Irregulars are diverse, but in three broad cohorts. They skew to women, minorities, the young and lowest-skilled..
What are the demographics?
Irregularity seems to disproportionately impact people already struggling in labor markets:
45% of gig workers need control over their schedule, only 25% are gigging because there's no job. That suggests a high proportion of women working around family commitments. How to meaningfully segment this pool of workers? We use the reason they are working uncertain hours (rather than being unemployed or in a traditional job):
COHORT 1: Core Irregulars
If you have care-giving commitments, complex parenting needs, a fluctuating medical condition or a need to earn around changeable learning commitments you may struggle to commit to regular work hours. Each morning you could be asking: "Could I work today? I won't know until lunchtime".
Availability might depend on personal issues such as; friends' willingness to babysit, PTSD that comes and goes, whether elderly parents will be well enough for the day center or if a course module was finished. Tutors, consultants, accountants and other professionals can often fit work around these haphazard obligations. But working from home is not possible for those qualified for shop, warehouse or hospitality tasks.
Through no fault of their own, these people are often marginalised by services focused on job-creation. But so many of them badly want meaningful work at times they can be available..
COHORT 2: Forced Irregulars
Ten years ago lower-level employees in stores, hotels, warehouses, restaurants, contact centers and other locations typically had predictable hours. Now they are more likely to be scheduled exactly in line with their employer's hour-by-hour needs. If not called in today, they likely need top-up hours elsewhere. But they have to keep themselves available tomorrow in case the primary employer needs them. If they don't, shifts could dry up.
Someone who shows in the statistics as having a job may, in reality, just be doing gig work in a monopsony; a market with only one buyer. They then fill-in other bits of work around that. Even someone with 40+ hours a week may need side-hustles to maintain living standards.
Likewise; a job-seeker may be be scraping together odd hours of work around their interviews and applications. Across the labor market, irregular employment is plugging income gaps as wage growth slows..
COHORT 3: Voluntary Irregulars
It's easy to assume ad hoc work will inevitably be destabilizing, belittling and devoid of career progression. But it's a deliberately dismal view. At it's best, working on your own terms for a portfolio of organizations or individuals can deliver networks, opportunities and a skills mix unthinkable for those who hitch themselves to one institution. Some people prefer it.
A 2007 independent survey for British government took a weighted sample of 1,000 Londoners who could do irregular blue-collar work. In face-to-face interviews they were introduced to a world where they set their daily hours and terms on which they would work. Then they were booked for all sorts of work.
The need for reliability was explained. This is the key attribute of an unskilled or semi-skilled irregular worker: do they do what they say they will?
Traditional thinking says this group would want the security, predictability and possibilities for promotion of being an employee for a very flexible organization. For 68% that wasn't the case. This research suggests a sizeable section of any mass labor market want the opportunity to manage their work their way. They will accept the need to perform responsibly in return.
Some experience of non-standard work could be key to employability in competitive labor markets.
Politicians are under justified pressure to stop employers' using workers as an on-call resource. But there are people who believe they can improve life chances by doing their own thing outside a traditional employee relationship.

NY Stock Exchange on a tumble. Is this it?
(above: Is the U.S. economy as phony as the Las Vegas Casino New York New York?)
by Juan Wilson on 6 June 2007
In recent weeks commentators like James Kunstler (www.kunstler.com) have been talking about an economic "Melt-Up" preceding a Melt-Down". We may be in the micro-wave now. The US stock markets had been on the rise for months reaching recent record highs for the DOW and the NASDAQ. This in the face of ever rising crude oil costs ($65/barrel today) and US consumer debt. That rise may be over.
Today is a Tuesday, 6 June 2007 and just about two hours before the New York Stock Exchange closes. The DOW is down about 120 points. Yesterday the DOW went down about 100. Could this be the slide that has been anticipated by the Bears on Wall Street? They are worried about interest rates going up and inflation: two elements that can sink any stock market exuberance.
Certainly, there is much to worry about in the US economy. The dollar is passing out of favor as the currency of the world, largely because of our debt. For example, last month Kuwait removed its currency peg to the US dollar, throwing plans for a Gulf Currency Union by 2010 into doubt and raising the prospect that other oil-producing states might abandon long-held dollar pegs.
Japan and China hold keys to our economic fate as well. In a global economy, the interest rates of Japan can out trump the US Federal Reserve rate, no matter how stubborn its Chairman in support of keeping rates low. And China has played role to date part by artificially keeping the Yuan low relative to the dollar. This keeps us buying their products and fueling the world's liquidity with our debt. That arrangement is showing signs of fraying at the edges.
How long can we expect the rest of the world to carry the financing our personal consumption? Besides, can we even carry on? the US consumer it pretty well tapped out.
Yes, it's true, the "Core Inflation" numbers are low. And core Inflation is thought to be an indicator of underlying long-term inflation. If it is low, conventional wisdom tells us our economy is healthy.
However, core inflation is calculated by taking the Consumer Price Index and excluding certain "volatile" items from the list. So "Core Inflation" includes housing and auto prices, that are seemingly non-volatile. But, core inflation excludes food and fuel.
As is obvious, the U.S. housing and auto markets are on a long downturn. Making them the basis of measuring inflation gives a false sense of "healthy" economic numbers, especially since the home equity loans have been the support of the American consumer.
The need for fuel and food won't go away. Their rising price is a central problem that is not likely to get better. In fact, the long view is that the availability of these necessities will only get more precious. Their prices and will drag the economy down for the foreseeable future.
Food and fuel producers are now fighting for the same resource. For example, the need for corn to create ethanol from corn has driven the cost of tortillas up 50% in Mexico.
Estimating the health of our future economy may be better done keeping track of "Surface Inflation", the cost and availability of our civilization's energy.
So, is this it? Have we hit the wall? We will know in the next weeks.

Singing the Vegetable Opera
First drop on the Superman rollercoaster at Six Flags New England, in Springfield, MA
by James Kunstler on 5 March 2007 in www.kunstler.com
The jive-finance economy had a few acidic burps last week -- or, at least, that's how it may seem in the days ahead as the equity markets finally upchuck the toxic notional junk "money" they have been gorging on in recent years. Has there ever been a financial collapse with brighter or louder warning signals?
I suppose the expectation (or hope) is that the quasi-mythical "plunge protection team" -- a "working group" of federal reserve officials and bankers -- will jump in and administer some soothing pepto-bismol, but frankly I don't see how that's possible this time. The poison at the bottom is a fetid mass of "non-performing" mortgages, billions upon billions of loans that strapped borrowers are not paying back, loans which, in the meantime, have been rolled over, rebundled into jive "securities" (ha!) and sold, and rolled over again and used as "leverage" for massive exotic bets and bloated arbitrages involving mere abstract figments of electronic digital pulses completely removed from any reality-based productive investment activity.
Among the leaders at the supply end of this racket has been General Motors -- that's right, the company that used to manufacture cars, the company about which one plutocrat once remarked what was good for [it] was good for the country. In fact, General Motors' main source of earnings for a long time now has been money-lending, not car-making (which only loses money). They started decades ago with GMAC, their own car-loan operation -- which makes sense if you are serious about selling cars -- but in the 1990s, with foreigners way out-selling GM's shitty cars, the company's financial wizards decided to venture into home loans and thus Ditech was born.
That's right, Ditech, the outfit that advertised incessantly on TV, promising that house-buyers could sleepwalk their way into mortgage approvals -- and thus frustrate all the smarmy, over-fed, punctilious bankers who obstructed such requests with pain-in-the-ass qualifying protocols and burdensome paperwork. Last week GM put off filing regular required financial reports because of disarray in its Ditech operation. Ditech is responsible for as much as $80 billion in mostly sub-prime house loans -- i.e. given to people with dubious prospects for repayment. But GM's Ditech is but one of scores of entities now choking on non-performing paper (and many of Ditech's rivals are now bankruptcy road kill).
What makes matters far worse is that all this wildly reckless lending has been in the service of a suburban sprawl-building juggernaut that will itself represent another layer of grotesque liability for the United States.The crash of the house-selling bubble, based on absurd asset inflation for things built badly in the wrong places, is coinciding exactly with a permanent oil crisis that will only exacerbate the locational disadvantages of houses built in the newest and furthest suburbs.
Evidence now conclusively shows that Saudi Arabia's oil production was down 8 percent in 2006 over 2005, even while the number of oil rigs went up substantially -- indicating that the Kingdom is drilling as fast as it can and still losing ground. (Production slipped from 9.9 million-barrels-a-day to about 8.4 mm/b/d.) Mexico's Cantarell field is crashing (minimum 15 percent annual decline and possibly much steeper rate, meaning in a year or two the US will cease getting oil imports from its number two foreign supplier). The North Sea is crashing, too. Russia is about show steep decline. Iran is past peak. Iraq, as every six-year-old knows, is the world's clusterfuck poster child. Indonesia (OPEC member) is now a net oil importer. Venezuela is past peak and full of loathing for the US. Nigeria is collapsing politically. No amount of corn is going save the Happy Motoring utopia, and that's really all our economy is now based on.
When the financial markets factor all this in -- and they really haven't yet -- I think we'll see a lot more of what they like to call "downside action." These things are all connected. The housing bubble was set into motion by $10-a-barrel oil at the turn of the millennium. Perhaps as much as half the jobs created since then have been in house-building, house-selling, house-buyership-enabling, house furnishing, and other things house-related. The whole final suburban blow-out enterprise has been a fantastic blunder. Now it's unraveling and the only "performing" loans will be the ones paid to the accounts receivable department in hell.
It ought to be an interesting week in the markets.

Island Breath: Street Bets Against Homeowners 4/19/2006

The Second Great Depression
by Mike Whitney on 22 February 2007 in www.atlanticfreepress.com
"The US economy is in danger of a recession that will prove unusually long and severe. By any measure it is in far worse shape than in 2001-02 and the unraveling of the housing bubble is clearly at hand. It seems that the continuous buoyancy of the financial markets is again deluding many people about the gravity of the economic situation." - Dr. Kurt Richebacher
This week's data on the sagging real estate market leaves no doubt that the housing bubble is quickly crashing to earth and that hard times are on the way. "The slump in home prices from the end of 2005 to the end of 2006 was the biggest year over year drop since the National Association of Realtors started keeping track in 1982." (New York Times) The Commerce Dept announced that the construction of new homes fell in January by a whopping 14.3%. Prices fell in half of the nation's major markets and "existing home sales declined in 40 states". Arizona, Florida, California, and Virginia have seen precipitous drops in sales. The Commerce Department also reported that "the number of vacant homes increased by 34% in 2006 to 2.1 million at the end of the year, nearly double the long-term vacancy rate." (Marketwatch)
The bottom line is that inventories are up, sales are down, profits are eroding, and the building industry is facing a steady downturn well into the foreseeable future.
The ripple effects of the housing crash will be felt throughout the overall economy; shrinking GDP, slowing consumer spending and putting more workers in the growing unemployment lines.
Congress is now looking into the shabby lending practices that shoehorned millions of people into homes that they clearly cannot afford. But their efforts will have no affect on the loans that are already in place. $1 trillion in ARMs (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) are due to reset in 2007 which guarantees that millions of over-leveraged homeowners will default on their mortgages putting pressure on the banks and sending the economy into a tailspin. We are at the beginning of a major shake-up and there's going to be a lot more blood on the tracks before things settle down.
The banks and mortgage lenders are scrambling for creative ways to keep people in their homes but the subprime market is already teetering and foreclosures are on the rise.
There's no doubt now, that Fed chairman Alan Greenspan's plan to pump zillions of dollars into the system via "low interest rates" has created the biggest monster-bubble of all time and set the stage for a deep economic retrenchment.
Greenspan's inflationary policies were designed to expand the "wealth gap" and create greater economic polarization between the classes. By the time the housing bubble deflates, millions of working class Americans will be left to pay off loans that are considerably higher than the current value of their home. This will inevitably create deeper societal divisions and, very likely, a permanent underclass of mortgage-slaves.
A shrewd economist and student of history like Greenspan knew exactly what the consequences of his low interest rates would be. The trap was set to lure in unsuspecting borrowers who felt they could augment their stagnant wages by joining the housing gold rush. It was a great way to mask a deteriorating economy by expanding personal debt.
The meltdown in housing will soon be felt in the stock market which appears to be lagging the real estate market by about 6 months. Soon, reality will set in on Wall Street just as it has in the housing sector and the "loose money" that Greenspan generated with his mighty printing press will flee to foreign shores.
It looks as though this may already be happening even though the stock market is still flying high. On Friday, the government reported that net capital inflows reversed from the requisite $70 billion to AN OUTFLOW OF $11 BILLION!
The current account deficit (which includes the trade deficit) is running at roughly $800 billion per year, which means that the US must attract about $70 billion per month of foreign investment (US Treasuries or securities) to compensate for America's extravagant spending. When foreign investment falters, as it did in December, it puts downward pressure on the greenback to make up for the imbalance. Everbank's Chuck Butler put it like this:
"Not only did the buying stop in December by foreigners in December, but the outflows were huge! Domestic investors increased their buying of long-term overseas securities from $37 billion to a record $46 billion. This is a classic illustration of 'lack of funding'. So, the question I asked the desk was… 'Why isn't the euro skyrocketing?'"
Why, indeed? Why would central banks hold onto their flaccid greenbacks when the foundation which keeps it propped up has been removed?
The answer is complex but, in essence, the rest of the world has loaned the US a pair of crutches to bolster the wobbly dollar while they prepare for the eventual meltdown. China and Japan are currently hold over $1.7 trillion in US currency and US-based assets and can hardly afford to have the ground cut out from below the dollar.
There are, however, limits to the "generosity of strangers" and foreign banks will undoubtedly be pressed to take more extreme measures as it becomes apparent that Team Bush plans to produce as much red ink as humanly possible.
December's figures indicate that foreign investment is drying up and the world is no longer eager to purchase America's lavish debt. The only thing the Federal Reserve can do is raise interest rates to attract foreign capital or let the dollar fall in value. The problem, of course, is that if the Fed raises rates, the real estate market will collapse even faster which will strangle consumer spending and shrivel GDP. In other words, we are at the brink of two separate but related crises; an economic crisis and a currency crisis. That means that the unsuspecting American people are likely to be ground between the two mill-wheels of hyperinflation and shrinking growth.
In real terms, the economy is already in recession. The growth numbers are regularly massaged by the Commerce Department to put a smiley face on an underperforming economy. Industrial output continues to flag (In January it was down by another .5%) while millions good paying factory jobs are being air-mailed to China where labor is a mere fraction of the cost in the USA. Also, automobile inventories are up while factory production is in freefall.
In addition, new jobless claims soared to 357,000 in the week ending February 10. 44,000 more desperate workers have been given their pink slips so they can join the huddled masses in Bush's Weimar Dystopia.
December's net capital inflows are a grim snapshot of the looming disaster ahead. As the housing bubble loses steam, maxxed-out American consumers will face increasing job losses and mounting debt. At the same time, foreign investment will move to more promising markets in Asia and Europe causing a steep rise in interest rates. This is bound to be a stunning blow to the banks which are low on reserves ($44 billion) but have generated $4.5 trillion in shaky mortgage debt in the last 6 years.
It's all bad news. The global liquidity bubble is limping towards the reef and when it hits it'll send shock-waves through the global economic system.
Is it any wonder why the foreign central banks are so skittish about dumping the dollar? No one really relishes the idea of a quick slide into a global recession followed by years of agonizing recovery.
Maybe that's why Secretary of Treasury Hank Paulson has reassembled the Plunge Protection Team and installed a hotline to his Chinese counterpart so he can quickly respond to sudden gyrations in the stock market or a freefalling greenback; two of the calamities he could be facing in the very near future.
Greenspan has successfully piloted the nation into virtual insolvency. In fact, the parallels between our present situation and the period preceding the Great Depression are striking. Just as massive debt was accumulating in the market from the purchase of stocks "on margin", so too, mortgage debt between 2000 and 2006 soared from $4.8 trillion to $9.5 trillion. In both cases the "wealth effect" spawned a spending spree which looked like growth but was really the steady, insidious expansion of debt which generated economic activity. In both periods wages were either flat or declining and the gap between rich and working class was growing more extreme by the year. As Paul Alexander Gusmorino said in his article, "Main Causes of the Great Depression":
"Many factors played a role in bringing about the depression; however, the main cause for the Great Depression was the combination of the greatly unequal distribution of wealth throughout the 1920's, and the extensive stock market speculation that took place during the latter part that same decade".
The same factors are at work today except that the speculation is in real estate rather than stocks. Just as in the 1920's the equity bubble was not created by wages keeping pace with productivity (the healthy formula for growth) but by the expansion of personal debt. Also, one could buy stocks without the money to purchase them, just as one can buy a $600,000 or $700,000 house today with zero-down and no monthly payment on the principle for years to come. The current account deficit ($800 billion) could also weigh heavily in any economic shake-up that may be forthcoming. Bob Chapman of The International Forecaster made this shocking calculation about America's out-of-control trade deficit:
"US debt was up 10.1% to $4.085 trillion and accounts for 58.8% of all the credit issued globally last year. That means the US expanded credit at a much faster rate than the economy grew. This was borrowing to maintain a higher standard of living and attempt to pay for it tomorrow."
Think about that; the US sucked up nearly 60% of ALL GLOBAL CREDIT in one year alone. That is truly astonishing.
There are many similarities between the pre-Depression era and our own. Paul Alexander Gusmorino says:
"The Great Depression was the worst economic slump ever in U.S. history, and one which spread to virtually all of the industrialized world. The depression began in late 1929 and lasted for about a decade....The excessive speculation in the late 1920's kept the stock market artificially high, but eventually lead to large market crashes. These market crashes, combined with the misdistribution of wealth, caused the American economy to capsize.
(The income disparity) between the rich and the middle class grew throughout the 1920's. While the disposable income per capita rose 9% from 1920 to 1929, those with income within the top 1% enjoyed a stupendous 75% increase in per capita disposable income…A major reason for this large and growing gap between the rich and the working-class people was the increased manufacturing output throughout this period. From 1923-1929 the average output per worker increased 32% in manufacturing. During that same period of time average wages for manufacturing jobs increased only 8% (This ultimately causes a decrease in demand and leads to growth in credit spending).
The federal government also contributed to the growing gap between the rich and middle-class. Calvin Coolidge's (pro business) administration passed the Revenue Act of 1926, which reduced federal income and inheritance taxes dramatically…(At the same time) the Supreme Court ruled minimum-wage legislation unconstitutional.
The bottom three quarters of the population had an aggregate income of less than 45% of the combined national income; while the top 25% of the population took in more than 55% of the national income...Between 1925 and 1929 the total credit more than doubled from $1.38 billion to around $3 billion". (Just like now, the growing wage gap has spawned massive speculative bubbles as well as a steady up-tick in credit spending. Wage stagnation forces workers to seek other opportunities for getting ahead. When wages fail to keep pace with productivity then demand naturally decreases and business begins to flag. The only way to spur more buying is by easing interest rates or expanding personal credit, and that is when equity bubbles begin to appear. That's what happened to the stock market before 1929 as well as to the real estate market in 2007. The availability of credit has kept the housing market afloat but, ultimately, the resultwill be the same.
On Monday October 21, 1929, the over-valued stock market began its downward plunge. It managed a brief mid-week comeback, but 7 days later on Black Tuesday it plummeted again; 16 million shares were dumped and there were no buyers.
The game was over.
Confidence evaporated overnight. People stopped buying on credit, the bubble-economy collapsed, and the mighty locomotive for growth, the American consumer, hobbled into the Great Depression. Tariffs were thrown up, foreigners stopped buying American goods; banks closed, business went bust, and unemployment skyrocketed. Tens years later the country was still reeling from the implosion.
Now, 77 years later, Greenspan has led us sheep-like to the same precipice. The economic dilemma we're facing could have been avoided if the expansion of personal credit had been curtailed by prudent monetary policy at the Federal Reserve and if wealth was more evenly distributed as it was in the '60s and '70s. But that's not the case; so we're headed for hard times.

Owning a car is not the end of the desire of a car enthusiast. The ability to maintain the car in good condition and make full use of all the fittings and accessories for a safe and comfortable drive is what the experience more enjoyable. However, the inability to find the right product and the best brands always come in the way of choice. And the problem is further compounded by the large number of options that are available online. Here is how you can beat the confusion and get the best products.
Reputed And Reliable Site Hosting Reviews Of Products
The best option is to check out reviews or products from a reputed and reliable site. The information on a reputed site will contain all specifications about various products, useful comparison metrics, actual performance, verified user reviews and a lot of useful information that will give complete facts about the product. You can use the reviews and the ratings of the products on the site to make your final choice of the product that you wish to purchase.
Useful Tips About Selecting The Right Product
On Car Care Portal you will receive useful tips about selecting the right products for your car. For instance, you need to be aware of certain specifications and limitations of the vehicle and the product when you make your choice of product. For instance, if you are looking at jumper cables, you need to choose the most suitable one on the basis of length of cable, type of batteries (top or side post), quality of clamps etc. This will arm you with the right information to choose the most suitable product.
Actual Performance And User Reviews
The claims of manufacturers will typically be more than the capability of the products. Most of the manufacturers play it safe by labeling the performance as 'under test/standard conditions'. This makes it necessary for a user to know about the performance in different conditions. On the featured site you will receive actual performance metrics in different conditions and the user reviews will also help to understand more about the products. Specific complaints about quality or materials or performance will give insights into the functioning of the product. Repeat complaints about a certain fault will indicate that it is an error that has not been rectified by the manufacturer. If the particular fault is likely to affect performance, the user can look at another product.
Warranty And Durability
The warranty and durability of products are of great importance. While some products have a short life and are expected to be replaced frequently, most of the products related to automobile accessories have a slightly longer life. This makes it necessary for the user to choose a brand that comes with the assurance of greater durability and extended warranty. This will ensure that the purchase is cost effective and does not cause repeat purchases. The featured site offers all details about the expected durability of products and the warranty period. This will give a good indication of the expected repeat purchase date at the end of the life cycle of the product.
Useful DIY Resource
Individuals who like to do a few things by themselves will find the resources greatly useful. Ideal for those who love to do things themselves, the reviews about products, the tips for selecting the products and the information about how to use the products will be of great help. You can easily become an expert by simply reading and understanding he nitty gritty of various products and their specifications. By learning how to choose the best ones, you will actually learn a thing or two about the operation of the product. This will give you greater confidence in using the product without the help of professionals.
The site offers comprehensive reviews and suggestion about products and leaves it to the discretion of the visitors to make an informed decision. Wherever professional assistance has been marked as necessary for the installation or maintenance, it is absolutely necessary for users to not take chances and rely on experienced professionals to carry out the maintenance or installation.

...bigger....(Thanks, Caroline, for sending it to me.)
These are two of the most wonderful people in the whole wide world.
The first thing they wanted to do as a married couple was have communion...which they had just finished doing in that picture.
Is that not the most wonderful thing?
On a completely different note, Monday night Bailey, Will, and I went to little Caroline's first dance recital!
Here are some pics (some of which I got from Elizabeth's blog)...
Little Caroline has had quite the time lately... a flower girl and then the star of the dance recital!!
On another completely different note, from Sunday till Tuesday morning we had the privilege of having these precious folks stay with us....From left, David, Teri, and Nathaniel. Unfortunately their dad had to stay home in Wisconsin. (Yes, these three came the farthest distance for the wedding!)
David is quite the artist. He's even won awards for drawing. You can see why, with these pictures of transformers that he drew ...He drew those all by himself... and he's not even 7 yet!
Oh, and Teri cooked supper for us Sunday night. YUM.
AND she baked a rhubarb pie with rhubarb her parents brought down from Iowa. (They came the second farthest distance.)
Well, I think life is slowing down now.
Well, until July... when I head down to Mission, Texas (home of Tom Landry) where I'll see my friends that I haven't seen in four decades!
Go Eagles!!!

I have only two issues with this place - high prices and the bread was not fresh. I would expect a really freshly baked famous French baguette at a restaurant of such a level. Otherwise a nice place to spend a quiet evening.
Great experience in the restaurant. Great service and quiet environment. I had the three course lunch menu and the appetizer was great and the fish in the main course was okay but the dessert was terrific! Seat was comfortable! I'll definitely come back soon!
el mejor omelet que he probado...
Always a fantastic time. Best Lunch in New York City.
Our food was excellent. We chose to eat 'alla carte'. One of us had the char and the other the "duck confit". The dessert were very good too.
We absolutely love the prix fixe lunch menu! There were four of us and we sampled several choices and they were all fabulous. The wine pairing was also excellent. The service was perfect and it was quiet enough for a relaxed lovely lunch. Highly recommended.
Fabulous food. Fine dining. Beautiful setting.
Wonderful experience.
Exquisite, finest taste from start to finish, got happily surprised with the unexpected warm pastry : an memorable experience to share and renew "succulent"
A civilized and elegant spot for lunch. The food is delicious and while the service is good, it is not "stuffy".
Wonderful anniversary dessert!
It was exquisite. My husband loved the pork schnitzel. The warm madelines were out of Proust. A wonderful dining experiemce
Consistently wonderful dishes and superior service.
Very good classical French food and very good service. Casual but elegant. Menu always has a full section for Vegetarians so that it is an ideal upscale place to take guests to if some are vegetarians.
Everything is great
Brunch menu is very limited
This is my second visit to Cafe Boulud in the last ten years. Dishes were fantastically made so I will definitely have to come back more often in the future.
Overall a wonderful dining experience! Service was great. I have a food allergy and they were very attentive and accommodating to my needs. Selection and quality of the food was wonderful! Highly recommend this restaurant!
Price fix weekend brunch for 52 dollars is wonderful. 3 course, which you can mix and match, with great choices. Staff are right on it making for a fab experience. Extensive wine list.
Saturday breakfast. Bit dated food but still high standards. The regulars are noisy and get most of the staff attention.
Food cooked to perfection. Romantic atmosphere. Impeccable service.
Fantastic service and food. We can't stop talking about the experience! Especially the desert!
Good place with a fine price.
Great food but the service was slow and course timing was way off. Some wait staff was rude and pushy. For a $700 tab, we expected better all around.
Simply marvelous.... even on an impossible holiday live Valentines Day
Great spot
Outdated ambiance, over priced, and people love to stare at each other. It's definitely a more older crowded that has nothing better to do than talk about everyone else there.
Yes, if my friend was wealthy and not too fussy. It should have been more special for Valentine's Day.
We arrived on Valentines Day for a 5pm reservation at 4:55. It seemed as if the pre-shift meeting was still going on because one of the captains recommended we wait in the hotel lobby until they were ready to seat us. This would not matter usually, staff meetings sometimes run over (especially with it being a holiday and all), but the lobby was SO cold it made the 15 minute wait seem like it was an hour.
We were then led to the first row of tables right by the entrance and given menus, and linens were still being ironed. The waitress (while very sweet and professional) took a little to get to our table, so the busboy took our drink orders. It is important to note that I explained my dining partners food aversions when I made the reservation, but the waitress seemingly needed to confirm that they were allergies (they were not) and that the menu would be presented as is, since they were simply just dislikes. *She doesnt eat raw fish or truffles, two pretty important items on this Valentines Day menu....ESPECIALLY for the amuse bouches.
On first glance, it seemed as if they were understaffed to start the service and only working with a skeleton crew. As the night progressed, more front of house members showed and service smoothed out. The thick curtain to keep the wind from the lobby was never fully closed, so I never took off my jacket.
Overall, we had a wonderful meal together, and the food was delicious. I am only writing because I would be doing myself a disservice to note that for $195 a person, I would not want these things to be overlooked at a 5 star establishment price point for a 3-4 star experience.

THE coordinator of Lagos State Domestic and Sexual Violence Response Team (DSVRT), Mrs. Titilola Vivour-Adeniyi, has urged residents to desist from pressurizing rape victims to settle out of court.
Victims, she said, should rather be encouraged to speak out in order to stem the tide of rape cases in the country.
Speaking on the recent pressure being mounted on the mother of a 10-year-old girl, who was allegedly defiled by her neighbour, Mr Segun Mayowa Adeyemi, to settle out of court, Mrs. Vivour-Adeniyi said the case epitomized the undue external pressures faced by victims and their relatives to have rape matters settled out of court.
Describing rape as a crime against the state, which matter the Attorney-General has the sole power to discontinue, she said several people, namely: the landlord, siblings of the defendant, a lady who says she lives on Bourdillon and even the lawyer had called to beg that the matter be settled out of court.
"Even the landlord had threatened to evict the mother of the victim from the house if she refused to drop the case."
"But they have all been informed that these are issues that the state government is interested in and the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) had already requested for the duplicate case file to be forwarded to the office," she added.
The Mirabel Centre, a sexual assault referral centre set up by an NGO, Partnership for Justice, was contacted when the mother discovered upon inspecting her daughter's private part that there was semen there.
"Immediately her daughter told her what happened, she called the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and informed them. They came 30 minutes after and then invited the suspect to Alapere police station for questioning. At the station, the victim was referred to the Mirabel centre for medical attention.
"The victim's mother subsequently informed DVSRT that her landlord had verbally threatened her that if she didn't drop the case, he would evict her from the house."
"In order to assuage her fears, she was referred to the Citizens' Mediation Centre where her complaint was made."
"The IPO of the case was contacted and status update about the case was gotten. The medical evidence of the victim corroborated the oral testimony of the victim."
"Oworonshoki Police Station charged the alleged rapist to court and the matter came up at Magistrate Court 7, On Monday, August, 24, 2015 and was adjourned to October 12, 2015."
"It was also discovered that the lawyer representing the defendant was urging the victim to settle out of court, that the family was ready to pay for all expenses she had incurred," Vivour-Adeniyi added.

Fall 2019
Mr. Hulburd
Welcome Back!
Hi! I'm Mr. Hulburd and I'm the new art teacher. I'm THRILLED to have the opportunity to teach your children. My goal is to continue the artistic groundwork set forth by Mrs. Dykes in her many years here. I'm excited to share my passion for art with your students and to establish a fun, enjoyable, and creative art experience for all of them.
Students will be working on projects while following the guidelines of the Worcester County art curriculum, which is aligned with state and national visual art standards. During the year, they will experience various techniques, media, cultures, and art history. They will actually meet some current artists who will visit their classroom.
It is always important to me that there is room for individuality and self-expression in every project. Most projects are concluded with a critique, in which students have an opportunity to show their works and view each other's. This helps them learn the language of art, as well as positive critical thinking skills.
What We've Learned
Since I'm new this year, I cannot show art created by my students as yet, but I assure you that I will be able to soon. For now, the best I can do is show you some art created by OCES students last year with Mrs. Dykes. Here are some examples of lessons done previously. Each grade created an abstract picture to learn about a different art principle. Kindergarten students learned about contrast, (and coloring skills), as they created Piet Mondrian-style pictures in primary colors. First grade students learned about rhythm and optical illusions inspired by the art of Bridget Riley. In second grade, the students learned the difference between linear and two-dimensional patterns creating repeating complex shapes with colored markers. Third graders learned the focal points "stand out" in a picture to create emphasis, and created oil pastel compositions with their own focal points. In fourth grade, students learned that artists rarely use symmetry in their art, but do make use of balance. They enjoyed creating abstract asymmetrically-balanced watercolor paintings.
I'm so excited to teach and share my love for art with the wonderful OCES students. Can't wait to begin.

It is with regret that we have to inform you that the BookPals product is being decommissioned.
Simply because we have not been able to attract enough customers to BookPals for it to remain financially viable.
For almost 10 years now we have tried everything in our power to explain to small business owners how much easier bookkeeping is when you use BookPals, but it would seem that the majority of small business owners are happy with whatever they are currently using so we have no option but to "call it a day" at BookPals.
Thank you for spending time with us here at BookPals – we have made some wonderful friends over the BookPals journey and have had the opportunity to chat with some of the best business brains in the world via the BookPals Business Sanity Podcast.
We wish you all the very best in your future ventures.

Vetadryl is an antihistamine recommended by veterinarians to treat a range of issues including allergies, motion sickness, travel anxiety – even insect bites that cause itching and pain. The active ingredient in Vetadryl is diphenhydramine. This chemical blocks the histamines that cause allergic reactions such as itching, watery eyes, runny noses and swelling. One side effect of the histamine blocking process is sleepiness, which is why this medication also works to calm pets and reduce motion sickness.

What are VETORYL Capsules? VETORYL Capsules contain an adrenosuppressant drug that is used to treat hyperadrenocorticism in dogs. VETORYL Capsules are a prescription drug for dogs.
Hyperadrenocorticism (also known as Cushing's disease) is a condition in which excess levels of the hormone cortisol are produced. Cortisol is normally released from the adrenal gland into the bloodstream at times of stress. In dogs with hyperadrenocorticism, the level of cortisol produced is excessive and, if left untreated, becomes incapacitating.
Your dog may not necessarily display all of these signs.
What should I talk to my veterinarian about before giving VETORYL Capsules?
What are the possible side effects that may occur in my dog during therapy? VETORYL Capsules, like other drugs, may cause some side effects. Serious side effects have been reported in dogs taking VETORYL Capsules. Serious side effects can occur with or without warning and result in death.
Side effects generally involve an over suppression of the adrenal glands (hypoadrenocorticism, also known as Addison's Disease). Look for the following side effects that may indicate your dog is having a problem with VETORYL Capsules or may have another medical problem:
It is important to stop therapy and contact your veterinarian immediately if you think your dog has a medical problem or side effect from VETORYL Capsule therapy. If you have additional questions about possible side effects, talk to your veterinarian.
As VETORYL Capsules control the hyperadrenocorticism, there should be a decrease in food and water consumption to normal levels. There should also be resolution of excess urination. If, however, there is a dramatic decrease in appetite or your dog stops drinking water, it could be an indication of a side effect requiring treatment.
What kind of results can I expect when my dog is on VETORYL Capsules? Although VETORYL Capsules ARE NOT A CURE for hyperadrenocorticism, the product can control the clinical signs:
Which dogs should not take VETORYL Capsules? Your dog should not be given VETORYL Capsules if he/she:
Tell your veterinarian about all medicines you have given your dog in the past, and any medicines that you are planning to give with VETORYL Capsules. This should include other medicines that you can get without a prescription. Your veterinarian may want to check that all of your dog's medicines can be given together.
What should I know about giving VETORYL Capsules to my dog?
What do I do in case my dog takes more than the prescribed amount of VETORYL Capsules? Contact your veterinarian immediately if your dog takes more than the prescribed amount of VETORYL Capsules.

Asos is asking suppliers for a 3% discount on all invoices for stock received from 1 September onwards, to continue to "fuel joint growth" at the business.
In a letter to suppliers, seen by Drapers, the etailer highlighted recent "transformational investments" made by Asos including the launch and expansion of two new warehouses in the US and Germany and greater investment in sustainability, customer acquisition and customer retention.
Asos has asked suppliers for a 3% discount to "fuel joint growth" for the etailer and the brands it stocks.
The letter said: "We have recently reviewed the current status of our supplier arrangements, also taking into account the significant investments we have made over the last few years and will continue to make, to lay the foundations for future growth.
"We have set our sights on becoming one of the few companies with truly global scale in the market, and we are confident that we will achieve this. Our future growth aspirations not only benefit us but also benefit you, our valued partner. We hope you will understand this necessary change and on behalf of Asos we would like to thank you for your continued support."
Drapers understands it is the first time Asos has asked suppliers for a blanket discount.
In July Asos warned full-year profit before tax will be lower than expected after sales in Europe and the US were hit by teething troubles from the retailer's overhaul of its warehouses.
Profit before tax is now expected to fall between £30m and £35m, down from expectations of £35m, as a result of £47m in transition costs. It expects retail gross margin to fall by 250 basis points. Capex (capital expenditure) guidance for the full year is unchanged at £200m.
Total sales at Asos were up by 12% on a reported basis and 11% on a constant currency basis in the four months to 30 June. Sales in the UK grew by 16% and the rest of the world by 14%.
Asos declined to comment.

We think this the a dangerous route to go down for a business which relies so heavily on their suppliers to be commercially viable. ASOS is not the only business in the market under pressure as the DR headlines show. We hope they recognise partnership is about trust and strategy which means not changing the goal posts.
'Fuel joint growth' is just corporate speak. If ASOS did value their partners, they would not be asking for and additional 3% which is wholly unnecessary. If they want to have the brands, they should be pay the price - as we all do.
Very very poor, a default borrowed from failing business's. As mentioned nothing to do with fuelling growth just a cheap way to reap back lost forecast profit. Really thought that Asos were better than this with their own clear strategy, clearly not which is worrying for brands/suppliers alike, not to mention that this may tip some over the edge into insolvency given the many knocks that they have suffered in the last 12 months. The common misconception that brands/suppliers can afford is a deeply flawed concept and it is a sad indictment of the industry that one of the stalwarts of E-tail thinks that this is acceptable. In effect they are saying we need some of your money to fuel our growth, don't worry you will benefit, sounds very very familiar, i can hear an echo coming from Debenhams and Arcadia etc etc and we all know what's happening there, not growth but an actual fight survival and brands/suppliers not knowing if they will even get paid, truly demoralising for all concerned and i include buyers in this.
As someone who has worked inside ASOS, in a position quite high up, this is not good news, the 'greater investment in sustainability' is tiny, their internal structures are too ridged and mid level management heavy.
Sadly it's only a matter of time before their investment needs and spending would push them to this and more extreme measures are only a little way off

Teens need to be reminded about Internet dangers too
As children enter their teenage years, they begin to feel they are young adults. And, your ability to influence their decisions is usually reduced.
Now, teenagers can write disappearing emails disarming your ability to review what they're writing and who they are writing to. And, the worst thing you could do is to appear to be overbearing. That may work with small children, but with teens, that type of authoritative approach may cause teens to clam up. This could lead to use of the Internet secretly virtually eliminating your oversight. You have to remember until they turn 18, you are legally responsible for many of their actions and their safety.
If there are teens in your life that you think would benefit from reminders of our safety tips, please scroll down to the bottom of this page to see all the tips Grandma SN has to offer.
- No one wants their teenage girl lured into a nude webcam scheme, where she may agree to pose nude. or their teen son discovering he can buy firearms, and gun accessories on line, that he can't get at the local gun shop because of his age. Which could lead to unauthorized use of your credit cards.
- What is worse is to see your teenager become radicalized by an extremist or terrorist group. Especially, since they use the Internet for recruitment.
Final Thoughts
There is no number of heart to heart talks you could have reminding a teen they need your advice. Many teenagers believe they are young adults and will tune you out. Even worse you have no assurance they would not see things you don't want them to see outside your house.
But you can prevent your home computers from being used for surfing you don't approve. Additionally, you can tell your friends to visit this website. And, participate in our quest to make the Internet safe for people of all ages. You might reduce the number of sources of computers where your teen may be unnecessarily influenced. Together, we can start a movement that to date has been overlooked, protecting our teens on-line. Isn't it ironic as guardians we don't hesitate to challenge schools on the safety of our teens.
Most municipalities have made it more difficult for teenagers to obtain tobacco and alcohol. But it seems we have all forgotten about the Internet, where many teens spend most of their time. Grandma SN has included a list of seven suggestions you should try to communicate to your teenager. Though it may not seem like it, they actually do listen to what you say.
GRANDMA SN's LIST OF INTERNET SAFETY TIPS FOR TEENS
- You should research software designed to filter to what may be viewed on-line by teens at your home. Most browsers like Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer and others offer filtering features. These may be used to block out entire ranges of material that may be objectionable for teens.
- Some websites offer parental controls. If you find your teen is visiting a website with such controls, you should immediately learn to use them. Its important to password protect any feature you may find that limits your teens access to objectionable material. Children will seldom be able to persuade you to surrender a password and most would never try. But, teens may think they can outsmart you to get the password. Even if you are wrong, stick to your guns and refuse to surrender something that will protect your child from encountering junk on-line, and in an extreme case could save his life.
- Teenagers don't stay around home or the immediate community like children do. And teens must be reminded they should not share pictures of themselves, the family or their home address on-line. And, under no circumstance should they arrange to meet with anyone they meet on-line, either at or away from home. The problem of clandestine meetings turning into rape, robbery and even murder has become so big a problem may police departments have begun to have sting operations to catch would be predators. But the police can't do it alone, common sense has to start at home.
- Many teens are already aware of computer viruses but they need to be reminded too, they should never open e-mails from unknown sources, especially those that include attachments. E-mail attachments may contain viruses, malware and other things that can damage the family computer, denying everyone its use. Many teens believe they know more about computers then you will ever know, but it makes them feel good to know you still care.
- Nothing on-line is completely private so teens must be warned to be careful of what they write or share on-line. In addition to a disregard for the previously mentioned warnings, a child could cause a parent to be blindsided by unexpected legal action if your child or another child uses your computers to bully or send threatening communications to someone you may not even know.
- Some teens may have their own debit or credit cards or permission to use your's sometime. They should be constantly reminded to only use those cards at secure websites, and to never use them on public computers like those available at the public library. In order to make the Internet the tremendous learning tool it can be for them keep the lines of communications open. Grandma SN will update this list of safety tips often, so don't for get to come back and help her to do that. We need your suggestions and your opinion on websites worth viewing and those that aren't.
- Be certain your teen is aware of the dangers of lying about his age to get into a social network. Though Face Book spends millions of dollars trying to keep the site clean, and has rules the membership is expected to honor, there is still a great deal of nudity, pornography, romance scams and other things many teens, especially those under 16 years old would not be ready for. The same thing happens on the other social networks as well, so it is not just limited to any one of them.
Final thoughts on Internet safety for teens
After reading Grandma SN's suggestions for teens, won't you please take a moment to review the rest of our website. Additionally we offer seven suggestions for Internet safety for Children, Adults, and Senior Citizens. But the most attractive feature of this website is Grandma SN's list of recommended websites and blogs to visit and her recommended list of websites you may want your kids and teens to avoid. Then email us at email@example.com with you ideas for Internet safety for every member of the family and include your opinion of websites you feel are worth visiting and those that aren't. When we receive at least 75 recommendations of either positive or negative content and images on a website or a blog, it'll be added to one of Grandma SN's lists.

Supplying Ships in the Atlantic
The Port of Las Palmas and its key Government and Industry stakeholders have joined forces with Petrospot to create the inaugural Maritime Week Las Palmas – Supplying Ships in the Atlantic, a major new biennial event designed to showcase and promote this dynamic and fast-developing logistics hub and the wide range of maritime services provided by Las Palmas to ships sailing to and from Africa, Europe and the Americas.
Strategically located off the West Coast of Africa, Las Palmas is the most important port facility and bunkering hub in the Mid-Atlantic but it is also a key centre for ship supplies of all description and a thriving ship repair centre.
Las Palmas is highly regarded for its size, infrastructure and the variety and quality of the services on offer, and as a leading logistics hub it has over 30 maritime lines connected to over 180 ports around the world.
In 2018, there were 10,050 ship stopovers in Las Palmas, with more than 23.3 million tonnes of goods traffic processed, 2.3 million tonnes of bunker fuel delivered, 674,000 cruise passengers and over one million twenty-foot equivalent (TEU) containers handled.
The Port Authority of Las Palmas is a public institution. It is part of the Puertos del Estado - State Ports (Ministry of Development), which manages five ports in the Las Palmas province: Las Palmas, Salinetas and Arinaga on the island of Gran Canaria; Los Mármoles in Arrecife on Lanzarote, and Puerto del Rosario on Fuerteventura.
The Red Cross and Red Crescent and the United Nations World Food Program have storage warehouses in the port, from where they distribute humanitarian aid to the African countries that need it. The location was chosen for its strategic position, availability of excellent services, dense network of sea and air connections and favourable Customs regulations. The Port of Las Palmas, and the Canary Islands as a whole, has a special tax status within the European Union.
Through a high-level conference, training courses, a maritime exhibition, a specialist business-to-business meeting programme, technical site visits and some stunning networking activities, Maritime Week Las Palmas will not only show what this remarkable port has to offer but will also ensure that it is forever pinned firmly onto the global shipping map.
A series of Government and Industry events designed to:
- Address the major issues in the international shipping and maritime industries
- Create a global forum for networking and developing important new trading relationships
- Examine global regulation, including IMO 2020 and C0₂ 2050 initiatives
- Showcase Las Palmas as the Mid-Atlantic's premier maritime and bunkering hub and key source of fuel supply to West Africa
- Demonstrate Las Palmas' expertise in offshore, ship repair and related heavy industries
- Investigate the logistical services the Port offers
- Highlight the automation and digitalisation programme at the Port
- Provide unique access to the maritime infrastructure of Las Palmas
1. MWLPA Conference:

Monday - Basic Bunker Course (Spanish).
3. Maritime services exhibition:

Llewellyn Bankes-Hughes, Managing Director of UK-based Petrospot commented:
'Las Palmas is already well-known as a bunkering centre for ships sailing north from Africa and East from the Americas, and vice-versa, but as a ship supply centre it offers so much more than is generally known. This major new event will highlight the ship building and repair facilities and three dry docks in Las Palmas. It will look at the hugely important West African offshore oil and gas industry and its tank farms which are an important source of oil supply for several West African states. It will showcase Las Palmas' activities in the container transhipment sector, a well as in the cruise and ferry and offshore fishing sectors. The wide range of first class maritime-related activities carried out in Las Palmas, from crew change to the supply of provisions, will be amply demonstrated during Maritime Week Las Palmas.'
Director of the Fundación Puertos de Las Palmas, Sergio Galván Montesdeoca, added:
'This fantastic new event offers a wonderful opportunity for local Las Palmas organisations to engage with the international maritime community, offering them the perfect platform to demonstrate the very best of what Las Palmas has to offer. The business-to-business session meeting platform will be especially useful for companies to meet each other during the event. We are delighted that Petrospot is leading this project and, with the dedication and contribution from all the major stakeholders in the port, Government and Industry alike, we are sure that Maritime Week Las Palmas will be at least as great as the many other international events Petrospot organises.'
