That district, according to the Cook Partisan Voting Index, is only scoring a D+3, so Joaquin Castro could be in trouble.Although Philadelphia is a Democratic stronghold, there are three suburbs nearby where GOP incumbents may be replaced by Democratic opponents: the Sixth and Eighth, which are both R+1, and the Seventh which is a tossup.Oklahoma’s Second District is one of the five Promise Zones, and it includes the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.

Its like the novice line cook who is wondering if Culinary school is for them. 1/2 the people say "you HAVE to go to make it" while the other half say "don't waste your money on something you can learn in the field."

I've looked on the Cook County site, I've tried looking up Sheriffs auctions and I just can't seem to get any other info.

The prior owners in my rental property must have been smokers.

new tenant.every time she cooks the alarms go off.first floor alarm is in living room, not kitchenshe says there's no smokecould it be sensing something electrical like a surge from the stovei am frankly confused.

But after reading another post on here about smells emanating from the crawl space.I am wondering now is it more than just smokers smell.It doesent smell like moisture. but I can now tell it is coming from an area between the kitchen and the living room there is a boiler there with a leak. the catch pan is full so most likely the boiler was leaking into the crawl space.as the catch pan over flows.However when I open the door to where the boiler is there is absolutely no smell in there.

I also like to cook and try new things in the kitchen.

I know enough about real estate to be dangerous...I have several professional contacts and the Steve Cook wholesaling course, so at least I have a place to start.
