FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) -- A year after the New England Patriots took advantage of Baltimore's late mistakes to advance to their fifth Super Bowl in 11 seasons, the rematch went to the Ravens.
"It seems like every year, it's us and them always fighting at the end," Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork said Sunday night after Baltimore beat New England 28-13 in the AFC championship game.
"You're looking at two good organizations, two good football teams, so I'm not going to downplay them one bit. They're a great football team. You know, the best team won tonight."
Joe Flacco threw for three second-half touchdowns and Tom Brady was intercepted twice to stall New England's comeback tries.
The Ravens and Patriots also met in the 2010 wild-card round -- a 33-14 Baltimore victory. Last year, the Patriots reached the NFL title game when Lee Evans dropped a potential winning touchdown in the end zone with 27 seconds left before Billy Cundiff missed a 32-yard field goal that would have forced overtime.
"With how the game last year ended, and who (No.) 12 is, and who their head coach is, and who their owner is ... you won't get another battle like this between two AFC opponents," Baltimore linebacker Terrell Suggs said. "We have the utmost respect for them."
The Patriots took a 13-7 lead on a 25-yard field goal right before halftime, but Baltimore took advantage of injuries that depleted New England's pass defense to outscore the Patriots 21-0 in the second half.
Flacco, who had just 81 yards passing at halftime, led Baltimore on a 10-play, 87-yard drive in the third quarter to take the lead. He then added a pair of touchdown passes to Anquan Boldin on back-to-back possessions to start the fourth.
Brady led New England down the field, completing six of seven passes in one stretch, before three straight incompletions turned the ball over on downs. After forcing a three-and-out, Brady connected with Wes Welker for a 36-yard catch-and-run but his next pass was tipped into the air by lineman Pernell McGee.
Dannell Ellerbe waited for it to come down and then cradled it in his arms as he went voluntarily to the turf, surrounded by a pair of celebrating teammates.
"You have the opportunity to win the game and we came up short," Brady said. "There's frustration in that we wish we could have done better. But they're not going to give it to you. We didn't earn it; they earned it. They played a good game."

August 25, 2004
PHOENIX - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross, a psychiatrist who revolutionized the way the world looks at terminally ill patients with her book "On Death and Dying" and later as a pioneer for hospice care, has died. She was 78.
Published in 1969, "On Death and Dying" focused on the needs of the dying and offered her theory that they go through five stages of grief - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
"Those who learned to know death, rather than to fear and fight it, become our teachers about life," she once wrote. In another passage, Kubler-Ross wrote: "Dying is nothing to fear. It can be the most wonderful experience of your life. It all depends on how you have lived."
She died Tuesday of natural causes at her Scottsdale home, family members said.
Kubler-Ross moved to Arizona nine years ago after a series of strokes left her partially paralyzed on her left side. In a 2002 interview with The Arizona Republic, Kubler-Ross said she was ready to die.
"I told God last night he's a damned procrastinator," she said then.
Kubler-Ross wrote 12 books after "On Death and Dying," including how to deal with the death of a child and an early study on the AIDS epidemic.
"She brought the taboo notion of death and dying into the public consciousness," said Stephen Connor, vice president of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization.
In 1979, she received the Ladies' Home Journal Woman of the Decade Award. In 1999, Time magazine named Kubler-Ross as one of the "100 Most Important Thinkers" of the past century.
Born in Zurich, Switzerland, Kubler-Ross graduated from medical school at the University of Zurich in 1957. She came to New York the following year and was appalled by hospital treatment of dying patients.
"Whoever has seen the horrifying appearance of the postwar European concentration camps would be similarly preoccupied," she said.
She began her work with the terminally ill at the University of Colorado Medical Center in Denver, and was a clinical professor of behavioral medicine and psychiatry at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville.
Kubler-Ross began giving lectures featuring terminally ill patients, who talked about what they were going through. That led to her 1969 book.
"Dying becomes lonely and impersonal because the patient is often taken out of his familiar environment and rushed to an emergency room," she wrote.
"He may cry for rest, peace and dignity, but he will get infusions, transfusions, a heart machine, or tracheostomy. ... He will get a dozen people around the clock, all busily preoccupied with his heart rate, pulse, electrocardiogram or pulmonary functions, his secretions or excretions - but not with him as a human being."
The most important thing Kubler-Ross did was bring death out of the dark for the medical community, said Carol Baldwin, a research associate professor of medicine at the University of Arizona and who worked as a nurse in one of the nation's first hospices in 1979.
"She really set the standards for how to communicate with the dying and their loved ones," Baldwin said recently. "Families learned that it's not a scary thing to watch someone die."
Kubler-Ross is survived her two children, Kenneth Ross and Barbara Lee Ross, and two granddaughters.
In a 2003 Associated Press interview, her son said that his mother, in her final months, was reaping the benefits of the movement she helped start, finding comfort in the constant companionship and dependable care of a group home.
"We get letters and e-mails from around the world," he said. "There's people who say, 'I was going to kill myself' because they've lost children or their husband or wife, and they read her book and it gave them a sense that they should go on."

Flavour - Latest Articles http://www.flavourjournal.com The latest research articles published by Flavour 2014-11-20T10:05:00Z Noise and its impact on the perception of food and drink Noise is currently the second most common complaint amongst restaurant-goers, behind poor service. In fact, over the last decade or two, many restaurants have become so loud that some critics now regularly report on the noise levels alongside the quality of the food. In this review, I first highlight the growing problem of noise in restaurants and bars and look at the possible causes. I then critically evaluate the laboratory-based research that has examined the effect of loud background noise on taste perception. I distinguish between the effect of noise on the taste, aroma/flavour, and textural properties of food and drink. Taken together, the evidence now clearly demonstrates that both background noise and loud music can impair our ability to taste food and drink. It would appear that noise selectively impairs the ability to detect tastes such as sweet and sour while leaving certain other taste and flavour experiences relatively unaffected. Possible neuroscientific explanations for such effects are outlined, and directions for future research highlighted. Finally, having identified the growing problem with noise in restaurants, I end by looking at some of the possible solutions and touch on the concept of silent dining. Charles Spence Flavour 2014, null:9 2014-11-20T10:05:00Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-9 /content/figures/2044-7248-3-9-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 9 2014-11-20T10:05:00Z XML A large sample study on the influence of the multisensory environment on the wine drinking experience Background: We report on what may well be the world's largest multisensory tasting experiment. Over a period of 4 days in May 2014, almost 3,000 people sampled a glass of red wine in a room in which the colour of the lighting and/or the music was changed repeatedly. The participants rated the wine, presented in a black tasting glass, on taste, intensity and liking scales while standing in each of four different environments over a period of 7 to 8 minutes. During the first 2 days (Experiment 1), the participants rated the wine while exposed to white lighting, red lighting, green lighting with music designed to enhance sourness and finally under red lighting paired with music associated with sweetness. During the latter 2 days of the event (Experiment 2), the same wine was rated under white lighting, green lighting, red lighting with sweet music and finally green lighting with sour music. Results: In Experiment 1, the wine was perceived as fresher and less intense under green lighting and sour music, as compared to any of the other three environments. On average, the participants liked the wine most under red lighting while listening to sweet music. A similar pattern of results was reported in Experiment 2. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that the environment can exert a significant influence on the perception of wine (at least in a random sample of social drinkers). We outline a number of possible explanations for how the sensory properties of the environment might influence the perception of wine. Finally, we consider some of the implications of these results for the wine drinking experience. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/8 Charles Spence Carlos Velasco Klemens Knoeferle Flavour 2014, null:8 2014-10-01T11:15:00Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-8 A multisensory wine drinking experiment One of the world's largest multisensory tasting experiments suggests that the multisensory environment in which we drink can exert a significant influence on our perception of wine. /content/figures/2044-7248-3-8-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 8 2014-10-01T11:15:00Z XML A taste of Kandinsky: assessing the influence of the artistic visual presentation of food on the dining experience Background: Researchers have demonstrated that a variety of visual factors, such as the colour and balance of the elements on a plate, can influence a diner's perception of, and response to, food. Here, we report on a study designed to assess whether placing the culinary elements of a dish in an art-inspired manner would modify the diner's expectations and hence their experience of food. The dish, a salad, was arranged in one of three different presentations: One simply plated (with all of the elements of the salad tossed together), another with the elements arranged to look like one of Kandinsky's paintings, and a third arrangement in which the elements were organized in a neat (but non-artistic) manner. The participants answered two questionnaires, one presented prior to and the other after eating the dish, to evaluate their expectations and actual sensory experience. Results: Prior to consumption, the art-inspired presentation resulted in the food being considered as more artistic, more complex, and more liked than either of the other presentations. The participants were also willing to pay more for the Kandinsky-inspired plating. Interestingly, after consumption, the results revealed higher tastiness ratings for the art-inspired presentation. Conclusions: These results support the idea that presenting food in an aesthetically pleasing manner can enhance the experience of a dish. In particular, the use of artistic (visual) influences can enhance a diner's rating of the flavour of a dish. These results are consistent with previous findings, suggesting that visual display of a food can influence both a person's expectations and their subsequent experience of a dish, and with the common assumption that we eat with our eyes first. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/7 Charles Michel Carlos Velasco Elia Gatti Charles Spence Flavour 2014, null:7 2014-06-20T03:00:01Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-7 A taste of Kandinsky An artistically arranged salad was rated as more liked and diners were willing to pay more to eat it, compared to control salads, showing that presentation of food is an important factor in liking /content/figures/2044-7248-3-7-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 7 2014-06-20T03:00:01Z XML Plating manifesto (II): the art and science of plating It is well known that people serve themselves more, not to mention eat more, when dining from larger bowls and plates than from smaller ones. But what about the other visual qualities of the plateware? Does the colour, shape and finish also influence a diner's behaviour? How important are these extrinsic visual properties, or even the visual arrangement of the elements on the plate itself, in terms of modulating a diner's eating behaviours and experiences? At a time when so much is known about the influence of the colour of individual food products on taste and flavour perception, and when so many modernist restaurants are using an increasingly eclectic range of visual designs for their dishes, there has been surprisingly little scientific research on how the more complex visual properties and arrangement of food presentations may affect the diner. Below, we argue that the exploration of these effects constitutes the next natural step in an increasingly fruitful interdisciplinary collaboration between chefs, psychologists, sensory scientists and designers. The most important research questions, then, are to identify the kinds of effects that the presentation style has on the multisensory consumption experiences and behaviours of diners, and to study the interactions between the different visual cues that are provided. Taken together, the evidence reviewed here helps to emphasize the fact that getting both the plateware and the plating right constitute surprisingly important components to sublimate the flavours of the food, in the delivery and experience of a great meal. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/4 Charles Spence Betina Piqueras-Fiszman Charles Michel Ophelia Deroy Flavour 2014, null:4 2014-05-20T09:04:14Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-4 /content/figures/2044-7248-3-4-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 4 2014-05-20T09:04:14Z XML The plating manifesto (I): from decoration to creation At a time when a growing number of chefs and innovative food industries are starting to set up their own research kitchens and work with renowned scientists, it is surprising to see that issues related to the visual presentation of food on the plate are being left out of these successful exchanges. The variety of presentations created by chefs, and the number of varieties of tableware now available to achieve them, represent a formidable opportunity for cognitive scientists to study the more complex effects of vision on food experiences, which certainly should not be missed. Chefs can also benefit from the new insights that a scientific approach can bring to these areas, which previously have often been left to intuition. In this manifesto, we claim that this transfer of knowledge represents much more than merely another addition to the art and science of cuisine: it is its essential completion, as gastronomy moves more and more toward the ideal of a total multisensory art, as captivating for the eye as it is for the palate. Before turning to the scientific recommendations and review in the second part of our manifesto, we want to promote a different approach to plating, which breaks with the more functional and decorative purposes of plate ware, and puts experiments in visual presentation at the heart of modernist culinary expression. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/6 Ophelia Deroy Charles Michel Betina Piqueras-Fiszman Charles Spence Flavour 2014, null:6 2014-05-15T09:01:27Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-6 /content/figures/2044-7248-3-6-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 6 2014-05-15T09:01:27Z XML Can you find the golden ratio in your plate? A scientific approach to plating needs to be based on perceivers' responses and anticipate possible cultural and individual differences. It cannot just follow common sense principles, whose validity remain untested and only attract journalists' attention, like the claim that people will prefer food composition based on the golden ratio. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/5 Ophelia Deroy Charles Spence Flavour 2014, null:5 2014-03-03T01:00:01Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-5 /content/figures/2044-7248-3-5-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 5 2014-03-03T01:00:01Z XML Does the type of receptacle influence the crossmodal association between colour and flavour? A cross-cultural comparison Background: We report a cross-cultural study designed to investigate whether the type of receptacle in which a coloured beverage is presented influences the colour-flavour associations that consumers make. Participants from the United States of America (USA) and China were shown photographs of red, green, yellow, blue, orange, brown, and clear liquids in a water glass, a wine glass, a cocktail glass, and a plastic cup. Results: The two groups of participants exhibited different colour-flavour associations for the green, yellow, orange, and brown drinks when these were presented in the different receptacles, suggesting some interesting interactions between the receptacle, colour, and flavour. Cross-cultural differences were also observed in the colour-flavour associations for red and blue drinks that were independent of the type of container in which the drinks were presented. Conclusions: These findings highlight the existence of an interaction between contextual factors (the receptacle in which a drink is presented) and the cultural background of our participants (China versus the USA) in terms of colour-flavour associations. Such results raise interesting questions regarding the underlying mechanisms responsible for these effects.

The air stewards have, and when you ask the people who order, they will tell you that they rarely order such a drink at any other time. Could it be that umami-rich tomato provides one of the only basic tastes that is relatively unaffected by the loud background noise that one is exposed to while in flight? That is the research suggestion, or hypothesis, outlined in this opinion piece. Should such a claim be validated by future research, the potential application for airline catering could be huge. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/2 Charles Spence Charles Michel Barry Smith Flavour 2014, null:2 2014-02-20T08:03:42Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-2 /content/figures/2044-7248-3-2-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 2 2014-02-20T08:03:42Z XML Colour influences sensory perception and liking of orange juice Background: This study assesses the effect of slight hue variations in orange juice (reddish to greenish) on perceived flavour intensity, sweetness, and sourness, and on expected and actual liking. A commercial orange juice (COJ) was selected as a control, and colour-modified orange juices were prepared by adding red or green food dyes (ROJ and GOJ) that did not alter the flavour of the juice. A series of paired comparison tests were performed by 30 naive panellists to determine the influence of orange juice colour on flavour intensity, sweetness, and sourness. Then, 100 orange juice consumers were asked to rate expected liking of orange juice samples initially by visual evaluation and subsequently for actual liking upon consumption, using a labelled affective magnitude scale. Results: Results of pair comparison tests indicated that colour changes did not affect flavour intensity and sweetness, but the greenish hue (GOJ) significantly increased the perceived sourness. Results of the consumers' study indicated significant differences in expected liking between the orange juice samples, with ROJ having the highest expected liking. However, scores of actual liking after consumption were not significantly different. COJ and GOJ showed a significant increase in actual liking compared to expected liking. Conclusions: This study shed light on how slight variations in orange juice hue (reddish to greenish hues) affect the perceived flavour intensity, sweetness, and sourness, and the expected and actual liking of orange juice. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/3/1/1 Rocío Fernández-Vázquez Louise Hewson Ian Fisk Dolores Vila Francisco Jose Mira Isabel Vicario Joanne Hort Flavour 2014, null:1 2014-01-17T10:00:00Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-3-1

 /content/figures/2044-7248-3-1-toc.gif Flavour 2044-7248 ${item.volume} 1 2014-01-17T10:00:00Z XML Looking for crossmodal correspondences between classical music and fine wine Background: Wine writers sometimes compare wines to pieces of music, a particular musical style or artist, or even to specific musical parameters. To date, though, it is unclear whether such comparisons merely reflect the idiosyncratic matches of the writers concerned or whether instead they reflect more general crossmodal matching tendencies that would also be shared by others (e.g., social drinkers). In our first experiment, we looked for any consensual patterns of crossmodal matching across a group of 24 participants who were presented with four distinctive wines to taste. In our second experiment, three of the wines were presented with and without music and 26 participants were asked to rate the perceived sweetness, acidity, alcohol level, fruitiness, tannin level, and their own enjoyment of the wines. Results: The results of experiment 1 revealed the existence of a significant agreement amongst the participants in terms of specific classical music - fine wine pairings that appeared to go particularly well (or badly) together. For example, Tchaikovsky's String Quartet No 1 in D major turned out to be a very good match for the Château Margaux 2004 (red wine). Meanwhile, Mozart's Flute Quartet in D major, K285 was found to be a good match for the Pouilly Fumé (white wine). The results of experiment 2 revealed that participants perceived the wine as tasting sweeter and enjoyed the experience more while listening to the matching music than while tasting the wine in silence. Conclusions: Taken together, the results of the two experiments reported here suggest that people (social drinkers) share a number of crossmodal associations when it comes to pairing wines and music. Furthermore, listening to the appropriate classical music can enhance the overall experience associated with drinking wine. As such, our findings provide prima facie evidence to support the claim that comparing a wine to a particular style of music (as documented in the work of a number of wine writers) might provide the social drinker with useful clues about the sensory properties that they should expect to perceive in a wine should they eventually get to taste it. http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/2/1/29 Charles Spence Liana Richards Emma Kjellin Anna-Maria Huhnt Victoria Daskal Alexandra Scheybeler Carlos Velasco Ophelia Deroy Flavour 2013, null:29 2013-12-19T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/2044-7248-2-29

iPad mini and 4th-generation iPad gallery
Summary: Here's a quick look at the differences between the iPad mini and the 4th-generation iPad.
8 of 11Image
4th-gen, 3rd-gen, and iPad mini comparison
With the iPad mini and the 4th-gen iPad comes a change to the text at the bottom on the back. Where the size of your model used to be indicated (as seen on the 3rd-gen iPad at the bottom of the pile), there is now just branding and other misc. information. To know how much space is in an iPad now, you must check system settings.

Mario's Del Posto Restaurant..........
Can you offer any advice. Would you go in December. I was told to let them have a little time to work out the kinks. Their website looks pretty nice. Thanks.
Had dinner there about 2 months ago, it was great. The chocolate/rum dessert alone makes it worth it.
The decor/atmosphere is horrible. I felt like I was eating in the lobby of a Casino.
The food is okay, but nothing that great. I'd go to Babbo or even Lupa any day of the week over Del Posto.
there is a little trick that makes it a reasonable ($$$) way to try out Del Posto. Call the day of for the Enoteca seating. This is near the bar area, but is esentially the same as the rest of the place. The menu items you can choose from are the same as the rest of the restaurant but a little smaller and 1/2 the price, plus there is an inexpensive tasting menu. Call first thing that day to reserve a spot.
This was all in a Frank Bruni article a few months ago
As for the food, it was very good to excellent depending on the dish. Recommended!

Last week's recipe post did two things for me:
1. Made me hungry
2. Made me think about farmhouse pantries
And let me just say that I L-O-V-E: love, love, love farmhouse pantries!
They are designed with open shelves that allow us to gaze on wonderful items that have been canned, jarred, or pickled---homemade goodies, prepared with care to save for a special occasion...or for a stormy day...or to share with a neighbor.
Sometimes they are a place to hang favorite aprons used by generations of grandmothers and mothers---many of them worn or tattered, or even stained, which makes them even more priceless in my eyes.
And let's talk about dishes! Great shelving in a pantry can provide a place to store (and display) favorite collections of dishes often tied to wonderful memories of family gatherings around the supper table.
Many favorite family recipes get their start in the farmhouse pantry, born out of wonderful vintage bins filled with just the right staples.
And what a great place to keep cookbooks and recipe cards that have been passed down with love!
Some pantries are found behind fun doors, while others are beautiful,
open extensions of kitchens.
And the one thing they all have in common? They are all stocked with love!
Did I mention that I LOVE farmhouse pantries?
How about you?
What are some of your favorite farmhouse pantry designs or staples?

The Zinfandels, much like the robust libation, are meant to be enjoyed with company at at a leisurely pace. This Garden Grove rock quartet creates mellow, yet intricate music that hearken back to the days of psychedelic rock--without the bad trip. The sound of their soft, upbeat rhythms combined with nearly hypnotic guitar melodies and feather-light vocals will put you in a groove you won't want to snap out of. What makes this event even better is the venue. Located in the Santa Fe train depot, the Santa Fe Express Cafe is a hidden gem that serves up some of OC's finest local bands... as well as one hell of a quesadilla! Come for the tunes, the trains and the great vibes.

The Crete region
The Prefecture of Rethymno is the heart of the island of Crete and is one of the most beautiful places in Greece. Rethymno awaits you with clear blue seas and Mount Psiloritis, there are traces of a civilisation that dates back 4,500 years, numerous Byzantine churches and monasteries, enchanting Venetian monuments, the most well-preserved Renaissance city in Greece, with endless beaches, caves, gorges and unique flora and fauna.
Rethymno and its villages are live postcards, which are pervaded by the aroma of Cretan cuisine and the sound of the Cretan lyre.
People live here amidst nature and emotions, outside the code of behavior found in big cities. No matter where you go, be it even to the most isolated village, our people will open their doors to you to treat you to a "tsikoudia" and befriend you.
Rethymno is the homeland of Zeus, the god of Hospitality. The great number of visitors who return repeatedly confirms the words of the poet: "Rethymno is not a place where you go to, but a place where you return."
This is the Rethymno we offer you as an alternative for your holidays and we invite you to discover it.
Panormo is a friendly, typically Greek, seaside village on the north coast of Crete. It has a very warm and friendly atmosphere and is an ideal holiday base for people wanting to stay in Crete. Once you land in Heraklion, it is very straightforward to get to Panormo by using the New National Road, which runs almost the length of Crete, along the north coast. As Greek roads go, it's a very good one, but think more "A1" than motorway! Depending on how quickly you drive, it should take between 45 and 55 minutes from Heraklion Airport. In the village of Panormo itself, there are narrow streets to explore; it's the perfect place for those who want to escape a little and enjoy the peace and tranquility of Cretan life. There is a good selection of cafes, traditional tavernas, a butcher, a baker (hot, fresh bread every morning from 9am!) and shops where you can sample the local food and drink at very reasonable prices.
If you have children, Panormo is ideal. This is not only because they are given a warm welcome in the village, but because there are lovely sand and pebble beaches to play on. The sea is gently shelving, beaches are well protected and there are interesting rock pools to explore.
For older children, there are numerous options including swimming / snorkelling in the sea. Watersports such as pedalos, banana boats, jetskis are available at the main beach. There is a scuba diving centre at the Creta Marine Hotel, on the outskirts of the village. Additionally, there is a snack bar with pool tables on the harbour front and tennis courts on the outskirts of the village, if you're feeling particularly energetic.
Also Bali which was a small fishing village, but over the years has become a charming touring village, overlooking the little fishing harbour and the sea. It is a very attractive and romantic place, combining sea and mountains. Life is easy going enjoying the sun and the clear calm sea at a number of sandy and shingly beaches. Bali offers a large choice of taverns, restaurants, little shops, diving school, bars and discos.
Finally, should you feel like having a late night out or do some shopping, you can drive to the lively city of Rethymno, a 15min drive away.

"Please daddy, I don't want to go home"
Two families, four adults and a total of seven children (aged 6 to 14) stayed here in August 2013. Oh what a find.....From the very moment we drove in through the electronic security gates we known we had found a little bit of paradise in Crete. The Villa is ideal for a large group or two families as it is actually split into two apartments, one on the ground floor and one above - and they are almost identical. Every day for two weeks we swam, relaxed, enjoyed the huge garden, eat too much and some people would also say drank a little too much as well. But when you have hosts as generous as the owners of Villa Ioanna, you can't but eat and drink too much! Every few days we received wonderful food parcels - one day it was kilos and kilos of grapes or watermelons, the next it was wonderful sweets deserts and ice cream. Coupled with the fridge and cupboards that were already full of fruit, veg, milk, butter, tea, coffee (the list goes on and on...) as well as a few bottles of local raki. But the highlight had to be the wonderful lunch that was cooked for us in the outside ovens at the villa - lamb and wild boar with salads, potatoes and more raki than I care to remember!
The Villa is located just a few mins drive to Panormo good for the local bakery, supermarket, cash machine and also post office. Perama is slightly bigger and again has a good selection of shops (drive over the Iron bridge, up the hill and you'll get to the main shopping street).
The villa is ideally located for a range of days out. But be prepared, if you haven't driven in Greece before, it's certainly an experience. We visited Knossos, Chania, Rethymnon, Arkadi, Melidoni Cave, Margarites and the villages in the Amari valley as well as beaches at Bali, Elafonissi and Preveli to name but a few. Be prepared if you are going to Preveli beach, its a long unmade road and when we were there, it was fairly windy. If you are going to Elafonissi, then it's just a long way....
The highlight too many to mentioned.
The one slight downside is the little dirt road as you approach the villa, it's not that easy to spot from the main road from Panormo to Perama. Small hint, you can just see the villa from the road, so just keep a watch for it, especially if it is at night.

"Oh wow, fantastic, the villa was everything we expected and more!"
The villa was just soooo fabulous we had to tear ourselves away to go sightseeing. Apart from all the usual touristy places & things to do we also discovered a village called Margarites only 12km away… More

The words that I've said I meant when I spoke
and remember my words of wisdom
feck'em if you can't take a joke.
-Brian O'Toole
Perfection is something that cannot be achieved,
it is something that we strive for.
-Jara McKee
A man's best friend is his mother until he meets his wife.
Here's to Hell!
May the stay there be as fun as the way there!
May there be spring enough in your life
to outlast the winters;
May there be guitars (and drums) enough
to lift your spirits whenever you need it;
May you be gentle enough to comfort those who are hurting,
But revolutionary enough to bring heaven to those who need it now.
May there always be a leprechaun near you
to bring out laughter and dance and the child in you.
And may God always have room enough for you in the palm of his hand!
- Donated by Gregory Hicks
May all your ups and downs be under the sheets.
- Patrick Ryan
A boy may kiss his girl goodbye,
The sun may kiss the butterfly,
The wine may kiss the crystal glass,
And you, my friend, may kiss my ass.

Several of my ancestors had this day as their special day:
John Henry BLAGDON, born 18 January 1902 in Millbrook, Cornwall. I remember "Uncle John" (although in reality he was my great-uncle). No child was ever allowed to go into "Uncle John"'s room, and always had to do the seen-and-not-heard thing around him. Apparently, he was my Nan's older brother and it was his house; she had been promised it after his death. He was the son of John BLAGDON and Susan Emma FARLEY.
George EDGCOMBE, my great-great-grandfather, was born on 18 January 1838 in South Milton, Devon. He married his cousin, Mary Ann EDGCOMBE - their fathers were brothers.
Richard HARLEY, christened on 18 January 1794 in South Pool, Devon, was my 1st cousin 5 times removed. He was the son of James HARLEY and Deborah GOODYEAR.
Honor ELLIOT was my 7th great-great-aunt, and was christened on 18 January 1678 in Modbury, Devon. Her parents were William ELLYOTT and Margery BEERE.
