Hotel is ideally located. One to two minute walk to the caldera, restaurants and shops. Staff is amazing and very knowledgable of the island and acitivies. The owner/manager actually picked us up from the bus station and walked us to the hotel. Breakfast was generous. Pool was cleaned pretty much everyday. Hotel has a relaxed atmosphere that will surely clear your mind. Hotel also has a private terrace where guests can view the sunset away from the crowd. IMO – The terrace is a better place to view the sunset!

Ideal location, idyllic environment, very helpful and reliable staff, excellent service. Only 1-3 mins (!!) walking distance from everything (main street, shops, pick-up point, bus/taxi spot, sunset spot). Yet very calm and private, very well maintained in a beautiful spot with great views, a true Greek island experience both in terms of arrangement, as well as, hospitality. Do plan a couple of days extra for enjoying the hotel's sunset terrace, your room, its pool, your balcony, it is really worth it. Trust its people for everything, from fine dining to arranging your transport. I stayed with a friend and we loved it. Equally suggested for couples and families. Great value for your money. It made our stay in Santorini a wonderful experience. And I had already been in Santorini 3 times before.

Nice peaceful location
The Aethrio hotel is a nice peaceful location in the middle of busy Oia. The hotel is well kept, the staff is very helpful and the room we had was huge. The bathrooms could use an upgrade but overall it was a wonderful location for exploring the town and visiting the rest of the island.
Go on the volcanoe tour. It is a great day to see the crater of the volcano and to do a bit of hiking. Make sure you take water with you as even in June the top can be very hot. The hot springs are not very hot, but a lot of fun to swim in.

Great hotel…great service!
The owners of this wonderful "boutique style" hotel were warm and welcoming from the moment we stepped up to the reception desk. This was my first trip to Santorini, and I would definitely return to this hotel on subsequent visits. Oia is a beautiful city and Hotel Aethrio definitely added to a great trip. Thanks so much!!!

Posizione splendida, centralissima, nella zona pedonale di Oia, ma al contempo tranquillo e silenzioso. Personale perfetto: disponibile all'occorrenza, ma invisibile se non richiesto. Aliki/Alice ? francese, ma parla un buon inglese ed ? molto gentile.Piscina splendida e tranquilla. La stanza ? molto carina e fresca, angolo cottura fornito. Piccolo gioiello di albergo, ce ne siamo innamorati.

Vriendelijk onthaal (Frans koppel), mooi zwembad, goede ligging (heel rustig maar toch in het centrum), ontbijt inbegrepen. Een aanrader!
Het hotel ligt niet op de kraterrand, dus je hebt ook het prachtige uitzicht niet. Ze hebben een dakterras van waaruit je de zonsondergang wel kan zien.

Anche se non si tratta di un hotel posizionato direttamente sulla Caldera, l'Aethrio ? assolutamente perfetto. Ho viaggiato sola con mio figlio di 10 anni, e la posizione era magnifica: ? una specie di piccolo villaggio all'interno di Oia, immerso nel centro della zona pedonale, ma nel contempo tranquillissimo. Nella splendida e tranquilla piscina potrete anche sentire gli uccellini cinguettare, vento permettendo… La stanza, anche se un pochino pi? piccola delle stanze presentate nel sito, era carina, silenziosa, pulitissima e accogliente, con un angolo cottura fornito. Al nostro arrivo, ci ? stata fatta trovare una bottiglia di vino locale come benvenuto. Il personale, e soprattutto Aliki/Alice (? francese) ? molto sorridente e disponibile, ma invisibile se non richiesto: assolutamente perfetto. Aliki ha organizzato per noi lo shuttle in aeroporto all'arrivo, ci ? venuta a prendere nella piazza degli autobus… e per il check out, dopo aver lasciato la stanza, siamo restati in piscina per quanto abbiamo voluto. Una sera ci siamo preparati da mangiare e siamo saliti sulla terrazza dell'hotel ad ammirare il tramonto, mentre mangiavamo su uno dei tavolini… Essendo una specie di piccolo villaggio, gli altri ospiti ci sono, ma non li incontrerete molto spesso e avrete l'impressione di avere l'albergo, e soprattutto la piscina, tutta per voi. Grazie Aliki/Alice! Abbiamo girato altri 4 alberghi a Santorini, ma mio figlio si ? letteralmente innamorato dell'Aethrio, e credo che ci torneremo di sicuro!

We were lucky to book this hotel–right in the heart of Oia but still sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the main streets. Right around the corner from great food, amazing views, beautiful! But still peaceful and idyllic. The grounds and pool were well kept, the rooms were charming, and we're so glad we stayed here! It really made the Greek island experience for us. The staff was fantastic–warm, friendly and took care of our transportation, car rental, and boat tour reservations. This took the stress from planning, and we enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. We had a lovely time! If you're going to Santorini, this is highly recommended!

Aethrio was a slice of heaven! The double room we had was very large with a sofa and big cabinet/dresser. The bathroom was modern and clean. The hotel itself was splendid, atmospheric, and all the rooms appeared to have private balconies. The rooftop patio had fantastic views with sea on either side including view of the beautiful sunset of Santorini. The owner was very kind and helpful. Altogether this hotel is great value for money.
The hotel front desk closed by 8:30 p.m. which is just about the time you want to order a drink before catching the sunset. Otherwise we have no other complaints!

It was right in the middle of Oia town in Santorini, in a beautiful setting. Staff was very unintrusive and friendly. When you book via the internet, you cannot always see exactly what you are getting – but this holte was really great.

This hotel is nestled in quiet area but steps away from the bustle of the main streets. Our double bed room was spacious with a sofa and big closet/dresser. Bathroom was very clean and modern. The sunset view was fantastic at the rooftop terrace where you can see the sea on both sides of the island. The owner was friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was so relaxing which made a perfect holiday!

I liked that the hotel had a pool and a sunset terrace. They were able to change our hotel room after we were displeased with the first room they gave to us which was dark, unwelcoming and cave-like room. I like that they offered us a small bottle of wine on our welcome. They told us it was complimentary because we were on our honeymoon however every person we saw check in to the hotel received one too!

We had a wonderful stay at the Aethrio. Staff was tremendously helpful on all aspects of getting around the island. Location is perfect for staying in Oia. One minute walk to a bus to get all around the island, 3 minute walk to the center of Oia. Hotel itself is gorgeous, wonderful pool, beautiful layout/buildings on the complex. Breakfast was good, not great, but you can't go wrong at this hotel – would go back their in a heartbeat.

It is part of the history of Santorini. The hotel was a family compound last century. The staff were always helpful. I loved having fast internet in my room at no extra cost. The room was spacious and very clean and there was fresh fruit at breakfast every day. I would recommend this hotel very highly.

I chose this hotel based on the Tripadvisor reviews. So many hotels in Santorini got scathing reviews, that I was a little put off, until I found that everyone had good things to say about Aethrio. AND it was affordable.
I loved the hotel. If you're looking for something hanging off the side of the cliff, with a pool perched precariously over the ocean, this isn't the place. But it's only a 1 minute walk from all that! And that view can be seen from the roof deck. Plus, it's very easy to get to from where the cab will drop you off. Just a few meters walk, that's easily doable. The cliff hotels require ascending and descending a lot of steps, and navigation of the throngs of tourists. And it's hot. And windy. Believe me, I saw many frustrated and sweaty people trying to roll their luggage on cobblestones, and trying to get their luggage up and down those steps,
Forget all that. Stay at the Aethrio!!!
Much to my surprise I got an entire suite.(Suite #7). Admittedly, I did pay for an upgraded room, but I wasn't expecting all that square footage. The suite had cool marble floors, and simple design. There was a marble bathroom, a mini fridge, and a giant private terrace, with a view of the sea.
The pool was glorious!!!! Have a look at my photos. I was in heaven. I usually avoid the sun, but I couldn't resist this pool!
The staff were great. Breakfast was included. And there was a library of books in English, Greek, German, and French. So don't worry if you forget reading material.
I plan to stay here again. Many more times.

We stayed here and loved it. I was worried based on some of the other reviews but I am happy we chose the Aethrio.
Rooms were big, clean and nicely decorated in the simple Greek traditional style.
Bathrooms were clean and simple – the shower is a typical Greek shower but everthing works well. Plenty of towels, shampoo and a hairdryer are provided.
Breakfast was very good and the food was plentiful (and we traveled with a 12 year old eating machine of a boy). Coffee, tea, juice, yogurt, cereal, granola, fruit,breads/ rolls , hardbolled eggs, cold cut meats and cheeses everyday, We even had homemade spanikopitas one morning. Food never ran out even when we went down to breakfast at 10 of 10!!
Pool was clean, refreshing – chairs and umbrellas and loungers w/ cushions aroundthe pool. Pool towels are also provided. The plants all arounfthe outside of the hotel were beautiful and so well tended. we had family staying at other more expensive hotels with pools but the wanted to always come to swim and hangout at our place!!
The hotel is close to everything and still very private. The staff are wonderful and very helpful. I would recommend this to anyone.

Our stay in Aethrio was super relaxing and had everything we could have asked for and more. The room we received was HUGE, full of character and had a proper bathroom with a proper shower! I am not sure what the other people have been complaining about but this place was a real find. Despite 35+ degree heat, the high ceilings in our room helped keep the room cool and fresh, so didn't have to run the AC the entire time. We were also lucky enough to get our own roof top balcony to take in the sunset, without having to fight the crowds (complete with 4 cushioned wooden sun loungers!) The staff were friendly and unobtrusive and the pool was simply stunning. All together it was our favourite place to stay over the two weeks we spent hoping around the islands yet cost us significantly less than some of the other lemons we ran into.

Lovely hotel with great service, breakfast, sunset terrace and pool. We loved the location-Oia is very pretty and peaceful and seemed a lot less congested than Fira. There were doors from the breakfast room leading right into the town center which I thought was cool. I loved the style of the hotel-being what I thought was more traditional Greek island housing with the white walls and roofs and terracotta pots. The rooms were pretty basic and the bed a bit hard but we encountered hard beds in all 3 hotels we stayed in while in Greece. We had a little kitchenette with a stove, sink and mini fridge which we used to stock some beer, wine and water. The bus stop was close by and taxis were about 25 euros to the airport / ferry port. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Aethrio.

Amazing experience!
Beautiful, Beautiful, Beautiful! Staff was extremely courteous and friendly. We had a hard time finding the hotel and the owner met us where we were and walked us all the way to the hotel. Plus, it offers breathtaking views of both sides of the island. Hotel is extremely well maintained, and breakfast super yummy! This hotel is the perfect complement to your stay in Santorini…

We have just returned home to the San Francisco area after leaving your lovely place, we spent some time in Naplio, Olympia, Korinthos and Athens. Your place was the loviliest experience, from your lovely pool area and our room (and bed), to breakfast to your helpfulness and availability at the front desk all the time, to our own personal patio kitten which I still miss (we named her "Rainy", since it rained a bit on us). We will miss the Aethrio the most. Thank you so much for making our stay on Santorini so memorable!

We are just home from spending 2 weeks at Aethrio and loved every minute of it.
It is in an excellent location as others have said as it is only a minute walk from the bus stop and easy to find. It is so relaxing and quiet there that you would forget that the main village is only a few seconds walk away.
The breakfast every morning is a perfect start to the day with choices of different fresh breads, pastries, types of egg, cereals and juice, coffee and teas.
We stayed in a 2 person studio Rm 10 which was perfectly suited to our needs. I loved the huge shower
The pool was lovely and there were always enough sunbeds for everyone. A few days we were the only people at the pool so it was very relaxing and felt like it was our own private pool!
The layout and landscaping is beautiful and there's a very homey feel about the place.
Oia itself is incredible. Every corner you turn has another breathtaking view which you would never get fed up of looking at.
The staff are great, very friendly and helpful and made us feel at home from the moment we arrived.
We would recommend Aethrio to anyone and plan on booking in again for next summer as soon as flights are available!!

Ghost in the Shell Superbowl 51 TV Spot
Ahead of its premiere during Superbowl 51, Paramount Pictures has released the Superbowl movie TV commercial for Ghost in the Shell (2017). The commercial starts out with sex appeal, Major (Scarlett Johansson) in a skin tight latex suit, falling off of a building then crashing into the room of unsuspecting gangsters. What is great about this TV promo is that the viewer gets to see many of the minor characters in the film, including the Major's Section 9 team getting off of a helicopter and more scenes with the Major's creator Dr. Ouélet (Juliette Binoche). The back story of the film is also given some screen time at the end of the TV spot.
Ghost in the Shell's plot synopsis: based on the manga by Masamune Shirow and its anime adaptation by Mamoru Oshii, "'GHOST IN THE SHELL' follows the Major, a special ops, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 is faced with an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic's advancements in cyber technology."
Rupert Sanders' Ghost in the Shell also stars Takeshi Kitano, Pilou Asbæk, Michael Pitt, Rila Fukushima, Michael Wincott, Joseph Naufahu, Chris Obi, Chin Han, Peter Ferdinando, Kaori Momoi, Danusia Samal, Yutaka Izumihara, and Tawanda Manyimo.
Watch the Ghost in the Shell Super Bowl 51 TV Spot. Leave your thoughts on it below in the comments section. Readers seeking more movie TV commercials can visit our Movie TV Commercial Page. Ghost in the Shell will be released in U.S. theaters through Paramount Pictures on March 31, 2017. Want up-to-the-minute notifications?

Furniture for the lounge - BEFORE
This is the piece of furniture we have bought for the lounge. Although I do like the colour (Bluey green) and wallpaper inside (discontinued Laura Ashley), unfortunately it doesn't quite go with the rest of the room. . On these photos the paint looks more grey than bright bluey green, I can't seem to capture the colour!
So it will be getting a new makeover. I will be putting a different wallpaper in the background, perhaps slightly less busy looking as I will have a mixture of vintage decorative items in the foreground on the shelves. I need to play around with a few wallpapers before deciding which one will look best. I am still looking around for the perfect one, vintage ideally! I have something in mind in my head but am yet to find it....
Also saw this little shelf as I was leaving
this stool. They just had to come back with me too...
A lot painting to be done on Sunday, the stone wall that you can see behind the stool is going to be painted in an Ivory colour, the work room will also be getting some attention as it is nearing completion...Hooray at last!
Thank you to all of you who keep visiting my blog despite me not having been able to visit many of yours of late. I do read and appreciate all your comments and look forward to catching up with your blogs soon. There has been so much going on of late, one of the reasons I have not yet shared with you..but I will soon. ;-)
I wish you all a really good weekend!
A bientôt!

Hi Isabelle
I love that cupboard - it is going to look fabulous!
Have you thought of using wrapping paper for the backing instead of wallpaper? We've got a bureau with a display cabinet at the top and I use pretty wrapping papers behind the shelves - I tend to just stick them quite lightly so that I can change them whenever I feel like it. Works a treat and also a very cheap option!
Have a super weekend - your house is coming along wonderfully,

Gorgeous cupboard Isabelle, it is going to look brilliant. I rather like the paper inside but, as you say by the time you have dressed it with your lovely things, perhaps a tad too busy?
The stool and shelf are great buys too, I hope you have a really good weekend, you are so industrious, looking forwrad to the reveal of the finnished room!

How The Current Situation In Legal Education Came To Pass. Part III
This progressive blog sets forth the personal views of the Dean of the Massachusetts School of Law on national events. Occasionally, the responses to his views or other interesting articles are also posted.
The beginning of the story can be placed at approximately the turn of the 20th Century. The legal profession was in bad odor. Night law schools serving the immigrant poor were proliferating. Nativist and racial attitudes were, shall we say, not uncommon. Wanting to rid themselves and the profession of the competition from the night schools and the immigrant poor, academics who were in the ABA's Section of Legal Education (begun in 1893) created the Association of American Law Schools in 1900. More stringent standards and practices for legal education were likewise created. The men and the schools which led the cavalcade were academic in orientation, not practice oriented. And ultimately, in the first 50 or 60 years of the 20th Century, many or most of the schools which were serving the poor were driven out of business. A few -- I think it fair to say only a very few -- survived, in large part by adopting an academic orientation.
In 1923 there were two major developments. The position now known as the "Consultant" to the ABA on legal education was created. And the ABA's Section of Legal Education -- whose leading personnel were interchangeable with AALS personnel (they were usually one and the same), began to accredit law schools. The Consultant's position grew into the most powerful one in legal education by the 1980s, when his word, as veritable dictator, determined which law schools would live and which would die.
The process of running the nonconforming schools out of business went from strength to strength one might say, until it achieved the apogee of near (but never complete) success in roughly the 1970s. State supreme courts acceded to the ABA because, they have claimed, the ABA Section of Legal Education was supposedly a good accreditor; they could not themselves judge schools (and apparently did not want general accrediting bodies to judge law schools); the Section lobbied state judges extensively; and it made sure to honor state supreme court justices, especially chief justices, by putting them in high positions in its structure (and, of course, by paying their way to the fancier watering spots of the U.S. and the western world (e.g., Jackson Hole, Sarasota, London) where conferences and conventions were held.
Between 1923 and 1973 there were two other major developments. In 1952 the ABA persuaded HEW to approve it as the nationally recognized accrediting body for law schools. This imprimatur aided state court acceptance of ABA accreditation. And, of truly enormous importance when the federal government began guaranteeing and/or making student loans, HEW's imprimatur meant such loans would be available for legal education (even if a law school was "free standing" and thus not part of a university that was itself approved by an accrediting body recognized by the federal government). Loans ultimately became the method of financing law school tuition and, thus, law schools. So, much of what occurred that caused tuitions to be raised to today's astronomical levels is attributable to HEW's recognition of the ABA in 1952. As the Consultant wrote as far back as 1989, "The single most important factor in financing legal education has been, and continues to be, the availability of student loans."
The other major development in the period 1923-1973 was the rise of the Law School Admissions Council. The LSAC sponsors and has made scores of millions of dollars from the LSAT (which was created in the late 1940s). It also has run a crucially important loan program. The LSAC became the third controlling organization in legal education, along with the ABA Section of Legal Education and the AALS. They were called the Big Three of legal education. The LSAC's leaders were people who also were leaders of the other two organizations (the whole crowd played collective musical chairs) and it financed conferences and conventions at major and expensive vacation spots which legal educators (and judges) were delighted to visit.

A bad situation got even worse for the Chicago Bears on Sunday night when Brian Urlacher went down with an injured wrist. With a chance to take home a victory over division rival Green Bay Chicago's new All-Pro quarterback couldn't have gotten off to a worse start.

Now the Bears are looking at going into the final 15 games of the season without Urlacher once again and they've got a gun slinger of a quarterback who at least for now has shown that he likes to gamble on the field and can't pay his debts.

Here's a few I like: Yoast's SEO - it's very handy and helps with SEO, as well as leveraging Facebook's social graph stuff etc., NB: It isn't a "magic bullet" for SEO Feed Press - with the death of Feedburner it's a good replacement Main WP - if you're managing multiple Wordpress sites this will help preserve your sanity Wordfence - available in both free and paid versions.

When the newly-elected Governor of Tharaka Nithi took office, his first order of business was to fire all the county staff employed during the tenure of his predecessor. This must have sent shivers down the spines of hundreds of county government workers across the country as a number of other Governors indicated that they were determined to follow suit.
Fortunately, a majority of the Governors appear to have listened to wise counsel and refrained from what would have been a mass lay off of county staff hired by their predecessors and an almost instant replacement by supporters of the incumbent. There is, however, no telling whether this is merely a lull before the storm, hence the need to set the law straight.
While the public service has its own internal procedures and processes, there is clearly a misconception among some county officials that the Employment Act, 2007 only applies to the private sector. Nothing could be further from the truth.
The Act expressly states that it applies to all contracts of employment in Kenya and binds the Government (which, of course, includes county governments).
The only employment contracts excluded from the application of the Act are for persons employed in the armed forces, Kenya police, Prisons, National Youth Service and dependants employed in a family undertaking.
Public servants are therefore protected by the safeguards provided under the Employment Act concerning arbitrary and unfair termination.
The law prescribes various remedies for unfair termination including reinstatement or payment of a maximum of twelve months' salary. It should, however, be noted that the maximum remedy is rarely awarded except in extreme cases of aggravated unfairness and flagrant disregard of procedure. In deciding the appropriate award, courts would normally be guided by the length of the contractual notice, seniority of the employee and the probability of the employee getting alternative employment.
The law prescribes two minimum conditions for a lawful termination. Firstly, the employer must have a valid reason for the termination and, secondly, he must adopt a fair process in the termination.
Kenyan courts have ruled that the doctrine of 'termination at will' was abolished in Kenya following the enactment of the Employment Act in 2007. This means that while parties are free to enter into an employment contract at will, the employer cannot terminate it at will!
The reasons for termination must be given before and not after the termination has already taken place. The law does not require that the employee must accept the reasons given but if he disputes their validity, he may be able to challenge the termination on grounds of unfairness in which case the court will interrogate the validity of the reasons given. At any rate, it is unrealistic to expect an employee facing dismissal to accept the reason given, however plausible.
Procedural fairness as an element of lawful termination means that every termination must be preceded by a consultation process with the employee where the employee is informed of the impending termination, the reasons for it and his response considered objectively.
Parliament should probably have another look at the requirement for giving reasons as a pre-condition for termination of employment.
Granted that employment is not an ordinary commercial contract, the hallowed doctrine of freedom of contract should be respected. Parties enter into contracts freely and should be able to exit them in the same manner. This is the essence of having a termination clause which is found in every well drafted employment contract.
The requirement for giving reasons negates the purpose and value of this clause to the extent that an employer who terminates the contract in strict conformity with the termination clause may still be found liable for unfair termination. Oddly enough, no such liability attaches to the employee for exercising the same rights conferred by the clause. He can walk out at any time as soon as he finds a better-paying job irrespective of the inconvenience and financial loss to be suffered by the employer following the abrupt resignation of a key member of staff.
To the new Governors, it is worth remembering that county employees are not the personal staff of the Governor as such but the County Government, a juridical body corporate that continues to subsist regardless of any change in the occupant of the Governor's mansion. Unless such contracts were for a fixed five year term ending with the reign of the previous Governor, they remain in full force and effect and can only be terminated in accordance with the law and laid down procedures. They can, however, be converted into fixed term contracts but only with the written consent of the employee.

S.P.O.R.T.S. 2015 Kicks Off In Shreveport-Bossier City LA
The Sports Events industry's unique annual meeting know as "The Relationship Conference" kicked off a busy four day agenda on Monday, October 5th in Shreveport-Bossier City, Louisiana. Registration was underway all day long at the Shreveport Convention Center for S.P.O.R.T.S. 2015, as delegates from across North America gathered to make connections for their events and venue sites.
The conference is managed and hosted by Sports Events Media Group, publishers of SportsEvents Magazine.
The event's limited attendee capacity and intimate format have made it a popular annual conference for planners, sports groups seeking sites and tournament and sports tourism leaders. Open, free flowing sessions like "The Solution Room" and the "Town Hall Meeting" offer a give and take format among experienced industry peers. Among the most energetic and results-oriented sessions are a series of timed 15 minute one-on-one appointment periods. Four of these sessions -- lasting a total of two hours in length each -- are spread across the Tuesday and Wednesday conference agenda.
Group Publisher Talty O'Connor said, "Our formula for genuine relationship building starts with the necessity of having a manageable audience. We've closed registration and had a waiting list of attendees for the past four years. We maintain a ratio of about 2.5 destination/venue attendees to one event organizer. Next, we only schedule meaningful 15-minute appointments that must be pre-approved by both sides of the table. We also have intimate group sessions like town hall meetings where attendees share concerns, ideas and solutions with each other."
"Finally, S.P.O.R.T.S. attendees have fun together. They enjoy entertaining events that are designed to pair event owners and destination executives together with fun shared experiences that they talk and laugh about for years to come. In October 2015, S.P.O.R.T.S. The Relationship Conference will exceed expectations."
"Last year we had more than 7,000 pre-arranged 15-minute appointments," said O'Connor. "We'll exceed that this year."

There is hardly anything fiction written about the Great War, much less the prejudice against the Amish then. I thank the author for taking this subject on. My uncle was German American and died on D Day in WWII. Think prejudice against the Germans may have been strong then too.ReplyDelete
I've never read a book about the Amanas. This one sounds very interesting! I'm loving the cover, too!ReplyDelete
I took German in college, so for years after that I said, "Ja". I still do sometimes. I only took a semester of it, so unfortunately I don't remember much at all. :(
Carol, you're so right. And in the book, the characters are third generation Americans, but that doesn't matter. Human nature is an amazing thing! I'll add your name to the draw.ReplyDelete
Bluerose, I found the whole Amana culture completely fascinating. Even did some research on it after I finished the book. Fascinating. Good luck with the draw!

Loonie Bouncing as Bank of Canada MaintainsSteve Kanaval Follow |
The Loonie is getting a nice pop back above .68 cents versus the $Dollar as the BOC maintains it's benchmark interest rate at .05%. The Bank said the risks to inflation are "roughly balanced", and the "current state of monetary policy is appropriate". Most analysts believe 4Q GDP likely stalled, to delay closing of output gap. The BOC cut GDP forecast to 1.4% from 2%.
As markets swoon and oil continues it downward spiral the Loonie is the bright spot along with positive earnings from Goldman Sachs. The markets are as volatile as we have seen them in many years as 2016 takes perilous turns.
Clearly then action by the Canadian bank to hold on rates makes traders wonder if the same will apply to the US Federal Reserve plan to raise rates in 2016.

I'm Dagny Evans. I'm a mother of 2, wife of Carson Evans, Managing Director at Digital Ambit, and DC woman in tech.
When I'm not chasing my girls in and out of hockey rinks or soccer fields, I'm reading a good book or cooking a tasty meal. I've posted some of the books that interest me on my Reading List page and I've got some of my recipes up at Dinner by Dagny. Be careful though as they are guaranteed make you hungry. I also spend a lot of time at the dojo, keeping myself in shape and working on my black belt kempo skills. We believe that life is an adventure so we might be off to explore, challenge or excite ourselves at any given moment.
I recently joined my husband to grow our consulting company and prepare for our future. Our girls are only 6 years away from being out of high school. Who knows where the wind will take us then. While he's focusing on the current contracts, I've been out meeting all sorts of new people at networking events ranging from lean startup and DC tech meetups to Community Business Partnership breakfasts. While the content of some is better than others, I've met really interesting people willing to share. I also get to read interesting business books and figure out how to put that in practice.
I have had the pleasure of spending my entire career in DC, watching the start up tech community grow and thrive. This ecosystem has allowed me to be on the forefront of technology like e-commerce and data analytics. I have also been an active contributor to growing multiple businesses to their separate exits. Each diverse industry and role has taught me something about business, and about myself. Throughout all this, I've kept up with my Women in Technology (WIT) membership and am a currently the Volunteer Director for Women in Technology Education Foundation. The former allows me to network with amazing women in or affiliated with tech and the latter provides a forum where I can influence the dire statistics of women in tech.

Happy Friday everyone! I am delighted to announce that I've been chosen to be one of May's guest designers by some awesome ladies over at The Friday Mashup! I'm elated to get to work along side this wonderfully talented group.
Our challenge this week calls for you to use the sketch or use a retiring/retired/forgotten set....or do the mashup and combine both!
I used my {Flamingo Lingo} which I've loved since the first day I laid eyes on it way back last year! This fun set just begs to be colored up in brights. I also used a retired punch, Build a Blossom, to make the leaves on the palm tree. I cut little notches out of each leaf to form the palms.
The other fun element to this card is that it's a shaker. These are just a blast to make and so fun to receive!
Flamingo Lingo was the set that Stampin' Up had chosen last year as the Ronald McDonald House donation set. What a wonderful thing....you get to buy cool, fun products and do a good deed at the same time. As much as I'm going to miss this flamingo set, I did get a sneak peek at the new catalog today and the new Ronald McDonald House set. Wow, is it ever cute! It's got loads of versatility and It's definitely going straight to the top of my wish list! I can't wait to get my hands on it and share projects with you! It makes me giddy with excitement just thinking about it!
Thanks again to the gals over at The Friday Mashup for letting my hang out for the month!
Thanks for taking a peek!

I tried to start it a few times while the iPod was plugged into the stereo via the headphone out. It had been working before that.. then a little while later I tried to turn it on and got nothing. When I plug it into the computer the little charge icon doesn't even show up. Did I fry the logic board? I'm not too worried.. my aunt is gonna buy me a 5G for Christmas.

Well, one semester has passed. Thank God I survived!
To be honest, it was a pretty hard one. But I really enjoyed being at METU!
Y U No Amphi?
Weird, isn't it?
Well, it is said that thanks to the former Dean of Education, the school did not bother to build amphitheaters for the faculty.
So much for facilities.
Being a university student is being a juggler: One has to balance his/her social and college life carefully. However, in my opinion, being a college student is fun, even though it has its share of obstacles and surprises!
Social Life
Being new at METU, it took time for me to know my friends. Once I did, all hell broke loose!
I'm happy to have them as classmates and friends. Hope our bonds become much tighter!
In high school, I may have been a good student. In college, I might still be a good student, but I'm getting CCs and even a FF!
It's okay for me. It's just the first semester. But I'm very happy during my classes.
I vowed to do something if I ever get a grade of BA or above in Educational Sciences. Well, it's the time for me to do it!
I'm thankful to God for it.
French is a very good language. Unfortunately, I did not survive it; surviving seemed to be a miracle for me!
New page…
METU meant for me a new page in my life, to be honest. I thank God for giving me the chance to be a part of this institution.
University life>High school life.
Many people would disagree. I accept that. More on that soon.
I think that's all for now. Most probably, I'll write more about my thoughts in the future!
To end this one, I'll share a proverb:
"STEP by STEP, ONE can go FORWARD!"

It was a great concert. They played a great set-list - a good mix of newer stuff, plus a few old classics. Thom Yorke and the rest of the band were really on form, and seemed super happy to be there. Thom danced!
The set design was also impressive, actually, and probably one of the best concert setups I've ever seen. The lighting and backdrop changed with every song, displaying colours and patterns and graphics that seemed designed to fit the 'vibe' of the music. They also had twelve screens suspended above the band, which were moved around, integrating with and complementing the visuals. Overall, the setup really fit the style and sound of the band. It was awesome!
Below are some very dodgy camera-phone pictures, in which I am subtly bragging about how excellent my seat was. (Seriously, second row in the section right behind general admission. Amazing!)
|They used a great range of colours; red, blue, indigo,
pink, Matrix-green and black, with great patterns and
occasionally blinding strobes.
|All those white blogs are screens; each was displaying
a close-up of Thom Yorke's face. (There was a camera
set up right near his microphone.)

Government and People
Budget issues
The Association of the Oldest Inhabitants of The District of Columbia
William Brown
Vice- president
Fire Dept. Liaison
Board of Directors
Jan A K Evans
June 21, 2003
The Honorable Anthony Williams, Mayor
Dear Mayor Williams:
At its monthly meeting yesterday, the Association of the Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia - the City's oldest civic organization - voted unanimously to request that you not adopt the proposed change to the City's official flag.
The AOI fully supports the city and its residents in the quest for congressional voting representation and believes there is an important opportunity here to make the city's situation known to visitors and tourists. Our late, immediate Past-president Dr. Phillip Ogilvie recommended that the City Council pass alternative legislation requiring a banner stating, "Taxation Without Representation is Tyranny" be displayed along with the District of Columbia flag until voting representation is achieved.
The membership of the AOI fully supports Dr. Ogilvie and the position he stated before the City Council on June 14, 2002. This flag is the oldest symbol for the District of Columbia, even though it was not formally adopted as the flag until 1938. Its association with the District can be traced back to the original plans for the City as the "Seat of [the Federal] Government as early as 1792.
The AOI continues to support those efforts and initiatives which serve to promote and preserve the heritage that is our Nation's Capital. Seeking the re-opening of major roadways, re-establishing a place of prominence for the statue of Alexander Shepherd, supporting voting representation and working for a vibrant resurgence of the City are among AOI's goals. We are now adding to our goals the preservation of our city's official flag.
The Association of the Oldest Inhabitants of the District of Columbia - the District's oldest civic organization - was established on December 7,1865, to preserve memories and matters of historic interest By virtue of our long presence and participation in the city's prosperity and improvement -- to work and strive for the city's stability, security and advancement -- to aid in every way the prosperity and well-being of the District while preserving the heritage of its past.

Kitchen Counter Top - Cambria Quartz
I think it's safe to say that I'm not going with the marble for the kitchen. Although it is the look I want, I'm not prepared for the maintenance (or the worry). The decision has been easy thanks to helpful e-mails from you, showing me your counters .... I'm seeing that I can get the look of carerra with other materials like Quartz, or Granite.
Which brings me to the photos above. I ordered a 12x12 sample of the Cambria Quartz Torquay on the weekend, and just a few days later it was on my doorstep. It cost me around $50 to get this sample to my door but it was totally worth it - Between juggling Oscar, my business, and, well - having a life - I decided to just get the biggest sample that they had, and see it in our house. I really, really like it. So this counter is in the running - the only concern I have is that it falls slightly on the modern side. Some other counter styles are being shipped to me by other manufacturers so I'll show you those when they arrive. xo Linds

I say all of this because these shirt designs seem to be created by individuals who were thinking hard and designing to their potential. They may not be the most intricate of designs, but some of the concepts are just amazing! After all, designing is way more about concept than it is production. I'll refer to a cherished quote:
"Think 8 hours, work 2."
This is probably my favorite design of the bunch. I just can't imagine the looks I would get wearing this around all day. Confusing? Yes! The shirt was designed for a FedEx campaign, making the wearer appear to be holding a FedEx package on their side.
I will admit that it took me a second to realize what this shirt was, which makes it all the better. Although, the only way the shirt would work is if you had back hair, it's still an amazing concept! This was for marketing hair growth products in Singapore. What better way to show that your product grows hair than to actually make you hair appear to be longer?
The invisible t-shirt! How cool! I understand this because I use Photoshop and other design programs. If you don't know what this is, the checker board means that that part of your design is transparent. I will say one thing. The image of the eraser on this shirt is not what it looks like in Photoshop. It could look like that in other secondary (not as good) programs though. Sorry, I'm just nitpicking now.
Are you at all grossed out by this? I am! But, look on the bright side. With this shirt, you won't even have to take your shirt off during a shirts and skins game of basketball, assuming you're on the skins side.
A marketing plan to promoting the change of Music Connection re-branding into Marshall Music. I think the micorphone and headphones are the better of the three because the guitar looks quite awkward without a neck. Either way, I'd buy one. Any takers?
No more worrying about carrying your roller blades or shades around. You have them on your shirt! A nice illusion. I think the Ray-Ban shades would trick some people a little more than the roller blades. I mean who carries their roller blades around with them? Better yet, who roller blades anymore?!

Lights, bonfires, fireworks and candles: All are used throughout the world to celebrate a great range of holidays.
As the book moves through the year, a child introduces himself or herself and then provides information on such celebrations as Chinese New Year; St. Joseph's Day in Valencia, Spain, when Las Fallas is celebrated with the burning of large puppets; Nowruz, a pre-Islamic New Year festival in Iran when people jump over bonfires to bring good luck in the coming year; and Inti Raymi, the Peruvian sun festival. The spread for July brings together Independence Day celebrations from several countries, including Canada, the United States, Argentina, the Bahamas, France and Belgium. Although light is mentioned in some of these short descriptions, it's not necessarily a focal point. The information provided about the holidays is accurate but limited, and there are no sources, maps or related activities. The acrylic and ink illustrations are garishly intense, and although digital techniques are also used, they have an unattractively retro look. The red circles on many people's cheeks are a very artificial device.
This book will be useful as a starting point for teachers, librarians and students who want to search out some interesting festivals to compare and contrast, but it's not as enlightening as it could be. (glossary) (Nonfiction. 8-10)

According to so many religions, certain acts mandate the death sentence. Certainly, many of the rules are simply outmoded, and for one reason or another, are comical and ridiculous to consider enforcing. Some have taken on a more appropriate punishment, or simply moved down to being things which are criticized. For obvious reasons, this is good – nobody wants to be put to death for being held in contempt of court – though it would be kind of hilarious to see Karl Rove put to death for being in contempt of Congress.
Last night, as the majority of the world now knows, Troy Davis was executed by the state of Georgia, his official time of death recorded as 11:08 PM. I admit, I'm not a hero of justice, I wasn't fighting for his freedom or anything, and I really wasn't aware of the case until about two months ago, if that. I'm not saying people didn't fight hard enough, or that I was the only one who cared – no, if nobody else fought or cared enough, I'd never have known about this, my world would have been no different today than yesterday.
In 1991, Troy was convicted of, and sentenced to death for, the murder of an off duty police officer, Mark MacPhail, working as a security guard who was attempting to help a homeless man being assaulted in a parking lot.
Troy was convicted, based in large part, on circumstantial evidence and witness testimony, including that of Sylvester "Redd" Coles, later himself implicated in the crime. Due to a string of mishandling of the case, evidence, and witnesses by the defense, both in the original trial and subsequent appeals and evidentiary hearings, as well as the aggression of the prosecutors, and the blood thirsty MacPhail family, no substantial case was put together to clear Davis, or at least commute his sentence to life in prison.
I do not claim to know whether or not Troy Davis was guilty or innocent. The most important fact here is that we do not KNOW. Enough holes were in the original case, or later exposed that the case by definition must be considered to have at least a serious doubt, serious enough that the death penalty cannot in fairness be applied here. Unfortunately, for Troy Davis, at least, the debate is now academic. Hopefully, he will at least be given a fair trial in his afterlife.
As a generality, I personally believe in the death penalty. Some crimes are simply too heinous, such as rape, child molestation, and murder, and the perpetrators of these crimes do not deserve the life they have been given, and in some cases, maintain after committing the crime. That said, the burden of proof in a capital case must by definition be 100%. There can be no doubt, as a life cannot be returned once taken. A life sentence without the possibility of parole serves the same purpose, and it always leaves room for a conviction to be overturned later.
In a different case, the death sentence is almost not enough, certainly not in a manner which we can feel a true sense of justice. Just hours before Troy Davis was executed, justice was truly served, even if in a state in which the death penalty should be abolished for the sake of the poor and innocent who may be the wrong color or class. Last night, Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed in perhaps one of the most well known and revolting hate crimes of the last century.
Brewer and two of his friends, John William King and Shawn Berry, chained a black man, James Byrd, Jr. to the back of their pickup truck, and dragged him to death, spreading his remains across nearly three miles.
My point is, I support the death penalty. A deterrent it is not, but I know that I could be brought some peace if someone close to me were murdered, and the guilty party would have to face their imminent death. While there is still room for error, however, I cannot support the death penalty. A mistake like that cannot be reversed.

Historically Black Colleges and Universities: Recent Trends
Gasman, Marybeth, Baez, Benjamin, Drezner, Noah D., Sedgwick, Katherine V., et al., Academe
The report that follows, prepared by a subcommittee of the Association's Commitee on Historically Black Institutions and Scholars of Color, was approved in November 2006 by the committee for publication.
The nation's historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) are diverse. Although we discuss them as a category based on their historical racial makeup, these institutions are in fact quite different from one another. According to the government's definition, black colleges are bound together by the fact that they were established prior to 1964 (the year of the Civil Rights Act) with the express purpose of educating African Americans. These institutions, of which there are 103, are public, private, large, small, religious, nonsectarian, selective, and open-enrolling. They educate 300,000 students and employ over 14,000 faculty members.1 Some black colleges are thriving, others are barely making ends meet, and many fall in between. Regardless, most of them are providing a much-needed education to African American students (and many others).
In January 1995, the AAUP's Committee L on Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Faculty of Color (since renamed the Committee on Historically Black Institutions and Scholars of Color) published a report about the state of HBCUs in Academe entitled "A Future in the Balance." Our 2006 report highlights developments at HBCUs since 1995. We have included an overview of the U.S. Supreme Court's recent decision in the Fordice case, an analysis of shared governance and academic freedom issues, and a review of accreditation concerns. We conclude by examining the recent influx of white students on black college campuses-an influx that may result from the desegregation provisions of Fordice, the low tuition at these schools, their well-regarded academic programs, or the convenient locations of many of them.
Fordice: A Final Decision
In 1992, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down a decision in the long-litigated case United States v. Kirk Fordice, first filed in 1975 by African American James Ayers on behalf of his son. a student at Jackson State University in Mississippi. Its ruling required states to eliminate policies that perpetuated segregation among their public colleges. As part of that decision, the court returned the case to the federal district court (whose earlier decision, declaring that Mississippi had fulfilled its obligations of desegregation, was overturned by the Supreme Court) to determine specific remedies for the ongoing inequities in that state.
In 1995, the federal district court issued a ruling intended to remove overt racial classifications from the state's eight public universities. Steps to be taken included standardizing the admissions requirements across all eight schools (prior to this, the five historically white institutions had stricter standards than the three historically black universities) and enacting policies to ensure a certain minimum racial diversity at each of the universities. The plaintiffs and the U.S. Department of Justice appealed this ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In 1997, the Fifth Circuit ordered the federal court judge to reconsider parts of his 1995 ruling but upheld the new admissions standards. This decision was then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in 1998 refused without comment to hear the case. In 2001, after months of negotiations, all parties agreed to a $503 million settlement. The federal court approved the settlement in 2002. Later that year, some of the plaintiffs appealed the settlement in federal court, arguing that it did not go far enough to remedy the effects of segregation. When this appeal was denied, the plaintiffs appealed to the Fifth Circuit, which in late January 2004 issued its rejection of all counts of the appeal. In May 2004, the case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which in October refused, without comment, to hear the case, thus ending the thirty-year legal battle and rendering the 2002 settlement legally binding. …

An Interview with Dana DavisMatt Richenthal at . Comments
Afterwards, TV Guide caught up with the actress that portrays Monica Dawson and asked her about that cool WWE move...
TVGuide.com: After the tomato-carving and wrestling move, what else might we see her do soon?
Davis: Everything! Monica is so badass. It's cool to think of superpowers, like invisibility and mind-reading, but if you really think about it, God has blessed human beings with some serious gifts and abilities. Most of us "normal" human beings will never be able to slam like Michael Jordan or run like Carl Lewis, so imagine a human who can do it all. How exciting!
The sky is the limit with Monica. Lots of fans are wondering if she'll watch any martial-arts movies, and the answer is yep! She'll be doing lots of martial arts and even a little parkour action, to give just a few hints.
TVGuide.com: Was having Lt. Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) as your "grandmother" icing on the cake?
Davis: It was more icing on top of icing. I remember punching Greg Beaman, one of our producers, when he told me the news: "Shut up! No way!" I was so excited to work with her. Huge Fan. Everybody is.
TVGuide.com: How long will Monica be in New Orleans? Stuck there for a bit?
Davis: Stuck there for a bit, for now. Monica is making her mark in the city and bringing back lots of hope to a community very much in need. But don't worry, the writers have this awesome way of taking all these storylines and bringing them together. Just like they did in Season 1.
TVGuide.com: But might she still cross paths with original Heroes besides Micah?
Davis: Monica does run up with Sendhil Ramamurthy's Mohinder and Ali Larter's Niki — not to give away too much — so she's not alone down there in the Big Easy. And like I said, the Heroes always find a way to unite somehow. It'll be fun to see how it all plays out.
Let's just hope Monica stays clear of Dania [Ramirez]'s character, Maya. But Monica's pretty upbeat — I'm sure she can keep her happy. She'd better! Please nobody make that girl cry!
