The modern parenting techniques screwing kids up
Members on Reddit are naming and shaming the modern parenting practices messing up a generation. Daniel Strudwick investigates the most common responses and asks: What common parenting technique do you think screws kids up?
This column originally appeared on news.com.au. By Daniel Strudwick.
If you suck at adulthood, it must be pretty tempting to blame your parents.
Even though they probably nurtured you lovingly through childhood, picked you up after every fall and hesitantly let you go into the big, bad adult world, they must've done something to screw you up, right?
That's what reddit reckons. In one of the site's most popular threads at the moment, redditors are naming and shaming the modern parenting practices messing up a generation.
Any of these sound familiar?
What common parenting technique do you think screws kids up?
1 - "Making threats without following through." – DextersLittleHelper
2 - "Counting backwards from five means nothing if you get to one without consequences." – DextersLittleHelper
3 - "Blindly defending their actions before even considering that Little Johnny may have, just this once, been a little brat when mum wasn't watching." – kernunnos77
4 - "Helicopter parenting. How do you expect your kid to thrive in the real world if you make all the decisions for him or her?" – zackhankins74
5 - "Praising a child's intelligence is counterproductive and ultimately makes them dumber. However, praising the process of problem solving makes a child smarter." – -moose-
6 - "Not paying enough attention to the kids, or only paying attention to them when they are doing something wrong. Catching kids being bad is important so you can correct them. But if they are not causing too much trouble, it can often be better to let them make their mistakes so they learn from them. What is even more important than catching them being bad is to catch them being good. If they get attention and positive reinforcement whenever they are doing right, they learn to do good all the time." – ThereisnoTruth
7 - "Giving them whatever they want." – MrsJohnnyButt
8 - "Protecting kids from learning about safe sex. My mum still holds her hand over my eyes when people kiss in a movie. I'm 17." – christiansi1
9 - "Don't criticise your daughter's appearance. And even more importantly, don't spend a lot of time criticising the appearance of yourself and others. My mum comments on the appearance of everyone: herself, people on TV, people on the street, me. Even if she's saying something good about the appearance of others, it's still putting a lot of attention on appearance in general. It's very dangerous." – EveryoneElseIsWrong
10 - "Encourage them to try new things and fail at them. I grew up in a house of all-or-none; you either did something better than anyone else, or you didn't do it at all. If I wasn't the best as what I was doing, my dad would tell me it was useless and I should leave it to someone who could do it. This led to me being scared to try anything new. I lived, for a very long time, in a world of black or white. It prevented me learning new things and finding new things that I loved. It insulated me so much that I ended up only finding comfort and security in a bottle of whiskey. I'm committed to always encouraging my kids to try new things. And fail at them. And then try them again. Or try something else. And I will never, ever answer their questions about the world by telling them to shut up or that it doesn't matter. We google just about everything, and it's a great feeling to learn something new right alongside them. I want my kids to be better and smarter and everything-er than I ever was. Sucking at something is the first step to being sort of good at something." – Stickley Man

By John W. Barry, The Poughkeepsie (N.Y.) Journal
BETHEL, N.Y. Nearly 40 years to the day that he christened the crowning achievement of the 1960s counterculture, Richie Havens returned to an open field in Sullivan County to sing about a primal human condition, the pursuit of which binds us all.
"Freedom," Havens bellowed from the top of the hill upon which hundreds of thousands descended in August 1969 for the Woodstock Music & Art Fair.
"Freedom," he repeated.
At about noon Friday, Havens reprised the song he famously performed as the opening act at Woodstock on Aug. 15, 1969. This time, a light, warm breeze blew softly and the sun was hot, a stark contrast to the rain and mud that enveloped concertgoers four decades ago.
His performance took place at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts and kicked off a weekend of 40th anniversary festivities. The center sits on the site of the original festival.
The celebration continues Saturday with the sold-out Heroes of Woodstock concert, featuring a roster of bands with Woodstock veterans: the Levon Helm Band, Jefferson Starship, Ten Years After, Canned Heat, Mountain, Tom Constanten, Country Joe McDonald and others.
Havens performed again Friday night at a sold-out concert inside the Bethel Woods Events Gallery. He took the stage shortly after 8 p.m. to a standing ovation from a capacity crowd made up primarily of Baby Boomers.
"My generation was a very, very special generation," Havens told the crowd. "There is a reason, and the reason is, because we had the best-looking generation. We look good … still."
The crowd erupted into laughter and Havens launched into one of his signature songs, a cover of Bob Dylan's All Along the Watchtower.
Earlier in the day, he spoke of arriving at Woodstock in 1969. Seeing the massive crowd, Havens said, he thought to himself, "we made it."
The afternoon private event was attended by about 150, including Sam Yasgur, whose father, Max, owned the land upon which Woodstock was held, and Elliott Landy, the Woodstock resident and photographer who covered Woodstock and shot the cover for Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline album.
Fans come from all over
At about 2:30 p.m., Chip Beers of Dingman Township, Penn., was one in a crowd of about two dozen milling about around the famous monument.
Beers could have gone to Woodstock, as his 15-year-old sister had bought him a coming home gift, a ticket to the concert, to be presented upon his return from a nine-month tour of duty with the U.S. Marines in Vietnam. But he was in St. Albans Navy Hospital on Long Island and his other sister took the ticket.
"And it bummed me out," Beers said. "It really did."
Beers said, "I only joined the Marines because I knew I was going to get drafted and two of my friends were going. If I could have avoided it, I probably would have. I wasn't big on war, but I wasn't big on going to Canada."
Beers said he and his fellow soldiers listened to recordings made by many of the bands that played Woodstock, including Janis Joplin and Creedence Clearwater Revival.
When asked why he traveled to the site on the eve of the 40th anniversary of Woodstock, Beers said, "I felt like I had to come. I don't know. Maybe ghosts...When I came back, I went through bad times. It took me about 10 years to get my head straightened out."
Jim Schmidt of Atlanta, Ga., who attended Woodstock, drove to Bethel with his son Brian just to be at the site on the anniversary.
"I just felt like I needed to," he said, as the pair sat near the monument. "It was a point in time that was so incredible. It was almost like a rennaisance point coming to a head. Things changed dramatically after that. Just to come up here and relive those memories again is just a wonderful thing."
Schmidt was living in Miami when a friend with a Volkswagen bus showed up and told him about a music festival in upstate New York — and off they went.
Asked about what he remembered from Woodstock, Schmidt said, with a smile, "the rains, the music. We were just dirty and smelly, but you didn't seem to mind. You didn't seem to mind at all. It was a trip, a place to be, and I'd do it all over again."
Elliot Teitelbaum of Long Island also drove to Bethel, just to be on the site for the anniversary.
"I had to come, because the memories are incredible," he said. "I came up just to be here."
Teitelbaum said Aug. 1969 was part of "a lazy, hazy summer," and he grew up by Rockaway Beach, in Queens.
"I remember the rain and losing my shirt in the mud," he said. "and running out of food."

Then I actually read the description (or more accurately scrolled through the pictures) and figured out it's a cookbook shelf/knife holder/cutting board multi-tool and that's when I realized it's more useful than me. It does three things. I merely do two — write and toot. Wait a second, I eat and sleep, too. Four things!! I do four things!! Eat my ass, Kitchen Bull.

New HYT Ambassador
No-one can achieve the impossible... but talent gives free rein to ambition. This could be Antoine Griezmann's motto. Before being appointed an HYT ambassador the French forward, who plays for Atlético Madrid and also for the French National Team, was already a personal customer since 2012. "The first time I saw an HYT, in 2012, I thought to myself, this team has really done something out of the ordinary," reveals Antoine Griezmann. "The fluid time display always reminds me of an energy gauge, like the one I have to manage every day as a sportsman."

Aiden McGeady ruled out of Republic of Ireland World Cup qualifiers
Aiden McGeady is out of the Republic of Ireland's World Cup qualifying double-header with a knee injury.
Last Updated: 16/03/13 7:51pm
The Spartak Moscow winger has been ruled out of the matches against Sweden and Austria because of a knee problem.
McGeady was named in boss Giovanni Trapattoni's provisional 29-man squad but was a notable absentee when the Italian trimmed his list to 23 players.
The Football Association of Ireland confirmed injuries had forced the withdrawals of McGeady, Hull defender Paul McShane and Norwich winger Anthony Pilkington.
The Republic face Sweden in Stockholm next Friday, before taking on Austria in Dublin four days later.
McGeady missed Spartak's Russian Premier League clash on Saturday, with McShane (ankle) and Pilkington (hamstring) also sidelined.
Meanwhile, Trapattoni has relegated West Ham full-back Joey O'Brien, Reading centre-back Alex Pearce and Wolves pair Stephen Ward and Kevin Doyle to standby duty.
But Millwall striker Andy Keogh, who was not in the original squad, has received a call-up.
Trapattoni said: "As a manager, I am sometimes faced with some very tough decisions, but I feel that the squad I have chosen will get us the results we need from these two qualifiers.
"I have not made these choices lightly and will continue to monitor each player's progress ahead of our next challenges in May and June."

They intervened where the duel between the coast artillery and the battleships was most intense.
A battery of coast artillery consists of two or more guns or two or more pits of mortars.
Ive asked the forts to send me two battalions of coast artillery organized for the field.
coast artillery affords the most magnificent team-sport in the world.
coast artillery is charged with the care and use of land and coast fortifications, including submarine mines and torpedo defenses.
Inf., three-year troops, another name for the coast artillery.
As soon as they appeared, Bill headed his plane out over the coast artillery radio station.
coast artillery mans the guns and submarine mines of our coast fortifications, and is not a mobile force.
The organization is interesting because it ultimately became the 3d Regiment, and finally was consolidated in the coast artillery.
The consolidation of 1878 welded all these elements into a single, compact, unified body, the coast artillery of today.

State ends year with small surplus
07/23/09 5:50PM By Ross Sneyd
(Host) Vermont state government actually ended its fiscal year with a small budget surplus.
Administration Secretary Neale Lunderville says when he closed the 2009 budget, there was still $14 million on hand.
But he says that's not an indication that Vermont's financial problems are over.
(Lunderville) "Although we ended the fiscal year 2009 with a little more revenue than expected it shouldn't be taken as an indication that the economy is turning around. It's really a unique situation bought on primarily because of a one-time estate tax settlement that happened earlier in the year. Other than that, our economists are still saying we haven't yet bottomed out."
(Host) About half of the surplus will be put toward this year's budget. State law requires the rest to be transferred to other funds, including college scholarships.
The state also ended the budget year with just about what it was expecting to collect in the transportation and education funds.
Lunderville says revenue projections were revised downward six times for last year's budget and there's no indication that the new budget year will be any better.
(Lunderville)"While there are some bright spots, they're few and far between and we probably haven't quite reached the bottom, although we might be close and when we do it's going to be a long, slow recovery back up. That's one of the reasons we need to make sure we balance the budget and make sure we do so in a sustainable way."
(Host) Just last week, officials reduced their projection for what the state will collect in taxes and fees this budget year by $28 million.

Smoky Meat Loaf with Prune Ketchup
As a teenager, Grant Achatz perfected his meat loaf–making technique at his parents' restaurant. But he had the most memorable version of his life only about 10 years ago, when he was visiting a girlfriend in Lansing, Michigan, and ordered smoked meat loaf. It inspired the pistachio-studded recipe here, which combines beautifully seasoned meat with the smoky Spanish paprika, smoked salt and ground bacon.
Slideshow: More Comfort Food Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 8 to 10
- 1 tablespoon celery seeds
- 1 tablespoon fennel seeds
- 1 tablespoon black peppercorns
- 1 star anise pod, broken
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup minced onion
- 1/4 cup minced fennel bulb
- 1 small celery rib, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tablespoons sweet pimentón de la Vera (smoked Spanish paprika)
- 1 pound sliced bacon, coarsely chopped
- 3 pounds ground beef chuck
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 cup fresh pumpernickel bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup shelled unsalted pistachios
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt or smoked sea salt
- Prune Ketchup, for serving
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 350°. In a spice grinder, combine the celery seeds, fennel seeds, peppercorns and star anise and grind to a powder.
In a large skillet, heat the oil. Add the onion, minced fennel, celery, garlic, pimentón and the ground spices and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften, about 8 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
In a food processor, pulse the bacon until finely ground. In a large bowl, mix the bacon with the ground beef. Mix in the eggs and maple syrup followed by the vegetable mixture, bread crumbs, pistachios and salt.
Pat the meat mixture into two 9-by-4-inch loaves and set them on opposite sides of a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 1 hour, or until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center of each loaf registers 160°. Let rest for 10 minutes. Cut the meat loaf into thick slices and serve with the Prune Ketchup.
Make Ahead
The baked meat loaf can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Smoked sea salt is available at specialty food stores and at SaltWorks.
Suggested Pairing
To complement this smoky, peppery, earthy meat loaf, look for a full-bodied Valpolicella from Italy's northeastern Veneto region that will echo the flavors of the dish.

Kanye West Game: Rapper Is Center of 'Kanye Zone' Computer Game
One of Kanye West's most memorable lyrics from his 'Watch the Throne' LP are those that make up the lauded track, 'N—-s in Paris.' "Don't let me get in my zone," the Chi-town MC raps on the Jay-Z-assisted song. Those words uttered by West have inspired a new computer game called 'Kanye Zone.'
The game finds home at KanyeZone.com, where users must prevent the rapper from getting into "his zone." The "zone" here is a lavender-colored circle. If West, who is represented solely by his head, hits the spot, the user is eliminated. However, there's opportunities to score fake cash when West bumps into a blue circle, preventing him from hitting the zone spot.
Game fanatics won't be impressed by its design — the graphics are simple as can be — but the thrill in keeping Kanye West from hitting the hot spot is enough to spend hours killing time playing it.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
location, hotel is very close to all public transportation the front desk staff was not very friendly
The hotel was very central and good for local transport. Breakfast in the hotel was very good and did not resteict you to a short time window.
The location is brilliant.Direct airport buses just in front of hotel,metro a stones throw away and tour buses right in front.Breakfast was very good with lots of choices.Dinner buffet vegetarian options were quite limited.Overall excellent choice.Would certainly stay again. Do not use the phones to make local calls very exorbitant rates.Some of the hotel staff could be more pleasant.We booked a Fado night out and had to pay cash...they didnt accept cards.
Overall accomodation very good, centrally located and great from airport Loved It
Very nice staff. Good location of the hotel. Very good breakfest.
Very central, tour bus starts from outside front door, convenient for public transport, good underground parking (8 euros per day) good value for money, good breakfast.
The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The location of the hotel was perfect- close to shopping, restaurants and others. It's too bad we left early for our flight. We didn't have breakfast before we left for the airport. Too early.
Location. Breakfast was poor. Breakfast room overcrowded with organized tour bus groups; only one coffee machine to serve the entire crowd. Cold scrambled eggs. Lukewarm water for tea. We had previously stayed at one of your other hotels (the Sana Reno) which was much more pleasant.
Location: very close to explore the city and also to reach airport Not as clean as all 4 stars....A little bit cold in the rooms, as air conditioning was not functioning.
breakfast the staff wasn't very friendly or helpfull
Good room, nice pool, good staff. Pool staff Sarah, and Raphael in the lobby were particularly helpful and pleasant and knowledgeable. No problems, an overall great stay. Didn't sleep well on our last night due to noise from party of 200 business conference guests. An observation though; Pool staff are understandably not allowed to wear sunglasses, but it is glaringly hot and bright on the roof. Suggestion: offer them the use of a sun visor (health and safety/ humanitarian reasons.
meets all requirements of 5stars hotel. good price.
gd value for money
Consierge service, breakfast Once the room wasn't cleaned and no one seemed to be responsible
Location was a little out of the "hub" or activity; But only a short taxi ride away. Metro also only a 3 min walk from hotel.
Driver to and from the airport, Diego, was one of the friendliest and helpful and knowledgeable people I met on my 2 week European vacation. The hotel was beautiful and staff from front desk to doorman to room service and spa were outstanding. I forgot my swimsuit and couldn't use the spa relaxing pool area!
The staff in the reception are very helpful. Modern, new and clean, the free of charge computer on the 1st floor of the hotel is super. For the price I pay through Booking.com, it is an excellent buy. Close to metro and railway station are very convenient. cannot think of anything for the time being.
Firendly service, good food
clean and tidy with helpful staff the menu at the resturant
I Enjoy stay in the Corinthia Hotel Lisbon
Loved the location (safe area)
The hotel was excellent. Having never been in the country before my group relied heavily on the advice of the staff for recommendations on places to go. The door man outside was the most helpful of all, he gave excellent recommendations on restaurants and nightclubs to visit. However the onsite facilities were great as well. There is a very nice lounge area on the bottom floor and because of this my group did not see a need to pay for the exclusive lounge on the top floor. There really was nothing to not like about this hotel. The price was a little on the high side but I have spent up to $500 a night in other hotels that were not nearly as nice. The staff is very friendly and helpful, they check on you in your room several times throughout the morning to late afternoon. If you want to keep your visits from the staff to a minimum use the do not disturb sign. There visits are out of good intentions though, like refreshing the mini bar, fresh towels every morning, free bottled water, cleaning etc.
The hotel has a really nice swimming pool. The rooms are really comfortable and the food was a very resonable price. The location of the hotel isn't great although the metro is only a minutes walk away.
Helpful staff, Breakfast was quite good. Room was small but not so bad for 1
The rooms were big and cosy! Extremely worth the price! Near the metro, near the city centre, hotel totally worth its 4 stars and the price is so cheap! Nothing at all!
The location. The Family room where we stayed had pull down beds that you can feel the bed springs on your back. One thin pillow for each 4 beds, No alarm clock, Empty and Dirty reefer. Difficult access to Cabinets due to positioning of beds. Limited choices of food for the breakfast. Would not go back to this hotel again.
The hotel is in walking distance from downtown. The room was clean and comfortable. I had free wifi access in the room. Breakfast was delicious and included in room price.
Very clean and comfortable...good breakfast... Just had to wait to check in, till 2 pm
Good central position, very helpful staff, good breakfast and modern style room, parking Getting to carpark convoluted due to Lisbon's geography but grateful to get a carpark in such a central position
The location is great and it is excellent value for the money. The breakfast is very good and the hotel is clean.
The Check-in staff was very helpful in getting me from a Twin-Bed to a Double Bed correcting a slight mishap promptly (I think the helpful lad's name was José Costa). Booking Business Room ended us up on 9th out of 10. I could catch a glimpse of the park which was pretty ok. The decor is simple and nice. Very comfortable matresses :) Very clean (as I have been accustomed by the Fenix chain Hotels), despite the Bathtub having a patch that was slightly worn.
I liked the location, comfort, services,price,the relaxed atmosphere, short walk to the city centre,close to the airport, breakfast and the staff. it was quite cold in the room and the air condition did not funcion although the staff was helpful
I liked the tranquillity of the street, the fact that it was very close to the metro Parque (just 4 stops to reach Rossio) but it was also perfect to walk down from Av. de Liberdade to Praça de Dom Pedro (about 10 minutes). Breakfast was perfect and complete with salty and sweet, hot and cold food. Room was clean and staff very friendly. There is no wi-fi connection in the room but you can ask to use the computer in the main hall (they give you username and password for 15 minutes connection for free)
Excellent breakfast. When I requested a view of the castle, the hotel provided us with a room with a wonderful view.
Breakfast buffet Location
Excellent rooms, excellent breakfast, good location in nice area, fair rate
.The ambiance of the hotel was excellent. Due to the contemporary décor.
Very impressed. Breakfast wonderful with so much choice. Bar rather overpriced
breakfast safe box no good, not much TV channels
The attitude of the staff and the central location It seemed odd that you couldn't go from the top of the hotel to the bottom without changing lifts as they are all public floors.
Clean place to rest Wrong directions to find the parking
the decor was very well done.... the energy savings exhibited in the corridors is brilliant - lights dim and activate when you open your door. As with many Wuropean hotels, the lighting level in the public spaces is a bit harsh. It would be nice to see the art highlighted with light and other lighting dimmable. Piano Player was lovely and the perfect end to a trip. Smokers... the beds were rock hard and I would definately recommend the hotel but would caution US travelers the firmness of the bed as we are use to US hotels that offer luxury bed experiences.
friendly intuitive staff, beautifully deigned rooms, good food, good location lack of equipments in the gym
The room was very comfortable. Lobby bar service was not up to standard fo the hotel
Breakfast is nice. Personal is very good. Elevator is bad. You'll wait hours. No iron, hotel does not adopted for business travelers.
Very boring location, rooms are aging, boring and noise isolation poor
The staffs are super friendly and well accommodating.
Clean room, pleasant staff, comfortable bed
Close to the airport. The overall condition of the hotel was poor, quite dirty and the rooms (we asked for a change) were quite "beaten up". The carpets were stained, dust everywhere and the bathrooms need a good cleaning with new caulking in around the shower.The staff we found to have "low moral" which may be a direct result from poor management. Which is quite disappointing as some were quite nice. It just seems like the owners of the hotel (who ever they may be) have given up in terms of the basics. Not a 5 star by all means; this hotel needs a big wake up!
Positiv was the free access to the gym and the luggage room. Although new hotel the carpet in the room was very dirty already and there is no effort to clean it proper. We had asked for a wake up call at 5 am and I am glad I did not rely on the hotel as they did not wake us!! The service is lacking behind for a 5 star hotel.
The bedroom is modern and equipped with the basic facilities. The bed is very comfortable. The hotel is a five minute walk from the metro. The basic double rooms aren't pratical: there are no bed-side tables, no place to hang hand-towels or to place the suitcases. The mini-bar and room-service don't have much to offer. No kettle to boil water for coffee/tea in the bedroom. There is no free internet and no wi-fi at all in the bedroom (we had to take our own cable from the recpetion). The comfort and service provided are far from what is expected from a five-star hotel.
Really elegant and cheap
Great Staff. Comfortable beds. Good showers. Rooms although comfortable were quite basic for 5 star clasification. Breakfast was dreadful, especially at â¬20 per person. Cold, congealed cooked food, no bread left with an hour and a half of service left. Burnt pastry.
Excellent hotel. Quality has exceeded expectation. Good atmosphere for rest and work. Good staff in Hotel and especially in restaurant. I like this Hotel and will stay there more.
The bar service - excellent Transport difficult to town centre
location, shuttle, breakfast, room, service nothing, all was great
Customer service was good Room was very small & breakfast was over priced
the room was comfortably spacious, with a round table and chairs for eating or relaxing and a desk area for working. Everything was clean, modern and luxurious feeling. The staff was friendly and the person who arranged shuttle rides and opened the front door was able to provide me with needed information on local food and amenities. They had a shuttle service providing complementary rides to the airport every half hour for the first half of the day, and the gentleman diligently inquired if I would need a ride the following morning and included my name on the reservation list for the desired time. He also provided me with accurate information about how early I needed to arrive to have sufficient time to get through security for my flight. The location, although close to the airport, made me feel like it was located in the center of a traffic circle, both from the vehicular activity surrounding the area and the proximity to the highway. Since it was airport close, there was jet noise from take offs or landings, but not too overpowering due to good noise reducing windows.
Convenience to airport. Bathroom was not perfectly clean. Restaurant food was average. Checkout clerk did not give me a receipt.
Upgraded for free to an amazing suite. You are right on a park near the university but could throw a ball over to the airport. Very comfortable! Free wifi. Paid parking though.
VERY convenient to the airport for a 5:30 a.m. flight. Walked out, got in taxi at 3:30 a.m. and off we went. Nice.
Christmas Day evening no shuttle available at 22:30, taxi cost €10. But shuttle next morning was great.
Very convenient to airport. Nice, large rooms(esp by European standards). High cost of food and drinks in bar.
The reservation staff was very accommodating. I arrived at the hotel at 10 am and I was allowed to check it at that time. My room was very spacious and include all the amenities that I needed. The hotel was very close to the airport and they offered free shuttle. I will definitely stay here again. Nothing
A friend and I stayed here for a night while on a long layover in Lisbon. The hotel had clean, comfortable, and gorgeous rooms with nice amenities and responsive staff. It's was close to both the airport and the Metro, so it was very easy to get around.
Online check in, plus it asked it there were any special requests. I asked for 1 bed (2 adults) and a feather/down pillow. One of the 2 special requests with the online check in was ignored--the request for the feather/down pillow. It would have been nice either for the pillow to be in the room, or an explanation of why not. Neither was provided, however.
Excellent if you want to see Sporting game
Free internet
Breakfast was excellent
this is a highly overrated 3 syar hotel with poor design and tasteless decoration. uncomfortable beds. 5 stars is a rip off
They recommended us a restaurant with wanderful wiews of Lisboa, Graça. Please don't send more customers to this restaurant, very bad reputation for the hotel.
Nice room and excellent breakfast buffet included in the room charge.
Good quality rooms and service. Location is four metro stops from the centre but metro station close by. The hot food served at breakfast could have been warmer.
Location is very good, central but quiet. Hotel is new (4 years) and installations are excellent. Breakfast is very good. People are very kind.
room service, facilities, quiet bed springs were noisy
value for money nice staff good comfort older hotel
Rooms were ok, silent(except for work nearby) spacious enough. Lifts were slow to arrive, access to the stairway should be allowed (little need for a lift when your room is on 2nd floor) Breakfast was excellent, buffet had good choice. Restaurant was a bit disappointing
The best breakfast that I have had at Europe. The room was very nice. It was near to the subway and near to the El Corte Inglés. I didn't like the fact that I needed to pay € 5,00 more to order anything from the room, when the restaurant closes at 22:30 and the bar (to order food) closes at 23:15.
Eating at the restaurant and the drinks were good. Helpful service. Great house keeping. Nice curb appeal. Elevator would not go to the correct floor. Worse elevator I have ever experienced. In bar got an orange juice. 12 ounces for 3 euros. Same server at dinner 6 ounces for 3 euros.
food is very poor ,quality ingredients , but very small portions and strange concepts
Very spacious rooms - Checkin Reception was very helpful Not many staff can communicate well in English -
Please write at least 15 words My room has not been cleaned one day. Staff unfriendly. Spa was disappointing.
It was very good hotel. We enjoyed very much newyear's holiday. Breackfast was big choice of fresh food,very nice view of city from our room. Very clean and quiet.Convinient atuation of big sgoppig mall. Hevy rainy night,our room window was leaking. But they change more higher room. Sometime nobody at reception.That class of hotel need concierge most of time of the day.
Helpful staff, very pleasant surroundings, first class fixtures & fittings in rooms and throughout the hotel Bar and restaurant very expensive. Location adjacent shopping centre(s) but no local bars & restaurants, a taxi is called for to go to anywhere of interest.
location and service Nothing
The hotel is very clean with spacious rooms and bathrooms, the staff are friendly and quite helpful. The free internet access in the lobby was extremely helpful. I would really recommend it.
Spacious room Internet service at hotel poor, also could update a bit the furniture
Location Dirty and smelly spa, bad room service also room service people didn't speak English. They parked our car without telling us that there is cost for parking
Nothing. I do not recomand anybody 2 go there, bad service, bad atmosphire, not clean enough. disappointing. The Hotel supposed 2 b Spa hotel, but the tinny Spa is unbelievebly cold, the water are freezing and it is very crowdy, Disappointing.
Service,location,everyone speaks english
Good location, friendly staff, sufficient breakfast. No room service. Reception insists we have to go downstairs if we want anything.
The decoration The bathroom is so small!!! And the breakfast is very poor, and the staff working on the breakfast room is very slow an somewhat antipathic
Everything was new and clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. The location is convenient (sightseeing buses leave from the square right in front of the hotel; also metro station). Access to wireless internet (the signal was strong enough even in my room, which was on 1st floor). I wish there had been a place to eat in the hotel or more restaurants to choose from in the neighbourhood, as I didn't feel like going back to the city centre in the evening. Also, the drains of the washing basin and shower seemed to be blocked. (I stayed only for one night so it wasn't worth complaining about.)
Everythig is very good in the hotel. Personell is very nice and helpfull. I actually liked evrything in the hotel. no bad comments
really clean and modern. right at the center of the city. the internet fee was pretty expensive.
Very good location, new hotel, execellent conditions, can be considered a 4 star hotel
Very good location, in a walking distance to the city center. A little bit noisy if staying in a room faced to the street.
very good design, tasty breakfast, good staff nothing
The hotel is brand new, which is a very good diference from the rest of the hotels in the area The car parking garage is awful, if you have a car don't leave it there.
Good location, helpful staff, modern design, good value for the money
Good location, good staff. Small rooms, old furniture.
The location of the hotel, near the metro station and a park. The room was very clean. The breakfast was very good. A bad smell of the bathroom. The sounds heard from the other rooms and from the aisle. The low temperature in the room during the night.
Being the artist I like very much the design of the hotel and the location as well.
the room and the location. The room was fantastic. spacious, very clean, fantastic view(7th floor), good design, fantastic double bed, smoothy quilts, silence. The location was great. 50m from metro station, 100m from aero-bus stop. breakfast time ends too early at 10. At 9.45 there were very few things left. At 10.40 they asked us to leave breakfast-room as they were going to prepare for lunch. We didn't even finish our coffee
We liked the design of the Hotel, the relaxed atmosphere,also not too big,that ads also to a good atmosphere;close to Metrostation,so in a few minutes downtown;Staff in general friendly and helpfull.Most likely we will choose the same hotel when visiting Lisbon again. Misleading information:Hotelinfo:a)bar open 24 hours a day, in reality only till 9 o'clock in the evening,b)apart from bar-area not allowed to smoke in hotel,Hotelinfo:do n't smoke in bed ! this does not make any sense ! further:we stored our passports,plus some other papers,etc.at hoteldesk for deposit,which is everywhere the normal procedure;after several times being asked by deskstaff to keep our papers in our own room,we took them back; very strange policy, since no safebox in rooms !
Location was good, room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Paper thin walls! We could hear next door neigbours as well as people upstairs and loud cleaners.
That hotel was a great surprise. It´s new, design is fantastic and breakfast was very nice. Nothing.
The only thing we liked was the location which was a nice walk to downtown and easy to get to the airport. The room stank and when questioned we were told it was because when the tide is high the river's smells come through the pipes. The room was designed in retro 70's theme which could be nice but was very depressing. There was no room-service despite it being indicated that it is provided. There was no shelf in the bathroom to place your stuff while you showered. There were only about 6 channels on the tv. The room was not cleaned properly.
The hotel staff was very polite and helpful (especially in good advicing restaurants!). The location was perfect The details of the room were not well done. The breakfast did not have enough food after 9.30
great luxurious hotel at an incredible price! Was truly impressed.
The staff were professional and freindly. The rooms were spacious and had a great view over the city. The hotel is close to the centre.
Room service, cleanliness of the room, courteous and helpful staff. Services offered. Prompt response to my requests. Comfort of room and view., Excellent location. Food. Nothing i did not like
This is an excellent hotel, the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the service they provided was very prompt. I really liked the location of the hotel. It is only a 10 minute walk from the city centre and is in a lovely area of Lisbon right beside a park.
affordable and very nice
Common areas were attractive and well maintained, staff was polite and responsive (especially the doormen, who were super). Breakfast buffet was excellent. Very convenient location. The furnishings in the room were tired, especially the carpet.
Beautiful location. High quality room furnishings. Very comfortable bed. Good food. Friendly helpful staff. Nothing not to like.
very comfortable room with a good view over the city Quite a long walk from the city centre: and restaurants bars etc,bar and restaurant prices high especially breakfast
The staff are spectacular -- multi-lingual, kind and helpful, generous with advice. The location is very quiet and near the beautiful Eduardo VII park near the top of Avenida da Liberdade. There is a transportation hub nearby. However, there were few cafes, restaurants, and other amenities within walking distance.
It was in convenient location, and a reasonable price for standard of hotel
Very generous size room and bath (especially for Europe). Modern, clean, great view and location, and a very friendly staff. The restaurant food was very good and above expectations. No surprise charges on the bill, we had ice delivered to the room and were happy to see there was no charge. All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel and at it was a great value. Only negative would be that we hit this hotel in early Novemeber, but the weather was warm for that time of year and the a/c system had been switched for ability to heat not cool. As a result we were not able to lower the room temp as low as we like but it was not intolerable.
I have to say, the staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Especially the concierge (his dinner recomendations were spot on) and the staff in the bar. Location is a little out of town, but only about 5-6 euro in a taxi. Once you get over the price at the bar (just maybe meet for one before you head out) the hotel is great. Pity there is no pool. The price of the breakfast is daft! There are loads of little cafe's just a few doors up and down the street. The bar is also very expensive, but the staff are very nice and it stops you having a load of late ones!
need wi-fi - forget this hotel "internet engineer" has god complex - he can easily block your computer from hotel`s wi-fi permanently. Nobody cares about your needs. And also you will be blamed in violation of their network. (same computer behavior in about 7 hotels within this trip - everything was perfect)
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable. A little farther from the downtown than we would have liked. But transportation was very good.
evrything,very nice hotel with perfect staff,nice room would like to stay there again
I booked for promotion price for a double room and I got standard room instead when we arrived. The staff just apologized for the inconvenience but this kind of thing happen to us twice in Lisbon through booking.com though it's a different hotel. May be the promotion is a scam to us after all! I am not sure if I want to booking through this service anymore. Plus the air con in this room is constantly making a loud noise that we have to wake up to turn it off and on through out the night. I am not sure if this is really a 4 star hotel!
Price is reasonable, close to Metro. 2 nearby Metros, but walking from one of them to the hotel requires passing a stretch of neighbourhood that makes me a little nervous. It can be avoided by using the other metro.
I asked for a change of room due to outside noise and the reception staff delt with the proplem speedily without question and with a smile.
The staff - especially Susanna at the desk and Manuel the waiter N/A
Within in easy walking distance of the city centre and other amenities I asked for a smoking room and was given a non smoking room - other than that everything was excellent
Cleanliness and comfort Too crowdy during breakfast
- very nice and clean hotel, close to subway station - wifi signal could be stronger
room, location, extra charge for swimmingpool of 12,5 € p/p
excellent quality and value n/a
dinner on top of hotel and bath tub was so nice and big , view of the city tea and coffee set up was not replaced after first day, however we never requested, thinking it will be done
the bad smell from the toilet in the room
The hotel restaurant & bar has spectacular views overlooking the city The spa facilites and outdoor pool were under construction until sept 07, this was a little frustrating.
Toilet very nice fee for the pool
The staff where very friendly and helpfull Having to pay to sit around the pool, I think this should be included in the price of room.
Hotel was extremely relaxed and comfortable. Facilities were excellent.
The design and layout of the rooms were very pleasing. Also the food in the restaurant and the views were stunning. The downstairs bar and restaurant was a bit soulless and we were chased up in the lift by a porter who had brought up our bags earlier and wanted a tip.
OK Spa Hammanm a little smelly, fungus? Sometechnical stuff not working
Indira at reception Pedro,Livio Ariana Anna in dining Luis,Danielle in concierge put the hotel over the top for us!we vacation often and loved our experience here Room was great overlooking park,breakfast was extensive and relaxing. Only negative was coffee /cupaccino. We love to walk and it was a climb back to hotel that we enjoyed,downhill into center I would defiantly come back!!
America Diamonds Hotel has good price and confortable well-decorated rooms. The location is not the best one for those who want to be close to the city centre, but it has a metro station in front of it and many convenience stores and shopping malls in the area.
we booked the special "romantic package", including room with whirlpool, 1 bottle sparkling wine and breakfast in the room (in bed). we enjoyed these specials and had a very nice stay in america diamonds hotel.
almost everything the rooms could be bigger, and the bathtub was not working
very nice , clean room, very tasty breakfast
Very professional staff plus good services and excellent location of the hotel I really enjoyed my stay and will tell all my friends to come and stay there! Thank you!
A metro station is just in front of the hotel entrance. A bus stop can be reached less than 2 minutes. It's very convenient. The hotel does not provide a jug kettle in the room. So, we couldn't enjoy a hot coffee or tea in the room.
1 room entry card per room with two adults in the room is ridiculous. Issue 2 entry cards
Convenient location to public transportation, helpful and friendly staff. At the time of my visit, there was some problem with the lobby bathroom so it was kind of stinky there.
Breakfast was very nice with Portugese sweets. Room was also quite neat and staff are very helpful.
The location was good. Going any touristic spots and airport were convenient. We cannot use Wifi for our 4 nights at all. They don't have any soluion for using interet with an i-phone. Staffs were not only unfriendly but also useless to get any information. The facilities of room need to repair such as the door of bathroom, the bottom of bathtub.

Sunday Talk Shows
ABC This Week
This Sunday, "This Week" analyzes the fragile cease-fire between Israel and Hamas, the battle over Benghazi, and the negotiations on the fiscal cliff-hanger, with Sen. Lindsey Graham and Sen. Dick Durbin
After a tense and violent week in the Middle East, a truce is reached between Hamas and Israel. But how long will it last, and has Hamas emerged stronger from the conflict? Will ongoing questions over what happened in Benghazi impact President Obama's second-term cabinet selections? And will there be any breakthroughs in the high-stakes talks over the fiscal cliff, as the year-end deadline draws closer?
Armed Services Committee member Sen. Lindsey Graham and Foreign Relations Committee member and Senate Majority Whip Sen. Dick Durbin speak to George Stephanopoulos this Sunday, only on "This Week."
Plus, actor and director Ben Affleck, founder of the Eastern Congo Initiative, and Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., come to "This Week" to discuss renewed fighting between rebels and government forces in war-torn Central Africa. With fears over escalating violence and a potential humanitarian crisis in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Affleck speaks to George Stephanopoulos about his call for the United States to engage with regional leaders for a cease-fire.
Then, the "This Week" powerhouse roundtable debates all the week's news and politics, with political strategist and ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd, TIME Magazine's Joe Klein, Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, and The New York Times' David Sanger author of "Confront and Conceal."
And what does a pair of buzz shears have to do with bringing bipartisanship to Washington? Sunday on "This Week," two party flacks are setting aside their differences by settling a hair-raising political bet and it all benefits a good cause. Democratic National Committee spokesman Brad Woodhouse and his Republican counterpart, Sean Spicer of the Republican National Committee, team up to support the St. Baldrick's Foundation, a national group that raises money for childhood cancer research grants by shaving the heads of volunteers. Woodhouse and Spicer have both agreed to lose their locks for charity, and with a little razor help from ABC's Jonathan Karl you can catch their hair-raising transformation Sunday on "This Week."
Meet the Press
The challenges President Obama faces at home and abroad as he prepares for his second term. After a bruising and partisan election, will Washington succeed in reaching an agreement to avert the fiscal cliff? Will the Obama administration be able to calm the crisis in the Middle East? And as lawmakers continue to press for more details, what fallout will the president face from the Benghazi attacks and the Petraeus affair ? Joining our special conversation: Documentary filmmaker and historian Ken Burns; Vice Chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, Carly Fiorina; MSNBCs Al Sharpton New York Times columnist David Brooks; and NBCs Andrea Mitchell
A pivotal time for Congress. The clock ticks as the country approaches the fiscal cliff and mandatory spending cuts in areas such as defense loom large if Washington can't make a deal. Plus, lawmakers continue their probe into the Sept. 11th attack in Libya. And a large portion of the Northeast is still dealing with the Sandy recovery effort through the holiday -- all of this before the president officially begins his second term. What should we expect from Capitol Hill in the weeks and months ahead? We'll check in with the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee Sen. Carl Levin, Rep. Gregory Meeks and Chair of the Homeland Security Committee, Rep. Peter King

Flames Snap Losing Streak With Win Over Rival Radford, 80-66
The Flames didn't waste any time getting started as they staked themselves to a quick 7-0 lead capped with a transition lay-up by Alex McLean with 17:33 left in the opening period.
Liberty extended its lead over the next 13 minutes as they held a 15-11 advantage capped by a transition dunk by Anthony Smith on a pass from B.J. Jenkins, giving Liberty a 22-11 lead with 4:06 left in the first half.
The Flames closed out the half holding a 7-6 advantage as Liberty scored a basket by Tyler Baker off a Larry Blair pass with four seconds left to take a 29-17 lead into the break.
The Flames broke a streak of seven-straight halves where they allowed opponents to shot over 50 percent as the Highlanders shot only 31.6 percent on 6-of-19 shooting. The last time an opponent shot under 50 percent was on December 28 when the Flames faced Seton Hall at the BYU Holiday Classic. Tonight marks the first time since December 18 at Buffalo that the Flames led at halftime.
The Flames opened the half on a big 16-6 run capped by an Alex McLean put back to make it 45-23 with 13:42 left in the game.
The Highlanders then went on a 14-6 run finished off by a lay-up by Martell McDuffy with 9:05 left in the game making it 51-38 Flames advantage.
The Flames then went on an 11-7 run capped by a Blair three-point basket with 5:01 left in the game making it a Liberty 63-48 advantage. Blair was fouled by Amir Johnson on the shot but missed the ensuing free throw despite leading the Big South Conference in free throw shooting at 89.1 percent.
The Flames survived a foul barrage by Radford late in the game as the Highlander tried to get back in the game as Liberty held a slight 19-17 advantage over the remaining five minutes as McLean scored the last points of the game with four seconds left to seal the 80-66 victory.
The Flames shot an astounding 59.4 percent in the second half on 19-of-32 shooting and Radford stepped up its second half shooting hitting on 48.6 percent of its attempts on 18-of -37 shooting.
The Flames were led by Blair who scored 21 points on 8-of-17 shooting, while grabbing four rebounds and tying a career high with 10 assists. Blair last dished 10 assists last season in the Flames' 88-54 victory. Smith tallied his first career double-double as he scored 17 points and grabbed a career-high 10 rebounds and dished a career-high five assists. McLean chipped in 18 points and grabbed eight rebounds while Tyler Baker scored seven points in 14 minutes to round out the top performers.
The Highlanders had three players in double figures led by Kenny Thomas who scored 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting, while Chris Oliver scored 17 points with seven rebounds. Reggie McIntyre chipped in 15 points and grabbed four rebounds while only playing the second half after arriving from the Roanoke airport at halftime.
The Flames are back in action on Saturday evening when defending Big South champions the Winthrop Eagles come to the Vines Center. Tip is set for 7 p.m.

I have been obsessed with yoga since my sophomore year in college when I took my first Vinyasa yoga class.
Now, I go to Power Yoga at the YMCA at least once a week.
My obsession with yoga hasn't traveled much outside the realm of the practice and the poses. I didn't much care about the mat I used or the clothing I wore…
…but then I saw these babies featured on Diets In Review. (They featured black. I hunted down the pink pair. This chick loves pink. Remember the Adidas shoes?)
These are Nike Studio Wrap shoes. Five-in-one shoes designed for the barefoot, in-studio workout… without the barefoot part.
I. Am. Obsessed.
According to Nike, Inc., the bare foot can slip and slide, and I've experienced this during Downward Dog pose where my legs and arms both slowly move farther away from each other on the mat I've soaked in sweat. The Nike Studio Wrap acts like a toe shoe without the shoe, and Nike claims that it will be less bunchy than a yoga sock.
Let's count the pros…
1) My feet aren't completely bare in public at the YMCA where small children get pink eye.
2) The little sticky bobbers on the soles of the non-shoe will prevent sliding on the mat.
It's still a shoe, and shoes are awful, and I don't understand the ribbon part. Is that for decoration? Ankle support? I don't get it.
The Nike Studio Wrap shoes are supposed to have a starting price of $110, which I find ridiculous. I paid $100 for my Brooks running shoes (worth it)! The Nike Studio Wrap is half a shoe so they should be half the price.
I like my logic. I don't think Nike would appreciate it, though.
The wrap shoes seem like they might make a functional addition to my yoga practice, but I have no intention of purchasing a pair until I've read extensive reviews and seen them in action.
I have to wait until Spring.
Dang it.
Do you use a yoga shoe or sock? What luck have you had? What price tag have you paid? (I'm so stingy.)

Just came back from a meeting to find that Sony Pictures Entertainment has promoted Tommy Gargotta to president of worldwide creative advertising, replacing Josh Goldstine who'll now work on a few Columbia titles a year as a senior creative exec. (See my previous, More Hollywood Title Inflation Coming…)
Sony's Gargotta Upped, Goldstine Moved
3 Comments
well that's a low blow. In other words, Josh, your days are numbered and it's time to look for another job. Guess he's worn out his welcome after soo many years. That's typical….
I have worked with Josh, and found him to be creative, smart, opened, and tireless. His devotion to SONY has been astounding. Tommy is good, too, but I find he leans more toward the male oriented pictures than the female. So does Val Van Galder. So does Amy Pascal. Therein lies the reason for Josh's demise.
Sad. They don't so much fire you at SONY. Rather they let you go out with a whimper. That way Amy doesn't look bad. Which is what it's all about really. Protecting, (your friend Nikki) Amy.
Josh -anyone would be lucky to have ye.
I think Josh is brilliant. He really knows his stuff. Just wait and see the campaign he is overseeing for 2012. Ground-breaking.

Rush Orders
: orders placed
have a
$20 rush order charge
Columbus, Ohio
Address, Map & Directions
Please Read before ordering.
First of all, let us tell you that Cake Dots love making speciality cakes for everyone. However, we are
distressed and disappointed over recent orders where customers order a cake then cancel the day before scheduled pickup or the day of pickup. Even worse, some just fail to show up, leaving us holding the cake!!! This is not good people.*
We at Cake Dots bake your cake especially for you but
we make it the day before the pickup time
; otherwise, you would be sitting around here waiting for it to finish baking etc. Also if you ask for a sculpted cake, the cake needs time to rest and set up or you will have just a pile of crumbs. Think about it. Another thing is that if we make the cake three days before, people sometimes think they are getting a "stale" cake. How long do you think the cakes sit around that are sold in Kroger, Meijer, or Walmart? Probably years!!!!! (Well, not quite). Recently I bought a package of Cookies from Pettridge Farms; the expiration date was 4 months away!! Geesh! Again, getting back to the point of baking a couple of days before pickup: changing your mind a day or two before pickup means we have already baked your cake, and changing your mind at the last minute means we have already baked and decorated your cake and now we are out of pocket and time spent creating it. NOTE: Not one single customer has ever complained about their cake being stale or dry or not liking it. See our
Almost all of our special designs have to be made and allowed to set up before we can put them on your cake. Stars, for example, take about 4-5 days to set up so they don't slide down the cake wires. Sugar designs like Abby Cadabby, Tinkerbell etc. require a good week or more to set up and they also take a
of time to create. Try to get a sugar Abby Cadabby at Walmart or Kroger's -- they use little plastic characters that cost practically nothing because they buy them in huge quantities; we special make each and every one of our sugar characters. Cake Dot could actually scream when one of these cakes is ordered and no one shows up to get it.
The special supplies and ingredients for our cakes aren't given to us. These special ingredients cost us more than bakeries, and definitely a lot more than what Kroger and Walmart pay for their supplies. One person asked if we were "freakin' crazy" because we quoted a $35 price for her cake -- one that was wanted in
2 days
. We didn't even charge the $15 rush order charge. Good grief!! Again, Cake Dot could just scream.
We at Cake Dots cannot tell you how upsetting the "no pick ups" have been. We cannot tell you the hours that have gone into making these cakes nor the amount of expense we have put into them. We don't open a box cake mix, slap some icing on it and say it's done. We make and decorate our cakes with each person in mind, realizing how surprised they will be and how happy this cake is going to make someone.
A well well-known and well-established baker in Chicago recently told us to charge
for our special cakes, but noooo, we can't do that to our customers
-- we try very hard to do the best and most elaborate cake we can and keep the price as low as possible, but apparently it's not good enough and some people do us dirty.
We don't charge an hourly rate
, we just charge for the supplies which is why we hold our breath a lot when it's time to pay bills. Maybe we should listen to the Chicago baker and then we will certainly hear customers ask if we are "freakin' crazy."
Cake Dots take a lot of pride in our cakes and we make them only for you. We apologize for having to post this and for our bitching (there's no other way to say it). Please enjoy perusing the cakes we have created and have fun. We hope we have not frightened you away with our venting.
The approximate number of serving for all party cakes
wedding cakes are listed below according to the shape you prefer.
For birthday, party or special event cakes,
PLEASE, please a three-week notice is requested
, however, there are always exceptions -- Please check our "
" page.
*The problem of people ordering speciality cakes and not picking them up is
not limited
to only Cake Dots. Other bakers in the area have complained about the same problem and this has been discussed at our Ohio Cake Decorating meetings. Many suggestions have been make but Cake Dots does not want to inconvenience our wonderful and faithful customers, the ones who are extremely nice and also honest. So we, for now, will continue with our usual and trusting way of taking orders. A special thanks to all of our wonderful customers. We truly appreciate you.
extras including more than one flavor cake, animals, handmade or special ordered flowers,* stars, tilted or tiered cakes etc. are priced according to difficulty and materials used.
We will definitely work with you to stay within your budget and give you not only the best tasting but definitely the best looking cake we can. Please remember, we are not Walmart nor Kroger -- we
make and design your cake to your requests.
There are times when we absolutely cannot make the flowers needed for your cake either due to difficulty or time.

Click here for the page link to
We apologize for having to do this, but this is the last time Cake Dots will take an order on trust and have no one call, cancel at least two days before due date, or even bother to pick up the cake.
Tuesday, Cake Dot was just getting over a terrible cold and did not feel like baking, but thinking she would feel better closer to the weekend, she took the order on good faith. Cake Dots didn't even ask for the $20 rush order.
Then Saturday came and went with the cake still in the fridge. We believe it's the same person doing this on a regular basis because we think we can now recognize the voice. We tried asking for a partial payment upfront but when it's kinda rushed, as in this case, that's almost impossible to do.
Words cannot express how disappointed Cake Dots is with people who think it's fun to cause other people harm in the way of time and effort, money and creativity. BTW, this order was for a 12x18 single layer baby Tigger cutout cake. Grrrr.

Thesis versus Non-Thesis
Both graduate programs in HPPE end with a culminating activity -- either an oral defense of thesis or a written comprehensive exam. Students may choose either option depending on their ultimate academic or career goals.
- The thesis option challenges those individuals who wish to contribute to the knowledge base f the field through research, wherein both theoretical and applied research is emphasized.
- The non-thesis option is designed for those individuals whose major objective in graduate study is to enhance their professional background in physical education or health education.
In order to be eligible for their oral defense or for their written comprehensive exam, students must have completed all required graduate courses with a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or higher.
For more information on both options, please consult the Graduate Catalog or contact Raj Subramaniam, Graduate Program Chair and Professor.

Allen, a Cowboys safety, gets really close to saying that players should target Cooper and then backs off, say he hopes they do not target him and then starts up again about the enevitability of retribution. What an idiot. Let bad enough alone. Hey, coaches, is there something Will allen an be doing at training camp instead of running his mouth? And, shame on the NFL for not suspending Cooper. Secondly, nothing good ever comes out of a country music concert. So don't do it. Don't get crazy and say stupid things.

Right fielder Joey Butler helped propel the Navegantes del Magallanes to a 12-2 victory. Butler batted second and was 2-for-4 with a double, a walk, and two runs batted in. In 10 games, he is 9-for-32 (.281) with three doubles, a triple, six walks, and seven strikeouts.
Butler did some of his damage off former Rangers farmhand Edwin Escobar, who got the start for Lara. Escobar was dealt to San Francisco in exchange for Ben Snyder during spring training in 2010.
Guilder Rodriguez came in as a defensive replacement, playing left field. He went 0-for-1.
Left fielder Engel Beltre singled once in two at-bats for Licey on Saturday, raising his average to .295 in the relatively small sample. Beltre was lifted for pinch-hitter Luis Terrero in the sixth inning.
Fabio Castillo continued his strong start for the Toros del Este, as he worked 1.2 more scoreless innings while yielding one hit and striking out one. The 22-year-old has allowed only two hits in 6.1 scoreless innings over his first six relief appearances.
Escogido outfielder Julio Borbon's hitless streak reached nine games played on Saturday after he went 0-for-3 once again. Borbon is 0-for-19 during that stretch, and he is only 7-for-54 (.130) in 21 contests thus far.
No Rangers appeared on Saturday.

A woman from Mills, Wyoming has made her initial appearance in United States District Court in Casper on three charges including sending an envelope with an unknown white powder to the Sheridan County Courthouse just before Christmas. 39-year-old Jennifer Casebolt could spend 15 years in prison if convicted on all counts.
The old portion of the Sheridan County Courthouse was shut down on December 22nd when an employee in the Clerk of Circuit Court's office opened an envelope and a white powder spilled out. The letter was postmarked in Casper and handwriting on the envelope was compared to writing on lawsuit documents filed by Casebolt in Sheridan County in October.
In addition to the charges relating to the Courthouse incident, Casebolt also is charged with threatening the life of United States Representative Cynthia Lummis. Casebolt allegedly left the death threats on December 10th on a voicemail intended for Wyoming's lone delegate to the House of Representatives.

A portrait of naked Arthur which was made by John Currin in 1991 is sold to an anonymous bidder at $1.9 million.
A painting of Bea Arthur in her birthday suit was sold as much as $1.9 million on Wednesday, May 15 in a Christie's auction, New York Post reported. Artist John Currin made the painting in 1991. Although the portrait shows Arthur being topless, the "Golden Girl" star never sat in that condition in front of the painter. According to Christie's, Currin drew it based on his imagination from a picture of the sitcom star.
Currin has made many paintings which depict women in a provocative pose or in skimpy clothing. As consequence, some critics reportedly urged people to boycott Currin's shows in 1990s. The "Bea Arthur Naked" also garnered hot criticism at that time. Critics said that it was sexist and misogynistic.
Others, however, commented that the portrait was a statement of feminism and age. Christie's spokesman Koji Inoue said that the portrait was "visually lasting." He explained, "It's historically significant - it's radical to sexualize someone people think of as asexual. The painting has a visual toughness to it - but it's also fun."
Facebook temporarily banned "Bea Arthur Naked" from the site because of the alleged offensive image. The Daily Beast's Facebook account and other journalists' as well were affected by the artwork. The social media's spokesperson later explained to the editors that Facebook's team mistakenly took the painting as an actual nude woman, which violated the terms. The social networking site reportedly has lifted the ban.
Arthur received Emmy Awards for her roles in 1970s' and 1980's TV shows, "Maude" and "Golden Girls". She passed away in 2009 at the age of 86 because of cancer.
