Teksavvy, you are the most ridiculous company I've every dealt with. (self.teksavvy)
submitted 1 year ago by LtoRtoLtoR
Here's my story: 3 weeks ago, I called to get some internet, as I'm back to university. All is good, apart from the fact it took me an hour to set up an account already created. Got told it would be ready 1.5week later. Didn't happen. The Bell guy never came. They tell me it's going to be another week.
Today I get an email saying that my DSL order is rejected, that I can't get the same service as I did last school year, I can only get half the speed. Sorry I'm missing a key detail here, it took around 50 minutes to get that confirmed. Maybe you could've told me this 3 weeks ago for fuck sakes. I waited 3 weeks and wasted hours on the phone because of your incompetence, you are a shame.
[–]viralinfector 10 points11 points12 points 1 year ago
If you researched DSL, you would understand that Teksavvy uses the existing infrastructure which is OWNED by Bell. They cannot foresee what speeds are going to be exact in any given area. The only way they can verify it, is when you get connected. Chances are, your loop length distance keeps you just outside your range. It has been known that Bell will BUMP anyone using "Legacy 6.0" services in favour of customers paying for Higher speed services as they make more money. For more information in regards to this before you start attacking a company that has been fighting for YOUR rights as a Canadian for better pricing and better competition.
tl:dr -- RESEARCH BEFORE PLEASE (Refer: dslreports.com)
[–]LtoRtoLtoR[S] -3 points-2 points-1 points 1 year ago
I was using Teksavvy last school year with a speed of 12mbps, everything pointed to the fact I could get the same service again. I'm attacking a company that cheated me as a customer, what they do to the country is irelevant to my problem.
[–]darkstar3333 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
They (TekSavvy) can only offer you what is made available to them by Bell.
If Bell says "Sorry all of those slots are filled in that area" there is nothing that can be done.
[–]iJeff 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
Teksavvy have some of the nicest people working for it and great plans but with one of the shittiest business structures. Tech support is non-existent besides troubleshooting due to their reliance on Bell. It is like calling an FAQ article. They also do not issue credits for anything, regardless of the fact that you may have had over a month long period of an unstable connection due to nodes outside of your house.

Welcome to Third world internet!
[–]astroNerf 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
So far, my only beef with TekSavvy is that my download speed is capped ~300KB/s (~2.5Mb/s) when I technically pay for "up to" 5MB/s. I run speed tests every few weeks and so far it's never been higher than 300KB/s. I'm guessing this is a Bell issue, though.
I had no issues getting the initial set-up, though. The Bell technician was in and out in under 2 minutes. TekSavvy (and other resellers) are at the mercy the providers from which they purchase bandwidth. This is one of the reasons that TekSavvy, Acanac, and OpenMedia, among others, have pushed for changes to the way Internet access is sold in Canada.
[–]InconvenientBoner 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
it could also be a router issue. try connecting your computer directly to your modem and doing a speed check then. odds are it'll be a lot faster.
[–]astroNerf 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
I tried connecting to my modem directly, with no difference. I did notice, however, that when I log into the modem using its web interface, my connection speed is listed as
[up (kbps)]/[down (kbps)]: 800 / 3008
According to the bill I receive each month, I should be getting up to 6Mbps, and not 3, as my modem indicates. Maybe I'll email Teksavvy.
[–]gilkan 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
When I originally setup my Teksavvy account Bell had my speed wrong on their side. Maybe try asking Teksavvy to confirm with Bell that your account is setup correctly.
[–]Vagrant_Tiere 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I had this problem with a company that I worked for last year. It has to do with the distance between your point of connection and the service center. We were roughly 6.4 KM iirc, from the service center, which limited our speed to a crawling 0.95 MBPS. This wasn't Techsavvy's fault by any means and they adjusted our bill accordingly.
I've only had positive experiences with them, especially with my home service. My only qualm is that they only offer a 1MBPS upstream with their cable packages.
[–]astroNerf 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
As it turns out, it was Bell's fault. They created my account at the wrong speed (3MBps instead of 6) and Teksavvy has no technical way of knowing this - it's up to the customer to run speed checks to verify that everything was set up properly.
It's since been fixed but Teksavvy did not offer any compensation beyond a simple apology. I'm happy that my Internet is now as fast as I originally expected it to be, but I'm still perturbed that I was paying for 6 and only receiving 3.
all it takes is a username and password

is it really that easy? only one way to find out...
already have an account and just want to login?

Part 2 of the SharePoint 2010 series follows through from the basic installation and setup of an Application Server for SharePoint 2010 farm found here here .
The following are recommended configuration changes you should make before you let users into your SharePoint environment and erm make a mess of it J
They are as follows:-
- State Service Application and Proxy
- Secure Store Service
- Outgoing Email
- Configuring Search Service and Crawl Service
- Health and Diagnostic Logging
- Monitoring Drive Space
- Web Analytics
Recommended reading : Technet about Service Application
State Service Application and Proxy
State Service can be installed using the Configuration Wizard under Central Admin but I strongly recommend the use of PowerShell scripts which can be easily available from State Service via PowerShell on TechNet
Scripted Install of State Service
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | #SharePoint Service Applications - State Service Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue . .\config.ps1 Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "Creating State Service and Proxy..." New-SPStateServiceApplication -Name $stateSAName | New-SPStateServiceApplicationProxy -Name "$stateSAName Proxy" -DefaultProxyGroup > $null Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "Finished Creating State Service and Proxy... Connecting State Service to existing Database" Mount-SPStateServiceDatabase –Name $spSAStateServiceDB –DatabaseServer $databaseServerName –ServiceApplication $stateSAName –Weight 10 | Initialize-SPStateServiceDatabase Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "State Service Script Completed." |
I would be first pre creating the database on the SQL server
Note: the Collation ID should be "Latin1_General_CI_AS_KS_WS"
On the SharePoint Server open PowerShell under the administrator mode.
The reason I hit the error was to show most normal scenario when you would have a separate DBA team that manage the SQL server. When you send a request for a Database to be created for SharePoint make sure that you provide the DBA with the service account that you use to install SharePoint. In the case of this post domain\srvPRDSPSetup. So now I will go add an extra user called Setup Account with DB_owner permission on the SQL server for the database
Once that has been completed, before running the script don't forget to go and delete the State Service Application that was created previously before installing it again
Now let's try that again
Secure Store Service
Before I go ahead and create a Secure Store Service, I am going to create a new service account called SharePoint Service Applications account to manage all my service applications and their application pool account. So within my SharePoint OU I create a new service account
Back on the SharePoint server I am going to add this account to the managed accounts within SharePoint.
A very useful feature within SharePoint 2010 is the managed Accounts section because you can provide the SharePoint with a lot more scope around the service account.
To install via GUI method you can browse to the Application Management page and choose to create a new Secure Store Service Application by filling in all the details.
But where's the fun in that??
Scripted Install
First and foremost I am going to create an application Pool for all the services to make use of
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 | #SharePoint Service Application App Pool Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue . .\config.ps1 Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "************************************************************" #Creating New Application Pool and Authentication $saAppPool = Get-SPServiceApplicationPool -Identity $saAppPoolName -EA 0 if($saAppPool -eq $null) { Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "Creating Service Application Pool..." $appPoolAccount = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity $appPoolUserName -EA 0 if($appPoolAccount -eq $null) { Write-Host -ForegroundColor RED "Please supply the password for the Service Account..." $appPoolCred = Get-Credential $appPoolUserName $appPoolAccount = New-SPManagedAccount -Credential $appPoolCred -EA 0 } $appPoolAccount = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity $appPoolUserName -EA 0 if($appPoolAccount -eq $null) { Write-Host -ForegroundColor RED "Cannot create or find the managed account $appPoolUserName, please ensure the account exists." Exit -1 } New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name $saAppPoolName -Account $appPoolAccount -EA 0 > $null } Write-Host -ForegroundColor Red "Finished Creating Application Pool for SharePoint Web Services" Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "************************************************************" |
Next I will run the Secure Store Script
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 | #SharePoint Service Applications - Secure Store Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue . .\config.ps1 #Secure Store Service and Proxy Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "************************************************************" Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "Creating Secure Store Service and Proxy..." New-SPSecureStoreServiceapplication -Name $secureStoreSAName -Sharing:$false -DatabaseServer $databaseServerName -DatabaseName $spSASecureStoreDB -ApplicationPool $saAppPoolName -auditingEnabled:$true -auditlogmaxsize 30 | New-SPSecureStoreServiceApplicationProxy -name "$secureStoreSAName Proxy" -DefaultProxygroup > $null Get-SPServiceInstance | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq "Secure Store Service"} | Start-SPServiceInstance > $null Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "Finished Creating Secure Store Service and Proxy..." Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "************************************************************" |
The Config file that both the scripts use
Once the service application has completed install, browse via Central Admin to the Applications management page to Secure Store Service
Highlight Secure Store Service and click on Manage from the ribbon
Click on Generate new Key from the top of the ribbon
Type the passphrase to be used
The following screen shows the end of secure store service for the time being
Outgoing Email Setup
Currently I am still rebuilding my Exchange 2010 server in my environment, and hopefully during the Xmas break I will finish setting it upJ. But for the time being the following steps will need to be completed to setup the Outgoing email server on SharePoint 2010. You can also use a simple SMTP setup at this stage as well.
Open Central Admin and browse to System Settings
Click on "Configure Outgoing Email Settings"
This completes the setup of Outgoing Email Server
Configuring Search
While SharePoint and Search requires much much much much more deeper discussion, at this stage of my Install all the post is going to cover are basic setup of Search application ( Out of the box search) and then go on to schedule a search.
First and foremost we need to switch on Foundation Search
Create two service accounts – SharePoint Search Service and SharePoint Crawl Service accounts and add them to the managed accounts within SharePoint
- Open Central Admin and browse to "Manage Services on Server"
Scroll down to SharePoint Foundation Search which will show as "Stopped" and click on start
The service will start now
Search Service Application and Proxy
Search Script
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 | #SharePoint Service Application - Search Service Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue . .\config.ps1 # 1.Setting up some initial variables.

This concludes the initial setup of Search Service Application. Setting up a Crawl would be covered when the installation reaches a stage where there is data to be crawled by the SharePoint server.
Usage, Health and Diagnostic Logging Setup
To set this up on the fly, Central Admin Website would be the most recommended method as it would give you a bit more functions and features to be setup on the initial process itself when compared to Scripted methods found here and here .
Open Central Admin Website and click on the Monitoring Tab
- Click on "Configure usage and health data collection"
- Configure the page as required.
- Recommendation is to change the location of the default log files to another location other than the system drive.
If you are following a naming convention for databases this can be used for the Logging Database as well.
- Click OK to save the settings
Recommendation: Go through the Health and Log Collection Schedule to customize these according to the needs of your organization.
- Under the Monitoring Page now click on "Configure Diagnostic Logging"
Recommended to change the location and size of the Trace log files
If you find the Proxy service stopped under the "Manage Service Applications" Page run the following script to fix it
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 | #SharePoint Start Usage and Health Proxy Service Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue . .\config.ps1 $Usage = Get-SPServiceApplicationProxy | where {$_.TypeName -eq "Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy"} $Usage.provision() |
Thanks to Avinash for the article on the same found here .
Monitoring Drive Space
Your SharePoint server is going to grow and it's going to grow huge. Some of the usual suspects for the same are:-
- IIS Logs
- Web App Directories (Basically your IIS Files)
- SharePoint Logs
- SharePoint Usage and Data Collection
- SharePoint Search Index
On my SharePoint VM I have got another partition where I place all the baddies away from my system Drive
Web Analytics
To configure Web Analytics via Central Admin, browse through "Manage Service Applications" and create a new Web Analytic Service and Proxy.
To configure via PowerShell use the following script
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 | #SharePoint Service Application - Web Analytics Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -erroraction SilentlyContinue . .\config.ps1 #Web Analytics Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "********************************************" Write-Host -ForegroundColor Blue "Creating Web Analytics Service and Proxy..." $stagerSubscription = "" $reportingSubscription = "" New-SPWebAnalyticsServiceApplication -Name $WebAnalyticsSAName -ApplicationPool $saAppPoolName -ReportingDataRetention 20 -SamplingRate 100 -ListOfReportingDatabases $reportingSubscription -ListOfStagingDatabases $stagerSubscription > $null New-SPWebAnalyticsServiceApplicationProxy -Name "$WebAnalyticsSAName Proxy" -ServiceApplication $WebAnalyticsSAName > $null Get-SPServiceInstance | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq "Web Analytics Web Service"} | Start-SPServiceInstance > $null Get-SPServiceInstance | where-object {$_.TypeName -eq "Web Analytics Data Processing Service"} | Start-SPServiceInstance > $null Write-Host -ForegroundColor Green "********************************************" |
This pretty much concludes the Post- Install steps after Central Admin Website is up and running.

FOX Sports Exclusive
Murray gets his day at Wimbledon
This one is forever. For Andy Murray. For Britain. It took forever.
It lasts forever.
Andy Murray is the Wimbledon champion. How many times has he heard that in his head over the years? How old was he the first time? How many times has he told himself he'd never get there? He beat Novak Djokovic 6-4, 7-5, 6-4 Sunday, and is the first Brit to win Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936.
Understand that for the Brits, this is like the Boston Red Sox finally winning the World Series. It would be like the Chicago Cubs ... well, let's be serious.
Sometimes, it seems impossible breaking forever, making forever.
"I think I persevered,'' Murray said. "That's really been it, the story of my career probably.''
We've seen this journey for years, Murray's and the Brits' together. We've seen him cry. We've seen the Brits place so much pressure on him with cover-to-cover tabloid mania. For so long, the Brits, so naturally pessimistic, surrounded him with daily panic that he just might lose. Murray had the same feelings.
It was self-fulfilling.
Check out shots of Kim Sears and other celebs who turned out in force for the Wimbledon final.The truth is, his British connection is so much deeper, tied all the way to an unforgettable tragedy. In 1996, when Murray was 8, a gunman entered his school in Dunblane, Scotland, and shot 16 kids -- 5- and 6-year olds -- and a teacher to death. The gunman then took his own life.
Murray was hiding under the desk of the headmaster.
He doesn't talk about it, but did say in his book that his family had known the shooter, and had driven him places.
"That is probably another reason why I don't want to look back at it,'' he wrote in his book "Hitting Back.'' "It is just so uncomfortable to think that it was someone we knew from the Boys Club. We used to go to the club and have fun. Then to find out he's a murderer was something my brain couldn't cope with.''
Imagine a Newtown survivor growing up to do something of such public pride. Murray's deeply in the British fabric.
That's what I loved about his post-match celebration. Sure, everyone jumps into the friends box now, which he did. But when he got up there, he turned and waved to the crowd.
From Nearly Naked Camper Guy to the glorious Tennis Ball Bra Girls, check out our favorite fans from Wimbledon 2013.(As he started to climb back to the court, he discovered he hadn't hugged his Mom, who was his coach for years: "I did forget her. I just heard her squealing when I tried to get down.'')
The thing about tennis is that you see these guys so personally, so up close. They stand there on the court, alone, for hours and hours, fighting. They don't talk to anyone that long (other than Murray's screaming at his coaches, or his Mom).
There are no helmets, no timeouts, no teammates.
Nowhere to hide.
So we've seen Murray in tears. We've seen him duped by Roger Federer, who once, before a major final, noted that there was no pressure on him, but that it was all on Murray. And of course, that was a way to make Murray think about it, feel it.
It worked. Murray lost.
When he lost to Federer at Wimbledon last year, Murray started crying, and told the crowd:
"I'm getting closer.''
Over the years, you should have seen it here. Sure, you've seen the crowds mobbing Henman Hill, or Murray Mound, whatever you want to call it. I remember once, as I stood in the way back on that hill, watching Murray on the big screen, a woman asked if she could sit on my shoulders.
A few minutes later, another woman asked.
While the excitement was there this year, the panic never was, in Murray or the Brits. They have a national pessimism about pretty much everything here, and I believe it all turned at the London Olympics last year.
The Brits all thought the Olympics would be a disaster. And the truth is, Murray wasn't looking forward to the Games. After he lost to Federer in the Wimbledon final, he was ready for one of his typical post-major funks.
But he found that fans had fallen for him because of his tears. They felt sympathy for his journey. He was motivated. When the Olympics came, the tabloids couldn't focus so much on him. That helped.
So he won gold. And the Olympics were a smashing success overall.
It was safe to believe.
Murray took that to the U.S. Open, where he beat Djokovic in the final for his first major title. He had his major, finally.
But he was always going to be defined by Wimbledon.
Well, sevens were wild Sunday. He was the first Brit man to win Wimbledon in 77 years. Virginia Wade won the women's title in 1977. And the date Sunday? Yes: 7-7.
Murray and Djokovic are now the game's top rivalry, as Federer is slipping and Nadal's knees are unreliable. Murray and Djokovic have faced each other in three of the past four major finals.
And as always between these two, Sunday's match was filled with long, physical, crushing rallies. Djokovic was not at his best, and likely was worn out from his marathon semifinal against Juan Martin del Potro.
"It took a lot out of me,'' Djokovic said. "I cannot look for excuses in the match two days ago. I've been in these situations before. I felt OK.
"Maybe physically, because I didn't feel maybe I had enough gas in the important moments, I went for my shots more than usual. That's life.''
Murray, meanwhile, was running down dropshots all the way to the end.
In the last game, Murray was up 40-0, with three championship points. Djokovic got it back to deuce, making the wait just a little longer.
"I don't know how I managed to come through that last game,'' Murray said. "It was unbelievable.''
It was forever.

Sad .....
The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Bucks one game out of playoff spot
The Bucks head into a back-to-back weekend set against Philadelphia and Boston and find themselves just one game behind Indiana and Charlotte for the final Eastern Conference playoff spot.
The Pacers lost their sixth straight game in Toronto on Friday night while Charlotte halted a six-game losing streak with a 97-92 victory over Portland.
That means the Bucks (25-38) are even in the loss column with the Pacers (27-38) and Bobcats (27-38).
The 76ers are coming off an impressive 89-86 victory over the Celtics on Friday night and are just one-half game behind the New York Knicks for the sixth spot in the East.
Charlotte and Indiana do not play on Saturday night but resume play Sunday. The Bobcats are at Toronto and the Pacers will play the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Bucks forward Ersan Ilyasova remains out with a concussion and now has been sidelined for two weeks since being injured in practice on Feb. 25.
Forward Corey Maggette was able to go through all of practice Friday and should be available against the 76ers, according to Bucks coach Scott Skiles. Maggette injured his right knee in a collision against the Celtics on Sunday and sat out the Bucks' victories against Washington and Cleveland earlier this week.

the Bucks could be the First 50 loss team to make the Playoffs on NBA history!
Sad ..... -
Ok Bucks, you've been keeping up your end of the bargain by losing 12 of your last 18 games. Now I just need to go and give the Bobcats and the Pacers a stern talking to for their recent performance. You can't let them outsmart you! This whole season is just mind-numbingly absurd and saturated with bad basketball...but every time I think we have reached the point of saturation it just keeps coming...
I think the joke is on us...
It's just not very funny. -
is it possible to Have 50 losses, be in the palyoffs and just outside the Lottery in the Draft? the Bucks could be the first do do just that!
Who cares? This playoff spot is for losers and will only serve as practice games for the big boys.
Don't listen to these guys. It is always good to make the playoffs. Good experience for the players. Some of these guys came from losing teams, so I'm sure they'd like a taste of a post season as well.
Why people cheer for their team to lose I will never understand.... -
"Don't listen to these guys. It is always good to make the playoffs. Good experience for the players"
Wow.. that playoff experience from last year sure carried over to this season... not -
OF COURSE YOU PURSUE THE PLAYOFFS! This is professional basketball. Such vacuuous rationale (NOT "logic"!) to play for the June draft to the exclusion of postseason competition. And utterly indefensible.
Especially, especially, especially for a draft that is, as some of the most dreadful individual performances in recent college basketball history are underscoring during this, NCAA "Championship Week," the most unassuring, lean and shallow as any this century.
Aside from the Law of Skiles which is to scratch, hammerlock and eye gouge until eliminated!
(It is gigglicious, though, to note the patsies pushing for the Bucks to lay down!)
The SuperBlogger.
With the trademark exponential insight. -
Swampr, In Michael Jordan's second season with the Bulls, they made the playoffs with a 30-52 record, so the Bucks would not be the first 50 loss team to make the playoffs even if that were to happen.
With the exception of a couple of games, I felt the bucks have played hard. The reality is that with the timing of all of the injuries this year, this team just hasn't been able to gel and play together.
I for one would welcome Redd back and have the bucks try as hard as they can to make the playoffs, even if it is a first round bounce. You can't draft playoff experience.
Having said that, I think there is a realistic chance the bucks lose the next four games (phi, bos, atl, orl) and then all you bashers can get excited talking about all of the trash coming out of the NCAA this year that will supposedly help the bucks. Let's say the bucks get the #1 pick this year in the draft, who are you excited about that is going to dramatically change this franchise? -
Well, I agree with GiT that you always try for the play-offs when they are in front of you. But man, it is absurd that this team still has a shot.
I guess this is why the nba rates so high on the chart, just lose baby, lose.

"An easy drive to Monument Valley"
The staff was very nice. Our room was beautiful and clean. We ate dinner in their restaurant and ordered pizza which was excellent. The breakfast was very good. The gift shop was great. The hotel decor was beautiful and so appropriate for this part of Arizona.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
Beautifully clean and immaculate hotel run by welcoming staff Absolutely no atmosphere and non alcoholicAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
This was an overnight stop to see Monument Valley, about half an hour from the hotel. The girl on the front desk was polite, friendly and very informative on how to get to Monument Valley which we did that afternoon. The room was clean, comfortable and everything you would need was there.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"If going to Monument Valley"
Very convenient to Monument Valley. The rooms are very comfortable and and have all the typical amenities. A great breakfast and the front staff very helpful with directions to Monument Valley. The hotel is located close to a grocery store which is nice to get snacks. the hotel os have washing machine/dryers but there is a wait. Be aware that since […] there are only two or three places to stay in Kayenta tour buses are plentiful. There are only 2 restaurants in the area and the dining room at the Hampton Inn was booked; however, the manager referred us to one down the street and that was fine. There are a number of Native American pan handlers in the area and they are not shy about stopping you in the parking lots , but most are very nice about it. Overall, very satisfied with our stay.

"Great if you're visiting Monument Valley"
We recently took a road trip to Northern AZ and ended up at the Hampton Inn Kayenta due to a friend's recommendation. I was traveling with my husband and two small children. The hotel was a great choice for a one night stay prior to visiting Monument Valley. It was conveniently located and very easy to find. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and […] we were able to easily fit a playpen into a room with two beds. Pros of the Hampton Inn Kayenta: delicious cookies upon arrival, professional & efficient front desk staff, clean rooms, free continental breakfast, proximity to Monument Valley Cons of the hotel: a little dated (the grout was coming out in the bathroom which led to loose/jagged tiles), room service took well over an hour to deliver food (though, it was delicious). I would definitely stay here again if I'm in the area in the future. Pročitajte višeAutentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju

"Nice stay to go to Monument Valley"
Room is clean although the building is not new. We stayed 1 king bed and sofa bed room that had bathtub. Surprisingly the free breakfast included miso-soup and steamed rice. I recommend the restaurant for dinner. They have special menus with Najabo fried bread. It's really nice! Enjoy your dinner, too.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"no refrigerator"
The hotel is good, but there is no refrigerator. That's not good.Autentične Hotels.com recenzije gostiju
"Good for Monument Valley"
Average hotel with clean comfotable rooms. If you like an evening drink with your meal beaware that the hotel is located on native Indain land and therefore no alcohol permitted. 20 miles from Monument Valley but a fast straight road and no traffic at all means only 20 minutes away.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Very nice hotel in the middle of nowhere"
This was one of the nicer hotels we stayed at on a recent road trip from Colorado to California. Kayenta is in the middle of nowhere with not many hotel choices. So, not only was this one of the nicer hotels, it was also one of the pricier ones -- kind of a supply/demand thing. :-)Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

"Better than First Class!"
Rarely do I stay at a hotel/motel where 100% of the staff appears 100% happy to be there. That was the case here. The hotel is near Monument Valley, in the heart of the Navajo Nation.

"Monument Valley driving tour"
We drove from southern CA to tour Monument Valley, beautiful area, breath taking scenery... tribal park is amazing, but the road thru the park is terrible, not paved or well maintained. You need to take their tour vehicle or drive an SUV. You must allow a couple of hours at least, to drive thru the tribal park area.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju

"Comfortable hotel close to Monument Valley"
Nice and beautiful hotel in Navajo area. It's one of the few hotels in the area. It' beautiful and comfortable but is 30 minutes driving from Monument Valley .

"Great Value in Kayenta"
The Hampton Inn in Kayenta is the best deal in town. Good quality hotel for a reasonable price. They include free breakfast and also offer dinner since there are limited options in Kayenta.

"Very nice hotel"
This is a very nice, clean hotel. We felt secure and safe here, which was a concern on this trip.Autentične Expedia recenzije gostiju
"Best option while visiting Kayenta"
The hotel staff went above and beyond to make the stay pleasant. Very friendly, and bent over backwards to accommodate my sick girlfriend. The restaurant had delicious options and amazing service. The room was large and comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, the shower had a great shower head that was up nice and high (I'm 6' 2), and the views of the […] mesas and rock formations in the distance were a beautiful sight to wake up to. If you're going to visit Monument Valley, this is the place to stay. The peak season cost is too high for the location and facilities, but besides the cost this was a wonderful experience all around.

My husband and I are expecting our first child, a girl, in early November. To start out, our Norwegian last name is pronounced ronHAHVdee.
We pretty much had a boy's name picked out, but I had a long list of girls' names, some of which my husband vetoed almost immediately (Shea, Eden, Peyton, Leighton). When we started the process, my husband said that I could make the list, and he would pick from it (hence the elimination so quickly). Here is our dilemma...we think we have settled on Camryn (pronounced like Cameron) although I haven't fully ruled out McKenna. I thought I could sneak in one of my eliminated names for the middle name (Camryn Shea), but no such luck.
My middle name is Lynn and my mother-in-law's name is Lynne. And every name my mom has suggested has had the middle name Lynn because she likes it so much. So in a way, we'd be honoring me, my mom and mother-in-law with Camryn Lynn, but I never really liked my middle name. I would have much rather had Leigh. So now I'm considering Camryn Leigh, which my husband is fine with (but he also likes Camryn Lynn).
A side note: the one thing about going with Camryn is the thought that I am setting my daughter up for a lifetime of spelling and pronouncing both her first AND last name. Additionally, she will probably never find her name on one of those custom bicycle license plates or cool name pencil for school in a gift shop.
With Camryn Leigh, we aren't honoring anyone, and we don't care for any other female family names either. So, back to the grandmothers, my mom is Sally (nickname for Sarah which is a family name) so we could do Sarah Lynn or Sarah Lynne to honor both mothers. I do love the name Sarah, and it is a classic name, but I know so many Sarah's, and I'm afraid it might sound a little old fashioned as my daughter grows older.
So I'm really torn about using a family name which I don't care for, so we can honor the grandmothers (and by the way, we know that this is probably going to be our only child). Or honor neither and go with a name we choose because we like it.
Help! And thank you in advance for your consideration!
Two previous posts that might be of use here: Name Advice for First-Time Parents and Choosing Between Two Finalists.
Now I'll turn to your other concerns, and I hope knock them down like little bowling pins, clonk clonk.
Concern #1: A Camryn won't be able to find personalized pencils and license plates. For the number of times I've heard personalized license plates mentioned, I'd expect to see them on almost every bike in town, with the poor uncommon-named children sitting despondent on the sidewalk, too sad to even ride their plateless bikes---and yet I don't know the last time I've seen a name plate on a bike or even seen them in a store. The store where I last saw a small selection of them was mostly stocked not with actual plates but with order forms. Pencils are the same: there is indeed a small selection of names available in some stores, but it's easy and cheap to order a set online. The internet may be a mixed bag of pros and cons, but I'd say it's eliminated the problem of not being able to find personalized products.
Concern #2: A Camryn will have to constantly spell her first and last name. It's true, she will, but so does everyone else. A favorite anecdote in our family is when a family friend with a very difficult surname was ordering a pizza to pick up on her way home, and she said as she was dialing that she always uses "Smith" because she gets so sick of having to spell her surname. Then we heard her place her order, and then she said "Smith," and then there was a pause and she said "S...m...i...t...h." If you choose Sarah, she'll constantly have to tell people whether it's Sarah or Sara (or even Sera, Sierra, Cera, etc.). It's so common now to change spellings, even a Jane Smith has to spell her name. This isn't to say it's not a good thing to keep in mind (there's a huge difference between having to spell Sarah Smith and having to spell Mykinzeigh VonJacht), but Camryn is a widely-accepted spelling.
BUT: Since you love both Camryn and Sarah, I'd cast my vote with Sarah. A modern name could sound time-stamped in another decade, but a name that's been popular for centuries is unlikely to result in anyone saying anything along the lines of "I have such a SEVENTIES name." And I love that the name Sarah Lynne would honor both grandmothers, particularly if this will be your only child. And I suspect that Sally is going to become one of the next hip throwback nicknames. And you'd definitely be able to find the pencils and license plates and Christmas ornaments.
But this is strongly influenced by my own preference for the style of Sarah, and also I have a dear friend named Sara, and also I love family names. I can equally well argue against my own points in the previous paragraph (as I already have on the subject of personalized products) by adding that I don't think time-stamping is something important (or even always possible, or preferable) to avoid. I'm a 1970s Kristen, but I kind of like it that people don't have to meet me to know basically how old I am: there aren't many elderly women or small children named Kristen, so I feel like my name makes sense for me---just as a name that currently feels modern will make sense for people born now. (I still vote for Sarah, though.)
About the middle name. If you choose your mother's name Sarah as the first name, I'd recommend using the Lynne (mother-in-law) spelling for the middle name. If you spell it Lynn, it does increase the fun of matching mother/daughter middle names---but then the name is clearly after you, and only coincidentally happens to be your mother-in-law's name. If you use Camryn as the first name, I think it's the same deal (Lynne honors your mother-in-law; Lynn is after you and what a happy coincidence it's the mother-in-law's name too), but it's less politically important which you choose since no one else is being honored.
If your dislike of the name Lynn/Lynne causes you to not want to use it, I wonder if you'd like something in the Lynneleigh/Lynnley/Linley area. It diminishes the honor (especially the further the spelling gets from Lynne), but perhaps at a worth-it cost. Or perhaps at that point it would be better to go with Leigh. Or Camryn Sarahlynne.
Let's have a poll over to the right for Camryn and Sarah, and I'll put McKenna in there too since it sounds like it's still on the finalist list. [Poll closed; see results below.]
Name update! Wendy writes:
Hi Swistle! First, I just want to thank you and all your readers for your help and suggestions on our name dilemma. I loved reading each post and checking in on the voting poll.
I am happy to announce that we welcomed our beautiful baby daughter, Camryn Lynn, on November 16th. It was a tough decision right up until the end, but I have to say that I have received so many compliments on the name, and we were able to honor both grandmothers with the middle name Lynn.
After much discussion after your post, my husband and I eliminated Sarah (too common) and McKenna from the running. However, we did add Riley as a late entry to the list of consideration. I was so torn between the two names right up until one week before she arrived. One day I favored Riley, and the next I favored Camryn and I was driving myself (not to mention my husband) crazy. We were going to go to the hospital with both names and wait to see which name she looked like, but I was afraid to make such a spontaneous decision. So finally, on my actual due date (11/9), I just made an executive decision to go with Camryn Lynn.
So, I feel a little bit guilty that our daughter is going to have to spell her first and last name her entire life (but as you said in your post, who doesn't?). But I have to say, I do not regret the decision at all. Thank you again for your input and thank you to everyone who weighed in!

BANGALORE: Two raging controversial issues dominated BJP national president Nitin Gadkari's one-on-one review meeting with chief minister B S Yeddyurappa on Saturday — mining and Lokayukta.
Gadkari took note of developments that had cropped up in the last few weeks — resignation of Justice N Santosh Hegde, illegal shipment of seized iron ore from Belikere port and opposition parties utilizing the opportunity and nailing the government. Interestingly, he chose to review the mines and geology department in the end.

text: #95-02 Summary: Traditional financial theory has little to say about hedging non-diversifiable risks. It assumes that the set of assets is given and focuses on the efficient sharing of these risks through exchange. This diversification strategy has no effect on macroeconomic shocks (such as an oil crisis) which affect all asset prices in a similar way. This paper focuses on the intertemporal smoothing of risk. Risks which cannot be diversified at a given point in time can be averaged over time in a way that reduces their impact on individual welfare. One hedging strategy for these risks is intergenerational risk sharing, which spreads the risks associated with a given stock of assets across generations with heterogeneous experiences. Another strategy involves asset accumulation in order to reduce fluctuations in consumption over time. In standard financial models, it is usually argued that someone must bear the non-diversifiable risk. Such models implicitly assume away possibilities for intertemporal smoothing. At the other extreme, in an ideal Arrow-Debreu world, cross-sectional risk sharing and intertemporal smoothing are undertaken automatically if markets are complete and participation in those markets is complete. This paper considers the consequences of intertemporal smoothing for welfare and for positive issues such as asset pricing in a model with incomplete markets. In contrast to previous papers, the authors analyze how the risk arising from the dividend stream of long-lived assets is not eliminated by financial markets but can be eliminated by an intermediary. The authors use a simple model with two assets, a risky asset in fixed supply and a safe asset that can be accumulated over time. They demonstrate that in market equilibrium the safe asset is not usually held but, in fact, is dominated by the risky asset. The authors argue that there is a serious form of market failure in the market equilibrium allocation. The standard definition of Pareto efficiency disguises the potential for achieving a substantial increase in welfare through intertemporal smoothing. They demonstrate that by accumulating reserves in the form of the safe asset and using them to "smooth" the returns to the risky asset, it is possible to increase the welfare of all but a negligible set of agents by a non-negligible and uniform amount. The authors then interpret intertemporal smoothing as the product of intermediation and suggest that the contrasting performance of the U.S. and German economies may be understood in terms of this intertemporal smoothing mechanism. They further demonstrate, however, that the mechanism is fragile and that competition from financial markets can lead to disintermediation, which causes the smoothing mechanism to unravel. The last section of the paper extends these arguments and applies the ideas to social security, occupational pensions and investment in housing. |

OAKLAND, Calif. — Tyrone Corbin finally broke the silence on his starting lineup.
Mo Williams, Gordon Hayward, Marvin Williams, Paul Millsap and Al Jefferson will take to the court first when the Jazz begin their eight-game exhibition season at 8:30 p.m. MT against the Warriors.
The game will not be televised but can be heard live on 1280 AM/97.5 FM.
Corbin has cautioned that tonight's starting crew might not be the same five who begin the season in the opening rotation.
The Jazz coach also said he plans on spreading out the minutes tonight, preferring to keep his main guys' time limited while giving the bench players plenty of opportunities with different combinations.
"(We're) still in training camp. We're going to look at different guys," Corbin said. "We'll start a way tonight, but that don't mean that that's the way we'll start. We're looking to look at guys and see what combinations — all exhibition season — give us the best chance to win."
Though outsiders might get worked up about starting lineups, Corbin is trying to convince his players to not worry about such matters.
"My message to the guys, 'Don't worry about who's starting. Just be ready to play when you play,'" Corbin said.
For one, Jazz power forward Paul Millsap, in a position battle with Derrick Favors, said he isn't focusing on specific roles.
"I don't think about it. My goal is to get out there and play basketball whenever I'm called," Millsap said. "My job is to get better, continue to get better, and leave that up to Coach."
Gordon Hayward, a possible starter at either shooting guard or small forward, said he looks forward to seeing the Jazz "run a lot more" this season with an increase of athletic players.
He's excited to play the Warriors instead of his teammates, too.
"It'll be good," he said, "to get a fresh start, both offensively and defensively and see where we stand."
Guards Earl Watson (knee) and Raja Bell (not at camp) are the only Jazz players who won't be available for tonight's game.
The Jazz are also without assistant coach Jeff Hornacek, who did not travel to Oakland with the team because of a "family matter," according to Corbin. The coach did not say when Hornacek will rejoin the team.
Golden State opened its preseason action with a 110-83 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.

The Growth of Television and the Decline of Local Beer
This chapter describes how the changing nature of advertising brought about by television advantaged large brewers over smaller local ones, leading to a massive shift from local brewing of local beers to a consolidated national market dominated by a handful of firms. Using market-level data on television penetration, local breweries and brewery production from 1945–60, it is shown that increases in television penetration are associated with fewer local breweries and less local beer production. The results suggest ways that media markets and information technology can affect markets for local products.

By TOM WEIR
In an SOTL.com poll of more than 250 current and former NFL players nearly two-thirds say Thursday night games are a risk to the athletes' health and safety.
The impact of Thursday night games has never been greater than this season, with the NFL scheduling them for 14 weeks of the 17-week season, more than ever before.
Shortened recovery time that leaves players unable to heal from the previous Sunday's wear and tear is the primary complaint among the 63% of players who said the games are dangerous.
"Thursday night games are especially hard on more experienced players," said Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee John Hannah, who was a 9-time Pro Bowl selection for New England. "The older you get, the more time it takes to recover from games. Three days recovery is way too short a time."
Nesby Glasgow, a 14-year NFL veteran at defensive back for the Colts and Seahawks, said an added factor is the intensity of Thursday night games, when players know they have the national stage all to themselves.
"The physicality of the game and conditioning that takes place is for a seven-day cycle," said Glasgow. "You can always make a small adjustment and play on a Monday. Thursdays throw your body's recovering process out of whack. (Thursday) games are always played at a much higher level, therefore the risk of injury is heightened."
The team that so far has been affected most by a Thursday night game is perhaps the Baltimore Ravens. Their season-opener was on a Monday night, then they had two Sunday games followed by a Thursday game against Cleveland on Sept. 27. That's four games in 18 days.
"The simple fact is that anything that shortens the body's recovery time between games is going to make the players more susceptible to injury," said Hess Hempstead, an offensive lineman for the Detroit Lions in the '90s. "I'm sure there is a creative way to schedule these games where it doesn't happen regularly, but 3 1/2 days of rest between games is extreme. Normal rest is six days, plain and simple."
There were only eight Thursday night games in 2011. The Thursday contests have become a major vehicle for exposure for the league's NFL Network, which is the exclusive national television broadcaster, except for the Thanksgiving Day games. Some see the drive to increase NFL Network's revenue and ratings via Thursday games as being at odds with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's assurances that player safety is a top priority for the league.
"Thursday night games have everything to do with money," former Indianapolis running back Paul Shields said. "Players' safety is a joke to the league and the commissioner. The body needs more time to rest."
That sentiment was echoed by Emery Moorehead, a 12-year veteran who, along with son and former Colt Aaron Moorehead, is part of the only father-son combination to play in and win Super Bowls.
"The money for the owners has become bigger than the safety of the players," said Moorehead, who was on the Chicago Bears' 1985 championship team. "They just want it on television all of the time, and the health of the players is not a consideration."
Moorehead also believes the heavier scheduling of Thursday night games puts the NFL at risk of overexposure.
"I think it does," he said. "It used to mean something when you reserved a Sunday or a Monday for football. It used to be special. Now the game is on everywhere all the time."
Former Chicago Bears tackle Bernard Robinson questioned whether the league is being hypocritical as it levies substantial fines for rough play, yet has a schedule that might be causing just as much physical damage.
"This is done in the name of making the game safer," Robertson said of the headline-making fines. "However, shortening the week players need to heal from injuries -- and yes, concussions from the previous week -- is supposed to be not as harmful to a player's health. I just can't buy that reasoning."
Thursday night games became an NFL staple in 2006, and for two seasons they began in late November. Then, from 2008-11, they were moved up to the first or second week of November, and the grumbling about quick turnarounds increased.
"It is a very hard game to even game-plan for," said Corey Mays, who played linebacker for Cincinnati in a Thursday night loss at Pittsburgh in 2008. "You might have one day of practice and then if you are the traveling team there is even less recovery. It is truly about the money being generated. They know that you are not fully recovered, and I am surprised there aren't more pulled muscles due to fatigue."
The league does make an effort to limit travel for Thursday night teams in the previous week, usually scheduling them to have home games. This season, only four teams playing Thursday night games will be coming off road games from the previous Sunday. None of those four road games takes the traveling team out of its home time zone.
Steve Atwater, an eight-time Pro Bowl defensive back for Denver, said the Thursday night experience can be survived with the proper approach.
"Coaches can't practice too hard leading up to the Thursday night game," said Atwater. "The team has to be mature enough to get by with 'mental' reps, from film and study, and jog-throughs," as opposed to typically physical practices.
Former Cleveland defensive back Stacey Hairston also put the onus on the coaching staff.
"Coaches need to adjust their practice schedules accordingly," Hairston said. "Practice by itself can be a health risk, if you want to go that far."
And Hairston did point out one positive of playing on Thursday: "After that Thursday game they have 10 days before the next game to get fully rested up, and extra time to get healed up."
Michael Blazitz simple more games more injuries
James Jones NFL, just need to schedule it a little differently when it comes to Thursday night games, limited healing time and preparation in Thursday's games, and yes, they are susceptible to more injuries in a shorten week.
Jorge Diaz It would make sense to have the two teams coming off the bye to play the Thursday night game , since they will be well rested and limit the injuies players have in the short week . But then again it makes to much sense !!!!
Marq Cerqua I agree about the recovery time increasing as you get older! lol It takes me two weeks to recover, lol!!
Reggie Givens It's all about the NFL network and wanting to bring more viewers to it!! Thursday night should be for college football
Carey Davis Your body needs rest. There's a reason that football is the only sport that plays once a week. When you are playing 4 games in 17 days it doesn't give you the time that's needed to heal.
Courtney Brown This is a move by the owners for more coverage and more money. If people don't know by know the NFL is a big business. I agree with Robert's comments.
Chris Jones Really it dont make sense to have Thursday night games but it does give the fans something to look forward to during the week
Patrick Heenan I didn't just fall off the turnip truck! I agree with Mr.Lavette. I aleady voted to do away with thursday games for the future.
Robert LaVette The Thursday night games are interrupting the normal rest cycle needed for NFL players to avoid injuries from our sport, In the quest to take advantage of the most popular sport in the world a full season instead of a half season of Thursday games may hurt the league if top players continue to miss time because of injury. When it starts happening to quarterbacks then it will be given more scrutiny...

AAPG, European Region Join Hands for Athens
The Acropolis hill, the most important cultural site in Greece's famed city of Athens. This year's European Rgion Energy Conference and Exhibition -- the first joint venture between AAPG and the AAPG European Region --- will be held Nov. 17-20 in Athens, built on the theme "Challenge Our Myths."
On behalf of the Athens 2007 Organizing Committee we want to personally invite all AAPG members to join us for the unique occasion of this year's European Region Energy Conference and Exhibition -- the first joint venture between AAPG and the AAPG European Region.
The conference, built on the theme "Challenge Our Myths," will be held Nov. 17-20 in Athens, Greece, and it promises to be an inviting combination of excellent technical sessions from the Circum-Mediterranean -- and well beyond -- and uniquely Greek social activities.
Thanks to our sponsors -- including Chevron, ExxonMobil, Shell, TGS-NOPEC, PGS, Hellenic Petroleum, SAGEX and Concedo, all of which have given valuable, early support -- a fantastic exhibition is planned in the beautiful, white marble Megaron International Conference Centre in the heart of Athens.
Challenging Our Myths
Our theme "Challenge Our Myths" sets the stage for the technical program, and the session chairs and technical program committee, headed by Bjørn Wandås and Vlasta Dvorakova, are assembling a strong international program.
The theme not only reminds conference goers to question assumptions, it is an invitation to speakers and poster presenters to take risks and present challenging ideas.
For example, a session on "Untraditional Theories and Ideas in Global and Large Scale Geology" will examine the basis for the concept of subduction zones: What would be the consequences for exploration and production if this concept were just an established truth, just something we have taken for granted since we were taught at university? Could this concept be a myth?
This also is the right conference to attend for everyone seeking an update on recent exploration and production outcomes within key petroleum regions in the Mediterranean, North Africa, Middle East, Caspian, Black Sea, Russia, North Sea, Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea.
What about an update on carbonate and clastic reservoirs, structural geology, heavy oil, unconventional resources, resource estimation and the energy supply and demand picture?
Could we even manage to get geologists to mingle with professionals who specialize in CO2 management? Would something valuable come out of that?
Maybe we will move from political statements to practical solutions -- from myth to new understanding.
Spotlight on Students
Many cornerstones of our society can be traced back to Greek culture, and with this meeting new milestones will undoubtedly be added in the field of geoscience.
For that reason alone, Athens is the place to be for students and young professionals, as this meeting will bring together people from industry and academia, old and young.
With direction from Student Activities Chair Rudy Swennen, the conference will allow students to acquire the latest inspiring information on future trends in geoscience and give a forum to young researchers to present their findings to a broad audience.
Apart from a students reception, there will be several events conducive to establishing contacts with many experienced geoscience-industry professionals.
And certainly, attending this conference is a must if you are looking for challenging job opportunities; the industry is now recruiting and eager to sponsor students with fresh, new perspectives.
The Spirit of Zorba
Technical sessions are just a part of a meeting's lure; Greece's multi-dimensional history and culture, equally matched by multi-faceted social traditions and lifestyles, make it a place to enjoy.
Greeks love to eat, drink, dance and, in general, be merry as often and as intensely as they possibly can! It is no coincidence that in the famous book "Alexis Zorbas," written by Nikos Kazantzakis (and then the Hollywood film "Zorba the Greek"), when Zorba meets the English gentleman on a lovely sandy beach and tries to express his intense happiness, he says, "Sir, I may not be able to fully express my feelings in words, but I can certainly dance them for you!"
The Athens social program will include many diverse activities, all designed to expose modern Greece to our valued visitors and to invite all our friends to "become Greek" -- and even "Zorba" -- if only for a few days!
Join us in Athens and "feel" a different Greece from the one that casual tourists normally see. You can enjoy the classical sites and famous museums even as you sample the modern galleries and new high-tech settings.
Visit relaxing islands and interesting vineyards, sample local foods and taste exciting new wines. Walk through picturesque lanes around the Acropolis and enjoy shopping, playing golf and relaxing at a spa -- and then dance away your cares well into the late moonlit nights.
To help you, the Social Program Committee has organized several activities, including:
- Visits to classical and historical locations in and around Athens -- including the Acropolis and Agora -- as well as sites away from Athens including Cape Sounion and Delphi.
- Visits to archaeological and Byzantium museums, as well as art galleries such as the National Gallery and Vorres Gallery.
- Visits to high-tech locations at the Hellenic Centre, planetarium and Olympic Complex Centre.
- Day trips and excursions to nearby islands of Aigina and Spetses.
- Trips to vineyards and wineries in Attica.
- Food and wine tasting sessions.
- Street walks and exciting shopping sessions.
- A golf tournament and unique spa sessions.
- Dancing sessions.
So start making plans now to join us for the European Region Energy Conference and Exhibition, presented by AAPG and the AAPG European Region.
