Today's Topics: DYN-O-MITE! Jimmie 'JJ' Walker, Fast & Furious Scandal, Economist Dr. Richard Ebeling, Kimberly Dvorak
From shocking new developments in the Fast & Furious scandal to a visit with Jimmie "JJ" Walker….we've got a lot of ground to cover.
President Obama is forever talking about "fairness" and people paying "their fair share" in taxes. A new study has been done and, oddly enough, Obama is right; there is a HUGE disparity in what the top 25% of earners pay in taxes. Jerry will have the details.
ALSO – It isn't just the Media and the Democrats who want us to forget about the Fast and Furious scandal – John Boehner would also like you to focus on "Tom-Kat" and today's show-vote on ObamaCare. From The Examiner (www.examiner.com) Kimberly Dvorak has some stunning new findings to share.
PLUS – How can arcane Austrian Economic policies work in "the real world" and how might they be able to help get the nation out of our current economic crisis? Renowned economist Dr. Richard Ebeling will join us.
AND – Jimmie "JJ" Walker will be on to talk about his new memoir; "DYN-O-MITE! Good Times, Bad Times…Our Times". Tune in at the bottom of the final hour to find out some of the world famous people who owe their start to Jimmie Walker.
Pay no attention to the vote on Capitol Hill – the BETTER show is here. It's the Hump-Day edition of The Jerry Doyle Show.

UFC Quick Quote: Jamie Varner could come back to the UFC and win a championship
Former WEC lightweight champ, Jamie Varner, has joined the AMA Fight Club in New Jersey, to train alongside Jim and Dan Miller, Charlie Brenneman, Rafaello Oliveira, Ricardo Romero, and Amanda Nunes. Head trainer Mike Constantino discussed Varner on the Savage Dog Show: "We basically came to the decision that it's in the best interest of Jamie to come here full time, and I'm willing to take on Jamie as a manager and a trainer. I think he's extremely talented. The kid's 26 years old, only, and you already know what he's accomplished. By having him full-time training with all my fighters and all our trainers here at AMA and doing everything right, I truly believe that not only could he be back in the UFC shortly, he could go straight to the top and win a championship."
Former WEC Lightweight Champion Jamie Varner has left Arizona Combat Sports and will make his new home training with AMA Fight Club in New Jersey, according to MMAWeekly.com. The AMA camp boasts a bevy of notable fighters, most notably surging 155-pound contender Jim Miller. Will this lead "The Worm" to a quick return to the UFC?

News: UPDATE: B.G. Catches Big Break In Federal Weapons Case
Friday, May 25, 2012 11:15AM
Former Cash Money Records rapper B.G. can exhale a little bit longer with new reports claiming his federal weapons sentencing date is now slated to take place next month.
Facing up to a decade behind bars, B.G.'s case is now delayed through mid-June.
The federal court sentencing of a local hip-hop star convicted on weapon and witness tampering charges has been postponed to next month. Christopher Dorsey, 31, of St. Rose, who raps under the moniker B.G., or Baby Gangsta, and was a member of the rap supergroup the Hot Boys, is facing roughly eight to 10 years in prison, according to sentencing recommendations made by probation officers. Prosecutors with U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office have sought a longer prison stint. (NOLA News)
Last December, B.G. opted out of a plea agreement in the case.
As he introduces the video for his song "I Ain't Tellin," hip-hop superstar B.G. sits in a luxury vehicle with a rapper colleague, bemoaning the state of street culture. "This f--king ratting s--t, man, this s--t here is getting out of hand," B.G. says. "Man, it's called T-Y-C. Take Your Charge." On Wednesday morning, B.G. -- also known as Christopher Dorsey -- did exactly that. Clad in an orange jail jumpsuit, his hands shackled and his lawyer by his side, Dorsey stood before U.S. District Court Judge Ginger Berrigan. Asked whether he was guilty of being a felon in possession of a firearm and witness tampering, Dorsey again answered in the affirmative. But prosecutors made clear there is no plea agreement or deal in place. Now, he faces a prison stint that could stretch 40 years. (NOLA)
He previously pled guilty to the gun charge and has remained behind bars through a sentencing date.
Christopher Dorsey, better known as local rapper BG, pleaded guilty Wednesday to gun charges. Dorsey admitted that on two occasions he possessed guns, despite being a three-time convicted felon. He also pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice for trying to get an associate to claim ownership of the guns. Dorsey will remain behind bars until his sentencing in March. (WWL TV)
In May 2011, reports claimed he faced up to ten years behind bars on the gun possession charge.
Christopher Dorsey, 30, who raps under the moniker B.G. or Baby Gangsta, was charged in a three-count indictment with being a felon in possession of a firearm and conspiracy to obstruct justice, according to a news release from U.S. Attorney Jim Letten's office. If found guilty, Dorsey faces up to 10 years in prison, according to Letten's office. (NOLA)

A Christiana man was arrested on Wednesday after it was discovered he stole money from his employer. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation discovered during an investigation that 50-year-old Jerry Alexander stole more than $1,000 from Alley Cassetty Brick and Block. Authorities said Alexander, who was employed as an operations manager, took the money directly from customers for his own use and voided business transactions. Alexander is also said to have sold the company's scrap metal and kept the money for personal use. Alexander was indicted on one count of theft over $1,000. He was booked into the Rutherford County jail and has since been released on a $10,000 bond.

|My Dear Sister
|Quincy Febry 12th 1796.
I last Evening received your kind Letter of the 6th and was most Sincerely rejoiced to find you able to write. I sent Cousin William to Boston yesterday; he was very anxious to find how you were, and I gave him leave to open your Letter, if he should find one for me in Town. I was very happy in his Company, and really feel his absence as a loss to me. he possesses a very inquisitive mind. I gave him a Set of his uncles Books, from which he may derive much information upon the Subject of Government, and learn to value that; under which as much Liberty is enjoied, as is consistint with freedom, and the happiness of Man. I gave him an invitation to pass the April vacancy with me, with your leave, as it is short, and he can walk into Boston take the Milton Stage, and from thence it is but a short way to Quincy I Should have been very Sorry if he had not like a dutifull Son gone Home, and spent a part of the Time with You. I had a good deal of conversation with him when he was here on a visit, before. he felt as most, affectionate Children do, who have lost a kind & tender parent. by experience I knew how to feel for him, and told him, Time would reconcile him to the Thought of seeing another in the Room of him whom he had lost, especially as there could be no objection to the person. He appeard on this visit much happier than when he was last here. he Spoke of mr Peabody with respect and regard, of Miss Peabody, as a young Lady of an improved, and cultivated mind. He went to Weymouth one day, and the Dr gave him money to pay his Bills. the Dr had mentiond to me that he had Some money which he wanted to send you, I know it was mr Adams's direction to the Dr. to continue to you an other Year the Same Sum with the last. I told cousin william at any time when he wanted mending or washing to Send his Things to Dr Welchs with a Line to me, and they Should be returnd to them the Same way. young people Love Society, and it naturel they Should. we old Folks who have Families find our enjoyment in them, and look not abroad for our principle happiness. I Love the company of Young people, and the Society (but do not you betray me) of the Gentlemen more than the Ladies. I have mixt more with them, and I find their conversation more to my taste. I Smiled at an observation of Louissas the other day, who tho a very little Talker is an observing hearer. We had been together on a visit to Boston for a fort night, and being one day in a large circle Several of whom were Young Ladies, I remarkd to her, that She was too reserved and unsocial
"I do not know how to talk. I have not heard any thing worth remembring; nothing but insipid trifling She replied". I have felt some thing of this kind formerly but I am now so loquatious, that I can be grave with the Grave and Gay, with the Gay.
"Indulge in tales, news politics and mirth", as suits the society into which I fall, Yet I shall feel ever gratefull to the kind hand who formd my early Years to a Love of Letters who inspired me with a taste for reading and put into my hands Books Suited to my capacity, and led me on step by step untill I was capable of judging for myself. at that period I became connected with a Lover of Literature, who confirmd my taste, and gave me every indulgence that Books could afford, from these two Characters, whom I am proud to call by the endearing names of Brother and Husband. I was taught at an early period of Life, that the [...] Female Character, consisted not in the Tincture of the Skin, or a fine Set of Features, in the lilly's white, or the Roses red, but in Something still beyond the exterior form.
With Goodness fraught, with animation warm,
To inspire our actions, dignify our mien
Gild every hour and beautify each Scene
Tis those perfections of Superiour kind
The moral Beauties which adorn the mind
Tis those enchanting Sounds mellifuous hung
In words of Truth and kindness on our Tongues
Tis delicacy gives those Charms new Worth
And calls the Loveliness of Beauty forth.
Tis the mild influence beaming from the Eye
"Like vernal sun beams round cerulean skies"
With minds embellish'd and with Hearts refin'd
Tis ours to act, in Still sequester'd life
The glorious parts of parent, Friend and wife,
To Soothe our partners, and divide their cares
Calm raging pain, delay the parting Breath,
"And light a smile on the wan cheek of death"
Thank the past for this emanation of Female excelence" When I put a Letter into the post office I always pay the postage, if it is not thus stampd
[. . . .]ere is kind very these, inform Your affectionate Sister

Astral Wondervest
4-star: 0
3-star: 0
2-star: 0
1-star: 0
A great compact vest for paddlesports. I bought this…
Source: bought it used
Price Paid: $35
A great compact vest for paddlesports.
- No zippers!
- Nice big pocket
- Adjustable fit
- Short torso
I bought this used on eBay on a hunch that I would like the design...and I really have taken to it. I never liked fiddling with zippers on a PFD and now I much prefer pulling this on over my head. Plus, there is no zipper to break or go bad!
The straps loosen and tighten very easily for a secure fit. Also, it is very short in the torso. It's made to fit a woman (who tend to have much shorter torsos, like myself) but anyone who paddles using a skirt will appreciate that this PFD doesn't push down on your skirt as much.
I like the simple, big pocket in the front. It also has a space for a water bladder in the back but I have not used this feature. Additionally, the front pocket has a space behind it that is advertised as a hand warmer. It hasn't come in useful in Florida yet but perhaps someday it will.
I was concerned that the fleece would get mildewy or not dry well, but so far this has not been a problem. It's possible to cut out the fleece lining if you don't like it I think.
It's too bad Astral stopped making this PFD since I think it's a really nice design. Perhaps you too can find one on eBay for cheap.

ROCHESTER, Minn. (KTTC) -- It's not quite the dog days of summer for the region, however for one Rochester woman, every day is. When you are out and about you may see a white and red bus full of dogs driving around town but it's all in a day's work.
"I tell everyone that I watch their dogs that they are not just their dogs anymore but they're a little bit mine too because I love them," said Sonja Irmen.
Sonja runs Sonja's Pet Services, picking up between 12 and 30 dogs a day in her school bus, taking the pups to Rochester's dog parks.
"Well I dreamt about it and a friend of mine mentioned 'you should get a bus'," Irmen said. After purchasing a small school bus from a used car salesman in Rochester Irmen was open for business. "I go to both dog parks. Equal opportunity to poop you know?"
Each day of work doesn't feel like work because the co-workers typically get along.
"Yea we all like each other pretty much," Irmen said.
With so many dogs to keep track of each day, Irmen said if she goes more than a couple days without seeing them, she starts to go through a "doggy-lapse."

There's some new artwork going up in Cedar Rapids and it's not somewhere you might think to look. The public art piece is being painted on the street at the intersection of 2nd Ave. and 3rd St. SE. It's the beginning of a new initiative to beautify several intersections downtown.
Painters did the work Saturday so that guests at the Downtown Farmers' Market could watch the process.
The design is in the shape of a drop of water.
"We think that's so appropriate of our history five years ago and the flood and obviously being so close to the river, that we think that's a very good way to start with a water drop with the interest and beauty that it can bring," said Marilee Fowler, Cedar Rapids Area & Convention Bureau.
This specific intersection was chosen because in can be seen from some of the city's skywalks and the new U.S. Cellular Center. More intersections are expected to be painted throughout the summer.

Mitt Romney is out of touch
by dannybauder, Mon Jul 30, 2007 at 04:40:56 PM EDT
H/T to the Chicago Tribune:
But Romney showed some unfamiliarity with the Internet when he discussed the problem of sexual predators and children.
"YouTube is a website that allows kids to network with one another and make friends and contact each other," Romney explained. "YouTube looked to see if they had any convicted sex offenders on their web site. They had 29,000."

When I first saw the trailer for the new short film by filmmaker Wendy James called Savage, the first thing that came to mind was "Oh No! Not another white savior helps poor black people movie!'"
In fact I told the producer, Jasmyne Pope, that I think that our readers (including myself) are pretty sick of these films, but I was informed that, this was not the intention of James' film at all, but actually the opposite. It is a film that sets out to criticize and challenge that tired, old film cliche.
As James says herself, her film "takes a critical look at the ''white savior complex'' which we all know is alive and well in American cinema. Think about movies such as Dangerous Minds, The Blind Side, even the film Avatar. In the film Savage, we observe Sara Maris, an idealistic young white teacher (in a Brooklyn Bed-Stuy high school) , as she tries to optimistically ''save'' her black student, James. However, in this film we seek to question: who really is in need of saving? James never asks to be ´´saved´´. Might the white heroine actually have some prejudices and desires that should be scrutinized? The story we aim to tell with this film is a complex one, and we hope to promote discussion amongst our audience about White Privilege."
She went even farther to say that Savage is intended to be "a challenging piece. It's about the way people perceive their world and their position in it. It's also about the way this perception causes us to create boundaries for ourselves in our society, most specifically through categories of racial and class "otherness". Sara's perception of her own authority, both real and imaginary, affects every move she makes. In Savage, salvation is a strong theme. We'd like to challenge the viewer's ideas of salvation and the "white saviour" trope. We highly agree with James Baldwin when he said, "salvation is a two-way street."
Well that's a relief, and I wish more films were made that set out to examine and take apart that worn out concept.
But frst, some backgorund on James herself (pictured below) who is an Afro-Latina, and who currently (and proudly) lives in the Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn neighborhood. A native of Los Angeles, she got her BFA in film at UCLA, and is currently working on her MFA in Film Directing at Columbia University. She's inspired by films made in the "neo-realist" style of post-war Italian directors such as Vittorio de Sica (Umberto D, The Bicycle Thief), Roberto Rossellini (Open City, Germany Year Zero), and the Mexican director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu (Babel, Amores Perros).
Currently there is an Indiegogo campiagn to raise $6,000 in 33 days to help pay for post-production and a few pick up shots. As James and her producer Pope say "as a couple of young black women making films, it hasn't been easy an easy road getting this film made, but we'll continue to strive to create meaningful and challenging work."
To contribite to their fundraising campaign go HERE.
Below is the trailer for the film.
Wendy J | December 31, 2012 3:56 PM
Hey S & A readers! I have only 1 day to finish raising funds for Savage! Please check the Indiegogo link here: http://igg.me/p/257651/x/97151 This film will both challenge and enthrall you! Peace & Love - Wendy
Micah | December 1, 2012 4:35 PM
I'm not knocking this film by any means, but I think the best way to combat the "White Savior" story lines is to make films where Black people save each other. I don't like to go down the road of demonizing people that might sincerely want to help. There enough white people that want to do the opposite. There are actually plenty of true stories of Black People helping Black People. I know stories like that are near impossible to get funding for. I just feel it's the best way to proceed in order to have more dynamic and uplifting black cinema. From the posts and comments we see on this site I feel there are many trying to bring these stories to the screen.
Carl | November 30, 2012 7:46 PM
I tell ya Sergio, you have a way of getting bitch ass negroes upset. They follow you from post to post like cubs to a bear. lol
Fred | November 30, 2012 1:09 PM
"In fact I told the producer, Jasmyne Pope, that I think that our readers (including myself) are pretty sick of these films" And yet Sergio, you are looking forward to Django Unchained. How about some consistency, man?
Silly Sergio | November 30, 2012 10:50 AM
That's why you don't make ignorant presumptions. :)
burp | November 30, 2012 10:45 AM
I love this idea a lot. I hope she gets the funding for this project. Thanks for posting SAN.

LAS VEGAS -- The Thursday graduation of a group of Las Vegas Fire and Rescue Academy recruits has been canceled after allegations of cheating surfaced, the city of Las Vegas confirmed.
A full investigation into possible cheating during a written exam has been launched, city spokesman David Riggleman said in an email Wednesday night.
"The city will refrain from further comment until the investigation is completed, except to say integrity is a core value of the city of Las Vegas and allegations of this nature are taken very seriously," Riggleman said.
The number of recruits in the class was not immediately available.

Ex-student held after threats made to Dutch school
The British School of the Netherlands has confirmed that one of its former students has been arrested in connection with threats to shoot pupils and teachers at a school in Holland.
All schools in the Dutch town of Leiden have been closed today, after Swiss police alerted their counterparts to threatening language being posted on online messaging boards.
The message read: "Tomorrow, I will shoot my Dutch teacher, and as many students as I can." The writer then explains they will be carrying a 9mm Colt Defender gun and a note "which will explain why I did it".
– Spokeswoman for the British School in the Netherlands
Following a security alert this morning in Leiden, we have been informed that a former student of the BSN has been arrested in connection to threats made against a Dutch school in Leiden.
This student was permanently excluded from the BSN in October 2011 after incidents regarding his behaviour and has therefore not attended the school for over a year.
We have been assured by the police that there was never a threat to The British School or to our students. The school was open as usual this morning and lessons continue as normal.

Examiner Editorial: Leave it to states to raise the minimum wage
"Since the last time this Congress raised the minimum wage," President Obama said during his State of the Union address, "19 states have chosen to bump theirs even higher. Tonight, let's declare that, in the wealthiest nation on Earth, no one who works full time should have to live in poverty — and raise the federal minimum wage to $9 an hour."
The only thing surprising about Obama's call for a higher minimum wage is that it took him so long to make it. The chairman of Obama's White House Council of Economic Advisers, Alan Krueger, is the co-author of a paper, legendary among liberals, purporting to show that minimum-wage increases had no effect on unemployment in two California and New Jersey counties. In fact, Krueger argued, government wage controls are great for businesses. They increase demand for goods and services, force business owners to rethink their business models, increase worker productivity, and decrease employee turnover. By his reckoning, it's a win-win-win.
Conservatives, of course, have a slightly different understanding of the issue. They believe there is no such thing as a free lunch and that a a higher minimum wage will cause businesses to reduce their labor costs by eliminating jobs.
As The Washington Examiner's Philip Klein noted Thursday, economists David Neumark and William Wascher not only performed an extensive literature review that confirmed this view, they even went back and obtained more detailed data from the counties Krueger had examined. They determined that he simply got his facts wrong. Unemployment did, in fact, go up when the minimum wage was raised.
Neumark and Wascher also found that the minimum wage is an ineffective weapon against inequality. Only 17 percent of minimum-wage earners come from poor families, whereas more than one-third come from families with incomes greater than three times the poverty level.
Even worse, those who tend to lose jobs because of the minimum wage are often the youngest and least-skilled workers who most need work experience to build future earning potential.
There is one other crucial consideration. The United States is a very large country with many different communities, each with its own values and lifestyles. It does not cost the same amount of money to live comfortably in Washington, D.C., as it does in, say, Oklahoma City. In fact, according to the Council for Community and Economic Research, it costs about 66 percent more to live in the nation's capital. Yet Oklahoma business owners will be expected to pay the same for unskilled labor as those in D.C. A federal minimum wage makes very little sense in principle, and it promises to do significantly more damage in states and regions with lower costs of living.
As Obama pointed out, 19 states already have minimum wages above the current federal minimum of $7.25. All states are free to raise their minimum wages as high as they like. And if the states that do so outperform the others, then the rest will follow suit. That is how our federal system works.

I hadn't been here since 2000 when it was called Calhoun's (yes, I have put in a request for the change). So, on our way down to beloved Asheville SierraGs and I decided to check out Cally's.
Located in the very pretty downtown square area of Harrisonburg Cally's certainly has a nice location. Inside it is a large sports bar meets name the cookie cutter, show us your flair, baby backed ribs, chain place...but with more wood and a touch of warmth.
Half dozen to eight brews on...all of which were decent if not good...the Irish stout and the Smokin' Scottish.
Our service was fairly standard with a pleasant enough waitress but the food service was blazing quick. I don't think we waited more than 10 minutes from order to eating.
Overall a worthy place if you find yourself visiting Harrisonburg due to business, a JMU visit or passing by on I-81. Certainly not a destination place but not somewhere to avoid either.

I've been to Cally's twice. Once was passing through the area and was a stop on a brewery trip with my homebrew club. Another time I was in town for a festival.
The first stop was the better of the visits. The restaurant isn't anything special as far as atmosphere, it feels like you're average pub, but with the brewing equipment exposed in the back of the bar.
There was 7 of us, we all sat at the bar and ordered food, flights and growlers. The beer was great, the food wasn't bad and the service was timely and accurate. I ordered the slider trio, which was good but didn't come with a side, was priced similarly to other items on the menu and seemed like less food overall. I was somewhat taken back having to order fries separately, but was my fault for making that presumption.
They have a nice selection of brews and they were all very good. I especially took note of the Kolsch and Smokin Scottish. Several of us purchased growlers, which looked cool and were fairly priced.
My 2nd, most recent experience was just myself stopping in for lunch because I enjoyed my first visit and I was in town as a volunteer for a festival. I had roughly an hour to report to the festival.
The restaurant was nearly empty except for a family or 2 and a few solo lunch patrons, I was seated outside and my waitress greeted me for my drink order. After getting my drink 10 or so minutes later, I made my order, a simple burger from the menu. Nothing special. About 20 minutes later I advised my waitress I had somewhere to be so if it was OK I'd take my meal to go. 18 minutes after that, I walked to the bar, paid for my drink and left the restaurant. I was absolutely appalled at this service. In roughly 48 minutes I saw my waitress 3 times, received 1 drink (no refills) and did not receive my food. Perhaps a single patron was not as important as a larger party downstairs? I'm unsure.
I had to knock down my rating from above avg for this unacceptable second experience. I would still visit Cally's again as I believe this was a one-off situation, the food wasn't bad and drinks are still worth visiting for.

Stopped in Cally's on the sae trip through the Valley along with 4 others in the local area. Cally's is located in the Courthouse sqaure so it's not hard to find. Building is a semi modern storefront with other Civic offices surrounding the pub. Had lunch and the Sampler (of coarse). Nice varried line of types. Liked the Scottish Ale and the Kolsch.
Food wise I had a burger and my wife had the Mac and Cheese. Burger was good, but the Mac & Cheese caught my wife off gaurd as it was spicer than anticipated. We spent several hours in Harrisonburg as the downtown has several attractions and James Madison University. Would recommend a stop if your riding along Rt 81 as it was for us.

Rather pedestrian feel to it. Seemed just another bar/restaurant atmosphere. Brewery itself behind the bar in a glassed in area. Service was very attentive. One of the servers at the wait station saw me come in and walked over to the bar since the bartender was elsewhere. I had a sampler of 4 of their 7 beers-was told I didnt have to have all 7 if I didnt want to-was still charged for the whole sampler. My bad I guess. Still service was attentive-even with the return of the bartender.
An ok selection of beers. Pretty standard-pale, Scottish, nut brown, golden, double bock, Irish red. All were ok-nothing took much of a chance in the way of flavors. After the sampler I had a pint of Scottish and a pint of the nut brown. Again, pretty standard tasting.
Only had appetizers-ginger/carrot soup was excellent. Baked mac and cheese was very rich and full flavored. Still, menu was interesting and looked very good.
Overall a decent experience. Beers could be kicked up a notch. Seemed a bit pricey for 2 pints, a sampler and appetizers for 30 bucks. I would get here if you are in town but would not bust a get to make it a destination.
Did notice the coffee shop next door had several top notch beers going-Star Hill IPA, Southern Tier and 3 or 4 others. Might need it's own listing!

I visited Cally's over Thanksgiving weekend, while out on the road in the stunningly beautiful Shenandoah Valley. After being on the relentlessly busy I-81 for what seemed like a miniature eternity, thirst was inevitable.
Had the beer-battered Fish & Chips and thought it was amazing.
The service was prompt, but I thought the bartender chick with the extremely fun-to-look-at, near-perfect rear-end, lacked personality.
Did a sample round of Porter (amazing, smoky goodness), Pale Ale and Kolsch. Although each one was great, it was the deliciously frothy Kolsch winning out heavily, one of the best gold-colored beers I've ever tasted. It was a dog-gone shame that I only had time for one pint.
I strongly rescommend Cally's and I will definitely return next time I'm in the valley.

As a JMU student, I definitely have a fondness for Cally's because it was their brewpub that first got me into craft beer on my 21st birthday. Food and service are excellent, but most importantly the beer is incredible! I really cannot remember trying a beer of theirs that I have not liked. If, for some reason, you want something different, they keep a good selection of bottles. They also switch up the taps a lot, so there's usually something on tap that I have not tried. I try to fill up my growler as often as possible, and I will really miss this place when I graduate.

Microbrews are generally very good--B to A-
Smokin Scottish, stout, and octoberfest are my favorite.
Don't forget to take your growler to take your favorite microwbrew home or buy a growler there and have it filled.
I Like to go drink their beer and watch football on several wide screen tvs, but generally go elsewhere to eat.
Certainly can get good food values especially during daily happy hours. Appetizers- especially the loaded nachos or the bruchetta are my favorite. I have eaten food from both their sandwich menu and main entree menu and find the food to be mediocre.
I have been going to this restaurant for the past 15 years and have often hoped their food quality could be comparable to that of their beer.

It's rare that I return from somewhere, anywhere..and feel possesed, determined to immediately review and put down the findings. And never before I have I been so confused, amused, and slightly disgusted from what I saw/ heard.
So walking into Cally's (Calhoun's) on a week day while school is out (JMU) I wasn't expecting much of a crowd. The were maybe 15 other normal patrons in the place to be generous. However, there were also 5 or so off duty employee's, in including the server next to me who removed his uniform (white collared shirt) and plopped down next to me at the bar.
What happened in the next twenty to thirty minutes was sheer comic bliss. And wildly innapropriate for a semi- upscale bar with a very "big chain" feel.
While the group of employees behind me made innapropriate comments to (and about) the emloyees still working, the off duty server next to me described in awesome detail a obsenity laced story or two. After which the bartender replied with matching fowl language. Infront of the other (and older, if that matters) bar patrons.
So to be clear, I'm a young guy. I loved listening to this ridiculous backdrop conversation. But if this was my establishment, no way would this fly. Had my parents been there, they would have walked out.
So quickly the food was good, seemed fresh, and relativly creative. Especially liked the mango/ cucumber salad.
The beers overall were not bad and the pale ale was damn good, if not great (btw fellas you may want to double check your IBU's on that one) also had a nitro stout which was a solid offering. All beer tastebuds will be covered by their offerings, which run the color spectrum from light to dark (all under 6.0 abv)
Anyhow this was a weird trip. Enjoyed the beer, liked the food, was shocked by the looseness of employee language. Still,I'd return and hope for more of the same. Hope that made sense.

Has a chain feel, as mentioned... Place is rather neat and tidy. 6 brews available... Only had 1
Service is reasonable and pretty straight forward. Friendly enough... Not a whole lot of communication back and forth but also not necessary
Nice low lighting in the evening.... A few TVs for the games, Food is pretty standard burger / sports bar type fare... Had the whisky chicken, which was pretty tasty... Ten bucks, which is fairly standard for VA places these days... A couple others are 8 or 9.

Alright, the name of the game here is happy hour. When I was there, happy hour pints were around $3 though I think they are closer to 4 now. Growler fills were $5 and all appetizers were half price.
I hold a great fondness for this place as I went to JMU and Cally's (Calhouns when I was there, the official story to follow) was my introduction to truly handcrafted beer. My summer ritual after senior year was to walk there for happy hour with a buddy and growler in hand. I would order a couple of pints and the calamari (still the best I have ever had, at about $3.50 during HH), and walk out of there with a bartab under 10 bucks before tip. Combined with a growler for 5 bucks, its just pretty darned hard to beat.
That being said, non-happy hour the beers are around 5 per and the food is definitely on the pricey side; thus: go during happy hour.
"The Official Story": Calhoun's was forced to change their name after a Tennessee brewpub accidentally received one of the Harrisonburg Calhouns's GABF awards. I guess their argument was that if the GABF could get the pubs mixed up, so too could the average consumer.

Harry Styles pulls wedding stunt
9:56am Thursday 12th June 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Harry Styles delighted a bride when he urged her to go off with him instead of her husband-to-be at her wedding.
The One Direction heartthrob delivered the jokey request in a surprise video, which was played on fan Tash Gershfield's big day.
Harry, wearing a dark jumper and wide-brimmed hat, says in the film: "Tash, you don't have go through with this. It's not too late."
Struggling to keep a straight face, he adds: "I'll be waiting at Orli's in Borehamwood for the next three hours. If you don't come I understand... but that's where I'll be."
After going through with her wedding, Tash posted the video on Instagram, writing: "A video from the one and only harry which was played at my wedding!!!!!!!"
Her husband wrote: "Thanks @harrystyles for doing this for my wedding. Thankfully @tashgershfieldx stayed to marry me," Mail Online reported
Tash was also given a signed guitar from the boyband and she shared a snap of the gift on her page.
The stunt came after One Direction delighted 53 seriously ill children at Wembley Arena.
The band, who are ambassadors for Rays of Sunshine Children's Charity, answered questions from the children before posing for pictures.

I often feel like the biggest living contradiction as I am a recovering perfectionist who has high expectations for herself and yet I lack discipline to actually get things done. I never used to be that way – I was one of those people who got all her work done and often over-delivered. The changes came when I became a stay at home mother almost nine years ago.
One of my biggest struggles has always been the lack of deadlines. No matter how much I tried to create them artificially – with to do lists, using timers, finding new routines that would stick – the bottom line still remained that I really could choose to do things or not. Often I chose "not".*
Sometimes that choice is socially acceptable – choosing to play with my kids instead of cleaning the toilets. What about when I choose to read a book or watch a movie** instead of taking care of the house?
Things always got done in the end so what did it matter?
After 8 years of being the master of my time, and knowing there was almost always "tomorrow", I have struggled since starting this blog. It is like an unused muscle that I am trying to flex and – ouch – it is so sore.
Now I feel a whole new set of expectations and a different kind of commitment. It has all been a learning experience and so much of the advice out there is "consistency is king" – if you are going to blog do it on set days or every day – just do it the same. It makes me feel similar to making parenting choices – start as you mean to go. If you do something casually (to you) once or twice with kids they take it as the new routine. By the third day they are looking for that same thing again even if there are no more ice blocks or you are not in the mood for that special 3pm story time you did twice so far. Be careful what you repeat as they are tuned into that like nothing else.
So with a blog if you do something a few times are you meant to keep delivering that regardless of your own moods and needs? I don't have the real answer just the struggle with defining for myself what is about me and what is about you, the reader. If I write simply because it is a day I am supposed to write is that good enough or should I wait for the days when I have something to share and say? Is it good for me to push myself to stretch that discipline muscle finally after all these years and start doing things just because?
Clean the toilet because it is Tuesday?
Write a blog post because it is a week day?
After so many years of working hard to let go of that perfectionism and high expectations is there a way to reconnect with discipline that does not involve adding pressure and anxiety to my life? Those really are the side effects (for me) of perfectionism and expectations. I have been working for years to be more laid back thinking that was the "better" way of life. It certainly seems to be praised and recommended – chill out, relax, lighten up, don't stress so much, whatever will be will be, don't try to control everything, wing it a little bit…
but still manage to deliver what you set out to do.
I don't have any answers yet – so far just the struggle to find the balance between getting things done and still enjoying life as a stay at home mother (in transition). This bridge between full time motherhood and whatever is coming next is covered in fog and I keep waiting for it to blow over.
Find your simple,
* and my most effective tool to counter this is to invoke Nike and tell myself to "Just Do It" – push myself right in the moment and get it off my plate.
** today I am not making any excuses for ditching it all and heading to the first session of the Hunger Games, sometimes escape really is the best recharge.

UO Lacrosse player Sarah MacDonald Update
According to the link above, Sarah suffered a lacerated liver in the final minute of the first half of the UC Davis game at Pape Field on Saturday. She will be out at least 10 days. When I heard the words "lacerated liver" and then "10 days", my immediate thought was damn, this girl is tough.

|Placement director Mary McRee (center) and co-workers Jackie DiClemente, assistant director, and Mandee Varnadoe, secretary (left).
"Ten years after Mr. Stubblefield graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology, his employer ceded to a takeover and he was laid off. Soon after, he attended a job fair sponsored by Georgia Tech's alumni placement service. He got two job offers on the spot, and a short while later received the one he accepted."
Tech's Alumni Placement Director Mary McRee believes Tech's services are unique among the many university placement-type services. The feedback that we're getting from companies that come to the Career Conference and advertise in the Alumni Placement Bulletin is that they don't have anything to compare with it-that's why they keep coming back." McRee said.
Tech's career conference began in 1984, conceived by John B. Carter Jr., IE 69--now vice president and executive director--shortly before he joined the Alumni Association as director of marketing and director of placement. Carter, who had been chairman of an executive search firm, organized the career conference to serve the dual needs of alumni seeking career changes and company recruiters. He established an open resume book for recruiters to peruse, and blocked off time for job interviews to take place during the conference.
The event has been a success from the start. Corporate attendance at the eighth annual conference, held this past June, was down from previous years, reflecting a tough economic year, yet more than 75 major firms were represented and more than 1,300 alumni attended. Historically, 20 percent of alumni attending Tech's Alumni Career Conference receive jobs as a direct result of their participation. In addition to its career conference, Alumni Placement publishes a weekly bulletin that lists companies and firms with positions available. Alumni can receive The Bulletin free of charge simply by requesting it through the placement service at (404) 894-2394. Alumni receive a 13-week subscription to the employment newsletter, which can he renewed as often as desired. McRee said between 2,000 and 3,000 alumni receive the placement newsletter each week.
"The Bulletin provides opportunities for alumni in two ways," McRee said. "One, alumni can receive the bulletin when they are seeking employment because it is filled with job listings. Two, they can advertise job opportunities."
While alumni receive the bulletin free, companies pay to list job openings. But they consider it a bargain, McRee said. It can cost thousands of dollars for a company to hire an engineer through a recruiting firm, she explained. If they use our service, it costs a nominal fee. Companies like to get quality people, and Tech is known for its quality graduates."
Placement also has an annual sponsor program that includes full-page advertisements in four issues of Tech Topics, which goes to 77,000 alumni and friends; unlimited advertising in the Placement Bulletin; and participation in the Career Conference.
"The main thing is that we are devoted to serving Georgia Tech alumni, in no matter what capacity that might he," McRee stated.
This is certainly in keeping with the philosophy of the man who gave the placement program its start-the late George C. Griffin, CE '22, why achieved legendary status at Tech as student, teacher, coach and dean of students.
Griffin started the placement office, the second of its type in the country, in 1932. Griffin met a company representative wandering the halls of the Administration Building wanting to talk to someone at Tech about hiring some graduating seniors. Griffin sent him to the Chemistry Department, but the incident caused Griffin to recognize the need for a central office where the companies could come and interview seniors. He started the student placement center out of his own pocket, and later convinced the administration to support the placement center through its resources.
Griffin founded the Alumni Placement service in 1934. After his retirement as dean of students in 1964, he devoted more energy to developing alumni placement.
The late Fred W. Ajax, who left the English Department to serve as placement director from 1941 until 1958, made an indelible stamp on student placement services. Both Alumni Placement and student placement services are currently located in the facility named in his honor: the Fred W. Ajax Placement Center on Hemphill Avenue.
McRee said helping others find jobs gives her a sense of satisfaction.
"I get a great deal of pleasure in knowing that I have helped open a door for an alumnus," McRee said. "Generally it is just by sitting down and talking with someone about what they should do in conducting a job search. Sometimes I can see a light bulb come on, and they say, 'Why didn't I think of that?'
"It is exciting for me when someone calls me back to say, 'I got a job.' It just makes my day."

Now that the Combine is over, I thought I'd take a shot at another Mock Draft.
1.14: Chance Warmack, G, Alabama
Where BPA meets need. Warmack is the best guard in the draft, and the Panthers absolutely need help at right guard. Get the safe pick with Warmack and get elite production at the position for the next ten years.
2.12: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
Williams was the most productive wide receiver in the nation last year. The Panthers have shown interest in Baylor wide receivers in the past – they drafted David Gettis, looked very closely at Kendall Wright and also considered taking Josh Gordon in the Supplemental Draft. Williams offers good size at 6-2 and has shown the ability to stretch the field. He'll need to work on his route running, but for the time being, he's a guy who can step in and immediately produce as a big, deep threat for Cam to throw to.
4.11: Dion Sims, TE, Michigan State
Sims would be a nice pick in the fourth round as he's an excellent inline blocker, but he also has excellent size at 6'5 and showed good speed at the combine, running a 4.75-40 time. Drafting Sims not only gives Cam another weapon to throw to, but it also helps our running game get going again as the Panthers would be able to run more two tight end sets, like in 2011.
5.15: Josh Evans, SS, Florida
Evans was the 'other' Florida safety. Although Matt Elam got all the attention, Evans is an underrated prospect who has good size and range. He would be good competition for D.J Campbell in his rookie year, and has the potential to become Charles Godfrey's replacement in a year or two.
6.14: Montori Hughes, NT, Tennessee-Martin
Hughes is a developmental prospect at nose tackle. Here's what Dane Brugler has to say about him:
Strengths: Hughes passes the eye test with good bulk throughout his frame. Works hard in the weight room and has added approximately 75 pounds since high school, weighing 255 pounds as a senior at Murfreesboro Siegel. Moves light on his feet with an explosive first step to beat blockers off the snap. Shows natural burst to close and finish in a flash. Shows an intense competitive nature and loves to talk on the field. Large, powerful hands to swat blockers and stays balanced through contact.
Weaknesses: Questions about whether or not he can keep his head on straight after multiple incidents in Knoxville, although nothing criminal. Allows his pad level to rise off the snap and will struggle with leverage at times. Room to improve his fundamentals to shed quicker, relying too much on his tools and not technique. Needs to improve his awareness and recognition skills to find the ball quicker and react accordingly. Has a good motor when he has a full tank, but is known to take some plays off. Most of his production came against FCS-level competition.
Compares To: Red Bryant, DT, Seattle Seahawks
It looks like the Panthers are able to walk away with three starters from this draft. Warmack is the guard we need, Williams has the potential to become a #1 wide receiver, and Sims could start instantly as our inline tight end.
The Panthers then draft for the future by taking Evans from Florida and Hughes from Tennessee-Martin.
Your thoughts on this mock?

Las Vegas, NV (Sports Network) - Following an offseason felony charge for burglary, UNLV sophomore forward Savon Goodman will not play another game for the Runnin' Rebels.
Goodman allegedly stole $500, a pair of shoes and 26 video games from a Las Vegas apartment. He was charged on Aug. 15 in Las Vegas Township Justice Court with conspiracy to commit burglary, burglary and grand larceny. The latter two are felonies.
On Aug. 24, UNLV head coach Dave Rice announced that Goodman would be suspended for the 2013-14 season.
Goodman, originally from Philadelphia, averaged 3.6 points and 2.4 rebounds in just over nine minutes per game as a freshman.
"I respect Savon's decision (to transfer) and will always be here to support him," said Rice. "I wish him all the best."

text: Couple thing I've noticed in my time around here: 1) There's no way to hop directly to the first new post in a thread. Not a big deal, obv, but it's super convenient and I'd enjoy using such a feature. 2) When/how posts get marked as read seems pretty arbitrary. I'll often visit in the morning and read some stuff, then return in the afternoon and threads I visited are still marked as having new posts when I can tell it ain't so based on the time of the last post. Then, sometimes while I'm browsing around, everything gets marked as read all at once even though I haven't viewed many of the new posts/threads. So I assume the new/marked as read thing is based on time on the site or something? Any thought to connecting it to actual viewing of individual threads? Just thinking out loud. Thanks!

Security forces arrested an Israeli Arab resident of Taiba on suspicion of
fighting with rebels in Syria against the regime of President Bashar Assad, the
Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) announced on Wednesday.
The suspect,
named as 29- year-old Hichmat Masarwa, was arrested on March 19 by the Shin Bet
and Israel Police upon returning from Turkey, after suspicions emerged that he
had joined global jihadi groups in Syria and had tried to locate his brother,
who traveled to Syria in recent months to fight with the rebels as
The Central District Attorney's Office on Wednesday filed an
indictment in the Lod District Court against Masarwa charging him with contact
with a foreign agent, unlawful military training and leaving the country
Masarwa flew from Israel to Turkey on March 3, with the goal
of eventually joining up with the Syrian rebels, the document stated. Masarwa
then crossed from Turkey into Syria illegally on March 11.
"In Syria,
Masarwa underwent military training with rebel forces... including weapons
training. He was offered the possibility of carrying out a suicide bombing
against the army of the Assad regime, but he says he refused this," the Shin Bet
Rebel forces frequently questioned Masarwa about Israel and its
armed forces, and he was asked about weapons in use by the IDF, as well as the
nuclear power plant in Dimona, the Shin Bet said, adding that he was asked to
carry out an attack in Israel, but refused this offer as well.
being requested to carry out attacks in Israel and being questioned about
Israeli security, Masarwa did not break contact with the rebel forces, alleged
the district attorney's office.
Only on March 17 – after Masarwa, under
pressure from his family, had failed to find his brother and had decided that
the groups he had met up with were not meeting his expectations in fighting the
Syrian regime – did he return to Turkey from Syria, the indictment
In fact, the document said that Syrian rebels refused Masarwa's
requests to engage in live-fire exercises and only allowed him other forms of
training, including weapons assembly and observing livefire
Before leaving the rebels, Masarwa took down email, Skype and
Facebook information from several rebels in order to maintain contact and took
pictures with a number of them, according to the indictment.
Arabs who travel to Syria are exposed to radical ideology, and could be enlisted
for terrorist attacks in Israel due to their knowledge of targets in the
country, security sources said, adding that this represented a serious national
security issue.
The indictment emphasized in introductory paragraphs why
Masarwa's activities were problematic and dangerous.
The case may be
complicated for the prosecution as Masarwa was volunteering to fight the Assad
regime, a regime at war with Israel, and he refused to undertake any actions
against Israel.
The indictment indicated, however, that even having
contact with the rebels, which includes elements who view Israel as the enemy,
could result in unintended dangers to Israeli security.
Those who contact
groups fighting in Syria could give them information and, in so doing, could
lead to more connections between Israeli citizens and such seditious
The prosecution also requested that Masarwa be detained until
the end of the proceedings.
Prosecutors argued that, since Masarwa had
contacts in Syria, he would be more likely to return to the country and join
them, especially to escape conviction and a prison sentence for his
Masarwa's detention was extended temporarily until April 25, when
the court is set to decide whether to keep him in custody until the end of the
Masarwa's arraignment is set for May 16.

In memory of Stephanie Markham Minge
Stephanie Markham Minge, graduated from Madison High School in 1997 and then from Miami University in 2001. Following her passion for music, she became a band director and music teacher at Carroll High School, in Dayton, Ohio. Three years later, in June 2004, Stephanie married her best friend and soul mate, Sammy Minge.
Little did Sammy and Stephanie know that when they pledged to love each other through sickness and in health, that their vows would be tested so early in their marriage. They were newlyweds for less than 18 months when Stephanie was diagnosed with osteosarcoma. The local oncologist immediately recommended that Stephanie see the specialists at the MD Anderson Cancer Care Center, in Houston, Texas.
Stephanie faced cancer head-on with urgency along with the grit and determination of a warrior. Stephanie also blessed everyone with her incredible sense of humor. In her blog, while losing her hair during the initial round of chemotherapy, Stephanie wrote, "The only thing left to figure out is when to make the move and take it all off. See, I refuse to look like a cabbage patch doll that got attacked by a three year old with scissors." To read more of Stephanie's blog, click here: http://minge411.xanga.com
Stephanie endured 5 major operations and 5 recurrences of her disease. She spent more months receiving treatment in Houston, Texas, than in remission at her home in Springboro, Ohio. Through all of this, Stephanie was an amazing presence with a smile that could light a million Christmas trees. She continued to inspire others as a faithful member of her church, a beloved teacher, and an entrepreneur with a home-based business.
She impacted countless lives as she demonstrated how to live courageously, give passionately, and love unconditionally. Stephanie passed away peacefully seven years to the day that she was first diagnosed with sarcoma. She was surrounded by the love of her beautiful sister Angela, her generous and loving parents, Marcia and Steve, and her one-true-love Sammy.
On the night of her passing, Sammy wrote these words to encourage us all to carry the torch in Stephanie's memory:
"Live by her example. LIVE. GIVE. LOVE. Leave a legacy. Impact the world. Tomorrow we wake up to a darker world without her in it. What will you do to brighten it back up? Who will you be to make that happen? She's set the bar pretty high."

Linton: : Printer friendly page.
River Wharf and Linton
This walk takes in Linton falls, a serene meander along the river, over the suspension bridge, and along some lovely quiet lanes passing through the tranquil hamlet of Thorpe.
|4.75 miles.
|2 ½ hours.
|Less than 800 ft.
|A very gentle walk with three mildly exerting hills to go up.
|Weir, Falls, River, Pasture, and two unusual bridges. (packhorse and suspension)
|Start at Grassington National Park car park. SE 003637
|Explorer OL2
|1.From the main car park on the outskirts of Grassington, go through the gate at the back of the car park leading down to Linton Falls. It is clearly signed. Going through a set of gates, head downhill along the walled pathway. Turn left before the bridge, which is again clearly signed (picture) for Hebden and Burnsall at SE 002633 Go through a gap in the wall, and a four-stepped stone stile.
|2.Follow the track along the riverside and over to your right, you will see the old church on the opposite bank. Now just follow this riverside pathway. At a five-stepped stone stile with a wooden gate at the top, go over this (picture) and turn right along the lane.
|3. Pass the Mayfield B&B on your left, and go through a large metal gate with a wooden pedestrian gate to its right. (picture) Take the path signposted to Burnsall 2 ¼ miles on the left, which crosses the vehicle path in front of you. Head for the wooden bridge, by way of a shingle path.
|4. Next go through a wooden kissing gate, keeping the river, and the noisy pumping station on your right, just follow the well defined Dalesway path. At the suspension bridge, cross over the river, (a unique experience, second only to the Millennium Bridge in London?) turn left through the gates, and less than 100 yards along on the right take this (picture) bridleway to Thorpe Lane, and head uphill.
|5. Follow the blue painted posts along the path upward...eventually reaching a large wooden five bar gate, and pedestrian gate on its left, follow the path with a drystone wall on your left. At the next fence the road comes into view...cross over the road, following the directions (picture) for Thorpe. The crossroads are at 019622. You now have about 2 miles left to go.
|6. On entering the quaint village of Thorpe, turn right at the village green, without its Maypole!!! (check out the information board) Head uphill passing the red postbox on the left, and at the next juction turn left. Along this road, is a three-stepped stone stile (picture) before a ruined barn on your right. Take this and head downhill, following the sign for Linton on the right. Follow the rather indistinct pathway, keeping the drystone wall over on the left. Head for the post in a rock, in the middle of the field, and soon, a four-stepped stile, then a wooden ladder stile to the left of a large metal gate. Scramble over this.
Follow the track into Linton through another wooden ladder stile, and at
the junction turn right. Continue along the roadway, passing a bridge to
your left, (or using it to gain access to the pub, the Fountaine Inn, over
the river ?!?). Turn right at the end of the road junction, by the second
bridge, (built in 1892), at 997628, and head along the main road, (picture)
passing a right turn.
At the next crossroads, carry straight over for Linton Parish Church, and Linton Falls. This is a steep downhill trek.
At the next junction go straight on past the bridge on your left. Now just
follow the directions for Grassington and Linton Falls, ignoring the packhorse
bridge, and passing behind the back of private houses on your right, carry
on over the wooden bridge enjoying the view, (picture) and return up the
path, back to the car park.
There are no toilets along this route except at the pub in Linton and
at the Grassington National Park car park.

---- — SALEM — Police received multiple reports yesterday that registrations and GPS devices had been stolen during vehicle break-ins on Malone Drive and Dodge Street the night before.
At 7:44 a.m., a woman at 4 Malone Drive reported that her unlocked 2007 Ford Edge had been entered overnight and the vehicle's registration stolen, according to the incident log.
"Nothing else reported missing or stolen from vehicle," wrote police.
Next, a man at the same address reported at 8:26 a.m. that the registration to his 2003 GMC SUV had been stolen, as well as a Garmin GPS device worth about $200.
His vehicle had also been left unlocked, according to the log.
Later, at 9:54 a.m., police responded to 7 Dodge St. after a report of another vehicle break-in, this time involving a 2007 BMW 328xi. The vehicle's driver-side window had been smashed and a Garmin GPS stolen from the center console.
A second break was reported on Dodge Street at 11:01 p.m. A vehicle parked across from Starbucks had its driver side window smashed, and unidentified items had been stolen from inside.
Two detectives responded to Dodge Street and took photographs of the vehicles. They also collected a "rag with blood on it" that was apparently found at the scene of one break.
No suspects or witnesses were listed in the log items detailing any of the incidents.
Sgt. Andrew Dacy said thieves could be interested in stealing vehicle registrations as part of an identity-theft scheme. A third break-in during which a vehicle registration was stolen had been reported on Wednesday.
In that incident, a Meadow Street woman reported at 11:18 a.m. that her 2007 BMW 328xi — the same type of vehicle involved in the 7 Dodge St. incident the next day — had been broken into and several items of "significant value" stolen, including the car's keys.
Police advised the woman to turn in her plates and obtain a new registration, according to the log.
