Garth Brooks inducted into Country Music Hall of Fame
Brooks was formally made a member of the prestigious organization in Nashville, Tennessee and to help celebrate the Grammy winner's big night, Taylor, Strait, and Bob Seger all performed in his honor and delivered rousing speeches.
Moved by the event, Brooks said, "When I came out here, (singer) Vince Gill looked at me and said this will be the greatest day of my life, and he was right. It was the best day of my professional life."
Fellow inductees Connie Smith and Hargus 'Pig' Robbins were also feted at the Medallion Ceremony by their close friends, Ronnie Dunn and Lee Ann Womack, respectively.
Smith added, "I kind of feel like I deserve it the least because I didn't aim for it, I just wanted to sing and feed my kids. I feel like this was God's destiny for me, to be a girl country singer."
Pianist Robbins was also delighted to be recognized by his peers, adding, "I'm very honored to go in with Connie since I played on her first records, and with the mighty Garth, of course."

We get a lot of mail at NPR Music, and amid the debt-consolidation offers is a slew of smart questions about how music fits into our lives — and, this week, our ideas for songs that fathers and daughters can dance to at weddings.
Célèste Brott writes: "I'm trying to pick a father-daughter dance song for my wedding, but most of the suggestions I come across make me gag. They fall mostly into the category of 'What an angel she is'-type songs, or are too sentimental about 'What a great dad he was.' I want it to be something we both love, and that we can dance to. Something that hits the right sentimental note, sure, but isn't sappy or impersonal. Any ideas?"
Picking any music for a wedding is weirdly fraught, particularly if you're the sort of person whose taste in love songs — or taste in love, for that matter — runs toward the complex and compromised. Weddings are about absolutes, and love songs that express absolute emotions (permanence, certainty) have a tendency to come off as mawkish or excessively sentimental. Throw in the unconditional love between a parent and a child, and … hoo boy, that narrows down the options. I've been taking my daughter to "daddy daughter dances" since she was barely old enough to run around, and have yet to hear anything there that conjures up images of her future wedding day. (THANK GOD.)
That said, since before she was born, I've had the exact right song picked out for this very occasion, should it arise — a song that has been laying waste to my defenses since I first heard it almost exactly 10 years ago. I've been playing it for my kids since way before they can remember, and my 8-year-old daughter still listens to it as part of our bedtime ritual virtually every night.
With apologies to those who've heard me prattle about this song before, Clem Snide's "Find Love" is, in all seriousness, perfect; I have listened to it hundreds if not thousands of times, and if anything, it's only grown on me. Heard in the context of a parent's love — of deeply humane advice and wishes for a child, regardless of his or her age — it says everything. Take chances. Put yourself out there. Face the world with a generous heart. Live your life. Make the world your own. "Find love, and then give it all away."
That said, that's my choice; while you're welcome to swipe it for your own purposes, the important thing is to pick something that suits you and your specific relationship. Reader suggestions, song picks and wedding stories are more than welcome in the comments section.
Nick Faris writes: "A friend recently posted a picture of her old Ace of Base cassette tape. I'll admit that when that album came out, I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes. But if I saw that same sign for the first time today, I don't think my eyes would open nearly as much as they once did, if at all. So my question is, would you rather outgrow or grow old with the music you currently love?"
Well, there's no reason you can't do both: You can recognize what was silly or schlocky about songs you once loved, and understand what has caused them to age even more poorly than I have and yet still hold them close to you as triggers for happy memories. In part because of my job, I rarely go back and dust off the music I loved as a kid, but I still hold on to those records and think of them fondly — whether they were gateways into more adult tastes (Tracy Chapman's fantastic first record) or emblems of embarrassing adolescent episodes (yeah, I'll admit it: Chicago 18).
Given the choice, I would much rather outgrow my favorite music — and, on most days, much rather hear something new than something old. The sense of discovery is intoxicating: It keeps us young and enthusiastic, and wards off the disease of perpetual discouragement; of thinking that nothing is as good or fresh or inventive or exciting as it was back when we were open to amazement.

Logger heads
Toward the end of the 18th century, an influential Austrian neuroanatomist named Franz Joseph Gall developed a theory that suggested distinct areas of the brain's cerebrum physically housed distinct mental faculties, such as emotions, moral impulses and intellect. Gall believed that these areas grew and shrank with use, resulting in bumps on the skull that could be felt, measured, analyzed and mapped.
The resulting study of phrenology became wildly popular for a time – and notorious as people used it to wrongly label others as "criminals" or to justify racist notions. Phrenology was eventually dismissed as quackery, but Gall did introduce the first modern theory ascribing different mental functions to different parts of the cerebrum. He got the details wildly wrong, but the overall concept was headed in the right direction. Today, researchers use a variety of technologies to map the location of cognitive functions throughout the brain, not the skull.

Ben Crystal Archive
Ben Crystal is a 1993 graduate of Davidson College and has burned the better part of the last two decades getting over the damage done by modern-day higher education. He now lives in Savannah, Ga., where he has hosted an award-winning radio talk show and been featured as a political analyst for television. Currently a principal at Saltymoss Productions—a media company specializing in concept television and campaign production, speechwriting and media strategy—Ben has written numerous articles on the subjects of municipal authoritarianism, the economic fallacy of sin taxes and analyses of congressional abuses of power. Email this author.
The Desert Rat
Barack Obama campaigned for the Presidency on a platform which included proud opposition to what he called a "dumb war." He was FOR the War in Afghanistan; and AGAINST the War in Iraq. But now, he's FOR a war against a "petty dictator" whose military "is a fraction of its former strength…"
Missing The Message
Now that the Nobel Prizewinning President Barack Obama—who campaigned for the White House on fervent opposition to two wars—is leading the United States into a third conflict involving the "Religion of Peace," perhaps this isn't the best time to bring this up. However, timing has never been my strong suit.
Duty Calls
As Japan faces a long, costly road to recovery, battles continue to rage across the Middle East, the American economy continues to flounder and Democrats are beginning to threaten active violence against their opponents—including death threats against Wisconsin's governor and legislators and Tea Party leaders who have committed the unpardonable sin of standing up to the Democrat Party's union thug accomplices.
One Tough Mother…
To listen to the kids at Greenpeace, Earth First! and the International Philosophers for Peace and Prevention of Nuclear Omnicide, we (but not they) are the single greatest threat to life (and magnificently monikered hippie groups) on our big blue marble in space.
Give The People What They Want
In the March 7 edition of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, liberal columnist Eugene Kane fired another salvo at the Democrat Party's target-du-jour, Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. In the piece "Scott Walker, Charlie Sheen: In the same boat?" Kane compares Walker to the erstwhile star of the sitcom "Two and Half Men."
The Rush Is On
On the afternoon of March 2, Arid Uka murdered two American service personnel during an attack at the Frankfurt International Airport. In the days following the attack, German officials identified Uka—who evidently shouted "Allahu Akbar!" as he fired—as a "quickly radicalized" Muslim and a part of a known network of al-Qaida sympathizers.
Peace In Our Time
At least two nations have brazenly begun developing nukes since Obama took up residence in the White House. So… how's that world without nukes working out for you, Mr. President?

RGIII & Strasburg
Sitting on my couch last weekend, it was readily apparent that RGIII was hurting. After a couple quick scores in the first quarter he spent the rest of the game hobbling and limping his way around the field, valiantly trying put his team on his shoulders until this happened:
It was painful enough watching him hobble around the field for most of the game but that ankle/knee disaster is rough to watch. Even more so learning about all the drama surrounding his knee. It had come out earlier in the day that Shanahan had lied about RGIII being cleared to play the prior week by team orthopedic Dr. Andrews. The fact that he was never even given any type of physical assessment seems negligent at best. Here's a potential franchise player that could make the Washington Football Club serious contenders for years to come, and the team treats his long-term health as secondary to the short-term glory of winning a playoff game. Also this is but one example of the machismo that permeates professional football. If you're a man you'll go out and play despite whatever little pussy injuries you think may have. This is one of the reasons why football players are developing dementia at 40. Congrats! (Contrast this with the push-back in baseball over the last couple years regarding collisions at home plate. You have had everyone from writers to managers talking about how dumb home plate collisions are. There's nothing manly about taking one for the team and being subsequently injured for the rest of the season.) This whole incident made me think of the Strasburg saga that took DC by storm last September, and appreciate a bit more what the Nationals did.
There's many arguments that can be made about how the Nationals used Strasburg throughout the year (other options included using him in the pen for the first few months, starting his season in May instead of April, or skipping starts throughout the year to keep his innings limit down) and the arbitrary innings limit–160 instead of 170 or 180 etc–but there's virtually no argument to be made about their vision for the team. The Nats decided that they would prefer to be contenders for the World Series for the next 4-5 seasons while they still have their core in place rather than push their star in his first season back from TJ surgery. As it is they came 1 strike away from winning the NLDS without Strasburg and the NL East will be significantly weaker this year (Mets still suck, Marlins rebuilding, Phils 1 year older, Braves still good). The Nationals now have both Strasburg and Zimmermann, not to mention a hopefully healthy and effective Haren, fully healed and ready to lead the rotation. Add in the rest of their core and they could win the division or qualify for a wild-card 3-4 times in the next 5 years. That's a long-term vision for making your franchise viable. It's something that the best franchises in sports are good at. Then you have the Washington Football Club, which always seems to make decisions in the hopes of some short-term success and viability mostly to their detriment.
Things are looking up for the team that actually plays their games in DC. How many days until pitchers and catchers again?

CRYSTAL SPRINGS, MS (WLBT) - A massive fire broke out in the Crystal Springs downtown area early Monday morning. The fire started around 1 AM In the one hundred block of South Jackson Street. Smoke billowed, flames raged, embers flew in the air as the historic buildings burned to the ground. Among the businesses destroyed: an alteration shop, a framework business and Mr. D's Restaurant.
"Very vital to the city of Crystal Springs" said Mayor Arthur Evans. "The building has been here since the city has been here. Mr. D's been in business for several years."
The mayor says one person was actually inside some apartments up above the Trinity Café. Firemen were able to go in, get him out. a
We found John Hale, standing and watching everything he owned burn.
"(my wife) Just blew the horn and hollered fire." said Hale. "Because right there where the water is going in, right there where that air conditioner is that's our bedroom and I walked to the window and heard her screaming fire, so we got what we could get and came downstairs."
A staple in the downtown community since 1927 also burned. Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Jim Kitchens says the Masonic Lodge Number 452 is no more.
"I'm so sad about all of those businesses and the people who are affected by it" said Justice Kitchens. "But that old lodge meant a lot to a great many people in this town for a long time."
And so did the Trinity Café that also housed the Grace Bible Mission.
"My bible was in there and I wanted to get my bible out" said Trinity Cafe co-owner Debbie Roberts. "But they wouldn't let me go back. (My Bible is) very important. It has a lot of memories, a lot of important dates in there. I wanted my bible but my heart goes out to the folks who lived upstairs. They lost everything. The hale family lost everything they had."
"We alive" Hale added. "That's the main thing."
Meantime, the massive inferno knocked out power to the area. And by daybreak as residents came out to gaze at the burned structures, school officials decided to close shop because there was no lights.
Later in the morning, Mayor Evans told us Entergy was on site and workers had almost completely restored power.

The sauce was so good I'm still dreaming about it now! Yum. The only thing I will do differently next time is to use breasts and thighs instead of thighs and legs. Oh! and cook the carrots for longer -- many were still hard. I made it the night before, and put it in the fridge overnight....reheated in oven next day, then finished the sauce to serve. Great make ahead recipe.
Champagne-Browned Butter Chicken

CherylMD Posted: 09/17/12
This was FANTASTIC. The sauce was the key. I had decided the recipe MUST be wrong when it said to put it in the oven uncovered, but the recipe was right, I think. Ours was good but the coating wasn't crispy anymore. I added extra potatoes and doubled the mushrooms, omitted the carrots.This was a little involved, but we did it for a holiday dinner and it was nice because the difficult part was early in the afternoon. My final comment--the recipe says cook 2 pieces of bacon and "set aside for another use"?? I am sure this is to make it more healthful, but honestly, those 2 pieces of bacon just wound up inside the chef! Not really more healthful. I also think you could easily do this with white wine if you did not have any champagne and you could do this on the stove instead of in the oven.
coyote36 Posted: 09/20/12
Outstanding recipe! Two tweaks. I halved the recipe for the two of us. Next time I will make it as is even if I halve the chicken. The sauce is that good. Second, I'd add the carrots right away and not wait 15 minutes into the oven time. They came out a little hard for my tastes. Other than that, this is a must try.
Program Posted: 01/12/13
Excellent flavor! But I do agree with another reviewer in that carrots were undercooked....even though I cooked them for the full hour
HappyVintner Posted: 09/18/12
Agree. This is a really great, satisfying recipe. The dog got our bacon but only because she gave me those eyes.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
In Spanish now, La escuela es muy buena. pero el personal es un poco anti profesional. Les hace falta tener mas contacto con los padres, en especial el grupo de After School...Son muy groseras. Gracias, espero q les sirva de ayyda.
Best Charter in town! Love the rules! Love the disipline and the way how the staff support all kind of krasy parents, lol... My kids and my housband love everything in there too. Nice activities and nice advanced classes.
WORST SCHOOL EVER ! Not recommended for high school. No scholorships and the electives suck. Don't come here for high school. The rules are super ridiculous, as in you get in trouble for everything. Teachers expect respect from students when they disrespect them themselves. Few teachers are great. Most of the staff is rude, don't know what their doing, and they lie a lot. I'm very disappointed in Somerset. They were so great when they started a few years ago and now things are going down hill.
My husband and I are very happy with the school. My kids are happier! Parking in the morning is good as well in the afternoon better than other schools. They update their website very often which I love that. Teachers are very caring and organize. After school care my kids like it a lot! I don't understand the bad comments that parents made of the school before. The school is very secure. Something I believe they should have is a gym or an auditorium. I see the school getting better every year.
My child is new at this school. The people leading the school are amazing. The Principal is so caring and so Is the new young counselor, Mrs. Zuckerman. My daughter was upset the first day and the counselor calmed her down and made her feel so Much better. I'm so happy I found a school that cares.
Great school amazing teachers... Read previous reviews and disagree parents complain about a change in administration and new rules... All the rules are for the better... We need to teach children take account for their actions and the new policies do that. Having to get off the car to sign a student in because they are tardy happens in every school, and I promise the first time it happened was the last... My son made sure to set his alarm earlier to avoid the embarrassment.. Job well done.. So glad to see positive change
I am disappointed with this school they changed the administration and not much improvement. I call the school and people never seem to have any information and cant communicate with you in english. They have a lot of ridiculous rules and dont worry about the most important thing which is education. The middle and high schools students dont have motivation. All they do is ask for money for everything. And speaking to an administrator is like asking to speak to the president of the United States. Think twice about removing your student from a public school to this they dont have the Gifted program.This school leaves a lot to be desired. The Elementary is amazing runs smoothly great administrator and amazing teachers.
This is the 4th year of my daughter in this school. the first two years were great!! Everything started to go down the last two years: crowded classrooms, screaming teachers, of course behavioral problems as a consequence and very poor communication with the teachers. Now this year with the new elementary school building and the EXTREME DISORGANIZATION, especially during drop off, is bordering the absurd. Everyday I have to literally exercise my patience with staff who don't reinforce their own rules, parents who are very rude and at the end I don't know if its even worthy...honestly the school is not such a great school for my daughter or me to bear this stress every morning. The new building has MAJOR parking issues, they don't accommodate the parents and students who are ultimately the reason why the school is functioning. Please, look for a better solution in regards to the above mentioned problem, otherwise you'll see the enrollment numbers dropping dramatically...there are other very good and better planned schools around the area.
I used to be very satisfied with this school until recently. My son who was recently diagnosed with ADHD has been attending this school for two years. In the last six months he has had numerous incidents and I have asked the school to work with him and I (since they are certified teachers). I have been told to put him on medication, and everything. I was also told by the principal (whom I have NEVER met) that maybe he is having outbursts because I work too much and don't spend enough time with him. I was super ticked off because my husband is disabled and I have to work long hours to support my family. I cannot wait to transfer him to another school because they are a bunch of two faced liars. There is one assistant principal (female) that is amazing....the rest of the staff needs to retrain!!!1
This school tries hard to work with the children and the parents. They offer a good program and they have an excellent principal and teachers. Its a bit crowded but all the Homestead area charters are crowded and all have long waiting list. This one is so close to the base and lots of military children that get moved around the nation. I think the school get an A in effort.
I have to say that even though they are over crowded in the classroom, the teachers, staff and Asst. principle Ms. Mongeotti-Greer is the best. They really care about the students. They are finally building the second building and wll be moving K-5 to the new location, which will better furnish the youngsters. I am so happy with the staff and how they care for both my children. I do feel they need to improve on the quality of food and give more variety.
Excellent teachers Strong principal/school leadership Challenging academic programs You name it this school will bend over backwards for it's students. The only complaint is that the lunch could taste better and have more variety
I think the school is asking for too much money they ask for money almost every day with three kids is imposible,everything for this school is about money.Also they have too many student in the same classrooms they dont have enough classrooms for the amount of sudents.
ok ok so many ppl hate the school or really like it..big whoop why not ask if your child likes the school. most of these parents dont ask how their child feels about the school and etc. school is good and bad..the bad thing is this tacky uniform i mean its so out of style . we have to pay for our children to wear jeans thats just whack..and they are to strict with the jackets ..about thirty kids got in trouble for wearing a diff jacket..its just a dumb jacket...and some teachers are nice bt some of them are to mean..they have favoritism and thats nt fair we should be all treated fairly..the principal should give us better lunches man were paying three dollars for this nasty food they should have more varieties and better healtheir lunches..a
if you want a good education for your child you has to pay, i love the school because the uniform its great and the rules are excelent for parent and student because the student learn responsability. i would recomend this school to anyone.
I think the school is a great school there will always be room to improve things that we can do to suport the school and the studants which I am willing to do.
This school is just beginning it's 3rd year. My kids have been there since the beginning. At first, I thought I was paying for everything, book deposit, jean day, field day, etc. It bothered me. I know charter schools require a certain amount of volunteer hours our monetary dontaion, so I was ok with that, but the other stuff, come on. But as the years have progressed, I have seen the changes the principal has made at the school, and now I don't mind. She has made very positive changes within in the school. I don't mind giving the money when I see all the good it is doing for the school. Especially now, with the economic crunch, the schools are taking the cuts, but this school is still moving forward. My kids are so happy here. My now 8th grader, has had perfect attendance for the past two years.
This is a grteat shcoll .Am a student at the school an teacher are really nice and freindly. it kinnda expensive for my parents.
if you want to go to this school you dont just have to be accepted but you also need lots and lots of $$$$$.Whatever you do involving the school you better bring your wallet.You have to pay for you childs books and its not only the money but also the ridiculous rules.For example if you have to miss class for some reason like a death in your family you must bring the cirtificate of death!!!I mean what do they care who it was that is personel they dont need to see that.And the only reason that the parent participation is so high is because all of the money coming out of our pockets.And the uniforms are so old fashioned.I mean what child of this century would want to wear a white button shirt with a tie(girls and boys) and no kakkies or capries and all black shoes, laces, and socks.I wouldnotrecomendthisscooltoanyone
this school is to much money and all it does is tell you to more and more things i dont recamend

Putting out feelers
Apache Ant looks to Java 9 with new release
Java library and command-line tool Apache Ant (short for 'Another Neat Tool') has reached version 1.9.4 status. Although the paint has barely dried on Java 8, the Ant colony is already marshalling its forces in preparation for Oracle's next big release with Ant 1.9.4, which provides initial support for Java 1.9.
Along with a multitude of bug fixes and tunings, Apache Ant 1.9.4 also comes with functionality for running JUnit test in multiple threads when they are forked. Ant's test suite has been refactored, and is now based on JUnit 4.
Due to the extreme flexibility of the tool, Ant doesn't impose coding conventions or directory layouts to the Java projects utilizing it in their builds. Indeed, one of Ant's key strengths is the high degree of freedom it gives devs when putting together a build. It can also be linked with Apache Ivy for software initiatives looking for a solution with a blend of build tool and dependency management.
Originally designed as a basic platform-independent tool for building Tomcat from directives in an XML "build file", version 1.1 of Ant made its debut as a stand-alone product in 2000. Although it looks a lot like a Java fuelled Make (and it was in fact designed in part to solve the latter's portability issues), the biggest difference is that Ant uses XML for describing the build process to Make's respective Makefile format.
Over the years, Ant has attracted a loyal following, and its fans are 'semi-religious' in their conviction when the 'Apache Maven versus Ant' debate inevitably arises. Whilst Maven is a less complex alternative to the tool, both tend to work best in distinctively different use case scenarios. A nice middle ground is offered by Groovy-based system Gradle, which sits somewhere between the two.
Regardless of your allegiance, if you're interested in finding out what's new in Ant, you can find source and binary distributions are on the Apache Ant download pages: http://ant.apache.org/bindownload.cgi and http://ant.apache.org/srcdownload.cgi.

Does Your Brand Have Five Stars?
by Sarah Larcker on Jul 23, 9:17 AM
It's more important than ever that brands are aware of what's being said about them in the social space, and that these perceptions are accurately reflected in brand assets and advertising, since any misalignment has the potential for backlash -- and it can come in the blink of an eye.

Tap Into IPad's Marketing Power
by Chad Capellman on Jul 2, 9:18 AM
Picture this: You've been trying to get time to visit with a doctor in his office to speak with him about the newest offering from your pharmaceutical company. He's busy. He gives you the run-around. The whole time you're talking, he's thinking about other things. He quite possibly resents that you're there, which means he resents *you*.

Who could deny that face?1 Reviews
Franks POV
"Gerard, it's okay. You're safe now." I gently rock him as i cling to him, my lips brushing his head and trying desperately to kiss away every single tear. He's crying so much and it's so tough to see but i have to help him, i wouldn't want to leave hm with anybody else right now. I just want him next to me so i can try to stop his pain. "Frankie... they...they.." He struggled to get his words out, wailing all the while, the realisation of what had happened to him. It didn't take a genius to figure it out. I wanted to go to Eliza now and kill her and that freak of a friend she brought along to hurt my Gee. I was crying now too. How could somebody do this to someone else? Why? What had Gerard ever done but be a good boyfriend to Eliza? Sure he was using her for his benefit but he spoiled her rotten, showered her with gifts and religiously called her everyday or paid her a visit. He even paid for her to go to a concert with some guy he'd never met, he brought them both tickets yet he didnt go himself. Her repatment was brutal. He was in bits. He couldn't even speak right now. It's like part of him has gone.
" Gee,,," I kiss his hair again holding him even tighter, pulling him in to my chest more. He wraps his legs around my waist and both crying, we stay there just like that as the sun begins to set.
Next chapter will be Gees road to recovery and his new relationship beginning with Frank! Hoping to bring some luck to those wonderful boys! Thankyou for reading! :) xx

PALMYRA, Ind. (WDRB) -- One of the F-5 tornadoes that spun through Kentuckiana on April 3, 1974 was eerily similar to the path of the Henryville tornado in March 2012.
The tornado was on the ground for more than 60 miles before lifting north of Henryville. But the storm went on to produce five more violent tornadoes as it ripped through parts of Hanover, Madison and Cincinnati.
WDRB meteorologist Jeremy Kappell and his sister once played in a tree, that is now twisted and mangled -- one of the few remnants left from the violent storm.
"For April, it was extremely warm -- it was like 84 degrees, 83 degrees. It was humid," said Jackie Armstrong, Jeremy Kappell's mother.
"It was sunny just like it is today, just as calm as could be," said Palmyra resident Eddy Hendricks.
But all that changed by the afternoon.
"It was very, very discernable, because it was the only cloud out. It was a day like today except for that one," said Palmyra resident Harvey Trowbridge.
"Just a big 'ol black cloud, real big," said Henry Armstrong, Jeremy's grandfather.
"This cloud was so low that I could almost touch it. I mean I felt like I could almost touch it," said Jackie Armstrong.
The ominous storm cloud was more than it appeared.
"Even at that time, I didn't realize that there was a tornado on the ground," Trowbridge said.
"I asked Dad, I said 'Have you ever seen anything like this before?', and he said no. And we just knew that we had to leave -- immediately," Jackie Armstrong said.
With Henry Armstrong driving, the family piled into the car.
"Immediately, as soon as we got to that highway, the wind coming across the road started shaking the back of the car. And I was sitting in the back seat and said 'Dad, you've got to go faster. It's coming, it's coming, you got to go faster.' He said,' I've got it all the way to the floor, this is all it's going to do.' But the wind was just taking it from side to side like that for about a mile and we out run it," Jackie Armstrong said.
But not before the family watched the storm destroy the body shop down the street.
"All of a sudden the roof started coming down. The walls came in," Hendricks said.
"It flattened the building all the way down. The only thing that was left was the bathroom."
Fortunately for Hendricks, that is where he had taken shelter.
Meanwhile, Palmyra resident Alice Rall was home cooking dinner when the storm arrived.
"All of a sudden the house started shaking," she recalled. "My china was started to fall out of the china cabinet."
"When I felt the house starting to fall apart. I ran outside," she said. "The first thing I saw was my car sitting there and I thought, there's safety."
As soon as she got in, the car started tumbling across the property. A two by four crashed through the back window.
"I count my blessings daily because that two by four, had I not been laying down on that seat at the time, would have hit me."
Her family was next door when the storm picked up their home and ripped it apart.
It was like someone put a bomb on it and all of a sudden it just shattered," she said.
When Kappell's family returned, they were shocked at what they saw.
"There was five houses up on the highway right in front of our property. And I remember there was nothing left but the concrete slabs. Not a stick of wood anywhere," Jackie Armstrong said.
"They were all gone. Nothing left but the foundation. It looked like a giant broom had descended from heaven and swept them all clean," Henry Armstrong said.
Unfortunately, the storms destroyed their homes as well. However, it could have been much worse.
"If we had been 30 seconds later, we may not be here at all," Jackie Armstrong said.
Rall lost a horse and one of her cows ended up under her house.
"But I had three horses left and five calves left, and we were alive," she said.

There's a long tradition of Canadian Football League coaches and general managers bemoaning the lack of quality Canadians to fill out their rosters, a complaint that grows louder each season as injuries mount.
Which is why, despite its relative lack of star power, the upcoming CFL Draft (Thursday at 3pm et/Noon pt on TSN and TSN.ca) is such a critical part of building a winner in three-down football.
But these days, CFL teams must deal with something which their predecessors a generation ago rarely, if ever, had to be concerned about: losing the best Canadian talent to the National Football League.
Back when the Edmonton Eskimos were in the midst of their Grey Cup dynasty in the last 1970s, there was one Canadian – Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Roy Gerela – playing in the NFL. Among those who'd played high school football in Canada there were none; Gerela had played his in Hawaii before moving on to New Mexico State.
Which means that Gerela aside, all of the very best Canadian football players played in the CFL.
Compare that to today where, after the drafting of Boise State defensive end Tyrone Crawford (Windsor, ON) and Baylor centre Philip Blake (Toronto) there are likely to be at least 15 Canadians on NFL active and practice rosters by the start of the 2012 season, and possibly more.
That's like removing an entire team of elite Canadian players from the CFL and asking teams to backfill with marginal prospects who need years of development to become pro-ready.
There are several reasons why Canadians in the NFL are no longer such a rarity.
Until the mid-1980s, the salary disparity between the CFL and NFL was often insignificant. And in fact, because of the value of homegrown talent to CFL teams, Canadian players could often make more money starting in the CFL than they could as backups in the NFL (By comparison, the NFL rookie minimum salary today is $390,000 and even players on NFL practice rosters take home $97,000, far more than any Canadian CFL rookie will make).
But the degree of Canadian talent and the chance to make far more money in the NFL means that for two consecutive seasons, the outstanding Canadian in the CFL – Andy Fantuz a year ago and Jerome Messam this season – has signed in the NFL (Fantuz was cut after a short stay with Chicago, returned to Saskatchewan, and recently signed a free agent contract with Hamilton).
Another factor is that a lot of young Canadians grow up these days focused on making the NFL, going to great lengths to close the gap between themselves and young American players, with extra coaching and training, playing summer-league football or attending camps south of the border.
And then there's technology. A generation ago, a Canadian university player would have to be spectacular to attract the attention of NFL scouts. But today, with physical testing stats and video available everywhere via the internet, teams south of the border have a quick way to investigate Canadian prospects without ever leaving home.
NFL scouts aren't allowed to attend the CFL's Evaluation Camp where the best Canadian university players parade their talents. But they can all check out the results via the web.
Which is part of why there were a record six Canadian university players who signed NFL contracts in 2010.
The challenges this presents for CFL teams at this time of year are well documented. GM's are leery of wasting draft picks on players whose opportunities to make it in the NFL mean they may never play professionally in Canada (Danny Watkins, O.J. Atogwe, Israel Idonije and Nick Kaczur were all high draft picks of CFL teams that went to waste).
But it's a problem that only figures to get worse for CFL teams in the future, thanks to a small but significant change the NFL passed on Monday when it expanded its off-season rosters from 80 to 90 players per team.
While the size of NFL rosters remains the same (teams can carry 53 players and dress 45 on game days), there are now 320 more opportunities for players to sign south of the border.
That's likely to have a significant effect on players from the Canadian university level who sometimes have the physical assets to play in the NFL but lack the training and development to compete at that level right away. With 10 more invitations for training camp, teams can afford to take a flyer on those kinds of players.
Which means that trying to determine which Canadians will end up in the NFL just got a little bit tougher for CFL teams. And the chances they will have to wait on a particular draft pick for a minimum of 1-3 years just increased.
The growing number of Canadians earning a living in the NFL isn't a bad thing for Canadian football in general and certainly not for Canadian players who seek the kind of financial compensation available only in the NFL.
And it's something worth keeping in mind the next time you hear how hard it is in the CFL to find good Canadians.

Apple iPad Mini rumor roundup
Rumors continue to swirl about Apple's iPad Mini. The latest chatter suggests an Oct. 17 launch date.
Rumors that Apple (AAPL) is moving ahead with development of an iPad Mini continue to abound the Internet, and that's got folks speculating about what the device will look like and what features it's likely to include.
As a service to TheStreet's readers, we've decided to round up some of the more intriguing Apple iPad Mini chatter that's making the rounds in the blogosphere. Citing an unnamed investor source, CNNMoney reports that Apple will send out invitations Oct. 10 for the event, with the actual announcement coming Oct. 17.
Eric Jackson, co-founder at Ironfire Capital is positive on the prospects of an iPad Mini. "I think this is a slice of the tablet market that appeals to some users who want a smaller form factor to take with them on the go. I'm expecting the same functionality in a smaller form factor. I'm expecting it comes in at $299 making it pricier than Kindle and Google but with better functionality," Jackson said in an email with TheStreet.
This is what consumers could expect from the device, rumored to make its debut later this year:
What It Will Look Like
Several images of the device's potential appearance have already shown up on the Web.
Most expect the iPad Mini will have a screen size around 7-inches, as competitors such as Google (GOOG), Barnes & Noble (BKS), Samsung and Amazon (AMZN) try to attack the iPad's dominance. The iPad has 68% of the tablet market per IDC.
The smaller tablet may also be slightly thinner than the iPad 2, and have a similar thickness to the iPod Touch. The iPod Touch has a thickness of just 7.2 millimeters
It's also possible that Apple may include its A5X chip in the new device that is currently exclusive to the new iPad, as well as front and rear cameras. It's not yet known whether the smaller device would have Long Term Evolution (LTE) capabilities, Retina Display, or if it would come in multiple models, ala the iPad 2 and the new iPad.
The China Syndrome
Apple's competitors have been releasing smaller form-factor tablets as they try to take market share away from Apple, to no avail. Even Microsoft (MSFT) has entered the tablet market with its Surface tablet, as it seeks to compete with Apple. (Microsoft owns and publishes TechBiz, an MSN Money site.)
A smaller tablet would no doubt be less costly, and that could help Apple expand its presence, especially as China continues to play a larger role in the Cupertino, Calif.-based company's future.
Topeka Capital Markets analyst Brian White believes an iPad Mini would expand Apple's reach to price-sensitive customers and says some customers would likely enjoy the convenience of a smaller, lighter tablet. White also feels the education market would be "well suited" for a smaller iPad.
Channing Smith, portfolio manager at Capital Advisors Growth Fund, thinks the device could sell around $249 on the low end and notes it would give more consumers access to Apple's products.
"The [iPad] Mini expands Apple's addressable market worldwide, especially in developing markets where lower-priced products take the lion's share of the market share," said Smith, who disclosed that Apple is the largest holding in the Capital Advisors Growth Fund, in an email to TheStreet.
Analysts have begun to include the iPad Mini in their sales estimates, further adding credence to the rumor that the device is forthcoming. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster wrote in a recent research report Apple could sell anywhere between 4 million and 6 million units of its rumored iPad Mini in the holiday quarter.
With analysts baking the device into sales projections, leaks from the supply chain, and various newspaper reports hinting at the device, it certainly looks like Apple is cooking up a smaller iPad. And given Apple's penchant for producing hits, this recipe could be as tasty as Mom's apple pie.

With Summer temperatures climbing throughout the area health experts want you to keep several things in mind while you are out in the sun.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says during hot Summer weather you need to be drinking more nonalcoholic fluids, no matter how much you are exercising. They also say don't wait until you're thirsty to drink. You need to be hydrating throughout the day when temperatures are high. They also say you want to avoid alcoholic beverages, or drinks with a lot of sugar. They say these drinks actually cause you to lose more body fluid. They also say you should avoid very cold drinks because they can cause stomach cramps.
The CDC says people suffer heat-related illness when their bodies are unable to cool themselves properly. They say in extreme heat a person's body temperature rises very fast and very high body temperatures can damage the brain or other vital organs.
Health experts say you need to do whatever you can to keep your body cool. So their best advice is to stay indoors in an air-conditioned place. If you don't have air conditioning they suggest you go to the mall or a store or even a library to spend some time in the air conditioning. They say this will help keep your body cooler when you go back out into the heat. They also say electric fans might make you feel better but when the temperature is in the high 90s, fans will not prevent heat-related illness. Your best bet is to take a cool shower or bath, or move to an air conditioned place. When you are outside experts say make sure you are wearing lightweight, light-colored, loose-fitting clothing.
Experts say anyone can suffer from a heat-related illness, but some of those at the greatest risk are infants and young children, people 65-years-old and older, and people who have health problems like heart disease or high blood pressure.
If you do need to be out in the heat experts say try to limit your outdoor time to morning and evening hours. They also say you need to be careful how much you are exercising. If you must exercise they say drink two to four glasses of cool, nonalcoholic fluids each hour. A sports beverage can replace the salt and minerals you lose in sweat. Try to rest often in shady areas so that your body's thermostat will have a chance to recover. Protect yourself from the sun by wearing a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses and by putting on sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher. The CDC says the most effective products say "broad spectrum" or "UVA/UVB protection" on their labels.
The CDC says even in cool temperatures, cars can heat up to dangerous temperatures very quickly. Even with the windows cracked open, interior temperatures can rise almost 20 degrees Fahrenheit within the first 10 minutes. The CDC says anyone left inside is at risk for serious heat-related illnesses or even death. Children who are left unattended in parked cars are at greatest risk for heat stroke, and possibly death. Experts say you should never leave kids or pets in a parked car, even if the windows cracked open.

The 5 Least Likely Car Colors to Get a Traffic Citation
Law enforcement officers are responsible for enforcing driving laws and regulations to maintain the safety of all drivers and pedestrians on the roadways. Traffic citations are issued when an individual has violated any of these laws. Receiving a traffic citation may seem unwarranted at times. For instance, a vehicle that is following the flow of traffic with several other vehicles and he or she is the only one pulled over for the speeding violation may seem unfair. Subconsciously, there may be several psychological factors that police use to determine who the best candidate to receive the citation is.
The color of a vehicle may inadvertently convey certain characteristic traits about the individual driving it. Whether the association of the color and the personality is accurate or not, the automatic assumption may be unavoidable. For instance, the color red may be associated with high energy and speediness. People who drive red cars may be automatically labeled as an aggressive individual that demands instant gratification and attention from others. The five least likely car colors to receive a traffic citation listed below may provide a better understanding of the psychology of color.
5. White
The color white portrays purity and inexperience. Just as it is used as the traditional color for a wedding dress, a white vehicle may also exhibit a sense of innocence. The color white is compatible with most vehicle designs and may be considered the safest color due to the high visibility at night as well as during the day.
4. Brown
Brown is a classic color that may exude a down-to-earth type of personality. Safety and practicality are also associated with this color. It is often overlooked as it does not draw much attention on the highway. Brown cars are also very efficient at hiding dirt and there are many shades of brown to choose from making it easy to find a shade that fits well with the vehicle and the personality of the individual driving it.
3. Green
The color green promotes serenity and a sense of optimism. Individuals driving green vehicles may be seen as having an agreeable nature. The sense of loyalty and tranquility associated with the color green may persuade others to think the driver is responsible, fun-loving and in control. Owning and driving a green-colored vehicle may evoke feelings of goodness and support feelings of happiness and confidence.
2. Blue
Similar to green, the color blue is associated with happiness and harmonious emotions. Drivers that gravitate towards a blue color are likely to be calm and have a positive outlook on life. These qualities make drivers of blue vehicles seem responsible and careful in regards to driving. This is true for almost all shades of blue ranging from light blue to metallic.
1. Gray or Silver
One of the most popular colors out there, gray or silver may blend in more than any other vehicle color. The color silver demonstrates elegance and composure. Drivers of silver or gray-colored vehicles may be thought of as conscientious, hard-working and the average law-abiding citizen. One advantage of the silver-colored vehicle is the tendency to reflect any light emitted during nighttime hours making these cars more visible in the dark. In addition, silver or gray is the standard color for almost every make and model which gives buyers a wider variety to choose from when shopping for a new vehicle.

The Electoral College actually never gathers together for a meeting. The Electors who American voters chose on Election Day last month will meet on December 17th in their respective state capitals. The Electoral College meets to officially cast their votes on the first Monday after the second Wednesday of December following Election Day.
While each state has their own process for the meeting of their Presidential Electors, they don't differ all that dramatically. There are various formalities and for the casting of the votes and some strict protocols for officially sending the votes to state officials and then to Congress, which officially counts and certifies the Electoral College results. That takes place in a Joint Session of Congress in early January and that responsibility is one of the first major actions of the new Congress. That means that, for the 2012 election, it will be the 113th Congress (which begins on January 3, 2013) instead of the 112th Congress (the Congress in office at the time of the 2012 election) which counts and officially certifies the Electoral College results. In our case, that's probably a good thing because if anybody could screw up counting the Electoral votes, it's the abysmal 112th Congress.
Interestingly, it is usually the Vice President, in his Constitutional role as President of the Senate, who presides over the Joint Session and the certification of the Electoral College results. Sometimes, that can lead to what must be an awkward and probably even somewhat heartbreaking experience of a Vice President presiding over the official certification of an election that he lost — something that has happened a few times recently: 1960 (Nixon, lost the Presidential election to Kennedy), 1968 (Humphrey, lost the Presidential election to Nixon), 1980 (Mondale, as Carter's running mate), 1992 (Quayle, as Bush's running mate), and, of course, 2000 (Gore, as famously seen in Fahrenheit 9/11.)

I thought this was really good. Added a bit more crushed red pepper for the heat. But overall I liked it.
Chicken Puttanesca

This was pretty terrible. Puttanesca is my mom's favorite pasta style, so I attempted to make it for her, but it was too much for me. The acidity of the olives is what killed it. And I wasn't brave enough to use the anchovy. I bought them, but was too disgusted to add them to the sauce. However, the rest of my family said it was ok and they were able to finish their plates.. So I might have an unusually low opinion of the dish.

Too Plain. Very disappointed. Needs more salt and more sauce. Too bad.

Decided to give this a try as it was featured as a 20 minute dinner and seemed perfect for a dinner party. It was quick and easy, and delicious to boot!

This was very delicious! The olives, capers, & anchovy provided just the right amount of saltiness. The only thing I would have done differently is to pound the chicken flat so it would cook more quickly and evenly.

My husband and I really enjoyed this recipe. We didn't have the capers or the anchovy fillet so we made the recipe without those, and it was tasty. It will probably be even better when we add the capers. I'm not an anchovy fan, so will probably always omit that.

Delish! I used anchovy paste instead of fillet. Really puts it over the top. For those that don't like anchovies, I guarantee you will not taste them but it completes the dish.
