It’s not cheap to raise a child
Having been raised in a family of five, I for one understand the cost of food, shelter, clothing and the other things we call necessities needed for raising children. In the most recent United States Department of Agriculture report, titled “Expenditures on Children by Families,” it removed all doubt about the fact that kids are not cheap. In fact, they are downright expensive, but most parents will tell you they are worth every expenditure.
Case Digests - Tennessee court of appeals syllabus
Raymond Clay Murray, Jr. vs. Jes Beard
Hamilton County - This is the second appeal in a legal malpractice case filed by Raymond Clay Murray, Jr. (“the Client”) against Jes Beard (“the Attorney”). In the first appeal, we affirmed the Trial Court’s sanction against the Attorney for discovery abuse which prohibited the Attorney from introducing any expert testimony at trial. However, a majority of this Court reversed the Trial Court’s issuance of a default judgment as a further sanction against the Attorney. We also affirmed the Trial Court’s determination that the amount of the Client’s damages totaled $16,697.38. We remanded the case on the sole issue of liability. On remand, both parties filed motions for summary judgment. The Trial Court granted the Client’s motion for summary judgment and found the Attorney 100% at fault for the Client’s damages. The Trial Court then denied the Attorney’s motion for summary judgment, found that motion was filed in violation of Tenn. R. Civ. P. 11, and awarded an additional $1,374.94 in damages. The Attorney appeals raising several issues. We affirm the Trial Court’s judgment in all respects.

The Foursom
I arrived at Stonebridge Meadows Golf Course in Fayetteville a little after 9 a.m., for a round of golf with my friend Fred.
It had been nearly a decade since I had stepped onto the grounds of what had been my home course during the last five years of the 20th century. Fred and I had played a lot of golf there together and I had been eagerly anticipating a return.
I Swear...
There stood Watson, “and the dream almost came true”
If someone had told me that at the 2009 Open Championship (known stateside as the British Open), the guy playing the 72nd hole with a one-stroke lead had the initials T.W., I’d have believed it.
But, like any rational human with the slightest ken of golf, I’d have envisioned Tiger Woods cruising to victory.
Weekly Indulgence
I’ve been hearing about Zarzour’s Café for months now. I’m not sure how things happen that way, but it seems they always do. First, a local talk radio personality mentioned that it was one of his favorite places to dine. Then I heard someone mention that they were listed in 2008’s “Roadfood: The Coast-to-Coast Guide to 700 of the Best Barbecue Joints, Lobster Shacks, Ice Cream Parlors, Highway Diners and Much, Much More” by Jane and Michael Stern. (It’s a long name for a book, but it sounds like these people did extensive research.)

Real Estate Facts
The goose and the gander
When facing a mortgage default, most homeowners try to sell their home — fast. The technique that works in these stressful situations also works for the rest of sellers — namely, aggressive pricing.
As a seller, you control the three factors that determine how quickly your home will sell: marketing, condition, and price. Let's focus on that last element.
Kay's Cooking Corner
You gotta love summer with all the fresh, homegrown vegetables at the Farmers’ Market. It is a treat to just go and wander through all of the rows of the red, green, orange and yellow fruits and vegetables! There are so many shapes and colors. It truly makes you appreciate all the work and energy farmers have put into growing each and every thing.
The Critic's Corner
If every geek who ever harbored a secret love for the most popular kid in school went to see “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” they’d make it the most successful film in history. Enough people would see “Beth Cooper” to sink “Titanic” hundreds of times over.
