Since 1956, the Paris Club has remained a central player in the resolution of developing and emerging countries' debt problems.
In 1956, the world economy was emerging from the aftermath of the Second World War. The Bretton Woods institutions were in the early stages of their existence, international capital flows were scarce, and exchange rates were fixed. Few African countries were independent and the world was divided along Cold War lines. Yet there was a strong spirit of international cooperation in the Western world and, when Argentina voiced the need to meet its sovereign creditors to prevent a default, France offered to host an exceptional three-day meeting in Paris that took place from 14 to 16 May 1956.
Today, the Paris Club provides debt treatments to debtor countries in a totally different world. Most countries are active players in the world economy and are interdependent through goods and capital flows. Financial globalization has created new opportunities for developing and emerging countries but has brought with it new risks of crisis. Sovereign debt is a minor source of borrowing for emerging economies given the development of emerging bond markets. But the low-income countries generally do not have access to these markets and assistance from bilateral and multilateral donors remains vital for them. Non-Paris Club creditors are becoming an increasingly important source of financing for these countries. Yet despite the fact that Paris Club creditors now have to deal with far more complex and diverse debt situations than in 1956, their original principles still stand.

The Early Years (1956-1980)From 1956 to 1980, the Paris Club's activity level was low. The number of agreements signed with debtor countries never exceeded four per year. The Paris Club took advantage of these early years to gradually standardize its negotiation process and agreements.
Few countries were granted debt treatments. They were mainly located in Latin America (Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Peru) and in Asia (Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey and Cambodia). The first African country to conclude a debt treatment agreement with the Paris Club was Zaire (now Democratic Republic of Congo) in 1976. Countries that had gained their independence in the 1960s were in a period of debt accumulation, whereas some "older" countries were already experiencing balance of payments problems. After 1976, some African debtor countries approached the Paris Club for one or more debt treatments (Sierra Leone, Togo, Sudan and Liberia), but at a relatively slow pace compared with the subsequent period.
During these early years, Paris Club agreements were fairly simple. They were based on standard "Classic terms" which were the sole terms of treatment used by creditors from 1956 to 1987. Under Classic terms, debtor countries were granted a rescheduling of credits (whether ODA or non-ODA) at the appropriate market rate with a repayment profile negotiated on a case-by-case basis (generally a ten-year repayment period including a three-year grace period). The Paris Club offered non-concessional flow relief to support IMF adjustment programs. In many cases, several Paris Club debt treatments were required in fairly quick succession to help the debtor country to exit the cycle of rescheduling.
Dealing with the Debt Crisis (1981-1996)1981 marked a turning point in Paris Club activity. The number of agreements concluded per year rose to more than ten and even to 24 in 1989. This was the famous "debt crisis" of the 1980s, triggered by Mexico defaulting on its sovereign debt in 1982 and followed by a long period during which many countries negotiated multiple debt agreements with the Paris Club, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, but also in Asia (the Philippines), the Middle East (Egypt and Jordan) and Eastern Europe (Poland, Yugoslavia and Bulgaria). Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1992, Russia joined the list of countries that have concluded an agreement with the Paris Club. So by the 1990s, Paris Club activity had become truly international.
From 1981 to 1987, creditors continued to apply the same rules despite the growing number of countries facing payment difficulties. Classic terms, designed for dealing with temporary liquidity problems, were systematically used for debt treatment. Amounts treated were generally small, corresponding to one or two years of installments due to creditors and to the implementation period for an IMF-supported program.
Yet in the mid-1980s, growing concerns about the ability of poor countries to repay their debts led creditors to consider new terms of treatment. In 1987, Paris Club creditors adopted Venice terms (non-concessional terms that provide debtor countries with longer deferral and repayment periods).
In October 1988, Paris Club creditors agreed to implement Toronto terms, which introduced for the first time a partial cancellation of the debt of the poorest and most heavily indebted countries . Twenty poor countries were granted Toronto terms from 1988 to 1991 and a total of 26 agreements were signed on these terms during the period.
The Toronto terms were designed for the poorest and most heavily indebted countries, while the Classic terms were to remain the treatment used for other debtors. The debt crisis also hit lower middle-income countries. So in September 1990, the Paris Club creditors decided to adopt new debt treatment rules for some of these countries facing high indebtedness and a stock of official bilateral debt totaling at least 150% of their private debt. These new treatment terms were called "Houston terms". They introduced three significant improvements compared with Classic terms. To date, 35 agreements have been concluded with 19 countries under Houston terms.
Given the lasting impact of the debt crisis on the poorest and most heavily indebted countries, the Paris Club creditors agreed in December 1991 to raise the level of debt cancellation from 33.33%, as defined in the Toronto terms, to 50%. Thus were born London terms. A total of 23 countries were granted the London terms from 1991 to 1994, when these terms were replaced by Naples terms.
The adoption of Naples terms in December 1994 made two substantial improvements to London terms. The level of debt cancellation was raised to at least 50% and a maximum of 67% of eligible non-ODA credits . Secondly, the Paris Club made the ground-breaking decision that stock treatments could be implemented on a case-by-case basis for countries with a satisfactory track record with both the Paris Club and the IMF, provided there was ample confidence in the ability of the debtor country to meet its obligations under the debt agreement. Eligibility for Naples terms is assessed on a case-by-case basis . The adoption of Naples Terms marked a major turning point in Paris Club history. For the first time ever, Paris Club creditors agreed to consider major levels of debt reduction extending beyond flow treatments to include stock treatments. This development reflected a growing understanding within both the official and private creditor community that the poorest countries' debt burdens were unsustainable.
Implementing the HIPC Initiative In 1996, the international financial community realized that the external debt situation of a number of mostly African low-income countries had become extremely difficult. This was the starting point of the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative.
The Evian approachThe HIPC Initiative demonstrated the need for creditors to take a more tailored approach when deciding on debt treatment for debtor countries. Hence in October 2003, Paris Club creditors adopted a new approach to non-HIPCs: the "Evian Approach".

New World Explorers (1496-1580)
In 1496 the Spanish settled a colony in Santo Domingo where the settlers mined for gold. The local Arawak-Lucayan natives, described as being tall, brown, statuesque people, with long, straight, black hair[1], were enslaved to work the mines and died of disease and overwork. Pedro de Salazar decided to search surrounding lands for more natives to enslave. Salazar's 1514-1516 voyage landed him between the coast of Georgia and Cape Fear[2] where he found a tribe of "tall Indians"[3]. Keep in mind, the Arawaks were already described as tall - these Georgia/Cape Fear natives were being described as taller than the Arawak-Lucayans[2], though I have yet to come across an actual recorded height for these people. This place was called "the Land of Giants"[2]. Salazar was only able to bring back a few of these giant natives to use as slaves but no more than that partly because the Spanish government outlawed raids in these areas[3]. Some people may be (logically) skeptical about a race of giant natives in Georgia in 1515. The notion seems a bit far-fetched, but I ask you to keep in mind that the average European height at the time was probably somewhere around 5.5 feet[4]. That means that if these natives were 7 feet or maybe even 6.5 feet tall, they would still appear to be giants.
Amerigo Vespucci lands on the "Island of Giants". Engraving from c.1592 by Theodor de Bry (Flemish, 1528-1598).
Amerigo Vespucci, around 1499, landed on a South American Island, probably the island of Curacao[12]. He and his men set out looking for fresh water came upon some huts. Inside these huts were giant women who Vespucci decided to kidnap. Then 36 or more giant men showed up so he changed his mind and made for his ship. Vespucci called this place the Island of the Giants[13].
Lucas Vazquez de Ayllon was a Spanish explorer and one of the first to explore a small region of North America in hopes of establishing a Spanish settlement. In 1526 he landed in what is now South Carolina. Ayllon visited and recorded the customs of many native tribes in the area. One of these was a country called Duhare where the natives were white men. Their hair was brown and hung to their heels. They were governed by a king of gigantic size called Datha whose wife was as large as he was. There were other tribes in the area. Another country close to Duhare was called Xapida. In all of these areas the natives had herds of deer just as we have herds of cattle. They would milk the does and make cheese. All of their kings are of gigantic size. They had herbal doctors and all the natives seemed to be healthy and lived long lives. There is a ritual that they performed when a king would die that seemed to involve fireworks. When they were asked how all of the kings were of such a gigantic size they were given two answers. One: herbs were used to soften the bones of infants and their bones were physically stretched. Two: herbs were given to the future kings during puberty that caused them to grow so tall[5]. I ask you to continue to keep in mind that when these Europeans speak of "giants" they are most likely referring to simply tall people; people who are around 6.5 to 7 feet high. It's very interesting that only the kings of these tribes were so tall, however, the way in which the kings became so tall is debatable. It is certainly possible that some type of herb was given to them early on in their lives to promote excelled growth, since both explanations involve herbs. One thing we can be confident in is that the kings were chosen at an early age, possibly even infancy. So, how else could they have known these people would grow so tall when observing them at such an early age? Though Ayllon did not find an entire tribe of giants as Salazar did, he did find giant kings. As for his settlement, it was a failure. Of the 500 men who he took with him, only 150 survived and they fled the settlement for Hispaniola, starving, sick and nearly dead.
Patagonian giants with European explorers
During his famous voyage in 1519-1522, Ferdinand Magellan encountered people of giant stature on the coasts of South America. The first was a single man with his face painted red with yellow circles around his eyes. This man was brought on board the ship and given gifts by Magellan. Apparently the Europeans only came up to around his waist. When he was brought back to the shore there were several of these people who were also invited to come aboard Magellan's ship, which they accepted. Six days later they encountered another man of great stature who resembled the others. Later they encountered four more of these men who allegedly tried to lure them into a trap so Magellan and his men detained them. Magellan decided to keep the two youngest of them. He also decided to try to detain their wives in hopes of bringing a race of giants to Europe. The attempts to do so ended in a hostile encounter where the natives fled and Magellan and his men set fire to their huts. Magellan called these people Patagonians[8].
Hernando de Soto (left) Tuskaloosa (right)
Explorer Hernando de Soto led the first deep exploration into what we now know as the United States in 1539. He encountered a giant Native American chief by the name of Tuscaloosa with a son just as tall. Apparently, the tallest men's heads only reached the chest of the chief's son[6]. This suggests that Tuscaloosa and his son were maybe 1.5 to 2 feet taller than the Europeans, which would make them 7 to 7.5 feet tall. De Soto ended up capturing Tuscaloosa when he refused to supply them with women. Tuscaloosa led de Soto and his men to a village called Malbia where a turn of events ended in a bloody battle. Tuscaloosa was killed along with all of the inhabitants of Malbia as it burned to the ground at the hands of de Soto and his men[7].
On his voyage of 1540-1542, Francisco Vásquez de Coronado explored New Mexico and other parts of what are now the southwestern United States. He and his men encountered a province of exceedingly tall and strong men, like giants. They are described as being able to carry hundreds of pounds easily[10].
Sir Francis Drake Encountered harmless and kind giants on his 1577-1580 voyage. Upon landing ashore, these tall natives saw that Drake and his crew were miserably weather beaten, so they fed them and gave them fresh water[9].
From 1496 to 1580 (actually into the 1700's, however I am having trouble finding online sources to present so I have left these out) there were documented interactions between extraordinarily tall people in the Americas with early European explorers. We can rule out these interactions as being nothing more than legends because the documents I have referenced are of first-hand accounts. The documents were written by people who were actually on these voyages. It is possible that these explorers exaggerated the truth, which I personally find quite probable. I don't think there were people who were twice the size of normal humans, as Magellan stated. I find it much more likely that those people were probably 7-8 feet tall, giving them the illusion of being giants to 5.5 foot tall Europeans[4].
19th Century Mound Exploration
Mound Explorers
Now, let's fast forward to the 1800's. The United States was expanding; roads, towns and other buildings were being constructed. During this expansion there were many structures discovered called mounds in a large area from the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico and from the Mississippi River to the Appalachian Mountains. This is when archaeology in the United States started to become organized. Most of the early American "archaeologists" were untrained people digging and exploring these mounds. Many of the mounds that were explored were ancient burials. Some of the explorations of these mounds by early amateur archaeologists have been referenced to in local county history books. Some people say that these accounts cannot be considered because 19th century local history books cannot be verified. However, these local history books tell of many skeletons being exhumed that measured 6.5-8 feet in length. Not every skeleton was this large and most of the time they were found among many regular sized skeletons. Here are just a few references:
Two skeletons not less than 6 and a half feet tall - "The History of Lawrence and Monroe Counties, Indiana"
Skeleton of "immense size" & Skeleton of "nearly seven feet" - "The History of Ashland County, Ohio"
Large skeleton who's "jaw-bone was found to fit easily over that of a citizen" - "The History of Morrow County and Ohio"
Graves of variable giants & gigantic skeletons with high cheek bones powerful jaws and massive frames - "The History of Brown County, Ohio"
Skeletons of persons of very large size, 6'3" skeleton exhumed & very large human skeleton - "The History of Licking County, Ohio"
Skeleton over 7 feet tall - "The History of Richland County, Ohio"
Skull of remarkable size - "The The History of Darke County, Ohio"
Skeleton 8 feet tall and others 7 feet tall - "History of Lake County, 1902"
As I said, these are only a few of the accounts in these old books. There are literally hundreds of them in several history books from several different areas. If you are interested in reading more, do some research; they're easy to find.
Old Newspaper Article
It is worth noting that newspapers of the same time period ran hundreds of articles about giant skeletons being exhumed from ancient mounds. Some people have argued that newspaper articles covered many hoaxes of similar accounts and were not at all reliable. As a result they suggest that because the history books wrote of large skeletons being found they must be as inaccurate as the newspapers, and maybe even borrowed these stories from the newspapers and therefore are not a reliable source. My thoughts on this argument are that there is absolutely no proof that newspaper articles influenced these history books. In fact it seems quite the opposite. The newspapers many times have to do with some amazing discovery of a lost race of giants with six toes and six fingers, double rows of teeth and sometimes even horns. These giants are described as to have been 10, 12, sometimes even 18 feet tall. But, when it comes to the history books, I have yet to find anything remotely as fantastical. In the history books 6.5-8 foot skeletons of otherwise normal people are usually mentioned briefly. Using the similarities in articles in old newspapers with the information in old history books to try and debunk the history books is like saying that giant squid legends were proof enough that the creatures didn't exist. But we now know that giant squids do exist, just not as they were portrayed in legends. The only thing connecting the newspapers and history books is subject matter.
Where Are The Bones?
Alleged 8 foot mound builder skeleton (left)
The next argument is simply, where are the bones now? There are a few explanations as to where the bones are today. The bones in the mound excavations were so old and rotted that many of them crumbled when touched or exposed to air, which does happen - especially when there are amateurs who don't know what they are doing. A lot of these remains were damaged or destroyed in this way according to the history books. Many of the amateur archaeologists were antiquarians and the bones were kept in their private collections. These bones were either lost or passed down to people who didn't realize how important they were. Also, many universities have relics and skeletal remains from old mound excavations. They problem is, they don't have them on display. You must have the proper credentials to examine these relics; not just anyone can walk in and start rummaging around.
Lastly, there is the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) which, because the mound builders were allegedly proven to be the ancestors of Native Americans by Cyrus Thomas, it is illegal to possess these bones. Any time Native American remains are found they are given to their Native American ancestors for re-burial. NAGPRA makes it a criminal offense to traffic in Native American human remains without right of possession or in Native American cultural items obtained in violation of the Act. Penalties for a first offense may reach 12 months imprisonment and a $100,000 fine. Taking this into consideration, it seems logical to come to the conclusion that if someone had possession of some old mound builder skeletons they would either get them back to their Native American legal owners or simply keep them hidden so as not to suffer the penalties.
Mortimer Skeleton of Grumbles Alley
There is at least one alleged large mound builder skeleton that is known to exist. The story goes: it was exhumed by a farmer in the 1800's who then traded it to a local doctor for medical treatment. Somehow the skeleton fell into possession of a night club owner and finally belongs to the owner of a restaurant next door to the night club. The skeleton supposedly measures somewhere around 7 feet and is on display at the restaurant "Grumbles Alley" in Selma, Alabama[11]. It has recently gotten some media attention and I expect it will be confinscated fairly soon to be transferred back to its Native American ancestors.
Myths, Legends and Non-Credible Information
Though I don't want to use any myths or legends as a credible source, there are many Native American oral histories that tell of people who were already here when the Native Americans migrated here. Some of these legends actually describe them as giants. Food for thought.
My Theory
Here's my theory: there may have been tribes of hereditarily large (7-8 ft) people who inhabited the Americas in the distant past (the original natives perhaps). Early settlers (the ancestors of the people we now call Native Americans) encountered these people. There were conflicts between the "giants" and the early settlers and ultimately the settlers drove the giants off and maybe even killed most of them. However, some of these so called giants were accepted into the settlers' tribes and passed their genes to their children and so forth. That would explain the large mound builder skeletons among the regular sized ones. It would also explain the large kings and chiefs written about by early European explorers. The Patagonians that Magellan and other explorers encountered may have been what was left of the dying giant tribes who had been drove out of their land.

If you are reading this, it means you've survived Hurricane Irene. Yay! Considering I'm typing and posting this, it means I've survived too (and I have electricity). Double Yay!
We were totally prepared for the worst though. Here's the scene in our Jeep's backseat that greeted me Friday afternoon when PJK picked me up from work:
He was so excited when I jumped in the car and immediately said "look in the back seat!" No, it wasn't flowers, or jewelry, or a even a new bike…it was gallons and gallons of water! After getting over my initial disappointment I realized this meant I was going to avoid the pre-apocalyptic mad dash to Cost-Co. Oh yeah, now that's what I call a gift!
With all of our preparations in place, and numerous text messages to my mother to reassure her that yes, we were totally prepared, I was ready to complete my final pre-hurricane task: teach 10am Saturday Spinning. I was impressed that everyone showed up ready to ride hard. As I said to class, it would have been so easy to get caught up in the media sensationalism and use the impending storm as an excuse to skip the gym. But I they didn't…and this was our ride:
Spinning #108 :: 14 songs, 1 hour :: iTunes link
The Profile: Strength Energy Zone, steadily increasing heart rates with each subsequent song.
Kick The Bass—Julien-K (7:52) Warm Up
Mr. Saxobeat (Radio Edit)—Alexandra Stan (3:15) Standing Flat
Eyes—The Naked and Famous (4:43) Seated Flat, Standing Flat, Standing Climb changing positions every 30 seconds, increasing resistance every 90
By the Way—Red Hot Chili Peppers (3:37) Standing Flat with Seated Flat speed surges on the chorus
Power [clean]—Kanye West (4:52) Jumps on a Hill
Warrant—Foster the People (5:22) Seated Climb, transitioning to Standing
Guilty Filthy Soul—AWOLNATION (3:33) Seated Flat Recovery
Africa (Claudio Tignanello Club Mix)—The Glitterboys (5:32) Seated Flat. Use cadence and resistance to increase heart rate back up to working levels
Wherever You Will Go (Handz Up Edition) (5:45) Standing Flat with speed surges in the saddle on the chorus. This song came from one my "workout" CD's…I don't think it's on iTunes.
This City (Radio Edit) [feat. Lupe Fiasco]—Patrick Stump (3:33) Jumps on a Hill
Rock You Like a Hurricane—Jimmy Rep (4:21) Final Climb
I Will Follow You Into the Dark—Death cab for Cutie (3:09) Cool Down
Who Says—John Mayer (3:00) Cool down and start to stretch
My Own Two Hands—Ben Harper & Jack Johnson (3:00) Final stretches
That's all folks! Enjoy your Sunday afternoon & thanks for coming back to my blog even after a quiet month of no posts.

I decided I needed some colour to add to an outfit and adding a touch of modesty probably wouldn't hurt either. Solution? I needed a spring shrug! I couldn't find any bright ones in a couple stores I was at, but I did find a bright embellished t-shirt and thought: "wait! I can do something with that!"
First, buy a t-shirt with some kind of cute detail. I like the bows on this shirt.
To make cutting easier, I laid the shirt flat, then folded in half. This way, there was much less area to screw up my cut.
And the result? Here it is!! Think it's good enough for my cousin's social??

COOL! That looks great!!! I was just talking about needing a summer shrug with a co-worker!ReplyDelete
Omgomgomgomg That is so cool and so stinking cute! This is a fantastic idea.ReplyDelete
When thrifting they never seem to have cardigans, jackets or shrugs at my Goodwill so this might be an awesome alternative if I see any embellished tees.
What a great idea! I love shrugs so thank-you, thank-you, thank-you! PaulaReplyDelete
That's awesome, well done! I love the hot pink with the orange too!ReplyDelete
What a great idea! LOVE how it turned out and the colors together; awesome.ReplyDelete

Three's Company: Living Downtown with Roommates
Before I came to law school, I lived in one of Washington DC's famous group houses with six of my best friends from college. The D.C. group homes are old, historic row houses, full of aspirational 20-somethings, which was an awesome post-college experience. My living experiences were crazy and wonderful at the same time, and thus when I was deciding where and how to live in New Haven, it was a no-brainer that I didn't want to live "alone" just yet.
Through the inevitable "YLS Class of 2011" Facebook group, I met my two awesome roommates, one of whom had already secured a fabulous three-bedroom apartment in downtown New Haven. The three of us instantly bonded over our love of "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." and we've become really close friends since we moved in at the end of August. Even though we didn't have any classes together first semester, we ended up spending a lot of time together – we often talked about our days as we cooked dinner, and went grocery shopping. Plus, since our 1L class is really small, we have always known a lot of the same people, so it hasn't been weird to talk 'randomly' about something that happened in class or at Bar Review; chances are, we can all relate or laugh about it together.
While some law students prefer the residential feel of the East Rock neighborhood on the north side of campus, our location downtown has a ton of perks: we're about a 7 minute walk to school, a ton of other 1Ls live within a block or two of our home (including about a dozen that live in our building), we're super-close to lots of restaurants and bars, and there's a Starbucks on the corner. On the other corner is the local bakery, Atticus, which also serves a fantastic caramel latte, if you prefer.
We're truly in the center of everything going on in New Haven and at Yale – the Repertory Theatre is on our block and we are close to the Yale British Art Museum. In December, my roommate and I volunteered at the annual "Luminarias on the Green" event, just a few steps from our door.
At some other law schools, on-campus housing is seen as a big plus (or a necessity), but here at Yale, living (just slightly!) off campus allows us the flexibility to pick from a variety of housing options and really take advantage of everything New Haven has to offer. Not to mention, the cost of living is much less than at our peer schools, so we live nicer for less money in this wonderful town!

PAWTUCKET—A 21-year-old Providence man was arrested after biting off the ear off of a 43-year-old Pawtucket man he was acquainted with during an altercation outside of The Met nightclub, 1005 Main St., on Saturday night, police said.
Police Maj. Arthur Martins said that the two men, Nicholas Parlee and Jeremy Hilton, who he described as friends, had been at The Met and were leaving at around 11:30 p.m. when they got into a dispute. During the fight, Parlee grabbed Hilton's head and bit his ear completely off, Martins said.
Martins said that police and rescue personnel arrived quickly and were able to retrieve the severed ear. They transported Hilton and his ear to the hospital. He said he did not know if doctors were able to successfully perform a re-attachment.
Parlee, of 834 Charles St., remained at the scene after the attack, and was taken into custody. He was charged with one count of mutilation or disabling, Martins said.

Audie Award Nominee, Best Teens Category, 2013
It isn't easy being Sunday's child, not when you're the rather overlooked and unhappy youngest sibling to sisters named for the other six days of the week. Sunday's only comfort is writing stories, although what she writes has a terrible tendency to come true. When Sunday meets an enchanted frog who asks about her stories, the two become friends. Soon that friendship deepens into something magical.
One night, Sunday kisses her frog goodbye and leaves, not realizing that her love has transformed him back into Rumbold, the crown prince of Arilland - and a man Sunday's family despises. The prince returns to his castle, intent on making Sunday fall in love with him as the man he is, not the frog he was. But Sunday is not so easy to woo. How can she feel such a strange, strong attraction to this prince she barely knows? And what twisted secrets lie hidden in his past - and hers?
©2012 Alethea Kontis (P)2012 Brilliance Audio, Inc.
I am an adult who loves a good YA read---but really I just love an engrossing story. If it pulls me in and I can't stop reading-I'm happy!
"Charming... Enchanting"
I bought this because the cover drew me in---but I wasn't immediately hooked into the story. About 25% of the way through---I was engaged. This is an offbeat fairytale. The formula is there---Prince turned frog falls in love with a girl---convinces her to kiss him which turns him back into a Prince. This is why I was bored... but once the kiss came---I was hooked because Alethena Kontis kept me off balance as a reader. As soon as I recognized the fairtale---she switched things up...
Give this one a chance if you are a fan of a quirky family... I really enjoyed it and was sad to hear it end.
"Fairy Tales, Romance, and a Couple Scares Too!"
The narrator was a delight to listen to, and the story was full of fantastic imagry. The humor was shockingly good too. Highly recommended for pre-teens, teens, and adults that have a love of the classic fairy tales.
The author used well known fairy tales as a stepping off/jumping off point, and then she ran with those tales to make this into a fascinating story of its own.
I've read other books that mix tales like this, but this one worked on a higher scale than most of those. To be honest, I did roll my eyes at the "reveal" of a couple of them, and I was glad when the new references stopped for a large section of the book. It almost felt like the author was relying too much on them at first, but I got over that quickly.
Katherine Kellgren's reading of this tale is similar to the way she read "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"... and I wouldn't want it any other way.
There were about 10 points where I dirupted my co-workers with my uproarious and uncontrollable laughter. The author puts some great snarky lines into this book that will make your eyes bug out in surprise, and then you won't be able to control the titters.
This isn't the most serious book in the world. It was obvoiusly a fun write for the author. There are moments where I was reminded of Grim... moments of Monty Python...moments of Anne Shirley ("Anne of Green Gables")... and there were moments where I was reminded of Bulgakov's "The Master and Margarita". Have fun reading this one. I know I did.
I am a blind lawyer and aspiring writer, trying to read a little bit of everything but partial to sci-fi and military fiction.
"A Wonderful Little Tale"
Enchanted is a charming story that puts a modern spin on fairy tale conventions and makes many humorous nods to the staples of the genre which should be familiar to almost anyone with even a hint of a mainstream upbringing. That said, putting a modern spin on things doesn't mean a deconstruction; it remains a fairy tale through and through (with people turned into animals, castles at the center of magical kingdoms, fairy godmothers granting gifts with secret significance, a fair number of family curses, etc), though perhaps a little more mature than the sanitized versions of such tales in circulation of late.
This is not at all necessarily a bad thing. In fact, the story is lively, funny and sufficiently self-aware to make you smile at the characters' predicaments while still caring about how exactly it all turns out. Both aspects are helped tremendously by Katherine Kellgren's narration, a woman who I am now certain can do no wrong. The spectrum of voices is diverse enough to keep everyone readily identifiable and the accents and emotion she puts into her reading made the whole book a true joy to listen to.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who grew up with a fondness for fairy tales, and a taste for a little whacky humor. The book is a bit short, but well worth the price.
I started out listening to books for work and now have become addicted. Every where I drive is a new adventure...
"All my favorite Fairytales rolled into one..."
I am a sucker for a good Fairytale. This book was very kid friendly as I listened to it with my 12 and 9 yr old. I enjoyed how the fairy tales that we know and love are rolled together into one story. Sunday is an amazing character and is fearless when it comes to loving her family. It is only when she meets the prince that she struggles with her willingness to love and her commitment to her family.
Seven Daughters to a seventh daughter ... Seven Days of the week and fairies all around.
What a great adventure... I would have given it more stars, but it was written so that it was more the speed of a preteen. I thought the Narrator performed the parts well, but it took me a while to get used to how she phased the passages.
I am a blind attorney and aspiring writer, trying to broaden my interests beyond my sci-fi, thriller and history staples.

Character Rating: 4.00
Audio Rating: 4.00 (Not part of the overall rating)
Read It File It: While this is not my normal cup of tea, I do think I picked a perfect book to hand out for World Book Night 2014. Enchanted by Alethea Kontis should appeal to all fairy tale lovers and will make people smile! The story is really well paced and magical in an off the beaten path kind of way.
Audio Thoughts:
Narrated by: Katherine Kellgren /Length: 7 hrs and 51 mins
Katherine is one of my favorite narrators. Her voice is perfect for stories like these--it has a hint of magic and fun. Her narration enhanced the story and brought it to life.
"A Fairy Tale Lover's Dream"
Yes. Its a beautifully written story that makes you remember all the wonderful fairy tales you grew up with. The nitty gritty ones so many parents won't read to their children anymore. Every chapter was filled with magic and all the different fairy tale references was like being in on a secret joke.
Probably Thursday, Sunday's Pirate Queen Sister. I find myself very much hoping Thursday gets a book later. She never actually appears in the book itself, is only mentioned, but she seems awesome. Second favorite is probably Tricks because he's so adorable!
She has a lovely voice. Her accent is just right for fairy tales.
I really enjoyed the first couple chapters where Sunday is writing in her journal about her family and you get to hear about them. Each is unique and has their own story, you can tell, which is highly impressive that Alethea could balance them all so nicely.
I've been seeing a lot of reviews, both negative and positive describing this book as a fairy tale retold. That is not what this is. It is a whole new fairy tale.
The biggest mistake anyone can make when opening this book is to think you know the story already. This is an entirely new creature.
What Alethea Kontis does in this book is bring to like our favorite tales from the Brothers Grimm and a touch of Hans Christen Anderson to weave the magical rules of this world.
This is a world where, if a girl meets a talking frog, she easily figures out its a man because her world is full of enchanted frogs turned men, full of Kings with no name, full of fairy godmothers baring magical gifts.
I quite enjoyed this read. It sets up a beautiful world and Alethea's writing voice is perfect for it. She captures the true essence of fairy tales and makes them her own.
I grew up with Brothers Grimm and every once in a while, Alethea would make a reference to apples and you knew they must be poisoned, or to any other number of things and if you're a true fairy tale lover, you understand the rules of them.
She doesn't spell it out for you but if you pay enough attention, she leaves you enough clues to make an educated guess. Like so many people having violet eyes. I think this says how much magic is in their blood. Purple and violet always seem to be a reference to magic.
This was a lovely start to what is going to be an enchanting series.
Just remember, when you open the book, let Alethea weave her magical tale. She's not retelling you a story you've heard a thousand times. She's using the age old fairy tale references and rules to create something entirely new. She's setting up a world that I can't wait to visit again to find out what happened with all of Sunday's sisters and, hopefully, her brothers too.
"Grimm in a blender with a dash of humor"
Pleasantly surprised by the story line characters and interaction of the whole thing. I wasn't sure what I was expecting but I got on sale and got very good reviews. This isn't my normal read. but I really enjoyed to the very end..
Sunday and the entire Woodcutter family......the extended persons as well.
I never heard her before but she was perfect for this story
This was a marvelous mix of Grimm Brothers and a quirky sense of humor and the macabre. I enjoyed and found it better than expected. I may check out more of this authors work.

"Fun twisting of fairy tales"
I have been wanting to read this book for a while now. This was an extremely fun read. It twists a number of fairy tales in a way that is fun, heartfelt, and clever. I thoroughly enjoyed it. The second book in this series will be titled, Hero, and is expected to release in October of 2013.
I listened to this on audiobook and the audiobook was very well done. They voices were all very distinct and portray emotion well. My only complaint would be that some of the female voices were a bit shrill. The narrator has a wonderful English accent that suits the story well.
Sunday is the youngest of seven daughters all named for days of the week and all cursed to characterize the epitome of their weekday name (Monday's child is fair of face...you know that old poem). However Sunday is unhappy and her only refuge is stories. One day she meets a frog in the forest named Grumbold; they become friends, swap stories, and fall in love. Sunday kisses him but nothing happens...until the next morning when, unknown to Sunday, Grumbold turns into Prince Rumbold...who just happens to be a dreaded enemy of Sunday's family. As you can imagine hilarious antics ensue.
Sunday was an excellent character. She is a bit dreamy, but still fun and feisty. All of her sisters have very distinct personalities. The family dynamic was very interesting to read about and I enjoyed it.
Rumbold was an interesting character because he is missing a lot of his memory for most of the story. As a result he gets to start life afresh without any of the baggage people normally accumulate as they grow up. It's an interesting idea and thought-provoking...who would you be if you didn't have any of your previous life experiences to shape you?
What makes this book really fun though is how cleverly all the different fairy tales are tied together. There are references to numerous fairy tales woven in here and it is fun to try to spot them and place them. This book has references to The Princess and the Frog, Jack and the Beanstalk, the Twelve Dancing Princesses, and many many more. I absolutely love fairy tales and really enjoyed seeing them all twisted together like this.
Overall this was a wonderfully fun read, I really enjoyed it. The characters are easy to engage with and very sweet, the plot is well done, and I loved how many different fairy tales are twisted into the mix. Highly recommended to fans of fairy tale retellings...this was just such a fun read! I can't wait to see what Hero will be like!
"As wonderful as I remember"
I first read this book as a digital copy from my library. I have since purchased a digital copy of my own and was delighted when I discovered it was available as an audio book as well.
I love fairy tales and have become quite the fan of retold fairy tales. having read many, this one definitely ranks among my favourites and I eagerly await the release of the others in the series.

Edsa People Power commemoration to be held in Cebu-A A +A
Thursday, February 20, 2014
MALACANANG on Thursday announced that the 28th anniversary celebration of the Edsa People Power Revolution on February 25 will be held in Cebu province.
Presidential Communications Operations Office Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr. said the original plan to hold the commemorative events, such as the Salubungan, in Malacanang was shelved.
"The traditional 'Salubungan' or commemoration of the meeting between the civilian and military participants of Edsa People Power will be held on Tuesday morning at the Cebu provincial capitol grounds," he said.
Cebu was chosen as venue because the province was the bulwark of the opposition to the dictatorship during the martial law regime, Coloma said. It was in Cebu City where Mrs. Corazon Aquino, President Benigno Aquino III's mother, was staying when the military broke ranks from then President Ferdinand Marcos on February 22, 1986, he added.
Last Sunday, Coloma announced over Radyo ng Bayan that the commemoration of the Edsa People Power Revolution would be held at the Malacanan Palace grounds and not anymore in Edsa so that the celebration would not cause additional burden to the motorists. He said this was based on an advisory from the Edsa People Power Commission (EPPC).
However, he said the President met last Monday with Executive Secretary Paquito Ochoa, EPPC chair, and conveyed his decision to revisit the areas affected by recent natural calamities before he leaves for his official visit to Malaysia on February 27-28.
"Considering that the theme for this year's celebration is, 'Kapit-Bisig Tungo sa Pagbangon', the President said it was important to rally the people in the calamity-affected areas to rekindle the spirit of Edsa People Power in building back better communities," Coloma said.
The President also plans to revisit Leyte and Eastern Samar to check on the progress of government's recovery and rehabilitation efforts. Also being considered are visits to Bohol which sustained heavy earthquake damage last October and Davao Oriental which bore the brunt of super-typhoon Pablo in December 2012.
Coloma said the EPPC will issue the final program of events for the Edsa anniversary commemoration. (SDR/Sunnex)

In the style of a young Bonnie Raitt circa 1970s mixed with the more contemporary upbeat Norah Jones numbers, Melissa Bel comes out with the holiday single "This Christmas Spend Your Time On Me," a song focused on family and spending time together with the ones you love. "We recorded this song in one 8-hour session, and it was great because the band recorded pretty much everything live off the floor, which gives the song just the kind of energy we were going for. I think all of us are anxious to play it live!" – Melissa Bel.
With her recent days touring all over Canada, one can imagine the words in the song are an yearning to maintain strong family ties and always keep her schedule clear enough to make it home for the holidays.
"I've always loved Christmas, and I've been wanting to write a Christmas song for awhile. My dad, on the other hand, is not such a big fan of the Holiday Season with it's commercialism and all the stress that tends to accompany it. So last Christmas Eve, after talking to him on the phone while he was at the mall wondering what gifts to buy I decided to write this song to say stop worrying about finding the perfect present and just enjoy spending Christmas time with the people you love. It's easy to forget, but that's really what it's about!"
"Just got our first NEW Christmas Song of the season and it's gonna knock your socks off. Melissa Bel has a hit on her hands and you're gonna be able to hear it right here on MileHiRadio.com FIRST (and often!)(sic). This little lady has some pipes and the message of the song is priceless!!!!" – Hoss Meister, MileHi Radio DJ and host of Just Playing Around.
Tim Whitnell of The Burlington Post had a chance to sit down with Melissa Bel for an interview. She shared her maturing view of the music industry and evolution of an artist. "Right out of high school I was thinking I was going to be famous by 19. Now I realize it's one small step after one small step; keep playing, keep building your fan base, keep writing, keep getting heard," said Bel. You can read the rest of the interview here.

Participants – called citizens — in each program are divided into groups and elect mock municipal officials and representative to a mock state legislature. They also elect state officials who meet to hold elections and pass bills in a manner similar to the actual Louisiana legislature.
The program is intended to teach high-achieving students to be informed citizens while developing a sense of community, service and responsibility.
"We are again honored to host some of the brightest and most promising young people in Louisiana as they experience the principles of government during Louisiana Boys and Girls State," said Northwestern State President Dr. Randall J. Webb. "This is an excellent opportunity for young men and women to develop leadership, patriotism and a sense of civic responsibility."
In addition to dozens of Legion and Auxiliary staff, 420 citizens and 52 counselors will participate in this year's Girls State while 400 citizens and about 80 junior and senior counselors participate in this year's Boys State.
Louisiana Boys State began in 1940, followed by Louisiana Girls State in 1941. Northwestern State has hosted the event since 2007. Delegates are sponsored by an American Legion Post, local business or community-based organization.
The delegates will utilize several residence halls and university buildings throughout the NSU and Louisiana School for Math, Science and the Arts campuses. Boys and Girls State staff and counselors will be arriving throughout the week in preparation for the citizens' arrival and convocation Sunday, June 23.

A University of Exeter biologist has discovered a 'lost' species of bat breeding on the Isles of Scilly (UK). A pregnant female brown long-eared bat is the first of its species to be found on the islands for at least 40 years. It was discovered by Dr Fiona Mathews, Senior Lecturer at the University of Exeter, a postgraduate student and a team from the Wiltshire Bat Group.
The Scilly Isles Bat Group called in Dr Mathews and her team to help them find out more about bats on the islands. The researchers set up a radiotracking study, with funding from the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, to monitor the islands' bat activity.
The team solved the mystery of the annual disappearance of the large common pipistrelle colony on St Mary's by finding that the bats had moved to a new site. They also discovered that there were brown-long eared bats roosting in a pine tree.
Dr Fiona Mathews of the University of Exeter said: "We were surprised and delighted to find this brown long-eared bat and particularly excited that it is a pregnant female, as it suggests that there must be a breeding colony."
Brown long-eareds were last seen on the Isles of Scilly in the 1960s. Known as 'the whispering bat', these animals rely less on echolocation than other British bats and use their remarkably large ears to detect the sounds of caterpillars and their other prey on leaves. Because they only come out to fly when it is too dark to see them, and their calls are too quiet to be picked up on 'bat detectors', they are virtually impossible to detect using standard survey methods. The bats are very reliant on woodland, which is in short supply on the islands.
Dr Mathews continued: "We found this individual roosting in an old split Monterey pine tree planted by the shore as a wind-break, and feeding along avenues of elm trees. Now we know the bats are there, local conservation organisations can start to improve the habitat for the

Fruitport grad wins Tribune survey reward
Ah Tribune, I think you got that survey bassackwards. I believe all seniors are still teenagers, and once being a teenager myself in addition to raising three, and they in turn raised another seven, I would agree they will be hitting the ground running. But interviewing 300 and having only 24 admit they are not prepared for the next step after graduation is unrealistic. Most of them will be questioning themselves as they pursue a career path(s) before they find and achieve a fit. Those that believe they will be ready today were not born yesterday. One can only hope their generation will improve upon what previous generations seemed to screw up. Time will tell. Their work is just beginning, I wish them well.
Good luck Will, best wishes and enjoy engineering it's a wonderful profession of discovery.

I'm one of those people that really liked the first half of the first season of Glee, but now if you mention the show to me, I break out in hives that are partly due to stress from looking for the closest exit, partly due to the fact that I can't believe Ryan Murphy is still allowed to create sub-par television programs (I'm looking at you, Anne Frank episodes of American Horror Story. Talk about goosestepping the shark…) and inevitably Pitch Perfect will be compared to Glee for several reasons – it's quippy, camp, and there's singing. Here's the one major difference: Pitch Perfect is so much fun to watch that it's one of those rare cookie-cutter Hollywood films I can't wait to see again.
Based on the novel of the same name (I don't… I don't even know why you'd read a novel about singing competitions) Pitch Perfect stars Anna Kendrick as Beca, an alternative girl who has earrings and wears heavy eye-shadow and doesn't even care what you think okay so stop trying to make her care you don't even know her. Her father (she doesn't even care what he thinks) is paying for her to go to Barden College, where he works as a professor, and urges her to get involved. Resisting all things Barden, Bcca just wants to make her mash-ups and produce music because she doesn't even care about college or hot dudes at college. They make a deal – if Beca makes an effort and joins ONE on-campus group, her father will pay for her to move to Los Angeles to live her dream of working at a Starbucks while producing music in a two-bedroom, no-bathroom shack in the outskirts of LA (kids, this is reality. Don't pursue your dreams. Become accountants).
It is at this point Beca joins the dark underworld of competitive college a capella. Barden College is host to several a capella groups, however Beca joins the Barden Belles, an all-girl group led by Aubrey – a future Stepford wife. Aubrey (Anna Camp) lives and breathes a capella, and her one goal is make it to the finals, and redeem herself for prior a cafailures, and finally dethrone the a capella king on campus, Bumper (Adam DeVine), leader of the Treble Makers. There's also a subplot between Beca and Jesse (Skylar Astin SWOON ETC), where there's romance but don't act like Beca's boyfriend unless she tells you it's okay? OKAY? You don't even know eye-shadow/earrings/more eye-shadow alternative.
Yes, the plot is nothing earth-shattering, but this film takes on what is essentially a very over-worked plot, and hilarity, charm and self-awareness that is nothing but fun to watch. The first 20 minutes are exposition heavy, but honestly I feel like they have to be in order to allow for the rest of the film to have fun and riff, if you will. Casting in this film is fantastic. Kendrick does what she can with what is ultimately a really rubbish character (FREE COLLEGE TUITION? A HOT MAN INTERESTED IN ME? WHY IS MY LIFE SO DIFFICULT!). But the supporting cast of the Barton Belles, especially the scene-stealing, and absolutely hilarious Rebel Wilson as Fat Amy, as well as Elizabeth Banks and John Michael Higgins as two heinous competition commentators, take this film to a new level of funny.
To be completely honest, I'm in love with Rebel Wilson – so this review is terribly biased considering I laughed at every line of hers. Most of the supporting characters have a very formulated character – but it's how the film continues to build their individual insanities, combining some great shock-lines and some seriously gross sequences, that provide a lot of the laughs. And then there's Skylar Astin. A man with a voice like velvet and an unexplained scented candle in his backpack (not a weird euphemism). WHAT A DREAMBOAT. He also made the viewing experience enjoyable.
The music is great – and absolutely manipulates you into having at least three feelings throughout. It's strange that Beca's "alternate" tastes range from Dr Dre to that oh-so-alternative David Guetta (…) but they do some really great covers and mash-ups. It's also great because the soundtrack is already available and I haven't stopped listening to it since I left the cinema. I'm not even getting paid to say that! (If someone wants to pay me to say that, I'll say it twice. I'm listening to the soundtrack now! Where's my cheque?)
Completely predictable, not challenging in the slightest, and some of the best fun I've had in a really long time (AND I WAS SOBER) Pitch Perfect really hit all the right notes for me (HAHAHA WHAT AN ORIGINAL PUN NO ONE ELSE WILL HAVE THOUGHT OF!!! I'M A PROFESSIONAL WRITER).
Pitch Perfect is out in Australian cinemas December 9. Which is A LONG TIME FROM NOW – but if I didn't write this review now, I'd have never written it. And I think this is important for our friendship if you all watch it and we can talk about it together. Okay guys? Sleepover at my place December 10- the day after the film is released. Bring your own sleeping bag.

In 1962, I went to the Fair with the girl who later became my wife. In 2001, we road the Space Needle with our daughter, a recent college graduate. Our first visit was a look into the future in more than one way!
This show was very well done; In 1962 I had just finished the 9th grade in Wichita, KS. My maternal grandparents lived up in Bow, WA at the time and they purchased round trip rail tickets for my mother, brother and I we came to Washington and went to the Worlds Fair in July. In the program I noted a song that was played by The Ventures titled "Solar Race" it is from The Ventures in Space album; but I did not see any credits provided for The Ventures at the end of the program. This is a well noted group from Seattle and they have been inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame. This I consider a major oversight or perhaps I didn't see their credits. I presently live in Olympia and have since 1991.

Surban eyes OCBC-A A +A
Tuesday, March 4, 2014
CEBU's pro mountain-biker Nino Surban is eyeing to improve his sixth place overall finish in the men's open of the Criterium Night Race of the OCBC Cycling this March 28-31 at the F1 Pit Building in Singapore.
Last year, it was topped by Tjarco Cuppens of Netherlands.
Surban said he will be racing on a road bike, which is not the usual bike on which he trains.
"I usually train using my mountainbike. I am not really expecting to top this race, but I am after the exposure, which will help me improve," said Surban.
Last year, Surban made an impressive performance in all of his six international races: seventh in the 2013 Southeast Asian Games (Seagames) in Myanmar; 25th spot in the Langkawi Mountainbike Challenge; the championship title in the Iskandar Johor Mega Ride in Malaysia; and 20th in the men's open of the Yawatahama International Mountainbike Challenge in Japan.
This year, Surban sets his eyes on several international races.
He hopes to join the Yawatahama race again, then the 2014 JFC/MTB Japan Series in Fujimi Panorama and most of all in the Asean Games in Korea.
"I haven't competed in the Asean Games. Four years ago, it was in Qatar, and there was no mountainbike competition because of the flat surface. Hopefully, this year, the Philippine Cycling Federation will be sending a team and that I will be included in the line-up," said Surban.

The Harvard men's tennis team ended its season Saturday with a 5-2 loss to Stanford in the opening round of the NCAA Championships in Athens, Ga.
Stanford was too strong and too deep for the Crimson, now 17-7. The Cardinal squad, seeded fifth in the tournament, features several players with impressive accomplishments on the pro tour.
At first singles, Stanford's Dan Goldie, one of the top 100 players in the world according to the Association of Tennis Professionals computer, defeated Larry Scott, 6-3, 6-3. Scott pulled off a stunning upset earlier this season when he knocked off Goldie in straight sets.
At number two, the Crimson's Bill Stanley fell to Jim Grabb, 6-3, 6-3. Grabb is ranked among the top 150 players on the ATP computer.
Harvard's Peter Palandjian surprised Pat McEnroe in a three-set upset at number three. McEnroe, the younger brother of a better known tennis player, is about 60 places higher than Palandjian in the latest collegiate singles rankings. However, Palandjian was not intimidated, taking a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 decision.
At number four, the Crimson's Arkie Engle lost to Eric Rosenfeld--who is ranked among the top 40 collegiate singles players--6-3, 6-2.
Harvard's Paul Palandjian accounted for the Crimson's second victory with a stunning upset of John Letts at number five. Letts reached the doubles semifinals one of the four major professional "Grand Slam" events, the Australian Open, earlier this year. Nonetheless, Palandjian prevailed in three sets, 6-4, 2-6, 6-3.
At number six, the Crimson's Darryl Laddin lost for the second time this season to Scott Moody of Stanford, 6-4, 7-5.
Leading 4-2 after singles, the Cardinal needed only one doubles win to sew up the match. McEnroe and Letts provided the decisive victory, combining to defeat Stanley and Peter Palandjian, 6-2, 6-2.
The other two doubles matches were not completed because Stanford had already secured the match victory.
Although Harvard has been eliminated from team competition, individual singles and doubles tournaments will be played later in the week.
Scott is entered in the singles tournament. He and Arkie Engle will also team up for the doubles championships.
Netwomen Blanked
Harvard's women's tennis team also had a tough time against its Cardinal competition, as Stanford blanked the netwomen, 9-0, in first round NCAA competition.
The Crimson's six singles players--Kathy Vigna, Cindy Buchsbaum, Erika Smith, Robin Boss, Cynthia Austrian and Martha Berkman--all dropped decisions to Cardinal opponents.
In doubles play, the Stanford duo of Patty Fendick and Leigh Anne Eldredge defeated Vigna and Smith, 6-1, 7-5. Cari Hagey and Stephanie Savides edged Boss and Berkman, 6-4, 7-6 (with a 7-5 tiebreaker), while Kay Tittle and Marianne Werdell knocked Austrian and Buchsbaum, 7-5, 6-2.
Vigna will compete in NCAA singles play, and will team up with Smith in doubles competition later in the week.
