Everything is designed with function in mind but the resulting form is equally compelling – the rows of wine face you as you wind your way down the central stair. Of course, you can store more than wine down in these as well – they are a great and continuously cooled pantry extension for all kinds of beverages.

‘Class Tank’ is Low for UT’s Coach
Point of Sale is Choking South Carolina
The POS “Point of Sale” policy that was voted on in 2006 has not only affected real estate sales, but our schools as well.
Here’s the rub; When we voted for the property tax relief provision, we were largely voting for a tax break on our primary homes. Great! The plan was to replace this with a larger tax on secondary homes, investment and commercial property. To help even more, we inched up the sales tax on goods sold. Sounds wonderful!
Here’s the problem. Taxes on investment property has absolutely skyrocketed. Commerce has all but halted in the commercial real estate industry and out of state investors are taking their money elsewhere. That’s only one side of the story.
The other problem is that even though the sales tax on goods was increased to compensate for the property tax reduction …No One is Buying Anything!
I have to admit I thought it was a great swap. Actually, almost all of us thought that it was a great idea for us to lower our four digit property tax as we “financed” it via purchasing a computer, tennis balls or whatever you can think of.
The logic runs far deeper than I can type about in this post. All I know is that something has to be done and soon.
Out of state investors are tearing up their sales contracts, rental properties are now “upside down” every month and some schools can’t even afford substitute teachers. The entire new system has created at plethora of problems.
I don’t have the perfect answer, but something has to happen…quickly.

Gamecocks Clinch 1st Round Bye
USC Basketball Benefits From Kentucky Loss
I got an update from someone that USC officially locked up a “Bye” for the first round of the SEC tournament. Since I knew Carolina didn’t play tonight, I had to do some digging.
Good luck to the Gamecocks tomorrow night against Tennessee. A bye in the tournament is great and all but an SEC Championship would be over the top, especially since this is Coach Horne’s freshman year. How impressive is that!?
