- fun birthday dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/16/2014We did table side hibachi with our granddaughter and she was amazed at our chef's showmanship. We were lucky to get this professional as he seemed the best of the table side chefs. Food was tasty and service was attentive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very darkBethzVIPDined on 7/31/2014Very dark - I wonder what they were trying to hide? The sushi was ok. The big room with the hibachi tables looked really fun. The prices were fair.Special Features:

- Good experience, not not stunningjacnrhVIPDined on 6/21/2014The service was by far the best part, as my father and I were attended to regularly. We did not do hibachi, so sat in a main dining area. The building is decorated well and quite expansive; seems like it would be good for groups. The food was good, just not what I expected. I got chicken teriyaki and the chicken was boiled, which is not typical for teriyaki. I found it to be somewhat lacking in flavor because of this. My father got a soup and had the same remarks. It was good, but not great. A bit on the bland side. Portions were large though, and the hibachi tables seemed to be great for kids as well. Prices I think were a bit high, but not unreasonable at all.Special Features:
- Great food, great service.GlobalfoodieDined on 6/8/2014I decided to stop by and try out this place as I was in town and looking for some sushi options. The soft shell crab appetizer was to die for. The sea dragon roll and hot mama roll were two of the best sushi I had. And all their sushi is bogo which is great bang for my bucks. I also ended up taking a hibachi lunch to my husband which he absolutely loved. Overall excellent and I will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The following 37 reviews are from the Ai Fuji Japanese Steakhouse reviews archive.
- DisappointedtAbledDined on 5/25/2014Previously dinners have been wonderful. I would like to think this was just an off day. I was surprised by the quality if the seafood. The panko chicken and gyozas were good which made the other appetizers and 7 meals look and taste carelessly prepared.
- Ai Fuji ExperiencemarkDined on 5/15/2014Had a group of co-workers in from out of town. Very good environment, that encouraged group participation and great atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent experience!dukemomDined on 5/11/2014We chose Ai Fuji for our daughter's college graduation dinner celebration. We had reservations for 18 & were seated promptly. The service was outstanding & the chefs were extremely skilled & entertaining. We ordered a good many of the hibachi choices & everyone loved their selections. A good time was had by all!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious sushi!sushiloverDined on 4/18/2014I made a reservation for 6 and we were promptly seated in a booth that had a screened door for privacy; but if you wish to dine hibachi, you can sit on the other side of the restaurant. Sushi is 2 for 1 and it was certainly delicious. This was my first visit to this restaurant, as I have frequented another popular restaurant across the street; however one of my co-workers suggested this place and I'm glad she did - I've already been back!Special Features:
- pleasant surpriseneslo76Dined on 4/12/2014Our son was going to the Little Gym next door for the evening so we tried out Ai Fuji. I didn't have very high hopes for a strip mall Japanese place. However this was a solid restaurant. Food was very good, perhaps not spectacular. We didn't sit at the hibachi tables, but that always seems fun if you are in the mood for that. Definitely a great value- a lot food for the $. We would consider going again if we were in the area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A great nightenjoydiningoutDined on 3/14/2014Went with the family for my birthday celebration, just the four of us. The boys had never been to a Japanese steakhouse and they had no idea of the chef coming out and cooking. They loved it!! And the chef was so entertaining!! We found the staff to be so helpful and caring, they really were attentive!! My eight year old can't wait to go back for his birthday!! The food was really fresh and delicious. We will definitely be going back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great ServiceGnaff9093Dined on 3/7/2014New place yes. Great Service...second to none. However, the food does need serious work. I had sashimi and it was cut way too thick. I also hit some frozen pieces; means it was not fresh! Several folks in my party did not like their sushi rolls. the Shrimp chips were addictive!Special Features:

- Great Hibachi, Even Better SushiPapPitDined on 2/15/2014Without question one of the best hibachi places I've been to. Food was excellent, and the chef was both entertaining and talented; food was cooked perfectly. But, go for the sushi. Had the spicy tuna roll and the shrimp tempura roll. Both were outstanding and extremely fresh.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ha1pOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 2/14/2014One of only places I could book 7:30 reservation for Valentines Day. Read other reviews and thought it would be ok. And that's what it was...just ok. We were seated at a booth closest to the front of building. Not really a romantic spot. Right next to us were private rooms with sliding doors. Not sure how you reserve those spaces. Our waitress was super nice. food came out very quickly. Sushi rolls (2 for 1) were smaller than normal but good. We went with valentines special which seemed like a good deal. The rice that came with the dinners was what I would call "americanized". Place was loud due to the fun being had at the grills. Place is 30 minutes away so not worth a 2nd visit but if it were more local we might go again.Special Features:
- Good food and a good timeluvgoodfoodDined on 2/4/2014Ai Fuji is your typical Japanese style Habachi steakhouse. However, they also have great sushi that is buy one get one free.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Really good foodBKSqDined on 2/1/2014We had a dinner box and ramen, and they were delicious! The wait staff were very polite and the food came out very quickly. Even though the hibachi tables were full of people, the noise level was nice and quiet. We were able to get seated in one of their huge private rooms next to the main dining area. Those rooms look really cool and are quite spacious! I thought it was kinda funny when I ordered a house salad, and the wait staff asked if I wanted Ranch or ginger dressing on it. Who gets Ranch dressing on a house salad at a Japanese restaurant? :PSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Delightful experienceNewtoCHVIPDined on 1/1/2014Our 2 yo grand daughter, daughter-in-law, wife and I had dinner here and had a wonderful experience thanks to the fine food, the attentive and friendly wait staff and a comfortable atmosphere. We were seated quickly, greeted in a timely manner, and placed our order at a quick enough not to try the patience of a 2 year old. Adults ordered sushi and requested chicken for the grand kid; were treated with some shrimp chips that proved both delicious. Everything was top notch foodwise, and my sushi discriminating daughter-in-law said this was an excellent choice. We agreed. After our meal, the staff entertained our grand daughter and made us feel so very welcome and relaxed. Thank you for a most pleasant experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good SushiOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 12/14/2013Rolls were beautifully constructed and balanced. Namesake roll was my favorite. Wife enjoyed her dinner Sushi special price was also a nice surprise.Special Features:
- Best Sushi in town.TheOpenTablePoetVIPDined on 12/7/2013Ai Fuji makes the best sushi in the area. Other sushi restaurants use too much rice, and the fish is not nearly as fresh as Ai Fuji.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great timeMIkeyMikeDined on 12/1/2013We had a great time at Ai Fuji. We were celebrating our son's birthday and had a part of 15. The staff was very accomodating, friendly and helpful. The chefs were very entertaining (and were aware of how our 4 year old nieces could be afraid of the fire let us know what and when they were going to make the large flames so we could move the girls away from the tables. The food was very good, but it's the staff that makes Ai Fuji a very nice place to go.Special Features:
- Delicious, clean & friendly servicemsajfarDined on 11/29/2013This was our first visit on 11/29/13. We live far away so it will be some time before we go back but I didn't try the sushi and the sushi bar looked amazing! We had hibachi at the grill tables. I had filet & scallops, my husband had filet and chicken. Filet was delicious! Very tender. My husband liked the chicken (I didn't try it) and my scallops were just ok. They weren't bad, but they weren't great....just ok. The rice, veggies and appetizer shrimp were all perfect. They have this weird starter that is a shrimp puff disc...I don't really know what it is called or how to describe it but I didn't like it much. The salad was ok, the soup was great. Their sauces are divine. The service was excellent and the ambiance is very nice.Special Features:
- Outstanding HibachiBrentVIPDined on 11/16/2013We've visited most of the HIbachi restaurants in the area, and this is among the best while also being among the least expensive. The Hibachi chef "show" is typical and well done, the food was cooked perfectly and the huge portions were delicious. Ai Fuji is likely to become our favorite Japanese restaurant in the area.
- Fun hibachi experiencelgmahDined on 11/15/2013We took the kids here for dinner, and they enjoyed the entertainment of watching the hibachi being cooked in front of them. The cook was funny, and the food was quite good. Between the four of us, we tried the chicken, filet, shrimp, and scallops. We also had the salmon and avocado salad. Everything was tasty. The onion soup was good, and the ginger dressing was better than most we've had in the past. We agreed that we wished the vegetables had the same amount of mushrooms (more) as we usually get at similar restaurants. Overall, a fun place to go with the family, and/or to celebrate a special occasion with a group. I believe we'll be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Family Birthday DinnerfamilydinnerDined on 9/20/2013My family of 7 went for a birthday dinner. We were treated to a wonderful evening in which all three generations in the family had a good time. The hibachi chef even got my nephews to say yes to vegetables - amazing! And the food was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good Food, Reasonably PricedFrequentDinerVIPDined on 9/6/2013I tell my friends about this off-the-beaten path restaurant in a strip center off highway 54. The prices are very reasonable, the food very good and the service is great, as well. We have been a few times and usually have sushi, although the folks at the Hibachi tables all appear to be enjoying their food and the hibachi chef performances, as well. Maybe next trip we will have the hibachi meal. Try it, you'll like it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fun place, good foodlgmahDined on 8/27/2013Hibachi is yummy (chicken and scallops or shrimp), onion soup is yummy, less expensive than similar places in the area, and a better experience. Definitely recommend!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Happy Birthday DinnersashachellDined on 8/23/2013We had such a wonderful time at Ai Fuji Japanese Steakhouse! Great food and fun times.Special Features:
- Not bad for DurhamEastHNLFoodieVIPDined on 8/18/2013We took our son here for dinner before dropping him off at college. He loves sushi and from the reviews, we thought it would be a good choice. We thought for being in Durham where there isn't a large Japanese population, the food was decent. The sushi rolls are a great deal at 1/2 price. The quality is probably as good as can be expected in a location like Durham. It's hard to get the best fresh fish when you're not on the coasts or in a major metropolitan area.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good for family or date nightlgmahDined on 8/13/2013We've been to AI Fuji on several occasions, and the hibachi and sushi have both been consistently good. The chefs are entertaining, the kids have a good time, and it's also a nice place for date night, should you wish to sit in one of the booths, or one of the private rooms that each contains one table and a door. The prices are reasonable, and they have some really good drink specials, such as $5 martini night and good beer specials. Two thumbs up!Special Features:
- It was great!!JeannieNzDined on 7/31/2013It was great experience, even though when I got there and asked for my reservation made with Opentables it wasn't in there book. Don't know what happpened there with the site communication with the restaurant. But the hostess was great!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SUPER DUPER!!!jilleryDined on 7/22/2013My meetup group had an excellent dining experience here. The food was very good. The 'show' chef fun and the staff and care above average and higher.Special Features:
- Straightforward HibachiOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 7/21/2013Teppanyaki-style Hibachi (when they cook the food in front of you) is remarkably difficult to find in the Raleigh Durham area. This place got the job done. Ridiculously large portion sizes, though that is by no means a bad thing, and delicious food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing food!OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 6/20/2013Took my husband for his birthday on a Thursday night and while the restaurant was not very busy, the host offered us the option of sitting at the hibachi table. We ended up with a private show and we didn't mind the lack of company. The cook was entertaining and funny and the food was absolutely delicious (not to mention abundant). We were served very quickly but we could have stayed longer. We'd love to go back next time with a group. Had a great time!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Well Worth Trying!FrequentDinerVIPDined on 6/15/2013I think this restaurant has been in its location for only about 7 months. It is on Hwy 54 across the road from Homestead Market. They have both sushi, either at a sushi bar or at your table (and they are BOGO) and 6 or more hibachi tables. The sushi was expertly prepared, beautifully presented and tasted great! Rolls were of large size and we could have done without our appetizers as we were stuffed when we left. Prices very reasonable, Saturday night all beer, bottle or draft, are half price. The restaurant is nicely set up, nicely decorated and the staff was SUPER. I would STRONGLY recommend this over the other large Japanese steakhouse in Durham and would encourage anyone to give it a try...I don't think you'll be disappointed.Special Features:
- Great new hibachi place in S DurhamDurhamiteDined on 6/10/2013This was our first visit. Took our small kids on a Tuesday evening and sat at a hibachi table. Not very busy, food was great, staff was responsive and helpful with kid requests. A few small misunderstandings when we ordered, but they were corrected before the food was served. Lots of food, needed take-away boxes. Very pleasant experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- The newest sushi/hibachi restaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 5/26/2013The newest sushi/hibachi restaurant in Durham is a hit! Checked out Ai Fuji on a slow Sunday night, but the lack of customers didn't mean any sacrifice for a good show or good service. The restaurant is massive - with a large sushi and bar area, a number of regular tables and 10+ hibachi tables. The hibachi "show" was one of the better ones I've seen, the service was good and the food was good. Only complaint is that the chicken hibachi is coated in an additional sauce (other than soy, maybe like a hoisin sauce) that makes a little too greasy. Other than that they offer the same soup, salad starters and shrimp chips. Portions are huge (when are they not at a hibachi restaurant?!).I would recommend this to a friend.

Courtesy cars are nothing new in the auto industry. Collaborations between two companies have gone on for sometime now in an effort to entice the company's respective clients in the industry. If you recall, Ferrari once went this route, releasing a limited edition model of the Fiat 500 as a courtesy model for its clients. Now, a couple of other models under the Fiat umbrella will be giving birth to another one of these models in the form of the Alfa Romeo Giulietta for Maserati Edition.
The car will be limited to only 100 units and will be distinguished with a number of styling cues befitting its association with the upper-echelon Maserati. Among these features include a new set of 18" allow wheels with enhanced diamond tooling and a larger set of red caliper brakes. Meanwhile, the interior of the Giulietta for Maserati Edition has been dressed in a "Maserati Brown" Venere leather upholstery with brushed aluminum inserts. There's also an "Alfa Romeo for Maserati" plaque on the dashboard, to go with aluminum door sill plates with the names "Giulietta" and "Maserati" engraved on each side.
In terms of performance, the Giulietta for Maserati Edition will be powered by the top-of-the-line, 1.8-liter four-cylinder turbocharged Quadrifoglio Verde engine that produces an impressive 235 horsepower.

Causes of CancerThere is no one single cause for cancer. Scientists believe that it is the interaction of many factors--genetic, environmental, or constitutional characteristics of the individual.
Coping with a Diagnosis of Cancer in ChildrenA cancer diagnosis is shocking and overwhelming. But prognosis of childhood cancer continues to improve, and the chance of being cured continues to increase.
Diagnosing CancerMany tests are necessary to determine whether a child has cancer, or if another condition is mimicking the symptoms of cancer.
Questions to Ask Your Child's DoctorParents are entitled to a clear explanation about anything related to their child's condition. Here are some important questions you may consider asking your child's doctor.

Disputes between businesses are, at their heart, disagreements between people. While a corporate battle may pit two corporations against each other, the battle is begun, waged and concluded, by individuals that make decisions for the company. And, the outcome of these battles impact the people employed by the company, and the people that own the company.

American Society of Safety Engineers Support Orlando Convention Center's Green Efforts as They Prepare for June's Safety 2007
Des Plaines, IL (June 12, 2007) — The American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE), preparing for its June 24-27 Safety 2007 Professional Development Conference and Exposition in Orlando, fully supports the Orange County Convention Center for going "green" and will ask all its conference attendees to participate by recycling whenever possible.
"We urge our Safety 2007 participants to not only recycle while at the convention center, but in their hotels and while enjoying the greater Orlando area," ASSE President Donald S. Jones, Sr., P.E., CSP, said today. "We're expecting about 4,000 attendees from more than 30 countries and close to 400 exhibitors at Safety 2007 in Orlando and we believe their efforts can make a difference. Additionally, we hope everyone recycles wherever they are, whether at home, at work, or at school."
ASSE officials noted that Orlando's Orange County Convention Center was the first center in the country to be awarded a "Green Certification" for its environmental systems and programs by the International Organization for Standardization (IOS). IOS is a network of standards institutes from 146 countries working on creating and auditing environmental issues in partnership with governments, industry, businesses and consumer representatives.
In 2000, the last time ASSE held its conference in Orlando, Orange County Convention Center officials realized that it recycled less than one percent of its total waste stream. By 2006, officials noted, the center had 1) recovered 40 percent of all waste; 2) diverted 9,000 tons of material to be remanufactured; and 3) recycled 871 tons of cardboard and 5.8 tons of office paper.
"We're asking all Safety 2007 attendees to participate and to recycle as appropriate," Jones said. "Many of our members are well into being green. For instance, the ASSE Hospitality Branch of our Practice Specialty area is developing a "Greening of Hospitality" white paper of environmental best practices in the industry to include employees, guests, maintenance practices, purchasing and more."
Founded in 1911, ASSE is the oldest and largest professional safety society and is dedicated to protecting people, property and the environment. Its more than 30,000 members manage, supervise, and consult on safety, health, and environmental issues in all industries, government, labor and education.

Tipping question.
- N.O.Food Apr 24, 2008 04:23 PM
My wife insists on tipping 20% even when we order take-out. She tipped 20% to the pizza place (N.Y. Pizza) the other day after we called in the order. I freaked out, but she says i'm wrong and that tipping 20% is the "proper thing to do" even when ordering out. When I get take out, I only tip a few bucks because the food is handled minimally, and nobody except the cooks spent much time on the dishes. What do ya'll think?
I tip at least 15% on takeout food and it's been returned to me many times over in the form of larger portions and better service. Most servers don't like to bother with takeout because of the lack of tips. They could be pampering a table of sit-down customers instead and getting a much better return on their efforts.
re: PeterL
SWMBO? Can't wait to read what that means.
I tip 20% for takeout since I usually go to the place, and at least that and more in sit down restaurants.
I don't tip at all for fast food, especially when they have tip jars. If I had food delivered, I would tip 20% as well.
Why not. They all deserve it. Hardest jobs in the world.
So. What is SWMBO?
re: dolores
SWMBO=She Who Must Be Obeyed.
The rules for takeout and delivery tips are less well-established than for sit-down dining. For takeout, I tip 10% at places where I'm a regular. For delivery, 10% or $2/bag, whichever is more.
Where I currently work, we have a carryout department. Before I worked there, I never thought of tipping on carryout orders, but one day I overheard one of the women working in the carrout department complaining about an employee who came in and ordered food to go but left without tipping (she informed me that 10% is an appropriate amount to tip on carryout).
Now that I bartend, I have a lot of guests place to-go orders through me so that they can enjoy a drink or two while they wait. I never realized it before, but packing up a to-go order is quite a process, and (at least in my restaurant) involves running around to different stations to collect all of the supplies needed (dressings, bread, plasticware, etc.). It takes me away from my bar and my guests for substantial stretches of time, and even though I don't expect a huge tip on carryout orders, I always get irritated when someone doesn't recognize the effort that went into getting their order to them in a timely fashion.
Now when I order carryout, I always tip 20%. The bottom line is that SOMEONE SOMEWHERE is putting the order together, and it's not always a quick and simple process. 20% tends not to be that much more money out of my pocket, and I hope that it helps to make up for the alarming number of people who feel like they don't have to tip at all.
re: Al_Pal
>>20% tends not to be that much more money out of my pocket, and I hope that it helps to make up for the alarming number of people who feel like they don't have to tip at all.
Well said, Al Pal.
re: Al_Pal
no disrespect meant Al_Pal.......but i don't know where you work that "running around" to get take out supplies takes you away from the bar and guests for "substantial" amounts of time. Any place i've ever been, the food arrives to the server, who then in turn puts cutlery etc in the bag pretty quickly.....the dressings, bread or other food items are already there before the order leaves the kitchen.
re: im_nomad
Nomad, just because YOU haven't seen it doesn't mean that's not how it happens.
Every place I've worked at has a server or bartender put your order together.
It may be proper for her, but not everyone in general. It is not currently the custom in the US.
Delivery is 10% (more if it involves climbing staircases or getting wet in rain/snow), rounded up to the nearest dollar.
Pickup is nothing or whatever you feel like. An exception might be made for fine dining establishment that offer takeout and where servers do the packaging, et cet.
Otherwise, no.
it may be worth it to your marital harmony to adopt a spouse's tipping policy, regardless of conventional wisdom :) increasing your tip by a couple of bucks is not worth getting into a spat with a loved one about, and it will brighten the day of the people handling your food, which is always a good thing-- see Al Pal & Big Easy's posts.
A search should bring up dozens of topics on tipping for take out. It's an often repeated subject here. I guess I fall into the camp that says that a tip is appropriate at a place whose primary business is NOT takeout (usually a sit-down restaurant) because you're ordering food that requires a certain amount preparation and organization to get right and pack up. It's not generally an assembly line process as in a fast food place. I especially do it when I'm taking out from a place I frequent as a sit-down diner.
Our local neighborhood Italian resto is a good example. Newer servers seem to take turns at the take-out counter. They take the order, turn it in to the kitchen,check to be sure it's ready and correct, pack it up, add utensils, etc.. To me that's maybe one third of the job of a server at a table and deserves 8-10% or so. Leaving nothing just seems wrong.
does pizza eaten in house get much more handling than take out pizza?
i've become more aware of tipping on take out since i came to these boards....not sure yet if that's a good or a bad thing that i'm so easily influenced, lol.
While your SO is probably doing a nice thing, i don't necessarily see it as necessary. The restaurant does presumably have to supply disposable containers (which i wouldn't mind being charged for btw), but does not have to bring dishes, smile and check in throughout your dinner, or use their own soap and hot water to wash the dishes either. The server, in my experience, walks from the kitchen to cash register with order usually already bagged, maybe stuffs a few napkins or a prerolled napkin/plastic cutlery combos into the bag and rings it in. Not really the same as them waiting on you for an hour or more.
I usually tip at least 20-25% for take out as I do minimum for sit down. If take out, I rarely tip. Unless I see that someone has done something extra for me. I think the smallest bill I ever got for Takeout was $14, and I tipped $3. But I knew the guy literally drove 2 blocks to get to my house.
I don't believe that delivery people remember big tips, unless they are much more than 20%. Like 50%. The only time I saw a return on a tip was when I tipped a kid $10 on Valentie's day. The next day I ordered from the same place and the food was there in literally 15 minutes. I tipped $5, and never had that quick service again.

FORT WASHINGTON, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Please replace the release with the following corrected version due to multiple revisions.
The corrected release reads:
On Wednesday, October 23, 2013, Parx Casino Hotel & Spa will showcase its proposal to bring a world-class entertainment destination to Prince George's County, Fort Washington, Maryland during a public presentation and hearing before the Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission at Friendly High School beginning at 3:30pm.
The Maryland Video Lottery Facility Location Commission has scheduled three separate public forums to review the proposals from each of the applicants in this competition. Last week, a drawing was conducted to determine the tour, presentation and public hearing schedule. Maryland Casino LLC, branded as Parx Casino, Hotel & Spa, a subsidiary of Greenwood Racing, Inc., will be the second applicant to participate in the public hearing process.
On Wednesday, October 23rd, the Commission will tour the Parx Casino Hotel & Spa proposed location in Fort Washington at the intersection of Indian Head Highway and Old Fort Road at 2:00 p.m. The casino operator will make its presentation to the Commission at 3:30 p.m. and a hearing where the public can comment will occur at 6:00 p.m. Both the presentation and the hearing will take place at Friendly High School. All of the companies vying for the license will be subject to the same process.
"We look forward to the opportunity to present our proposal, which we are certain offers the best opportunity for the State of Maryland and Prince George's County, to the Commission as well as to the general public. We will work in partnership with the local community to provide the most revenue for the State of Maryland and bring economic development for the residents of Prince George's County," said Tony Ricci, CEO of Greenwood Racing, Inc. "Parx Casino, Hotel & Spa will be a community destination and a catalyst for economic development and tourism. The project will create more than 5,000 jobs and $1 billion of annual economic benefit to the state upon completion, while generating maximum benefits to the local constituency."
In November 2012, a referendum was passed in Maryland to allow for a casino location in Prince George's County, and authorized the Maryland Video Lottery Commission to solicit competitive bids for the license. As part of this bid process, Parx Casino Hotel & Spa submitted an application in May 2013 with a proposed license fee of $28.5 million, which is by far the highest of the three bids. The Parx proposal will generate the greatest revenue to the state because it features 4,750 slot machines and 170 table games. The world-class destination will include a 250 room hotel and will offer best-in-class branded restaurants, bars and lounges along with a multi-purpose theater, which will showcase exciting live entertainment.

Old favorites, burlesques, and adaptations of properties from French originals continued to reap rewards for the Adelphi. As succinctly put by the Illustrated London News (24 Apr 47, p. 265), "The author is happy who writes for the Adelphi; explosions of laughter, from its merry audience, reward not only all the speeches intended to be jokes, but all that are not."
Of the adaptations from French sources, The Phantom Dancers was perhaps the most successful, with 102 performances to its credit. Taken from the ballet, Giselle, the musical directors borrowed directly from Adolphe C. Adam's score, but, eclectically, also included some Ethiopian airs as well as a parody of "Buffalo Gals, Can't-ye-come Out Tonight." The Sunday Times pronounced The Phantom Dancers "another great success ... at this fortunate little theatre" (8 Nov 1846, p. 2).
The illnesses of Wright and Bedford in January of 1847 apparently caused the Adelphi management no little concern and no small effort to replace them. Bedford's illness was apparently the more serious, being reported by the Theatrical Times as "a ruptured blood vessel" (30 Jan 1847, p. 32). The Theatrical Journal commented on a rumour that Bedford had died, "We are glad to say since his decease he has resumed his theatrical avocation this week at the Adelphi" (13 Feb 1847, p. 56). Bedford's first performance on 11 February, in The Green Bushes, was attended by His Royal Highness Count Montemolin.
Falling victim to its own success, the Adelphi had outgrown its house. In December of 1846, it was reported that Manager Webster had purchased the western side of Bull-inn Court for six thousand pounds. The press announced the Adelphi was to be razed and a new house built on a much larger scale, using several adjoining properties. Moreover, demolition was to begin after Easter of 1847, and the Adelphi company was to remove to the Olympic, should George Bolton not resume his lease there. (Bolton, in fact, filed for bankruptcy in July of 1847.)
By March of 1847, immediate renovations may still have seemed a likelihood, since the managers were relying on the aging standard, Green Bushes. The Theatrical Journal commented that even though Green Bushes was reaching its 200th night, "the management still persist in cramming it down the throats of the people." The same source then went on to offer a perhaps telling description of the theatre's fortunes: "Business has been very slack, nor can it be wondered when the entertainments are so poor and scanty, while all around are brilliant with attractions and novelties. Buckstone's new drama is sadly wanted; till then the management must be content to play to empty benches" (6 Mar 1847, p. 75).
Buckstone's Flowers of the Forest, which opened on March 11, did apparently reverse the public trend back to the Adelphi's benches and played 79 performances during the remainder of the season. Title Deeds, which opened in June, was attractive as well. By the end of July, it was still drawing well, causing the management to postpone the scheduled opening of How To Settle Accounts with Your Laundress.
In July, arrangements transferring the Lyceum Theatre to
Charles Mathews and Madame Vestris were being concluded,
and a new company was being formed by them. In this new company
were to be Mrs. Fitzwilliam, Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam, and
Mr. Charles Selby from the Adelphi. The Sunday Times
reported it to be understood that the new Lyceum management
would confine itself to petite comedy, vaudeville, light
farces, and burlesques (11 July, p. 2).

Small dish to form part of cafeteria menu
Staff, delegates and guests at FAO headquarters this week can enjoy a dish created from food that would normally have gone to waste.
Cafeteria in headquarters is offering vegetable soup with croutons, prepared from food that would otherwise have gone to waste on World Food Day.
FAO has teamed up with the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Last Minute Market and Pedevilla to provide the menu option in the 8th-floor cafeteria on World Food Day, Wednesday, 16 October.
It is estimated that we do not eat up to a third of all food produced for human consumption. Reducing food waste can pay a critical part in creating more sustainable food systems; the theme of this year's World Food Day.

Alien Plant Found Near Roswell
- Grey
- uploaded: Apr 4, 2011
- Hits: 444
Little green men are no strangers to Roswell, but now one New Mexico botanist says a little green plant has an out-of-this world connection to New Mexico.
David Salman said he was on a seed hunting trip near Roswell when he noticed a faint glow coming from what appeared to be a meteor crater.
He said it turned out the light was coming from a small patch of carnivorous cacti.
Salman said he found a cactus that eats bugs, glows and probably came to earth on a meteor.
He says he scooped up some samples to see if someone could identify them, so far no one has been able to.

Like viral DNA, members of the media-military-congressional-industrial complex replicate themselves. Thus, what's interesting in the Mediaite non-story about the tedious Juan Williams and his son, who're "blasting liberals for their 'Uncle Tom' treatment of black conservatives"—perennial, impotent whining in such circles—is the fact that son has successfully followed father's path. Williams senior has, no doubt, greased the skids for sonny-boy.
Many are the examples of major pundits or newsmen who've helped their spawn into the family business. Tim Russert's son, Luke, is an example. I recall reading that the father of chubby Katie Pavlich, who is ubiquitous in Republican media, was a mover and shaker in same circles, but all evidence of that had been expunged. There are many others.
And it's a slow news week.
UPDATE (3/30): NAME THE NEPOTISTS. At the Fox News family, "Peter Doocy, son and possible clone of host Steve Doocy," is another beneficiary of nepotism. As is Juliet Huddy's brother, John Huddy, Jr. It's all in the family at Fox.
Viva corruption in cable.

Bittersweet by Drew Lamm
Taylor Rose is a Gramma's girl. She adores her grandmother, and her grandmother is her life. When Grams has a stroke and is put in a nursing home, Tatlor's world falls apart. She stops painting, and talking, and even eating. Hedr dad tries to help, but he doesn't know her very well. She gets her creative juices back after reading her mother's journal, and planting rasberry bushes for Grams. Even after Grams dies, she still keeps painting.
I can totally relate to this book because I love to paint and draw. I used to be able to draw beautiful pictures, but after my grandmother died, I couldn't do it anymore. And the funny thing is, Taylor and I have the same middle name, Rose.

i've only worn these once so far, it was in temperatures in the 'teens and with only long underwear they were not quite enough to stop the wind - i have a feeling that with one more layer underneath, however, they will be redeemed.

At first I was surprised by the "roomier" fit of this jacket, but I appreciated it once I got out on the slopes. It's warm, light, and great for layering. The hood is big enough to fit over my helmet, too - hooray!

Labor Force Shifts Toward Health
We're all in agreement that economic recessions bite, yes? Since reading this article, I've read nothing but articles and sound bites and commentary that all state basically the same thing: The Baby Boomers are getting old(er). Anyone working in the healthcare industry will have an excellent chance to maintain their jobs, careers, and mortgage payments despite the economic downturn. Let the healthcare-ing of the aging process begin!

UNITED STATES - Tags: SPORT FOOTBALL
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning leaves the field after being defeated by the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL Super Bowl XLVIII football game in East Rutherford, New Jersey, February 2, 2014. REUTERS/Brendan McDermid (UNITED STATES - Tags: SPORT FOOTBALL) - RTX185TF REUTERS
Denver and Seattle were evenly matched with 15-3 records going into Sunday's Super Bowl, but the Seahawks pummelled the Broncos 43-8 in a game that paled in comparison to the event built around it.
For a team that had the highest-scoring offence in NFL history, it was a shockingly poor effort by the Broncos in what could be the swan song for Denver quarterback Peyton Manning.
But Denver isn't the only team to lose big when it counts the most.
Here is a look at seven other epic sports blowouts in big games:
Super Bowl XXIV: San Francisco 49ers 55, Denver Broncos 10
Denver has been on the wrong end of a Super Bowl blowout more than once.
In 1990, quarterback John Elway and his Broncos faced an even worse defeat than this year's debacle, falling by a whopping 45 points, still a record for Super Bowl futility.
San Francisco, led by quarterback Joe Montana, won its second straight NFL final after scoring two touchdowns in every quarter.
Super Bowl XXII: Washington Redskins 42, Denver Broncos 10
Guess who? Two years earlier, the Broncos had a slightly less humiliating defeat, this time at the hands of the Redskins.
The Redskins outscored the Broncos 35-0 in the second quarter alone.
By the early 1990s the Broncos had made the finals four times, losing each and leading to one of the all-time great Simpsons jokes, when Homer is disappointed to learn he has received the Denver Broncos from a wealthy benefactor.
"I think owning the Denver Broncos is pretty good," Marge says.
"You just don't understand football, Marge," Homer replies with a sigh.
Hockey's 1981 Canada Cup: Russia 8, Canada 1
The history of Canada and Russia in international hockey is usually characterized by memorable battles and last-second goals.
Not so during the second Canada Cup, the only tournament at the time where the world's top players took part.
The Russians dominated the one-game final in Montreal. Sergei Shepelev had a hat trick as the Russians scored five goals in the third period alone.
The Montreal Gazette wrote that Canada's hockey pride had been "stabbed in the heart."
Canada may have enacted a bit of historic revenge during the 2010 Olympics, dominating the Russians 7-3 in a quarter-final elimination game.
1996 Stanley Cup finals: Colorado Avalanche 8, Florida Panthers 1
The Stanley Cup finals have had their fair share of four-game sweeps in every era, but in the last 20 years, few have been more mismatched than this championship series.
The series — between a heavily favoured Avalanche squad and an upstart Florida club that was a surprise to have made the final — went according to script and included a huge blowout in Game 2.
Colorado scored four power-play goals on its way to an easy 8-1 victory.
Though the deciding fourth game was a thrilling 1-0 win in triple overtime, the series was never in doubt. Florida held a lead in the series for fewer than 30 minutes combined.
UEFA Euro 2012 final: Spain 4, Italy 0
In the widest margin of victory in soccer's European championship, Spain trounced Italy to win its third consecutive major tournament.
Struck by an injury after using all three of its substitutions, Italy was forced to play with 10 players for the final third of the game.
Things got so bad for Italy that Spain's captain and goalkeeper, Iker Casillas, pleaded with an assistant referee to blow the whistle.
"Respect for the rival," he said, according to the Guardian. "Respect for Italy. It's 4-0, yes?"
1998 NBA finals: Chicago Bulls 96, Utah Jazz 54
Michael Jordan won his sixth and final championship with the Bulls in a 4-2 series victory over Utah.
The Jazz players should be happy the series will be remembered as Jordan's last hurrah, because their team set records for ineptitude in Game 3.
The game was the worst loss in NBA finals history, and the Jazz scored what were then the fewest points in any NBA game since the shot clock was introduced in 1954-55.
The Chicago Tribune reported that Utah's radio play-by-play man, Rod Hundley, dealt with it by switching sides.
"I just became a Bulls fan for the second half," he joked.
1989 World Series: Oakland A's 13, San Francisco Giants 7
This matchup is remembered as the series hit by the "World Series Earthquake." Game 3 was delayed 10 days when a deadly earthquake struck the San Francisco Bay Area.
When the game was finally played, it was a blowout for Oakland — just like the other three games in the series.
Oakland never trailed in the October classic, and outscored the Giants 32-14 over the four games.

Cameron, now an afternoon host, gave Ali her big break on radio in 2002 on his morning show on rival Hot 107.9. He left for V-103 in early 2005, but Ali stayed behind, leading her own morning show until Hot dumped that show in 2008 for Rickey Smiley. She left Hot last May.
In the meantime, she has since had her second baby and awaited her next big career move. "It's been a journey going from billboards to walking to the unemployment line pregnant," she said on the air today. "Just to be able to come back is a true blessing."
In an interview Saturday morning, Ali said the deal had been in the works for a long time but declined to detail why it took as long as it did. She signed the deal on April 12 and kept it under wraps until Friday.
"It was the most obvious place for me to go" after Hot, she said. "It fit so perfectly." She said V-103 Program Director Reggie Rouse has been after her for awhile, even while she was still at Hot: "To be able to learn under his tutelage is wonderful."
She did enjoy her break from work to raise her child but was ready to get back to work this year.
Growing up in the 1990s, she listened to Mike & Carol in the morning and Ryan in the evenings. "To be there now is a dream come true," she said. She said it was a little strange to say "V-103, the people's station" instead of the various Hot 107.9 slogans. "I had note cards in front me," she said, to avoid slip ups.
She also signed a deal to do be a "Game Day" reporter for NBA-TV. "I got two jobs in one day!" she said.
Radio revenues are starting to stabilize and even go up at some stations. It appears V-103 is opening up its wallet for Ali, perhaps using money freed from cutting Joyce Littel in January. V-103 remains the top-ranked station in Atlanta by a wide margin.
Ryan has been without a full-time female sidekick since Elle Duncan last year took over the mid-day slot from Porsche Foxx, who was let go late in 2008.
"While everybody is cutting back on personality and talk in today's PPM world [that's the new meter system], V-103 has stuck by its guns," said former V-103 morning host Mike Roberts. "It's a personality-driven radio station. If you're going to do it, you need strong personalities. It's a good move for V-103."
I first posted a rumor of her talks with V-103 back in early February. I figured it was a solid rumor because the players involved didn't even call me back to tell me they couldn't talk to me. And after I posted the rumor, I heard absolutely nothing. If it were false, someone would have told me. The boss at V-103, Rick Caffey, is not a fan of personnel leaks. He likely told the parties involved that the deal would be off if they even talked to me.

Have no idea who that is, however, I would like to get my swirl on. Lovely woman. Meoow.

V103 has sunk to a new low. I hope she doesn't last. I hate her! She brings nothing to the table. Untalented ghetto heffa….
April 23rd, 2010
7:08 pm
oh yeah, I will make it my personal mission to see that she doesn't last. CBS Radio, etc. will be hearing from me. I'm not just gonna come on here & b*tch about it, I'm gonna take action! She needs to stay gone, she doesn't even deserve to be behind a mike or have a job in radio period.

I have enjoyed Ryan by himself. Anybody is better than Elle. Maybe they will let Rashan work with Ryan for a while, give her the Midday show and get Elle Duncan out of town.

The boss at V-103, Rick Caffey, must given the people involved hell if they even talked to me because he is not a big fan of personnel leaks.

thisizbullshyt – you need help. She has a family to feed also. I'm sure your b****ing will really work. *sarcasm* While you're miserable because Rashan Ali is back, she'll be making her money at not one, but TWO jobs.

Rashaan and Ryan have great chemistry……a good move. I guess I will reprogram my radio to include V103 now. lol.
April 23rd, 2010
9:19 pm
Yes. Good move for V103. Rashan is good hometown folk.
April 23rd, 2010
9:26 pm
thisizbullshyt- you do need help and I've got the name and number of a really good rehab clinic in Mississippi for you. Just don't tell 'em that I sent you because they're looking for me right now (I took a break from rehab which hasn't ended just yet). Oh and Welcome Back Rashan and Good Luck! If there's anybody that can tame Ryan Cameron, it's you. Speaking of "taming", does anybody know where I can find a good dominatix around here?…
April 23rd, 2010
9:32 pm
Go Soror Rashan! So glad to see you and Ryan back together!
April 23rd, 2010
9:34 pm
DAMN SHE IS FINE!!! I quit listening to V103 a while back….but I will listen now…
April 23rd, 2010
9:37 pm
Thats going to be pretty cool.
April 23rd, 2010
9:41 pm
I had a feeling that she would be back on Air when Hot let her go. After Elle left Ryan show, I figured that they would give Rashan the position. That is a great move. Ryan is the best!!! I meet Rashan and she is a very nice person!!!

ok yes get real i agree with you about elle. she is the worst, most negative person i have ever heard on radio. and when she's not race-baiting or berating someone on the air, she's at best completely NOT interesting. porsche foxx may have been a little cracked out, but at least she was interesting and had something to bring to the table.
now about rashaan, i'm glad she's coming back. i always thought V-103 should free up some money by dumping frank ski. i would have kept sexy wanda smith though for the comic edge. but putting ryan and rashaan on in the morning is a good move. also, i would probably keep the 10 P to 2 A shift free of a DJ for now. they'll still b number 1 overnights anyway with or without a DJ
April 23rd, 2010
10:00 pm
Good news for a eastside representative!
April 23rd, 2010
10:08 pm
I'm happy for both of them.
April 23rd, 2010
10:08 pm
I never liked Rashan. However, I don't care where she works because I don't listen to either of those stations. I wish her no harm, but I think she sucks!
April 23rd, 2010
10:09 pm
Oh yea, if they were on in the a.m., I would definitely listen!!! Oh well…all we can do is pray! LOL
April 23rd, 2010
10:34 pm
Yo Nanette, you can't actually SEE her while listnin to the radio. But she is from tha 'A'. And so is Ryan. Way to keep tha ATLiens employed. Das wussup. Now all we gotta do is get Ryan back to tha mornins and send Frank Ski's dodo self back to tha M.I.A. OK, back to my Falcon's blog.

I think V-103 should replace Ryan Cameron with Elle Duncan. She is the best radio personality out there period. I don't know who this Ali person is but I wish her good luck. Perhaps she could replace Wanda Smith on the morning show. She drives me crazy every morning with her nonsense rants and all male review promo's.
Oh, and V-103, PLEASE STOP PLAYING THE SAME 5 SONGS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!! If I hear Monica's "Everything to Me" or Usher's "Daddy's Home" one more time I'm going to slap somebody.
April 23rd, 2010
10:57 pm
She's not that bright and it comes across on the air.
April 23rd, 2010
11:03 pm
C'mon Diddy, tha Ryan King IS Atlanta radio. Period. And remember yall, Rashan s just a co-host. She's just there to help entertain. She can fill that role well.
April 23rd, 2010
11:50 pm
have not listened to V-103 in years and still won't. However, glad she is working again in the local market.

Ryan and Rashan have always had great chemistry and have that "It" factor that can't be defined in simplistic terms. For those that are intelligent, you know it when you hear it. Their quick wit coupled with insightful commentary can hold their listeners with authentic "edutainment"
With that being said, The Frank Ski and Wanda Show has run its course. I dont care if I listen to it once a week or once a month, their responses are very predictable. Frank, because he's the most intelligent of the bunch, speaks as if his regurgitated OPINION is gosple. The consistent name-dropping because of his C-list Celebrity status (only in Atlanta) is played. Wanda probably hasn't put together a string of 3-4 thought provoking sentences in the last 3 years. If she is the standard of what is the epitome of the "Most Influential" Black women in Atlanta, then what we consider to be the Black Mecca needs to be re-evaluated. Their commentary for relevant issues, whether it's relationships, family, education or politics, is elementary and borderline comical compared to any in-depth research that can be done by logging onto a computer.
If V103 could do some extensive research in determing the extent of the gap between their targeted demographic vs. their current listening audience, then we may start to see less of the back-slapping menstril show and more of a focus on critical thinking for its listeners. If not, the educated Black people in our city will continue to turn off and tune in once a week or once a month.
Historically, Black radio used to educate our people and fill in the gaps that were missing. Jesse Jackson, in his Presidential runs in the 1980s, used the power of Black radio to move his agenda forward by appealing to the masses. This pioneer carried over 12 primaries in 1988 and paved the way for the historical election of our current POTUS. Black radio is currently nothing more than an outlet that continues to perpetuate negative sterotypes through the music played and over-saturated focus on consumerism. When was the last time V103 had guests that actuall MADE something!?!?
Hopefully Ryan and Rashan will at least provide some balance because we cant get back to our roots over night but one step at a time.
April 24th, 2010
2:50 am
At least Ryan and Rashan are both educated in their fields. you have to respect that.
There is a reason Wanda, Frank Ski, the she-man and Elle are so ignorant-uneducated… and why V-103 has gone to the dogs. Urban radio is awful and plays awful music for our kids.
Get Real.

Rashan has the worst radio voice and now I will not be listening to Ryan Cameron.
April 24th, 2010

I have been in love with this woman for a long time I can't tell you anything about here abillitys as a radio host all though I have listen to her for years but just to look at wow!!!!. I wish her nothing but the best and Ryan your the man for hireing her you are a brother who gives back God bless you all.

I heard Rashan yesterday on my way home and honestly was not impressed; hopefully she can win me over. If not I'll have to listen to 107.9.
April 24th, 2010

Welcom Back Rashan!! I have missed hearing your inspiring words over the radio ways!
April 24th, 2010
8:06 am
Congratulations Rashan! Now if V-103 would just move Ryan and Rashan to the morning show and boot out that egotistical Frank Ski, Wanda Smith and SHEE-RA, V-103 would have a real morning show again.

Met both Rashan and Ryan at Rashan's Sporty girl fund raising event last year. She had her event the same day she got terminated, and she was composed and gracious throughout the evening. Do all of you haters even know about the charity Rashan has that gets young ladys involved in non-traditional sports? Rashan was a swimmer in college, and the only African American on the swim team. They will be fine, and anyone who doesn't want to listen should turn the dial. Good look for V-103 to hire her…makes great business sense, and that's what radio is…a business. Good luck Rashan. Do your thing and get Sporty Girls back on track.
April 24th, 2010
9:10 am
I am glad Rashan is back, and congrats to her!!!!! I loved her on HOT 107.9. Ryan and Rashan are a great TEAM….I met her once in ATL, and she seems to be a very nice lady. I live in Tampa, Fla. now, and I will be missing out on the greatest DUO, since "Peaches and Herb", BAT MAN and ROBIN",,,well you get the picture. Go Girl, do you and be blessed!!!!

V-103 is whack. Get Sattelite Radio! They got Jamie Foxx's channel (Foxxhole), Raw Dawg Comedy and Backspin Channel 39 (Hip-Hop). $12 a month.

– I agree wholeheartedly with all of your viewpoints. They reflect some
of the opinions about V-103 that I expressed on a previous AJC forum
that discussed the dismissal of Joyce Littel.
One thing though: The Jim Crow – era "blackface" theatre was minstrel,
not "menstril".

HBCU Pride- Most people with some sort of education understand what you're saying. I commend you. But, once you realize that these 'people', 'companies',or 'businesses' don't really care about you or the masses, the better off we will all be. And it doesn't matter which industry. We are constantly dumbed down as we listen to these people that have not been trained, informed, or educated on World Issues. All these 'head honchos' care about are the numbers that they put up. You could be listening one morning and they might be talking about teen pregnancy or some other issue that is plaguing our community and all of a sudden they pause for a commercial to tell you R. Kelly is coming to town! Look…I know I'm waaaaay off the topic, but I just had to say something. I just want us all to focus on THE TRUTH. I mean the truth about EVERYTHING! There are many beliefs, religions, theories, etc………There's only ONE truth. Sorry for the short rant. Take care everybody.

V-103 went to the dogs so long ago, it was already bad with Wanda Smith dumbing it down with her antics and mumbo jumbo hee haw. Then, it really got worse with the show delivering entertainment news from Ms. Sophia. I mean really, just tell us what's going on, does She have to be a MAN in drag? V- 103 is the modern day Chitlin Circuit.. I stopped listening… I am so gone..

My take on the 25 vs 10 man raid team issue:
(Preface this with - I've never raided in a 25-man group, beyond LFR, which for purposes of this conversation doesn't count)
I raid for the challenge, and to see the content, and to get sweet loot and progress my character. But - I do it with a group of people that I have fun talking to. We spend our time in vent cracking jokes, telling stories, discussing movies and other games... you name it. I *LIKE* my raid team, to the point where I look forward to interacting with them every Tuesday and Thursday. If I didn't have a quality group like I do? I probably wouldn't be raiding.
It seems like a lot of that would be lost in 25s... you can't have people cutting up in vent. It seems like it would be a much more business-like atmosphere. Maybe I'm wrong here, but as I see it, the social dynamic would be much different (more restrictive!) than it is in 10s, for no other reason than pure logistics.
I'll take my 10 man group any day. I just wish they hadn't hosed up the 10 man groups' ability to put together the legendary as badly as they did... :(

1976: Time Magazine: Ford's 'Blooper Heard 'Round the World'
President Gerald Ford speaks as Jimmy Carter listens during the first of three televised debates on September 23, 1976, held at Philadelphia's Walnut Street Theater. The other two were held in San Francisco, Calif., and Williamsburg, Va. During one of those debates Ford declared that Poland was not under the domination of the Soviet Union, which at the time it was. Time magazine called it "the blooper heard round the world." Ford's rival said the president had "disgraced our country." (AP Photo/File)

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.
Thomasville- The Thomasville Fire Department is planning its annual Muscular Dystrophy Boot Drive.
All of the proceeds from the event go to the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The department won the "Rookie of the Year Award" as newcomer to the fundraiser in 2003. Last year, it was a top contributor again.
As Thomasville firefighter Derek Knight goes about his daily duties, there's always one thing on his mind. "Helping out the community," he says. That's why he's the co-chairman of the TFD's annual muscular dystrophy boot drive. The department has gotten to know several local kids who have the disease. "We show them around the station. We cook them supper, show them the fire truck, just make them a fireman for the day," says Knight.
The boot drive is an important fundraiser for both the department and the MDA. But firefighters stress that they never pressure people for donations. "We'll take whatever they give us. They'll empty ashtrays, dig under the seats. Just whatever," says Knight.
Last year, the Thomasville Fire Department raised $25,000 for the MDA. That's the highest amount in their grouping. They've set a goal for this year as well. But they're keeping it under wraps because of a little friendly competition. "We're competing with Tallahassee. They challenged us last year. We beat them last year. And we're going for it again this year," says Knight.
A little competition to raise the bar, when raising money for a good cause. A firefighter trains day in and day out to save lives. "We'll normally have anywhere from 2 to 4 hours of training a day," says Lieutenant Scott Suber. But sometimes those lives are saved with commitment instead of equipment. "We make the commitment that if it rains, we're going to stand in the rain. We're going to do whatever it takes to help out MDA and the community," says Knight. It's that kind of dedication that makes the TFD a top contributor year after year.
The boot drive kicks-off on September first. But if you'd like to make a donation before that, the department has an account at Commercial Bank called MDA. Muscular dystrophy affects more than one-million Americans.

Crack Is Wack: Stop the Sag
"American Idol's" General Larry Platt has gone and inspired a movement!
New York State Senator Eric Adams can't stand to see pants on the ground. In a YouTube video and in billboards splayed all over Brooklyn, he's imploring today's youth to "raise [their] level of respect by raising [their] pants."
What's he got against this legal brand of crack? He says that because it is a byproduct of prison culture, the image of butt-grazing jeans and exposed underwear conjures a "negative and degrading racial stereotype."
Senator Adams calls this look "unkempt and unnecessary" and urges us to "confront and reject these misrepresentations" because "sagging pants have become a degrading and self-imposed icon ... they follow in a long tradition of negative stereotyping that results in groups being seen in a negative light."
"If we raise our pants, we raise our image," he says.
Just watch the clip for yourself.
What do you guys think? Do you feel there's some truth to his observation? Do raised pants = a raised image? Share your thoughts below!
What would happen if somone said, comb your hair differntly because it makes you look wrong.? What would happen if someone said that you shouldn't wear b-ball shorts because it shows that maybe you like basketball.wouldn't that take away your right to express your self.? Why don't older people understand that saggin is part of our style. In the 1930s "flappers" where a huge issue. They too where criticized a lot. But now we even have girls showing most part of their chest. There's no difference with this situation. I think that senator should stop worrying about looks & start worrying about other things like people that don't have anywhere to live in or people that are suffering hunger, maybe he . Our style isn't affecting anybody but ourselves. Don't we have a right to choose what we look like and what we want to be? Our level of respect would be way higher if we still sag and we stand for what we want.!!! Why do all adults always say what looks bad and what doesn't look bad.? People should stop worrying about looks on the real. It doesn't affect you at all.!!! All this campaign thing is pointless cause it will not change anything, cultures will always grow bigger.!!! P.S I'm a 17 year old guy. And I SAG my pants proudly
I'm glad to know that NY state is in such great shape the senators can spend time on trivial B.S. such as this.
What happened to freedom of expression?
I'm not a fan of saggy pants but this is not an issue for the government.
If I were a 15 year-old walking home from school and I saw a 20-foot high billboard of some culturally disconnected state senator advising me as to how to wear my pants, I'm pretty sure I would laugh at the absurdity of this and go about my business. He has made himself a laughing stock for high school kids across the country.
Personally, I love when a guy has his pants sagging, women wear tight jeans so you can see their butts and men wear their pants low. Higher pants= lower street cred. Keep thoes booties out guys ;-)
While I agree that the style of sagging pants is unappealing, I believe that the style and what we do about it can be viewed from a different perspective. The normal process of development for young people in our society often involves rebellious acts and styles that are not acceptable to adults. I believe that "sagging pants" falls under this category of youthful behavior. Why should we put extraordinary efforts into a campaign that is primarily negative in its delivery? While the message is well-intentioned, I believe the results will be far from positive. It will serve to further polarize our young people from their families and communities at a time when they are already polarized from the larger society because of racism. It will probably gaurantee that more young people will adopt the style! Are we naive enough to believe that all young people have to do is be told to pull up their pants and all their problems will disappear? They will miraculously get better educations, more job opportunities, affordable housing, better healthcare, more respect? I think not. We adults already know what is needed and many are already doing it. Our energies should remain focused on fighting against the true enemies of our people, not our youth. Perhaps then, our youth will pull up their pants willingly, without being publicly scolded and reprimanded.
Good article. Good and fun reading. I just have one thing to make about funny shirts.
