Costume from "The Wooden Prince"
Philip Prowse
The Wooden Prince, a dancing-play in one act, was inspired by Bartók's interest in folk music and folk lore. The wooden prince of the title is a model, created by a human prince to attract the attention of a princess, but a malignant fairy, wishing to keep them apart, brings it to life and the princess falls in love with it. Fortunately the fairy takes pity on the prince and, in true fairy-tale manner, all ends happily with the lovers reunited.
The production was influenced by the Chinese Peking opera, a theatrical form in which stories are told through movement, singing and complex, often highly acrobatic, movements. The costumes convey character and roles to the audience - thus the wavy patterns on the Fairy's costume are associated with power while the attached flags at the back signify hard kao armour, and the 'armour' is also indicated by the overlapping scales on the breastplate of the costume.
The costume is superbly authoritative, not just in scale, with its large headdress and wide skirt, but in colour, using bold, primary blue and red with black and metallic fabrics. The variety of fabrics breaks up the surface - black floral Lurex, silver woven with tiny silver floral pattern, areas of blue overlaid with waves of black braids, and subtle touches of deep red. Given the costume, the role was somewhat static, but the impression of movement was conveyed by the black braid waves and by the lighter fabric used for the flags, which streamed out behide the dancer or moved subtly when she was still. The front panels are covered with individually applied 'scales', executed in several different black and gold Lurexes, interspersed with the silver floral brocade, which also 'move' as they catch the light. Despite the complexity of the design, the costume never feels fussy; the decoration is so controlled that all the elements are clearly defined.
Prowse was a brilliantly inventive designer, and the appliqué panels and use of different materials to divide up a surface are characteristic of his work. Although he usually designed for the intimate space of Glasgow's Citizens' Theatre on very small budgets, he was equally capable of working on a large scale in opera houses, and this costume would have registered clearly in the vast spaces of the London Coliseum, where the ballet was performed. Its scale and colour 'spotlit' the character of the Fairy, and established her dominance over the drama.

Director Joanna Grace from Icon Films describes filming at the BBC Archive Centre in Perivale, London, for a One Show film about the night BBC Two failed to launch.
The schedule of the opening night of BBC Two on April 20th 1964 was filled with comedy, music and celebratory fireworks live from Southend Pier. But due to a massive fire at Battersea Power Station, Television Centre was plunged into darkness.
The countdown to launch turned into a countdown to disaster and the News team at Alexandra Palace had to step into the breach at the last minute as Television Centre was unable to broadcast.
What was broadcast that night was not thought to have been recorded because of the power cut, until a mysterious tape was discovered at BBC Kingswood Warren in Surrey in 2003.
And what a tape! It shows the first few minutes of that night's broadcast; a Reporter called Gerald Priestland, dressed in unusual attire for the News, a V–neck jumper, reporting with great calmness as things went wrong around him. The result was an unintentionally humorous piece of broadcasting that wouldn't look out of place in a Monty Python sketch!
Without the discovery of this tape by people working for the BBC a key night in British television broadcasting history would have been lost forever.
And thanks to Nick Watson at the BBC Heritage Collection we were able to film the actual spool during an interview at BBC Archives in Perivale. See the clip below:

Interview at the BBC Archive Centre with Gyles Brandreth
Despite its modern exterior, once inside the temperature controlled vaults at Perivale you couldn't escape the nostalgia and history that fills the shelves. We chose one of the vaults that holds some of the oldest reels.
We wanted to create an atmosphere of 'hidden treasure' as a backdrop to talking about the tape that was thought to be lost to the Nation, and as a location it was absolutely perfect.
Just glancing along the shelves the labels on the metal cans tell of countless programmes made by the BBC stretching back to the 1950s, each one a time capsule in its own right. It was a privilege to film at such an unseen BBC location, and one of such historical importance to the country.
BBC2 Failure to launch was broadcast on 17th April on The One Show, BBC1.
We wanted to create an atmosphere of 'hidden treasure' as a backdrop to talking about the tape that was thought to be lost to the Nation, and as a location it was absolutely perfect."

Genre: Regency Period, England
Signet's dazzling new star Patricia Oliver adds another jewel to her crown with AN IMMODEST PROPOSAL (4). A beautiful and fabulously wealthy young widow eschews her father's attempts to arrange a second stifling marriage by insisting on wedding a young and vigorous man who will provide her with the children she so desperately wants. Love, of course, is not the issue, so how will she find the right man? Fortunately, her devilish cousin has just the answer-a dashing military man in need of a lot of money. Although readers will relish this fiery love story, many will find their hearts stolen away by the lady's sinfully handsome rogue of a relative, who more than deserves a book of his own.

Shenandoah planners reject proposed slaughterhouse
By Alex Bridges -- email@example.com
WOODSTOCK -- A Mt. Jackson man's efforts to build a chicken slaughterhouse met opposition from neighbors and the Shenandoah County Planning Commission on Thursday.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend the Board of Supervisors deny a special-use permit requested by Edwin and Dana Wilson who want to build and operate a 600-square-foot slaughterhouse at 4154 Conicville Road near Pleasant View Road. The site for the proposed slaughterhouse lies adjacent to several homes and Pleasant View Church.
"I just don't like the idea," Charles Coleman said at the public hearing on the permit request, who expressed concern about keeping the animals corralled and the environmental impacts of the facility.
Planning commission members echoed some concerns raised by speakers, including whether the county could limit the number of chickens the slaughterhouse could process at any given time, and keep the owner from expanding the plant in the future.
Edwin Wilson explained to the commission the slaughterhouse would process up to 200 free-range chickens per month. The process includes plucking, eviscerating, cooling and packaging the poultry. Customers could buy processed, packaged poultry from the facility, Wilson said. The property already features farming operations and Wilson said he would feed fowl with corn grown on his farm.
Residents who live near the site expressed concern to commissioners about the potential impacts of the operation on the watershed, including Painter's Run which flows through the Wilson property. Speakers raised concerns about whether the operators of the facility would keep the chickens contained and some people alleged that turkeys have roamed off the property and into the road on occasions. Neighbors also expressed concern over the odor that could eminate from the facility.
Jill W. Griffin, who operates Inanna Kennels in Mt. Jackson, told the commission she once drove on the road adjacent to the Wilson farm and nearly struck a "stream" of guinea hens that had walked from the property into her path. Griffin also questioned the use of water by the facility and then the impact of the effluent released by the slaughterhouse.
Katherine Foltz, of 234 Bauserman Lane, adjacent to the proposed site, also expressed concern for the stream.
Wilson responded to questions about whether he had the finances to start up and run a slaughterhouse facility, saying he had the money to do so.
As Zoning Subdivision Administrator Joyce Fadeley explained a U.S. Department of Agriculture inspector would need to remain on site for any slaughtering operation. A question arose over the cost to the operator for the inspector's services and Wilson told the panel the agency charges only for the slaughtering of 400 chickens or more.
The Virginia Department of Transportation has required the property owner to create a new entrance to the facility south of the current ingress to remedy an issue of sight distance, according to Fadely. In reference to the proposed facility's distance to Painter's Run, the site lies approximately 300 feet from the stream or 100 feet from the 200-foot buffer.
The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality rejected the option to allow the facility to collect the blood from the carcasses and store it in a 1,000 gallon tank, Wilson told the panel. Instead, the agency has recommended the process call for collecting the blood and composting the liquid with the offal.
At least one planning commission member questioned what state or federal agencies would monitor the slaughterhouse operation for its impact on the environment, the nearby stream, the creation of odor and making sure the animals did not run free from the facility.
After the public hearing, commission member Mike Davis suggested that, given some concerns about the proposal and lingering questions about agency oversight, the panel table the permit request. But before he could make a formal motion, member Leon Smith reiterated concerns posed by speakers and then made a motion to recommend supervisors deny the permit request.
"I don't see the need for a lot of small chicken slaughterhouses," Smith said, adding that larger, combined operations would be easier to monitor.
After a second from member Hilda Vann the panel voted unanimously on Smith's motion.

Sabotage - Demo 2012
Seeing a band live before hearing recorded material always sets the bar in a strange location, it is hard to make a judgement when you hear recorded material if you know band live is shit or if they are exactly what you want to hear. Sabotage is a mixture of Easy Way Out and Desperate Times, chances are if you don't know who these bands are, you don't live around Ontario or a few North Western States. Regardless, Sabotage played their first shows a little over a month ago with Agitator on a weekend tour. The band played well, nothing overwhelmingly incredible, but good nonetheless, soon after they released their demo tape. Knowing the guys in the band, the style of music they have put onto this demo makes perfect sense and believe me when I genuinely say this is the kind of hardcore I want to listen to. In a world where more often than not a band either plays an extremely punk style of hardcore or a beat down style, and I use the term beat down very loosely, it is hard to find a good balance which most audiences can be appeased. Sabotage does this perfectly in my opinion, with the perfect middle ground of fast pissed riffs, straining, agressive vocals and heavy mosh parts. A three song demo is more bold than one would think, considering you have three songs to show everyone what you are about. The demo had truthfully a very fuzzy sound to it considering it was only put on cassette and the official digital copy is a cassette rip. It does somewhat cheapen the effect when thinking that this was attempt to make things sound more "raw" but regardless the music is what is important. The demo drives, hard and heavy, with no filler (obviously) and no bullshit. I like this demo a lot and look forward to Sabotage making more music. Its fun music that will make you want to pit, period, plain and simple.

As I've said before if you are a good parent bring your kids to shows I personally get a kick out of seeing all the happy smiling kids. I really don't see anything worse at shows than I see at my kids little league games. Every week there are going to be drunk adults. Lots of swearing, and even the occasional skirmish. I also see other parents let their younger children run amuck. They are covered in dirt,and bruises, but I guess that is part of being a kid
I wish I was the headlight on a northbound train.

Cute for fuzzy dogs
posted 6 years ago
This butterfly bow is really cute and would be awesome for a fuzzy dog. My only concern would be leaving it on a dog without supervision because they could eat it... not fun. Overall I like this design and as long as you watch your dog when they are wearing it then it is perfect.
Pros: really cute style
Cons: dogs can eat them

One of the hottest rumors in the past few weeks is the Dallas Cowboys' interest in Johnny Football. The sophomore sensation out of Texas A&M is arguably the most maligned prospect in this draft class. Manziel may be the most marketable prospect of all-time and Jerry Jones is known for making a big splash in the draft. NFL Network draft guru Mike Mayock has the Cowboys selecting Manziel and he believes that Jones may not be able to contain himself.
Despite having arguably the worst defense of all-time last season, the interest in Manziel seems to be true. ESPN's Todd McShay reported that Manziel is one of the top players on their draft board. As Cowboy fans have seen in recent years, Dallas sticks by its board no matter what. Many had a third-round grade on Travis Frederick last year, but the Cowboys saw him as a first-round pick. That being said, the Cowboys drafted Frederick after they traded back with the San Francisco 49ers. FoxSports reported that the Cleveland Browns nor the Oakland Raiders will draft Manziel in the top-5 and that means that he could very well go on a free-fall if he passes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
If Manziel falls into Dallas' lap, it may be hard to pass up on the in-state prospect. Sure his game is unorthodox and he has some baggage with him, but the kid is a playmaker. He is a workaholic and he is willing to do whatever it takes to elevate a team to the next level. Dallas has Tony Romo, but it is time to build for the future. Romo is 34 years old and he has already had two major back surgeries. Drafting Manziel would be an excellent long-term investment for Dallas. Given the right cast of players around him, Manziel has all of the ability in the world to succeed at the next level.

"Day after day, innocent people are being deported, interrogated, and tortured," Sascha Konietzko yells through a bullhorn in KMFDM's "Terror," a track on their most recent album, Nihil. "Fundamentalist forces are undermining the integrity of liberal and democratic political structures/Radical anarchists, fascists, and terrorists are responsible for the violence."
Not to undercut the song's powerful political message or anything, but Konietzko wants you to know that on some level he's trying to be funny. "It's got this comical, propagandist aspect that may not seem comical if you don't see the band," muses KMFDM's bandleader. "But it's like a book; you have to read between the lines to really get the gist of it. Sometimes there's a huge misunderstanding about what we actually mean and where we stand politically. But we're artists, after all, and we don't need to be politicized. This is all about entertainment. Nothing is so serious that you cannot crack a joke."
And then there are the practical concerns of song composition. "I like to use bullhorns," Konietzko continues, "and what are you gonna do, stand with a microphone and a bullhorn and shout about how much you love someone? It's better to say something like our societies are saturated with blood lust, sensationalism, and violence."
Despite this question of seriousness, it would seem that lately the members of the Chicago-based industrial outfit KMFDM does have much to laugh about. Emerging from the Hamburg underground in the mid-1980s to become one of the preeminent acts on the American independent Wax Trax! label, KMFDM (an acronym for Kein Mitleid fr die Mehrheit, which means "no pity for the majority" in German) was one of the first bands to legitimize the combined use of heavy guitars, synthesized samples, and disco rhythms. Setting a standard for creativity in the studio and high energy on-stage, KMFDM is considered a pioneer in the genre that later made U.S. industrial bands such as nine inch nails and Ministry famous. Now, eleven years and seven albums into their career, KMFDM is finally attaining wider recognition with their best-selling disc to date, Nihil (Latin for "nothing").
But Konietzko denies that his band is gaining popularity. He also denies that KMFDM creates industrial music. He even denies being in a band (he calls it a "project"). "I wouldn't call it a sudden popularity at all," he contends in a phone interview from Rochester. "We've always progressed and developed at our own pace. It's been a continuous growth based on a loyal fan base."
As for industrial music as a genre, Konietzko says he doesn't see a major leap in popularity there either. "It's not really that industrial has become more popular," he notes. "It's more like nine inch nails has become more popular and shed light on what's going on in the genre. The music that's selling by the millions is grunge rock -- these bands trying to copy that Seattle sound -- and, of course, the pop stuff like Michael Jackson and Madonna. I think nine inch nails just made a really good record at a time when it hit a nerve, and that created a little bit of attention for what's going on in the underground camp."
Nihil itself is a good record that hits a nerve. Its mechanically precise dance rhythms, distorted and swirling metal guitar loops, and searing vocals create an ultraheavy marriage of industrial and techno staples. The melange is nothing new, either for this band or for countless others, but KMFDM blends these elements in a way that is more accessible than many of their fellow industrialists. While endlessly compared to NIN and former Wax Trax! label mates Ministry, KMFDM's use of techno rhythms, gospel-diva choruses, and horns on Nihil is more reminiscent of My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult (a band KMFDM has toured with and with whom they've become good friends). Some songs on Nihil, such as the sexy "Juke Joint Jezebel" and strangely optimistic "Trust," are dance-oriented ditties; others, such as the potent "Search & Destroy" and the darkly twisted "Flesh" ("Inside this noise is a weak and godless soul/There's a rusty halo on my head/Fill this hole/Suck this soul/I'm the thing I can't control"), offer fast-paced industrial fodder. Lead vocals alternate between singer-guitarist Raymond Watts's deep, hoarse groan, singer-guitarist En Esch's commanding caterwaul, and producer-keyboardist Konietzko's bullhorn blast. The messages also alternate, depending on which vocalist-lyricist takes the mike.
"We all have our topics," Konietzko points out. "Raymond's are more dark, more about himself. En Esch is the more twisted and bleak. I don't want to write about myself, about emotional bullshit A I write about what I see on TV and read in the news. You know, yeah, the world is fucked up, but let's have a good time."
Keep in mind that, at least according to Konietzko, KMFDM isn't exactly a band. He and Esch are the cornerstone of a project that has had a constantly changing lineup over the past decade. "His role has changed over the years, as has mine, in terms of the songwriting and execution," explains Konietzko. "He's a very valuable part of it, but he chose not to participate so much this time in the actual writing. I guess the humorous side and political side is my influence -- it's the way I see things."

Cross, an architectural technology major, serves as the president of the Alfred State Architecture Club, and president of the Alfred State Chapter of the American Institute of Architectural Students (AIAS). He is also a member of Phi Theta Kappa and Tau Alpha Pi national honor societies, the WINS Club, and the Alfred State College Honors Program. Cross has also participated in soccer intramurals on both ASC and AU campuses. The Honeoye Central School graduate is the son of Pamela and Lynden Cross, Bloomfield.
Lorow, a senior in the liberal arts-humanities associate degree curriculum, has served as a student ambassador and head tour guide for the ASC Admissions Office; as co-editor of Ergo, the student literary magazine; as contributing writer to the student newspaper Tor-Echo; and is a member of the International Club. She is a member of Phi Theta Kappa honor society and a recipient of the Eleanor Graves Memorial Scholarship, which is given to an outstanding student in the School of Arts and Sciences, as exemplified by character, citizenship, involvement in college community activities, and scholarship.
The Genesee Valley Central School graduate (who also attended Marathon High School in the Florida Keys, and Titusville High School in Titusville, FL), is the daughter of Michael Lorow, Angelica, and Lou Ann Thurston, Titusville. She is the granddaughter of Betty Whitehouse, Titusville.
SUNY Interim Chancellor Dr. John B. Clark, who recently honored 275 college students from SUNY campuses throughout the state with the 2008 Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence, noted: "A rigorous three-part process that begins at the campus and evaluates each student's performance not only in the classroom, but also in the athletic arena, the art studio, and the community, is used to determine our winners. This year's recipients of the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence are among the most gifted and talented students in the entire SUNY system and I congratulate them, their families, and the campuses for all their achievements."
The Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence was created to recognize students who have best demonstrated, and been recognized, for the integration of academic excellence with accomplishments in the areas of leadership, athletics, community service, creative and performing arts, or career achievement.
The awards are given out annually to students who earn a grade point average (GPA) of 3.78 or higher (out of a possible 4.0) and who record a significant contribution to their campus or local community.
Each year, campus presidents establish a selection committee, which reviews exemplary members of their college communities who are graduating. Nominees are then forwarded to the Chancellor's Office and are subject to a second round of review. Finalists are then recommended to the Chancellor to become recipients of the Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence.

Burn Run 5K Recap!!
Sorry these are the only photos I have and it's not even of the race it's of the new mizuno cold weather shirt I got and Garmin stats. Let me say a few things about this shirt while it was expensive it's amazing. Most of the other long sleeves I had tried were super tight in the shoulders or showed even lump this was different is thin but it's warm. The fabric uses your body and sweat to create heat to keep you warm. This shirt is amazing no chafing issues and it def kept me warm I recommend.
As for the race I felt like there were so many more people this year which is awesome cause it helps support burn victims and there needs. Going into this race I didn't really have a lot of expectation it would be a great race to PR but I also knew I was still sore from crossfit and I haven't been running regularly. That morning it was about 20 degrees and raining when I got up which always scares me cause that's how I sprained my foot last year was running in the cold. Also this was a race I wasn't sure I was going to have any support at the end cause I hadn't heard from mike. I got there will plenty of time to spare changed into my shoes and put on my mittens. First pit stop was the bathroom. After that I took a quick lap around the firehouse to see if I knew anyone then made my way to the starting line. It was about 5 mins before the sirens went off signaling the start of the race when I got a text from mike saying he had over slept. He said he would try to make it to the finish line to see me I told him I'd be about 30 mins or so and before I knew it we were off. I started out strong and prob way too fast with the crowd but I felt good. It wasn't till about a half mile in though that I had warmed up enough to really get into it. There were two different girls I kept playing leap frog with while it was driving me nuts it gave me someone to pace myself with. Cause at about .75 miles I knew I needed to slow down or else I'd die there hasn't been once I have run more than one under 10 min mile. So I backed off and let the one girl pass me everything was great till I stopped for water. It was so cold water I thought would help but walking killed about 30 seconds to a min of my final time so I should have just kept moving. After mile two the mental game kicked in and I thought of Kari who wasn't able to run this weekend and Melissa who no matter what runs everyday. That last mile was for both of you cause I'm pretty sure if it wasn't a race and I didn't know either of you I would have tossed in the towel so thank you. I finally made it to the finish line which was a relief but mike had not made it in time. My official time was 36:51 with a pace of 11:52 I had forgotten to stop my Garmin after I crossed the line. Last years time was 36:10 with a pace of 11:31 so that kinda bummed me out but I placed better overall and in my age group this year so that made it better. Last year there were massages this year nothing but loud music and food from my favorite restaurant but they made a pasta dish which is a no no so I quickly checked my results and left since not to much else was going on.
Overall I think this is a great race which I'll prob do again next year it's flat and fast. Plus for the most part really well organized which is always a plus. Also if you take away mile one where I went out too fast negative splits for once go me!!

The Wealthy Have Enough Money -- It's Time to Put Some Cash in Your Pocket
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Welcome to the worst Labor Day in the memory of most Americans. Organized labor is down to about 7 percent of the private work force. Members of non-organized labor -- most of the rest of us -- are unemployed, underemployed or underwater. The Labor Department reported on Friday that just 67,000 new private-sector jobs were created in August, which, when added to the loss of public-sector (mostly temporary Census worker jobs) resulted in a net loss of over 50,000 jobs for the month. But at least 125,000 net new jobs are needed to keep up with the growth of the potential work force.
Face it: The national economy isn't escaping the gravitational pull of the Great Recession. None of the standard booster rockets are working. Near-zero short-term interest rates from the Fed, almost record-low borrowing costs in the bond market, a giant stimulus package, along with tax credits for small businesses that hire the long-term unemployed have all failed to do enough.
That's because the real problem has to do with the structure of the economy, not the business cycle. No booster rocket can work unless consumers are able, at some point, to keep the economy moving on their own. But consumers no longer have the purchasing power to buy the goods and services they produce as workers; for some time now, their means haven't kept up with what the growing economy could and should have been able to provide them.
1. The Origin of the Crisis
This crisis began decades ago when a new wave of technology -- things like satellite communications, container ships, computers and eventually the Internet -- made it cheaper for American employers to use low-wage labor abroad or labor-replacing software here at home than to continue paying the typical worker a middle-class wage. Even though the American economy kept growing, hourly wages flattened. The median male worker earns less today, adjusted for inflation, than he did 30 years ago.
But for years American families kept spending as if their incomes were keeping pace with overall economic growth. And their spending fueled continued growth. How did families manage this trick? First, women streamed into the paid work force. By the late 1990s, more than 60 percent of mothers with young children worked outside the home (in 1966, only 24 percent did).
Second, everyone put in more hours. What families didn't receive in wage increases they made up for in work increases. By the mid-2000s, the typical male worker was putting in roughly 100 hours more each year than two decades before, and the typical female worker about 200 hours more.
When American families couldn't squeeze any more income out of these two coping mechanisms, they embarked on a third: going ever deeper into debt. This seemed painless -- as long as home prices were soaring. From 2002 to 2007, American households extracted $2.3 trillion from their homes.
Eventually, of course, the debt bubble burst -- and with it, the last coping mechanism. Now we're left to deal with the underlying problem that we've avoided for decades. Even if nearly everyone was employed, the vast middle class still wouldn't have enough money to buy what the economy is capable of producing.
Where have all the economic gains gone? Mostly to the top. The economists Emmanuel Saez and Thomas Piketty examined tax returns from 1913 to 2008 . They discovered an interesting pattern. In the late 1970s, the richest 1 percent of American families took in about 9 percent of the nation's total income; by 2007, the top 1 percent took in 23.5 percent of total income.

TMZ has obtained the 911 calls placed by Michael Lohan's girlfriend Kate Major last night -- moments after MiLo allegedly threatened to kill her for refusing to perform oral sex on him.
You can hear a panicked Kate on the phone, telling the operator, "I'm afraid of him. He's gonna come in here and hit me."
Two peas in a pod
Looking at her I put her face down for sure. What a mess.
Look this woman already had a domestic assault charge against this man and then didn't bother to show up in court.
This is the relationship she is looking for. Wasn't she the nut job that constantly called when he was a member of celebrity rehab carrying on for hours over the telephone?
Maybe she has a death wish too. After all wasn't she one of Star magazines tramps?
god damn I hate these two, nobody cares what happens to either of you because you're both irrelevant white trash.
This guy put naked pictures of her on the internet and she continues to be with him. She's a moron.
He's obviously really jealous of Lindsay because this happened right after it was announced that she would get a million for posing for Playboy.
"I'm afraid of him. He's gonna come in here and hit me."
"...I'll get a headline on TMZ though!"
Maybe Kate Major is one of those drama queens that kind of likes crazy stuff like this to happen with Michael.
She might be one of those masochists who likes to be slapped around a bit and enjoys yelling and screaming like trailer trash women do. Some women seem to enjoy hitting their man like a dominatrix or whatever.
Who knows? It's a crazy world out there ... especially in Lohan Land.
I don't advocate violence against women/men, but somebody please smack that hooker right in the mouth so she'll STFU!!!
she has been with him off and on many years. She must enjoy it.
easily solved stay away from him. and see a shrink.
Can't help but wonder why Lindsay is a mess, this mom and dad are really the pits. Lindsay run from these two put your life back together, you can do it. RUN
It's about time women start refusing to perform oral sex because it is just that...a performance and women hate to do it!
When a dude hits you it's his fault.
If he hits you again it's your fault.
girl get some help
this is so stupid this is just for news she keeps going bk to him the lohans seem like a screwed up above the law *******-
What a lot of you fail to understand here is when a woman or a man are being abused in a relationship, there is a tendency to blame yourself. You begin to think "If I change my behavior then "He/She" won't hurt me anymore."
It's not until you have distanced yourself from the situation that you can see it for what it is, and get out. Sadly the only way that usually happens is after it gets so bad that friends or the cops have to intervene.
Hopefully she gets the help she needs, and can move on with her life.

Heat Zone
Category: Atlanta Hawks
Video: Frustration rising for winless Miami Heat
- 7:00 am Wednesday, October 15th, 2014 by Jason Lieser
The preseason is got a little more serious for the Heat on Tuesday, when they lost 109-103 at home against Atlanta. Miami is now 0-4 as it heads into a back-to-back against Golden State and San Antonio starting Friday.
There were good signs for the Heat against the Hawks, but not enough of them. Were there enough positives to count this as a step forward?
Does Hawks' racism scandal linger for Luol Deng in tonight's game?
- 11:07 am Tuesday, October 14th, 2014 by Jason Lieser
Preseason games rarely carry any tension, but the Heat were dealt an interesting schedule this year that includes an NBA Finals rematch with San Antonio and featured a game against former star LeBron James in Brazil last week.
One of those potentially edgy games comes tonight against Atlanta. The Hawks have been embroiled in a racism scandal since the summer, and Heat forward Luol Deng was (unwillingly) a central figure in the story. Atlanta general manager Danny Ferry was recorded saying Deng "has a little African in him" and used an insulting stereotype to describe Deng as dishonest and "two-faced."
Deng said last month he forgave Ferry and was ready to move forward, but after Monday's practice acknowledged seeing the Hawks come to town makes it hard to forget.

LeBron James picks Denver Broncos to win Super Bowl XLVIII
- 10:07 pm Monday, January 20th, 2014 by Jason Lieser
LeBron James is well known as a football aficionado, tweeting his thoughts regularly on NFL Sundays, but has not had enough time to fully formulate his pick for Super Bowl XLVIII.
That said, he's going with the Denver Broncos over the Seattle Seahawks — for now.
Dwyane Wade to sit tonight at Atlanta Hawks, questionable vs. Boston
- 5:04 pm Monday, January 20th, 2014 by Jason Lieser

A third of the way through season, Heat off to franchise's best start
- 11:56 pm Monday, December 23rd, 2013 by Jason Lieser
This season has been fairly quiet for Miami, especially compared to the previous three.
But this might be the best Heat team yet.
Ray Allen starts for Dwyane Wade (out) vs. Atlanta; Michael Beasley returns
- 6:13 pm Monday, December 23rd, 2013 by Jason Lieser

Up next for the Heat: Relatively light 5-game homestand
- 12:24 pm Wednesday, December 11th, 2013 by Jason Lieser
Miami has some issues to address — ball movement, rebounding, interior defense — after dropping three of its past five games and going 2-2 on the recent Midwest road trip. Fixing those problems will get a little easier with the upcoming two weeks at AmericanAirlines Arena.

How much do you tip when you get comped?
Last night we had dinner at a fine dining restaurant that we visit at least once a month. We always ask for the same server. She usually slips a little something extra our way. Last night it was 2 glasses of champagne, a "splash" of wine, and a dessert. The bill was about $100 but, had she included all of these extras, the bill would have been close to $140. We tipped what I thought was a generous $40 (40% on $100) but then as I started thinking about it, I wondered if that was enough. What do you think? Do servers have the freedom to be generous with regular customers without the management getting upset?
re: markethej
If the staff is entrusted to do this, they're probably also quick/bright enough to, for example, give a couple of glasses of champagne from a bottle that needs to be served or will be lost anyhow. An extra "splash" of wine can be the same sort of thing...bottles of wine served by the glass can, at times, languish, so using them up while they're still good in this way is good business all the way around.
re: jfood
It depends on the customer at the restaurant that I work in - we have a LOT of discretion to give good regulars free stuff. Or often the chef/owner will give them an entree he is working to perfect before it goes on the menu. Same with appetizers that are being tested.
But if the owners don't know they're regulars, we're supposed to clear it with them first. Also, at our restaurant the freebies tend to be food and not booze, but I'm sure that varies greatly.
Mimi, it sounds like your tip was very generous.
re: jnstarla
It's weird they would want you to comp with food, not booze. Food costs always have a much lower ROI than booze. If you comp a scotch and soda, how much does that really cost? Maybe a buck or two at most. Comping a dessert or appetizer has a much higher cost.
re: markethej
It is actually illegal in some places to give away free alcohol (NC for example), though people do it all the time. If your restaurant/bar owner is a stickler for the rules, no freebies there.
re: mojoeater
I think it's about keeping track of the booze for ordering purposes - the food has to get rung in (to order from the kitchen) and then comped, so they'll still know if an extra app went out. A drink could just be made, and then we'll run out of stuff because there is no record of the drink going out.
Bartenders can easily swing you a free round without management approval. Servers can slip in a dessert or two. If you are getting free drinks from a server, she had to at least ask the bartender (often the ABC manager on premises) in order to get them.
There were many times when I was a server when I would ask the MOD (manager on duty) for something special for a guest, whether they were a frequent and pleasant customer or in order to make amends for a glitch in their service/food experience. Depending on where I worked, we either had to account for it in the nightly totals under "Comp" or we just left it off. The former is the legal thing to do with alcohol, since it is always supposed to be accounted for. I never had a manager say no.
An unwritten rule is to tip on what the bill would have been without the comp. You tipped well.
re: mojoeater
I just sold my restaurant (yippeee) however, I always encouraged staff to give a dessert to regulars on birthdays, anniversaries etc, and they had enough nous to know that when something went wrong with the food or service or the kitchen messed up that it was ok to comp desserts, coffee etc. but they always checked with me first.
re: mojoeater
"Bartenders can easily swing you a free round without management approval. Servers can slip in a dessert or two. If you are getting free drinks from a server, she had to at least ask the bartender (often the ABC manager on premises) in order to get them.'
it can also get them fired. i've worked in places that have zero tolerance for staff giving away anything without direct approval from the chef/owner; in places that allow the bartenders a comp check, say $50 or $100 a night; in places that with my ok, the servers can comp a dessert or round of drinks.
i have never worked anyplace where servers can comp items on their own, but personally feel it's good customer relations to be considered generous in this way.
i'm in the business and more often than not get *something* extra when i go out. i tip on what the check would have been. last night we had 2 glasses of wine and a manhattan, and no check. it would have been about $45. i left $20. win/win.
re: hotoynoodle
When I managed a quite successful, one-off restaurant (ie, not a part of a larger organization) I specifically gave servers and bartenders permission to comp certain things at certain times. For instance, we sold a lot of desserts on Friday and Saturday nights but almost none on Sunday and we were, for a period of time, closed on Mondays. So, if we had, say, two slices of a pie left toward the end of the evening on a Saturday, it was a better use of the pie to comp it for regulars or to make up for a longer than normal wait for an entree or what have you than to let it languish until Tuesday when it probably wouldn't be worth selling anyhow. A similar sort of idea applied for appetizer or dessert specials. If we got to, say, 9pm and had only two or three orders left, it was better to run them out than have them hang around if we weren't going to be running the same special the next night. Ditto wines we served by the glass; better to run them out giving someone an extra splash of wine or a "would you like to taste this wine that is similar to the one you've ordered" sort of thing.
It depends on the manager and the way the particular restaurant is set up. For a larger chain like Bonefish grill, for example, they need to keep closer track of many things and probably wouldn't want to give their servers the leeway to make decisions like this on their own. I had a staff of about 6 or 8 servers that worked the dinner shift most nights, so they knew what was OK and what wasn't and it was fairly east to keep track of what was going on and make corrections to what we were doing on the fly.
As everyone seems to have indicated on here, tipping for the service provided brining you the comped item is the way to go.
I would tip my normal (depending on service) on the actual bill, but throw in something for what was comped (but not equal to the actual cost because (1) I don't necessarily want to encourage the server to throw in free stuff to get a much higher tip (as in the actual cost), therefore "stealing" from the employer and (2) if I were to pay for the items, I might have ordered a different wine or dessert, so although free, it may not be what I would have picked. I think you were more than generous.
If servers had to ask for permission and therefore explain the reason, and the reason was something they did wrong, then I'm guessing most wouldn't do it. Saying, "May I give that table two free dessert? I got one of their order wrong, so now his friend is almost finishing their meal and he hasn't gotten his food yet," is sort of intimidating, right? If he has the freedom to just do it, then he can say to the customer, "I'm so sorry about your order. I'll comp you two desserts." This can go a long way. There have been times that we've been offered something, and we've turned it down because we felt it was no big deal. Yet there are other times in which something goes wrong that if they could have offered anything (the 5 cents soda, for example!), I would have felt better.
re: boltnut55
That's is the question jfood always wondered. Is the waiter diverting earnings from the resto to the server's pocket? When jfood was in college there was a great bar where jfood and friends could hang all night and the bartender would give a bill for $20, when it should have been $220. Jfood and friends would give $100 (numbers used as an example only) and the bartender pocketed the $120. Did not seem right even as a college kid.
So jfood always wondered whether this was for the benefit of the resto when the jfoods are offered a dessert or for the benefit of the server. Since this normally happens now at places the jfoods go to often, the assumption is that the resto is thanking us for years of patronage. Jfood normall thanks the manager on the way out and always recives, "It's my pleasure. Hope you enjoyed."
re: jfood
a common enough modus operandi in college bars. the place is already making a fortune on draft beers and shots, so that shrinkage is understood and tolerated. either way, it's stealing. if the bartender falls out of favor, or a new manager comes to town, the shenanigans might not be tolerated.
in grown-up restaurants, i always think it's a nice gesture to recognize regulars and thank them for their patronage. good managers know the difference between generosity and giving away the store.
I think that was very generous and reasonable. I'm a server/bartender and would have been plenty happy with $30 tip. Most of the time in my experience their is an amount assigned to server/bartender or wait-staff for comp privileges or (we) usually get approval form management before comping an item. I usually would hope for but not expect a tip on the total amount before comp. Any extra is usually a bonus and makes the night GREAT!
I'll be the devil's advocate and I'm sure it will start a firestorm.
I managed restaurants for a fine dining group of restaurants. They were succcessful and profitable operation because they were strict about comps and the bottom line. Only management could offer a comp and everything that was comped had to appear on the check as a comp and approved by the manager. Why?--because servers and bartenders can and will give away food and drink to customers to improve their tips (yes, most people will tip on the bill with the comp). I had servers "narc" on their fellow server for giving away stuff like that. They thought it was unfair that the employee was "stealing from the house" to improve his/her tips while they had to play by the house ground rules. Sounds innocent enough a couple drinks and a desert? Most restaurants are lucky if they net a 10% profit, literally its a nickel and dime business to succeed. That's why most restaurants go under because they can't manage the small stuff.
I'll be the victim now. When I go to Las Vegas I get a free room and two comp coupon books for food for all my meals during my stay (I'm not a high roller..this isn't a high roller comp situation-lots of good regular customers get this deal). You can use the book at any of their restaurants. With the coupon book there are restrictions on the items you can order from the menu but includes your entree and beverage. I usually go to restaurant that's open 24 hours a day. I can walk right in anytime and avoid the line of up to 30 minutes and "my" server will get a table for me. Now I get the VIP treatment...my comped entree and beverage and then they'll ply me with appetizers or deserts or free salad bar (none of which appear on the check) or a to go bag of goodies for my room on my way out. When I get the check the only things to appear on it are the beverage and "approved" entree. If I'm there for breakfast I'll tip $5/person when the bill comes to about $8/person. For dinner the check total may be $40 and I'll give the server a $25 tip. I've been going here for years and these servers have been there 20+ years and they have other "regular" customers like myself that I'm sure they're doing the same thing for. My tip to them is based on the comped items and their VIP treatment. Do you think they're stealing or are they promoting business for the house? On the other hand my high roller friend who gets the full RFB(no restrictions)will go there and give the server a $100 tip whether its for breakfast, lunch or dinner and for a sandwich and coffee or the cocktail waitress $100 tip for bringing him a bottle of water at the crap table.
Last week for my birthday we went to a steakhouse and would you believe it the steak came out well done when I ordered it medium rare. I notified the server and she returned it to the kitchen. While I was waiting for the steak she said the manager would come over and talk to me and I told her it wasn't necessary. Later she insisted on bringing us a free desert to share ($10 desert). We thanked her and no problem tipping her on the comp. The free desert appeared on the check as a comp...it was added on and then voided. These days with the point of sales computers a server can't "void" an item which is on the check without someone higher up who has a key or access code.
In conclusion it depends on the restaurants policy how generous and how much freedom they give employees. Yes, I would tip on the comped value of the check (also in a situation where the restaurant may have something like a two for one special).
