Soon I will have to implement a public API (web API). One of the requests will be that we will need to provide different methods to do the same (for example, REST and SOAP), my initial approach is as this.
Make a Controller for the REST Make a Controller for the SOAP
Use a common Facade class that will handle requests from the REST and the SOAP interface, the Facade class will be in charge of accessing the internals of the system (directly or indirectly, dome DAOs could be used...etc).
Code will be written in Java, most likely will use Spring-MVC among other techs.
Question here is. Does this make sense to you? Is it too absurd? Do you feel any over-architecture here? Any suggestions/experiences/best practices?
Thanks for your time :)

"Portsmouth" Top 5 Page for this destination Portsmouth by kevin36
Portsmouth Travel Guide: 312 reviews and 766 photos
Spinnaker Tower:
170M High from water level to the tip of the pinnacle.
Just recently opened after a 5 year delay,but it was worth waiting for with spectacular views across the harbor to the Isle of Wight.
The eternal lift travels at 4mtrs per second,taking you to the view decks in just 30seconds.
There is also an outside lift which was not in operation at the time we went there,as of the 27th May 2007 was still not in operation.(its not for me) being scared of heights,but if you want the thrill it will cost you £2:00 extra, if they ever get it going again.
At night it is a spectacular sight,being ultra violet blue is very modern looking.
the time we were there we were privileged to see it in multi colors,being the Trafalgar Celebrations.
It really is well worth a trip
Panoramic lift 2.00 per person.
These were the prices re above click on the Link.
Two video clips for you, Gosport & Spinnaker tower video
Fact File:
concrete used to build the Tower would fill five and a half Olympic size swimming pools.
The tower is founded on 84 piles,the longest of which runs 50mtrs into the ground,the equivalent of Nelsons column
The total weight of the tower exceeds 30.000tons
The external glass lift glides to the top in 90 seconds.
there are three viewing platforms: Level 1:100M
Level 2 :105M
Level 3 :110M(The Crows Nest)
I have included more photos in the Travelogue Section
- Pros:Fantastic transport links,Train,Bus,Hover Craft,Fast Cat and Ferrys
- Cons:None to speak of
- In a nutshell:Portsmouth seems to be looked after very well with transport links and events.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23, 2004 – The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service today certified a petition for shrimp producers in Louisiana under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) for Farmers program. They become eligible to apply for TAA benefits on Jan. 10, 2005.
Under the TAA program, USDA provides technical assistance and cash benefits to farmers and certain fishermen if increasing imports of a like or directly competitive commodity contributed importantly to a decline in producer prices and a loss of net farm or fishing income.
After an investigation, FAS determined that increasing imports of frozen and fresh whole shrimp contributed importantly to a decline in the landed price of shrimp in Louisiana during 2003 when compared to the applicable 1998-2002 base period.
Shrimpers who land and market their shrimp in Louisiana must apply for TAA benefits between Jan. 10 and April 11, 2005. They may obtain an application for TAA benefits (form FSA-229) from http://forms.sc.egov.usda.gov/eforms/mainservlet or from their local Farm Service Agency (FSA) service center. They can check their local phone listings for the closest service center or go to http://fsa.usda.gov and click on "your local office" for contact information. General information about the TAA program can be found on the program's Web site at http://www.fas.usda.gov/itp/taa/taaindex.htm.
As part of the 2005 TAA program, shrimpers who apply for TAA benefits are eligible for a variety of technical courses at no cost. Applicants must obtain technical assistance prior to July 11, 2005, in order to be eligible for financial payments. Financial payments will not be made until after applications are certified.

Course website on Moodle
You may see MyMathLab listed as "4th edition"--this applies to MyMathLab itself, not to the textbook. The access code you purchase will allow you to access one course through MyMathLab; when you use it to access MA339 with the CourseID which I will supply, it will give you access to the correct edition (5th) of the Lay textbook.
If you buy the access code only but want a printed textbook at the lowest possible cost, you could pick up a copy of either the fourth or third edition (new or used) at potentially lower cost. These editions have essentially the same text (at least in the chapters we will cover) and thus will be fine for studying; you'll still have access to the exercises from the fifth edition (which are different) via MyMathLab.

"Fond Memories of Turkey Run State Park" Top 5 Page for this destination Indiana Off The Beaten Path Tip by deecat
Indiana Off The Beaten Path: 49 reviews and 66 photos
One of my fondest memories was going with my family to Turkey Run State Park. Its name comes from the great flocks of wild turkeys that once inhabited the area and sheltered themselves beneath the overhanging cliffs.
My most vivid memory is of the Narrows Covered Bridge (1882 that spans the Sugar Creek. On the north Portal is a sign that reads: "$5.00 fine for driving or riding over this bridge faster than a walk"!
On a hill north of the bridge is a brick house built by Salmon Rusk (1841) who was given the land via a land grant for his military service.
This park is famous for its scenic hikes through beautiful sandstone canyons. If I recall, there are about ten hiking trails that range from easy to rugged. More importantly, however, are the deep rock-walled prehistoric canyons and the shallow winding streams that twist through solid rock. I also enjoyed the cliffs, the forest, and the spooky suspension bridge.
I remember they had a nice swimming pool, picknick tables, a Nature Center, a bird observation room, a planetarium, and a saddle barn.
It's funny, but I sometimes have flashbacks of wading through those shallow creeks at Turkey Run State Park after all these years!

This is the end of the chapter, isn't it. Paulo decides to try harder to tolerate being such a low priority for Jazz, but then by tomorrow Jazz has heard all sorts of rumors about Paulo and Lucy, avoids Paulo even more than usual all day, and when school gets out he tries to talk to her while she's walking home (it's raining lightly at this point, by the way) to find out why she's angry, but she just accuses him of cheating, causing an argument that ends with Paulo saying he should be cheating with Lucy, since she'd be a better girlfriend, and then Jazz says she never wants to see him again and storms off, leaving Paulo to calm down enough to realize what he said and then just stand there, depressed, staring in the direction she had left in, as the rain picks up.

Financial Assistance Application
See the Financial Assistance section below to download the application and for instructions on how to apply.
Mt. Washington Pediatric Hospital has a Patient Financial Assistance program to help families with the costs of their child's medical care.
When you schedule care here for your child, our authorization or admissions staff will help determine how much of the cost is covered by insurance, and how much of the cost will be your responsibility. (We do this as a courtesy - it is each family's responsibility to understand their own coverage and benefits.) It is your responsibility to provide us with correct and complete information about your health insurance. If your coverage changes, it is your responsibility to promptly provide us with the new information. Physician services are billed separately but are discussed as part of the total estimated cost.
Unless other arrangements are made in advance, we require that 1/2 of any estimated self-pay balance be paid on the first day of care, and that the rest be paid weekly over the course of treatment.
If you are concerned about paying the self-pay portion of your child's care, you have the right to apply to Mt. Washington for patient financial assistance. We provide full assistance to families at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines; partial assistance to families with incomes up to 300% of the federal poverty guidelines; and assistance on a case-by-case basis to families with incomes above the 300% level.
You may be eligible for one or both of these programs:
For questions regarding these programs, or an application for financial assistance, call:
For any questions regarding hospital bills or payment, call the Patient Accounting office at 410-578-2614. To apply for health care coverage under the Maryland Health Care Connection, visit www.marylandhealthconnection.gov or call 1-855-642-8572; TTY 1-855-642-8573

I was really suprised that i actually broke into a sweat during the class, specially the 'boxfit' classes! The next day I was sore and knew It was a great workout! Will defo be booking more sessions at this Health Club...its clean..staff are helpful and friendly...did I mention its clean!!!
Reformer pilates is awesome! I never knew I could be so flexiable. The studio is nice, contemporary..the only downside was the pace of the class..way to advanced for a beginner. Although the instructor did try and give me some extra support, i felt it could have been better if they held more classes for beginners/intermediates.
I loved this class, it was the perfect pace, great instructor who was attentive and tailored each move to each of us. Im now a huge fan of reformer pilates and could feel the workout two days after. I feel my posture has improved too. Will defo be going back!
I really like this Health Club, the only downside was the limited evening classes offered. Apart from that it was an awesome 3day workout, i felt the burn and its encouraged me to maintain a fitness regime!
Bootcamp rocks!!! The sessions varied, Neil and Adam really push you..that you can feel it for a few days after! The centre is great and i love the location! I have bought more sessions at covent garden bootcamp!
The trainer was nice, although she was late and did not do a full 45mins class! I did feel the burn the next day. I was not really impressed with the actual gym, it lacked any wow factor, there was a lack of facilities and classes. I probably would not recommend this gym, unless you live literally outside and want something for convenience.

He retired to spend time during his daughter Niki's junior and senior years of high school so he could be a part of her activities, and made a tradition of supporting all of his grandchildren and nieces since then in these endeavors.
In 2000, Buzz went to work part-time at Fall Creek Winery in Tow doing tours and wine tastings. Although he enjoyed his job and the people he met through this job immensely, Buzz worked only part-time so he could spend time doing what he loved most, watching his grandkids participate in their events. Buzz loved attending all of the football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, baseball and track events. Buzz was a mainstay and the number one supporter at nearly all of their events.
Buzz was a member of Lutie Watkins Memorial United Methodist Church. He was a member and contributor of many church organizations.
He attended an Emmaus Walk in Junction in 1988 and served on numerous teams after that. He was Lay Leader of Walk #163. This lead to Buzz becoming a member of two weekly Emmaus groups, with Jim Cone and Shep Shepard for more than 25 years and with Bill Klotz, Bill Holt, Bill Spain, and David Willmann for 10 years. He led Cornerstone Sunday School class for more than 20 years, participated in LWMUMC Men's Tuesday Breakfast group and did devotionals every week. He was also part of a Prayer Group, praying every Tuesday at the church (with Jim Mitchell and Taylor Virdell, and recently with Worth Green).
Although Buzz had not lived in North Carolina in years, he was a devout North Carolina Tar Heels fan, sporting his blue North Carolina cap every game day. He was a man who loved his family, friends and being with people. He will be missed and celebrated by all who knew him.
Memorials may be made to Lutie Watkins Memorial UMC, P. O. Box 397, Llano, Texas 78643.

US looks at ways to prevent spying on its spying
WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. government is looking at ways to prevent anyone from spying on its own surveillance of Americans' phone records.
As the Obama administration considers shifting the collection of those records from the National Security Agency to requiring that they be stored at phone companies or elsewhere, it's quietly funding research to prevent phone company employees or eavesdroppers from seeing whom the U.S. is spying on, The Associated Press has learned.
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence has paid at least five research teams across the country to develop a system for high-volume, encrypted searches of electronic records kept outside the government's possession. The project is among several ideas that would allow the government to discontinue storing Americans' phone records, but still search them as needed.
Under the research, U.S. data mining would be shielded by secret coding that could conceal identifying details from outsiders and even the owners of the targeted databases, according to public documents obtained by The Associated Press and AP interviews with researchers, corporate executives and government officials.
In other developments Monday:
—The Justice Department and leading Internet companies agreed to a compromise with the government that would allow the firms to reveal how often they are ordered to turn over information about their customers in national security investigations. The deal with Google Inc., Microsoft Corp., Yahoo Inc., Facebook Inc. and LinkedIn Corp. would provide public information in general terms. Other technology companies were also expected to participate.
—Published reports said new documents leaked by former NSA contactor Edward Snowden suggest that popular mapping, gaming and social networking apps on smartphones can feed the NSA and Britain's GCHQ eavesdropping agency with personal data, including location information and details such as political affiliation or sexual orientation. The reports, published by The New York Times, the Guardian and ProPublica, said the intelligence agencies get routine access to data generated by apps such as the Angry Birds game franchise or the Google Maps navigation service.
—When the New York Times published a censored U.S. document on the smartphone surveillance program, computer experts said they were able to extract what appeared to be the name of an NSA employee, a Middle Eastern terror group the program was targeting and details about the types of computer files the NSA found useful. Since Snowden began leaking documents in June, his supporters have maintained they have been careful not to disclose any agent's identity or operational details that would compromise ongoing surveillance. The employee did not return phone or email messages from the AP. A DNI spokesman said they asked the Times to redact, or black out, the material. A Times spokeswoman blamed a "production error" and said the section was redacted.
—NBC News reported that British cyber spies demonstrated a pilot program to their U.S. partners in 2012 in which they were able to monitor YouTube in real time and collect addresses from the billions of videos watched daily, as well as some user information, for analysis. At the time the documents were printed, they were also able to spy on Facebook and Twitter. The network said the monitoring program was called "Squeaky Dolphin."
Under pressure, the administration has provided only vague descriptions about changes it is considering to the NSA's daily collection and storage of Americans' phone records, which are presently kept in NSA databanks. To resolve legal, privacy and civil liberties concerns, President Barack Obama this month ordered the attorney general and senior intelligence officials to recommend changes by March 28 that would allow the U.S. to identify suspected terrorists' phone calls without the government holding the phone records itself.

James R. White
84, of Gnadenhutten, passed away at Trinity Hospital Twin City in Dennison on Sunday, Dec. 29, 2013 after a period of declining health. Born Nov. 21, 1929 in Tippecanoe, he was a son of the late Otis Odell and Minnie Catherine (Holmes) White. A lifelong resident of the area, Jim attended Bowerston High School before leaving school to enlist in the U.S.
at the age of 16. He proudly served his country at the close of
World War II
and during the
Korean War
. He was shot and captured by the Chinese Army when he was 18 years old, but returned to service eventually earning 2
Purple Heart
s, 2 Bronze Stars and 2 Silver Stars for his meritorious service. He was a member of the Veterans of Underaged Military Service and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post #7943 in Tuscarawas. In 2000, he was inducted into the Military Hall of Fame in Columbus, Ohio. Jim spent 22 years employed by Tusco Manufacturing until 1977 when he embarked upon the career that he would enjoy for the rest of his life as a self-employed leasing agent in the local gas and oil industry. He started his leasing career with Burning Hollow Coal and primarily worked with Valley Mining and Everflow Eastern throughout his many years as a land agent, and he was a member of a variety of gas and oil professional associations. He was also a life member of the Dennison Eagles where he was the eldest member. For a number of years in his retirement, Jim enjoyed making deliveries for his daughter's flower shop, the former Alexander's Floral.
On Oct. 2, 1952, Jim married the former Johanna M. Verhovec who survives him at their home. They celebrated 61 years of loving marriage this past fall, and he joyfully observed that he and Johanna spent 61 Christmases together. He is also survived by their two daughters, Karen (Tom) Miller and Kelli (Chris) Edwards of Gnadenhutten; grandchildren, Amanda Miller of Gnadenhutten, Rebecca Miller of Dover, Kyle Miller of New Philadelphia, Alexander, Braden and Rachael Cotsmire of Gnadenhutten, and Christopher Edwards of New Philadelphia; a great-grandson, Brody Miller of Sugarcreek; and numerous nieces and nephews. The last of his family's generation, Jim was preceded in death by nine siblings, Ed, Jessie, George, Otis Jr., Mary Jane, David, Fred, Robert and Anna, in addition to his parents.
Services for Jim, officiated by Jim Shamel, will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 3, in the R.K. Lindsey Funeral Home in Dennison. Interment will follow in Gnadenhutten's Clay-Union Cemetery with a military committal service by members of the Tuscarawas V.F.W. Post. Family and friends are invited to call at the funeral home from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Thursday. Those wishing to honor Jim's memory by a charitable contribution are encouraged to do so to T4C, 1458 5th St. N.W., New Philadelphia, OH 44663 in keeping with his spirit of supporting local charities with a focus on children and their well-being.

Mario Bonifaciocommented on a post on Blogger.
I'm with you for most of these. Great post. I've always been curious about #3 and particularly the possibility of staggering people's work hours. Of course, the problem comes when you need to work with other people to get your own job done. That said, for service economy stuff -- like getting my clothes dry cleaned, dropping off packages at the post office, and so forth -- I wonder why more competitors haven't tried shifting work during "normal" off hours
I definitely relate to this! The way my husband and I combat this is that his work is during the second shift, so we get errands done during "normal hours" and then do our work while everyone else is off work or asleep.

I am new to R and I am just learning about the
apply functions and how they work. I simply want to extract the coefficients from a
lm fit on a variable x by product color and brand across a several years.
I know I can create a for loop and subset the data by model year and fit it, but I think its time I start using more built in functions, so I want to be able to do it with the by function or one of the apply functions. Here is what I was thinking.
#some made up data
#now I want to fit the model lm(x~color+brand) for each year level
#this is what I was thinking...
tmp<-with(d,by(x,year,function(y) lm(x~color,data=y)))

"Costa Rica" Costa Rica by michanth
Costa Rica Travel Guide: 5,963 reviews and 13,931 photos
My reason and probably most people's reason to visit Costa Rica is the rainforest. I will go back and spend at least 2 weeks. This was just a tease for us. The people of Costa Rica were warm & friendly & the countryside we visited was beautiful.
Banano's, bananos, and more bananos—in fact, Costa Rica produces about 2 million tons of premium bananos a year, 20% of the world's total. For the Costa Rican economy, bananos rank second only to tourism.
So needless to say, banano's are money to Costa Rica.
Interesting enough the banano plant is not a tree but a giant herb and a member of the lily family. It is the largest plant on earth without a woody stem, and grows as high as 25 feet in one year.
More coming..........

How to Become a Girl Magnet
Are you crazy over girls and want them to be crazy over you? These tips should be most helpful to get a girl to like you.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Be confident in yourself. If you're not confident, a girl will pick up on you as desperate for anyone to go out with you or just awkward to be around. If you are constantly talk about what's wrong with you, you'll be blind to what's good about you.
2Have a sense of humor, as girls love that. Just crack an occasional joke and laugh at their jokes.
3Flirt with girls. Girls love it when a guy flirts with them, no matter who it is.
4Have good hygiene. If you want a girl's attention, have good smelling cologne. Suggestions include AXE, Abercrombie, and Old Spice.
5Avoid ignoring a girl if they give you their attention. This makes other girls know that you feel comfortable talking to them.
6Looking attractive also helps - try to have some muscle volume, and style your hair properly, such as Skater Guy Hair.

E-tron Bike
This is a little bit of older news that you may have missed and we feel is well worth a look at.
Back in May 2012 Audi launched a concept. Now that in it's self is nothing unusual but in this case it wasn't a car or even a SUV. No Audi showed the world just how flexible their designers can be with use of the E-tron technology.
With 26″ wheels as well as a body made out of durable and virtually indestructible carbon fiber reinforced polymer. This bike is a very cool bit of kit. Powered either by the rider or a 2.3Kw motor this bike is is a very capable bit of kit. The only down side would appear to be the price of $40,000 to $50,000 if it goes in to production. If I win the lottery I might just put my name down for one.

I do not have a photo for this shorts since they didn't fit me, and my friend felt in love with them and they fit perfectly on her. I love the material and the print. I wish this shorts would have work.
It really looks highwaist, but is labled as low waist? Not even midi? I really adore the pattern and skort type, but would prefer it high waisted.
I will definitely order these shorts!
These skirt shorts are so much nice!

By Jim Hightower
To paraphrase an old bumper sticker: "When the people lead, leaders will follow. Or not."
Not when the "leaders" are in the pocket of corporate interests that don't like where the people are leading. Take Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin, a conservative Republican who never met a corporate pocket too grungy to hop into.
The story starts in 2008, when the people of Milwaukee took the lead on the crying need for workers to receive paid sick leave. Without paid leave, employees feel compelled to go to work when ill, which spreads their illness. Seven out of 10 voters approved that measure in a citywide referendum.
Corporate interests, however, sued to stall the people's will, tying the sick leave provision up in court until 2011. By then, corporations had spent big bucks to get Walker elected.
'State exemption'
Sure enough, Walker dutifully nullified the Milwaukee vote by passing a "state preemption" law, autocratically blocking local governments from requiring sick leave benefits for employees.
Just three months later, Walker's preemption ploy was the star at a meeting of the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC), the corporate front group that brings state legislators into secret sessions with CEOs and lobbyists. There, legislators are handed model laws to benefit corporations — then sent home to pass them.
At a session overseen by Taco Bell, attendees got copies of Walker's no-paid-sick-leave law, along with a how-to lecture by the National Restaurant Association. "Go forth and preempt local democracy," was the message.
And, lo, they did. Bills outlawing paid-sick-leave ordinances are being considered in at least 12 states this year, and nine have already passed theirs, including Arizona, Florida, Indiana, Louisiana, and Kansas.
By spreading Walker's nastiness from state to state, money-grubbing fast food chains are spreading illness all across our land.
OtherWords columnist Jim Hightower is a radio commentator, writer, and public speaker. He's also editor of the populist newsletter, The Hightower Lowdown.
Work and get paid. Do not work and don't get paid. that is the order of things. If you want paid sick days that is something an employer may voluntarily provide, otherwise set aside some money for a rainy day. It is not government's place to interfere.

YARDLEYALIVE.COM celebrates the river town of Yardley, Pennsylvania (PA) with its shops, art galleries, restaurants, and historic district. Its scenic character is defined by the picturesque Delaware Canal and the beautiful Lake Afton, which was created in the early 18th century to provide power for a local grist mill. Yardley was founded by William Yardley, who made an agreement with William Penn, before leaving England, to buy 500 acres for ten pounds. He and his family settled in an area called "Prospect Farm," located just outside of the present Yardley Borough. The family's burial plots are located in Slate Hill Cemetery, one of the oldest Quaker burial grounds in the state. Yardley's development started in the early 1800's, and by 1880 had 820 inhabitants. Early industries included a spoke and handle factory, sawmill, felloe factory, plate and plaster mill, and two flour mills. The first post office in 1828 was named "Yardleyville", shortened to "Yardley" in 1876 when the Reading Railroad arrived. Yardley was a waystation for the Underground Railroad, helping slaves escape to the North. Several hiding places still exist: the Continental Tavern, in warehouses on the Delaware Canal, and at a general store which is now Worthington Insurance.Check out our comprehensive directories to area businesses, restaurants, and much more.

DAVOS, Switzerland Developing economies will feel some impact from the U.S. Federal Reserve's winding down of its stimulus but India is better prepared than last year, Finance Minister Palaniappan Chidambaram said on Wednesday.
Speaking at the Davos economic forum, Chidambaram added that Indian growth was poised to accelerate. The ruling Congress party is trying to buoy the economy to win back voters in a national election expected between April and May.
"What I hear from everyone I meet in Davos and elsewhere is that we have succeeded substantially in stabilising the economy," he told a panel discussion.
First signals from the Fed last May that it would begin to scale back - or "taper" - its extraordinary economic stimulus measures prompted many investors to pull funds out of emerging markets seen as risky, hitting asset values.
Saddled with hefty current account and fiscal deficits, India looked among the most vulnerable. The rupee went in a free-fall, losing as much as 20 percent against the dollar before recovering.
"We were concerned in May. But now I think we have done a lot of preparatory work," Chidambaram earlier told reporters.
"There will be some consequences in developing and emerging economies but I think we are better prepared for the taper than when we were surprised in May."
Explaining what India has done to prepare for the tapering, he said: "Fiscal consolidation has taken place. There's more FDI (foreign direct investment) flowing into India, we've added to our reserves. The rupee is stable, and a number other of measures have been taken to bring stability in the capital market."
Chidambaram said Indian growth was poised to accelerate.
"I think it is accepted all around that the Indian economy has stabilised in the last 12 months or so and that we are poised to grow back step by step to the 8 percent potential growth rate," he said.
"(For the) financial year 2013/14 that will end in March, we will be only about 5 percent (growth). But (for the) financial year 2014/15, which is nine months of calendar 2014, we will cross 6 percent."
Chidambaram accepted that some big investors may be hedging their bets on investments in India.
"I agree that the big investor is still hedging his bets, especially big industrial houses, but at SME (small and medium enterprise) level and at the medium industries level, bankers tell me that the demand for credit is still very high," he said.
Nikesh Arora, chief business officer at Google (GOOG.O), said his group was "long-term bullish on the market. We continue to invest" in India.
Google was ready to invest in India regardless of the election outcome.
"It's a variable we cannot control," Arora said of the vote. "So, we will observe and we will keep investing in the market and I suspect a lot of people in the country will make sure that they keep the government accountable."
Jeremy Bennett, Nomura's chief executive for EMEA, was also positive about investing in India but added: "I think everyone recognises that if things could happen a little faster and the rules of the road be a little clearer that will help."

Bad tippers and bitter waitresses
By Jack Kemp (not the politician) Nov. 26, 2005
Once, years ago, I heard a heard a lecture by a rabbi on dating. He advised that if your date treats a waiter/waitress or a busboy in a condescending and mean manner, that is the way they will treat you after a while if you were to marry them. Today's New York Post had an article about cheap celebrity tippers listed on the website www.bitterwaitress.com.
I went there to see how many well known political "champions of the little guy and gal" rated. I cross referenced the website with liberals from Bernard Goldberg's One Hundred People Screwing Up America.
Let's see. First up, Michael Moore, 3% tip.
Tipper's Name: Michael Moore (yes THAT Michael Moore)
Where it happened: Los Angeles
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $452.25 / $17.74 / 3%
What happened:
OK I ran my ass off for this guy and his friends. Funny I didnt know this guy had friends, maybe they were kissups. 2.5 hours they spent shoveling food down their fat faces. Numerous refills. By the way MM is a pompous ass judging from his treatment of the staff.
Let's see again. Barbra Streisand, 2% tip.
Tipper's Name: Barbra Streisand
Where it happened: New York
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $457.00 / $10.00 / 2%
What happened:
She demanded the best table, acting rude to everyone and then barely tipped.
Next "champion of the people," Jessie Jackson 9% tip.
Tipper's Name: Jesse Jackson
Restaurant: Sam's
Where it happened: Kansas City
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $228.00 / $22.00 / 9%
What happened: rude,arrogant,demanding and cheap
Next up, Sen. John Kerry, 2% tip.
Tipper's Name: John F. Kerry
Where it happened: St. Louis
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $773.24 / $20.00 / 2%
What happened:
Added $20.00 on the signature line and then scribbled a little note to vote for him. What a load of crap.
Kerry's former running mate, Sen. John Edwards, 2% tip.
Tipper's Name: John Edwards
Where it happened: Washington, D.C.
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $746.25 / $13.75 / 1%
What happened:
This is the guy running for Vice President Sat in our private section for 3 1/2 hours and left less than 2%. Jackass.
Former VP Al Gore. 8% tip.
Tipper's Name: Former VP Al Gore
Where it happened: Alexandria, VA
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $40.00 / $3.50 / 8%
What happened:
Al and Tipper Gore were regulars at the restaurant I used to work at. You'd think this would be cool, waiting on a former Vice President. And it would be, if not for the fact that Al Gore is cheap.
Last time they came in, Tipper actually spilled her beer on me (it's not smart to gesture wildly with a bottle of Corona on your table). She didn't apologizehe apologized for her. Still. Less than 10%. You'd think they'd know that the 'underclass' the Democrats claim to represent are people like waitresses in VA making $2.13 an hour. Guess not.
Lastly, Sean Penn, 0% tip. Nada. Zip. Zero.
Tipper's Name: Sean Penn
Where it happened: New Orleans
Total bill / Tip amount / Percentage: $450.00 / $0.00 / 0%
What happened:
Sean Penn is in New Orleans filming & came into my restaurant with 3 other people. Waited on them hand and foot. The bill $450.00 the tip: none. Cheapskate.
There you have it. The champions of "fairness" and "the little guy." Yes, President Bush and VP Cheney made the website as well. But who is claiming them as champions of the poor and oppressed victims, advocating extra government payments to make up for past suffering, etc.?
Thomas Lifson adds:
I have followed Bitter Waitress for years. It is well-known in the food and beverage industry, and at least at the upscale restaurants, it has a big following among the wait staff. When one of these bozos comes in, they usually will not treat them overtly rudely. But vengeance of another sort may sometimes occur. Let the diner beware.
Most people realize that watitrons (that's the non-sex-specific term favored theses days, believe it or not) are usually paid less than minimum wage, and that tips provide the margin of survival (to use leftist terminology) for them. To stiff a tip is to relegate someone to below minimum wage. This makes the behavior of these compassionate liberals all the more phony. Judge them by their deeds not their words.
I absolutely agree with Jack's rabbi that the best way to judge someone's character is to observe behavior with those who have no power or standing, and to do so in private in the case of celebrities and politicians. I have used this as a guide to friendships for almost my entire life, and it has proven highly reliable.
I haven't worked in kitchens or as wait staff -- but I have spent time in kitchens, scrounging free meals from friend chefs etc. and have seen stuff that would curl your hair.
People generally don't leave small tips or annoy the wait staff with unreasonable requests because the service is inherently bad. They do those things because -- very simply -- they don't know how to behave in a restaurant.
This is indeed a highly reliable guide to character and temperament.
My future spousal unit impressed me by always leaving a nice tip, even when we were poor, and giving extra if the waititron did extra work. SU reasoned "Hey, been there, done that, know how much work it is, glad I'm on the tipping side now."
Also lefties despise individual giving of any sort, including charity, because it undermines their arguments for bigger and bigger guvmint.
If someone can make good money waiting tables, then there is no need to raise the minimum wage.
If someone can have needs met through private charity, then there is no need for a guvmint "safety net."
And then takes time to scribble a note to *vote for him*?
What a load.
Except when he leaves the tip on the bed . . .
ha ha - I also have left no tip exactly once in life and it also was at an IHOP!
Next time, the waiter(ess), should bring him "Hunts" ketchup!
The site doesn't have any sort of editing oversight or story verification, so anyone with a political axe to grind can post. The president, for example, is listed six times in the database.
I was at a restaurant once where the waitress wrote "have a good day" over the part of the bill that showed the addition of a required 15% tip. When I saw that, I withdrew anything additional. I hate being conned.
(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")
I've had friends (and they have friends) who have told me some curling-hair stories too.
To be clear, I have never "stiffed" meaning leaving no tip at all. I don't believe I've ever had service that would even make me think of it and I'm hard pressed to recall leaving even a small one.
Your tone sounded quite confrontational [of course it's difficult to say for sure when merely reading, not hearing]. But I still can't get my head around how leaving a tip that might be smaller than a waitron would want is "stealing" from them. That is rubbish. It reminds me of the old joke that goes: if you walk you save the 75-cent bus fare, but if you run behind a cab you save $10.
the driver a huge tip, $3 -- equal to perhaps $50 today.
In the late fifties and early sixties $3 was a lot of money. It would purchase four loaves of wonder bread, four quarts of milk plus a pound of hamburger.
about what$12 would buy today.
I always tip 20 Percent for Good service. Even is the food is lousy which is not the fault of the waiter. I tip 25 if they go above and beyond.
I walked out of a IHOP without paying let alone leaving a tip. When I was starting to pore to maple syrup I observed a live roach stuck to the can trying to free its self. I then saw,I presume,its mate, standing on my over easy eggs, beseeching me to release her husband.
What attracted me to Conservatism and the Republican Party was the emphasis on faith in all men and women. What turned me off of Leftist politics was the usefullness of the "working class" (read: producers) to gain power and control by unscrupulous "men of the people".
Maybe my tone was a bit confrontational. Having a good meal out with friends, etc. in a nice restaurant is one of the major pleasures in life.
The problem today is that many people don't know how to behave in a restaurant. They see it as an opportunity to exert some measure of pointless power over the wait staff. They scarf down their food as if it's a competition for speed. And table manners have deteriorated to the point of shameful...
Interesting story.
He is nice person for real just like Drew Carey. We should have more people like them. Not only they tipped their servers good but they are being nice and not making trouble. Too bad, we still have to gone through with some customers that always wanted to be treated like royal families. To make thing worst, some will make a big mess on a table, asking too many questions on little things, having too many refills, too impatience.., rude reply.. or non-reply when being asked a question politely.. no tips.. etc.. Man, I am just a server not their personal servant..
That's really funny!
I learned that you started at 10%. Only in recent years have I heard that 15% should be considered norm, and I'm not sure who is the one doing the considering. As I've stated, as food prices have risen, so has the tip, and as someone who has both waited tables (for a short period of time) and sold on commission rates much less than 10% for much less in sales in a day or night than a good waiter will rack up in a shift, 15% should be considered exceptional.
I rarely drink and never at a restaurant, so while my ticket might be a lower one for their night, I am also very low maintenance. Tonight, we left about 15% or so for what we considered very good but not exceptional service (as I stated, we typically round up a bit). But my tea was refilled twice, my wife's drink once, and he made perhaps 4 other trips to our table. I think he got what he deserved.
Dang! He's being pretty obvious about it and the young lady to his right is still star-struck!
That is the post.
Jeepers. Thanks for the ping!
For years it was always 15 per cent...it was drummed into me 15 per cent! Now I'm a cheap skate if I don't pay 20 per cent?...I'm sorry but restaurant prices have also risen over the years thus even though my tips are 15 per cent, my tips have risen in the same ratios as the prices. Now I'm expected to pay 20 per cent? fagettaboud it!
Depends on the local tax rate. Well, with that formula, the waitress will always get less if you calculate it off the tax. The effective tax rates seem to run between 4% and a little over 9%.
A $10 tab at 4% tax would be 2.00 and 1.56; at 9% 2.00 and 1.64.
The one time I'm sure didn't leave a tip was when I found dirt all over my salad and the waiter acted as if he didn't care. Otherwise, I tip twenty percent. Not tipping isn't stealing because it's a add-on benefit and not pay or entitlement. Some people act as if you should tip them for merely doing what their job requires and not beyond what their job requires (like Starbucks baristas!).
How true!
My husband and I frequent a neighborhood eatery (a pizza place with a separate, small restaurant room where you go for the food, not the atmosphere) and the wait staff get to know you as a regular. One evening there was a family with a screaming toddler; he was really laughing, and at the parents' prompting - the mother was actually encouraging him to laugh with screeches, then would look around as if to say "what can I do?" When our waitress came with the bill she asked how everything was, as usual, and I said "well the food and the service were great..." She looked at me and quietly said "I hear ya!" It annoyed her even more than it did us, as we could leave! She got a larger than usual tip that night.
I worked as a waitress for a number of years. Customers usually base the tip on the post-tax total. However, in situations where the restaurant's computer software adds the tip to the check, the computer calculates using the pre-tax total (at least in the places where I worked). So, while tipping based upon the pre-tax total may be technically correct, it rarely happens and normally annoys the waitress.
My stone dead cold lowest tip is 10%, for worst-case scenarios of extraordinary rudeness or long-term disappearances.
Twenty percent rounded up to the next dollar is the decent thing to do and, yes, in bars it can easily go higher.
I prefer tips/service to be included in the price. I think it is a form of begging.
Like most of us, I've had ups and downs in life and am very grateful for what success I have now. Even during the hard times I maintained faith in myself, tried to treat everyone fairly, and when I could afford to eat out somewhere I always tipped well. I found that many times, when I needed it most,people "unexpectedly" helped me along the way. Its a Karma thing.
I am by no means rich, but unless the service is poor I always tip 20%. It may seem excessively generous to you but I consider it my way of giving back. Most people waiting tables really need the money.
Also, I like to go places where people remember my name and treat me kindly because they know I appreciate them and actually give a give a damn about their well being.
You're right...I agree. The customer tip should be earned.
However, I am always surprised at the number of people who claim that 10% is the limit, even for good service.
In other words - the quality of the service is reflected in the quantity of the tip. As I stated in my earlier post!
As someone who's worked in food service over the years, both behind the scenes and as a "waitron," I see the importance of tipping. I usually start at 15%, unless there are problems with service. If I ever leave less than 15%, I make sure that I let the server know why. I don't include things like screwed up food, that's the problem of the kitchen staff, and I'll let the manager know that there's a problem. If service is particularly good or bad, I always let the manager know as well.
One time, I let the manager and server both know that I wasn't leaving a tip due to the server not bringing out our drinks, salads, or appetizer. Once she brought out our dinners, she just dropped them and disappeared again. I tried flagging down anyone else to get silverware, and ask for our waitress. It took another 10 minutes before our waitress came out, after I had walked over to the waitress station and picked up silverware and a pitcher of water. To say that I was very disappointed would be a huge understatement. The manager promised that he would "do something," but when the check came, the appetizer and drinks were still on it. Before allowing the waitress to clear our table, I asked her where the dishes for the appetizer, or the glasses for our drinks were? She said "huh? I don't know." My response was, "you don't see them, because we never got them. I'd like them removed from our check." She told me that it was "in the computer," and she couldn't do anything about it, so I demanded to see the manager one more time. Given the trouble, I would have expected at least one free meal, but at least he took off the charges for things that we never got. I also told him and the server why there was not going to be a tip. I never went back to that restaurant, recommended against it, and noticed that they closed a few months later.
I don't know. I guess because I was on the other side I see things differently too. Often I leave way more than "required" My point was that waiters aren't my employees and it should be my decision what I want to leave. I have just gone and got silver wear or refilled my own drinks before. Many times its just new, nervous or over worked kids.My husband will roll his eyes because I tend to help clean up the table." I think deep down I'm uncomfortable being waited on and prefer to take care of others. I have only had an encounter with one rude waitress. It was at a Chinese restaurant in Florida. My son was in the Navy and we went to see him. She didn't like our orders and preceded to tell us what to choose. I got what I wanted though. My son for some reason had carried in a bottle of soda with him. He sat it on the table and she walked by and grabbed his glass and told him "no free ice" after he had finished his drink. We all just laughed.. He shouldn't have carried it in but she overreacted. She was left no tip . Nada.
Actually, there IS a minimum wage for people who depend on tips, but it's extremely low. The last time I checked, and it's been a long time, it was about $2.13/hr. But most servers not only have to tip the bus workers and bar tenders, but there's a minimum percentage of their food and drink sales that they have to declare as income for tax purposes. Of course, if you make more than the minimum, you need to declare that.
Well, you could probably figure this out by my posts but I don't believe in a minimum wage either. People will work for what they can get. If someone is paying slave wages they won't keep help. That said, if we have to have one it should be for all, with tips being counted as added income. Most places around here pay minimum wage or better anyway. People aren't going to work for two dollars an hour regardless of how much they can get in tips.
Some people are very cheap. Those people are indeed sad individuals. I hope they never have to work in the service industry.
Peace bucko.
Again, pretty interesting topic to me. It's up to about 290 replies now. I'd be pretty interested in knowing how a topic like this would fare over on DU or Kos, or do they even entertain anything not to do with politics? Are Democrats in general lousy tippers? Anybody have posting privileges over there?
"Should really be applied to Hillary instead, especially by the waitress she stiffed. Calves that only a cow could love...."
That was my first thought. But to be fair, you aren't expected to tip well if you get lousy service or treatment, if anything.
For those interested in the finer points of tipping, a penny at the edge of the table is the highest compliment you give a waitress, unless of course, there's no tip along with it. =] A lot of waiters/waitresses don't even know that obscure coded message though. And it's not to be done habitually.
Why tip on tax?
Im guessing you have never worked in a service industry or have not heard that the cost of living does increase over time. I have been in this industry for seven years and currently as of january our base pay is a little over 3 dollars. Once I have tipped out 4 percent of my sales I make an average of 8 dollars an hour on a good week. Try paying for college, children, and a mortgage on that income. If you don't tip I don't get paid so please start having a little compassion for those hard, struggling workers.
Anything over 15% should be because of extra service. All servers must report tips and tip out at end of there shift to the hostess, bartenders, bussers, plus the hourly rate of "next to nothing". So if the bill is 400.00 the server still has to tip out on thier total sales,so, again.. 15% of 400$ is 60.00 so leaving less or god forbid nothing means the server still had to tip out, so She Paid to wait on the lousy tipper. Personally I tip 20% unless service truly sucked. Even then they get 15%.
You sound like someone I know who tips near the worthless level. My neighbor is a manager at an upscale place in the French Quarter of New Orleans. The wait staff makes about $2.50 an hour. When they work hard they deserve their tip. When they are rude and obnoxious they deserve less. Leaving nothing is almost never right. Anything 10 % or less is not acceptable when service has been ok. When service is good to great at least 15 % is needed. 20 % is excellent. There you have it.
I would venture to say that Ellen Degenerous (sp.) tips very well as she used to work at a French Quarter rest. Former ones usually do tip well.

Officer Michael McLeod with the Tallahassee Police Department's gang unit patrols areas known to be more saturated with gang activity on the south side of Tallahassee.
Officer Michael McLeod says, "We're going to go to a particular area that it is one of our gang territories, which is known for drug sales. We're going to go see if they are out there and if they are, we're going to get out and attempt to make contact with them."
Members of the Gang Unit are confident the majority of gang members in Tallahassee are already documented.
Ray Garcia with the Tallahassee Police Department says, "Our youngest gang member is 11 years old and the oldest-in his mid 20's"
The next stop- this playground off Orange Avenue that has a bad reputation as a gang hang out. "It makes it difficult for the young kids to come out to the play ground to actually have fun because of the different activities associated with it."
"Once they see the police car and see that you're stopping and getting out and they just take off running, that happens a lot of times. I'm sure they're not late for Bible study." says Officer McLeod.
Results from the Attorney Generals Gang Reduction Strategy Report released Wednesday shows the Big Bend has seen a 60 percent increase in documented gangs since 2009 ... but Law Enforcement Officers say an increase isn't necessarily a bad thing.
SGT Grady Jordan with Leon County Sheriff's Office says, "With our increase in identifying and tracking of those gang members inside the Leon County jail, we've seen an increase in numbers because of that knowledge and awareness."

Narrative Overview
The Soviet Union was created in October 1917 by a small but devoted band of revolutionaries whose beliefs and goals were shaped by the writings of Karl Marx. Marx ( 1818-1883) considered the Industrial Revolution to be an era of increasing social and economic injustice, and he was opposed to the accumulation of wealth by capitalist means. Believing his theories to be the solution to global injustice, he advocated revolution by the proletariat (industrial working class) against its alleged exploiters, the bourgeoisie (capitalist class). He predicted that a clash between proletariat and bourgeoisie was imminent and unavoidable, and that the new political, economic, and social order created by the "dictatorship of the proletariat" would be truly egalitarian and communist in nature.
In many European countries Marx gained followers who tended to call themselves Communists. Nineteenth-century Russia, however, was largely agrarian and did not have a sizable proletarian population. Marx believed at first that preconditions for a proletarian revolt in Russia would not develop for hundreds of years. To his surprise, however, Russian radicals were won over to the Communist cause. These radicals were disillusioned with the autocratic tsarist system in part due to the poor conditions of the Russian peasantry, who were liberated from serfdom only in 1861.
The Bolshevik Party grew out of the first Russian Communist movement of the 1880s, the Emancipation of Labor, which was founded by George Plekhanov. Vladimir I. Ulyanov, who used the assumed name of Lenin,
