Twenty-five years ago, country music fans couldn't help singing along with a tempting melody called "Heaven's Just a Sin Away." Sung by a fairly unknown father-daughter duo named the Kendalls, the breezy song captured the 1978 CMA award for single of the year — beating out "Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys," "Here You Come Again," "Take This Job and Shove It" and "Blue Bayou."
The song spent four weeks at No. 1 and earned a Grammy. The album of the same name was certified gold. Jeannie Kendall, the lead vocalist, was just 22 years old when "Heaven" hit the airwaves.
"I don't guess we expected 'Heaven's Just a Sin Away' to be such a big hit," Kendall tells CMT.com. "We surprised people, because most record executives didn't think a duet could do it, then they didn't think a father and daughter could do it. I'm used to being up against a whole lot."
Jeannie's father, Royce Kendall, died in 1998, leaving behind a partially recorded acoustic album. The project was shelved until Jeannie decided to finish the record as a solo artist — but not without those signature harmonies. Guests on Jeannie Kendall include Alan Jackson , Alison Krauss , Allison Moorer , Mountain Heart's Steve Gulley and Rhonda Vincent . Several members of Krauss' Union Station provide instrumentation. Two of her father's harmony vocals were rescued as well.
After recording his part on "Timeless and True Love," Jackson complimented Kendall by telling her, "I've been singing with you for years, you just didn't know it." Vincent made the same remark.
"I've grown up singing with my dad for so many years, and I feel like harmony is one of the key important things to all songs," says Kendall, now 48 and boasting that same pristine voice. "I hate to see the people singing harmony way back there. I've always liked the face-to-face, you know? That's why I like acoustic and bluegrass, because you get yourself in a little group, a little huddle, and sing."
With its enticing melodies and plainspoken yet poetic lyrics, Jeannie Kendall may tempt contemporary listeners to harmonize as well. With an approach that's similar to Dolly Parton 's recent fare, Kendall says of her album, "Maybe a little bit more serious music was the whole idea. Not that this doesn't have its happy sides here and there. Bluegrass and acoustic music tends to be a little more forlorn, I would think."
If that is true, then Kendall's aching soprano is a perfect fit for the tradition-tinged country songs that populate the album. Although they may quickly reduce the listener to tears, Kendall herself remains upbeat and positive, cheerfully telling stories about getting her start in Nashville.
"When I was in high school [in St. Louis], I went to beauty college because my mom was a beautician and, of course, my dad was a barber. But I let my license go many, many moons ago," she says, laughing. "As a teenager when we were coming to Nashville to record, I worked at a store selling wigs. So we came down to record, and we had to spend a couple more days down here than we intended to. I called them up and they didn't like it, and I told them they could just keep their job," she laughs. "Bye-bye! And that's the last I did of that!"
The Kendalls maintained a chart presence — often with cheating songs — until 1984 when "Thank God for the Radio" hit No. 1. (Jackson covered the song on his 1994 album Who I Am.) After that, they continued touring, worked out of a theater in Gulf Shores, Ala., and finally settled in northern Arkansas where Jeannie and her husband Mack still live.
Despite the ups-and-downs of the last 25 years, one thing remains unchanged: Kendall's fondness for fanciful hats. She wore a tiny denim cap during the interview and a black cowboy hat on the album cover.
"I've probably let up a little bit on it, but I will say that when I see one I like, it's hard to keep away," she says, laughing. "I've still got boxes and boxes of them. I'll dig them out every once in a while and I'll put them on and I'll go, 'I bought this?' (laughter) You don't realize how much headwear fashion changes through the years. But I love hats. I still will buy them occasionally and I do have quite a collection. You won't see me walking out the door without one."
Another constant is the endless number of fans who remember "Heaven's Just a Sin Away" as the music of their youth.
"This happens thousands and thousands of times to me," Kendall says. "Someone will come up to me and say, 'I was a teenager when that was out, and I love that song and I'm still singing it all the time.' It makes me feel good, it really does."

Utilizing the Intermac 600 launch barge and Derrick Barge 50, offshore construction firm McDermott will install the Ayatsil-A drilling platform for PEMEX Exploracion y Produccion (PEMEX) in the Bay of Campeche. McDermott notes they won the contract today to install the offshore jacket, deck and piles for the Ayatsil field.
In a water depth of around 400 feet, the Intermac 600 will launch the 8,400-ton steel structure and the heavy-lift Derrick Barge 50 (DB50) will complete the installation. The DB50 will also be utilized to install the 3,400-ton deck and other platform components. The total weight of the facility is approximately 15,800 tons according to McDermott.
The Ayatsil field is the largest discovery for PEMEX to date and is expected to boost production for the country by 150,000 barrels of oil per day.

One of the fun things about the personal finance community is we all have different life experiences and unique ways of dealing with money. This means people can look at seemingly identical problems in very different ways.
Look at me. I didn't go to college, choosing to work instead. Even though I started–and potentially stayed–at a lower salary than many of my peers, I got ahead because I used my income to buy income producing assets.
I borrowed heavily to buy those assets, a move that worked out pretty well for me in the long run. This led me to have the attitude that for many young people, going off to university isn't some magic formula that'll lead to riches. I secured a decent future by taking a different path.
And yet, somebody can have a life experience very similar to mine and draw very different conclusions. Maybe they weren't able to get promoted or get a non-terrible job without going to school. Maybe they borrowed to buy an overvalued Las Vegas house in 2005. Even though they did the same thing I did, life may not have worked out so well for them.
In other words, people can have success in life even if they do things many of us would think are wrong.
But at the same time, I don't doubt some of these decisions are making us poorer. Just because my life turned out okay after getting a grocery store job when I was 18 doesn't mean that decision was necessarily smart. Maybe I did well despite doing that, not because of it.
This logic is a big reason why I think college grads do better financially, by the way. College doesn't make them earn more. Ambition and intelligence make them earn more. People who are intelligent and ambitious end up going to college.
This has all been a long segue for a list of the worst financial decisions you can make. Again, making these decisions won't necessarily put you in the poorhouse, but that doesn't make them smart.
Understand? Good. Now let's make fun of some dumb financial decisions.
Quitting your job (especially to travel)
But Nelson. Didn't you quit your job and move to South Korea for a year?
Well, yeah. But I was smart about it, securing a job that let me earn far more than what I spent. I also did other cost-saving moves like eating a metric ass-load of ramen and squatting somewhat illegally in Vanessa's apartment. It was a little cramped, in hindsight, but hey. That's all part of the experience or something.
Compare that to the average person who has $20,000 saved up and dreams to travel the world. They spend every dime they have on this adventure, ignoring massive factors like opportunity costs and compound interest.
Say instead of taking that trip, the $20k was invested for 40 years at 8%. Instead of costing $20,000, this vacation now comes at a cost of $434,490. Even after inflation, that's a lot more than $20,000.
There's also the opportunity cost of missing work. That vacation doesn't just cost $20,000. It costs $20,000 PLUS what someone would have earned.
There's merit to quitting your job to try a new, potentially more lucrative career. There's even merit in quitting a job for a mental health break. There's very little merit in quitting a job to travel.
Financing said trip
Borrowing to buy assets is a good idea. Borrowing to increase your earnings potential (i.e. student loans) is usually a good idea. Borrowing to buy stuff is a terrible idea.
As a private lender, I see this a lot. Many of the mortgages I do exist because people are trying to consolidate credit card bills into something much more manageable. Wrapping $20,000 of credit card debt into an 8% mortgage makes more sense than continuing to pay 18.9%.
But even at 8%, it's still silly to buy stuff. Say you financed a vacation (I harp on this because it happens far more than you'd think) for $5,000 paying off $200 per month. It's still going to cost you $488 in interest at that pretty reasonable rate.
At 18%? Glad you asked. The cumulative interest paid on that loan would be $1,313.97.
Compound interest is incredibly powerful. When you finance stupid stuff, somebody is getting rich off your hard work. Don't let them do that. I don't care how unforgettable this "experience" might be.
Financial Uproar recommends!
The Tangerine Credit Card lets you earn up to 4% cash back for the first three months in three different categories, and 2% after that. No wonder we think it's Canada's best no-fee credit card.
Buying a house (without doing your homework first)
Many folks are choosing to rent today, citing advantages of it costing less than buying, and it's much easier to move if you're renting.
Mortgage payout penalties are huge. I've heard of people paying $10,000 to get out of their mortgages early. That's insane. I don't care if you did make money on the place, having $10,000 is better than not having $10,000. This formula proves it.
Giving up $10,000 = A moronic move
I've met so many people who do this. "Oh, we'll buy and hold for a few years, and then move onto something big." NO! THAT'S DUMB!
Even if you're smart about it and time the sale to minimize mortgage penalties, it still costs like 5% of the value of your house to sell it. Sure, real estate is stupid for charging that much, but you're still probably going to have to pay.
There's definitely cases to be made for buying real estate, like I said the other day. It tends to be a good long-term move. It is not a short-term asset. Yet so many people treat it as such.
Speaking of real estate
If you really think your best investment is your house, you're doing life wrong.
That doesn't mean someone can't get rich buying real estate. There's a lot to like buying rental properties, assuming you actually live in a place with decent cap rates. The ability to borrow to buy these properties is a huge plus as well.
That's vastly different than buying a house and living in it, no matter what the market does. You have to pay to own that thing while not collecting a nickel of income. Buying a house to live in is consuming. It can be a valuable form of consuming, but that's still what it is at the end of the day.
And trust me. Buying a house in most Canadian markets isn't going to be as sweet in the next decade as it was for the last decade.
Okay, let's wrap it up
Avoiding a lot of these pitfalls comes down to one thing–controlling our emotions. I'm convinced the people who do the most with the least when it comes to finance are those who treat their finances like a business. They buy the things they need and don't bother with many wants.
Ultimately, that's what it comes down to. Master your emotions and make the logical decision. Once you've got that under control, I'd say 95% of the work is done. Implementing is the easy part.

House Painting Tips & Considerations
If You Are Considering Painting Your House, Here Are Some Tips
When it is seen on television, house painting appears deceptively simple, especially in home makeover shows. But in reality, it is a complex job that involves patience, creativity, proper techniques and lots of practice to perfect the craft. Not everyone can just pick up a brush and paint their houses. The results would probably be disastrous. That is why professional painters must be hired for painting jobs in and around the house.
Even if the actual painting will be left in the hands of experts, the colors to be used for the house will be dependent on the owner's choice. Paint companies offer paint chip samples so that customers can choose from their wide variety of colors. They can also opt to hire design consultants to help them in choosing the perfect color combinations. Bear in mind though, that paint chips are just representations and the actual shades of the paint colors can still vary depending on the paints' finish, the owner's walls and the type of light that will be used near the painted wall.
To ensure that the chosen color is the one you've envisioned, it is best to get a small can of the shade and then apply it on a section of the wall to be painted. If it is the perfect shade, then a larger size can be purchased next time. If not, then at least, there is only a minimal waste of product.
Manufacturers of paints also offer paint mixing services to mix customized colors for unique shades. Or, if the painter is exceptionally skilled (and we are), then the colors can be mixed by hand to obtain distinctive hues. After a decision is made regarding shade selection and color palettes, then the painters can now proceed to house painting.
But, before any painting can ensue, the areas to be painted should be prepped properly. This means that walls should be scrubbed clean of their dirt, dust, grease and grime. Door knobs should be covered in plastic sheeting. Heavy canvas drop cloths must be used over floors and painter's tape must be applied over baseboards and other surfaces to protect it from unwanted paint.
And then, the paintbrushes and paints can finally come out because it is painting time! Painters usually go over the sections of the walls with one coat of paint. After leaving it to dry, they will come back and apply a second or third coat of paint to fully cover the areas with the desired colors.
House painting is a project that must not be taken lightly. It entails time, money and utmost commitment. It must be planned properly so that it can be executed well. Luckily, there are a lot of options available for those who want to improve their homes through color.

Rev It Up (Black Knights, Inc #3) Review
Rev It Up by Julie Ann Walker
Book description...
Soldier. Hero. Ladies' Man. He's the one who broke her heart...
Career soldier Jake "The Snake" Sommers has made a few mistakes in his life, but none so terrible as forsaking the only woman he's ever loved. But he's finally conquered his inner demon, the one that thirsted only for blood. So, now he's back. And he's not leaving without Michelle. Unfortunately, her enemy has other plans. Plans to see her dead.
Mother. Warrior. Lover. She's the one he left behind...
Michelle Carter has never forgiven Jake for abandoning her all those years ago. Now he's suddenly back, after she's finally begun to make a life for herself. But her safe, orderly world is about be blown apart. With a psychotic Las Vegas mobster gunning for her, she has no choice but to turn to Jake. Only there's more at stake than her life. As they all head for a showdown, something that was never meant to be revealed is suddenly thrown into the light. And with a secret this hot, there's bound to be an explosion.
This is one of those books that I wish I would have known was a series before reading it because the concept itself is amazing and has a few of my favorite things all in one book all at the same time.... Military Men - Check, Motorcycle Club - Check, Tattooed Bad Boys - Double Check... all it really seemed to be missing was... well, Me!
Now I've not ever been in this situation but I know someone who was and I have to say that it essentially ruined a very good friendship.... being in love with one of your best friends wives whether you have your reasons or not is more than an awkward situation at best. Jake has been in love with Michelle for years, but he pushed her into one of his best friends arms because he thought it was the best thing to do. Only now, she's in love and married to said best friend. I really struggled with Jake and his feelings for a good portion of the book... because I just didn't understand... but then I did and I couldn't help but sigh one of those dreamy sighs and think "Wow Jake, you just totally moved right up on the hot - o - meter" I really liked Jake, he has some demons but he's got a handle on them and has finally gotten to the point where he knows what he needs to do... he's gotten to the point of realizing that he deserves happiness too.
Then there is Michelle or Shell as Jake calls her... One minute I loved her and the next I wanted to push her face in the mud. She's really kind of rude to Jake and while I understand why, I have to say that for the amount of time that had gone by and the way Jake describes her as being so sweet and forgiving... the fact that she was holding such a big grudge just didn't make a lot of sense... and here is another one of those where once I found something out.... everything fell into place and to say I was a little blindsided is a bit of an understatement. In all reality it made me want to dislike Michelle even more but I couldn't bring myself to because I kind of understood where she was coming from.
Once Jake decides that Michelle will be his because his love for her has not gone away and if anything only grown stronger... he pretty much stops at nothing... which brings us to one my favorite parts of a book - The smokin' Hot Alpha male chasing after his dream girl... You'd think these heroines would learn from each other and just quit running so much, but I guess if they did, we wouldn't get the chance to see these men work their magic... and magic it is. There is something about a chase that brings out that sexy bad boy smooth talker we all seem to love but mix it up with a little sensitivity because that bad boy wants his girl forever! When Jake and Michelle finally do come together (even if she is claiming it's only going to be for one night)... It's explosive. The chemistry between these two is through the roof hot! But then it all comes crashing down.
There are some massive secrets in this book... some secrets that seem to come straight out of left field and right smack into your face. But the love in this book is beautiful.... but is love enough when it comes to secrets that can tear apart the strongest relationships?
Rev It Up by Julie Ann Walker is an amazing book that kept me on my toes and left me craving more of this addictive series. I look forward to reading more of Julie's work, she's got a smooth style with creative twists and turns.
Happy Reading!

If there's one piece of technology that has really exploded in popularity in recent years, it has to be fitness trackers. As recent as 3 years ago wearing devices around your wrist, clipped to your clothing was a niche market. At the same time, using phone app to track your runs or rides were common for enthusiasts and competitors, but the average person didn't care all that much. Since then however, it's difficult to be in a public place, a shopping centre, office, or busy pedestrian street without spotting many a lot of these devices on people's wrists.
Activity trackers likes Fitbits were among the most popular holiday gifts for the last couple of years. Whether it's dedicated devices or specific apps, it's become incredibly common, extremely easy and debatably useful for people track their steps, weight, distance travelled, energy burned and overall physical activity in pursuit of better health and well being. There are so many options with a wide range of features, form factors and price points, but if you're just starting out and testing the waters, Google Fit may be what you're looking for.
Google Fit is an activity tracker created and managed by Google, in the same vain as Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Calendar. Like all other Google Apps, Google Fit is at its core, web-based which means all information is stored and sorted on Google's services and therefore accessible across all internet connected devices. Google Fit's ability to automatically track steps, distance and all other typical use-case information, requires your phone to run Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) if the phone itself is going to be the primary tracker. The Android OS version shouldn't be a worry as over 90% of all Android devices run at least 4.0 - if you have an Android device younger than 5 years, you should be good.
What Google Fit does
Google Fit is an app which tracks all of the basic markers of physical activity - steps, distance, active time and energy burned. It also allows you enter goals for each on a daily or weekly basis, and enter your weight measurements. The ring is usually the first graphic you see which fills as you build your activity each day with different colours differentiating between different information. The app is able to intelligently distinguish between walking and running, so if you forget to identifying a run, it will still log your steps, energy and the rest as your pace picks up. It's needy, but fun, to go back and find out that it identified those times you quickly scurried across the road or ran around the yard with the dog for a few minutes. Of course, for deliberate workouts, you can select your activity from a massive list (A-Z, Aerobics to Zumba) and the app will smartly configure energy burning, steps and active time for you. You can also enter an activity afterwards - in case you forgot or didn't have your phone, or any tracking device on you at the time of your workout.
Google Fit then sorts all of this information and presents it to you in real time and with next to no effort. Simple rings and bars show progress, icons are clear and the overall interface make scrolling through past activities, entering new data, changing settings or viewing progress trends easy and fast. The app is designed incredibly cleanly and refrains from bombarding you with menus, options and other elements that could create a cluttered and distracting user experience. Everything you could want to see is incredibly easy to find.
Google Fit is free and available everywhere
The best things about Google Fit are it's price and availability. As alluded to before, like most Google services it is entirely free and accessible anywhere. Download the app to your Android phone, spend 5 seconds activating it and you're good to go. There's no need to turn it on or off when you want to use it, once you're setup it just just keeps working. I am pretty deliberate with tracking my activity, it's fun for me, so I'm always looking at the app on my phone, or on my laptop (fit.google.com) to see how things are going. My wife doesn't care so much, but does like to see from time to time. She remembers her phone does this maybe once a week and very simply she can get a solid idea of how active she's been over the last few days, weeks or months. Of course, this depends on your phone being on you, unless you have a tracker or smart watch.
The availability is where I find the most piece of mind. Apple Health requires an Apple device, there is now Web version, so if you one day move to Android or Windows phone and your history is locked within Apple's walls. As said before, Google Fit being available via a browser adds a greater layer of openness for the long term. It's so handy to be able to look at my activity on my phone, tablet and laptop, and it pulls from most other notable fitness trackers to combine everything in one place is incredible. The value increases exponentially as I'll still be able to do so when I upgrade all of those devices. IT should be noted however that synschornisation isn't perfect - at least not in real-time. Below is a photo of the web-site screen, my tablet and phone and as you can see the information is close, but not exactly the same. Past results all seem to be consolidated, for example the logs are all identical as of 2 days ago and earlier, but real-time and the day before seem to be be slightly conflicting.
While the slight glitch in across-device consistency isn't perfect, this flexibility is the greater plus. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is forever, so if you're in the camp that finds value in activity tracking, being locked into whatever device you're using in a given moment, and the possibility of losing everything if and when you change to something else is a big deal. You may use a step counter now, then take up running next year and therefore want a different device made by a specific running brand like Polar, change phone makers 2 years later, and who knows what else in the decades to follow. It pains me that the biggest line, Fitbit is refusing to partner with Google (or Apple) on this. Fitbits are great, but on a personal level I don't like services that are built to lock me in.
There's no iOS app yet
The unfortunate and frankly, un-Google aspect is that there currently is not iOS app. The Google Fit app is exclusive to Android, just like Apple's version, HealthKit is exclusive to iOS. This means that iPhone users can use Google Fit to keep their records, but the phone's sensors can't feed into Google Fit directly. That being said, Google has allowed access to developers for anyone who chooses to use their APIs, which means that most of the well known fitness apps, Nike, Strava, Adidas, Withings, Runtastic, RunKeeper, and MapMyFitness can all synch to Google Fit. So, if you use Strava to track your bike rides, Nike+ to track your runs, plus want a place to log your weight each week, Google Fit can be your one-stop-shop. It is bothersome that Google Fit is not available on iOS. Google Apps are usually written for Apple devices (Gmail, Drive, Google Maps, Google Play Music and Google Photos are all on iOS), as Google's model is built on allowing everyone to use their services, so Google Fit may be coming. Long story short, if you have an Android device, you're all set, if not, you'll need a fitness tracker otherwise you'll be entering things manually.
Google Fit is a free application for logging and tracking your physical activity and workouts. There's no iOS app yet, but you can still access the app via the website which is a very big advantage. This, plus the fact that it can link to almost all other fitness tracking devices (i.e., Withings, Runtastic, Strava, Nike+, RunKeeper, etc) means that your activity will stay with you regardless of what watch, phone, wristband, tablet or laptop you find yourself using as the years go on. And, given that maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle isn't a temporary endeavour, the ability to keep tracking your workouts, if you find so beneficial, regardless of what watch, phone or wristband you're using is incredible.

The goal of this seed project is to establish the feasibility of electromechanically conditioning the energy obtained from energized conductors to power wireless electrical sensors in SmartGrid applications. Wireless sensor networks are becoming commonplace: for example, companies currently link miniature wireless radios together with sensors to measure and report data in refineries and manufacturing plants. This research is focused on novel devices that will efficiently obtain and store electrical energy scavenged from energized conductors such as common electrical cords and higher voltage power distribution and transmission lines and circuit components.

Tempest~Natsu no Arashi
|Original / Romaji Lyrics
|English Translation
Utsuro na kokoro no sora (kanji: yozora) ni
The sky of my empty heart
Dare ni mo ienai koi to shitemo
Even though it was love, I couldn't tell anyone
Chi no hate, sekai no hate e
Doshaburi no naka o hashitte
Running through the downpour
To the ends of the earth, to the end of the world
Ore no kokoro o tamesu you ni
Kaze ga tobira o shimeru nara kowashite yuku dake
So as to test my heart
If the wind shuts the door, it can only break my heart
Futari no ashiato kesu you ni
Moral mo okite mo kokoro wa shibareyashinai ze
Sou sa...
In order to erase our footprints
Our hearts bound by neither rules nor morals
Kono te o hanasazu ni iro
Without releasing hands
Mienai deguchi o mitsuketanda
And the unseen exit is found
Naraku no soko ni tsuitemo
Omae to naraba heiki da ze
Even if we end up at the bottom of Hell
If I'm with you, I'm not concerned
Unmei sae mo kaeru hodo
Ushinau koto wa kowakunai omae no hoka ni wa
In order to change even fate
I'm not afraid of losing anything except you
Kako no namida mo arau hodo
Dare ni mo futari no ashita wa sabakeyashinai ze
To wash away the tears of the past
No one else can decide our future

Only have half a Benjamin to spend on a new gaming keyboard? We're gonna help you out, in this guide we're highlighting some of the best gaming keyboards under 50 dollars.
Full Size: Logitech G213
First up we have the super sleek looking G213. I mean take a look at it, this thing does not look like a keyboard that can be gotten for less than 50 bucks, more like $100.
In the under $50 dollar range the keyboards equipped with mechanical key switches are slim to none, at least not legitimate Cherry's or the like. In this case it's equipped with Logitech's Mech-Dome keys, which are tuned to give you performance and feel similar to that of a true mechanical keyboard switch. These keys deliver a 4mm travel distance, 50g actuation force, and are the quiet version of Logitech's mechs.
The G213 also has all the RGB you'd expect from a keyboard in 2017. With 16.8 million colors, and five individual lighting zones, so the sky's the limit when it comes to customization.
Finally you have the spill proof feature, which is amazing. As we have first hand experience that spilling orange juice on your keyboard does NOT improve performance. According to Logitech it can withstand 60ml of liquid spillage, so it will certainly help prevent any significant damage when you do inevitably spill that cup on your desk.
Tenkeyless: Redragon K552 KUMARA
Redragon has been coming out with some great keyboards and mice under $50 lately, and this K552 is no exception. With Cherry Blue equivalents (Outemu Blues) you get that satisfying noise click when typing, and great tactile bump feedback when gaming.
As well, if you go the non-RGB route you're looking at under thirty bucks, which is insane value for money. That's the equivalent of 5 Starbucks trips, but this time you have a brand new mechanical keyboard.
Honestly, you probably won't find a better made keyboard for under 30 bucks, certainly not a mechanical one. It's well built usingmetal and ABS construction, so the chances of it lasting those daily gaming sessions is high.
Full Size, If You Don't Like The Logitech: Corsair Gaming K55 RGB
The K55 has become a staple in the cheap gaming keyboard market, as Corsair is consistently putting out awesome keyboards in every price bracket.
This keyboard comes equipped with three-zone RBG back-lighting and 10+ pre-configured lighting modes, 6 macro keys for you MMO lovers, and multimedia controls.
While the K55 doesn't come with Cherry MX switches, it does come with membranes that act almost like browns. Which is exactly the feel you want for games with a lot of keyboard action, as browns and reds are often hailed as the "gamers" choice when it comes to switches.
Waterproof like the Logitech, and with a detachable wrist rest, it's really all you could ask for in the under 50 dollar range.

Since When Did I Become a Cockroach In My Own Home Two weeks ago, my home was sold at the Trustee Sale to an investor. I found out when his realtor, Randy Duncan, showed up at my door with a 5-day notice to vacate - the standard eviction form used in Arizona. Before the 5-days expired, we agreed to a 2-week period for me to move out - me and my 4 kids. Since then, I have been in communication with the realtor, letting him know that things are moving along. He took down the For Sale sign that appeared less than 48 hours after the sale. He sent over a pool repair to fix my filter - I even allowed him to refill the pool on my nickel. We … [Read more...]

He truly turned up the stress on me. But what he didn't know is that while we had been talking, I was researching it on my telephone and identified out that to the typical cost to replace a roof my size (much less than 1200 sqft) is amongst $4100 and $6000 (A neighbor informed me yesterday he had his replaced last year, it was about the exact same size as mine, and paid $5500).
A lot of purchasers will overlook house improvements that could be essential in other rooms, but having up to date bathrooms and a modern day kitchen is quite essential when you are trying to get purchasers to agree to the asking price for your residence. In my really personal high-school yearbook, Home Improvement was forever immortalized as the preferred Tv show of graduating seniors, three years in a row.

May Heavy Equipment, one of the leading heavy equipment rental companies in the southeastern United States, has acquired Tar Heel Machinery, headquartered in Raleigh, N.C. The transaction closed Oct. 19 and financial terms were not disclosed. Tar Heel will change its name to May Heavy Equipment effective immediately, May said, and all employees will be retained.
May Heavy Equipment, based in Lexington, N.C., with branches in Raleigh, N.C.; Columbia, S.C.; and Charleston, S.C., was already doing significant business in Raleigh and eastern North Carolina, but without having a dealership and service center location and without local support personnel. The Tar Heel acquisition provides May Heavy with that presence, as well as exclusive representation of the Sany excavator line in the territory.
"The Tar Heel acquisition represents a key milestone in our ongoing efforts to become the premier heavy equipment rental and sales company in the Southeast," said May Heavy president Jacob May.
"The greater Raleigh area is already such an important and growing region for our business," added CEO Kerry Vickar. "The addition of the Sany excavator line and our dedicated and more efficient service capabilities in the area will meet customer demands and will allow us to grow market share aggressively."
Scott Woody, founder of Tar Heel Machinery, will stay on as May Heavy's general manager for North Carolina. "We are impressed with May Heavy's reputation in the industry, its access to capital and its steadfast commitment to having the newest and best rental fleet in its geography," he said. "I firmly believe this transaction combines great capabilities at both of the companies."
Earlier this year, May Heavy Equipment announced it will move its center of operations from North Carolina Highway 8 to a large, more visible property adjacent to I-85. The company is currently building a new 5,862-square-foot office and rental center and 15,100-square-foot service center on 49 acres near the Lexington Airport.
May Heavy is also expanding its Charleston, S.C., presence, having purchased a property adjacent to I-26. The highly visible location will provide coastal Carolina customers with rental, sales, parts, warranty and service for the lines that May Heavy represents.
May Heavy is an authorized new equipment and parts, service and warranty dealer for Bomag, Hyundai, Kawasaki, Sakai, Sany, Terex, IHI, NorAm, Magnum and Lay-More, and carries used equipment and products from Caterpillar, Komatsu, Volvo and others. Its inventory includes all types of earthmoving equipment and specialty units such as long reach excavators, hydraulic rock hammers, water trucks and many types of compaction equipment. It was founded by Bert and Jacob May in 1997.

Welcome to il Perlo. From the ancient steam mill we have today only the legends and an old stone-wheel in the garden. But the view is the same as once: the lake, with its blue-green arms, still continues to delight our eyes!
Also the linden is still the same, in its shadow Toscanini spent some afternoons speaking and drinking with Grandfather. We are glad to offer you a little bit of Perlo's peace, because you'll understand and enjoy it.
The Hotel is located on the top a hill facing the lake, about 3 km from the town centre. Il Perlo Panorama in Bellagio is the ideal place if you're looking for a familiar and quiet place to spend your holiday, with a small garden, balcony, and an unforgettable view of the lake. We also offer special services for bikers, making us the perfect Bike Hotel on Lake Como.
If you are going to choose the traditional Bed & Breakfast accomodation, you'll have at your disposal a room with bath or shower, terrace, telephone and you'll enjoy a rich buffet-breakfast in the veranda, under the arcades or on the lake terrace.
Because that's Perlo's peculiarity: whatever you'll may choose, a balcony on Lake Como is waiting for you…
Nestled on a forested hillside and cradled between a ring of high Alpine foothills, visitors have enjoyed Hotel Il Perlo Panorama and its view overlooking Lake Como for nearly a century. It was built in 1922 by the current owner's grandfather, and has been run by the family ever since. At the beginning it was a small farm with a few basic affordable rooms to rent for servants of the aristocracy visiting nearby Bellagio. Today it is the guests of Il Perlo who feel like the richest people in the world as they take in the special panoramic vista from the expansive patio or from the solitude of their rooms and are treated with the same welcoming family hospitality as those years ago.
The hotel is a sublime getaway from the hustle of everyday life. From the gurgling namesake stream, Torrente Perlo, to the garden of roses, olive trees, wisteria and kiwi vines, to the large zen-like outdoor patio and view unrivaled in Lake Como, it will enchant you from the very beginning. Whether you are looking for a romantic holiday, a quiet place for the family to explore together, or a base for hiking and cycling adventures, you will realize why Hotel Il Perlo Panorama continues to host returning guests from around the world again and again.

Last week, Harris Interactive and global public relations firm, Fleishman-Hillard, teamed up to host the 2010 Digital Influence Index Event. The Digital Influence Index is in it's second year and aims to understand online consumption practices around the world. We at Harris were tickled to get to conduct the research and our own George Terhanian was invited to speak to the data as part of the event panel (far right).
More on the findings of this landmark study tomorrow - in the meantime, here is a recent Harris Poll based on data from the study.
