Home security is a common topic at our monthly Homeowners’ Association meetings. Our neighborhood has cameras in several areas but the first steps should start at home! In addition to having Home Alarm Systems, home owners can and should take several commonsense steps to protect themselves and their families. Always lock your doors, even when you are at home. It may seem like an inconvenience to have to unlock the door whenever you go in and out but home invasions are on the rise. How frightening to have someone walk into your house while you are there! Also, don’t open the doors for strangers. Our neighborhood has a “No Solicitation” policy so there is no reason for anyone I don’t know to be at my door. If you live in a neighborhood that does not have a “No Solicitation” policy, talk to your HOA members. Signs for posting throughout the neighborhood are inexpensive and can help keep unwanted solicitors from your doorstep. Having a “No Solicitation” policy allows you to call police whenever you do see strangers approaching your home.

Sloppily Successful: Alabama 24 Mississippi State 7
Alabama running back Trent Richardson said a win is the only medicine that can heal a loss. If that is truly the case, the No. 3 team in the country received a fine elixir in Starkville on Saturday night.
Courtesy of Richardson’s 127 yards, one touchdown, and an Alabama defense that refused to be nothing less than the best, the Crimson Tide defeated the Bulldogs of Mississippi State by the score of 24-7.
It goes without saying Alabama looked and played “hung-over” after the heartbreaking defeat at the hands of LSU, but the Tide managed to put enough pieces in order to take control of the second half and defeat a lackluster MSU team.
While the Alabama aerial attack and field goal productivity continue to be problem areas, the ground game and stalwart defense continue to be more than proficient.
In a contest that was reminiscent of yesteryear, the defense held down the fortress until the offense arrived to meet the challenge.
Alabama was “sloppily successful” against the Bulldogs, but at the end of the day it doesn’t matter how the healing elixir goes down…just as long as it does.
