ABSOLUT VANILIA was launched in 2003. Basically because vanilla is one of the most loved flavors in the world. That fact soon made ABSOLUT VANILIA almost equally popular.
ABSOLUT VANILIA is made exclusively from natural ingredients, and unlike most other flavored vodkas, it doesn't contain any added sugar. ABSOLUT VANILIA is rich, robust and complex. It has a distinct character of vanilla, notes of butterscotch and hints of dark chocolate.
In 1879, Lars Olsson Smith introduced the continuous distillation with which he made Absolut Rent Bränvin (Absolute Pure Vodka). Instead of the usual three or four times, the vodka was distilled an infinite number of times. ABSOLUT VANILIA is made the same way, the only difference is the taste of vanilla. And, like the rest of the family, it's produced in Åhus, L.O.Smith's birth town. Since nothing of that will change, neither will the true taste of ABSOLUT VANILIA.
The main ingredients in ABSOLUT VANILIA are ABSOLUT VODKA and vanilla flavor. ABSOLUT VODKA is made from water and winter wheat. The water comes from a deep well in Åhus where it's protected from impurities. The winter wheat is also grown in Åhus and differs from other crops: it's sown in fall, and harvested the next one. Days in between it grows under the Swedish snow developing its hard grain. Also, the use of fertilizers is minimized. Of course, the vanilla is as natural as the rest of the ingredients.
For all of you who love vanilla, ABSOLUT VANILIA is perfectly enjoyable neat. But it also blends well with a lot of other flavors.

After four years of looking for a job, Roderick Foster feared he might never be able to get off the streets, never have a home he could call his own.
"I prayed about it and asked God to help me and show me the way, 'What do I need to do?' " said the 36-year-old Jacksonville man. "I was really about to go crazy. I didn't know what to do, or where to go."
His prayers began to be answered in July 2011.
Impressed by the friendly staff at the Sulzbacher Center, he decided to apply for a job there. While talking to an employee about what exactly the center did, he found the center offered long-term help as well as emergency shelter.
Related: Read more about The Hope Fund
That would be the key to Foster getting back on his feet.
"You talk about someone being happy? I think I was standing outside the Sulzbacher Center dancing," said Foster. "Everything started coming together."
He moved into Sulzbacher in October 2011 and soon secured a job at Shands hospital. His two sons — who had been cared for by family members when Foster was homeless — were allowed to come live with him.
The three later moved into an apartment. But in early September 2012, Foster's 14-year-old son, Antonio, broke his femur while trying out for the football team at Andrew Jackson High School.
Antonio's injury required Foster to miss days of work while he cared for him and brought Antonio to the necessary doctor's appointments.
To make matters worse, Foster came down with the flu in late September, causing him to miss even more work and fall behind on his rent.
Although he now has a roof over his head, that roof may not remain for long. Now he is praying the Hope Fund will be able to help with his past-due rental payments.
"I got a pretty good landlord, he's a pretty fair guy and as long as you let him know what's going on he'll work with you," said Foster. "But you can only do that for so long."
Foster's landlord, Kevin Brown, said Roderick is a hard worker and he has never had problems with the family. Brown continues to work with Foster, hoping that he will be able to pay the $838 in back rent.
The Foster family's hardships began in 2008. They were living in public housing when finances got tight and they were unable to pay their JEA bill, a requirement for staying in public housing.
"Everything kind of got overwhelming," Foster said.
Foster moved from place to place living with family and friends while trying to find a job and get back on his feet, all while supporting his sons and keeping them in school. Finally, he was forced to leave his two sons at a relative's home and take to the streets
Then Sulzbacher brought the family back together.
Now Foster is just as determined to survive, to keep what he's worked to build.
"I am the type of person who never gives up," he said. "I've got two kids to look out for. If it weren't for God, I never would have made it through the storm I've been through."

|OOC|Character Depository|
Do you have a thirst for mystery? Want a unique roleplay experience that will leave you longing for more? Not afraid to have your character die for the lives of others? Murder.Edu is for you! After a dinner party gone wrong, your characters must band together and escape from the Baudelaire Mansion, a once beautiful home now cluttered with death traps and other horrors. Everyone has a secret and will learn more about themselves as they travel through the maze. Death could be around every corner, but will you solve the mystery and escape from harms way? Can you kill another human being if thats the only way to survive? Test your limits with us and we will make this the ride of your life.
[The Basic Premise]
In short, your characters will be trapped in a mansion with a murderer who is wanting revenge. You will each discover why as the story unfolds, if you live long enough anyway. Before the roleplays start, a few basic "Roles" will be given out at random to some of you. One of these roles will be the murderer himself/herself and will converse with either myself or my Co-GM Serevee and as the story plays out, you will be able to kill one person every so often. This will be all detailed in the OOC or addressed here if anyone has any questions. If the group weeds out the murder among them, they will be able to escape. If not, well... I think you get the idea. The main thing this roleplay asks for is your understanding that you may have to write up a Death Post. This is an experiment of sorts, so please be patient.
[The Basic Rules]
1.) Dont be a jerk. Respect the other players, both in-character and out-of-character. Should you have a concern with the roleplay itself, feel free to voice it in the OOC. However, if you have a problem with another player, please contact Squee or Seravee via PM. There is no need to clutter up the OOC with silly arguments that can be taken care of behind the scenes.
2.) On that same note, we are your GMs. Therefore, we reserve the right to remove players from this roleplay should we decide that they are violating one of our guidelines.
3.) No GMing or PPing. Really, you all should know that by now. Do not control other players, and do not make your character a flawless babe or superhuman detective. This is the advanced section, and we are striving to keep this as realistic as possible. Your characters all have their own strengths and flaws, so please play them accordingly.
4.) Do not make this your own little one on one. We do not want two people posting five pages of talking back and forth. That is no fun, and kills a roleplay. Of course, we will make exceptions for kill/chase scenes, but please be aware of how often you are posting.
5.) We realize that there will be some down-time in this roleplay. When someone else is being killed, or between big clues, for instance. For this reason, there is no need to post ten times a day. Do feel free to make small-talk with other characters, or venture out on your own. That being said, we do expect posts to be a decent size. A good sized paragraph at the very least. NO ONE LINERS. This is advanced, and you are all better than that.
6.) Real life happens, and we completely understand that. However, the only way that this roleplay will be successful is if everyone stays active. We are looking for at least one post every week, but more is preferable. Please only join if you are confident you can make the commitment. Should you need to take some time off, or leave the roleplay, we only ask that you voice that. Post in the OOC, or PM one of the GMs, and we will adjust accordingly.
[The Characters]
These characters are what you have to choose from. Though they are pre-made, Seravee and I have tried to make these characters as unique as possibly, but also allow you some space to work your own magic. In the OOC, everyone will be able to fill out the Character Sheet listed below for the character of their choice. Each Character has a special flaw or secret that is not allowed to be known to the others. This will be PM'd to you in due time.
[The Character Sheet]
If you feel like getting a head start and want to think about your character, here is the sheet. Do not post this in thread until the OOC is up and running.
Age: Between 22-28
Appearance: Finer details, such as height, weight, clothing preferences, etc.
PM Seravee or Squee with your character's Biography.
[Any Questions?]
This is an experimental roleplay. Questions are expected. Please don't hesitate to ask and no question is too stupid.

Sing it out "Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone." This quote is from the song "Love Story" by Taylor swift. This relates to Romeo and Juliet because they have to go some where, where it's just them so no one finds out. I think this song matches Romeo and Juliet by the lyrics in the song. Not all songs can compare to Rome and Juliet's relationship, but I think this one does a very good job. First of all this song relates to Romeo and Juliet by many different lyrics in the song. One of the first would be, "We were both young when I first saw you." This relates to the story because Juliet was only about 14 when she had met Romeo. Another lyric line would be, "On a balcony in summer air." This relates to when Romeo climbed up the tree to see Juliet. "See the lights; see the party, the ball gowns. See you make your way through the crowd, and say hello. Little did I know that you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet." This compares to when Romeo and Juliet had met at the Capulet party Romeo and snuck into. It also relates that Juliet's dad doesn't want Romeo (a Montague) anywhere near Juliet. This is a pretty accurate for an allusion. Almost every single line has the ability to be compared to Romeo and Juliet. There may be one or two lines that don't relate to them, but the rest do. This is probably one of the best songs to compare the story to. "Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone. I love you, and that's all I really know." The song "Love Story" by Taylor Swift relates to Romeo and Juliet in so many different ways.

December Free Write
Winter sports start to come into place, but some people don't think what I do is a sport. I think it's considered a sport because you have to work just as hard. Just because it's not a major one it doesn't mean anything.
I'm a cheer leader. I hate it when people tell me cheer leading isn't a sport because it is. You have to lift someone in the air, and keep the sturdy while they twist and turn. Looping your hands together to through them up so high. Getting hit, slapped, kicked, elbowed, and kneed, but you just shake it off because you have to keep going.Practicing for 3=three hours to make your self better. Sweating so much because you've been dancing, doing kart wheels, round offs, and even when you run out of a sweat you still keep going. You build up your strength until you can't take it anymore. You cry, bleed, break bones, and get bruises. I'd like you to try cheer leading if you think it's not a sport. Try it for a week, and see how it feels. Actually just try it for a day, and then you can tell me cheer leading isn't a sport.

As Kelsey Margey made her way to the end of the roped-off corral, she glanced over her left shoulder. There was nobody in sight.
Little did she know she had just made history.
The Harborfields junior's time of 18:13.40 won the Suffolk Class A girls cross country title by 1:10. To boot, she beat the record for the fastest time by a Suffolk girl on Sunken Meadow State Park's 5k course.
Laura Cummings of Bay Shore ran 18:15.23 in 2002.
Margey took that bit of history in stride. "I feel great and accomplished, but I didn't expect it," she said. "I just went out to run."
Margey is in her first cross country campaign, having never entered a competitive race until winter track of her sophomore year. After playing lacrosse in the spring, she embarked on a rigorous summer training schedule.
A relative neophyte to the cross country scene, Margey has found her athletic calling later than most. "Since I'm so new to the sport, I don't know that much," Margey said. "I just push myself hard and see what happens."
Margey's Harborfields team also won the Class A team title at the meet, which doubles as the state qualifier. The Tornadoes bested runner-up Miller Place by 20 points.
Ward Melville senior Mary Kate Anselmini won the Class AA title in 18:55.60. After finishing fifth in the race in 2009, she talked about the importance of ending her Sunken Meadow career in grand fashion.
"I guess I dug a little deeper than I thought I could," Anselmini said. "It ended up well."
Northport, however, took the team crown with 87 points, besting Ward Melville by eight points and Smithtown District by nine. Northport freshman and defending AA champion Brigid Brennan took second to Anselmini in 19:04.10.
Bayport Blue Point won the Class B crown, Center Moriches took home the honors in Class C and Stony Brook bested Southold in Class D.
But this day belonged to Margey, the beginner who is enjoying every moment.
After the race, she placed ice packs on both of her ankles. Margey just wants to be healthy for next Saturday's state championship at Lakeside Park.
She never anticipated cross country bringing her to this point.
"It's been a surprise," she admitted.
After Friday's tour de force, that sentiment should begin to fade.

Google's Motorola Mobility Sues Apple For Patents
1:03 PM EST Mon. Aug. 20, 2012Say it ain't so, Siri.
Motorola and Apple are fighting, at least in part, over Apple's virtual executive assistant: Siri. Motorola Mobility last week confirmed it has filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple regarding seven patents, including one that involves Siri technology. Other technologies involved include email notifications, reminders and video/audio players.
Related: Exclusive: Microsoft's Ballmer Throws Down Gauntlet Against Apple
Since Google bought Motorola Mobility last May and subsequently axed 4,000 jobs, Google took ownership of that company's 17,000 patents. It was a windfall for the patent-lacking Google. Moto has contended it has tried to work out an arrangement for the use of the patents with Apple, but it has been unsuccessful in those negotiations. Potentially, Google could succeed in getting a U.S. import ban placed on Apple devices, which are manufactured in China.
The patent infringement lawsuit was filed one week before a decision is expected on an earlier International Trade Commission investigation of Motorola's first ITC complaint against Apple. A preliminary ruling found that Apple may have violated one of the patents in that case. However, the patent was a "standard-essential" one, which means it would not be subject to an import ban.
Patent infringement lawsuits in IT have become a common occurrence, often with the same players repeatedly taking each other to court. Motorola and Apple are involved in litigation not only in the United States but also in Europe. The courts seem to be suffering from patent litigation exhaustion: For example, earlier this summer, Judge Richard Possner dismissed a patent infringement suit between the two companies, noting that, "I have tentatively decided that the case should be dismissed with prejudice because neither party can establish a right to relief. The trial scheduled to begin this coming Monday is therefore canceled."

I will say I have a boyish and handsome looks, even at 47 and I am not unattractive or anything, just need to get some weight off and slim down to 150-160 lbs. I know must posters on this site say in their profiles that there not into guys that are older or who don't look 20 or a like a teenager, so let me say I am actively working via 4-5 visits to the gym weekly and on a low carb diet to get down to what most of you younger and skinny guys are looking for. Trust me when I say that I was like you 20+ years ago. When I share links to photo sets of what I looked like in my prime, you would totally think I was hot looking too, trust me. I was "thin and trim" back when I was and had just left college too and if your not careful you will end up becoming what you don't like in guys yourself.

Views: 2585 · Added: 221 days agoSo I feel the need to tell you all what I don't about some people on this site: 1 - Anonymous profiles that feel they don't have or want to contribute (sorry but your friend request will be declined or you will be removed later); 2- Friends that have pics with broken/not working thumbnail links or those who have albums without pics. These people can expect to be removed; 3- Friends that don't show their faces or anything about themselves above the waist. Sorry to disappoint you, but I have seen literally thousands of guys private parts and yours isn't all that special that it has to be your profile pic (expect to be removed soon); 4- Impatient friends. Sorry, but I do work 2 jobs to get by, support a family and have other interests besides wanking that I maintain, so please give me at least 24 hours to get back a nice reply to what you post to me and finally 5- Skype Chatters who don't wan to show their faces and at least your chest and if your aren't at least as hot was the teens/guys I post in my photo sets, don't even bother asking me to Skype chat with you or if your hot won't show your face, again, don't bother me.
More on My Likes
Views: 1961 · Added: 221 days agoI find boys/teens and guys in their twenties and thirty somethings that have a beautiful and handsome faces and facial features extremely attractive. Like I am mesmerized and held captive by the sheer beauty and sexiness of their features and form. I also like and prefer more smooth skin, but a little body hair on the chest, nips and abs can be very attractive as long as it's not overly excessive. Just check out what I post in my photo-sets and you get the idea of what I fancy the most. This stems mostly from how I was raised as a boy. I was taught to keep myself neat and tidy, never be messy, dirty or unshaven. So I am totally into boys/teens and guys that show similar features to myself. What captivates me the most and foremost is their face and facial features, I love their eyes, hair, nose, ears, mouth, just everything about them, then their chest, nips and abs.
My Fetish
Views: 2216 · Added: 221 days agoHonestly, I have a fetish for male nipples/areolar since I can remember. I find them totally fascinating to look at. What I post in my photo-sets are boys/teens/guys that I think have some of the nicest tits I have ever seen on the net and a few in real-life too (but I won't give those away on here).
Skype Chatting
Views: 2069 · Added: 221 days agoSo you wish to Skype chat with me - you better be as hot or hotter than what I post in my photo sets or I am not interested. If your hot and won't show your face, don't bother asking me either. I want to use Skype chat to improve friendship and easy way of communicating, so if you don't have similar interests, then don't bother asking. If you do ask to Skype chat with me, you better send your info first and we can set up a date/time to live chat.
Views: 2212 · Added: 221 days agoI will try to answer a few of questions I commonly get on this site:Q - Is Malev you real name? A - No, but ask me in pvt and I will share how I came by it.Q - Is that profile pic really you? No, just one of the finest (if not my all-time fav.) teen pic that I have seen in my 10+ years collecting on the net.
pretty Damn horney.
Views: 1913 · Added: 233 days agoOk.. I've been having very strong sexual urges lately.. And Ive been looking for a cute teen boy (Iam one) to trade pics and maybe even chat a little! Iam very athletic and I act very straight so not into feminine stereotypical gay guys. Just looking for an average horney teen boy like me!! Anyone!?? :)

Short Biography
Any conversation with Neon Trees' Tyler Glenn is likely to be heavy on the word "fascinated." He's fascinated by pop culture, the talent of his band mates, authenticity in an inauthentic world and the power of imagination. The fact that Neon Trees write killer songs isn't any kind of news. "Animal," from Neon Trees 2010 debut, Habits, was a double-platinum single, it was named the Top Alternative Song of 2011 by Billboard.Their new CD "Picture Show" is a transcendent rock record. Tyler sums up Neon Trees best by saying, "The spirit of rock and roll is in the music, the emotional weight of the melodies and lyrics, the show and the performance, and with all of that, Neon Trees is rock and roll."
In-depth BiographyProvo, UT's poppy dance-punk band Neon Trees features vocalist/keyboardist Tyler Glenn, guitarist Chris Allen, bassist Branden Campbell, and drummer/vocalist Elaine Bradley. The group's roots go back to Campbell and Allen's time growing up in Southern California; when Allen moved to Utah for school, Glenn, a self-taught musician, followed him. The pair connected with Campbell and Bradley; the latter began playing guitar in bands when she was 14 before switching to the drums. The band perfected their new wave-tinged sound at local shows and got their big break when they were chosen to be one of the opening acts for the Killers' 2008 North American tour. Early the following year, Neon Trees were signed to Mercury Records; they were also voted 2009's Band of the Year by Salt Lake City's City Weekly. The group's Mercury debut, Habits, arrived in early 2010. ~ Heather Phares, Rovi

Chris, I'll see if I can't answer some of your questions for you..
Yes I run mine on a network which has two pc's as well as other equipment [wireless router, a pc connected via wireless, DSL router I'm adding a wireless bridge and a switch as well as a new PC just for games] on it and it doesn't seem to bother it [so far]. The USB part of the Grex seem's to be there mainly for use by independant programers and people who want to use it as a PLC [my understanding]
Yes, Mariss designed it so that it could be used as a PLC of sorts to control systems which are self contained and repetative. This may require understanding the internal's of a Grex. This is in its documentation, however 99.9999% of it is over my head.
Not sure, but at a guess I'd say no, either Mach is in control of the Grex, or its not, one or the other..
The E-stop could be hard wired to the G100 which would give that ability to control it, it could be programed to stop on its own if certain perameter's weren't met, this ties w/ the answers to Q2 &3 as well.
Yes and no, yes it could control several G100's w/ different address's and w/ differnt machine setup's but not at the same time, you'd need 1 pc for each g100 if they are run all at the same time, or 1 pc and only 1 Grex is run at a time. I think they could all be on the same network but..
No the MPG would interface through Mach 3, which would tell the G100 to move the motors. Not to say that it couldn't be made to operate the G100 directly, but you'd have to program it to do that. [again see the documentation]
I'm sure others will jump in as well but for now, I hope that helps you understand some of its abilities. The G100 documentation is a free download from geckodrives website.. take a boo and see if its something you can work with.

Pal, one reason teabaggers/Fox News watchers are seen as idiots is comments like yours with the term "bias reporting." I'm pretty sure every time I've seen that same bit of illiteracy it's been in a comment from someone who thought Sarah Palin was a viable candidate for vice president.
"soccer" is a purer sport than most i.e. no dancing after every other play, no ludicrous statistics for the media to endlessly broadcast, and my favorite, no replacing a player who fouls out, that's why it will never get the attention of American sports casting. That's why I like the game.
Great Game, Great Season.

For Christ'sake - don't you have ANYONE ELSE to do the advertisements for Sonic????!!! I have had about all I can take from the two males that do the advertising. I do not even go to Sonic due to these ridiculous adds. They have to own or have a franchise in the business. If so, they need to invest in some other actors, ANYONE ELSE! I hope they do not think they are good because I cannot take another moment watching them. I wish I could just delete them from my TV. Give us a brake PLEASE!!! I hope you read and heed these suggestions. I know I cannot be the only one who feels this way - take a survey. I bet you will be surprised at the negative comments you will receive. For goodness sake, let them sit and watch themselves for a while. They should be imbarrassed by their actions. This is not advertising. This is pure punishment just having to watch them. They even beat out Flo in the Progressive advertisements! I will even sign this. I am not embarrassed to let you know how I feel. Joyce Mauldin, 105 Gardenia Drive, Moncks Corner, SC 29450
Your writing is not clever nor entertaining. Your review displays a stereotypical uneducated Midwestern take on things you are unfamiliar with.
wow would really explain alot while i was there i had a diabetic problem b4 i was switched to insiline and the same woman gave me a shot of it now i have to use inciline for the rest of my life and its been messed up since then as well as she had given me a tetnus shot due to a wound on my leg and i had 2 symptoms and mentioned it i got dizzy and fell and all they did was prop me back on the bed and give me an ibprofin for my pain and rolled me out the door while i was dillerious and waited for about 30 minutes for my ride without tending to the wound witch was about 4 inches long and about a pencil eracer deep all they did for that was run water over it so much for medicaid and to think im also on social security
State seized property is a boon! They went after an investment group in Branson, sued and got 1.5 million from Ozark Ticket and Travel, (still in business thankfully for the million dollars) they also seized 3 or 4 prominent hotels, handed out more million dollar fines with short jail sentences to the group in charge of raising the investment money, then kept all the revenue for the state.
Not one victim/investor got a dime of the millions the state took. The state of MO never attempted to sell the hotels and keeps them in operation collecting all the revenue. While the investors were told, sorry but we stopped the scam. Only thing is, it was not a scam. Seizing property is a scam.
And they call who crooks?

This will be a good test to see if it was Kanye's fault for his abysmal turn out this week. All the blogs were saying it's because no one in KC likes rap, which I don't think is true... So we'll see..
The drop is probably more related to the sub freezing temperatures in the area this weekend.
Shame it's closing....I've been to all of Pete's restaurants and have always been treated nicely and the food has always been great. Guess if you go in looking for a fight, you'll get one. I hope Pete opens another one some day as I really enjoy his creations!
Dr. Greenlaw is a compassionate, caring doctor.He treated all of his patients like family.
I see Pete continues to demonstrate exactly why all these people think he's a fucking asshole.
We were regular Pangea patrons who always meant to go try Peanches but never got around to it. Sounds like we didn't really miss anything.
Does anyone know where Jehad Saleh and Cafe Cedar moved to?
They had great food.
Irvdaphenom you ar really awesome in your video RED and YELLOW.
Your talent is so.... pure and real.
"While a horde of semi-trucks were required to bring in the massive stage and sound construction for Kanye West and his giant performance at the Sprint Center last night, Jeff Tweedy took the opposite route and kept it simple, bringing only himself and two acoustic guitars to the Uptown."
Well, then clearly Tweedy is no "creative genius" like Yeezus is. Just kidding.
I've never really understood the Tweedy/Wilco cult following. I never heard anything from any of them that rose above the level of bland mediocrity.
That being said, one of the ballsiest performances I've ever seen was Dan Fogelberg warming up for Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles at a packed Arrowhead Stadium with nothing but a microphone and an acoustic guitar because his band's bus with all of the band members and their equipment broke down en route.
So I admire any performer who has the balls to bring nothing to the stage but their voice and guitar and entertain a crowd of paying (exorbitant prices) fans and send them away happy.
Very biased and dubious article. Popularity isn't black and white. Let time itself determine whether a genre is truly dead. Furthermore, artists like Toro Y Moi and Washed Out are bigger than ever as of 2013. They've both released two albums since this article was written and have set foot on many successful tours. You spoke too soon my friend.

- " I've stayed in several hostels in Europe and I like this one best. Excellent location near the park on upper west side and near subway. Very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff. Supurb kitchen facilities. Hostel staff and guests prepared a fine Thanksgiving lunch. Staff arranged a group outing to Macy's parade. Pool table, giant TV and several gathering rooms. Fair price for NYC. Great security with electronic door keys. Highly reccommend and I will stay here again. "
- 27 Nov 2013 Robert USA
- " It is 3 blocks from Central Park so that's amazing - you can just walk over there and you don't have to worry about getting a cab. The facilities were very clean, there are HUGE lockers that fit your luggage, and there is a plug next to your bed in case you need to charge anything at night. ONLY complaint - it is right next door to the projects so safety is something you need to stay constantly aware of at night if you're walking outside. Once you're inside though you are 100% safe!! "

Technology Academy Finland has declared Linus Torvalds and Dr Shinya Yamanaka, laureates of the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize, an award for technological innovation. The laureates will be celebrated at a ceremony in Helsinki, Finland, on Wednesday 13 June, when the winner of the Grand Prize will be announced. The prize pool exceeds EUR 1 Million.
Linus Torvalds, Finland/USA
In recognition of his creation of a new open source operating system for computers leading to the widely used Linux kernel. The free availability of Linux on the Web swiftly caused a chain-reaction leading to further development and fine-tuning worth the equivalent of 73,000 man-years. Today millions use computers, smartphones and digital video recorders like Tivo run on Linux. Linus Torvald's achievements have had a great impact on shared software development, networking and the openness of the web, making it accessible for millions, if not billions.
"Software is too important in the modern world not to be developed through open sources. The real impact of Linux is as a way to allow people and companies to build on top of it to do their own thing. We're finally getting to the point where "data is just data", and we don't have all these insane special communications channels for different forms of data", Thorvalds says.
Dr. Shinya Yamanaka, Japan
In recognition of his discovery of a new method to develop induced pluripotent stem cells for medical research that do not rely on the use of embryonic stem cells. Using his method to create stem cells, scientists all over the world are making great strides in research in medical drug testing and biotechnology that should one day lead to the successful growth of implant tissues for clinical surgery and combating intractable diseases such as cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer's. Dr. Yamanaka is specifically cited for his prominent work in ethically sustainable methodology.
"In the 21st century, medical biology will advance at a more rapid pace than before and personalised medicine will become readily available in the not distant future. iPS cell–derived differentiated cells could potentially treat sickle cell anemia and spinal cord injury. There are already plans to conduct a clinical trial on a few patients with age-related macular disease over the next few years", says Dr. Yamanaka.
"My goals over the decade include to develop new drugs to intractable diseases by using iPS cell technology and to conduct clinical trials using it on a few patients with Parkinson's disease, diabetes or blood diseases."
The Millennium Technology Prize is Finland's tribute to life-enhancing technological innovation. The prize is awarded every second year for a technological innovation that significantly improves the quality of human life, today and in the future. It is awarded by the Technology Academy Finland, an independent foundation established by Finnish industry, in partnership with the Finnish state. The laureates were selected by the Board of the Foundation on the basis of recommendations made by the International Selection Committee.
Eligible nominations have been examined by the International Selection Committee, a distinguished network of leading Finnish and international scientists and technologists. The final decision regarding all the laureates is made by the Board of the Technology Academy Finland on the basis of a proposal by the ISC. The Grand Prize Winner will be announced at a festive ceremony in Helsinki on 13 June 2012.
Dr Ainomaija Haarla, President of Technology Academy Finland comments the decision followingly: "We had many worthy nominations that we deliberated over, but ultimately we narrowed it down to these two candidates who have made such a significant impact in the field of computing and stem cell research. I hope this announcement will lead to added recognition for these extraordinary scientists and the technologies that they have developed. These two men may well be talked about for centuries to come."

Arrive in Lima at any time, there are no planned activities so check into our hotel and enjoy the city. Known as the City of Kings, Peru's capital city Lima was founded by Francisco Pizarro on the Day of the Three Kings (Epiphany) in 1535. The Plaza de Armas is the heart of old Lima, and it is here you find the Cathedral, Government Palace and Archbishop's Palace. The Cathedral dates back to the 1700s and houses the remains of the conquistador Pizarro. To get a feel for colonial Lima, take a cab to the Plaza de Armas and watch the changing of the Palace Guard in the afternoon. Walk the streets surrounding the Jirón de la Unión for great examples of Spanish-colonial architecture and to get a taste for life in a large South American city. An optional city tour visits many of the city's highlights. There are many fine museums in and around the city, including the Museo Rafael Larco Herrera, which houses an equally impressive collection of pottery, mummies and textiles from the Paracas and Nazca cultures. The more affluent coastal districts of Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro offer good nightlife and cafés all within walking distance. Limeños (Lima's residents) are friendly, and the city is filled with excellent restaurants; seafood lovers in particular should be sure to try a ceviche, for which Lima is well known.
Take a short morning flight to Cuzco, capital of the Inca Empire. Spend 2 nights here--plenty of time to explore the numerous museums, shop in the markets, wander the cobblestone streets and take time to acclimatize to the high altitude. Cuzco is the continent's oldest continuously inhabited city, and the hub of the South American travel network. The city attracts travellers who come not just to visit a unique destination but also to experience an age-old culture very different from their 20th century way of life; one could easily spend a week just in and around the area. Inca-built stone walls line most of the central streets and you don't have to go far to see other major Inca ruins. It is a city steeped in history, tradition and legend. Every year Cuzco attracts thousands of travellers who come to delve into its noble but tragic past. It is the perfect base for optional explorations around the city and area as well as a range of outdoor activities. Cuzco's numerous colonial churches are one of the city's most common sights. The Cathedral was started in 1559 and took 100 years to build; it is also one of the city's greatest repositories of colonial art. Immediately in front of the entrance is a vault containing the remains of the famous Inca historian, Garcilaso de la Vega. Also worth visiting are the churches of La Compañía, La Merced and San Francisco. While most ruins are just outside of the city, the main ruin within is that of the Coricancha, once the Inca Empire's richest temple. Today the ruin forms the base of the colonial church of Santo Domingo. During Inca times this temple was literally covered with gold, but within months of the arrival of the first conquistadors this incredible wealth had all been melted down. It is left to the individual imagination to envision the magnificence of the original structure. There are several good museums in Cuzco, including the Archaeological Museum, which also houses a small art museum, the Regional History Museum and the Religious Art Museum. Our best advice for exploring Cuzco is to wear a comfortable pair of shoes, arm yourself with a city map and set off to explore! Approximate Distance: 573km Estimated Travel Time: 2.30 hours
Travel with our local guide through the Sacred Valley of the Incas. An important source of food for the Inca, the Sacred Valley is a lush agricultural region that continues to supply the city of Cuzco with much of its produce. Visit the impressive Pisac ruins and the colourful artisan market (market days only). The day trip finishes in the picturesque village of Ollantaytambo, site of another large Inca ruin. The town and fortress of Ollantaytambo are strategically situated overlooking the beautiful Urubamba River Valley. This major ruin site is known as the best surviving example of Inca urban planning and engineering. It is admired for its huge steep terraces guarding the Inca Fortress and for being one of the few places where the Spanish lost a major battle during the conquest. We spend the night in this small town before heading out towards Machu Picchu the next morning. Approximate Distance: 95km Estimated Travel Time: 2.30 hours
We board a morning train that winds through the steep Urubamba Valley to its final destination of Aguas Calientes. Relax in the natural mountain hot baths that gave the town its name. For serious archaeology buffs, there is time for an optional independent visit to Machu Picchu before the guided tour the following morning. Those who have chosen the option in advance to hike the "1-day Inca Trail" will disembark the train at km 104 to begin the trek. The trail rises steeply up into the mountains and will take hikers past the archaeological sites of Wiñay Wayna and Inti Pata, where the local guide will provide insights into the fascinating culture of the Incas en route to the trek's culmination at Machu Picchu. Enjoy a packed lunch along the way and reach the Sun Gate in the late afternoon with a chance for a preliminary exploration of Machu Picchu before the guided tour of the site the following day with the rest of the group. Transfer by bus from Machu Picchu to Aguas Calientes to rejoin the group and spend the night in a hotel. If time permits, take an optional visit to the nearby hot springs to soak the sore muscles. Approximate Distance: 43km Estimated Travel Time: 1.45 hours Those taking the 1-day Inca Trail option: Approximate Distance: 7km Estimated hiking Time: 5-6 hours
Get up early to enjoy a guided tour of Machu Picchu with the expert local guide. Machu Picchu is both the best and the least known of the Inca ruins. It is not mentioned in any of the chronicles of the Spanish conquistadors and archaeologists today can do no more than speculate on its function. The local Quechua farmers in the area knew of Machu Picchu for centuries, but it was not until an 11-year-old boy led the American historian Hiram Bingham (who was in search of Vilcabamba) to the site on July 24, 1911, that the rest of the world became aware of its existence. At that time the site was covered in thick vegetation, and Bingham and his team returned in 1912 and 1915 to clear the growth. Over the years, much work has been done on excavating and studying the site. Despite these efforts, many unanswered questions remain. Return by train to Ollantaytambo or Poroy and will then be transferred by van to Cusco and enjoy two more nights in this vibrant and beautiful city. Cuzco is considered the mecca of Peru and rightly so. This beautiful colonial town offers nearby ruins, cobble-stoned streets, museums, churches and a lively atmosphere. The more adventurous optional activities available in Cuzco include horseback riding around archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Tambo Machay and Puca Pucara; white water rafting on the Urubamba River; and mountain biking down to the Sacred Valley, perhaps visiting an Inca ruin along the way. Approximate Distance: 118km Estimated Travel Time: 3.15 hours
Enjoy spectacular views of the countryside on this full day of travel from Cuzco to Puno, through the high Altiplano region. Located at 3830 m above sea level, Puno is the highest altitude of any place we sleep on the tour. As a result the weather can be extreme with very cold nights and a strong sun during the day (don't worry, if you get cold, buy an alpaca sweater from the market — they are inexpensive). Puno is also known for its wealth of traditional dances: there are up to 100 different varieties, usually performed in the street processions celebrating Catholic feast days. If you are fortunate enough to be visiting at the right time you may even catch one of these celebrations. A popular optional activity in Puno is a visit to the spectacular chullpas (funerary towers) of Sillustani, a pre-Inca archaeological site. Titicaca is also the largest lake in the world above 2000m, and the views from both Amantaní and Taquile Islands are stunning. Our first stop on Lake Titicaca is at the floating islands of the Uros people. The Uros began their unusual floating existence centuries ago in an effort to isolate themselves from the Colla and Inca tribes. Sadly, the Uros language has died out, and today the islanders speak Aymara due to intermarriage with Aymara-speaking clans. Today about 300 families live on the islands, however their numbers are slowly declining. The Totora reeds that grow in the shallows of the lake are used for making everything from the islands themselves to the model boats that the islanders sell. The islands are made up of layers upon layers of reeds; as the layers closest to the water start to rot, they are replaced with fresh reeds on top. The reeds are also used to build their boats, which if constructed well will last up to 6 months. The people of Taquile Island's unique culture, style of dress and lifestyle make for a memorable visit. The men of the community do all the knitting, as this is strictly a male domain, while the women do the spinning. High quality, locally knitted goods are available for purchase at various cooperatives on the island. Despite the short distance that separates the two islands, nearby Amantaní Island is quite distinct. Its soil is a rich terra cotta red, due to the high iron deposits, and the colour contrasts brightly with the deep azure blue of the lake and sky and the greenery of the local crops. After our guided tour of the floating islands of Uros as well as the island of Taquile, return to Puno for a second night. Approximate Distance: 389km Estimated Travel Time: 7.30 hours
The day begins with an impressive journey along the shores of Titicaca to La Paz. Founded by Alonso de Mendoza in 1548, La Ciudad de Nuestra Señora de La Paz (the City of Our Lady of Peace) is the highest capital in the world. Although Sucre is the official capital, La Paz is the Bolivian centre of commerce, finance and industry, and the de facto capital. This is a busy modern city, with its centre at the base of a canyon 5 km (3 miles) wide and sprawling impromptu housing all the way up the surrounding hillsides. The city is at nearly 4000 m (13,120 ft) above sea level, so visitors should be prepared for cool evenings and mornings. Explore the city's many fine museums or its historic ecclesiastical structures, such as the Iglesia de San Francisco, whose architectural details reflect the indigenous and mestizo heritage of modern Bolivia. The city is also renowned for its many markets, including the Mercado de Hechicería (Witches' Market), where Paceños and visitors may purchase potions and incantations made from all sorts of herbs, seeds, and secret ingredients to remedy any number of illnesses (real or imagined) and protect from evil spirits. With streets lined with market stalls and vendors, the pace on the street and the vibrant atmosphere is an incredible experience. There is also a thriving black market and a Carnaval market, where locals purchase carnival costumes. You'll also find a wealth of shops selling all sorts of handicrafts, mainly alpaca wool products, silver jewellery, woven textiles and leather goods. Optional activities in La Paz include museums or a visit to the world's highest ski resort, Chacaltaya (5600 m/18,368 ft). To the south of the city is the Valley of the Moon, with crater-like formations made of sand. Approximate Distance: 297km Estimated Travel Time: 7.30 hours
Often referred to as Bolivia's White City, the country's official capital, Sucre, is situated at nearly 2800m (9184 ft) above sea level, offering its visitors and inhabitants a more moderate, comfortable climate than many of Bolivia's cities at higher elevations. Before the conquest, military, religious and political leaders of the local indigenous population made their homes on the present day city site. Later, the city became the headquarters for the Spanish Royal Court, which by the late 1700s ruled over colonial Paraguay, parts of Peru, Argentina, Chile, and most of Bolivia. In 1825, in the wake of the Latin American independence movement, the city was renamed Sucre after Simon Bolívar's second-in-command, General Antonio Jose de Sucre. The city's fine museums, colonial buildings and ties to the independence movement make it a city of great historical interest. Optional activities include a visit to dinosaur footprints, an old tin baron's mansion, a textile cooperative, mountain biking and hiking. Approximate Distance: 701km Estimated Travel Time: 2.20 hours
Sitting at 4070m (13,350 ft), Potosí is the highest city of its size on earth. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1987 in recognition of its tragic history as a silver mining centre during the time of Spanish colonization. Potosí provided a large share of the silver mined and shipped back to Spain until the early 1800s, when both the supply of silver and world market prices began to decline; it's said the silver taken out of Cerro Rico (rich hill) propped up the Spanish empire for over 300 years. Working conditions for miners were appalling, and the indigenous population was decimated. African slaves were brought in to replace the native workers, and it is estimated that as many as eight million indigenous people and Africans died in the mines during the first three centuries of Spanish colonial rule. Though sometimes distressing and uncomfortable because of the harsh working conditions, the optional trip underground into the mines of today is an experience that should not be missed. Approximate Distance: 185km Estimated Travel Time: 4 hours
A long travel day takes us to the small town of Uyuni, on the edge of the immense salt flats. We spend the night here before leaving the next morning for our 3-day excursion. Despite its isolation and challenging climate (cold and blustery most of the year), Uyuni has earned the nickname of Hija Predilecta de Bolivia (Bolivia's Favourite Daughter). Most of its hardy residents are either public sector workers or salt miners in the dried out lakebeds, with tour operators a close third. The main attraction in town is the Train Cemetery, a collection of rusting railway relics just southwest of the present train station. Approximate Distance: 230km Estimated Travel Time: 7 hours
Spend three days exploring the stunning landscapes between the Salar de Uyuni and Chile's Atacama Desert by four-wheel-drive vehicle. Piercing blue skies contrast with blinding white salt as you drive across the flat lakebed. This area's unusual landscape of mountains, active volcanoes, and geysers is like nowhere on earth. Uyuni is the starting point for our 3-night 4X4 excursion through the spectacular Salar de Uyuni. Twice submerged by a large high-altitude lake, the salt flats now cover a total area of over 12000 square km (7440 square miles) and today serve as one of the country's main salt mining centres. The last large lake dried up about 8000 years ago, leaving the small lakes of Poopó and Ururu, as well as the salt flats of Uyuni. Absorb stunning views of the salt-encrusted lakebed surrounded by golden-hued mountains, snow-capped peaks and an endless azure horizon that will forever engrave itself in your memory. The tour takes us through Laguna Colorada (4278 m/14,031 ft), a large red lagoon whose colour is the result of algae & plankton growth in the mineral-rich waters, and Laguna Verde (5000 m/16400 ft), a lake that owes its striking blue-green colour to high concentrations of lead, sulphur, copper and other minerals. The numerous geysers, boiling mud pools, thermal baths and Licancabúr volcano (5960 m/19549 ft), which looms just behind the lagoon, are clear evidence of the region's volcanic activity. Surprisingly, both wildlife and flora manage to survive and even thrive in the desolate landscape, including vizcachas (of the rodent family), flamingos (3 varieties), and assorted varieties of cacti.
From the high Bolivian altiplano we descend almost 2000 metres to the edge of the Atacama Desert, where we arrive at the small desert oasis of San Pedro de Atacama, just across the Chilean border. Said to be one of the driest places on the planet, this little town is an oasis in an otherwise barren, dry landscape. There are plenty of optional excursions here, including biking, exploring nearby ruins, horseback riding, and tours of the nearby Valley of the Moon, with its spectacular rock formations. Despite its size, San Pedro offers some great restaurants as well as numerous handicrafts and artisan stores for those looking for souvenirs. Approximate Distance: 45km Estimated Travel Time: 1.30 hours
From the nearby city of Calama, fly to Santiago, the capital of Chile. Spend two nights here to fully appreciate all the city and its surroundings have to offer. Located right in the centre of the country, Chile's largest city and capital Santiago sits in a semi-arid valley—the perfect climate for growing grapes and making wine. The city is surrounded by mountains, and there are both internationally recognized vineyards and Andean ski resorts within a couple of hours from the city centre. Explore the city's many museums and parks and visit the vibrant neighbourhood of Bellavista with its handicrafts, trendy cafés, and San Cristobal Hill with its views of the city and the surrounding area. Day trips include Valparaiso/Viña del Mar, Chile's premier beach resort, and Isla Negra, Nobel prize-winning Chilean poet Pablo Neruda's seaside home. Although Santiago covers an immense area, the central core of the city is relatively small. It is a roughly triangular shaped region, bounded in the north by the Río Mapocho, in the west by the Via Norte Sur and in the south by the Avenida del Libertador General Bernardo O'Higgins (more commonly known as the Alameda). The apex of the triangle is the Plaza Baquedano, where O'Higgins forms a junction with two of Santiago's other main thoroughfares, Avenidas Providencia and Vicuña MacKenna. The centre of this triangle is the Plaza de Armas, the chief plaza of Santiago, bounded on its northern side by the main post office and on the western side by the cathedral. The streets between the Plaza de Armas and O'Higgins are wall-to-wall shops, restaurants, snack and fast food bars, cinemas, expensive hotels and office blocks. The Presidential Palace, La Moneda, is on Avenida Moneda, facing the Plaza de la Constitución. Near the Plaza de Armas is the National Congress building. One of Santiago's main parks, Cerro Santa Lucía, is in the triangle facing O'Higgins. The other main park is Cerro San Cristobal, or Huelén, in the Mapuche tongue. It is a large hill that rises dramatically from the plain to the north of Avenida Providencia. Between this avenue and the mountain, on either side of the Avenida Pío Nono, is Santiago's 'Paris quarter', the barrio Bella Vista. Here you find beautifully landscaped parks and gardens, artists' colonies and impressive views over the city, including the snow-capped peaks of the Andes (when the weather and thick smog permit). Approximate Distance: 1323km Estimated Travel Time: 5 hours
