I have always gone to an Independent Tax Preparer in Quincy. The one in Quincy is so sharp he informs The IRS agents of there errors. I would never go to H & R Block.

Well I guess I wasn't the only one who thought it was all questionable. Wonder what trial #3 will bring for him?

I've always went to H&R block in years past. This year I'm going to find a CPA to do it. H&R has always had issues getting my regular, itemized return straight. I usually get the person who has to ask a ton of questions to their supervisor in order to fill everything out. This year I'm a business owner and have a lot of deductions so I don't want them to screw that up. I've had someone at H&R do my taxes that was a retired CPA and just did it in retirement who knew their stuff but it's hit and miss on how much experience they have. I know H&R has a 2 week training program before they let their people loose. I don't think you can learn it all in 2 weeks.

And their charges are outrageous! I always end up with a $300+ bill to get my taxes done there. They charge too many fees to just check a box for a certain form. I'd rather pay for the time of a professional.

I can't say I have had the same experience. We have used the same person in H&R Block for the last 8 yrs and she goes over everything with a fine tooth comb...down to the smallest penny. She has always done a terrific job. And I can say as long as she works for H&R we will always go there.

(WGEM) -- Judge Robert Clayton declared a mistrial late Wednesday morning after a Marion County jury remained deadlocked in the trial of former Marion County sheriff's deputy Larry Uhlmeyer.

Uhlmeyer had been charged with assault in the September 2007 shooting of James Rudd of Knox City. Rudd was shot after he was found in the garage of Uhlmeyer's Taylor, Mo., residence.

According to our news gathering partners at the Quincy Herald-Whig, the jury began deliberation Tuesday afternoon and returned Wednesday morning.

After about six and a half hours of deliberation, jurors sent a note to Clayton at about 10:40 a.m. saying they were deadlocked 7-5 after two votes.

After receiving instruction from Clayton, the jury was sent back for more deliberations at about 10:55, and the mistrial was declared about 20 minutes later.

Rodney Hart is at the Marion County Courthouse now and will have more details at whig.com this afternoon.

My daughter came home once and told me she was working as a Barista. She knew from the immediate blank look I gave her that I was clueless to her new found occupation. She then explained to me that she took a job in a coffee house preparing drinks. She described herself as a “Coffee Artist”. Unfortunately, I never got to see her in action in the coffee house.

I did visit a coffee house recently. The woman behind the counter read down a list of super fancy coffee drinks at light speed and then asked me what I wanted. Before I could answer she gave me a frustrated look as she moved and fluttered behind the counter unable to stand still.

I wonder how many Baristas have to go into espresso rehab?
