- HelloeeeDined on 8/20/2014Went for all u can eat lobster bake. Was told u could either get q claw or tail not both. So for $30 u get corn potatoes clams and claw u have to finish it in order to put in another order for all u can eat. Ur choice was also a $30 lobster roll or 2lb stuff lobster. We were told it was stuffed with shrimp ans crab meat. It was all breading dry. Major disappointment.

- Nice View Bad FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/13/2014We went to the Patio for their Wednesday night Lobster Special. It was an all you can eat lobster bake that included Maine Lobster, Clams, Mussels and potatoes in a both. The lobster was overcooked, tough and chewy, and they were very chintzy with the lobster portions. In each serving all I received was half a tiny lobster tail and part of one claw. One time my lobster "portion" was an empty clew, that's it. The clams were fairly large but they too were tough and the mussels were huge. If you want to dine in a marina setting the view is great, but don't expect much from the food. Our waitress was very pleasant, but the hostesses were unfriendly and rude.Special Features:

- Music great, service terriblejetsfan914Dined on 8/6/2014We went specifically to see the band 45 RPM but decided to go early and have dinner. It was lobster bake night. I did the all you can eat. It was about 20 minutes between getting the orders and that was only after getting the waitresses attention. We actually canceled the last order because it took so long. The food was ok, a little on the cold side. Drinks are over priced. We would definitely go again if 45 RPM was there but we will be eating somewhere else first.Special Features:

- JewelsDined on 7/5/2014Sat outside, it was a beautiful evening and we enjoyed the live music. Food is a bit pricey but it was delicious. The fish and chips were very good. The piece of Brie in the appetizer was so small.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- not worth the priceddpwnyDined on 7/5/2014Service was poor and the quality didn't match the price. Location wasn't as good as I thought it would be either. On the harbor but not the nortical mileSpecial Features:

- The PatiogdibDined on 6/7/2014I went to The Patio with some friends for my birthday. The view and overall look of the restaurant was great. I also really enjoyed the food. My biggest complaint was with the service. We barely saw our waitress all night, it took over an hour for us to get our food after ordering, and they charged us over 20% for gratuity on our bill for lousy service. In addition, the place was very empty for a Saturday night. The band stopped playing at 10 pm and by 1030, the place was empty. It's a shame that such a beautiful place has such lousy service and poor atmosphere.Special Features:
- DisappointingfoodieVIPDined on 6/4/2014First visit of the season. Limited menu, okay food. Friendly servers but just okay service. Only 2 citronella candles on site for a buggy nite outdoors. Hope it was just an off evening but not in a rush to return.
- best of FreeportCFOODLVRDined on 5/22/2014It might be Freeport but it sure isn't the Nautical Mile... The Patio is heads above anything else we've visited in southshore Nassau Great views and fun retro vibe. But the real standout is the food...Great shrimp tacos, lobster empanadas, and one of the best brick oven pizzas anywhere ! Its a little pricey but well worth itSpecial Features:
- LBBBDined on 5/21/2014Great little hidden gem...we loved the food and atmosphere cant be beat ! Back again soonSpecial Features:
- LBBBDined on 5/16/2014Great Food and even better view...A cant miss when in FreeportSpecial Features:
- BKDinerDined on 5/16/2014We found that the food was excellent but the service could use a little polish. The great views and delish food made everything well worth itSpecial Features:
- Dockside StarCommishDined on 5/11/2014Great place to bring your spouse or special lady. Food was very good and portions just right. Service was a little slow and server was not very knowledgeable with regards to "how" meals were prepared when asked. However, overall very enjoyable experience and would return. Make sure it's a sunny day to get the most out of it.Special Features:
- DisappointingRicenbeansDined on 5/11/2014We were there for Mothers Day. We arrived at noon, and our entrees were it served until 2. In the meantime, there were mistakes with our apps, and when the entrees did come, they had not made one person's food, so she waited even longer. When we ordered dessert and coffee, first they forgot coffee, then we had to wait forilk, and we never got sugar. The wait staff was nice and apologetic, but it's no way to run a restaurant, especially for the price. The food was good, but nothing great. And when we asked for aim bread instead of corn muffins, they did not have any. It was a hot mess.
- Great Food & Great AtmosphereBKDinerDined on 5/2/2014A little unassuming from the road but the space and view is beautiful and the food is killer. We loved the bbq duck and the coconut fish and chips. THe drinks were great and service friendly. We came on a friends recommendation and will be coming backSpecial Features:
- LBBBDined on 5/2/2014Same beautiful space...Great new menu...We came for a quick bite when visiting family last year and really enjoyed it. When we came back this year we were even more pleased. They added on more outdoor space and change the menu a little bit. Dont worry those amazing wood fired pizzas are still available. The service was warm and friendly but the real treat was the food. We will be back when the weather warms up a bit !Special Features:

- Great place to sit outsideOpenTable Diner Since 2011VIPDined on 8/31/2013Great place to sit outside on the water and have a drink. Service was great. Food was good. A little overpriced for what it was. But would go back again.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Way overpriced!!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/30/2013Food was very good and the setting was relaxing and inviting, however the bill was ridiculous for what we received.this place is set away from the rest of the competition on Woodcleft Ave so I guess they can get away with it but everything on the menu was three to four dollars too much. Again. The food was really good and we enjoyed the meal , but we won't be back.
- LimitedShivie1023Dined on 8/29/2013The menu is limited. No side dishes. The chef will not substitute veggies for mashed potatoes even though they have mashed potatoes for other entrees. They do have kid options. The menu online is not accurate. They only had 3 desserts. My daughter (8 yrs) had kid pasta with sauce and they gave a giant plate with next to no pasta on the plate. The food was good. I had shrimp taco appetizer for dinner because of limited entree options. It was very good. My so. Enjoyed their burger and my husband enjoyed their stuffed lobster bake. They had brick oven pizza which looked good. Ambiance is great.Special Features:
- Killer FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/12/2013Awesome food and good vibes at this beautiful outdoor space. GREAT addition to freeportSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Outside diningRobinsDined on 8/10/2013A neighborhood gem that has only outdoor seating. Food is adequateSpecial Features:
- NICE BUTJUSTOK1Dined on 8/6/2013The restaurant was nice in that it was on the water, however, the menu was limited (no shrimp offered except peel and eat) which was surprising for a restaurant in the heart of the seaford district. The prices were very high and not warranted for this type of place. The food was OK but the portions were small. The wait staff was good, but it took 20 minutes for them to bring us bread as we were told they had to make the flat bread...you would think they would have been a bit more prepared and we should not have had to ask for it. If this place expects people to come in, they better reconsider their menu and prices... they are not worth the prices they are asking for. Nice but never again!Special Features:
- fantastic deal/beautiful venuedoc1989VIPDined on 7/29/20139 people, incl. a 2 & 7 yr old went for Monday lobster. All were leery upon entering the parking lot. The motel is old & all had concerns about the restaurant being as uninviting; however, once we walked into the restaurant, we were very pleasantly surprised! It is indeed a patio, complete with sofas, fishpond/waterfall, view of the marina, round fire pits, and large movie screen. Staff was great with the kids who had plenty of room to run around without bothering others, even coming up with some story books for the 2 year old. The all you can eat lobster kept coming and the stuffed 2 pounder was great. The sangria was especially delicious! We were there over 2 hours and enjoyed every minute. Will definitely go again. Highly recommend it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Breast Cancer Test Predicts Late Recurrence
Clinicians can identify patients who will benefit most from extended hormonal therapy
New study data have shown that results from the Oncotype DX test (Genomic Health, Inc.) can predict the risk of late distant recurrence in patients with early-stage breast cancer after initial treatment with tamoxifen, suggesting that the test may help identify patients with the greatest potential to benefit from extended hormonal treatment beyond 5 years.
The findings will be presented June 2 at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) annual meeting in Chicago.
The new study analyzed 668 and 1,065 patients from the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast and Bowel Project (NSABP) B-14 and B-28 trials, respectively. Median follow-up periods of 13.9 years (B-14) and 11.2 years (B-28) determined that the Oncotype DX recurrence score results were significantly associated with distant recurrence after 5 years in patients whose tumors had high ER expression. Specifically, in B-14 patients, the association of the continuous recurrence score with distant recurrence after 5 years in the patients with higher quantitative estrogen receptor (ER) expression was significant (P = 0.004) after adjustment for age, grade, and tumor size.
The results suggest that extending tamoxifen therapy beyond 5 years may be most beneficial in patients with high and intermediate recurrence scores and with higher quantitative ER expression. Conversely, patients with low recurrence scores would be expected to obtain limited benefit from extended tamoxifen therapy beyond 5 years because of their much lower risk for late distant recurrence.
The Oncotype DX test was introduced a decade ago.

In an article titled "Wilbanks' ex returns the favor" printed on Oct. 14, a sentence states that $250,000 was half the cost of a home purchased by Jennifer Wilbanks' former fiance John Mason, when in fact the $250,000 was half the money paid by Regan Media in New York paid to Mason for the "Runaway Bride" story. The exact amount that Mason paid for the house was not available.In a Loganville election preview article published Oct. 12, City Council candidate Janice Tribble's daughter's name was mispelled. Toni, Tribble's daughter, was also listed as a son, which was incorrect. It is the policy of the Gwinnett Daily Post to correct all errors of fact..

She was the "boss" on a hit ABC laffer three decades ago. Now Judith Light is returning to the world of situation comedies.
The One Life to Live and Who's The Boss? alum—currently enjoying a second season playing a coke-snorting, brothel-running, shipping tycoon on TNT's Dallas— has been cast in ABC's comedy pilot The Winklers. Based on the real-life of Happy Days legend Henry Winkler, The Winklers is a father-in-law/son-in-law buddy comedy. Light is set to play Winkler's wife. Deadline broke the casting news.

She is wonderful.
March 18, 2014 at 8:11 pm
Good for her! I just ADORE this woman. She's a phenomenal talent, and she's deliciously wicked on the new Dallas.
March 18, 2014 at 8:39 pm
I'm glad she's returning to comedy. I liked WTB, her & Danza had great chemistry. The show had a great assemble of talents on the sitcom.
March 19, 2014 at 12:28 pm
Here's something that all Judith Light fans will want to see. It reminds me of Joan Lunden, whom I met when she and Charles Gibson brought Good Morning America to Canada for a week back in the '90s. Like Radnor with Light, I was struck by how interested Lunden was in my life and career and really listened to me. That conversation left an impression on me that made me redefine what I considered to be a success in life. It's nice not only to see that this type of person exists in what is known to be a cut-throat world, but that she is noticed for it.

Brimmer Street Theatre to Offer NOBLE/BIRTH & THE BRIDGE Readings Next Month
As part of its 2014 Breaking Ground play development program, Brimmer Street Theatre Company has announced public staged readings of two new plays. Noble/Birth by Braden LuBell will be presented on Friday, April 4 at 8pm and Saturday, April 5 at 1pm and The Bridge by Ron Burch will be presented on Saturday, April 12 at 7pm and Sunday, April 13 at 1pm. All presentations will be at 2nd Stage Theatre in Hollywood. Admission is free and no reservations are required. Following each reading, audiences will be invited to engage in brief discussions with the playwrights and participating artists.
Breaking Ground is Brimmer Street Theatre Company's newest initiative dedicated to collaborative new play development. Over the course of the six-week project, BSTC's ensemble works with local playwrights to move drafts of original plays to finalized scripts through the discovery and collaboration of an abbreviated rehearsal process, design consultation, and finally a staged reading. Noble/Birth and The Bridge were chosen by the BSTC ensemble from dozens of submissions.
Braden LuBell's Noble/Birth is a romantic/family drama set in two interweaving eras. Should we hold fast to our vision of the lives we want or allow life to take its own course? The play examines what makes a family, the perils of always doing the honorable thing, and the overwhelming nature of love. Directed by David Jette, the reading will feature (in alphabetical order) Ben Fuller, Amy K. Harmon, Emilia Richeson, Barry Saltzman, Ian Sollenberger, Jaquita Ta'le, and Lisa Temple. Audience members who would like to read Noble/Birth in advance can email firstname.lastname@example.com for a copy of the play.
Ron Burch's The Bridge is a comedy/drama about a woman who finds her ex-husband homeless on the street and feels compelled to bring him home where she lives happily with her new husband - or at least she did. Directed by Christina Cigala, the reading will feature (in alphabetical order) Celeste Busa, Dan Gordon, Tyler Jenich, Marie Lively, and Joseph L. Roberts.
Brimmer Street Theatre Company is a non-profit ensemble theatre that creates and produces new works of theatre in order to cultivate artists and engage audiences in Los Angeles. By working from a select core of talented artists, BSTC aims to produce a unique brand of American theatre that is rooted in a common experience and driven by their commitment to building better theatre that is challenging, extraordinary, and inspiring.

For a limited time – American Express will give you a $25 statement credit after you spend $75 at Amazon.com by 12/31/13. The catch: You must register your eligible card(s) for the promotion. To see if you're in with the in-crowd, login to your Amex account and scroll down to see "Offers For You" (screenshot below).
My Modus Operandi: I registered my cards and then popped over here to buy Amazon e-Gift Cards. If you click my link, it will cost you the same price, but I'll thank you today for a tiny tasty referral credit I'll get from Amazon on Tuesday.
Buying e-Gift Cards meets the requirement and lets you leisurely spend the money at Amazon.com. I once bought gift cards for myself for $75 each, I received an email with the gift card code. I entered the code in my Amazon account and the $75 is banked in my Amazon account (screenshot below).
This does not appear to be a targeted offer. Although I received only one email about this offer, I registered my other cards here. Then, I got emails from Amex thanking meRead More
$3 for $25 Restaurant Certificates – TODAY Only
Everyone eats, right? Here is a perfect stocking stuffer / Hanukah gift idea. Today only, you can buy a $25 restaurant gift certificate for $3. Code "CYBER".
I'm a late-adopter of Restaurant.com because it sounded too good to be true. Then I received $25 and $50 gift certificates from friends. Even though the gift certificate said that alcohol was not included, when I called to make a reservation, the restaurant/bar said alcohol could be included – so ask.
A few months ago, I picked up three. I decided not to use two of them. Both were credited back to my Restaurant.com account as two $25 credits. I can use those credits to buy a combination of $10, $15, or $25 gift certificates to ANY Restaurants.com restaurant.
So, buy certificates now at the $3 special offer. Enjoy the restaurants you chose, or use that work-around to go to different places that they offer.
You can search by zip code or city. Certificates do not expire. This deal ends when "Cyber Monday" turns into "Regular Ole Tuesday". Click to get some now!
Get $125 + $75 at Capital One 360 "Sale"
Shhh!!! Capital One 360 doesn't know what "sale" means. They think it means to give away cash.
Now through Monday night ONLY, they will give you a $125 BONUS if you open a 360 Checking account and a $75 BONUS if you open a 360 Savings account. Click on the links to open your accounts.
I have both of these accounts. No Minimums. No fees. No tricks. No brainer.
Black Friday is about deals. Where else can you actually make $200 in ten minutes today?
When you get back from the jungle of credit card wielding, sleep-deprived bargain hunters, reload your bankroll!

It's Not Water, It's H2O
We just had our first November rain in Los Angeles. That means it's time for my annual post about turning off your sprinklers! Woo-Hoo!!
The reason you do that is really SEXY: Saving on your Sewer Service Charge (SSC). Hubba-hubba. My most recent bill's SSC was $24.99. I had paid as much as $155.55 until I wised up.
I will tell you the answer first, because the explanation could put you in REM 3. If you have automatic sprinklers and you live in an area that charges you a sewer usage charge based upon water you use – you might wanna shut them off until Spring. I live in the warm and sunny Los Angeles "Valley". I shut off my lawn sprinklers between the first rain in November until March-April.
I started doing this a few years ago and my lawn, in full sun, has not suffered a bit. Individual results may vary. Void where prohibited without the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball.
Serve your environmentalist side with your "green" stance on water conservation while currying favor with your inner capitalist by keeping "green" in your wallet!Read More
Do You Want $200?
Here's an opportunity for some free money. You'll get $200 tax free if you get the new Chase Freedom card, and spend $500 on it in the first 3 months that you have it. If you aren't an ultra-maroon or filthy rich, you might wanna check it out.
$500 is only $167/month x 3. Use the card to pay for your phone bill, internet, TV, gasoline, groceries, banjo lessons – whatever! Checkout my post on Amazon Payments to see how you can use the card to pay someone (maybe your landlord) money you owe. Then pay off the card with the cash that you were going to use to pay for your stuff in the first place.
No catch. The Chase Freedom card is the Visa that I carry in my wallet. I got this card years ago when they last had the $200 offer. Click on Chip's Favorite Credit Card Offers for up-to-date deals, terms, and conditions on this card and more. Email me if you have any questions about which card might be right for your situation.
It never has an annual fee. It pays 1% cash back on all purchases. It pays 5% cash back on various categories that change every quarter. For example, from October 1st – December 31st, it pays 5% cash back on purchases at Amazon.com and these select department stores.
Again, this $200 is tax free, so it's more like what you have left after paying taxes on $300 – $400 earned at your job – depending upon which tax bracket you are in.
If you and your significant other get the card, well, you'll be able to afford roast beast and taters this Christmas!

I Feel Like Quicken Tonight (2014)
I've been using Quicken for years. If you wanna dip your Fred Flintstone sized big toe in the Quicken pool, I think the Quicken Starter Edition will do just fine. Right now it is only $29.99 ($10 off). That link has a better price than what I found at Amazon. It comes with a 60-day money back guarantee. You might give it a whirl for a couple months. They even have a Quicken Essentials for Mac.
I started with Quicken Deluxe, never tried Quicken Premier, and now use Quicken Home & Business.
Why'd I do that? Because I got a free upgrade!
One of the greatest things about Quicken is that with one click, it will go out to all of your financial accounts and bring in all of your new transactions. It goes to your checking, savings, CDs, credit cards, stock, retirement and brokerage accounts – and scrapes in the new info. You can see your empire in one place!
It makes tax time quick and painless – especially if you itemize deductions.
Another great feature is that Quicken 2014 comes with a free Quicken App that syncs your desktop and your iPhone, iPad, and Android phones and tablets. Now you will know exactly where your finances stand, even if you are out of town. No need to check into several bank websites. It's all in the free Quicken app. I whipped up a li'l Chip's Money Tips example of a Quicken account for you screenshot lovers:Read More

Jock Straps, Bunsen Burners and Passive Income
"Crash & Bernstein" is a TV show on Disney XD, in which I play Hank Urkhart: Coach – Science teacher. How's that for a hyphenate? My purview is jock straps and Bunsen burners. Never the twain shall meet.
Between scenes, I was talking to the writing team who wrote the episode in which my character first appeared. Then another hyphenate, the head writer – executive producer, ambled over. He told the writing team, "You guys get another $500 this week, because Chip's here." It turns out there is something in the Writers' Guild called a "character payment". If you wrote the episode in which a character debuts, you get extra cash every episode in which that character reappears. This was my 5th time on the show. The guys get paid that extra bump even when they don't write the episodes I'm in. Pretty sweet!
This conversation was a perfect storm for me: Comedy, Performing and Money. More specifically, Passive Income, which is income received on a regular basis with little or no effort required to maintain it. These guys worked hard coming up with Coach Urkhart, but they didn't have to do anything else to keep getting paid for it. Even if they never worked another minute on the show, they'd still get a check in the mail every time my character came back. Nice!
Passive income was in the air that day. When I got home from the set, I was greeted with some mailbox money, a residual check from 3rd Rock From The Sun (the very first sitcom I ever did). That's also where I had my first on-screen kiss. Unfortunately, that was with John Lithgow.
I worked two days on that episode over 16 years ago! The check was only $55, but still… it was $55! And all I had to do was reach into my mailbox.
When it comes to money, little amounts can become big amounts. Over the years, the total passive income I have received from that episode of 3rd Rock is six times what I was paid for those two days of work in 1997.
I hear ya. "Well that's nice, ChipsMoneyTips, but I'm not a TV writer or actor. How can I get passive income?"
The first step is to squirrel away a little somethin' somethin' inRead More
Launder That Rubber Band o' Cards
Do you have a rubber band around a stack of gift cards that you'd like to turn into cash? As I wrote about in In "Mr. Bojangles & The Plastic Jungle", there are sites like CardCash and Raise that will buy your gift cards. You won't get face value, but you'll get back most of what's on the card. CardCash says they pay up to 92%. Not too shabby.
These sites also sell gift cards at a discount. For example, Baja Fresh is 15% off at CardCash. Christmas is only six weeks away. Hello stocking stuffers.
Do you have any Visa or Amex gift cards? Maybe you'd rather pay your rent or mortgage with that money instead of blowing it on something you don't need. You can load Visa, MasterCard or American Express gift cards at AmazonPayments.com. Then send the money on that card to a friend's AmazonPayments account and have them give that cash to you. You can read more in my "Amazon Payments' WebPay" post.

Aerosmith, LMFAO, Bon Jovi and More Highlight Festival d'Ete de Quebec, Now thru July 15
True to form, the 45th Festival d'été de Québec has lined up top international stars and legends of rock along with the best of world music, indie-rock and folk. There will be room for nostalgia and delirium, for song, for emerging talent and a first this year, an all-electro night. Featuring Bon Jovi, Johnny Hallyday, The Offspring, Vincent Vallières, Metric, Skrillex, Patrick Watson, Sarah McLachlan, Radio Radio, Aerosmith, Beirut, Ariane Moffatt, The Barr Brothers, LMFAO, Mastodon, Grimskunk, Inna Modja, City and Colour, Big Boi, Tedeschi Trucks Band, Oliver Mtukudzi and dozens more.
Once again this year, the Festival opens in French. This time, the language that is shared by millions of people all over the world will be sung, played and recited on every outdoor Festival stage.
Québec's singer Marième will kick off the evening. Her sunny music, with its reggae and pop beat, will liven up the Hydro-Québec stage at Place Metro in Place d'Youville starting at 6 p.m. Next, singer and guitarist Sidi Touré from Mali plays with his warm blend of blues, traditional music, rock and western. Then the party takes off with Radio Radio's electro rap. These Acadian musicians sing in French and in the slang called chiac, and will be accompanied by a drummer and trumpet player.
It will be party time at Parc de la Francophonie too, with a Québec evening start to finish featuring Bodh'aktan, Papillon and Mononc' Serge. The seven musicians that make up Bodh'aktan will be first up on the Loto-Québec stage. Their traditional music is a mix of polka, Celtic, punk, and folk with a dash of humour and some rock. Papillon, with its happy, derisive brand of dirty rock, should keep things rolling along with special guest, Lucien Francoeur. Then Mononc' Serge, with his pointed humour, promises lots of laughs.
The Bell stage on the Plains of Abraham will be the scene of a show specially produced for the Forum mondial de la langue française, Le Français d'abord. As Pierre Boileau, the director of this super variety show, who also directed Rencontres and Paris-Québec à travers la chanson in 2008 for the 400th anniversary of Québec City, said, 'We'll be celebrating all the wealth of francophone culture, its accents, its sounds and its music, which vary from one continent, and even one country, to the next.'
The participating artists will be announced in early June.
July 6 - LMFAO will have a young crowd out in force decked out in their day-glo duds, afros and rockin' glasses to party!
July 8 - Get ready for Misteur Valaire and Jean Leloup. First, the electro pop masters roll out the big guns: six dancers and three guests, including Fanny Bloom, Bran Van 3000's Liquid and Benny BBQ. Then enter Leloup, with his greatest hits and inimitable style!
July 9 - A master stroke– Bon Jovi! The US ambassadors of rock'n roll come to Quebec City at last for their only show in Canada. Their appearances here are rare; the last show was back in 2001. With a long list of hits to choose from, this concert promises to draw a pumped-up crowd!
July 10 – French rocker and superstar Johnny Hallyday brings his full-scale production to Quebec City for the first time. Up first, Don Felder, famed guitarist composer and former member of The Eagles, who will be playing some of their greatest hits.
July 11 – A mega electro party! The Festival's first 'technofest' stars Skrillex, five-time nominees at the last Grammy Awards, along with a string of musicians and DJs.A super production featuring three different stages, a spaceship, lasers and fireworks, 'technofest' will be back every year.
July 12 – The legendary rock band, Aerosmith!Still as cool and original as ever after 30 years– the idols of more than one generation– they'll be pulling out all the stops. And to open, Canada's own Our Lady Peace is back with their chart-topping new hit, Allowance.
July 13 – Singer songwriter Sarah McLachlan interrupts her symphonic tour for this single performance with her musicians and guests.
July 14 - Punk-rock at its best with The Offspring.Dominating the scene in the late 90s, they're back stronger than ever in 2012 with a new album. Part of the evening, Mute, rising Québec talent to watch for.
July 15 – Popular Québec singer songwriter Vincent Vallières closes the Festival with his guests, backup singers, horns and projections in a surprised-filled evening produced and directed by Karkwa's own Louis-Jean Cormier. And to get things rolling, Marie-Pierre Arthur.

The Return of the Nightlife King: Seth Greenberg
Seth Greenberg is holding forth on history. Boston's, not his own. He's standing in the doorway of what will become Woodward, the "modern tavern" he's opening this month in the new Ames Hotel, in which he's a partner. He's looking out at the Old State House and down State Street toward the Custom House Tower, pondering the past, the city's long memory. "This is where the Boston Tea Party took place," he says of his new neighborhood, sounding a bit awestruck.
He's an unlikely history buff, standing here with his tousled hair, fancy watch (Chronoswiss), and artfully untucked blue shirt. Of course, the tea dumping took place down the harbor a ways—but no matter. What he's getting at is what makes the old Ames building—the city's first skyscraper when it was completed in 1893—such a compelling place for a swank new hotel, and the perfect spot for his own latest experiment. "The Ames family, who built this place, had a company called Ames Plow," Greenberg says. "When Mr. Ames died, Mrs. Ames remarried a man named Woodward and opened a tavern at her home. So this is named after Mrs. Woodward's tavern."
To know anything about Seth Greenberg is to wonder at his desire to become a tavern keeper. But Woodward, he explains, won't be your great-grandfather's watering hole. What Greenberg has in mind is a vibe he describes, with a straight face, as "Ben Franklin meets supermodel." The way he sees it, if a colonial about town were alive today, this is just the sort of place he'd enjoy. And hey, who doesn't want to hang out with supermodels?
Seth Greenberg is handsome and perpetually tanned. He loves fashion. He loves Saint-Tropez. And the Hamptons. And models. And South Beach. And working out. And fast cars. He also loves Boston. A purveyor of a glam lifestyle in a notoriously buttoned-down city, Greenberg has always glimpsed opportunity here. With Woodward, amid both a recession and a poorly timed hotel building boom, he's out to redefine a career that's fixed in time to a spectacular moment in the 1990s, when he invented an entire subculture at M-80 and later at the Theater District's Aria, then the city's most glittering nightspots. That early success spawned other deals—including Mistral, the restaurant he opened in the South End—but after a string of run-ins with the city's licensing board over underage drinking and overcrowding, his flagship club was shuttered. In frustration, he left the bar business behind and set up shop in New York, giving up the Ladder District condo and the band of trailing Greenberg wannabes and Maggie Inc. models just as the lights dimmed on what was the most glorious nightlife era in Boston since the jazz club days of the 1940s.
Now, a dozen years after he opened his last big property here, he's back in Boston to accomplish what he says has been his goal all along: becoming a player in the hotel business. If he succeeds, Boston will once more witness his talent for spinning a sleepy scene into something sparkling. And if he really succeeds, we may also witness a transformation in the once-rowdy club king himself.

Christians already have victory over the world through Jesus, but Satan picks a fight with believers nonetheless, tempting them with the influences of the world in an effort to steal God's glory. Indeed, the battle rages on , but the nature of the enemy is baldly exposed in Spiritual Warfare, helping readers better understand feelings of resentment, anger, doubt, pride, and adversity for what they really are: fiery darts of deception. Written by International Mission Board president Jerry Rankin, who has witnessed spiritual warfare at work around the world, the book in turn becomes an inspiring guide to the Spirit-filled life, illuminating spiritual disciplines that equip us for victory including prayer, Bible study, fasting, Sabbath observance, active church membership, and praising God in all things.

Surfing Australia is pleased to announce the 2009 Australian Junior Surf Team. Team Australia will represent Australia at the ISA World Junior Championships in Ecuador this March.
Surfing Australia would like to congratulate 2009's Team Australia. Leading the Aussie charge in three separate divisions will be:
Dean Bowen (Gerroa, NSW,) Jordi Watson (Currarong, NSW,) Davey Cathels (Narrabeen, NSW,) and Garrett Parkes (Byron Bay, NSW,) in the Under 18 boys division.
Cooper Chapman (North Narrabeen, NSW,) Dylan Cummings (Noraville, NSW,) Matt Banting (Port Macquarie, NSW,) and Creed McTaggert (Margaret River, WA,) in the Under 16 boys division
And the Under 18 Girls division will be contested by Paige Haggerston (Coal Point, NSW,) Kirby Wright (Lennox Head, NSW,) Laura Enever (North Narrabeen, NSW,) and Tyler Wright (Lennox Head, NSW.)
24 top class surfers completed a grueling four day selection camp at Surfing Australia's High Performance Centre (HPC) late last week under the guidance of National Coaching Director Martin Dunn and High Performance Coaches Mark Richardson, Grant Hudson and Jenny Boggis. During this camp each athlete's fitness, competition skills, attitude and previous event results were tested and analyzed allowing point scores to be awarded to each surfer. Based on this point scoring system, the selections were made. Further information on the Team Australia Selection Policy can be found in the Team Australia Selection Policy.
"It was a very tough and close selection camp, with only the smallest of margins separating each surfer" said National Coaching Director Martin Dunn. "We were all very pleased with the attitude and skill displayed by all surfers at the selection camp and we are confident that we have selected a strong, talented team who will do Australia proud at the World Junior Championships."

This school has great interventions and the personal gave all they could give to hekp my daughter and they did not give up on her. They also did not lable her a trouble maker everyone worked together in making my daughter feel good about herself so she could have a successful year. Thank you Warm Springs for what you did for my daughter. You are grezt gpt not wuitting when it came to my daughter behavior problems in dealing with school. Thanks for all the people that worked together to make my daughter feel good about school. Thanks you for understanding my daughters unique ptoblems and working with me to make her successful and happy to attend school.

What is harder? investigating a case of a murdered kid or having to tell parents that their son/daughter was murdered.
depends how much empathy you have given this situation. This is why not everyone can be a doctor or a policemen as it takes a certain type of personality to give the bad but necessary news. Investigating a crime you are just as professional. The goal is to catch who did it rather than focus on the lost of a young life.
for me it would be breaking the news the kids parents, with that said, it would make me all the more determined,to find the person or persons responsible for it.
For me, definitely the latter. At least while investigating I would take satisfaction from doing something to help make sure it was not done again by this person.

Telling distraught parents their kid is dead and just having to stand there and wait for them to come to their senses would be far harder for me.
what i think BOTH!!!!!
I couldn't do either which is why we a professionals who investigate crimes who probably cry for the victim in private and ministers and such who tell parents about a murdered child and then who probably cry for the child in private. Or they are like a friend of mine who was six years short of retirement as a patrol officer for the local Sheriff and one day he was maintaining security at the crime scene of a murdered child and he just walked away from his pension.
Telling the parents.... at least with the investiagtion you are an outsider trying to bring closure for a crime committed. Telling a parent your child was murdered would be too painful for me.
Telling the parents because once they get your drift the hard part is done, from there you just need to tolerate their emotions
It depends on the person. I personally would have no problem telling someone their loved one is dead; as long as it wasn't my fault I have no reason to feel bad. They are better off knowing than not knowing. But a more empathetic person might have a different answer.
I couldn't live if something happened to any of my children. Telling a parent that their child is dead would be horrible.
the latter>telling the family and breaking their heart is harder to do
the investigation. seeing, experiencing it first hand. hmm, that's ob<x>jectively. personally, hearing it would be awful. can't really say, i'm not an investigator.
