If Ocwen is trying to take your home, immediately file for a Mortgage Assistance Program. They can't legally foreclose if you are in the process of enrolling in an MHA. Then get a foreclosure lawyer, I payed $1000 for one to push the paperwork through Ocwen because they were ignoring the fact I had filed for assistance. Thank god I had the lawyer during the filing process because Ocwen foreclosed. Lawyers said not to leave the house and that we would go to court if they didn't rescind the illegal foreclosure. Within a month the lawyers helped me get my house back and a mortgage I could afford! Please take my advice!!!! MHA and a lawyer!!!!0 0 Reply

I have a folder of bout 1 inch thick with correspondence from them. Saxon sold my mortgage to Ocwen and its been downhill every since first they kept saying I didn't have any insurance on my home. I had been with allstate since I bought it in 1988. My insurance agent faxed them mailed it and even called them and every month it was the same problem we went back and forth with this problem for months til they sent my payment back saying they wanted over 3000.00 because I owed them for when they put their own insurance at a higher rate then allstate. I had to file bankruptcy. I tried to get a home modification and once it went thru they increased my payments by 300.00. They accused me of making more money then stated. I tried to keep up but it was to much. I went thru NACA and finally got a meeting with a rep from Ocwen and negotiated it down to 822.00 per month. Allstate cancelled my insurance and I had to go with the insurance company that Ocwen provided and when I needed a roof they sent a insurance adjuster who came and inspected my roof and said it only would take 850.00 to repair. Never got it repaired and its still leaking. Cant find no one that would repair it for that much. Now the back room that put on as an addition is pulling away from the house an its raining inside my bedroom. The house has mold all thru it because of the leaking roof and Im contemplating moving cause this is not healthy for me. I hope they don't think Im going to fix it. I don't... have that kind of money . They have caused me nothing but problems since they took over and I wish they never would have took it. When I tell people what company I have such as banks and real estate agents they laugh and shake their heads. Ive been in my house for 26 years and now I will walk away because of them Show more0 0 Reply

Ocwen bought our loan from indymac. We have been paying our payments 2 timesa month for 8 years. Ocwen, once taking over our loan has called us at least 20 times a month to alert us of a late payment. Every time, they've made a mistake. They have no accounting abilities. All they know how to do is harass.0 0 Reply

Yea theyre looking into it. If you research this company 48 attorney generals, Didn't think Ocwen should take over GMac cause theyre that shady. I'm fighting them now. I've contracted everyone I could think of from my state and then some. I'll work on people in FL tomorrow.0 0 Reply
jackie › April Jul 01
what did the attorney general state about your case? Ocwen took over my loan and change the terms on my loan without my permission, raised my money payment too. At first they couldn't tell me why, then came up with some story that I issued a hardship back in 08, which I didn't. Told them to send me the hardship letter showing my signature and when it arrived, it was someone else's name and info on the letter nothing to do with my mortgage. Called them again asking for the paperwork showing how my mortgage terms were changed and they stated that I asked for it, told them to send me that paperwork. The gentlemen told me he ordered the papers should arrive in a month. Has been well over a month, nothing has shown up yet. I'm thinking that the original loan by GMAC was sold and the loan that they have me paying is no longer my loan since I never signed anything for my original loan to change.
I want to know my next course of action, get a lawyer and have them fight it out in court, but meanwhile pay the higher payments that have taken me over my spending limits per month? Walk away and have them fight me for the money on a loan that doesn't seem to be my loan anymore?
Have any more insight to helping you resolve your issue with this mortgage company. I even emailed all of the owners, shareholders, treasury in florida and put a trace on the email to see which one opened up the email. I did notice that the treasurer did open the email but never heard anything from them... in return. Seems like this company is out to take over hard earning peoples properties.
Advice please?

ocwen, dos any one have any idea who owns it? Like the rest of you Im very un happy! They acquired our loan when GMAC went broke.
I would think that all mortgage companys would have learned there lesson .
I went through so real lean times and only once I asked to have a month moved to the back of the loan..I was told no way, my escrow went up when porp. values were going down , and the charges to make a electronic payment what is up with that.
Im from the far north west and can hardly understand a word that comes out of there mouth, are they in a row boat working on a cell phone? They should take some lessons from discover card services
My local bank will take my loan and keep it in house at the same rate that ocwen is charging and Im in the process of getting it done. All I can say is shame on you and send your operators back to there own country.

OCWEN company are crooks!! They sabotage customers, and they are not even in the Unites States!!! They incur fees on your statements that are oblivious, and you wont even know until you get that call!! (Not unless you read your statements every month) They are definitely a fraud of some sort, and needs to be shut down. I'm in on bringing them down, and hopefully we all can get a fresh start!! You can email email@example.com or call 1-800-337-6695 if you feel you've been injured by OCWEN, I just did!! Hope this helps...0 0 Reply

Welcome to Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review, a new ratings service that allows
you to view and provide feedback on a lawyer or law firm on service and relationship
qualities such as Communication Ability, Responsiveness, Quality of Service, and
Value for Money.
Determining a Rating
The Client Review Rating is determined through aggregation of validated responses.
This compilation of Client Reviews translates to a numerical rating and associate
descriptive term on a scale of 1 -5. 1 being lowest as "Rated" and 5 being highest
as "Preeminent".
Martindale-Hubbell uses a third-party resource to validate that the respondent is
a living person, but cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship, which in many
cases is confidential. Clients must affirm that they are a client of the lawyer
or firm identified for review at the time of the completed Client Review.
The Reviewers
Those who complete Client Reviews are clients of law firms who hired a lawyer within
the last year, whose matter is not pending, and want to share their experience of
that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be of any type
from in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners to private individuals,
and even sometimes another lawyer in a different jurisdiction.
Client Reviews are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published;
however a summary of basic demographics will be part of the display of responses.
Why do we collect demographics as part of the review?
Those who are researching a lawyer or law firm like to see that there are other clients who might be "like them". This
is valuable information contributing to the decision-making process of hiring a
Martindale-Hubbell's role
Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the process of Client Review by gathering responses,
validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses
are entirely from reviewers, the clients of the firm or lawyer.
It is important to note that Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Client Reviews for all
firms and lawyers. Therefore, the fact that a firm or lawyer has not been reviewed
should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome
and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of
any review over which Martindale-Hubbell exercises no editorial review or control.
An explanation of the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings
A Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating reflects a combination of achieving a Very High General Ethical Standards rating and a Legal Ability numerical rating.
General Ethical Standards Rating
The General Ethical Standards rating denotes adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.
Those lawyers who meet the "Very High" criteria of General Ethical Standards can proceed to the next step in the ratings process.
Legal Ability Ratings
For lawyers rated with the changed methodology, Legal Ability ratings will now indicate professional ability within a specific area of practice. Legal Ability ratings are based on performance in five key areas, rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (with 1 being the lowest and 5 being the highest). These areas are:
Legal Knowledge - Lawyer's familiarity with the laws governing his/her specific area of practice(s)
Analytical Capabilities - Lawyer's creativity in analyzing legal issues and applying technical knowledge
Judgment - Lawyer's demonstration of the salient factors that drive the outcome of a given case or issue.
Communication Ability - Lawyer's capability to communicate persuasively and credibly
Legal Experience - Lawyer's degree of experience in his/her specific area of practice(s)
Additional Feedback
The changed Peer Review Ratings allow reviewers to provide optional Additional Feedback on the lawyer under review. Additional Feedback is displayed anonymously in conjunction with the review results to the lawyer under review. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right not to display any feedback.
Reviewer Demographics
Peer Review Ratings are anonymous and reviewers' identities are not published, but in an effort to provide more details to the users of Peer Review Ratings, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell will aggregate reviewers' basic demographics, including general position and general geographic location, which may be published with the ratings display on martindale.com® and Lawyers.comsm. Examples of basic demographics are "private practice lawyer, senior partner, New York, USA."
The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating
After a lawyer's General Ethical Standards and Legal Ability Ratings are confirmed, his/her ratings are aggregated to create an overall numeric rating for each rated Area of Practice. The numeric rating determines the Peer Review Rating, which includes a rating term and may include a Certification Mark:
AV® Preeminent™ (4.5 - 5.0) - An AV® certification mark is a significant rating accomplishment - a testament to the fact that a lawyer's peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence.
BV® Distinguished™ (3.0 - 4.4) - The BV® certification mark is an excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. A widely respected mark of achievement, it differentiates a lawyer from his or her competition.
Rated (1.0 - 2.9) - The Peer Review Rated designation demonstrates that the lawyer has met the very high criteria of General Ethical Standing.
For lawyers rated in the existing program, the display will appear differently than those reviewed in the changed methodology. Because the lawyers converted to the new display have yet to be re-reviewed in the changed system, there will not be the depth of detail available on their Legal Ability Rating, Area of Practice specificity, Additional Feedback or Reviewer's Demographic data.
The Reviewers and Anonymity
The reviewers are members of the Bar and Judiciary (lawyers and judges) across multiple jurisdictions and geographic locations and are listed on martindale.com. They are from similar areas of practice and/or industry as the lawyer being rated, who know or have worked with the lawyer under review and are able to rate them on their professional ethical standards and legal ability. All Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings review materials are treated as anonymous. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell takes steps to protect your anonymity (e.g., not associating reviewer names with their responses and aggregating their responses with responses from other reviewers before sharing or publishing them). But it is possible that their responses may contain sufficient information to allow the rated lawyer to ascertain their identity.
Facilitating the Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings Process
LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell facilitates the peer review process by gathering responses, validating them and aggregating results for display online. The content of the responses are entirely from reviewers, the peers of the lawyer. Peer reviewers must affirm that they are a peer of the lawyer identified for review. A peer can submit only one review for a specific lawyer within a 12-month period.
A lawyer's rating will generally improve over time. But LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review ratings can be revised downward, or even removed if a decline is noted in ability or ethical standards. While LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell makes available the option of regular rating reviews for the lawyers, the most recent results are relied upon when determining the final rating.
It is important to note that because LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell does not undertake to develop Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings for all lawyers, the fact that a lawyer is not rated should not be construed unfavorably. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review responses displayed in whole or in part by LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell may use your responses in whole or in part in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, but it is not required to do so. LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell reserves the right, in its sole, unrestricted discretion, not to publish or otherwise use all or any portion of any responses or submissions it may receive.
No subscription or listing on martindale.com or lawyers.com is ever solicited or accepted on the promise of publication of a particular Peer Review Rating. No preferential consideration is ever given to any lawyer or law firm. There is never any payment made to lawyers and judges who participate in rating reviews. The process is a cooperative service with the Bar and the Judiciary.
It is LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell policy to conduct regular random periodic reviews of all Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings to insure their accuracy. Where supporting opinions dictate, appropriate action (such as deleting, raising or lowering a rating) is taken.
Disbarred or suspended lawyers automatically have their LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings removed as soon as notified by a state Bar. Other types of lawyer disciplinary actions administered by the appropriate Bar or judicial authorities may also be grounds to remove a rating. While Bar admitting authorities supply LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell with disciplinary information, LexisNexis Martindale-Hubbell also reserves the right to investigate information developed from the Bar or the judiciary regarding rated lawyers that have occurred that may impact the ethical standards of a rated lawyer.

The state parks department is considering ways to help ensure the future of the Southeast Kansas Nature Center in Galena.
The Joplin Globe reports biologists have said the center is home to up to 30 percent of the state's threatened and endangered species.
Its volunteer director, Linda Phipps, says she and other people who keep the center running are getting older or are no longer able to help.
She told Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism Secretary Robin Jennison during a meeting Wednesday that volunteers are worried about the center's future.
After the meeting, Jennison said he was cautiously optimistic that the state will be able to help, although he didn't specify how.

I reached out to Body by Laser West Orange after searching for non invasive alternatives to smart lipo (another procedure I would totally do) since it is way out of my budget. They were happy to have me try it! I had tried cool sculpting twice before after my daughter but I found that it didn't work so that wasn't an option. When I stumbled upon Zerona I was immediately intrigued, excited that you feel no pain and see results in as little as two weeks!
These last 15 post pregnancy pounds have been the hardest to shed, by this time after my daughter I was at my fitness goal and was simply maintaining. This pregnancy however, has put me through a roller coaster of emotions, my most difficult area, the dreaded mommy pooch. So of course that would be my targeted treatment area.
There isn't any prep needed, I just went in and laid down. The clinician then provides you with protective glasses, adjusts the lasers over the specified area, turns on some soothing tunes and leaves you be for the next 20 minutes. She then comes back flips you over and does the same thing. Bye bye back fat! During the sessions I would text, Tweet, Instagram and Facebook but you could easily nap if you wanted. To finish, you are moved into another room where the whole body vibration machine is. You stand on the platform do a few simple movements and then step off after 10 minutes. The vibration helps to loosen the fat so your body is better able to flush it.
My Results
What I did instantly notice was the skin on my lower abdomen a lot tighter and my stretch marks lighter. So even if I did not lose inches as intended, at least I no longer have soft, wrinkly skin. Another thing I noticed and maybe you can tell in the photos is that I have slight more Ab definition
Would I do it agian? Yes, in fact I would love to go get my 6th session plus 3 more if possible.
Would I have paid out of pocket? Yes but only with a really good Groupon deal for 6 or more sessions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! It does, I will tell you right now though, it will take 6 or more sessions. You can probably get away with doing just three if you pair it with a 3 day detox and lots of cardio. However, for lasting and noticeable results definitely 6+ sessions.
How much does it cost?
The cost varies on the treatment center, sales, package specials and deals. I've seen rates from 300 to $600 for one session. Currently Body by Laser West Orange has a Groupon offer of 3 sessions treatment for $399.
Does it hurt?
No it does not. You don't feel, smell or hear a thing.
How soon do you see results?
After your third session, especially if you have a well balanced diet, are exercising and drinking lots of water. You can't do this treatment and eat junk, you simply won't lose the inches.
Is it the same as Ultrasonic Cavitation/Radio Frequency/Massotherapy?
No. Zerona is the only FDA non invasive cold laser fat removal treatment approved for body contouring.

So my sister was raving about this "amazing" open faced bagel sandwich she had the other day at this cafe. I'm not the biggest avocado fan so I was a little skeptical when she started making one for me. I must say I gladly ate my words after one bite because this is SO DELICIOUS!!! It is seriously the perfect combination so please try it!

Susan Hague: Delgado Fulbright Scholar reflects on teaching in India
Fulbright Scholar and Professor Susan Hague of Delgado Community College returned this fall from a year-long teaching appointment at the Goa Institute of Management (GIM), a private business school in Goa, India. Hague teaches speech and mass communication at Delgado and serves as faculty advisor for the College newspaper, The Dolphin. She is also the recipient of Delgado's highest endowed honor, the Seymour Weiss Excellence in Teaching Award.
Promoting intercultural understanding is only one of the reasons Hague wanted to participate in the Fulbright Program.
"The value of personal connection is essential to increase our understanding of each other, and is at the heart of the Fulbright mission, as I understand it," said Hague. "Our perception is our truth, but experiences can change our perceptions."
The Fulbright program is an international educational exchange program sponsored by the federal government and is designed to increase mutual understanding between the people of the United States and the people of other countries.
Hague packed her bags with the intention to teach Interpersonal Communication, but when she arrived, the GIM students requested that she teach a course called Managing Change, instead. Managing Change looked at change from an individual's perspective and what one could do to manage change and one's response to it. In spite of the change, Hague taught the course parallel to Delgado's semester, which gave students in the host country a chance to communicate with students enrolled in a similar course at Delgado, via video conference. On one occasion, 19 Delgado students exchanged questions and answers with about a dozen GIM students regarding their respective educational experiences. Hague plans to continue this linkage with GIM and Delgado. "It'll be like travel without getting on the plane," said Hague.
The GIM students in the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program, who were mostly between 20 to 30 years old, called Hague "professor" or "ma'am," which made her feel respected. Before she left for India she said, "I am honored to share what I know with another part of the world, and I will probably learn more than I teach." Upon her return she said, "Everything that I know how to do, India gave me a venue to do it in. I made strong connections with faculty there and I went to share what I knew with students and be useful. I went there to serve. And I was and I felt appreciated."
Still in her first semester back home at Delgado, Hague has already facilitated a webinar with current students in her Introduction to Public Relations class with Professor Cedric Serpes, who teaches innovation and integrated marketing and communication courses at GIM. Hague chose India because she always wanted to visit the country and to reconnect with her colleague, friend, and Fulbright host coordinator. Hague met Serpes while attending graduate school at the University of Louisiana-Lafayette almost 23 years ago.
Travelling from New Orleans to India was an easy adjustment for Hague. She observed that the people of India prefer things to be colorful and that most events evolved around food just like New Orleans. "If New Orleans had a child it would be Goa," said Hague. She also found that GIM was like Delgado, with an emphasis on workforce placement and practical skills and knowledge ("Education that works!").
Hague believes in practical application of theory and knowledge. The experience of teaching students in another country provided Hague with first-hand examples and her students with first-hand experience in intercultural communication. The classes gave Indian students a chance to find out more about the United States and New Orleans, and it also gave American students a chance to find out more about India and Goa.
In Hague's proposal for the Fulbright, she stated that the purpose of her project was to teach interpersonal communication to help students better understand themselves; the role of culture in communication; and the universality of the human need to be understood by and to understand family, friends, co-workers, managers, and professors. She thinks that this is often a missing piece in their education. That goal was accomplished for Hague and for all of the students that she linked together.
"When we have a friend in another part of the world, we care about that friend and that part of the world. It's not an abstraction. For people, facts and reaction are not the same thing," said Hague. "For example, the Tsunami is a fact. Katrina is a fact. Those are things that happened, but if you don't know anyone that experienced that, you may just go on your merry way. We connect to things that are real to us. Our personal connections, our professional connections, and our friendships are how these things stitch the planet together."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla- Game two for the Seminoles is what you might call the sorbet in between the appetizer and the main course.
FSU coming off the shutout over Louisiana Monroe. Tomorrow it's another home game, against very over matched Charleston Southern. If there was a spread on this one, it would be like 80. FSU's biggest objective, not spend all their time on the field tomorrow looking ahead to next week's tilt against top ranked Oklahoma.
"The main thing is to focus on these guys, not get too far ahead of ourselves. We obviously know the Oklahoma game is right after these guys you know you gotta pass these guys in order to get to Oklahoma. We're gonna carry ourselves like we always do, same protocol. Coach Fisher's still gonna coach us extremely hard and we have to go out there and execute. It's not so much what team we're gonna play we like to think of it as take care of ourselves execute on our own part and we'll be fine."
That game at Doak kicks off at 6 eastern.

ST. PAUL, Minn. -- Jason Pominville scored for Minnesota in the second period off the back of Chicago goalie Corey Crawford's skate and the Wild beat the Blackhawks 4-2 on Friday night to even the Western Conference semifinal series at two games apiece.
Matt Cooke returned from his seven-game kneeing suspension to give the Wild a jolt, assisting on Justin Fontaine's opening goal. Nino Niederreiter and Jared Spurgeon also scored. Crawford made 27 saves, but he gave up four goals for the second straight game.
Patrick Sharp snapped out of his slump by scoring for the Blackhawks and Michal Handzus had a goal, but the defending Stanley Cup champions again found themselves unable to establish a consistent attack against the Wild's stifling defense.
The teams will return to Chicago for Game 5 on Sunday night and be back in Minnesota for Game 6 on Tuesday night.

CMOS Checksum Error Defaults Loaded: Post Transcend TS-USB3 Install
Hi there, I was hoping someone may be able to shed some light on this as it's got me completely stumped, and pretty down at the same time if the truth be told. I'll outline the problem below although the title of the thread may actually be slightly misleading.
My system is as follows:
ASUS M2A-VM Motherboard
Athlon X2 Dual Core 5000+
4gb DDR2
250gb primary SATA HDD
500gb secondary SATA HDD
Windows 7 Professional 32-bit
I thought I'd buy me a USB3 expansion card (transcend TS-USB3) to take advantage of the speeds my new external HD would handle. It was a five minute install putting it into the PCI-E slot, but when I turned my PC back on I got the CMOS message in the title of the thread. I continued into Windows with no problem but noticed my clock and date had gone completely out of whack. I corrected that but then had trouble installing the drivers for the card. I rebooted the PC only to get the CMOS message again, so I had a nose at my BIOS settings where everything seemed fine.
I booted back into Windows and re-downloaded the drivers from Transcend's website. They installed this time with no problem, and the PC picked up my new external HD. Then I noticed the real problem; as I went to start moving files from my secondary HDD to my external HD, the secondary HD had disappeared.
I've unplugged the HDD and rebooted to no effect, I've checked the BIOS and that sees it, I've even disconnected the USB3 card and rebooted to no effect. I just can't get the PC (just Windows by the look of it) to see the HDD. It's very problematic as I had a lot of movies and TV series' on there to back up, and while they're not important, they took me a long time to collect.
I don't want to buy another HDD just to check to see if it's that that's failed only to find out it's something different. As you can probably tell, my primary HDD with my OS on is working fine.
If anybody could shed any light on this at all I'd be very grateful. I've tried a Restore Point which didn't work either, and now the card itself isn't even working. I'm completely stuck. Thanks in advance for any replies.
|My System Specs
|01 Sep 2012
A couple of pertinent pieces of information to add to the OP. I forgot to add that the Checksum Error has completely disappeared, it only happened three or four times but Windows boots normally now.
Secondly, the USB3 card is now working again and the external HD is detected and working perfectly. I just can't figure out for the life of me how to get Windows to see the secondary drive again.
|My System Specs
|01 Sep 2012
One final post in here. It now transpires that the BIOS isn't seeing the HDD now, so it appears that it's a write-off. Sorry for taking up board space with my inane ramblings. I think I'll stick to external hard drives for mass storage in future.

Assassins.Assassins seethes through the mind like an unsettling wind, hurling aside platitude and raising a host of tormenting questions. This brilliant musical by John Weidman and Stephen Sondheim is exactly the kind of project local companies should be undertaking. It tells the story of nine people who either assassinated or attempted to assassinate a president, from John Wilkes Booth, murderer of Abraham Lincoln and spiritual father to the act in America, to the disheveled Sara Jane Moore, who pointed a gun at President Gerald Ford in 1975. The action begins as a carnival barker paces a gaudy, flag-draped stage with an electric chair at one side and a noose on the other, inviting onlookers to "Come on and shoot a president." The assassins interact with each other across the shoals of time, and their biographies are revealed in dialogue and song. The scenes balance between hilarity and horror without ever losing their footing. Irony abounds. The tenderest, most beautiful piece of music in the show is "Unworthy of Your Love," sung as a duet by Squeaky Fromme and John Hinckley. She's addressing Charles Manson, and he Jodie Foster. Assassins invokes two Americas: One is the America of baseball games and green meadows, small towns and patriotic songs, the second another country altogether -- a violent, chaotic country of huge inequalities and unsustainable fantasies, an America that worships force, iconizes the gun and nurtures the hallucinatory dreams of madmen. Next Stage took a huge risk in staging a full-fledged musical of this complexity in a small space with limited resources, but the production works, and it includes some standout performances.

The Fourth Wall. Playwright A.R. Gurney is a courteous, upper-crust kind of guy, so when he found himself enraged by national politics, he didn't respond with agitprop or searing realism. Instead he imagined a comfortably middle-class housewife, Peggy, who -- by way of protest -- rearranges all the furniture in her living room so that it faces an imaginary theatrical fourth wall. Pretty soon, anyone entering Peggy's living room begins behaving like a character on a stage, and the resultant mix of realism and the actors' frantic bouts of self-aware staginess creates a cascade of evocative moments and clever jokes. There's also a piano that plays Cole Porter all by itself. As interior designer Julia preens and poses, Peggy's husband attempts to understand her and theater professor Floyd urges Peggy to explore new forms of theater, Peggy herself stays true to her vision. She believes that beyond her sheltered world there are people of every race and nationality who can be persuaded to march on Washington and halt the madness of George W. Bush's foreign policy. This production focuses more on surface comedy than on Peggy's rage and sadness, however, which makes it amusing but ultimately inconsequential.

Heartbreak House.Heartbreak House offers a full helping of George Bernard Shaw's wit, humor and trenchant intelligence; as produced by Germinal, it's also charming, sexy and delightful. Heartbreak House itself is a metaphor for the English upper class pre-World War I, and the play was influenced by Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Like Chekhov, Shaw knew -- as his characters didn't -- that their smug, safe little world was about to vanish. The two most telling figures are Captain Shotover, the half-loony, half-wise retired seafarer who owns Heartbreak House, and Ellie Dunn, one of those marvelously smart and spunky Shavian heroines. Ellie believes her fiancé, Mangan, to be a good man who rescued her kindly father, Mazzini, from penury. But she loves Hector, who won her, as Othello won Desdemona, with stories of wonder and conquest. Having arrived at Heartbreak House at the invitation of Shotover's daughter Hesione, Ellie rapidly discovers that Hector is Hesione's husband and his stories are lies. And she finds that Mangan is no benefactor, but someone who deliberately cheated her father. The plot also involves Hesione's authoritarian and peremptory sister, Ariadne, who arrives unexpectedly from India after a two-decade absence. A great deal of philosophizing and flirting ensues. There's no real resolution, only a group of people facing the unknown. Presented by Germinal Stage Denver through October 9, 2450 West 44th Avenue, 303-455-7108, www.germinalstage.com.
Impulse Theater. Basements and comedy go together like beer and nuts or toddlers and sandboxes. The basement of the Wynkoop Brewery where Impulse Theater performs is crowded, loud and energetic. Impulse does no prepared skits, nothing but pure improv -- which means that what you see changes every night, and so does the team of actors. These actors set up and follow certain rules and frameworks; they rely on audience suggestions to get these scenes going or to vary the action. Your level of enjoyment depends a lot on whether or not you like the players. Charm is a factor, and so is the ability to take risks. Fortunately, the performers are clever and fast on their feet, willing to throw themselves into the action but never betraying tension or anxiety, perfectly content to shrug off a piece that isn't coming together. The show is funny when the actors hit a groove, but equally funny when they get stymied. So, in a way, the improvisers -- and the audience -- can't lose. Presented by Impulse Theater in an open-ended run, Wynkoop Brewing Co., 1634 18th Street, 303-297-2111 or www.impulsetheater.com. Reviewed June 3.

Strange Experience at the RussianTea Room: Chowhounders Opinions Needed
- DoctortedNYC Jan 30, 2007 02:12 PM
Had lunch at the Russian Tea Room Today with GF. Review to follow. Alot has been said of the unevenness of service.However, we had a nice, pleasant waiter was a bit nervous and andward, but otherwise efficient a and affable. Here is where something quite unexpected and strange happened. When presented with the check I paid with my CC and as is my custom left the gratuity in cash. The waiter took the bill and thanked me profusely. He returned 5 minutes later and told me the manager is not accepting the gratuity as this was his first day and he is in training. Somewhat stunned, I insisted he take it to no avail. Upon leaving however, the manager asked me if everything was ok as i am not tipping. Being totally confused by now,I said fine, and explained to him I was told previously the tip was being declined as my waiter was in training. At this point I felt angry feeling I was maybe being manipulated at such a high level restaurant [was the maitre de expecting i should be offering it to him ?].. I told the him THEIR initial decision was now final and in the future come to an agreement before presenting a customer with this issue. I felt this was tacky and low class and ruined a very enjoyable dining exprience. My question is: 1-Did i do the right thing by not tipping ?
2- What are your opinions of what happened.
I would appreciate any feedback.
I would say that you are in the right. According to some, I usually overtip. But I will say that when I am impatient when the staff makes tipping difficult.
I might have offered to give a tip but questioned the manager as to whether the tip was going to the server I had or whether it was going in the manager's pocket. Perhaps that's where the confusion started. Server might have been told that he can't take a tip on a table he handled but he misinterpreted it to mean that they couldn't accept a tip from the table period. Either way, they made it difficult for you, I would say that it's okay that you didn't tip.
Thx magfitz.
I agree with you.
I was not going to get into politics at such supposed high end places.
Totally bizarre and it strikes me as possibly illegal. Especially since waitstaff is often paid under minimum wage due to the presumption of tip income. But I don't know NY labor law.
The only problem in leaving no tip is that in many restaurants the tip is shared among the waiter, the runners, the bus boys, etc. Just because the waiter can't take it, doesn't mean others weren't serving you as well.
But given the circumstances I think you behaved reasonably with such an odd situation.
Thx ks in la:
Thats a very good point too.
I felt very awkward as it also occured to me during this episode as if maybe the management were testing the waiter to see if he would eventually accept.
I am going to write a letter to the owner tomorrow regarding what I felt to be a very disturbing and disconcerting experience.
re: DoctortedNYC
Writing a letter is definitely a good idea! I hope you get a reasonable response or it provokes some thought on management's part.
That is bizarre. I would have probably lost my temper and told the manager where to go and what to do with himself once he got there. I would not have left a tip [and I'm another "overtipper" for the most part]. Good for you keeping your cool.
re: Brian S
How does payment method have anything to do with how/if tips are shared? It is up to the house to set the policy on whether tips are all pooled then divided, or whether each server is responsible for tipping out the bussers, host, bar, etc from their personal earnings.
re: Brian S
Tipping in cash actually helps any tipped staff (they don't have to claim it all in taxes) where as tipping on a CC means it's all reported. Having worked in restaurants years ago, I always appreciated when people tipped in cash, and I do so now whenever possible.
re: bklyngrl
Really? When I was a server I didn't keep any records of my tips, whether credit-card or cash - nor did my restaurants. Come tax time, I would just make up something plausible. Did you or your restaurants actually keep/report anything?
re: spigot
Absolutely. The percentage we claimed was small (3% of total?). With credit cards, if the IRS ever decided to audit a restaurant, the tips on the cards would show up as income to the servers on top of whatever their small hourly rate is. Even though cc tips are usually given to the server in cash at the end of their shift, it's still on the books.
re: bklyngrl
Why should I assist waiters to evade taxes by tipping in cash?
I pay taxes, as everything I make is on the books.
Furthermore, often I (legitimately) deduct it off my taxes, and I want a complete easy printout that shows all business entertainment expenses, including tip.
re: fudluvr
"accepting" and "receiving" are different. if this waiter was training, he was under the hand of another senior waiter to whom the tip would have gone.
it sounds like garbled communication all around. however, i would have left the tip anyway. high-end places like that have lots of support staff (bussers, runners, etc.) who get a percentage of the day's tips.
for the maitre d' to discuss your tipping was very tacky, and a letter is assuredly in order.
re: hotoynoodle
I agree that it is garbled communication. Usually during training, you are under someone else's guidance and thereby in THEIR section, training on their tables. The waiter that has been designated as the trainer would loose money because they now have fewer tables since some are going to the trainee. That would be unfair: not only are you saddled with an additional task (training the new guy) but you are going to loose money in the process? That's why restaurants (who are too cheap to compensate the trainer some other way) make it so the trainee receives no tips. What is SUPPOSED to happen is that the diner leaves the tip and it goes to the trainer (and everyone he/she is supposed to tip out). I think New Guy knew he wasn't supposed to be tipped and told the diner without realizing the rest of the scenario.
re: chaddict
I understand the no tips while training bit, but I find it hard to believe the trainee wasn't made aware of the rules up front. It makes me wonder if he wasn't protesting in some way. Like maybe he wasn't getting the help he needed from his trainer, and didn't want the trainer to get any tip?
It certainly sounds weird all around.
re: julesrules
I would be really surprised that he did not know he would not be tipped. Unless...this was his first table ever at the restaurant and he didn't realize he wouldn't be tipped until then. Doubtful...
I agree with jfood below: the manager probably looked at the cc slip, saw no tip written in, and wanted to know if something was wrong. Trainee probably said something about "a" tip and the manager told him he wouldn't be receiving tips today. The manager probably took it as a general question, not a specific one, and therefore did not make the connection to this specific patron.
As a manager with a new employee on my hands, if I saw that no tip was left, I would want to know why. I would infer that the trainee did something wrong to the diner to make the diner feel compelled to not leave a tip. With that said, I would ask if the service had been good but I would NEVER have added "...because you didn't leave a tip." NEVER question a guest's tipping, only if everything had been satisfactory.
that is just the weirdest thing ever! I think you did fine not tipping - you shouldn't have to work that hard to give someone money. And as a customer you shouldn't ever have needed to think about the issue of tipping/not tipping/new staff etc.
I am completely bewildered on why the waiter couldn't/didn't take the tip, regardless of how many days he had been there or why mgmt would have said . . . anyhow, too strange.
Thx everybody for your input...When the waiter returned my tip he was quite explicit that he was told not to accept it by the management for the aforementioned reasons...My take was that management had instructed him so...I also thought that maybe they were giving him a "trial by fire" and wanted to see if he could be persuaded by me and maybe he would be fired. It was the waiter I really feel bad for. He was a young, pleasant fellow. Today i mailed the new owner of the RTR [who ,btw, paid a cool 19 million for it] explaining this incident. I will post if and when i get a reply.
re: DoctortedNYC
Sorry -- I'm having a really hard time getting my head around this: Nineteen Million Dollars for a restaurant, any restaurant???? How much can this establishment possibly gross? (And of course I do mean gross).
re: aliris
According to wacky-peidia, the previous owner paid $6.5 million for it, closed it for four years, and did $34 million in renovations. All this ruined the place! However, it sits on what must be some serious real estate. It sounds like Carnegie Hall Tower was built around the RTR building. "The 20-foot-wide building goes all the way from 57th St. (restaurant main entrance) to 56th St." Only $16 million? SAD!!
The new owner is a real estate developer in NYC with deep pockets...Lots of wealthy people like to have restaurants to entertain their cronies and never expect to make money...Dont forget he is really buying it for the real estate which is probably some of the most valuable in the world. Wikipedia has an interesting entry regarding the history of the RTR. As you read it, you will see it is no stranger to controversey
I mailed my letter to Mr. Lieblich yesterday regarding the incident. Will keep everyone here posted.
re: DoctortedNYC
I have a feeling that some one is going to get his tailfeathers burned, but you may never find out who.
I agree with many of the hypotheses regarding the waiter, but what is more difficult to explain are those of the maitre` de who's is supposed to be in charge.
I had a hard time undertstanding the circumstances after reading a few times, but as people posted I may have something that is obvious to others already.
1 - I would assume that few people pay the bill with charge and cash for tip (this may be incorrect but hear me out).
2 - The trainee give patron check presenter and receives card.
3 - Trainee runs card and present slip to patron.
4 - Patron signs and leaves cash in presenter.
5 - Trainee is now excited that he runs to manager and asks if he can keep it.
6 - Manager says no but DOES NOT ask trainee if patron placed tip on charge slip
7 - Trainee returns money
8 - Patron leaves and manager now realized his mistake (see 1 above) and confronts patron in hopes of correcting the manager's mistake in 6 above.
Major confusion because trainee and manager did not communicate properly
re: DoctortedNYC
I don't think LOTS of people pay the bill with a card and leave cash for tip, maybe 1-5% depending on the restaurant. I think the trainee misunderstood what he was told and refused the cash tip when he should have just left the cash in the folder with the signed credit card slip and not said anything.
The waiter stood by the table as i tried several times to hand the folder with the cash tip to him. I was not at this point going to leave it on the table for the maitre de to nail it.
I leave cash tips as they are taxed in NYC.
I find the wait staff is appreciative of this.

Wonder if it's the same solution?
