In Mod Quilt Sampler Part 2 of 3 you will learn the next 2 blocks of this needlepoint project. You will be one step closer to completing this awesome quilt by following this part of the Mod Quilt Sampler series!
Here are the second two squares of the Mod Sampler Quilt. One is a check, the other a stripe. Although I haven't stitched them yet, they will go in diagonal rows down the quilt.
I'm not entirely happy with the yellows I picked. There's not enough contrast. While I know there isn't much margin for contract in yellow, I think I can do better. So I'm going to pull out the duller yellow and replace it.
The checked block is stitched in this version of Genny's Scotch Stitch. The original stitch goes over six threads, this goes over 5, so the longest stitch has been taken out.
By dividing some of the longer stitches, a pretty pattern is made within each block. I love this idea and have made many variations of this stitch.
This block is stitched in orchid.
The striped block uses Alternating Diagonal Gobelin over 5. Each stripe is stitched in a different direction. This block is yellow.
In the second row, the check is stitched in yellow, the stripe in apricot.
In the third row, the check is stitched in apricot, the stripe in red.

HI Marc.
You need to put http:// in front of the hyperlink URL, so we can click straight through. It's not working at the moment.

Israeli reservists slam leaders
By Jeffrey Heller
JERUSALEM (Reuters) – Israeli reservists on Monday took the
front line in a campaign to hold government leaders and top
army officers to account for a war in Lebanon that failed to
crush Hizbollah guerrillas or halt a daily rain of rockets.
In a protest reminiscent of the early days of
demonstrations that ultimately brought down Israeli leaders
after political and military blunders in the 1973 Middle East
war, some 100 people, many of them reservists, vented their
anger in Jerusalem.
The demonstrators set up a protest tent in a park on the
edge of the government office compound in the city. Some called
on Prime Minister Ehud Olmert and Defense Minister Amir Peretz
to resign.
"The government didn't take seriously the lives of our
troops," said Zvi Marek, a reserve infantry soldier at the
In a separate protest, reservists from the Spearhead
Paratroop Brigade complained in an open letter in the Haaretz
newspaper that the 34-day war was marked by indecisiveness at
the top.
Hundreds of soldiers signed the document, published a week
after a ceasefire went into effect. The manifesto demanded a
broad state inquiry into the actions of government leaders and
top military brass.
Olmert, surveying damage in Kiryat Shmona, a border town
hit by more than 900 rockets, faced similar calls from local
officials for a state inquiry, which would have powers to
question the prime minister.
"I won't be part of this game of self-flagellation. I won't
be part of this game of slandering the army as some would like
to do," Olmert replied.
But he repeated a promise to launch an investigation into
the conduct of the war and said Israel's attorney-general would
soon present recommendations on the inquiry's format and
In their letter, the reservists pointedly did not challenge
the decision to go to war after Hizbollah seized two Israeli
soldiers in a cross-border raid on July 12, reflecting a
national consensus that the campaign was justified.
But they raised questions about how the government and
senior officers pursued a campaign in which the Israeli
military failed to deliver a knockout blow to the Lebanese
group or prevent it from firing nearly 4,000 missiles into
Israeli decision-makers, the letter said, got "cold feet"
during the fighting, an approach which the reservists alleged
led to the cancellation of all the brigade's missions.
"This led to prolonged stays in hostile territory without
an operational purpose and out of unprofessional
considerations, without seeking to engage in combat with the
One security official, who asked not to be identified
because he was not authorized to speak to the media, told
Reuters that military intelligence on Hizbollah's strength and
positions in southern Lebanon had been inadequate.
The official said troops were often sent into villages with
little idea of the type of opposition they would face.
An Israeli general, in broadcast remarks, said the military
had been "guilty of the sin of arrogance" in its approach to
the war. Brigadier-General Yossi Heiman's comments appeared to
justify growing public criticism of how the campaign was waged.

Here is the Reds Hot Stove League show report for 2-13-08. Thom was the host tonight. Thom said that he didn't want to talk about the steroid hearings today and then proceeded to talk about them. He found it mind boggling why these guys would lie. He then talked a bit about the county Sarasota is in allocating funds for renovating the ST stadium.
After commercial the first caller asked when the first broadcast is and what are Craig Wilson's chances of making the team. Thom said that he didn't think he has too good of a shot because of the OF depth but he does play 1st. He said he has had some good yeas even though he strikes out a lot. He said when he puts the bat on the ball he hits it a long ways and is pretty versatile for not being real athletic. (He's no Steve Finley) Thom said the first broadcast will be on Feb 27.
The next caller asked what the status is on the grievance the Reds filed against the Nats and is it typical for the decision to take this long. (No kidding. There have been babies born that are walking and talking since this grievance was filed.) Thom said that he didn't know how you rectify something like that. (Gee, I don't know. Money, a player, a draft pick, revoking JimBo's shopping privileges at Wilson's) He said there's no new news these grievances are filed infrequently. He doesn't have any idea and no ones talking about it.
After commercial, the next caller said that Clemens' ego has convinced himself that he is telling the truth. ("If you believe it, it's not a lie" - George Costanza) Thom said that someone is lying and someone is telling the truth and he can't understand what leads someone to lie and lie and lie. The caller asked who has the most to lose in this situation. The caller asked what could Lofton bring to the Reds. Thom said he could bring a great deal to the Reds. He said he's not endorsing signing him but Lofton serves as a LH leadoff hitter who can play CF and is still a good player. If the Reds don't feel Bruce is ready, Thom said Lofton would be an excellent fallback. The caller said he would bring good character in the clubhouse. Thom said that earlier in his career he wasn't the most liked guy in the world. He said he used to be extremely standoffish, bad with the fans and press and could get away with it cause he was so great. However he has heard he has mellowed somewhat in recent years. He said he's not a troublemaker but just not the most popular guy.
The next caller asked about a possible Joe Blanton trade. He wouldn't trade our best young players for him and said he's mediocre. Thom said he's not Dan Haren but he's a good pitcher. He said the dilemma is if you bring him in and pay him a lot of money for the next few years or gamble the young pitchers can match those numbers. Thom said he'd rather see the young guys take their lumps than trade the future.
The next caller asked why the Reds would go after Paul Bako. Thom said he had no idea. The caller asked about Josh Fogg. Thom said there were rumors about him and he's still unsigned. He goes on about Livan Hernandez signing with the Twins and proclaimed his undying love for him.
After commercial the next caller is afraid that Blanton could be another Milton. Thom said he wouldn't for a second compare the two. Blanton is much younger, and Milton had a lot of years in MIN where he didn't do anything. Blanton hasn't been in the big leagues a real long time but he has been successful. The caller asked if getting Lofton would hinder Bruce's ABs. (Of course it wouldn't. Bruce would be getting plenty of ABs in LOU. Where do they get these guys?) Thom said it would definitely make a statement and that's an interesting dilemma. The caller asked who the leadoff hitter would be if Bruce is starting in CF. Thom said it would have to be Bruce. Thom compared him to Grady SIzemore and thinks Bruce can handle whatever is thrown at him. (Yeah, but can he handle Ryan Freel running into him?)
The next caller whined about the steroid hearings. Thom said that some good has come out of them like stricter tests. The caller also whined about the Reds trading Josh Hamilton and possibly bringing in Lofton. Thom said Josh is very talented but they wonder how durable he is and the Reds need pitching. The caller continued to whine about how the Reds rent veteran players for a year or so and stunt the young players' growth. Thom said that there are still a lot of good young players on this team and they are heading in the right direction.
After commercial the next caller asked what Cueto's chances of making the Reds out of ST were. Thom said that he would like to think they are very good. the 4th and 5th spots are wide open and Browning said that Cueto is very savvy and polished and is only 22 years old.
The next caller wanted to know if other GMs are asking for more from Wayne than they are from other GMs as far as trading goes. Thom said he can't blame them for asking. The caller wanted to know if the other GMs don't respect Wayne enough to ask for lesser players. Thom said that that isn't the case. (Interesting question...for once)
After commercial the next caller asked if they could name the stadium for Joe. Thom said he didn't know and they are gong to do a lot of things for Joe and when you look around the stadium, you see the "rounding third..." thing on the stadium and his statue outside.
The next caller felt if the Reds made another trade for a pitcher they could make the playoffs. Thom said that the Reds need to have a lot of things go right. He said that over the last several years, teams who have gotten at least 60 wins out of their rotation have made the playoffs. He asked if there were 60 wins in this rotation. He said there are going to have to be 2-3 guys to do what they never have done and have Arroyo and Harang stay healthy. The caller asked about Lofton and he thinks it would be a good move since he's a proven veteran.
Thus endeth the Reds Hot Stove League show report for 2-13-08. So let it be written. So let it be done.

Monk (Revision 67)
Edit Page Last Edit: 2 years 3 months ago
According to a description by Ron Gilbert, the Monk is "searching for his master and is on a journey of peace and enlightenment." The Monk's special ability involves being able to "summon" items that are visible, on-screen, to him. The item must have a clear path (no walls or closed passages) to the monk in order for him to "summon" it.

Questions & Answers about Moshiach and the Redemption
Why do you bother getting out of bed in the morning?
What does the word "Moshiach" mean? When will Moshiach come? What exactly will happen when Moshiach comes?
Is it true that he shall suddenly appear on a main street in Jerusalem, a poor old man spewing forth wisdom and declaring the time of redemption has arrived? If so, why will they not lock him up?
From what I've read, it seems like we will automatically do the right thing. And without any decisions to make, won't life be pretty boring?
You're always talking about how the world is ready and prepared for the Age of Moshiach. I don't see it. It looks like a pretty awful world to me...
Here's one I always wanted to know: What if you're living in Jerusalem? Do you say the prayer/wish, "Next year in Jerusalem!" or just leave that line out?
Moshiach and Mortgage Brokers
The mortgage broker is an impartial intermediary between the lender and the borrower. Moshiach plays a not-so-different role...
Are we allowed to calculate the end of days?
Six days a week we work, and on the Shabbat we rest and enjoy the fruits of our labor; the same is true with millenniums...
The fighting and unrest is because every entity feels itself to be a distinct identity, at odds with everything else which might impede its own desires or needs...

SOURCE: South Florida Sun-SentinelBY: Ira Winderman
Moved to action after seeing a disturbing television report of the stabbing murder of a 28-year-old Ontario single mother who left behind a son with cerebral palsy, Miami Heat center Jamaal Magloire has reached out to the family.
A Toronto native, Magloire said he was heartbroken after learning of the death of Lucita Charles and the circumstances of the family. He has agreed to pay the funeral costs and is in the process of establishing a trust fund for her 7-year-old special-needs son, having previously known neither.
"Now that the mother is gone, it really took its toll on what's going to happen to the child now," said Magloire, who remains in contact with the victim's sister. "A lot of times, when we see crimes on TV, we don't know what we can do to help, we just kind of feel this sense of sympathy. I don't want to do it by words, I want to do it by example."
The 32-year-old 10-year NBA veteran said he plans to make a "substantial contribution" to the child's trust fund and make the family part of his fundraising activities.
"I've already tried to help other people who are going through turmoil," he said, "but this is something that I'm really trying to get to take off"
Information on how to donate will be available shortly. If you would like to be emailed with details, please send an email to
SOURCE: South Florida Sun-SentinelBY: Ira Winderman
MIAMI - From the mannerisms to the gritty playing approach to what no longer adorns his body, Jamaal Magloire is about as old school as it gets on the Heat roster.
"He's 30 going on 40," teammate Udonis Haslem jokes. "His body is certainly 30 going on 40."
To a degree, the Canadian-born, Kentucky-schooled center stands as a throwback. In an age of flash and flamboyance, Magloire has gone austere.
As recently as last season, you just might have noticed the tattoo on his left bicep, the one that read, "Mister Magloire." Now, there barely is a shadow.
"I got my tattoo in high school, and I was in a different frame of mind," he says after another sweat-drenched workout. "I'm just getting older, a little more conservative. I have a son coming up and just want to lead by example."

The Miami HEAT announced today that they have signed free agent center Jamaal Magloire. Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed.
"We are very fortunate to be able to come to terms with Jamaal Magloire," said HEAT President Pat Riley. "We feel that he will dramatically support our post position. He is an excellent rebounder with a big body. On the defensive end he will plug up the paint and the offensive end he can score. We feel that this is definitely the right place for him to re-energize his career."
A former NBA All-Star (2004), Magloire has averaged 8.6 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1.03 blocks and 24.2 minutes during an eight-year NBA career which has included stints with the Hornets (Charlotte: 2000-02 and New Orleans: 2002-05), the Milwaukee Bucks (2005-06), the Portland Trail Blazers (2006-07), the New Jersey Nets (2007-08) and the Dallas Mavericks (2007-08). In his 537 NBA regular season games he has connected on 47.9 percent of his field goal attempts. Additionally, Magloire has appeared in 36 postseason contests and has averaged 9.1 points, 6.3 rebounds, 1.11 blocks while hitting 47.7 percent of his field goal attempts.
Four times in his career the 6'11", 265-pound center has appeared in all 82 games during a season and five times in the past seven seasons he has played at least 81 games. His best season occurred during the 2003-04 campaign with the New Orleans Hornets where he was selected as an Eastern Conference All-Star and averaged career highs in both points (13.6 ppg) and rebounds (10.3 rpg) and was one of just 11 players in the NBA that season to average a double-double. He topped the Eastern Conference in scoring in the 2004 NBA All-Star Game with 19 points. Magloire finished the 2003-04 season ranked among the NBA leaders in offensive rebounding (5th), overall rebounding (7th) and field goal percentage (tied for 27th).
Magloire split the 2007-08 season between the New Jersey Nets and the Dallas Mavericks. He saw action in 31 games (two starts) and averaged 1.8 points, 2.9 rebounds and 9.2 minutes.
SOURCE: Mavs.comBY Art Garcia
The Mavericks filled a need for a true backup center Tuesday by signing free agent Jamaal Magloire, a former All-Star waived by New Jersey last week.
Magloire (6-11, 265) will practice Wednesday and be available for Thursday night's visit to San Antonio. The 29-year-old helps fill the void left when Gana Diop was shipped to the Nets as part of the Jason Kidd trade.
We're very fortunate to be able to acquire Jamaal Magloire, president of basketball operations Donnie Nelson said. We were concerned about our backup center spot after the trade and this will provide us some much needed depth.
Magloire has played sparingly this season his first in New Jersey but he's been productive for most of his eight-year career. He averaged 9.2 points and 9.5 rebounds with Milwaukee in 2005-06, his last season as a full-time starter. Those numbers dipped to 6.5 points and 6.1 boards last season in Portland when he mostly came off the bench.

My Point
Airline sorry for seat selection woes
WE THANK Mr Noel Low for his feedback ("Sorry, no sitting together"; Monday).
We endeavour to seat travelling companions together whenever possible.
However, there are occasions when the flights are full and we are unable to accommodate all seat requests as much as we would like to.
Eligible passengers are able to request their seats online as early as 180 days prior to flight departure - more information can be found on our website.
We sincerely apologise to Mr Low for any inconvenience this has caused.

Block lost ez-link card immediately
ON WEDNESDAY, I realised that I had lost my credit card, which also serves as my ez-link card, and was linked to Giro for automatic reloads.
As it was after office hours, I called the ez-link hotline on Thursday morning, but was informed that it would take up to 48 hours to block a lost card from further use.
I was also told that I would be liable for any Giro deductions made before the card is blocked.
Why is ez-link unable to block the card and terminate the Giro link immediately?
Ann Low (Ms)
Bad credit rating over $2.50
MY BROTHER was recently informed that his credit bureau report contained a C rating over a late and overdue payment for his HSBC credit card.
As he had not used his card, he called HSBC and was told that it was over a fee of $2.50 levied by the bank.
It's such a small amount, yet the record could prove detrimental to him should he wish to apply for any property loan or credit facility, based on Singapore lending criteria.
The credit bureau report should include the amount that is owed.

Re: Herreshoff's Meadowlark sharpies
Well I dunno about most other sailors, but I do get excited by sharpies. I have developed what might be called a little obsession with them. I've read Reuel Parker's sharpie book twice over the past couple months and currently am about halfway through it for the third time. I have resolved that to build a Parker Terrapin 25 or something very similar is officially on my bucket list.
As far as cost of keeping one in a slip - it seems to me one of the beauties of a 25 or even up to 30-foot sharpie as compared to a similarly-sized keelboat is the ability for it to live on a trailer.
Sure, it doesn't have all the creature comforts of a modern GRP boat, but I am sincere and honest when I say I actually like a very simple boat - my current boat is a 1968 Pearson Wanderer, and aside from the Garmin GPS chartplotter and the VHF radio, it has zero electronics. No cabin heat, no A/C, no water heater, no flush toilet with holding tank (it has a composting head) not even an electric pump for my galley sink. And my goal for my "next boat" is something simpler. See, it turns out my wife is not a huge sailing fan, and has even less interest in overnighting. When I do go sailing, it's usually with a sailing buddy of mine. And I don't mind "roughing it" - in fact, I really enjoy going camping and making do with just the basics. Plus simpler = fewer things to break, malfunction or just go wrong.
I guess I've got inverse "next boat syndrome". Rather than wanting to move up to a larger, fancier boat, I'm looking forward to a less-expensive boat to own and maintain, and a sharpie that can use a small outboard motor and live on a trailer when I'm not using it seems pretty well-suited. Plus I think it would be a very cool project to build one.

Agriculture experts are trying to determine whether regional food hubs, like an online farmers market, would be feasible in Indiana.
New grant opportunities are available across the country today for local and organic food suppliers and farmers.
A number of farmers markets around Indiana are slated to open in the coming weeks.
A study from Indiana University researchers find many farmers markets are located near higher income communities and do not have subsidized programs.
Local Organic growers are gearing up for a seasonal event beginning tomorrow.

Long Tube Headers, No EGR Pipe Hook-up
Hey Ya'll, Need a little advice here. I ordered a set of PaceSetter Long Tube headers for my 94 Ram 1500 from AMAZON. It said that they would fit my truck and I'm sure they will, except for 1 little thing, the EGR Tube connection to the manifold. I have not test fit them yet, gonna do that here in a few minutes. I just wanted to know if anybody else has run across this and if so what to do? :thk: I know that I'm gonna have to fabricate it because I like the headers and they ARE NOT going back! :smileup: I knew I would run into some fab. work eventually anyway, building my 1st Sport Truck/Street Strip Truck! If it is long enough I could just drill a hole for the EGR Tube in one of the header tubes and drill 2 small holes and tap threads in it for the hold down for the EGR Tube. Just put a new EGR Valve on it a few weeks ago, solenoid was broken. My truck has been sitting for about 3 years so I've done a whole lot of work on it. Let me know what ya'll think and give me some feedback Bros! I would really appreciate it! Going outside to work on it some more now, putting a lot of parts on right now. :pepper:
Hey Ya'll, It's AROD and I just wanted to let ya'll know that I assumed that the pipe went to the EGR Valve. "When U Assume U Make An Ass Out Of U And Me" Electrical Trades from High School. Anyway, the tube goes to the back of the intake. Couldn't I just get rid of this tube completely and put a plug in the back of the intake??? Not sure what this pipe does besides recirculates back through the intake. Would it cause an EGR problem if I took the pipe out of the "flow circuit"??? Let me know what ya'll think and sorry about the misinformation earlier ;] Should have spent 2 seconds looking under my truck to see where it went. I appreciate the help on this one. AROD ;]
Hey Ya'll, I see that 44 people have read about my issue but nobody has left me any ideas so I'm just gonna take the pipe out of the back of the intake manifold and put a block off plug in it and not deal with this pipe at all! Just thought I would let the community about this and I'm hoping after I do this I won't have an EGR Valve issue. :SHOCKED: If I do then I'll just modify the EGR Valve tube and one of my header tubes. If anybody has any feed back on what I'm about to do then please send me some info. I appreciate ya'll at least reading my post. Later, AROD :4-dontknow:

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 5 nights
The villa is in the quiet typical Greek village of Emporio, lovingly restored in the traditional style of the island with all modern facilities and features. The property has 3 double bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen with all appliances a sun terrace and a pool. Also includes all bedding and towels, plasma TV, DVD, selection of films, available all year round. The house is just 5 minutes away from the nearest bus stop.
This is a really lovely property, located in the quiet town of Emporio. We (two families) stayed for five nights, and it could not have been better. We immediately felt part of the local community. Our neighbour, Irini, looked out for us, and we became regulars at the local internet cafe and excellent restaurant located in the town square (easy walking distance). Everything on Santorini is close, so we were able to hop in our car and visit the archaeological sites, watch the sunset over the caldera, or go to the black sand beaches easily. But always a lovely return home to our villa with a fantastic pool and great sun terrace off the living room, where we dined most nights (the kitchen is well supplied). Several local cats adopted us, which we enjoyed, and if we had any queries, Carl and Tinne were quick to get back to us. We all would highly recommend this property. Thanks, Tinne, Carl, and Irini! The Loops and Psaledakis families.
Hi Tinne,
We really enjoyed our stay an your Vill this month
The air conditioning in the bedrooms was a god send as it was so hot ( 40c) in the day and 32c at night
The BBQ was great, and we left coal and lighters for the next people.
the new dishwasher works fine ( setting 6 the 35min wash cycle is great)
Our Grandson loved the new cot thanks for getting it.
everything was clean, and thanks for ouzo!
thanks for your help when we text you late in the evening.!!
The car hire people you reccomended were fantastic
they picked us up at the airport and then guided us to your property with our luggage!
this was a great help, and certainly helped with the directions!!
The snack bar near the nursery is great as is the bakery and the butchers shop next door.
Very best regards
Phil Marion and the Girls
The Emborio villa was perfect for our purpose: Three beedrooms, one with an extra baby bed, and all with separate bathrooms. Kitchen and living room with all facilities. But even better: A spatial terrace and a swimming pool in the back yard. The villa lies close to the old city with a timeless athmosphere. The village has a bakery, shopping centers and restaurants, all that you need if you want to stay local. Perissa and Megalochori is within walking distance, and busses can take you there. But if you will see more of the island, a car is needed. Within less than an hour all parts of the island can be reached. Pyrgos, Fira, Ia and the other villages on the Island are all worth visiting. We went to the extreme South West and the extreme North West. We went to the Eastern coast with a nice family beach at Monolithos. And we went to the highest top with the monastery of the prophet Elia, who is the fire prophet from the Karmel Mountain. The Santorini has sure had its share of fire! The Island has also played a central role in the history of the Aegean, with Minoan ruins at Akrotiri in the West and the remains of the ancient city of Thira to the East. Churches can be counted by hundreds. For more information visitors may seach the web or look up in old history books. And then there is wine! It is amazing to see the green vines growing on the dry soil. Driving a car may be a challenge on narrow roads with tourist busses taking most of the road. The cats give the place a special atmosphere, if you don't think that five cats is about one cat too much. The villa has friendly an helpful neighbours, as allways in the Aegean, and I believe in Greece as a whole.
Yes, there is more to be said! Go and find out for yourselves.
The Solhjell/Froystein families from Gol and from Ammerud (Oslo), Norway.
Having got married in Santorini in 2001 we returned mob handed,four kids aged 7-17 in tow to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary. It was an unforgettable holiday.
On arrival we were pleased to see that Santorini hadn't changed much in ten years! Armed with Tinne's instructions we quickly found our way to the villa and received a warm welcome from Irini.
Nestled in the charming village of Emporio it's quiet location with stunning views offers the chance to taste real Santorinian life. The maze of narrow streets nearby provide endless photo opportunities.
The villa is well laid out to a very high standard, clean,spacious,airy well equipped, which coupled with the nearby cats, provided a home
from home.
The pool proved popular with for all of us,before and after the beach trips! It's larger than it appears and deeper! The cave area provided an
ideal zone for chilling and shade the kids loved it!
We would suggest having your own transport is a must... Although Emporio has numerous eateries, you'll want to travel further afield to experience the fabulous Santorinian cuisine
Nearby Perissa offers great choice and value on the food front.We
would recommend Porto Castello for both Greek and Lebanese cuisine. It's very friendly and has a Greek night every Saturday complete with dancers,participation optional!!
If you venture into Fira head to Naoussa in the back streets for fab
Greek cuisine without Caldera views and prices. Lastly the Pyrgos Taverna in Pyrgos for the panoramic view of Santorini alone, plus great service and food!
In a nutshell this property has it all at your disposal but party animals would be better off in Fira!
We spend our holiday in july with friends. We were surprised by it's magnificent location. The house was very clean when we arrived and everything is well-maintained.
It is safe to go there with children because it's a closed property.
The center of the village is almost around the corner (5 minute walk).
Other things we liked were that it has a swimming pool which is 2 meters deep (on some places) and that you can enjoy the sun all day long because of the big terrace on top. In the evening when the sun goes down, you can relax in the lounge which is also on the terrace.
It's possible to eat outside in the morning downstairs as upstairs.
We very much enjoyed the aquarius restaurant in perissa.
We suggest you rent a scooter or a car because there are countless things to see and to do on the island.
we will certainly recommend this house to anyone because it's worth the price!
Also the neighbours were very friendly:)!
We all (10 year old, two in their twenties and two in their fifties) enjoyed our holiday in this villa. It was comfortable, very clean and charming in its style. Emporio is a quiet village with a lot of Greek character. The neighbours were very nice and the place feels very safe. There is a terrific view over the area if you go up the windmill ridge on the other side of the town. The pool was surprisingly deep for its size and was very much appreciated! We hired a car - the driving is a bit challenging - if you arrive at the port the first thing you have to do is drive up the vertical wall of the caldera which is quite exciting! - also the roads are a bit narrow. I think you need a car if you want to explore the island easily but we used the late night bus service (3.30am from Fira) several times with no problems. You can walk to the local beach in about 35 minutes (there is a quiet road parallel to the main road for a lot of the way, so you can avoid walking there which is a bit hair-raising). There is also a bus but it can get very crowded - once couldn't get off at the right stop! We ate at the house mostly - there are plenty of shops nearby.. We did have a lovely sunset meal at the Panorama restaurant on the way to Akrotiri, which has a wonderful panoramic view of the caldera. The cats were a real bonus for our youngster, who was very sorry to leave them behind. All in all we had a great time with many memorable moments. Thank you for making your villa such a pleasant place to stay.

Will the cord work on a computer?
I'm mainly asking as a Macbook Pro user for the sake of Garageband but I know there are many Windows based programs that record music as well.
Will the USB to guitar cord be able to hook up to my computer and recognize it and let me record anything I play? Or is it exclusively for the 360/PS3? It'd be great if someone who has it can try it out and let us know.
If you plug it in it shows up as a USB Microphone and sounds really good. I used Windows Sound Recorder to record it and there was no noise at all. The cord works extremely well if you are using it for recording the guitar on computer. I really can't see why it wouldn't work on a Mac, as it is also HID compliant.
Wow I expected this to be a complete bust since I'm assuming it was designed with the video game system in mind but that's great that it picks up the guitar sound through the computer. Maybe I can compose a song or 2 after I get a little better. Thanks for the answer.
I tried the usb guitar cable on my mac within garage band...seems to work fine. I had to mess around with the adjustments before I figured it out but works ok.

Fil-Ams urged to buy Bukidnon bananas
More News from Philippine Daily Inquirer
LOS ANGELES—The Philippine government has urged Filipino-Americans to buy highland cavendish bananas from Bukidnon, which will hit selected stores here this weekend.
"For us to successfully penetrate the highly competitive US banana market, we need to show that there is a strong demand for highland cavendish from the Philippines," Ambassador Jose Cuisia, Jr. said in a statement.
Cuisia made the appeal after four more companies expressed interest in joining Dole Philippines in competing for a slice of the large US market that has long been dominated by exporters from Latin America.
The Philippines became the first Asian country to export bananas to the United States when 7 metric tons of the Bukidnon bananas arrived at the Port of Long Beach on Sept. 9. It was part of the estimated 3,000 metric tons that the US plans to import from the Philippines this year.
The Bukidnon bananas, marketed under Dole's Sweetio brand, will be available at Gelsons stores in Encino, Century City, Tarzana, Newport Beach, Pacific Palisades, Calabasas, Sherman Oaks, Silver Lake, West Hollywood and Hollywood and in the Walmart stores in Baldwin Park, Corona and City of Industry, according to the Dole Fresh Fruit Company, a subsidiary of Dole Food Co. Inc.
"The US is the largest single country importer of bananas with a per capita consumption of 25 pounds," Agriculture Attaché Josyline Javelosa said, in a statement. The Filipino-American community on the West Coast can play a crucial role in creating "that niche market" for Philippine bananas in the competitive US market, she said.
The Philippine Banana Growers and Exporters Association said the four member-companies interested in exporting their highland cavendish to the US are the Dizon Group; Nader & Ebrahim S/O Hassan Philippines Inc.; Lapanday Foods Corporation; and the Tagum Agricultural Development Company Inc. of the Anflo Group of Companies.

CLAYTON — West Carrollton didn't stand a chance Tuesday when the Pirates invaded Good Samaritan Stadium at Northmont High School.
Second year Northmont Coach John Boucuvalas had his team primed and ready to play and the Thunderbolts showed no mercy in their season opener with a 9-0 victory over the Pirates. Northmont scored early and often with Andrew Dorsten netting the first goal. Blake Treherne scored back to back goals to boost the Thunderbolts' lead to 3-0, a lead they held at halftime.
"I think we've had a good preseason and we've been testing out what we are capable of," Boucuvalas said. "This is a good opening game for us to stretch our legs a little bit and give out offense a chance to get some experience."
Indeed, the offense was firing on all cylinders as the scoring barrage continued when play resumed in the second half.
Only 32 seconds into the half Jacob Winchester tallied the fourth goal of the evening. Chris Okos scored with 25:39 remaining, Matt Wysong scored at 21:18, Jon Mourouzis at 17:09 off an assist by Matt Eilerman, followed by Wysong scoring his second goal of the night with 8:41 remaining and Garrett Boeckman capped the scoring with 7:33 left in the contest.
Despite his team's lopsided victory, Boucuvalas stated that he and his coaching staff have adopted a different approach this year in preparing their athletes for the season.
"We're taking things real slow this year, baby steps, and we're trying to develop a lot of maturity and consistency in our play," Boucuvalas said. "The team has really come together well and I feel like they represent the school with a lot of skill and class, and I think it showed tonight."
Northmont's next game will be on the road at Cincinnati La Salle.
"Now next game will be a true test… a test of our ability to play under stressful conditions, but I am real pleased with our preparation this year. This is one of the better prepared teams that I've worked with," Boucuvalas added.
He has been coaching high school soccer for 16 years, the last two at Northmont, the large majority as former head coach at Fairmont High School.
The Thunderbolts will return home to host Troy on Tuesday, August 26 then travel to Springboro on Thursday to face the Panthers.

I've recently got into reading the Inspector Morse novels (although I liked John Thaw, I always found the TV show a bit dull - might have another go now!) And after having a Google around I found the character of Morse was partly based on a friend and rival Crossword setter of Colin Dexter's, Jeremy Morse - he was also an amateur chess player and even published a Chess puzzle book http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chess-Problems-Tasks-Records-Jeremy/dp/0571204546/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1296651989&sr=8-3 which I've had for years but never actually noticed the author's name on the cover till now.
Do we know if he was active on the English tourney circuit at any time and if he was any good? I can find very little about him as a Chess player or any of his games.

text: Food The Future Will Meet The Past At Picklesburgh Food Festival By Liz Reid • May 13, 2015 As a central H.J. Heinz Company product, pickles have played a key role in Pittsburgh's past. And if you ask Jeremy Waldrup, president of the Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, they'll play a key role in the city's future as well. The PDP on Wednesday announced plans for the first ever Picklesburgh food festival, slated for July 17-18 on the Rachel Carson Bridge and supported by prime sponsor H.J. Heinz. On The House: This Little Piggy Goes to Market By Larkin Page-Jacobs • Apr 21, 2015 Public domain, via Pixabay Listen Listening... / 4:16 On the House is a new segment focused on Pittsburgh's food and beverage industry.

Meat is in demand, and prices are up — 11 percent for beef and pork from 2013-2014.

I always say that August was a blues man with a jazz mind." - Director Todd Kreidler Also in this show, a look at how the USDA is taking a new approach to fighting hunger, and CMU students prepare to launch a Xombie into space. Listen Listening... / 50:12 Does Restaurant Tipping Have a Future? By Kurt Sampsel • Feb 10, 2015 Tzuhsun Hsu / Flickr Listen Listening... / 33:40 Last month Bar Marco, a trendy restaurant in the Strip District, announced that they plan to do away with tipping this Spring. There's been an outpouring of interest, curiosity and praise from all over the country. Bar Marco Co-Owner Bobby Fry and Events Coordinator Andrew Heffner talk about how they came to this decision and how they plan to make it work. A no-tipping policy has pros and cons for owners, servers, and customers. Offering their perspectives are Meg Fosque, the National Development Director for Restaurant Opportunities Centers United (ROC United), as well as Kevin Joyce, owner of the Carlton Restaurant in Pittsburgh and a member of the Western Pennsylvania chapter of the Pennsylvania Restaurant and Lodging Association. According to Fry, Bar Marco made the decision to discontinue tipping after encountering research that suggested eliminating the practice could help mitigate some of the restaurant's scheduling concerns. Workers in restaurants and retail environments often face schedule fluctuations that make their financial and personal lives difficult, Fry says. Bar Marco's plan to cease the tip system involves creating a conventional forty-hour schedule for its employees and paying the kitchen staff the same as the servers: a standard yearly salary of $35,000.

Remembering Sec. Robredo
(The author is founder Rock Ed Philippines.)
Once in 2010, I had a one-on-one with Sec. Robredo when I bumped into him on a domestic flight. About a week later, I interviewed him on ANC. I observed that his demeanor was exactly the same. Whether it was en solo while waiting for a delayed flight or on national TV with the lights on his face—his manner was the same. He had no airs about him, which is, I think, where he gets his command. For someone in his high position, he always replied to text messages. If he couldn't, he'd call to say he'd reply later. I often texted him during relief operations to ask for LGU contact numbers, and once I asked him to just give me a staff member's name, but he said there was no need for that since it was okay to just text him straight.
I'm not sure why these are the only things that come to mind right now. I guess these are the concrete things I'll hold on to when remembering Sec. Robredo. That he was a very consistent person, accessible, and he always replied. I'm not sure if our country can afford this loss; it's like we overdrew. I know "it goes on and we'll pick up" eventually, but for today I'll just pause and mourn the loss of Sec. Robredo. Maraming magbabago, condolence sa ating lahat.

Pune: The Joint Entrance Examination helps for admissions in the IITs, NITs and centrally-funded engineering institutes, and students who are in the last phase of preparation should now revise all the topics with the help of summery sheets of key formulas and concept, which will act as a brush up tool to check out concepts quickly.
This year, JEE-main exam has been made the main criteria for admission into the engineering colleges abolishing the traditional MH-CET. With the JEE examination just few days away, a sense of curiosity and nervousness among the students is at a high, and students are expected work smart to over come issues.
"The JEE is not only a test of a student's preparation, but also how well he or she can handle pressure. Most of the aspirants have been preparing for this exam for a year or two, and must know that alongside the preparation for the subjects, they also need the right temperament for the exam," said Himanshu R Thakker, professor of Physics. He said that getting nervous or feeling pressurised could significantly harm their performance on the final day.
Centre head of FIITJEE, P K Dash said that some strategies should be followed in the next couple of weeks to beat stress, and make the most of the time available. With limited time at hand, aspirants must chalk out an overall plan, deciding specific target areas that need to be covered in whatever time is left. He said that it is also a responsibility of the parents to ensure that the child takes breaks in between to keep his mind fresh and active. Studying for long hours continuously is not very productive. "Ensure healthy food and sleep habits. Stressed children tend to mismanage their routines, in trying to study more. This can do more harm than good," he added.
Professor Thakkar said said that it is all about understanding the structure of the paper, attempting the sections, and managing time without stress. Another professor of physics, Dnyanesh Vaidya said that instead of reading just text books, students just need to emphasise on important points, since the days are very less.

- Revise all the topics in a stipulated time frame
- Revisit all important concepts and formulas
- More than sectional tests, take comprehensive, full-length mock-tests in an exam simulated condition
- Mock test should be taken preferably during 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM , the time of actual JEE Main to get attuned with the exam time
- See what kind of mistakes you are making most often. Try to reduce the repetition of mistakes as far as possible.
- Since there is negative marking scheme for incorrect attempts, aspirant must be extremely careful in making too many wild guesses.
- Last two days before the exam should be kept exclusively for the subject like inorganic chemistry where memorization is required.
