Royal Bank of Canada, Toronto-Dominion Bank and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce joined the country's other lenders in topping analysts' estimates for third-quarter earnings, lifted by record profits in domestic consumer lending and wealth management.
Royal Bank, Canada's largest lender by assets, reported Thursday that net income for the period ended July 31 rose 2.9% to a record $2.3 billion, or $1.52 a share. Toronto-Dominion, the second-biggest bank, said profit fell 10% to $1.53 billion, or $1.58 a share, after taking insurance losses tied to severe weather claims. Canadian Imperial, the fifth largest, said profit rose 5.8% to $890 million, or $2.16 a share.
"It's a return to business as usual for the Canadian banks," Tom Lewandowski, an analyst at Edward Jones & Co., said in a telephone interview. "All of these banks said they would see a slowdown in 2013 and it doesn't seem to be happening."
The three Toronto-based banks posted record profit in Canadian personal and commercial banking and wealth management even as near record-low interest rates and tight net interest margins proved challenging for lenders. Royal Bank and Toronto-Dominion raised their dividend, joining Bank of Nova Scotia and Canadian Western Bank in hiking the quarterly payout.
"The Canadian banks have shown tremendous strength and resilience," Colleen Johnston, Toronto-Dominion's chief financial officer, said Thursday in an interview. "But the operating environment is challenging."
Banque Internationale
Royal Bank said profit excluding some items was $1.48 a share, beating the $1.38 average estimate of 13 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Toronto-Dominion reported adjusted profit of $1.65 a share, topping the $1.53 average estimate of 11 analysts, and Canadian Imperial said adjusted profit was $2.29 a share, compared to the $2.13 average estimate of 14 analysts.
Royal Bank benefited from a 51% increase in profit from its wealth-management unit as fund sales and improving stock markets lifted fee-based client assets. The lender also added contributions from its RBC Investor Services custodian business after buying out partner Banque Internationale a Luxembourg SA in July 2012. Royal Bank raised its quarterly dividend 6.3% to 67 cents.
Profit from Royal Bank's personal- and commercial-banking unit rose 7.1% to $1.18 billion and wealth management posted $236 million in profit. Insurance earnings fell 11% to $160 million, while profit from the RBC Capital Markets investment-banking business declined 9.6% to $388 million on lower revenue from advising on stock sales and mergers, and declines in trading revenue.
Insurance Losses
Toronto-Dominion posted record profit in Canadian wealth management as well as its Canadian and U.S. retail-banking businesses, according to Johnston. The bank raised its dividend 4.9% to 85 cents a share.
Toronto-Dominion said adjusted profit from Canadian lending rose 12% to $997 million and profit from U.S. retail banking advanced 23% to $445 million. Earnings from its investment-banking unit fell 18% to $147 million, the lender said.
Toronto-Dominion's gains were tempered by insurance losses on flood claims, which drove profit from its wealth management and insurance unit down to $7 million, from $360 million a year earlier. Rain-swollen rivers caused flooding in southern Alberta in June and a record deluge in Toronto submerged parts of Canada's most populous city on July 8, contributing to a $243 million loss for TD Insurance in the quarter.
Share Buyback
Canadian Imperial's earnings were aided by a 34% gain in its wealth-management unit, as well as increases in investment banking and record profit in Canadian retail banking.
Consumer-lending and business-banking earnings climbed 7.4% to a record $638 million from a year earlier. Profit from CIBC's wealth-management unit rose to a record $102 million from a year earlier after buying the private-wealth business of MFS McLean Budden a year ago from Sun Life Financial Inc. Income from investment banking advanced 39% to $217 million, helped by a 42% increase in trading revenue.
CIBC said in a separate statement that it plans to buy back as many as 8 million shares, or 2% of its stock.

I was told I could use an auger bit in a drill press to drill large holes in hardwood. I found this a good solution to the problem of an auger bit getting jammed in the hole. I would like to know if any woodworker had tried this before. Shahidan -- asm |

I do things the same way, drill a pilot hole large enough for the screw and it works just fine. I shouldn't tell this but the first time I didn't drill a large enough pilot hole, the top of the screw caught and for about 1/100 of a second things got very exciting. My thumb was black and blue for a month. Moral of the story… make positively sure the pilot hole is larger than the screw! |

I think it is generally considered bad practice / dangerous to use an auger bit in a drill press, just as Rick has demonstrated through his own experience. Auger bits are best used with a brace or possibly in a hand drill where the speeds are much slower and the rate of feed can be easily controlled. Auger bits can exert a very large amount of pressure along its cutting radius, which is why they are great for boring holes quickly. However, while you may get away with using one in a drill press, the risk of damaging your machine by pulling the chuck off the spindle or worse, the risk of damaging yourself, if the bit catches and turns your work piece into a rotary finger basher, seems to great for my interests. I prefer to stay on the safe side of things. |

"I don't know what other drill bit could bore a one and a half inch diameter hole." Spade bit? Forstner bit? Augur bits are designed to pull themselves into wood and displace the shavings at slow rpm. If you push on the bit it will not cut – if you let it pull itself in it works great. When using with a hand drill I do short slow bursts. |
#6 posted 10-02-2013 05:11 PM |
The piece was clamped to the table and braced against a fence but apparently my drill press has enough torque to overcome that. The bit was a forstner with threaded tip. It isn't something I do very often but I don't have a regular forstner in every size. |
#7 posted 10-02-2013 05:21 PM |
Forstner bits are made up to 4" at least. Not real cheap, but cheaper than the emergency room. Spade bits are a lot cheaper and are good up to 1-1/2" which is about all you'll get most auger bits up to anyway. |

Lots of things are dangerous if you are careless which I was when I drilled the pilot hole too small. If I have gone through life never doing anything that could result in injury I can't imagine how droll my life would have been … would never have jumped from a plane, never rapelled from a helicopter, never played football, never ridden a carnival ride, never used a tablesaw, never climbed a mountain, never driven a car, sure as hell would never have ridden a motorcycle. The point being all this safety nanny business is itself very droll and frankly insincere. |

I'm all for pushing the edge on things that have an element of danger (skydiving, bungee jumping, etc.) but this one has all the earmarks of someone's last words being "Hey Cooter! Watch this!!!" Auger bits are simply not made to be driven under power and doing so = bad idea in my book. -- Once in awhile I make something really great. Most days I just make sawdust. |
#10 posted 10-02-2013 06:50 PM |
I once learned from a carpenter that auger drills work in a drillpress or with a large handheld drill (with 2 handles) if you grind down the thread on the screw on 4 sides so that it resembles a ponted pyramid with a little thread left on the corners. This will center the bit but not make it drag too hard into the wood. -- "Do or Do not. There is no try." - Yoda |
#11 posted 10-02-2013 08:16 PM |
Woah, this really isn't a case of taking chances to live life to the fullest Rick. This is much more of a case of taking unnecessary risk, aka cutting corners, where better alternatives exist. I just don't think it is wise to suggest to people that putting an auger bit in a drill press is all good, when it isn't generally suggested as a safe practice and could have some serious consequences should something not go as planned. If you feel comfortable doing it, by all means, charge on. I think you're passing over better tools that exist to do the job of boring large holes with a drill press, and I hope others will seek the safer tools instead. There should be absolutely no reason that a tool, if used properly, should send you to the hospital or injure you in any way. |

I use a hole saw when I need larger diameter holes drilled. I find hole saw are easier to use in a hand drill. It will still work for the drill press. It either case, I have not found them to be dangerous. For really big diameters, try a circle jig on a band saw. |

My brace won't grip round bits. And I don't remember suggesting it was safe, my post made it clear otherwise, just that it will work if you drill a proper sized pilot hole. I speak for myself and I'm all for individual responsibility. |

The United States falls short compared to all high-income and many middle- and low-income countries when it comes to providing such things as paid or unpaid paternity leave, guaranteeing a woman's right to breast feed at work, and requiring employers to provide paid annual leave, says a new global study.
Advocates for mandated paid family leave in the United States pointed to the study to bolster their position.
Among the findings Harvard and McGill universities released Feb. 1 in the 2007 Work, Family, and Equity Index: How Does the U.S. Measure Up?
• Fathers in 66 countries receive or have a right to paid paternity leave, and 31 countries offer 14 or more weeks of paid leave. The United States does not guarantee paternity leave.
• 168 out of 173 countries studied guarantee paid maternal leave, but the United States, Lesotho, Liberia, Swaziland and Papua New Guinea do not. Ninety-eight countries offer 14 or more weeks of paid leave.
• A woman's right to breast feed at work is guaranteed in at least 107 countries; at least 73 provide paid breast-feeding breaks. The United States does neither.
• Paid annual leave is required of employers in 137 countries; 121 guarantee two weeks or more annually. The United States does not require employers to offer such leave.
The Work, Family, and Equity Index is part of the Project on Global Working Families, and the index is used to measure governmental performance globally in meeting working families' needs.
Findings are based on data from 177 countries, much of it from labor codes and other labor-related legislation, according to study authors Jody Heymann, Alison Earle and Jeffrey Hayes.
"More countries are providing the workplace protections that millions of Americans can only dream of," noted Heymann, who founded the Harvard-based Project on Global Working Families and is the director of the McGill Institute for Health and Social Policy.
"The U.S. has been a proud leader in adopting laws that provide for equal opportunity in the workplace, but our work/family protections are among the worst," she said in a press release. "It's time for change."
On the plus side, the United States has policies that ensure all racial and ethnic groups have equal rights in the workplace, regardless of gender, age or disability.
It also is one of 117 countries that guarantee a pay premium for overtime, the report points out, and its rate of "time and a half" for overtime is near the top in the range of guaranteed payments; only eight countries mandate more.
However, the findings point out a need to make some changes, according to Debra L. Ness, president of the National Partnership for Women & Families.
At least 145 countries provide paid sick days for short- or long-term illness; 127 provide a week or more annually. In the United States, the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) provides for unpaid leave for serious illness but does not cover 40 percent of private-sector workers and does not require paid sick days, the study notes.
"This study should serve as a wake-up call to Congress and the administration," Ness said in a press release.
"We need to expand the Family and Medical Leave Act, adopt paid leave nationwide, and pass the Healthy Families Act."
Calling the findings "powerful and important," she said, "We intend to share [the index] with lawmakers at the federal and state levels."
The U.S. Department of Labor recently issued a Request for Information about the FMLA, which Ness said could prompt rolling back the law that has allowed more than 50 million Americans to take job-protected unpaid leave from their jobs for the birth or adoption of a child or to care for themselves, their children or an immediate family member.
The deadline for public comment about the FMLA has been extended to Feb. 16, 2007.
The Healthy Families Act, introduced in Congress in April 2005, would require all U.S. employers with at least 15 employees to provide seven paid sick days annually. It may be reintroduced in March 2007, Ness noted.
Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., announced Feb. 1 that in coming weeks he will introduce legislation that would provide paid leave for employees and expand the number of people eligible for FMLA. Dodd is author of the landmark FMLA.

1900 piece of lace
This piece of lace belonged off a dress of my great grandmother. my mum passed it on
to me. The mother in the photo is my great grandmother do you think I should use it???
Or keep it?

Chris I will think of something that you can keep too. How it came about was many years ago Mum made old fashioned dresses for the girls when their was a fancy olden days dress up day at our little primary school that the government was closing down. Mum gave it to me then and wanted me to sew it on the girls dresses. I didn't as it looked too good. I kept it in the family history book and forgot all about it. It came out from England in Aunties belongings! You see that's why my cupboards are so full I keep everything!

HILLSDALE � An early morning fire damaged the inside of the Little Caesars restaurant in Hillsdale Monday.
A call came in shortly after 3 a.m. when a passerby saw and smelled smoke coming from the building located at 380 W. Carleton Road in Hillsdale.
The inside of the restaurant sustained heat and smoke damage in the blaze, but no damage was done to the outside of the structure. No one was in the restaurant at the time of the fire and no one was injured.
The state fire marshall was called to investigate the fire, but his report is not expected to be finished until next week.

Nacho Monreal is being linked with a move to his Basque homeland with Athletic Bilbao ... is it a move that could happen?
When it comes to international teams - not many are harder to break into than the Spanish squad.
When you consider that the likes of Mikel Arteta have never played for their country despite their obvious quality you soon get a picture of just how competitive a squad it is.
So anyone who fancies a place in the Spanish national team must already be contemplating their decision to stay with their current clubs if they are not playing regular football - especially with a World Cup coming up.
One player you could put in that category is Arsenal left-back Nacho Monreal.
The player was signed as a replacement for Andre Santos in January this year and is generally highly rated by the manager and fans at the club.
But unfortunately he is now currently out of the team - as Kieran Gibbs' good form leaves him watching from the side-lines.
With Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno making waves and Barcelona star Jordi Alba recovering from injury - it is only a matter of time before he sees himself slip out of contention.
He recently stated, that despite his lack of football, he was sure that playing at a higher level in the Premier League was making his chances of playing at the World Cup even greater.

Multiple videos have been released showing high levels of radiation in Canada as the corporate media continues to cover up the real dangers posed by the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
The tests were taken in multiple places in Canada including Lake Louise BC, Kelowna BC, Red Deer/Edmonton, and Hope BC.
The radiation tests that were taken near Lake Louise BC clearly showed harmful radiation levels up to 1.66 mcSv/hr .
So far Canadian and American authorities have remained silent. We must DEMAND action from local health authorities. If these levels of radiation are being picked up in Canada it seems only a matter of time before they reach the west coast of the United States.
This should be a RED ALERT to all Americans and Canadians!
Kelowna BC receives High Fukushima Fallout Radioactive Rain on 07/16/11
CRMT- Hope BC receives High Radioactive Fukushima Fallout Rain on 07/16/11
HIGH Radiations levels found in Rain samples from Red Deer/Edmonton (1.02 mcSv/hr)

Buttermilk Cornbread
- 1-3/4 cups medium-grind stone-ground yellow cornmeal
- 1/2 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 tsp table salt
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, cut into a few pieces
- *1 cup corn (fresh or canned;drained)
2. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil over high heat. In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup of the cornmeal and the boiling water. Stir to blend—the mixture should become a thick mush.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk the remaining 1-1/4 cups cornmeal with the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and baking soda to blend.
4. Add the buttermilk, sour cream, and eggs to the cornmeal mush and whisk to blend.
5. When the oven and pan are fully heated (after about 20 minutes), add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until just blended. Do not overmix.
6. Remove the hot pan from the oven and add the butter pieces, tilting the pan to swirl the butter around until it's melted and the pan is well coated. (The butter may brown; that's fine.) Immediately pour the melted butter over the mixed batter and stir to combine—a half-dozen strokes with a wooden spoon should be plenty. Scrape into the hot pan.
7. Bake until the cornbread pulls away from the sides of the pan and is golden on top, 18 to 20 minutes. Immediately turn the bread out onto a rack. Cool for 5 minutes. Serve hot.

Yum! I love sweet cornbread.
I'm a big fan of sweet cornbread as well. The not so sweet cornbread is good when you want to eat it with some soup beans but other than that – I stick with the sweet stuff. This looks like it turned out great!

Dueling Dishes: OC Fair Cinnamon Rolls
Anne Marie Panoringan |
We admit, past fairs were usually spent wandering up and down aisles and ultimately getting lost trying to find some decent grub. Not anymore. Our saucy fair connection made us aware of this year's must try menu items (Porkabello!), as well as a few that garnered further inspection.
Like Philly cheesesteaks, there's heated debate among fair veterans among who serves a better cinnamon roll. And we thought it was all fun and games around here. So with our sweet tooth intact we proceed to the competitors.
Cross-section of deliciousness |
For a fair fight (no pun intended), we opted for a straightforward version with icing. No crazy nuts 'round here. We consumed both within 24-hours of each other, so the sugar overload wasn't diluting our senses. And they were eaten at the end of our meals, so we weren't too hungry to appreciate either.
Taste number one is simply known as Cinnamon Rolls. Found along the main drag of Livestock lane, by one end of the Sky Ride, "Gold Medal Winner" boasts on their awning. Assume whatever truth in advertising you want, what you see pictured above is actually half a serving (our eyes were bigger than our stomach). The yum factor had everything to do with texture. These sticky pastries were baked a touch longer than your run-of-the-mill variety. What results is a trail of concentrated, granular bite otherwise known as caramelization. It was an unexpected contrast to our melty, chewy research.
Old West cinnamon roll |
In the opposite corner, found at the Main Mall's Carnival of Products, sits Old West Cinnamon Rolls. The moment those sliding doors whoosh open, you are hit with intoxicating aroma. If it isn't obvious from our pic, they love their icing. We were brought up to not drown our food, but gooey frosting is always an exception. Our roll was also slightly more dense, which made a single serving more than enough to share.
Both desserts had qualities we loved, but having to make a choice, the Old West did not win this round. Straightforward Cinnamon Rolls triumphed-- taking its components and making the best possible treat with hot, oozing icing and crunchy bits of fun.

I like this one, it has the same DNA as Baruti Melkmeisje with added heavy rose notes.
The olibanum and mastic are 2 other scents that I know due to my heritage, I really would have loved if they were more heavy here, this would make it more masculine imo.
I cannot smell any oud, or cedar either.
It has excellent longevity and high sillage too, impressive.
I really like this one, but if I can amplify the mastic and olibanum here I would be alot happier.
It is very classy and chic, I cannot see a teenager wearing this, not a tank top and shorts perfume.
It is more on the feminine side too.
Update: Actually on revisting this one, I can appreciate the sandalwood and cedar more, and the amzaing mastic and frankincense. Smells quite unique
Oh how I love baruti. They get it right - every time! Woody, spicy, intense, long lasting, sweet. I love this along with all the other ones in this line. There's a certain waxy balsamic scent that is present in all of them, maybe honey even, but it's all good as it adds to the sweetness intensity and unique scent.
I have samples of most along with 100+ other niches - check out the link on my profile for my EU swap list!
I loved Indigo from the first time I wore it. Mastic, hiacynth and olibanum together make a great combination. To me it smells very green and rich. I also detect some sandalwood in the background. I don't get the other notes. It is a parfum extract and a little goes a long way. This is a fragrance that lasts for 7-8 hours on me. Perfect for summer.
You really have to love mastic to love this. Unfortunately I don't but thought this was worth a try. On the plus side I was pleased to be able to detect the hyacinth, which is very soft and powdery at the beginning. I got very little rose from this. Unfortunately for me, after a while it simply smells of smoke, rubber bands, paper and ink. I'd love to know which city this "city life" perfume is supposed to represent. I'm guessing it's somewhere that's failing its pollution targets.
Edit: OK, OK, I'm going to eat some of my words above. I've tried this a few more times, and since the weather has cooled, Indigo behaves differently. Instead of overwhelmingly sharp inky accords, you also get a lot more of the floral notes, which makes Indigo much more pleasant to wear. I'll try it again on Guy Fawkes night just to get in the mood! Conclusion: I wouldn't consider wearing this unless on a clear, crisp, late autumn/winter day.
Rich,overwhelming sense of sensuality while you reach the Island Chios (The land of masticha) Love the quality of this perfume
Synthetic, yes!
And I don't care.
For me, it hit's the nerve centers in way similar to Amouage Opus VI although it is far less complex and honeyed, tobacco-ed.
Intoxication, immediate dazzling Frankincense splendour, hangover-like headache and a need to spray again.
If I didn't have the Opus.
Opulento, rico, misterioso, denso, oscuro, narcótico. Es un buen ejemplo de que no solo se necesitan buenos ingredientes para hacer una obra de arte, se necesita talento y una visita de las musas. Otra cosa buena que tiene es que no es conocido. De mi colección de mas de 100 perfumes está en mis 5 preferidos

I'm smitten. For some reason I suddenly realized that Danny Messer (played by Carmine Giovinazzo – that's one difficult surname to spell) is cute. I know, lame.
It began when I hung around the message board, Talk CSI when I was fantastically bored one day. (Apparently many would like to see Danny a)in the shower b) without his shirt.) Then it was a rewatch of the episode Tanglewood.
Darn it, but I'm always am intrigued by men with mysterious pasts! (Spoilers for those who have not watched Tanglewood.)
As some of you know, we found out that Danny may be involved with the Tanglewood Boys. The heated debate at Talk CSI about whether he's part of the gang has gotten me intrigued, especially since they'll be a "Tanglewood Part II" November this year.
Me? I think he was a gang member. Why then would he be so worried that Mac (Gary Sinise), who is like his mentor, found out? Methinks that although nobody leaves the gang, but somehow he managed to slip out and "lie low" (as low as anyone in law enforcement can!), but now that the Boys know that he's involved in placing one of the boys in prison, he or his family could be in big trouble.
I honestly think that in Tanglewood Part II, he'll be in big trouble. Again! (He recently lost his chances at promotion.) How else would his Tanglewood connections come to the surface (according to Anthony Zuiker, his past will be revealed. hehe).
IMHO, Tanglewood saved the show from CSI monotony. Seems like the following episodes revealed more of Danny's rather volatile and temperamental character, and more tension between Mac and Danny. A reaction, perhaps, to his worries about Mac knowing about his shady past? Right now, the two are "dancing" around each other. I suspect that Mac didn't know that he was in the interrogation room (behind the mirror), and thus knows that he knows.
Ooh, I love all this character angst! 8-D

To embed, copy and paste the code into your website or blog:
We've all done it: typed or tapped out a message, posted it online, and immediately wished we hadn't and that we could just erase it from the Internet forever. Now, if you are a California minor, you can. Sort of.
California Governor Jerry Brown recently signed into law S.B. 568, the first bill of its kind in the nation. S.B. 568 enacts two new statutes under the title "Privacy Rights for California Minors in the Digital World." The first, Business and Professions Code section 22580, prohibits advertising certain products to minors online (see blog post here). The second, Business and Professions Code section 22581, requires businesses to provide an online "eraser button" for remorseful minors.
Under the new law, which takes effect January 1, 2015, websites and apps primarily directed to minors, or known to be used by minors, will be required to notify minors of their right to remove information they have posted, and provide an easy to use method (i.e., an "eraser button") so that their users under the age of 18 can delete a posting or picture before it is transmitted to a third party. Once the posting has been transmitted or re-posted by a third party, however, the website is not required to delete those posts.
The purpose of the "eraser button" is essentially to protect teens from themselves – once they have had a chance to reflect on the potentially embarrassing nature of a posting, or other consequences that may flow from it (for example, the impact on a pending college or job application), the presumption is the teen may reconsider. The "eraser button" gives him or her a second chance – albeit brief – before it is too late, allowing escape from the sometimes punishing reality that the Internet is a permanent record. Indeed, recognizing the value to users of an "eraser button," major social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Vine already have a delete feature for users of any age.
The bill's supporters hope that other states, or federal legislators, will follow California's lead. Opponents argue it is unworkable to expect websites and apps to follow different policies based on different states' laws, and that the law is without any real impact since nearly all activity on the Internet is reposted and archived in one way or another and the law is effective only before the posting is transmitted to others. Critics have also complained that some aspects of the legislation are vague, and the law may be subject to constitutional challenge based on First Amendment and federal preemption under the federal Children's Online Privacy Protection Act ("COPPA"), which governs the collection and use for marketing of personal information about children under 13.
The new online "eraser button" law does not independently provide a private right of action or otherwise specify the consequences for failure to comply. However, once the law goes into effect in 2015, it could potentially be enforced by a state or local enforcement agency under statutes such as California's Unfair Competition Law, Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 17200 in action for injunctive relief, and could potentially be cited as the basis for private lawsuits under those statutes.

Here's Where To Get FREE Pretzels On National Pretzel Day
*Schnitzel and sauerkraut not included.
Let's be real, all these "national holidays" are pretty damn annoying (minus National Pet Day because give us all the dogs). BUT, we are definitely not complaining about "national food holidays," because they generally involve free food, and there's no place for negativity when free food is involved. Today, April 26th, is National Pretzel Day and you know we weren't about to leave you without a list of places where you can celebrate by chowing down on some free pretzels.
You know the queen of pretzel's wasn't gonna miss out on this celebration. Auntie Anne's is giving away a free Original or Cinnamon Sugar pretzel to "My Pretzel Perk" members from April 24th to 27th. The offer is redeemable through the app only so if you aren't already a member, you better get on that.
Pretzelmaker is trying to make the world a better place by not only giving you a pretzel, but encouraging you to be nice on social media too. To get your free pretzel you just have to share a warm message on social media, use the hashtag #WarmThoughts, and show it in-store. It's a win-win all around.
Wetzel's Pretzels just wants to celebrate National Pretzel Day family style which means, family benefits for you. To get your free pretzel here, all you have to do is show up. #FamilyPerks.
Philly Pretzel Factory
If you want to keep things simple, just stop into Philly Pretzel Factory and get a free pretzel just for walking in. OR, if you're an over achiever you can be one of the first 100 people to stop in on National Pretzel Day and win one free pretzel every day in March.
Ben's Soft Pretzels
To get a pretzel at Ben's Soft Pretzels all you have to do is donate at least $1 to the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund so technically the pretzels aren't free but at least you're getting a pretzel and helping out a good cause. Plus, all of the proceeds raised at the event will be donated. You can also win actual free pretzels for a year by entering their drawing through this form.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Location was excellent. Really close to the old town and the beach. The staff were helpful and communication before and during our stay was very good. Breakfast could have been more varied. There was limited staff during breakfast time which meant that often tables were not cleared out quickly enough and the food was not replenished in time. But when asked they responded straightaway. Also, there were only steps at the entrance of the hotel which meant that we had to lift our suitcases ourselves, but again, when asked for help the concierge was happy to help.
Location Nasty carpet
Loved the swimming pool on the roof! Did not like having a smoking room. That is the only problem I had with the hotel.
Friendly helpful staff. Large, nice room with balcony. Good location if you like to be both near the town and also have access to beach/seafront. Very good value for money. Good to have a fridge in room. Room was cleaned only 3 times out of the 6 days - I believe the cleaners finished at 3.30pm, but when I arrived back to my room just past 3pm, the room still was not cleaned. It may have been one of the last rooms on the cleaners schedule, but is it that unusual that guesrs wish to spend some time in room in the afternoons (given the heat outside!)? Picture of hotel in publicity material a bit misleading - I thought it might be possible to have some kind of sea/harbour view, but the hotel is located off the sea front on a street overlooking the road and other buildings on opposite side. No tea and coffee making facilities - not even access to a kettle.
good price, good location, couldn't have more expectations
Very good service staff on reception, beautiful main hall and little garden All rooms and other premises need renovation, furniture is seem like relative new but not convenient. Air conditioner works strange, it is impossible to setup it do not blow directly to the bed. Room service is careless. Parking near the hotel after 3.00-4.00 p.m. is very difficult. There is no gym in the hotel. Definitely not four stars.
Great room at a great price. they need to extend their WI-FI to the rooms. now they have it only on the lobby.
The hotel is in an excellent location, within easy walking distance of the old town with its shops and tavernas. The breakfast on offer is of very poor quality and the total absence of any staff to clear away dishes means that the breakfast room becomes somewhat squalid.
Location - close enough to the city, the room was clean and spacious except the bath that can fit to babies or extra thin persons No pool in april, no view from my room. I would rate it as 3 stars. I stayed at the hotel only one night, so it was OK
Achillion Palace was an ideal hotel for our holiday, close to the beach, right in the middle between the old and new areas. The old town was a 2 minute walk, loads of shops, tavernas etc. Hotel was perfectly comfartable, clean and the staff friendly. We had a great stay in Rethymnon.
I found that the young lady and the man working down at the Spa unfriendly and they seemed like they only wanted to assist you if there was some personal gain, e.g. appoint for facial, message etc. I asked them for a towel and they seemed upset about my asking. If you want to promote Spa and Relax you need to change something, you have the right facilities, but something is really lacking.
Breakfast was very good and although rooms are fairly small they were well kitted out and very clean. Pools were very nice - beware of very early morning sunlounger reservers (you know the nationality). Had a minor hitch with our first room which had a disabled persons bathroom which meant everytime you showered you couldnt use the bathroom through fear of slipping as water covered entire bathroom floor. Bathroom in 2nd room was much better/less deadly.
Staff was very friendly and kind. Room and facilities were comfortable and of nice style. Very nice view over the sea and to Rehtymno. The restaurant was excellent, particularly the buffet dinner. The cleaning lady was passing too late in the day (only at 15h00-16h00) and the work could be improved (a bit of dust left in some spots and a cleaning mop forgotten once). Some other spots in the hotel could be better taken care of. These are details which should be improved in a 5-star hotel.
The locatoin is great , and the hotel style is very modern & stylish The room was too small , and the WC & the bath is inside the room without doors (only WC has a door for decoration)
Decoration, cleanliness, friendly staff. Too much light in the room at night: blue light from the TV irridiating all the room, red light from the mini hi-fi, red light from the card box at the entrance, white curtains that leave light from outside pass through. Sorry but I like to have to light at all when I sleep so we had to remove the electricity card to have the least light as possible but it was too hot in the room because we could not have the air-conditionning. Also we heard all night long the noise of the air-conditionning of the neighbouring room.
The hotel can't be qualified as 5 stars establishment. It's understaffed (one person at the reception; nobody at the bar), no concierge, horrible breakfast. The "5 star" facilities are shared with The Pearl, the four star older hotel. So called "Wellness Center" is a bad joke: there are 3 delapidated bicycles and nothing else. I never stayed at 3 star hotel but it probably looks like this one. Beware ! Checking out I have to remind the receptionist to give me back deposit for ... beach towels. I had to wait few minutes for it. Leaving I remind them to give me also deposit for remote control to access the parking area. Reluctantly the receptionist gave it back. We left charger for Ds and after calling them next day nobody helped. Etc. The list of wrong things can be much longer.
Superb resort hotel, staff friendly and efficient, food and wine excellent and varied, easy access to town and services. Nothing that we found.
Although not in the 5 star league to which I am accustomed, my stay at the APR was very pleasant with a great view of the sea and the mountains in the distance. The staff were very helpful and efficient.
close to the beach, very polite staff.
Hotel was OK, well located with all amenities you can expect. Breakfast was average but OK. Staff was a bit constraingnant with the rules like closing the sunshade and stuff.
The sets on the beach must be included in the cost of the hotel staying
Hospitality and hotel staff helpfull and competent. Rooms with sea view noisy,rooms with garden view no privacy concerning the rooms by side
The hotel layout gives a great sense of space. All eating areas well served and good value food. As a 4 star I would expect fresh fruit juice and coffee at breakfast not some instant mixture that did not taste good. I requested seaview for 3 rooms booked but not one was offered.
very good relationship between price and quality. Very nice staff and excellent breakfast.
Perfect location, very clean, friendly staff, cheap
it is a fantastic hotel.
Staff was all very friendly. Bit rundown, especially towards the end of the holiday season.
Service during breakfast : 10, Parking:9, Room cleaning: 10
Personnel trying to speak Russian and very friendly In general hotel overpriced and old. Music is playing till 23.00
Tasteless and overpriced food. I was expecting a better room for the rate.
Luxury NO
Very nice location, very friendly staff.
very clean and nice staff nothing at all
the room was very nice. the staf was exellent. but the morning breakfast was a little cheap in my opinion. could have been better with a little more choice
Dirty place oposite the hotel the unbilded ground. Ugly view.
Close to the old town No special view
The location is good. The rooms are too dark, the pool is very small.
Very clean and convenient, comfortable and well presented. Staff pleasant and helpful. Breakfast a little disappointing. eggs were cold, and orange drink artificial.
Close to the town without being in a noisy area. Lovely building, great rooms, and really nice small pool. The day staff/manager was nice, but the overnight/late receptionist was a little unfriendly at times. Otherwise, a lovely place to stay.
good for parking, attractive building and room, well maintained not as convenient to the old town as we would have liked, small pool, no internet
The hotel staff, nothing was too much trouble Not enough tables for breakfast
Everything at Palazzo Vecchio was great! My wife and I stayed there for 2 days while visiting the Greek Islands and we were very pleased with the nice and helpful staff, and clean and well kept rooms. There was a wall being built around a planned parking lot for the hotel. This was not an issue for us though as we still managed to find parking near the hotel and we were upper in the morning for breakfast as the workers were beginning to work.
the hotel is in the city don't need a car. Nice food! Neibours a bit noisy and no beach around...
Excellent rooms, with ocean view and great balconys. Clean and comfortable, nice king size bed, places for the clothes, dresses. The restaurant was nice, although only for breakfast. Nice staff. The pool was nice and quiet. Close to the city, thats good. The spa and fitness center was not finished yet, unfortunetaly. They told us it will open next year... The kitchen at the room was great but it was not possible to make a dinner there, we didnt need it as we went to town eating at the restaurants, but if I had kids I would prefer ti make som dinner at the kitchen after the kids were going to sleep... that would be impossible.
The staff at the reception were great. All of them really helpful. Breakfast is very good with different kinds of styles (eggs and bacon, fruits, cereals, bread, etc.). Our room was very good and very clean and comfortable. The balcony was great also. When I had made the reservation by Booking, I had to pay for an extra bed because I have 2 children and the room only accepted 3 persons. But when I arrived there, I realised that we had a king size bed (for my wife and me) and another queen size (sofa) for the 2 children. So, I payed for something that was unnecessary.
The seaview
It is renovated in July 2009, very promising five star hotel near the center of Rethymnon. I suggest to rent a bike in order to enjoy the city. Stunning view from the balcony of all the suites. In total i suggest it without hesitation. The beach of Rethymnon is on the other side of the city. The beach near the hotel is poor, but i don't think that the hotel can do much about it.
seemed to have staff shortage, bar man disappeared a lot from the pool bar (only bar), left it unmanned, waited 20 mins for bar man in the morning to buy coffee, same in the afternoon to buy a drink, another 20 mins wait.
The apartment was very comfortable, great views of the pool and the sea, would recommend this hotel to family & friends.
Macaris is a lovely stylish hotel! Suites are very big and so nice decorated! Personel very polite and helpful !The view from verandas and from the roof garden just breathtaking!!
location and sea view
Rooms (in our case two suites with kitchen) are spacious, modern, with wonderfull balcony, fitted with all the necessary; Swimming pool area was sufficient during our stay but might be small if the hotel would be full. Breakfast is simple, staff is friendly, service quick. Parking is free, but in the street uphill. Hotel is difficult to find: one unclear sign on the main road, no sign on the hotel, which looks from the outside like an office building. On arrival our reservation (one double suite) was not available so we received two suites. As such nice, but we had hoped to have one suite with the children. Both nights the fuses blew which the second night couldn't be repaired so we had to move the children to the living in the other suite.
Everything in the hotel was perfect! We came across the most polite staff, the most amazing chef and overall it was a great experience!!! Great beach and nice view of the sea from the room!!(choose room with sea view) Slight renovation in the bathroom to match a 5* hotel
The wiati staff and front desk were very helpful and friendly. No irons to checkout. Air conditioning not available although it was warm out.
Very clean hotel: the cleaning ladies were there until very late and did their work very very good, relaxing enviroment: beautiful surroundings around the hotel and the "sister" hotel Creta Star": gardens and trees are fantastic and very clean and the view of some places in the hotel very nice, pleasant stuff (reception-restaurant-cleaning ladies-room service), extra tip the small pool, that make you feel like your home because the customers dont prefer so much! The rooms are a little old, but everything looks in perfect contition-colour-functioability, so it not a problem at all. Nothing to bother, maybe a small renvation at the pool area (more beautiful chairs-pool bar) that it would match with the perfect gardens around them! But not something 100% necessary.
Clean, quiet, nice set-up, handy. Limited wireless....
excellent location! Beautiful room! Very helpfful staff -
wonderful courtyard with a small pool, orange- and lemontrees, very friendly staff, central location, good wifi connection, nicely decorated rooms
Location was fantastic in the heart of the old town but near to the beach and the harbour.Our room wes very clean, tidy and the staff were great. The splash pool was fanatstic for an early morning dip.I would highly recommend this hotel we will be back there very soon!
The location of the hotel right in the center of the old part of rethymnion. The rooms have been upgraded with plenty of storage available. The grounds are very nice although a little squashed.
Very modern and stylish hotel with excellent service and great central location.
Staff at the hotel were excellent, particularly Eleni. It is located centrally in the old town of Rethymnon and is close to many of the sites. Room was small for 3 people. I was the 3rd person and slept on a sofa bed downstairs (split level room). Although the room had a kitchenette, washing up liquid, sponge and kitchen towels were not in room and had to be asked for to wash up.
Beautiful hotel!!!!!
Friendliness of staff: very attentive and professional. The room was spacious and well decorated. Excellent!
Everything, it was a lovely, quaint little place, very clean, and unique..only since it was winter season, the restaurant was not open...but it was a safe area and we could walk around easily at night. The only thing that happened that was wrong was the lady at the desk recommended a taxi cab who in the end ripped us off on the price by 25. euros...which is a lot when we are converting our money back into canadian...$200 for a taxi from there to the airport was unreal, i feel they should know about this.
Helpful staff, very good location for beach sights and night life
The staff was very friendly and helpful, the place is simply great! we stayed in the junior suite apollon and had a great staying there. there's no hook for the shower :-)
Old venitian mansion with high ceilings, completely redone with excellent taste. Location, personnel and service. Friendliness. Rooms on first and second floors without elevator. Probably difficult for handicapped guest
Excellent staff The hotel needs to be maintained to its high standards. The carpeting in the halls needs replacement. There was an odor of mildew in our room.
Room decor, central location, excellent staff
Friendly and professional staff. Great position and structure. The rooms are very properly furnished. Everthing was perfect. Thank you to everybody for the wonderfull holiday !!!! Arrivederci
Cleanliness is really good, location and swimingpool are great. There was activities, communications and also a lot of TV channels only in Russian and Germany. Very few in English. They should keep it more international if they want to keep as 5 stars hotel.
The desing of the room was very modern and the breakfast and dinner buffets were excellent. The swimming pool and the sunbeds inside the pool were realy rellaxing I would expect that the reception staff and waitresses to be at the same level of quality as the hotel standards...
A very new and good hotel as a base for seeing Central and Eastern Crete. Food was very very good and very reasonably priced. The experience would have been even better if the hotel had been aware of our booking. Booking.com is definitely not recommended. The floor space in the executive suite was limited. The suite was located next to the Children's play area and could have been very noisy had there been many guests in the hotel - last week of season therefore very quiet.
its very good hotel with a big pool, nice people working there, a lot of choice of food for breakfast, everything was clean and plus to everything free internet in the room. Very quiet and relaxing place!
A fantastic, extremely comfortable hotel with a personal touch. We were made to feel wonderfully special; a truly enjoyable experience.The hotel has been recently renovated and you can tell that renovation was treated with love, style and a bit of a class. The hotel is located in old town Rethymno, which is steps away from the tavernas but still situated in a quiet part. This hotel is recommended.
beautifully designed rooms and building in the center of the old town, very obliging & friendly staff, great breakfast
The room was beautiful! We were upgraded to the honeymoon suite which had a spa tub and beautiful ceiling mural. Breakfast was good but might be nice to have it in the courtyard or brought to room. Easy acess to bus and shopping.Thanks everyone for your commitment to Casa Vitae.
The hotel was small and comfortable. Quite nicely done up The hotel location was not exactly easy to find, but convenient though, as it is in the old town.
What an amazing hotel to stay in!! Hospitable and friendly staff. Relaxing and cozy. Delicious breakfast served in the hotel courtyard. A real germ!!!
casa vitae is a beautiful building and is tastefully decorated we found the shower uncomfortably small the air conditioning didnt seem to work properly and breakfast was arrangend by two people that were not able to put togeather a boiled egg some sliced bread and some pastry within an hour.also thought it was very over priced for what it offered.
Very charming hotel with perfect location in the old town of Rethymnon. Beautiful rooms. Nice breakfast with homemade Greek dishes. Friendly staff. In short, an oustanding hotel!
Stayed in one of the rooms in the annex building. It was cosy and nice and I'm pretty surprised to read other reviews stating otherwise. Breakfast was absolutely gorgeous and delicious. Definitely a 4* hotel, even more. I should have stayed longer...
Friendly personel and the site and location are excellent. No balcony.
Nice decoration, well-positioned, clean and quiet. No cleaning service at Sunday. Slightly overpriced as it could include breakfast at this price.
Wonderfoul place to live in! the sattelite tv.inside the rooms.could be better with more channels
Great family suite! My 5 friends and I could all stay together! Kostas(not sure on the spelling), the bartender was so nice and helpful!! Great pool!
Convenient location for a Rethymnon city break. A second key (with an odd magnetic fob to keep the electticity going) was needed by our group of 5 people, but none was available. This meant we either all stayed in at the same time, or woke up the others to get access to the room at night.
The outdoor pool was large and filled with fresh water. The lobby area was extremely large and open. The breakfast was very good.
The room was very spacious and clean. The pool closed at 6pm!
Friendliness of staff Small tv set in room. Good breakfast
Nice and clean, good location, good breakfast, friendly staff Room smelled of the disinfectant they use
everything was ok, we had a nice stay, the hotel staff was very kind and helpfull. this is my first choice for rethymno.bravo.
H εξηπηρέτηση των υπαλληλων ηταν ιδιετερη και μασ ακανε να νιωσουμε ανετα. πιστευω πως ισως στην εξηπηρετηση του bar στην πισινα να βελτιωθει λιγακι.
I though the hotel is overpriced for the standard of rooms. Shower was not very good. Slope in swimming pool is dangerous. People slipped so many times. Parking was also difficult. Service of staff was generally not very helpful. Could have been better. Apart from the Restaurant Manager.

Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less.

Cooking time is way off. Must bake for 35-45 min but then it comes out dry. Skewer test through middle doesn't work for doneness as there are corn kernels & scallions that make the bread "porous." Maybe if you baked in muffin cups the time could work, but not in a loaf pan. You can taste baking powder. Disappointing
Meh...not so much
This is our favorite corn bread. I use 1 cup fine ground cornmeal and 1/2 cup stone ground cornmeal. Use a good aged sharp Cheddar. We cook it in cast iron corn stick and muffin pans for a crispy outside.
I thought this was fantastic, except that it took about three times as long to finish baking as the recipe indicated. I added a smidge of melted butter to the top as soon as it came out of the oven. I served it with very flavorful chili, and it went well.
I thought this was very blah. I added a jalepeno and it still had little flavor. For all the fat and cheese, I would expect more payoff.
Bland and rubbery (from the cheese) in flat squares(from the jelly rool pan). What was I thinking to sere this for a party!
I so loved the fresh corn spoon bread which was delicious and so close to my spoon bread recipe that with the sweet fresh summer corn was a delight. Don't make any changes. Old corn would not work. Only change I would make would be a very, very slight addition of mustard. Dijon, but very slight as the fresh summer corn is sweet and very good on it's own.
I omitted the salt and the scallions and since i am located at a high elevation i had to increase the cooking time by an additional 8 minutes. With these alterations, the cornbread was great. Plus i used fresh white corn, it makes the difference.
Tastes dag nasty. I think the scallions are a bad call.
I am also glad I read the previous reviews: I omitted the salt (could add maybe 1/8 tsp), and increased the sugar to 2+1/2 tbsp. I also used frozen corn (microwaved for 3 minutes) instead of fresh, and since buttermilk is not a big thing here in Canada, I substituted 1+1/2 cups of 2% milk + 1 tsp cider vinegar, and finally, added 1/4 tsp of Cayenne pepper for a little zip. It turned out FABULOUS! I baked it in my toaster oven, and it yielded 24 mini-muffins plus one toaster-oven pan of cornbread. Yum, I would definitely make this again, it's sure to impress guests!!

:: The New Coin Magic of Dr. Sawa - Volume 4
larger image
The New Coin Magic of Dr. Sawa - Volume 4
Volume 4
1. Grade Up Coins: A quadruple transformation! Four large silver coins change, two becoming old Japanese coins with holes, each coin a different shape; the other two immediately grow into even larger coins.
2. 1 = 6: A strange math lesson: One coin splits into two, then splits again and again until there are half a dozen. Then, all six merge back to one.
3. Bad Tailor: A Sawa classic renewed. A coin penetrates a closed purse, goes back inside, then through the performers pocket, then back into the purse. Finally, the purse penetrates the pocket, with a great kicker finish.
4. Tornado Story: Five coins of different sizes represent a family, caught in a cyclone, with amazing results and a happy ending.
5. Ancient Earring: Four silver coins change into Chinese coins with holes, but thats mild magic compared to the subsequent double change that follows. Youve never seen an outcome like this!
6. Lovers: After 30 years, this is Sawas latest version of this amorous effect: Two coins are caused to cling together, defying the rules of attraction.
7. P.O. Box: Innovative magic with an Okito Box, as computer files (that look very much like half dollars) are repeatedly sent across cyberspace.
8. Policeman Heiji: This is Louis Falangas favorite routine on these DVDs. The audience agreed, as they gave it a spontaneous standing ovation. When you see the multiple payoff, youll agree.

Mumbai/Western Suburbs
The Western Suburbs consists of the Bandra (queen of the suburbs), Khar, Santa cruz, Juhu, Vile Parle, Andheri,Oshiwara suburbs of Bombay. The boundaries that this article draws for the Western Suburbs are somewhat artificial. Most people would include the suburbs of Northwest Bombay among the Western Suburbs, but that would cover too big a region. ContentsUnderstandThese are some of the oldest suburbs of the city. In particular, Bandra has existed as a separate town almost as long as Bombay. The area started its history as a bunch of fishing villages. Then it became home to a Christian population which set up its churches, orphanages, and monasteries. It later turned into a place where Bombay's beautiful people live, a status that it holds to this day. It is a very cosmopolitan place and does not have the rundown look of the other suburbs. It still has a lot of old bungalows. Bombay's only river, the Mithi, flows through this area and also serves as a sewage line. In the 80s, a well-intentioned attempt to set up a new downtown away from Nariman Point resulted in the establishment of the Bandra-Kurla complex. Most of the larger financial banks and companies moved to this place. This is a nice-looking place, but it was built by filling up the mouth of the Mithi river. This is said to have worsened the impact of the worst flood in the city's history on 26 July 2005. Bombay's airport is located in this district. Most hotels are located here. Many software and BPO companies have their offices in and around SEEPZ, Andheri. The western suburbs also boast of the Juhu beach which was cleaned and cleared of hawkers in 2006. These suburbs can get extremely crowded in the evenings, with nightmarish traffic snarls. Get inThis area is served by the Western Railway stations of Bandra, Santa cruz, Vile Parle, and Andheri. Bandra and Andheri are important junctions. The western harbour line terminates at Andheri. Bandra is also a terminus for long-distance trains. The Western express highway runs through the district, as does SV road (Swami Vivekananda Road). The Bandra-Worli sea-link provides high-speed connectivity from the downtown area. Connectivity from the Central Suburbs is, unfortunately poor. Getting in from Sion or Kurla is a pain, but with the development of the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli link road ("JVLR"). It is now a breeze getting in via Powai. Bus services are very good. Generally, BEST's "200 & 300" series serves the Western suburbs. See
BuyHill Road and Linking Road are lined with malls, stores, shops, and hawkers selling branded (and cheap) export surplus clothes. Linking Road also has large branded stores.
EatChains can be found throughout Bandra, such as Mocha, Barista, McDonalds, KFC, and Cafe Coffee Day. Lots of new restaurants and themes keep popping up on Turner Road, Gaspar Enclave, and Union Park. Bandra and Juhu are packed with eateries, with new ones opening every day it seems. Most are reasonably priced with decent food, but ask for a menu before you sit.
There are a lot of Udipi and Punjabi Restaurants too. For non-vegetarian tandoor you could try Jai Javan at Linking Road opp National College. You can find a ton of street stalls of questionable hygiene standards. If you don't have a cast-iron stomach, look for one that uses bottled water, with servers wearing plastic gloves.
SplurgeAll the airport hotels have excellent quality restaurants, particularly those at ITC (a hotel chain well known for its restaurants, like the world famous Bukhara in Delhi).
DrinkBandra is also known as the 'Restaurant and Pub district' of Mumbai with many options for different budgets and taste ([4])
SleepThis is a very expensive area and it is a tough job to get good budget hotels, especially anywhere close to the airport. If you can, you are well advised to choose a hotel farther away to avoid paying through your nose.

A couple of nights ago as Brian and I were climbing into bed - listening to the cold wind blow around outside, thankful for our nice, warm blankets - he asked me an interesting question.
Brian said, "If Adam and Eve never ate that apple, do you think people in Michigan would walk around naked?" Just the thought gave me goosebumps! *********************************************************************************** Actually? If Adam and Eve never ate that apple, I think we wouldn't experience winter at all. Oh, the snow is beautiful - to be sure. But the extreme cold? It's got to be a result of the fall! *wink*Thursday, February 07, 2013

Pompeii's Frisky Frescoes Revealed | |
You may have to learn a whole new set of Italian vocabulary words if you plan on traveling to southern Italy. After years of excavation and restoration, archaeologists have unveiled a series of frescoes with explicit sex scenes in the ancient Roman city of Pompeii. Part of a restored public bath, the titillating paintings can be viewed at one of the world's most-visited tourist sites, near Naples.
Vesuvius Heats Up
There is a lively debate among scientists regarding the purpose of the erotic frescoes. Some claim they are advertisements for sexual services available on the upper floor of the baths. Others believe the explicit paintings were meant to entertain, and theorize that they could even have been used to label lockers underneath them. Regardless of their ultimate significance, many visitors will certainly enjoy the eye-popping erotica.
Hot, Hotter, Hottest
Red Light Spa
Pompeii was destroyed in AD 79 when Mount Vesuvius erupted and covered the entire city in ash. But the volcano wasn't the only hot spot in the resort city. In an ancient thermal bath just outside the old city walls, an astonishing series of erotic frescoes were discovered in the 1980's. The 2,000-year-old structure had elaborate mosaics, a stucco ceiling, and an indoor waterfall. The extant frescoes were painted in gold, green, and red, and show graphic scenes of various sex acts.
House of ill-repute or not, the thermal baths of Pompeii were certainly steamy. Past the changing room was a cold-water pool called the frigidarium, where bathers could swim in a pool surrounded by sumptuous mosaics and frescoes. Then a series of hot rooms followed, each slightly warmer than the last: the tepidarium, the laconium and the caldarium. The water was heated by furnaces stoked by slaves also known as fornacatores. The word derives from "fornax," Latin for "furnace" and also the root for "fornix," which is Latin for "brothel."
Taking advantage of the "scandalous" Roman art, tourist brochures will refer to the bath as the "Red Light Spa", although they say it was most likely not formally a house of prostitution. According to an official of the Pompeii archaeological heritage department, even though the frescoes depict lively sexual activity involving numerous partners, "there is no element that would make one think the upper floor of the Terme Suburbane was a brothel." It's likely that eroticism in Pompeii, as portrayed by the diverse array of sexual activities depicted in the frescoes, reflected the ancient Romans' much more relaxed attitude toward sex. Whether it be the Villa of Mysteries, the House of Vettii, the tomb of Vestoria Prisco, or the Pleasure Spa, there is plenty to suggest that the citizens of Pompeii were a sophisticated, cultured people who enjoyed fine art, architecture, and the pleasures of the flesh.
