Just heard news that our Le Cordon Bleu school is closing after next graduation. That really sucks! It brought jobs, youth, and a continuous crop of fresh young chefs to our area...and a flood of up-start restaurants with EXCELLENT fair and good prices.Quote:

Grading on the curve is fine as long as the questions are hard enough that no one gets 100% correct.Quote:

Only someone who never scored 100% would say something like that! :(

They told us that they cannot make the product profitable enough to remain open. The Korean companies (LG, Samsung, Kenmore) own 70% of the US market, leaving 30% for the rest of us, including the big guys, like Maytag and Whirlpool. They aren't shipping our jobs overseas, just getting out of the market because we can't compete with cheap overseas labor. Something just doesn't seem right about that...
What a bummer!!!!!! Guess you will not be reading the investment page, though I did when I didn't have any money. Good luck in your job search & remember, you paid for your state's UE benefits. But not for the Federal extensions. Some on this forum can't separate the two!!!!!!!!!!!Quote:

Ducknwork, I will be praying for a speedy job offer for you. God Bless.Quote:
