It's all about the baseball
I knew the latest installment in the South Carolina-Clemson baseball rivalry would be heated, but I didn't have this in mind.
A flurry of events that occurred in three games over five days has made for one entertaining story.
Clemson coach Jack Leggett had a bat used by USC's Jackie Bradley Jr. inspected in Sunday's game after hearing from his players that they thought the metal had been warmed in hopes of gaining an advantage, although there's nothing in the rule book against it.
USC coach Ray Tanner took umbrage to Leggett's inquiry, using the media as an outlet for his frustrations after Tuesday's game. Tanner wanted Leggett to handle it "personally" if he believed USC was up to something.
It created what's seemed to be a short rift between the two coaches. The morning after Tanner's tirade, Leggett called the Gamecock coach to work it all out.
Luckily, according to Leggett, the two patched things up Wednesday.
"I think we both feel kind of bad that the efforts of both of our teams, great efforts by both teams (Tuesday), was overshadowed a little by some of the events surrounding the game," Leggett said. "I wanted to try and get past that."
That's what's best for all.
The controversy makes for a good story and gets people debating and taking interest in college baseball, but in the end, this is what really matters: USC won 6-3 on Friday; Clemson took Sunday's game 10-5; and the Gamecocks claimed the series with a 5-4 victory Tuesday.
"We've had some great, great games," Tanner said during his emotional post-game press conference. "That's what it should be about. We shouldn't have this conversation. I'm not happy about having it."
What the teams learn and how much they grow from this point on are what the series is designed to do.
"I really think Clemson is very, very good," he said. "I think they have tremendous speed, they've got some power. Both teams have some players. Hopefully we'll both go on to have really good years."
There's no question the level of baseball that was witnessed in the series was top notch, just like when they met in last year's College World Series.
I'd like to see a possible super regional matchup between these two because the baseball was that much fun to watch — not the antics.
However, that would mean one team isn't a top-eight seed in this summer's NCAA tournament, and both teams right now seem to possess the pitching, hitting and defense to be one of the teams to beat this year.
No matter if they meet again or not in 2011, hopefully we'll remember how good they were and not the "hot" bats and exchanged words. The rivalry will be better for it.
"Obviously we're not going to agree on everything, and that's just the game and the nature of the rivalry," Leggett said.

Can you make a change
In outlook 2010, the button labeled "Todoist" which opens the Todoist pane on the right side of the Outlook screen is located on the "Add-Ins" tab of the Ribbon Bar. The "Add to Project" button which opens choices of projects from which I can select is located on the Home tab of the Ribbon Bar.
I have to click the Add-In bar and click on the "Todoist" button to open the pane, then click on the Home tab and then click on the "Add to Project" button. I am unable to determine how to move the "Todoist" button from the Add-In tab to the Home tab.
Shouldn't the installation and set-up put these buttons on the same tab for ease of access?
All responses
Hello Michael,
We've moved the "Add to Todoist" button to the "Home" ribbon per request as the Home ribbon is used most often and it's more convenient to have this option at easily at hand.
Please note that you don't have to use the "Todoist" button on the Add-ins tab, if you leave the Todoist pane open, it should stay open permanently.
Best regards,
I close the Outlook "Todoist" pane after adding a task to a project because I want the screen space for the core function of my Outlook email client.
I do want to easily open and close it when I want to enter a task for a project. The buttons neceesary to open the Todoist pane, add a task and close the pane are located on two different Outlook tabs, making this process more cumbersome than it needs to be.
I can open and close the native Outlook task pane with a simple click of a "<" and a ">" button. Outlook makes it easy to add a task and move the task pane out of the way.
I enjoy the convenience of all of the other Todoist integration applications but the Outlook integration is too cumbersome.
Thank you very much for your feedback, we will consider adding the < and > button option to hide/show the Todoist plugin page similarly to Outlook's Tasks pane.
Best regards,

Please don't fight about this topic. I just thought it would be a cool and interesting thing to discuss. Personally I believe in God and it's kind of weird to think of reality as we know it as a simulation.

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. OverviewAppearance of Grendel in Shin Megami Tensei: Strange JourneyThe hideous and brutal Grendel regularly attacked the mead-hall/fortress called Heorot, the seat of King Hrothgar's power in Denmark. None of Hrothgar's own men could stand against Grendel's hideous strength. Hearing of the terrors befalling Hrothgar's kingdom, Beowulf left what is modern day Sweden and set out to slay the beast (mostly in order to get the riches and honors Hrothgar would most certainly shower upon any individual to achieve such a feat). Beowulf successfully ambushed Grendel by pretending to be drunk and asleep, and mortally wounded him by ripping off one of his arms.Robert Zemeckis' versionGrendel in Beowulf: The GameThe Grendel monster (brought to life by Crispin Glover) is portrayed as a very tall but horribly disfigured humanoidal character with an external eardrum. Beowulf Battles Grendel inside Heorot and finally defeats him by ripping his arm. The creature - that later turn's out to be king Hrothgar's son - shriks to the size of a man and flees to die on it's mother's arms. The computer adaptation Beowulf: The Game re-enacts the entire fight. Grende;s' dead body can be also seen in his Mother's lair.

Mandy Moore is an American singer-songwriter, actress and fashion designer. Moore became famous as a teenager in the late 1990s, after the release of her teen pop albums. Trivia: Most recently Moore provided the voice of Rapunzel in Tangled. In April 2011, she ranked 5th in People's annual Most Beautiful issue.
She is an Ambassador for PSI, (Population Services International) a global non-profit organization dedicated to improving the health of people in the developing world by focusing on serious health challenges like a lack of family planning, HIV/AIDS, malaria, contaminated water and threats to maternal and child health.
Here's a piece from her travels. After taking a trip to Cameroon, I saw first hand the horrors of AIDS in that country alone. As I played with the kids and marveled at their curiosity and excitement as they tightly grabbed my hand – a strange visitor touring their home – it was clear that many of these children had been seriously affected by HIV.
Country-wide in Cameroon there are 330,000 children who have lost at least one parent to HIV/AIDS, classifying them as AIDS orphans. Globally this statistic is more than sixteen and a half million children. That's more than twice as many people as in the entire state of Virginia. And 90% of these kids are in sub-Saharan Africa. Here's her recent public service video: http://www.multivu.com/mnr/55260-mandy-moore-best-kept-secret-global-health-organization-psi
Great job Mandy for being a World Ambassdor and making a difference.

Why not order from them?
ETA: p.s. From a different cuisine/tradition - but have you tried the stuff at Claus' German Sausage & Meats?
Last night after my post, that very thought dawned on my so I looked them up, and it is reasonably priced... then I looked up the store locator and saw that they are available at Ft. Ben Harrison. Next time my mom goes to the commisary I'll tag along. A pack or 2 at a time beats having to order by the dozen and having to freeze the majority.
I have not yet made it to Claus' and will even plead my ignorance of their existence until I saw some coarse Braunschwieger you had posted.
I love following your posts, not only for the amazing dishes you prepare, but as a source of so many good things around Indy.

The state attorney general and other New Mexico stakeholders have expressed worries about Teco Energy Inc. purchasing the utility, the Albuquerque Journal reported Saturday (http://bit.ly/1fZkoLS ).
Teco reached an agreement last May with Continental Energy Systems LLC, the parent company of New Mexico Gas, worth about $950 million, including the assumption of $200 million in debt. The company in September filed for Login to read more

N.Y. Court of Appeals Reverses Appellate Division and Says Columbia University Condemnation May Proceed
In a rebuke to the Appellate Division First Department, the New York Court of Appeals today held that the condemnation of land on the upper west side of Manhattan to benefit Columbia University may go forward. In Matter of Kaur v New York State Urban Dev. Corp., the Court of Appeals reversed the Appellate Division rejection of the proposed condemnation and, in reliance on its recent holding in Matter of Goldstein v. New York State Urban Development Corporation, held that the findings of (1) blight, (2) that the petitioner's property qualified as a "land use improvement project" and (3) the finding of a "civic purpose" to the project, were "rationally based and entitled to deference."
The proposal is for development of a new 17 acre campus for Columbia University. Over the last decade Columbia has acquire a majority of the parcels in the area, however, a number of property owners have held out and this challenge is to the proposal by the Empire State Development Corporation (ESDC) to utilize its authority under the Eminent Domain Procedure Law (EDPL) to acquire the balance of the parcels within the area covered by ESDC's General Project Plan (GPP) to implement the Columbia proposal. After reviewing the history of the case, the Court reviewed and struck down each of the holdings of the Appellate Division.
The Court noted that the main argument in opposition was that the condemnation is not for the purpose of putting the properties to a "public use" within the meaning of the New York Constitution and that the findings of blight were arrived at in bad faith. The Court noted that in "Matter of Goldstein, we reaffirmed the longstanding doctrine that the role of the Judiciary is limited in reviewing findings of blight in eminent domain proceedings...Thus, given our precedent, the de novo review of the record undertaken by the plurality of the Appellate Division was improper. On the "record upon which the ESDC determination was based and by which we are bound" (id. at 517, citing Matter of Levine v New York State Liq. Auth., 23 NY2d 863, 864 [1969]), it cannot be said that ESDC's finding of blight was irrational or baseless. Indeed, ESDC considered a wide range of factors including the physical, economic, engineering and environmental conditions at the Project site. Its decision was not based on any one of these factors, but on the Project site conditions as a whole. Accordingly, since there is record support — "extensively documented photographically and otherwise on a lot-by-lot basis" (id. at 526) — for ESDC's determination that the Project site was blighted, the Appellate Division plurality erred when it substituted its view for that of the legislatively designated agency."
The Court then went on to discount the claim of bad faith by ESDC, noting that the ESDC had undertaken multiple studies of the area and, in rejecting any findings by the Appellate Division to the contrary, found no support in the record for any finding of bad faith.
The next claim discussed was that the term used to define a blighted area "substandard or insanitary area" is void for vagueness. In likewise rejecting that claim the Court stated: "blight is an elastic concept that does not call for an inflexible, one-size-fits-all definition (see Berman v Parker, 348 US 26, 33-34 [1954]). Rather, blight or "substandard or insanitary areas," as we held in Matter of Goldstein and Yonkers Community Dev. Agency, must be viewed on a case-by-case basis. Accordingly, because the UDC Act provides adequate meaning to the term "substandard or insanitary area," we reject petitioners' argument that the statute is unconstitutionally vague on its face."
Then in dismissing the finding by the Appellate Division, which seemed (at least to some) the most likely to separate this case from others and form a basis for upholding that decision, the Court of Appeals reversed the lower court's finding that the area was not blighted before the majority of the properties were acquired by Columbia and that Columbia, in effect, caused the current blighting condition by vacating and neglecting the properties it had acquired.
"In determining that Columbia created the blighted conditions in West Harlem, the plurality of the Appellate Division disregarded the Urbitran blight study commenced in 2003. That study, made at EDC's request and not ESDC's, was based on a survey of the Project site and surrounding neighborhood at a time when Columbia was only beginning to purchase property in the area. Indeed, the Urbitran study unequivocally concluded that there was "ample evidence of deterioration of the building stock in the study area" and that "substandard and unsanitary conditions were detected in the area." Moreover, Earth Tech found that, since 1961, the neighborhood has suffered from a long-standing lack of investment interest. Thus, since there is record support that the Project site was blighted before Columbia began to acquire property in the area, the issue is beyond our further review."
In further rejecting the Appellate Division determination that this is a private project, the Court concluded that this project fell with the UDC Act definition of a a "civic project." It noted that this is an educational institution and that "education and the expansion of knowledge are pivotal government interests." Further, the Court noted other civic benefits from the project such as open space, transit infrastructure improvements and job growth.
Finally, the Court rejected the claim that there was a deprivation of due process because of a FOIL violation, which was later remedied in favor of the property owners. Noting first that there is no discovery permitted in this phase of a condemnation proceeding, the Court held that the release of substantial numbers of documents (8,000 pages) as well as the lengthy submission made by the objectors demonstrated that they had a fair opportunity to present their case.
"Here, petitioners have not met their burden, neither explaining how they were deprived of a meaningful opportunity to be heard during the administrative process nor demonstrating the materiality of the records sought through FOIL."
The Court therefore conclude:
"In sum, we give deference to the findings and determination of the ESDC that the Project qualifies as both a land use improvement project and as a civic project serving a public purpose under the UDC Act. We further conclude that petitioners were not deprived of procedural due process."

Located across the street from the historic Los Alamitos High School, you can't miss SouthCoast Supply. Family owned and operated for over 24 years, South Coast Supply/Garden Daze is pleased to offer the entire line of Traeger Pro Series Grills, all 8 flavors of Traeger Hardwood Pellets, and endless Traeger accessories. The owners, Bonnie & Dennis, can be found grilling in the shop's garden on weekends, giving BBQ enthusiasts the opportunity to sample different foods cooked using a variety of Traeger pellets, sauces & rubs.
One of the most eye-catching additions to their impressive collection is Traeger's iconic Longhorn Steer. Produced in a barn in Mt. Angel, Oregon in the early 2000's, Longhorn Steer grills are no longer in production, but they are an important part of Traeger History. During that time period, the Traeger Team experimented with striking designs that made a real statement about the playful nature of Barbecue. Joining the Longhorn Steer in the ranks: the Lil' Pig, the Train, the Red Razorback, and the Tractor, all with the same versatile functionality of traditional, barrel-shaped Traegers.
So if you want to check out South Coast Supply/Garden Daze to stock up on building and garden supplies, and visit a little piece of Traeger history at the same time, stop on by. Bonnie and Dennis will be happy to see you, and they may even be Traeger'ing up some grub.

The one thing that any Traeger owner could use more of is additional room on your Traeger to smoke more incredible meats. When duty calls, we listen. That's precisely why we have made the Smoke Shelf, just to keep your carnivore needs well-supplied, Traeger Nation.
The nickel-plated steel Smoke Shelf gives you two more levels or 360 square inches of additional surface area on your Traeger to smoke more of whatever your heart desires - from jerky to ribs to salmon or even just to keep your food warm on the Traeger.
It easily slides easily in and out of your Texas, Lil' Tex, Lil' Tex Elite or the Deluxe and is ready for smokin' action!
Those cold winds a blowin' mean one big thing when it comes to you and your Traeger: Heat Loss. Which means more pellets used and possibly longer cooking times. Ain't nobody got time for that!
The solution? Insulation Blankets. By using a snug insulation blanket in 35 degree weather, and below will help your Traeger maintains a consistent temperature while grilling, and you save money. (We know it all comes down to the money.) And we make them for several of our illustrous models.
So don't let the cold weather bleed you dry or hold you back from your Traeger'ing (especially during the holidays!).

It features a multi-position digital thermostat control, upgraded viper casters and wheels, and a durable powder coat finish along with an irresistibly attractive stainless steel door handle. With 40 inches of width, 20 inches of depth and 49 inches of height, you're sure to be able to fit 3 or 4 racks of baby backs on this serious smoker, or even more if you indulge yourself with the Extra Grill Rack. (you probably deserve it)
One of the complaints we hear most often from new Traeger owners is "I wish I had just bought the bigger grill!" In our best (and most affordable) attempt to remedy the situation, we developed the extra grill racks for the Lil' Tex/Elite and Texas model Traeger Grills. Our extra grill racks are made from the same high quality porcelain coated steel as the grilling grate and are perfectly sized to fit your grill. Just imagine being able to fit that extra pound or two of jerky or having the grill space to cook a few additional chickens to shred and freeze. With the extra grill grates, you can make your current Traeger work even better for you!

Dr. Samuel S. Norvell's Ratings
He is very knowledgeable and is very thorough in his check-ups, especially with mole/cancer checks throughout the body and hair. He was able to diagnose a skin issue I had, where another doctor completely misdiagnosed. He even showed me visually what it was a minute after he took the biopsy along with the proper next steps. He provides the correct treatment with proper dosing and was available over the phone and called back within the hour, to discuss some questions I had.
Highly recommend!

My husband & I have been going to Dr Norvell for years for many different procedures, pre-skin cancer,treatments, lymphomas , in office surgeries, moles removed ,biopsies, check-ups etc. We trust him completely ! Never a kinder more involved Doctor. I cannot praise him enough. He wanted me to go to a plastic surgeon to have a mole removed on my face. I said can't you do it? So I had him remove the mole. He did a fabulous job right inn his office. I was very pleased. You will be happy with your choice if you decide to make him your dermatologist !

My husband and I have been thrilled with the care that our sons (both have eczema) receive from Dr. Norvell. He actually visited my older son in the hospital when he was 8 months old to analyze a rash on his face, having only seen him once before. He's kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, and always makes you feel like you are doing the best thing for your child.

Dr. Norvell is the best, he's knowledgeable, kind and caring. When it comes to suspicious moles, he works on the cautious side and would rather remove it than send you away feeling unsure. Unfortunately his staff is arrogant and intimidating, but he's still the best around. I would definitely recommend him to family and friends.

I've been going to him for over 10 years after a recommendation from a friend. He's excellent. I trust him. He has actually steered me away from procedures I wanted because he believed that I would not get the results I expected due to my skin type. he has treated me for basal carcinoma and insisted that I come back for regular check ups as a result. This wasn't so that he could "make an extra buck" but because he is genuinely concerned form my health. I now bring my teenage daughter to him.

I love this doctor! A friend told me i "had" to try him so i did and was so glad. I used to go to him and had to stop because of insurance reasons, which made me very mad. I miss him and b/c he set my dermotologist expectations so high, ill never be completely satisfied again! He is VERY VERY smart. SOOO experienced,kind,gental & extremely caring. Asks if you have any questions, listens, answers & explains it all. Takes his time & give you his 110% attention. Definitely NOT in it for the money. Go to him for anything from little warts/pimples to life threatening things. Has good intuition. Had something slightly suspicious and he didnt say "just keep an eye on it" but "wouldn't hurt & always better safe than sorry" w/ no pressure tho. I chose to trust him THANKFULLY b/c turned out to be dangerous! No other Dr would have seen or suggested removal. My whole family sees him, friends,coworker, & even neighbor! I trust him 100%..Great man, HIGHLY recommended. (& very handsome i might add!)

NORTH TROY – Voters went to the polls for a third time to vote on a $1.07 million bond to make renovations to the school, and rejected it by a vote of 92-84. For over a year, school officials and board members have maintained the argument that renovations are necessary. However, voters didn't buy it and rejected the bond, sending board members back to the drawing board.
The actual construction now is about $890,000. The school board added $182,000 for contingency costs. However, board members hoped they wouldn't need the extra money.
DERBY – Derby Select Board member Karen Jenne has taken out petitions for Derby  Clerk, town treasurer, and school treasurer. She has also taken petitions out for the Derby select board for both two- and three-year terms. Jenne's seat on the board is up for grabs at Town Meeting in March.
However Jenne is keeping a tight lid on which petition she is circulating for signatures. She says she will make a public announcement soon. The deadline for filing is January 28 and 30 signatures from registered voters are required.
NEWPORT – Rick Burroughs and Heidi Davis of Black River Designs (BRD) gave an overview Wednesday evening of the facility needs for North Country Union High School's A and B wings to an advisory committee composed of school administrators, school board members, and members of the community. BRD worked with the high school board for the North Country Career Center renovation known as C Wing.
The overview is based on a master planning effort by BRD, which focused on facility needs, code compliance, and educational issues.
JAY–Despite playing with a bad back, Taylor Morley had a goal and an assist as North Country rallied to salvage a 2-2 tie with the Rice Green Knights on Wednesday evening.
"From the end of the second period on, it was our game, and I think with a little more puck-luck we would have won in overtime," said coach Claude Paul. "That is how I want to see us play, the way we did in the third period. It was good to see them come back and get a positive out of a negative start."
Boys UCA 55, MV 29
Girls MV 59, UCA 31
NEWPORT–Nineteen first quarter points combined with some tenacious defense fueled the UCA boys, as they defeated Masse Vanier in an international contest Monday afternoon at the Newport municipal building.
"It is a different kind of game on such a small court," said UCA coach Tony DeLaBruere. "This win was because of the stellar defense in the 1st half, holding them to 9 pts."
Marquel Taylor-Webster had his best game of the season, scoring 24 points and grabbing 20 rebounds while disrupting many shots in the paint.
NEWPORT CITY – Mark Shaw Jr., the man known on the Howard Stern Show as Bigfoot, appeared in Orleans County District Tuesday for a competency hearing.
Shaw recently underwent an inpatient psychiatric examination that found him incompetent. He is being held at the Fletcher Allen Healthcare Center on $50,000 bail. Shaw faces charges of attempted first degree arson, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
NEWPORT CITY – Based on medical records and a stipulation by State's Attorney Alan Franklin, Judge Howard VanBenthuysen said Tuesday that Roger Pion is currently incompetent to stand trial.
Pion, 34, is accused of demolishing seven vehicles parked behind the Orleans County Sheriff's Department. He appeared in Orleans County District Court Tuesday for a competency hearing. He is currently in the custody of the Commissioner of Mental Health and is being held at Fletcher Allen Healthcare Center in Burlington.
NEWPORT CITY – Two city landlords showered the city council Monday evening with complaints that owners of apartment buildings are not charged the same for water and sewer use as owners of single family homes.
Owners of single family homes pay a fixed cost while many owners of apartment buildings pay their water bills according to their water meters plus a per-living unit fee. Typically, each living unit has its own meter.
DERBY – An upscale inn proposed for the Village of Derby Line is getting wide-spread support, although there are some concerns due to its location.
At a Derby Zoning Board of Adjustment hearing Monday, about 20 people turned out to voice their thoughts on the proposal by Paula Fiorenza and Fritz Halbedl, who own the historic mansion located on Main Street.
During the meeting, a couple of individuals who live next to the home said they did not want a restaurant in a residential area and they were concerned about the potential for additional noise and headlights in their homes at night.

What do you think of my horse? I'm not planning on selling him, although I do wonder what he would be worth. He is 4yrs old, and here are his lines:
He is now a gelding, and stands around 15hh. He is very sweet and a great trail horse. He does however need a confident rider to make him work in the pen. I would not recommend him for a beginner because he can be lazy. I think he would be great for trail or rail classes. He is very smooth to ride even at a trot.
Conformational, he is weak in the hind quarters and toes out in the back. The farrier says his hooves are perfect though, and he has never had shoes. I got him as a late weanling and started him lightly at two. He lunges; stands tied quietly, bathes, and is UTD on everything. Here are some pics, would love to hear some feed back.

Des Moines Store Sells Ticket Winning Wednesday's $16.5 Million Jackpot
DES MOINES, Iowa - A lottery ticket sold at a Des Moines convenience store won Wednesday's $16.5 million Hot Lotto jackpot. It's the third-largest prize ever offered in the game and Iowa Lottery players now have won a total of seven Hot Lotto jackpots.
The jackpot-winning ticket was purchased at Quik Trip, 4801 NE 14th St. in Des Moines, and matched all six numbers selected in Wednesday's Hot Lotto drawing. The winning numbers were: 3-12-16-26-33 and Hot Ball 11.
Staffers at the Quik Trip said Thursday morning that they had not yet heard from anyone who may be the big winner. Quik Trip will receive a $5,000 bonus for selling the jackpot-winning ticket.
Iowa Lottery CEO Terry Rich said he's always happy to see another jackpot winner in the state.
"Iowans are having quite a run of luck with Hot Lotto, winning seven jackpots in just eight years," he said. "It's always fun for us at the lottery to meet the winners, learn their stories and share in their excitement. And, this win will definitely give a nice end to 2010 for someone - or a group of someones."
Rich encouraged the jackpot winner to get financial or legal advice before claiming the prize and to store the winning ticket in a secure place until presenting it to the lottery claim the jackpot.
"A lot of us right now are wrapping up our records for the past 12 months and making year-end decisions about our taxes and income," Rich said. "It's good timing for our newest winner or winners to get advice from a financial planner or legal advisor."
Rich also reminded everyone that the Iowa Lottery's offices will be closed Friday in observance of the New Year's holiday. The jackpot-winning ticket must be claimed at lottery headquarters, 2323 Grand Ave. in Des Moines.
If the winner or winners have questions before claiming the prize, they are welcome to contact the lottery at (515) 725-7900. Winning tickets in the Hot Lotto game expire one year after the date of the drawing.
Iowa's six previous Hot Lotto jackpot winners are:
The Hot Lotto game began in April 2002, offering Powerball-style play but with easier odds. Hot Lotto players choose five numbers from a pool of 39 and another number, called the Hot Ball, from a pool of 19. The Hot Lotto jackpot starts at $1 million and grows until someone wins it. Tickets in the game cost $1. Hot Lotto drawings are held at about 9:40 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays, just before the Powerball drawings. The Hot Lotto jackpot returns to a guaranteed $1 million for Saturday's drawing.
Hot Lotto tickets are sold in Iowa, 13 other states and the District of Columbia.

I lost my drivers license sometime last year in the washer and now.....
I cannot drive. I have my wife do all the driving, but she is a terrible driver when she is sober. She drives great when she is drunk and in fact she drives better than most people. The problem is I need her to give me a ride to work early in the morning and she refuses to drink at that time. I have tried to get her overserved late at night so she will stay drunk enough to drive in the morning, but she no longer will do that.

Breach of Quiet Enjoyment
Breach of quiet enjoyment
Breach of quiet enjoyment is one of the most abused provisions of most of residential leases. Landlords, particularly the unsophisticated ones, believe that they can enter your dwelling unit any time they feel like it because they are owners of the property. This type of owner thanks "It's my property and I can do whatever I want with it." They cannot.
There are many ways that a landlord can commit breach of quiet enjoyment. Landlords have the responsibility of furnishing utilities to the unit and when the utilities are interrupted the landlord is violating quiet enjoyment (among others.) If the landlord attempts to transfer responsibility of furnishing utilities to you without your consent and during the middle of the lease they are violating quiet enjoyment. One of the major ways that landlords commit breach of quiet enjoyment is through improper entry into your rental unit during the lease term. Landlords cannot disturb your privacy in your apartment. To do so is a breach of quiet enjoyment. They have to give you advance notice before entering your rental unit. We will give you the notice requirements by state shortly. They cannot let someone into your rental unit, a maintenance worker for example, without remaining in the rental unit to supervise the worker and protect your belongings. Another way that your privacy could be invaded is through the landlord gossiping about your finances, late payments, intent to break the lease and move or unfounded comments about you or your fellow residents or children.
Landlords can be prone to gossip and when they do, they are committing a breach of quiet enjoyment by violating your privacy. Another way that landlords violate tenant privacy is to show up at your place of work to discuss tenant issues with you or give information to your boss regarding late payments or other rental problems since that could influence your ability to hold a job.
Landlord ability to enter into your rental unit must be contained in your lease and must also comply with your state's requirements both as to 1) notice they must give you before entering the rental unit, and 2) reasons why they can enter the unit. Also, the lease must contain information giving the landlord the right to a working key to your rental unit in order for them to possess a key at all. Unless language is in the lease giving them a right to a key, the landlord cannot prevent you from changing the locks to make sure that no one enters your rental unit without your knowledge. If you change the locks, however, you would be responsible for providing entry to maintenance people when work needs to be done.
Most residential leases that I have seen do contain landlord right of entry into the rental unit but they are usually limited only to the following:
1) periodic inspections to make sure that the property is not being abused.
2) Periodic maintenance such as changing filters in the HVAC or responding to maintenance requests
3) Showing the property to prospective tenants during the last 30 days of the lease.(Either the original lease or the last 30 days of the tenant at will period.)
4) Showing the property to prospective purchasers during the lease term. If your landlord puts property on the market while you are a tenant, check your lease to see whether they can come into the property at will to market it. Many leases do not provide for this. If the lease does not, you do not have to allow them entry at all. If the lease does contain rights of entry for marketing purposes check to see who has those rights. Usually it is the property management company. But if the owner lists the property with a different real estate firm, the real estate firm cannot show the property at all unless you agree (because they don't have the rights to show it, the property management firm does). If the lease does give the real estate firm the right to show the property, they still have to comply with the notice period that is applicable in your state, usually 24 or 48 hours.
5) Emergency entry in the event of serious problems can be done with no notice and overrides the 24 or 48 hour notice. But the landlord has the obligation of showing that an emergency existed that required no notice.
The following states have a 24 hour notification period before the landlord can enter your unit: Alaska California Iowa Maine Montana Nebraska Nevada New Mexico Ohio Oklahoma Oregon South Carolina, Utah Virginia. Washington State (if showing to prospective tenants or buyers)
Following states have a 48 hour notification. Before the landlord can enter your unit: Alabama Arizona Delaware Hawaii Kentucky Vermont Washington
The following states simply require reasonable notice: Connecticut Indiana Kansas Minnesota New Hampshire New Jersey North Dakota
The following states have no statute specifying time before a landlord may enter: Arkansas Colorado district of Columbia Georgia Idaho Illinois Louisiana Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Mississippi Missouri New York North Carolina Pennsylvania South Dakota Tennessee Texas West Virginia Wyoming
The state of Florida is unique in only having a 12 hour notification.
If your landlord has been coming into your unit for reasons that are not contained in your state statutes or not authorized in your lease, has been coming in with no notice or inadequate notice, they are violating your right to quiet enjoyment of property. You'll find where to get access to your state landlord tenant statutes elsewhere in the book.
Landlords are able to do this because they have a key that fits the locks, one that they gave you. Unless it is prohibited in the lease, you have the right to re-key the locks (alternately, you can replace them). At the end of the lease period you can give the new keys to the landlord. Or you could remove your new locks and replace their locks at the end of your lease. And, unless it is embedded in the state statute or your lease, you do not have to give your landlord a copy of the new key you had made.
Landlords are in shock when I explain this to them because many of them, being owners and being conscious of maintaining the value of their property, believe that they can do whatever they want to the property during the lease period. And they routinely come by and "fuss over" the unit both inside and outside during the lease period. This is totally improper. If they have been doing this, you can allege that they have been breaching the warranty of quiet enjoyment that is your right under the lease.
To see how this relates to your situation, do an online look up of your state landlord tenant statutes with the information provided in that chapter. You can either read them online or print them out. Most landlord tenant statutes are relatively short (50 – 75 pages) and can be read in an hour or two. The intent of the language is fairly plain in most cases. If you run across some legal jargon that you do not understand, just key that word into an online legal dictionary and you'll be able to get the intent of the word. Take down the reasons why landlords may enter your rental unit and make sure there have not been any changes in the notice period since this book was written. Also check to see what your state statutes say about your landlord's right to a working key to your property (and your ability or inability to change the lock).
Next look at your lease and see what it says about the landlord's right to enter your property and their right to a working key. Your landlord tenant statutes should match your lease. Oftentimes they don't. Elsewhere in the book we go through the types of landlords that you might be up against, from the occasional inadvertent landlords all the way through to the professional landlord.
Professional landlords employ people to make sure their leases are fully compliant with all statutes. Even with these landlords however the lease may contain many illegal or unenforceable provisions because the landlord is taking the chance that their tenants will not litigate every provision.
The less professional landlords may have gotten their lease off the Internet, an office supply store, or simply written one up themselves. These are the ones that are most likely to have a discrepancy between what the state statutes says and the lease says. And these landlords are the ones most likely to have not even read the statutes and know what their proper behavior is. There are numerous situations that could apply:
- State statutes might prohibit actions that the landlord is taking
- State statutes might allow actions that the landlord is not taking because they are unaware that they have the ability to take those actions.
- The lease might be silent about things that should be covered in the lease to protect both landlord and tenant
- The lease language might attempt to grant the landlord some rights but be improperly drawn
- The landlord might be ignoring provisions of the lease and making up rules as he goes along
- The lease might contain all sorts of illegal language and grant the landlord rights that are too one-sided to ever be upheld if challenged
- The state statutes may have changed but the lease has not changed along with them. As a result the lease says that it is possible to do things that are now prohibited by state statute
- Many more possibilities exist. The state statutes set the general rules for what is permissible. The lease is supposed to be compliant with state statutes as well as set forth the landlord's duties to the tenant and the tenant's duties to the landlord. The landlord is supposed to be operating in accordance with both the spirit and the letter of the lease. Anyone of these three (statutes, lease, landlord) can be in conflict with the other two.
When you compare what the statutes say and what the lease says and what the landlord is doing (versus what they should be doing to be in compliance with the lease and statutes), you are going to come up with a fairly large list of infractions. Make a list of those and prioritize them as to which our most serious and also which are the easiest to document.
Once you have done that decide on your next step. While you may have additional options depending on the facts and circumstances of your situation, to possibilities come to mind:
1) Sue the landlord and ask for monetary damages. Possible grounds for your lawsuit would be illegal trespass, interference with tenants right to undisturbed use of the property (quiet enjoyment) infliction of emotional distress, possibly sexual-harassment
2) Break the lease and move out. The rationale used by people that use this tactic is that the landlord has made the rental unit uninhabitable on the basis of too-frequent visits and therefore is constructively evicting the tenant.
Landlords and property managers commit a breach of quiet enjoyment all the time. It forms one of the bases for a lawsuit for wrongful eviction.

It seems that Twitter is a service many people respond to, at least initially. New subscribers sign up at record speeds, only to disappear the following month. At its worst, it seems Twitter was losing 70% of their new users after the first month. Having improved somewhat this year, they still face a problem of 60% loss on new accounts. A representative for the research company Nielsen posted some interesting statistics that show very volatile growth for the service compared to its rivals.
Though the user base is still growing as a whole, the concern is that eventually all new users will be exhausted and growth will halt, or even worse, reverse. The simplicity of Twitter makes it easy for people to get into. At the same time, however, does the service offer enough to keep people around or is it more of a novelty that quickly wears off?

Good comparison of Pentax WP20 vs new Olympus 770SW for underwater use that highlights many features of interest to backpacking as well. Bottom line - the Pentax WP20 is declared the winner even before the newer WP30 was available.Link: http://www.popphoto.com/cameras/3552/underwater-camera-shootout.html

How can you get lean and gain muscle at the same time? There are many proposed ways and techniques on how do you get lean muscle. While some of the proposed ways work, others are pure hoaxes that cannot deliver any meaningful results.
Top 5 Secrets Of How Do You Get Lean Muscle Revealed
The secrets about how to burn fat and get lean muscle can be summed up as follows:
- Monitor your calorie intake
- Exercises
- Commitment
- Consistency
- Proper technique
Monitor Your Calorie Intake
To get lean and gain muscle you must monitor the amount of calories you consume. Women should consume between 1800 and 2500 calories per day while men should consume between 2300 and 2500 per day. You cannot get lean if your daily calorie intake exceeds these limits.
Secondly, you should check your diet. This does not mean that you should not overeat if you want to gain muscle or fast if you want to get lean. What this does mean is you must ensure you eat healthily. Your diet should mostly be comprised of whole grain foods, fruits and vegetables.
Protein should also be eaten but in moderation. If you get too much protein in your diet, the excess will be stored as fat in your body, thus defeating your goal of how do you get lean muscle. You should also eat the healthy poly and monosaturated fats.
Exercises Are A Must
Proper diet alone is not sufficient to make you lean and build muscle at the same time. You must exercise. The exercise should not be in the gym only. Walking, jogging, climbing stairs, performing sit-ups are simple exercises that have wonderful results if you want to get lean. You should also lift weights if you want to gain muscle.
Commitment Is Vital
Getting lean and gaining muscle will not happen in one day; it take time. You must be committed to achieve the desired positive results. At some point you will be tempted to eat foods that are high in calories and fats, but you must resist this temptation.
Your body will ache from lifting weights or climbing the stairs but you must remain committed in spite of all these challenges if you want to achieve how do you get lean muscle.
Consistency Is The Key
The secret to getting the desired results quickly is to be consistent. Daily exercises are recommended. However, if you cannot exercise every day, four days per week is the minimum. Give yourself one day break so your body can repair and rest itself.
Proper Technique
Proper technique is required to get lean and gain muscle. One of the most effective techniques is slow controlled movement. Lift the weights quickly, then pause and release slowly over the course of three to four seconds. This way you will keep control of the movement until the end.
Take time for a short rest then repeat. You should control the weight when releasing – do not drop it. This technique will ensure that your muscles work well. Your muscles will work and grow bigger.
You will be able to achieve a lean, fit body if you follow these top five secrets on how to get lean muscle.

Literary Combos
Okay, just for fun and because I might use them in a short story or something, let's make literary combos. I would like to make combos with Sherlock and Eilonwy. I love Sherlock Holmes, the books and movies, but I think it's way to connected to the character. I've never read the books Eilonwy comes from (though I'd like to) but The Black Cauldron was one of my favorite disney movies and Eilonwy is such a spunky princess. Her name is way to hard for the average American though.
So, keeping them both in the middle with something unusual but acceptable in the front, can you make me some combos with Sherlock and Eilonwy?
Thanks ^_^
Also, I'll throw it out there that if you want me or others to make literary combos in return, post a boy and girl literary names and your 'rules'. ^_^http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Blackwood/e/B00SARZLFY -- My Amazon Author Page

Sherlock and Eilonwy, fun. You should read the Prydain books, they're a quick read but really wonderful. Lloyd Alexander drew a lot of his inspiration from Welsh mythology. Which brings to mind a cool combo:
Gwydion Sherlock
or how about:
Benedict Sherlock (too much? )
Dorian Sherlock
I'm quite interested in any Eilonwy combos people come up with she's very high on my list for a middle.
I like Catherine Eilonwy, though Catherine is hardly unusual.
Dorothea Eilonwy
Saskia Eilonwy

Oh, I like Gwydion Sherlock! I also agree with the fay that you should read the books. Eilonwy's name was taken from a mermaid in Welsh folklore (I've got the book the story's in somewhere, but as our library takes up almost one floor of the house I can't locate it!). Anyways, I loved The Black Cauldron when I was little! Still do, really.
Ok, the delicious dude:
Lucian Sherlock
Peter Sherlock (not unusual, but Peter's got some magic, no?)
Godfrey Sherlock
Hadrian Sherlock
St John Sherlock
Constantine Sherlock
Horatio Sherlock
...the lovely lassies:
Euphemia Eilonwy
Cressida Eilonwy
Vanessa Eilonwy
Selene Eilonwy
Eirene Eilonwy

Thanks to the both of you. I'd love to read the books if I could find them. Our main library doesn't seem to have them and our favorite bookstore doesn't either. I'll ask the ladies if they can order it for me next time I'm in there. And I still love the movie too. I watched it a few weeks ago ^_^
Dorian Sherlock is fabulous! I love Dorian so much, but I used it for a very stupid King in my book that's about to be published and now it's ruined for an actual child. Maybe I'll say his middle name's Sherlock >.>
Lucian and Constantine Sherlock are awesome too.
Saskia and Marion Eilonwy are great too. Marion is especially pretty and doubly literary with Eilonwy ^_^
So, I'll write a short story with these. Devlin Sherlock and Marion Eilonwy for twins?http://www.amazon.com/Angel-Blackwood/e/B00SARZLFY -- My Amazon Author Page
