Tuesday, September 20, 2011 - Dmitry, Artur and Erik
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
We went on location with Dmitry Vorobev, Artur Lafek and newcomer Erik Garba. I was interested to see how Erik would get on, as we already know what great performers Artur and Dmitry are. The scene starts with Artur and Dmitry moving some rustic and attractive furniture around, and then as they sit it seems that Dmitry has some stiffness in his shoulders. Artur, ever the willing helper, offers a massage to Dmitry's shoulders, but it's not long before Artur's hands move to rub Dmitry's chest too, and then his mouth goes down to kiss him too. As they kiss Artur rubs Dmitry's groin quite intensively, and then his hand goes in the pants and pulls out a nice big swollen cock and a big pair of balls. Dmitry's cock is big and hard, and Artur wanks it, never taking his eyes of that beauty. Soon Artur cant hold back and goes down on Dmitry's cock sucking it into his mouth. He really enjoys sucking and it fully into it when Erik arrives with the last of the chairs. Seeing Artur on his knees working on Dmitry's rampant rod Erik quickly drop his coveralls, to reveal that he is hard too. Dmitry grabs his cock and starts to wank him as Artur continues sucking. Erik bends forward and starts to kiss Dmitry, long and hard with tongues duelling as Dmirty wanks him. Then Dmitry leans over and takes Erik's big dick in his mouth and sucks it. Artur stands and drops his clothes, so that Dmitry can suck him too. Dmitry loves having two cocks available for sucking, in turns about. But Erik wants in the action too and sits between Dmitry's legs to take his cock in his mouth as Dmitry continues to suck on Artur's. Erik doesn't limit himself to sucking only cock, he moves down and starts to suck Dmitry's toes as well. Artur, though, has other ideas and Erik lays down with his legs up and Dmitry climbs on top,so that both their asses are spread and available. Artur takes his cue and starts to rim those tight holes. What a great view we get of Artur's handsome face eating ass. But soon he wants more and slides his cock deep into Erik's ass, with Erik sucking on Dmitry's throbbing cock. Then Dmitry wants some of that ass for himself and changes places with Artur, slamming his dick deep into Erik's eager hole. It is all looking great as the dick plows Erik but Artur wants even more. He wants Dmitry's hole too, so he sits and Dmitry slide his ass over Artur's rigid dick. He really rides that cock for all he is worth and Erik pushes his cock into Artur's open mouth. Erik leans forward and kisses Dmitry, who is really riding Artur well. Dmitry is ready to be spit roasted now and Artur rams his cock in that open hole and Erik shoves his cock in an open mouth. Dmitry is really getting it good now. As Artur continues to fuck Erik is ready and spurts his hot load all over Dmitry's face, Dmitry then sucks on the spent cock and Artur moves around and unloads on Dmitry's face as well. Then his cock goes into Dmitry's mouth as well, as Erik pushes his head down on it. Then is is Dmitry's turn and he blows a nice creamy load over himself. The guys then kiss each other to finish things off very nicely.
Pavol Zbynek is 18 and lives in Prague. He likes sports, sex and hockey. Pavol is a very nice guy who, when he first came to us was prepared to get fucked, but wouldn't suck, kiss or do anything else. How things change, now he does it all. But this is his newest erotic video. He starts of stand and opening his jeans to reveal a very nice cock. Lifting his tee shirt to reveal his body Pavol rubs his chest and starts to wank his cock. His cock gets very hard and points skywards as he continues to caress his chest. I must say he looks very good, with a nice body and a smattering of hair. Pavol then turns around to show us his pert, hairy ass., which looks even better as he bends over and opens his hole, as well as pushing his hard cock back for a good view. Sitting down and removing his shoes and socks Pavol wanks that rock hard cock some more. Then he goes on to his knees and bends over to show his hot ass again. Finally Pavol reclines and wanks himself to a very nice climax before going to the shower. What a very erotic video this is, Pavol always does a great job.
Jirka Buzek is a great looking guy who we invited in for a massage. We had previously done a spanking with him. He has a wonderfully happy personality, with a really good smile. The massage starts with Jirka stripping off for us and showing us all his equipment before he climbs on the massage table. Then the masseur arrives and starts his work. He focuses on Jirka's back at first and then on his shoulders and arms, working his fingers into the muscles. Next it is on to that sexy ass, with his hands rubbing into the crack as he works. Jirka as hairy legs, which look great as they are coated in oil. The masseur works the legs and pulls his hands up inside Jirkas thighs, his fingers just touching the balls as the move. Then he works on the feet before moving back to focus on that ass. His hands spread the ass for us and then he gets Jirka up on his knees and pushes his cokc and balls back through his legs, playing with the cock some. Oil is dripped into Jirka's ass crack and a vibrator finds its way to his hole, sliding in and gently fucking that hole. Things are going very well so a bigger vibrator is used on that ass. That is a tight fit, but Jirka takes it well, so the two vibrators are alternated in his tight hole until the black one stays in as Jirka turns over. Time to wank and the masseur starts to work on Jirka's stiff cock wanking it hard and fast until he shoots his load. The last view is of Jirka lying there, totally spent. He did very well indeed in this massage, but decided that he didn't want any more work. Luckily he quickly changed his mind and has been back for a very nice full contact scene which should be online soon.
Tomas Pasek is aged 18 and lives in Prague. He is a student who enjoys arts, football and tennis. Tomas has a lovely face, framed by a emo hairstyle. He looks great in this stills shoot, with a very fit body. He does some great poses as we seem him naked with a flaccid cock, and later as it gets rock hard and stands proud for us. It is certainly a big one. Tomas also knows how to spread the cheeks of his sexy ass, as he shows us a tight little pucker. Very nice indeed. Tomas is sure to be a big hit. I hope we can do some more with him, in the meantime I will look forward to seeing his video shoot next week.
Oh what a great treat. Jan Dvorak, surely one of our all time favorite models on the site. These are pics from a shoot that Jan did some years ago, which have been remastered and presented here in better quality than was possible in the days of dial-up connections. Jan was always such a wonderful looking guy, as these pics will attest. I still get emails about him so many years later. I hope you enjoy this opportunity to revisit Jan in his remastered state.

2002 Dönnhoff, Riesling (Qba):
So much better than on release with a bright, stony, cherry pit delivery and a vinous yet etched, riesling core. Still acid driven but such perfect balance as to make that edge a laser-like focus for the flavors and minerality of the wine. Really lovely.
2004 Palacios, Bierzo Pétalos:
YoUnG, big, layered, exuberant, rustic, grapey, intense . . . suffice it to say a good wine showing very primary with lots of potential. Fun now but I suspect its best days are a couple years out. Quality well above its price point (about $15).
2003 Giacosa, Nebbiolo d'Alba Valmaggiore:
Youthful, balanced, complex and ripe, leaving no doubt of its variety or pedigree. A wine of style and substance today or tomorrow. One of the few European wines from the vintage that seem to have not only survived but gained from the heat.
2002 Luneau-Papin, Muscadet Clos des Allées:
Giving up some of its cut now (but by no means, all) to breadth and texture across the palate; still beautifully scented and full flavored with lots of mineral complexity and a bright, stone driven tone that seems to ring through the wine like a bell. One delicious bottle of juice.
2000 Belle Pente, Pinot Noir Estate Reserve:
Bold, rich without being tiring, gently oaky and full of promise; this too is showing young while delivering an expansive but delineated fruit character and the earthiness that seems to be this producer's signature. And even at this size, with 14.3% alcohol, no distortion – quite something.
2000 Nikolaihof, Riesling Steiner Hund:
Alpine meadow when the bright sun warms the flowers, the grasses, the stones and yet the air temperature is still nippy; cool well-water that has been infused with unripe pineapple, lime, green chili's and just the faintest hints of fresh thyme, ginger and marjoram; the tarn below is crystalline, wholly still, endlessly deep and, in one glance, reflects the entire landscape, with the sky above patched by feathered cirrus . . . each sip.
God bless the stone dog.
Best, Jim

With the recent news of Brett Favre's agent, Bus Cook saying the former quarterback is in great enough shape to play better than several others at the position, let's play the who would you rather have game. It's time to compare Favre himself verse the most polarizing QB since he was running around on the field, Tim Tebow. Before we get to the poll, let's compare the two.
Brett Favre- Your all time leader in wins, passing yards, completions, attempts, passing touchdowns, interceptions, wins, starts, retirements and sending pics of his you know what to a woman who looks like a younger version of his wife.
Tim Tebow- The man will make you a better person for spending five minutes with him. Two time National Champion, Heisman winner, holder of several NCAA records and one playoff win. Plus he turned down the Russians offer to play football! So therefore a true American!
Vote below on who you would roll with. Brett Favre in his current state and age or Tebow?

Service Dog Dilemma
Phobia bars guide dog from Mass. store

Since eyebrow threading is not a necessity, I think it's alright. If the supermarket or bank wasn't letting her in that would be a different matter.

It is unfortunate that the shop owner has a dog phobia. However, what would have been the response if the shop owner had a phobia related to wheelchairs, or other mobility device needed by the individual? Under both the ADA and the Department of Justice rules, the shopper and her service dog should have been allowed in to the store.
That is a hard call but I think the right to refuse service to anyone is a business owner's prerogative.
The problem today is that legislating and enforcing every little thing is going to result in the discrimination of someone at the expense of another.
I am not sure what the solution is and I'd be interested to see what others might propose.
You are correct in that a business owner has the right to refuse service to anyone—with the caveat that refusal cannot be based SOLELY on membership in a protected class. i.e., I can't bar you because you're in a wheelchair you just happen to be in a wheelchair, but the reason I'm barring you is because I don't like your face. or somesuch.
And note that Ms. Noorani was not outright refusing service to Ms. Maloney on account of her blindness, but on the condition of the presence of the dog, which would prevent her from doing her job properly. The possibility of accommodation exists; if Ms. Maloney were to leave the dog at home and return to the shop with a human companion, there would be no issue.

The law already addresses this. If someone has a disabling fear of dogs, BOTH disabilities should be accommodated. This can be by having them on opposite sides of the store or having the employees go to the back room while the service dog team is there. Most, if not all, service dog handlers try to work with those whose fear or allergy isn't disabling by ding the same things I mentioned above.

What's next? A phobia of black men? I know a few people who have that. A phobia is not an excuse for discrimination, anymore than any other mental condition is. Someone who believes he's St. Paul and that all women must be relegated to the back of the church still doesn't get to tell women they can't enter his store without wearing covering their heads. Mental conditions can be treated, and a dog phobia is something that a person can at least choose to have treated. Schizophrenics often don't recognize they have a problem.

Unfortunately, I have run into people in stores and employees in stores with fears about dogs. Fortunately, we worked our way around any problems. My dog issued no problem to them and they respected my right to be there and kept their distance from us and let others handle my business. I think ALL places of businesses should do the same. We are not taking our dogs shopping, out to eat, etc. Our dogs are allowing us the ability to shop, dine out, etc. Unfortunately, most of my problems have been with people from foreign countries. If they do have a problem with the laws in America regarding service dogs, then go home to their homeland and run their business. If they want to run a business in the USA, then abide by our laws.

As with all life impacting phobias, it's time for therapy or life becomes very restricted. I appreciate that the service dog care giver was sympathetic to the dilemma, but the shop owner needs professional help to gain back control of her phobia and her life.
Submitted by mark | October 19 2010 | Permalink
The law is the law. The store owner can ask the service dog owner not to enter, but if the service dog owner wants to enter she has the right. That is clearly spelled out in the Individuals with Disabilities Act. What if you were Native American and the store owner had a phobia about indians? Would the store owner have the right to refuse entry? Of course not and if she did she'd be out of business pretty quickly.
For better or worse, the law exists to protect individuals with disabilities, no matter what they are. You can't follow the law on a case by case basis!!!

Perhaps those with fears should appproach the dog whisperer. As a guide dog owner I am only just starting down this road and have not yet faced problems like this - apart from family members who have fears - for the same reason as this lady. Fear isn't easy to conquer, but it is possible with a little patience on both parts.

I"ve worked a large dog in NYC for almost 15 years. I also work with someone who has a terrible phobia about all dogs. I consider her to have a disability as severe as mine. Perhaps others might not see the situation this way. We have worked it out to both our satisfactions. When I will be in her work space I let her know beforehand. Many times she's out of the office. When she's not, she closes her door and other staff members let her know when I've arrived and departed. I see it as mutual accommodation.

What I see as a bigger problem is people without disabilities getting a "service dog" designation for their pet. This is happening more and more and can be purchased on the internet. I personally know of 2 people who are not disabled in any way and have done this simply because they want to take their dogs to restaurants, stores and on planes. I think this hurts the legitimate service and guide dogs and their owners because many of these pets are not properly trained for service.

For those who hold others in judgment and are prejudiced against people with hidden disabilities, Traveling Blind by Susan Kreiger can shed some light on how the un-educated public treats us.

I'm hoping the shop owner in question will seek counseling.
This quote appeared in an article regarding the incident in the local newspaper: " "Always I've been afraid," Noorani said, explaining that she harbors a memory from when she was a young girl in India, when a relative had to undergo a series of painful rabies shots after being bitten by a dog. "
The woman wasn't ever bitten or attacked by a dog. A relative was bitten. The shop owner has an extremely irrational fear, and it seems hopeful that something like that might be addressed by therapy of some type.

Last Man Standing 3 - ROUND 2 / Matches 1-18
Polish up that hefty set of brass balls, ladies and gentlemen, because they're about to be plucked out of your pink little hands by the freshest crop of entrants. Out of pure masochistic pleasure and a loathing for spending my free time wisely, Last Man Standing lives on through year 3 in what promises to be its most massive cycle yet.
A planned 360 contenders (not counting pussouts) over 4 rounds. 456 new pieces of artwork. 1 winner. And not one 1-on-1 battle. Shit is going to get intense.
The complete listing of LMS3 Round One matches can be found here:
Topic: Outbreak
The topic, as always, is completely open to interpretation, allowing for you to visualize your concept through any subject matter you deem fit. This is an illustration-based contest, and you will be expected to turn in a completed piece that stands on its own without the aid of a description. Both traditional and digital mediums can be used, but the majority of your piece must be painted/drawn with little use of photography and 3D modeling.
Round Breakdown (links to discussion threads):
- Round 1 - 360 competitors in 72 matches of 5 / 72 advance
Entry threads / Matches 1-24 / 25-48 / 49-72
- Round 2 - 72 competitors in 18 matches of 4 / 18 advance
- Round 3 - 18 competitors in 6 matches of 3 / 6 advance
- Final Round - 6 men enter, one man leaves...
Judging: Every round will be judged by an incredibly talented group of judges... the list is still being finalized, but it will be a relatively static panel throughout the competition. Each piece will be judged based on technical execution, creativity in the interpretation of the topic, and overall impact. All judges decisions are final. No whining!
Also, a point system will be implemented from here on out. Points will be awarded for 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last place for each match.
Judging Panel:
Aleksi Briclot
Rob Carney
Brian Despain
Dan Dos Santos
Irene Gallo
Jon Foster
Gregory Manchess
JS Rossbach
Important note about the thread layout:
There is one match in every post. The entries correspond as follows:
User1 vs User2 vs User3 vs User4
Image1 is User1
Image2 is User2
Image3 is User3
Image4 is User4
Users who have pussed out will not be listed to avoid confusion.
Rusty was also moved from match 17 to match 12 randomly to fill one of three pussout slots.
Without further ado, round two.

NYT: Big storm requires big government
**Written by Doug Powers
Just a couple of days ago, the New York Times endorsed Barack Obama for re-election. Hurricane Sandy has given the Times a rare opportunity for a follow-up endorsement while pointing out how dangerous Romney/Ryan could be at times like these. Here's the title of yesterday's NYT editorial:
"A Big Storm Requires Big Government"
Forget that we don't even know the extent of the loss and damage from this storm yet, or what the federal government's role will end up being or even how effective (or not) it will prove to be — bring on more big government.
But big government can also be a huge hindrance to local efforts. Don't take my word for it though, ask President Obama, who, during hurricane prep, offered to briefly loan local officials the key to temporarily unlock the rules & regs handcuffs that inherently accompany big-government and bloated federal bureaucracy:
"My message to the governors as well as to the mayors is anything they need, we will be there, and we will cut through red tape," Mr. Obama said. "We are not going to get bogged down with a lot of rules."
There will be plenty of time to get back to being bogged down by a lot of rules and red tape later. More rules and red tape if the New York Times gets its way — and those usually aren't assets when it comes to emergency response.
One of the many problems with the "big government" that the Times has endorsed is that it doesn't just sit in the bullpen waiting to be called in when a "big storm" hits. It needs things to do in the meantime — lots of things. Big government likes to stay occupied.

During our last pregnancy, DH and I had started preparing for Aidan's arrival. We bought nursery furniture, decorated the nursery and had a shower shcheduled. We lost Aidan a couple of weeks before the shower so we didn't have to worry about returning gifts or anything. But we do have the nursery that I look at all the time.
Before we got pregnant this time, DH and I decided that we wouldn't actually prepare for this baby at all. We actually worked out a big plan that we would register for everything, but not buy anything or have a shower until the baby arrived safe and sound. My DH was going to go buy the necessities off our registries before me and baby were released from the hospital.
But lately my friends have been getting more anxious to plan a shower for us, and I have been reading all the What to Expect books that have the long lists of everything you should have ready for baby before even leaving for the hospital. DH still doesn't want prepare or have a shower, but he says he will agree to that if I decide I want it.
I'm just torn. On the one hand, I hate the idea of buying and receiving things that we might not ever get to use. But I also hate the idea of DH having to run around buying all the necessities in those first few crazy days. And it doesn't help that I don't even really know what the necessities really are.
Any opinions or experiences would be so appreciated!

There is also this strange sequence at the beginning of the file, but I have no idea what it means. Each element of this sequence sums up to the same value, or more precisely 4+6 and 5+7 are always 255, but I don't know if this leads me anywhere...
edit: seems like I found something - my hint for the first part: don't read too many hints they can be quite confusing. This one applies also to me, although I also had to make this experience on my own

If you don't know what, when, how and where – or perhaps also why – then our FAQ's will help you find the answers.
What is the difference between the "Bavarian State Opera" and the "National Theatre"?
The name "Bavarian State Opera" describes the company, the ensemble, the people who appear on stage at the various performance sites. Apart from the National Theatre, the Bavarian State Opera also performs in the Prinzregententheater, the Cuvilliès Theatre and does guest performance tours in Japan. The "National Theatre" thus describes the performance venue, the building on Max-Joseph-Platz.
Evening Box Office
When does the evening box office open?
The evening box office opens one hour before curtain time.
Where is the evening box office?
The evening box office is located at Max-Joseph-Platz 2.
What is the telephone number of the subscription office?
Tel: (+49/89) 21 85 19 30
Fax. (+49/89) 21 85 19 03
Where can I renew my subscription?
Subscriptions are automatically renewed for the respective next season unless they are canceled in writing by April 15 of the previous season.
Where is the State Ballet? Where can I find the administration and office of the Ballet?
The Bavarian State Ballet is headquartered at Platzl 7.
Cast List
You can obtain the current cast list from the telephone announcement service under (+49/89) 21 85 19 18, or you can access the current cast list on the Bavarian State Opera's home page. The cast list is also displayed at the respective performance site, both at the National Theatre and on the "Heute" ("Today") poster on Maximilianstrasse.
How can I find out about cast replacements?
Names of cast replacements can be accessed here on the Internet. You can also subscribe to our newsletter "Cast Changes" – free of charge, of course.
When will I find out if my Festival ticket order can be filled?
Mail orders for Festival tickets are processed as of February 1. As there are a great number of orders, it may take up to eight weeks to process them. In any event you should have a reply from us by April.
Lost and Found
Where is the lost and found office, and when is it open?
The stage doorman (Maximilianstrasse, stage entrance) collects lost and found items and holds them in safekeeping. Lost items can be claimed there.
Guided Tours
When and where do guided tours of the opera take place? How much does a tour cost?
Guided tours of the National Theatre (lobbies, auditorium, stage) take place almost every day at 2:00 P.M. They last around 60 minutes, and tickets cost EUR 6.00. They can be obtained at the opera shop and at the daily box office. Information and reservations for group tours can be acquired by calling (+49/89) 25 54 08 05.
Is it possible to reserve a table at Käfer's restaurant for the intermission?
The restaurant on the ground floor opens one hour before each evening performance and accepts reservations under the telephone numbers (+49/89) 416 88 10 or also until 6:00 P.M. under (+49/89) 29 16 06 88.
Where are the intermission lounges in the National Theatre?
Apart from the restaurant on the ground floor, you will find bars and buffets on the parquet, 1st balcony and 3rd balcony levels.
Will you also send vouchers to recipients? When and where are they obtainable?
Yes. You'd like to leave the selection of the performance to the recipient? In this case, the perfect choice is a voucher. While you were previously tied to specific amounts, now you can purchase a flexible Opera Voucher: you determine the face value to be issued.
These vouchers are valid for one year and cannot be redeemed for cash. Please send mail orders to: Bayerische Staatsoper, Tageskasse, Postfach 10 14 04, D-80088 München, Germany. Kindly include the full amount of the vouchers you would like to purchase and indicate how you would like to pay (credit card, bank withdrawal, check).
Main Entrance
Where is the main entrance of the National Theatre?
The main entrance of the opera house is at Max-Joseph-Platz 2.
How is the staging of…?
You can get a first impression of each staging on our Internet pages: there you will find press reviews and pictures of the production. You also have an opportunity to read opinions expressed by people who attended the performance of the production in question. If you still have trouble finding it, the users of our blackboard can surely help.
Annual Preview
When is the annual preview published?
The annual preview for the following season is published in mid-April of the previous season.
Where can I pick up pre-ordered, pre-paid tickets if I arrive late?
As a rule, the evening box office remains open until 10 minutes after curtain time. After that, tickets can be picked up from the admission service ushers.
Is there a waiting list for sold-out performances?
No, we don't maintain a waiting list. You can, however, check out the current ticket status in the Internet, where all available tickets are listed.
Can I exchange tickets?
Pre-paid tickets can fundamentally not be returned. Simply put tickets you cannot use yourself in our ticket exchange.
How does the seat and standing room numbering work? Are seats 102 and 104 side-by-side?
All seats (parquet, balcony, gallery) on the stage left side of the auditorium have odd numbers, with even numbers on the stage right seats. That means seats 102 and 104 are side-by-side. This way, your seat number will help you get your bearings.
Ticket Status
Will the ticket status again be clearly displayed, as it used to be, on a sheet of paper?
The current ticket status is again being displayed on a sheet of paper at the ticket windows at the daily box office.
What is the telephone number of the ticket status announcement service?
You can call the announcement tape with the latest ticket status information at (+49/89) 21 85 19 19.
Advance Ticket Sales
How far in advance can I buy tickets?
It is possible to order tickets in writing for any performance – these orders will be processed as of three months prior to the performance date. You will receive a reservation confirmation in writing. Orders with credit card number (including validity date), blank checks or bank withdrawal forms can be more quickly processed. A supplemental charge of EUR 1.50 will be added to the price of each ticket ordered in writing.
Telephone ticket sales (Tel.: (+49/89) 21 85 19 20), on-line Internet ticket sales and sales at the daily box office begin two months before the respective performance. Should the performance be on a Sunday or holiday, box office sales will begin one weekday before that. A supplemental charge of EUR 1.50 will be added to the price of each ticket reserved by telephone or on the Internet.
Should you decide to go to the opera at the last minute, you always have a chance to buy any still available tickets at the evening box office. The evening box office opens one hour before curtain time.
When do advance ticket sales for next season begin?
Advance ticket sales for next season begin, just like normal ticket sales, for written orders three months and for telephone orders or box office purchases two months before the respective performance date.
At how many different places can I buy tickets for the Bavarian State Opera?
At the daily box office of the Bavarian State Opera (Marstallplatz 5) at the daily box office of the Bavarian State Drama Theatre (Max-Joseph-Platz 1), at the daily box office of the Prinzregententheater (Prinzregentenplatz 12), and at Central advance ticket sales (Marienplatz underground level and Stachus sub-underground level).
Are no tickets whatsoever sold for closed performances?
There is also a possibility of picking up residual tickets for closed performances at the evening box office.
Can tickets be ordered by e-mail?
E-mail orders are treated just like mail orders. You receive a confirmation or cancellation after the processing of the written orders has begun.
Can I select my own seat in the Internet?
You can choose your own seat on the Internet. Just click on "your order" and pay with credit card or bank withdrawal. If you already have a customer number, then you save yourself the trouble of having to type in your address.
Can I pay with an EC or credit card?
Yes. All major credit cards, EC cards and checks are accepted in payment.
New Control Number Process for On-Line Credit Card Ticket Booking
Previously we simply required your credit card number and the expiry date of your card for credit card payment (on-line mask as of one month before the performance.)
The leading credit card providers, such as MasterCard, American Express and VISA, have now agreed on an additional requirement for credit card payment, which makes payment on the Internet even more secure.
Entering the credit card control number raises the security standard for your order.
The credit card control number is a 3 to 4-digit number printed (not embossed) on your card. Unlike your name, validity period and card number, it cannot be found on the usual payment receipts. This additional information makes sure that no fraudulent credit card data, taken, for example, from a discarded receipt, are illegally used.
This is why the control number will not be stored in the memory of our system, but will have to be entered for every order.
Where will I find the control number on my credit card?
MasterCard, VISA, Diners Club: the last three digits of the number in the signature space on the reverse side of the card.
American Express: the four-digit number on the upper right above the embossed card number on the front of the card.
During on-line purchases the instructions will also indicate this additional safety feature.
Monthly Performance Schedule
When are the monthly performance schedules published? How can I get one?
The monthly performance schedules are released well in advance of the start of sales. The monthly performance schedules are available for the taking at the daily box office and the National Theatre, and we will be happy to send you one by mail. Just call (+49/89) 21 85 10 25.
MVV (Public transport)
Can we travel to and from the theatre on the MVV?
On the day of the performance, holders of regular tickets (except the monthly ticket) are entitled to use public transport provided by the Münchner Verkehrsverbund (MVV). This service starts at 3 pm respectively three hours before the performance commences and ends with the closing hour of the MVV.
Can I park at the National Theatre?
Parking spaces around the National Theatre are severely limited. The parking garage at the opera offers persons attending the opera a special opera price of € 10.00 valid from 6:00 P.M. to 8:00 A.M. The parking garage is open from 6:00 A.M. to 2:00 A.M.
When are the programs for the various productions released?
Two to three days before the première.
Where can I find posters and yearbooks?
Posters and yearbooks can be purchased at the opera shop in the National Theatre.
Disabled Persons
Are there reduced prices for disabled persons?
Yes. You can get detailed information here.
Seating Plan
How does the seating plan with the letters work? What about the prices?
You can find out the price for a specific seat by the rating of the individual performance (letter, e.g. H) and the seat category (e.g. I for the best category or VIII for standing room, score-reading and listening seats). If a performance is rated H, and you book a seat in Category II, your ticket will cost you EUR 74,-.
What reduction do students receive?
There are different ways for students to acquire reduced-price tickets: in advance sale, standing room, listening and score-reading seats cost 50% of the normal price, residual tickets at the evening box office will be sold around 10 minutes before curtain time for EUR 10,-. For events in conjunction with the Young Audience Program this reduction also applies to advance sales. Don't forget: always bring your student ID with you – you may not purchase tickets for third parties.
"Young audience" card
The "Young audience" card costs EUR 20,- per season and enables school children, students and young people doing military or community services to buy tickets for "Young Audience" performances for EUR 8,-.
Daily Box Office
When is the daily box office open?
The daily box office is open from Monday through Saturday from 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.
Theatre vacation:
The Bavarian State Opera's daytime box office will be closed from August 1 through August 25. The daytime box office on Marstallplatz then reopens on September 1. The Call Center will be at your service again from August 16 ([49/89] 2185-1920).
Do I have to line up for reserved and pre-paid tickets?
As generally quite a few tickets have been reserved, you will also have to get on line to pick them up. However, you can avoid the queue by printing the tickets yourself at the ticket pillar (see below).
Ticket Pillar
Customers who order tickets on-line or by telephone can now print them out on the ticket pillar in the box office hall on Marstallplatz.
To print out your tickets, you'll need:
1.The Order Number and
2.The Order Code.
You'll find both numbers on the confirmation for the on-line booking, or else they can be communicated to the customer placing a telephone order.
Follow these instructions on the ticket pillar display:
1."Please enter the Order Number"
Use the keyboard on the ticket pillar to enter the 7-digit Order Number and then press the "confirmation" key.
2."Please enter the Order Code"
Use the keyboard on the ticket pillar to enter the 6-digit Order Code and then press the "confirmation" key.
After that the tickets will be printed out.
Please bear in mind that tickets purchased by direct debit cannot be printed out until one day after the purchase.
Tickets can only be picked up from the ticket pillar during business hours at the daytime box office from 10:00 A.M. to 7:00 P.M.
Are there public toilets in the opera house during the day?
No, there aren't.
Beginning and End of Performances
When do the various performances begin, and when are they over? When are the intermissions?
You can check the beginning and end of the various performances as well as the intermissions here in the Internet. They are also published in the monthly performance schedule.

Indy 500 FAQs
Q. In what year did the first Indianapolis 500 take place?
A. 1911. Ray Harroun won in the Marmon "Wasp." Has the Indianapolis 500 been an annual event since 1911?
Q. Why was the distance of 500 miles selected?
A. Having decided to dispense with multi-race programs and concentrate on one major race for 1911, Speedway leader Carl Fisher and his partners envisioned an event that would appeal to the public by lasting approximately seven hours between mid-morning and late afternoon. A distance of 500 miles was settled upon, and Ray Harroun won the first Indianapolis 500 in 1911 in six hours, 42 minutes and eight seconds.
Q. What is the distance of one lap around the oval?
A. 2.5 miles. The track has four distinct turns and straightaways, a layout unchanged since the facility opened in 1909. The front and back straightaways are 5/8th of a mile each, with the "short chute" straightaways between Turns 1 and 2 and Turns 3 and 4 at 1/8th of a mile each. Each of the four turns is 1/4th of a mile long.
Q. What is the degree of banking in the turns?
A. Each of the four turns on the oval is banked at exactly 9 degrees, 12 minutes, the same dimensions as when the track opened in 1909.
Q. Which driver has won the Indianapolis 500 the most times?
A. Three drivers have won the Indianapolis 500 four times each: A.J. Foyt (1961, 1964, 1967, 1977); Al Unser (1970, 1971, 1978, 1987) and Rick Mears (1979, 1984, 1988, 1991).
Q. Who is the youngest winner of the Indianapolis 500?
A. Troy Ruttman was 22 years, 80 days old when he won the 36th Indianapolis 500 on May 30, 1952. Q. Who is the oldest winner of the Indianapolis 500? A. Al Unser was 47 years, 360 days old when he won the 71st Indianapolis 500 on May 24, 1987.
Q. What is the name of the trophy presented to the winner of the race each year?
A. The Borg-Warner Trophy, which was commissioned in 1935 by the Borg-Warner Automotive Company. In 1936, Indianapolis 500 winner Louis Meyer was the first driver to receive the trophy.
Q. Why does the winner of the Indianapolis 500 drink milk in Victory Lane?
A. Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Louis Meyer regularly drank buttermilk to refresh himself on a hot day and happened to drink some in Victory Lane as a matter of habit after winning the 1936 race. An executive with what was then the Milk Foundation was so elated when he saw the moment captured in a photograph in the sports section of his newspaper the following morning that he vowed to make sure it would be repeated in coming years. There was a period between 1947-55 when milk was apparently no longer offered, but the practice was revived in 1956 and has been a tradition ever since.
Q. Have women competed in the Indianapolis 500?
A. Nine women have raced in the Indianapolis 500: Janet Guthrie (1977-79), Lyn St. James (1992-97, 2000), Sarah Fisher (2000-04, 2007-10), Danica Patrick (2005-11), Milka Duno (2007-09), Ana Beatriz (2010-12), Simona de Silvestro (2010-12), Pippa Mann (2011) and Katherine Legge (2012).
Q. Have any rookies won the Indianapolis 500?
A. Yes. Eight drivers have won as Indianapolis 500 rookies: Ray Harroun (1911, inaugural race), Jules Goux (1913), Rene Thomas (1914), Frank Lockhart (1926), George Souders (1927), Graham Hill (1966), Juan Pablo Montoya (2000), Helio Castroneves (2001).
Q. Have there always been 33 cars in the starting field of the Indianapolis 500?
A. No. After 40 cars started in the inaugural race in 1911, the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association (AAA), the sanctioning body at the time, mandated a formula for limiting the size of a starting field according to the size of the track. It was determined that the safe distance between each car spread equally around a course would be 400 feet, thereby limiting the 2.5-mile Indianapolis Motor Speedway to 33 cars. Speedway President Carl Fisher, however, placed a limit of only 30 cars for the "500" between 1912 and 1914 and did not adopt AAA's 33 maximum until 1915. Although there had been numerous occasions between 1912 and 1928 when the field was not filled, the allowed number was increased during the Depression years to 40 cars between 1930 and 1932 (only 38 made it in 1930) and further to 42 in 1933. The maximum has been at 33 ever since 1934, although extenuating circumstances expanded the field to 35 starters in 1979 and 1997.
Q. What is the fastest official lap ever turned during the month of May?
A. 237.498 mph by Arie Luyendyk during qualifying May 12, 1996. Luyendyk turned a lap of 239.260 during practice May 10, 1996. It was the fastest unofficial lap ever at the Speedway, as practice laps are not official.
Q. Who was the first driver to turn an official lap of 200 mph during the month of May?
A. Tom Sneva, who turned 200.401 mph and 200.535 on Laps 1 and 2 of his qualifying run on May 14, 1977.
Q. Has any driver ever won the Indianapolis 500 three times in a row or more?
A. No. Five drivers have won the race two years in a row: Wilbur Shaw (1939-40), Mauri Rose (1947-48), Bill Vukovich (1953-54), Al Unser (1970-71) and Helio Castroneves (2001-02).
Q. Who was the first driver and team to earn $1 million in one year for winning the Indianapolis 500?
A. Emerson Fittipaldi and Patrick Racing, whose winner's share was $1,001,604 in 1989.
Q. Has any driver raced in the Indianapolis 500, Brickyard 400 and United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis during their career?
A. Yes, Juan Pablo Montoya and Jacques Villeneuve. Montoya won the 2000 Indianapolis 500 in his only start in that event, drove in the United States Grand Prix from 2001-06 and raced in the Brickyard 400 in 2007-12. Villeneuve raced in the Indianapolis 500 in 1994-95, winning in 1995, drove in the United States Grand Prix from 2000-03 and 2006, and raced in the Brickyard 400 in 2010.
Fourteen drivers have raced in the Indianapolis 500 and Brickyard 400: John Andretti, Geoff Brabham, A.J. Foyt, Larry Foyt, Robby Gordon, Sam Hornish Jr., Jason Leffler, Montoya, Max Papis, Scott Pruett, Tony Stewart, Danny Sullivan, Jacques Villeneuve and J.J. Yeley.
Tomas Enge, Justin Wilson, Takuma Sato and Jean Alesi each have raced in the Indianapolis 500 and the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis.
Scott Speed and Jacques Villeneuve have raced in the Brickyard 400 and the United States Grand Prix at Indianapolis.
Q. Who created the term "The Greatest Spectacle In Racing?"
A. Alice Greene coined the phrase in 1955.

Farthingales, hoops, crinolines and bustles were all names for a variety of undersupports for women's skirts over a period of some 400 years, from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries. By the eighteenth century, the typical hoop like the one pictured was made of linen fabric panels with several cane hoops sewn into it. The hoops were relatively flat at the front and wide at the side to emphasise the hips, producing a very flat 2-dimensional silhouette, rather like a hobby horse (as seen in the woman dancing in the coloured print below). Some women made their own hoops, and the cane could be bought from local haberdashers such as Zachariah Shelley of Congleton whose 1728 shop inventory included a quantity of "hooping cane" worth 2s 6d".
Crinolines of the 1860s were much rounder and bell-shaped than eighteenth century hoops. They were made of metal circles, often watch wire, attached to tapes, forming a cage-like structure. The wearer could move easily and sit down as the metal circles folded up like a concertina. However, they were very cumbersome contraptions, so it was of course easy to knock into furniture or to catch the crinoline on projections, resulting in mishaps and accidents.

Thanks to my friends Isaac Chavel and his charming wife Irene, I got motivated to visit, with them, 2 wineries near Arad this past Wednesday: Midbar and Yatir. It's been some years since I have visited Yatir. As everyone should know by now, winemaker Eran Goldwasser is unquestionably a master of the craft and one of the genuine, veritable, guiding lights of the Israeli Kosher wine scene. The wines he produces at Yatir are across the board superb - especially his reds which is pretty clearly where his passion resides. He was kind enough to pour, at Mr. Chavel's request, two vintages of his varietal Petite Verdot, the 2008 and 2009. The 2008 is excellent - a wine which expresses the true "violets in the nose" nature of PV without being too overtly tannic or woody which might be easy to do given any winemaker's attempt to extract PV to it's fullest and then match that with a slew of new French oak. The 2009 takes that experience to another level. Meanwhile Eran's respect and understanding of PV as something special in Israel shows also in his Ya'ar Yatir 2008. Even fuller and more profound than his PV varietal wine, it is the only Bordeaux style blend in Israel that includes 38 % PV along with 52% Cabernet Sauvignon. The Ya'ar Yatir 2008 is delicious, but I imagine will be more and more impressive over the next 5+ years.
Well I'm working backwards here, because Yatir was our afternoon visit. In the morning we stopped at Midbar winery and I caught up with Yaakov Oryah who is as ebullient as Eran is understated - what an amazing day overall. Yaakov's passion lies more in the production of his entirely unique portfolio of white wines made from grapes grown at Mitzpe Ramon, although he is also turning out unique and interesting reds from grape sources also located in the Negev. For a small winery Midbar has a wonderful tool for ultra quality white wine production - a press found normal in wineries 5-20 times Midbar's size. I should know - it was the press I purchased and used the first 5 years at Recanati - a Defraceschi which I knew based on the recommendations of friends from top notch California wineries as well as Aldo Conterno of esteemed note in Peimonte. Anyway we spent about 3 HOURS at Midbar with the highly curious, expressive, fascinating Mr Oryah. He has produced a Semillon/Sauvignon blend that takes one immediately on a voyage to Bordeaux - an even more specifically to Graves where the dry whites are the wines to drink in the summer, at the beach, or with fish. Frankly I don't know anyone who has even tried to make such a wine in Israel, let alone succeeded at it so admirably. One of the highlights at Midbar, too, was tasting two vintages of a single wine His "44" white which features Gewurtztraminer as it's main component and dominant flavor - especially in the nose. The 2011 (did I get the vintage right, Yaakov?) was delicious and floral soapy rose petalish in that special Gewurz way, and the 2012 just amped up the floral Gewurz character, and in particular the rose petal, to another level. Gewurz in too warm a climate (and lets face it, Israel is not the Haut Rhine) can be bitter and overly alcoholic, and the avoidance of either of these traits is where Yaakov's blend of 5 different varieties in the "44" takes the Gewurz into a novel direction of delicacy and finesse.
I could go on, and I will on Facebook if Isaac ever sends me over some of his no doubt breathtaking photos of the entire day. Ciao for now, got a Purim party to attend!

|Origin: Commodity
Firm Investment Style: Mixed
Entity Structure: Fund
Created by a legislative body in 1854, the Texas Permanent School Fund was initially funded by an appropriation of US$ 2 million. The money was to be for the benefit of Texas public schools.
Fast forward to 1953 when the U.S. Congress passed the Submerged Lands Acts that relinquished to coastal states all rights of the U.S. navigable waters within state boundaries. A key source of funding for the fund is its investment returns and oil, gas and mineral royalty payments and leases from the land.

Administrative duties related to these assets reside with the permanent fund's investment office, which is a division of the Texas Education Agency (TEA). TEA is under the guidance of the Texas Commissioner of Education, appointed by the Texas Governor.

The Royal Hideaway is a member of exclusive hospitality consortium Leading Hotels of the World, and as such is one of the most luxurious properties in the area. It features upscale rooms with high-end amenities, a full-service spa with great treatments, several pools, and the best food around. The beautiful grounds, overall sophisticated vibe, adults-only policy, and beautiful beachfront location a short drive from shopping on Playa's Fifth Avenue make it one of the most attractive options for couples in Playacar.
The Grand Velas -- set on over 80 acres of mangroves that meet a postcard-perfect beach of white sand and turquoise waters -- is one of Riviera Maya's most sophisticated properties. It features 491 top-notch suites spread out in three different buildings (two family-friendly, one adults-only), all with their own stunning pool complexes, gyms, and restaurants. The property is so huge guests will need to take a three-minute shuttle ride from the farthest building to the beach, but the hotel's spotless service, outstanding food, luxurious spa, and wonderful amenities make it a great pick for discerning (and well-heeled) travelers.
As one might expect from the ultra-luxurious Banyan Tree brand, the Banyan Tree Mayakoba is one of Playa del Carmen's most sought after resorts. All of the 164 villas feature sleek Asian-inspired decor and Mexican textiles -- as well as walk-in showers, plunge pools, walled-in grass lawns, patios with hammocks, outdoor bathtubs, and fully stocked bars. The grounds, white-sand beach, and lagoon-like pool blend seamlessly with the surrounding nature. When you consider the high-end spa, plethora of outdoor activities -- such as golf, snorkeling, and eco tours -- and the fantastic dining, it's very hard to find anything wrong with this property. Only the Rosewood Mayakoba can compare, but the rooms are arguably a little nicer here -- though Rosewood has the superior spa.
Rosewood Mayakoba is a gorgeous, peaceful retreat within the resort community of Playa Del Carmen, set on a mile-long stretch of beach. Though it features an extensive children's program, the resort largely attracts couples with its serene atmosphere, upscale restaurants, and spa. The 128 suites feature attractive contemporary decor -- picture clean lines, white walls, and rich woods -- as well as high-tech amenities and private outdoor plunge pools. They have an open-air vibe, with many floor-to-ceiling windows, and the overwater lagoon suites have swim-up access. Plus, suites include freebies such as Wi-Fi, fresh fruit, and bottled water. Seaweed debris along the beach keeps the Rosewood from being flawless (although they diligently attempt to keep it clean by sending staffers to rake it away), but otherwise this hotel is top-notch -- for guests willing to pay top dollar. Some may prefer the rooms at the Banyan Tree, but the spa is nicer here.
This adults-only, luxury all-inclusive property with 507 rooms appeals to both 20- and 30-something couples. A particular draw of this resort is its proximity to the nightlife of downtown Playa del Carmen, especially bustling 5th Avenue, with the party-oriented will appreciate. But the gorgeous stretch of beach and the sophisticated rooms with two-person jetted tubs means romantic-minded couples will be pleased here as well. The range of features is, unsurprisingly, extensive, including seven restaurants and seven bars, an Olympic-sized pool, a wedding center, a spa, and daily entertainment.
Few properties in Riviera Maya offer the level of privacy the Fairmont Mayakoba does. The 401 contemporary rooms are set amid tropical forests and lagoons, and feature modern amenities, upscale bathrooms with glass-enclosed showers and separate jetted tubs, and nice views, either of the lagoons, the forests, or the ocean. Granted, sprawling grounds mean guests will need a golf cart or one of the BMW bikes the hotels provides to move around. Property highlights include a high-end spa, a number of dining options, five attractive pools -- including a 10,000 square-foot main pool, a kiddy pool, and an adults-only pool -- and a great location on a white-sand beach a few minutes north of Playa del Carmen. However, it's not an all-inclusive resort and there are a few pesky fees.
The Palace offers a high-end all-inclusive experience on a gorgeous stretch of white-sand beach 15 minutes south of Playa del Carmen. It's the smallest, newest and most upscale of the three properties in the Barcelo complex, with 756 beautiful rooms surrounded by gorgeous pools and manicured grounds. All rooms are Junior Suites or Suites with pretty bathrooms featuring separate showers and tubs. There's a lot for everyone here, from couples to families to groups, but those who want to party will have to walk to the hotel's sister properties next door, and non-Club Premium guests should expect to pay for Wi-Fi.
This adults-only resort lives up to the Excellence name, offering the standard amenities of the luxury chain: multiple attractive pools, numerous dining options, dozens of activities, and a solid spa with beachside treatment huts. The abundance of marble and columns throughout the property might be a bit too ostentatious for some, but it's definitely impressive -- as are the rooms. The rooms feature Jacuzzis and open bathrooms, which shouldn't be a problem for most visitors choosing an adults-only resort. All have terraces or balconies, and a gorgeous stretch of beach is right outside the door.
With a minimum guest age of 18, anyone looking for a romantic getaway can book the 433-room Secrets Silversands Riviera without fear of rambunctious kids or noisy families. The spacious, clean rooms and suites have crisp, modern decor with flat-screen TVs (though no iPod docks) -- but be on notice that the Swim-out Suites are actually a short walk and then swim out. The beach is smaller and rockier than many hotels in Cancun, but the incredible pools that sprawl the entire property offer ample swimming space (think lazy river meets infinity pool). Just don't plan on venturing out too much: The hotel has a fairly remote location -- which is a perk if you want to avoid the tourist-party mecca of the Hotel Zone.
The former estate of an Italian duchess, the ultra-luxurious Esencia oozes Mediterranean elegance and style. With just 29 rooms spread over 50 acres, the property feels intimate and exclusive, and shows a thorough attention to detail in everything from the services to the decor. Upscale, contemporary rooms are housed in two-story buildings set amid lush tropical grounds, and feature lots of high-end amenities, including pre-loaded iPods, Molton Brown toiletries, and in some, even private plunge pools. The gorgeous spa, excellent restaurant, and relaxing pools with ocean views are highlights.

Around 50 kids from the Boys and Girls Club and the On The River Teen Committee were on site Wednesday morning, helping get ready for this years On The River event. On The River is a weekend long beach party, in downtown South Bend, with all the proceeds benefiting the South Bend Center For The Homeless. The kids were pulling weeds, removing rocks, and grooming the sand so a fresh layer can be placed on top.
Teen Committee CoChair, Meghan Hickey, is excited to help transform the site into a beach. "We are pulling weeds, working on the sand," Hickey said, "pretty much making a beach paradise."
Boys and Girls Club member Bryanna McFadden is happy to get to work with her friends and support a good cause. "This is actually my first year doing this," McFadden said, "and we are doing this for community service and also to give back to The Center For The Homeless and also to give back to our community."
All of the kids who participated in the clean up will receive a free ticket to On The River Teen Night or Family day. On The River takes place August 2nd and 3rd. For more information, visit On The River 2013. FOX28 is a proud sponsor for On The River.

Members of the transgendered community say, after losing another member to violence, they are ready for the violent acts against them to stop. Detroit police discovered a body inside an alley trash can Friday night off Woodward Avenue. Members of Detroit's transgender community say the victim was one of their own. EDITOR'S NOTE: Detroit police have confirmed this. Researchers and a local filmmaker are working to raise awareness on the violence directed towards transgendered people here in Metro Detroit. Filmmaker Dream Hampton says when trans women are murdered, it often involved brutality, dismemberment and torture. One mother whose trans daughter, Shelly, was murdered two years ago calls the acts an "epidemic" and that trans people are "treated like they're not even humans."VIDEO: Click on the video player above to hear more from Hampton and Shelly's motherHampton is producing a documentary sharing Shelly's story in her mother's quest for justice. Meanwhile, the Ruth Ellis Center provides a safe space for LGBTQ youth. Jerry Peterson, the center's executive director, says the center works with approximately 100 transgendered youth every year, and that many have been forced to the streets to become sex workers to survive. Peterson says a lack of understanding about the transgendered community can lead to violence, so he explains what it means to be transgendered, saying, "Our biological sex assigned at birth may be male, but who we understand ourselves to be, our hormonal balances, everything that happens inside, we understand ourselves to be female - or the opposite."
More questions are also addressed in the question-and-answer session with Fox 2's Alexis Wiley. You can watch that video in the video player above.LINK: Click here for more information on the Ruth Ellis CenterThe center is located at 77 Victor St. in Highland Mark, Mich.
