Southeastern: Learning nothing from the snow
Regular readers will recall the trouble caused by Southeastern's shutdown of its rail network during January's cold spell, which brought it complaints from Boris Johnson and a rare and under-reported public lambasting from the boss of Transport for London.
The criticism brought a promise to do better, including the improvement of communication with passengers. One innovation was a Tube-style "good service"/"minor delays" breakdown of the network's lines for its website – so innovative, in fact, that you'd forget its predecessor company South Eastern Trains (not to be confused with the current firm, franchised by the Labour government in 2006) started using that style of information at its London terminals six years ago.
One point raised by London Assembly transport committee chair Caroline Pidgeon when she wrote to Southeastern boss Charles Horton was the lack of information at stations – this site reported the information boards at Charlton station being turned off back in January, with a generic message replacing information about the next train.
Charles Horton's response dismissed these concerns:
So, today at Charlton station, the information screens would be working, wouldn't they?
Of course not. Just at the time when people need information the most, Southeastern's information system had been switched off. Worse than useless.
Indeed, from all accounts, it looks like Southeastern's contingency plans failed miserably this afternoon, with little information provided to frustrated passengers about a disrupted service. Gripes on Twitter in the past couple of hours include…
…and so on. With a knackered and fragmented system, delays and glitches during snow are pretty much unavoidable. Indeed, it was a tragedy at Slade Green which closed the Greenwich line this morning, rather than the snow. But how long can Southeastern go on hiding from its customers like this?
I would have contacted Southeastern for a comment on this, but – you guessed it – the train company told me earlier this year it "doesn't respond to blogs, etc".
Southeastern cancels New Year trains after Boris's cuts
Expecting to get a train home after seeing in 2011 in style? Check carefully since rail operator Southeastern has cancelled most of its services in the early hours of New Year's Day.
Sister company Southern has also dropped most of its overnight services, leaving much of SE London without all-night trains.
For the past few years, Southeastern has, along with other London rail operators, run an all-night service on selected lines to help relieve crowding on night buses. But last year London mayor Boris Johnson cut the £100,000 funding for the all-night trains, which enabled the companies to officially run them for free.
Other London rail firms are managing to provide an all-night service, though. South West Trains is running through the night to Kingston, Wimbledon and Richmond. East and north Londoners will get half-hourly trains from Liverpool Street courtesy of National Express.
The last train on any Southeastern route will leave Charing Cross for Dartford via Greenwich at 1.41am.
Hourly Boxing Day services have also been dropped by Southeastern, and Network Rail engineering work means Charing Cross and Waterloo East stations will be closed on 27 December.
Transport for London has yet to announce full details of its Christmas schedule, which has traditionally seen all-night free Tube and DLR travel over New Year, together with a beefed-up night bus service.
I would have contacted Southeastern for a comment on this, but the train company told me earlier this year it "doesn't respond to blogs, etc".
Kicking off in Catford as Lewisham makes cuts
(video via Hangbitch. More from BBC News, Lewisham Right to Work and Transpontine.)
From The Guardian (at the time of writing – 1am – our supposed local newspaper the News Shopper hadn't bothered to publish tonight, despite the fact this will be featured on national media breakfast shows on Tuesday morning):
Police tonight arrested several people outside Lewisham town hall in south-east London as demonstrators tried to force their way into a meeting where councillors voted to cut the council budget by £60m.
Officers had to call for help from the Metropolitan police's Territorial Support Group as about 100 protesters tried to force their way into the building.
"Police have made a number of arrests for criminal damage and public order offences," the Met said in a statement. "A number of police officers were treated for minor injuries."
A taste of things to come, perhaps, for those of us on the Greenwich side of the borough boundary. The protesters included a large number of Goldsmiths College students, who'll no doubt be delighted to know Woolwich Town Hall is a short ride on the 53 or 177 buses from New Cross.
In all seriousness, I imagine Greenwich Labour's hierarchy will be be looking at the scenes from Catford with a mixture of trepidation and satisfaction. Trepidation, because this scenes like this face every single council in the country as the coalitions cuts slice through their budgets.
But satisfaction, because Greenwich Council has played its hands very close to its chest on the question of cuts, in complete contrast to Lewisham, whose directly-elected mayor Sir Steve Bullock got his axe out almost as soon as he and the Labour council were re-elected in May. The violence seen outside Lewisham Town Hall was the price Sir Steve Bullock paid for that strategy, which included a consultation called "Our Lewisham, Our Say", the kind of cuddly-sounding scheme that's unthinkable this side of the border.
Apart from persistent rumours about libraries becoming "self-service" (or closing the lot and having just one in Woolwich), and a cut in voluntary group funding, concrete evidence of Greenwich's plans is hard to find. Greenwich axed its funding for Blackheath fireworks claiming it was due to cutbacks, but we know this was nonsense – with the council having blown the cash on a mayoral booze-up and Olympics-linked arts projects. It's easy – too easy, really – to criticise Labour leader Chris Roberts' iron rule over the council, but it's saved it from a Bullock-sized ruck as seen in Catford.
There's also a different political scene in Lewisham – run on a mayoral system, it was a hung borough before the last election, the Socialist Party had two councillors before May, a group called Lewisham People Before Profit are a force in local elections in the north of the borough. Greenwich, meanwhile is a rather stale Labour-Tory ding-dong. A group set up by Socialist Party members, Greenwich Save Our Services, is hoping to marshal any opposition to cuts – although their last demo seemed to me to be a just a small group of grumpy lefties. This will no doubt change, though, as Greenwich's cuts become clearer.
Will Greenwich will be able to avoid scenes like Monday night's rows in Catford, or is it storing up more trouble for the future? The answer will be one of several no-doubt unpleasant things we'll find out next year.
Who should run Greenwich Park?
Hats off to Peninsula ward councillor Mary Mills – one of a tiny, tiny minority of Greenwich Labour representatives comfortable with speaking publicly to constituents – for letting us know about a meeting she had about Greenwich Park. One of the many topics she raises could be a big issue in the years to come, since City Hall is eyeing up the Royal Parks…
Cuts were followed by a report on the move to give the Royal Parks to the London Mayor's office which is expected to be part of an imminent Parliamentary Bill. To my mind this is crazy since it will involved the recreation of the old GLC Parks Department at vast public expense – and for what reason??? If they have to give them to anyone, the City of London administers other parks in the Greater London area and has pots and pots of cash.
At the moment, Greenwich Park is run by the Royal Parks Agency, which is run by the government. (Until recently, it even had its own police force.) It seems to do a good job, although the row over the Olympics has created lots of bad feeling. It makes much of its money through parking charges and hiring parks out for events, notably Hyde Park concerts.
There's a precedent for handing these parks over to the mayoralty; Trafalgar Square and Parliament Square were handed over to it in 2000. This has seen great improvements in Trafalgar Square, although plans to pedestrianise Parliament Square were canned by Boris Johnson when he took office. While perhaps London's most important parks should be run on behalf of all Londoners – Blackheath, Burgess Park and Crystal Palace Park were run by the old GLC, for example – this could submit these parks to political turbulence.
Then again, if local people having a say in running Greenwich Park is important, why not give it to Greenwich Council as a present to mark becoming a royal borough in 2012? Greenwich is one of London's greenest boroughs, and already looks after important spaces like Plumstead Common and Oxleas Woods.
Or then there's Mary's suggestion that the City of London takes it on. The City crest may look out of place around Westminster, but we're miles away from there and the corporation's responsibilities already include the lush spaces of Hampstead Heath, Epping Forest and West Wickham Common. It certainly has money – but isn't exactly democratic.
Anyway, what you reckon? I thought I'd try holding a poll to see what 853 readers think.
Greenwich to Charing Cross – a two year stay of execution?
You've probably seen elsewhere that the government has finally agreed to back the Thameslink Programme, to boost north-south rail services through London. The major aspect of this which affects south-east London is that London Bridge, possibly the most miserable, frustrating place on the network, will be redeveloped.
As Brockley Central reminds us, changes are happening there anyway as part of the unmissable construction of the Shard, including a new bus station. But the government's backing now means the mess of platforms 1-6 will finally get sorted out.
Of course, there's a catch… a two year delay in the works, meaning it won't be complete until 2018, or 18 years after it was originally meant to be finished. The work will see huge disruption later this decade, of course. But there's one upside to this – commuters who use the Greenwich line (Westcombe Park, Maze Hill, Greenwich and Deptford), may well hang onto their direct trains to Charing Cross for a bit longer, for under the redevelopment plan, the link between that and the Charing Cross tracks is due to be severed for good.
Olympics will bring CHAOS!, er, Olympics chiefs warn
Thanks to Diamond Geezer for his heads-up about Olympics organisers warning that
we might as well just all bugger off in summer 2012 is going to be a bit sticky, to say the least.
For those of us south of the river, there's special maps for "Canary Wharf" (and Greenwich town centre and Deptford), "Greenwich" (but which is really just east Greenwich), Woolwich (and Charlton), Lewisham (and Brockley) and Blackheath. For all the others, head here.
A lot of this is just common sense – Woolwich Arsenal station will be busy. Greenwich, Cutty Sark and Maze Hill stations will also be busy. So will North Greenwich. There's some sensible things in there, like dates when the stations will be the busiest. But overall, the message is of doom – especially if you live between Greenwich and Woolwich and are thinking of using any sort of rail service. Jubilee Line? Avoid. DLR? Avoid? North Kent line? Essential journeys only.
While I'm fully prepared for things to be a bit sticky at Charlton, it's surely not going to be much beyond what locals are already used to, after 10 years of Dome/O2 usage and fortnightly usage by thousands of football fans. And I'm a bit concerned that Maze Hill, with its rickety footbridge, will have trouble coping. But Westcombe Park – delays of up to an hour? Really?
They're even predicting delays at sleepy Ladywell, south of Lewisham and Crofton Park, at the bottom end of Brockley. I imagine LOCOG is merely sharing its worst "just in case" scenarios – so after the summer is over, we can all breathe a sigh of relief and pat them on the back for their excellent work. But by warning great chunks of London to avoid using public transport altogether, they're adding to the impression that the people of the capital are simply an inconvenience who'll get in the way of the chief executive of Coca-Cola's journeys between
dinners venues – just like they did when they moved the marathon route out of the East End.
After all, aren't we meant to be promoting Greenwich as being open for business as (sort of) usual during the games?
In other Olympics news, the protester who damaged course markers in Greenwich Park is claiming a "moral victory" after the CPS dropped charges against him.
The shambles of the Greenwich Foot Tunnel restoration
I took a trip out on the borrowed bike yesterday afternoon – through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel, up through the Isle of Dogs and up the canal to Hackney. I found riding along the towpath a bit nerve-wracking, but the mutual respect shown by both cyclists and pedestrians there makes it all work nicely. A ride around Victoria Park, a quick break at London Fields, then a speedy trip back along the canal and through the Docklands to the foot tunnel to get home in good time for Charlton's match against Bristol Rovers.
Fat chance of that. At ten past six in the evening, right in the middle of the rush hour, the Greenwich Foot Tunnel had been closed. No explanation, no apology notice – the contractors looked like they'd locked up and buggered off.
In the place of any notice, there was just a constant stream of cyclists pulling up, together with the odd pedestrian, and discovering the bad news for themselves.
It's not the first time I've been caught out by the foot tunnel being closed – I got caught out one afternoon about six weeks ago. From chatting to some of the fuming cyclists being forced to turn around and ride back up the Isle of Dogs, it seems like a regular occurrence.
I can't help thinking no tunnel would be better than a tunnel you can't rely on. The stairs inside the tunnel have been closed for refurbishment for some months, with the lifts – which themselves are due to be replaced – providing the only means of access. So if one of the lifts goes down, the shutters go up. Why the lifts – which themselves are only 18 years old – couldn't have been replaced first hasn't been explained, although this approach has gone wrong at the Woolwich Foot Tunnel, closed until March 2011 thanks to "structural weaknesses" in the stairs.
A cyclist I talked to told me he found Thames Clippers often unwilling to take his bike on their boats, despite the service being touted as a replacement for the tunnel when closed. (Thames Clippers' recent cutbacks have not helped this situation either – the tunnel closes at 9pm on weeknights, 49 minutes before the last north-south boat and after the last south-north boat.) Before he headed off to find a pier, he claimed one of the lift attendants was in the habit of arbitrarily closing the tunnel if he fancied knocking off early.
Obviously this is completely unsubstantiated, but with no sign of any life at the tunnel's north portal in Island Gardens, we could only wonder what the hell was going on down there.
We were the lucky ones, though.
Just before I set off on my six-mile detour to the Woolwich Ferry, a white sub-contractors' van pulled up, and a man walked out. As he approached the tunnel entrance, I told him it was closed.
This gentleman wasn't best pleased. He was due to man the lifts for the evening, having paid a babysitter and driven a long distance to do the job. Nobody had called to tell him not to bother coming in – and this had happened a couple of days before as well.
It's the 21st century, and Greenwich Council could use contemporary technology to inform people about tunnel closures – such as e-mailing or texting people, or using its excellent Twitter feed. But if it, or contractors Dean & Dyball, can't even be bothered to tell its own staff about problems in the foot tunnel, then something has seriously gone wrong under the Thames.

Italian Fig Cookies
ready in: 30-60 minutes
serves/makes: 24
recipe id: 32205
add photo
★ review it!
1 cup margarine
1 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 cup milk
4 tablespoons baking powder
1 pinch salt
flour as needed
2 pounds figs, dried
1 pound raisins
Almonds and other nuts as desired
2 cups sugar
orange rind
black pepper
1 cup brandy
1 pint wine
For Dough: Mix in order like a cake. If you don't mix the flour in all the dough at one time, you can make a softer dough with what is left and by adding different flavors to this part of the dough you can make different cookies, such as adding anise flavoring and making anise cookies.
For Filling: To the above, I added dates, the whole orange, and instead of water about a pint of wine and a cup of brandy. In the past, I tried to bring to a boil so that the sugar would dissolve and had trouble with the filling scorching so from now on will just mix well and use as is. If you want to dissolve the sugar it can be done separately with the liquid used.
Roll the dough and cut into strips about 3 inches wide, fill these strips with the filling and make into filled tubes. Then cut the tubes about 2 inches long and bake until a golden brown. When finished baking, decorate with a powdered sugar mix or milk and powdered sugar and then sift decorations on while still damp.

Hunter S. Thompson's obit for Richard Nixon
"If the right people had been in charge of Nixon's funeral, his casket would have been launched into one of those open-sewage canals that empty into the ocean just south of Los Angeles. He was a swine of a man and a jabbering dupe of a president. Nixon was so crooked that he needed servants to help him screw his pants on every morning. Even his funeral was illegal. He was queer in the deepest way. His body should have been burned in a trash bin." -- from Hunter S. Thompson's 1994 Rolling Stone obituary for Richard Nixon

Fourteen hundred years ago, a tormented soul walked the earth that was neither man nor god. Hercules was the powerful son of the god king Zeus, for this he received nothing but suffering his entire life. After twelve arduous labours and the loss of his family, this dark, world-weary soul turned his back on the gods finding his only solace in bloody battle. Over the years he warmed to the company of six similar souls, their only bond being their love of fighting and presence of death. These men and women never question where they go to fight or why or whom, just how much they will be paid. Now the King of Thrace has hired these mercenaries to train his men to become the greatest army of all time. It is time for this bunch of lost souls to finally have their eyes opened to how far they have fallen when they must train an army to become as ruthless and blood thirsty as their reputation has become.

Rolls/bread/spreads...the best
- b
- BackBayGirl Jan 6, 2009 02:31 PM
Hello all. I would love to hear from folks which restaurants you think have the best bread baskets/rolls and spreads. For instance, some favs of mine are the cornbread at Union Bar & Restaurant. I do think Bertucci's makes very delicious rolls and I do like Back Bay Restaurant Group's (Charley's, Abe & Louie's, etc) warm, crusty loaves. Franklin Cafe makes a great bean spread to go w/ the bread they serve before dinner. So what's your opinion??
Sel de la Terre is the best I've had locally. Most of the expensive steakhouses also provide worthy bread offerings, often in big baskets: Abe & Louie's, Capital Grille, Smith & Wollensky, and Grill 23 were good, if memory serves.
re: barleywino
Oh, yeah. Cragie's bone marrow makes my teeth sweat from ecstasy.
re: barleywino
Amelia's is still open! They also just renovated the entire room. It looks really nice.
The food and the spread are the same! Great spot!
Brookline Family Restaurant's white bean salad with Turkish bread. So good, I can't believe they give it away.
The last time I went to Flemmings they had two delicious wine based cheese spreads for their crostini. I was enthralled with them
I've occasionally toyed with the idea of starting a blog dedicated exclusively to restaurant bread baskets. If anyone feels like starting one, you have my blessing, just remember me when you're rich and famous.
Local to Boston:
* Salts - in terms of conventional choices, this is my favorite in town, piping hot "pod rolls" with French butter and salt tasting.
* Sel de la Terre - I definitely agree with bachslunch, great quality and variety. I like that you can take them home from the bakery as well.
* Namskar - a little more unconventional, but I love the fresh-made Indian breads here, notably the naan and poori, with standard trio of Indian accompaniments. (NB unlike the others on the list, these aren't complimentary.)
* The Helmand - traditional Afghan bread and accompaniments (similar to Indian accompaniments) are always a welcome addition to the meal.
Now, everyone get your rotten farm share tomatoes ready to hurl at me, my favorite breads from chain restaurants you can find around these parts:
* Texas Roadhouse - extra-soft, fresh-baked rolls served with whipped cinnamon butter.
* Legal Seafoods - the French rolls are nothing fancy, but they're pretty close to perfect.
* Cosi - they cut the ends from their excellent sandwich flatbread and make them available while you wait in line.
* On the Border (not Border Cafe) - the only chips and salsa I like in town, both made fresh on premises. The salsa actually has a legitimate little bite to it, and the chips are always fresh, light, and crispy.
re: finlero
the Scampo burrata w/ anchovies on tomato bread
The wonderful baguettes and soft butter at Brasserie Jo.
I used to really like the rolls and salted butter at B&G, but my recollection is that they changed recently.
The always warm, fresh baked Afghan flatbread ( noni ) at The Helmand, spread with some of the (salty) yogurt & cucumber dip is wonderful.
Scampo in the Liberty Hotel has fabulous breads, including naan and garlic bread, foccaica etc. Unfortunately they are not free, but they are well worth the price.
The Paramount on Charles Street in Beacon Hill has delicious bread - little square cubes of homemade foccacia which they serve with a warm, lemon-y hummus spread.
And - for my unpretentious chain restaurant addition - the Outback Steakhouse serves a good sized loaf of dark brown bread with warm melt-in-your-mouth whipped butter. Delish.
The bread basket at Scarlet Oak Tavern in Hingham is the best one i've had south of Boston. It's an assortment, typically a few pieces of warm crusty sour dough, a couple of corn bread and a few fruit bread (cranberry Walnut, ect). It's one of the"little things" that makes it one of the better choices along Rt. 3 south.
I love the bread basket at Mamma Maria with their spread, which I call anti-pesto. It's a pesto spread made with fantastic olive oil, but does not have pine nuts (great for me since I'm allergic).
I agree that Bertucci's rolls are great; I just wish they served something great to go with them. I used to get a salad just as an excuse to eat their rolls, but now even those have gone downhill.
My personal favourites, and I'm more of a bread and butter guy, are, in no particular order:
Troquet's good bread and awesome butter;
Henrietta's Table (I'd sometimes go for this primarily);
Cafe Polonia's bread and lard, I can't believe . . . I'm the first to mention this;
The "special complimentary snack" often served at lunch the Tamarind House, I think they're shrimp puffs or something, like the crunchy things you see in those "subgum" Chinese dishes in the south.
For fun, I'll throw in a worst list (ok, not worst, but places I think ought to do better):
DBar, that uberdoughy bread is over;
Kashmir, last two times the dosa's been chewy.
re: sailormouth
Isn't Troquet's butter imported from Normandy? You get a cookie for mentioning it.
When they make their own focaccia at Pescatore, it is wonderful, with big chunks of salt on top, but they usually bring in (from Iggy's, I believe).
re: enhF94
yes troquet serves normandy butter and it's killer.
the pig butter at bina. swoony good.
Petit Robert's warm french bread and the complimentary sweet/savory buttery rolls at Kingfish in Faneuil Hall. Plus the above mentioned ones like Union's cornbread, Sel de la Terre / L'Espalier (fig bread!), Oleana's spreads with the bread with zataar, anything at Scampo off the breads menu, Troquet's butter, Cafe Polonia's lard, Diva's garlic naan.... and if you get a chance, When Pigs Fly bakery

A partnership is an arrangement in which parties agree to cooperate to advance their mutual interests.[1]
Since humans are social beings, partnerships between individuals, businesses, interest-based organizations, schools, governments, and varied combinations thereof, have always been and remain commonplace. In the most frequently associated instance of the term, a partnership is formed between two or more businesses in which partners (owners) co-labor to achieve and share profits and losses (see business partners). Partnerships exist within, and across, sectors. Non-profit, religious, and political organizations may partner together to increase the likelihood of each achieving their mission and to amplify their reach. In what is usually called an alliance, governments may partner to achieve their national interests, sometimes against allied governments holding contrary interests, as occurred during World War II and the Cold War. In education, accrediting agencies increasingly evaluate schools by the level and quality of their partnerships with other schools and a variety of other entities across societal sectors. Some partnerships occur at personal levels, such as when two or more individuals agree to domicile together, while other partnerships are not only personal, but private, known only to the involved parties.
Partnerships present the involved parties with special challenges that must be navigated unto agreement. Overarching goals, levels of give-and-take, areas of responsibility, lines of authority and succession, how success is evaluated and distributed, and often a variety of other factors must all be negotiated. Once agreement is reached, the partnership is typically enforceable by civil law, especially if well documented. Partners who wish to make their agreement affirmatively explicit and enforceable typically draw up Articles of Partnership. It is common for information about formally partnered entities to be made public, such as through a press release, a newspaper ad, or public records laws.
While partnerships stand to amplify mutual interests and success, some are considered ethically problematic. When a politician, for example, partners with a corporation to advance the latter's interest in exchange for some benefit, a conflict of interest results; consequentially, the public good may suffer. While technically legal in some jurisdictions, such practice is broadly viewed negatively or as corruption.
Governmentally recognized partnerships may enjoy special benefits in tax policies. Among developed countries, for example, business partnerships are often favored over corporations in taxation policy, since dividend taxes only occur on profits before they are distributed to the partners. However, depending on the partnership structure and the jurisdiction in which it operates, owners of a partnership may be exposed to greater personal liability than they would as shareholders of a corporation. In such countries, partnerships are often regulated via anti-trust laws, so as to inhibit monopolistic practices and foster free market competition. Enforcement of the laws, however, varies considerably. Domestic partnerships recognized by governments typically enjoy tax benefits, as well.
Common law[edit]
Under common law legal systems, the basic form of partnership is a general partnership, in which all partners manage the business and are personally liable for its debts. Two other forms which have developed in most countries are the limited partnership (LP), in which certain limited partners relinquish their ability to manage the business in exchange for limited liability for the partnership's debts, and the limited liability partnership (LLP), in which all partners have some degree of limited liability.
There are two types of partners. General partners have an obligation of strict liability to third parties injured by the Partnership. General partners may have joint liability or joint and several liability depending upon circumstances. The liability of limited partners is limited to their investment in the partnership.
A silent partner is one who still shares in the profits and losses of the business, but who is uninvolved in its management, and/or whose association with the business is not publicly known; these partners usually provide capital.
Summarising s. 5 of the Partnership Act 1958 (Vic) (hereinafter the "Act"), for a partnership in Australia to exist, four main criteria must be satisfied. They are:
- Valid Agreement between the parties;
- To carry on a business – this is defined in s. 3 as "any trade, occupation or profession";
- In Common – meaning there must be some mutuality of rights, interests and obligations;
- View to Profit – thus charitable organizations cannot be partnerships (charities are typically incorporated associations under Associations Incorporations Act 1981 (Vic))
Partners share profits and losses. A partnership is basically a settlement between two or more groups or firms in which profit and loss are equally divided
Statutory regulation of partnerships in Canada fall under provincial jurisdiction. A partnership is not a separate legal entity and partnership income is taxed at the rate of the partner receiving the income. It can be deemed to exist regardless of the intention of the partners. Common elements considered by courts in determining the existence of a partnership are that two or more legal persons:
- Are carrying on a business
- In common
- With a view to profit.[2]
Hong Kong[edit]
A partnership in Hong Kong is a business entity formed by the Hong Kong Partnerships Ordinance,[3] which defines a partnership as "the relation between persons carrying on a business in common with a view of profit" and is not a joint stock company or an incorporated company.[4] If the business entity registers with the Registrar of Companies it takes the form of a limited partnership defined in the Limited Partnerships Ordinance.[5][6] However, if this business entity fails to register with the Registrar of Companies, then it becomes a general partnership as a default.[6]
According to section 4 of the Partnership Act of 1932, which applies in both India, "Partnership is defined as the relation between two or more persons who have agreed to share the profits according to their ratio of business run by all or any one of them acting for all". This definition superseded the previous definition given in section 239 of Indian Contract Act 1872 as – "Partnership is the relation which subsists between persons who have agreed to combine their property, labor, skill in some business, and to share the profits thereof between them". The 1932 definition added the concept of mutual agency. The Indian Partnerships have the following common characteristics:
1) A partnership firm is not a legal entity apart from the partners constituting it. It has limited identity for the purpose of tax law as per section 4 of the Partnership Act of 1932.[7]
2) Partnership is a concurrent subject. Contracts of partnerships are included in the Entry no.7 of List III of The Constitution of India (the list constitutes the subjects on which both the State government and Central (National) Government can legislate i.e. pass laws on).[8]
3) Unlimited Liability. The major disadvantage of partnership is the unlimited liability of partners for the debts and liabilities of the firm. Any partner can bind the firm and the firm is liable for all liabilities incurred by any firm on behalf of the firm. If property of partnership firm is insufficient to meet liabilities, personal property of any partner can be attached to pay the debts of the firm.[8]
4) Partners are Mutual Agents.The business of firm can be carried on by all or any of them for all. Any partner has authority to bind the firm. Act of any one partner is binding on all the partners. Thus, each partner is 'agent' of all the remaining partners. Hence, partners are 'mutual agents'. Section 18 of the Partnership Act, 1932 says "Subject to the provisions of this Act, a partner is the agent of the firm for the purpose of the business of the firm"[8][9]
5) Oral or Written Agreements. The Partnership Act, 1932 nowhere mentions that the Partnership Agreement is to be in written or oral format. Thus the general rule of the Contract Act applies that the contract can be in be 'oral' or 'written' as long as it satisfies the basic conditions of being a contract i.e. the agreement between partners is legally enforceable. A written agreement is advisable to establish existence of partnership and to prove rights and liabilities of each partner, as it is difficult to prove an oral agreement.[8][10]
6) Number of Partners is minimum 2 and maximum 50 in any kind of business activities.Since partnership is 'agreement' there must be minimum two partners. The Partnership Act does not put any restrictions on maximum number of partners. However, section 464 of Companies Act 2013, and Rule 10 of Companies (Miscellaneous) Rules, 2014 prohibits partnership consisting of more than 50 for any businesses, unless it is registered as a company under Companies Act, 2013 or formed in pursuance of some other law. Some other law means companies and corporations formed via some other law passed by Parliament of India.
7) Mutual agency is the real test. The real test of 'partnership firm' is 'mutual agency' set by the Courts of India, i.e. whether a partner can bind the firm by his act, i.e. whether he can act as agent of all other partners.[8]
United Kingdom limited partnership[edit]
A limited partnership in the United Kingdom consists of:
- One or more people called general partners, who are liable for all debts and obligations of the firm; and
- One or of the firm beyond the amount contributed.
Limited partners may not:
- Draw out or receive back any part of their contributions to the partnership during its lifetime; or
- Take part in the management of the business or have power to bind the firm.
If they do, they become liable for all the debts and obligations of the firm up to the amount drawn out or received back or incurred while taking part in the management, as the case may be.
United States[edit]
The federal government of the United States does not have specific statutory law governing the establishment of partnerships. Instead, each of the fifty states as well as the District of Columbia has its own statutes and common law that govern partnerships. These states largely follow general common law principles of partnerships whether a general partnership, a limited partnership or a limited liability partnership. In the absence of applicable federal law, the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws has issued non-binding model laws (called uniform act) in which to encourage the adoption of uniformity of partnership law into the states by their respective legislatures. This includes the Uniform Partnership Act and the Uniform Limited Partnership Act. Although the federal government does not have specific statutory law for establishing partnerships, it has an extensive and hyperdetailed statutory scheme for the taxation of partnerships in the Internal Revenue Code. The IRC is Title 26 of the United States Code wherein Subchapter K of Chapter 1 creates tax consequences of such great scale and scope that it effectively serves as a federal statutory scheme for governing partnerships.
Islamic Law[edit]
The Qirad and Mudarabas institutions in Islamic law and economic jurisprudence were developed in the medieval Islamic world, when Islamic economics flourished and when early trading companies, big businesses, contracts, bills of exchange and long-distance international trade were established.[11]

***** The Visible Employee: Using Workplace Monitoring and Surveillance to Protect Information Assets—Without Compromising Employee Privacy or Trust. By Jeffrey M. Stanton and Kathryn R. Stam; published by Information Today, Inc., www.infotoday.com (Web); 353 pages; $24.95.
This book looks at the human element in IT security, aiming to help companies strike a balance between protecting themselves against insider threats and respecting employees' privacy.
Authors Jeffrey M. Stanton and Kathryn R. Stam, a psychologist and an anthropologist, respectively, both of whom specialize in IT management issues, spent four years researching their work by surveying IT managers and rank-and-file workers. The good news: They found that most employees want to do the right thing in an institutional context. "In our research we met many people—employees, managers, and information technologists—who apparently conducted their everyday work lives consistently with this vision of wider integrity," they write.
Stanton and Stam have determined that employers should build internal IT security on "one overriding goal: creating an organizational environment that promotes organizational integrity in the use and treatment of information." That integrity, they say, involves maintaining "an appropriate equilibrium between personal achievement and group well-being."
Their advice: a transparent IT security policy based on consultation and communication, "involving the user community in monitoring and compliance." Stanton and Stam leave it to the reader to assess the practicality of this approach.
As academics, the authors acknowledge that to date "the topic of insider integrity has received little attention by either academic researchers or managerial practitioners." They even offer their text as "a work in progress" rather than a series of "immutable truths." In other words, there are severe limitations imposed on this book by its exclusive reliance on social science methodology and research.
The book has an extensive bibliography as well as an appendix connecting each of its main topics to recommended readings. It also has appendices providing discussion questions, dealing with employee security-related behavior, outlining interview protocols, and covering password policy.
Stanton and Stam offer a fresh look at the psychology at play in workplace IT security, and their research may help senior security managers stay abreast of what rank-and-file employees are thinking. The Visible Employee is a potentially enriching read for IT and general security managers, if not a must-read for those with an interest in information protection.
Reviewer: Colin D. Pearce holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Toronto, is past president of the South Carolina Political Science Association, and is the director of the Security Studies Program at the University of South Carolina Beaufort.

Taxes - we all pay them and sometimes complain about them. However, lest we forget that unless we each want our own ambulance and fire truck in our driveway, plus an EMT or two, taxes save us money. We support each other by all contributing to the common pot for the things we may not use every day but keep our community vibrant and thriving: Roads, parks, boat launches and schools.
Margaret Wolf seems to have put a lot of thinking into why she thinks women should not have abortions (Your Views, Oct. 18).
The only thing we know for certain is that K-12 education in America is in deep trouble and dramatic changes are needed. We have spent the last 40 years trying to feel good by deluding ourselves into thinking preschool focus will solve our problems.
Amendment 1 on the Nov. 6 ballot asks: "Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities?"
As we go to the ballot box to elect our federal, state and local leaders, let us not be caught off guard by ballot questions asking us to amend our state constitution. As amendment question No. 1, also referred to as the Charter amendment, relates to public education and funding, I feel it is most important that we understand the question: "Provides for improving student achievement and parental involvement through more charter school options ... Shall the Constitution of Georgia be amended to allow state or local approval of public charter schools upon the request of local communities?"
Twenty-eight pages of foreclosure notices in The Times say to me that our economy is a terribly long way from being in a recovery mode. Each of these notices represents a shattered dream for an American homeowner. I wonder who these people will vote for in November.
The headline on the column Tuesday by Trevor Thomas states, "Clear moral choice doesn't favor Obama."
I am writing to express my dismay over the poor design of the southbound exit at Interstate 985, Exit 24. Cars that try to merge into traffic on Jesse Jewell do not realize until too late that the two exit lanes merge into one before entering the road. This has led to multiple crashes as two cars try to pull into one lane.
As a woman, I take exception to the idiocy of political arguments that Republicans are waging a war on women or that they were taking a step back in women's rights because they came out with a strong pro-life platform.
I watch the vice presidential candidates as they debated some of the gravest issue this country and the world has had to face in the last century or perhaps ever.
Much has been written concerning the charter school referendum. There are two very significant reasons why I will vote "no."
I've always prided myself as being neutral when it came to voting, but can I say that anymore? It really saddens me, but I don't believe that I can. After watching the Democratic convention, it seems like they have pretty much drawn the line in the sand.
Washington can only be changed from the inside - a cultural change is needed.
Our biggest threat is probably that our government is not sustainable. We are borrowing 40 percent of expenditures. Democrats claim that the Republicans want to change Social Security and Medicare. President Lyndon Johnson did that when he moved their revenues to the budget. Not changing them now will destroy them; your call.
It appears that Gibson Mano (Sept. 29 Your Views letter) is a chip off the old Obama block in blaming everything that happens in the world on the United States' actions. His hard and fast assertion that the rioting and killing of our ambassador and staff people in the Middle East was the result of an obscure film that practically no one, even in the U.S., has seen, is the height of gullibility or disdain for his own country (I assume he is an American citizen).
This time of year we begin hearing about the "War on Christmas," as the nonreligious seek to enforce the constitutional separation between church and state. Others talk about a "War on Thanksgiving" as early shopping begins to infringe on family time and Thanksgiving time. But there's another war far more displeasing to God, at least according to Jesus.
Many thanks should be extended to all the local restaurants who provided free dinners to veterans on Veterans Day. Such a positive, supportive attitude only serves to strengthen the community and the country. A week later, I was impressed to see a restaurant in Buford extend the honor by providing literally hundreds of free dinners to local veterans.
This is in response to Joan King's recent attempt to display her superior wisdom. I thought her forte was climate change, but now she's scolding us all for not embracing President Barack Obama's nightmare health care plan. Where's she been this past year?
Reply to Clarence Lusane column of Nov. 11: He is correct when he says the election was not a mandate for a Republican agenda. I disagree that it happened because of a "pervasive anti-Obama drumbeat" or "incessant Republican pounding." It happened because the American people are mad.
According to President Barack Obama, the citizens of the United States are not exceptional. Also, he claims we are no better than any other country on this planet.
I have a 16-acre sheep farm on Coker Road. One recent evening, a 16-year-old boy hit my fence driving 80 mph, as he told police. He and his friend, who was also 16, were going home from East Hall High School.
On Nov. 10, three men, one of them a Hall County Sheriff's deputy, were injured in a crash at Spout Springs Road and Union Circle. Thankfully none of the men suffered anything worse than a minor injury. But anyone driving in this area with any regularity knows how dangerous this intersection can be. The fact that there are not more accidents at this intersection is astounding.
In her recent letter, Mary Young seems to refer to the 9-11 attacks during the Bush administration as if they constitute a justification for the war in Iraq. Neither Saddam nor Iraq was involved in those attacks. She also attempts to justify the war by pointing to past history, including Saddam's use of gas against Iraqi Kurds. The U.S. sold Saddam that gas. I have to wonder, who does she think the U.S. intended the gas to be used on? As suppliers of WMD, we are complicit in that crime.
President Barack Obama left his domestic woes behind to take a foreign policy trip to China this week. He met with the leader of China in a private meeting to talk about Chinese-U.S. relations and trade policies. The American press was allowed total access to the meeting and to take photographs of the occasion. It was interesting to see pictures of the world's most powerful dictator standing next to some Chinese guy.
Family is the most important organization in time (on this earth) or in eternity. God Himself organized the first family on earth. He created all of us as His spiritual children and thus His spiritual family. Family is very important to Him. "What God hath joined together, let not man put asunder."

- Still tasting the food!!!LucyDined on 11/15/2014This was our first visit on a Saturday night. Busy, noisy but delicious as always. Will return again for brunch, which we found a little more relaxed and for a weeknight when things aren't so hectic. Still it was a very enjoyable evening with friends who enjoyed the food tremendously. We were not rushed in any way and the staff was very accommodating.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Charming old school italianItalianfoodieDined on 11/1/2014Definitely would come back, they were incredibly friendly. The food was very good and arguably the best in an area lacking quality restaraunts. Very old school italian, reminds me of a less crowded parkside. I would definitely reccommend the pizza as well! Will come back for sure!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, very noisy.MartyDined on 10/25/2014The food was very good, the service was okay, but the place was very noisy. They are set up for large groups that like to sing "Happy Birthday", so I wouldn't take a first date there. They do have parking which is a definite plus in that neighborhood.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RepeatcustomerPortJeffloverDined on 9/16/2014Our group from work always choose to meet here for dinner....parking lot is a big selling point. Serve staff excellent, Cosmo excellent! Food great......got specials for Feast of San Gennaro which was nice. They did run out of lemon sorbet though but I had delicious caramel gelato instead. They did not rush us.....will be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food.redherringDined on 8/25/2014I ordered the sunset dinner which was excellent and the portions plentiful. The waldorf-like salad was superb and the main course salmon was cooked to perfection. My family ordered steak (not sunset menu) which they said was cooked to their liking and enjoyed very much. Wait staff were attentive, but I must say it was a Monday evening and the restaurant was not busy. The ambiance was low key, décor is Italian themed, as well as music. Dinner prices were average, but sunset menu is a deal. Chef's choice of dessert is included. I ate only half of my dinner and salad and requested it to go. My disappointment was getting home and finding I had another table's leftovers. I was looking so forward to enjoying more of my meal again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 7/31/2014The food is always consistently good. Frank Russo has done it again. We dined on a Thursday night and it was calm and quiet.Special Features:
- The following 173 reviews are from the Giardino - by Russo's on the Bay reviews archive.
- Oldie but GoodieAstoriaDined on 7/25/2014This restaurant has been around for several years. It is better today (in every way) than it was 15 years ago.Special Features:
- Graduation CelebrationgoodeatsDined on 5/18/2014Very nice venue. Difficult to choose when searching on line - but we were very pleased. Made our Celebration very enjoyable.Special Features:
- Frank-HuntingtonOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 5/10/2014Our reservation was on time, service was good, my wife, mine and two friends thought, all of our food, from start to finish was outstanding. This was our third visit to Giardino and we will return again. I would recommend this restaurant to all.Special Features:
- A little disappointedDinnerbuddyDined on 4/6/2014We have been to the restaurant several times & have always enjoyed it! This time it did not live up to its reputation. We are always a large group when we dine out and therefore I cannot blame the size of our party. The brunch they offer is usually excellent, but this time our waiter seemed to forget about us. Drinks were ordered & did not arrive until a reminder was given. Personalized Omelets were ordered early on, but were not served until we were about to leave. Also, some of the items on the menu did not come at all, but pancakes a& French toast were dropped off more than once. The omelet station is no longer available and the selection is more limited. Sad that it my mother's 85th Birthday wasn't as special as it could have been.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fine Italian DinningFoodie66Dined on 3/27/2014Classic Italian foods with a refreshing twist; must try the veal chop!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enduring Neighborhood Restaurant!robkapVIPDined on 3/16/2014When I think back many years to occasions which I have been at local restaurants, Giardino pops first into my mind. And I only get good memories of good food and good celebrations. I am talking about over twenty years ago. I don't know if the owners are the same, but the food and service have always been excellent. And again on this recent occasion, the same was true; excellent food and service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- It's always a great experienceBariVIPDined on 3/11/2014It's always a great experience -- consistent good food and friendly service…...Special Features:
- Good for brunch, mediocre serviceHazelVIPDined on 3/2/2014Good selection for brunch unlimited servings brought to your table. Service was slow and forgot multiple orders, never replenished coffee or water even after asking.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unfortunately there were twoMarciDined on 3/1/2014Unfortunately there were two private parties and there was a full dining room. The noise was unreal and the service was very poor. Not because the wait staff didn't try there just was not enough to cover everyone. They were just over worked and could not be in two places at once. It was difficult to get the attention of the waiter because he was so busy.Special Features:
- It's been about six month'sDuncan73Dined on 2/23/2014It's been about six month's since we were here for Sunday Brunch. What a let down! According to the wait-staff they began economizing the menu about three months ago; getting rid of the buffet spread (Shrimp), cheeses and other items. Cut back on yogurt and are reticent on putting out the other goodies in a timely manner. The wait-staff were also cut back and are overtaxed in serving the additional tables. The bus-boys have to do double duty in supporting the waiters. Management was not too interested in addressing any of these issues and seemed to have an attitude that we even raised them. What a shame. Used to be a great feed. They should also change the menu on their web-site to reflect the actual food being currently served.
- Well done. We were sat beforeOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2014Well done. We were sat before our reservation time. Service was very good. I had the best shell steak I can remember ever having and the restaurant had a pleasant valentines day feel. Only minor compliant was being sat close to the musicians speaker which made it tough for us to talk during the night. Great job overall though!I would recommend this to a friend.
- Horrible experienceservice1Dined on 2/14/2014Eating at Giardino's on 2/14/14 - Valentines night - was a horrible experience. First although I had reservations, I had to wait in the hallway for 10-15 minutes to be seated. Then they put me in a room with a family of about 15 noisy children. The food was awful. The pri fixe menu had a limited selection and cost $49.00 per person. I ordered salmon and my meal consisted of one-half (1/2) slice of salmon covered with overcooked breaded vegetables. Half-slice-salmon for $49.00 How awful!!!
- NiceOpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 2/14/2014Nice place and good is great.... Not enough staff though... Took forever to get drinks and to orderSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great restaurant, deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 2/1/2014Great restaurant, delicious food, friendly and professional waiters, and manager We have been coming for 'many years and love it, we used to live in the neighborhood , and now that we have moved to Westchester, we still come back...we ve had several parties and gatherings, and we have never been disappointedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Birthday brunchGmachDined on 1/5/2014I dined here with a group of 4 for my mom's birthday brunch. To begin with, the restaurant itself is beautiful. Brunch consists of a small buffet (lox, bagels, cold salad, brick oven pizza, pastries), omelettes, and unlimited small plates served at the table similar to tapas (sausage, bacon, mussels marinara, rigatoni, meatballs, etc) plus a complimentary drink. The pizza on the buffet was cold but still tasty. The small plate of banana stuffed French toast was one of the best things I've ever eaten in my life! Service was outstanding. An excellent value for your money!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Basic ItalianStarfire39Dined on 1/1/2014I will give this restaurant one more try. The food was ok but it seemed like there was only 1 waiter & 1 bus boy working for New Years Day. Bread came to the table promptly but it was ice cold. The hot appetizers: stuffed clams and eggplant rollatini were lukewarm. I did inform the waiter that I like my main course steaming hot and he did bring it to the table that way, so that was much appreciated. The cheese ravioli's were good, but just basic. The shrimp dish was fair. The chicken rolatini was interesting. The one negative, previous diner drew a happy face on the table cloth. When this was brought to matri' d's attention, she said it was ok, the table cloth was clean. Sorry, no, it should have been changed.Special Features:
- Overall generally good butThanksgiving2013VIPDined on 12/28/2013Overall generally good but somewhat disappointing given the Diners Choice award. Red sauce was a bit heavy. Don't ask them to spice the sauce a little......cane out so spicy it was inedible unless you removed the sauce by moving the food to another plateSpecial Features:
- Holiday AtmosphereBariVIPDined on 12/17/2013Always great food and friendly staff…. Right now the restaurant is decorated very tastefully for Christmas, which gives it an even nicer ambiance than usualSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Enjoyable eatsMReatsDined on 11/8/2013Traveling into the city for a show, Giardinos close to LIRR. We had the most delicious hot/cold antipasti With seafood and the special spaghetti with pancetta Dressed with tomatoes and white wine in a light sauce. A dollop Of burrata topped the fish. For two people it was more Than enough. The waiters were very attentive, and they made sure our dining Experience was pleasurable . Definitely will go there again,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BrunchFoodie101Dined on 10/27/2013Went for brunch for my mothers birthday. The menu was anywhere from specialty omelets to brick oven pizzas and chicken ptarmigan. The food was excellent!

The service was great as well.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Restaurant could not givetam814Dined on 9/27/2013Restaurant could not give reservation at desired time, so we made reservation for first available time slot available (15 minutes later). Qw were surprized to learn that there were several empty tables and no apparent treason why we could not have been accomodated when we wanted to be. Maitre d' recited specials nicely, but was visibly upset when we asked him to either repeat something or explain how a dish was prepared. Food was OK as to quantity and quality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

We walked out of there feeling very sated; with full happy bellies! Will definitely recommend and will return!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Part of the Russo Restaurant FamilyggsantafeDined on 8/9/2013We had previously hosted a luncheon at one of the Vetro properties and decided to try Giardino's for dinner . We had a lovely dining experience - excellent food, unobtrusive, but friendly wait service, pleasant dining atmosphere & reasonably priced. Highly recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedimpressmeDined on 6/16/2013I was really disappointed in the food, ambiance, and service. I made a 8:45 reservation for 5 people two weeks prior to Father's Day and we had to wait 10 minutes for the staff to set up a table(obviously my reservation didn't mean anything). To top it off, we were seated at a table that had bread on the floor(i thought this was a Russo's establishment and not Applebee's). I kind of lost my appetite when I looked up through the window and saw debri. I like the idea of being enclosed by windows, but please keep the window areas clean! As for the food, it was ok. It certainly was not what I am use to from a Russo's establishment. Due to a very disappointing evening, I can't recommend Giardino's to my friends.
- Great food and excellent service.SteakgalVIPDined on 6/8/2013Gennaro took great of us. The Penne al la vodka and grilled calamari , a special were very delish. There are private rooms for large dinner gatherings or to book a party.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The Iowa Lottery has released the names of a group of factory workers who won a $241 million Powerball jackpot, the largest in state history.
Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich identified the so-called "Shipping 20" of Cedar Rapids on Friday, after they failed to file a court action to keep their names private. Rich says state law requires the Lottery to identify jackpot winners, and gave the Quaker Oats employees until Friday to file a legal challenge.
Most of them appeared at state lottery headquarters in June to turn in the winning ticket and celebrate at a news conference. But they only gave their first names and said they would seek a judge's order to maintain their privacy to avoid any hassles associated with their new fortune.
Rich said the lottery has had a long-standing suggestion that winners of major prizes seek legal and financial help before coming forward to claim the money. In this case, the group did that.
Iowa Lottery released the list of winners according to their home cities:
From Cedar Rapids: Tommy Campbell Sr., William Carnahan, Mike Hughes, Denise Hunt, Terry Koopman, David Morgan, Charles Shedek, Gregory Stearns and Rodney Tierney.
From Marion: Timothy Himmelsbach and Kelly Mulford.
From other eastern Iowa communities: Daniel Cantonwine of Vinton, Kenneth Cole of Fairfax, Robert Havlik of Toddville, Carol Kremer of Central City, Allen Miller of Shellsburg, Larry Nielsen of Walker, Brent Novak of Shellsburg, Jason Rauch of Ryan, and John Wharton of Keystone.
