HOLBROOK MOHR, Associated Press
Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — The man who pleaded guilty to making online threats to attack a north Mississippi high school had researched how to make bombs, the 1999 Columbine High School shooting and serial killers, according to recently unsealed court records.
Joshua Brandon Pillault, 20, pleaded guilty on June 20 to making threats against Oxford High School in a chat room for an online medieval fantasy and role-playing strategy game called "Runescape." Another player reported the threats in October 2012.
A transcript of the online conversation was among the documents unsealed this week by U.S. District Judge Michael P. Mills.
"I can't wait to blow brains out of skulls," Pillault said, according to the chat log, using the account name "Paul Gilbert" and the login name "Merlan 91."
The chat logs said the attack would be carried out with guns, molotov cocktails and pipe bombs on April 20, 2013, which the online posts described as "national weed day," Adolf Hitler's birthday and the Columbine shooting anniversary.
The 1999 shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., were carried out by two students and left 13 people dead. Pillault also tried to download a game named Super Columbine Massacre RPG, a role playing game that allows players to recreate the Columbine attack.
Pillault's lawyer, Roy Percy, said in court records Pillault made the comments, but described them as "idle or careless talk, exaggeration or something said in a joking manner."
Percy had no comment on the case when contacted Thursday.
The judge recently ordered an evaluation to determine if Pillault needs mental health care and what options are available. The report is to be submitted to the court before sentencing, which has not yet been scheduled.
An FBI interview with Pillault, also unsealed this week, said Pillault dropped out of Oxford High School in October 2011 because of a drinking problem and he had also told an ex-girlfriend he wanted to attack the school.
Pillault "has always been interested in serial killers like John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer," according to the FBI interview on Oct. 10.
Pillault told the FBI agent he didn't remember making the online threats because he was drunk, though he "admitted that he probably wrote the threatening statements," according to the document.
In court filings before Pillault pleaded guilty, Pillault's lawyer had wanted to prohibit prosecutors from using evidence about his interest in the Columbine shooting, serial killers and research on making bombs.
Prosecutors responded at the time by arguing Pillault's lawyer was trying to exclude "the very evidence that would show that he in fact did fully intend to carry out the threat and was making preparations to do so."
The judge wrote he had decided to seal the documents "based primarily upon concerns that potential jurors might be prejudiced by media coverage of the case."
"That concern is no longer relevant, inasmuch as defendant has entered a guilty plea," Mills wrote in Monday's order.

I was asked to complete a virtual teller simulation to evaluate my cash handling and record keeping ability. I'm not sure exactly what kind of standards they're after (since the position has been open for months), but I don't think the simulator is a fair evaluation of an applicants ability.

NAGS HEAD — A state transportation official says the discovery of two old deeds will help North Carolina save $300 million when it replaces the bridge across Oregon Inlet on the Outer Banks.
The discovery of the deeds will allow the state Department of Transportation to save the money while replacing the Herbert C. Bonner Bridge by not requiring a certain route. The existing 2 1/2 -mile-long bridge was built in 1963.
The deeds were found in the archives at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk reported Monday. The documents from 1953 and 1958 give the state right of way at any time through a wildlife refuge on Hatteras Island at the southern end of the bridge.
Jim Trogdon, the DOT's chief operating officer, said the documents will let planners build a route that doesn't follow the current right of way.
Right-of-way issues have been a major impediment to the construction. Now the department won't have to stay within an established corridor through Pea Island National Wildlife Refuge and can follow a preferred alternative route.
Flexibility pays off
"Those deeds gave us the right of way any time in the future for transportation in perpetuity," Trogdon said. "That changed the interpretation that we were forced to stay in the original right of way, which is the principle that we've been operating under since 2005-06."
Trogdon said the state is abandoning the phased approach: building a bridge over the inlet, then building smaller bridges along N.C. Highway 12 through the refuge. The state now prefers to build a bridge parallel to the existing bridge over the inlet and build another bridge from the southern part of the refuge to the north end of the village of Rodanthe.
Trogdon said the deeds were discovered after federal highway officials asked to see them before signing off on the phased approach.
Costs for the phased approach were estimated at $1.1 billion to $1.4 billion. The preferred alternative is expected to cost $300 million less.
Planning for a replacement bridge began in 1990, but was stalled for years before being revived in 1999. Then progress halted when an engineer said the plan called for anchoring the bridge to eroding shoreline.
DOT planners came up with a proposal for a 17.5-mile bridge that bypassed the refuge, but local officials objected to the cost and the lack of access to the refuge. After that, DOT planned the phased approach that follows the original right of way.

There are hundreds of sites for learning real estate but mine is going to be complete real estate investing for beginners.
But where to start? There's so much information on real estate investing it's hard to determine. Well one thing we can do is start with the very basics. Real estate investing is about being without emotion. That's the real secret to investing in real estate. In fact this is the secret behind investing in general. A guide to real estate investing is exactly what I'm building. But I need some feedback. What are you looking for in a guide to real estate investing?
Learn real estate investing
The words Real Estate Investing may sound quite difficult at first hearing it. But no matter how complicated it may sound, real estate investing has many books and other references that we can rely on to learn all about it. But for the meantime, here are some useful information to know its fundamentals.
For a start, we define real estate as a property that consists of land and house or a building. To understand its basic concept, let us begin with the simplest form which is the Residential Real Estate.
Under Residential Real Estate is a legal agreement about the right to inhabit a residence which is known as the housing tenure. Tenancy, condominiums, public housing and owner occupancy are some types of housing tenure.
Tenancy – the time of occupancy
Public housing – housing project that is funded, owned, and administered by the government
Owner occupancy – also known as the home ownership
Condominiums – also called as condo, is a particular house unit owned by an individual within a building
Residences and home ownership vary when it comes to the continents of North America and Europe
Attached or the multi-unit house includes the following:
Apartment – the units are usually separated or divided by walls.
Townhouse – a well-designed house that is commonly located in cities and private subdivisions.
Portable houses
Mobile house – this include the trailers or anything that is movable on wheels
Houseboat – these are often called floating houses
Tents – a house that has a fabric-like walls and roofs
There are so much to know about Real Estate, but the important thing is once you had understand the most common type and concept of it, the other things about it will be much easier to comprehend.
As you can see real estate investing is not that hard.
More about real esate investing
There is more to learning real estate investing than meets the eye. When we talk about real estate investing we need to consider certain things that people have been slow to accept. First and foremost, I need you to understand that this is 100% a business. I created this blog as a guide to real estate investing and as such I was hoping that people would understand the importance of regarding real estate and investing as real estate as a proper business.
When you start your first business what is your initial down payment? You will spent several hundred thousand dollars to several million depending on what kind of business you are starting and what you are doing with your business. The funny thing is that the majority of people who will end up reading great information will do absolutely nothing with it. This greatly dissapoints me since this real estate investing blog is here to help people. Let us be your real estate investing guide and you won't be dissapointed!
Learning real estate investing
This post is a starter post for the real esteate investing guide that I'm hoping this website will become. Learning about real estate investing is tricky business, so I'm hoping that I get some input from readers (or more like potential readers) to see what it is you all want to know about real estate investing.
In my first real estate investment guide I gave you all a great tip that I was able to find on youtube. I could give you more links like the wikipedia real estate article but the question that brings up is–should you be learning original real estate investment material or should I just use this as a resource to show people other great sources of real estate investing information?
Learning about real estate investing is tricky, so I want to make sure you all have a say in what goes on here. Be sure to contact us if you want to submit your real estate investing questions!
Real estate investing guide
Hello and welcome to my guide to real estate investing! I've created this site because in my experience many people want to learn how to get involved in and start working with properties but they lack a real estate investing guide. This blog is created with you, the reader in mind so I'll be helping to show you guys all about this and creating an easy to read real estate investing guide.
Here are the top questions people ask me when we start talking about real estate and investing: how can I find a good guide for real estate investing? They want to get into it, then know they can make some dough with it and they know its a good part of your portfolio if you plan to stop working anytime in the next decade.
Simply put, getting a good real estate investing guide will help you learn a lot about what you should do and shouldn't be done. This isn't the hardest thing in the world to do but it doesn't mean that you don't need some kind of guide to do real estate investing. I'm hoping that we can help people of all caliber learn real estate investing through this guide.
Here's a quick video that might give you some tips if you're not a complete newbie:
Just a quick tip but I wanted to start the guide out with some educational information about real estate investing. I didn't create it, someone else did but I'm hoping you can see the value in it and hopefully take something away that at the end of the day will help you grow and improve what you're doing. This real estate investing guide is all about learning and getting better.
I hope creating this real estate investing guide will teach some people about real estate investing and guide them in the right direction.

Alexisposted by T
There's something a bit messy but so perfect about Alexis. "Lonley Sea" sounds like Annie Lenox fronting Everything but the Girl but with an edge, perhaps channeling some of the same vibes Hurts was trying to channel early on minus the hype. It's hard to judge the "blow up potential" based on the one demo track, but Alexis has already earned the praise of Ssion, Jeppe and Hunx on MySpace so at the very least this project is well insulated. If late night tracks like this continue to be pumped out then no complaints:

Agriculture & Ranching
Your federal tax burden under current law and the FairTax
Ross Korves takes you, as a self-employed farmer or rancher, through the basics of calculating your federal income taxes and then does the same for the FairTax. Check out how the FairTax simplifies your taxes and see why we say that it makes April 15th just another spring day!
The FairTax benefits farmers and ranchers
Former American Farm Bureau Federation Senior Economist Ross Korves describes the unique problems of the agricultural industry under the income tax system and how the FairTax eliminates these disadvantages.
Higher commodity prices and federal taxes
Ross Korves writes, "While producers rejoice in having higher prices for their agricultural products,they also face sharply higher federal income taxes. The current federal income tax violates a basic measure of tax fairness in that taxpayers with variable incomes, like many farmers and ranchers, are impacted differently than taxpayers with similar average incomes that do not vary much year to year".
An Economic View of the FairTax Proposal
Ross Korves discusses the economic impact of the FairTax and specific issues of interest to farmers and ranchers.
Congressman discusses FairTax details, outlook
"Farm Bureau News" interviews Congressman John Linder (GA), the primary sponsor of the Fair Tax Act.
FairTax: Better for America?
Americans For Fair Taxation Chairman Leo E. Linbeck, Jr.'s article in "Texas Agriculture" shows why the FairTax is a better system for farmers and ranchers.
Land values and the federal tax system
Ross Korves looks at the treatment of land values under the income tax as compared with the FairTax.
The FairTax supports American Farm Bureau Tax policy, point by point
Line by line comparison of American Farm Bureau Federation policy with FairTax action
Address by Senator Saxby Chambliss to the American Farm Bureau Federation's Council of Presidents
Senate Agriculture Committee chairman says to Farm Bureau state presidents: "Support the FairTax!"
International competitiveness of U.S. agricultural products and the FairTax
The FairTax sets itself apart from other tax reform proposals by its positive impact on international trade and investment
Review of "The FairTax Book"
Ross Korves reviews The Fair Tax Book and finds that "It gives farmers and ranchers a better understanding of a tax proposal that would have major positive impacts on their businesses and the overall economy."

The mobile Web drives big business. Each mobile search represents hundreds of thousands of follow-up actions, and mounting evidence suggests that there is no better time to establish a mobile presence than the present. Mobile users are savvy consumers and have high expectations. Avoid pitfalls by becoming familiar with the terms, technology and territory.
Mobile is Big Business & It's Here to Stay
Research firm Morgan Stanley predicts that by 2014 more people will access the Internet through a mobile device than through desktop or laptop computers. Morgan Stanley isn't the only organization that's predicting this trend reversal. Market leaders Apple and Windows are investing more money in mobile computer development, and for Apple especially, the effort is paying off. The iPhone 5 enjoys over 17 million users across the European continent alone and the company boasts that it once sold over 3 million iPads in three days.
Consumers spend much of their time on mobile devices engaging in social media, a fact that isn't lost on the thousands of brands that advertise on social media networks. Roughly 86% of these brands use Facebook and Twitter while 59% use YouTube. Chasing the pack is Instagram at 14%, which is a Facebook property. Pinterest, at 37%, is a growing social network that specializes in organized image sharing via "pin boards." These pin boards are permanent image showcases that can feature URLs. The relatively low saturation of Pinterest and the high-engagement factor of images suggests that this network may be ripe for social media marketing campaigns going forward.
Choosing Your Mobile Presence
Before you can target mobile device users, however, you should decide how you will create your mobile presence. There are three general approaches: mobile Web, responsive design and the mobile app.
Mobile Web describes a site that is designed—or redesigned—to fit comfortably on a mobile device. Mobile websites are often simpler than their desktop counterparts, emphasizing simple navigation and bite-size pages. Responsive design is somewhere in the middle, with pages that adapt in size and complexity depending on whether the user is on a mobile device or desktop computer. These pages will change freely between landscape and portrait view. Finally, a mobile app lives on the mobile device itself and cannot be accessed from a Web browser.
Choosing the correct access point for your business is essential. Sometimes, as in the case of a brokerage firm, it makes sense to have a mobile app as the primary access point. This way, the company can encourage their potential clients to experiment with the charts, news feeds and other features that clients will have access to once they open an account. In this way, the app serves as an organic proxy for the actual trading station. It also provides the prospect with a taste of the service before they commit.
An online store, on the other hand, would likely benefit more from a mobile version of their established site than a dedicated mobile app. Of course, there is nothing stopping you from using all three approaches, but you may find the cost prohibitive if you're just getting started.
Tracking Mobile Usage Stats
Once you're up and running on the mobile Web and promoting yourself, you'll want to track your progress. Keep the following tips in mind as you delve in.
First off, traffic analytics on mobile devices plays out completely differently. Once-key statistics such as bounce and abandon rates are nowhere near as important. Data released by Google suggests that 55% of mobile conversions occur within an hour of an initial visit, so unlike on your primary website, where repeat exposure helps build trust and drives engagement, mobile pages either work after initial exposure, or they don't. Mobile searchers need what they need now—right now.
Google has also stated that 73% of mobile searches lead to "additional action," and more importantly, conversions. Mobile users are mobile shoppers. Your job isn't to sell to them, it's to make it easy for them to buy. Aside from a clean UI, you should optimize your video, shorten your URLs, and take advantage of the newest technologies, such as NFC, or near field communication.
There are several firms that you can engage to track your mobile analytics, and setup is no more complex in most cases than a standard analytics package. Leading the pack are Flurry, Localytics, and Apsalar, but new firms come along all the time.
Remember: give a lot, and ask for little. Don't make your visitors jump through multiple opt-ins. Mailing lists are valuable, but in the buy-it-now environment of the mobile Web, a simple, short pitch coupled with a call to action is even more valuable.

"Good people, terrible management - it's not worth it"
Pros – Good people willing to work hard
Cons – - Bait and switch - interviewed for one job, offered lower level job and was told I'd grow into the one I interviewed for and it never happened. I found out later that they have a reputation for doing this.
- Accounts are understaffed - not even to skeleton levels - and nobody from account directors on up don't care.
- Email Managers are expected to work until the job is done - even if that means 14-18 hours a day with no support from management and trying to find someone from web production who is willing to work late. The company only knows about work/life balance for senior managers and no one else.
- Management expects work to be shared with overseas teams where English isn't the first language and this causes more problems than it solves. When change finally comes, it is usually the exact opposite of what was asked for.
- Teams are often spread out, including managers, which makes completing work challenging due to different time zones.
- Employees are only trained to do their job and trying to gain other account-related knowledge is exceedingly difficult.
- Direct managers are apathetic at best and do nothing to support staff when issues are brought to their attention. Chain of command is unclear. Account managers have some responsibility, account directors have others and email managers are managed by someone else entirely. It's confusing to know who to go to with problems because managers don't necessarily know the account being worked on.
- Senior management has no experience in the positions, people and processes that they're managing.
- Salary increases don't happen unless you threaten to quit and annual reviews are a joke.
- Expect to pay a lot for terrible benefits - I'd say skip it and shop the healthcare marketplace - you'll most likely find something better and less expensive.
Advice to Senior Management – - Stop hiring people from outside of the company - promote from within! These are the people that understand how the work gets done and would streamline process much better and make Yesmail a better place to work.
- Invest in your employees and treat them better by offering better benefits at the very least.
- Stop pulling the bait and switch with job offers - your company is known for this in many circles.
- Stop forcing terrible programs to be used that don't connect to other aspects of the company. Too many different types of technology are being used to piece together the whole picture when there's better software out there that could replace several old pieces.
- Provide proper staffing levels for accounts and stop expecting people to work themselves to death. Provide them better salaries and performance-based raises. You have good people working there that strongly dislike their work environment.
- Create a work culture - there is no culture there - people just come in, work and go home. Any happy hours that happened were created individually. Not even a holiday party while I was there, but other offices had them.

"Good and Bad"
Pros – For the most part it's very flexible and decent work/life balance. And with a few exceptions, most of the people I work with are good people - not all, but most. The absolute only reason I stay is the flexibility.
Cons – Limited growth opportunities. Horrible benefits. No yearly reviews - which means no raises. Some people seem checked out and just going through the motions.
Advice to Senior Management – Get on board with normal corporate standards. I have never worked for a company who's CEO states in Town Hall meetings (on more than one occasion) that "We don't do reviews". If you think it's time for a raise, you have to beg your manager. That is ridiculous. If you want to keep people and reduce turnover - give us incentive to want to stay. Regular reviews. Standard pay increases. Decent 401k. This is a job, not a career.

"Good people, Poor Management"
Pros – Many great co-workers. Possible opportunities if you get lucky.
Cons – New Executive Team seems to be focused on saving money by replacing innovative teams with low cost skeleton teams. Any tech culture has now been replaced by old school time sheet mentality.
Advice to Senior Management – Communicate your plan to stay vital in the industry with your staff.
"Good people - management needs to take care of the workers"
Pros – good people, and technology - email industry is consolidating, you must have expertise in several areas. Data and big data technology could help their position.
Cons – willingness to change, look at new technology and marketing methods. Leverage the good resources you have (the people). Yesmail has had several re-org's in the past but i'm not sure if just changing management is the answer.

"A hectic, unorganized approach to doing business with no real mindset for long term thinking."
Pros – Some really good people to work with that really want to see the company succeed and are willing to put in the time to see it happen.
Cons – Senior management appears to not have a clue and make decisions that negatively affect day to day work life.
Advice to Senior Management – Get your heads out of your rear ends and listen to your line level managers and employees.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
"It's a paycheck."
Pros – Location (for Portland employees).
Coworkers are generally good to work.
Ability to work with a handful of notable clients.
Casual-dress work environment.
If you stay 3 years, you'll be senior and have a remote chance of promotion.
Cons – Executive leadership lacks clear direction.
Annual Reviews only upon request and not guaranteed.
No bonuses for the past 4 years.
Good employees are continually leaving.
Low pay - don't go in expecting to advance or get a compensation increase later.
Advice to Senior Management – Care about your employees or at least make them feel like they're given anything but a paycheck. Provide incentives and a reason to feel good about working here. Actions speak louder than words. REALISTICALLY decide what you want to be as a company and position yourself accordingly.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

"Where bad programmers go to die."
Pros – Flexible hours, multiple company offices (NY, SF, PDX, London, etc). They'll overpay you. A lot.
Cons – Do you thrive in using legacy versions of obsolete software? Do you like being lied to during your interview? If so, you'll love working for Yesmail!
This is a place where best-practices are only something you hear about from your other programmer friends. This is a place where people laugh at you when they find out you've worked here and then they say "Wow, I hadn't heard that name in a long time. Didn't realize they were still around".
The projects worked on here are trivial at best. Their entire CSE team should be replaced by college interns; however, it would only benefit the interns as how to not develop software. Projects (if they can be called that) were never documented, scoped, and the requirements (never gathered) were only ever obtained after weeks of e-mail and phone-tag. Once you finally get a hold of what you need to do, it's already late and all the onus is on you.
On several occasions, managers would interview potential candidates (and be impressed) however only offer a lower position.
The only benefit is that they'll probably overpay you. But you'll need it to pay for the hilariously priced health insurance.
If you literally can not find a job anywhere else dust off that old JSP 1.0 book, read the intro chapter and you'll be good to go.
Advice to Senior Management – Replace your entire technology department. It's not 2001 anymore.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend – I'm not optimistic about the outlook for this company

Before the game Patrice Bergern said the team needed to play with desperation, so one would expect the team to come out flying like goddamn rockeys and peppering Lehner with shots, right? Nope. Team came out with sleeping bags, popcorn and a chickflick and packed it in for the first two periods. Awful.
Luckily for Boston Khudobin was dressed for the occasion and kept the team in the game until Danny Paille tied the game up. And then, of course, Seids slapped his first goal of the year home for the game winner. We're happy Boston found a way to win and get two points but damn was it a shitty performance again. It really feels like we've only seen Boston play at it's best twice this year. Not sure if this is a good thing that they're record is so impressive with lackluster performances or bad thing 'cause they just can't find a way to string several A+ games in a row. We'll find out come playoff time.
Raptor Jesus Rich Peverley was a healthy scratch last night. Nice to see Claude Julien finally put the boot to ass on some of these guys but when does Horton and Lucic get a healthy scratch? They've been just as awful as Peverley this season.
David Krejci also came back into the line-up last night to the relief of Bruins fans. He looked fantastic for a man on one leg. Horton and Looch, once again, disappeared.
Despite that Boston steals two points from the Sens.
More after the jump…
- David Krejci Rises
- Peverley sits; Spooner starts on third line. Good move. Gotta send a message to the guys not playing well somehow.
- Looch trying to put the net back on its pegs is his biggest contribution to the Bruins offense in a while.
- Paille is one of Boston's top scorers this month. Yikes. Nice work by Paille. Slows it down, fakes a pass and fires it home to tie it.
Lehner should've stopped that but we'll take it.
- Krejci's effort on one leg
DK46 on one leg > ML17 on two legs
— Victoria Welch (@vickievictoria) March 22, 2013
He picked up the team on his pegleg in that third period.
- Khudobin. Solid as he has been all season.
- Dennis Seidenberg with a bomb. Huge goal.
First goal in 30 games. Damn.
- People who think Tuukka Rask isn't a top NHL goaltender.
- The first period being a snorefest.. ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
- Senators were able to walk through the Bruins blueline way too easily in the first. Like a stroll through the park.
- First period was 70%-30% Ottawa. Second period was like 60-40, Sens.
- Spooner-Pandolfo-Caron was pretty horendous out there… aka, what we've come to expect from the third line this season
- Daugavins with a fucking snipe.
No surprise Sens score first. They control most of the tempo. Those dog jokes in the 2nd intermission were just awful.
- Usher is Ottawa's goal song. Feel shame, Senators fans.
- Three Senators going after Krejci late after a whistle, including Chris Neil.
- Will we ever see the Bruins A-game?
- Who's going to PAXEast with Justin this weekend?
- Who else misses Michael Ryder?
- Remember when this guy was the "problem" with the Third Line?

Update: 4:39 p.m.
The 60-year-old woman struck by an SUV on Northeast 20th Street Wednesday morning was listed in critical condition in the intensive care unit, according to the Bellevue Police department.
Original story:
A Bellevue pedestrian was taken to Overlake Hospital Medical Center after being struck by an SUV early Wednesday, and the driver was arrested, according to .
The pedestrian, a 60-year-old Bellevue resident, was on her way to work when she crossed Northeast 20th Street in the middle of the 15200 block around 7:20 a.m. and an eastbound Ford SUV struck her, according to Bellevue Police spokeswoman Officer Carla Iafrate.
The car didn't appear to slow down before striking the woman, who was not crossing the street in a crosswalk, Iafrate said.
The 28-year-old driver of the car, also from Bellevue, was under the influence when Bellevue police officers talked to him, according to officers, and the driver was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence and vehicular assault, Iafrate said.
The road was bocked for several hours for the investigation, Iafrate said. The woman suffered significant injuries from the collision, but her condition as of Wednesday afternoon was unavailable, she said.

You knew it was coming. First-generation hip-hop groups are now touring the county fair circuit, as demonstrated by the news that the Sugar Hill Gang is coming to the Tennessee Valley Fair in September, alongside Rick Springfield and Molly Hatchet. Whether it's more evidence of hip-hop's long-established place in mainstream pop culture, indication of the form's maturity, or a sign of the apocalypse is up to you.
The Sugar Hill Gang had the first Top 40 rap hit with "Rapper's Delight" in 1979.

Women's Basketball Cruises Past Lyndon State
February 5, 2013
Middlebury forced 27 turnovers by Lyndon State as the Panthers cruised to a 75-47 win over the Hornets (5-15) in Pepin Gym. Middlebury (12-10) scored 23 points off those turnovers and used crisp passing to amass 25 assists in the game, two shy of the school record. The Panthers return to NESCAC play this weekend when they host Trinity on Friday and Amherst on Saturday.
Trailing 7-3, Middlebury went on a 14-2 run behind a pair of threes from Kristina Conroy to hold a 17-9 lead with 10:33 left in the first half. The Panthers then scored 18 of 22 points beginning at the 6:29 mark to take a 41-22 advantage with 1:32 remaining in the half. A lay-up by Lyndon's Aimee Thompson with a minute to go made it a 41-25 game at the intermission.
Middlebury scored the first 10 points of the second session, five of them coming from Scarlett Kirk, to take a 51-25 lead just 2:33 into the half. The lead ballooned to 31 on a bucket from Jesse Miller at the 5:02 mark, as the Panthers cruised to the 75-47 victory.
Kirk led all scorers with 19 points in the game, while Tracy Borsinger added 14. Katie Pett nearly had a triple-double with 11 points, 10 boards and eight steals, while Miller grabbed a dozen rebounds. Laura Lowry finished with eight points and six assists.
Emily Gray paced Lyndon with 13 points, while grabbing eight rebounds. Dannika Dobrowski scored eight, while Donna Lawson had a team-high seven boards.

Mediterranean ParadiseBoth Pat and Genevieve decide to bring the fun, warm, fantasy feeling of a Sam Robin design into the space. By using vivid color, rich carved woods and exotic accents, Genevieve transforms this mundane bedroom into a Mediterranean paradise, and Pat is whisked away on a vacation in her own home.
Once the room is emptied, the walls are brightened with white ragged on over the existing cream color. Next, the window and door trim are painted a vivid blue, and the first wall seen upon entering is covered in a treatment similar to the Florida home. The same paint, a damp rag and some glaze are used to create the soft blue wall treatment.
One of the elements that gives the Sam Robins-designed living room such interest is the contrast between the bright blue walls and the white slipcovered furniture. A red loveseat that's perfect for the bedroom is transformed with a readymade cream slipcover. A red Moroccan end table, beautiful mosaic coffee table, dark wood campaign chair, pictures of desert scenes and a large potted plant complete the stylish seating area.
Moroccan lanterns with colored glass hang by the French doors because Robin loves the flattering light from lanterns and candles.

Wine And Beer
When you compare the raw ingredients that go into wine and beer, you'll find that wine, on one hand, is made purely from grapes, water and yeast. Grapes are a fine source of sugars, fiber and chromium, but few of those things survive the fermentation and filtering process. Yeast has loads of complex B vitamins, but again, they do not appear in the final product due to filtering.
Beer, on the other hand, is made from grains, water and yeast. Grains commonly used are barley and wheat (with cheaper, mass-produced beers relying on corn and rice), both of which are loaded with a variety of vitamins that survive the fermentation and filtering process. And the vitamin value of the yeast is conserved in the hundreds of unfiltered beers that are on the market -- both on tap and in bottles.
Considering beer was first used as a homeopathic remedy back in the good old days of the Egyptian Pharaohs thousands of years ago, things haven't changed much. The only problem nowadays is the sad fact that several irresponsible people drink more than they should, and sobriety becomes a discarded word. Although I have listed the many good things about beer, there are also several negative aspects that I am obliged to caution you about: liver disease, obesity and alcoholism. Of course, these adverse reactions would not occur if beer were drunk in moderation. I, for one, am going to have a beer and think that over.
Wine is produced by the fermentation of fruit, typically grapes though a number of other fruits are also quite popular - such as plum, elderberry and blackcurrant. Non-grape wines are called fruit wine or country wine. Other products made from starch based materials, such as barley wine, rice wine, and sake, from other fermentable material such as honey (mead), or that are distilled, such as brandy, are not wines. Wine grapes mostly grow between the 30th and the 50th degree of latitude, in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Grapes will sometimes grow beyond this range and minor amounts of wine are made in some very unexpected places (such as tropical Zimbabwe) but these are abberations.
Sherry is a fortified wine, made in Spain from three types of grapes: Palomino, Pedro Ximķnez, and Muscat (Moscatel). Sherry-style wines made in other countries often use other grape varieties. Sherry differs from other wines because of how it is treated after fermentation. It is first fortified with brandy and then if destined to be fino style a yeast called flor is allowed to grow on top. Oloroso style is fortified to a strength where the flor cannot grow. (In contrast, port wine is fortified to a higher percentage of alcohol than sherry, effectively preventing the growth of any yeast.)
When a six-pack of Bud Ice won't cut it, you need to bring wine, but how can you tell the good grape from the bad? There's so many wines to choose from and the last time you had anything opened with a cork was when you accidentally took communion. But don't worry. We've broken down tons of different wines so you'll know what to bring to any occasion. Hangovers sold separately. Class up your next party with stuff that doesn't come in cans. But don't go crazywe still love those SPAM-and-jelly sandwiches.
When most people not named Pierre, Yves, or Frenchie walk into their local liquor store and peruse the wines, they don't know a bargain Burgundy from a budget Bordeaux. Until you get up into the fifty-dollar-a-bottle range, a wines vintage year just complicates matters. To choose a good wine, all you need to know is the grape.
Initially wine was distilled as a preservation method and as a way to make the wine easier for merchants to transport. It was also thought that wine was originally distilled to lessen the tax which was assessed by volume. The intent was to add the water removed by distillation back to the brandy shortly before consumption. It was discovered that after having been stored in wooden casks, the resulting product had improved over the original wine. There are three primary types of brandy. Grape brandy is the type that is meant if brandy is used by itself.
Grape brandies are arguably best drunk in a tulip shaped glass or a snifter, at cool room temperature. Often it is slightly warmed, by holding the glass in the cup of the palm or gently heating with a candle. However, heating it causes alcohol vapor to become very pungent so that the aromas are overpowered. Brandy, like whisky and red wine, exhibits more pleasant aromas and flavors at a lower temperature, e.g., 16 degrees Celsius (61 degrees Fahrenheit). In most homes, this would imply that the brandy should in fact rather be cooled for maximum enjoyment. Furthermore, alcohol (which makes up 40% of a typical brandy) becomes thin as it is heated, but more viscous when cooled leading to a fuller and smoother mouthfeel with less of a burning sensation. The European Union legally enforces Cognac as the exclusive name for brandy produced and distilled in the Cognac area of France, and Armagnac from the Gascony area of France, using traditional techniques.
The origins of brandy are unclear, and tied to the development of distillation. Concentrated alcoholic beverages were known in ancient Greece and Rome and may have a history going back to ancient Babylon. Brandy as it is known today first began to appear in the 12th century and became generally popular in the 14th century.
For many American consumers, wine was either "Burgundy" or "Chablis" before the renaissance that began in the 1960s. That is hard to credit today; and so, too, have we largely forgotten the fact that beer in the United States has also enjoyed a renaissance, perhaps even greater than that experienced by wine, and less commonly understood. "Pilsner," the first golden beer, conquered the world so thoroughly that 50 years ago "modern" beer was a standard pilsner type in a can, a convenience product along with the sliced white bread and processed cheese. That's all changed now.
The classic beer styles all originate from the northern part of central and Western Europe, but today those styles are brewed with skill around the world. All beers are brewed using a process based on a simple formula. Key to the process is malted grain, depending on the region traditionally barley, wheat or sometimes rye. Ale is the fastest growing beer category (thanks to thirsty swillers seeking hopped-up refreshment).
Pale Ale is amber-hued beer made from pale malts. It"-äós at once fruity and slightly bitter, like your college roommate who liked to watch you sleep. Crisp, honey-hued brews with fruity flavors, these beers balance their hops with roasted malt flavors. They are best for all-day BBQs. There's Sierra Nevada Pale Ale it's not trying too hard and Burning River Pale Ale (Great Lakes Brewing Company).
India Pale Ale (IPA) is a pale ale with significantly more hops. This style was created out of necessity: Brits added extra hops to help preserve the beer during overseas trips to India. Double IPA is an even more hoppedup IPA. Easy, people! IPAs have a bolder flavor than regular pale ales, with effusive hops aromatics. They're good for sipping and with spicy dishes. It is best for tempering that scorching Indian or Thai dish you just ordered. There's Lagunitas IPA it has a quality hops flavor, but not over the top and Dogfish Head 60 Minute IPA
Despite its color, Brown Ale is is one of the sweetest ales. Made from chocolate and/or caramel malts. Yum-O. If well-balanced, brown ales can go great with the summer heat. They possess some caramelized flavors that meld nicely with steak, lamb, and burgers. It is best for a meat-tastic blowout. There's Goose Island Nut Brown Ale which is nutty in a good way, not an 'attic twin' nutty and Newcastle Brown. Ale.
Farmhouse Ale (a.k.a. Saison) is a bubbly, straw-hued, medieval-born Belgian pale ale that"-äós sweet and low in alcohol. The original summer beer. The champagne of beers. (Sorry, Miller High Life.) They're golden-colored, dry, refreshing, and strong. They are best for washing down eggs benedict at a hangover-killing brunch. There's Duvel which is a delicious gulp of 8.5 percent alcohol, you can't feel your hands, but that's good and Saison Dupont.
Summer Ale was invented fairly recently by marketers, so flavors can vary. Still, most summer ales have a bold taste but are refreshing enough for all-day outdoor drinking. They are best for poolside party sessions. There's Samuel Adams Summer Ale it has a crisp flavor and light feel, it bites, but it hurts so good, and Goose Island Summertime Ale.
Belgian Wheat Ales are hazy, yeast-heavy ales that are easy on the palate. Skip the orange slice, as wheat ales are already lightly spiced with orange peel and coriander. They are best for a dinner of lobster, shrimp, and other tasty sea creatures. There's St. Bernardus Witbier and Ommegang Witte.
Imperial Stout uses dark, roasted malt. The flavor starts with coffee but finishes with tart blueberry. Pilsner is the world"-äós first golden beer, pils is made with pale malt and noble hops, which have all the hop aroma but less bitterness. Tripel is a golden brew which has three times as many pale malts as an average ale. It was born out of the monasteries of Belgium. Praise Jesus!
Hefeweizen (Wheat Beer), wheat beers are crisp, smooth, and slightly tart. Note: Don"-äót add an orange wedge. It makes you look like a girl, plus hints of citrus are already there. Dunkelweizen is Hefe"-äós darker cousin, this wheat beer has hints of banana and toffee. Dessert! Oktoberfest, also known as M├ā-żrzen, this red, sugary Bavarian beer is brewed with a mix of Vienna and Munich malts that give it a fruity nose and toffeelike flavor. And a hand job when it needs five bucks.
Sure, Portland, Oregon still produces great suds (Widmer, Hopworks)""and, yes, you P-town natives are so cool because you all can telemark ski""but the crown of Best Beer Town has been swiped from you guys and smuggled back east to the scrappy and beer-soaked City of Brotherly Love.
There are dozens of beer makers in and around Philadelphia that are crushing national and international taste-test contests like the Great American Beer Festival and Beer World Cup. Translation: Philly is producing big-flavored craft beers that are super drinkable. The notables: Victory, Iron Hill, Sly Fox, Stoudts, Nodding Head, and Triumph. Sit and spin, Portland!
This beer festival, Philly Beer Week, isn"-äót some piddly two-tent deal. The early-June drunkfest is a true citywide brew blowout featuring free home-brew classes and, of course, millions of homegrown kegs to the head. A source, some toothless guy at the Philly bus station, tells that the teachers"-äó union had the school year shortened so they could booze up at Beer Week. The Constitution was hatched while dudes in wigs knocked back beer in Philadelphia taverns. It was America"-äós first beer town. Ben Franklin said that, "Beer is living proof that God loves us and wants to see us happy."-Ø
The popularity of Genesee Cream Ale Rochester, NY, like pubic Afros, peaked in the "-äó70s. Even 24-hour brewing couldn"-äót keep it on shelves. Sales have since slowed, but it"-äós still a favorite in Philadelphia and at Buffalo, NY"-äós Anchor Bar, home of the original Buffalo wing.
In the "-äó60s, eight out of every 10 beers served in Rhode Island was a "-äóGansett. But in "-äó81, the one-time official beer of the Red Sox fell under Pabst"-äós control and was brewed limitedly out of Indiana. Today, Narragansett Providence, RI is back in the hands of Rhode Islanders.
Everyone knows about microbrews, and, with the exception of certain misconceptions involving raspberries, they're great. But not if you want to drink more than two, and certainly not if you're buying. For reasonable, dependable brews - especially if you're faced with the beer drinking responsibilities that accompany watching sports, playing poker, hanging out or doing almost anything else after 5 p.m. Mass-market beers are on-sale-everywhere, all unpretentious, all for regular guys.

There may be something to a whacky and insane conspiracy theory pushed by noted nut job Alex Jones, but of course, he is probably completely and totally off on it. There are chemicals found within plastics which mimic human sex hormones, but there isn't any conspiracy involving the government, and companies are busy getting rid of those chemicals.
Jones recently spearheaded the attempts to get Piers Morgan deported for speaking out against guns. Now clips of his insane theory have surfaced. He claimed that the government is "encouraging homosexuality with chemicals so that people don't have children."
After showing a clip that some might find erotic in its undertones as a straw pierces the plastic membrane of an orange juice container, Jones concludes that "After [little boys] are done drinking your juices, [they're] ready to go out and have a baby… [they're] ready to put together a garden of roses… [they're] ready to go put lipstick on…"
He also talks about how atrazine, a chemical used in weed killers, can turn male frogs into female frogs. Of course, if this chemical actually worked on humans, it would certainly change transsexuality forever.
Have you ever noticed men like Jones obsess about gay men? Odds on are that they don't mind lesbians. After all, lesbians are wonderful material to wank off to while imagining that they can get in there and convert them. Gay men creep guys like Jones out because, well…they're not men are they?

- Preheat an oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). Spread the walnuts onto a baking sheet, and toast until the nuts start to turn golden brown and become fragrant, about 30 minutes. Watch the nuts carefully as they bake, they burn quickly. Once toasted, set the nuts aside to cool to room temperature.
- Place the potatoes into a large pot, and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Rinse under cold water, and place in large bowl. Refrigerate until cold.
- Combine apples, onion, cheese, and walnuts with cooled potatoes. Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, basil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss to coat. Serve chilled.

I have gotten so many raves about this salad...even from people who don't even like potato salad! I found this amazing champagne vinegar at Trader Joes. It's called Orange Muscat champagne vinegar and I think the citrus in it adds to the amazing blend of flavors. I LOVED this recipe. And it's really easy to make! Thank you Christine!
This recipe is amazing... It's a light potato salad and the champagne vinegar with the gorgonzola and red onions are what really make this recipe wonderful! I wouldn't change a thing!
Very tasty, but very vinegary. Still, I love no-mayo potato salad. I don't know where you can find "champagne vinegar" or even really what it is. Just use less of a regular white wine vinegar.

On any Thursday night during football season you can find Dominique Cura suited up along the sideline of a Harlandale High School freshman football game. Tuesday night, however, still dressed in his Indians workout wear, Dominique stole part of the show at National Night Out (NNO) on the grounds of Harlandale Memorial Stadium.
As music bounced off the speakers, the 15-year-old jumped into action. He ran in front of the stage, lifted his arms in excitement, smiled and started dancing. The crowd that had gathered minutes before to listen to guest speakers, stood still, watched in surprise and then smiled right back.
"He's not shy. He loves events like this because it gives him another outlet," said Henry Cura, Dominique's dad.
Dominique is new to the district and although he is autistic, he is a part of an all-inclusive classroom where he receives special instruction. On October 1, he also got special attention. After about a minute dancing alone, Dominique's two younger sisters joined him and so did several other students.
"It's so nice to see how Harlandale has embraced him," his dad said.
On October 1, more than 1,500 community members from across the Harlandale ISD showed just how open they are too. Hundreds of them stood and watched student groups perform, including the new cheerleading squad from Morrill Elementary. It was one of their first public performances. Families also walked around collecting information and items from more than 25 agencies. Children played games and posed for pictures with Mickey & Minnie Mouse. Others won prizes, admired the hot rods on display and enjoyed free hot dogs and snow cones. The entire event was free and hosted by Southside United Against a Violent Environment (SUAVE) in partnership with the district.
NNO at Harlandale ISD occurs simultaneously with thousands of others around the country in an effort to promote community and prevent crime. It is an important initiative Mayor Julian Castro touted when he addressed the crowd and thanked everyone for their participation. District 3 City Councilwoman Rebecca Viagran, State Board of Education Representative Marisa Perez, School Board President Jesse "Jay" Alaniz and Member David Abundis as well as Superintendent Rey Madrigal were also on hand.

A special ceremony will be held Tuesday marking Alliance's takeover of the quirky Carhenge tourist attraction in the Nebraska Panhandle.
The local group overseeing the site, Friends of Carhenge, has given the site to the city. The group has been operating it since 1994.
The junk-car tribute to England's Stonehenge was built in 1987 by former Alliance resident Jim Reinders and several relatives as a memorial to his father. It sits on land the family once farmed two miles north of Alliance.
The city plans to revitalize and upgrade the property. The Friends of Carhenge still will be involved with the site.
