Whale Sharks
Whale Shark season on Isla Holbox is from May 15th until September 15th.
The whale shark is the largest fish on earth, usually measuring between 15 and 50 feet (5 -16 m) in length and weighing as much as 10 tons. These gentle sea creatures range all tropical waters and infrequently stray into temperate ones.
The whale shark's body is stout but streamlined, like that of a shark. In fact, they probably got their name because they look like a shark with a whale's head. They are dark brown or grey with white or yellow spots, with a white or yellow underbelly.
The whale shark has nothing in common with whales except for its size and the fact that it only eats minute plankton by scooping it up with an open mouth. Unlike most sharks, the whale shark has its mouth at the front of its head rather than on the underside and unlike other sharks, it does not eat meat. It normally feeds on or just below the surface by literally vacuuming food from the water.
Very little is known about whale shark reproduction, with most information coming from a single egg found in the Gulf of Mexico. It is thought that the young develop in egg cases that are retained in the mother's body until hatching. Despite their large adult size, whale sharks are very small at birth, probably 40 to 50 centimeters.
The whale shark is a docile fish that will not attack, even on provocation. Despite their impressive appearance, they are harmless to humans. They are mainly solitary in nature, they roam widely, and are often difficult to find. The expedition from Isla Holbox is an exceptional adventure. Being in the presence of these great creatures, with enough time to observe and enjoy them, is a special privilege indeed. Please look, take pictures, enjoy, but as with many of the wonders of the ocean, please do not touch them or harass them in any way!
For several years now, whale sharks have been coming to the northern tip of the Yucatán peninsula to feed and mate during the months of May through September. Tourism based on whale shark watching has increased dramatically in the last few years and government agencies have taken steps to protect these magnificent animals so that the species will not be harmed and so they will continue to return to this area.
For that reason, Isla Holbox has recently been named by the Mexican government as the only port that can offer trips to swim with the whale sharks and there are strict rules against scuba equipment being used to view them in the area. Local guides have been trained to give tours that are as safe for the whale sharks as they are for their human visitors.
At a conference in 2010, Pronatura declared that at least 1000 whale sharks were counted in 2009. This national treasure must be protected. Many whale sharks have been seen with injuries caused by the propellers of passing boats.
If this protection is guaranteed, the whale shark can continue to provide tourism opportunities in the area. Pronatura is doing studies on the impact from tourism on these inoffensive animals, and creating a management plan to determine how many boats and humans can approach these animals so that they don't feel threatened and migrate to another area.
Aware of the importance of this species and its protection, past President Felipe Calderon decreed a marine reserve of 160,000 hectares added to the reserve of Yum Balam.
Ask around at the docks or downtown for someone to take you to the whale sharks. Be prepared to spend about five to six hours on the water, with all that entails. Most tour guides will provide drinks, but be sure to ask before you go. And don't forget a hat and sunscreen!
From a reader: "As scuba divers, we have always wanted to see a whale shark. Having spent a whole week in Roatan without seeing even a glimpse of one, we made it our mission to find one and were pleased to learn that we might get lucky on Isla Holbox. On a sunny day last September, we drove to the coastal town of Chiquilá, parked our car, and took a boat to Isla Holbox. Once there, we easily found a fisherman with a "lancha" (a small motor-powered wooden fishing boat) who used his not-so-quaint GPS locator in order to find the spot where the whale sharks, known locally as Dominos, were feeding the next day. After about an hour of motoring, we found ourselves in the middle of the ocean, with no land in sight. Suddenly, there were four or five whale sharks slowly swimming around us (and three other boats that were there to observe). They were joined by a large manta ray that was also fishing in the area."
How to get to Holbox:
From Mérida, you can take a bus ("Oriente") that leaves at 11:30 pm (the terminal is on Calle 69 x 68 y 70 and the cost is 186 pesos) and gets to Chiquila at 5 am, where you catch a ferry to the island. The return departs at 5:30 am arriving to Mérida at 11 am. The other option is with Noreste, departing Merida at 10.15 am and arriving Chiquila at 4.15 pm, cost is 150 pesos, from their station at Calle 67 x 50. This bus returns at approx. 5.30 am, arriving Merida 11.30 am. If you go by car, it is better to take the libre (free) Mérida-Cancún road to kilometer 80 to the Customs building at El Ideal, where you turn to the left until you reach Chiquila. Parking costs 50 pesos per day but they charge by day, not by night, so if you stay overnight you will be charged 100 pesos.
Bus from Cancun: 80 pesos for the milk run, and 150 pesos for the direct bus to Chiquilá. The direct bus to Chiquilá leaves at 2:30 pm from ADO in Cancun.
Ferry crossings:
"9 Hermanos"
From Holbox to Chiquila: 5 am, 7 am, 9 am, 10 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 3 pm, 4 pm, 6 pm, 8 pm. During peak vacation dates the ferry is hourly.
From Chiquila to Holbox: 6 am, 8 am, 10 am, 11 am, 12 pm, 2 pm, 4 pm, 5 pm, 7 pm, 9:30 pm. During peak vacation dates the ferry is hourly.
The cost is 80 pesos per person.
From Holbox to Chiquila: 7 am, 11 am, 1 pm, 4 pm, 7 pm.
From Chiquila to Holbox: 8 am, 12 pm, 2 pm, 5 pm, 8 pm
The cost is 50 pesos per person.
If you don't want to wait, you can hire a "lancha" from one of the men waiting around the dock. That will cost you about $350 pesos from 1 to 6 persons (450 at night), but you might be able to share it with someone else who is waiting.
You can also fly to Holbox with Aerosaab Airlines air tours from Playa del Carmen, Cancun and Tulum.

MY wife and I are going to be staying in Cancun from April 27 through May 3, is this too early to see any whale sharkes or is it possible for us to see them that early in the season
re. whale sharks
Impossible to say! They are normally best seen from May 15, but of course there is no way to predict Mother Nature!
Whale Sharks
Unfortunately, you will probably not see whale sharks on the dates of your visit. The best time is late June through early August.
holbox scuba
Hello, I was reading your blog and just would like a little clarification. Is it possible to scuba dive around holbox to see whale sharks or is this a snorkel only? also, we are thinking about going late September 2012, is that too late in the season to see whale sharks?
Thank you in advance for your advise
holbox scuba
You are correct, scuba diving is not allowed with whale sharks so they are not (too) disturbed while feeding in our area. You are however allowed to snorkel with them, and his is done in a tour where only 2 people are allowed to jump off the boat at a time. Coming in September sounds pretty good since summer time is pretty crowded. However you know what nature is like, there could still be many whale sharks or just a few.
December in Holbox
We are visitng Holbox for a couple of days late December and were hoping on seeing the whale sharks but it appears it is too late in the season. Can you suggest any other activities worth doing?
Whale Shark Watching?
FYI guys, in town of Oslob, Cebu, Philippines every day you can see 2-3 whale sharks swimming near small sakayan (boats). Many tourists do visit this small town to experience swimming with the gentle giants, oslob whale shark watching is open 6am-1pm daily.

Tesco UK sales decline by 1.3% in first quarter
Tesco's like-for-like sales in the UK fell by 1.3% in the three months to May 30, the supermarket giant has announced.
The figures are an improvement on the previous quarter, when sales were down by 1.7%.
In the same quarter last year the UK decline was 4%.
Like-for-like sales for the UK and the Republic of Ireland were down 1.5%, while internationally there was a 1.3% decline.
Chief Executive Dave Lewis said the results were "another step in the right direction".

Analyst: Lewis 'doing the right things to turn Tesco around'
Tesco remains a "very strong business" and is doing the "right things" in working towards a recovery despite today's announcement of massive losses, an independent analyst has told ITV News.
Richard Perks, head of retail research at Mintel, pointed to recent positive signs, such as an increase in like-for-like sales in the final quarter, as a sign that new chief executive Dave Lewis was already turning the supermarket's fortunes around.
"I think they have acted impressively, really, to bring people back into those stores and shopping again," he said.

Tesco turnaround plan 'may prompt further profit fall'
Tesco boss Dave Lewis says the supermarket's trading profit could fall further in the coming year as it makes further investments to turn around its fortunes.
The £1.4 billion trading profit was more than halved in 2014/15 after what Lewis described as a "very difficult year", and Lewis said maintaining even that level of profit was not "without its challenges".
Our aspiration is to maintain the profit level at what it was last year but you should understand that if we feel we have to make further investments to keep the momentum of the business going ... we would.
Prior to today's update, analysts said they expected Tesco to post a trading profit of around £1.48 billion in 2015/16.
Tesco: What drove the supermarket's record loss
Tesco's £6.38 billion losses were driven by £7 billion in one-off charges.
Among the major contributors to that figure were:
- £3.8 billion: A review of its store portfolio in light of industry conditions and declining profits
- £925 million: A write-down in the value of work-in-progress, after decision to axe 39 new stores
- £270 million: Yearly contribution agreed toward pension fund after valuation revealed £2.8 billion deficit
- £416 million in restructuring costs
Tesco is undergoing a turnaround plan under new chief executive Dave Lewis, who took over from Phillip Clarke in August last year.
Tesco boss: 'We have drawn a line under the past'
Tesco chief executive Dave Lewis said the supermarket had endured a "very difficult year" as it reported the biggest annual loss in its 96-year-history.
The supermarket's massive losses came after an accounting scandal, a ferocious price war with rivals and a series of profit warnings - all of which followed a major write down on the value of its property portfolio.
"The results we have published today reflect a deterioration in the market and, more significantly, an erosion of our competitiveness over recent years.
"We have faced into this reality, sought to draw a line under the past and begun to rebuild, and already we are beginning to see early encouraging signs from what we've done so far."
Despite the heavy losses, Tesco saw a small increase in its UK like-for-like sales for the first time in more than four years during the final quarter.
Tesco reports £6.38bn loss amid turnaround plans
Supermarket giant Tesco has reported a bottom-line loss of £6.38 billion for the year to February 28.

Bloemfontein - Cheetahs full-back Hennie Daniller will join Italian club Zebre after the Super 15 season, the South African Super Rugby franchise have said on Monday.
The Bloemfontein team have no chance of reaching the play-offs and their final league fixture is away to the Lions on July 12 in Johannesburg.
Uncapped Daniller joins a rapidly expanding group of South African rugby players lured to Europe and Japan by much bigger salaries than they earn at home.
His team-mates at Zebre in northern Italian city Parma will include former Cheetahs lock Andries Ferreira.
A dependable rather than outstanding full-back, Daniller was at the Bulls and second-tier Boland Cavaliers before joining Cheetahs six years ago.

Would You Secure Your Drink With a Combination Lock?

(the one use that was NOT mentioned).
22USD to keep your children (or their friends) from drinking that bottle of wine you are saving for your anniversary or for holidays is really not a bad investment.
To me this seems very similar to having child blocks and passwords on your television and computer.

In many ways, it's a sad state of affairs. Americans are scared and want their President to be an omniscient, omnipotent savior, and the man we elected knows with certainty that he is that savior. Yet it's comforting to know that, in many ways, some of the founders of our nation understood human nature so remarkably well that they could have predicted a day when future generations would want not a President, but a messiah, and a day when a President fancied himself as such.
Such wisdom is yours for the reading in "The Federalist Papers," that old compilation of some 85 newspaper editorials that argued for the ratification of the U.S. Constitution, published in 1787 and 1788. While make the case for limiting the power of government, and establishing "checks and balances" between government's various "departments," James Madison eloquently wrote in "The Federalist Number 51:"
" It may be a reflection on human nature, that such devices should be necessary to control the abuses of government. But what is government itself, but the greatest of all reflections on human nature? If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary. In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government……"
It would seem that Madison the philosopher (who went on to become our Fourth President of the United States) was quite certain that those who govern will never be "angels" (he would probably also concur that a President will never amount to a messiah). Madison also seems to indicate that those who govern will naturally begin to think a bit too highly of themselves, and will have difficulty with 'self-restraint."
The good news, even in this brief passage of Madison's writings, is that "the people" - - those of us who are "the governed" - - can still function as the force that prohibits government from spiraling out of control. Certainly, we are still "free enough" today to speak out, to allow our voices to be heard, and to freely exchange ideas about our country and its government - - even if those ideas are contrary to the edicts of a dead-certain Command-In-Chief.
The question is not "can we," but "will we" function as that balancing force against a government that is spiraling out of control? Madison and the other founders set the course. Will we follow their lead?

The French social security system is basically a number of statutory schemes:
For more information: http://www.securite-sociale.fr/L-organisation-de-la-Securite-sociale?type=part
The general scheme, introduced in 1945, was initially intended to cover the entire population. The creation of universal coverage was met with opposition however, whether from workers in sectors already covered by a scheme which they wished to maintain, or from self-employed workers who refused to be brought into the new scheme. This paper deals only with the general scheme, the unemployment insurance scheme and the supplementary pension schemes which cover all private-sector salaried workers.
The general scheme is managed by a network of local, regional and national institutions organised by risk and administered by representatives of employers and employees under the supervision of the different ministries with responsibility for social security (the Ministry of Labour issues, the Ministry of Women's Health and Rights and the Ministry of Finance and Public Accounts).
The general scheme is financed mainly by contributions and taxes deducted from earnings, which account for 80% of total revenue. Contributions are calculated on the basis of percentage rates decided at national level and are borne partly by employers and partly by employees. The two social welfare taxes, the "Contribution Sociale Généralisée" (CSG) and the "Contribution pour le Remboursement de la Dette Sociale" (CRDS) are borne by employees. Current contribution rates and earnings ceilings are given in appendix. The CSG and CRDS are paid on income from employment, replacement income, property income, investment income and gambling income. All persons treated as residents of France for income tax purposes and subject to a French compulsory health insurance scheme are liable to the CSG (at the rate of 7.5% on earned income and 6.2% on replacement income) and the CRDS at the rate of 0.5% on their earnings.
Pensioners in receipt of a French pension and treated as residents of France for tax purposes are liable to the CSG at the rate of 6.6% or the reduced rate of 3.8% if their reference taxable income is below 13,900 €. There is also a 1% tax on their supplementary pension(s) (both compulsory and voluntary).
Persons subject to the compulsory health insurance scheme who are not treated as residents of France for income tax purposes are liable to employees' health insurance contributions at the 5.5% rate applicable before 1st January 1998.
Persons in receipt of a retirement pension who are not treated as residents of France for tax purposes but subject to a compulsory health insurance scheme are liable to taxes on their compulsory supplementary pension and voluntary supplementary pension (3.2% and 4.2% respectively under the general scheme).
The compulsory general scheme:
The general scheme basic pension is supplemented by various compulsory supplementary pension schemes.
There is also an unemployment insurance scheme, which covers all employees subject to the general and agricultural schemes.
In France, all employers hiring an employee are first required to file a declaration of employment with the relevant institution in charge of collecting social security contributions (URSSAF). The declaration enables registration for social security purposes of employees without a Social Security Number, as well as registration for unemployment insurance purposes. For supplementary pension schemes, employees are registered with the scheme to which their employer belongs which will depend on the company's location or field of activity.
As part of the effort to simplify administrative formalities, unemployment and wage guarantee insurance contributions on salary paid after 1st January 2011 must be declared and paid to the agencies responsible for collecting social security contributions (URSSAF) rather than the employment service (Pôle emploi) as was previously the case.
For more information on the collection of contributions, please visit the ACOSS website at http://www.urssaf.fr.
Foreign employers who have no place of business in France are required to report and pay social security taxes and contributions to the single institution in charge of collecting the contributions, namely:
For supplementary pensions, the relevant body is:
To come under the compulsory general scheme two basic conditions must be satisfied:
The general scheme is divided into five branches:

ESPN asks whether Kobe should be appearing in a commercial for an evil, violent video game. The real story is in ESPNs comment sections for this story however. Even non-gamers are incensed.
"And then last week, he went home and was watching a game when a new commercial for "Call of Duty: Black Ops" came on his television. Seen through Walker's eyes, the content was bad enough. A woman in high heels, a hotel concierge, a guy in a fast-food worker's outfit -- they're all shooting automatic weapons and rocket-propelled grenades in an urban warfare setting.
He was already disgusted, but about halfway through the spot, Walker did a double take: Wait! Wasn't that Kobe Bryant?"

I would like to the turn the conference over to John Green, comScore's Chief Financial Officer. Please go ahead.
John Green
Thank you. Good afternoon and welcome to comScore's earnings call for our second quarter and full year 2008. On the call today with me is Dr. Magid Abraham, comScore's President, CEO and Co-Founder.
Before we begin, please allow me to read the following statements to inform you of certain Safe Harbor provisions under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. During the course of today's presentation as well as any discussions and question and answer periods to follow represent that the company may make forward looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21-E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, regarding future events or financial performance of the company that involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation, the expected strength of comScore's business, customer growth and clients' demand for comScore's products, the future quality of client relationships that result in renewal rates, expected results in profitability of comScore's acquisition of Metrix, and forecasts of future financial performance, including related growth rates and assumptions for the second half and the full year of 2008.
Such statements are only predictions based on management's current expectations. Actual events or results could differ materially from those predictions due to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those enumerated in the documents comScore files from time to time with the SEC.
Those documents specifically include, but are not limited to, comScore's Form 8-K filed earlier today relating to the subject matter of this earnings, comScore's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31st, 2007, and comScore's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31st, 2008. These filings may contain and identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in our projections or forward looking statements.
We caution you not to place undue reliance on any forward looking statements included in these presentations which speak only as of the date of this presentation. comScore does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward looking statements to reflect new information after today's call or the reflective occurrence of anticipated events.
I will now turn the call over to Magid. Magid?
Magid Abraham
Thank you, John. Earlier this afternoon, we released our financial results for the second quarter which ended in June 30, 2008, and reflects the results of our acquisition of Ad Metrix which was completed at the end of May.
As stated in the press release, we will also be highlighting the results of the base comScore business excluding the impact of the Ad Metrix acquisition for this reporting period only to facilitate compare trends with the company's guidance that we issued prior to the acquisition.
I'm pleased to report that as our second quarter 2008 financial results show; we had an outstanding performance, achieving the highest levels of revenue and profitability in comScore's history. For the comScore base business, we exceed in the First Call consensus estimates and our own prior guidance in all respects.
Our momentum in the marketplace continues with strong new business and growth among existing customers. We are very excited about the additional value that we will bring to our customers by complying Ad Metrix's product and its leadership position in the measurement of the mobile internet and media markets, combining that with comScore's existing strong position in the global digital marketing and intelligence marketplace.
The integration of Ad Metrix business into comScore's existing operation is well underway and we are on track with our objective for Ad Metrix to make a positive contribution to adjusted EBITDA by the end of the fourth quarter of 2008 as we announce at the time of the acquisition.
I want to highlight some of the key financial results for the quarter. In particular, I want to highlight the base business, some of the key metrics, and John will provide some details later.
Our total revenue reached 28.8 million in Q2, which was an increase of 38% relative to the same period a year ago. For our base business, the revenue was $27.8 million, that's an increase of 34%, and that compares to a guidance of $27.1 million to $27.4 million.
Our GAAP net income was $1.7 million, and when we look at the base business excluding the Ad Metrix's results, it was $2.6 million, that's a 108% increase. Our GAAP EPS on a diluted basis was $0.06 per share. Our EPS on the base business was $0.09 per share, and that compares to a guidance of $0.07 to $0.08 per share.

Hard Times In The Job Market
May 14, 1992
by Kevin Haney, Daily News Staff Writer
Jack Carr, manager of the Northeast Jobs Center office, has seen a lot of people down on their luck during his 31 years working in the state unemployment system, but nothing like the bad fortune of the last two years. "You have people who have put 20 or 30 years at a job, and now they're out of work," he observed. "You see so many capable people out of work. This is one of the worst (periods) I've seen. " Since the end of November, the Northeast office, part of the state's Department of Labor and Industry, on Grant Avenue just west of Ashton Road, has seen the number of unemployment claims jump from 4,500 to 9,500.
Preparing For The Job Market Of The Future
March 8, 1990
By Kimberly J. McLarin, Inquirer Staff Writer
Barbara Price hurls statistics like darts, hoping that one or the other will strike home and make you start thinking about the changing nature of the American workforce. Like this one: According to a 1986 U.S. Department of Labor study, by 2000, a majority of all new jobs will require training beyond high school. And this: 83 percent of workers entering the job market between 1988 and 2000 will be women, minorities or immigrants. Yet few schools have begun preparing students - especially women and minorities - to meet the changing needs, Price said.

Job Market Soft For Men Of Iron
July 10, 1990
By Lisa Ellis, Inquirer Staff Writer
Leaning against car hoods and a brick wall, eight men chatted or smoked cigarettes in the cool of a morning that soon would start to sizzle. While much of the city slept yesterday, these few waited restlessly for a chance to go to work, a chance to risk their backs and their necks lifting, fastening or balancing on giant beams perhaps hundreds of feet in the air. But it was only 6:20 a.m., and the door to the two-story glass, iron and stucco...
Claims lowest since '08 as job market improves
December 23, 2011
By Daniel Wagner and Martin Crutsinger, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - In in the latest sign that the economy is surging at year's end, unemployment claims have dropped to the lowest level since April 2008, long before anyone realized that the nation was in a recession. Claims fell by 4,000 last week to 364,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. It was the third straight weekly drop. The four-week average of claims, a less volatile gauge, fell for the 11th time in 13 weeks and stands at the lowest since June 2008. While the economy remains vulnerable to threats, particularly a recession in Europe, the steady improvement in the job market is unquestionable.
Stocks close higher on better job market news
December 23, 2011
By Pallavi Gogoi, Associated Press
NEW YORK - Encouraging economic reports pushed stocks higher Thursday. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 61 points, its third gain in a row. The number of people applying for unemployment benefits dropped last week to the lowest level since April 2008, the latest sign that the job market is healing. It was the third week in a row that applications fell. The Conference Board also reported that its measure of future economic activity had a big increase last month. It was the second straight gain, signaling that the U.S. economy was picking up speed and the risk of another recession was fading.
Job market may tighten for new college graduates
April 6, 2001
By Linda Loyd INQUIRER STAFF WRITER
With announcements of massive layoffs by large corporations and a tanking stock market, newly minted college graduates could face a tougher job market than last year's class did. While corporate recruiters are still showing up on campuses in record numbers, they are cutting back on hiring in some cases. Moreover, some colleges said a handful of recruiters canceled campus interviews this spring, noting the economic slowdown. But while the era of employers tripping over one another to land young hires may be over, college career directors and employers locally and nationally say the job outlook for this spring's 2.3 million graduates is bright.

Chesco program provides 'boot camp' for unemployed
October 6, 2015
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
When, after 28 years, Beverly Wiker lost her administrative job at Pepperidge Farm's plant in Downingtown, "it felt like a death in the family," she said. "I was in shock," she said, sitting in an Exton classroom with other unemployed people, who have become her new, extended family, united by their unwilling membership in the world of long-term joblessness. What also unites this group is renewed hope generated by a program launched last month in Chester County targeting the long-term unemployed.
Part-time not always a choice over 50
October 5, 2015
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
Two things may be happening - simultaneously - to Sandy Ellis-Johnson, 59, caught in a long cycle of part-time jobs when she needs full-time work. She may actually get a job, and she may become homeless as soon as Monday. The owner of the house where she's living is moving tenants out to make repairs. And with her part-time income of $7.25 an hour for 20 hours a week, Ellis-Johnson doesn't make enough to find another place. More than 7.5 million part-time American workers are older than 50, and for most of them, 4 out of 5, part-time work is a choice - with income as a motivator, but also job satisfaction and a desire to stay connected to the work world.
Web Wealth: How to quit a job gracefully
February 16, 2015
By Reid Kanaley, Inquirer Columnist
Job-market improvements mean more people feel free to change jobs. But leaving a job can be difficult, even on the best of terms. Here are some guidelines for making a graceful exit. "Since the days of being loyal to one organization for an entire career are long gone, moving from one company to another is something that all of us will probably do," writes Ron Ashkenas, a contributor at Forbes.com. But, he asks in this post, "why do talented, bright, and capable people figuratively burn their bridges behind them?"
Recruiters, advocates see optimism in jobs market, but wages still a concern
December 7, 2014
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
The nation's businesses added a whopping 321,000 jobs in November, demonstrating strength in the job market. But Kenny Dubin, who runs a recruiting company in Bala Cynwyd, didn't need Friday's report from the U.S. Labor Department to evaluate the economy. "October and November were the two best direct-hire months in the history of my company," said Dubin, chief executive of the Dubin Group, founded in 1998. Not only did the nation's payrolls add 321,000 jobs in November, beating expectations, but the Labor Department revised data from earlier months, adding 44,000 jobs to the numbers reported in September and October.
On the House: Back to a buyer's market, with oversupply of homes
November 23, 2014
By Alan J. Heavens, Inquirer Real Estate Writer
I spent the first six months of the year hearing real estate agents complain there just wasn't enough for sale to satisfy prospective buyers. The supply shortage - that is, a shortage of houses that buyers wanted, houses that were up to date and properly priced - lasted well past the spring selling season ending June 30. And it was widespread. For "Town by Town" in the Sunday Business section, I visited 26 municipalities and neighborhoods in eight counties, and of the 75 real estate agents and builders I interviewed, all but two started the conversations lamenting a shortage of listings.
Camden County job fair draws diverse applicants - and employers
October 30, 2014
By Brielle Urciuoli, Inquirer Staff Writer
It has been a rough two years for Scott Smith of National Park since he lost his job in manufacturing. However, he remained optimistic Tuesday alongside the other hopeful candidates who filled the Collingswood Grand Ballroom at the Camden County Job Fair. "I'm looking for anything," said Smith, 55. "Two years is a long time. " While the attendees looking for a job represented a wide spread of age and education levels, the potential employers were no less diverse. More than 100 companies, from newspapers to Pepsi-Cola, were looking for candidates to hire.
For some, the recession never ended
September 17, 2014
BY WILL BUNCH, Daily News Staff Writer firstname.lastname@example.com, 215-854-2957
DENISE THOMPSON used to think she had the most stable job in the world - working on an overnight shift at a large Mellon Bank office in Center City, processing checks. It was what she did five nights a week for 17 years. Then one evening in March 2009, the company told her and her co-workers it was laying off her entire shift, due to both the Great Recession and changes in check-processing technology. About 5 1/2 years later, Thompson - now 49, living in West Philadelphia - never found another job. At first, she said, she wasn't looking too hard for new work because she lives mortgage-free in a home that she'd inherited from her mom. But soon, the everyday bills began to pile up. When she finally hit the job market in earnest, she learned that her experience in check-processing didn't match well with the few openings that were out there - and the longer she went without a job on her resume, the fewer responses she got. "I thought for sure that my skills could transfer," Thompson said, although she now thinks her lack of customer-service experience has held her back.
Monday Money Tip: Improving U.S. job market may affect best bond choices
August 5, 2014
By Erin E. Arvedlund, Inquirer Columnist
The unemployment rate ticked upward 0.1 percentage point to 6.2 percent last week, and July marked the first time since 1997 that the United States has booked six consecutive 200,000-plus months of payroll growth. In other words, "we're in the midst of the best labor market conditions in more than a decade and a half," Janney Montgomery Scott's Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist, noted Friday. Better job markets could mean rising interest rates, and in that environment, floating-rate bond funds are a decent place to invest, says Bradford Bernstein, senior vice president of wealth management in UBS's Philadelphia office.
Job growth in July is a sign of progress
August 3, 2014
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
U.S. payrolls grew by 209,000 jobs in July - less than expected, but still enough to begin to erase the jobs deficit created by the recession, the U.S. Labor Department reported Friday. Even the rising unemployment rate, which ticked up by a tenth of a point to 6.2 percent, is an indicator of growth. That's because, to count as unemployed, a jobless person must actively be seeking work. As employment prospects improve, some people who had been sitting on the sidelines may reenter the labor market and start sending out resumés, but may not immediately find work.
Sober toast for a strong April jobs report
May 4, 2014
By Jane M. Von Bergen, Inquirer Staff Writer
While she's been at college, senior Stefanie Lechner, 23, has been watching the economy. "It doesn't frighten me," she said Friday, less than two weeks away from graduation from Temple University. Maybe it's because of Friday's champagne-popping report from the U.S. Labor Department - an unemployment rate of 6.3 percent in April, the lowest since September 2008, when it was 6.1 percent, and a not-shabby payroll expansion of 288,000 jobs. That being said, Lechner, graduating with a degree in therapeutic recreation, will soon begin an unpaid internship - a career step she believes will lead to full-time employment in the same organization by year's end. "It's a great opportunity," she said.

"What?" Tom questioned looking up from his plate of steaming hot pasta, Cutler shook his head.
"Nothing," he replied though a mischevious smile found it's home on his lips as he continued to observe theyoung werewolf opposite him. This unerved Tom immensenly and he finally put down his fork.
"Seriously, what is it?" Tom asked once more raising hisvoice slightly which earned him several glares from around the room. Cutler waited a moment for the room to shift their gaze from the two.
"Just I'd have expected you to order a steak, you know, kind of a stereotypical dish for your lot." Cutler explained nonchalantly as he picked up his wine glass. Tom shook his head, he was not one for stereotypes.
"Well, what's stereotypical f'r you? Oh I know..." Tom hissed once more attracting unwanted attention from the rest of the room.

"Do you know who I am? I was in the area, as they say. What about you, Isaac Daniels? Why are you in the areas?" he asked as he observed the man in front of him, the head of all the vampires had taken a visit to this particular area, but why was he bothering to investigate one man?
"We were on the way back from seeing my father. He's in one of the resettlement camps in London West." The man answered, it seemed too rehearsed, too perfect an answer and delivered quickly without fault.
"Do you know what tomorrow is?" Snow asked as he tilted his head slightly looking out of the window towards the man's car, where a young girl sat patiently.
"Of course sir, eleventh of April, ten years ago tomorrow you killed the Prime Minister live on television." The man answered, he was getting slightly nervous now believing it was too late for him.
"He was appealing for calm. He looked so pale. His tie was askew." Snow mused as he looked towards the man once more. "We've

"And then what happens?" I asked, once more I found myself opposite my protégé, Cutler, along with Sophie. Out of curiosity I had sought him out; the first time had been by accident, this time it was to find out exactly what he was planning.
"The reveal. "Who will save us from the Big Bad Wolf?" Bum bah dah dah! It's us. We have created a nightmare and now we will provide the antidote." He answered as he paced around his side of the small white circular table, instead of the warehouse we found ourselves in a modern night-club, much too public for my taste.
"Surely you don't think they'd turn to us for help, if you haven't notice they think of us as monsters." Sophie stated in utter disbelief, she had a point, even in modern times humans saw us as the monsters who drank for pleasure, they had much more sympathy for the wolves, the ones who were 'normal' for most of the time.

She sure as hell couldn't be Eve could she?
"How do you know about Mitchell?" I questioned.
"You told me everything. Mitchell. George and Nina. Lia. McNair. Gilbert. Herrick. These are the stories I grew up with." She replied could this really be future Eve? But how could she have come back in time to tell me something? Why would she need to tell me something? Surely she could tell future me.

We'd returned to England once more, it would always call us back. Hal was worse than ever his sadistic side had returned once more, but it was worse this time. He played cruel games with his prey, he snapped occasionally at us all, everyone around us feared him; even I did from time to time. I returned from a night's walk, back to the pub we had bought. Hal's 'followers' were the only one's there it meant either Hal had gone out to find me or he was out feeding.
"Where's Hal?" I asked as I walked towards the back of the place, if he was out looking for me well I'm sure he'd end up shouting when he returned.
"I think you'll find his Lordship in a cell." One replied taking a gulp of some of the stock blood that was held in the basement. What had he done now? And why in hell's name was he in a cell.
"And our lawyer?" I inquired, our original lawyer was well not in Hal's good books and many of the others believed he'd be dead by the end of th

If the vampires don't want me, then I'll make sure that I will be remembered in their eyes as the one that stopped them, the mighty Nick Cutler that brought down the rise of the vampires. Would you be proud Hal? Would you finally see that the child you sired was worth something? I never wanted this life, I never chose this future. My life was ripped out of my hands and torn. My lovely Rachel. I have to make something of this hell, make sure that all that happened, happened for a good reason.

"Ah you're awake Mr Cutler. You need to drink."
I looked up...when had I collapsed on the floor? Why was their blood lining the wall and floor? The man in front of me was the answer to all these questions. I backed as far away from him as I could before realisin that prison cells never gave enough space.
"Let me out!"
"Now now, Mr Cutler calm down. What's done is done. Now drink."
He brought his slit wrist to my mouth, before encircling a strong arm around my head forcing the blood down my throat. It burned, but I couldn't help myself from biting into his wrist eliciting a moan from him. It was then I realised what had happened

"Do you actually think this will work what so ever?" Fergus fumed as he stormed into the main room of the warehouse, flipping several chairs over in his rage. Cutler leant down on the table covered in bones and dust idly looking over several Twitter feeds. He sighed knowing that Fergus would never understand the excellence of a well thought out plan, even after spending years with Hal.
"A plan is much better than simply gathering fangs and muscle." Cutler retaliated slipping his phone inside his jacket pocket. He watched cautiously as Fergus paced the room like a wild animal observing it's prey. He knew that in a fight Fergus would win hands down, unless he found some way of outsmarting him during the battle.
"And if the plan fails, we'll have people after our heads. Without fighters we can't win this war." Fergus yelled slamming his hand into the wall. He never understood why the great Lord Hal had chosen such a weakling to sire...maybe Hal had seen his true nature, what forc

Best Automated Teller Machine (2001)
Regent Bank
Your bank account is down to its very last $9.66. You have nothing in your pocket, and that pack of smokes you crave is so near, yet so far away. What to do? You could take the bus over to the check-cashing store for a payday loan. But you haven't seen a payday since you threw the wrapper away. You, my near-destitute friend, have but one option, and it is Regent Bank, which, for some unfathomable reason, still uses first-generation mechanical money trees that dispense $5 bills, not just the ubiquitous tens and twenties most ATMs spit out. Thus you can yank your last fin without entering the red zone. Most of us thought ATMs that still gave out $5 bills followed Reagan out of the White House, but we were wrong. Yes, you'll pay $1.50 for the privilege if your account is with another bank. But that cigarette -- or can of Foster's -- never tasted so good.

Again as the title says Not to glad with this formula.
I saw a lack of desire to eat, saw an increase in sluggish behaviors, loss of shine to the coat and dull tones after about 3 weeks.
was fairly easy to soften up and mix with wet food, was decently priced and the ingredients were not shabby at all.
Will avoid this brand as much as possible in the future just because of the fact my pack would not eat it.
Pros: Not a bad price, was decent on ingredients, was easy to micx with water and wet food
Cons: dogs not to interested in the formula, was not thrilled with energy levels, coat shine, nor gas

This review is from: IN WIN EM033.T350BL Black ATX Mini Tower Computer Case
Pros: Nice case. Standoffs are stamped into tray. Blue L.E.D. has a spot that turns orange when the harddrive is working. *Comes with 350w PSU and a 120mm exhaust fan.
Cons: No Reset button.
Other Thoughts: This case webpage says it does NOT have a PSU (power supply unit). It does have a 350 watt PSU installed in it. I told NewEgg about that, but they never adjusted the webpage. Also came with a 3wire mini plug 120mm exhaust fan installed in the case too. (*one egg off until NewEgg fixes the webpage for PSU)

Pete's Tavern, located at 129 East 18th Street on the corner of Irving Place in the Gramercy Park neighborhood of Manhattan, New York City, is a pub food restaurant and one of several drinking establishments which each claim to be the oldest continuously operated tavern in the city.[1]
The building which houses Pete's was built in 1829, and was originally the Portman Hotel;[2] liquor may have been sold there as early as 1851[3] or 1852[4] – when it was a "grocery & grog" store[3] – and the first official drinking establishment founded by 1864. It was bought in 1899 by Tom and John Healy, and became Healy's.[4] During prohibition, when selling alcohol was illegal, the bar continued to operate disguised as a flower shop.[3][4]
The writer O. Henry lived down the street at 55 Irving Place from 1903 to 1907,[4] and Healy's appears in his short story "The Lost Blend" under the name "Kenealy's".[4] Local legend also has it that he wrote his well-known story "The Gift of the Magi" in Healy's second booth from the front, but this appears to be apocryphal.[2]
Although the tavern claims to be "an official historical landmark", it is neither a designated New York City landmark nor is it on the National Register of Historic Places. It does, however, lie within the Gramercy Park Historic District designated by the New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1966.[5]
In popular culture[edit]
Pete's Tavern has appeared in numerous films and television programs, including Seinfeld, Ragtime, Endless Love, Law & Order, Nurse Jackie, "Spin City" and Sex and the City. It has also been used as a location for television commercials and print advertisements.[6]

This was right up my alley! Tangy, refreshing, & a hint of cardamom. I could not find shortcrust pastry at my local store, so I made my own (1st time, so the crust is a little thick due to my own inexperience). I used whole wheat pastry flour, so the cardamom complemented that very nicely. The directions did not state when to add the cornflour & cardamom, so I added it to the butter after the butter was melted, then gradually stirred in the egg mixture, and brought just to a boil.
