"I didn't realize it until the second time I had said it. We have a thing called the Gorilla position and I was ready to go out. They pulled me for a quick interview and we talked about the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal, and I had a tough time a few days ago with that. My manager Jimmy Hart and I just stood and stared at the statue and when I looked at his face, I lost it and I was totally rattled for at least half that day. It really upset me, in a good way. So in that interview when we talked about the Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal and then I went straight out there I guess my mind was still thinking Andre. But the crowd sure let me know that I was saying the wrong name of the venue. So I apologized to them and I made sure that I tagged it at the end again with the Skydome. Oh man, the Superdome." - Hulk Hogan explains his Silverdome and Superdome mix up
April 10, 2014
Last year, WWE unveiled an Andre the Giant statue, which impressed a lot of fans and wrestlers alike, and it looks like the company might be making it an annual thing. At an Axxess event during Wrestlemania 30 week, Triple H unveiled a new Bruno Sammartino statue. The legendary former world champion was there in attendance as well.

"I love Bray Wyatt. I love him. I love that whole gimmick, that whole Wyatt Family gimmick, but Bray I think he's gonna be a huge star. I get caught up in this guy, man. When I watch him he's one of those guys. He's another guy, I mean he doesn't look like a stud. He's not a statue of a man, but he is athletic as you can get, that kid can move man. He is agile, he is a stud man. That kid is as an athlete. He gets when he cuts a promo, you just get sucked in man. He is hypnotizing. When I talk to him like personal, on a personal level, he's one of those kids who's not afraid to learn, he has no ego. He's still learning and he knows he's still learning and he's not afraid to ask questions, and I think that's why he's going to be so good. 'Cause he's this good right now and he still wants to learn." - Batista predicting Bray Wyatt to be the next big star for WWE

Usually, when a group of people get together for a crime heist, the target is usually something quite lucrative. Autographed boots were the target this past week at the Hulk Hogan restaurant down in Florida. Some women reportedly distracted the manager by knocking over the statue outside the building, while one of them grabbed the memorabilia.
March 20, 2014
Sarita posted this interesting picture of herself on Instagram, where the former TNA Knockout is posing with a statue of a Transformers. She even revealed that she was a big fan of the cartoon and that Seaspray, a lesser known character from that toy universe, was her favorite robot.
February 9, 2014
A group of people in Pittsburgh have put together the time and effort required to erect a statue of wrestling legend Bruno Sammartino, but the owners of the land where the old Civic Arena stands are against the idea and have placed a stoppage on those particular plans.

Congratulations to Mickie James and Brutus Magnus. They're now parents to a new baby boy named Donovan Patrick Aldis. Mickie has been on a hiatus since becoming pregnant, only making sporadic appearances during the beginning. Magnus is expected to still be on the road with TNA, but that schedule is a bit easier now that the company is taping Impact Wrestling in advance.
September 25, 2014
There's a pretty long list of wrestlers who have gotten into acting over the years. You can add Brutus Magnus to that group, as the former TNA World Heavyweight Champion has been seeking out opportunities in Hollywood as of late. With his look and weekly exposure on Impact Wrestling, he has a bit of an edge over new actors in the industry.
June 12, 2014
"Why do internet fans and gossip writers always have to find an ulterior motive for decisions? It baffles and frankly irritates the hell out of me that these people always have to assume the worst, and report it as fact. More needs to be done in both companies to combat internal sources talking to these parasites. I was asked by a promoter recently if I lost the title because there was heat between me and John Gaburick, our Executive VP of Talent and Creative. Nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, 'Big' and I are able to freely express ourselves to one another, which means we get to speaks our minds properly, and we've had that relationship since he first arrived in TNA. "Furthermore, how ridiculous is that notion? Do you think if there was heat, that he would have put the title on me in the first place. On average, numbers went across the board while I had the strap. The job of the heel champion is to get the babyfaces over, and leave the place in a better state than he found it. Mission accomplished. "I can't wait to sink my teeth into my next chapter." - Brutus Magnus addressing rumors that he has backstage heat in TNA
May 28, 2014
It looks like TNA is investing heavily into Bram, a new character who recently made his debut as a childhood friend of former world heavyweight champion Brutus Magnus. Even though he has yet to make a name for himself in the industry, Bram has been given a multiple year contract by TNA. While it may not be for a large sum of money, the commitment is quite telling.
May 9, 2014
Rumors have been floating around for a couple of months now about Mickie James being pregnant, and the former TNA Knockout has now confirmed it during a recent interview with Totally Driven Radio. Mickie also revealed that she is due to give birth to her first baby some time in September. Former world champion Brutus Magnus is said to be the father.
May 9, 2014
A new Slammiversary 2014 poster has been released. This time, new TNA World Heavyweight CHampion Eric Young is featured instead of Brutus Magnus.

Earlier this week, news came out that Kurt Angle had been added as a last minute addition to the live events that TNA is holding this upcoming weekend. Word has now come out that the former world heavyweight champion will be teaming up with MVP to take on Ethan Carter and Brutus Magnus. Angle is replacing James Storm and Gunner, who are doing a show in England.
May 2, 2014
In the main event of TNA Sacrifice 2014, Eric Young was able to defeat Brutus Magnus to retain the world heavyweight championship. Young scored the pin fall victory after delivering two piledrivers and a top rope elbow drop. During the match, Magnus attempted to cheat by using a weapon to win the TNA title back, but the referee caught him.

"I'm as grateful to Sting as anybody in the wrestling business for the benefit he has had in my career. Steve is a great guy and very very smart and just a model citizen as far as the way he conducts himself and how much respect he commands. There are some people who seem to be obsessed with respect and seem to be obsessed with guys not showing them enough respect but Sting is a guy who has never had to pull any stunts, never had to bully anyone, never had to throw his weight around or pull rank; he commands respect. The same could be said about Kurt Angle." - Brutus Magnus discusses how Sting is backstage
April 15, 2014
If TNA decides to keep the belt on Eric Young for the long term, an idea which is being tossed around backstage because of his marketing value at the moment, then management is going to push Bobby Roode up as a challenger for the world heavyweight championship. There are still talks of Brutus Magnus recapturing the belt at TNA Sacrifice 2014.
April 14, 2014

April 13, 2014
In an extremely shocking bit of news, Eric Young has defeated Brutus Magnus to become the new TNA World Heavyweight Champion. He had earned himself a title shot at the beginning of Impact Wrestling, where Young won a gauntlet match. Instead of waiting for the title shot, he demanded it on the same night. A piledriver sealed the pin fall victory for Young.
April 10, 2014
When Bobby Lashley made his return to TNA, some felt that it might have been a temporary appearance. However, that was squashed when it was revealed that was back for an extended period of time. There are rumors floating around right now that TNA could use his name value to give some credibility to Brutus Magnus in a title program.
March 27, 2014
A picture of the official Slammiversary 2014 poster, which features Brutus Magnus as the centerpiece attraction. Behind him are Bobby Roode, Jeff Hardy, MVP and Kurt Angle, which has led to speculations that TNA could be doing a big world heavyweight championship match featuring all five of the performers.
March 26, 2014
Internally, TNA is hoping that they can build up Gunner over the next several months, so that he can become a title challenger for Brutus Magnus and the world heavyweight championship. His program with James Storm and fantastic match at TNA Lockdown 2014 helped increase his credibility in the eyes of the fans. Management will be doing more of that as well.
March 15, 2014
During a recent interview, Mickie James revealed that she is back in a relationship with Brutus Magnus. The former WWE diva and the current TNA heavyweight champion went through a breakup last year, but it looks like they have reconciled their differences.
March 14, 2014
It is now being reported that Mickie James is pregnant. She has been telling independent wrestling promoters that she is willing to make appearances, but she can no longer take a bump in the ring. The former TNA star recently revealed that she is back with Brutus Magnus again. The two had split up for a period of time.
March 13, 2014

Since when is having a light-weight OS a bad thing? Haven't people been harping on MS enough for having bloated OSes?
Sure, make allowances for multiple-core and multiple CPUs on the not-so-low end, but making the minimum requirement a single CPU was definitely smart on their end.
Having a light weight OS isn't a bad thing, but just as bloat is bad, so is keeping it small for the sake of keeping it small. If we're sacrificing a feature rich OS for no other reason than to support hardware from 10+ years ago, then something needs to change. Computers are dirt cheap these days, so there's very little excuse to not upgrade if it's so much of an issue for you that you're demanding MS design it's OS around your 10 year old computer.

"We were sitting around and realized that ginger comes from China. So we thought of our ethnicity and brainstormed on what other flavors have Asian origins," Ruby, who takes care of the business side of things, says.
The concept is simple: gingerbread men with an Filipino twist. On their current menu: ube, red bean, macapuno (a Philippine variety of coconut that is soft and jelly-like) and green tea pandan.
"We're full Filipino," Ruby says. "These are all ingredients we grew up with and are familiar with using."
They've also recently added dark chocolate and gluten-free versions to the menu for good measure -- and due to popular demand.
Ginger is at the base of each cookie and instead of a traditional ginger snap, the sisters have opted for a moister madeleine-like base. All the ingredients are organic and each cookie has 80 to 90 calories."I personally don't like really sweet desserts," Ruth says. "It took a while to find the right combination, but our ingredients are organic, low in sugar and we use vegetables to make the food coloring." Ruth, the younger of the two, is the baker of the company.
The bakery is currently based online but is making regular appearances at the Eagle Rock farmers market and the upcoming 626 Night Market.
"We don't sleep," Ruth jokes. Both sisters have day jobs and the cookie-making process, all done in their home kitchen, pushes their hours well into the night. Prep work takes five hours and the actual baking and packaging takes up roughly three.
"Our gingerbreads are definitely something different," Ruth says. "Now it's all about getting the word out there." Exactly.

Set up a Private Git repository via SSH
Productivity Sauce
If you need to set up a private Git repository, you don't have to deploy a full-blown Git server or use one of many popular Git services like GitHub and Bitbucket. Instead, you can opt for a quick-and-dirty solution which lets you work with git repositories via SSH.To do this, you need a remote machine with Git and SSH installed on it. Establish an SSH connection to the server, then create and initialize a bare Git repository:
mkdir repo.git cd repo.git git init --bare
On your local machine, create and initialize the git repository by running the git init command. Use then the git remote add origin ssh://user@remotehost/path/to/repo command to add the remote host to the repository (replace user with the actual user name, remotehost with the server's IP address or domain name, and /path/to/repo with the path to the remote repository). That's pretty much all there is to it. On your local machine, launch the terminal, switch to the repository, and use the usual commands to add files, create a commit, and push it to the remote repository:
git add -A git commit -m "Initial commit" git push origin master
Instead of running the above commands every time you want to push changes to the remote repository, you can add the following function to the ~/.bashrc file:
function gitc { cd $1 git add -A git commit -m "$2" git push origin master }
Next time you need to push changes, open the terminal and run the gitc /path/to/repo "Commit message goes here" command.comments powered by Disqus

Cotton ear buds, pista nut shells, glitter and used paper came in handy as children learnt to create an art work without a paint brush. Over 30 children who participated in a workshop at Nageswara Rao Park, Mylapore, on Saturday spent an enjoyable evening painting on the white chart paper provided to each of them with an outline of a drawing.
The initiative was part of the 'Weekend at the Park' series organised by Sundaram Finance, where the objective was to make creative use of open spaces to develop talent.
For most of the participants, it was their first brush with such a session. A few parents who came from Nanganallur and Porur were seen requesting the organisers to allow the latecomers.
"Interesting" was the response a majority of children shared as they took every instruction step-by-step to give the parrot perched on a tree colour and life. V.K. Manasi and A. Meera, neighbours studying in different schools, said the process was much simpler than using the brush. Thumb impression was used to paint the body of the bird, and the pista shell to look like flowers.
"Aunty, I need another bud," shouted a boy, keeping the organisers busy. Not all were attending such a session for the first time. A few regular participants such as B. Rahul said they wished they could also get to draw, as every drawing was similar.
Art and craft teacher Revathi Ganesh said the challenge for children was to learn different strokes without paint brush as well as execute them neatly.

Several environmental groups have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of State and Secretary John Kerry over the permitting of a controversial border-crossing northern leg of a pipeline system that DeSmogBlog has called Enbridge's "Keystone XL Clone."
The Keystone XL Clone is designed to accomplish the same goal as TransCanada's Keystone XL: bringing Alberta's tar sands to Gulf coast refineries and export market. It consists of three legs: the Alberta Clipper expansion as the northern leg, the Flanagan South middle leg and the Seaway Twin southern leg.
Green groups have called the northern leg an "illegal scheme"because the Enbridge Alberta Clipper expansion proposal didn't go through the normal State Department approval process. Instead, State allowed Enbridge to add pressure pumps to two separate-but-connected pipelines on each side of the border and send Alberta's diluted bitumen ("dilbit") to market.

WASHINGTON — With the U.S. Postal Service planning to shut down 82 more plants starting in January, postal worker unions and allies in Congress are pushing for a late-game moratorium on closures they say will weaken the agency and further slow down the mail.
The scheduled shutdowns are part of a consolidation plan the agency put in place in 2011 to help staunch its red ink, much of it the result of pre-funding mandates instituted by Congress. The closures go hand-in-hand with the postal service's plan to save money by reducing the service standards for certain mail categories, a strategy that's divided stakeholders in the postal reform debate.
According to the postal service, the plant consolidations would most affect first-class mail. Personal letters, bills and greeting cards that normally reach their destination overnight would take two days after the closures. Priority mail and packages won't be impacted, the agency said.
We can get universal automatic voter registration, universal hand-counted paper ballots and abolition of the Electoral College.
It's a simple program. How do we win it? Well, THAT's the $64 trillion question. But we have to find a way or we have nothing even vaguely resembling a democracy.
by Richard Parker
How dark money and voter disenfranchisement combined in a toxic brew that resulted in the lowest voter turnout in more than 70 years, hampering whatever chance Democrats had to win.
Last Tuesday's election was, by any measure, a sweeping victory for the Republicans—their second consecutive midterm sweep since Barack Obama took office, by which they've now picked up a total 77 seats combined in the United States House of Representatives and the Senate. In the House they've not had a majority this size since Herbert Hoover occupied the White House—and they control more statehouses now than at any time in the nation's history. But what does that mean—or more importantly, what does it portend, for Gridlock Nation?
Predictably, Republicans are claiming a mandate, while not a small number of commentators are noisily calling the results a "stunning rebuke" to the president and the Democrats. Yet given the size of their losses, Democrats from the Oval Office on down have remained surprisingly calm—even alarmingly detached, some might say. Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, at the moment, look set to retain their leadership posts, and the president so far is talking tough on his plans to use executive powers to govern in his last two years. Meanwhile, they're all staying brave, it seems, by telling themselves (and anyone who'll listen) two heartening but simple stories, one backward-looking, the other predictive.

After the death a few weeks ago of the legendary editor of The Washington Post Ben Bradlee, most obituaries celebrated his willingness to go after Richard Nixon. Charles Pierce at Esquire writes that Bradlee "rode the Watergate story when nobody else wanted it. It's hard now even to imagine how very far out on the limb Bradlee went on that story." But Pierce is largely alone in also noting that the Post under Bradlee "ultimately took a dive on Iran-Contra." Bradlee himself described what he called a "return to deference" on the part of the press corps that took place under Ronald Reagan, saying that his colleagues were responding to a perceived public fatigue with journalists "trying to make a Watergate out of everything." "We did ease off," he said.
The Post did more than "ease off." After Bradlee's retirement, it went on the offensive, especially in its discrediting of Gary Webb's reporting, for supposedly overstating the case that the CIA knowingly helped flood Central Los Angeles with cocaine, as part of its illegal support of the anti-Sandinista Contras. And it hasn't let up. In response to Kill the Messenger, the movie based on Webb's life and work, the Post published yet another deceptive.
Exclusive: On Oct. 30, ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern was arrested for trying to attend a public speech by retired Gen. David Petraeus. McGovern had hoped to ask Petraeus a critical question during Q-and-A but was instead trundled off to jail, another sign of a growing hostility toward dissent, McGovern says.

Why, I asked myself, would the New York City police arrest me and put me in The Tombs overnight, simply because a security officer at the 92nd Street Y told them I was "not welcome" and should be denied entry to a talk by retired General David Petraeus? In my hand was a ticket for which I had reluctantly shelled out $50.
I had hoped to hear the photogenic but inept Petraeus explain why the Iraqi troops, which he claimed to have trained so well, had fled northern Iraq leaving their weapons behind at the first whiff of Islamic State militants earlier this year. I even harbored some slight hope that the advertised Q & A might afford hoi polloi like me the chance to ask him a real question.

Ask any football or basketball coach. It's a lot easier to win if you can write your own rules. Today the shrinking base of the Republican Party holds onto power by writing rules giving it a built-in advantage in elections. And it works.
Michigan Democrats received more votes for Congress and more votes for the state House of Representatives than Republicans. But Republicans, thanks to the aftermath of 2010, changed the rules sufficiently so that they maintained their stranglehold on Michigan government.
The minority party is running the show, and Democrats can't do much about it. Even a petition drive is fraught with challenges, because Republicans in the Legislature have become masters at gaming the system to prevent citizens from forcing a referendum.

Election turnout is often cited as an indicator of the strength of the mandate of winning candidates, but it can be a misleading statistic: Turnout is usually measured as a proportion of registered voters rather than of those eligible to vote — and census numbers show that more than 70 million U.S. citizens of voting age are not registered voters.
Al Jazeera kept a close watch on voter turnout Tuesday, mindful of the possible impact of new voter ID laws in more than 30 states that critics feared would discourage or prevent voting by poorer Americans.
Turnout proved to be lower than previous years in all but 10 states, but the reasons for that decline are many: Some states lacked competitive races to draw voters to the polls; others cut polling hours or reduced early voting periods. And, in some states, new voter ID laws could have kept some voters away. Public opinion polls such as the one released by Gallup earlier this week suggested that fewer Americans cared about this election than in previous years.

"There's been class warfare going on for the last 20 years, and my class has won."
Billionaire investor Warren Buffett made that remark more than three years ago and it still holds true today — only the gap between the richest and the poorest has gotten even wider.
Here's how bad it is: Oxfam now calculates that the 85 richest billionaires on the planet, including the likes of Carlos Slim, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, have as much money as the 3.5 billion poorest people.
And for all the talk about the urgent need to address income inequality, the mega-rich just keep on getting richer.
How much richer?

Cartersville Travel Q&A


text: Tomas Jonsson, the Islander defenseman who suffered a multiple fracture of the jaw in a car accident in Detroit Jan. 22, received medical clearance to rejoin the team yesterday. Jonsson, who practiced Wednesday afternoon for only the second time since the accident, said his conditioning was acceptable but his timing was off. With just three regular-season games remaining and with Denis Potvin being used cautiously after his return Tuesday from a 17-game absence, the Islanders were undecided whether to use Jonsson tonight against Quebec.

Bought this to replace another lower quality system we bought on Amazon. The whole kit is great quality, camera resolution is high and it's very simple to setup.
Location: Maryland
Ordered the NVR242T it came very quickley, camera setup was easy, daylight camera quality is outstanding, having trouble with DDNS, remote not working, motion recording not working.
Location: Wichita, KS
The pictures make the cameras look as though they are not adjustable, however you can aim them any direction you desire. Connection and installation is very simple, no more complicated than hooking up any other home theater type of equipment.
Location: Florida
System set up was actually quite easy I just the followed the instructions that came with the system. The HD cameras have good quality picture. I think I have purchased quality security camera system.
Location: Toronto
So far so good, excellent quality for the price.
Location: new jersey
System set up local was simple with dvr recognizing the camera's, sign up and the installation guide has step by step proceedures, just follow instructions by the number. Customer service was helpful with questions bu a 10 min wait time. Internet connection is still pending due to my verizon router, Verizon has to help me with that But once teh router is configured I an ready for remote viewing. Some technical savy is needed but it is reasonably simple to get going. Hd daylight is exceptional, night vision is fair, if you want better night vision add more expensive camera's wit additional infrared sensors, That is why I bought the 2 camera system anticipating adding 2 better infrared camera's in future. I recommend it as a lower priced HD system with better quality day vision and easy setup.
Location: New England
This camera arrived promptly , but didn't work. We called tech support, they were great, but told us to return the camera. Lorex web provided a return label, and we promptly returned it. Per UPS, it has been received by Lorex on 9/12/14. When we didn't get our refund , we called several times, but the " call" was disconnected. Tried again yesterday 9/29/14, it's been weeks, and they admit the camera has been received, but the round was still not issued
Location: Ottawa, Canada
Not pleased. I purchased my system because I thought it had the ability to control the area that it would monitor for motion detection. When I started to configure the system it had the menu that would allow me to highlight sections to monitor and highlight area that I wanted to ignore for motion detection. Every time I went into this configuration it wouldn't keep the sections that I wanted to ignore or monitor. I noticed that a firmware upgrade was available so I hoped that was maybe something that they had fixed. After the firmware upgrade this option was completely missing so I contacted support and they told me my model didn't support this and they were sorry it was showing up in a earlier release of firmware.
Location: Home
So far so good. It shows extremely good picture and everything works perfectly. The only thing that I have is there is a street lamp close to one and it interferres with the IR night clarity some.
Location: Indiana
Very good quality, easy to set up, everything worked as advertised.
Location: Westminster
Placed order on May 31, 2014 for HD Model NVR242T security camera system with 2 HD Bullet cameras. Shipment arrived promptly however; the Bullet cameras were replaced with Dome cameras. Apparently, Lorex updated their web page on June 1, 2014 and the HD Model NVR242T security camera system has been replaced with 2 HD dome cameras. A call to customer service remedied the problem by swapping the received HD dome cameras with the HD bullet cameras that I ordered. I would also add that my phone call wait time was not unreasonable (less than 8 minutes). User manual is detailed but easy to understand. Although, I have not completely installed my system a trial run exhibited crystal clear HD quality images.
Location: Randolph NJ
Ordered the camera's the came a lot quicker then i thought they would. I have had to reach out to support about missing CAT5 cables minus it was over a holiday the next business day. Take care of. (i ended up not use the cat5 cables anyway i ran my own CAT6 wires, also used keystone jacks by the DVR looks really professional installed - but it was the principal they were suppose to cat5 cables be in the box with my camera) Also one of my camera is having some fogging issues.. NO questions asked they are send me a new replacement camera. Over all very impressed with the support. Cameras image is amazing on how clear it is.. Even with a network cable well over 75FT long. The POE is great so you dont have to run an extra cable for power or use those POE injectors like those cheap cameras on ebay. I would give it 5 stars but the small issues of with wiring missing on shipment and camera issues on new install just couldn't give it all 5 stars.. but support so far is 5 stars!
Location: New Jersey
When I received NVR, the on/off button did not work. I called customer service and am waiting a replacement NVR.

1Easy access to Fira, port, and shopping area 2 Maria , the hotel owner, is super helpful and friendly. She gave maps and offered guidance on renting cars, on traveling in Santorini, etc. Her husband offered us free ride to port !3 free food and wine inside the room 位置佳,老板很热情提供游览租车建议,还免费送我们去港口搭船,房间内有免费酒和食物
The rooms are very nice, clean and comfortable. The owner picked us up from the port to the hotel. Kiki gave us all the information we needed. Also we found food in the fridge which was included in the total price. We really enjoyed our time there, definitely we will come back!
Everything was perfect
Everything was as goods as was expected based on the good reviews. We liked the location within walking distance to the town center and at the same time quiet. Has private parking. Very clean and cosy. Felt more like home than hotel. Perfect place for very reasonable price.
1. The owner Marie is wonderful, she picked up my mother and I from the airport on time and also drove us to the bus station the day we checked out. She gave us all the information we needed and recommended some restaurants and they turned out to be nice. She was very helpful and made us feel at home. The most cheerful owner I have ever seen. 2. Nice location of the villa, ten minutes walk from the villa to Fira Center, easy to get around. 3. Room was clean and tidy, there were food in the fridge.
A little noisy by the road
The owners' familly are all enthusiastic and kindly, we feel very warmly. It's value for money.Recommend!
This a fantastic hotel, very clean rooms, comfortable bed and a nice wee kitchen to use. Plus there is a fridge in the room stocked with food for breakfast! I don't think that there is a better place to stay around here for this value. We were picked up from the port and after two nights returned to the port for our onwards journey for free! Thank you, we hope to return some day to your lovely hotel!
There is nothing not to like here!
The most kinf people in Santorini. great place to stay
Free pick up, free breakfast in the fridge; allowed us early check in in the morning and Mdm Maria served us hot drinks and breakfast; no complain even we decide cancel our tour booked with her; friendly of their family, walking distance to Fira main bus station;
Toilet a little bit humid; sound-proofing not that perfect, can hear next guest talking
Maria was amazing. She was so helpful and offered so much information on tours and info on the area. The apartment was spacious (besides the shower) and the breakfast items supplied for free were wonderful. There was also local wine in the room on arrival which was a really nice touch. Cleaners came everyday and left the room sparkling. The free pick up and drop off from the airport made life very easy. Only a short 5-10 min walk to the main area of Fira and lots of restaurants just up the street. Pool area was beautiful, just a shame it was too chilly to swim.
Shower was a small and water seemed to come out everywhere so the floor got pretty wet.
pick-up service,good breakfast essential,good kichen You can cook with the kitchen.
location,price It's token about 10 minutes to go to the central of the town.The price is expensive without seascape room.
Everything! Nice staff, the host pick us up at the port and send us to the local bus station for free. They offer the free wine as our honey moon gift. The location is good, very close to Fira central shopping area but quiet and private to get sleeping.
I stayed at Villa Rose for 2 nights, easy access and comfortable. Maria and Kiki are very nice and helpfull. They will prepare some light breakfast like drink, yogurt, bread, coffee in the fridge. Have no regret to stay here.
The service is perfect! The hosts are really kind and warm. Pick us up from airport and send us to bus station. Even helped me to print my boarding pass(it's a long and sad story...) In a word, it's really nice choice if you want to stay in Fira! Thank you again for all your help!
Space, location with supermarkets, bus station, Fora town nearby, well stocked fridge with drinks and some snacks, staff also friendly and helpful.
The overly small shower which floods every time we shower
First of all, I really appreciate to Family of Villa Rose. Airport pick up, drop off, information, maps, recommendation of restaurants... I got so much help from you. I thought I prepared enough but your suggestion was Excellent!!!! This place is real fortune for us to visit Santorini. If I go back to Santorini, it will all because of this place! Water, apple, coffee, juice, small pastries in refrigerator was great as well!
highly recommend this hotel, fair price for good quality of services. Staff is very nice and helpful. food and drink are provided for each day breakfast.
It was wonderful staying in Villa Rose.The owner were very nice and helpful.Pick up us from the airport and also take us to the bus station when the day we left.Telll us where we can see the best view in Fira.Anyway,Choose Villa Rose was the right decision.
Nothing!Everything is wonderful!
Hospitality. Good wifi speed. Though it says no breakfast, there is plenty of food in the fridge.
Family room is facing the road, it might be a little noisy for light sleepers.
Very nice place! The room has good facilities and is really clean. The location is good, 6 min to Fira or bus station on foot. The staff is excellent! They drived us to the port in the night for free even after we checked out.
A very comfortabel, clean, neat,beautifull place to stay, with the most friendly family business. An other plus point was that every day there was a botle of Santorini wine waiting for us. We really dekt at home and enjoyed our stay :)
There was a busy road next to the hotel
We had a super good experience here: the hostess was super friendly and helpful, she gave us every information that we needed during our stay and filled the fridge with drinks and snacks everyday. On the day we left her dad drove us to the main bus station. The room is super clean and comfortable, the garden and the swimming pool was cute.
Absolutely nothing. We will definitely come again.
The staff were all very friendly and very helpful. Our room was comfortable and practically furnished. Every day we were supplied with breakfast items and a glass of wine. The apartment location is convenient for town and local shops and restaurants.
Road noise could be a little loud at times.
This family owned hotel has great owners. I had a rental car to pick up at the airport and asked if they could call a cab. Instead, they said they would take us (for no charge). When they said let us know what we can do for you they meant it.
The whole Damigou family were so accommodating! They got out of their way to provide you their services especially the shuttle service from either the port or the airport. The experience in Santorini is very welcoming when they'll be the first ones to greet you with their hellos and goodbyes.
really friendly, willing to transfer us to the airport at midnight !
