I thought this was a fun trip down memory lane. Thanks Amanda! Enjoy. ~Slow
There isn't much to talk about this week besides the terrific news that Maddon will be sticking with us for another three years. So in order to keep your attention, we decided to showcase a rarely ranked statistic: top Rays base stealer from 2000 until now. These guys made just about every opposing baseman think twice about not wearing a knee brace. Some names are no surprise, while others may make you wistful for the days when speed and stealth were necessary components of the Rays offensive strategy.
Despite torn ligaments and other injuries that plagued him off and on throughout his time with the Rays, Baldelli managed to live up to the hype that went so far as to call him the next Joe DiMaggio. In his six seasons in Tampa between 2003 and 2010, he was able to nab an extra 59 bases under the noses of opposing teams.
Bartlett's aggressive risk taking when he wore a Rays cap will be something fans of the last decade will remember for sometime. In three short seasons between 2008 and 2010, he was able to steal a total of 61 bases, and could have stolen more than 20 more for us if he hadn't gone to San Diego. It went well with that .286 batting average he carried while playing for us.
Lugo has spent his career moving around from team to team – playing for the Rays four seasons but only three consecutively, between 2003 and 2006. In those four seasons, he managed to steal a grand total of 88 bases, which amounts to more than 40% of his career stolen bases. In doing so, he secured his spot as the number three leader in Rays stolen bases over the last twelve years.
Here come the no surprises. In seven seasons with the Rays, powerhouse B.J. Upton has managed to top off his outstanding all-around career with an impressive 201 stolen bases. Between 2008 and 2010 alone he stole 128 bases, which has helped to beef up his already stellar 369 career RBIs. With many seasons left in him Upton is sure to rank as an all-time Rays base stealer among many other franchise achievements.
Base burglar extraordinaire Carl Crawford clearly takes the cake when it comes to top Tampa Bay base stealers. In 9 seasons with the Rays, the Houston native had successfully stolen 409 bases. In 2009, Crawford broke his personal record of 59 stolen bases in a single season with 60, and tied the major league record of number of stolen bases in a single game, with six. Needless to say, seeing Crawford in a Red Sox uniform is a sad sight to behold.
Base stealing used to be a core aspect of Rays offensive strategy, but has fallen out of favor in recent years. With Maddon on board for another three seasons at least, here's to hoping we see a return to speed and stealth taking on a larger role in securing Rays wins.

Information for International StudentsThis page is designed to provide information for international students once they have been accepted at LEC, and after they have received their I-20 form and gotten their visa. If you are an international student interested in applying at Lake Erie, please see here.
Congratulations! You've been accepted, you've received your I-20, and the international student adviser has pre-registered you for a class schedule tailored to your major, but now what do you do?
Arrival information
- As outlined in your admissions packet, you should make sure that you have also applied for housing and health insurance. If you need another copy of this information, see here for housing and related forms. For health insurance, we do not have a single approved provider, but we can recommend several companies. These include but aren't limited to: travel insure, ISOA, and compass benefit. For more information on what is required, see your student information packet, or email
- Lake Erie College conducts airport pickups for incoming international students. Part of your international student fee goes to fund this service. However, due to the number of students we receive each semester, we designate two or three pickup dates. At least one pickup date is designed to accommodate athletes or others arriving early on campus, while one pickup is scheduled for a few days before the start of the semester. This website will be updated with the pickup dates no later than early July; the information is also included in the packet you received with your I-20. Students choosing to arrive on dates other than the approved pickup dates must make their own arrangements to get to Lake Erie College. Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on these possibilities.
- Once you are on campus, you are required to attend international student orientation. This normally takes place the weekend before classes begin, and lasts two days. During this session, we cover visa regulations, College Policies, go shopping for necessities, and have a dinner together so all international students can meet each other.
Maintaining Visa StatusOnce on campus and underway with your studies, you should make sure you do the following.
- You need to verify your attendance with one of the government approved Designated Service Officers on campus. These include Jonathan Klein, Barbara Arilson, and Amanda Fordyce, all of whom have offices on the first floor of College Hall. This is especially important if for some reason you cannot attend international orientation. These individuals will then mark you as present with the Federal Government's Department of Homeland Security. THIS MUST BE DONE AT THE START OF EVERY SEMESTER, WITHIN A WEEK OF CLASSES BEGINNING!
- You must also report any change in major, financial information, or personal information (phone number, address, marital status, etc.) to one of the people listed above.
- At least once per year (usually in April or May before leaving for the summer, if you go home) you must have one of the individuals above sign your I-20. If your I-20 isn't signed once per year, you will not be let back into the country!
Any form of employment requires you to obtain a U.S. Social Security Card and U.S. bank account. Obtaining a Social Security Card is easy! To do so you must:
- Be in the country for 10 days.
- Once you meet that requirement, you must get an authorization letter from one of the Designated Service Officers (Jonathan Klein, Barb Arilson, or Amanda Fordyce).
- Complete the Social Security Card application available at here.
- Take the application, letter of authorization, and 2 forms of identification to the nearest Social Security Office. This is located at 55 West Jackson Street, and is within walking distance from campus.
- Once approved, the card will be mailed to you within 10-14 business days.
Many banks are within walking distance of campus, and information on them is passed out during orientation. PNC Bank, First Merit, Huntington, and Keybank are all within walking distance of campus; however, Fifth Third Bank maintains an ATM (Automatic Teller Machine) in Holden Center. If you don't want to walk to the bank, withdrawing money from this machine is without fees only if you are a Fifth Third member. The nearest branch office is located at 6675 Center Street, in Mentor, near the Mentor shopping mall. The Laketran bus that stops outside of the College stops at the mall.
Once a social security card and bank account are obtained, the following opportunities are available.
1. On campus employment. This is by far the most common form of employment undertaken by international students. Students should observe the following:
1. On campus employment. This is by far the most common form of employment undertaken by international students. Students should observe the following:
Do not count on on-campus employment being available as part of your financial calculation for ability to live in the U.S. and study at Lake Erie. While a number of jobs are available, many are filled early in the semester, before international students gain their social security number and bank account.
- For available positions see here.
- On campus employment is limited to 20 hours per week. Most jobs do not offer a full 20 hours per week.
2. Off campus employment with Optional Practical Training. This is the second most common form of employment undertaken by international students.
- Students must be in the United States for one year before this option is available.
- Employment must be related to a student's course of study directly.
- This employment is available for 12 months only, either in part (a few months a year for several years) or all at once, post-graduation.
- To apply for this employment, students must fill out and file a form I-765 with the U.S. government, available here.
- This form must be brought to one of the Designated Service Officers; the Officer will then update the I-20 authorizing employment.
- There is a fee associated with this application; currently it is $380.
- A job offer and company must already be in hand to apply for this employment.
- This employment is off-campus.
- The approval for this employment takes a minimum of 3 months.
- Students may work 20 hours per week during the semester or 40 hours per week during summer break or post-graduation.
4. Financial hardship. This option is rare, and requires students to demonstrate a significant change in his or her financial situation during the course of study. If this situation applies to you, please see the International Student Advisor or one of the Designated Service Officers for more information.
On these bus routes, students can reach local stores such as Target, Wal-Mart, Giant Eagle, and the Mentor Mall, as well as banks, restaurants, pharmacies, etc.
Students purchasing cars must be aware that in the United States, driver's insurance is required. This can be purchased from any insurance retailer. Additionally, students must pay all costs for car licensing, parking passes, etc., before they will be permitted to bring their car on campus.

Motion Controller
Intellect Motion shows off new motion-sensing gaming devices
While opinions are divided on how video games affect young minds, one thing seems to be definite – spending a lot of time playing sit-down games makes kids fat. Fortunately, gaming systems like Wii and Kinect are getting players active. Now, motion capture and medical diagnostics company Intellect Motion hopes to take that trend farther, with a line of active gaming products aimed at keeping children fit. Read More
Having already joined the motion control party by partnering with PrimeSense, the company behind Microsoft's Kinect, ASUS is now partnering with Leap Motion, the company responsible for a sensor that enables full control of a PC or Mac using hand and finger gestures. The 3D motion control tech will be bundled with selected ASUS' high-end notebooks and All-in-One (AiO) PCs by the end of 2013. Read More
Victoria's Secret model plays with Angry Birds
Samsung gave journalists attending this year's IFA a treat with an appearance by Victoria's Secret model Angela Bellotte. Hot models on stage with her included the Samsung 75-inch ES9000 LED Smart 3D TV and the ES9500 55-inch OLED TV. Bellotte demoed the gesture-controlled version of Angry Birds that's included on the ES9000, and took part in Samsung's introduction of the new Multi View feature on the ES9500. Read More
Pico projectors might be able to turn any old surface into a display – with varying results of course – but can they turn any old surface into in interactive display and everyday objects into a remote? No? Well, with LightBeam they can. Developed by a team at Germany's Technische Universität Darmstadt, LightBeam pairs a pico projector with a depth-sensing camera to provide some Kinect style interactive control to projected presentations. Read More
As evidenced by the popularity of motion controlled fitness games ushered in by the Wii and followed by the PlayStation Move and Kinect, so called "exergaming" - the combining of exercise and video games - is a field that has grown rapidly in popularity in recent years. But if you don't want to shell out for a new console and already have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, as well as a treadmill, elliptical machine or exercise bike laying about, then the new Fit Freeway app is designed to make working up a sweat a bit more fun. Read More
When Microsoft asked gamers to get off the couch and get moving with the release of the Kinect motion controller in 2010, it's doubtful that zooming around the streets at speeds of up to 32 mph (51 km/h) was the kind of movement they had in mind. But as we've seen ever since unofficial open source drivers hit the Internet in 2010 and Microsoft came to the party with its official Kinect for Windows SDK last year, the Kinect has proven to be a remarkably flexible device. That flexibility now extends to a motion control interface for a motorized electric skateboard modestly dubbed by its creators, the "Board of Awesomeness." Read More
Microsoft's about-face in relation to the "modification of its products" – specifically its Kinect sensor – is complete with the company releasing the official Kinect for Windows SDK beta. When the motion controller was initially released and hackers set about creating open source drivers for the device, Microsoft responded saying it didn't condone such actions. But it has since changed its tune, even going so far as to invite a group of developers to its Redmond campus for a live 24-hour coding marathon to build concept applications using the SDK. Read More
The Nintendo Wii U revealed
Nintendo took the wraps off its new Wii U console at E3 today, sporting a controller as unique as we've come to expect from the company that brought us the Wii and the DS. With a 6.2" touchscreen, dual-analog sticks, D-pad, four face buttons, four triggers, front-facing camera, microphone, and motion controls (gyroscope and accelerometer), it's safe to say we'll see some innovative game mechanics invented to make full use of this thing. Read More
Razer Hydra brings motion control to PC gamers
While motion controllers are becoming a staple for console gamers with the release of the Wii, PlayStation Move and Microsoft Kinect, PC gamers have been left wanting. Razer is looking to change that with its Hydra motion controller which has been developed specifically for PC gamers. Unlike other console-based motion control systems, the Hydra uses magnetic tracking technology by way of a base station that emits a magnetic field that Razer says allows the exact location and orientation of the handheld controllers to be detected with millimeter and degree accuracy. Read More
Motion controlled videogaming, ushered in by Nintendo's Wii and joined by the PlayStation Move and Kinect, has opened up a whole new market of casual gamers – not least of all because of the ease with which previous non-gamers can get into the action without the need to learn complicated button layouts on a traditional controller. Educational toy company Comfy figured that such ease of use is ideal for its target audience of kids aged four to eight and has released a motion controlled education game console called iCam that has been dubbed "the baby Wii."

- Fine to dineadchotinVIPDined on 8/23/2014Sam's had been around for more than 40 years but out certainly doesn't show it's age. The setting (in a marina development) allows you to have a view of boats and water while eating good (but not outstanding) good. The menu is not one of the 20 page types but does contain land, air and sea entries of sufficient quantity to give everyone a choice. The good is well prepared and the service attentive. A local favorite.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RickDined on 8/16/2014Food was good but not great. Service was slow. For the price of the meal, I expected better service.Special Features:
- great on the water diningOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/9/2014We ate outside and watched the boats coming and going. The waiter (Chris) was great. My mai tai rivaled the ones I get in Maui and our crabcake sandwich (mine) and Kobe burger (his) were very tasty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Not great but not bad at alltt33Dined on 8/3/2014Took my mom here for her birthday with my sister. I'm sure she enjoyed it more than me (which is a good thing). Overall the restaurant is okay. It did have a strange smell, but I attribute that to the restaurant's close vicinity to the waterfront. The carpet really needs a good cleaning. My appetizer plate and my fork were dirty. I didn't really enjoy what I ordered (stuffed french toast), it was okay I guess... but I had some of what my mom had (the crab cake) and it was delicious. The waitress was very nice and the service was good.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/2/2014Food was OK, nothing that stood out. Extremely loud.Special Features:
- Disappointing EveningWarrenDined on 8/2/2014Had reservations for dinner with friends at 7:30 Saturday night. After being seated it took an inordinate amount of time to be served. There were clearly to few staff waiting tables and in the kitchen. Apparently the dishwashers wre otherwise engaged as my bourbon arrived in a tumbler. The food, when it arrived was OK, but the experience cast some doubt on my choice of restaurant. I will not hurry back.
- Worst Dinner in AnnapolisOpenTable Diner Since 2004VIPDined on 8/2/2014Last night 4 of us had dinner at Sams. Not only was the service awful, but the food was inedible - when they actually brought it. We ordered 4 appetizers - only to receive 3. Later were told we could have the 4th AFTER DINNER IF WE STILL WANTED IT. Tuna was swimming in poorly prepared slop and totally disgusting. I've had better food, better prepared and presented at a diner. Our waitress was clueless and totally unaware. One salad came without dressing and drinks were beyond difficult to come by. The acoustics were awful - you could barely hear someone inches away and the manager never even asked how we were doing when it was obvious we were very unhappy. The place is dated and looks in need of an update and felt dirty.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/29/2014Service started out great but after our appetizers were served, it appeared we were forgotten. 2 tables adjacent to us came in after us and had their complete meal before our entree was served.
- Step BackwardsOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 7/18/2014Start with good. Immediate seating and scallops were fresh and tasty. Waitress was not wine knowledgeable. A long introduction for the special menu for the evening and then when ordered, pork, they were out of it. Ordered crab cakes from menu and they were out of them. Settled on a strip steak that was probably the worst piece of meat that I have ever had...almost inedible because of gristle and overcooked. A second steak was presented which was a small portion, very thin and again overcooked. Something has happened to the quality of service at Sam's, something that has taken it off of my nighttime favorites. With the service and quality of food, at least they should have offered some deduction on meal cost, which they didn't!Special Features:
- Pretty Setting, Nice StaffNJaiVIPDined on 7/6/2014That is about all I can say for this establishment. They have a lot of work to do in their kitchen. We went for brunch, and my food came out cold (literally, below room temperature), my husband's was missing an ingredient (sausage, how do you do that?), and my son's crepes just didn't taste good (probably the least of our problems). The staff was very accommodating in trying to fix everything, but it was a little ridiculous after a while (there were more smaller problems). All in all, while it was a nice location, we won't be back.Special Features:
- Not a Sam's fanOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/22/2014My husband and I took a friend for Sunday brunch. I used the online reservation option, which was easy and worked great. We arrived at Sam's earlier than the reservation time, but were able to be seated immediately. Although the view from the dining area was nice and the atmosphere pleasant, it did not make up for the extremely poor service and average food. When we saw our server, which was rare, we had to ask for coffee refills on three different occasions. Our food took no less than 40 minutes to arrive after ordering. The place didn't even seem that busy. Lots of open tables around us. Our food was decent, but definitely not worth the price. Poor service + average food + high prices = go someplace else for brunch.Special Features:
- A disappointmentGrendelDined on 6/22/2014The view was not what we expected from the website and the food was bland and completely indistinguished. The restaurant was loud and made conversation harder than needed to be for brunch. The maître di seemed bored. Our server was quite nice and pleasant. My recommendation, don't go, there are much better places in Annapolis
- WonderfulOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 6/21/2014Wonderful dinner from beginning to end. Crab cakes and Rockfish were excellent!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Bad choice....spetzoldDined on 6/15/2014I took my husband there for Father's Day and it was our first time there; and last. It took almost two hours to get our good and not once did anyone try and smooth it over with an explanation. When the food arrived it was over cooked and only then was an apology offered; no explanation. Terrible service and food.
- Sam's for lunchNickDined on 6/14/2014Had lunch at Sam's, lovely view, competent staff however the lobster roll had no taste, the cole slaw was warm. Special of the day was good, a filet sandwich and soup. Might try again, but not the lobster roll!Special Features:
- Sam's ExperienceEMillerDined on 6/7/2014I was nervous that they wouldn't take a reservation for outdoor seating but they were more than accommodating. We had 5 adults and a high chair. Great table, good server and the food was awesome. We had never been there before but we will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Disappointing BrunchMSBowlVIPDined on 6/1/2014We have been to Sam's many times for dinner, and have always found the food and service to be consistently good. Sunday, we took some friends for Brunch. Unfortunately, this experience was disappointing. I ordered the Chef's omelet (spinach, bacon and swiss). My omelet arrived instead with spinach, mushrooms and swiss. I do not eat mushrooms, and explained to our waiter that my omelet was to have bacon, not mushrooms. He takes my plate and returns promptly with bacon tucked into the fold of my omelet. I immediately showed him that the mushrooms were still there, and I would not eat something I didn't order. Finally, it was corrected. Our friends ordered "Sam's Signature Crab Benedict". The only crab was sprinkled lightly on top.Special Features:
- BillDined on 5/31/2014Ordered Kobe burger medium rare and got well done. Never saw waiter until meal was over.Special Features:
- Not so goodJDaaDined on 5/30/2014Extremely tough steak served with tasteless salad and fresh out of the bag fries. Lobster roll okay. Boring oysters on half shell with entirely too much horseradish. Over priced wines. Will return for drinks only,Special Features:
- Service Is HorribleFoodieDined on 5/24/2014Servers are terrible and the GM has no idea how to run a restaurant. Menu selection is quite limited and what is offered is mediocre at best. Go somewhere else!!!Special Features:
- Better Than EverNaptownnannyDined on 5/24/2014If possible the food is better than ever at Sam's. We were seated promptly ( even though it was Commissioning Week). The service was impeccable but not intrusive. My husband ordered the Scallops Napoleon and I couldn't resist ordering the Shrimp and Grits. Both dishes were obviously prepared with skill and care. A great place to dine and enjoy the view.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- John RichardsTNT1961Dined on 5/18/2014Restaurant was quiet and nice inside and out. Tables were set well. Shrimp was undercooked, steak and scallops were also undercooked and server forgot to bring my wife's beer. Check was a little over 100.00. It was OK to try but do not think we will return there. Not a very good value for what you receive as far as food.Special Features:
- SamsOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 5/18/2014We had a reservation but still waited at the hostess station for 15 minutes while they "re-set" out table. There were several large groups in the restaurant and it was extremely loud. My group enjoyed the choolate chip muffins that ame out. The servie was a bit slow, food was fair, and my eggs benedict was barely warm.Special Features:
- Pay attention on holidaysMothersDayDined on 5/11/2014Sorry most places allow for regular menu ordering when food allergies or kids are involved. Prix Fixe here means you have no other options, "not for the kids not for an allergy" as the waiter let me know. That being said the food we did get was great. The service, with the exception of the attitude around the Prix Fixe menu discussion were OK. The host on mothers day could have been more accommodating. Also when they tell you that they don't pay attention tot he notes in Open Table, that is a clear concern. Not a great experience, but the food was good.Special Features:
- Enjoyed itFoodhoundDined on 5/11/2014We liked our Mother's Day brunch experience at Sam's. Food was good, and were seated at a table right next to the window so we had an unobstructed view of the waterfront outside. We were seated right on time with our reservation and the service was good overall and the people very friendly. That said, it took a longer time than expected for the food to come out, but i think that was due to the crush of demand on Mother's Day, the busiest restaurant day of the year. Overall, we were pleased with the experience and would do so again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day lunchCnclove2dineDined on 5/11/2014The views were wonderful. The drinks were alright, but I ordered a club soda and never received it. Our first course (salad and butternut squash soup) was very good. The main course was alright, but could have been better. Lots of shells in the crab cakes and I requested my steak cooked medium and it was between medium-well and well done. Still tasty, but not what I requested. Dessert was ok, but again, could have been better. We both ordered crême brûlée (my mom's favorite) but the sugar crust on top tasted burnt and the cream was watery at the bottom of the cup. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch, but it could have been better. Hopefully the issues were only because it was a busy day; worth a shot for the view but the food was just ok.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Mother's Day BrunchOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/11/2014I was so excited about dining at Sam's for Mother's Day. I must say that I was extremely disappointed. I thought the service was rote and the food was unappealing and sub-par. I had the crepes and while they were beautifully presented, they were cold and dry. They were only saved by our request of syrup. The "assortment of breakfast breads" consisted of two stale mini danishes cut in half along with some fruit. Our waiter seemed totally unexcited about waiting on us and was not terribly attentive. While I think the view is unbelievable, that is certainly not reason enough for me to return. While I realize it is an extremely busy day for all restaurants, a little extra care goes a long way in ensuring repeat business.Special Features:
- Just okayChocoDined on 5/11/2014The food left a lot to be desired. It was not that tasty at all. The restaurant is nice, especially if you like sitting outdoors. May be okay for happy hour when you're probably not looking for a great culinary experience.Special Features:
- DisappointmentAnnapolitan211Dined on 5/11/2014We went to Sam's on the Waterfront for Mother's Day brunch. The menu for the day was fixed price. The first course was one small plate with a few pieces of fruit and a cold cinnamon roll cut into halves or thirds. This was to be shared by three people. For the main course, I ordered an omelet, which was passable. My wife ordered berry crepes. Her meal consisted of cold crepes with blueberries and strawberries tossed inside. That was it. For dessert, I ordered a chocolate caramel cake and my wife ordered a strawberry pie, which we took to go. At home, we discovered my cake was the size of a golfball, and her "pie" was a gelatinous mass of mashed berries tossed into a carton -- no pie crust or anything recognizable as a complete dessert.Special Features:
- first visitjazzVIPDined on 5/10/2014The service was very friendly. The location is pleasant. The food was terrible: poorly/over cooked, served cold, undercooked dessert. Overpriced.Special Features:
- The following 476 reviews are from the Sam's on the Waterfront reviews archive.
- Boats to dine byB2lunchVIPDined on 4/24/2014The view is fantastic ! Wether inside or outside on the deck, a hundred or more boats in the marina make the view very enjoyable. The white table cloth and blue water glasses add to the ambience. The food was presented in fine fashion. Stop in & enjoy.Special Features:
- DisappointmentsilverboxdinerDined on 4/20/2014This was our third Easter having brunch at Sam's - it was always such a great experience. This year the food was a big disappointment, the lamb and filet were tough and the vegetables (esp the potatoes) were undercooked. Also the service was slow, 15 minutes after being seated we still hadn't been approached by a server - I finally had to ask the manager to find out who our server was. Even after that the service was very slow. This was topped off by being charged a 20% automatic service charge for a party of 4 - understand it was a holiday - but 20% was a bit much. Had it been our usual Sam's experience I would have been happy to pay it - this time it left a bad taste in my mouth.Special Features:
- Easter Brunch - not sure I'd returnMCookDined on 4/20/2014Went to Sam's for Easter Brunch with a prix fixe at $25/person. A little pricey considering you only received 3 courses and no drinks included. The service was okay but when waitress was asked to bring bread to go with the omelet, the bread came after the omelet had been eaten. Shrimp and grits was okay but the grits were soupy, more like a stew than shrimp and grits. Crab Benedict was good but only lukewarm. Crepes w/berries was good. Overall, it was okay for a last minute reservation but I don't think we'll be returning anytime soon for another meal. The view was beautiful!Special Features:
- One of our favoritesVickiDined on 4/19/2014Sam's is one of our favorite places to dine. The food and the service have always been great. I am gluten intolerant and they have many gluten free options listed on the menu. Always a consistent experience at Sam's which brings us back about 6 times a year.Special Features:
- Nice ViewCmh75Dined on 4/19/2014View was nice but place is difficult to get to and far from main drag. Food is nothing special. Beer list was minimalSpecial Features:
- RockEaterVIPDined on 4/17/2014We had some of the best seafood on the way to a weekend on the Eastern Shore. The staff was friendly and the view was great. It is a bit off the beaten path in Annapolis but worth the drive.Special Features:
- First TimerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 4/13/2014What a wonderful setting for a restaurant. We went Sunday to celebrate a birthday and upon being seated were told the restaurant was out of shrimp, lobster, and another item. So with an already limited menu our selections were rather limited. The soup and salad was excellent and the Rock Fish was very good. Sam's is a bit out of the way and perhaps Sunday was not the best night to go.Special Features:
- Very BadMiamiVIPDined on 4/13/2014This place makes so many promises on their website and on their menu. Yet, it delivers very little of what they promise. The food is just mediocre. The service is even worse. We arrived at around noon and did not get out of there until 3 pm. How is that possible?! It is not located on a waterfront. It is located on a private dock with nothing really around but dirty water with boats parked around it. We were there on a Sunday. How can you not have a lobster if you have on your menu and you call yourself a restaurant on a waterfront. We were there around lunch time and they were not going to serve lunch until 3 pm that day. I would not recommend this place to anyone.
- Food is overpriced. The appetizerShirleyDined on 4/11/2014Food is overpriced. The appetizer was great and the dessert. The main course and salad were just OK. The service and scenic view are great. Not a value for the price. Lobster roll was full of celery. Everything is extra. House salad was $10.Special Features:
- . Great View, Great setting,marieDined on 4/10/2014. Great View, Great setting, Great service. Food was good but not exceptional. This is a great happy hour or Saturday/sunday afternoon lets get a drink and relax place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Smog Check Program
Consumer Assistance Program
The Consumer Assistance Program (CAP) offers two options to help California consumers whose vehicles fail their biennial (every other year) smog check.
- Repair Assistance Qualified motorists can receive up to $500 in emissions-related repairs through CAP's Repair Assistance Program.
- Vehicle Retirement The Vehicle Retirement Program is available to motorists who want to voluntarily retire their vehicle rather than repair it. Eligible consumers can receive $1000 in exchange for their vehicle; Income eligible applicants will receive $1500.
BAR's Enforcement team investigates general auto repair complaints and ensures that shops comply with Smog Check statutes. Each year BAR handles more than 14,800 complaints relating to auto repair and/or Smog Check inspections. BAR staff checks out every complaint and negotiates with the shop on the consumer's behalf to achieve a mutual agreeable resolution. The bulk of complaints are resolved by mediation. Each year BAR returns over $6.3 million to California consumers in the form of direct refunds, rework, or adjustments.
Directed Vehicles
In order to comply with state law, the California Department of Consumer Affairs/Bureau of Automotive Repair (DCA/BAR) directs a portion of the vehicles registered in Enhanced Smog Check Areas to Test-Only or Gold Shield stations. Enhanced Areas are those parts of the state with "serious", "severe", or "extreme" ozone pollution problems. Test-Only facilities are licensed Smog Check stations that, by law, are only allowed sell gas caps or to test cars; they cannot repair them. Directed Vehicles may receive their initial inspections at Gold Shield stations. Any needed repairs must be performed at a Smog Check station designated either as a Test-Repair or Gold Shield station.Directed Vehicles
Fleet Operations
Government Fleets: Federal, State, County, City, and Special District agencies are required to participate in the Smog Check Program. The Federal Clean Air Act and the California Health and Safety Code, Section 44019, mandates that all affected vehicles receive a smog check inspection. These requirements include vehicles classified as emergency equipment. For a description of an affected vehicle see the "Information Sheet" in the Resources column to the right. Smog testing of vehicles owned by the Federal Government are addressed in ET Blast # 10641. For testing vehicles owned by Military Personnel refer to ET Blast # 10661.
This unit deals with other agency requirements. This entails inspecting agencies for compliance with:
- Vehicle test records retention
- Vehicle reporting records ( Annual Reporting Transmittal Form 79-21)
- Self-testing agency station equipment maintenance
- Technician qualification
- Informational presentations and workshops
Self-testing Business Fleets: This unit works with policy issues for two types of business fleets.
- Regular Business Fleets
- Permanent Fleet Registrants (PFR)
OBD II is an acronym for On-Board Diagnostics II, the second generation of on-board self-diagnostic equipment requirements for California vehicles. On-board diagnostic capabilities are incorporated into the hardware and software of a vehicle's on-board computer to monitor virtually every component that can affect emission performance. Each component is checked by a diagnostic routine to verify that it is functioning properly. If a problem or malfunction is detected, the OBD II system illuminates a warning light on the vehicle instrument panel to alert the driver. This warning light will typically display the phrase "Check Engine" or "Service Engine Soon". The system will also store important information about the detected malfunction so that a repair technician can accurately find and fix the problem.
STAR Program
Some vehicles require a Smog Check at a STAR station. STAR stations must meet specified performance standards established by BAR. Some STAR stations are licensed to perform only tests, while others are licensed to perform both tests and repairs. The station is required to post a sign on the services it performs.

I have one myself. Tried everywhere to get it cleaned and adjusted but they won't touch it because they can't get the parts.
At least it doesn't owe you anything.
Well I did send it off to Midwest last week, they indicated they could do a clean and check and possibly resolve the fog issue. They also said that if certain parts were required they likely would not have them and repair would not be possible. If that's the case I guess I'll just be out the postage.
I have yet to hear back from them on the verdict, I will keep you posted.

He didn't want to work hard, attributing his poverty to his parents.
In other words, you use "attributing to" not as a main verb, but as an adverbial phrase of modification.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger will start as expected, but Jay Glazer reported on FOX that the QB is still not feeling 100 percent healthy. He's still suffering from some of the effects of a bad high ankle sprain that he suffered a month ago. Roethlisberger probably hasn't helped himself heal quickly by playing two games on that badly sprained ankle.
Roethlisberger started on Dec. 19 against the San Fransisco 49ers immediately after spraining that ankle, and that proved to be a poor decision. He was very poor in that game as he struggled to make throws that are usually very simple for him, and then proceeded to sit out the next two games. Roethlisberger returned in Week 17 against the Cleveland Browns, but he still didn't look like himself.
Though Roethlisberger has proven through the years that he's very capable of playing hurt, the Steelers could struggle if he still can't make throws to the best of his ability. With Rashard Mendenhall out, the Steelers will rely on Roethlisberger to make accurate throws to move the ball even more than they do normally.

first of all, i have to say that i have had problems with my E7 from the day i bought it (crashes, hanging, wlan not disconnecting, UMTS usage sitting next to my router, and have sent it in to my mobile providers support center who hard-resettet it and claimed they had done repairs...nothing changed so i decided to wait until the Anna update before taking further Action, so yesterday i hooked up my pc, saw that Anna had been released and installed it via OVI suite.
Phone wouldnt boot up after the final restart of the Anna updater, kept resetting itself, could only boot it by taking out the sim card, did that and hard resetted it, then used ovi to reinstall anna, then hardresetted AGAIN, started setting up everything, phone was working fine, got to setting up my email widgets (mind i havent installed unstable 3rd party apps!) and crash. endless reboot cycle. WTH
has anyone come across this issue with the anna devices? constant rebooting immediately after loading the widgets on the first homescreen, and bootable without sim cards? any sim will crash the phone, has been tested, also offline mode with a sim inserted crashes.
greetings - Kevin
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hey I have the same problem it all started yesterday morning constant crashes keeps rebooting itself for no reasons. I did the Anna update on the 19th everything seems to work properly till yesterday. Did you find any solution? I'm thinking of sending my phone back to Nokia luckily I have my old N900 that I can use right now.
23-08-2011 13:31
I have a C7 and share with you the part of the problem: got notification about new Anna yesterday but I haven't been able to download it.
My understanding: guess they pushed-out the new Anna release but realized it has some mayor bug only the day after... then immediately blocked the release availability.
Typically and sadly very Nokia-of-these-days.

25-08-2011 1:53
well im sending mine back tomorrow, i had it running the whole day today, it just randomly booted up and stayed on sometime yesterday evening, now its broken again, managed to hard-reset it, but now the problem starts directly after installing the anna 1/2 and 2/2 updates in the swupdate program, i havent connected my email accounts, havent set up ovi sync, havent visited the store, nothing, i hard-reset, do the updates, select phone language, and after that everytime i restart the phone just crashes, COME ON i paid 500 euros for this pos, this srsly cant be happening.
25-08-2011 15:37
Solved: My Sim Card got killed by the Anna update, had it replaced at my phone providers shop and the phone works perfectly, im sure it was the Anna update, i never took it out and suddenly after the update the problem started.
25-08-2011 15:46

Recently I delivered over 7,000 petitions signed by registered Miami Beach voters to the city clerk's office. Joining me were supporters of Let Miami Beach Decide — a grassroots coalition that I chair. We are in favor of amending the city charter to require a referendum for the proposed mega development of the 52-acre Miami Beach Convention Center campus that must be approved with 60 percent support instead of a simple majority — the same percentage necessary to amend the Florida Constitution.
While we agree that renovating our aging and outdated convention center is vital to our long-term competitiveness in attracting business to our community, what is being proposed is simply corporate welfare.
Commissioners are being asked to award a contract to one of two finalists — Portman CMC or South Beach ACE. Miami Beach would be leasing the 52-acre campus to the selected developer for up to 99 years. The city would cede control of its most valuable land to an unaccountable private entity for a century.
If that sounds bad, it only gets worse.
Each developer has presented plans that are outside the scope of what's necessary. The proposals include a 17- or 18-story, 600-800 room hotel and new entertainment and retail space all without any new options for public transportation. An already congested area would become unmanageable by this new space. Furthermore, the entertainment and retail areas will also have a negative impact on small businesses at the Lincoln Road Mall.
The plan amounts to a second Marlins deal for our community only at a higher cost given that each proposal is estimated to cost upwards of $1 billion. We are selling our quality of life so a handful of people can make an enormous amount of money.
Instead of all this excessive development, our city's elected officials should be focusing on renovating the convention center. Thanks to the voter-approved bed tax increase, we have about $200 million available for that effort. Part of that comes from $55 million in general-obligation bond funds that have been available for 15 years. Let Miami Beach Decide is fighting for a responsible renovation that will not threaten to add more traffic, won't hurt small businesses, nor threaten the historical nature of our neighborhoods.
The bid process itself is worrisome. The solicitation for bids was crafted by former City Procurement Director Gus Lopez who was indicted last fall on charges of bribery, bid rigging and receiving illegal compensation in unrelated solicitations. The current bid should be rewritten by a new member of our procurement team and the process should start over.
Our message is simple: Voters should have the ultimate say in what happens.
Jonah Wolfson, commissioner, Miami Beach

With the June 4 election fast approaching, get ready to check your mailbox. Riverside will hold an all-by-mail election featuring council seats in four wards and, potentially, two hot ballot measures – referendums on the city's red light camera program and the long-standing transfer of money from the water fund to the general fund.
*This post has been updated to add planning commissioner Larry Allen as a candidate in Ward 6.
The Riverside City Council passed a resolution Jan. 15 calling for the June election, a routine procedural step but one worth noting because mail-in elections can have different dynamics and turnout than polling place elections.
Data provided by City Clerk Colleen Nicol shows there's no clear pattern in voter turnout based on whether voting is by mail or in person. Turnout most often seems to peak around 40 percent and bottom out in the high teens, but outliers include the (these days) overwhelming participation of nearly 67 percent in the mayoral runoff last November (at least partly attributable to the presidential contest) and the dismal interest level of 14.1 percent, seen in 1990 and 1992 during mail-in elections for runoffs in Ward 7 and Ward 3, respectively.
"It seems that turnout is more driven by what's on the ballot, the issues that are before the voters, rather than if its a polling place or mail-in election," Nicol said.
OK, so what will be on the June ballot? We know four council seats will be.
In Ward 2, Andy Melendrez is seeking a third term. So far no one has filed papers or publicly declared they'll challenge him, but the filing period doesn't open for a few weeks yet.
Ward 3 is on the ballot because previous councilman Rusty Bailey got himself elected mayor. The council appointed retired planning director Ken Gutierrez to fill the seat for now, but he has said he will not run. Declaring themselves in the race are retired CHP officer Mike Soubirous and Donald Hawecker, who's on the city's commission on disabilities.
Ward 4, which statistics show often has the highest voter turnout in council races, could be a contest between first-term Councilman Paul Davis and Ward 5 legislative aide Chuck Conder, and there could be other candidates as well.
Ward 6 Councilwoman Nancy Hart is retiring, but she's backing Riverside Metropolitan Museum board chairman Jim Perry to replace her. I'd be surprised if he runs unopposed, simply because not facing an incumbent helps level the playing field for a newcomer.
*Update: Disregard the previous sentence. Larry Allen, chairman of the city planning commission, said Friday he's definitely running in Ward 6.
As to ballot measures, we know red light cameras will be one of them, since the council voted in October to continue the program but place it before voters in June (page 3 of these meeting minutes, for those who care to look). Nothing has come to the council yet or been made public regarding exactly what the measure will say.
And city officials have confirmed the council will be having a discussion next month on how to address residents Vivian and Javier Moreno's lawsuit that contends the city's water fund transfer is illegal because it violates state Prop. 218. One way to deal with it would be a ballot measure asking residents to approve continuing the transfer, which pumps about $5 million a year into the general fund.
Nicol said if the council has a workshop on possible ballot measures, it would have to be held by Feb. 26, because only one council meeting follows in advance of the March 8 deadline to get measures to the Riverside County Registrar of Voters.
As always, let me know if you're planning to run for a council seat or have an opinion on any of the issues in this post. I'll be following all these topics as they develop.

Solgar - Multi-Chelated Boron 3 mg. - 100 Vegetarian Capsules
Boron is a trace mineral that plays an important role in calcium metabolism, helping to promote healthy bones and to support joint health. This formulation provides multiple chelated forms of this essential trace nutrient.
What is Boron?
Boron is a nonmetallic element present in the diet and in the human body in trace amounts. Whether boron is an essential nutrient for humans remains in debate.
Where is it found?
Raisins, prunes, and nuts are generally excellent sources of boron. Fruit (other than citrus), vegetables, and legumes also typically contain significant amounts. Actual amounts vary widely, depending upon boron levels in soil where the food is grown.
The History Says
Boron minerals, especially borax were traded more than thousand years ago. Then, sheep, camel and yak caravans transported borax from desert salt beds in Persia and Tibet to the Arab countries and also to India, mainly for making glass.
Solgar Multi-Chelated Boron Contains:

President Barack Obama will speak about strengthening the economy for the middle class during his visit to Asheville on Wednesday, according to The White House.
Obama will travel to the western North Carolina city a day after speaking to Congress during the annual State of the Union address.
The president will speak at Linamar Corporation to discuss proposals, which will be unveiled in his congressional address, that focus on making the economy better for the middle class.
Both the speaking engagement and the arrival and departure of Air Force One are closed to the public.
Obama seems to enjoy spending time in Asheville. This will be the president's fourth visit to the western North Carolina town since he began campaigning for the nation's highest office in 2008.
SLIDESHOW: President Obama's 2011 visit to Asheville
In 2010, the president and first lady vacationed in Asheville. The following year, Obama spoke about jobs at the Asheville Regional Airport.

Akeem Clarke, 22, of the 7600 block of South Essex Avenue; and Martel Odum, 23, of the 0-100 block of East 69th Street, were each charged with one count of first-degree murder, two counts of felony robbery and one count of felony vehicular hijacking on Wednesday, police said.
Clarke was also wanted on a warrant, police said.
Clarke, Odum and 17-year-old Cedrick Chatman allegedly stole a muscle car at gunpoint Monday afternoon on the South Side, authorities said.
Police first spotted Chatman driving the stolen gray Dodge Charger with out-of-state plates west on East 75th Street about 1:45 p.m. Monday, Fraternal Order of Police spokesman Pat Camden said.
Two officers followed the car and approached it on foot when it was boxed-in by traffic at a stop light near the corner of East 75th and South Jeffery Boulevard, Camden said.
After ordering Chatman out of the car, police say they saw him reach for an object with his right hand before opening the door and fleeing on foot, Camden said.
During the ensuing foot chase, Chatman turned toward officers with what they incorrectly believed was a gun and the officers shot him, Camden said.
An officer gets "that mental image of somebody who takes a vehicle at gunpoint and later he's reaching for something in the car -- the picture is pretty well painted," Camden said.
Chatman, of the 7600 block of South Essex Avenue, died of multiple gunshot wounds, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. A Tuesday autopsy ruled his death a homicide.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

anabolicrhino constantly puts up leftist posts and I dont like it. And yes I like to speak my mind. Isnt that what forums are for? I dont see you getting on anabolicrhino for spewing his left wing crap out in the politics section daily. Bill Mahr is an insult to humanity, and his life must be really pathetic if the only thing he ever has to say is "Bush is stupid". Anyone that respects that man or finds him funny is even more pathetic. You must be a lib too, you act like believe in free speech unless the person talking says something you dont agree with.

Owned ? um maybe you define the word differently.
But, if you are getting your info from the The O'reilly Factor
and FoxNews in general, then that would explain your opinions
which do not seem to vary much from the rhetoric of the Bush Administration media mandates.
I have scanned my older posts just to be sure even the most uneducated, misguided, uninformed mentally controlled person could not misinterpret what I had written,...but there really is nothing in any post where I may have claimed or inferred that Bush had ever exhibited anything close to responsibility for anything,... ever!!!
You seem to suffer from the delusion that your world is full of enemies that are out to get you!
Please understand I am not your enemy. I care not for you or your life!
Please do yourself a favor,... change the channel you are watching, It may mean a happier life !!!
I'm not sure what's more entertaining; the New Rules or CNorris's mad ramblings.
The rule about the Mustard was the best IMO. That liquid crap that comes out first pisses off!
THe fact that the woman they showed isn't Rachel Ray, and I know it, makes me sad.
Oh, I can't stand Mahr either but every person who fills those roles (conservative/Liberal) run their shows this way.
A Measure of Media Bias
I dont like being misinformed, so I watch Fox along with CBS, NBC, CNN. I make up my own mind. You get your propaganda from Bill Maher and The Daily Show, Al Franken and other know nothing comedians. I watch real honest reporting. Bill O'Reilly is a great reporter, and I love how you feel threatened by him. You should, since he had more viewers than the first democratic debate lol! Its not like your good old days when the liberal media could run around and throw bombs unchecked and unchallenged. Bill is biased in the topics he chooses no doubt, but his reporting on those topics is honest and accurate. The same can't be said about Michael Moore and CBS.

The reason a lot of people do not like O'Reilly is because of how arrogant and smug he is to his guests. When Dana White and Rich Franklin were on his show and completely shut him down, he ended the interview quickly. Polarizing the country is the reason that there is so much dissention within the people in this era. Having a president that seems hellbent on keeping it that way has only exacerbated the situation. Mahr and O'Reilly are the same peron, but on opposite ends of the spectrum. However, Mahr actually allows his guests to speak without acting like a pompous ass.
M.Ed. Ex Phys
Mahr, Harry Reid, Pelosi and the left wing press are polarizing by skewing the facts, not Bush. The primary facts that are skewed concern the war. Its all this radical left "Bush Lied People Died" Bull**** that is polarizing. Most Americans supported the war initially, and even after WMD's werent found. "A Gallup poll made on behalf of CNN and the newspaper USA Today concluded that 79% of Americans thought the Iraq War was justified, with or without conclusive evidence of illegal weapons. 19% thought weapons were needed to justify the war." - Washington Post
And everyone believed Saddam had WMD's. Every far left politician. Here are some examples of stuff said:
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime ... He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction ... So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real..."
-- Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons."
-- Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power."
-- Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction."
-- Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
Even Germany and Russia and China believed Saddam had WMD's. The left wing media doesnt tell you this. Guess who does? People like O'Reilly.
The left wing press and Democrats constantly accused Bush of being a liar, being behind 911, taking away innocent civilians rights. They also constantly created non-existant scandals.
Take the Gonzales issue for example. Clinton fired 93 US attourneys, including the US Attourney that was investigating his illegal Whitewater land deal. Gonzales fires some for maybe political reasons, but US attourneys serve at the will of the president. He can do whatever he wants, just like Clinton and Reno did. But you didnt see anyone go after Janet Reno or Clinton! If Gonzales committed a crime, Clinton did 87 more times and even worse fired someone to evade the law. That is grounds for impeachment.
How about the example of the Iraqi elections. NYT had 32 successive New York Times front page articles on Abu Ghraib. Guess what they didnt put ONCE ON THE FRONT PAGE? Those pictures of people with purple ink in Iraq, or a single article about the fact that Iraq had a higher election turnout than America did in 2004.
This is what is polarizing, NOT BUSH!
Hey, CNORRIS can you type something so crazy, that it will make you seem so out of touch with reality, that your own words undermine themselves?
I suffer from no delusion and I do not feel threatened by you.
Its idiots like you that wouldnt let Roosevelt help Britian for 4 years while Hitler gained more and more power, until the inevitable happened. You are the delusional nut job. You suffer from the delusions that Bush is trying to steal away your constitutional rights and used 911 to do it. I know you didnt say this but I've run across people spewing the same garbage as you and that delusion is the common denominator among freaks like you.
Thanks !!!
Tell me that Bush would have done everything in his power to prevent 911, and he supports the Patriot Act because he believes it will help us prevent future attacks. I know you cant admit these 2 simple facts. Go ahead and try to wrap your head around that. I know your delusional mind cant handle it.
I have a good friend who was interviewed by Oreilly on his show. They edited any comments my friend made that appeared to undermine Oreilly. The show is fixed and only for entertainment purposes. Don't use people like this(including Maher) for news purposes.
I agree that the media is biased.
I would take it step further. The media is manipulated to create an illusion of a battle between the left and the right. The reality is its the rich skinning the poor.
The rich are selling you goods and services and a way of life.
These are the advertising found on all these shows and web sites!!!
of course if your rich, you probably all ready knew!

Each Study is accomplished accurately and efficiently, with a great sense of urgency to meet the required deadlines. The assertiveness of everyone at alliantgroup and their flexibility to adapt to our needs is appreciated and viewed as an invaluable asset. We were impressed by their knowledge of the tax code and quick understanding of our company.
Harbor Packaging
A Tax Credit is an immediate source of cash, as well as a significant reduction to current and future years' federal and state tax liabilities.
Many businesses owners in nearly every industry are unaware that federal and state research and development (R&D) tax credit programs exist that may reward their day-to-day efforts aimed at producing an improved product.
The Research and Development Tax Credit is a government-sponsored benefit that provides cash incentives for companies conducting R&D in the U.S. These economic incentives were implemented to stimulate research and development in industries of all sizes, to encourage companies to work together, and to transform the economic landscape.
The Research & Development (R&D) tax credit is for businesses of all sizes, not just major corporations with research labs, and many companies are surprised that they qualify. If you think you must have research labs with white-coated scientists to qualify, think again. Are you surprised to hear that barbie qualifies for R&D tax Credit?
Any company that designs, develops, or improves products, processes, techniques, formulas, inventions, or software may be eligible. In fact, if a company has simply invested time, money, and resources toward the advancement and improvement of its products and processes, it may qualify.
More than $5 billion in federal R&D tax credit benefits are given out annually.
Even better, under recently issued government regulations, more industries now qualify for the R&D tax credit than ever before. Plus, the R&D tax credit regulations allow eligible taxpayers to "look back" to all open tax years (typically three years plus the current year) for potential R&D credits that were never claimed.
alliantgroup has established a team of senior level specialists whose sole focus is the R&D tax credit, and with each of our studies we provide complete irs audit defense on both the federal and state levels.
For more information or if you think your business could collect benefits under the R&D Tax Credit, please click here to contact alliantgroup.

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Forward Stephon Thorne has agreed to terms with the Toledo Walleye for the 2013-2014 season.
Thorne skated in 37 games with Toledo after being claimed off of waivers from Fort Wayne. With the Walleye he scored five goals, added six assists and 58 penalty minutes. The native of Mississauga, Ontario had two goals, one assist and 37 penalty minutes in 26 games last year with the Komets.
"We loved the energy and spark to the team that Stephon gave us night in and night out last year," Head Coach Nick Vitucci said. "He is also a strong penalty killer and has that knack to do something on the ice right when we need it."
His first professional season was in 2011-2012 when he helped the Fort Wayne Komets win the CHL Championship. Thorne had 11 goals, 21 assists and 90 penalty minutes that first year. The 6 feet tall, 180 pound forward appeared in 189 games in the Ontario Hockey League before turning professional with 32 goals, 25 assists and 236 penalty minutes over four seasons.

Chocolate makers set for strike action
11:00am Wednesday 26th September 2012 in Headlines
WORKERS at a Banbury factory which supplies most of the UK's chocolate makers are planning a series of two-day strikes over a pay dispute.
The 108 members of the Unite trade union, working for the global chocolate manufacturer Barry Callebaut, have already held two one-day walkouts after rejecting a 1.5 per cent offer.
The staff, who voted 91.6 per cent in favour of strike action, produce pellets from raw cocoa for Kraft, Cadbury, Nestlé and Hershey.
Their two 48-hour stoppages are planned for Friday and Monday.
Barry Callebaut spokesman Raphael Wernuth, speaking from the Belgian head office, said: "We feel that we have made a fair proposal with our latest offer, which increases the salaries and the investment we made in the factory which ensures the long-term future of all our employees."
He said the company is keen to reach a settlement and will meet the union.
But Mick Polleck, Unite regional officer, accused the company of "dragging its heels and refusing to negotiate" and said workers elsewhere had received two per cent.
He said: "With the top boss pocketing a whopping 79 per cent pay rise for 2011 and other workers getting a two per cent pay rise, it is little wonder that our members' patience has run out."

Was it the system, the skill players or a little bit of both?
The Bluffton High football team will start to answer that question when it opens the season Friday against Whale Branch.
Bluffton rewrote its entire offensive record book on last season's 14-1 run to the SCHSL Class AAA championship game. It was the Bobcats' first year running coach Ken Cribb's double-wing offense out of a pistol formation.
"It's just really balanced," senior quarterback C.J. Frazier said. "There's so many people coming so fast, you never know what's coming."
The Bobcats return six full-time starters, including Frazier, but they've got to replace the offensive specialists who made their most explosive plays in 2011 — receiver Dimitri Lowry and running backs Jerry Scott, Eric Boyles and Zachary Scott.
Cribb was initially worried about finding a new group of skill players. After a good spring practice and a summer of 7-on-7 camps, he's a little less concerned.
"We've got guys who can run faster and catch as well. It's just seeing if they can produce as well," Cribb said. "It did worry me a little, losing that type of talent. But I'm real pleased with the kids that are stepping in. They can flat-out fly and they've got great hands."
Senior Marquis Webber, a returning starter, will fill Lowry's shoes as Bluffton's top receiver. Demetrius Smalls steps in on the other side.
Juniors Gerald Robinson and Vinny Boni, members of an unbeaten junior varsity team last year, will be the starting wing backs. Senior Tykeem Major, who started six games in 2011, including the state title game, will start at super back.
"We've got the speed still. We've got talent," said Austin Chittum, a third-year starter at right tackle. "The way they've been working in the off-season, they'll definitely be able to step up. We're going to be right where we left off."
Chittum is one of four returning starters along the offensive line. The others are junior right guard Josh Darrell, senior left guard Yerko Castedo and senior left tackle Pearce Freeman. Junior Darren Lunde is competing to replace Auburn walk-on Michael Sulka at center.
Cribb said the veteran line's improved play could be a difference-maker early, as the new skill players become accustomed to their roles.
"I think we can be a lot better," he said. "That helps close the gaps with those backs, also."
