Home»Who are we?»What are our household sources of income?
Derived from the Census question, "Show all the ways you yourself got income in the 12 months ending today (excluding loans because they are not income)?" This is a multiple response question.
Relates only to persons aged 15 years or more.
Income sources data is a useful addition to Income data as an indicator of socio-economic status. With other data sources, such as Household Income statistics, Educational Qualifications and Occupation data, it helps to evaluate the economic opportunities and socio-economic status of Newtown and differentiate between market and non-market source of income. The sources of income that a household relies on are linked to a number of factors:
Source: Statistics New Zealand, Census of Population and Dwellings, 2006, 2001 and 1996.
Please refer to the specific data notes for more information.
Sources of income includes all sources which individuals in the household have identified as having received income from in the 12 months ended March in the Census year.
Sources of income is a multiple response question, and as most households have income from more than one source, the sum of all responses is likely to be significantly in excess of the total population. Percentages are calculated from the total population, so percentages will add to well over 100% in most cases.
'Superannuation, Pensions, Annuities' includes the categories 'NZ Superannuation or Veterans Pension' and 'Other Super., Pensions, Annuities'.
'Government Benefits and Payments' includes 'Sickness Benefit', 'Domestic Purposes Benefit', 'Invalids Benefit' and 'Other Govt Benefits, Payments or Pension'.
Analysis of Newtown's income sources in 2006 compared to Wellington City's income sources shows that there was a lower proportion of households who identified wages and salaries as an income source, a lower proportion of households who identified self employment or business as an income source, and a higher proportion that identified government benefits as an income source.
Overall, 71.6% of households identified wages and salaries, 19.0% self employment or business, and 43.0% government benefits as an income source, compared with 76.5%, 26.1% and 24.3% for Wellington City respectively.
The major differences between Newtown's household income sources and Wellington City household income sources were:
The largest changes in Newtown's household income sources between 2001 and 2006 were:

Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system ).
MS; Demyelinating disease
Multiple sclerosis (MS) affects women more than men. The disorder is most commonly diagnosed between ages 20 and 40, but can be seen at any age.
MS is caused by damage to the myelin sheath, the protective covering that surrounds nerve cells. When this nerve covering is damaged, nerve signals slow down or stop.
The nerve damage is caused by inflammation. Inflammation occurs when the body's own immune cells attack the nervous system. This can occur along any area of the brain, optic nerve, and spinal cord.
It is unknown what exactly causes this to happen. The most common thought is that a virus or gene defect, or both, are to blame. Environmental factors may play a role.
You are slightly more likely to get this condition if you have a family history of MS or live in an part of the world where MS is more common.
Symptoms vary, because the location and severity of each attack can be different. Episodes can last for days, weeks, or months. These episodes alternate with periods of reduced or no symptoms (remissions).
Fever, hot baths, sun exposure, and stress can trigger or worsen attacks.
It is common for the disease to return (relapse). However, the disease may continue to get worse without periods of remission.
Because nerves in any part of the brain or spinal cord may be damaged, patients with multiple sclerosis can have symptoms in many parts of the body.
Muscle symptoms:
Bowel and bladder symptoms:
Eye symptoms:
Numbness, tingling, or pain
Other brain and nerve symptoms:
Sexual symptoms:
Speech and swallowing symptoms:
Fatigue is a common and bothersome symptoms as MS progresses. It is often worse in the late afternoon.
Symptoms of MS may mimic those of many other nervous system disorders. The disease is diagnosed by ruling out other conditions.
People who have a form of MS called relapsing-remitting may have a history of at least two attacks, separated by a period of reduced or no symptoms.
The health care provider may suspect MS if there are decreases in the function of two different parts of the central nervous system (such as abnormal reflexes) at two different times.
A neurological exam may show reduced nerve function in one area of the body, or spread over many parts of the body. This may include:
An eye examination may show:
Tests to diagnose multiple sclerosis include:
There is no known cure for multiple sclerosis at this time. However, there are therapies that may slow the disease. The goal of treatment is to control symptoms and help you maintain a normal quality of life.
Medications used to slow the progression of multiple sclerosis are taken on a long-term basis, they include:
Steroids may be used to decrease the severity of attacks.
Medications to control symptoms may include:
For more information see:
The following may also be helpful for people with MS:
For more information about living with MS, see: Multiple sclerosis - at home
Household changes to ensure safety and ease in moving around the home are often needed.
For additional information, see multiple sclerosis resources .
The outcome varies, and is hard to predict. Although the disorder is chronic and incurable, life expectancy can be normal or almost normal. Most people with MS continue to walk and function at work with minimal disability for 20 or more years.
The following typically have the best outlook:
The amount of disability and discomfort depends on:
Most people return to normal or near-normal function between attacks. Slowly, there is greater loss of function with less improvement between attacks. Over time, many require a wheelchair to get around and have a more difficult time transferring out of the wheelchair.
Those with a support system are often able to remain in their home.

Where's my name?
Where's my name?
RIP Craig Walsh (Craig) 1985-2012
Proudly supporting the #2 cricketer of all time.
i am online
11 rounds or 12 rounds?
Indians can't bowl - Where has the rumour come from as I myself and many indian friends arwe competent fast bowlers ?
With the English bid I said: Let us be brief. If you give back the Falkland Islands, which belong to us, you will get my vote. They then became sad and left
I am not in Monk, the team I would pick would have probably been woeful anyway.
Start in about 20 mins...
Just post here if you're keen.
PEWS being late for this would be so so good
Present Sir
Barnes in this match revealed himself once more as one of the most remarkable bowlers that this country has ever produced. He has a positively wonderful command of the leg break.... His great height makes it difficult for the batsman to follow the flight of the ball. He is useful on every kind of wicket, whereas few bowlers of his pace are able to bowl on a sticky wicket. - JACK HOBBS, 'My Cricket Memories' (1924)

what was the name of that game?
In that game, you could strip a car almost completely bare, repair the pieces, and re-assemble them.
There were 2 'game-modes' - one where you got a car with some problem from a customer, and you got a certain price for fixing it,
and another where you bought a car from the scrap-yard, fixed it up entirely, added a turbo charger, and auctioned them.
Ah, the memories, I'm such a melancholic sod...

Comments about LUCCA SLEVELESS DRESS:
This would be a really cute dress to wear to any special event that is dressy! It's very figure flattering and the pattern is beautiful. A little short but it's still comfortable and easy to wear! The only problem is the zipper in the back feels a little bulky for such a delicate dress, something a little softer would be better. But overall, it's a great dress!

Comments about LUCCA SLEVELESS DRESS:
This is a really cute dress but a small feels like a medium to me. The fabric and cut feels and looks really nice. I especially loved that this dress had pockets...it definitely made for the cut of the dress. Just wish I had more to fill out the dress! Great dress to wear out on the town and to formal occasions.

First, some basic background. VNES (stands for Virtual NES) is an online NES emulator, written entirely in java. The site, based in the US, has a huge catalog of original NES games, which are completely free to play online (no downloading required). Now, obviously a whole bunch of legal questions come up here, most notably the claim that this is massive copyright infringement. The vNES legal page attempts to address these claims, and provide a justification for the legality of the site, through six main points.
One of the most notable arguments is the claim that the website constitutes fair use. It states that the website is noncommercial, only uses cartridges out of the market for 15 years, keeps copies of entire works, and that it holds works "vastly technologically inferior" to modern works (and then claims that these facts sufficiently satisfy the four factors). It also claims that, under Sony v. Universal, this emulation simply constitutes time-shifting, and therefore must be fair use. But by far the most interesting claim that they make is their classification of themselves as an archive (under 17 U.S.C. § 108). As an archive, the claim goes, they should be able to make their works available to the public. Also, they only provide games that they have physical copies of in their offices.
Now, their fair use claim in tenuous at best. The fact that they use entire works actually hurts their case as opposed to helping it, and just because the works are "vastly technologically inferior" to modern games does not mean that companies cannot still profit off of them (as remakes clearly demonstrate). Also, this isn't time-shifting so much as space-shifting, and the legality of space-shifting is not well tested in the courts. However, the archive claim is interesting, and could provide a valid loophole for emulation sites to provide video games to consumers. It relies on the games only being playable online though (no downloading (other than normal, incidental downloading) is involved). And the site has been contacted by the ESA (after which they removed all games for which they did not own physical cartridges), so presumably the industry is aware of it. This could provide an interesting middle ground for video game companies and consumers.

The TSA Will Let You Bring Wiffle Ball Bats On Planes Again:
Yesterday, the TSA announced they no longer believe terrorists will try to take over planes using plastic, yellow bats.
The TSA is lifting the ban on a few items next month, and one of them is WIFFLE BALL BATS. So the next time you're going to a wiffle ball tournament, you WON'T have to check your lucky bat. Score!
You can also bring lacrosse sticks, pool cues, ski poles, and up to two golf clubs on board. You still can't bring baseball bats unless they're those small, novelty bats that are less than two feet long.
They're also going to let you bring SMALL POCKET KNIVES onto planes again. But the blade has to be shorter than two-and-a-half inches, and narrower than half-an-inch. Box cutters and razor blades are still banned.

Around 5:30 P.M. on Sunday, 29-year-old Jamie Craft of Jonesboro, Arkansas was driving drunk in her 2001 Pontiac Grand Am. She ended up going off the road and SLAMMED into a guy's mobile home.
She got out of the car, where witnesses saw she wasn't wearing PANTS.
Her Pontiac was totaled, and she wanted to make a getaway. That's when she spotted a kid's BATTERY-OPERATED Power Wheels truck. She started trying to make a low-speed getaway in the truck but, obviously, it didn't work.
She was arrested with a blood-alcohol level of .217 . . . almost three times the legal limit. She's facing several charges.
Five Weird Profile Photos, And What They Say About You:
You can learn a lot about a person by their profile photo on social networks. And Cracked.com has a list of five weird types of profile pics, and what they mean.
#1.) The extreme close-up. Some women use a picture of just one eye, or just their lips. Guys seem less likely to use this one. But it sends a message that this one feature is the best you can do, and everything else will be downhill from there.
#2.) The three-quarter turn. This one is more of a guy thing. You turn your face slightly away from the camera, like you want to show people your good side. But if you even know you HAVE a good side . . . you're probably a narcissistic D-bag.
#3.) The hot friend. Some people use a picture of themselves with a really attractive friend. This is either to distract you from all the things about them that are NOT hot, or to brainwash you into thinking they ARE hot, just by association.
#4.) The no-show. Sometimes you get that blank profile pic, or that default silhouette of a head that looks like a shooting range target. Or someone puts up a picture of their cat, or their baby, or an inspiring cliché of some kind.
It's all probably about some personal crusade to convince the world that looks don't matter. Or worst of all . . . they might actually be obsessed with cats.
#5.) The intentionally ugly face. Good-looking people do it to make you appreciate their beauty even more. Everybody else does it to make you laugh . . . because maybe they're just not that attractive.

At first glance, the buildings with white picket fences look like individual bungalows – much like homes of the Route 66 heydey. Woodson Park is surrounded by a wooded area, and deer often emerge from the trees. "They come pretty close," explained resident Jim Hedrick, who likes the quiet, peaceful environment. "If you stand still, the deer will come right up to you." Residents often gather for games of dominoes or to knit or quilt together in the activity center, which is equipped with a sizable storm shelter inside which all can comfortably fit. Suzanne Luttrell, Manager of Woodson Park Apartments, says she's "driven up and down Route 66 my whole life. Some of the old filling stations remind me of ice cream cones." Bob Campbell Historic Preservation/Affordable Housing Tax Credits Bob Campbell enjoys helping those important to him. He helps his ex-wife take care of her foster children and babysits his grandchildren twice a week. Now that he lives in the "penthouse" of the newly refurbished Wells Building Apartments in Sapulpa, he enjoys helping manager Sheila Steiner when she needs it. Located right on Historic Route 66, the Wells Building "reminds me of living in an old hotel," Bob explained. "It's close to everything that I normally do." In its former life, the Wells Building served as law offices and judge's chambers. After an extensive historic preservation effort, the Wells Building is now a place where seniors like Bob can call home. He chose an apartment on the building's top floor with the building's biggest living room. "I can see all the way to Keifer on the south side of the building," Bob said. "I'm a big fan of Route 66. I always watched the old 'Route 66' television show, and I enjoy seeing the Blue Whale in Catoosa and the Round Barn in Arcadia."

In the evenings, she enjoys helping her five daughters with schoolwork in the home she had built with Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program assistance. Because financial responsibility is important to Natasha, she bought a car and reluctantly opened a credit card to generate credit. After renting for 10 years, Natasha was excited by the prospect of "one day hitting the garage door opener and saying 'this is our home.'" Now she and her daughters share four bedrooms and two bathrooms, play in their own backyard and enjoy family night every Wednesday with a movie and whatever food they have delivered to their front door. Growing up off Route 66 - Kelly Avenue in northeast Oklahoma City – Natasha attended both Millwood and John Marshall schools and considers herself "a Falcon Bear." Deidra Battenfield HOME Program Grant Recipient Deidra Battenfield has two great loves: her fiancé Keith Taylor…and John Deere. Deidra decorates her Kellyville home with all things John Deere, She enjoys celebrating every holiday with complementary décor. That's not the only personal touch she's given her new home. "I wanted to be different so I was the first one in the neighborhood to choose this new, open floor plan," Deidra shared. "I've lived in Kellyville all my life and saved up to have this house built." Deidra heard about Deep Fork Community Action Agency from a friend, and she was pleased to discover how easy the process was to finance a mortgage in her price range. "The grant from Deep Fork helped lower my payments and definitely made buying a home more affordable." Her home – down the road half a mile from Route 66 – is just the right size, located on a quiet half acre of land ripe for exploration by her dogs and cat, and with ample room for even more John Deere memorabilia.

"They keep the lawn mowed and the area safe and quiet. I don't have to worry about a thing. They take care of us like we were babies," Ruth said with a laugh. As a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher recipient, Ruth receives help paying her rent from OHFA. "If it wasn't for that rent, I couldn't make it," Ruth explained. "I would have to go to a nursing home, but I'm too independent for that." For 10 years, Ruth volunteered as a curator, tour guide and ghost story teller at Claremore's historic Belvidere Mansion. She recalls traveling to California on Route 66 several times as a child. "The highways were narrow but the cars were bigger than they are now. We didn't have air conditioning so we chipped ice off a block in the seat to stay cool." CLAREMORE THE MISSION OF THE OKLAHOMA HOUSING FINANCE AGENCY IS TO HELP PLACE PEOPLE IN HOMES. EVERY DAY WE LIVE OUR CORE VALUES OF EXCELLENT SERVICE, TEAMWORK, INTEGRITY AND FUN AS WE WORK TO FULFILL THE HOUSING NEEDS AND DREAMS OF OUR FELLOW OKLAHOMANS.

Kony 2012
Too Important not to share…
It's an embarrassing fact that the majority of Americans know who Justin Bieber is, but have no clue of the atrocities these children in Uganda face every day. This campaign is amazing! I think it has real potential. I am moved and motivated. Better yet, I want to join with some friends who are willing to get these kits and take a trip to Fort Wayne on April 20, or even some smaller towns closer to home, to get the word out about Kony. The world should know. These kids are not invisible. No one is.
Keeping those suffering in Uganda in my prayers,

ESCANABA -- Probably one of the biggest birthday celebrations in the Upper Peninsula has officially begun. It's Escanaba's Sesquicentennial 150th Birthday Celebration.
Fun and games for all ages filled Ludington Park on Saturday for the birthday celebration.
"We're having lots of fun," said Tyler Myirck, an Escanaba resident playing bean bag toss with his father. "People should come down."
And many did; organizers say the all-day event draws in close to 7,000 visitors a day.
"Sesquicentennial took about two years to plan," explained Kay Johnson, the Esky 150 events co-chair. "It's nice to finally see all these thousands of people coming here celebrating."
But Escanaba's 150th wasn't the only celebration going on.
Bill Jensen, an Escanaba resident, had a family reunion. "It's something we've done periodically over the years and thought it would be a great time to have one in conjunction with Escanaba, so here we are."
Beautiful weather made day two of Esky's 150th a perfect day in the park
"We're loving it," said Kristina Coopride, a mother from Bark River. "Lots of great things for the kids."
That's an understatement. Everything from fishing ponds to bounce houses, and the best part…
"All the rides are free, they don't cost anything," said Escanaba resident Elijah Meserve. "We saw everyone getting on without tickets, so we're like, 'Yay!'"
Organizers spent close to $200,000 for the event, all donated from businesses and the community. Don't sweat if you missed Saturday because celebrations continue into next Sunday. Check the Esky 150th website for the complete list of events.

Market Street Grill
Online Reservations
The feel of the restaurant is wonderful, very old San Francisco. The tables are spaced somewhat far apart so the noise level is quiet and you can enjoy the conversation of your dinner party. Great place to go before seeing a show at the Orpheum!
Great convenient location for meals before and after a show at the Orpheum theatre --which is right across the street and off civic center BART station as well.
We arrrive almost a 1/2 hour late. Was seated imediately severve imediately Food was great, service and waiter even better. Would definitely recommend the butternut squash & sweet potato bisque. Great dining experience.
The online menu is outdated-- some of the prices are not correct, and there were a lot more items on the online menu than when we went there. Food was great, but I was looking forward to one of the items that was on the online menu, but wasn't offered in the restaurant.
Our pre-theater group of six people were happy with our meal, service, and location near the Orpheum Theater. The lamb chops and asparagus were very flavorful but barely warm when served. We allotted 1.5 hours for service but still did not have time for dessert before heading across the street to the theater.
As a preballet dining place it is actually quite convenient. Good food and very good service. A shorter menu but with good offerrings. They don't dally, which is good a pretheater restaurant. Nice apacing on the tables so you have some privacy. Small number but well selected wines by the glass.
We planned to attend the 7 pm lecture before the concert at Davies Hall, and made it in plenty of time. Only 1 in the party ordered a salad, but the staging was timed perfectly, with entrees arriving moments after the salad was consumed. All 3 courses were tasty and well-prepared. The server was attentive without hovering. The only negative note was a language problem. 1 member of the party asked if the Chilean Sea Bass was sustainable, knowing that the fish is on the "watch list." The server clearly didn't understand the question, but went to ask the chef. When he returned, the chef's reply made it clear that either he didn't understand the question either, or the server mangled the query. It's a simple question - "fished or farmed?"
I live in Georgia currently, but lived in Sonoma County for twenty plus years. While in town for a wedding, I had the opportunity to have lunch with a newly found lady friend. The grill was perfect for he as she worked just a block away (a bit hectic for me tho since I am not used to the traffic, tourist and lack of parking. But we both thoroughly the moment. And the grill was perfect with the food, service and location. Thanks. Tim Coffey
Good food, good service, reasonable prices, pleasant and quiet. We were there for early lunch before the Asian Art Museum and enjoyed it very much.
Actually, pre-Jazz Center. Waiter inquired first thing if we were going to a show and needed a timely meal. The food was quite good. Burrata on the Caprese Salad was amazing. Crab Cake was delicious as was the Carbonara and the clam chowder with smoky bacon. We were not at all rushed and had plenty of time to make our show.
Small but nicely selected menu - freshly prepared and tasty - price is totally reasonable for quality of food items - we had spaghetti w/Sicilian sausage in tomato sauce - spaghetti all dente and sauce nicely spicy;; lamb chops - very tender in a crispy herb rub;; Scottish salmon - perfect crust not overcooked w/fresh veggies; wild mushroom ravioli - very tasty. Portions not excessive. Wine list is acceptable with a few good by the glass offerings - nice bottles if you're a few people sharing. Quiet atmosphere - as food is freshly prepared it does take a bit of time - if in a hurry do advise staff and things will move along more efficiently. They did have Bushmill's Irish whiskey - great. Definitely well above average hotel dining.
Market Street Grill was delightful and I will return for pre-opera or symphony meals. Our waiter asked without prompting if we had a performance time to meet. He kept things moving at an appropriate pace. We did not feel at all rushed, nor nervous about our show time. The food was delicious. I had the Salmon Saffron, very tasty and nicely cooked. My wife had the lamb chops and declared them excellent. I will add that we are fussy and don't hand out "very good" ratings easily. The wine list was interesting and had a good range of prices. The location, on Market between 8th and 9th, is not the most luxurious block, but is just a few minutes walk from Davies Hall, the War Memorial Building and the Asian Art Museum. I will return.
We were looking for some place reasonably close to Davies Symphony Hall with a good menu and reasonable prices... and we found it. We were there very early and had a relaxing drink in the bar served by a friendly and knowledgeable bartender. When we asked if we could move up our reservation it was no problem and again service was excellent and food was fantastic. Corn soup was perfection. My friend had the lamb chops which she raved about and I had the Tangerine Chicken .. also very yummy. Highly recommended! Only downside is the parking .. but that's no surprise in SF. Although we had prepaid for parking at Davies we had to pay another $20 to part in the "public" lot at the hotel in which the restaurant is located. But it was worth it!
An underutilized restaurant with very good food, perfect for meeting with friends or "working" lunch. Prior to tech boom was always busy with City & State workers,. Ambiance is casual elegance, clean, prices were very reasonable for San Francisco. Salads were fresh, the corn soup was outstanding, the Dungeness crab sandwich was described as delicious! There was only one other occupied table at our 12:30 reservation, given the cost and so-so quality of other hotel restaurants, this is a neighborhood "gem".
Directly across the street from the Orpheum Theatre, this restaurant is perfect. Our chops entree was excellent as was the apple tart with ice cream dessert. Service was sporatic since the pre-show crowd shows up about 6pm and the servers seem a bit overwhelmed or the kitchen is slow. Dining room very comfortable.
Needed a quiet place to eat before our Matinee at the Orpheum. We live out of town and drove in for the event. Didn't want to drive around so we parked at the Civic Center parking and walked to the Hotel Whitcomb where the Market Cafe was located. We were thrilled that the theater was across the street, now we could have a leisurely lunch and glass of wine with our meal. The chairs were upholstered in an English Fox hunt theme and room had the ambiance of an English Countryside Inn. There was a large decorative art sign noting that bicyclists are welcome. Our waitperson was very pleasant and the food was excellent. I had a coconut crusted chicken salad. It was wonderful. I would recommend the restaurant to all.
We thought the food was excellent. Compliments to the chef. My mom had ordered the crab cake and she said it was the best she ever had. I had the Black Cod and it was cooked to perfection. The accompanying side dishes were delicious.
I have been looking for a nice restaurant within walking distance of the opera, symphony, and theater and now I have the perfect place. Everything about our experience was excellent. I will definitely dine there again.
We look for restaurants that have wheelchair (power) access. The Market Street grill is accommodating and conveniently close to the theater, Orpheum and BART. I wish there was more variety around the Orpheum.
We were totally surprised at the quality of the food, the excellent service and the upscale atmosphere. I had the ahi salad which was fabulous. We will be back!
The restaurant is within 2 minutes walking distance of The Orpheum if you are going to see a musical there. You might have to wait a few minutes if go to a matinee as dinner starts at 5:00pm, but there is bar with some seating available while you wait. The food was exceptional and what one would expect from a restaurant tied into a fancy hotel. Extremely convenient for anybody that takes BART into the city as the Civic Center/UN Plaza station is right outside both the theatre and the restaurant. We would definitely consider going again before or after a performance.
We had a great lunch before attending a play at the Orpheum Theater. Very friendly and attentive staff and the food was great.
We've been here before. The menu usually doesn't change much, but this time the wild mushroom ravioli had been displaced, much to my wife's chagrin. The food is extremely well prepared and the selection is reasonable. The winelist is only average. The only negative was service this time. Not much attention to detail and very few check backs. It's definitely a place worth trying.
As someone that is extremely spoiled given that I am able to eat at all of the 5 star restaurants but given that some of us like to work and eat near the seat of government this is a real neighborhood gem. The restaurant staff is second to none. The food is great and its always served with one thing in mind and one thing only....are you enjoying your meal and how can I make it an even better experience. They practice customer satisfaction all day long! The servers are the very best! The chef menu leaves nothing to wish for! I enjoy it for either business or pleasure! Business this allows for an atmosphere conducive to real discussion of any kind.
Market St Grill was terrific - great service, interesting food with local, fresh touches, and terrific ambiance. We sat next to a roaring fire, watching the vibrant street scene, and had a perfect seafood carbonara, with lots of lobster, and the best crab cake ever.
Our family of four had reservations. My son had the clam chowder and caesar salad which he enjoyed. My daughter had the chicken salad sandwich and she also enjoyed her meal. Husband had the grilled ahi sandwich with a salad and I had the lobster roll with sweet potato fries. We both enjoyed our meals. We had very attentive servers. It was a busy theatre day. The chef came to the table after our meal and asked me why I didn't eat my brioche roll with my lobster salad (sandwich style) and I explained I wanted less carbs and he said next time just ask to have the lobster salad on a bed of lettuce instead and they would have no problem making it more of a salad for me. Overall we had a very nice experience for our lunch before the theatre!
Although a limited menu the choices are very good. Service was good -- we would go again
Food was great. Menu had lots of culinary favorites ranging from clam chowder, caesar salad, crab cakes, steak, fish, lamb, pasta, etc.) Went with my daughter (16) and she thought it was very fancy. Nice wines. Lots of couples. Looked like a lively bar area. Located in a historical building, across from Orpheum Theater. We booked reservation 1.5 hours prior to performance and timing was perfect.
The restaurant is across the street from the Orpheum theater. We had a party of 8. We were seated right away, and the server asked if we were going to the theater - so she could make sure we were out in time. The lunch choices were standard lunch fare - everyone enjoyed their meals.
My wife and I just moved to the SF Bay area and this was our first evening out. We were looking for a fine dining experience near the SF Symphony and could not be more pleased with our choice. The food was very, very good. We had excellent starters of mixed crudo plate and wonderful mussel and chorizo dish. I highly recommend the potato crusted trout and my wife enjoyed the delicious and very rich special of dungeness crab carbonara.
My wife and I went to the Market Street Grill before attending a show nearby and were both impressed with our meals. I had lamb chops and she had the chicken. Both dishes were superb. The service was excellent as well. While the menu is limited, based on our experience, that translated into time and care in the preparation and presentation that made for a memorable meal.
Market Street Grill provides a surprisingly warm, welcoming, cozy restaurant in what can be a funky area. You feel like you are in a nice living room, and it makes you want to linger for a while and savor the delicious food. Good choices - something for everyone - meat, chicken, fish, and vegetarian. Truffle fries are a nice touch. We had very attentive service.
We had 5:30 reservations before going to see Book of Mormon. We were seated promptly, the service was very good, and the food was delicious.
They are friendly, efficient, care about our dining experience and after several visits, I can say they are perfect at timeliness before a play at the Orpheus, or even golden gate theater.
We had a nice time (again) at Market Street Grill. The location is perfect across the street from the Orpheum Theater and the staff works hard to get your meal out in time for you to attend a show. The salads and all our entrees' were excellent. The Lobster Mac and Cheese and Salmon entrees tasted fresh and flavorful. The chef is nice about accomodating special requests. Do not order dessert! It was clearly not house-made, and one item even had a slight taste of freezer burn. Wine selection is good and reasonably priced so you can afford a bottle with dinner.
Very convenient for dinner before a show at the Orpheum--my son loved the winter menu lamb chops-my new york steak was perfectly cooked--the mushroom ravioli is very good--a little pricey but expected in San Francisco--attentive service--
It was a lovely surprise to have the most delicious salmon entree I've ever had at Market St.Grill. It's a perfect pre and post Theater restaurant and one that would work for people trying to connect over a good meal. The historic aspect and decor were special. Our server was congenial and efficient. Very classy. I will be returning as will my friends.
Great for a really nice meal near the Orpheum Theatre
This is a wonderful place to go if you have tickets to see a show at the Orpheum Theater. It has wonderful food, close to the theater and the service is outstanding. They really make an effort to have the food served promptly so you can enjoy your meal and still make it to the show on time.
The restaurant is nice and quiet with good food but but slow service. However the location to the Orpheum and Golden Gate Theaters makes it a good choice for theater goers.
Having no previous knowledge of the Market Street Grill, I was drawn to this restaurant by its location to the Orpheum Theatre. It was also a special occasion--my daughter's 25th birthday, so I wanted it to be special. The choice did not disappoint. We were given a great table, we both enjoyed our entrees, and the service was prompt and efficient. No stress or worries about getting to the show on time. I will definitely be a returning customer.
Nice, quiet , old-style SF hotel restaurant. The clam chowder was excellent but could have been hotter. The spaghetti with sausage was too hot, in a different way--extra spicy. The wild mushroom ravioli was also excellent. Short menu for lunch. The service was very timely and friendly.
Perfect location for pre-theater dinner when going to The Orpheum.
Good food, nice menu, nice ambience, very good service and very convenient to the Orpheum Theater. Wait staff was extremely accommodating with food substitutions and allowing us to linger until our scheduled theater performance. The night we went it was packed.
We were in SF to see a show at the Orpheum and to have lunch. The waiter was awesome, he made sure that we were out on time even though a couple showed up late - he recommended what could be served in a timely manner. He did not rush us but was courteous and prompt. The food was very good and reasonably priced. The ambience is always good. We always enjoy coming here when we have theatre tix at the Orpheum.
The Market Street Grill is right across the street from the Orpheum Theater. There aren't a lot of choices in that area, but fortunately this is a good one. A group of four of us went before a show. They have a three-course pre-theater special that includes a beef stew. My wife had the stew and noted that it was very thick, just the way she likes it. The rest of us enjoyed our meal as well.
We were going to see Book of Mormon, wanted a place to eat before the show, but could not get there before 7:00 PM and the show was at 8:00 PM. They seated us immediately on arrival, the waiter asked if we were going to the show and took care of us immediately, menus drinks etc. We had a great dinner and were on our way to the theater by 7:40 PM. More importantly, the food was excellent and the service fantastic. I will go there again the next time we have tickets; it's right across the street from the theater.

I would have had no problem punching that cunt in the face.
"don't make me assume my ultimate form"
wow, i'm using that one.
wait. it's fucking dark at 10:30am. is this in alaska? and i thought they started serving lunch at that time anyway. bitch might have a point.
In my younger years, I probably would have stuck my dick in that.
Love the crazy ones.
Manager "close that shit" What kind of language is that for The manager of a restaurant trying to set a good example to employees.
Guess I'm going to have to try those McNuggets
Fake, dubbed audio - this is so dumb.
The mistake was serving her the caffeinated coffee FIRST.
Cracka's love dey chicken.
wow that was scary
it only lasted a minute but it seemed like forever.
Not fake. The audio may be out of sync with the video but it happened. The incident took place on Jan 1,2010 so its not exactly new. She ended up getting convicted of assault and vandalism, got 60 days in jail and fined $1500. She had been celebrating New Years just a bit too much and really really wanted some damn McNuggets. It happened shortly after 6am, that is why its dark. The 10:30 reference is to when they start serving McNuggets.
Did the people in the next car get their order?

Performance ManagementIs there a performance review process for staff and administrators? Yes. In order to ensure that all employees have clear objectives and an understanding of what is expected, managers review their performance formally once a year and informally at mid-cycle and throughout the year. At St. John's, we call our performance management system Partnership for Performance (PFP). The cycle runs from June through May each year and all full and part time administrators and full time staff employees are included. Part time staff will be eligible effective June 1, 2009.How can I learn more about the performance review process? For more information, refer to policy #202 in the HR Policy Manual, or click on the appropriate link below to access the PFP Review form. PFP training is offered for employees and for supervisors. View the Training Calendar or register here.PFP Leader FormPFP Employee Form What should I do if my manager has not met with me to discuss my performance review? We recommend that you ask your manager when you can expect your performance review. If your manager hasn't received a 'PFP Manager Toolkit', he or she should contact HR Services.
Should I complete a Self-Assessment and submit it to my manager at the end of the cycle? Yes. While it's not required, we recommend that every employee complete a Self-Assessment on the actual PFP form and submit it to their manager at the completion of each PFP cycle (at the end of May each year). This gives the employee an opportunity to actively play a part in the process.ResignationIf someone on my staff resigns, what must I do? Contact HR Services, send the resignation letter and PCF to HR Services. HR Services will forward the forms to Payroll for processing and contact the employee for an Exit Interview. Refer to policy #125, Separation from Employment in the HR Policy Manual for a supervisor's responsibilities when an employee terminates.When an employee leaves, what do I do with his/her keys, equipment, ID Cards and Parking Pass? Keys and parking passes should be returned to Public Safety. The ID card should be sent to the Storm Card Center with a note explaining that the employee has terminated. All computer and telecommunication equipment that belongs to the University (such as laptop, pager, cell phone, etc) should be retrieved from the employee and kept in the department or returned to Information Technology, as appropriate. If you need access to your former employee's hard drive or email, please contact HR Services who will then work with IT. What happens with the information that is collected during the Exit Interviews? Responses to the Exit Interview Questionnaire are maintained in a confidential file. Responses are tracked on an aggregate department-level basis for the purpose of assessing trends to strengthen employee retention efforts.Employment VerificationsWhat should I do if I receive a call to verify employment for an active or former employee? It is the University's policy to verify only job title and dates of employment. Salary information will be verified only with the employee's written authorization and signature. It is against University policy to provide references or verifications for your employees. If you get a call or receive a fax requesting employment verification, please refer the call as follows:
Tuition RemissionHow do I know if I am eligible for Tuition Remission? All full time administrators and staff are eligible for Tuition Remission. The spouse, qualifying children or eligible designee of full-time administrators and staff are also eligible to receive this benefit.

During the first five years of employment, staff employees accrue vacation days at a rate of .83 days per month, a total of 10 days per year. Staff employees with greater than 5 years of employment, should refer to the Employee Handbook for their accrual rate.

"I stayed at the High Hill Inn for two days in October 2013. I experienced a beautiful indian summer, gaining the best from the Fall Foliage season. The High Hill Inn is really comfortable, clean, tidy and with a magnificent view. No worries about the shared bathroom, it was so clean and tidy that I felt at home. You can also enjoy a delicious breakfast every morning, in particular Ann-Marie is very keen about healthy and organic food. So, you can be sure to eat and drink the best. The B&B is very close to the city centre. Unfortunately I was travelling without a car ( in the city there were very few taxis), but the Ann-Marie and Joe was so kind to take me and pick me up every day for a very nominal price. They was very kind with me and make my journey very comfortable. Thus, I can recommend this B&B very strongly to all that are planning a pleasant trip to Vermont and this capitol city. Personally, I hope to be back in the near future. So, enjoy your stay!"

A declaration of symphonic independence!
Today's selection in our week-long afternoon series of Great American Symphonies begins with a near-quote from Dvořák's "New World" (premiered in Carnegie Hall) and ends with a Bronx Cheer (perfected at Yankee Stadium). Along the way, it evokes fifes & drums, brass bands, barn dances and cozy parlors. You'll hear echoes, if not outright quotations, of "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," "Long, Long Ago," "Camptown Races," "America the Beautiful" and "Reveille." European in form, the content is 100% U.S. Grade A American. Optimistic, brash, at times sentimental to the point of corniness, it confronts no Hugely Significant Ideas, as do later works in the form, not to mention later works by its composer, but tells a story as timeless and ingenuous as "Tom Sawyer" and "Little Women." Speaking of its composer, he was a 28-year old church organist when he completed most of the work on it, but continued to fiddle with it during and after his successful career as an insurance executive. Hardly as audacious as his more ear-stretching works, it still waited decades for its premiere, by which time the composer, then in his late-seventies, was too frail to attend, though he listened on the radio, and was said to have done a dance of vindication when he heard the huge ovation that followed. Could it be The Great American Symphony? Probably not. But I don't mind saying that it's My Favorite American Symphony. And it might turn out to be yours, too, if you tune in just before 1:00 this afternoon for the Symphony No. 2 by that visionary Connecticut Yankee of classical music, Charles Edward Ives.

Spring has sprung here in the U.S. The days are warm, sunny and gorgeous with lovely blooms and blossoms springing up here, there and everywhere ...........
One of the quintessential signs of spring at it's peak, in our southeastern corner of the country, is the short, but gloriously sweet season of local strawberries. One bite of a bright red, juicy strawberry - farm-picked just hours before, makes you realize that the store-bought variety you've been eating for the past few months .......... well, perhaps they weren't really strawberries after all.
I love to capture this delightful essence of spring in glass jars stored in my freezer. On short, dark and dreary winter days, all I have to do is pull out a jar of this scarlet sunshine and I am instantly transported to brighter days. Because freezer jam isn't simmered on the stovetop, it explodes with fresh vibrant flavor and color, unlike the traditional, cooked variety.
There is one drawback to freezer jam; sometimes, because it's not cooked, it can tend to be a bit grainy. Over the years, I've developed a few simple steps to overcome this problem; a bit of extra stirring and a two minute stint in the microwave helps dissolve the sugar without dulling the flavor and color. If you've never made freezer jam you REALY need to try this - I promise you won't be disappointed!
P.S. See the largest jar of jam in the pictures? I guarantee my son will be snagging that one on one of his "freezer raids"! :) (Don't tell him, but actually, I made that one just for the dear guy!)
Springtime in a Jar - Delicious Strawberry Freezer Jam
2 cups crushed fresh strawberries, about 1 quart
4 cups granulated white sugar
1 pouch liquid fruit pectin (I use Certo which is readily available at most supermarkets. At times it can be hard to find. I usually just ask at the front desk since every store seems to keep it in a different area.)
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1. Wash and rinse glass* or plastic containers and lids in the dishwasher or with hot soapy water. Dry thoroughly. Measure exactly* 4 cups of sugar into a medium size bowl.
2. Stem and crush strawberries. Don't try to use a blender or food processor for this step as you want some small pieces of strawberry to remain (I like to use a potato masher for this step). Measure exactly** 2 cups prepared fruit into large microwave-safe bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 20 min., stirring occasionally.
3. After the 20 minutes, stir mixture for 3 minutes*** then place in microwave on high for 2 minutes. Mixture will not cook but will become warm enough for sugar to dissolve. Remove from microwave and stir continuously for 2 minutes***.
4. Combine liquid pectin and lemon juice in a small bowl. Add to strawberry mixture; stir 3 minutes.
5. This is the hard part :) - take a taste to make sure the sugar is dissolved. If it still tastes a bit grainy stir for another minute or two until almost all sugar is dissolved.
6. Fill containers immediately (you don't want jam to start to "set" before you get it into the jars) to within 1/2 inch of top- don't fill any higher as mixture will expand a bit in the freezer. Wipe off top edges of containers and cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. (I love the look of beautiful, vibrant red jam stacked up on my kitchen counter - call me old-fashioned, but there's something about it that makes me smile.) Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator.
