'Fashion Police' Writers File $1 Million Wage Complaint
They allege that they are hourly employees who are due overtime on the popular Joan Rivers-hosted E! series.
Writers on E!'s Fashion Police filed claims Wednesday with the California Division of Labor Standards Enforcement (DLSE) that could result in the cable TV network having to pay more than $1 million dollars in back wages, the Writers Guild announced. The writers allege that E! has broken state labor law by not compensating them for all of the regular and overtime hours they've worked, according to the guild.
The allegation is that Fashion Police ignores the California laws that require an employer to pay hourly employees their regular wage rate for all time worked in an eight-hour period. In addition, the law requires paying overtime for employment beyond eight hours in any workday or more than 40 hours in any workweek.
That's a correct statement of the law, but it's possible that the company is classifying the employees as salaried employees exempt from overtime. That's unknown at this point. E! didn't answer The Hollywood Reporter's question on this point, but did say "E! values our Fashion Police writers and we pay them fairly and in full legal compliance."
STORY: Ryan Lochte: I Want to Be the Next Kim Kardashian
In any case, whether DLSE (and the courts, if it goes that far) would agree with an hourly classification is undetermined.
"The most I've been paid for a show has been for eight hours of work," said Fashion Police writer Eliza Skinner in the WGA statement. "In reality, I put in anywhere from 12 to 32 additional hours on each show – time I should have been compensated for. On top of that is all the unpaid overtime we regularly work. There are some shows where we are required to work 16-hour days, from 2:30 p.m. until around 5:30 the following morning."
The WGA West assisted with the filing. That's an innovative tactic the guild has used before and is outside the scope of the union's collective bargaining agreements. Fashion Police, hosted by Joan Rivers, Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and George Kotsiopoulos, is a comedy-variety show and in any case is not covered by the WGA agreement. In fact, if it were, the WGA says that some overtime requirements would not be applicable.
The WGA declined to provide copies of the filings to THR.
"We love writing for Fashion Police, but the company needs to do the right thing and pay us fairly for all the hard work and time we put into it," said writer Bryan Cook in the WGA statement. "We've helped make it one of the network's top-rated shows and E! needs to start treating us like professional writers."

Summary: First published in 1988, Peter Brown's The Body and Societywas a groundbreaking study of the marriage and sexual practices of early Christians in the ancient Mediterranean and the Near East. To mark the twentieth anniversary of its publication, Columbia will make available an edition that features a new introduction by the author. Brown will discuss the reception of the book since its debut in the scholarly community as well as the influential thought and literature it has produced. ...show moreThe Body and Societyfocuses on the practice of permanent sexual renunciation-continence, celibacy, and life-long virginity-in Christian circles from the first to the fifth centuries AD. Brown follows early Christians' strange, disturbing preoccupations with sexuality and the body in great detail, tracing the reflection and controversy these notions generated among the period's great writers. Brown questions how theological views on sexuality and the human body both mirrored and shaped not only the uneven relationships between men and women, but also the complex interactions between the Roman aristocracy and their slaves, and between the married and the celibate. Figures discussed include Tertullian, Valentinus, Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Constantine, the Desert Fathers, Jerome, Ambrose, and Augustine, among others. Topics covered include asceticism and society in the Eastern Empire; martyrdom and prophecy; Gnostic spiritual guidance; promiscuity among the men and women of the church; monks and marriage in Egypt; the ascetic life of women in fourth-century Jerusalem; and-in order to ground the subject in a historical context-the body and society in the early Middle Ages. ...show lessEdition/Copyright: 2ND 08

"Steven, in regard to our recent sale of our property in which Haart in Basildon was instructed to be the estate agent.
Could you please pass on our thanks to your branch as every member of your team was in every way polite courteous and most importantly gave good clear accurate information.
As you are aware within the purchase of our new property we did have a few issues with the seller's agent which made this a very stressful transaction but with the help and professionalism of your team this helped not only push the purchase forward but also pacified and destressed the situation.
Please pass on our thanks to you and your team.
"A buyer found within hours, an excellent service, updates weekly, every member that we dealt with at haart were all very polite, courteous and nothing was ever too much trouble.Thank you once again everyone, could not have asked for anymore"
"We would like to let you know how much of a credit to you your Basildon branch are. We have just bought & sold through them and they were fantastic the whole way through. They always return calls when they say they will and bend over backwards to help in anyway they can.We were really impressed with the constant updates throughout the whole process. We don?t know what we would have done without the constant support of Steven Kelly and his team. Steven is most certainly leading by example, we had so many issues with the solicitors but Steven was there to deal with them and kept us constantly updated.It was thanks to him that we exchanged contracts when we did. We had dealings with others in the team, Louise, Luke, Mickey, Dan (a couple of different Dan?s) & Dave. All were fantastic. We would fully recommend your Basildon branch to anyone.Please pass on our thanks to Steven & his team, people are quick to moan and complain but we feel thanks and compliments are just as important. You really have a great team there"
"I can not thank the staff at haart enough for their fantastic service throughout the sale of my property. Not only were the staff polite, respectful, friendly and informative. They contacted me and kept me informed of developments through every step of placing my property on the market to exchanging contracts to the end sale. They were always friendly and cheerful even when there was a hiccup and reassured me that it would be sorted. True to their word it was always within hours. I would highly recommend haart in Basildon to everyone I know, they made the selling my property enjoyable and stress free. A fantastic service all round. Every member of Staff at haart Basildon went above and beyond to assist in my sale, I can not thank them enough for everything they have done for me. A truly a fantastic team of experts"

We would like to thank Steve for his diligence and drive in chasing other members and solicitors in our chain. He really went that extra mile for us and helped make the trying business of house sale and purchase much more bearable especially leading up to exchange and completion. First rate job Steve"
"Having had an excellent previous experience with haart Basildon I was happy to use them again when selling my property.
We had lots of problems with the sale of the property, the sale was extended and frankly it became a bit of a nightmare. Throughout this haart Basildon, in particular Steve and Scott, were really excellent, coordinating everything and communicating with us every step of the way. They kept all parties informed and interested throughout the delays which eventually ensured the sale went through.
I would happily use haart Basildon again and recommend them to anyone, the team went above and beyond and I am very grateful to them.

Hip-Hop is no stranger to personification. A classic example would be Common's I Used to Love H.E.R, but for a more recent case look no further than Hi-Rez, who treats Mary Jane, the plant, as if she were a real woman. While originally placed on his May '12 mixtape The Window, the visuals for Hi-Rez' single Growing Love are brand new. On the self-directed video, littered with news reports and pop culture references about the legalization of marijuana, Rez is seen lighting one up as he shares his love for the powerful and oh-so-popular plant. Backed by a drum driven production from Ako, Rez, despite his ever-blunted state, displays a crisp flow, used in a not-so-shy manner to trace the root (pun intended) of the topic at hand. Those who desire another hit of the Floridian's intoxicating style should check out his last Booth feature, December's The Remedy.

Loved this. Totally nailed what you described.
Interesting fact: Someone once told Chuck Norris that a roundhouse kick was not the best way to attack someone. This event has been recorded by historians to be the biggest mistake by anyone. Ever.
Rated 4.5 / 5 stars
The music's awesome, but you're wierd.
Dude, I like what you did with the music, but seriously shut your trap with the
chuck norris sh*t. He's a man. No matter how much ass a man kicks, he remains mortal.
Chuck norris is not a god, but he's got a sh*tload of fans. That wierdness, for me, is
the only reason why I gave you 9 *'s out of 10.
Thanks for the review! I realize that the Chuck Norris era is dead, but there's just some part of me that still likes to hear one those old jokes every now and then....maybe it's the visual of 40+ Karate dude doing all that crazy stuff. Oh well!

howdy folks-Clem Lane here. Lots of news out there tonight…..
"RACE AGAINST TIME"/US TO BEEF UP AIR MARSHAL FORCES OVERSEAS-From Brian Ross and Anna Schechter: "President Barack Obama has ordered a 'surge' of federal air marshals to be in place by Feb.1 in what officials said was a 'race against time,' with other suicide bombers believed to be in the terrorist pipeline, federal officials told ABC News. Under a preliminary plan, the officials said the already existing federal air marshal force of more than 3,200 personnel would be deployed almost exclusively to overseas flights flown by U.S. carriers. Domestic high-risk flights will be covered by agents from other federal law enforcement agencies who were trained as air marshals in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks." Appearing on WORLD NEWS, Ross told WORLD NEWS anchor Diane Sawyer that air marshals might have prevented the Christmas Day incident: "They watch and observe passengers as they board the flights. We're told that the suspect, (Umar Farouk) Abudlmutallab displayed many signs that would have caused him to be stopped. He was nervous, rubbing his forehead and had a 1000 yard stare, enough to trigger suspicions about him."
NEWARK AIRPORT SECURITY BREACH: The man who caused Sunday's security breach at Newark Airport remains unidentified but ABC News has learned what was caught on tape by Continental Airline cameras, since the TSA's cameras were NOT rolling. As David Muir reported on World News, "It all began when an unidentified man entered Newark's Terminal C through a passageway meant for arriving passengers only, walking right past a podium where a TSA security worker was supposed to be stationed." The breach happened in just over 2 minutes:
–5:20 p.m. surveillance images owned by Continental Airlines show the TSA officer responsible for preventing entry into the secure area of the concourse inexplicably walking away from his post.
– 5:21 p.m. a man who had been caught on camera loitering nearby walked through the exit lane into the sterile area.
–5:22 p.m. the TSA officer was back at his podium and at 5:23 p.m. a bystander was seen telling the TSA officer what happened.
The TSA has placed the officer on administrative leave. Aaron Katersky reports further on the security camera mess, "the entire episode should have been recorded on cameras set up inside the terminal that are owned by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the government agency that runs the airport, but the cameras were not working properly. It was TSA's responsibility to have noticed the breakdown. But Port Authority says TSA did not inform it about the faulty cameras until 6:40 p.m., at which point the TSA sought images from a redundant set of cameras owned by Continental." Sen. Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has called the two hour gap between the breach and confirmation "unacceptable." (thanks to Yvonne Lai for this entry)
PORTLAND FLIGHT SCRAMBLE AND MIAMI INCIDENT-Two incidents today….Authorities say two F-15 fighter jets escorted a commercial flight bound for Hawaii back to Portland International Airport after a passenger became disruptive. A spokesman for North American Aerospace Defense Command says the fighter jets intercepted Hawaiian Airlines flight 39 at about 1 p.m. Wednesday, shortly after the pilot decided to turn around. So what did the passenger do? The TSA released a statement which read in part "The captain made a decision to return the plane to Portland due to a suspicious passenger who made threatening remarks and refused to store his carry-on bag". The man was escorted away and the plane refueled and headed west to Hawaii again. The second incident involved a Northwest Airlines flight going from Miami to Detroit. The TSA released the following statement: "While Northwest Airlines Flight 2485 taxied prior to departure from Miami International Airport (MIA), a passenger was heard making inappropriate remarks and acting disruptively. The flight crew made the decision to return the plane to the gate. Local law enforcement and TSA met the aircraft upon its return and all passengers were deplaned. The passenger and three travel companions are being questioned by Miami Dade County police. The aircraft, bound for Detroit Wayne County International Airport (DTW), was swept with negative results and has been cleared for departure." Miami-Dade police would only confirm to Miami affiliate WPLG that they removed an unruly passenger from Flight 2485.
AIRPORT SCANNERS/HEALTH RISKS?-With airport scanners using x-rays about to deployed at airports throughout the country, health concerns are surfacing. Lisa Stark, reporting tonight on WORLD NEWS, notes that "exposures to X-rays, to radiation can increase the risk of cancer but the machine's manufacturers, and an independent study say the scanners pose little risk." The difference between these scanners and medical X-rays, Stark tells us, is that "most of the radiation does not enter the body, but bounces off the skin's surface." But one prominent scientist who has studied the issue extensively, David Brenner from the Columbia University Medical Center, suggests "pregnant women avoid the machines" according to Stark. Privacy concerns are also at issue-specifically as it pertains to the scanned pictures of children. Stark tells us it's a brewing controversy in Great Britain "so no one under age 18 goes through a scanner there and in the US no one under the age of 11." Still not convinced of the scanner's safety? Stark reminds that the "machines are optional-any worried passenger can choose a pat down instead."
NIGERIAN INDICTED FOR CHRISTMAS DAY TERROR ATTEMPT- Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the 23-year-old Nigerian accused of trying to blow up a Detroit-bound Northwest flight on Christmas Day was indicted today by a federal jury in Detroit on six counts including trying to use a weapon of mass destruction and attempted murder. If convicted, he could be facing life in prison. Jake Tapper, reporting for WORLD NEWS, notes that "on Friday Adbulmutallab will be arraigned and informed of his rights as a criminal defendant…and that is alarming news to many conservatives." Tapper tells us the controversy stems from how Mr. Abdulmutallab is classified. "This man is an enemy combatant" says Marc Theissen, a former Bush Administration senior advisor, "…and he should be treated as such" Tapper explains: "The conservatives argue for military commissions, where defendants have fewer rights. Once in the criminal justice system, they say, the government loses the opportunity to get intelligence." The White House begs to differ. Tapper: "The White House points out first that the Nigerian has already provided valuable intelligence. They also argue that even the Bush Administration successfully prosecuted terrorists-so-called 20th hijacker Zacarais Moussaoui and shoe-bomber Richard Reid-not in military commissions but in civilian criminal courts." Tapper also noted in his close the apparent support for the decision to pursue charges in criminal court from Secretary of Defense Robert Gates in yesterday's National Security meeting, according to White House sources, with Gates "saying that really there's very little variation in interrogations between what FBI officials can do and what Pentagon officials can do, unless of course you use those enhanced interrogation techniques that of course President Obama has banned."
BRENNAN REPORT RELEASED TOMORROW- Jake Tapper reports that "The White House says that an unclassified version of the review of intelligence failures that led to the failed Christmas Day attempt to explode Northwest Flight 253 will be released Thursday. The review, conducted by White House homeland security adviser John Brennan, will pinpoint the various failures of the intelligence community to "connect the dots," as President Obama put in on Tuesday."
HEALTH CARE REFORM/DEMS 2010-Health-care reform. With the Democratic Party still working on a compromise, news today that one of the few Republican supporters of the President's plan has changed his mind. California's Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said today "health care reform, which started as noble and needed legislation, has become a trough of bribes, deals and loopholes. You've heard of the bridge to nowhere. This is health care to nowhere." Jon Karl, reporting for WORLD NEWS, explains what prompted the Schwarzenegger about-face: "Schwarzenegger is lashing out because he says the bill hits California with big Medicaid costs and gives special treatment to Nebraska, thanks to a back-room deal negotiated by its Democratic Senator Ben Nelson." Whatever the Democrats decide upon in terms of health-care reform, they might want to be quick about it. Karl says "It's only going to get harder as the party faces a brutal election season." That election season will be without a number of Dems-Karl reports that "in just the last 24 hours, four leading Democrats have called it quits, leaving the political arena. Senators Chris Dodd(CT) and Byron Dorgan(ND), as well as the governor of Colorado and the party's top candidate for governor in Michigan." What's going on Rick Klein? Klein notes that "across the board Democrats are just looking at the 2010 environment and saying this is just not something I want to run in." Republicans sense an opportunity. Karl noted on WORLD NEWS that "some Republicans are now predicting opposition to health care will help them win back the House just as they did in the 1994 Republican landslide…Democrats say no chance." While the North Dakota loss spells trouble for the Democrats in a traditionally Republican state, no such worries about Connecticut. Karl noted in his close that "Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd was so politically damaged that Democrats actually have a better chance of keeping his seat Democratic now that he is not running for re-election."
BRRR, IT'S COLD IN HERE: Snow plowing is a 24/7 job across the Midwest as more snow and strong winds move through the region. Barbara Pinto is in Omaha, NE and reports, "the massive arctic blast is bringing bitter cold and bitter consequences. Treacherous temperatures have claimed at least 7 lives, some on icy roads." And snow removal budgets seem to be the only things melting away, with Omaha's already depleted and "cities like Des Moines have only a third of theirs left with winter barely underway." Bitter cold air will keep temperatures below zero in the Dakotas, northern Nebraska and western Minnesota Thursday. Wind chills will bottom out in the -20s, -30s and even -40s across these states.
-The South is also feeling the chill though Florida citrus and strawberry growers seemed to have skirted major crop damage as orange juice futures dropped from a 2-year high today as growers reported minimal damage from freeze warnings last night. Accuweather reports "last night's freeze may have damaged less than 1 percent of the crop." Further north, the cold air could bring light snow beginning late tonight in northern Arkansas and spreading to northern Mississippi and Tennessee by early Thursday morning… then moving across Alabama, eastern Tennessee and northern Georgia during the day.
-Snow showers will also continue in Northern New England and western New York tomorrow, with snow from the Midwest system eventually pushing into western Pennsylvania late in the day. On the bright side, at least sunny skies are expected along the I-95 corridor. (thanks to Yvonne Lai for this entry)
GITMO DETAINEE RECIDIVISM-From Luis Martinez: "The Pentagon's analysis of released Guantanamo detainees they say have returned to terrorism continues to show that the upward trend of the past two reports "has not been reversed." The analysis looks at released Guantanamo detainees who are confirmed or suspected of having returned to terrorist activities. That's from Pentagon Press Secretary Geoff Morrell who was asked at today's weekly briefing about a Bloomberg report that a new analysis shows the number had risen to 20 percent from the 14 percent in the report issued last April. Morrell says he could not release the numbers right now because they remain classified, 'I can't give you the numbers, other than to say that I do not believe that trend has reversed itself' he said.
A US official confirms to ABC that the Bloomberg report is accurate. Another official says the classified analysis was completed in late December and is in the process of being declassified for future release. It's the third such analysis. The first one, released in Dec. 2008 showed the recidivism rate was 11 percent. That number trended upward to 14 percent when the second report was released in April, 2009." More in his note to the Foreign News/Political DLs if you're interested.
GILBERT ARENAS-The NBA decided today that enough is enough. NBA commissioner David Stern has suspended Washington guard Gilbert Arenas indefinitely after he was photographed last night smiling and pointing his fingers at his teammates as if they were guns. Local and federal authorities are investigating Arenas, who's admitted bringing guns into the team's home locker room. In a statement released today by the NBA, commissioner David Stern said in part "Although it is clear that the actions of Mr. Arenas will ultimately result in a substantial suspension, and perhaps worse, his ongoing conduct has led me to conclude that he is not currently fit to take the court in an NBA game. Accordingly, I am suspending Mr. Arenas indefinitely, without pay, effective immediately pending the completion of the investigation by the NBA." Karen Travers adds that "A league source told ABC NEWS that the photo, Arenas' statements to the media and his prolific Twittering about the incident were certainly factors in the suspension and what Stern was referring to when he said 'ongoing conduct."
–Accused Holocaust Museum shooter JAMES VON BRUNN died today in a North Carolina prison hospital. Pierre Thomas reports "Source said in addition to the wounds sustained in the shooting, the subject had a long history of illness, including heart issues."

–Additional HOLIDAY SHOPPING figures released today focusing on on-line sales and mall traffic. On-line sales info courtesy comscore-$29.1 billion spent on line, 4% increase from last year. December 15 was the busiest day of the year – $913 million in sales. "Cyber Monday" was the second busiest day. Shopping at the mall info-The week after Christmas saw sales at malls rise 15.3% and traffic increase 3.5% compared to a year earlier. ShopperTrak said shoppers using gift cards and looking for bargains were largely responsible as well as pent up demand from the bad weather which slowed shopping. (Charles Herman)
–Former Montreal Expo and Chicago Cub outfielder ANDRE DAWSON was the lone pick for this year's Baseball Hall of Fame class. Dawson who hit over 400 home runs and had over 300 stolen bases (only Willie Mays and Barry Bonds can say the same) in his twenty-year career got elected in his ninth attempt.

News: Mika Zibanejad scored his ninth goal of the season, had an assist, was credited with four shots on goal, and was a plus-3 in Friday's win over the Ducks. Analysis: An all-around great fantasy night for Mika Zibanejad, who now has 17 points in 30 games on the season. After a slow start, Zibanejad has heated up, recording six goals and 11 points in his last nine games. Skating on the second line with Bobby Ryan, the 21-year-old could hit the 25-goal mark in 2014-15, making him worthy of a look right now.
News: Erik Karlsson collected a pair of helpers in Friday's win over Anaheim. Analysis: Erik Karlsson now has points in two straight games after being held off the scoresheet in his previous three game. The 24-year-old has seven goals and 23 points in 32 games on the season, to go with a minus-12 rating. He sits second in the NHL with 124 shots on goal and is one of the best offensive defenseman in the game. Keep him rolling.
News: Kyle Turris remained red-hot on Friday, scoring a highlight-reel shorthanded goal and adding an assist in a win over the Ducks. Analysis: Kyle Turris has been lighting it up lately, riding a five-game point streak in which he has recorded three goals and seven points. With 23 points (seven goals) in 32 games, the 25-year-old is proving to be a reliable fantasy option this season. He has scored the game-winning goal in back-to-back games and has never gone more than three games without appearing on the scoresheet. His consistency and top-line role makes him worth a look right now.
News: Brock Nelson scored his 14th goal of the season, had an assist, and was credited with six shots on goal in Friday's win over Detroit. Analysis: Brock Nelson has now tallied 26 points in 32 games this season, to go with a plus-6 rating. With eight power-play goals and a plus-6 rating, the 23-year-old has been a fantasy gem in 2014-15. Centering the third line and playing on the top power-play unit with John Tavares, Nelson could reach 30 goals and 60 points this season. He should be owned in almost all leagues.
News: Jaroslav Halak made 17 saves on 18 shots in Friday's win over the Red Wings. Analysis: Jaroslav Halak has now won three straight games, allowing only five goals in that span. He is 17-6-0 this season with a .918 save percentage and 2.30 GAA. The 29-year-old is an elite fantasy option on an Islanders team that sits second in the Eastern Conference with 44 points. Keep him rolling.
News: Dustin Tokarski made 28 saves in a start for AHL Hamilton on Friday, but was on the losing end of a 4-2 game against St. John's. Analysis: Dustin Tokarski, who will start Sunday afternoon against Texas, has gotten little action of late with Montreal, so he was sent down to Hamilton to get a couple of weekend starts. He's fully expected to be recalled following the holidays when the Habs have a few back-to-backs on the schedule.
News: David Desharnais was moved to left wing on the third line in Friday's practice, Hockey Inside Out reports. Lars Eller (upper body) returned from injury and reclaimed his spot at center of the third line. Analysis: With P.A. Parenteau skating at right wing, this will be the third-line configuration for Saturday night's game against Ottawa. Head coach Michel Therrien explained his vision to David Desharnais, telling the forward that it's best for the team if he can adapt to many positions. Reading between the lines, this likely means Alex Galchenyuk will remain the center of the top line.
News: Carter Ashton has completed his 20-game suspension for violating the league's performance enhancing substances protocol and has been reinstated onto the Leafs' active roster, James Mirtle of The Globe and Mail reports. He will now head to AHL Toronto for a conditioning stint, according to David Alter of MapleLeafs.com. Analysis: Since he hasn't been able to play since early November, Carter Ashton will likely spend multiple games on the assignment before he's called back up to the parent club. Ashton had largely served as a healthy scratch for the Leafs prior to his suspension, making just six appearances on the season. He'll likely see limited duty again once he rejoins the Leafs.
News: Henrik Lundqvist will be between the pipes Saturday against the Hurricanes. Analysis: Coach Alain Vigneault is expected to split the starts between Henrik Lundqvist and Cam Talbot for the team's weekend back-to-back, but that plan could change if King Henrik submits a dominant outing Saturday. Given that Lundqvist is riding a four-game winning streak and will be facing a Carolina squad that ranks second-last in the league with 21 points, he should be viewed as one of the better goalie plays on the Saturday slate.
News: Jordie Benn (illness) has been ruled out from playing Friday against the Flames, Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Jordie Benn participated in the Stars' morning skate Friday, but coach Lindy Ruff decided to err on the side of caution and give him another day to recover from the illness. Jamie Oleksiak will join the lineup in Benn's stead.

I would actually DO the games if she is shy, to take the focus off of her and give people her a chance to interact casually with new aquaintances.
I'd do really casual ones that people don't HAVE to participate in, but that incourage some interaction. For example, at different areas around the room you could have things like "write advice for the bride and groom." Another station could have something like "guess the spice." (the bride gets new spices) A 3rd station could have some sort of table linen item (like a few cloth napkins or dish drying towels) that people could sign or even decorate.
If you are doing finger food, people could mingle, eat, and particpate as desired.

Anyway, the shower was held in the church nursery room, and there were probably 30 women there. The ONLY people there I had ever met before were my DH's mom and sister. They had the chairs for the guests set up in rows, like you would for a class or something. So I sat up front in a chair at a table, and they all sat there and watched me open my gifts like I was on stage. My DH came after most of the shower was over so he could say hello to everyone (he doesn't get back home very often living so far away). He said the seating arrangement seemed a little confrontational.
And every time I opened a gift, it was like "Oh, this is from Mary Smith... umm..." and Mary Smith would have to raise her hand because of course I had no idea who she was, and it was just so awkward.
Everyone was nice, it was just bizarre being at a bridal shower where you know no one. And they did have cake and punch.

I don't think you'd want to do one like mine!
DH and I had rented a house a couple of months before we got married and we needed that much time to clean it and make it fit to live in again.
The previous renters were filthy pigs, and it took the landlady a long time to force them out. So, they left a mess.
Anyway, we were close to being done by the time our wedding was a couple weeks away so my maid-of-honor got the bright idea to "surprise me" by having a shower for me, at OUR house.
We had very little furniture, but someone brought a bunch of folding chairs. There were no decorations, and back then (1975) showers were basically just cake and punch, play a couple games and open the gifts.
I was wearing bib overalls and of course had nothing to change into.
There were about 20-25 people there and the main thing that I remember was a couple of DH's aunts made a really cute gift. They took a mop bucket and filled it with cleaning supplies, in the center was a broom and rolls of paper towel were covering the handle. They had attached a paper plate to the top of the broom for a "face" and her eyes were steel wool scrubbies (don't remember what her nose and mouth were), they tied a red bandana around the top of her "head", wooden spoons were her arms, and they even tied an apron around her waist. It was so unusual that I've never forgotten it.
It was nice being surprised, but I would have enjoyed it more had it been somewhere else.
OMG you should see me when I'm driving

I wanted a backyard barbeque but what a fiasco that started. I didn't want to be stuck in some restaurant/hall and then rushed out because time was up. I wanted a laid back, relaxed shower. Figured I'd have it MIL's backyard since she lived in the town where most of the attendees were from (and where I lived). My mother got herself in a tizzy because SHE was the mother of the bride and it should be at her house. Unfortunately that meant everyone would have to travel. It was only convenient for her. MIL, in turn, threatened that no one from DH's side would come. My MOH let me in on what was going on and I told her to tell them all to go to (well you get the idea). Anyway, I told her she was MOH and she should do what she wanted.
They had it in a hall, but was definitely backyard barbeque themed. Red and white checked plastic table clothes, plastic bugs on the tables, plastic water guns, bubbles... the bridal party and I sat in lawn chairs, they had a little plastic kiddie pool for me to soak my feet in, bought a small portable grill and had plastic doggie toys (steak, hot dog, burgers) on it. Everyone was told to wear comfortable, yard type clothing and they brought shorts and a tshirt for me to change into. I LOVED IT! I honestly can't remember whether it was sitdown or buffet style (it was 20 years ago) but I remembered how impressed I was with the whole theme.

11am on a Sunday morning, had about 10 people in attendance at a diner several of us had thought about trying. My daughter (24) and my now SIL put the shower on. The diner reserved a section of the patio for us, we played a couple games waiting for food to be served and opened gifts waiting for the check and just talking. It was very nice.
Now my daughter (22) is getting married next month and my daughter (24) is throwing her shower, it is a pot luck and a friends house on a Sunday afternoon. Everyone will bring a dish and the recipe for the dish to compile a cookbook. We live in FL, my daughter is getting married in TN, the shower will be in FL. Now her fmil had a shower for her in October, and had made ham, mac/cheese, beans, salad, vegi cups and had ring sandwiches. It was very nice. We played a couple games, ate, opened gifts had dessert.

My shower was held on a Saturday afternoon in the community center of the small town my my lived in. Relatives, friends, co-workers. My mom, grandma, MIL and bridal hosted. We had hot chicken sandwiches, meatballs and salads. My aunt made my cake. We didn't do any games but each guest was asked to fill out a card with a piece of advice for DH and I. As I opened gifts, I picked cards and read the advice. Some were very funny, some were very touching.
Ironically, we all met exactly one year later for my baby shower!

I hosted a bridal shower for my niece two years ago. We did a really fun game that would probably work well for a shy bride because all she has to do is be a judge. Here's how it works:
Divide your group into smaller groups of 3 or 4 people. Have each group designate who is going to be their "model". Give each group a roll of toilet paper and tell them they have to design an entire wedding dress including veil, flowers , etc entirely out of toilet paper for their model to wear. Give each group 10 minutes to dress their bride model. They came up with some creative bridal outfits and the bride picked the winning dress and team. Everyone really had fun and was laughing by the end of the game so it was a nice ice breaker.

I've only been to two showers, one was held in someone's home and the other was in the back area of a family style Chinese restaurant.
That restaurant one was more fun because I was older. It was for my cousin's bride to be. There were games, mainly about how well you know the bride and groom. That was awkward, I'm not especially close with my family so I didn't know a whole lot.
Personally, I wouldn't mind if mine (if the time ever comes! Prince Charming where the heck are ya?!) was held in a home. I would prefer a restaurant, and the afternoon tea makes me think somewhere at the Grand Floridian would be perfect but way too expensive.

Mine was 2 months before our wedding at a local restaurant. I don't remember exactly how many people were there, but definitely no more than 20. Most of the guests were close friends and family of my MIL (as were most of the wedding guests - I only have a few female friends, my mother, and her BFF who is like another mother to me). It was hosted by my MIL, DH's sister (my MOH and only attendant) and DH's SIL (our reader). It was in the early afternoon on a Sunday; after lunch and before dinner, so it wasn't packed. We had a room to ourselves and a lovely buffet. The restaurant actually doesn't have desserts, so MIL was able to bring in an outside cake. It was very small and relaxed and wonderful - just like our wedding!
We all liked the restaurant so much that we had our rehearsal dinner there as well - and DH and I went back for our first anniversary dinner

I had three showers, and my favorite was hosted by my aunts. They hosted a tea party at my parents' house, and people came and went over a few hours. It was simple, not overwhelming, and I was able to visit with small groups of people. There were no games, thank goodness!

I had two showers, one with family and my mother's close friends who I knew rather well. For that one we did a brunch thing at 1030am and we had egg casserole, cinnamon rolls, fruit and mimosa's(coffee, tea and water as well) and after we ate I opened gifts and we talked. I loved it!
The second was more of a lingerie shower with friends. Lots of booze and other things.... haha. I won't go into it more.

In my experience, bridal and baby showers are a lot more elaborate then those described. (so it may be a regional question). Never any games, never never.
Restaurant, Hall or Hotel banquet room. 50-100 people. catered food, entertainment, elaborate decorations and favors. Semi formal attire (ladies who lunch type suits, dresses, heels, full makeup and jewelry)

Harper Perennial has just published the anthology Blue Collar, White Collar, No Collar: Stories of Work, edited by Richard Ford, which contains many of the authors you might expect, such as Russell Banks and John Cheever, and some you might not, like Donald Barthelme and Jeffrey Eugenides. There's one author, though, that seems to be a particularly conspicuous omission: Raymond Carver. Not only is Carver a working-class literary icon, he's also one of Ford's favorites. An editor's note at the end of the text explains that the Carver estate declined to allow his story "Elephant" to be included in the volume. Still, those interested in the ways that work is portrayed in fiction should pick up Ford's anthology, and read Gerald Howard's excellent Tin House essay "Never Give an Inch."

Volkswagen (abbreviated VW) is a German automobile manufacturer and the original and biggest-selling marque of the Volkswagen Group, which now also owns the Audi, Bentley, Bugatti, Ducati, Lamborghini, SEAT, 49.9% of Porsche, Giugiaro, and Škoda marques and the truck manufacturer Scania.
Volkswagen means "people's car" in German, in which it is pronounced [ˈfɔlksˌvaːɡən]. Its current tagline or slogan is Das Auto (The Car).
Volkswagen has three cars in the top 10 list of best selling cars of all time compiled by the website 24/7 Wall St: the Volkswagen Golf, the Volkswagen Beetle, and the Volkswagen Passat. With these three cars, Volkswagen has the most cars of any automobile manufacturer in the list that are still being manufactured
Volkswagen was originally founded in 1937 by the Nazi trade union, the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront). In the early 1930s German auto industry was still largely composed of luxury models, and the average German rarely could afford anything more than a motorcycle. As a result only one German out of 50 owned a car. Seeking a potential new market, some car makers began independent "peoples' car" projects – Mercedes' 170H, Adler's AutoBahn, Steyr 55, Hanomag 1,3L, among others.

Womens Traditional Clothing
Omani women wear eye-catching national costumes, with distinctive regional variations. The choice of colours, particularly in the past, was linked to a tribe's tradition. However, all costumes incorporate vivid colours, vibrant embroidery and decorations. The Omani women's traditional costume is comprised of several garments. The dishdasha which is a long tunic whose sleeves are adorned with hand-stitched embroidery of various designs. The dishdasha is worn over a pair of loose fitting trousers, tight at the ankles, known as a sirwal. Women also wear a head shawl most commonly referred to as the lihaf. In today's fast-paced world, the women of Oman are opting for practicality and reserve wearing their traditional dress for special occasions. In its place women now choose to wear a loose black cloak called an abaya over their personal choice of clothing, whilst in some regions, particularly amongst the Bedouin, a face mask known as a burqa is still worn.

She's no stranger to massive industry events, and Jennifer Aniston worked the red carpet like a pro at the 2013 People's Choice Awards earlier tonight (January 9).
Today marks one week since the deadly shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, and many of our favorite famous folks have joined forces for a powerful Public Service Announcement.
Though most people are all about showing love and good cheer this holiday season, One Million Moms is launching another protest against Ellen DeGeneres and JC Penney.
The conservative activist group, a part of the American Family Association, has begun its second such campaign this year, opposing Penney's use of DeGeneres as a spokesperson because of her homosexual orientation.
While families across America sit down to enjoy a great meal together, Hollywood is also taking a moment to express gratitude on this Thanksgiving Day (November 22).
Whether it's sharing their Turkey Day plans or giving their friends and followers an extra thank you, celebrities of all kinds took to Twitter to offer up special holiday messages.
Taking care of some media duties, Jennifer Lawrence showed up at "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" to promote her new movie "Silver Linings Playbook."
And during the course of their chat, the "Hunger Games" gal ratted out her mom for stealing her Oscar ballot and filling it out while she was out of town.
Stopping by to promote her new music, Kelly Clarkson appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" on Tuesday (November 20).
The country crooner performed her new single, "Catch My Breath" after chatting with the happy host about life and love.
Her sense of humor is unparalleled, and Ellen DeGeneres was in full-on prank mode when Sofia Vergara dropped by her show.
The "Modern Family" actress was surprised to see Ellen poking fun at her Emmy Awards wardrobe mishap during her appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show."
Stepping foot for the first time on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Emma Watson opened up about her dating life on Tuesday afternoon (October 16).
After discussing her brand new film "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," the 22-year-old actress talked to Ellen about the severe cultural differences between American and British boys.

Bean & Ham Soup is the best homemade appetizer I have tasted. I made this rich broth soup today, and got rave reviews. Also it's easy to prepare and a good way of using a leftover ham bone.

This savory soup is something I have never tasted before! I would like to add some veggies to this appetizer.

To the Editor: What kind of teacher could be a mentor?
Forty years ago, I had a black driver's ed teacher named Mr. Caldwell, and a white one whose name I can't remember. Both were top-notch and well respected and liked. But Caldwell impressed me—e.g., when he scolded us boys that it was high time we wore a wallet, anyway.
Or so I thought. I know now, all these politically-correct decades later, he couldn't possibly have had a positive impact on me: I'm white! Nor, for the same reason, could I ever have really learned much from him: he was black! Nor could he have helped me with my lack-of-self-confidence issues, which I now know white kids don't suffer from anyway.
Caldwell did exude self-confidence. He was trim, erect, dapper, polite, well groomed and well spoken. But he couldn't possibly have mentored me in any way, even just by example, because, although I didn't understand this all correctly way back then, he and I were worlds—or races—apart. Oil and water.
But I assure you, if I, or anyone else, had looked up to him, it would not have been for his salary, but rather only for his unique personhood. That's something else we were benighted about in olden times: no one was required, or even expected, to carry his whole race, or to bog it down, through a heightened, or an absent, sense of responsibility; to reach down to someone who's not even reaching up; to "help" by making school less and less what it's supposed to be.
