The Ford Mustang turns 50 years old this year, and this is the logo that will announce the milestone occasion on a special line of merchandise. The graphic is the result of an internal design competition, and Ford will give 50 different companies the license to use it on traditional logo merchandise like shirts and watches, along with some untraditional items like pinball machines.
Ford is going to begin the celebrations at this week's New York Auto Show and continue them throughout the year, but April 17 is the official birthday of the the pony car that just won't quit. You can expect to start seeing anniversary merchandise in the next couple of weeks.

Visual Arts is now taught to all KS3 students on a carousel rotation with DT subjects. Students will now have 10 weeks of lessons centring around all three creative subjects within Visual arts. They will have a chance to experience a range of different media that they can then use to express themselves in a variety of ways. Across the rotation, students will learn about artists across all three disciplines and attempt to work in their styles. Literacy is a strong focus, with various lessons and tasks devoted to developing the skills needed for creative subjects at GCSE. All projects are centred around a theme, which then allows for students to develop their skills across photography, textiles and art in preparation for GCSE.
We are focusing on the basics and ensuring that every student has a good grounding to build on. Our project is called 'Colour, Shape and Stitch' and sees students exploring colour theory, the idea of shape/form and an introduction the the basics of textiles and sewing. Students will work collaboratively to create large scale mixed media paintings in the style of the German Expressionist painter, Franz Marc.
Our theme is 'Myselfie Portrait'. During this project students will learn about a broad range of artists across all disciplines and how they capture 'who they are' through their self portraits. After learning the basics of proportion and drawing their facial features accurately, students will then be expected to work in different media across art/textiles/photography in order to find something that they can relate to. At the end of the project students will work in the media or mixed media they feel is most suited to representing who they are as a person to create their own self portrait.
The main purpose of the project for Year 9 students is to consolidate the previous learning in earlier years and prepare students for the GCSE courses that follow. Each subject area is explored in more depth to ensure that students can fully appreciate the different aspects of art/textiles/photography before making choices when it comes to 'options' time. The theme this is centralised around is 'Surfaces' and the project gives students more creative freedom to be independent in preparation for their GCSEs. Observational drawing skills, Photoshop and digital photography skills and mixed media/drawing with stitch are all developed whilst students look at the interesting textures of different surfaces.
Students will be introduced to a variety of experiences exploring a range of textile media, techniques and processes, including both traditional and new technologies. They should explore relevant images, artefacts and resources relating to art and design from the past and from recent times, including European and non-European examples which should be integral to the investigating and making process. Responses to these examples must be shown through practical and critical activities which demonstrate the candidates' understanding of different styles, genres and traditions.
Across the two years students will have the opportunity to explore textiles as a creative medium, working in sketchbooks and creating samples and final pieces.

IRVINE (CBSLA.com) — It was New Year's Eve, and Irvine doctor Amir Yazdan had just bought a new Porsche back east.
KNX 1070's Diane Thompson reports he was at a Shell gas station fueling up for his trip back home from rural South Carolina when everything changed.
"The scene was chaotic, you know, people screaming, people on the ground that were just praying," Yazdan, 32, recalled. "And I was praying, saying, 'Please God, don't let this kid go'."
Yazdan ran across the street to find Marjie Britz frantic as her 11-year-old son, Tiger Winge, lay lifeless in the back of a vehicle.
He grabbed the boy out of the car and laid him on the side of the road.
When Britz told Yazdan that her son had asthma, the hair transplant doctor and part-time emergency room physician went right to work.
"I just started CPR on him right then and there," he said. "I think after about two minutes or so, he got a pulse back, and I was like, 'Let's keep going'."
After around three minutes, Winge finally took a breath – what Yazdan called a "miracle".
"I was about a half a second away from getting in my car and driving away," Yazdan said. "My friend texted me and said, "Hey, send me some pictures of the car', and I got out of the car and snapped the photo."
Yazdan added he had just grabbed the car handle to get back inside and drive off when he heard the mother's cries for help.
An emergency response team arrived shortly after that to transport Winge to the hospital, where nurses revived the boy with an adrenaline shot.
Britz later told Yazdan that she was on her way to the hospital after Winge was having trouble breathing minutes earlier, saying, "Mom, I can't breathe, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die."
Yazdan, who says he plans to get a personalized license plate in honor of the boy, said he sees a greater purpose in the events of that day than mere happenstance.
"There's no way that this was just coincidence that this happened," he said. "There was a stronger power that put all of this together."

Chinese restaurant lets attractive people eat for free
A restaurant in Zhengzhou, China is rewarding people for their good looks by offering a "Pay by Face" promotion. The controversial deal works by customers scanning their face on a touchscreen, which is then sent to a team of specialists.
The specialists, which are made up of employees from a plastic surgery office, then offer grades on the person's appearance. The judges must follow a specific scoring rubric, and the people who finish with the top five highest scores in 30 minutes get to eat for free.
The way that people are graded is displayed in the restaurant, adding even more controversy to the mix. It would be beneficial to society if the restaurant just gave away free meals to nice customers, but this is certainly one way to get attention.
Do you think it's a harmful promotion, or would you ever try and take the test to see if you can eat for free?

I have an old rack mount computer (3.0GHz, 512MB RAM) running SL6.4 that was installed from the LiveCD.
In the computer, I have 6 PCI cards that are carriers for 4 port fiber optic PMC Mezzanine interfaces. This puts the total number of interfaces at 25 (including the built in ethernet port).
The computer used to run on Fedora Core 3 and all of the interfaces functioned fine at that time. I've installed SL6.4 on the machine and it now appears now that all but around 6 (sometimes more or less) of the interfaces will communicate. The catch is that this behavior isn't consistent across reboots. Sometimes the ones that won't communicate after one reboot start working on the next.
All interfaces show that they're up and that a link is detected.
This computer is not a networked computer and doesn't have USB ports, so I'm unable to provide an lspci output unfortunately.
the lspci command output is detecting the interfaces as:
ethtool detects them as MII ports.
Any ideas or things for me to try?
If anymore information is needed, let me know. I'm not a linux guru, but I'm not a complete newbie either. I'm in the "know enough to be dangerous" category.
Thanks in advance!
I know my first post is about a problem. I'm on a short timeline at the moment. I promise I'll introduce myself in the introduction thread at some point.

Something else I thought of... is there a limit to how many connections that Network-Manager can handle?
Currently, I'm going to try disabling network manager and services and edit rc.local to add "ifconfig" commands for each interface as well as "ethtool" to configure speed, duplex, et. al.
The old version of Fedora (2) that was on the computer had it's /etc/profile file edited to do just that (except for the ethtool commands). Even though a network manager is installed on Fedora, and the service was running, it didn't create any if config files.
Any thoughts?

Results of more tinkering:
Computer 1:
- Four of 12 ports (4 ports per PCI interface) won't communicate. Link is detected on both the interfaces and their partners.
- The 4 ports that won't communicate are all on the same PCI interface.
I originally thought this was possibly a bad card... however, on...
Computer 2:
- Four of 12 ports WERE communicating fine, but stopped after several minutes. Link is detected on both the interfaces and their partners.
- The 4 ports that STOPPED communicating are all on the same PCI interface...
Interestingly enough, the two computers are 16 PCI slot rack mount computers, and these failing PCI devices in the same slot number on both machines.
Looking at the ifconfig results for the failing ports, most of them are reporting errors, dropped packets and overruns... but at least 2 of the 8 failing ports are reporting "0" for those values.

I think it is hard to find someone with similar hardware like You.
Have You tried with some different kernel version?
Some time ago UnBreakable kernel could be used with SL, maybe You should try it if it's still there

Fair enough, I understand.
I was hoping though that maybe I could be given some pointers on things to try from those more familiar with Linux than I am.
Another option I had thought of was maybe to blow away SL and go back to Fedora as it used to work, but the new link partner interfaces I'm connecting to don't seem to want to communicate with ANY of my machine interfaces (protocol maybe)?
Another option is for me to find updated drivers for my interfaces and install them on Fedora, but all I can find is the source code, and I know nothing about compiling it for use on the old Fedora system... which doesn't have the kernel headers or compiler or even an internet connection (these are offline PCs that I'm working with).
I'll have a look at what I can do with a different kernel version. Thanks for the suggestion!

If you do decide to investigate alternate kernels, I will suggest that you try the kernel-lt package that is available from the ELRepo Project.

Well, I haven't gotten to trying alternative kernels just yet (I haven't done it before), but in some of my investigation yesterday, it appears that it may have something to do with the number of interrupts.
Executing cat /proc/interrupts, it appears that the 24 network interfaces are divided up and handled by 4 IRQs and using IO-APIC-fasteoi.
The network interfaces that are NOT communicating appear to be the last ones detected upon startup (eth20-23), so it acts like i'm hitting some sort of limitation. tcpdump shows NOTHING on any of the failing channels. Any indication that something is talking to them (if any) is the "Dropped Packets" number keeps incrementing each time I run ifconfig.
This morning, I tried reimaging the computer back to the version of Fedora I had on it before. NONE of the 24 interfaces can ping or communicate with their link partners. However, executing tcpdump shows that all channels are receiving and sending data (and the RX counter is incrementing with ifconfig). But the sent data isn't making it back to the link partner as it was with SL.
Executing tcpdump and viewing just the ARP communication, I see ARP requests making it to the ports, ARP replies going OUT on those ports (with the correct MAC addresses), but on the link partners, I see only the ARP requests going out, and not the replies that the Fedora computer shows is being sent out.
cat /proc/interrupts shows the same grouping of interrupts (different interrupt numbers though) and the same 6 interfaces per interrupt... but using IO-APIC-level.
I've looked at options for interrupt leveling (when I had SL on the computer), but it appears that it's already enabled. The computer is a dual core hyperthreading computer (2 processors, 4 siblings total) and when running full tilt with the networking, I'm less than 50% CPU load and still have over 100MB of RAM left. (200MB on Fedora).
I know that's a lot to post, but does anything stand out as red flags?
Fedora - Receiving and sending out data on all NICs, but link partners are not receiving the sent data from any NICs.
SL - Recieving and sending successfully on all but the last 4 NICs (eth20-23).

Just wanted to provide an update to this.
Although I really wanted to stay with Scientific Linux, just out of curiosity I tried installing a newer version of Fedora (14 was the latest distro compatible with my old setup), and although it detected and renamed my eth ports in some strange order, it seems to detect and communicate though all of them.
I don't know what the limitation is on SL6, but I wasn't able to get it to work with more than 20 ports. As was said, having so many ports isn't really a common configuration, so I don't hold it against SL, but just wish I could have gotten it working.
On the plus side, I added much more knowledge and experience with Linux in the process of troubleshooting.

You are free to play with Fedora 14, but please be aware that it not supported anymore.
So your system is not updated with security updates and such, where EL6 kind of clones are still up to date.

Well, this setup is not connected to any external network, so security isn't really a concern. The only network connections are between our unit under test and the setup itself.
Additionally, F14 was the latest version compatible with my old hardware. After that, the minimum RAM requirements were too large.

|ASSOCIATE Backgrounder
The breadth of instability affecting the Euro-Atlantic area, together with challenges such as hybrid warfare and aggressive non-state actors, compels the Alliance to increase the pace of its adaptation. From a military perspective,the complexity and uncertainty of the strategic environment, the interrelated nature of crises, and the growing challenges to our technological edge, require us to change our mind-set and the way we conduct warfare. To remain credible,and relevant now and in the future, the Alliance must make the right decisions today.
In this context, ACT works towards strengthening NATO's Defence and Deterrence Posture to ensure it remains ready, responsive and able to fulfil the three core tasks our Nations have determined: Collective Defence, Crisis Management, and Cooperative Security.
My intent is to enhance and sustain a modern and agile combat system for NATO by supporting and improving today's operational capability, understanding and shaping the future, and bridging the two.
To achieve this, Allied Command Transformation will concentrate on six essential, and interrelated, Focus Areas (FA): Command and Control (C2), Logistics and Sustainability, Collective Training and Exercises, Partnerships, Capabilities and HumanCapital. With C2 as the driving force for NATO's future success, these FAs will guide our core efforts providing integrated outputs for the Alliance's adaptation, thus strengthening our Posture and ensuring its 360 degree approach.
Through innovative thinking and experimentation, advanced exercises and constant engagement with partners and stakeholders, we will deliver our best military advice to NATO Nations to support them in the preparation of their future capabilities,in the most transparent and rigorous cost-efficient way. Shaping our vision of NATO's military capacity along these lines for the next 15 years will drive our efforts as we strive to guarantee our level of efficiency and responsiveness over the long term.
Commander's Vision
I see ACT as the driving force for transforming NATO's combat system in the face of a constantly evolving and unpredictable geostrategic environment.
We strengthen the credibility of the Alliance's deterrence and defence posture today through innovation at all levels. In concert with ACO, we enhance NATO's operational capability with an ability to further develop and improve our military capacity through a clear understanding of the future threats and challenges we face, and pioneering solutions to address them.

Microsoft Promotes Interoperable iSCSI
With the spate of recent storage conferences and the upcoming Microsoft Tech Ed 2004 conference, I've been hearing from a lot of vendors about Internet SCSI (iSCSI). In "Combining Today's Technology to Make Tomorrow's Products," May 3, 2004, InstantDoc ID 42621, I covered one of the first iSCSI products for Windows Storage Server 2003, which motivated many other vendors to contact me about their pending products in the same space. However, rather than talking about other Windows-specific products, I want to take a somewhat different direction and discuss how Microsoft's iSCSI support goes beyond particular products--and even Windows.
To understand the way that the iSCSI market is shaping up in the Windows universe, you first need to look at the iSCSI component that Microsoft has released. The iSCSI software available for the Windows platform is what's known as an "initiator"--a piece of software that lets Windows access an iSCSI target. Microsoft isn't releasing and has no plans to release its own iSCSI target software for the Windows platform, according to the transcript of an online Q&A session with Suzanne Morgan, enterprise storage program manager in the Windows Core Team. (To read the transcript, click the first URL at the end of the commentary.) As a result, Redmond has left the production of Windows-compatible targets to the third-party development community.
Yes, many vendors have Windows Storage Server products. But I think what's more important is that the Microsoft iSCSI initiator will let Windows connect to just about any iSCSI target, even though Microsoft officially supports only targets that have been qualified under the Designed for Windows logo program. The target doesn't have to be a complete storage device; a supported host bus adapter (HBA) can connect to storage devices that don't have the Designed for Windows logo and can enable those devices to be used with Windows servers and clients. Consequently, the storage devices themselves need not run Windows Storage Server--or any version of Windows, for that matter.
In fact, of the more than 60 qualified products listed in the Designed for Windows logo spreadsheet for iSCSI, more than half are devices from Network Appliance (NetApp), best known for its Network Attached Storage (NAS) and Storage Area Network (SAN) products, which don't use any version of the Windows OS. (To view the iSCSI Designed for Windows logo spreadsheet, click the second URL below.) NetApp does, however, have a complete suite of Windows-based tools to run and manage its storage devices. These tools bring a well-tested enterprise-class storage product into the hands of Windows systems administrators, including administrators who might have been a little leery about building a storage architecture strictly around the relatively new Windows Storage Server model. And in multiplatform shops, where Windows and UNIX IT folks are often at loggerheads, the tools make available products that can satisfy the requirements of both constituencies.
Releasing the iSCSI initiator while letting third parties provide the target is a good move on Microsoft's part, allowing Windows Server products to integrate smoothly with enterprise-class products hosted on other firmly entrenched OSs. Although playing well with others has never been a Microsoft strength, the decisions Microsoft is making with respect to iSCSI will further the cause of Windows as an enterprise platform. For more details about the Windows iSCSI implementation, go to the third URL below.

IBM Expands Storage Product Offerings
IBM continues to address data retention and government regulatory concerns with new tape- and disk-storage products. The new products, which aim to make managing the data life cycle easier, include the IBM TotalStorage FAStT100 Storage Server and write once, read many (WORM) media technology for the IBM TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592. These products join the IBM TotalStorage Data Retention 450 solution, which the company announced in February (see the second URL below).
The IBM TotalStorage FAStT100 Storage Server is an entry-level Serial ATA (SATA) storage system with functions and capabilities similar to the company's FAStT600 but implemented with with low-cost SATA technology. Designed for long-term storage of infrequently accessed data, the FAStT100 supports as much as 14TB of disk capacity. The FAStT100 includes Dynamic Volume Expansion and Dynamic Capacity Expansion, features that allow no-downtime disk reconfiguration.
The company's introduction of WORM media technology for the TotalStorage Enterprise Tape Drive 3592 provides an inexpensive solution for companies looking to use tape-backup technology to securely store data. IBM plans to include WORM technology in future drives and media technology.
Storage User Group Gets Corporate Support
The Association of Storage Networking Professionals (ASNP) has announced its first platinum-level sponsors: EMC and QLogic. The goal of adding platinum sponsors, according to the group, was to "build a bridge" between vendors and the user community. "Our members want to provide vendors with their pain points and also understand what vendors are doing to address their (users') needs," said Daniel Delshad, ASNP founder and chairman.
Formed in September 2003, ASNP is an independent user group for storage professionals, including IT managers, systems administrators, university professors, and students. Worldwide, the group has 26 chapters and more than 1500 members. (For more information about the ASNP, see the links below.) The association has opened Platinum, Gold, Silver, and Startup sponsorship levels to vendors and other storage-related companies. Sponsorship gives companies the opportunity to speak at ASNP chapter meetings, sponsor newsletters, and participate in customized feedback programs, such as surveys and focus groups. ASNP's first annual summit will take place next month at Storage World Conference in Long Beach, California.

I was listening to the Point of Inquiry podcast in which D.J. Groethe interviews Christopher Hitchens, and it occurs to me that while I think D.J. Groethe often does a good job of playing Devil's Advocate, though we know where his heart and mind lie, he frequently gives the honored guest too much of a layup interview, and it neither serves the program nor the audience.
In this particular interview, Hitchens predictably states that he is fine with people's religiosity as long as they leave him alone about it. He and D.J. congratulate one another about the truth of this. What neither mentions is the fact the many religious people would be just as happy if they were not forced to deal with issues they found offensive, as well. I was disappointed that D.J. did not follow up by asking, "Do you think the religious folks feel the same way about secular values being forced on them?"
I am opposed to abortion, not for religious reasons but for humanistic reasons - and that is not the point of this post. When I have suggested to my friends who support it is that if it were simply removed from the public agenda - and made a private issue - both sides would be better off - I am stunned at the reaction I get. While at one time, the "religious" point of view held that abortion was a criminal offense, that has been overturned, but it seems that decriminalizing it was not sufficient. Now we needed to have state-sponsored abortion. The government - and by extension, I - have to pay for abortion. Now I am being told I am acting as an impediment to science if I don't want to to pay for embryonic stem cell research.
What if we simply removed these things from the public arena? Individuals who are so inclined are free support and pay for these things, and others are free to engage in them - there are no criminal penalties. I'm pretty sure that if the benefit is there, a free market society will come up with a way to pay for these, and other activities that many of the public can't find it in their consciences to want to pay for. So take it out of debate!!
Similarly, if private institutions (churches, stores, clubs, etc.) want to celebrate a particular holiday, in public, this is their right. As long as government money is not spent on the activities, what difference does it make?
School vouchers would eliminate the quibble over what values children should or should not learn in school - parents would be free to select a school that represented the values they wished to pass along to their children, and all children would receive the same support from the collective purse.
The more we remove private decisions from the public sphere, the less either side has to fuss about being "forced" to endure the idiocy of the other. Then we can all just leave one another in peace to go on our ways to heaven, hell, or sweet nothingness, as we see fit.

Kog'Maw Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Welcome to my kog'maw build
This is my first build so don't expect to much
Summoner Skills
I allways choose Clairvoyance and Clarity
I choose Clairvoyance because your artillery outranges your normal view so i use that to get it and 2nd reason is because you can go stand at the edge of their base and use artillery to irritate/kill ppl
I use Clarity because i allways get mana problems
Other possible skills are Heal because Kog'Maw is squishy at the start
Ignite to do even more damage
Ghost to chase enemies that are almost dead
I chose 9/0/21
you get more speed,more mana regen and more AP
Kog'maw Abilities
Passive: Icathian Surprise
Upon death your character becomes invulnerable for four seconds and after those four seconds you explode and deal 100+(25*Lvl) damage to nearby enemies (both creeps and champion
Caustic Spittle [Q]
Passive: Increases Attack Speed by 10/15/20/25/30%
Active: Deals 60/110/160/210/260 +(70% Ability Power) damage to the target as well as reducing their armor by 5/10/15/20/25.
Bio-Arcane Barrage [W]
On use causes your attacks to have an increased 140/180/220/260/300 unit range as well as making your attacks do an additional 2/3/4/5/6% of the target's health in damage (+1% of your AP). This effect lasts for six seconds.
Void Ooze [E]
Sprays ooze in front of you at a fairly long range which deals 60/110/160/210/260+(70% AP) to any enemies it passes through. Additionally it slows enemies who pass through the trail left behind by 28/36/44/52/60% of their movement speed.
Ultimate: Living Artillery [R]
You fire an artillery ooze at an incredible range (1400/1700/2000) which falls after a short delay dealing 80/120/160 + (30% AP) magic damage and reveals targets for 4 seconds. Damage to champions is increased by 150%. Every subsequent cast within 6 seconds costs an additional 50 mana, up to a maximum of 250 additional mana.
If u start the game you have to know which lane you get
I allways go mid otherwise i can't play
If u go mid or in a lane with a person that doesn't use mana get a Meki Pendant and 1 health and 1 mana potion
If u go in a lane with someone with mana buy a Mana Manipulator to help him keep his mana up
After that buy Sorcerer's Shoes and if u bought Meki Pendant , finish Chalice of Harmony
If ur making many kills or assists and feel confident get Mejai's Soulstealer Otherwise get Hextech Gunblade
Just go on and get the other stuff if u didn't get Mejai's Soulstealer get item Lich Bane in the end
otherwise finish with Guinsoo's Rageblade
Let's say your level 18 and see an enemy
first use Caustic Spittle it gives armor pen after that use bio arcane barrage because you have more attack speed you'll attack very fast and because you have ability power bio arcane damage does more damage if he runs away use void ooze and shoot artillery it's hard to aim where he walks but if u use clairvoyance you can see him and aim better
If ur in mid just stay on a distance and do your Void Ooze
If someone comes to close use Caustic Spittle and your Bio Arcane Barrage and if he runs Void Ooze
If someones almost down and you think he's going to recall:
use clairvoyance to find him and hunt him down with artillery

I believe the majority of companies truly care about their surroundings. There is usually a sense of "home" with many companies. They all have regulations and policy to prevent these types of accidents, but I do not believe the majority of companies would purposely try to harm the environment around them...and if they are, well that is just bad business anyway. It logically makes no sense to harm their "home".
Commercial buildings are prone to disaster, and sometimes they catch fire. It sounds as though the Wild Turkey facility did not have adequate fire extinguishers. Sometimes sprinkler systems are inadequate. Did the building pass a safety inspection test at least? Even if it did, accidents will occur. The runoff of whiskey could not be controlled. it can't be said that a company is environmentally irresponsible the company damages surrounding water and land by accident. It is more plausible to say a company is negligent in not maintaining a safe workplace, endangering people's lives and the area because it did not keep building standards up to par. If this company cares about the environment, it could move its facility to an urban area, and make sure to have the best security measures in place.
In my opinion, companies only do what is necessary to pass necessary inspection to pass their safety rules. As far as the environment goes, I don't see too many that do take the time to consider impact to the environment due to unforeseen accidents. Mainly because none of them live by the prepare for the worse and hope for the best philosophy and when something happens, they are left holding the bag over the damage.
No, most companies don't seem to take the environment seriously. Most individuals don't either. It seems to be a group mentality. It is easier not to consider the environment because respecting and caring for it is often difficult and costly. At the same time, when individuals or companies look around and see that others are not taking care of the environment it is easy to say, "oh well."

As you may know (if not, you can clickeach of these or search "poor Bryan" cause that's usually how they start out), I subject Bryan to a LOT of female-ness.
Just now (in Courtney Love's gorgeous house!) I asked him to hold this Super Plus for me while I plugged in my laptop on the way to the/COURTNEY LOVE'S! bathroom. He reached out his hand without looking up from his laptop to see what it was and all the girls in the room (Madeline has hers too, by the way -- and I'm the alpha in the relationship!) laughed. Is that mean? What would be the male equivalent? The more I'm thinking about it, the more uncool it seems. Thoughts? Examples of male-to-female analogies? Help!

About Santorini Hostel Kykladonisia
With views of the sunrise and a hideout swimming pool, with both dorms and private rooms, this small, cute establishment might is exactly what you're looking for on our paradise island.
Our property is set in a traditional design, adapted from an old mansion. The central location, quality rooms and quality prices make our hostel a great option!
At check-in, an introduction to the island's best destinations is always presented, followed by a map and our experienced recommendations on sightseeing, beaches, restaurants and tours.
Location Information
We are conveniently close to all banks, taxis and the bus station; with views of the sea at sunrise, this is a perfect choice for everybody. We have 15 rooms, 4 dorms for men and women, lockers, phone, A/C, TV, an internet room (plus Wi-Fi around the premises), a swimming pool and relaxing terraces and balconies. Within this traditional settlement in Fira Town you will be within walking distance to the center in 4 minutes and to the Caldera area in 3 minutes.
Later on at night, the associated 'Casablanca Soul bar' brings the top DJs in Santorini (Pasta Boys, Osunlade, Motherfunkers, Christo-Z, Live events and Ethnic bands for this summer to name a few).
Let us know the approximate time of arrival in advance, as the reception is open from 08.00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Should you need to come in late, we can arrange for someone to be here to check you in.
Important information:
No shows or no stay will be charged one night unless clients notify us at least 7 days prior to arrival of the non-show. The hotel reserves the right to charge on a non-show, should the rooms remain empty for the night of arrival and if the guest does not inform the premises on time.
Also note that if clients don't stay for the night of reservation, the night is charged as a penalty, since the room and/or the bed will remain empty for that night and potential clients have requested it anyway but it is on hold for you.
Please print the map and call us if you need any help with directions.
Cancellation Policy
Customers can cancel their reservation free of charge up to 7 days before arrival. After this date, charges will be applied by the property up to the first nights cost of the reservation, unless otherwise stated in the property's conditions. Deposits paid are non refundable.

Winners Academic Awards 2017
Winner TU/e MSc Thesis Award 2017
Ronen Kroeze MSc
Thesis: Finite range corrections to the universal Efimov spectrum
Graduate Program: Applied Physics
Thesis summary
We study the quantum-physical system of three interacting particles. During a collision, these particles may clump together and form special bound states, known as Efimov states. We show that the Efimov states and the universality associated with them can be understood from two-particle collisions influenced by a magnetic resonance.
Winner TU/e PDEng Thesis Award 2017
Evangelos Stamatopoulos MSc PDEng
Thesis: Environment Model Creation and ADAS Architecture for Trucks
PDEng Program: Automotive Systems Design
Thesis summary
This project gives insights into the many challenges faced in designing an Environment Model by means of sensor synergy and sensor data fusion. The realization of an Environment Model enables automated and fully autonomous driving leading to increased road safety and reduced fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.
Winner PhD Thesis Award 2017
Dr.ir. Jaron Sanders
Thesis: Stochastic optimization of large-scale complex systems
Department : Mathematics and Computer Science
Thesis summary
Dr. Sanders has developed analysis techniques and optimization procedures broadly applicable to large-scale complex systems. His focus was on probabilistic models of interacting particle systems, stochastic networks and service systems, all of which are large-scale and display fascinatingly complex behavior, in spite of the relatively simple rules governing their dynamics.

Ryze Build
Ability Sequence
NOTE: I did not include masteries and runes because I want players of all levels and wealth (ip) to be able to use my build (:
Ability Build
Simply put, start off with spell flux, to level faster.
At level 2, put one in rune prison to keep you safe.
At level 3, put one in overload so when you get initiated, you can fight back.
After that, just follow these priorities.
#1 Desperate Power
#2 Spell Flux
#3 Rune Prison
#4 Overload
Just get whichever ability going down this list is available first.
Champion Skills
Ryze is a nuker, he is based on running and gunning or finishing other champions off. Teleport is used to save a falling turret or to suprise low hp champions by teleporting on a minion. Teleport>Ult>Flux>Prison>Overload>Dead
Ghost is helpful when you can't run away in time, when you get slowed or ganged. Ryze is a nuker. Don't try to shrug off the pain from a tank until you at least get your frozen heart. Reason? Cooldown.
Item Build Explanation
Start off with a soul stealer, you should play as a support for your team at the start of the game. You shouldn't die much and rack up some kills and assists, and the ability power adds up.
Next get some boots, depending on the map and enemy champions, boots of mobility is good for 5v5 and when the opposing has no stun or slow champs.
Boots of swiftness is also good overall, I recommend this as it helps more in combat. You could switch to boots of mobility later in the game when you get your frozen heart and glacial shard.
The rod of ages speaks for itself, most games should last at least 30 minutes. Getting the rod of ages mid game is great for Ryze. It builds up his hp to increase his survivability and also his damage, in the form of mp and ap. MP is very important to Ryze simply 'cause his overload depends heavily on both.
Late game, you should be expecting your overload to do at least 800 damage with a 2 second cooldown. >:)
NOTE: If you find late game your mp cannot keep up with your spell spam, consider an Archangels staff instead of the rod of ages. You get a barely noticeable decrease in ability damage but your mp should be able to keep up with the heavy spell spam this build relies on.
The frozen heart and glacial shard are great for their cool downs. Ryze is heavily dependent on the fact that he can snare others very often. His ult can also be easily taken advantage of. Both these items help your defense, raising your survivability and boosting your mp heavily, increasing damage and ability spam. By the time you get these two, your soulstealer should be almost done with its stacks. Adding onto these two items that is a total of 60% cooldown reduction! In battle, you should be able to spam spells without hesitation with help from arcane mastery. Your desperate power should have a cooldown of about 20 seconds and your Q,W,E skills should be able to be spammed in sequence without stopping. This is the highlight of the build. You will be able to shower enemies with spells while they are snared with only about 3-4 seconds of freedom in between. BUT, if you did this right, by 2-3 snares, any champion should be dead.
Your last items should be either Lich Bane or Zhonya's ring. You could choose either one as your end game item. They are both really good.
If for some reason the game is still going on and you have left over money, switch out your Glacial Shroud for the item you skipped previously, the Lich Bane or Zhonya's ring. You don't have to worry about the cooldown because the Lich Bane's passive ability pretty much turns your normal physical attack into a mini nuke from your insane AP.

Heartburn: Changing Your Eating HabitsSkip to the navigation
Topic Overview
You can make changes to your eating habits to help relieve your symptoms ofheartburn. Here are some things to try:
- It's best to eat several small meals instead of two or three large meals.
- After you eat, wait 2 to 3 hours before you lie down. Late-night snacks aren't a good idea.
- Chocolate, mint, and alcohol can make heartburn worse. They relax the valve between the esophagus and the stomach.
- Spicy foods, foods that have a lot of acid (like tomatoes and oranges), and coffee can make heartburn symptoms worse in some people. If your symptoms are worse after you eat a certain food, you may want to stop eating that food to see if your symptoms get better.

Here's a new little spin on cookies and it adds peanut butter and chocolate in, which makes it fantastic! Not just any chocolate and peanut butter, but a chocolate cookie in cup form filled with peanut butter mousse and topped with whipped cream and sprinkled with mini Reese's Pieces. As I was making them my kids kept walking through the kitchen and going crazy. They couldn't wait till I let them try one! And when we did try them, they were great!
It's a pretty simple little recipe and it makes people smile. Let's make them ok?
Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie Cups:
Ingredients for the Cookie Part:
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 sticks butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Combine above ingredients to make cookie dough.
(This should make about 12 cookie cups.)
Grab a muffin tin and grease the it. Take a large cookie dough ball and press it down into the muffin tin. Gently press it into a cupping shape:
Bake for 8-10 minutes. As you take them out, you may need to gently shape the cup shape again:
Now you will fill them with the peanut butter mousse.
Ingredients for Peanut Butter Mousse:
- 2 C Heaving Whipping Cream
- 1/2 C peanut butter
- 1/4 powdered sugar
Using an electric mixer, beat your whipping cream until it is creamy and can form peaks.
Add your peanut butter and powdered sugar and mix ONLY until they are mixed in. Do not mix any longer than that.
Put the mousse into a Ziploc bag and snip off one corner.
Pipe it into the chocolate cookie cup:
Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with mini Reese's Pieces.
Eat up!

let me get this straight, Illuminati is in all music, cds lp 45 78 331/3, not only is it the artist but the labels as well, Motown, apple RCA Columbia and EMI Atlantic Capitol, music from Mozart to Jay Z.....*SNIP*
how to put it ... due to over overzealous Christians, that think there is the devil under every bed nook and cranny. That all music is the work of some forbidden knowledge, and the the Illuminati is behind it all, that the US system of Gov or money, or the car you drive , [yea heard that one as well] is a symbol of being in part of or giving in to the powers of the Illuminati.
so yes Mozart was linked to them or so they say , what to you have to say to that??? as if i do not know. here this one should read Illuminati all over it
Freemasonry in 18th century Europe was a new and worrying thing to many in power. Its stated principles of humanism and equality made it seem revolutionary to the nobility and the Church, and it was widely believed after the shocking events of 1789 that the Freemasons (in particular the Illuminati with whom Mozart was most closely linked) had initiated the French Revolution. Although of itself not a political force, it attracted the attention of many who did have political power, and thus became a danger to the established order. Based largely on ideas of what Egyptian and Eleusinian ritual were all about, Freemasonry also encapsulated the secrecy of an underground religious order, and an affinity with Nature. Masons believed that by regressing to a state of primitive humanity (Rousseau's 'noble savage') men could become equal parts of society once more. The vast disparity between the wealth of the noble minority and the poverty of the illiterate majority was seen as the greatest evil of Mankind, and it was to this end that the Masons worked to establish communes and a sense of equality and fraternity. (Little wonder that those not initiated into its deeper mysteries believed them capable of starting a revolution!)
so yes Mozart was linked to them or so they say , what to you have to say to that??? as if i do not know.
In programming Monarch slaves, mirrors are used a great deal. Within the Monarch slave's mind, countless mirror images are made. The slave sees thousands of mirrors everywhere in their mind. Because Marilyn was so stripped of any personal identity, she decorated her house as her mind looked on the inside--full of mirrors. Although other Monarchs may have some desires to decorate with mirrors, Marilyn is the most extreme case I know of filling one's house full of mirrors"

To exaggerate for a moment, you might say that without Manson the 'Caliphate' OTO would not even exist.

The Foster Care Council of Canada is going to look into the death of Jim Malone by making a freedom of information request for the officers notes who attended the day Mr. Malone drove his truck into the building and died.
August 01, 2007: We have contacted the officer who was on scene the day of the incident and are attempting to obtain more information.
His first response to me was
"I was the officer in charge of the case , privacy laws prohibit me from releasing any information. You may be able to make a FOI request for the report .
Good Luck"
His second response was...
"The request would be made to the Windsor Police Servcie , and for a number of reasons , I will not discuss the case .."
I then wrote this to the Windsor Police Service
"I would like to make a FIPPA or MFIPPA request for officers notepads or any other documents or records of any officers who worked on the case of Jim Malone who drove his truck into the Children's Aid Society Building in October of 2004.
I am specifically seeking information pertaining to the Suicide note that Mr Malone wrote prior to his driving his truck into the Children's Aid Society building.
At the time, Windsor Police Officer Gerald Corriveau was in charge of the case.
Could you please inform me of how I would do this and what wording I would use?
For example, do I ask for Officers notepads or notes or notebooks?
What other reports or documents could I ask for by name which might refer to a suicide note which could have been found at the scene or at his home?"
I was responded to with the following instruction for making the request which anyone can do if they are interested

High Resolution and Exceptional Quality Photos for Free
but is that a good thing...?
This could be a controversial post... Let me explain.
A few weeks ago I randomly ended up scrolling through Twitter and ended up on http://www.sansfrancis.co/ which has a "designer toolkit" list of apps and websites. Including a list of photography resources. I'm well aware that creatives and bloggers often struggle to find the right imagery to compliment their work. In the past, this is where image libraries became of use, as did the right click button?
Image libraries have their problems and really, I believe few people actually want to steal copyrighted images. I've written in the past about how successful (or not) my experience with Alamy (a huge stock agency with almost 1million photos) has been... http://bit.ly/Six-Months-with-Alamy
The list of apps and websites, included Death to Stock Photo, these guys are running a new type of image library and each month they email a selection of approximately ten free photos to newsletter subscribers, some of which I've used within this blog previously. They also offer a subscription model, starting at $15 a month to download a certain number of images for free.
Another site recommended was Unsplash.
"Unsplash is a database of beautiful, high-res, free photos for creative use. No awkward office stock photos. Make sure you give credit to the photographer."
The majority of the images on Unsplash were indeed beautiful and of an exceptional quality and all in high resolution for free downloads with a Creative Commons Zero license - https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/
I'm not sure how to describe my initial thoughts, perhaps slightly frustrated that photographers were giving away such good images for free, I wanted to know what did the photographers got out of the arrangement? Thinking it was a shame that the industry wasn't able to financially reward the photographers for their work.... I spent a little time thinking about this and after a while my initail thoughts seemed quite simplistic, and I wanted to learn more... Perhaps it would be enough for photographers to want to give back to the creative industries. I spoke to a couple of the team at Unsplash and a contributor via Twitter, they all said they loved the community, wanted to give back to the creative industry and that in giving back, they had their work was used increasing their exposure.
That made me think about how many YouTube videos, blogs, vlogs and podcasts I enjoy and have rarely made a financial contribution to the creators...
So, the long and the short of it, I now have a Unsplash account. You can check out my profile and download my images at high resolution here - http://bit.ly/Tony-Rogers-On-Unsplash. I've only spent a short amount of time uploading and tagging a few images, but perhaps more will follow over time. So far, in a week of sharing, my images have been viewed by 150 people, that's 145 more than six months on Alamy...
In a few months, I'll write another post with how things are going... There are always images that will be paid for (thankfully or I wouldn't have a job), but are websites like Unsplash helping the creative and photographic industires or causing them harm? Are they enhancing the value of great imagery, or reducing it as free images are so readily availble?
I'm only going to be posting personal images that have little or no commercial value, Unsplash could be new a home for my images rather than simply sitting on my computer hard drive...
