The staff was very friendly and informative. Bed was comfortable. Internet was great! Breakfast was wonderful. Price was great! Seeing that our real purpose for being in London was to see London all day, my wife and I really couldn't have asked for more.

Rooms were very clean. On the high street of Putney, it was a good location. It is convenient to public transportation. Good breakfast, comfortable beds and our room was quiet.

Breakfast was good. Shower
Decor- very clinical and hostel like. Beds too hard, quilts not big enough or thick enough. Not enough pillows. Metal bar at bed head, very uncomfortable for watching TV while sitting on the bed. Poor design here, looks good but does not work!
Room really clean, smart and comfortable. good breakfast buffet was a pleasant surprise
Room a bit cold and a bit noisy - windows not great at keeping either outside.
This hotel delivers on all fronts. It was very well priced for a lovely area, near all the shops and transport links in London. It was well run, clean and efficient. Everything worked and the rooms were comfortable. They were small but I was paying a competitive price. I would definitely recommend it
Room was v good value for money. Staff helpful. Breakfast excellent for a budget hotel - genuine fresh fruit salad (not tinned) and good coffee. Room quiet & v clean. Wj Fi fast and didn't drop out (although it is a German server which caused some search problems with Google, but easily resolved). Plenty of eateries in area.
Overall v little to criticize, although there re no staff on site after 10pm. Could have done with some plain youghurt for breakfast (how nit-picky is that?)
Nice clean room and bathroom.
Very stark decoration! Draughty windows letting in the cold.
Good value for money, clean and very straightforward. In a location close to where we wished to be. Reasonably quiet. Would certainly book again if in that vicinity.
No issues
Location for our visit was perfect. The breakfast was the best i have had in an hotel of that type. Bed very comfortable especially with me having a back problem. .
My partner was not happy with there being no mirror behind the dressing table for her to use hair straightners . These need convenient sockets which were lacking. She commented room was designed by a man. On saying this we would certainly use hotel again.
Bed, Shower and free breakfast all excellent.
Reception was unmanned. Front door locked. Entry via a screen in the street wall was a nightmare to negotiate
The staff were great and the location was perfect for the venue we were attending in London. We enjoyed the breakfast and the room was functional and very clean.
The only downside was the mattress was too hard for my partner and there was only one pillow each.
The hotel staff were welcoming; the room was bright and clean and the breakfast was just right. The local buses and trains were ideally situated for journeys into London and Kingston. Will consider staying here again.
Road traffic and aircraft traffic noise - my home is in a rural area with neither road traffic nor aircraft noise. That said, 3 years ago I lived in London SW15!
Compact nature of hotel Tidy Friendly Staff Good Breakfast
Uncomfortable seating in the room. An extra pillow for the bed would have been nice.
A well located hotel. Very able and friendly staff who were always helpful. The hotel was perfect for our needs modern, clean and functional.
Rather than outstanding my overall thoughts would be adequate? and I think for facilities offered rather overpriced.
The touch screen heating control pad I found difficult to comprehend. Breakfast menu while selection fine, No choice of hot food,unless you count Toast. again no more than adequate.
Convenient location for the Congress I attended. Reliable Wi-Fi with no extra charge. Tea and Coffee free of charge in the room
No shutters or similar, only gray blinds which let the daylight to pass and wakes you up very early. An eye mask or a face mask is strongly recommended if you are not an "early bird" particularly in the summer time. No refrigerator in the room. Being in the hotel, you feel that you are in a sterile, tight, German environment
good location .clean and tidy . breakfast good . staff helpful .
Traffic noise at front of hotel. We asked to be moved to the back and this was done without any problems
Well stocked, Good continental breakfast with fresh veg, cheese, pastries. Great bed. Clean bathroom and room. Great shower. Room heating is very effective.
We were on the 2nd floor. Windows sounded like they couldn't shut tightly enough. Noise of traffic was very loud(loudest I have experienced). Kept us awake. Needed earplugs. Cold breeze from window.
1-Staff were excellent!! Very helpful and friendly (all three I talked with) 2-Ambience was nice; simple design helps you rest and sleep well. 3-Automated check-in hole-in-the-wall is pretty efficient. Makes up for the early-closing reception. Was able to 9accidentally) fool the system, though ;-) So you might want to pass this to your vendor. 4-Location is brilliant!
1-The room was slighttly cold as the insulation around the window was inefficient. A could feel a slight breeze coming in. 2-Air conditioner was noisy. 3-Breakfast coffee from a machine!! 4-No water served with breakfast 5-Very slow WiFi 6-Two beds instead of one double! 7-Reception closes early
Right from entering, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. It is simple but the room was clean in particular, the bathroom. The location was perfect for my friend and I (as we were visiting friends in Putney) and we weren't expecting much from the free breakfast but were pleasantly suprised, it was REALLY good! We are already planning to stay next year when we visit, great value for money.
The staff were very nice and helpful. I feel the hotel was an ikea hotel.. Very basic . I excepted better . The breakfast was cold food except for hot toast and some pastries.. The hotel Is on a very busy road the noise never stops .. There was no bath .. I requested a quiet room as I Needed to Study st night . This was not possible due to Noise .. The Internet was very slow .. The tv picture kept cutting and breaking up . No restaurant or bar or reception area where one could sit .. This cost 196.00 for two Nights . It was not good value for money . I won't stay here again in December when I'm Back again ..
See above
Reasonable price for London. Clean, good for a one night stay. Breakfast was included in the rate. Staff were helpful and pleasant.
Breakfast was a little disappointing (kept running out of food). No car parking. Fiddly check in process via a machine on the outside wall of the hotel.

Well, the last 12 days has been very interesting indeed. They sleep probably 3 hours at a time and feed consecutively (thank God!). I love them with all my heart. I can already tell they are different as night and day - Taylor is high maintenance, a very greedy eater (in an amazingly cute way - she snorts as she eats 3-4 oz at a time), and loves to be held. Avril is so laid back, snacks when she eats (1 oz every hour or so) and loves to be swaddled in the swing. I too fear giving one more attention over the other, but they don't seem to mind yet (I think all they care about is a clean diaper and a full belly). Bottom line, so far so good. I would like a little more sleep though (the most I've gotten at a time is ONE 6 hour session). The rest is like 3-4 hours at a time...
Oh well, they're soooooooooooooooooooo worth it. <3 My DH already said "let's have another one." I was ready to punch him in the face. HAHA.
Krista - I know you saw these on fb, but here is a pic of "sister time."
You're doing amazing Mama. I have to ask, how bottles do they go through in a day? And yes, I saw the pics and your babes are so cute my kids didn't look that cute when they were born! Congrats and I'm so glad you are adjusting well.

Competition for Dallas' top commercial real estate deals heats up in 2012
Klyde Warren Park, a project that took more than $110 million in private and public funds to build, opened in late October. The grand opening of the long-awaited park built over Woodall Rodgers Freeway was deemed a success by city officials and residents. The 5.2-acre park is projected to build an activity center that will bridge the gap between downtown and Uptown Dallas.
Why we care: Commercial real estate brokers project Klyde Warren Park will bring increased demand for nearby real estate and will create much-needed activity in the city center.
What it means: Klyde Warren Park is expected to generate enough money to support the park operations through sponsorship of park activities and donations. It has yet to play out, but park CEO Mark Banta says this is the future of parks.Michael Samples -
State Farm, KDC to start $1.5 billion Richardson project
We have known for some time that State Farm Insurance had bigger plans in Dallas-Fort Worth after the insurance company signed two of the largest leases, albeit short-term leases, in North Texas: 400,000 square feet in Irving and 291,000 square feet in Richardson. Now, we know a bit more. State Farm Insurance says it has signed onto the KDC recently announced, a $1.5 billion mixed-use development at the northeast area of North Central Expressway and President George Bush Turnpike. Even though State Farm Insurance and KDC are still negotiating, brokers expect it to be a large lease of upwards of one million square feet.
Why we care: If State Farm Insurance consolidates its North Texas offices into a large regional headquarters, it could mean a big boost to Richardson. This is the largest consolidation of office space this year, which is why everyone in the Dallas commercial real estate community is talking about it.
What it means: Dallas-based developer KDC says it will begin construction immediately after it closes on the land purchase at the end of the year. KDC is in negotiations with four potential tenants for 2.5 million square feet. -
The $185 million, 180,000-square-foot Perot Museum of Nature and Science opened on Dec. 1, and folks in the Dallas community hope it will remain a buzzing for years to come. The thought? This will bring folks from throughout North Texas to Dallas and create an educational destination for travelers.
Why we care: This gives Dallas another feather in its cap in creating a world-class destination for North Texans and travelers alike.
What it means: Along with giving folks a better understanding of math and science, the museum will play a major role in making North Texas more competitive in the world marketplace, officials say.Jake Dean -
Encana campus opens, sells to investment firm
This summer, Encana Oil & Gas (USA) Inc. moved into its 12-story, 318,600-square-foot regional headquarters off Legacy Circle in Plano. By November, Phoenix-based Cole Real Estate Investments purchased the oil and gas firm offices for $120 million because of its highly-desired office campus location in Legacy Business Park.
Why we care: This shows that the Legacy area of West Plano continues to be a strong office building market for investors.
What it means: Encana Oil & Gas has about 15 years on its lease. The company says it plans to build a company park on a vacant tract of neighboring land for its employees.Jake Dean -
Granite Properties to build $150 million office tower, hotel
In December, Plano-based Granite Properties announced it would build a $150 million speculative office building at its popular Granite Office Park property at the Dallas North Tollway and Sam Rayburn Tollway. The speculative office tower, Granite Park Four, a 300,000-square-foot building, will be near the 300-room Hilton Granite Park conference hotel.
Why we care: There is a lack of office space for tenants in the West Plano-Legacy submarket. This will give tenants more options in the submarket.
What it means: Granite Properties plans to break ground on the office tower next spring. Construction is scheduled to take 14 months. The hotel will share a similar project timeline.Submitted art -
Hall Financial Group to build speculative office building in Frisco
Developer Craig Hall plans to build his latest addition to Hall Office Park: an eight-story, 200,000-square-foot Class AA office building.
The 15-building, 162-acre office park has an occupancy rate of 98 percent. The speculative office building will take one of the two remaining development sites at Hall Office Park off the Dallas North Tollway in Frisco.
Why we care: Frisco has needed additional office space to compete for corporate relocations and expansions. The office building will help alleviate some of that need.
What it means: Hall Financial Group plans to begin construction next spring. Construction is slated to finish by April 2014.

Nebraska Furniture Mart breaks ground on $1.5 billion mixed-use project in The Colony
Nebraska Furniture Mart hosted a ground breaking at its 90-acre site for its 1.86 million-square-foot home furnishings store and distribution center in September. The retailer will anchor the 433-acre, $1.5 billion development and will be the catalyst for growth in the suburban city located off the Sam Rayburn Tollway.
This is the third store for the Berkshire Hathaway-owned company and is expected to bring $600 million in sales annually to the area.
Why we care: The project is an economic boon to North Texas and Nebraska Furniture Mart expects this to shake up the market.
What it means: Nebraska Furniture Mart is not in a hurry to develop its Texas project. In the meantime, expect more land to trade hands, such as plans for Top Golf to locate a facility near the Nebraska Furniture site.Steven Thompson -
The redevelopment of downtown Dallas
The redevelopment of downtown Dallas continued to take shape in 2012, with plans for the $100 million redevelopment of Patriot Tower and continued construction on the Tim Headington project off Main Street on the horizon. Some of those plans, like the adaptive reuse project of the Continental Building are scheduled to deliver early next year.
Why we care: The inner core of Dallas is important to the overall strength of the rest of the Dallas-Fort Worth market, urban planning sources say. Or, as John Crawford, CEO of Downtown Dallas Inc. likes to say: As downtown Dallas goes, goes the rest of North Texas.
What it means: Expect more projects in downtown Dallas as city officials seek to extend the City Center tax increment financing district.Jake Dean -
Frost Bank consolidates HQ, kicks off Harwood International 22-story office tower
Developer Gabriel Barbier-Mueller plans to begin development on a 136,000-square-foot, 22-story office tower in the Harwood District as a build-to-suit project for the Frost Bank Dallas headquarters. The new office tower will give Frost Bank the ability to consolidate its North Texas operations. The new tower was named Frost Tower.
Why we care: The Harwood International Class AA office tower project will likely compete for tenants seeking new space, but don't have the ability to kick off another office development. This is the initial phase of a three-phase plan to create Harwood Village, which will focus on apartment, retail and restaurant space.
What it means: Construction is scheduled to begin on Frost Tower in early summer, with an expected completion in 2014. Expect more tenants eyeing this tower as they shop for office space. -
Gables Residential to develop $125 million mixed-use development in Las Colinas
Atlanta-based developer Gables Residential received city approval in September for a mixed-use retail and residential project on a high-profile 14-acre site alongside Lake Carolyn in Las Colinas.
The project includes 300-350 apartments and 55,000 square feet of retail space. It is located across the street from Williams Square.
Why we care: The Water Street project will give the Las Colinas Urban Center a boost in activity. The development could be a catalyst for the area, city officials said.
What is next: Construction is scheduled early next year, with an expected completion in 2014.Submitted rendering

They make copper gaskets for flare fitting if it is just brass to brass, If you have a copper line that is flared with a flare nut, then you dont need one. A flare fitting is designed to seal on the surface, not the threads. Thats why the threads aren't tapered. The tape may have helped seal it, but if you want to fix the leak properly, use a copper gasket.
Teflon tape-- such useful stuff. Once a year swallow a lenght of it but dont' tear it off the roll till you've crapped out the end of it. Then grab firmly and move back and forth. Ah, yes--- the old disgestive system flossing. Your proctologist will thank you!
Jason 'Kornkob' Robinson I wanna move to Theory. Everything works in Theory.
ouch. that hurts just thinking about it. haha.
I don't know if its the same thing or not but the teflon tape I used for my propane fittings was yellow. It is labeled as gas rated teflon tape. Also, I can never remember, do you wind the tape against the thread or with it???
I use teflon tape on everything. Makes me feel like a plumber.
*******Check Out My Rolling KegeratorBierMuncher Tried & Trues: Tits-Up IIPA (3-Time Medalist), Black Pearl Porter, Kona Pale Ale, Outer Limits IPA, Centennial Blonde (4.0%), Nierra Sevada (SNPA), SWMBO Slayer Belgian Blonde,
in the direction of the twist. otherwise when you turn the fitting on, it will unwind the teflon. does that make sense? easy way i do it, is i turn my fitting as i would putting it in place, and apply the teflon tape as i do it.

Recent tours to Mt Lewis have been turning up some really
good birds. We usually manage to get most of the Wet Tropics Endemics and
sometimes all 12. (Or 13 if you wish to include the Spotted Catbird which is
also found further north on Cape York Peninsula.)
Spotted Catbird |
Tooth-billed Bowerbird |
We have also seen Superb and Wompoo Fruit-dove, Topknot
Pigeons and Barred Cuckoo-shrike. Up to 5 flocks of Chowchilla are usually
encountered along the length of the track. Both the Bridled and Lewin's
Honeyeaters are abundant and we have occasional sightings of the Eastern
Lewin's Honeyeater |
Victoria's Riflebird are also showing well. The hardest
of the endemics to find at the moment seem to be the Golden Bowerbird and the Pied Monarch.
Pied Monarch |
The recent rains have encouraged the fungi to grow and we
see some really fancy looking growths
Various Fungi photographed on Mt Lewis |
The Brush
Mistletoe, Amylotheca dictyophleba, and the Climbing Guinea Flower , Hibbertia scanders, are flowering at
present and add vivid splashes of colour to the usually green rainforest.

Once the musical group leaves I hear George Straits', "I Want to Dance With You" playing on someones ipod on the beach. That little band of street musicians got everyone in the mood, I guess.
Walking along the beach road I see ribbons and incense sticks around a tree. I have found out the ribbons and incense, and sometimes the drink and food, are left like this ...

... Jon, Jenika and I chose to venture out in search of a massage parlor that didn't immediately look like it was being run by prostitutes (which was actually pretty tough). On our journey over, Jenika stopped by a fruit cart operated by a guy who had given her free fruit the day before because she was a teacher.

So my guess is the first two crashed, nobody changed direction and that caused the other three to go into them. The slowing down ...

DAO w/o a doubt. Fable 2 was fun, but short. Fable 3, as I understand it is downright tedious because you have to do upkeep on your property and you need to go to each one whenever you do it so you can't just manage them all. Big hassle, among other things. The next Fable is an on-rails kinect pseudo-shooter where you you're driving on a wagon. I'm pretty sure they've lost it there. Granted, DA2 was considerably worse than DAO, and most are thankful they didn't ruin things by making a DA3 but DAO is several tiers above Fable 3 on the fun scale. They are different types of games though. Generally DAO is a tactics game, whereas Fable is an action/arcade style game. Last edited by compguy; 07-19-2012 at 04:31 AM..

Why slickdeals is awesome: I post a deal, it gets reposted 30 minutes later. I report the repost, and slickdeals warns me for "not doing my own work" when all the new poster did was post incomplete info and add links an hour after they blatantly stole my post. Obviously, this is the right way to encourage me to post more deals. |

2014 was a huge year for AC Slater, birthing the party turned house movement known as NIGHT BASS. Rising to the top of the "most talked about party" heap in Los Angeles, a sold out North American tour, and upcoming showcases at BPM festival and Holy Ship – the sky is the limit for AC and his bass house regime. Kicking off the new year, AC Slater and our very own BONES roll through Heat Ultra Lounge in Orange County for a special NIGHT BASS takeover of White Rabbit Group's new event EXPOSÉ. This event will hit capacity, so get tickets now and we'll see you at the show!
Tag Archives: ac slater
Anna Lunoe has had arguably one of the best breakout years amongst those in the electronic arena. Despite being a longtime tastemaker in the Australian music scene, her widespread success wasn't fully discovered until a massive 2014. Check out our feature on the first lady of house vibes after the jump!
As the OWSLA takeover of Boomrat continues, as do the dope playlists. Today's selection is "Best of Nest" compilation, bringing together a handful of the best releases on Skrillex's free imprint, Nest HQ. Not only do they procure releases from the best electronic acts around the world, they release it all for free. Without further ado, let the sounds of CRNKN, Worthy, Anna Lunoe, AC Slater and many more get you going.
After becoming the most talked about party in Los Angeles, AC Slater's NIGHT BASS movement set out on a 12 dates in 12 days tour with bass house heavyweights Jack Beats, Hannah Wants, Kry Wolf and the man himself. The tour was a success in every city they invaded, but something special was planned for its LA date this past Friday, October 10th. AC Slater teamed up with HARD to bring together one massive event in the warehouse district of downtown Los Angeles, where the infamous Lot 613 was set to play home to the festivities. With the help of Gary Richards and the HARD team, NIGHT BASS quickly became the hype of the weekend and sold out before the night even started.
Photos by El Jefe B Photography
Room 1 featured the tour lineup, along with NIGHT BASS residents BONES & Petey Clicks. They got things started quickly, as the room filled up and packed out within the first hour. The much anticipated Hannah Wants came after with a huge set, followed by the chief AC Slater bringing it heavy and Jack Beats keeping the energy so alive it was literally spilling out of the room. Capping off the night was a secret set from Kry Wolf, who let his jackin vibes speak for themselves as the night went into the early morning.
Along with the tour lineup, AC brought in friends to take care of room 2: Anna Lunoe, Treasure Fingers, Amtrac, Light Year and Jen Lasher to the rescue. Room 2 was equally slammed, a wider room layout but just as crazy as it's heavier neighbor. Only in LA can so many incredible artists happen to be in the same town on multiple tour schedules that culminate to one massive experience. The hype was so real that other big names in dance music couldn't stay away. The likes of Boys Noize, Nadastrom, Kaskade, GTA, Destructo, Jauz, Brazzabelle, and even Valentino Khan's mustache we're all in attendance.
The NIGHT BASS movement proved that it's hear to stay, and its home is in Los Angeles. The tour dominated its 12 show routing across the US, and looks forward to continuing its monthly series here in LA along with new tours and festival stages in the works… be on the lookout for live set recordings from the whole night and more info on upcoming events!

Another incredible vibe at Night Bass in August. Big thanks to GotSome for coming all the way from the UK, OWSLA young gun Wuki from Denver, and Salva and Kastle for joining AC Slater to close out the night… Listen to all the sets below and relive the night!
NIGHT BASS on:
Official Tour
The Future Bass movement has taken firm footing in AC Slater's Night Bass shenanigans, and for good reason, it thumps. Galloping bass lines accented by walloping bass synths permeate this playlist. Curated exclusively for the dawg's at Boomrat, it might be a choice decision to peruse before cruising to Night Bass tomorrow night (scattered in these selections are tracks from this weeks performers).
Listen HERE.
Virginia-bred and LA-based Petey Clicks has been on a tear since stepping out as a solo act. Signed to AC Slater's Party Like Us Records, Petey has been producing some bass nasty heat and continues to cross genre barriers like a BAWSE.
With "BAE", the title track for his forthcoming EP, we hear a fresh chord progression, accented with some playful vox – all bundled together to make one solid, summer-toned bass tuneage.
BAE is out August 12th on Party Like Us Records. Listen to it here.

• AC Slater and Party Like Us Records present Night Bass Fall 2014 North America Tour
• Solomun mix marks return of Global Underground's City series
• Mosca readies dubby new 12″ 'The Greyhounds' for his own Not So Much label
We were extremely excited to have DJ EZ at #NIGHTBASS to play his first USA gig ever, and he delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. The club was packed and the vibes were through the roof! He was joined by AC SLATER, Trouble & Bass queen STAR EYES, and a special B2B set from BONES & PETEY CLICKS.
The heat of summer is upon us and a plethora of new music has surfaced after the holiday weekend! Coming off a huge NIGHT BASS last Thursday night, we can't help but hunger for bass heavy garage craze that's sweeping DJ sets across the board. Thanks to the likes of Hannah Wants, AC Slater, and the dirtybird crew carrying the torch, we've discovered a gem of producers – such as Three Bar.
This EP has been rinsed around the globe as of late and its jacking energy can't help but get things escalated quickly. I first heard 'Movin' when Shift K3Y opened with it @ NIGHT BASS, and the place went nuts. Listen to the full EP below, and be on the lookout for its release next week (July 14) on Huxley's label Saints & Sonnets.

Title: | Patient factors associated with attrition from a patient self-management education programme |
Author: | Gucciardi, E.; DeMelo, M.; Offenheim, A.; Grace, Sherry L.; Stewart, Donna E. |
Abstract: | Objective To examine utilization patterns of diabetes self-management training (DSME)
and identify patient factors associated with attrition from these services at an ambulatory diabetes education centre (DEC). Methods A retrospective medical chart review of first time visits (536) to the centre between I August 2000 and 31 July 2001 was conducted for patients with type 2 diabetes. Descriptive analyses were conducted to examine utilization patterns over a I-year period. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify patient factors associated with attrition from DSME and non-use of group education among new patients. Results Almost 50% of new patients withdrew prematurely from recommended DSME services over the I-year period, and only 24.8% attended group education. Patient variables such as being older than 65 years of age, primarily speaking English, or working full or part-time were associated with attrition from DSME and non-use of group education when compared with middle aged, non-English-speaking, and non-working patients. Conclusions High DSME attrition rates indicate that retention needs to become a focus of programme policy, planning and evaluation to improve programme effectiveness. DSME tailored to the cultural and linguistic characteristics of the community, and convenient and accessible to working and older patients will potentially increase retention in and accessibility to these services. |

Starbucks sees big traffic, sales gains for holiday quarter by John Kell @FortuneMagazine January 22, 2015, 4:29 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Starbucks posted a huge 82% jump in quarterly profits Thursday as the coffee giant recorded a huge gain tied to a recent acquisition in Japan. Here are the most important points from the fiscal first-quarter earnings report. What you need to know: Though the profit growth was largely helped by the acquisition-related item (more on that in a minute), Starbucks also reported fairly solid sales at its stores. Same-store sales in the Americas climbed 5% while also gaining abroad from more customers. The growth was stronger than expected, analysts had expected a 4.8% in the Americas, according to a poll by Consensus Metrix. In China and Asia Pacific, same store sales increased 8%. That growth in customer traffic and sales are important as the results were for the key holiday season ending December 28. Starbucks SBUX has been lauded for a handful of savvy moves that has kept it trendy among food and beverage aficionados. The company pushing into the high-end coffee market, adding more food to its menu, and testing sodas and alcohol in some stores – all in a bid to move beyond its roots in basic coffee. Analysts mostly praise these moves, saying they see a clear path for Starbucks to continue growing revenue from existing stores. One notable blip, however, was the announcement earlier this month that Chief Operating Officer Troy Alstead, who previously served as CFO, was taking an unpaid leave of absence beginning in March. JPMorgan called that news a "surprise" to Wall Street, especially after Alstead played a high profile role in the company's analyst day presentation in December. The big number: The coffee company's profits were lifted by a $390.6 million gain related to the acquisition of Starbucks Japan that the company didn't already own. But even excluding that gain and other items, adjusted profit climbed 16% to 80 cents a share. That's right on the money with what Starbucks had predicted last year when it saw earnings between 79 cents to 81 cents. Total revenue exceeded expectations, climbing 13% to more than $4.8 billion. What you might have missed: Starbucks' outlook for the second quarter was a little lighter than expected, with adjusted profit between 64 cents to 65 cents a share versus the 68 cents that analysts expected. Starbucks also showed some promise from its early push into mobile payments. The coffee company said its shoppers loaded a record $1.6 billion on Starbucks cards during the quarter, a huge 17% jump from last year. That indicates that the company's investments in mobile have paid off, and it is showing up in sales. Transactions at comparable stores were up 2% for Starbucks-owned stores opened at least 13 months. That's an increase by nearly 9% in the U.S. from a year ago, and the growth is an acceleration from the prior quarter. Learn more of the latest news about Starbucks from Fortune's video team:
Coffee and 4 other surprisingly great investments of 2014 by John Kell @FortuneMagazine December 31, 2014, 5:20 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons It was another good year for investors. Some thought too good. The New York Times coined the term the "Everything Bubble." Hedge funder Paul Jones said the market was so good it had to be faked. Noble prize-winning economist Robert Shiller called stocks "very expensive." And yet all those warnings didn't talk investors out of the market. Equities wobbled in the late summer and early fall. But the market regained its footing quickly, leaving Jones, Shiller, and others to worry about the possibility of a bust for another year.
Keurig's too-hot coffee machines stung by recall by John Kell @FortuneMagazine December 23, 2014, 8:45 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Keurig Green Mountain has a problem: the coffee produced by more than 7 million of its brewing machines is a little too hot for java lovers. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission on Tuesday announced a recall of Keurig's Mini Plus Brewing Systems, citing concerns about water that can overheat during the brewing process, spraying out and burning consumers. Keurig GMCR has received about 200 reports of hot liquid escaping from the brewer, including 90 of those that said they suffered burn-related injuries. The company is recalling about 6.6 million units sold in the U.S. and 564,000 sold in Canada. For details about the units being recalled, see the CPSC report here. The recalled units were produced between the end of 2009 and July 2014 and were sold at a handful of national retailers, as well as online on Keurig's website. Keurig said consumers could contact the company for a free repair. A bulk of Keurig's sales are derived from the coffee portion packs it sells, not the brewing systems (though those devices are important to help maintain growth of the coffee sales). For the latest fiscal year, Keurig generated $822.3 million in sales from brewers and accessories, while the beverage packs had $3.6 billion in sales. For those with a long memory, the Keurig recall will remind many of decades-old headlines involving McDonald's MCD and a cup of scalding coffee. In that infamous 1992 case, a New Mexico woman was severely burned by a cup of coffee she ordered at a drive through window. A state court jury awarded the woman $2.7 million in punitive damages, though a judge later drastically cut that award. The woman, Stella Liebeck, and McDonald's reached an out-of-court settlement in 1994.
Caffeinating with Craft Coffee, the Internet coffee company by John Kell @FortuneMagazine December 16, 2014, 10:14 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons "I'm pretty confident we're the only true tech startup in coffee," says Michael Horn, founder and CEO of Craft Coffee. "People have tried to sell coffee on the Internet, but what we're doing is different." What Craft Coffee is doing is, in fact, selling coffee on the Internet. That's what it has done since 2010, when Horn started the site out of the General Assembly co-working space in New York. But over the summer, Craft Coffee participated in Y Combinator, the Silicon Valley accelerator. While living and working alongside tech startups in fields such as nuclear fusion and data science, Horn adopted a more tech-focused strategy. At Y Combinator's demo day in August, Horn unveiled The Coffee DNA Project. No longer a mere purveyor of coffee, Craft Coffee is now "Pandora for Coffee." Like the Internet radio company, Craft Coffee now uses an algorithm to determine which kinds of artisan coffee its customers might like. Unlike Pandora P , it will then sell customers that artisan coffee. To create its coffee recommendations, Craft Coffee has acquired a $10,000 industrial machine called an Agtron Coffee Roasting Analyzer. It was invented by "a literal mad scientist who knows everything about coffee," Horn says. Mass coffee producers use Agtron machines for quality control, since it can analyze the organic chemistry of ground coffee and assign it an integer. But Craft Coffee uses the Agtron to compare different coffees. "We can put Folgers in there and we know it's a '52' or whatever," Horn says. "That gives us the key number to be able to be a data science company." The Agtron machine sits on the counter in Craft Coffee's Williamsburg loft among three pour-over coffee makers and a handful of coffee pots. Nearby, an old clawfoot bathtub overflows with bags of store-brand coffee beans. Those beans, ranging from Folgers Classic to Starbucks Pike Place Roast, must be tested so that Craft Coffee has a jumping-off point for its recommendations. When you tell Craft Coffee that you like Folgers, the site can recommend an independently-roasted coffee with similar characteristics. All of the beans sold on Craft Coffee are strictly vetted by a team of blind-testing experts that are basically coffee sommeliers. And Horn himself, who says the job has made him a coffee expert. "We've never shipped a cup of coffee that I didn't like or think was special," he says. Horn touts the benefits of drinking artisanal coffee: It's roasted to order by a small independent, American roaster. If all goes as planned, upscale coffee could follow a path similar to that of the craft beer movement, which is quickly gaining widespread adoption. "You don't have to be like a hipster Brooklyn coffee shop person to have a decent cup of coffee in the morning," Horn says. Nevermind that we are in Williamsburg, the birthplace of Brooklyn hipsterdom. The movie theatre next door to Craft Coffee's loft sells $8 popcorn doused in truffle butter and citric salt. Craft Coffee's DNA project is meant to take the hipster element—and its intimidation factor—out of drinking fancy coffee. Anyone who has asked for iced coffee with milk at Blue Bottle understands the concept of "coffee-splaining." (The company's designer iced coffee is not meant to have milk; for that, one must order a sticky-sweet New Orleans Iced.) I've been coffee-splained a few times, and I prefer regular old deli coffee because it is hot and functional. But I will admit that the "comforting" cup of Bow & Arrows coffee one of Horn's associates brewed for me—chosen because of its "not too crazy" flavor profile—was quite delicious. One floor down, a Craft Coffee worker measures, bags and heat-seals coffee bean bags for shipping to customers. Today it's a one-man job (and yes, company was staffed entirely by men on the day I visited). Horn says Craft Coffee is able to ship "millions of dollars" worth of coffee from this small fulfillment center. He touted the "scrappy" nature of the operation, while noting that it is "just like Amazon," because it can stock every independent coffee. "No one—not even Starbucks—can stock that many coffees in its stores," he says. Craft Coffee hasn't announced any new venture funding since graduating from Y Combinator, but it previously raised seed funds from the likes of Reddit co-founder (and Y Combinator partner) Alexis Ohanian and 500 Startups founder Dave McClure. "There's never been a tech company in coffee that's had tech company funding," he says. (To be fair, Blue Bottle has raised $45.7 million in venture capital and is open about how it uses technology, but the company does not appear to be building a recommendation engine. Other gourmet coffee companies, such as Stumptown Coffee Roasters, La Colombe Torrefaction, and Joe, have also attracted tech investor interest.) At some point, likely after the holidays, Craft Coffee will raise more funding to scale up like a tech startup. Horn is at least thinking like a startup, grand vision and all. "What if one company could own the taste preferences on every coffee drinker in the country?" he asks. "We think it could be as revolutionary as Pandora for music."
Starbucks launching mobile ordering, will add beer, wine and snacks by John Kell @FortuneMagazine December 4, 2014, 12:45 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons By Lisa Baertlein Starbucks Corp, aiming to give cooling U.S. traffic a jolt, on Thursday announced it will add beer, wine, and evening snacks to thousands of domestic cafes, widen lunch offerings and roll out mobile ordering. Such efforts are part of the world's biggest coffee chain's plan to broaden its appeal as a destination with consumers who are spending more time shopping online rather than in malls and Main Street stores. The company, which is hosting its biennial investor meeting in Seattle, said it would lay out its five-year plans to double U.S. food revenue to over $4 billion by expanding food choices, particularly during lunch hours. Starbucks SBUX plans to reap about $1 billion in new sales from the addition of evening menus, including beer, wine and food, at nearly 3,000 of its 11,900 cafes in the United States. The company also will detail the launch of a new mobile ordering and payment system that it says will make getting a coffee fix even more convenient. That same technology will underpin deliveries in select U.S. markets next year. Additionally, in coming months, it will debut express stores, coffee trucks and upscale "reserve" shops, which will offer premium specialized coffee sourced from small farms. Starbucks' U.S.-dominated Americas unit had a traffic gain of 1 percent in the latest quarter, versus the 5 percent jump in the year-earlier period. An increase in sales of food, such as croissants and breakfast sandwiches, has helped offset slowing traffic in the last three quarters. Chief Executive Howard Schultz in January warned that a "seismic" shift to online shopping was taking a bite out of traffic to U.S. brick-and-mortar stores. That, executives said, contributed to a moderate slowdown in traffic in December 2013. Traffic softened earlier this year than last and the weakness is expected to continue through the holiday season, said Steven Barr, who leads PwC's U.S. retail and consumer practice. The chain, which has 21,000 shops worldwide serving 70 million customers weekly, forecast fiscal 2019 revenue of nearly $30 billion, up from $16 billion in the fiscal 2014 ended Sept. 28. Plans for the Asia-Pacific region include doubling its cafes in China to over 3,000 by 2019.
Starbucks launches the Chestnut Praline Latte, its new holiday drink by John Kell @FortuneMagazine November 12, 2014, 11:25 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Here's some good news for anyone who is now officially sick of pumpkin spice everything: Starbucks' latest seasonal latte flavor has hit the market and it's not pumpkin anything. The Chestnut Praline Latte is the coffee mega-chain's first new "holiday handcrafted beverage" in five years and Starbucks SBUX is hoping its latest flavor creation can prove as popular and profitable as the Pumpkin Spice Latte, which has spawned a cultish following to go with his abbreviated "PSL" nickname. Starbucks described the "CPL" (too soon?) as "a blend of fresh espresso and flavors of caramelized chestnuts, with freshly steamed milk, topped with whipped cream and spiced praline crumbs." The Pumpkin Spice Latte has proven so popular in recent years that Starbucks actually started selling it earlier this year to die-hard fans of the drink, which is typically a stalwart of the company's fall drinks schedule. The latte helped Starbucks' fourth-quarter same-store sales increase by 5%, though that number fell below analysts' expectations. And, while Starbucks has boasted about the Pumpkin Spice Latte's overwhelming social media presence, there has also been some concern that the drink — and the pumpkin spice flavor in general — has outworn its welcome. The Chestnut Praline Latte was in development for two years by the Starbucks Global Beverage Innovation team and now joins the likes of other Starbucks winter holiday drink flavors along with eggnog, gingerbread, and toffee nut. Starbucks sees the Chestnut Praline Latte as an opportunity to "add a new trend-forward flavor to U.S. markets," the company said in a recent press release. The new drink was tested in a few U.S. markets last year, but is being released widely this Wednesday.
Starbucks to offer delivery in 2015 in some key markets by John Kell @FortuneMagazine October 31, 2014, 10:23 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Starbucks SBUX next year will try out a new way to build customer loyalty: offering the option for delivery in some key U.S. markets through its mobile app. The Seattle-based café chain, which announced the pilot on Thursday as it reported disappointed revenue caused in part by weak traffic in the Americas, is now trying out new ways to get customers to come in more regularly. "Imagine the ability to create a standing order at Starbucks, delivered hot or iced to your desk daily. That's our version of e-commerce on steroids," CEO Howard Schultz told analysts on a conference call. "We are playing offense." The delivery option announcement follows a previous one in which the company said it planned to let customers across the U.S. place orders through their smart phones before heading to the Starbucks of their choice, in a move to speed up its sometimes slow service. Starbucks declined to give any details about the delivery service, but Matthew Ryan, Starbucks' global chief strategy officer said "We are moving ahead, full steam ahead." Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog praised the move in an analyst note, writing she was "encouraged" and believes it will generate incremental sales. These moves come as Starbucks is facing tougher competition from fast-food chains that sell specialty coffees. It has revamped its sandwiches, offered more packaged foods, and it plans to offer more upscale coffee. It introduced a new line of single-origin coffees so patrons who care can see where it is grown. Starbucks also plans to open 100 specialty Starbucks stores selling only its small-batch Reserve brand coffees. It also plans to introduce express stores in key U.S. cities.
Pumpkin Spice Lattes help lift Starbucks sales, but shares tumble by John Kell @FortuneMagazine October 30, 2014, 4:28 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons Starbucks has reported a 10% increase in fiscal fourth-quarter sales, a period when the coffee giant's results benefit from early demand for the popular Pumpkin Spice Latte. Here are the most important points from the earnings report. What you need to know: Same-store sales jumped 5% in the Americas region, below the 6.2% increase projected by Consensus Metrix. This is the quarter when Starbucks benefits from the launch of its top-selling seasonal beverage: the Pumpkin Spice Latte, affectionately known as PSL. The drink's popularity is so strong that Starbucks even began to sell it early this year for some select customers. But analysts continue to overestimate how well Starbucks is performing. This quarter was the seventh time out of the past nine quarters that overall sales weren't as strong as analysts had expected. Investors appeared to focus on the sales miss, sending shares SBUX down about 5% in after-hours trading. But sales are still rising, and Starbucks isn't just benefiting from the nation's love of the pumpkin-flavored concoction. The company has developed new beverage offerings and revamped its food menu in moves analysts say can help bolster store traffic throughout the day. Part of that efforts includes the expansion of the company's move to tackle the tea category with the Teavana brand, as well as moves to sell handcrafted sodas at thousands of stores and other newer initiatives like the testing of three flavors of Greek-yogurt smoothies. The company is also focusing on the high-end coffee market, with plans to sell rarer coffees it often sells for a limited time at 1,500 locations globally, as well as open at least 100 stores that would be designed to sell those rare coffees exclusively. Executives have said the coffee business is its core focus, and it will introduce new customized espresso beverages and cold coffee drinks to stay ahead of the competition. The big number: Starbucks overall sales leapt to $4.18 billion for the quarter ending September 28, while adjusted profit totaled 74 cents, up 23% from a year ago. Analysts surveyed by Bloomberg had projected $4.24 billion in sales and a 74-cent profit. Same-store sales at company-owned stores rose 5% across the entire company, falling short of the 5.9% Consensus Metrix estimate. Starbucks has now reported global same-store sales growth of 5% or more for 19 straight quarters. What you might have missed: The strength of Starbucks's results contrasts with the results of many well-known food and beverage and retail names. McDonald's MCD , Coca-Cola KO and PepsiCo PEP were all among the food and beverage companies facing challenges with customers. But the Starbucks brand is still resonating, and also winning in the coffee aisle. Key rival Dunkin' Donuts AKAM reported U.S. same-store sales grew just 2% in the latest quarter, and the company warned it would be hard to achieve the low-end target of growth between 2%-3% for the full year.
Life in the espresso lane: Starbucks launching 'Starbucks for Life' by John Kell @FortuneMagazine October 16, 2014, 4:58 PM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons For those addicted to Starbucks' coffee, the company's latest marketing ploy is a golden offer: a chance to get free "Starbucks for Life." Starbucks SBUX , which on Thursday announced several traffic-driving initiatives for the holiday season, said it was offering 100 uniquely designed Starbucks cards that would give customers a chance to get their daily cup of joe for free at the coffee giant's locations. Details in Starbucks' prepared statement were scarce, though a spokeswoman told Fortune that the promotion will begin in early December and customers will have the chance to win the promotion twice a day. The promotion is for one free beverage or food item every day for 30 years. Starbucks said customers can potentially win the "Starbucks for Life" cards by swiping their Starbucks store card or paying with their mobile device (an app that is also tied to those cards). Chief Executive Howard Schultz said the promotion is among a handful of initiatives Starbucks is planning to generate traffic to its stores, noting that many peers last year suffered from weak traffic as more shopping shifted to online channels. "Customers researched, compared prices, and then bought the brands and items they wanted online, frequently utilizing a mobile device to do so," Schultz said. With that in mind, Starbucks is adding some new benefits to its cards, including sneak previews of new products and promotions. Though retailers are struggling with troublesome declines in store traffic and same-store sales, Starbucks has largely bucked that downward trend. Comparable same-store sales leapt 6% globally in the latest quarter, the 18th consecutive quarter growth has exceeded 5%. In the U.S., comparable-store sales were up 7%.
Square just unveiled something coffee addicts have been dreaming about forever by John Kell @FortuneMagazine October 8, 2014, 10:45 AM EST E-mail Tweet Facebook Google Plus Linkedin Share icons This post is in partnership with Entrepreneur. The article below was originally published at Entrepreneur.com. By Kate Taylor, Entrepreneur.com Square wants to make getting coffee so easy that customers can enter a coffee shop, grab a piping hot latte ready for pick up, and then turn around and leave without stopping to pay. The mobile payments company is rolling out a new feature in its food-pickup app Order that aims to eliminate the hassles of getting coffee: standing in line, waiting for your order to be completed and paying. Essentially, the updated version allows customers to order coffee on their phones and show up at the coffee shop anytime in the next 24 hours, expecting their order to be ready and fresh. The key to this ease in ordering is "arrival prediction." The feature uses first-to-market tech to alert baristas when a customer who has ordered a drink on the app approaches the coffee shop, allowing them to immediately start preparing the order. Customers then simply pick up their order and are automatically charged as the leave the shop. Users can also save their coffee preferences and customizations, speeding up transactions on the app. Square has paired up with fellow San Francisco startup Blue Bottle Coffee to debut the new features. Launched in May, Square Order allows people to pre-order items for pickup at eateries that use the Square payments processing system. The service is only active in San Francisco and New York. Square, which was co-founded by Jim McKelvey and Twitter's Jack Dorsey in 2009, has recently been seeking to expand its presence in the food space: the company bought high-end food delivery startup Caviar for a reported $90 million in August. The company is also said to have recently raised $150 million in its latest financing round at a valuation of $6 billion, according to The New York Times.

Mine just came last night. I think the quality & compartmentalization is really great for $10! I have not tried packing my Wii U into it but I really like the looks. It's not terribly conspicuous, but also not too bland. It's just the right look, imo. It's smaller than I thought it would be, but the Wii U is a fairly small system so that makes sense.
It also came with two of those magnetic 2alarm spider locks inside it.... Not really sure if they were just taking those off and stuck em in there then forgot to take them out before the shipped it, or what? I just threw them away. |

They had their market research right that the lowest graphic console usually dominates because of economics. but the previous gen had HDTVs to push console sales because of all the HD craze. had Nintendo created the Wii to support HD signals with more processing/graphics, they would have had a lot of dev support with that huge userbase. |
I think 3rd party support will be a huge issue for Nintendo this console cycle because they didn't foresee their competitors choice to switch to x86 architecture. Developers can now quite easily port games between PS4, XBOX One, and PC due to their similarities in hardware. This isn't the case for Wii U, and the added difficulty of including support for the game pad is a huge turn off from a business perspective.
That being said, I am a huge Nintendo fan and I think the hardware is really amazing. The same goes for most of the games designed specifically for the system. There is real fun to be had if you're open minded and you don't fall into the trap of becoming a brand elitist. Investors and media outlets are quick to call the Wii U a failure, but I fully believe if Nintendo changes their marketing strategy and heavily incentivizes developers for designing software on their system it could be a moderate success. Ultimately I'd like to see Nintendo merge their handheld and home consoles into one division as they've always done quite well in the portable sector, and technology has gotten to the point to allow for hardware to be relatively powerful and portable at the same time. Also, transmitting data from a device to the TV has become painless. Add a few acquisitions of long term loyal third parties such as Sega and you have the makings of a Nintendo success story. Back on topic- I received my bag within one day of ordering it! Not bad for $10 and some change with free shipping. Overall the quality seems great with solid stitching, a thick exterior, padded interior compartments, and a nice thick strap. One of the inner zippers has a plastic pull instead of metal and the buckles are plastic as well, but for the price this thing is a real winner! I especially like how compact it is as it could almost pass for a large lunch bag. Last edited by Tshroom; 02-05-2014 at 05:15 PM.. Reason: grammar |
Hey guys.
I got mine yesterday but is wasn't till today that I decided to open the package. It came with an iPhone 5 case with a battery of some sort. I was checking the replies on this thread just to read comments about other users having the same "incident". Anybody? |
Also, the Wii U is far more powerful than PS360. But, just like any system, if you don't program to the hardware, it won't look that way. Wii U has an extremely powerful GPGPU and a pretty weak CPU. The PS360 had powerful CPUs. Devs who try to port code from PS360 to Wii U fairly unaltered will end up with a failed program. Alter the code to run on the GPU and it works amazingly. Some people just don't think. But hey -- if it results in slick deals, all the better! Last edited by bonkman; 02-08-2014 at 04:40 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost I slickdeals:

The real loser in the above situation is PC. PCs are so much more powerful than PS4/XBONE (and the gap will only grow in the coming years) and yet devs will almost certainly develop for console and port to PC.
Of course, the stupid people who believe Wii U is a complete failure also believe this is a sign that Nintendo is kicking it to the curb and will bring a new console to market. Apparently not realizing that Nintendo always starts developing the next console immediately after the current one releases (if not sooner). |

Golden Globes: Party Report! Inside scoop from all the after-ceremony festivities
David Sedaris' 'C.O.G.' trailer: From short story to big screen -- VIDEO
C.O.G., the first-ever movie adaptation from the brilliant essays of author David Sedaris, now has its first trailer.
Jonathan Groff (Glee) plays David, the character based on Sedaris, who decides to join the working class after graduating from Yale, moving to Oregon to work on an apple farm. Convinced he has life all figured out, he knows he will be a god among the small-town nobodies — but he is shocked to discover how backbreaking the work can be. What follows is a classic coming-of-age story, with a dash of Sedaris' dry wit and refusal to be anything but exactly who he is.
Based on a short story found in Naked, the author's anthology of autobiographical essays, the film also stars Troian Bellisario (Pretty Little Liars), Cory Stoll (House of Cards), and Casey Wilson (Happy Endings).
Sundance 2013: How 'C.O.G.'s young director finally convinced David Sedaris to go Hollywood -- EXCLUSIVE POSTER
Do you like apples? Do you like apples? Well, Kyle Patrick Alvarez convinced This American Life humorist David Sedaris to allow the 29-year-old filmmaker to adapt one of his essays. How you like them apples!
Hollywood had been knocking on Sedaris's door for years, and he'd always turned suitors away. But Alvarez, whose promising first film, Easier with Practice, was based on a 2006 GQ article by another public-radio raconteur Davy Rothbart, took a more personal approach: he went to a Sedaris book signing. "I waited in line with everyone for him to sign my book after he read," says Alvarez. "I tried not to be aggressive, but I gave him the a copy of my first film and said there were some things I'd like to talk to him about. I was incredibly anxious about it, but fortunately, he really liked the movie."
They began exchanging emails, with Sedaris asking Alvarez why he specifically wanted "C.O.G." — which stands for Child Of God — an essay from Naked, Sedaris's best-selling 1997 collection. "It's not like I went through every Sedaris story and tried to find the one to make into a movie," says the 29-year-old, who also wrote the screenplay. "I liked this story. Had he not written it, and it was another writer, I would still have been incredibly interested and tried to make it into a film. There's a coming-of-age aspect to it that I felt was really unique and particular."
Apples, it must be said, do play a major role, as the exclusive Sundance poster reveals below. Glee's Jonathan Groff stars as an incredibly naive and condescending recent college grad who runs smack into the real world for the first time when he ventures West to work on an Oregon apple farm. "He starts out as this judgmental guy who thinks everyone's going to be in awe of him, but then through the story learns how to appreciate people that he sees different than himself," says Alvarez. "To me, the process of being humbled is very interesting."
Click below for the exclusive C.O.G. poster and to learn about Alvarez's greatest worry when the movie debuts next week. READ FULL STORY

lkjh4321- then you are SO right to politely decline being a bridemaid, because, while a bridesmaid is not a source of slave labour, they are agreeing to more than just a sitting at the head table and getting blasted at the bachelorette party. Their job IS to help out with the planning and preparation of the wedding day.
2 years
Isn't it kind of rude to assume that your bridesmaids will help out with everything? I would hate to be a bridesmaid for a bride like this. Not only do you have to give her tons of gifts (shower, bachelorette, wedding), you are expected to pay for the dress, shoes, etc. Then on top of it you're supposed to be a free source of labour. An 'assembly-line party? Who are we kidding here? You can't just put 'party' at the end of words to trick people into making them sound fun.
I always feel bad, whenever a friend asks me to be her bridesmaid and I can tell she's going to have lots of projects, I have to say no. I just don't have that much money or time. And it also seems a bit rude to assume that others will do stuff for your for free just because you're friends. A few things maybe, but you can take advantage of your bridesmaids too.
