In F1 2011 on the PS Vita, players dive straight into Quick Race to get an instant taste of life in the fast lane – pick your driver, select a circuit, tweak the race settings and you're good to go. Whilst you're in the driving seat, a quick tap of the PS Vita system's touchscreen switches between the range of cockpit views, putting you even closer to the action. Once you've clocked up some races and found the right settings to suit your level, hone your speed in Time Trial or put your skills to the test in Grand Prix, Career and Championship modes. As well as these traditional single player racing modes, F1 2011 includes a series of Challenges which will test your skills behind the wheel. With a total of 60 challenges to unlock, will you have what it takes to beat them all?
Super Gamer Dude
PS Vita
F1 2011 is the latest in the line of quality Formula 1 games for the PS Vita. The game was produced by a UK based company, Sumo Digital, and it is certainly a worthwhile game both for casual fans and for die hard F1 fans.
The game is definitely better than most people predicted it would be, particularly as the 3DS version of this game was disappointing. The PS Vita screen is perfect for this game and it definitely takes advantage of the large screen size. With all the game modes and the way the car handles, it is almost a complete F1 experience.
Game Modes:
Grand Prix - This features practice runs, qualifying options, as well as the option to just run the race. Lap settings can be adjusted as well as difficulty. There is the possibility to play with any of the drivers from the 2011 Formula One World Championship.
Three Season Career Mode - This is perfect for those who want a more challenging and lengthy experience. You start off as your own driver and you have three seasons to get to the very top of Formula 1. When you perform well, contracts are offered and you can jump to higher teams.
Multiplayer - A maximum of four players can use the multiplayer feature when they connect through a network.
Car Handling- The car handling of this game is terrific. Everything about F1 is there to behold. Even details such as KERS and DRS are available, something most did not anticipate from this game.
The AI is also much improved from other versions of F1 games on mini gaming devices. While it is certainly not as intelligent as in the XBOX, PC or PS3 versions, it is very respectable. On hard settings, the AI will be a good challenge and it is not an easy task to win races. Playing on the career mode will be a true test of skill, as a person starts off with one of the slower F1 cars.
Challenge Mode - Various challenges can be done against current F1 drivers. This means that there is a challenge for each of the most famous F1 champions. Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso, Michael Schumacher, and Jenson Button are all featured in these F1 challenges. The challenges include a specific situation and a task that must be completed. This can be done in various difficulty levels. It certainly makes for a good time to try and get all of the challenges done.
The major difference between the PS Vita version to regular console versions is the trickiness of the handling. While all the features of F1 handling are there, it is definitely much easier to handle the car on the PS Vita. There are less details involved in car handling and corners are a lot easier to navigate at higher speed.
It is definitely not a simulation game, so those who are looking for that will be disappointed. The purpose of F1 2011 is to give PS Vita users a chance to play a game associated with their favorite sport.

How does one drive business agility in these tough economic times? This was a question posed to the audience by Adebayo Sanni, Country Managing Director of Oracle Nigeria, during the recently concluded Oracle CEO forum.
For today's CEOs in Nigeria, certain challenges persist, such as how to increase market share or improve client relationships, or how to introduce innovative products into the market, to name a few. As earnings per share continue to decrease, customers' demand for quality services on the other hand continue to increase. As a result, CEOs need to be creative in order to deliver services to their clients and gain market share, while at the same time reducing the costs of doing business.
To achieve these objectives, innovation was discussed as a key lever. Not just any kind of innovation however – Innovation still bears a cost and driving down cost is an essential component in a recession strategy. Disruptive innovation, one that will propel the business to become an outlier and create entirely new business and revenue lines, is what is needed. Recent examples in transportation such as Uber, hospitality such as Airbnb, entertainment such as Netflix, or in Nigeria e-commerce platforms such as Jumia and Konga, represent the kind of disruptors that are needed. For businesses today, business as usual is no longer an acceptable norm. Change has arrived in Nigeria too, and only firms who are able to participate in the necessary transformation quickly will remain competitive.
The need for speed in adoption is essential, especially as competitive forces continue to push into the market shares of even the most celebrated disruptors. For instance, disruptors such as Uber now have competitive spin-offs such as MyTaxi and GetTaxi. Hence the need for speed and agility in adopting innovation remains necessary to retain number one positions and maximise market shares.
The "new" oil – data driving innovation
Another competitive advantage that can be sought is through the innovative utilisation of data. Traditional industries such as manufacturing are using data to improve service delivery, thus cutting down time and costs. GE for instance is applying maintenance history data to predict and improve machine maintenance requirements. Airbus is taking a similar approach by using existing data to improve time spent in the supply chain to repair aeroplanes, driving down time (and costs) from many weeks to now just a few.
Data is now driving innovation. It is important to be able to capture, manage and interpret or monetise the data to drive value through innovative solutions. However, certain challenges exist within this process. First is the ability to attain the technical resources or required technology to store the data. Second it is important to have the human resources that can capture the data accurately and then interpret or monetise it.
As a result, data is becoming an essential part of corporate strategy. For firms to increase their market share, they need to either increase their revenues through cross selling products to new or existing clients, or through managing their costs by adopting strategies such as outsourcing solutions, strategic sourcing, head count optimisation, process optimisation or capital productivity.
Designing the ideal corporate strategy means a reliance on data concerning the businesses –analysing the past to determine the future. Innovation in data technology is thus a game changer for corporate strategy.
Technology adoption in real estate strategies
Firms in Nigeria, especially those with large portfolios like banking industry, have begun to understand the importance of accurate data and technology as innovative differentiators. Banks have begun to use technology to address their sourcing demands or manage their vendors. Some have developed in-house real estate databases to establish a real estate index and validate their pricing (price discovery).
Others have taken things a step further to conduct portfolio optimisation exercises to reduce their real estate footprint and costs. Requiring a large amount of internal and external market data, these optimisation exercises are designed to match the firm's real estate to their business strategy. For banks, such a strategy could mean the elimination of large floor plates and the adoption of a smaller more nimble branch network. Other banks have adopted technology into their internal processes. Creating paperless environments, and adopting video conferencing and other technology that increases mobility and connectivity between businesses and clients alike – while at the same time driving down costs.
Innovation in data and technology will enable Nigeria to leapfrog over the current infrastructure limitations and economic woes to a brighter and more sustainable future.

I recently borrowed a movie from the library...Waitress. I know, I know, but it was a feel good movie. I especially liked it when the main character named the pies she was making like " I hate my husband pie". It was funny:P The ending of the movie is good too, I won't give it away because that would be lame. Anywho....when I make pies I think of this movie. I made this for Ocean's birthday!
- 1 box silken tofu
- 2 bananas
- 1 cup of dark chocolate-melted in a bain marie
- 1 tbsp cornstarch-mixed with 1 1/2 tsp soy milk
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
In a blender, add tofu and mix until creamy, add bananas.
Melt chocolate in a bowl on top of a pot of boiling water (bain marie),
Add to blender, add cornstarch and maple syrup.
Pour into a precooked pie crust, and place in the fridge for as long as possible.
(I sprinkled chocolate shavings and crushed peanuts around the edge, to make it pretty:)

Women's Outdoor T&F Athletes of the Week - No. 7
By Chad Waller, NAIA Director of Communications & Sports Information
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Jenna Higgins of Mount Mercy (Iowa) has been named the NAIA National Women's Outdoor Field Athlete of The Week and Nikita Tracey of Oklahoma Baptist has been honored as the NAIA National Women's Track Athlete of The Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Higgins and Tracey were selected based on their performances from April 23 - 29 and are the final awards of the 2012 season. Tracey is the fifth-straight Bison athlete to garner the outdoor track weekly honor.
Higgins, a junior from Eldridge, Iowa, bettered her own school record for the third-consecutive week, this time coming at the Drake Relays in Des Moines, Iowa. She posted a 160-0 toss in the javelin, which was a NAIA automatic qualifying mark and the best in the nation this year. She reached 160 feet for the first time ever and the three competitors that finished ahead of her were NCAA Division I athletes.
Tracey, a sophomore from Clarendon, Jamaica, improved her NAIA-leading time in the 400-meter hurdles by more than a second at the Drake Relays. She finished third out of 23 runners with a time of 57.89 and was only beaten out by two NCAA Division I athletes. Tracey also was on the school-record 4x200 relay team (1:36.0) and the 4x800 relay team (9:03.45) that turned in the NAIA's best time of the season. Both of those efforts resulted in first-place finishes in the college division.

The manufacturer is the metalware firm F. W. Quist of Esslingen, Germany. They registered their first mark (not this one) in 1900, but the mark you show is listed in my copy of the 1925 German Goldsmith's Yearbook. Quist is far better known, however, as one of the leading manufacturers of military helmets during WWII. They are no longer in business, no doubt in part thanks to their position as a prominent supplier to the Third Reich. Try googling "Esslingen" and "Quist" and see what you find.

Find a Missing File inside a Windows 8 Desktop Folder
Windows 8 includes a Search box in every desktop folder's upper-right corner. That Search box limits your search to files within that particular folder. In comparison, the Start screen's Search pane probes the entire Windows 8 index, which includes a lot of information. But that's overkill when you're poking around inside a single desktop folder, looking for a missing file.
To find a missing file within a specific folder, click inside that folder's Search box and begin typing a word or short phrase from your missing file. As you type letters and words, Windows 8 begins filtering out files that are missing your sought-after word or phrase. It keeps narrowing down the candidates until the folder displays only a few files, including, hopefully, your runaway file.
When a folder's Search box locates too many possible matches, bring in some other helping hands: the headers above each column. (For best results, select the Details option in the View tab's Layout group, which lines up your filenames in one column.) The first column, Name, lists the name of each file; the adjacent columns list specific details about each file.
See the column headers, such as Name, Date Modified, and Type, atop each column? Click any of those headers to sort your files by that term. Here's how to sort by some of the column headers in your Documents folder:
Name: Know the first letter of your file's name? Then click here to sort your files alphabetically. You can then pluck your file from the list. (Click Name again to reverse the sort order.)
Date Modified: When you remember the approximate date you last changed a document, click the Date Modified header. That places your newest files atop the list, making them easy to locate. (Clicking Date Modified again reverses the order, a handy way to weed out old files you may no longer need.)
Type: This header sorts files by their contents. All your photos group together, for example, as do all your Word documents. It's a handy way to find a few stray photos swimming in a sea of text files.
Size: Sorting here places your 45-page thesis on one end, with your grocery list on the other.
Authors: Microsoft Word and other programs tack your name onto your work. A click on this label alphabetically sorts the files by their creators' names.
Tags: Windows 8 often lets you assign tags to your documents and photos. Adding the tag "Moldy Cheese" to that pungent photo session lets you retrieve those pictures by either typing its tag or sorting a folder's files by their tags.
Whether you're viewing your files as thumbnails, icons, or filenames, the column headers always provide a handy way to sort your files quickly.
Folders usually display about five columns of details, but you can add more columns. In fact, you can sort files by their word count, song length, photo size, creation date, and dozens of other details. To see a list of available detail columns, right-click an existing label along a column's top.
When the drop-down menu appears, select More to see the Choose Details dialog box. Click to put check marks next to the new detail columns you'd like to see and then click OK.
Folders living outside your libraries aren't indexed. Searching through nonindexed files takes much longer than searching inside your libraries.

Six months after buzz for the Cataclysm expansion drove World of Warcraft numbers to an all-time high, Blizzard reports the lowest subscription figures for the massively multiplayer game since December of 2008.
During the Activision Blizzard first quarter 2011 financial results conference call today, Blizzard president and co-founder Mike Morhaime told us that as of March of this year, World of Warcraft numbers had "returned to pre-Cataclysm levels in the West", which is a rather nice way of saying dropped considerably.
In October 2010, two months before the release of the Cataclysm expansion pack, Blizzard reported that World of Warcraft had exceeded 12 million subscribers. Today Morhaime gave a figure of 11.4 million. That's 600,000 subscribers gone.
Morhaime said that subscriptions had returned to pre-Cataclysm levels. They've nearly dropped to pre-Wrath of the Lich King levels, to be accurate. A month after the second expansion pack's November 2008 release, subscription rates hit 11.5 million. A little over two months' prior they had just hit 11 million.
Of course we've got to mind the gap. It's highly likely that in the nearly two years separating Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm the numbers dropped below 11.5 million and Blizzard simply hadn't reported it.
Still, the numbers are somewhat discouraging. Going strictly by the figures we do have, World of Warcraft lost 600,000 players shortly after the release of a major expansion pack.
I wouldn't dig a grave for World of Warcraft any time soon, however. Considering there are big-name MMO titles out there operating with one one-hundredth of the subscriber base, the world of Azeroth will be in fine shape for years to come.

NAIA Wrestler of the Week ? No. 4
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Keaton Thomas of Lindsey Wilson (Ky.) has been named the NAIA National Wrestler of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Thomas was selected based on his performances from Jan. 27 – Feb. 2 and was chosen out of a pool of nominees from the four Qualifying Groups.
Thomas, a junior from Morganfield, Ky., recorded a 2-0 record during the week with both victories coming against higher-ranked opponents. In the Blue Raiders Jan. 28 dual against No. 5 Campbellsville (Ky.), Thomas defeated fourth-ranked Tyler Alsip, 6-5. Three days later, the 15th-ranked 133-pounder claimed a major decision (11-3) win against No. 11 Andrew Tillman of No. 9 Cumberlands (Ky.).

|Tom Arth led John Carroll to
Division III prominence as a player.
JCU athletics photo
John Carroll has turned to one of its own to guide its football
Tom Arth, a former Division III All-American quarterback for the Blue Streaks as well as an NFL quarterback with the Indianapolis Colts, has been named the 17th head football coach in the program's 92-year history. He replaces Regis Scafe, who was let go in November after 14 seasons with an 88-56 mark.
Arth has been an assistant coach and co-offensive coordinator
for his alma mater over the past three seasons. He was a
D3football.com first-team All-America selection at quarterback in 2001
and a
second-team pick in 2002.
"Tom has demonstrated leadership qualities, football expertise, and the ability to engage people which will take our football program to the next level of success," said Laurie Massa, John Carroll's athletic director. "His experiences in the NFL, the business world, and at John Carroll have given him skill sets with a mission focus that will serve us well as we work towards our goals of championships and student development."
In being named to this position, Arth joins Jerry Schweickert (1965-1976), Frank Amato (1984-86) and Tony DeCarlo (1987-1998) as the only John Carroll graduates to serve as head coach of Blue Streaks football team. Arth also joins Schweickert and Amato as former Blue Streak players to have ascended to the head coach position.
"I am motivated by the challenge and humbled by the opportunity to lead our football program and serve the John Carroll University community," said Arth, who replaces Regis Scafe as the school's third head football coach since 1987. "I am so proud to represent a university that is committed to leadership, service, academic excellence, and most importantly to helping young people realize the God-given potential they have to succeed and to make a difference in our world."
|As a player, Tom Arth led
John Carroll through a barnstorming tour of the East bracket in the
2002 playoffs, leading the Blue Streaks to the national semifinals
despite being injured and despite playing every game on the
D3sports.com 2002 file photo
During his coaching tenure at JCU, Arth has served as a quarterbacks coach, co-offensive coordinator, assistant recruiting coordinator, and director of football operations. He helped the Blue & Gold offense average 396 yards and 28.9 points per game in the last three seasons, and has mentored quarterbacks Devin O'Brien, winner of the 2011 Bob Packard Award for most outstanding offensive back in the Ohio Athletic Conference, and Mark Myers, one of the nation's leading passers in 2012.
From 1999-2002, Arth set 18 John Carroll football records as its
quarterback, earning unanimous All-American honors as a junior and
senior. In 2002, he guided the Blue Streaks to a 12-2 record,
an East region championship, and a berth in the NCAA Division III
national semifinals for the first time in program history.
After graduating from John Carroll in 2003, Arth signed a free agent contract with the NFL's Indianapolis Colts, where he spent three seasons as a backup to quarterback Peyton Manning. He also had stints with the Green Bay Packers, as well as NFL Europe and the Arena Football League.
Arth, who assumes the head coaching position effective immediately, aims to re-establish the Blue Streaks as an OAC championship contender while exemplifying and instilling into his players Jesuit ideals.
"We will passionately pursue perfection and in doing so will create a culture of excellence," said Arth. "John Carroll football players will respect, value, and trust one another. They will be willing to sacrifice and persevere to accomplish team goals, and they will be ingrained with a relentless belief in themselves and their ability to achieve greatness."

Exploring Connections
|Introduction | Try It Yourself: 3D Figures/Isometric Dot Paper | Problem Reflection | Summary | Your Journal
The interactive activity below asks you to draw three-dimensional figures on two-dimensional isometric dot paper.
This activity begins with two different views of a unit cube drawn on isometric dot paper. These are the only two possible views, because all six faces are the same color. However, if any one or more faces had identifying marks, such as a different color or letter, then other views would be possible.
Tip: Build the figures at home using unit cubes. Try holding the cubes in different orientations so you can see the possibilities in both the three-dimensional "real world" and the two-dimensional representations on the isometric dot paper.

Ground Tackle: Selecting Anchors and Rodes
By Don Casey
Boaters tend to be opinionated about anchors, but you should regard such opinions-whether praise or scorn-with a healthy dose of skepticism. The inconvenient truth is that no single anchor is the best in all conditions.
Anchor types
What anchor should you carry? That depends almost entirely on what type of bottom you most often expect to plant that anchor in. Just because an anchor is normally good in a particular bottom is not a guarantee. Sand that is too hard, mud that is too soft, weed that is too thick, or rock that is too smooth can frustrate any anchor.
Large mushroom anchors are used for moorings, and small, plastic-coated mushrooms-sometimes modified to have flukes-make convenient and foul-free day anchors for the soft ooze of river bottoms. Otherwise, however, neither grapnel nor mushroom anchors provide adequate holding power (relative to their weight) to function as a working anchor on anything but a small skiff or canoe in smooth waters.
Stowability can also influence your anchor-selection. The lightweight anchor stows flat, which (along with light weight) accounts for its overwhelming popularity for small craft. The plow and the scoop types are both awkward to stow on deck. These two are more often stowed on special bow fittings that carry the flukes outboard. Such fittings also make these anchors easy to deploy and retrieve. The yachtsman anchor is the most awkward of all to stow unless it folds or dismantles, but when it is stowed dismantled, it is also the least convenient to deploy.
Anchor size
Once you have decided on type, what size do you need? Anchor manufacturers provide convenient size recommendations based on boat length. Unfortunately, anchor loads are far more dependent on weight and windage, so use manufacturer's recommendations as a starting point only. If your boat is heavier than other boats of the same length, or if it has a higher above-the-water profile, you need a larger anchor than the chart recommends. Likewise, if your boating area could be called windy and/or your anchorages are relatively exposed, get a bigger anchor. Be aware that holding power claims are based on ideal anchoring conditions. In ooze or grass or gravel, holding power will be less — often much less. When it comes to holding, there is only one absolute-the larger the anchor of a given type, the more holding power it will deliver. An anchor one or two sizes larger than the chart recommends helps to compensate for real-world bottom conditions. No anchor ever dragged because it was too big.
You can attach the boat to the anchor with rope, chain, or a combination of the two. Rope is the overwhelming favorite, usually with a length of chain at the anchor end. Use nylon rope only. Nylon rope is strong, light, easy to handle, and elastic, the latter a most desirable characteristic in an anchor rode. Three-strand offers the dual advantages of greater elasticity and lower cost, but where the anchor line will be fed through a deck pipe for stowage, the added flexibility of braided nylon can make it a better choice.
Determining how long your anchor rode should be is as simple as multiplying the deepest water you expect to anchor in by 8. As for rope size, the rule of thumb is 1/8" of rope diameter for every 9' of boat length. So if you expect to anchor your 26' boat in 30' of water, you need 240' of 3/8" nylon rope. Unlike oversizing the anchor, oversizing the line is not recommended because that reduces its beneficial elasticity. As a practical matter, however, rope with a diameter smaller than 3/8" is difficult to grip.
In an emergency the line can be tied to the chain or the anchor using an anchor bend, but for regular use give the end of the line an eye splice around a thimble, and shackle the line to the chain.
An all-chain rode has the advantage of being impervious to abrasion, making it the choice where sharp corals are a risk. But chain is heavy to lift and heavy to carry. Pleasure boats not headed for the South Seas will find a chain lead inserted between anchor and rope rode sufficient to take most of the abrasion. If the chain is long enough, its weight also helps the anchor to set more quickly and securely. How long is long enough? I like to see at least 20' of chain between anchor and line. I have 30' of chain on my anchors.
Of the four types of chain commonly available-proof coil, BBB, high-test, and stainless steel-proof coil is the least expensive and always the default choice unless you have a specific reason to select one of the others. The shorter links of BBB make it slightly heavier but no stronger. Choose it only if you have an anchor windlass configured for BBB chain. High-test chain is half again as strong as proof coil and BBB. Because that typically allows you to use a size smaller, high-test chain reduces the weight of the ground tackle — a benefit for performance boats. Stainless steel chain is very expensive, but its corrosion resistance assures a long life.
Proof coil is available with a vinyl coating that serves to protect the deck from marring. But because chain with a vinyl coating will no longer stack into a compact pile, it is only suitable for short leads.
Chain leads should be half the diameter of the line they attach to-for example, use 1/4-inch chain with 1/2-inch line. Shackles should be a size larger than the chain, and be sure you wire the pin to keep it from coming unscrewed.
Scope is the ratio of the length of deployed anchor rode to the height of the bow chock above the seabed. The greater the scope the more horizontal the pull on the anchor, and the better it will hold. Pegging 10:1 as the maximum practical scope, the table shows the average relative holding power associated with shorter scope.
|Holding Power
To determine how much rode to let out to get a 7:1 scope, you measure the depth of the water, add the boat's freeboard at the bow, and multiply that sum by 7. But knowing the needed length won't help you a bit unless you can determine when you have let out that much rode, so the very first thing to do with your new anchor line is to mark it. You can do this with a marking pen, but short yarns or tapes inserted through the strands is more durable and can be identified in the dark by feel. Five-fathom (30') increments are adequate and compatible with depth measurements in feet, fathoms, or meters.
Abrasion is your anchor line's worst enemy. Chafe protection should be an integral component of your anchor rode. My rodes run through a length of reinforced hose that is always ready to slide into place, but you may find some other means — commercial split-hose protector, for example — more convenient. Even with chafe protection, make sure chocks are smooth and without sharp edges.

Mexican bean dip
Photo by Tamara West
Once called 'poor man's meat', and considered an inferior food for peasants, today beans are a star feature of the hip eateries and restaurants that fashionable foodies flock to.
Beware, this can be quite spicy - depending on how much chilli you decide to use, of course. Makes approximately 3 cups.
To serve
|1 bunch
|Coriander, chopped
|1 punnet
|Plain unsweetened yoghurt
|Green chilli, chopped, optional
|1 packet
|Corn chips
- Heat oil in a fry pan on medium heat. Saute onion, garlic and cumin until onion is soft (about 4-5 minutes).
- Tip onion mixture into a food processor with chilli if using, beans, chipotle sauce and lime/lemon juice. Blitz until well combined. Season to taste with salt and pepper, and more lime juice if needed.
- To serve, warm dip up in the microwave or stove top, top with a good dollop of yoghurt or sour cream and garnish with coriander and green chilli if using. Serve dip warm with corn chips.

Antiparos | Cyclades
Once the boho alternative to the cosmopolitan lifestyle of Paros, the tiny island of Antiparos has become over the last few years the best kept secret of the world's rich and famous. And understandably so, with sophisticated bars, chic restaurants and uber-stylish boutiques seamlessly blending in with the established pretty shops and authentic tavernas.
Small, but perfectly formed, low-key, offering the perfect summer-vibe, yet cheerfully lively - this unassuming yet stunning island offers a hip interpretation of the traditional Cycladic style, and a truly lovely holiday experience, with a hint of the exclusive, but with a welcoming smile.
The slightly more touristy waterfront and main street give way to a winding maze of white-washed alleys decorated beautifully by the stunning colours of the bougainvillea. The ambience is easy-going and intimate, the beaches are beautiful and unspoilt, and the shopping surprisingly good for an island of this size.
The island is ideal for those who value privacy, an authentically Greek experience and beautiful unspoilt surroundings, but don't want to give up on the comfort, luxury and convenience usually offered by an established destination. The island boasts beautiful sandy beaches, a fascinating cave with stalactites and stalagmites and three nearby uninhabited islets that are perfect for daily excursions.
The townAntiparos is a small island so you can find almost anything you will need within walking distance. The island's town offers plenty of restaurants, cafes and bars, with new ones opening every year.
Agios GeorgiosIf you want to escape the peak season crowds, though, you can head to the beach of Agios Georgios, about 10km from the town, home of the traditional Pipinos taverna, one of the island's best kept secrets.
The caveOn the south-east part of the island, tucked in the hill of Agios Ioannis, you will find the cave of Antiparos, where you can climb down the 400 or so steps to see the impressive formations of stalactites and stalagmites.
DespotikoA tiny uninhabited islet off the coast of Antiparos, Despotiko is an unknown gem with spectacular beaches and an archaeological site of great interest. The islet was once an important place of worship for ancient Parians, with temples and artefacts dedicated to Apollo and his sister Artemis.
The island's town is a traditional Cycladic settlement with cobbled streets, white-washed houses and colorful geraniums and bougainvillea around every corner. The main street features a number of shops and boutiques that are surprisingly stylish and feature Greek and international chic brands. There are also some great dining options and a surprisingly lively nightlife.
If you are a sports enthusiast, the stretch between Paros and Antiparos is a well-known wind-surfing and kite-surfing spot favoured by locals and foreigners alike. Last but not least, if you are in a cosmopolitan mood, Paros is only a 10minute boat ride away and the ferries that connect the two islands leave every half hour.
To get to Antiparos, you have to first go to Paros and then catch a boat to Antiparos. The ride lasts 10 minutes and the boats leave every 30 minutes. You can get to Paros either by plane from Athens or by ferry from the ports of Piraeus and Rafina. The flight takes about 20 minutes while the ferry ride from Piraeus is 4hrs 15min and the ferry from Rafina is 3hrs 30min.
Although small and ideal for alternative vacationing, Antiparos boasts a fine selection of holiday villas to rent dispersed throughout its extend. Mostly adequate for two couples, a family or a small group friends the luxurious private villas with pool found on the island of Antiparos offer the utmost of comfort in their refined interior and exterior spaces perfectly attuned with the wild nature around them.

Integrated Electrical Services (IES), Houston, the nation's largest electrical and communications contracting company, has invested $1 million in Metstream Communications, a Portland, Ore.-based Integrated Communications Service Provider (ICP).
Metstream plans to target high-density residential communities with next-generation broadband services. Metstream completed a $4 million, "Series-A Preferred" private stock offering to accelerate its rollout of services throughout the Pacific Northwest. Vertex, a Silicon Valley venture capital firm, led the round, along with (IES). The capital will be used principally to speed up hiring and the build-out of MetStream's Digital Media Gateways in Portland and Seattle.
"Metstream has demonstrated a compelling vision for the telecom industry," said Dave Ramm, president and CEO of Integrated Electrical Services. "Our participation in Metstream Communications is consistent with IES' strategic vision to leverage its exposure to emerging technologies that supplement our complementary core businesses of electrical and communications services."
Ramm said MetStream will bypass incumbent providers of cable, voice and data services in order to bring its broadband services to multiunit housing developments and hospitality industries. "Service packages are bundled and offered to consumers at competitive prices and in one simple integrated monthly bill," he said.
Metstream is a next-generation Integrated Communications Provider of digital television, video-on-demand, Internet access, hosted IP applications, and telephony services primarily targeting the apartment and condominium communities.

Superb silver medal and victory in the overall World Cup for the lightweight four on the Rotsee
At 11:03 am last Sunday you could not move neart the Rotsee because of a big crowd cheering for their teams. No wonder, at this time the Final of the lightweight men's four was announced and within this: the Swiss flagship. After a victory in the first World Cup in May and a second place at the second World Cup in Varese just a month ago, there was the possibility that the Swiss team could win the overall World Cup - the last time a Swiss crew managed this was Gier/Lätt in 2001 in the lightweight double.
An unusually restrained start made the Swiss rowing quartet cross the 500m mark in fifth position, then turning up stroke by stroke and fighting their way into third position at half way. The closer the event came to the finishing area, the Rotsee turned into a lions den: cowbells and loud "Go Switzerland" from the raging crowd nearly drowned out the commentator in the last 500m. The New Zealanders were able to to save their lead over the finish line. Thanks to the second place, the Swiss took the overall World Cup of this season in the lightweight four.
SCHURTER AG extends its congratulations to the athletes and is delighted to continue supporting Swiss rowing in the future.
