Duchess Says "Melon"
- Words: Jennifer Marston
- Label: Alien8
Runny mascara, a decidedly punk ethos, and outrageous onstage antics (that sometimes end with injury) inform much of the work of Montreal four-piece Duchess Says, and here's a track that's less dance-punk than it is an all out musical catharsis.
"Melon" is off Anthologie Des 3 Perchoirs, out now.

Sorry for stupid question,
but why are you doing this for HL and not HL2 ?
I own both, I just wanna know ;-)
PS: still low on time ?
8 comments by Thanoshld on Mar 23rd, 2012
So, it has been a long time since I have updated anything on my mods' page or upload anything at all here on my profile regarding me and my mod. I made only a little status update, which you can find here Moddb.com.
As I said, I am very low on time, but not as much as I used to be. The main problem now is that I don't have a regular internet connection so I can contact my other team members. That is indeed a problem because when I run into a problem, I cannot solve it immediately, but I have to wait till I have found an internet connection to look it up on the internet or/and to contact my other team members. Also, right now, since my indoor mod has pretty much been completed (as I state in my mods' summary, you will venture through an alien infested city later on in Deflections), I am currently occupied with doing the first outdoor maps. Well, I have made some before, but they all were, well...let's say the compiler did not like 'em.
Also, as always, I am re-oing some of my older maps. Since i have over 70 maps, the first 50 (at least) are full of errors. They may compile and look good, but they have leaks, they are very simplistic or they just don't fit my current standards.
Due to the recent update on my mods' page, I update my profile page with a couple of pictures of what I am working right now and what I am trying to fix or make better with my older maps. I hope you enjoy this little Deflections update.
Greetings, Thanoshltbeginning aka Thanoshld
Sorry for stupid question,
but why are you doing this for HL and not HL2 ?
I own both, I just wanna know ;-)
PS: still low on time ?
he's doin a hl1 mod on hl1 because black mesa is hard to re-create in hl2...
Not really.
In any case, who gives a **** what engine it being used? If they want to mod HL1, so what? Don't stop people from their passion.
@Icefalme:Well modding for the GldSource engine is much more fun and easy than for the source engine, and personally i loved HL1 more than HL2.And nope, for a month now i am back :)
@Zanta_Claws:Yep that too,it's very difficult to recreate HL1 in Source.You need a big and talented team for that!
@_DiamonD_Tottaly agree mate :)Thanks!
I think a good HL 1 mod is way better than anything HL 2 can throw out, and it brings back memories of old Black Mesa.
@ _DiamonD_
I just wanna know, relax a minute ;-)
I dont want the developer stop from their passion; I am not in the position to do this ;-)
hey, dude, is this dead
hope not
and hopefully, there will be new stuff in this mod :)
No mate don't worry:) I just am a bit low on time, hopefully i will find some time to update.Though the mapping is moving really slowly :S
How goes it? :D
Hey mate !I have hold back the update till i have something special to show off.Plus that i am recording some in-game footage.Stay tuned!

A very easy process - I don't think anyone could know more about the area. As a family with young children, and from the North East, they were instrumental in helping us understand the intricacies of weather, neighborhood, schools, and the many other details that accompany buying a Mill Valley home. The actual transaction went very smoothly - Jane had excellent professionals to refer us to for the various contingencies that arise. The house we ended up with is perfect for us, and process of buying the home was painless.

Peter and Jane helped us buy our first home 8 years ago. Negotiations with the seller were difficult. We agreed to all the seller's conditions while they wouldn't accept ours. We were ready to walk away. If Jane hadn't been there to negotiate on our behalf we wouldn't be in our home today. She was always responsive and available to address our concerns. For that we are grateful.

Travertine tile makes great-looking floors, fireplace surrounds, bathroom features, and backsplashes. If maintained properly, travertine can last forever, but it's not easy to care for. This stone is very delicate, so only certain kinds of cleaners are safe to use. Although stone may be hard, it's also porous. When something seeps down into these pores, it can be very difficult to remove. I'm sure that you have been very careful about protecting your investment. Unfortunately, sometimes stains happen. Here's what to do:
For a particularly stubborn stain, you can make a poultice and allow it to penetrate into the stone. (This won't work for etch marks.) Follow these steps:
Finally, some warnings about what NOT to do when cleaning your travertine:

I love theFACEshop. Their products have half the price of expensive brands and still have the best quality. This makes the thinnest to most dramatic lines on my eyes. It never really smudges and is water resistant. Super pigmented too!
In comparison to American products, theFACEshop is up to par for half you pay for. However, this eyeliner was a hidden gem and for half the price of Kat Von D's Tattoo liner, you get the same qualities like long lasting, smudge proof, waterproof.
I've been using this liner for about 7 months and only now its slightly dried up. I have oily skin and I never have to touch up when i'm out for 12 hrs.
Cheap, never had to deal with leakage.
Definitely to try!

Although they play legendary magicians in the new comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," one trick Steve Carell said he'll never attempt is the disappearing act his fellow star, Steve Buscemi, pulled off in Joel and Ethan Coen's 1996 movie classic "Fargo."
And yes, that would be where Buscemi disappears into a wood chipper …
"And never to be seen again," Carell told me with a laugh in a recent interview. "There was no encore with that one."
Carell said Buscemi didn't give him any tips on how to disappear in a wood chipper during their preparations for "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," because after all, there's no way around your fate when you disappear into such a device.
"If you're going to do it you're going to have to commit -- and hope there is an afterlife," Carell quipped.
In a separate interview, Buscemi told me people still bring up the "Fargo" wood chipper scene to him -- 17 years after the fact -- even though he's technically not in it.
"I get complimented on that scene a lot," Buscemi deadpanned.
Opening in theaters nationwide on Friday, "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" stars Carell in the title role and Buscemi as Anton Marvelton, a pair of longtime friends who've grow tired of each other years after starting off magician team in their youth.
Facing obscurity after an extreme street magician (Jim Carrey) shows up on the Las Vegas strip and threatens their once immense popularity, Burt and Anton attempt a new stunt that turns out to be a disaster, leading to their inevitable breakup -- maybe for good.
Buscemi said he loved the idea of "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" not only for its comedic premise, but for the film's wonderful story of friendship.
"These guys really do love each other underneath it all -- they just got to a place where they lost sight of what they're about or why they're doing it," Buscemi said. "At its heart it's a movie about friendship and also about taking risks and keeping things fresh."
The first risk the duo takes is being hoisted 100 feet off the street in a clear glass contraption known as the "hot box," which was also a risk for the actors because it was really shot with Buscemi and Carell stuck in the thing 100 feet in the air.
"It wasn't as bad as I thought, but it was pretty dicey, because we were up pretty high -- but what a way to do a scene. You don't have to imagine that," Buscemi said, laughing. It does all the acting work for you."
"The Incredible Burt Wonderstone" features a cavalcade of talented performers, including Alan Arkin as Rance Holloway, the magician who inspired Burt to become an illusionist; to James Gandolfini, who plays a big wheel casino owner who is forced to sever ties with Burt and Anton after their partnership falls apart. Olivia Wilde also stars as Jane, Burt and Anton's beleaguered assistant who may just have a trick or two of her own up her sleeve.
Carell, who also served as one of the film's producers, said given Buscemi's diverse background, the "Boardwalk Empire" star was a perfect fit to play Burt's partner.
"He is a really gifted actor -- he could have played any character in the movie and done it exceptionally well. That's the kind of actor he is. He's also an incredibly generous and a kind good person, which is always nice when you're working closely with people," Carell said. "When we read the script, he was the first one that came to mind. He's the first one I saw in that character. He can be dramatic, he can be comedic -- and he's always truthful. You always believe him. You never see him act. It's always just a very effortless thing for him."
As much as Buscemi appreciates the compliments, he humbly admitted that a magician like Anton in "The Amazing Burt Wonderstone" is the one who really deserves the credit.
"To be able to make it in Las Vegas, you really have to be super-talented and a hard worker," Buscemi said. "They work much harder than I can. They're really amazing. I've always had a respect for what they do, but working so close to the business in this, I'm really in awe."
Steve Buscemi brings new bag of tricks to 'Incredible Burt Wonderstone'
Celebrated actor, Carell star in magical new comedy
Although they play legendary magicians in the new comedy "The Incredible Burt Wonderstone," one trick Steve Carell said he'll never attempt is the disappearing act his fellow star, Steve Buscemi, pulled off in Joel and Ethan Coen's 1996 movie classic "Fargo."

Computer-based behavioral therapy effective tool for addiction treatment
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Yale researchers have developed a computer-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) program to treat substance abuse and dependence, and report that it results in better outcomes both in the near term and over time. The program is known as Computer Based Training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT4CBT. Their findings, which confirm those of an earlier pilot study, appear online in the American Journal of Psychiatry.
The researchers studied 101 cocaine-dependent patients who were being treated with methadone, splitting them into two groups — those receiving standard methadone care, and those receiving weekly CBT4CBT in addition. Patients who had access to the program were more likely to attain abstinence, and used less cocaine during the next six months
The authors write that only a minority of those who could benefit from evidence-based substance abuse treatment actually receives it. Further, cognitive CBT remains rarely implemented in the treatment of substance use disorders, because of the limited availability of training programs, high rates of clinician turnover, and the cost of training clinicians in CBT.
Responding to this need, the Yale researchers developed an interactive Web-based program, CBT4CBT, that uses movies and interactive tools to teach users practical strategies to cope with craving, to manage their thoughts about drug use, and to change behavior patterns that can lead to relapse — all essential, they write, to achieving durable results.
With the Affordable Care Act having established parity for mental health and substance use treatment, the number of people seeking treatment for substance use disorders is expected to rise.
Greater availability of evidence-based approaches like CBT, utilizing new strategies such as Web-based programs, may help make this form of treatment more available to those who might benefit from it, say the researchers.
"CBT4CBT is now one of the only computer-based interventions demonstrated to be effective in multiple studies," said lead author Kathleen Carroll, the Albert E. Kent Professor of Psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine. "These findings now allow us to make CBT4CBT available for use through professionally monitored treatment programs."
Other authors are Brian Kiluk, Charla Nich, Melissa Gordon, Galina Portnoy, Daniel Marino, and Samuel Ball of Yale School of Medicine.
The study was supported by grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (R37-DA 015969 and P50-DA09241).

Royalton White Sands, MoBay receives Green Globe Certification
Royalton Luxury Resorts is pleased to announce that Royalton White Sands, Montego Bay has been awarded Green Globe Certification. Green Globe is the only international programme to recognise companies within the travel industry that demonstrate a long-term commitment to incorporating sustainable practices within their overall day-to-day operations.
Established in 1993, the Green Globe organisation adheres to ISO 19011 guidelines and employs independent auditors to ensure their rigorous criteria comprising over 330 compliance indicators is met. Their guidelines are revised annually, and in order to maintain their Green Globe Certifications, hotels must undergo an annual inspection and demonstrate an improvement each time in their adherence to the recommendations set by Green Globe.
Green Globe CEO, Guido Bauer, said, "We congratulate Royalton White Sands, Montego Bay as the first Royalton Luxury Resorts property to be certified Green Globe. This luxury Jamaican resort scored 73 per cent compliance after being independently audited, which is quite an accomplishment for a first-time certification.
Community connection
One of their most notable achievements is their connection to the local community. Royalton is active in bringing on and training local staff as well as incorporating cultural practices as part of their service style. They are also keen to source local products, including cosmetics made from natural ingredients for their spa, through to purchasing seasonal produce for traditional Jamaican dishes in their restaurants.
"Green Globe is currently working to certify other properties within the collection, and we commend them for their active and ongoing contribution to sustainable tourism," he added.
Armando Pizzuti, general manager for Royalton White Sands, Montego Bay, also welcomed the certification as recognition for his team's ongoing dedication to offer their guests a luxury holiday experience while respecting the local environment. "Throughout our day-to-day operations, we seek to educate our guests on the destination that they are visiting and how they can help keep it pristine. Information on our commitment to the local environment and how our guests can help us during their stay is displayed in each of our rooms.
"We also have incorporated a number of features within the property that help reduce our environmental impact such as the use of eco-friendly cleaning products, in-room motion sensors to avoid unnecessary lighting and use of air-conditioning and a comprehensive recycling programme. Our waste water flows directly into our own our treatment plant where it is irrigated, not into the drains. Moreover, we also regularly monitor the local wetlands close to our resort."
Royalton White Sands, as part of their commitment to their local environment, also extends to community support. Along with leading weekly clean-ups of the surrounding area, the resort has also been responsible for launching a local tree-planting project and programming a variety of different activities throughout the year to keep care of the local environment front of mind within the local community.

Manatee schools install new technology
Date: September 15, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
New technology is allowing teachers at Lakewood Ranch High School to reach students in classrooms at Manatee, Palmetto, Braden River and Palmetto high schools.
The technology, which features more than 100 miles of underground conduit and fiber-optic cables, allows teachers to see and interact with students via video. The technology was developed through the work of Manatee County Public School's Network Services Team under the leadership of Vince Hoaglin and a partnership among the district, Manatee County government and the Florida Department of Transportation.
In the past, the Manatee School District budgeted more than $300,000 per year to lease copper and fiber data transmission lines from various vendors. The new technology resulted in a one-time capital cost for the school district of $9.5 million to install the conduit and fiber-optic cables. Now that the district owns the data transmission system, it will no longer have to use operating funds to pay the annual leases.

Stanford researchers calculate global health impacts of the Fukushima nuclear disaster
Radiation from Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster may eventually cause anywhere from 15 to 1,300 deaths and from 24 to 2,500 cases of cancer, mostly in Japan, Stanford researchers have calculated. The estimates have large uncertainty ranges, but contrast with previous claims that the radioactive release would likely cause no severe health effects. The numbers are in addition to the roughly 600 deaths caused by the evacuation of the area surrounding the nuclear plant directly after the March 2011 earthquake, tsunami and meltdown. Stanford University is home to the Stanford Cancer Institute.

With Viggo Mortensen already having moved on, last week it was reported that the studio was talking to the now available Hugh Jackman to take on the part, but it appears those efforts have gone unrewarded.Read More »

A funny thing about the goth subculture is that guys always love when a hot, popular girl turns to the dark side. But nobody ever seems to want or expect the jock or preppy boy to start wearing fishnets and makeup and all-black wardrobes. That's why the kids would be very excited if there was a female equivalent of "The Crow" and they heard Scarlett Johansson or Olivia Munn was playing her (actually Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander might be that equivalent, though she's less of a pin-up type). But Bradley Cooper potentially cast as Eric Draven in the actual "Crow" reboot? Well that's almost enough for the goth kids to protest (but they'll obviously just sulk harder instead). I can joke, by the way, because I had a t-shirt with this image on it throughout high school.Read More »

For those curious, advancements for this summer's Picton Picturefest - a DIY, not-for-profit film festival and "cinephile retreat" I'm currently planning with a group of folks - are coming fast and furious. On July 7th we'll kick off four days of screenings, workshops, parties and merriment amidst one of the most picturesque communities in Ontario (fyi to those unaware: Prince Edward County is roughly a 2 hour drive east of Toronto; and a 4 hour drive west of Montreal... some call it "Ontario's 'Provincetown'" by personally I'd peg it more as a Canadian version of Napa). An eclectic mix of venues have all been set, as has 9 of the 13 films that will screen at the fest (but we can't announce them just yet)... In keeping with our theme of community (in programming, organizing and execution), the majority of screenings at the festival – a mix of Canadian and international, new and old, narrative and documentary, feature and short – will be on a first-come, first-serve basis with a suggested donation of $10.Read More »

The most important moment of my educational career occurred the first day of my sophomore year of high school. My geometry teacher, a bright and dedicated woman, explained a few core concepts to us. "A line" she informed us, "is a perfectly straight object with no width connecting two points." The idea that a line could have "no width" was immediately fascinating to me. "How can that be?" I asked. "If a line has no width then you could never distinguish between one line and 500 lines stacked upon each other." My teacher glared at me, no doubt identifying me as a trouble maker rather than a child who was highly conceptually engaged. She said "Moving on!" in a sarcastic and dismissive way and—in typical immature fashion—I sulked, for days and weeks after, ultimately withdrawing from the course with a failing grade.
The sense I had as a teenager is the same sense that many students, even those in higher education, have today: education is less like a gift being offered than it is like an imposition.

Movie Preview: Leo and Michelle in Scorsese's Shutter Island
Movie Preview: Leo and Michelle in Scorsese's Shutter Island
Within about 20 seconds of watching this trailer for Shutter Island, I had chills. By the time it was drawing to a scary, climactic close (and this is just the trailer, mind you) I was fully spooked. More than most frightening things, the idea of being trapped in an asylum (or a prison) as a presumably sane (or innocent) person disturbs me right to the bone.
Shutter Island takes place in 1954 when "U.S. marshal Teddy Daniels [Leonardo Dicaprio] is assigned to investigate the disappearance of a patient from Boston's Shutter Island Ashecliffe Hospital. Teddy's shrewd investigating skills soon provide a promising lead, but the hospital refuses him access to records he suspects would break the case wide open. As a hurricane cuts off communication with the mainland, more dangerous criminals 'escape' in the confusion, and the puzzling, improbable clues multiply, Teddy begins to doubt everything — his memory, his partner, even his own sanity."
The movie opens Oct. 2. To check out the eerie-looking trailer, read more.

The top four teams continue to change
Four weeks into the College playoff's first run, the 12- person committee has had four different top fours, including two different number one seeds and only one conference has yet to be represented, the Big Ten. The big question after the weekend was where the committee would have Mississippi St. and Alabama after their showdown on Saturday. I thought that Mississippi State would stay in the top four if they finished close to Alabama. And they did just that. Alabama went from not being in the top four, to jumping undefeated Florida State, and idle Oregon.

Bushnell partners up with Bear Grylls Ventures to release the Bear Grylls edition BackTrack and BackTrack D-Tour GPS systems.
The GPS forever changed the way many hunters operated in the field, and handheld versions of the technology earned what seemed like a permanent place in most gear bags. Now, though, Smartphones are beginning to challenge even the finest GPS units.
By Bob Robb
I admit it. I'm an old guy, and I do not really like technology all that much. When it comes to hunting laser rangefinders and, upon occasion, a trail camera, are about as high tech as I get. I've never been a big fan of using a GPS when hunting, preferring the old school way—the topographic map and compass.
Bushnell's latest addition to its Backtrack line offers an array of new hunter-friendly features for 2012.
The new eXplorist devices allow adventurers to navigate to outdoor destinations worldwide, capture geotagged photos and share their experiences online.
Results of a recent study seem to disprove the idea that men have better spatial skills than women.
Gadgets will never replace basic woodsmanship skills in the hunter success equation. Locate fresh sign, set up on it quickly and make it happen.
The latest mapping software can make the bucks on your land seem as predictable as they do in those hunting video games. So, digitize your hunting property.

An innovative designer that helped make it possible to get the Mini into such a compact vehicle. I'm not quite so sure about the hydrolastic version that he developed as an improvement as I could never get it set up to suit my style of driving. I also liked his bikes of which I have owned a couple over the years. Certainly merits a place in my designers hall of fame.

I got to really thinking about our brains and about the idea of mental stimulation. Now, granted, everyone needs mental stimulation because we are human beings. No one wants a life that is dull, boring or monotonous. But I think some people *cough cough – like me – cough cough* have more of an extreme need for this kind of stimulation than others. It has nothing to do with any sort of "mental illness" either. It's just how I am. Let me dig into this a little more.
I made a video a couple of years ago, I don't think I ever uploaded it though, about this idea. I believe I called it "over active brain." I've kind of always been this way, with a constantly active mind, but I think it is increasing with age instead of decreasing. There are some times when I really feel almost like a computer and that I can just sit and have all this output spitting out from my mind through my hands or body. It's kind of a cool yet intense feeling. I think perhaps this is why I have a tendency toward more elevated periods in recent years. I really honestly believe that the two sort of feed off each other. The more elevated you become, the more open your mind is and the more knowledge you can access. But it works the other way too. Actively working to use my mind for something somewhat strenuous causes my mind to open and then I can go on to become elevated. It's a very interesting circle, a weird feedback loop going on.
Anyway, back to this idea of mental stimulation. I realized a few years back that I am a person that really needs it. Now, obviously, not everyone has mental stimulation all the time from outside sources. Sometimes our relationships are boring, jobs are boring, our day to day life is boring! For a long time I just accepted that. I would sit with my husband night after night in the dead of winter, bored, watching TV shows. UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH *clawing my brain* I became so mentally inactive it was terrible and my moods really suffered. I noticed I was sort of apathetic and my brain felt like it had started to atrophy and shrivel.
With day to day responsibilities, it can be hard to find time to engage in meaningful activities or interesting activities. But I finally decided I was going to. Writing has always been a really big outlet for me, and that is great, and I continue to blog, journal, write prose. But there are so many other things that I want to do/try and am starting to get into more. I find that when I get good at something, or have learned a lot about something, I become slightly bored with it and I need to move on to the next thing and attempt to master that. Obviously the more you do something the more adept you will be at it (generally, and especially if you have a passion for it. Now, if you're repetitively doing the same thing again and again and don't care, I dunno. Haha.) I get a weird kind of pleasure and excitement over the idea of mastering any sort of skill/concept/ability. Also it isn't really narrowly defined in my case. It could literally apply to anything, as long as it's challenging my thinking abilities.
In the world, there are endless possibilities. I'm naturally a pretty creative person and so I gravitate toward those expressive areas – writing, music, art, literature. But really, anything that challenges my mind is exciting to me. Maybe part of that plays into the novelty of something. Naturally, everyone gets excited by something new because it's unknown and you don't know what to expect. Eventually the novelty of anything wears off though and you're left seeking the next thing. So that can leave a person feeling empty if they don't have something else to fill that gap. But I never ever have any shortage of ideas or things to fill it with. In fact, I think I have TOO much!
Most people wind down from their day at night, but I am the opposite. It's when I'm most alert, I cannot wait for the day to be over usually and for 9 PM to roll around so that I can start purging my brain of all the things that are whirling inside of it constantly. And it's really a gratifying feeling to be able to take something that is a mere abstract idea and make it into a reality simply by your sheer force of will and desire. To take something completely intangible existing only within the spaces in one's mind and form it into something physical, concrete, and easily able to share with others is darn cool. Very very cool.
But at the same time, it can be a little tough to deal with. It leaves me restless sometimes because I have so much I want to do and seemingly so little time to do it and I get thwarted by just, well, day to day life. Also I get so interested in something, either wanting to do it, or learn about it, that I become obsessively consumed by it and the urgency can be unbearable. Like reading a book and not being patient enough to get through it, but wanting to siphon the entire volume of information into my brain at once. Or trying out a new skill, like video editing software, and not wanting to learn all the ins and outs but to just sit down and DO IT. That sort of furious, urgent NEED to do it can feel good and bad at the same time. Sometimes I gorge on something so much for so long I just drop it entirely. Then a couple months later, I circle back around and go back to it incessantly. It's kind of bad too because I sometimes become so consumed with something I sacrifice sleep and even food because I don't want to tear myself away from it. It's almost like mental stimulation is like a drug to me, and I can be like that lab rat that gets administered doses of heroin and will keep pressing the button to get that pleasurable reward to the detriment of its own health. (Hey that just gave me another random idea about correlation between elevated states and addiction in our reward circuitry…interesting…)
Currently I am interested in getting some software/hardware to record music and voice, I am also interested in getting back into drawing (which I did as a teen and sporadically over the years) and trying my hand at painting, I'm interested in some makeup design as well, on top of all my usual reading, research, etc. etc. So much stuff…infinite possibilities…but so little time….

Hilliard helps Villanova stay undefeated
Updated On: Dec 15 2013 05:57:06 PM CST
VILLANOVA, Pa. (AP) — La Salle's reign as Philly's best basketball team is just about over.
Villanova is entrenched as the class of city hoops, and one of the top teams in the nation.
Liberty grad Darrun Hilliard scored 21 points and Josh Hart added 13, lifting undefeated No. 14 Villanova past La Salle, 73-52 on Sunday.
La Salle's Jerrell Wright scored 18 of his 20 points in the first half. The Explorers snapped a 10-game series losing streak to Villanova in last season's Big 5 game, on their way toward their deepest NCAA tournament run in decades.
"We've regressed for multiple reasons," La Salle coach John Giannini said.
The Wildcats are 10-0 for the first time since the 2005-06 season, and can thank their thumpings over their lesser Big 5 rivals. They beat Penn by 23 and Saint Joseph's by 30. The Wildcats opened the second half on a 15-5 run that helped them build a comfortable lead and blow out the Explorers (5-5).
They have only one more city team, Temple, left to pad that record.
"It's good to be 10-0, I guess," Hilliard said. "But we've got a whole lot of work to do."
Villanova coach Jay Wright had peppered the Wildcats on the difficulty of winning city series games. He might have to bench the inspirational talks before the Feb. 1 game at Temple.
"You really don't expect this," Wright said. "Sometimes our guys not being familiar with all the history is a good thing. Usually it bites us in the butt. Our guys look at La Salle as a team that went to the Sweet 16 last year, and they're just their next game."
The Wildcats still have a Dec. 28 game at Syracuse ahead they want to match the program-best 13-0 start in 1937-38.
Wright's team isn't in the Top 10 because of victories against the city lightweights, but because of wins over Top 25 teams Kansas and Iowa.
"You can start this way, and if you don't keep getting better, you can slip," Wright said, "and if you slip, you don't necessarily get it back."
The Wildcats shot 59 percent in the second half to beat La Salle for the 11th time in the last 12 games.
The city series rivalry is embraced by students, and fans and coaches who grew up around or played in Philly like Wright and Temple's Fran Dunphy.
For the players, all the speeches in the world may not add extra fuel once the ball is tipped.
"I didn't really take too much notice of the Big 5," Hilliard said "I didn't even know what it was until I came in here."
This win was pretty much all Villanova.
The Wildcats' 38-34 halftime lead was stretched in a hurry, with JayVaughn Pinkston hitting a 3 for a 46-35 lead. Hilliard and Kris Jenkins nailed consecutive 3s for a 57-39 lead. Jenkins scored 11.
Unable to handle Villanova's hand-in-the face D, the Explorers totally lost their way in the second half. They committed six turnovers on the first eight possessions and had 10 in the half at the 7:13 mark, well above their 9.9 per game average.
La Salle may have been the best team in Philly hoops this season. A year after a surprising trip to the NCAA tournament, the Wildcats have clearly wrested that title again.
"They're an infinitely better basketball team than they were eight months ago," Giannini said. "Each person on that team is just better."
They did it without much production from their two leading scorers. Pinkston (17.8 points) scored only seven and Bell (17.6) had just three. Hilliard bettered his 13.8 average and Hart only averaged eight. Hilliard had 6 of 11 shooting from the floor and 8 of 9 from the free-throw line.
"Once we had pretty good separation, our depth was a factor," Wright said.

"The balloons hail a great night for... all of us."Many game shows throw over-the-top celebrations for their big winners. Often the hapless contestant is showered with confetti, balloons, the cash they just won, etc. and a couple of examples leave you wondering if they're going to burn the studio down. Seen on quite a few game shows in The Seventies and The Eighties, but became a staple of the multi-million dollar game shows and large-scale talent search shows of The Aughties.
