SOUTH GATE (CBS) — Police Saturday said the sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl at a South Gate elementary school may be connected to five similar incidents in the area.
South Gate police Sgt. Sergio Camacho said the most recent crime was reported about 3 p.m. Friday at Montara Avenue Elementary School.
KNX 1070's Ed Mertz reports.
The suspect, believed to be about 18 years old, tried to grope the girl who managed to fight him off. He reportedly rode away on a bicycle.
The suspect was described as thin with short dark hair and was seen wearing a black hat.
Similar sexual assaults have been reported on the west side of the 7.5-square mile city southeast of downtown Los Angeles, Camacho said.
"We're keeping the possibility open that it may be the same guy," Camacho said. "We're hoping that folks have seen the composite drawing and that if anyone has been victimized that they will come forward."
The other attacks occurred April 26 near Liberty Boulevard and Elizabeth Avenue; April 25 at Firestone and Long Beach boulevards; April 17 at Century Boulevard and Stanford Avenue; April 8 on Firestone Boulevard near Evergreen Avenue and on April 6 at Century Boulevard and State Street.
Anyone with more information is urged to call police at (323) 563-5457.

On last week episode: after the twenty fame-whores for this season made it to shore they chose up sides for a game of dodge-ball then booted the dazed-and-confused pretty-boy and the loony school teacher off the island. During the immunity challenge team-Ulong showed that not only do they lack even a basic understanding of preparation or team work they have no idea how to paddle a canoe. Team-Koror, on the other hand, showed not only that they know how to plan ahead and row a boat but they know how to turn a great success into a dismal failure with one little lean to the right -- it was quite impressive. Team-Ulong topped off the first episode by booting off their most physically abled team member.

"I can hear them, they're right over there where we piled all the half eaten-coconuts and other food stuffs".
I'm sorry but it's got to be said. You're in the tropics, it's raining and you're cold. Go jump in the 30 degree* ocean!
"With Jolanda gone there's no-one to tell us what to do".
"We can do what ever we want".
"What should we do?"
"We can figure this out, we just have to ask ourselves 'What would Jolanda make us do?'".
"Yah, WWJMUD!"
Is anyone else getting uncomfortable flashbacks from Lord of the Flies.
"Come on in and take a spot on the mat".
"Is it nap time already?"
"We always got milk and cookies before nap time, where's the milk and cookies?"
"We capsized and lost our fire".
While his expression is great, I don't believe for a second that he didn't know about the capsizing.
"Why does that make you so happy Jeff?"
"We got nothin' and lost a member of our tribe because we're incompetent morons while they lost everything they won due to bad luck, but we're still younger and prettier than they are".
"I can't believe we lost".
"We suck".
"Even the freaky-chick kicked our ass, we totally suck".
"Why do I always have to sit way out here?"
"You're sitting out there until you agree to have a bath, with soap".
"That's not gonna happen".
"You definitely showed me somthin' out there today".
"That's because I'm stuck wearing this crappy bra".
"That was nice, but that wasn't what I was talkin' about. You kicked ass out there today girl! I'm almost tempted to treat you like a normal person".
"That's the nicest thing you've ever said to me".
"Oh my god, oh my god. It's on fire! Put it out, put it out!"
"I'm thinking you're not quite understanding the concept of a camp fire".
"It looked a lot bigger underwater when it was coming right at me".
"What do we tell the girls, do you think they'll buy the 'shrinkage' story?"
"They bought it before".
"What the hell is this?"
"Just take it, I think it might be pirate treasure".
"Dude, it's a shellfish".
"You don't know that".
"I can see the mollusk right here".
"That's the Treasure Guardian".
"I think you've been holding your breath too long".
"Does anyone know the spot where we capsized?"
"I know where it is, it's right over there by the big wave".
"We tried everything short of tying the rope to the box. We tried hooking it with the anchor, we tried sticking the rope to it with bubble gum, we even tried group-meditiation to levitate it up. Nothing worked".
"So out next plan was to swim down and tie a coconut to it, then another and another, eventually we'd get enough coconuts tied to it that it would float to the surface. Then Tom suggested just tying the rope to it. I thought that was a silly idea but he's a Real American Hero(tm) so I figured I should humor him -- and damn if it didn't work!"
"Should we tie the box to the boat while we row to shore?"
"Nah, it'll be fine".
"Ugh! Why does the smoke always blow towards me?"
"Kim and Jeff are getting snuggly, I don't know if she's playing him, he's playing her, they're consummating a two person alliance or if they're both just horn-dogs".
"What letter comes after 'C' again?"
"The tribe that wins today's challenge will feel the warmth of Binky's love while the losers feel the heat of his wrath".
It's the immunity challenge and we start off with some underwater-beefcake for the ladies.
Ulong copies Koror's team work, except for the part where it works.
Tom's new nickname on team-Koror -- The Machine
Just to change the subject for a moment, does that look like a Shark Treat(tm) behind Tom to anyone else, or is it just me?
For a moment there I thought that was screen-fuzz on Binky's butt, but after careful examination I think it was just some water on the camera lens...
"When, we, got, back, to, our, beach, it, was, raining, and, our, main, concern, was, 'Oh, crap, I, hope, our, fire, didn't, go, out'".
"I know you and Kim are gettin' your grove on, but she's holdin' back the team".
"I was thinking Ashley, she's breaking down, losing it. I think she's about to totally implode".
"What makes you think that?"
"I hit on her and she blew me off, obviously she's lost her grip on reality".
"That's a pretty convincing argument, you are an attractive man".
"Hey Kim, I was kinda like thinkin'".
"You were 'kinda like thinkin', but not really thinking?"
"Really thinkin', no way. That makes my head hurt".
"So, you were saying?"
"Ummm, don't remember".
* That's 86 degrees Fahrenheit for my U.S. friends.

Great news, I personally think that a square smart watch is a more realistic shape, because a round screen will inadvertently have to be bigger just to make it finger Frendly. The leaked photo of the Moto 360 is evidence of that.
LG's G Watch is anticipated to undercut Samsung's Gear 2 Neo pricing when it lands on consumer's wrists. The G Watch is reported to be debuting at a very competitive price in the UK on July 7th, roughly a week after Google's I/O conference in San Francisco, California this year.
Though neither LG nor Google have confirmed the G Watch's launch date or pricing, the information comes by way of MoDaCo's Paul O'Brien who says that LG's wearable foray will "undercut the entry level Gear 2 and massively undercut the Pebble Steel." Still, despite being believed to be priced competitively, O'Brien still thinks that the G Watch will be priced higher than Sony's Smartwatch 2.
The G Watch has popped up in the news recently as multiple outlets are reporting that the device may be one of Google's giveaways for developers to try out at the Google I/O conference that kicks off towards the end of the month. Giving developers access to the G Watch may spur interest in the Android Wear platform that powers the wearables, potentially leading to new apps and utilities to come to the smartwatch.
We'll still have to wait for an official announcement from LG.

Great news, I personally think that a square smart watch is a more realistic shape, because a round screen will inadvertently have to be bigger just to make it finger Frendly. The leaked photo of the Moto 360 is evidence of that.
Looks cool, nice to have more finger real estate with a square / rectangle l(ike) face watch vs a circular watch. I am sure both devices will be fun to use. The ever lasting question is battery life and some may feel "less is more" as in do I really need to have another device to look after? I have my bluetooth devices, my phone, my keys, my wallet, oops don't forget my watch which I have to recharge every single night.
Looking forward to is release. Not immediately inclined to even look into the LG watch, but waiting for more info on the 360. Regardless, this should give us a good look at exactly how AndroidWear will look.
Somewhat related, since updating my Galaxy Gear to the new Tizen OS, I've shut off the whole "gesture to wake" and I'm now getting 4+ days of battery life.

Famous for sending one of the loudest messages in sports lore, Todd Bertuzzi delivered a much gentler one to Calgary Flames fans yesterday.
"Obviously I'm well aware I wasn't the most popular pickup in Calgary Flames history but at the same time, I think you have to give it a little bit of time and give me a chance," said the bruising winger at his introductory press availability alongside four other new Flames.
"Given the chance, I think I can prove myself and help this team out."
Predictably, an increasing percentage of the populace is slowly warming to the fact one of the club's most hated enemies is now amongst the local heroes. And in what appeared to be a calculated effort to speed up the process by humanizing the controversial, 6-ft-3, 230-lb. winger, Big Bert showed up in front of cameras yesterday with his seven-year-old son, Tag, in tow.
Moving into a rented home last week so he and his wife could get their young kids enrolled in school, Bertuzzi said the reception he's received in town so far has been good.
"It's very similar to being back in Vancouver as far as being (recognized) on the streets and wherever you go," said Bertuzzi, signed as a free agent as per Jarome Iginla's request.
"Everyone has been very respectful and I hope it continues, especially when my family is around. Me, myself, is a different story, but no, everyone has been very respectful and nice."
Flames president Ken King said having Bertuzzi introduced with his son was simply a product of circumstance.
"When he came in, his son was with him and I thought, 'cool, that's where young boys should be in the summer -- with their dads,' " said King, who added GM Darryl Sutter insisted he present the youngster with a jersey.
"It was a natural thing -- it wasn't clever or planned but I'm glad it worked out because I think it's important people see that Todd Bertuzzi is not only what we think is going to be an important addition to our team, but he's a person.
"A real person with real kids, a lovely wife and daughter as well as his son, Tag. We often think of athletes one dimensionally but there are a lot of dimensions to people. I'm glad people are going to see more of Todd than the hockey side."
And yes, the adjustment period goes both ways.
"I can't lie to you -- it's not a jersey I thought I was going to wear, especially coming in so many times with Vancouver," said Calgary's new No. 7.
"At the same time, I played enough games here to know what kind of fan base and team there is here -- it's a fun place when you're winning. I really like the personnel. They've got a great cast and guys that want to win. They're all Canadian boys and they play a style that represents our league. And I think I can fit into that. I'm still young and have a lot of legs left. I want to show them I can fit in."
As for the crowd's reaction: "I've been around long enough that if they're not yelling it's boring and I'm doing absolutely nothing," he smiled.
Plagued by back injuries in Detroit two years ago and concussion woes in Anaheim last season, the former 40-goal scorer said he'll enter camp healthy and hoping to prove he deserves time on one of the top two lines.
"Here you can't go five, 10 games without anyone noticing and I think that's one thing that benefits not only myself but this team: You're under the gun here and there's pressure of having to perform and I'm looking forward to being under that pressure," said Bertuzzi, 33, throwing in several "no comments" when asked obvious questions about the ongoing legal proceedings of Steve Moore's $38-million lawsuit for his 2004 attack.
"Obviously (dealing with the media) is not on my A-list of things to do but it comes with the territory. Everyone is making out like it's such a tough thing but I played in a Canadian market for nine years and I absolutely loved it. Obviously there were a couple years that were tougher than others but I loved being in the spotlight and being part of that. I was gone for a while but I'm glad to be back and have an opportunity in a city like this."
Judging by the smile on his son's face, so is he.

Accountants Say Astor Son Misled Them
By SERGE F. KOVALESKI
Published: November 9, 2006
For the last 25 years, Samuel Cohen & Company has prepared Brooke Astor's tax returns, relying on her only son, Anthony D. Marshall, for information about her vast and intricate fortune.
But the Cohen firm is now at odds with Mr. Marshall, who it says provided faulty information after one of his mother's favorite paintings -- ''Flags, Fifth Avenue'' by the American Impressionist Childe Hassam -- was sold in February 2002 for $10 million.
The firm said that Mr. Marshall, who was then managing Mrs. Astor's finances and arranged for her to sell the work, gave it a capital gains number that it now realizes was far lower than it should have been. Mrs. Astor apparently ended up paying taxes on capital gains of almost $2.6 million in connection with the sale instead of on gains of more than $7.8 million.
Mr. Marshall has said he does not know how the error in the capital gains tax occurred, and has suggested that it was the accountants' fault.
According to a copy of the bill of sale from March 1970, Mrs. Astor bought the painting for $172,010. But Alan M. Pollack, a lawyer for the accounting firm, said Mr. Marshall told them that the original purchase price was $5 million, thus dramatically reducing the taxable capital gain.
''Any attempt by Tony Marshall to blame Samuel Cohen & Company for the mistake is a disingenuous and desperate attempt to deflect attention away from his own conduct in this matter,'' Mr. Pollack said. ''The firm relied on information that he provided, and it discussed this information with him. This firm will not passively stand by and be a scapegoat for anyone.''
Mr. Marshall's lawyers have said that he first noticed the painting's overstated original price on his mother's tax return while reviewing documents in a guardianship case brought against him in July by his son Philip.
But Mr. Pollack said that Mr. Marshall supplied the firm with the erroneous numbers at the end of 2002. At the time, he said, the firm had no reason to suspect that the figures did not reflect the true capital gain. Mrs. Astor bought the work of art 11 years before she retained Samuel Cohen & Company and the firm had had no direct access to the financial records about the painting, Mr. Pollack said.
The firm provided The New York Times with copies of tax estimates specific to the sale of the painting, in an effort to show that Mrs. Astor's son was aware of the inaccurate capital gains figure in the tax return.
The tax matter involving the Hassam painting, also known as ''Up the Avenue From 34th Street, May 1917,'' has become a costly problem for Mr. Marshall since the resolution last month of the guardianship case. Philip Marshall had accused his father of neglecting the care of Mrs. Astor, who is 104, while enriching himself with her wealth.
As part of the settlement agreement announced on Oct. 13, Anthony Marshall is to pay $1.35 million to J. P. Morgan Chase & Company, which is now the permanent guardian of Mrs. Astor's assets, to cover interest and late penalties on tax matters.
Mr. Marshall, 82, who was also forced to relinquish his position as steward of his mother's finances, asked the bank during the summer to file an amended 2002 tax return for his mother. Les Fagen, a lawyer for J. P. Morgan, declined to comment yesterday on whether the bank had submitted the amended return.
One of Mr. Marshall's lawyers, Kenneth E. Warner, did not return calls seeking comment over a two-day period. Another lawyer, Harvey E. Corn, said through his receptionist yesterday that he ''was not interested'' in talking.
Samuel Cohen & Company, which is based in Melville, on Long Island, said that tax projections it prepared for Mrs. Astor on Dec. 21, 2002, were shown to Mr. Marshall two days later.
A copy of a page from the accountant's daily planner shows that he had a meeting scheduled with Mr. Marshall for Dec. 23 at Mrs. Astor's business office to discuss taxes. During that meeting, according to Mr. Pollack, Mr. Marshall told the accountant that the capital gains on the sale of the painting were even slightly lower than those in the projections.
Alice Perdue, a former aide to Mrs. Astor who helped manage her business office for 12 years, recalled in telephone interviews Tuesday and yesterday that at his request she gave Mr. Marshall the file on the painting around the time he sold it.
''Mr. Marshall asked me for the file and I gave it to him,'' Ms. Perdue said. She explained that Mr. Marshall laid her off in September of last year, telling her he needed someone who was more adept at computers and who could take dictation.
Ms. Perdue added, ''The file contained the paperwork from 1970 when Mrs. Astor purchased the Hassam painting.''
A spokesman for the Internal Revenue Service, Anthony Burke, said federal law prohibited the agency from discussing any tax return information. But he said that as a general rule, if the I.R.S. determined that an omission from a tax return was willful, the agency could refer the case to the Department of Justice.

Hi, Chris! As an Australian (we don't tip at home either) I'll be interested in the replies.
We go to the USA every two years or so. Our practice:- We tip 15% in restaurants. Bellboys/porters $2 per bag. Taxis 15%. Most other people - zilch!
It's very stressful coming from a total non-tipping culture (where the minimum wage is about $15 per hour), to one where workers actually rely on tips for their sustenance.
'When in Rome.............'
Responses here will be interesting!

Hi christraveller,
You will get a lot of good responses here, but first I want to give you a good reference to peruse. http://www.tipping.org/tips/us.htmlhttp://www.tipping.org/tips/us.html
Frankly, I wish we could just pay service personnel a living wage and dispense with tipping altogether. Hope you have a wonderful time in Hawaii. We are visiting New Zealand in April.

Typically 10-15% is the norm. If you go on any excursions you will most likely want to tip there as well. If you go on any boat rides, ziplines, snorkeling tours, etc. If I do get poor service or I really don't like something, I don't tip. Most people leave the maid service at hotels a tip. If you get a drink at a bar or especially if an attendant brings you a drink by the pool you would want to tip.
Report Abuse
Sorry to say, but the tipping standard in restaurants is more like 18% now, and with the economy the way it is, I think the servers deserve it.
Taxi drivers get tipped. Barmen in bars get tipped a dollar or two for each round of drinks (something you definitely would NOT do in Australia or New Zealand). Tour guides tend to get tipped as well.
You tip people in the hotel that do a service for you (carry bags, bring extra stuff to your room, etc.); most of this happens only once or twice during the say and doesn't add up to much ... a dollar or two at most per bag, a dollar or two for each service. You also leave a dollar or two for the maid (I do that every morning since the cleaning person is not always the same). You tip the room-service waiter (ideally a dollar or two in cash) even if a so-called "service charge" (not to mention an additional "gratuity" is added to the bill) because they don't often get this money.
It seems like a long list, but that's the way it's done in the U.S. for good or for ill.
Just to be clear, unless you get exceptionally poor and surly service in a restaurant you ALWAYS tip at least 15% because service is never included in the U.S. But I would be on the lookout for the stray restaurant that does add a service charge. I notice that more and more places are adding these during the economic downturn, and if a service charge is added, you do not tip.

"Most people leave the maid service at hotels a tip"
I disagree totally. You are paying through the nose for a clean room already. Those who expect tips in the US are usually those LEGALLY paid below the minimum wage, which is restaurant and bar help in MOST states. Yes, porters, taxi drivers also have hands out. However, we were the ONLY ones to tip on a recent boat excursion (and we thought they were very deserving of a tip, they went above and beyond). And before I get blasted here with (re: maids) "oh, but it's so little to you, and they clean up your mess"; I expect FOR THE PRICE I PAY to have the room cleaned (and I never leave a mess). This is a recent phenomenon, and is IMO a way to feel self-righteous.
Report Abuse
The tip for meals should be between 15-18%. I generally go 18% with good service. My wife tips the maids. I not going to say sylvia is wrong, just different views.
Report Abuse
Doug's advice is good. I will add, servers in restaurant have a percentage taken out of their below-minimum-wages for taxes on tips regardless of whether or not you tip them. As I recall, the assumption is that they receive a minimum of a 10% tip; they are supposed to report (and pay additional taxes on) anything above that. In effect, if they do not receive that minimum tip, it costs them money to wait on that table, and they are only receiving a fraction of the minimum wage to start with. I too wish we could just pay them an honest wage.
Report Abuse
(Hit Enter too soon). Also, a server may have to "tip out" other employees, such as the bus boy who cleans your table. That, too, is regardless of whether or not you tip the server. I tip 15-20%, usually 20%.
Report Abuse
This is a recent phenomenon, and is IMO a way to feel self-righteous.
As opposed to flailing around saying, "With the price I paid . . . "
It's also not a recent phenomenon. People staying in hotels have been leaving tips for housekeepers for decades.

These guidelines are widely accepted: http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/tipping/

"By 1795 tipping was common in hotels as well. Crouch (1936, p. 544-545) reports the remark made by one journalist:
If a man who has a horse puts up at an inn, besides his usual bill, he must give at least one shilling to the waiter, sixpence each to the chambermaid, the ostler and the jackboot, making together half a crown. If the traveler only puts up to have refreshment, besides paying for his horse's standing, he has to give away in the day another half-crown, which makes five shillings in the day to the servants."

Tipping is part of the culture - there's really no way around it. Standards may differ slightly in differnt parts of the country.
But as a basic rule
Restaurants - 15-20% (the higher end for nice service)
Taxis- 15-20% - higher end if they help with luggage (never less than $1)
Bags in hotel - from $2 up - depending on # of bags and price range of hotel (upsacle hotel tip more)
Bar - 15% minimum
Hotel service (extra pillow or towels or ???) - minimum $2
Valet parking - min $2
Hair dresser - 20%
Room service - 20% (a service fee listed goes to the hotel - not the staff)
Chairs or towels at hotel pool - min $5 for a couple
If in doubt - tip.
Just so you understand - restaurants wait staff typically earn about $2.50 per hour (WAY below minimum wage) and get free meals (big deal!) - so they must have tips to survive.
Report Abuse
I *always* tip the room maids (not just in Hawaii, anywhere I travel). I leave $2-3 on the unmade bed each morning.
In restaurants I tip 15-20% of the bill (if you don't want to tip waiters, there are lots of food courts and other casual options available in Waikiki where tipping is not required).
For taxis I just round up the fair so they get a couple bucks. For shuttle drivers I tip $2-3 when they lift my luggage out at the end of the ride.

Sylvia is wrong - "This is a recent phenomenon, and is IMO a way to feel self-righteous."
Maybe in her circle - but chambermaids/housekeepers have been tipped for generations. Maybe not at Motel 6 or Super 8 but at most other levels of hotel, a tip of $2 - $5 per night is about standard. Not everyone does tip them though. In the USA, tipping is just another holiday cost.
In restaurants - not in all states, but in many/most, you can look at the tax amount on your bill and double it. That will work out to around 14%-18% of the total tab before tax. Just makes the calculation easier (since one doesn't typically include the tax in total when figuring the tip)

Having lived in Sydney and being an American it was very weird for me not to tip..I would always leave some $$ and they would chase me down for the money I left on the table.
Doug's reply was a good one.
Wife and I are 20% or more with service in food and bars.
Bellman if we use them is $2-5 per bag but I have given a $5 for just helping us to the front desk.
I do not tip the maid, since maids change per day.
I do leave my wine or goodies that have not been eaten that are still packaged.
With bartenders, we are sitting at the bar with more than a couple of drinks, it pays to tip well the first round..drinks become stronger and the bartender is more apt to throw free things your way..not always.
Taxi driver or shuttle is 20% if the shuttle is free and they are taking you 15-30 minutes, I tip $5 per person.
As far as deducting the tip from the tax is so frigging cheap, IMHO..
Just round up to 20% and if you need to shave off a dollar or two then you will have 18%.
15% was so ten years ago.
Aloha and have a great time.

Sorry - I have always tipped maids - as did my parents when I was a chid - so 40 years ago is hardly recent. (I remember my parents having a discussion on how much to tip when we stayed in a mini-resort on a New England lake - since my dad is "thrifty" and he wanted to leave less. My mom went back in and added more after he was in the car.

As if not already confusing enough, there are some restaurants that you don't tip. Generally fast food restaurants. I am always a little confused about tipping myself when I order at the counter, then sit down, then someone does bring me my order. If they check on me again, then I feel like I should tip. If all they do is bring me my food and then never see how we are doing, then I don't tip. A lot of pizza places are like this.
Generally you don't tip the owner of a business. If your hairdresser owns the salon you don't tip, if your hairdresser works there and isn't the owner, you do tip.
My 10-15% was meant in general terms and didn't neccesarily apply to a restaurant.
Wonder how many here feel obligated to leave the trashman or postman something at Christmas?? I always tip, but never truly thought anything about it until I got married and my wife waited tables the first year of our marriage.

Housekeeping can change every day which is why when I stay in a hotel I leave the tip each day. I always take some small envelopes with me but normally there are enough envelopes in the room to use. I put the tip in the envelope and mark the outside "For housekeeping" and lay the envelope on the bed pillow. I have actually received some lovely thank you's from the housekeeper from time to time. I can't remember not ever tipping the housekeeper, it is not anything "new". I also tip bellman too but the housekeepers sure have a harder job than the bellmen.

Sorry, those who make legal minimum wage should not be tipped (doubt very much that this was the case 200 years ago), unless they did something special. You do not tip the poor overworked guy in the back of the dry cleaners, you do not tip the minimum wage earner who helped sell you the shirt, you do not tip the guy at Home Depot for showing you where the plumbing tape is, why on earth should you tip a maid (in California, they make more than I do)? It has gotten out of hand.

Good idea about the "for housekeeping" note, LoveItaly. I worked for a number of years as a manager on duty at a luxury convention hotel, and we were very strict with what housekeepers could take. Money should be left on the unmade bed or pillow as a clear indication; your envelope would remove any doubt. Things like wine or any other apparently left-behind goodies could never be kept. It was not uncommon for a guest to inadvertently leave something behind and then return for it or call to ask for it to be sent - even tourist coupon books. A hapless room attendant who did not turn items in faced dismissal.
I always leave a daily housekeeper tip, usually $2/day if I am staying in a chain like Hampton Inn or Holiday Inn Express, and my company has never objected to that on my expense report.
Report Abuse
I say if you want to tip housekeeping, have at it but I don't think that is something that should be expected vs. being served a meal or drinks.
At hotels, I always ask to not be disturbed and just leave extra towels or pillows and with that I tip when I ask for things that have to be brought up...$2-5.00
If there is concierge service, well, that is a different story and tip around 25%.
Report Abuse
Beware of those who suggest that you tip more on the high side. They are usually people who work for tips or who think you will be impressed if they claim to be big spenders.
If you stay at five-star hotels and dine only at the best restaurants, tip more; if you stay at Holiday Inn and eat at family restaurants, tip less.
At a Holiday Inn type motel, a person who delivers a blanket, extra towels, a pillow, etc. will be delighted with a $1. Only the uninformed or profligate would tip $5 in such an instance.

Sylvia- So don't tip hotel housekeeping if YOU don't want to. But please do not post here that it is not what people do in the U.S. Because it IS standard practice when you are talking tipping guidelines.
Report Abuse
I cannot argue with Sylvia that most people don't tip hotel housekeepers because, having done a through Google search, I can't find any research to support the conclusion that most people do tip them.
I would say that some travelers on a one-night hotel stay, might be reluctant to leave a tip for a person they are not sure is the one who cleaned the room for them and that it is less guilt-inducing to stiff a person one doesn't have to confront than one that must be confronted, such as a valet or bartender.
Also, I suspect that housekeeps working at hotels such as The Surrey in New York City are more likely to receive tips than those who work at motels such as the Super 8 in Topeka, Kansas.

Respecting that you have an abundance of excellent advice already; if you are going to require repeat service from the concierge at your hotel - restaurant or activity advice, reservations, directions; I would provide a tip the first time you use the service and then again as you depart. Having an enthusiastic concierge is a benefit in a new destination.
If you are on auto pilot and don't need guidance,or will only use once, a tip is not necessary.

You ask for extra towels, soaps, shampoos, fine go ahead and tip. But it is NOT standard. (I am certainly NOT a cheapskate; I say again, do you tip every single minimum wage staffer you encounter in your daily life? I doubt it; don't assume that others follow your protocols.)

No I do not tip 'every single minimum wage staffer' I encounter in my daily life. I don't tip anyone like that, it's not a custom or a practice.
The maid who cleans your hotel room is different. And it is an accepted practice to leave a gratuity. OK I'm not sure I would in a 1-night stay at a no-tell mo-tel on a road trip, but when I'm staying somewhere for a week or two on vacation it's something I do. The maids are always appreciative and often make a point to thank me (probably proving the point that not everyone tips!).

Tipping is hard enough for those of us who were raised in the US to understand. So I sympathize with those of you from different places trying to figure it out.
It really is a crazy system IMO. A waitress in a diner works extremely hard, but because the food is cheaper than in a more expensive restaurant, she makes much less than a waiter in a more upscale place. Why? Why should her work be tied to the price of the food? (I know all the usual blather to try to rationalize the system, but if you consider it logically, most of it is nonsense.)
And I personally know more than one college kid right now who is waiting tables at sort of medium-scale restaurants - not chains, but not 5 star restaurants either- who make over $200/night in tips. On TOP of the $9.79 /hour minimum wage here in San Francisco. (Here in California waiters make the same minimum wage as anyone else - there is no "tip credit".) So they average $35 an hour. And "everybody" guilt trips everybody else and decides (WHO decides?) that it is important to be constantly raising the tip percentage for these underpaid workers who haven't even finished school yet. .Meanwhile the single-mom admissions clerk at the local hospital makes ... oh never mind.
P.S. I've been a waitress. Before I finished school too. And I made more money than plenty of people in plenty of other jobs. The ideas about who is "underpaid" and who isn't are sometimes remarkably uninformed. Not of course saying that ALL servers are rolling in money. Just that trying to guilt-trip every restaurant customer into tipping an ever-escalating percentage of the bill is, in some circumstances, total BS.

(The trips on the Grand Canyon rafting cost around $1500 per person and they suggest tipping 2%). I do tip maid service every single day anywhere from $2 to $5. If you are on a cruise ship that is an entire other issue as there are many people to tip. If you do receive rude or bad service-don't tip. I think if you follow these guidelines you would be considered average and normal.

Dear Kiwi & Ozie
Your heads are probably spinning by now and you probably wish you hadn't asked the question. That's because tipping in the US can vary depending on region, muncipality size, and local cost of living.
In large cities on the east & west coasts (NYC, LA, Frisco) tips are largest. In smaller towns in the south, midwest, and west, tips are the lowest. In large cities in the midwest, west and south, tips are in the middle.
It's really a personal thing and ranges are a better guide than set amounts. Since I come from Chicago, (large city in midwest) I think our tipping habits are in the middle. Here's my standard:
LUGGAGE PORTERS: $1/$2 per bag, depending on distance carried. (example: Doorman takes 5 bags from car and Bellman brings them to your room: Doorman $5/Bellman $5 and additional $5 if he gets ice, shows you heat/AC, phone, etc works)
RESTAURANT: Breakfast/Lunch: good service 10%/great service 15%; Dinner: good service 15%/great service 20%. Zero/Zed/Nada: poor service.
Taxi: 10% good service; 15% great service; 5% extra for friendly/helpful conversation
Maids: $1 to $5 per night depending on room size, cleanliness of room, daily linen changes, daily towel replacement. Because of personnel changes, I leave an envelope with the front desk addressed to Houskeeping Chief with specific allotments by day upon check out. For a normal room, I may leave zero with a comment about bad service and $2 for good service & $3 for great service. (Many hotels do not change linens during stay, so I cut max by $1/day)
Bars: If you run a tab: 10% -20%, depending of friendliness of bar tender. If you pay by the round: front load the first round with an eye towards $1/$2 per round per person; again depending on friendliness of bar tender. (Example: I'm meeting my wife and arrive before her. I order a beer (20 oz Foster's: $6. I pay with $10 and tell him to keep the change. When my wife arrives I order another Foster's and a glass of wine $8 for a total of $14. I give him $20 and keep the change. From that point on I give him $1 per drink)
I know this info may only be more overload. But when in doubt figure this way: bad sevice 0%, average service 10%, good service 15%, great service 20%. Service includes, speed, accuracy and friendliness.

I'm American and I don't agree with a lot of thse opinions, such ast he idea that for no good reason whatsoever, people are supposed to be tipping 20 pct in restaurants now instead of 15 pct. I don't know who made up that little rule (probably spread by the restaurant industry) but I don't routinely tip 20 pct in restaurants and no one else I ever dine with does either. I don't think we are all freaks. So take that one with a grain of salt. I only do if the service is really good and the meal cost is low. I wouldn't ever tip 20 pct on an expensive meal, for example.
Also, the fact is that anyone who is tipped in Hawaii is already required to earn a min. of $7 an hour (not the $2.50 someone above claimed). It is state law, even for tipped professions, the employer must pay a min. of $7 an hour in Hawaii.
I never tip anyone in places where they stick out tip jars on the counter and they think they should be tipped just for doing their regular job. This is some strange greedy custom that just started occurring within the last few years.
It is not true that people in tipped professions are all charity cases and obviously make less money than others. Lots of servers in expensive restaurants do quite well.
I don't like tipping, I think it's a horrible custom which I wish didn't exist as it has this whole class structure thing to it I dislike.

I also detest the tipping culture in the US. My feeling is I pay for a service, you are hired by the company (hotel, restaurant, barber shop, whatever) I hire and they pay you to do the job. Like Christina, I can't stand "tip jars" -- for what, exactly, am I tipping you? Nobody tips me for doing my job, even when I give (as always, of course) excellent service.
That said, I understand certain professions (waiters, for ex.) are not paid the minimum wage and therefore I do tip in accordance with the "norm". As for how much, well, I live in one of the "big cities - West Coast" to which john referred, so I'd say the typical tip for good service in a decent restaurant would be 15-20%. I won't comment on the other tips I give, because, to be honest, I am very erratic about it.

Tipping has nothing to do with a class structure. It's strictly finances - restaurants can charge lower prices, taxi fares can be lower and hotel employees can earn less.
I wish these people were paid living wages - but they're not. And if a "service charge" was added to the listed price, you can be sure most of the money would go to the restaurant owner - not the wait staff.
As for class, I worked as a waitress while in college - and many of my friends did the same - since it was one of the few jobs that fit with class hours. How does that fit in with a "class" comment?

Just to throw my two cents in regarding tipping the housekeeping staff - some people do it, some people do not. Anyone saying that the majority of people tip or do not tip are just guessing. It is certainly not as universal as tipping waitstaff. Personally, sometimes I do, sometimes I don't.
Tipping in general is out of control in this country. This whole topic reminds me of when we were in Chile a few years ago and went on a guided winery tour by van with about 10 other people. We were the only two from the U.S. - everyone else came from various South American countries including Venezuela, Brazil and, if I remember correctly, Colombia. The guide was excellent - he was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic (without being overbearing). Toward the end of the tour, as we were getting back to Santiago, everyone got their bill for the tour, which you could pay by credit card. We wanted to tip him but we didn't know what the custom was - do you tip at all? if so, could we just add it to the bill or should we pay in cash. We asked him about tipping he said that if we wanted to, we could add it to the bill. I tried to be discreet about it but we were in a van with everyone else. The Venezuluen man (who was generally hostile toward Americans) mocked us. Said something to the effect of "Oh the big shot Americans." We looked at each other but ignored him. The tour guide seemed very appreciative.

Tipping used to be 10% then was raised to 15%, now it's 18-20%. It always seemed unfair to me that workers in low end restaurants get the same percent at those in high end. I generally tip between 15 and 20% but less if service is poor. I give a higher per cent at low end restaurants. At buffets I leave a $2 tip. Once, not only was the service poor but the waitress had a bad attitude, as though I was interfering with her day. I left no tip. A friend later advised me that it is better to leave a nickle or quarter so that the waitress doesn't think you simply forgot. I never put anything in tip jars. They annoy me. Also, I don't tip for maid service.

Any thought that it could possibly work any other way is plain foolishness. Just like if he must pay for the food he buys, it goes into the cost of the meal -- the same thing is true of what he will pay the employees. So like it or not, the bottom line is if you weren't expected to pay 15 or 20% in tips, then the cost of the meal would go up by 15 or 20 percent. Period. It doesn't change your "budget" either way!

There is probably a lot more to that story than simply tipping. A friend tells me of a couple who went to his restaurant often (he's a server) and every time complained of something then demanded free dessert or an entree taken off the bill, after they licked the plate clean. Finally the manager confronted them and said, "since we can never please you, we request you to not patronize us and find a restaurant that pleases you." Meanwhile, of course, they never left a tip either, citing that their experience was so bad it didn't warrant one. Well, everyone at the restaurant is glad they are gone. They did return a few months later, and the manager stuck to his guns, "I'm sorry, we have no one who feels they can please you here. You should probably go elsewhere." And he refused to seat them.

Hotel Maid are actually paid above minimum wage. My sister worked in Seattle and was paid $11 an hour more than a clerical tip. For that she cleaned 15 rooms a day. Her tips for those rooms were on average 4 no pay and the others $1-$5 she averaged about $45 in tips. To give you an idea. Her pay before taxes, etc. was $440 after it was around $290 a week on top of that she made another $225 in untaxable tips. Or nearly $900 a month. When temps in Seattle made around $8-$12 an hour these maid jobs were gravy. So before you think a maid is anything like a server. Maids get benefits, days off, vacation, medical and on and on - As a server we get no benefits and work sometimes 60 hour weeks for 40 hour below minimum rage pay. The tips are everything. And WE HAVE TO DECLARE THEM IF WE GET THEM OR NOT.

Interesting, Alex "9"
I wonder if the same applies in small town USA.

I can tell you that maids aren't paid anything like that in Florida. I worked as a manager in a luxury convention hotel in Orlando for years, and housekeepers were paid barely minimum wage. Plus, they had to clean more rooms than that. Guess it varies by state.

Sludick, general statements like that are wrong. I can assure you that maids in some of the top resorts in Florida (I'm in Naples) ARE paid like that and even more, not to mention some firms (like Ritz Carlton) that offer all kinds of benefits and even free transportation to their jobs. But of course, one in a mom and pop motel somewhere might not make that much. And if there is a glut of applicants for jobs at a huge convention hotel that doesn't care if they keep employees or reward them, then of course they may not make that much. The same is pretty much true in any state. That's just common sense. Like any other job or profession, there is a wide range of how people are treated and paid.

Vast space of Krug Planina high plateau. Its dimensions are 15x7km. When there are no trees it is very hard to judge distances. For some reference there a horses on pasture. Behind is Tusnica (1697m).

Tagged: child theme, velvet
January 8, 2013 at 5:01 pm #19205
I am trying to modify the header.php and footer.php files using a child theme. None of the changes that I make in the child theme work. When I make those changes to the original files, they work. Do child themes not work in the Velvet theme? I would really like to get this child theme working so that all my changes aren't lost with a theme update.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
MarkJanuary 8, 2013 at 7:01 pm #102654
1) Make a folder called velvet-child and place it next to velvet theme folder.
2) Create a style.css file inside the velvet-child folder and add the following to it:
Theme Name: Velvet's Child
Description: Child of Velvet
Theme URI: some-url.com
Template: Velvet
Version: 1.0
Author: you
Author URI: http://www.some-url.com
@import url("../velvet/style.css");
Make sure that capitalization and folder name matched import and template lines.so Velvet VelVet would be different.
3) Activate child theme as you would any theme in the backend
4) copy header.php and footer..php and drop them into the child theme folder.
If you want to test if they work. add
<?php echo "123zxy"; ?>
into the header and the footer , and then view source and and do a ctrl-f find for 123zxy.
NickJanuary 15, 2013 at 3:49 am #102655
Thanks Nick. My problem was that I failed to activate the child theme properly. I think I've fixed it. However, everything under the theme options have been reset. Is there anyway to import or transfer all my previous settings (to include portfolios, quick CSS, colors, etc.) to the new child theme?
Thanks again.January 15, 2013 at 8:49 pm #102656
Hi Mark,
No, the options for each theme are saved based on the theme. It would be best and easiest to just re-add in your custom settings.
DevinJanuary 16, 2013 at 6:34 pm #102657
okay, really embarrassingly dumb question, but just to be clear…where you have, in your example, some-url.com, is that that url for the domain, or the location of the theme, or what? And then for the Author URI, same question..the domain again, or what author's url?January 17, 2013 at 8:24 am #102658
Please download http://www.mediafire.com/file/1sew8jza4twnaw7/velvet-child.zip
a zip of a child theme for Velvet. Just add it as you would any normal theme. If you are having a problem:
1) Is the name of the folder of the parent theme 'velvet'? (capitalization important)
2) In the parent style.css , is the theme name Velvet?
The child style.css file just 3 lines are required (lines 2,5, and 11 of stle.css inside the zip file). All other lines are optional, so you can fill them out how you want. You can also just delete the optional lines.
The topic 'Velvet Child Theme' is closed to new replies.

OracleParameter::Offset Property
Gets or sets the offset to the Value property.
Assembly: System.Data.OracleClient (in System.Data.OracleClient.dll)
The Offset property is used for client-side chunking of binary and string data. For example, in order to insert 10MB of text into a column on a server, a user might execute 10 parameterized inserts of 1MB chunks, shifting the value of Offset on each iteration by 1MB.
Offset specifies the number of bytes for binary types, and the number of characters for strings. The count for strings does not include the terminating character.
The following example creates a OracleParameter and sets some of its properties.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2
The .NET Framework does not support all versions of every platform. For a list of the supported versions, see .NET Framework System Requirements.

Float Away on the Upper Manistee: the Itinerary
Day 2
From somewhere beyond the CCC Campground to just beyond M-66 Bridge: 20ish miles.
By late morning I'd already hit Upper Sharon Bridge—the river speeds up just before, which is great fun—and as the river widens, bigger and bigger islands appear in the river's center. I found myself wishing I had camped on one of them, but placated my yearnings with the next best thing: lunch. I pulled up on a giant island oasis that comes just before a sharp river bend to the right. Here, the low island had a sandy shore and shallows that suddenly dropped to nearly four feet deep. It was perfect for picnicking, wading, swimming and fishing, which explains how I spent nearly three hours here, very happily.
After lunch, I hit Lower Sharon Bridge, coasted a lot, fished some and, because last night's last-minute campsite had me nervous, recalculated my planned stopping point about 3 billion times.
Mostly, I planned to take out just beyond the M-66 bridge where a former state forest campground waits, but I made it there well before dark so decided I could paddle on a wee bit farther. It was a fabulous decision: The river sped up, miles of grassy banks dotted with trees were around every bend, and by 6 p.m. I had found a beautiful spot with a slightly high bank but a sweet swimming/fishing hole. I set up camp; no houses or cabins were in sight.
Day 3
Just beyond M-66 Bridge to somewhere between Coster Road and Lucas Road Bridges: 14ish miles.
I remember this stretch as pretty darn quiet, ever slowing and serene. The banks grow steeper and higher, and it feels much of the time like you're in the valley of a canyon. Along the way, just before the Coster Road Bridge, some homes and cottages appear, then a public access site, and then all goes quiet and peaceful again. Somewhere along here I set up camp on a peninsula-like bank that jutted out into a severe bend in the river, thinking I would be able to watch the river come and go on both sides from my hammock view.
It was a great idea, until the sky opened up, and I had to toss a tarp over the line strung above my hammock. Of course, then I started worrying about being struck by lightning, seeing as I was dangling between two trees on a mostly open bank, so I got out in the rain, untied and retied my hammock farther inland under the shelter of cedars … and then it stopped raining. Surprise.


text: It's interesting to see age playing such a big part in colour choice. I'm 28 and my previous A3 was metallic dark grey, this time went for Glacier White as I felt it worked better on the car. Next time I might go for black, with the black grill / styling pack as I think that's quite a distinctive look too. With regards cleaning, my friend's phantom black car is actually harder to keep clean than my GW, as it shows every single bit of road dust and takes forever to clean properly in order to avoid swirling the clearcoat. My GW on the other hand doesn't show any dust, but does show mud etc, but at this time of year that's not such a problem. I was unsure about GW when I ordered, until i saw it and then i knew it was the right choice for me

Interpersonal Comparisons of Utility: An Algebraic Characterization of Projective Preorders and Some Welfare Consequences
It is shown that any completely preordered topological real algebra admits a continuous utility representation which is an algebra-homomorphism (i.e., it is linear and multiplicative). As an application of this result, we provide an algebraic characterization of the projective (dictatorial) preorders defined on Rⁿ. We then establish some welfare implications derived from our main result. In particular, the connection with the normative property called independence of the relative utility pace is discussed.

At first, public opinion in Peru seemed to back President Alan Garcia Perez's bold decision to let the armed forces crush three coordinated prison rebellions, although at least 250, and possibly 400, radical inmates were killed. Last week the President again put his popularity on the line. Facing % the gravest crisis of his eleven months in office, Garcia said in a televised address that paramilitary police at one prison massacred some 30 to 40 inmates who had already surrendered. All of the victims belonged to the Maoist- oriented Sendero Luminoso (Shining Path) guerrillas, who have been waging a terrorist campaign...

text: A Fin24 user tells how he was forced to leave the country because of discriminatory practices. He writes: I've been unemployed in South Africa for over a year and I was registered by a number of recruitment agencies and sent my applications to various companies via popular job websites. Unfortunately,I probably got three interviews within a year and decided my financial future and profession would be more sucessful in another country.My story begins as an intern at a major retail company working in the IT sector. After completing my international certificate, I was permanently employed. I was on the top of the world and did not see it as just a job, but rather a career. From there it went downwards. The rising fuel prices, inflation, cost of living and recession periods started to clench its teeth deeper into my salary. Yet this was not the issue discussed here, the issue is the unreasonable hours I had to work and getting paid very little (or not at all) for overtime. "Why are you complaining for a few hours of overtime?" Because having to sit four stories underground, in a restricted area with recycled air, having to stare at a computer screen for 24-50 hours straight without sleep (you weren't allowed to leave for rest until the job was done) and still have to drive 50km home in your sleep-deprived state is a reason to be a little upset... but here is the kicker, doing all that WITHOUT getting paid overtime. You are probably thinking: "NO WAYS! I don't work for free, I wouldn't do that if I wasn't going to get paid overtime", and you are right. Since no company car is provided to me, no overtime paid, the last choice (as stated in the labour law) was to take the accumulated hours worked overtime to get some well deserved sleep. RING RING , WHY AREN'T YOU AT THE OFFICE!?The attitude of employers are unfortunately such that, given the unemployment rate, if you aren't happy with your job or salary "there are plenty of people at the door who will be". You as an employee in SA are dispensible. Hell, they even state in the Jan 2013 issue of FHM magazine "Count yourself lucky you have a job, because of cheap labour, you are dispensible and replaceable".After I left the company, I was unemployed for just over a year. The interviews I went to either wanted very high qualifications and wanted to pay a meagre salary (because as stated, if you don't want it there are plenty who do), or the grim reality, I didn't get the job because I am the wrong skin colour. Yes, I am white.Because of affirmative action (which in South Africa means "Ensuring the MAJORITY will get employment first while the MINORITY will have to look elsewhere" whereas the rest of the world it means the minority will get work from the majority) and BEE, the jobs would rather be given to a person of colour rather than a white person. "You are internationally qualified and have work experience? Great! too bad you are white. We're rather going to give the job to this African man who doesn't have St 8 to his name". This sounds harsh, but its the ugly truth. How many job advertisments have you seen where it stated "Whites need not apply"? It's quite funny how they can state that, but God forbid if a company advertised "Blacks need not apply". All hell would break loose.It is for this reason I decided to leave SA and move to a country which would welcome me with open arms.I am pleased to say I'm writing this sitting behind my desk and sipping my coffee within my own little company, laughing as I read the news over there about rising electricity prices, fuel prices, government corruption and unemployment. SA is complaining about a brain drain? Of course, before applying for a job, never mind qualifications and years of work experience, first ask yourself: "Am I the right skin colour?" - Fin24
