Thomas Jefferson was a staunch supporter of religious liberty, but his quest to make sure church and state stayed separate in American politics earned...
Read Whole Story
Jefferson, much the deist, held to the idea of a "designer" to explain the scientific origin of the universe. Enlightenment thinkers called this designer the "great clockmaker," but he was not the same God that interceded in the cosmos.
I'm going to take on another of pseudo-historian David Barton's favorite lies: that Thomas Jefferson dated his presidential documents "in the year of our Lord Christ.'

548 Tasting Notes
I needed something very yummy and delicious tonight. I've had quite the last… week, but mostly 24hrs. It's a lot to type and I'm far too tired to type it out, but I will say this. Yesterday was terrible 'cause I was feeling guilty and my son was definitely going to have surgery, but after talking to a chiropractor today, there's a chance that they might be able to help him and hopefully avoid surgery! He's 2 years old btw. I don't want him to need surgery at this age!
Anyways, this is so delicious. I added an extra scoop to this one too. I did 2 PS of this one and 1 tsp of freeze-dried strawberry pieces. It's so delicious and it's helping me relax and just feel better. My son is going to be okay. He's a sweetheart and he'll bounce back either way. I know he will.
Got this one back in December right before baby #2 made his early entrance into the world.
The first time I had it, I didn't care for it at all. I'm so use to Davidstea's matchas that have the sugar in them, that this one really surprised me when it wasn't sweet. So, today I had a thought… why not mix it with a davidstea one and see what happens!
I put one matcha spoon of this one and one of Peach matcha from davidstea. And it was really good! The pineapple was the leading flavour. I didn't really get much peach, but the sweetness of the davidstea peach matcha did come through. So, that made me enjoy this one a lot. And I really liked that it wasn't overly sweet like I sometimes find the davidstea flavoured ones to be. I would absolutely do this mix again. I might even mix this one with the vanilla one next to see how it turns out. Maybe even add a bit more of the davidstea one and see if it can shine a bit more.
Maybe I'm crazy, but there seems to be a few pineapple pieces that showed up? Or did I just not whisk it enough? I didn't like that part at all. I took most of them out. I don't like to eat my matcha. But yeah I would get this one again.And I bet it would be good in orange juice.
This one is minty and sweet, but not too grassy which is nice. I've had my small amount for quite a while so I'm trying to use it up, but I definitely don't grab for it very often. I much prefer the vanilla and the fruity ones that they've had. I really hope strawberry makes a comeback because YUM!
Meant to review this one there other day, so this is going off of memory. I made this as a latte with my hazelnut agave and it was pretty good. It was a bit strong and a bit too sweet as I went a bit nuts on the sweetener, but whatever. I did enjoy it. I'm not sure if I Would get this one again or not…
So, I combined Wild Cherry and Strawberry Kiwi from Citizen Tea as I only had one spoonful of each and I knew that I wouldn't drink these hot.
I'm finding the cherry is definitely overtaking the strawberry. I'm getting little bit of strawberry but not a whole lot… which is okay I guess… probably wouldn't combine these again…
I quite enjoyed this one! I like the mix of chocolate and hazelnut. I have a hazelnut agave here at home, so I would probably add it to the tea and make the nuttiness come out more. Also, I'm planning on trying this one as a latte next 'cause I know it would be delicious! Yummmm!
This one is so much better when it's fresh. My sample amount that I had left wasn't fresh and I could tell. The flavours weren't very good anymore. I was very disappointed with the iced tea I made last night as it didn't really have any good flavour… I ended up tossing what was left of my sample….
Another tea that I shouldn't have hoarded. I think with this one I just kind of forgot I even had it, so it sat around and wasn't enjoyed… It's too bad.
I threw the rest of what I had into my steeper and made it an extra strong iced tea… but I think time has really effected this one as it didn't taste all that great. I ended up tossing what I had made. Something just seemed off….
Stop hoarding tea! A lot of it can't handle it! haha

SD 22.214.171.124 was "working" fine (and by working, I mean, it at least loaded consistently and aside from the plethora of other bugs, it at least functioned). I have NOT installed ANYTHING. And I mean NO-THING. No new mp3s. No new digital mods. Not even any M$ updates. NOTHING. Then about a month or so ago, I started noticing that SD would not complete a load when I started the G4. Then it would **** the bed, and the little tray icon thingy would catch it and ask me if I wanted to restart. OR the other scenario I notice (and I think they're the same, but depending on if SD was stopped or suspended) would be that SD starts "fine", but then when I go to "MUSIC" it exhibits this behavior. All other modules seem to work fine. This is particularly annoying, because SD's whole purpose in life is to play mp3s for the most part. And now, for some unknown reason, it just decided this is a problem for it. I'd say I have a 1:4 chance of it starting and working at this point. I notice that if it does start, and I press the "MUSIC" button, and let's assume that it does actually complete and get me to the screen with all the horizontal buttons (that should really be two columns of buttons, but that's another issue all together), well, that whole process takes a VERY long time. Like something is spinning. Or I assume the CPU is just pegged and so whatever its trying to do, it can't -- hence the delay (or crash).
No announcement yet.

Hello all,
I saw that burning the P-Tex candles doesn't make a clean, quality and permanent reparation.
And I plan to buy the SkiMender RP360, unfortunately I didn't find too much information/reviews on the internet.
If somebody from here is using such a gun please help me with your opinion.
I will try to wrote some punctual questions, but any additional information are welcomed.
- Should I wait until I have more money to buy a professional one? I saw some from 700 Euro to 2300 Euro (but I'm pretty sure that if you have 10 000 euro you can find one )
- I'm wondering if worth the money.
- What about strengths and weaknesses.
- I'm also curious about the P-TEX hole from the plate, how it looks (e.g. I cannot see a hole in the picture below). I'm a little confused.
- Can you make a quality base reparation with it? (in comparison with lighting a P-Tex gun)
- How hard is to use it? (in the presentation video looks very easy)
- Do you have to clean the P-Tex from the plate? (will the P-Tex stick on the plate? )
- How much do you have to wait until the gun plate reaches the nominal temperature value? (Ready to use)
A video or some real images with your gun will be very helpful.
I'm a beginner in ski/snowboard tuning, and I plan to use this gun for 1 pair of skis a day. (as an average)
Thank in advance for your help!

The song will be available to download on iTunes from 6th October and the karaoke competition can be found on the Yeo Valley Facebook page from 8th October.

by Czeslaw MiloszEnglish version by Czeslaw Milosz and Robert Hass
Original Language Polish
We were riding through frozen fields in a wagon at dawn.
A red wing rose in the darkness.
And suddenly a hare ran across the road.
One of us pointed to it with his hand.
That was long ago. Today neither of them is alive,
Not the hare, nor the man who made the gesture.
O my love, where are they, where are they going?
The flash of a hand, streak of movement, rustle of pebbles.
I ask not out of sorrow, but in wonder.

Catalog of Bryophytes
The L.E. Anderson Bryophyte Herbarium now provides a major portion of the herbarium specimen records online. The online catalog is updated biweekly. Cataloging the Southeast US specimens has been completed and cataloging of all North American specimens is well under way. Specimens from other parts of the world have been cataloged when used for scientific research, or on loan. All new accessions into the collection have been cataloged since 2000.
Specify 6 is used for managing the bryophyte catalog. Part of the records are being transcribed from label images on the Symbiota-run Bryophyte Portal. Once the transcription phase is completed, these records will be imported to the institutional database. All records combined can be searched online here.
The Bryophyte Voucher Search option has been discontinued. Please email B. Shaw with requests for collection data of all specimens used for scientific research including the voucher details. Vouchers are labeled as culture, cytological, DNA, ecological, isozyme, morphological.
The list of Duke exsiccatae series is available here.
Questions about the online catalog or its use should be addressed to B. Shaw.
The author abbreviations of scientific names are used according to MOSs TROPICOS database.
The name of the person who made the determination, and names of collectors are presented in the format: Last name, First name, Middle initial.
Users have the option to download all Search Results in comma-delimited text file from the Bryophyte portal.
Specimen identifiers
DUKE bryophyte herbarium uses barcode as a unique identifier. Barcode refers to the barcode attached to the specimen. Specimens cataloged early in our databasing efforts at Duke do not have barcodes. Specimens of epiphyllous liverworts consisting of multiple taxa on the same substrate (leaf) contain multiple barcodes.
In the past, we've used Catalog number, a number assigned automatically during the cataloging in Specify 5 databasing system. It has been abandoned during migration to Specify 6 collection management software.
When requesting a particular specimen on loan it is helpful to cite the Barcode number.
Cannot find your taxon in the catalog?
Try other nomenclatural combinations of the taxon name. We welcome your feedback on errors in our data related to taxonomic and nomenclatural synonyms! Contact .
Using non-english alphabet?
Please try searching persons and localities both with and without accents in the names. Send us your feedback.
Are images of the plant or the specimen label available?
We've started to build a collection of bryophyte images. They are available as part of the bryophyte portal. Specimen label images are available for part of the North American moss collection, and most of the liverwort collection.
Am I searching your database directly?
The web search is querying a web cache; you are not searching the catalog directly. The web cache is being updated weekly.
Unsolvable problems?
Contact us.
Databasing bryophyte records in DUKE was supported by NSF grant award no. 0444586 to A.J. Shaw, NSF grant award no. 1115001 to F. Lutzoni & A.J. Shaw, and by the Duke University. This project would not have been successful without generous IT support of Susan Gerbeth Jones, Blaine Ott, and Specify software team.

Tell the students what a rich picture looks like, and what it is used for. You can tell the students that a rich picture is a diagram with pictures. The pictures show how the main idea and the smaller ideas connect with one another. Rich pictures are used for brainstorming, devising new ideas, and organising information.
- 2
Determine the subject of your rich picture. One of the most effective ways to explain rich pictures is to give an example of rich pictures. You may choose to create a rich picture about designing a dress.
- 3
Make an outline of your information. On a separate sheet of paper, write down ideas that correspond to designing a dress. You can write about the type of fabric, such as cotton or wool. You may write the target audience, which is women. You can also write down materials, such as a sewing machine, a needle, and thread. Tell the students that these ideas will be used in the rich picture.
- 4
Make the concept map for the rich picture. Write the words "Dress Design" at the centre. Draw three lines and three arrows pointing away from the words "Dress Design." After one arrow, write "Fabric." For the other arrow, write "Audience," and for the other arrow, write "Materials." Show the students that the fabric, audience, and materials are the next smaller ideas after the concept of the dress design.
- 5
Fill in the other ideas of the rich picture. As you write down the other components of the rich picture, you can tell the students how one idea leads to other ideas. For example, after the word "Fabric," draw two lines and two arrows. Write "Cotton" after one arrow, and "Wool" after the other. After the word "Audience," make a line and an arrow, and write "Women." After the word "Materials," draw three lines and three arrows. At the end of one arrow, write "Sewing Machine." After the other, write "Needle," and after the other, write "Thread."
- 6
Draw the pictures that relate to each of the ideas presented within the concept map. For example, for the "Dress Design," you can draw a picture of a dress underneath. Then, colour the pictures.
- 7
Show the students how you can consider your main idea more clearly based on the organisation of the rich picture. For example, identifying the picture of the sewing machine will immediately alert you that this is a piece of equipment you will need in order to make the dress. Looking at the picture is much faster than reading each of the words. Therefore, rich pictures are efficient.

Post-translational modification of histones and DNA methylation are important components of chromatin-level control of genome activity in eukaryotes. However, principles governing the combinatorial association of chromatin marks along the genome remain poorly understood.

Profiling of DNA and histone modifications has recently allowed the establishment of reference epigenomes from several model organisms. This identified a major chromatin state for active genes that contains monoubiquitinated H2B (H2Bub), a mark linked to transcription elongation.

Fairplay, Colorado
Looking over Fairplay from the northwest
Fairplay was founded in 1859 by gold prospectors who'd been driven from nearby Tarryall. The miners at Tarryall had staked more claims than they could possibly work but they wouldn't give up anything to the newcomers and chased them all away. Fairplay got its name from these new prospectors who were willing to guarantee that any newcomer would "get a Fair Play" there. In the end, Tarryall is gone and Fairplay is still here, a thriving community built at almost 10,000 feet in elevation.
The church pictured to the left was built in 1874, as was the old courthouse pictured below. Fairplay is filled with historic buildings from the period including the reconstructed town of South Park City.
There is a photo below of a lake on the outskirts of Fairplay. That lake was probably created by the action of mining dredges working their way through the streambed gravels of the South Platte River. All around Fairplay and up into the mountains around Alma you can see the mounds and ridges of gravel that was dug up, sifted through for the gold and silver content and then dumped along the way. During the Great Depression there was a large influx of the unemployed who came to work over the remains of many of the old mines and tailings dumps. Every time there is a major upswing in global mineral prices the area sees new businesses coming in to rework the old mines and try to search out new mineral finds. Mining is still a major employer here but tourism has become the primary money-maker.
During the last weekend of July, Fairplay hosts the "Burro Days" Festival, an event that commemorates the area's mining heritage. A 29-mile burro race (one person, one burro) from Fairplay to the 13,000-foot summit of Mosquito Pass is the main event of the festival. The 1st prize is $1,000 and takes about 5 hours to complete.
West of Fairplay is Mt. Sherman (14,036'), to the northwest is Mt. Democrat (14,148'), Mt. Bross (14,172'), Mt. Cameron (14,239') and Mt. Lincoln (14,286'), and to the north is Mt. Silverheels (13,822').

Borvig Chairlift at Highland to Close fo...
Located southeast of Tilton, the Highlands ski area operated for nearly three decades on the north face of Bean Hill.
Early Skiing Attempts at Bean Hill
Prior to the construction of the Highlands, Bean Hill was home to an alpine ski trail named the Bean Hill Trail. Though the constructed in the CCC trail building decade of the 1930s, it is unknown if the organization was involved with the Bean Hill Trail.
The Highlands circa the late 1960s or early 1970s
Plans for a lift served ski area on Bean Hill were developed in 1965, however interested parties were unable to obtain adequate funds. In August of 1967, the non-profit Northfield Development Corporation was founded by locals. With the company established, $160,000 in Small Business Administration loans were able to be obtained for the development of a ski area on Bean Hill. In October of 1967, Highland Ski Area, Inc. was created.
The Highlands ski area debuted for the 1968-69 season with two T-Bars, two rope tows, two slopes, and 6 miles of trails, apparently designed to resemble a mini-
. Night skiing was also available.
The area was advertised as a family operation (run by Robert Elliott, his wife, and three teenage children) geared toward families. Elliott, who also headed up the ski school, was advertised as famous for being "one of the somersaulting skiers at Killington."
By the early 1970s the area had added a Poma slope and advertised 7 trails. The base lodge featured a snack bar, ski shop, nursery, and fieldstone fireplace. On the other side of the parking lot, the Rob Roy Lounge was advertised for apres ski activities.
While the ownership had planned to install a chairlift and cut trails on the eastern face, development stagnated for some time.
Mid 1980s Development
The Highlands
Big changes were announced in the mid 1980s, as the Highlands looked to move into the modern age with new ownership. Highlands Mountain, Inc. was registered New Hampshire in December of 1985, with Dennis DiPrete (son of Rhode Island Governor Edward DiPrete), Paul Sullivan, Mark Manual, and Paul Marchionda as incorporators. A three year plan commenced, including the installation of snowmaking, more lighting, additional terrain, and condominiums. The expansion was capped with the installation of a new Borvig triple chairlift in 1987.
While a new novice trail was cut from the summit for the 1989-90 season, severe financial problems were mounting. The Highlands found itself on the auction block in December of 1990 and almost did not open for the 1990-91 season.
Richard Shea purchased the ski area at auction circa 1991 and began operating it with his wife and grown sons.
The Highlands made headlines in early 1992 when the Sheas and Rep. Tom Salatiello went to the press with complaints about Belknap County-owned
being given an unfair advantage. Their complaints included the removal of the Highlands sign from Interstate 93 and $100,000 in government funds given to Gunstock for night skiing improvements.
The Highlands' woes continued in 1993 when its electricity was cut off due to mounting debt. A diesel generator was installed to keep the area operational while the bills were paid down.
The idle base area prior to the construction of the bike park (2002)
The Highlands once again ended up on the auction block in October of 1995. Dan Enwright purchased the area for a fraction of the assessed value and was optimistic about its prospects. However, Enwright soon discovered the snowmaking system was non-functional, the lodge in disrepair, and the electrical system a mess. In addition, Enwright ran into issues in obtaining a clean title, so repair work was delayed.
While the area was advertised for the 1995-96 season, it likely never opened. Instead, the ski area fell victim to vandals in the subsequent years.
Highland Mountain Bike Park
The base area in 2013
While nearby ski areas attempted to purchase the triple chairlift, the lift and the ski area sat idle into the early 2000s. The Highlands began to see new life in 2003 when construction of Highland Mountain Bike Park commenced.
Open in the non-winter months, the Highland Mountain Bike Park uses the triple chairlift to transport bikers to the top of the mountain. Ski trails have been filled with various ramps and jumps for talented bikers. There are rumors that limited ski operations could resume at some point in the future.

"The week my youngest nephew was born in 1990 I was picking up his older brothers Ryan and Micheal Dempsey from The Highlands. they had skied all day. I will never forget being stuck in my car, off the side of the road heading up to the lodge. I tried to get out of the car to walk up, and promptly fell on the sheer ice of the road. People were wonderful and tried to push the car out of the snowbank. Somehow the boys knew enough to come down and they had called their step-dad to come to the rescue. He came with a shovel, dug the car out, put shingles under the tires and I was free! Later, while in high school my nephews became Ski Instructors here. They loved it, it was close to home, and a great place for kids. :)"

"I grew up in Northfield-- just down Bay Street from the Elliotts-- and learned to ski at Highlands the first winter it opened. 1968-69. Ernie Hutchins was my instructor. We had so much snow that winter that what my mom referred to as the 'back way' to the mountain-- Turnpike Road to Keasor Road to the road to the lodge-- was impassable half the time. Ernie and Bob Elliott, Jr. were aerial pioneers; they were about the only guys in the country doing flips on skis in 1969. Their tandem jumps were wicked cool. A few years later, Bob, Jr. had a trampoline set up at his house to practice aerials during the summer. From the time I learned to ski until I left for college, my friends and I spent nearly every weekend there was snow at Highlands. The area had a season pass deal for local school kids, which I remember being $35 in the winter of '78-'79. Loved night skiing at Highlands, particularly as a high schooler. No coolers needed for... uhh... refreshments. Just leave them under the car in the parking lot or at the top of #5 in the trees. I loved that little hill. "

"My aunt and uncle managed and then owned the Highlands. Both have since passed. Spent all my winters from 1981-1991 there. Many summers helping to clear brush from slopes. I remember Elmer the handyman and when I was first allowed in the Rob Roy Lounge, lol. Nightskiing, family atmosphere and nighttime parties. I Would like to find a poster or sign for some memories."

"We moved to NH in mid 1968. I went to work for Bob Elliott Sr a week before the area officially opened. It was the great winter of 68/69, one of the heaviest NH snow years ever. In Feb of 69 we had three snowstorms that dropped 78 inches of powder. The snow was so deep that it buried the T-bars and ski racks The area stayed open its first year until mid April.I worked with the Elliott family for over three years. In those days you did a little bit of everything. Bob Jr and I ran the ski school, groomed the slopes, cut brush, tended bar, and just about anything else you could imagine. In 1969 my wife and I build our first home at the bottom of the access road. It was the first house built in the area. Still there I think. Highlands was a family ski area, with most of its customers from the local area, Concord, Manchester, and MA. It was a very successful area in the ten years the Elliotts were owners."
Ernie Hutchins,
Feb. 7, 2014
"We lived in NH from the mid-80's to the mid 90's and remember skiing there a lot of evenings. This is where we learned with our 2 young children, on ICE. It was a learning experience and we grew to enjoy it. Loved seeing the sparks of our edges cutting thru the ice covered slopes. Sad to see it closed, good family and friends there. "

Entering the gate, having on the right hand our beautiful garden with aromatic plants and trees, first on the left hand side comes Athina Epavlis. Countless hours of work, expensive laborious and supervision by the architect Professor Aristomenis Varoudakis needed for the creation of these unique villas with the modern architectural elements, but also evoke other nostalgic times.

Experience the Cretan beauty
In a traditional fishing village by the sea in the magnificent municipality of Chania, in an imposing amphitheatre place with breathtaking sea view and quiet, designed by one of the most famous Greek architects, professor Aristomenis Varoudakis, we created 2 villas, villa Eleni and villa Athina, both of them called Ravdoucha Epavlis.
Both names – given for the sake of the daughters of the owner – refer directly to ancient Greece, Helen, the bone of contention of the Trojan war and the goddess of wisdom in ancient Greece, the goddess Athena.
We choose a site in an unspoilt Mediterranean landscape, without interference of tourist and oriented natural beauty, we created the conditions for the relaxation of the visitors.
The Eleni and Athina villas are unique architectural masterpieces, surpassing in style the standard style, breaking the repetitive routine of holiday villas.

- Totally full privacy between the two villas!
Review copied from TripAdvisor :
Just marvellous ! A completely new, fancy and modern villa with several terraces, an amazing pool and a big barbecue area ! We have been there with 2 adults and 3 kids and enjoyed it very much ! When the owner saw that we are with kids, he extra came back and brought toys for the pool and sweeties. Very calm corner of the island but not far away by car from some beautiful beaches and bays. Highly recommandable ! We will come back for sure.
Everything is included in the price! There are no additional charges in the price!
Payment Schedule
The deposit needed in order to secure the booking is the 25% of the total cost of the reservation.
The remaining balance is due to be paid 21 days prior to the guest's arrival.
We had the most fabulous week in Villa Athina. We knew it was going to be good, but it exceeded our expectations & we didn't want to leave!
Everything had been thought of & the little touches such as the extras we asked for on arrival & the lovely treats kindly brought by the owner made it a holiday to remember.
We were blessed with perfect weather so spent most of the time outside by the pool & on the various floating terraces - we were spoilt for choice for places to take in the breathtaking views of this beautiful desolate part of Crete.
There are not enough superlatives to describe how much we loved Villa Athina & we plan to return again next year.
Just fabulous! ;-)
If you think the pictures are too good to be true, then you will be amazed when you get there! The location on the edge of Ravdoucha gives breathtaking views and everything you need either as a family or a couple is there for you. We were welcomed by the owner Dr. Nikos Manousakis, who made us feel like it was our home and provided all the local knowledge and information you needed, not just on arrival, but throughout the week we were there.
From breakfast on the balcony through afternoons in the pool and evenings on the terrace, this was the perfect place to relax and also an ideal base to explore this part of Crete.
The wonderful beaches of Falassarna, Elafonossi and Balos - Gramvousa (would recommend the boat cruise to get there) are all within easy reach, although having a car with some ground clearence is advisable. If you can take your training shoes and you don't have very young children then also take the opportunity to travel just east of Chania and trek down the cliff to the beautiful secluded beach of Seitan Limania.
But wherever we went, it was the perfect close to the day to come back "home" to Villa Athina and relax, enjoying the spectacular scenes from the balconies and terraces as the sun set over the bay of Kissamos-Kastelli.
We will be back!
This villa was as advertised. Honestly, I can't imagine a nicer place to stay on Crete. The architecture was stunning, the villa was clean and we appreciated the secluded location. Nonetheless, it was well-located for side trips to Chania, Samaria Gorge, Elfonisi Beach, Falasarna and even Knossos. The owner and rental agent were kind and very helpful. The weather was just turning to rain so we missed going to Balos Lagoon. I would recommend this villa to friends and family and would stay there again if I returned to Crete.
Sehr private, ruhige und wunderschöne Lage. Die Ausstattung ist sehr gehoben und modern. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind gut zu erreichen und Chania immer einen Besuch wert. Die Betreuung durch den Vermieter kann besser und netter nicht sein, wir fühlten uns sehr verwöhnt. Wir denken gerne an unseren ersten Kreta Besuch zurück und werden dieses Haus wieder buchen, den besser geht es nicht.
Ravdoucha Village
One of the most beautiful and traditional places in Chania. The village is located on a hill with the memorable view and also is very close to the beach.
Ravdoucha took the name for the Greek name Ravdi, that means that the weather Ravdizei (affects a lot) all the area.
The villa is located 0.5 km away from the Ravdoucha Village centre, 1.3 km from the sea and about 4 km from the national road.
The nearby beach has some Greek fish tavernas, a traditional small Greek Church and also a small fishing port. In addition, the area is suitable for hiking and it is very safe.
Close Getaways from Ravdoucha
Ravdoucha is located near the towns of Kissamos and Kolymbari with banks, supermarkets, pharmacies, health centre, restaurants, beaches and harbour.
Shortly away is Platanias, the entertainment centre of the prefecture of Chania. Platanias is the heart of night-life in Chania and probably the best in Crete, with plenty of night clubs and restaurants of various nationalities. Here you can savour besides the traditional Greek cuisine and fresh fish, the Mexican, Indian, Chinese, Italian and international gourmet cuisine.
PLEASE be advised that the villa may appear on a different 'location category' on Homeaway affiliate websites, depending on their categorized locations (each affiliate webiste has its own 'location categories').

A 10-month-old girl was in stable condition last night after eating crack cocaine that was stored in a shoe box on her bed, the Nassau County police said.
The toddler's mother realized she had eaten the drug after the girl began vomiting and slipping in and out of consciousness about 1 P.M., Officer George Hoeler, a police spokesman, said.
The child, whose name was not released, apparently took an unknown amount of cocaine from a shoe box sitting on a bed where she was resting, Officer Hoeler said.
Her 17-year-old mother, also unidentified, called the police, who took the baby to Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre.
The police arrested the mother's boyfriend, Kelii Denny, 21, but it was not immediately known what charges had been filed against him, said Officer Thomas Brussel, another police spokesman.

Aim: The bone particles harvested during osteotomy could be used as autogenous bone graft materials to correct a bony defect prior to implant placement.
Methods: A simple surgical procedure was described in which autogenous bone was harvested from the drills during the preparation of implant sites. Eleven samples were obtained from bone drilling during fixture installation in 11 patients (5 men and 6 women) with an average age of 57 years. These samples were subjected to histological preparation, in order to evaluate for the presence of viable osteoblasts.
Results: Histological evaluation of the samples suggested that the viability of the bone tissue was maintained.
Conclusion: The results show that this method of harvesting autogenous bone may be useful in situations where small amounts of bone are required.
Keywords: Bone graft, bone harvesting, oral implantology
In our clinical practice, a bone graft is often necessary to correct a bony defect prior to implant placement. Autologous bone is considered to be the "gold standard" for bone grafting,[1-3] as it does not produce adverse reactions and has optimal biocompatible remodeling patterns and osteoinductive capabilities.[4-6] Grafting particulate bone is considered to be a better option than en bloc harvesting due to the former's capacity to adapt to the site of engraftment; it enables a larger quantity of harvested material to be grafted, with advantages in terms of long-term cell survival, although the latter is influenced both by the harvesting technique and the dimensions of the particles.[7] The aim of this study was to assess the presence of viable osteoblasts in bone tissue harvested with drills during implant site preparation.
Clinical procedure and patient selection
A total of 11 patients (5 men and 6 women, aged between 35 and 75 years, with an average age of 57 years), in good general health condition, were included in this study. Patient selection criteria for this study were established so as to include patients with loss of one or more dental elements and with moderate alveolar atrophy diagnosed in preoperative X-ray examinations, including panoramic radiography. An Ethical Committee evaluated and accepted the guidelines of the study. All patients gave their informed consent to participate in the study.
Surgical procedure
All surgeries were performed under sterile conditions. Chlorhexidine 0.2% was used to rinse the oral cavity for 2 min prior to surgery. Local anesthesia consists of 1:200,000 mepivacaine-epinephrine was infiltrated into the mandibular/maxillary surgical site. An implant of adequate length was selected by radiographic examination, and a full thickness flap was designed. Implants were then placed following a modified drilling sequence to undersize the osteotomy and increase the insertion torque. The implant system's drills were of kind implant fixture with parallel shape. Drills set a low speed were used in succession, harvesting autogenous bone from the drills for later bone defect grafting. A precision initial drill allowed accurate positioning of the osteotomy within the palatal alveolar wall. Once the direction of drilling was established, the site was enlarged with a 2 mm pilot drill. Subsequent twist drills were used to widen the osteotomy following the manufacturer's instructions. The final drill however, was only utilized to a depth of approximately two-thirds of the implant length.
Implant site was prepared using a surgical motor (Implantmed, W and H GmbH, Burmoos, Austria) at a speed of 350 rpm and a torque setting of 45 Ncm. A particulate bone graft was harvested from the drills, while the implant site was prepared without irrigation with saline solution [Figures 1 and 2].

Click here to viewFinally, internal implants with a laser microgrooved coronal design (Biohorizons, Birmingham, Ala) were placed. Implant placement was performed using a surgical motor (Implantmed, W and H GmbH, Burmoos, Austria) at a speed of 15 rpm and a torque setting of 45 Ncm. In all cases, a ratchet wrench was used to fully seat the implants as the torque required exceeded the 45 Ncm set on the motor. The harvested material was used to fill the bony defects. At that time, a small sample of the harvested material was also sent for histological analysis.
Following surgery, patients were instructed not to brush or irritate the surgical sites for 10 days, to irrigate their mouth with chlorhexidine 0.2% 3 times a day for 1 week, and to maintain a soft diet for about 6 weeks. Analgesics (ibuprofen, 400 mg) and antibiotics (amoxicillin, 1,000 mg, 3 times daily) were prescribed to be taken for 1 week. Ten days after implant insertion, the sutures were removed.
Histological analysis
The samples harvested for histology at the time of implant installation were fixed for 24 h in a neutral formaldehyde solution of 10% Leica ASP 300S® (Leica Biosystems Richmond, Inc. IL 60071) Tissue Processor. Subsequently, they were decalcified in a vial containing 10% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) for 4 weeks. The EDTA solution was changed every week in order to remove the calcium from the bone fragments through chelation. After decalcification, the samples were embedded in paraffin, sliced with a microtome (Leica RM2125RT Microtome®, Leica) and stained with hematoxylin and eosin in Leica Autostainer ST5020® (Leica), after which they were ready for microscopic analysis.
Histological evaluation of the samples with an optical microscope showed that, even in a particulate state, the bone structure was well-preserved [Figures 3 and 4], containing a large number of osteocytes within the calcified matrix and a large number of osteoblasts, expressing viable cells, and suggesting that the viability of the bone tissue was maintained and able to begin ostogenesis. A large number of osteocytes and osteoblasts were contained in all samples.

Click here to viewDiscussion
Bone particles harvested during implant site preparation consist of a mixture of cortical bone and cancellous bone, and have histologically well-preserved structures with a large number of osteocytes in a calcified matrix.[8] In an animal study, Coradazzi et al.[9] found that harvested bone resorbed more rapidly and showed higher osteoinductive potential than particulate bone in the early healing stages.
Particle size and available bone volume are important factors for graft material. In general, small particles are preferred secondary to more rapid resorption, greater surface area, and enhanced ostogenesis,[10-12] but particles that are too small lack the space for the migration and proliferation of cells, vessels, and bone. A pore size of at least 100 μ is necessary. Zaner and Yukna[12] recommended that an appropriate particle size would be 300-500 μ.
Grafting particulate bone is considered a better option than en bloc harvesting because of the former's capacity to adapt to the site of engraftment; it enables a larger quantity of harvested material to be grafted, with advantages in terms of long-term cell survival, although the latter aspect is influenced both by the harvesting technique and the dimensions of the particles.[7]
The drill was set at low speed as this has been shown to preserve viable osteocytes.[13,14] For these reasons, an investigation was made on the methods of obtaining autogenous bone tissue by means of drills, and the possibility for preservation of cells with bone induction capacity was evaluated.
The use of bone harvested should be considered to be an extremely conservative technique, since it eliminates the need to obtain autogenous bone material from a second surgical site, which can be complex.[15]
There are no studies to date which have histologically evaluated the bone harvested during implant site preparation. From the results obtained it is concluded that the harvesting method described is capable of preserving cells with bone induction capacity, secondary to a large number of osteoblasts and the expression of viable cells. This suggests that the viability of the bone tissue is maintained and can begin osteogenesis. Another positive factor is the utilization of autogenous bone tissue of membranous and not of endocondral origin, a material known to be more efficient because it has lower reabsorption levels.[16]
The surgical technique described for the procurement of particulate intraoral autogenous bone material is simple, efficient and safe. The possibility of harvesting bone graft while the implant site is being prepared allows the procurement of the particulate bone without the disadvantages of donor site morbidity.
The authors wish to thank Dr. Adolfo Apicella of the Anatomy and Histopathology Department "Luciano Armanni," Second University of Naples, Naples, Italy, for his valuable contribution to the present study.
