over again. I am glad that someone wants to discover new places...
As for Islands, i would recommend either Kea and Andros ( Andros is the second biggest cycladic island) or Sifnos and Serifos ( Serifos is one of my favorite cycladic islands)
The Mainland and especially the Peloponnese is absolutely beuatiful, you could do a tour , including the famous sites of Epidavros, Mycenae,Olympis and Corinth, plus the Southern Peloponnese with the beautiful villages of the Mani, Kardamili, Stoupa, Gythion or medieval Monemvasia and Mystras.
You could reach everything with a bus ( train is a bad idea - it is totally underdeveloped and very slow, plus not operating anymore in many parts of Greece)but best way to explore the Peloponnese would be a rental car.
In all the above places you can find inexpensive accommodation
As for beaches ,the Peloponnese has some of Greece's most beautiful ones...
Should you be interested in the above places, i'd be glad to give you more details.
Report Abuse
Clausar, thank you for the ideas. I have also heard that some of the most beautiful beaches are in the Peloponnese. Can you help me decide the timing of my trip? My husband will not enjoy himself if he has jetlag, so someone suggested we fly straight to the islands so we can have a few days of relaxation. However, there are no easy flights from the states to Kea, do you recommend we fly into Athens and then ferry (or fly?) over to Kea?
It sounds like you don't seem to think Santorini is worth the trip...is that correct?
After the islands we are then thinking of going to the mainland. Do you recommend we ferry (or fly?) to Athens and then take a bus to the Peloponnese or that we ferry/fly directly to the Peloponnese. I think it makes sense to end in Athens since our final flight will leave from Athens.
Do you think it is feasible to spend 2 weeks doing Kea (and maybe another island), the Peloponnese, and Athens? In that scenario, how many days would you spend in each location?
Thank you so much for your help and ideas!

Clausar, I just spend some time researching Sifnos and Serifos...wow, they look amazing! You are starting to turn me away from the "well known" islands and towards these other ones. They look beautiful!

On the mainland, after Athens I enjoyed Delphi the most. Olympia is lovely, too; the ancient site is very peaceful. Be aware that it will be hot in late June.

Santorini is a unique island that i do like very much, my comments were actually based on the fact that you didn't like anything touristy.....
A tour of the Peloponnese starting and ending in Athens.
could look like that :
1. Day
pick up of car in Athens, drive to Delphi, visit the site and the museum, overnight in the city of Galaxidi ( lovely neoclassical city on the sea, 30 km away from Delphi)
2. Day
continue to Nafpaktos ( with a nice medieval small harbour) and further to Patras via the Rion Bridge ( very nice drive to Nafpaktos plus spectacular view from the bridge over the Patraic Gulf). Then continue to Olympia, overnight in Olympia
3. Day
Olympia - Kalamata- Stoupa/Kardamili
Kalamata is a nice city on the messenian gulf, with a nice old city, worth a stop. Stoupa and Kardamili are 2 beautiful villages in the Mani with nice beaches . Overnight in Stoupa or Kardamilli
4. Day
Kalamata- Nafplion, overnight in Nafplion
Nafplion is a lovely old city near to many archelogical sites
5. Day
Nafplion - Athens
Visit of Mycenae, Epidavros on your way to Athens

General budgeting comments:
On mainland you can find some lovely mostly family owned guesthouses/small B&B hotels. Depending on specifics, those can cost around 35-60 euro/night for a double room including a continental breakfast. If hiring a car, you can always stop along a smaller l;ess popular village and find some rooms to let or small guesthouse which might charge less than a similar place on the most known towns.
On the islands, there are really many variations according to island and location of island, but in general on June you'll find something along the same lines, maybe without breakfast on the lower scale. Advandage on the islands is that usually rooms to let offer a small fridge, a couple of cooking rings and basic equipement, so you can prepare your own meals and save some money.
Talking of food costs, the whole sharing-dishes-and-try-a-bit-of-everything Greek thing makes the trick for most visitors. On other cultures each idividual orders his own salad, first course, main course, desert and so on. This is not the case i Greece. Greeks will order only a main course each, and often even mot a main course, then share among them all salads, side dishes, dips, and even desserts. So you can easily have between you a Greek salad,one side dish, a main course each and pay around 15 euro or something. Tipsottled water costs more while taped water is free . Clarify when ordering. On mainland tap water is fine everywhere. On some islands tap water is not exactly dangerous for your health but it is rather unpleasant, as usually comes from disaltation etc. House wine coming on carafes is always cheaper than bottled wine, and often more tasty lol You may always refuse the bread offered on taverns etc if you do not plan to consume it. It comes with a couple of euros cover cost. In Greece, forget the 15% of the bill tip US etiquette. You can tip or not as you feel about it. If you are happy with service received on a tavern, you can leave 0.50-2 euros on the table for the waiter to take. Important note: Fish and sea food is extremely pricey in Greece, In general smaller fish (ie sardines) is cheaper than large fish (eg tuna). Fresh fish much more expensive than frozen. Fish, especially the larger ones, is sold by weight, so ask your fish to be weighted before hand to avoid great surprises. Note that by Greek law, menus should mention if a fish item is frozen or fresh.
Non tavern food...Note that some visitors, not only for saving, but because they really feel like it due to the summer heat and everything,often skip a proper lunch. You can easily buy a few fruits and vegetables and/or a loaf of bread and some refreshements and make your own snack to have on the beach or on a peaque-neaque on a nice location. If breakfast is not included on your accomondation deal, or you are not much of a breakfast person, you can always head for the bearest bakery. Bakeries in Greece offer not only bread but many kinds of tasty snacks. Cheesepies, green pies, hum&cheese pies, cookies.... Really tasty and no more than a couple of euro cost. Souvlaki/guros shops. Absolutely filling option, a pita gyros (the wraped thing) costs no more than 2-2.50 euro each and can keep you going for hours. On morning, on Athens and other places you'll see street vendors selling "koulouri" a simple sesame pastry that costs only 0.50 euro. On evenings you may find corn street vendors too. Delicious. Last but no least, you can always rely on the famous Greek periptero as a last resort. Periptera-small kiosks- are to be found on every corner, on every street, and serve as a place to buy a bit of everything. From cigarettes to condoms,from water to chocolates, from cokes to bus tickets(in Athens). A bottled water of 0.500 lt costs 0.50 euro, one litre costs 1 euro on the periptera. On large chain supermarkets you'll find cheaper water and items. On mini markets, corner shops and touristy similar shops, periptera will be often proved cheaper.

You've gotten lots of excellent advice from clausar who lives in Greece and is very knowledgable about what to see and do. I'll just add my 2-cents that we love the Peloponnese. We've spent about 5 weeks there over the past few years and we still feel that we have a lot left to see.
Are you comfortable renting a car and driving? We've found the driving in Greece to be straightforward. Signage is generally good and main roads are in fine condition. From Nafplio (sometimes spelled Nauplion), which is 2.5-3 hours from Athens, you can easily daytrip to the following: Nemea (underrated, excellent site!!), Mycenae, Corinth & Acro Corinth, Epidauros, Lerna, Dendra, Midea (another underrated sight), Argos, the Argive Heraion (stunning), and many other small sites (Orchemenos comes to mind).
On the other side of the Peloponnese, we love Methoni and the Gialova area (near Pylos). Ancient Messene, which is daytrippable from Gialova, has to be one of the better preserved sites we've seen. King Nestor's Palace and of course Ancient Olympia are also amazing sites on this side of the Peloponnese. Finikounda is a fantastic beach.
I could go on and on, and haven't even mentioned beautiful Mystra or Monemvasia, but with only 2 weeks, you might consider getting a taste of the islands with Hydra and then spending the rest of your time exploring the Peloponnese at a leisurely pace. You can see a lot without spending the whole trip in the car (or on a ferry/plane). The people are friendly and the food is excellent. It will be quite warm by late June but plan accordingly and do your sightseeing early in the day so that you can spend the warm afternoons at the beach or by the pool.

Excellent advice Mariha !!!!
Glad to see that you took the time to give this detailed information. !!
The good about food in Greece is that you spend from 1,5 Euro for a cheesepie or 2 Euros for a souvlaki, up to 100 Euro per person in a gourmet restaurant.... there are always lots of choices.
The Peloponnese is my favorite part of Greece is well, and it is such a pity that most people only visit the Argolis.
You have mentioned so many gorgeous places ( i just love Finikounda!!!), i hope this will animate others readong this post to include a tour of the peloponnese in their next travel.
I tried to include as many places as possible, as a proposal to Faith581, unfortunately due to the limited time, Monemvasia and Methoni/Finikounda/Pylos will have to wait for another trip.
Orchomenos is actually in Beotia about 120 km north of Athens, have you been there as well?
This is the official site of the municipality :

Kalimera clausar, or should I say Kalispera since you are in Greece and it is almost evening there .
The Orchomenos site I referred to is actually in the Peloponnese (Arcadia) but we didn't see anyone else there so I am guessing that it is relatively unvisited. It has a beautiful theater over a very dramatic setting looking down into the Mantinean plain. There are other ruins at the site too that are interesting.

I took our first trip to Greece last may visiting Santorini, Naxos, Mykonos and Athens. I am not a fan of touristy places and yet enjoyed Oia on Santorini very much. Mykonos definitely fell into the touristy category for us as it was so over-run with cruisers. However, the back streets were very picturesque and charming. Oia was much quieter and we had a very relaxing time. We stayed in Oia and didn't venture into the busy town of Fira for that reason.
I like to mix a little bit of both for a first-time trip to a country to get a feel for a place.
It's amazing and we can't wait to get back to Greece.

Our first trip to Greece 4 years ago was to Santorini, Naxos and Athens. when we were deciding how to use miles for 2011 we went from Croatia, to Turkey and ultimately decided on Greece again: Crete and Paros, because we enjoyed our first trip so much. The first trip was the better of the two. You will never get over walking onto the promenade in Oia and seeing the caldera nor the pristine waters of so many of the beaches on Naxos. The food we experienced is still some of the best of our travels and the people on both trips were the kindest we've come across. You probably can't go wrong regardless of where you go but I wouldn't discount Santorini. We rented an ATV on both Santorini and Naxos and went everywhere, stopping at small out of the way restaurants and beaches that didn't cater to tourists. One of our favorite drives on Santorini was along the Aegean where the vineyards are at early dusk. We liked Naxos better than Paros where we also rented an ATV and saw much of the island. Our budget was much the same as yours and we were able to find very nice hotels to stay. We didn't go to high end restaurants but as I said never had better food. Our next trip to Greece will be to a few of the lesser traveled islands but we have no regrets over the ones we've been too.

Hello again!
I'll wait and see Faith581's decisions on a final itenerary, but I agree that popular places are popular for a reason. And of course you can get on somehow less visited attractions/areas/shops/taverns etc eveywhere,even on the busiest of places.
Still you can't compare a tiny 76 square kms island that normaly holds 11000 pernament citisents but gets hundrend of thousand visitors every summer (Santorini) with a small village that holds no visitors at all, or with visiting rural parts of Peloponnese that is 21500 square kms wide with 1200000 pernament population and gets maybe 1/100 of Santorini's visitors. The first one is a compact but crowded area easy to explore on a few days but holding disadvandages of a busy touristy place, the second is a very wide area, you can only see a small part of it on a more relaxed travel style.
I don't think that you can go wrong anyway, you'll just have a different experiece! You can't compare apples to pears I guess.
Report Abuse
I have to disagree with Mariha....
In Greece there are so many "popular" places, that are just totally unknown in this Forum...
All i see are recommendations for Santorini, Naxos Paros, and sometimes for Crete, and as for Mainland, it's always either Argolis or Delphi.
Greece is much more than that and if someone would like to discover the true face of Greece, then i would recommend many other destinations, unknown for many American perhaps, but very well known for many years in Europe.
It doesn't have to be always Mykonos or Naxos, while there are so many Cycladic islands that are equally beautiful!! ( Santorini is the big exception, as it is a unique island)
Plus all the other great islands from Thassos to Lesbos and Kythira or Paxi( just to name a few) that wait to be discovered.
Or the many many different faces of the Mainland, like Epirus with it's beautiful mountains and amazing villages and the incredibly nice coastline, or Pelion with the Sporades Islands.. ( the list could be endless)
I just wish people would be more daring to try to discover more than the "popular" places.

Thank you all for your responses! I appreciate all of your thoughtful comments. We are in the process of deciding our final plan...as soon as we decide I will post it to see if people have any last thoughts. Thanks and keep the ideas coming!
Mariha, thank you for the tips on food, customs, etc. One of the things to which we are most looking forward is the food It is great to know that sharing is an acceptable and encouraged custom! Also, yes, we feel very comfortable driving in a foreign country (we have done it many times) and we like the idea of renting a car to get around the Peloponnese. In fact, after hearing so many people talk about his beautiful area we are now torn between spending more time on the islands, or instead spending more time in Peloponnese.

If you are beach people, in addition to Finikounda, there is a beautiful omega-shaped beach near Gialova called Voidokoilia. Google it for photographs! There is also an ancient tholos tomb up on the hill overlooking the beach. The gate around it was locked when we visited (May 2009) but you could still see quite a bit.
Happy Planning!
PS - I forgot to mention that ancient Tiryns is just 5 minutes outside Nafplio. There is a fantastically preserved tholos tomb in an ornage grove about 1km from it. Follow the signs through the organge trees in the car and it takes you right to it. You'll almost certainly have it to yourselves

Texas-we LOVE the beach, so I will gladly take beach recommendations!
As of today (which means this most likely will change as I learn more!!) our rough itinerary is:
• Fly from LAX to Santorini
• (Spend about 5-6 days total on all islands) Ferry to 1-2 other islands. So far we are considering: Kea, Andros, Sifnos, Serifos, or Naxos
• (Spend about 5-6 days in Peloponnese) Ferry from islands to Peloponnese < ------ someone told me this was possible, does anyone know if we can actually do this, or will we first have to go back to Athens??
• In Peolopnnese, rent a car and see: Napflion, Mycenae, Corinth, Momnevesia, Rion Bridge, and check out beautiful beaches. Possibly see: Epidavros, Olympia, Kardamili, Kalamata
• (Spend about 2-3 days in Athens) Drive back to Athens to see all of the historical sites
• Fly out of Athens

clausar, I don't disagree at all. One of my favorite islands is Lemnos. Most foreigners haven't ever heard about it : ))) I just say that each place is different.
Faith, to be honest, on my knowledge you can connect staight to Peloponnese only sometimes through Crete-Kythira to Neapoli or Spetses to Portocheli and Kostos port and of course some of the Ionians to Killini or/and Patras on the west. I am affraid that you have to go through Athens coming from Cyclades.
Cheack very carefully ferry connections among the islands. Personaly I think Santorini plus an other island are more than enough for 5-6 days.
Depending on which your second island will be, you might be able to catch a flight back to Athens, maybe hiring a car out from the airport and head to Peloponnese straight away, depending on specifics (if this is an early morning flight, then why not...)

You can't see zucchini blossoms at the farmers market and not buy them. I think there must be some kind of law against it. And if there isn't, there should be. Because zucchini blossoms are seriously one of the most amazing things to grace the tables at farmers markets this time of year. I mean seriously. Get yourself some. Pronto. Because you need to make these Crispy Herbed Goat Cheese Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms.
Boy that is a mouthful. But a delicious mouthful. When Ryan said, is crispy really necessary? I thought yes, yes it is. Honestly, I really didn't want to call them anything else because, to me, reading that title just makes my mouth water. Crispy. Herbed. Goat. Cheese. Stuffed. Zucchini. Blossoms. Ohhhh come to mama.
I already professed my love for zucchini blossoms in this post for mozzarella stuffed fried zucchini blossoms where I explained that I first fell in love with them in Rome. It's a love affair that has lingered for the last 6 years and it is rekindled every summer.
And yes, I am aware that there are in fact other ways to enjoy zucchini blossoms that don't involve frying. In fact, I've enjoyed them in pastas. I've heard also they are good in quesadillas. But for me, when I finally get my hands on them in late July and August, the only thing I can think of is stuffing them and frying them.
I can't not do it.
Usually I like to stuff them with mozzarella, because well, anything stuffed with mozzarella and fried is bound to be a winner in my book. But after trying them at Cactus, one of our absolute favorite local restaurants, that opted to stuff these delicate little flowers with the equally delicate goat cheese, I couldn't help myself and just had to try it at home.
Oh. My. Gosh.
The deliciousness is hard to handle friends. The flowers are stuffed with herbed goat cheese and coated in a very delicate batter and then fried to perfection.
And perfection it is. Cooked just long enough for the outside to be golden brown and the goat cheese to just start melting.
They are light, crispy, airy and cheesy.
Like I said, perfection
Gently place 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the center of each blossom, being careful not to tear the petals.
Heat about 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Until it reaches 350 degrees or until a bit of batter dropped into it begins frying.
While you are waiting for your oil to heat up, make your batter by whisking together flour and ice water until a smooth and thin batter forms.
Once your oil is hot, carefully dredge the stuffed zucchini blossoms in the batter. Allow any excess to drip off and then fry until golden brown 1 - 2 minutes on each side. You may need to do this in batches so you don't over crowd the pan.
Use a slotted spoon to transfer to a paper towel lined plate, sprinkle with salt and serve immediately.

2) He has had some major corruption problems - some of which were addressed and corrected in his original thread in the MS WGA forums that he pointed to
3) (Karl - please don't pre-judge!)
4) The poor guy has been fighting this for a month now - with what little assistance I have been able to offer - and eventually I directed him to a repair install. This came up with a very general erorr message, which is why I drected him to these forums (they are more likely, I suspect, to produce a viable solution than the normal MS Answers forums)
Give the guy a break, please, and try answering the questions, rather than pandering to your prejudices.
(as far as the CBS.log file is concerned the only person I know who can reliably read them is Niemiro - who has been on the sick-list for a few months now)

Are you using the latest official ISO installer w/SP1 for the Repair Install? If not download it using steps 1 and 2 from Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
Next establish a Clean Boot as shown in Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7. If this fails to resolve the problem, then disable your AV in both listed locations.
Run SFC -SCANNOW Command as suggested until it finds no integrity violations, and then run a full Disk Check if necessary from Elevated Command Prompt .
Have you had a bootloader such as GRUB on the HD? This may require wiping the HD to Clean the boot sector with Diskpart Clean Command before a Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7.
You should also not be afraid of a Clean Reinstall as it solves all problems and if you follow the steps in the tutorial will yield a perfect install which few users have. You can then save a backup image so you never have to reinstall again.
The process also familarizes you with your computer much more and puts an end to dragging out frustration. We are also here to help you at every step, and are the recognized leaders in this field.

Schoolchildren and learning languages
Much fuss in the media about the new UK initiative to improve exports by teaching 5,000 children Chinese.
A pity that Sinn Fein's long established language initiative in Northern Ireland has not received similar notice.
Despite naysayers' claims that increasing numbers of schoolchildren learning Gaelic, which they say is a virtually moribund language, is a waste of time and money, they ignore the very real potential of the policy to increase our annual exports to the Donegal Gaeltacht by as much as £3.50.

Lecturer in Politics and International Relations, Faculty of Social Sciences
Matthew Rendall is Lecturer in Politics and International Relations at the University of Nottingham, and holds a PhD in Political Science from Columbia University. His earlier research focused on large-scale war and peace, including such topics as nuclear deterrence, whether there is a 'separate peace' among democracies, and collective security. This work often tested theories of war and peace through historical case studies, often drawing on original historical research. More recently he has also been writing about intergenerational justice, climate change and various topics in moral philosophy.

PhD Supervision:

This autumn,I'm teaching an MA seminar called 'When Does Russia Expand, and Why?' In the spring I'll teach a third-year module on the ethics of climate change. I'm also teaching on the second-year modules Social and Global Justice and Democracy and Its Critics.
At present, I'm working on a paper, 'Realism and Rational Choice', arguing that in representative democracies, egoists have no rational incentive to vote, but that there are good moral reasons for voting. This creates a puzzle for classical realism. Realists since Thucydides have held that states won't let morality get in the way of self-interest. But why would citizens driven by self-interest bother to vote at all? If representative democracies pursue consciously egoistic foreign policies, either voters must be irrational or democratic institutions must be defective.
My dissertation evaluated competing explanations for the long European peace after 1815 through an analysis of Russia's Near Eastern policy, drawing on extensive research in Moscow's archives. I remain interested in the Concert of Europe and Russian foreign policy. ''Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe', appearing in The Review of International Studies in 2006, attacks John Mearsheimer's The Tragedy of Great Power Politics, arguing that defensive realism gives a better account of the long peace after 1815. I have also written about the Belgian crisis of 1830-32 and the Anglo-French crisis of 1840, and their implications for collective security and democratic peace theory.
I have two books in mind: one on intergenerational justice, catastrophic risks, and consequentialist moral philosophy, and the other on the security dilemma and the outbreak of the Crimean War.

From A
Biographical History of Central Kansas, Vol. I, p. 388
published by The Lewis Publishing Co, Chicago & New York, 1902
In the promotion and conservation of advancement in all the normal lines of human progress and civilization there is no factor which has exercised more potent influence than the press, which is both the director and the mirror of public opinion. Rice county has been signally favored in the character of its newspapers, which have been vital, enthusiastic and progressive, ever aiming to advance the interests of this favored section of the Union, to aid in laying fast and sure the foundations of an enlightened commonwealth, to further the ends of justice and to uphold the banner of Kansas. In a compilation of this nature then it is clearly incumbent that due recognition be accorded the newspaper press of the state and those men who are in control of its journalistic interests. Prominent among these has been Clark Conkling, who is proprietor of the Lyons Republican, having been at the head of this paper for twenty-two years.
A native of Ohio, Mr Conkling was born in Hamilton county, near Sharonsville, on the 9th of September, 1851, and is a son of William M Conkling, a native also of Ohio and a representative of English and German ancestry. The family was founded in America at an early period in the development of the new world by ancestors who located first on Long Island. Later representatives of the name went to Maryland, thence to Pennsylvania and subsequently to Ohio. The paternal grandmother of Mr Conkling was a Miss Nash, who died in Ohio. William M Conkling learned the blacksmith's trade in early life and followed that pursuit for a time, but afterward turned his attention to farming whereby he provided for the support of his family. He married Miss Elizabeth Drake Glenn, who was born in Hamilton county, Ohio and they became the parents of six children, namely: Benjamin D, who is living in Lyons; Hattie P; Ed G, who resides in Topeka; Clark, of this review; Mrs R C Sheeley, of New York, who died at the age of forty-five years; and Alice D, who died at the old home when twenty years of age. The parents have also passed away, the father having departed this life at the ripe old age of eighty-one years, while his wife also attained the same age. He was a Republican in his political affiliations and was an elder in the Presbyterian church. His life was upright and honorable, consistent with his professions at all times, and wherever he was known he was respected and esteemed for his many excellent qualities of heart and mind.
Clark Conkling, whose name introduces this record, was educated in the state of his nativity and acquired his education in Lebanon and in the Western Reserve College, at Cleveland, Ohio. In 1873 he left the Buckeye state for the west, removing to Colorado, where he was employed in a store for a time. In 1879 he came to Lyons and established the Lyons Republican. He has made this paper a power for good in the county, and through its columns has wielded a wide and far-reaching influence in behalf of the Republican party. The journal is a bright, newsy sheet, devoted to local interests and to the dissemination of matters of general interest. It is the champion of all measures for public good and is ever found on the side of progress, reform and improvement.
Mr Conkling was married in Lyons, on the 2nd of April, 1884, to Miss Laura Stone, a native of Illinois and a daughter of D F Stone. Their marriage has been blessed with six living children, four daughters and two sons, namely: Yetta A, Enid, Clark, Glenn S, Catherine and Gerald M. Mrs Conkling is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church and is a devoted wife, a faithful mother and a loyal friend.
Mr Conkling is identified with the Knights of Pythias fraternity, with the Independent order of Odd Fellows and with the Ancient Order of United Workmen. From the time he attained his majority he has given an unswerving support to the principles of the Republican party, believing that it contains the best elements of good government. In every way possible he has labored for its advancement, sets forth in strong argument the elements which produce its strength and which give it superiority over the other great political organizations. While Benjamin Harrison was serving as chief executive of the nation Mr Conkling by appointment of the president, was postmaster of Lyons and filled the office with credit and honor to himself and to the best interests of the patrons of the office. He is a man of progressive views, who believes in education, in temperance and in continual advancement along all lines of substantial progress. In manner he is affable and genial, and unfailing courtesy renders him popular with all with whom he has business or social relations.

Belfast-based photographer Michael Taylor wrapped mannequins and models in electroluminescent (EL) wire and shot them in a blacked out theatre to create images for Luminescence, a new project viewable on Taylor's website
"This image was derived during the preparation stage," explains Taylor. "My stylist, Barbara Ann Carville, was wrapping the EL wire around a mannequin when I noticed some interesting shapes and spontaneously shot them. Though not part of any 'finished' sequence, it really was an intuition: light revealing itself."

Shopping Safely on promain.co.uk
We hope you enjoy the ease and convenience of shopping on promain.co.uk and other websites. Your confidence in our website and your internet security is really important to us, so we've put together some advice to help keep you safe when you shop.
Your Password
We do appreciate that remembering passwords can be tricky, but setting effective and secure passwords on all the sites you use is vital in combating possible fraudulent activity using your personal details.
It's best to avoid using the same password for each of your online accounts, because if a criminal gains access to it, all your accounts could be at risk. Multiple passwords keep you safer.
When you set a password, it's a good idea to use a mix of numbers and characters, and something that's very personal to you. Most sites these days will set a minimum number of characters to use, but do avoid using obvious phrases like "password", or your name, or phone number. In this example, we've used a well-known Shakespearian quotation to illustrate the kind of phrase you might want to choose (read it aloud and it will make sense!)
It's a good idea to change your passwords on a regular basis, especially for sites you use frequently and which involve financial transactions.
If you ever get a request to reveal your password for an online site, don't respond as legitimate sites and services won't ask you to send them passwords via email. You may be tempted to share passwords with close family, but do keep in mind there's always a risk they could pass information on inadvertently or share it with someone else.
You can re-set your password on promain.co.uk at any time by signing into your account and choosing the Edit your password option. If you've forgotten your password, just enter your email address on the 'Forgotten your password' page, and we'll email you your password information. Then simply follow the instructions in the email to change your password.
It's a good idea at this point to change your password to something that's as secure as possible. If you decide to change your promain.co.uk account password, or if we prompt you to do so, we'll ask you to set one with no fewer than 8 characters, to include a minimum of one upper and one lower case letter, and at least one number.
For more information on online safety and passwords, there are a number of useful websites such as Get Safe Online, Microsoft Safety & Security, Google good to know.
Computer Security
Keep yourself safe from malware and viruses with adequate, up to date security on your computer. You can usually download free basic protection from providers such as AVG and McAffee, but for more comprehensive cover, it's best to choose security software, which of course you can buy from us. Keep your software switched on and up to date, and make sure that your Windows operating system has the latest Microsoft updates. It's a good idea to run regular scans on your computer.
When you're opening emails, be careful. Don't click on links to download files or open attachments you haven't asked for, or aren't expecting, as they may contain viruses. Back up all your files so they're available if the worst happens and your computer is infected by a virus.
Privacy Promise
Your privacy is of the highest importance to us, and we promise never to release your personal details to any outside company for mailing or marketing purposes.
When you make a purchase from our website, we do collect certain personal information from you (for example: your name, email address, payment address and details). All such information is held on secure servers. Promain complies fully with all applicable Data Protection and consumer legislation, and we'll treat all your personal information as fully confidential.

In light of this it's worth remembering this:
This morning, Mitt Romney had more delegates than John McCain. Following today's primaries, Romney's lead has grown even larger because Nevada has more delegates than South Carolina and Romney won a larger proportion of the vote in NV than McCain got in South Carolina. Naturally, the press is declaring this a big win for McCain. I just saw Howard Fineman explain that "there is no longer any strong candidate in the race" to oppose McCain. Nobody but the guy who's leading, that is.
In other news, Obama may have actually won Nevada.

No, in fact, I had not heard of it before. Thanks for letting me know about it! It looks pretty rad.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
I think it's clever and well executed! It's one of those pieces of art that invites a second glance and a moment of thought, which totally makes it easier to truly appreciate.
Maybe the stroke sketchiness is a bit inconsistent, with the shards for example? But the color, contrast, and overall composition came out to be super powerful. Awesome work as always :D
Thanks dude! I appreciate the feedback!

The Los Angeles Philharmonic and the L.A. Chamber Orchestra were among the 18 classical-music ensembles honored this week at the annual awards presented by the League of American Orchestras and the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP).
But neither orchestra received the top prizes, which went to the Albany Symphony Orchestra for its commitment to American music, and the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra for innovative programming.
The prizes were handed out at the annual shindig of American orchestras, which is being held in St. Louis. The national conference is scheduled to run through Thursday.
PHOTOS: Gustavo Dudamel career in pictures
The L.A. Philharmonic placed first this year among major orchestras in the field of programming contemporary music -- the same honor the orchestra received last year. Music director Gustavo Dudamel wasn't in attendance because he is in Europe. The second and third place prizes in the category went to the Seattle Symphony and the Nashville Symphony, respectively.
The L.A. Chamber Orchestra received second place in the same category for the "Group 2" ensembles -- the orchestral equivalent of the middleweight category in boxing. The first-prize winner was New York's Orpheus Chamber Orchestra.
The Orpheus also won the prize for the programming of American music on foreign tours.
Winning is something the L.A. Philharmonic has become accustomed to at these national gatherings. The orchestra has won the top prize for innovative programming -- the Morton Gould Award -- three times in a row, starting in 2009. The orchestra has put new music at the center of its programming since Esa-Pekka Salonen began his tenure as music director in 1992.
