Robe Life On A Casual Day
Fashion is unpredictable at times. Who would expect that it can take a sleeping/loungewear on the street and make it look chic? It's edgy but it can be lovely. I was shopping for some new pieces three Saturdays ago, and I saw a robe on sale. This trend is only supposed to be for the Spring, but I bought it anyway. I love it. It is a pretty dark green robe. And the price was unbelievably affordable! I've been wanting to try one; so why not?
It's been raining in Austin lately, but on a lot of days it is sunny, humid and windy (which I love so much being that I come from a tropical country!). I thought wearing the robe was perfect for the weather two Sundays ago. Here goes my casual Sunday OOTD.
I really love how the robe turned out on this outfit. I was thinking that since it is summer time, I can make a little twist with it and not wear it fully open. I tied the sides together to make a cute knot/bow. Was it hot wearing it? No, not at all. Actually, the fabric is cool on the skin especially when the summer wind blows, and it was a very thin layer.
It went along with my burgundy body suit, patchwork denim jeans, slip-on loafers with embroidery, classic chained shoulder bag, gold digital retro watch and earrings.
Out of all the seasons of the year, I really love to dress up and shop the most in the summer time. It's my favorite time of the year even when I lived in the Philippines.
Outfit Breakdown: Forever21 Dark Green Robe (From Forever21 Sale Section) = $3.99 | Forever21 Burgundy Body Suit (From Forever21) = $10.99 | Kate Spade Patchwork Denim Jeans (From Sears Online Sale) = $44.97 | Wild Diva Lounge Loafers (From Forever21) = $24.99 | ALDO Midnight Black Fair Cross Body Bag (From ALDO Sale Season) = $35.00 | Casio Digital Retro Watch (From Amazon.com) = $37.94 | Earrings (From Target) = $3.99
(Disclaimer: A Sensible LifeSTYLE is not sponsored by any stores and brands mentioned above.)
I always try to put together an outfit less than $50.00, but there are times where I choose to invest in pricier classic stuff that I can use over and over with other outfits. I am over my target budget, but I have pieces that I will wear again.
So how are you spending your summer? Me, I am very excited to go home to my country and spend time with my family this July. It has been almost 2 years of not seeing them. I have missed our time together very much. I mean, I have some family here in America, but they are far in another state. So, I am looking forward to really seeing and hugging them in person. Don't get me wrong; I love my husband so much. He is my sunshine (awwwwwwwwww), and his family is super cool, fun and loving but still, you know, nothing feels like spending time with the person who bore you and the people you spent 22 years of your life with.
I love and treasure my family, and you should too, my dear readers. Every family is not perfect. They drive us nuts at times, but it would be sad and unreasonable not to love them. We drive them nuts too! The point is, we all have weaknesses. Time will come where we can't spend time with them like we used to or not at all. So, go and give 'em a hug or a virtual hug!
Enjoy your summer!

Several methods of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) image analysis have been used to predict progression of geographic atrophy (GA), however these methods are time intensive and require highly trained image graders. Additionally, controversy remains as to whether increased autofluorescence (AF) associated with GA is correlated with lesion progression. We wished to develop a rapid, easy-to-use, quantitative means of image analysis to segment GA and associated hyper-AF to examine the hypothesis that increased AF at lesion borders predicts progression of GA.
MATLAB based semiautomatic software was developed to segment and quantify GA lesion size, rate of progression and rim area focal hyper-AF (RAFH). A retrospective analysis of serial FAF images taken from 49 eyes of 30 subjects with GA was performed. Correlation between RAFH and progression of GA was analyzed using Spearman correlation. Comparison between RAFH tertiles was performed using generalized estimating equations and Kruskal-Wallis testing. To assess reproducibility, the calculated growth rate and RAFH were compared between two retina clinician graders.
Average GA lesion size was 7.55 mm2 and the average rate of progression was 0.16 mm2/month. RAFH was positively correlated with rate of GA progression with a Spearman correlation coefficient of 0.49 (p<0.001) for grader 1 and 0.54 (p<0.001) for grader 2. Subjects in the middle or highest tertile of RAFH were at greater risk of progression (p=0.005 for medium vs. low and p=0.001 for high vs. low). Median difference in RAFH between graders was 1.1% (IQR 0.02- 1.3%). Median difference in calculated lesion growth rate was 2.8% (IQR 0.87-8.8%). Importantly, stratification of subjects into RAFH tertiles was 97% identical between graders.
Progression of GA is positively correlated with RAFH. Our image analysis software was easy to-use as a high school student learned to use it effectively in a few hours. This software permits accurate, reproducible quantification of GA lesions and stratification of risk of progression based on RAFH. Our findings suggest that hyper-AF at GA lesion borders is predictive of lesion progression. RAFH may serve as an imaging biomarker for progressive GA and could be used to identify patients at increased risk of rapid progression for inclusion in future trials or for therapeutic intervention.

I left yesterday for Missouri, to visit my mom's family. We've been spending the day lounging by the pool with a various assortment of mixed drinks.
Me? I've been knitting. The Regal Silk Sweater to be exact. I have one more pattern repeat before I have to bind off for the front neckline!!
In the car yesterday, however, I spent my time finishing off a couple skeins of Cascade 220 on the Noni Adventure Bag. My aunt has a top-loading washer (we don't) so I may have a few FO's to show before long.
Anyway, I probably will not be able to post until Wednesday.
So keep on knitting, I know I will be. How else do you keep sane with family? Especially when you've been chosen to be the designated driver on a wine-tasting tour?

Cable Net Socks
I've been knitting on my socks quite a bit these past few days, but I keep forgetting to take pictures. And today, it's raining. So it will have to wait until tomorrow.
The charts for these socks have been kicking my ass- I hopped into the socks and Chart A, when I was supposed to use Chart B. Luckily, the charts are nearly identical except for the last 10 or so sts; but I understand them now and just have to finish fixing some mistakes on previous rows, which is taking a lot longer than I bargained for.
New Sock Yarn
I went to one of my favorite stores yesterday and bought some sock yarn for my pathetic sock stash.
Panda Cotton in Rosewater (socks for my mom)
Any thoughts on what pattern would work well with the Panda Cotton?
Regia Tweed in Green (socks for Hunter)
Regia Silk in Burgundy (socks for me!)
While I was at the LYS, I had a job interview! So I may work there part-time and it's right next to school next year!
Other Goodies
Hunter took a two-week canoeing/fishing/hiking trip in the Boundary Waters starting in Minnesota through Canada back around to Minnesota. He had a great time and even thought of me enough to bring home a few souvenirs:
I also got a t-shirt, but it's such a great color that I want to take a picture when it's sunny.
Hope everyone's having a great weekend!

Recent Obsessions
Posted by allie on June 7, 2007
I got my Ravelry invite this morning! It was very exciting: I've already added many projects and as much yarn as I could before my camera's battery died and I got tired of taking pictures. It's definitely as much fun as I heard it was– hats off to frecklegirl and her husband for taking on such a project.
I bought a few books the other day:
Knitting Lingerie Style is such a beautiful book and with many patterns I love and cannot wait to knit. I ordered some elann Esprit last night so I can make the basic bra and panty set(Orchid Pink) and the thigh-high stockings(Chamois). Very excited!
I've been eying this book for a while. What drew me to it initially was the French Twist part, but Simple Sewing with a French Twist has many simple projects that I think even I could make.
Last, but most certainly not least, is Amy Sedaris' new book I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence. It is amazing. I was reading it yesterday in the same room as Hunter and I kept bursting out laughing. He thought I was a little crazy, but I never said I wasn't. She makes me want to throw amazing parties and be just the quirky woman that I am. Love it… it's been my night-time reading for the past two days!
Also, I've been anxious to make nona's sidewinder socks, but I didn't have the right size circulars. I ordered a few of KnitPick's classic circulars so that I can knit them as soon as the needles arrive. They will be arriving with a couple more books, ones I've also been lusting after for quite a while.
Until next time, I will be wasting hours upon hours of my life, and possibly losing real-life friends, while I play with Ravelry!

Summer Projects
I have cast-on/swatched/purchased yarn for 3 different summer tops:
White Silk Sweater from Rebecca 33
I even took it with me to NC for Memorial Day:
This pattern is originally written to be knit flat in two pieces, but I wanted to knit it in the round, so I had to re-chart the lace, cast-on, etc.
Collared Tank from KnitSimple Spring/Summer 07
Cotton Twist
Summer Socks
After I modeled for Loopville, I bought some yarn (and they gave me a discount!)
I'm hoping to make nona's sideways socks

Short and Sweet Update
Posted by allie on May 21, 2007
Oh, it's been a very busy week. Graduation, which included lots of family in town, left little time for blogging this week. I do, however, have some knitty news.
My new project:
A great felted bag for summer made with Cascade 220 (my first experience with this yarn and it's been a good one).
Next, I went to my LYS and they currently have the Vogue Knitting Summer 2007 trunk show in town. Since they have the trunk show, there will be a piece on a local show and I will be modeling one of the garments tomorrow on tv!! I'm very excited and it's also one of my favorite patterns of the issue.
Anyway, more pics, thoughts, and a whole lotta bag progress coming your way very soon!

Fixation Gauge Drives Me Crazy
Posted by allie on April 2, 2007
Knitting with Fixation is a lesson in patience for me. I love the way it looks and stretches, but the tension is a pain in the neck.
I sat and finished the first sock while reading The Blind Assassin. The second sock I cast on at work, knit the ribbing, turned the heel and decreased the foot and knit it around for a few inches. That night I finished the toe, but didn't graft the toe together until this week. They still need the ends woven in and to be washed, but I will have a great pair of summer socks shortly!
Once I finished the Fixation socks, I've been working pretty much exclusively on my Somewhat Cowl, but I had a row or two of tension issues due to being used to knitting with Fixation. The rows aren't very obvious and I'm nearly done with the bottom ribbing. Once I have the body finished I will try it on and make sure everything is as it should or I may be ripping back a few inches to correct the gauge and/or waist increases.
I've not sewn another project but I've been doing lots of research and trying to organize a space for sewing. My family also went out of town this weekend to visit an aunt who is a master quilter and I have plans to "study" with her this summer. I'm really looking forward to it. Hopefully I'll have some more time to sew this coming week!
More pictures will be coming soon and I am combing my stash for projects to work on for the April/May Project Spectrum Colors. Some might even include sewing projcts, I hope.

I <3 Wool!!!
Posted by allie on February 5, 2007
I don't know what it is, but everything I've been knitting lately is woolly and wonderful. Today, I spent my time working on Wicked, Central Park Hoodie, and my Hidcote Garden Shawl.
I love the feel of wool as it winds through my fingers and I am always reminded that no fiber will ever be as perfect (to me) as wool!!
Anyone else who loves wool and cannot knit with anything but, a shout-out is encouraged…

Scarves, Socks, and Snow… Oh my!

Two Finished Objects
I woke up this morning and began to knit with a vengeance. I finished Hunter's blanket, finally!! Only 13 days late. Since he had a regional swim meet today, he took a nap with the blanket this afternoon. I will post a picture of him and the blanket together soon.
Cast-on: Summer 2005/ Finished: February 3, 2007
Yarn: JoAnn Sensations Rainbow Boucle (acrylic/nylon blend) I bought this yarn WAY before I became a fiber purist
Needles: US 10 Interchangable needles, Adii 40″ circular, and Susan Bates Quiksilver straight needles, I got so bored with this project that switching needles made it more bearable
Notes: I started this pattern when I was still a relatively novice knitter and it is SOOOO monotonous. I will NEVER make a garter stitch blanket again!!!
Once I finished the blanket, I decided to cast off my Bejewled and weave in all the ends. I wore it to work tonight, even though I haven't blocked it yet. And every time I looked down, I DID feel a little fancy!
Cast-On: January 16, 2007/ Finished: February 3, 2007
Pattern: Bejeweled by Lisa Shobhana Mason
Yarn: Universal Yarn Inc Eden Silk (wool/silk blend) Color: Sky
Needles: Clover Takumi US 8
Modifications: I think my scarf is a little shorter than the pattern instructs, but only because I didn't want to run out of yarn
Notes: I can't wait to use this yarn again. It is a treat to work with and has great stitch definition. Definitely a favorite!
Project Spectrum
I took these pictures on Day 1 of PS and haven't had a chance to post them yet. Thursday happened to be the only "Snow Day" we will be having here in east TN.
White and Gray:
I posted my yarn for the Cable net socks and began swatching a few days ago. I've been focused on Hunter's blanket for the most part and haven't done too much swatching yet.
The Yarn Haven just opened replacing my old LYS Knit n Purl. The selection is beautiful and the owner is SOOO sweet. If you're ever in Knoxville, check it out!! I bought a couple skeins of yarn to make a beret next fall, because I don't really have the time now and it's almost warm again.

World Cup Soccer at Legion Field
March 24, 2005
On Wednesday, March 30 the most popular sports tournament in the world will make Birmingham's Legion Field the "Soccer Capitol of the South" for one evening. The United States Men's National soccer team will host Guatemala in a second round 2006 World Cup qualifying match that promises to pack thousands into the stands. Once revered as "The Football Capitol of the South," Legion Field's success at hosting past soccer matches hasn't been too shabby either; the U.S. Olympic men's team played two games there in 1996, drawing a crowd of 46,000 for the second match. The Men's National team attracted 22,000 in 2000 and 24,000 in 2002 for non-World Cup events.
The upcoming bout with Guatemala will be tough and not simply because of the opponent; two days earlier the U.S. will be in Mexico to face the Mexican National team. Both the Mexico and Guatemala matches will be telecast live on ESPN2, with noon and 7 p.m. starting times, respectively. Sentimental fans of the stadium should note that this will likely be the final event held at Legion Field before the condemned upper deck comes tumbling down (by design). City officials have reassured all concerned that the upper deck is safe as long as it remains unoccupied. But then again, Legion Field has never been invaded by a bunch of rowdy World Cup soccer hooligans.

It has been more than a week now that Pashtuns from all over Pakistan are striving in a sit-in outside National Press Club Islamabad, for their voices to be heard.
The sit-in which started as a movement for providing justice to a victim of extra-judicial killing, Naqeeb Ullah Mehsud, has quickly acquired broad and multiple dimensions and has also garnered international attention.
Organized by youth leaders from FATA, the nature of the sit-in is organic. Bereft of any involvement of interest driven politicos or troublemaking foreign factors, the sit-in signifies the pent-up frustrations of Pashtuns accumulated over the years as a consequence of injustices endured at the hands of, more or less, the Pakistani state.
Up till now, the approach of the sit-in protesters has been non-violent, and their conduct, highly civilized and unprecedented in the history of Pakistan.
The demands of the sit-in are also legal and legitimate, clear and constitutional.
The participators of the sit-in demand the arrest and punishment of Rao Anwar and others involved in NaqeebullahMehsud's killing, they also demand the release of "missing persons" from FATA and the removal of land mines from Waziristan.
But since the inception of the sit-in, no Pakistani media outlet has even dared to cover a bit of it. Every media outlet has exercised disinterest, and has abstained from providing coverage to the sit-in.
Ironically, Indian media has shown more interest in the sit-in as compared to Pakistani media, and has also attempted to give the sit-in anti-Pakistan dimensions, which raises serious questions about the priorities of the so-called free Pakistani media.
Prior to this sit-in, the Pakistani media has provided 24/7 coverage to orchestrated and politically motivated sit-ins bent on violence and instability e.g. the Khadim Hussain led Faizabad Fiasco. And it is beyond comprehension why the Pakistani media is shying away from providing coverage to a genuine demonstration now.
The abysmal apathy shown towards the Pashtun sit-in by the Pakistani media gives the impression that the Pakistani media is not at all interested in broadcasting and propagating genuine interests and issues of the populace.
Moreover, this act of abandonment begs to be used as a logic by ill willed elements for enticing Pashtuns of an already polarised and terror-ridden region towards further extremism.

THE NHS plan to bring in a further 300 new paramedics to Essex over the next three years following the announcement of new funding.
An extra 330 staff and 160 ambulances will be sought over the coming three years after funding rose from £213.5m spent in 2017 to 2018 to £225m for 2018 to 2019.
Following a wide ranging report from NHS England and NHS Improvement, a group of 19 clinical commissioners in the east of England agreed a new six-year contract with the ambulance service and the agreement will see funding rise again over the coming years.
Deloitte and Operational Research In Health (ORH), the report's authors, looked at the operational and financial needs of the trust, and to also support the development of a more sustainable way of running the services.
Speaking about the new contract, Robert Morton, chief executive of the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST), said: "This is an excellent step forward as we aim to ease the strain on our existing staff who work incredibly hard for patients.
"That strain has been evident particularly over the last few months, during the increased demand which winter pressures always brings to the NHS.
"As a system, we are looking after more people with complex long-term conditions than ever before.
"This will take time to do. Extra funding will mean the ambulance service can expand to meet the rising demand."
The ambulance service held talks with the 19 clinical commissioners last year.
Ed Garratt, Chief Officer for Ipswich and East Suffolk Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), which is lead commissioner for the 19 CCGs which pay for EEAST services, added: "Commissioners have committed significant additional investment over the next two years to increase both staffing and ambulance vehicle levels.
"Everyone involved is determined to make the necessary lasting improvements to enable well-supported staff to deliver the very best care for patients."

The reasons for lift upgrades vary. Some people are under the assumption that lift upgrades only occur when a lift is particularly old or isn't working as it should. In fact, there are a number of reasons why people often opt for lift upgrades – as we're about to outline.
- Disability Discrimination Act
Many buildings have to undertake a lift refurbishment or perform lift upgrades to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act. Ensuring that your lift is accessible to all, is a must if you are offering services to the public and this often means making tweaks to your existing lifts. Some of the lift features that are added during lift upgrades, to comply with the Disability Discrimination Act include: floor announcements, tactile and audible push buttons and signals, lift car handrails and accessible intercoms.
- Health and Safety Lift Upgrade
Just like with the Disability Discrimination Act, lifts must adhere to strict health and safety regulations. Failing to comply can at best, land you with a hefty fine and at worst, a major accident that could cause serious harm to people. These kinds of lift upgrades are common on quite old lifts and building.
- Aesthetic Upgrade
Lift upgrades on ugly or old lifts are common if only to approve the aesthetics of the lift. If it doesn't fit in with the rest of the building or looks particularly tired, it can have a detrimental effect on your business or building as a whole. Giving a lift a quick facelift can work wonders for the impression it gives.
- Performance Lift Upgrade
If a lift is struggling to perform to its ability then that's often a sign that a lift upgrade is needed. Lift upgrades are often all that's necessary rather than a whole lift replacement, to get the lift up to code.

I'm a total sucker for any kind of purple makeup. This primer is by Korean brand It'sSkin, and it also comes in a green format to cancel redness in the skin.
This lavender primer is what I use on a particularly crappy day (i.e. if I hardly slept and it's gloomy out). It has a nice, light scent and feels very moisturizing. The colour lavender has a great brightening effect to the skin, offering a subtle but instant pick-me-up. I don't use this all over my face - I'd look like a ghost. Instead, I like to apply 3 small dots on my cheeks, and maybe one dot on both the forehead and chin, and then pat it in. Then, continue on with the makeup as usual.
As you can see, it blends out quite sheer but still gives a nice brightening effect. This primer's primary function is simply to brighten the skin; I don't think it does much in the application or longevity of makeup. Perhaps you can layer it over another primer you usually use! Unfortunately, this wouldn't work on darker complexions - Korean makeup is pretty much centred around light complexion.
This option is budget friendly, but a good higher-end option is the Stila Colour Correcting Primer. It has a swirl of different colour-correcting colours such as green, lavender and apricot, but overall it brightens the skin really well.

For the duration of the film, Pierre Bismuth placed a pen, so to speak, in Claudia Cardinale's right hand so that through her movements the actress produced a drawing on the screen. Thus the original image and sound track of the movie are transmitted here in a greatly reduce sign language, whose meaning we can only decipher from the title of the work.
The same for Sophia Loren's right hand....

"Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm" - Inquisition: The Best Album of 2010
I've been meaning to write about Inquisition's latest album "Omininous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm" for quite some time now, but after seeing this album pop up all over metal critics' "Best of 2011" lists within the past couple of weeks, I feel like now is the perfect time for me to weigh in on this album with my own thoughts. Before I begin, however, I would like to say that without a doubt this would be my favorite album of 2011, except since it technically originally came out in 2010 I'm not going to include it in my own "Best of 2011" list. Yeah, yeah, it wasn't on my "Best of 2010" list last year, but I hadn't heard it until this year and I don't feel like going back and editing that old post, so whatever.
Anyway, I'm really happy to see this album getting such high praise because I feel like it's easily one of the best black metal albums to come out in a long time. I know some people are turned-off by Dagon's Immortal-esque croaky vocals and the lack of a bass (I definitely can't hear any bass whatsoever on this album, pretty sure it's just guitars), but besides that, there's nothing else to dislike! Inquisition somehow come up with pretty simplistic riffs, but MAN are they bitchin'. Whether they're fast and pummeling ("Astral Path to Supreme Majesties") or slow, groove-laden, and hypnotic as fuck ("Desolate Funeral Chant"), or a combination of both ("Crepuscular Battle Hymn"), it's been over a year and I'm still not over them. However, what really drives Inquisition's "sound" are the vaguely psychedelic lyrics and occult themes that layer the album with a very strong mystical atmosphere, to borrow from the title of the album. If you've read any Inquisition interviews, it's pretty safe to say that Dagon actually seems pretty serious about his shit. Viewing space as the physical embodiment of the anti-cosmic Satanic spirit, mysterious pagan rites, mythical beasts, astral projection, inter-dimensional travel, it's all in there, and Inquisition's lyrical themes and mystique definitely contribute positively to their overall sound.
I don't want to go on for too long blabbing away about how cool I think this album is, just check it out for yourself! I'm pretty sure you'll dig it!
Labels: black metal, Dagon, Incubus, Inquisition, Ominous Doctrines of the Perpetual Mystical Macrocosm

The recent financial crisis has, strangely enough, had little impact so far on the volume of rentals, and the dollar value of those rentals, for the 2009 summer season as compared to 2008. Sandcastle Vacation Homes on Martha's Vineyard (dba Sandcastle Realty Inc.- http://www.sandcastlemv.com/ ) has unique software that allows easy comparison for any given period of time. In addition, our vacation home owners seem to be holding their 2008 rates for the most part. All of this is good news for everyone! Come visit!!

OK, I'm not going to lie, I am not all for the singer/actress turned designer, however I think Gwen Stefani has a good thing going. Sure, her stuff is a little pricey for me, but then what designer brand isn't? This sandal has a great neutral color scheme. The style isn't so generic for me, but that is why I think it works and is totally cool looking. *High five* Gwen.
Ooh, these are different without being over the top, which I have to say, is just like Gwen. But I am a huge fan. Tragic Kingdom got me through my teens!

Conservative Corner: The Negative Reflection of Racism
November 24, 2013 Leave a comment
Our founding fathers, in their ultimate wisdom, designed our Constitution to be molded along with the needs of the American people. Anyone with the will, drive and desire can become that certain person who represents the people in local, state, and federal governments.
Most any elected official or politically active person will tell you if you want to change the laws and policies in your community, getting elected to a city council or school board is a great way to start. This fall that very thing happened in Houston, Texas. Dave Wilson claimed he was tired of "all the shenanigans", according to www.khou.com, and wanted to change some things at the Houston Community College System. Mr. Wilson was faced with a major challenge. He is an older white conservative Republican in a predominately black Democrat area. To help with the campaign he had printed up fliers that some called questionable at best.
The mailer featured anonymous photos of black people and an endorsement from Ron Wilson, a long time black representative in the Houston area. Unfortunately, the Ron Wilson the flier was referring to was Dave Wilson's cousin and not the respected representative. That information was noted on the flier in small print. The flier also begged the voter to "Please vote for our friend and neighbor Dave Wilson." According to http://www.politico.com Mr. Wilson claimed "It's a sales job. I'm trying to get votes and trying to get people to support me and I wanted to focus on the issues."
Maybe Dave Wilson shouldn't have used random faces on his fliers or lead people to assume that he meant a different endorsement, but was his campaign as "pathetic" as www.chron.com, a local Houston paper, called it?
If Mr. Wilson's campaign was racist, what is more racist, a white man trying to connect to his future constituents who happen to be a black majority, or a community who have a black majority and may not vote for a candidate because of the color of his skin? Maybe the people of Houston aren't as racist as they appear. Mr. Wilson won the seat on the board by 26 votes. Perhaps the people of Houston voted on the issues and not Wilson's race. The local TV station, www.khou.com, reported Mr. Wilson as saying, "I'd always said it was a long shot," Wilson says. "No, I didn't expect to win."
Was Dave Wilson's campaign wrong and racist? Perhaps he could have been a bit more honest regarding his endorsement, but does that make him a racist? Some may consider his actions morally wrong, however, no more wrong than other political and social leaders.
Calif., Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters screamed out "The tea party can go to hell!" during a town hall meeting in 2011. According to www.americanthinker.com, Texas Democrat congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee said "Differ with Barack Obama and you're a Racist". Even during the 2008 and 2012 elections members of the Black Panthers intimidated white voters by deploying themselves outside of voting booths according to www.wnd.com. We have gotten over black racism enough to elect a black man to the highest office in the land twice even with a long list of scandals including fast and furious, Benghazi, the IRS targeting conservative groups and many more.
In a way of speaking, yes, racism is alive and well in America, and the President help cement the division between the skin color of our fellow countrymen with his assessment of the Trayvon Martin case. You can see the racist views in many people when a hoodlum in a hoody violently attacked a Hispanic neighborhood watchman who tried to defend himself and was called the racist term, "crazy-ass cracker", for trying save his own life.
On November 11 of this year Oprah Winfrey said in a BBC interview that whites hate Obama because he's black. She went on to say that "racists need to die". A few days later she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. That is one heck of an award for such a hateful statement.
There was ugly time in our past when we judged people by how dark their skin is. There may be some white people who still do, however, when was the last time you saw a life ruined due to being racist to a black person? Today being labeled a racist against blacks is like putting a target on your forehead. Groups like the NAACP and "civil rights" leaders like Al Sharpton, and Jesse Jackson seem to make it a point to only target white people even if they are not completely Caucasian.
Today's world seems backwards from even 30 years ago. It seems as though we have went from discriminating against blacks to blaming whites for being racists. It is a shame, even after all these years we still can't look past our skin to find the goodness in people. In the immortal words Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we need to "not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." I believe also applies to everyone.

SDS Acoustic Enclosure tames 1000bhp, reducing 109dB(A) to 79dB(A)
Sound Damped Steel designed an enclosure for an engine test facility where engines up to 1,000 horse power are dyno tested, the problem was extremely challenging. Prior to the SDS installation conversation in the entire factory and offices was impossible, neighbouring factories were complaining about the noise and had even bought there own noise meters to monitor the noise from this location. After the installation normal conversation could take place beside the enclosure.
The enclosure needed observation windows which were 10mm thick polycarbonate and access doors large enough for a forklift to drop the massive engines in place. The steel used was 2mm SDS damped which controlled the radiated noise and lined with 50mm SDS HiMass foam which reduced the airborne noise. An extraction system was included to ventilate the enclosure to remove fumes & heat from the test bed. The first part of the clip shows a motor on full revs without any enclosure in place, the reading peaked at 110dB(A), it then shows the enclosure in place with the doors open which gives a reading of 99dB(A), as the doors close the reading drops to 79dB(A). This reduction has removed more than 99% of the original power level.
The next phase shows the motor on tick over, with the doors open the noise is 94dB(A) reducing to 69dB(A) with them closed. Again this is a power reduction in excess of 99%.

12 of the best GPS devices for your car
Tom Tom GO 620 — Save $20
Garmin Drive 50 — Save $35.90
Garmin DriveSmart 61 — Save $60
While today's smartphones are loaded with Google Maps or Apple Maps, they are merely quick solutions for traveling short distances. Believe it or not, getting a dedicated GPS device for your car or truck is still the best way to get to your destination safely and with ease.
Companies like Garmin and TomTom specialize in safe car travel and update their maps and traffic reports whenever changes occur on the road. GPS devices also offer the peace of mind that you'll never get lost, even when you're in a new location — including remote areas. They can also help you find the nearest restaurant, shopping mall, rest area, and other locations that might be considered off-the-beaten-path.
These are the GPS units and dash devices you should turn to the next time you're planning a big family road trip or if your daily commute to work is riddled with construction sites and heavy traffic jams. They could very well help you get out of a sticky situation.
Here are 13 of the best GPS units for your car.
1. Magellan RM6220-LM GPS Navigator — Best budget pick
Equipped with a 5-inch touchscreen, the is the best GPS you can buy that won't break the bank. For less than $65, the small, yet powerful device has the ability to display the latest full 3D maps available, including ever-changing landmarks in metro areas, with lifetime North America map updates. It even features "Traffic Camera Alerts by PhantomALERT," Magellan's alert system that gives you up-to-the-minute traffic reports for red lights and speed cameras on your route. While the GPS is a bit hefty at 1.13 pounds, it's still portable enough to take from car-to-car.
Many reviewers rave about this GPS unit, specifically calling out the great dash cam. Here's what one reviewer had to say:
"I've had this unit for a couple years now and love it. The first year I had it, the lithium battery failed and expanded so much it cracked the screen and case. Magellan warranty replaced it quickly with no problems and the replacement unit has been great. I purchased this specifically because of the dash cam integrated with the gps. As a heavy duty diesel mechanic, I'm constantly on the road for service calls or road tests. People are terrible drivers around semi trucks or my big tool truck, so I needed something to keep track of what happened on the road. 4 times it's saved me from people cutting me off in a semi and slamming on their brakes to make an off ramp and they're surprised when I cannot stop on a dime. It's very easy to review the video directly on the unit and send the video from the micro card. It makes proving that I did nothing wrong to the police very easy. It tracks speed, gps location and impact forces among other things, and in the event of an accident it will automatically save that video. Although, you do need to clear some of the saved videos often, or the card gets full. The gps part is very nice too, I like that it displays speed, but my truck has larger tires and my speedo is isn't accurate, so I just go off the gps. The only thing I don't like is it's difficult to use the touch screen with my big fingers, but I got a rubber tipped stylus pin and that works great."
2. — Best for daily commuters
If you're looking for a reliable GPS device that will get you from home to work day-in-and-day-out, then the Garmin DriveSmart 51 NA LMT-S is the one for you. For less than $200, this handy device features a five-inch touchscreen that connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth to give you a hands-free option to place phone calls, read text messages, and get calendar reminders without taking your eyes off the road.
The GPS also features Garmin's very detailed travel and traffic maps that will show you when and where a traffic jam may occur in real-time. It also comes with free lifetime updates, so you'll always feel good about getting to your final destination safe and sound.
3. — Best utility
This model by Garmin is the best utility GPS device because it features a number of safety features, such as driver alerts for oncoming traffic and fatigue warnings, Garmin Drive for when you're about to reach a school or hospital zone, and Up Ahead for milestones and landmarks during your journey.
It features detailed maps of the United States with lifetime free updates for current streets and current speed limits, so you'll never get caught in a "speed trap" again. The device also features locations of popular restaurants and stores thanks to FourSquare integration. If you just want a reliable, no nonsense GPS device, then this is the one for you. There's nothing fancy here, just great maps and quality turn-by-turn directions.
4. — Best voice-activated navigation
If you're looking for a completely hands-free solution for getting directions and driving at the same time, the Garmin Speak is a GPS device that incorporates the Amazon Alexa with the reliability of Garmin. It's also really simple to use and pairs directly to your smartphone and the Garmin app via Bluetooth. In fact, there is only a barebones display and no touchscreen, so it's really all about using the power of speech.
So if you need directions to Starbucks, just request "Hey Alexa! Ask Garmin to get directions to the nearest Starbucks" and the assistant will give you turn-by-turn directions. It's basically like having an Echo Dot on your dashboard. And since it's Alexa-enabled, it has the same functionality of any Amazon device, so you can pull up news and weather, your playlists, order items from Amazon directly, and information on just about anything on the internet.
In addition, the GPS also has the option for a built-in dash cam that will record and save car footage with a simple voice command.
5. — Best seller
The Garmin Drive 50 USA LM is the for a reason. It's easy to set up, reliable, has free lifetime map updates, and offers clear turn-by-turn directions at a reasonable price. The device features driver alerts that let you know when you're in a school zone or if the speed limit suddenly changes, lane departure warning if you're veering off the road, and a solid dash cam to record potential collisions. It also features a five-inch touchscreen that's as responsive as it is clear and bright. The GPS even features voice search and commands for easy hands-free navigation while driving.
But don't take our word for it, here's what satisfied Amazon customer had to say about the device:
"We love this. We got it after returning a Tom Tom that stopped working after less then 2 days. This is a great GPS. It's very user friendly and has all the bells and whistles you could want. The controls are so easy to set. The routes are very clear and the little car shows you where you're going. The voice alerts are perfect also. They let you know what to do in plenty of time. We really like this and have recommend it to many of our friends. Those that have gotten it have also been pleased."
The is regularly priced at $150 but we've seen it on sale for $104 on Amazon.
6. — Best non-Garmin GPS device
If Garmin is the Coca-Cola of global positioning systems, then TomTom is Pepsi. Both companies are great for maps and directions, though there are minor differences when it comes to approach and services.
For example: Garmin is an American company that focuses on GPS units for North America, while TomTom is based in Amsterdam and is the leading brand of GPS navigation in Europe. If you want something that's a little different from Garmin, then the TomTom GO 500 is the best non-Garmin GPS device you can buy.
With its lightweight, five-inch touchscreen display, the device from TomTom features interactive maps that come with free lifetime updates, up-to-the-minute traffic reports via smartphone tethering, and up to 99.9% map coverage of North America. It also features parking assist, so you'll never aimlessly drive around looking for an empty parking spot again.
7. — Best rated
While the Garmin Drive 50 USA LM is the #1 best-seller, the Garmin Nuvi 57LM is the best rated on Amazon. The GPS features real-time traffic updates, while it also has Garmin's Direct Access option that gives you easy and simple directions to popular locations around you, such as shopping malls and airports, along with highly-rated restaurants and shops from the built-in FourSquare app. It includes free lifetime map updates of all 50 states, along with maps of Canada and Mexico.
"This unit is more than I expected. It warned us of an accident that took place on the road 20 miles ahead of us while driving at night and on the return trip it warned us of an interstate closure because of a severe accident, then directed us on an alternative route to not get stuck in traffic. Awesome!"
The retails for $199.99 and has a 5-star rating from more than 2,500 reviewers on Amazon.
8. — Best RV GPS device
The Garmin dēzl 770LMTHD is built for professional drivers and commercial use for long-haul semi-trucks and recreational vehicles (RVs) for families. It's reliable for navigating through less known areas and truck-related restrictions, like short bridge heights and weight limits. It's also powered by FourSquare, so it's good at locating truck stops, rest areas, weigh stations, and repair shops for bigger vehicles.
The device also comes with lifetime maps and real-time traffic reports, while it's a lifesaver for avoiding sharp curves and turns and narrow lanes. It even accounts for your own vehicle after you plug in its length and weight into the device itself, so the GPS can stay within your vehicle's driving limits.
The is a bit pricy at $375.66, but packs in extra features for those going off the beaten path.
9. — Best for world travelers
If you plan to travel outside of the United States, the TomTom Go 520 is the perfect GPS for traveling around the world. With its five-inch screen, the Go 520 delivers maps and real-time traffic information just like any other good GPS device, but it comes with the added bonus of lifetime updates and access to maps from around the world at no additional cost. World maps are ready for download whenever you need them, so you can rest assured that you'll never get lost, even if you're in a foreign country. The device is even compatible with Apple's Siri or Google Now via Bluetooth, so you can have hands-free capabilities with ease.
10. — Best GPS with dash cam
You know that pick for the best GPS for "" from earlier in this list? Well, the Garmin DriveAssist 51 NA LMT-S is near identical to that model, but it also includes a built-in dash cam that continuously records footage of everything that happens in front of the car. The device features "DriveAssist" software that will automatically save and send video, as a text message or link, if it detects a crash. In addition, the software features forward-collision warnings and lane-departure alerts so you don't lose control of the car.
The will not only help you get to your destination, it can also keep you safe.
11. — Best voice command
While many smartphones have voice assistants and voice commands baked in, they are still not as reliable as a GPS device that was built for navigation and safety. If you're looking for a seamlessly hands-free GPS navigator, then the Garmin Nuvi 2689 LMT is the ideal solution. While it features real-time traffic updates and lane guidance, the GPS's biggest selling point is its always-on voice-activated navigation system.
It features natural language directions and voice commands, so you can keep your eyes on the road and not get distracted with robotic speech like you might find from others on the market. The device also connects to your smartphone via Bluetooth, so you can also use your voice to control your phone while you drive safely to your destination.
The six-inch model of the retails for $224.95 from Walmart.
12. — Best in-dash setup
If you're looking for something more high-end, the AVIC8201NEX Flagship In-Dash Navigation AV from Pioneer is the all-in-one GPS and entertainment device for your car. The seven-inch in-dash display requires some installation, but Pioneer makes it really easy to just plug-and-play your car's inputs into the sophisticated GPS device.
Not only can you use the device for navigation with world-class maps and precision turn-by-turn directions, it's also an entertainment center with a built-in DVD player, Sirius XM radio, and Pandora streaming out of the box. It also features Apple Carplay when you plug in your iPhone. This feature essentially turns the devices interface into Apple iOS with voice commands from Siri for hands-free navigation and controls.
The Pioneer AVIC-8201NEX Flagship In-Dash Navigation AV features premium performance with a premium price tag of .

The Grenada National Coalition on the Rights of the Child (GNCRC) is hoping to raise awareness of child abuse this April, as it is the month dedicated for that specific purpose.
This month has been dubbed Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month and is being celebrated under the theme, "Empowering families and communities to keep children safe."
"What we are saying is it is the responsibility of each and every citizen of Grenada to be involved in child protection," said Chairman of GNCRC Ann Greaves.
She said for this month, the GNCRC will be engaging in presentations to schools and a pediatric clinic.
"We are having some difficulties setting up the meeting with the schools but we are very hopeful that we will be targeting at least one school in each parish," she added.
"The element of the presentation will be two fold: we will be actually telling children about their rights, how to keep safe, we'll be talking about safe touches, being able to tell others of any abuse that is actually taking place."
According to Greaves, the presentation at the Pediatric Clinic will take place almost at the end of the month.
"We will be targeting children who are in need so in a sense it's a very preventative measure. We have had one Pediatric Clinic before and it was a huge success and it was a couple years ago as part of our activities for Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month and because it was a huge success we are embarking on doing so again this month," said Greaves.
She said with the pediatricians that are on board they are hoping to see 20 or more children.
Director of the Child Protection Authority, Kallon Simon who welcomed the month said more people are reporting child abuse as compared to years ago.
"Up to 2-3 years ago, I don't think child protection matters that child abuse was in the forefront and in particular last year, Mrs. Greaves and others have been in the public domain and the fact that we would have launched a national protocol for child abuse and the fact that we are constantly in the media, we are now recording child abuse and more people are coming forward with informing about child abuse," he said.
He said in recognition of Child Abuse Awareness and Prevention Month, the Child Protection Authority will engage in a march in Carriacou.

Home improvements are an ongoing process and can be expensive, time consuming, and laborious. So, should you be considering any, you will naturally wish for them to last as long as possible. This will mean having to avoid any future trends that will be outmoded within perhaps a few years, and also investing in those improvements that are going to endure with the least amount of upkeep and maintenance.
Not forgetting, that such improvements will increase the value of your home, and also increase your enjoyment while you're living there. From a new front door to a kitchen revamp, these home improvements are some of the longest lasting and most popular.
- Front Door
A new front door will add a new level of security to your home, and can help boost your home's curb appeal at the same time. A brand new, quality front door can also be painted again and again to change the look and feel of your house with a slap of paint.
- Driveway
What about the state of your driveway? Is it looking a bit dog eared and in need of a new surface? A visually enhanced driveway out at the front and/or side of anyone's home can make quite a statement on the look of someone's home. If seeking the very best, surfacing contractors in Norwich, for a new driveway, make sure to consult with a company who can satisfy all your needs with a top quality product and service to match.
- Wood Flooring
Popular high quality, real wood flooring, lasts for more than a century if taken care of. Hardwood flooring can also be sanded down and varnished over and over, to make it look new every time, making it a superb investment in your home.
- Windows
New windows can be one of the longest lasting features in your home upgrade. Newer windows are nowadays much more energy efficient, and help to block damaging UV rays from entering your home. Glass never degrades with time, and neither do modern frames.
- Roof
The roof is obviously one of the most important and essential parts of your home. It protects you and your belongings from the effects of the elements, and definitely increases your curb appeal. A top quality roof is a certain investment for the future, with modern roofing materials like concrete, metal, and fibre cement can last for over 50 odd years. This makes your roof one of the longest lasting home improvements that you can possibly make.
- Kitchen
Definitely a place which impacts the senses! A new kitchen is always on peoples' minds for one home improvement they'd like to see happen in their homes. A new layout can last for a very long time, and enable you to remove and upgrade cabinets, appliances, flooring, and backsplash minus much intensive renovation work.
Ensuring that it lasts
With regards to home improvements, the longer lasting they are, the much better the investment. So make the right choice and enjoy your new surroundings!

Advances in the Control of Dissolved and Colloidal Substances Present in Papermaking Processes: A Brief Review
In the production of paper, especially when using mechanical pulp or recovered wood-containing paper, a large amount of dissolved and colloidal substances (DCS), mainly composed of hemicelluloses, extractives, lignans, and lignin-related substances, are released from the pulp and dissolved or dispersed into the process water. The accumulation of DCS during the papermaking operations due to the closure of process water systems gives rise to various detrimental impacts on the papermaking process and the resulting paper products. Thus it is indispensible to remove or control the DCS in order to overcome or alleviate their negative influences. This review emphasizes recent advances in control of DCS by physical, chemical, and biological methods. The widely used fixatives such as aluminum sulfate, poly-(aluminum chloride), polyamines, polyvinyl amine, and highly cationic starch, as well as their functional effectiveness, mechanism, influencing factors, and influences on paper products are considered. Simultaneously, biological treatments including fungal treatment and enzymatic treatments with lipase, pectinase, laccase, and immobilized enzymes, are also assessed in detail. DCS control has been an important way to improve the runnability of paper machines and the quality of wood-containing paper and recycled paper products. Advances in DCS control are likely to create additional benefits to the papermaking industry in the coming years.

As Pilate had ordered, a soldier placed, above Jesus' head, a notice reading 'Jesus of
Nazareth, King of the Jews" (John 19:20)
The cross was hoisted into place.
Mary and John, stayed at the foot of the cross and prayed.
Jesus looked down and said to his mother "Dear woman, here is your son"(John 19:26) and to John "Here is your mother" (John 19:27)
Even at this terrible time, he was taking care of his mother.
The sky was dark.
Jesus said "I am thirsty". (John 19:28) A soldier offered him wine mixed with vinegar.
The two thieves that were crucified beside Him, talked to Him.
Looking at one of them he said, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43).
Jesus said, "EIi, Ebi, lama sabachthani? - My God, my God, why have you
forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)
Then he said "Father, into your hands I commend my spirit (Luke 23:46)
A few moments later He said, "It is finished"
He died.
At that instant, the earth shook, rocks split, the curtain in the temple ripped from top to bottom. The centurion guarding Jesus saw the earth quake and said "Surely he was the Son of God" (Matthew 27:54).
Jesus died at 3 p.m. on the Cross at Calvary.
Dear Jesus, death is hard for us to understand. Remind us always that faith will carry us through our losses.
Mary, help me to see Jesus in all things.
Almighty Father, Help me to understand Jesus' death. Help me to understand the love Jesus has for me. This I ask through Christ Our Lord. Amen

Khloé Kardashian is leaning on Tristan Thompson to take care of their 12-week-old daughter True as she returns to work.
"I'm very grateful because Tristan is being a great daddy and he has done all the feedings while I've been gone," Kardashian, 34, said on Snapchat Friday during her first day back on the job at her brand Good American.
"Shout out to all the good dads out there," the mother of one said about the Cleveland Cavaliers power forward, who is also dad to 18-month-old son Prince from his previous relationship with Jordan Craig.
"First day back at work since having True! I'm anxious to leave True but also eager to get back to work now that I have a new push and motivation," Kardashian also shared on Snapchat. "It's not just for me anymore."

And after her first day back at work, the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reality star celebrated the milestone with some quality time with her baby girl.
The new mom also shared an adorable new video of True smiling for the camera as Kardashian said, "Who is that beautiful girl?"

On the last day of her maternity leave, Kardashian admitted that she was nervous about being away from her baby girl for the first time.
"I've been thinking about the 6th, the 6th, the 6th, oh my God, I have to start work on the 6th and I've been getting just anxious about it. And today I'm very anxious," she said in a series of selfie videos shared on Snapchat Thursday.
"I don't know what to do because I love our routine together," Kardashian added, even apologizing to her oldest sister, Kourtney Kardashian, about the struggles of being a working mom. "Kourtney, I take back all the times I've made fun of you," Khloé said.

She and Thompson welcomed their first child together on April 16, just days after reports of him cheating on Kardashian while she was pregnant.
Since news of the cheating scandal broke, Kardashian has chosen to stay together with the NBA star.
"Tristan is spending time with her family," a KUWTK source told PEOPLE, adding that the KarJenners "have jokingly been giving him a bit of a hard time. Like, 'we are watching you!' "
Adding, "But otherwise, everyone is being respectful and focusing on catching up with Khloé. She is so happy being a mom. Everyone just wants her to stay in this happy bubble for as long as possible."

LandlordStation.com believes that knowing Indiana landlord tenant law, and especially Indiana renters rights, as a landlord in this state is not only essential – it can make you a better landlord. When you know all aspects of Indiana rental laws, and not just the points that cover your rights and responsibilities as a landlord, you are empowered to proactively spot and manage issues before they become major legal problems.
This bit of knowledge and effort on your part in advance could save you plenty of time, money, and effort in the future. What follows is a general overview of Indiana rental laws and should not be construed as legal advice, for which you should consult an experienced, licensed attorney.
Indiana landlord tenant law spans nine chapters of statues under Title 32, Article 31 of the Indiana state code. This law is the handbook of any current or prospective Indiana landlord and covers various items including recording leases that exceed three years in length, security deposits, the rights of tenants who are crime victims of certain acts, Indiana renters rights and responsibilities, and Indiana landlord rights and responsibilities.
As an Indiana landlord, your responsibilities to your tenant are directly intertwined with your lessee's Indiana tenant rights. When it comes to renters rights, Indiana law states that your tenant has many rights, including the following:
•Safe, clean, and habitable premises
Landlord compliance with all building and health codes
Structural safety maintenance and weatherproofing of building
Clean unit with working toilets, furnaces, and windows
Unit must have locks on every outside door or door to common area
•Maintenance and upkeep of unit
Landlord must provide heat, water, and appliances
Landlords must also provide sanitary, plumbing, and electrical systems
Tenant has right to adequate amount of heat and reasonable amount of hot water
•Access to property
Landlord may not deny tenant access to his or her rental property except through court order
This includes denying access through changing locks, barring windows, or removing doors
•Continuous utilities
Includes electricity, gas, and water
Landlord may only interrupt these services with court order
Landlord must give advanced notice before entering rental unit
Only exception is emergencies like fire, loss of heat, or flooding
•Maintained common areas
Indiana landlord must maintain common areas shared by all tenants on the rental premises
Could include fences, parking lots, landscaping, and recreational areas like swimming pools and playgrounds
Tenant must have security deposit returned within 45 days of agreement termination if rental property is properly vacated in good order
Landlord may not deduct tenant's security deposit to pay for normal wear and tear costs
•Fair housing
There may not be discrimination based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, or disabilities in the sale, rental, financing of dwellings, or other housing-related transactions
•Legal action
Tenant may have right to put money towards repairs and deduct that cost from rent in specific situations
Tenant may terminate a lease agreement in case of a rental premises becoming uninhabitable
Financial damages incurred by negligence of landlord may be pursued in small claims court
Tenant may change locks
Tenant may terminate rental agreement with 30 days' notice
Landlord may not retaliate against a tenant who is a crime victim
In addition to these rights, your tenant also has responsibilities under the landlord-tenant law which are directly intertwined with your rights as landlord. These responsibilities generally have to do with respect for and reasonable use of the rental property, and include things like keeping the rental premises reasonably clean, using all systems (plumbing, electrical, heating, A/C, etc.) in a reasonable manner, and monitoring the functionality of each smoke detector in the unit.
As you can see, renters' rights and responsibilities in Indiana have a lot to do with the same concepts that govern your rights and responsibilities as landlord. Under the Indiana landlord tenant law the similarities are rental premises upkeep and who has a right to the premises when. Thus, knowing Indiana renter's rights and the responsibilities of your tenant, in addition to your own, can make you a better landlord by allowing you to spot and troubleshoot potential issues in advance. Doing so could greatly reduce your risk of facing serious landlord-tenant conflict.
Remember, Landlord Station is not qualified to present actual legal advice and what has been detailed here is merely a general overview. For legal advice concerning your rental agreements and issues under Indiana rental laws, consult a licensed and experienced legal professional.

ESPN: Revenge factor? Not for Clemson
|2012-11-14 15:05:37.0-
From ESPN:
Where Clemson has been more consistent than ever, that is not the case for the Wolfpack. This is a group that got torched by a Tennessee team winless in SEC play; then took down then-No. 3 Florida State; then lost badly to a Virginia team in the midst of a six-game losing streak.
The Wolfpack are certainly capable of winning this game, the way they did a season ago.
"I don't think that this team will be intimidated or afraid to let everything go in this football game," coach Tom O'Brien said. "We're in a situation [where] we've got a lot to play for, and you always want to be challenged. If Clemson's the best or near the best in the conference, let's go see what we can do."
