Tax season is here and one local organization is encouraging senior citizens to file.
Many seniors don't file tax returns because they don't receive any earned income.
But failure to do so means they are missing out on refunds like the Michigan Home Heating Aid and the Personal Property Tax refund.
Local Commissions on Aging say they can help people file.
Because of the fiscal cliff, tax forms are being printed late this year but are expected to be released by the end of the month.

We know about the Great Wall of Sutton Forest – a 250m long, 2.5m high dirt wall erected by Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, to shield their 100 acre Bunya Hill property in the NSW Southern Highlands from the prying lenses of Sydney's notoriously aggressive paparazzi. Not to mention their fourth line of paparazzi defence: a line of conifers they subsequently planted between the dirt wall and two fences (to which another barrier of green shadecloth has since been added). You have to wonder what the "Kurbans" would make of what frockwriter can reveal is the latest installation to be made adjacent their property: a monster, 4m high, 6m wide bonfire, erected on the grounds of their next-door neighbour, the Sutton Forest Inn and looking their hillside mansion straight up the barrel.
When we called the Inn, a rep told us the bonfire was erected in preparation for a 31st July fireworks display.
That promises to be one hell of a display.
At 20 acres, the Sutton Forest Inn technically qualifies for "backyard burning" under the provisions of the Wingecarribee Council. That said, the bonfire is so ridiculously big, once lit, it could potentially pose a fire hazard. There is a lot of dry winter grass all over the region.
How close to Bunya Hill is the bonfire? Right at the property's front fence. The previous owners of Bunya Hill reportedly used to drive their car to the bottom of the hill, park their car and climb over the fence to head to the pub.
Here is a shot of Bunya Hill from the Sutton Forest Inn carpark taken in July 2008, standing where the bonfire is located now:
This is the same pub that has proposed an extension of 100 additional motel beds – and which at one stage offered to sell to the Kurbans if they had a problem with the development.
The Kurbans made a well-publicised visit to the property at Easter in 2009.
Frockwriter's sources say the couple has returned in the interim – and that while they are not in residence, the property is "used regularly" by Kidman's parents, her sister Antonia and her nephews and nieces. Other local sources report that a jogging track was recently installed around the property for Kidman and that there have been "a lot of staff problems" at the property, with numerous personnel changes.
Whoever is in residence on July 31, let's hope their fire extinguishers are in good nick.

Newegg has released a statement that sheds some light on the fake processor story we have been following since Friday:
Newegg is currently conducting a thorough investigation surrounding recent shipments of questionable Intel Core i7-920 CPUs purchased from Newegg.com.
Initial information we received from our supplier, IPEX, stated that they had mistakenly shipped us "demo units." We have since come to discover the CPUs were counterfeit and are terminating our relationship with this supplier. Contrary to any speculation, D&H Distributing is not the vendor that supplied us with the Intel Core i7-920 CPUs in question.
Newegg's top priority is to proactively reach out to all customers who may have been affected to ensure their absolute satisfaction. We have already sent out a number of replacement units and are doing everything in our power to resolve the matter promptly and with the least amount of inconvenience to our customers.
We have always taken pride in providing an exceptional experience for each customer, and we apologize for any inconvenience to our valued customers. We take matters like this extremely seriously, and are working in close cooperation with Intel and the appropriate law enforcement authorities to thoroughly investigate this incident.
(Received by email: Monday, March 8, 2010 – 7:26 PM EST)
It appears that D&H Distributing is not involved, perhaps those cease and desist letters were warranted? In my estimation, Newegg has made every effort to rectify the situation with customers who received the fakes. In the meantime, stay tuned for more updates. I expect Newegg and Intel to continue their investigations. Hopefully within the next several days more details will emerge as to how this happened.

12 Comments:
And speculation of Newegg throwing IPEX to the wolves, so to speak, is just as crazy. There ARE liable laws out there and that would be a pretty blatant violation by a huge company (Newegg) - I just don't see that happening. If it were D&H that shipped those fakes I'm sure they'd take the blame, show where the problem arose, help with the investigation, and move on. Eventually the source of the fakes will come out and even if it's never made public the affected companies will be kept in the loop. There's no way IPEX will "take the fall" if they didn't do it (unless they get VERY well paid) and I'm sure Newegg knows this.
In the end, regardless of my dislike of Intel, I hope they catch the SOBs that did this but I doubt the logistics system will change because of it. The criminals in this matter seemed to be quite aware of that system and how to fool it. After all, if the shipping crate was marked correctly and weighed correctly who would open it up until it gets to retailer? - and by then it's too late.
If "Authorized Intel Distributor" means the same as it does in many other industries that's just a term for companies who get bonuses and/or price reductions for keeping a high volume. Maybe CPU distribution works differently than other wholesale systems? - but I doubt it. That doesn't mean I'd give IPEX a sweeping clean bill of health (without proof), or that Newegg shouldn't be more careful where it gets it's product, but I wouldn't call it "gray market" by any stretch. There's a great tool store down the road from me, been in business for decades. They only sell quality stuff (Bosch, DeWalt, Porter Cable, etc.) and I'd bet none of their stuff comes from "Authorized Distributors" (too small a store) - but I wouldn't buy my power tools anywhere else!
Big Business doesn't necessarily imply good business and small business doesn't mean it's shady.
That applies to wholesalers as well as retailers ...
This is very true. Small business usually has a small customer base. They can't afford to lose customers, so usually deal above the board. Bigger business has the ability to weather a disruption in customers, and is thus more likely to deal below the board, or have shady stuff going on.
This whole series of speculations was apparently started by ONE guy making an assumption, which he passed on to someone else as fact. Or maybe the second guy decided to accept at as fact and run with the ball - who knows? Either way, passing on unconfirmed information in any situation is commonly known as "spreading gossip", "rumor mongering", and many other popular phrases, none of which are good ...
That's my point... Why would [H] assume that's who was involved when they [newegg] said they're not after the fact? Just grabbing a supplier out of the air? [H] could have picked a number of suppliers... Seems rather coincidental don't you think?? Undisclosed source? lol.. Sounds to me to be a huge cover-up... and to save face, and not hurt future D&H deals with other vendors, newegg said D&H was not involved... I'm sure that the "Undisclosed source", no longer works there and I'm sure he was handed a nice severance package to keep quite...
This batch of fake 920's, were probably cheaper than normal, and the purchasing agent (probably the undisclosed source @ newegg) knew where he got them from who then spoke to his buddy at [H] when the story broke, not thinking at the consequences... They were such a "good" deal, and would have made the GP (gross profit) higher...
That's my take on this whole debacle...
[H]/Kyle didn't assume tho, they were told by their secret source at Newegg that it was D&H. D&H is a supplier to newegg, and they likely do a much larger amount of business with Newegg processors than IPEX - D&H is an Authorized Intel Channel Partner, which means they are a much larger and well established organization. It isn't a stretch to guess that Kyle's contact wasn't even aware Newegg did business with IPEX, and made an inaccurate guess based on the fact that most of Newegg's processor supply may come from D&H.
Having unofficial, undisclosed sources is common-place amongst popular "newsy" websites like [H], Anandtech, and Tom's Hardware... So that doesn't make me very suspicious.
I need to stop, I'm being sucked into the speculation whirlwind. I'm more comfortable dealing with solid facts.
I'm going to make one more comment, then I'm done..
This is my problem... and I'm only continuing because it just does not make sense..
There is always a paper trail..
Somewhere at the shipping department @ source to Newegg's receiving department..
Either The CPU's that left the source were genuine, and then replaced with fakes during the transfer to the egg... There are so many possibilities...
Should have never happened, and the way Newegg handled it was spot on! +1 for awesome customer service!
After the dust settles and the investigation is completed wonder who will take the blame for this one???
That's it, I'm done... Thanks for letting me vent!
Ipex corroborates Newegg's statement, noting that the fake processors were provided by an unnamed supplier. I suspect that unnamed supplier will never be made public by IPEX.
Just WOW!
I wonder who buys directly from Intel??
Seems Intel should be putting carton seals on shipments now, to guarantee shipped product.... If it arrives without the lock / seal, delivery can't happen...
Thanks for that information...Very interesting...

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - Next year's Essence Festival is getting a dose of music royalty from Prince. The "Purple Rain" singer-songwriter is headlining the 20th annual festival, a celebration of black music and culture being held July 3-6 in New Orleans.
Prince, who performed at Essence in 2004, also headlined this year's South By Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. His newest single, "Screwdriver," debuted earlier this year. Still, Prince is best known for chart-topping hits like "1999," ''Cool" and "Purple Rain."
Essence has been held every Independence Day weekend since 1995, when it marked the 25th anniversary of Essence magazine.
The festival includes nightly concerts at the Louisiana Superdome and empowerment seminars during the day at a nearby convention center. Organizers say the rest of the lineup will be announced later.

Week 6 saw me actually cringe at on TV injury for the first time probably ever. The Zakuani injury has been a huge thing in the news of MLS these last few days and more specifically the punishment that Mullan should suffer for it. These have ranged from a few game suspension (5 or so), longer suspensions (10+ games), or even "until Zakuani returns". Personally I fall into the middle option. I don't think he should be given the shorter option because of the fact that he did get up with the intent of going in hard, but I don't think he was out to hurt him specifically and most definitely not to do what he did.
Other highlights are Chivas managing their first win of the season, New York continuing it's success from the week before, and the return of Landon Donovan to the scoring ranks. It also saw some poor guessing on my part. One dead on result (Toronto/Columbus), 6 wrong, and 2 correct though off on score. The teams have begun to define themselves more though, and there was a lot of revealing play made this week. LA does need to worry though. They may sit at the top of the table, but RSL still has 4 games in hand and are only 3 points behind them.
So here's to teams having consistency from last week...
Wednesday April 27th
Real Salt Lake vs Monterrey - CCL Final 2nd Leg - The first leg saw RSL come away from Mexico with a 2-2 draw and bring home a great advantage. Kyle Beckerman being out is something none wanted to see, but the team historically does fine without him. Coming home to Rio Tinto with that result has to instill confidence. The claret and cobalt do not lose at home, the fan base is rabidly awaiting this game, and with all of their fans watching with a trophy on the line RSL will be playing for a lot of pride and a rare opportunity. Monterrey is coming off of a league game which it managed only a draw result on Saturday, their playoff hopes reseting on their next game against Chivas Guadalajara, and an elevation it is not used to having to deal with. Add in the weather change and I think you have a recipe for RSL hoisting a trophy tomorrow night. 2-1 RSL.
<<Edit Friday April 29th - Obviously this didn't happen, what a heart breaker. Still a great game was played it just ended up being problems of finishing. I worry about Saborio right now, his overall quality is great, but lately this slump is starting to cause issues over the entire team. He's doing good work though on defense and anytime a forward does that you should be happy, however his job is to score/help his partner up top score and in that he's not doing so well lately. One other note, the fan base was amazing and as hard as the game was to lose, seeing that was an experience in and of itself. Let's do that every week.>>
Friday April 29th
Houston Dynamo vs DC United - I don't think D.C. should be punished too hard for it's loss to NYRB last week. New York is just on a different level from 90% of the league, and that 90% still includes DCU. The one thing that should be looked at though is how D.C. played through the first part of the game. They did not seem like they were in it and didn't start trying until the game was well out of their reach. This game gives them an opportunity to redeem themselves by coming out and trying for the win that they need, but should they take that loss to NY as a crushing blow it could also be a game that will cause an even further slide down the table. Houston is playing fairly solid defense (5 GA in 6 games) and have been able to score enough to get results. If they can find their finishing touch I think they will contend for first in the East pretty well, they have looked solid across the board for the most part except the final third where the potential hasn't yielded results. Improvement can be seen in each game and I don't think that will stop here. DC's offense will end up keeping their leaky back line in the game with a 2-2 tie.
Saturday April 30th
Philadelphia Union vs San Jose Earthquakes - San Jose has not looked like the team that beat New York last year in the playoffs, and in order to succeed against a stingy and well rested Philadelphia they are going to need to find that groove. Someone had to lose to Chivas eventually, but making that your second in a row, and at home no less, was a blow to this team. Now travelling cross country to a place where the Union have allowed only one goal this season so far? Tough to say the least. Philly has to find it's offensive power though still, and they will float around 3rd-4th place in the East all year if they don't. Defenses do win championships, but only as much as beyond just not allowing the other team to score they provide the chances for their own offense to do so. If Philly figures out how to counter effectively the entire league should watch out. 1-0 Philly in the end though, with some close calls as San Jose pushes to get back in it late for the result.
Columbus Crew vs Vancouver Whitecaps FC- Good for Columbus: Getting a result on the road in Toronto. Bad for Columbus: Not properly capitalizing on the man advantage they had in that game. I think Columbus could have won that, they should have, but after they knotted it up at 1 just after the half they seemed to sit back content with a draw. Luckily this week they get to return home and face off against a team who while starting out with a high scoring presence at home can't do anything right away, nor even at home the last couple of weeks. Columbus will hold on for another win with a 2-0 result.
New York Red Bulls vs Sporting Kansas City - This match is a battle of two teams who are trending in completely different ways, both with the same velocity. New York has come out gunning the last two games, specifically Thierry Henry. He has found his game again from the way it looks. SKC on the other hand keeps dropping results that it shouldn't. It can't wait until June for it's home to open to get points. They also need to be conscious of what they are doing on the field as cards have caused too many games of having 10 players on the field. New York walks away with this one, 4-0 for a second week in a row.
Colorado Rapids vs Chicago Fire - Colorado's three game slide has shown that perhaps Connor Casey was a bit more important to them than they thought. Last week's loss to Seattle came while they were a man down, and if not for Keller's amazing saves I am pretty sure they still could have won it. They played well through the whole game and now have to be salivating at the prospect of hosting a weak Chicago team who has managed only 1 point in their last 4 matches. Chicago is just plain lost as to what to do. They are disjointed on the field and haven't been able to come together defensively. You can tell this is starting to filter over to their offense as since their last and only win in March they have produced more than one goal only once, but allowed multiple goals in just the opposite fashion, all but one. That was last weeks draw against Houston, a team that hasn't been able to finish to their potential for most of the season. In the end Colorado will show they can still win. 3-1 Rapids.
Seattle Sounders FC vs Toronto FC - I understand losing a teammate to such a nasty situation can be quite a blow to a team mentally, but Seattle really played like they were the ones a man down. The scoring play was a beautiful thing I thought, but the rest of the game was a sad thing. No pressure on the ball, and Montero was playing defense like he was Ronaldo, which is to say not at all. They have their home crowd to cheer them on this week though against a very weak Toronto team who are struggling to find their offensive identity in the last few weeks with only 2 goals in 4 games. I don't think they will have much luck this week with Tchani out for a celebration he should have known better than to do while on a yellow. Seattle has this, and it will be a good confidence booster for them going forward. 2-0.
Portland Timbers vs Real Salt Lake - Portland has managed so far to keep itself unbeaten at home in the last two games. Away obviously has been a challenge for the team, but at home their 7 goals in those two games are nothing to be scoffed at. The environment is one of the best in MLS as was expected. Sadly Portland, you get RSL this week. I want to point out that Kalif Alhassan has been a big boon to this team and I like the chance being taken with him. Chicago was easy, Dallas has been on a slide overall but still pushed you to the end. RSL doesn't come in with those problems. I'd truthfully be surprised if a situation similar to the New England game doesn't happen. The starters end up being mostly second team players who are well rested after the Wednesday CCL final, but perhaps not quite as many. With the late game slides that Portland has gone on this will provide all the chances RSL needs to walk out with a 3 point result. Your first home loss will sting, but just know it was at the hands of the best in the league. 2-0 RSL.
Chivas USA vs New England Revolution - Two quality goals gave Chivas it's first win of the season, and they did it away from home. The confidence gained from that is going to factor into this game and this will be one of the more exciting games of the week. New England is coming off a win against KC that they should feel good about, and they were productive offensively but their back line is still showing it's weakness. Their recent additions definitely have helped. Both teams won by the same differential last week, one side more offensively productive, the other stopping further scoring. In the end a 2-2 draw caps the 90 minutes.
Sunday May 1st
FC Dallas vs Los Angeles Galaxy - Sunday's game provides a nice cap to the week, giving a rematch of last year's Western Conference final. Dallas is a different team now though, between their woes in point production and the loss of David Ferreira they are hurting. Add in a defense that, while not full of holes, is showing some cracks and you have the recipe for a team that will struggle in a game against a very potent Galaxy. While they have won 3 of their last 5, drawing at the otehr two, LA's schedule in that time has been a mixed bag. Good teams such as Philly (Won 1-0) and DCU (T 1-1) have been quality teams, while the other three (Toronto 0-0 draw, Chicago 2-1 win, and Portland 3-0 win) have been teams that no one really has much good to point to. I think this will be another notch in LA's cap at 2-1, but look for Dallas to show it can still create chances often even without Ferreira.
There they be, 10 games, 9 MLS, 1 CCL.

Beautiful renovation of a classic
restaurant. Food, service and setting are spectacular. Short rib melted in mouth. Chopped salad was beautifully presented and delicious."

Bar Harbor, now remodeled is a
welcome addition to the Brainerd dining scene. True fine dining, great wine list and the live piano player was really fun. We finished the Porterhouse for Two, then bellied up "piano side" to the piano bar and really enjoyed the evening."

I have been coming to this
restaurant for many years usually stopping by for a drink and an appetizer while on the boat. This restaurant is beautiful outside and gorgeous inside. It always amazes me walking inside at how perfectly done it is. The food has always seemed inconsistent from good to bad, bad to great. The current menu is dramatically overpriced and the chef over butters everything. While the food was still good, it was lost in butter. The service was great though! It's hard to find great places to eat on the lake these days. For my money, I'd rather go to Grand View or take the car over to Ivens."

Have enjoyed lots of weekends in
the lakes area, but never tried Bar Harbor until last weekend. Friends recommended it highly. Our group of four had a mix of fish, steak, ribs and they were all excellent. Wine selection was very good, but then I spilled my glass of wine and the staff changed out the table cloth, got some club soda to soak some spots on clothes, then replaced my glass of wine gratis. Above and beyond the call of duty, and helped offset my embarrassment a little. We will be back and I promise to be more careful."

They were very busy but maintained
good service. The au gratin potatoes were dry and not cheesy. Otherwise very good but expensive!"
Dined on 7/26/2014
The room temperature was VERY cool
and a vent directly above us blew very cold air on us all during our stay. We asked the waitress several times if the temperature could be lowered but she said that she couldn't because there were too many people there ( the restaurant was less than 1/4 full and it was 8:30 PM with the group thinning. We finally went to our car ant put on jackets to eat our meal. It was very unpleasant surroundings and took away some of the joy of our celebration. The food was great but the atmosphere was chilly!!!!!"
Dined on 7/22/2014
Waiter seemed to be rushing us so
he could get another table turned. The kitchen was slow. Poorly cooked rare steak - it came medium well done on an ice cold plate. I sent it back. Another ice cold plate with a properly cooked steak followed 7 minutes later. Portions of other's meals were diminutive. Serving hash browns with steak that costs 38.00 a plate is a travesty. Vegetables were over cooked. Salad was undersized and some of the lettuce was going bad. It was slimy and brown in places."

We had encrusted walleye, sobu Ahi
Tuna, and shrimp scampi and all were excellent. We eat out often in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and this compares to any of our better dining experiences. Would definitely recommend. Our Waitress, Grace, was exceptional!"

An excellent restaurant with great
food. It has a combination of old favorites, as well as new dishes to make sure there is something to explore. They are always deliciously executed and served with a friendly smile. There is also an outdoor area for those who prefer more traditional bar food. I would recommend it to anyone who is in the area."

The experience at Bar Harbor was
very good. The atmosphere was vibrant the view was excellent and the food was good. The decore fit the location and looked like it had been updated very recently. A nice outdoor patio on a channel from Gull Lake. A very nice scene. Would recommend it to anyone."

served was nothing special. The salmon was cold, the prime rib was well done, and the Tuna was not flavorful. However the scallops were very good. The atmosphere is always very nice at Bar Harbor. But we were disappointed in the food."

We made reservations for our
Anniversary. We were placed in the bar side--which is ok because we are younger and can handle the loud energetic crowd. Beautiful scenic view of the lake/boats. Food was superb! It did take a really long time but our waitress was very clear about that. Fantastic service."

Had a wonderful time. Outdoor
water and people watching pre dinner was great. Piano music hit the spot and set the mood for dining. Food was very good."

Friendly staff, exceptional food,
great view. Had our anniversary dinner, great drinks, lobster was fabulous, volcano brownie sundae was luscious to top the whole meal off. Will be back. Hopefully when it is not raining to sit out on the patio! Would love to go when the fire pit is going would be a beautiful view over the lake."

We have gone to many fine dinning
establishments but this was the first to put sheets of paper over their liens' pretty tacky! Our waiter was a wonderful guy but brought an "awe shucks" kind of service. They also have pull tabs...... Not a fine dinning experience! Maybe it's just a great bar?"

The food took almost 2 hours to
cook. Nice waitress but overall horrible service."

The food was excellent and service

Our family - adults and 92 year
old Dad - had an early dinner in a booth overlooking the lake with cocktails and wine. Each of us ordered something different - prime rib, stuffed shrimp, harbor surf (shrimp) and turf, and walleye. Everyone loved the meal. The shrimp, steaks, prime rib and the walleye were perfectly prepared and tasty. The house salad was crisp with a good mixture of vegetables and a light dressing. We had two different Cabernet's -both excellent at below $50. Our server was attentive and conversed especially with our dad - who was delighted. A perfect evening!"

My 92 year old Dad and I had
cocktails, dinner, and wine on Friday evening. We both had the Prime Rib - delicious and done as we ordered - medium and medium rare. The cheese hasbrowns were tasty and a good accomopaniment - as were the beans and salad. I had not heard of the cabernet and was given a taste prior to ordering a bottle. It was reasonably priced and delicious - paired well with the Prime Rib. Service was excellent and we had a window booth the looked out onto the ice - prompting wishes for spring coming soon."

I made a 7 pm reservation for my
birthday dinner and was not seated until 720. The front end looked disorganized and employees looked stressed. Once we sat down, it was several minutes before anyone came by the table. The waiter did a good job trying to make up for it, but it made for a tough night. The food was just ok. Not worth the price in my opinion."

We normally give this place a ten
on everything but for valentines day they squashed in extra tables for people so that you are almost sitting in someone's lap. No privacy and not vey romantic."

We went to Bar Harbor to celebrate
our 17th Anniversary. It was a wonderful evening! Food was amazing and our server brought us an assortment off truffles as a special Anniversary treat. Service was awesome and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxing."

Bar Harbor is often at its best
when it is not jammed; such was the case when we last visited. Service was just great, with Chandra doing all that was needed. Food was very good, as is usually the case. We'll be back, but more infrequently, as BH is operating it's winter schedule for the next few months."

Waitperson took our drink order,
mentioned the prime rib special. It was over 20 to place our order. I wasn't that busy. Orders came in another 20 minutes. 2 got the prime on a bed of Au Gratin, a side of very limp, unrecognizable greens. It was extremely salty, into the body of the meat. My slice was very fatty, gristly. We were asked if we wanted a different slice, both declined. This was supposed to be a 'special' that we both like and know well. At $29, it was way over-priced; a similar dish at another local restaurant is less expensive and far more satisfying. The entire menu is over-priced for the types of food offered. I should have requested a different entrée. I doubt if this group will be returning for a dinner of this size again."

This was a birthday dinner, and we
go to Bar Harbor for all of our special dinners because of the service, food and ambiance. Lisa was very experienced, friendly and most accomodating"

We love eating at Bar Harbor. We
alwasy see someone we know from the community. The food is great. The atmosphere is perfect. They have a person playing panio and singing and he is good. It sets a really nice feel. We have not had a bad experience when eating there. My husband loves that they have pull tabs there too."

We really enjoyed our dinner at
Bar Harbor. It has that grest supper club ambience with good food and great service. We had a variety of entrees at our table and everyone enjoyed what they had. This restaurant pays attention to the important details like a well made house salad on a chilled salad plate and good rolls in the bread basket. When we're in the area again we'll certainly go back."

Husband and sisters went here for
a nice dinner. Service was slow. Lost appetizer order but offered to bring late and gave 3 free desserts. Entrees and salads were superb. Left over steak was wonderful the next day. Creme brulee did not have a crusty crunchy sugar top."

First time to Bar Harbor since
they remodeled. Ambience certainly updated - could have been a little brighter dining at night. Food was very good, service prompt an d attentive. Felt like prices were a little high so would look to go here more on special ocassions instead of regular basis."

We were celebrating our son's and
his wife's birthdays (in September) and the announcement that they are expecting their first child. We had a fabulous time; food was fantastic; service was extraordinary. Kitchen sent out cupcakes for the celebrations. Very, very nice. We have a place on Gull Lake so love going to Bar Harbour."

We have eaten at Bar Harbor
several times this summer. It was remodeled last year and they have turned it into a warm and inviting restaurant with a great outdoor eating area that overlooks Gull Lake. They get an A+ for a job well done. I have to say that I was not happy with the food or wine list at the beginning of the summer, which was very disappointing. We went back last weekend for one more try and were very impressed! Everything that we ordered was delicious and they have greatly improved the wine list! We ordered their house salad, wedge salad, Hamburger, black and blue steak, risotto, and pasta carbonara and all were delicious. We will definatly go back and would recommend it to our friends."

10LeAnn Rimes Looks … Different
Does she have her teeth out or something? What's that? She doesn't wear dentures? Oh. Could have fooled me. Them there's some pretty crazy-looking veneers, then.
I mean, what's going on with her face? Did she swallow a few of those veneers? I don't know. I just can't even imagine what's going on inside that mouth of hers today, guys.
Also, Extra TV recently caught up with LeAnn and Eddie—and since it's been a whole, like, ten days since we last talked about LeAnn and the Creepiest Birthday Cake of All Time, I figured I'd let you guys in on this little gem of a video. It features LeAnn and her husband talking about just how well they've gotten to know one another over the last year of their marriage. Because, you know, they celebrated their one-year wedding anniversary just about eight weeks ago AND THEY'RE STILL TALKING ABOUT IT. Just … just watch the video, OK?
Ugh, Josh Brolin is LeAnn's celebrity crush. I'm sure he's feeling really good today, too. And Eddie doesn't have a celebrity crush? Come on, how coached of an answer is that? LeAnn probably gave him the death stare while he answered that question. I have no doubts that the guy's ass was clenched like a fist. I don't know. I tuned out right around that part and started looking at the photo of LeAnn's teeth again.
Can we get a discussion going on what's happening with LeAnn's ever-evolving grill? They're big, they're small, they're white, they're ultrabrite … I can barely keep up. I HAVE TOOTH FATIGUE.

10 Responses to "LeAnn Rimes Looks … Different"
She does look different, but I think it's because her forehead looks a little…eh, 'refreshed'? Couldn't bring myself to watch the video though
Ew! Her brow bone is all neanderthal and raised, right between the eyes.
Definitely something going on between her eyes, that wasn't there before. Coincidentally, she was complaining about tooth pain and going to the dentist the other day. Every time she goes to the dentist, it seems, her face comes out looking differently. She's not very good at lying.
She looks like she's lost about 15 pounds. That's why her teeth look "funny". Ever see a sun-dried corpse picture? Tan & teeth, baby.
She put a thumbnail photo on her twitter of her with brown hair, that is absolutely terrifying! Long upper lip and slitty eyes… I don't know, it has me thinking of scary old Joan Crawford movies.
Different = butt ugly.
She certainly doesn't have a pretty face but I have to say her body is amazing. Best celebrity bikini body around, for sure. Leann should live in her bikini and never take it off.
Can we say anorexic??
Of course they are still talking about how "blissful" their first year of married life is; afterall, Eddie is cheating on Leann. What better way to convince people that her hubby isn't sleeping with other woman or still pining for his ex-wife, than to have Extra release parts of an interview that they did about 4 weeks ago each and every week. Yeap, that will once and for all put all rumors to rest about Eddie's affairs right? What celebrity couple spends this much time validating their marriage and attempting to prove that her husband isn't cheating on her?Is Leann Eddie's beard?
What was left out of the interview, is the fact that Eddie and Leann were not alone when they did this interview. On other sites the woman who Leann made out with while Eddie watched and took photos was at the event with them. Leann is hiding her husband's mistress in plain sight.
It's not hard to guess who Eddie's celebrity crush is. All you have to do is pay attention to who Leann is copying at the moment. Josh Brolin? Did Eddie's ex-wife tweet about Josh Brolin or mention watching a movie with Josh Brolin in it?
What is wrong with Leann's face? Her hubby doesn't like the way she looks so she keeps having surgeries to fix her face, only to realize that no matter what she does to her face, Eddie will never like her.
LeAnn just looks…fugly. Nothing new, same old butter face. She always appears to be clutching, holding, hanging onto Eddie. Must suck knowing he will cheat on you at any moment? I'm guessing that Eddie has gotten sick of having to "do" that face for ca$h about right now. He must constantly close his eyes so he doesn't have to peer into those slits. If they ever have the misfortune of having a child together….OMG – the kid won't have any eyes….just lizardlike slits. LeAnn is anorexic which makes her ginormous mouth/veneers appear even bigger. Her big fake boobs stick out of her bony chest. Man, she is one fugly woman. Yuck.

Cooperstown Crier
From the Otsego Herald
for Saturday, Oct. 23, 1813
Compiled, with comments
by HUGH C. MacDOUGALL
Disaster on the Mobile
From Gen. Ferdinand L. Claiborne to Gen. Flourney...3d Sept. 1813.... The attack on Maj. Beasley was made at about 11 o'clock A.M. on the 30th [August]. It was unexpected at the moment it occurred, but the whole garrison was immediately under arms. The front gate was open, and the enemy ran in great numbers to possess themselves of it. In the contest for the gate, many fell on both sides; soon, however, the action became general, the enemy fighting on all sides in the open field, and as near the stockade as they could get.
The port holes were taken and retaken several times. A block house was contended for by Capt. Jack, at the head of his brave riflemen...for the space of an hour before the enemy set fire to the roofs, and an attempt to extinguish the flames proved unsuccessful.
The few who remained now attempted to retreat under the direction of Capt. Bayley of the militia, and Ensign Chamberlise of the rifle company, both of whom had been badly wounded. Previously to their retreat, they threw into the flames many of the guns of the dead men. Few of them succeeded in escaping. Both the officers are missing and presumed dead. Nine of the volunteers and three of the volunteer militia have reached this [place], several of them wounded. A few citizens who fought in the stockade, but not enrolled in any company, also escaped, one of them leaving a wife and six children, who were probably burnt to death.
Major Beasley fell gallantly fighting at the head of his command near the gate, at the commencement of the action.; Capts Jack and Middleton were killed about the close of the scene, having each previously received many wounds. The latter was active and fought bravely from the commencement of the action until he died. Lieut. S. M. Osborn, of Milkinson county after receiving two wounds was taken into a house, but requested to die on the ground, that he might as long as possible see his men fight. The other officers fell nobly doing their duty; and the non-commissioned officers & privates deserve equally well. The action continued until five o'clock in the evening.
Our loss is great; sixty-five including officers and men killed belonging to the 1st Regiment of Mississippi Territory volunteers, and 27 volunteer militia, officers included. Many respectable citizens, with numerous families who had abandoned their farms for security, were also killed or burnt in the houses into which they had fled.
The loss of the enemy must have been from 150 to 200 killed and wounded. Their force is supposed to have been from five to seven hundred....
COMMENT: If the War of 1812 is largely forgotten today, the fighting between Creek Indians and American troops (and civilian volunteers) in the American southeast is almost totally so. The Fort Mims Massacre of Aug. 30th, 1813, described above, was one of the most horrific events of this campaign. Fort Mims was a stockade and blockhouse surrounding the home of Samuel Mims, some 35 miles north of today's Mobile, Ala.
Not mentioned in this "heroic" account is that Major Daniel Beasley, the American commander, is said to have been drunk and to have ignored warnings of an imminent attack. His force, totaling some 526 men including militia and volunteers, was attacked by almost 1,000 Indians (who had been given arms by the Spanish authorities in Florida). Some 517 of the American force were killed or captured.
The "Fort Mims Massacre" spread panic throughout the Southeast, which ended only on March 27, 1814, when American and allied Indians under Major General (and later President) Andrew Jackson decisively defeated the Creek Indians at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend near Tohopeka, Ala.
Married, on Thursday last, Mr. John Williams to Miss Sophia Stephens, both of this town.
COMMENT: This was the second of three wives for John Williams (1790-1879); they were (1) Julia Tanner (1793-1812); Sophia Stephens (1796-1826); and Mary Polly Metcalf (1799-1869). He had a total of three children, of which Julia, born in 1816, lived until 1903. John came from Connecticut and was a farmer.
DR. J. JACKSON, presents his warmest thanks to the inhabitants of the town of Westford and its vicinity, for the truly liberal patronage they have bestowed upon him, in his practice of Physic & Surgery.
He would, however, remind his more negligent employers, that to carry on a successful contest with the numerous diseases incident to the human frame, it is necessary that he should be provided with the "sinews of war," and to that end a more general payment of his demands is absolutely necessary, and will ere long be rigidly enforced, unless timely prevented.
He still holds himself in readiness to attend to all calls in his profession, and no exertions will be wanting to give satisfaction to all those who may please to bestow on him their patronage.
*** Wheat, Rye, Corn and Oats will be taken in payment.
Westford, Oct. 23, 1813.
COMMENT: Dr. John Jackson and his brother Dr. Elhanan W. Jackson practiced in Westford, beginning at least as early as 1811. After about 1820 they and two fellow doctors used the tiny doctor's office now at the Farmers' Museum in Cooperstown. John died about 1830; his brother continued there until 1856. John's "plea" that his customers pay their bills is one of the more picturesque that we have seen.
Fort George Captured
The enemy have left the vicinity of Fort George; Gen. M'Clure is closely pursuing them, with about 2000 men volunteers, militia and Indians. It is believed he will pursue them at least to the Forty Mile Creek.
COMMENT: Ft. George was the major British fort on the Niagara Peninsula.

George Schultz for Perry Village Council
If re-elected, Schultz said he will make snowplowing and sidewalk shoveling a first priority.
In addition, he said he will maintain police department funding and help seniors throughout the village.
"We as a council and mayor have taken pay cuts to help our financial issues, and our maintenance department and police have not had any pay raises for a number of years," Schultz said.
He has served on council for 12 years.

There is a lot going on in big-time pro wrestling - what do YOU think about it?
Cast a vote for whomever's work entertained or impressed the most in the last week, and feel free to talk about why in the comments.
The Smark's Shoot Standings (S3) also keep an annual tally of YOUR votes, and this edition takes an in-depth look back at the first three months of voting. Does it tell us anything meaningful about sports entertainment or YOUR fandom? Keep reading and decide for YOURSELF.
Remember, the poll is for the previous week - RAW from July 9th, the July 12th Impact, the Smackdown that aired on Friday the 13th and WWE's Money in the Bank Pay-Per-View (PPV).
Make YOUR mark, smarks!
Do YOU think he's prouder of his TNA World Heavyweight Championship or for being the first TNA wrestler to win an S3 weekly poll?
TNA's Destination X PPV was clearly a hit with S3 Voters, as two members of and the new champ that brought legitimacy back to the division that show celebrates all finished in the top ten. WWE's AJ was knocked from her perch for the first time in a month, but still finished strong. Meanwhile, the rejuvenation of Alberto Del Rio and the consistency of Chris Jericho seem to indicate that Smarks love a good trolling.
The S3 - Week Ending July 8
1. Austin Aries
2. AJ Lee
3. Kenny King
4. Alberto Del Rio
5. Tyson Kidd
6. Chris Jericho
7. Zema Ion
8. Zack Ryder
9. CM Punk
10. (tie) Big Show
10. (tie) Heath Slater
In lieu of the usual The S3 Performer of the Year list, and at the request of Friend of the S3 Manolo Has Pizzazz, we present our first QUARTERLY S3 DATA DUMP (the S3D2)!
Some observations:
- Our current annual standings leader has never won a weekly S3. While some claim to be tired of him, or even mockingly refer to him as "CM Cena", Punk is enjoying a long run with the WWE strap, can still put on a fantastic match, is over with the masses and at least not revolting to some of YOU.
- While not too many folks have claimed a weekly top prize and the big ten points that comes with it, Punk and the new World Heavyweight Championship Money in the Bank briefcase holder are proof that just remaining in the conversation, even if they're not dominating it, is one way to succeed.
- The WWE seems to have a hard time keeping a buzz going about someone. It's doesn't simply seem that YOU have short attention spans. Lesnar and his story come and go week-to-week. Laurinaitis' rise and fall both occurred before I had time to learn how to spell his name. Big Show is an unstoppable force for a month and then not even on TV a week after a PPV loss. Is this booking in the Twitter era?
- It's probably too late to change it this "year" without seriously screwing things up, but is ten too many for the Standings? We've had weeks of low Vote totals where barely ten different wrestlers place, and there are a lot of performers who have a point or two and may never get another.
As context for newcomers, the fine print probably bears reposting here:
A wrestler must appear on a nationally televised pro wrestling program (currently WWE RAW, Smackdown or TNA Impact) or a PPV promoted on one of those shows to be included in the weekly S3 poll. Those receiving votes in the prior week typically will appear in the poll, unless they do not appear on television during the week that the poll covers. Wrestlers playing a major role in a story or angle, given significant promo time or involved in a lengthy and/or widely acclaimed match will be listed on the poll regardless of whether or not they received votes in the prior week. If YOU smarks think we've excluded someone, cast YOUR vote for that person in the comments, and state YOUR case for why that vote should count. Provided a decent justification, YOUR vote will be tabulated and that wrestler will be listed in the next poll.
The annual S3 is based on the weekly results, with a first place finish being worth ten points, a second worth nine, and so on. Ties will result in the points that each spot would have received being distributed equally among the number of wrestlers involved in the tie. For example: Bobby Roode, Mark Henry and Kharma tie for fifth, occupying spots five (5 points), six (4 points) and seven (3 points) in the standings. The twelve points awarded for those spots are split three ways, and they each receive four points toward Performer of the Year.
What pops out at YOU? Who are YOU Voting for this week? Want to just thank us for still having a click-based poll? Comment or no - we appreciate the views, time and Votes. See YOU next week.

I can't explain why, but LeBron James was extremely prevalent in my day Monday, a day in the middle of August when virtually no one is thinking about basketball.
I come to work, and realize I had to return to someone a copy of LeBron James' biography that's been sitting in my car for a couple of months. So, while carrying that around, I go to Medina Municipal Court for my daily check on felonies. Leaving the counter, one of the clerks calls for a man with a last name of "LeBron" to come to the window. The man's last name was also listed on the daily docket I check.
On my way to returning the book, Medina's finance director tells me Dru Joyce, LeBron's former coach at Akron St. Vincent-St. Mary High School, and the current coach at the University of Akron, will be speaking to his Kiwanis Club meeting on Thursday. I'll be going. Stay tuned for a blog post.
So, is this all coincidence? Or a series of cryptic messages telling me I need to become part of LeBron's posse? You decide.

Criminal Defense of Financial Cases
The most interesting cases I work are criminal cases for defendants accused of financial crimes such as money laundering, tax fraud, bribery and corruption, embezzlement, and investment fraud. I do my best work as a forensic accountant and fraud investigator in cases in which a trail of money must be followed through a complex web of people, entities, and bank accounts.
Peers and colleagues often question my desire to do criminal defense work. CPAs often see themselves as financial watchdogs, especially when they are providing traditional accounting or auditing services. The see themselves on the "right side" of the law, and can't get their heads around the idea of a CPA helping a criminal.
Aside from the fact that criminal defense work is interesting, the service is needed. When a person is accused of a crime, she or he has a right to her or his day in court. She or he has a right to a defense, and that is an important check and balance in the criminal justice system. A criminal deserves to be held responsible for the crime committed, nothing more and nothing less.
My work in the defense of criminal financial cases involves checking the numbers alleged by the government, as well as coming up with evidence in support of defenses against the allegations. There are times when it is clear the defendant is guilty of something, but my work is necessary to determine the correct figures and related evidence. Sometimes, the government's theory of the crime and the numbers involved is complex, and a financial expert is needed to validate the numbers, come up with alternatives, and ensure that the right numbers are being used in the prosecution.
I do well with complex financial cases because I can see the big picture of the alleged crime, dig down into the details with extreme precision, but not get bogged down in those details. It is no secret that the government can be aggressive in charging defendants with crimes. It is necessary to critically analyze the numbers alleged by law enforcement and refute those numbers with hard evidence.
Not every financial expert has the stomach for criminal defense work. I happen to find it very interesting, and I provide a good work product both on paper and in a courtroom. The most important part of my job, however, is being honest with the numbers. The numbers don't lie. The evidence is often very definitive, and it is up to me to report my findings accurately. It is never okay to lie or stretch the truth in the defense of an alleged criminal. (Note that there is a difference between presenting evidence in the best light possible for the defendant, and stretching the truth.)
Sometimes attorneys retain me in the defense of financial crimes to tell them the truth about their client. They want an outside, independent party with fraud and financial analysis skills to examine the evidence and tell them exactly where they stand in their fight with law enforcement. Most of the time I write an expert report and work in conjunction with the criminal defense attorney as the case moves through the criminal justice system. Other times I report my findings to the attorney, and am not presented as an expert witness because my findings are not helpful to the defense. (i.e. The evidence shows the defendant did it.)
Still, there are peers and colleagues who will criticize my work on the side of criminal defendants. I will continue to do this type of work because my integrity is intact, but most importantly, because I have unique skills that can aid in the defense of people and companies accused of financial crimes.

Care must be taken in these engagements to work for the lawyers, not the accused. Also, payment of fees can be a problem since most white collar crooks only have the fruits of their crime to use for the payment of fees. Otherwise, this can be a very interesting niche.
I agree with your blog. I have been involved in the practice of criminal defense as a CPA for the past four years. Often, I find public defender office has a hard time sorting out the financial records of the alleged criminals. Bare in mind, these are alleged criminals,until proven in a trial. I also have worked on embezzlements, investment frauds, tax evasions, insurance frauds, payroll frauds, and ponzi schemes. These are typical criminal cases. I, as a CPA, am to gather facts and present them as they are; therefore, I am independent and the Court systems appreciate such role that we play as CPAs. The only downside is that the compensation is often not as good as civil cases.
Note to the author of this blog: Please let me know your thoughts on my comments.

Dave – I recommend being paid in advance in these cases to avoid future problems.
Kenny – Yes I agree with you.
I am interested in getting involved in this type of work (forensic accouting) any advise on how to get started. My background has been consulting on financial re-statement at a few large companies which utilizes similar skill sets.
Any advice would be great!

Games Makers back in demand
After huge success in 2012, the volunteering charity Join In has announced it wants to to build on the spirit created by the London 2012 volunteers to deliver the biggest summer of volunteering in grassroots sport.
The aim of this year's Join In campaign is for clubs to host events and open days between July 27 and September 9 - a year on from the Olympics and Paralympics - and ask Games Makers plus other potential volunteers to turn up and join in.
Here are some of the other places you can look for volunteering opportunities
- Team London - Team London is the Mayor of London's programme for all Londoners. The aim is to make volunteering easier to do and easier to find out about.
- Do It - YouthNet is the charity behind Do-It. They and their partners in volunteer centres across the country make sure that those who want to volunteer can do so easily and quickly
- Greater London Volunteering - the regional partnership body for volunteering in London
- Timebank - projects designed to tackle social issues, focusing on mentoring and youth-led voluteering
- Volunteering England - committed to supporting, enabling and celebrating volunteering in all its diversity.
- Guardian volunteering jobs - Find the latest volunteering jobs on Guardian Jobs

– David Cameron
"Of all the highlights of our 2012 summer of sport, the volunteers were perhaps the most memorable. People from up and down the country who gave their time and passion to put a smile on the nation's face. We all want to harness that spirit and ensure that what happened last summer is the beginning of a great volunteering legacy for our country."
London 2012 volunteers, who helped make the Olympics and Paralympics a success, received an email from Join In patron Eddie Izzard urging them to dust off the purple and red uniform and sign up.People are encouraged to visit the website here to find out more about how you can get involved with volunteering in London in 2013
– Lord Coe, London 2012 Chairman
"We enjoyed one of the greatest summers in living memory with the Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the world saw the very best of what Britain had to offer. We now need to tap into what we started last summer and deliver a clear legacy over the next 10 years or so. Behind every athlete is a legion of volunteers who have helped them on their way. Initiatives such as Join In will help create a platform for local clubs to promote themselves and attract new volunteers to help us deliver on our vision to inspire a generation."
– Sir Charles Allen, Join In Chairman
"Join In was born last summer against the backdrop of amazing Olympic and Paralympic Games and a hugely successful volunteer programme. As a result of that and with a short run-up, we achieved great things. This year we need to continue the momentum - and Games Makers can help us do this."
The London 2012 Olympics has inspired 3.4 million people to volunteer, according to a recent survey of UK adults.
The research, carried out by ICM Research for the Community Service Volunteers Make a Difference Day campaign, saw 7 per cent of respondents say that the games have inspired them to volunteer, which when weighted to the UK adult population gives the 3.4 million figure.

Now you maybe wondering why I'm writing about something that happened three years ago, well here's why.
I was recently re-watching the Cowboys Hard Knocks marathon the other day on the NFL network and there was one thing that jumped out to me. It was during an offensive meeting, then Offensive Coordinator Garrett was talking and he was talking about his favorite coaches. He said that his favorite coaches were the ones that got on you when you did something wrong, not coddled you if you screwed up.
I believe this is what makes him the right man for the job, and you can see this in the coaches he has hired. Jimmy Robinson is a guy who will be a friend to the players if they want him to be, but if they screw up he will get on their butts. Rob Ryan has benched players like Shaun Rodgers and Michael Huff. With pro athletes, who are extremely talented, the best way to get their attention is to take a way their playing time. I'm not going to predict a Super Bowl run for our beloved Cowboys, but I think win or lose, we will be proud of the team because they will put the effort in, basically if any defensive player pulls a Mike Jenkins, he'll be on the bench, and any offensive player that doesn't give effort for whatever reason will be too. I think we will be a team that teams don't like to play against.

Mozilla Firefox 32 Officially Released
It's been a little over a month since the previous Firefox stable release and the developers have now pushed a new major update to users. This latest iteration of Firefox brings just a few major features for regular users, but it excels in other areas like better HTML 5 support. The official announcement for Mozilla Firefox 32 hasn't been made public just yet, but the mirrors now host the latest stable versions. It will take them a while to post anything official, and some time may go by until this new release hits the repositories, but you now can get to see what has changed.
Time For the GNU/Linux Desktop
M[icrosoft] has deliberately violated the laws of competition in USA and elsewhere repeatedly, systematically and with malice. They are out to get us. At first they got an exclusive deal with IBM to get their foot in the door, piggybacking on IBM's branding with business, then they demanded exclusive deals with ISVs and manufacturers, then they punished any manufacturer who stepped out of line and installed competing products, then they created an endless chain of incompatible file-format changes and created whole industries based on the existence of overly complex secret protocols and finally forced the world to accept a closed standard as an open standard… That whole burden has served to render IT more expensive to own and to operate and much more fragile than it should be just on technical merits.
5 tips on migrating to open-source software
Open source is not just for Linux. Yes, you'll certainly find a much larger selection of open-source software for the Linux platform, but both Windows and Apple also enjoy a good number of titles. Regardless of what Free Open Source Software (FOSS) you need to use, you might not always find it the most natural evolution -- especially when you've spent the whole of your career using proprietary software. The thing is, a lot of open-source software has matured to the point where it rivals (and sometimes bests) its proprietary counterpart.

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is back on FUEL TV later this evening with UFC 101 starring Kenny Florian. No, not UFC 101 as in "Declaration," UFC 101 as in "school is in session."
Straight from "KenFlo" via the official press release:
"Mixed martial arts is still a growing sport. It's important that we educate the new and core fans about MMA and this show will do just that. In it we talk about tactical stuff, statistics and technical aspects of the sport. This is a big step forward to getting people to understand the strategies in the Octagon. We break down and explain why guys fight against the cage, what a striker or a wrestler is trying to do, why someone is in the guard and why someone passes the guard."
Elementary, my dear Florian.
UFC 101: "The Fundamentals" will break down the basics of UFC bouts by "explaining each of the eight weight classes, the rules of the fights and how judges score each round." This kinda stuff comes in handy for those guys at your gym who "train UFC, bro."
Joining Florian will be former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans to deconstruct the "different fighting styles including striking, wrestling, Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu" including the breakdown of "different types of submissions such as triangle chokes, arm bars and rear naked chokes."
Take notes, white belts.
Tune in TONIGHT (Mon., Sept. 3, 2012) at 11:30 p.m. ET on FUEL TV and talk, complain, whine, boast -- whatever it is you do -- about the program in the comments section below. Or, leave it on in the background and instead dazzle us with your Labor Day war stories.
See you tonight!

There is something reassuringly comforting and unpretentious about soup. It has the same potential to cheer you up as ice cream and comes in as many different flavours and textures if not more.
Pretty much every country and culture in the world has a recipe for soup or broth, from Britain to Bolivia and beyond. A bowl of hot steaming soup on a miserable winters day has the restorative power of a soothing mix tape of whale songs, a warm fire, meditation and a healthy glug of Asterix's magic potion combined. Plus you don't have to be a MasterChef to make soup either.

Question of the Week
Were You a Jock Star or a Cool Kid? Has It Helped You Get Ahead?
Posted Nov 3, 2010 12:01 PM CDT
By Sarah Mui
Last week, we noted a column by Andrews Kurth partner Kathleen Wu discussing how, at large law firms, anyway, high school cliques seem to persist.
"Jocks, cheerleaders, nerds, bullies and drama geeks—firms have them all. They just wear nicer clothes now," she says. "They're the ones who do Starbucks runs together, hang out after work and take cool group vacations. They somehow find the time to lunch together every day, regardless of how much work they have."
And while Wu says popularity means nothing if your work can't stand on its own, she pointed out in her Texas Lawyer column that a little swagger, whatever its source, can go a long way. "Confidence plus competence equals clients," she writes "And, for lawyers, clients are the social capital that keeps on giving."
Vivia Chen has observed at Careerist that being an athlete—or at least a sports fan—gets one "special passes" at law firms. "I do remember, from my law firm days, a former varsity football player getting plum assignments and lots of client exposure, even though he had failed the bar three times," Chen wrote.
This made us wonder...
Were you a jock star or a cool kid in high school or college? Or not exactly? What about now? Do you or others you work with who have athletic prowess or ease in social situations also have a quiet confidence that helps professionally? Do you or co-workers with sports accomplishments, etc., get special attention from supervisors or clients? Or do you think success ultimately comes down to work product, with personalities (or faces) meaning little?
Answer in the comments.

Clegg aware of 'indirect and non-specific concerns'
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said he had been aware of "indirect and non-specific concerns" in 2008 about alleged inappropriate behaviour towards women by Liberal Democrats' former chief executive Lord Rennard.
The allegations made on Channel 4 concerning Lord Rennard last Thursday were extremely serious and distressing to the women involved.
It is critical they are investigated thoroughly and dealt with properly and they will be.
But I would like to make one thing crystal clear.
I did not know about these allegations until Channel 4 informed the party of them shortly before they were broadcast.
I have today spoken to one of the women in the broadcast who I respect and admire and who confirmed that she had never raised the issue with me.
I am angry and outraged at the suggestion that I would not have acted if these allegations had been put to me.
Indeed, when indirect and non-specific concerns about Chris Rennard's conduct reached my office in 2008, we acted to deal with them.
My Chief of Staff at the time, Danny Alexander, put these concerns to Chris Rennard and warned him that any such behaviour was wholly unacceptable.
Chris Rennard categorically denied that he had behaved inappropriately and he continues to do so.
He subsequently resigned as Chief Executive on health grounds.

11/8/07 Bulls vs. Pistons a win.
Noah's line: 12 minutes, 5 rebs, 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 pts
11/6/07 Bulls vs. Clips a loss.
Noah's line: 19 minutes, 4 rebs, 3 blocks, 1 steal, 2 pts
11/6/07 Warriors vs. Cavs, a loss.
Brandan Wright's line: 4 minutes, 1 rebound
It's still early in the season but Joakim Noah looks NBA ready as far as defense and rebounding. He can rebound and block shots. He missed a couple layups in the first game and fans thought "he wasn't exactly good" afterwards. Word in the Chicago Bulls blog is that Coach Skiles told Noah to shut up after his first game interview and that Noah has not really learned the plays. Noah says there's no problem with Coach and he'll "shut up if Coach wants that."
Brandan Wright looks like a true athlete. But the guy is skinnier than Joe Smith ever was. The Warriors don't really need BWs game now. They need more defense and rebounding and that's Noah's game.

Ok, so sorry this code is so messy, but I have a simple(I think) question....how can I add line totals together and display a total. the line total is the quantity * price piece at the end. I am using a web sql(I know it is depracated, but that is what I am using) and I need to be able to add all the line totals to give me one "lump sum" total. does this kindof make sense as to what I want to do? I am fairly new to javascript so I am not sure how complicated or simple this may be...I could easily do in PHP....but javascript is a completely different story. any help is greatly appreciated

well it needs to be a total of all the price*quantities added together. I am not sure how this "return" works. In PHP it would work inside of a loop, but I am not sure whether this is a loop or what it is.
Neither are we sure.
I can't figure out what the point of the return is.
I can't figure out why you are putting all the HTML code into JavaScript.
It just doesn't make lots of sense, at all.
Maybe if you showed us a live web page?
