Cynical

Starting next year, the IRS is requiring professional tax preparers to become registered (for a fee). To become registered, a tax preparer will have to pass a competency test (for a fee of course). No grandfathering. To maintain registration, each tax preparer will need to take continuing education of at least 15 hours a year.** Active attorneys, CPA's, and enrolled agents are exempt from the CE requirements (they have their own CE requirements already) Preparers will need to re-register every three years. **Side note: for those bashing H & R Block, said company requires it's people to take 24 hours of CE every year. Does that mean H & R Block is "superior"? No. It means going to the Block is potentially no better or no worse than going to any other "tax pro".

There are two ways to declare sales tax. One: Like you said. Save every bloody receipt for everything bought, and add all up the sale tax. Two: Use the safe harbor number, (an estimated amount taken from a table, and dependent upon your income), plus all large purchases (cars, boats, etc ...).

Oh yeah, she's definitely a doer.

For about the past 3 years (IIRC), you can/could choose to deduct state income tax paid or sales tax, which ever gives you the better deduction.

First, WTF does Donte being a millionaire have anything to do with the argument? Secondly, how in the heck do you determine Donte is one of the better leaders on this team? At this point, Donte is nothing more than a loud mouth attention seeking leader wannabe. He defended Jauron to the point he told Bills fans there are 31 other teams to root for. Yet, the same Donte seemed to change his tune once Fewell took over. Donte needs to STFU. If he's a leader in the locker room, these public out bursts do nothing to enhance that position, and only make him look like an idiot.

That Shannon O'Keefe has potential, but I would need to see more evidence.

Never underestimate the influence of "basic" or "simple" in music. The world's most recognizable musical piece is not considered hard to play. In fact, it starts off with 3 simple notes. The musical number? Beethoven's 5th Symphony, first movement. As for who Angus Young influenced (FWIW): "His work with AC/DC has been an influence on bands ranging from Guns N' Roses, Slayer, The Cult, Jackyl, Metallica, and Def Leppard to newer artists like Disturbed, Jet, Alter Bridge, Buckcherry, Airbourne, The Darkness, Rob Tognoni, Wolfmother, and You Am I."

Remind me how many he had again? I remember one top 5, back in 2008. Was there a second during his tenure? Regardless, he wasn't a good HC.

Can we assume you swapped it with a known working cable? Did you google your make and model to see if others are having the same problem? (like possible hardware failure) Some out of the box suggestions: Assuming you are behind a router, do you have admin access to it? If so, check to make sure somebody else hasn't accessed it, and blocked your box. Try rebooting your router. (long shot, but suggesting it based on personal experience with a similar problem).

Giggity ...

Ok, fine. But why Buffalo? What's the connection? Buffalo hired a recycled coach? Marty and Norv were both recycled head coaches when the Chargers hired them. Is he trying to portray the Chargers as "harmonious" unlike those "dysfunctional" Bills? But why use the Bills when the Raiders are in the same division as the Chargers? You think Chargers fans are completely in tune with what's happening in WNY as compared to what's happening in Oakland?

The Chargers may not be a punchline at this point in time, but even in 2002, the perception was different. Nobody was talking about how great and stable the Chargers were when the team was throwing big money at second rate talent like Tim Dwight, Wiley, and Alexander (IIRC). Trying not to be disrespectful, the best thing to happen to the Chargers this decade was the death of Butler.

Just admit it. You are addicted. You can't hep it.

Loved the comments by the judges. Even some of the comments left by the people who watched the video are kind of funny;

You just did.

Seriously? Hey Nick, the Chargers fired Marty (who was a 3 time recycled HC when the Chargers hired him), and hired fricking Norv Turner, a 2 time recycled HC (with a LOSING career HC record at the time). And he's smacking on the Bills because they hired Gailey, a 1 time recycled HC? Is Nick jealous? WTF. So the owner, the GM, and the HC all get along "wonderfully". Great. Let them go sing "Kumbaya" together. Maybe Nickie-poo can join in. But Nick, do everybody else a favor, and just STFU about the Bills. Pooj, Thanks for writing the idiot in attempt to get him to clarify his stupidity.

I read the whole article 3 times. I am still not sure what Nick was getting at with that comment. If the comment was a diss against Gailey, he needs to recheck the Chargers coaching staff. For the sake of Charger fans, I hope Nick doesn't think Norv Turner is some great catch.

Even with AS, the DL is still mediocre. Nobody on that line scares opposing teams.

I made this call awhile ago. Al Davis and Mike Leach are a perfect "fit", and deserve each other. I would look forward to seeing the "show" those two put on. Plus it would be funny as hell to see the Raiders adopt a new fight song.

Wasn't this already done before? I usually end up hating remakes, especially when the original was much bolder and so very capital.

Ignorance. That's the only logical reason I can think of that would compel somebody to post those 2 sentences. What about the message board owner?

Wasn't Petey shacking up with a coed while at USC? Why is this revelation a shock or scandal when we already know Lane was treating some of the UTenn coeds like hookers? He was just sampling the "product".

And Leach got into a power struggle with the "entitled little prick" and lost. If Leach was half the "person" his defenders keep trying to make him out to be, TT does NOT cut him loose. And in case you haven't heard, Texas Tech recently hired Tommy Tuberville to be their new head coach. If Tubby comes close to matching Leach's success, in a couple of years, Red Raider fans will care less about Leach.

Can you twist statements and side step the issue any better? SF Bills fan did NOT call Leach a "tryant". He said Leach uses "humiliation" techinques ... ... which you prove Leach does by the above link. Good job proving SF Bills fan right. Nice job. The Dallas News story is about Leach's inability to adjust his techniques to conform to newer attitudes regarding discipline and motivation. Actually, it is pretty safe to assume he will use the same motivational techniques at the NFL level. He's egotistical and arrogant, and his "ways" have been successful. He continued using the same techniques even though attitudes shifted regarding those techniques. Instead of realizing he may have stepped over the line, he lashed out.

First, IIRC, Sal reported there was a succession plan already in place, not that the ownership of the Bills was solid. Second, Ralph has stated the team will be sold when he dies. That's not a rumor, Ralph has stated that in public and during interviews.
