Octomom's bikini car wash has been canceled - at least for now.
According to TMZ's report, the car wash which was set to happen next weekend is called off. Pity, too, as there was likely a long line of men waiting to ogle the mother of 14 in her bathing suit. Then again maybe there wasn't.
The event fell through when the deal they had struck with Melrose Strip Auto Detailing turned ugly. Apparently, Melrose Strip Auto Detailing was demanding $13 of the $20 that they had intended to charge for the car wash. Since they were not willing to part with that much of their profits, the car wash is dead.
The money raised at the car wash was intended to once again save Suleman's home from being foreclosed upon. This likely was only a temporary fix as this is not the first time that her home was in danger of foreclosure, and it likely will not be the last time either.
What she really needs is not small random events to raise cash, but a real, honest to goodness full-time income. Who does she think she is to be able to have 14 children and not to have to work to support any of them? She wanted all those babies, now she needs to step up to the plate and care for them.
Or, she could just look for another place to host her car wash.

Blowout, Day 4: Saturday Photos...
Blowout, Day 3: Friday Photos...
***Blowout, Day 2: Thursday Photos...
Blowout, Day 1: Launch Party Photos...
Hello folks!,
Welcome to the 2008 Metro Times Blowout Music Festival. The festivities are nigh! Please note: lineups are subject to change.
For starters, I'd like to thank everyone for applying to this year's event. Making the decision about who would be invited to play was — honestly — very difficult. We appreciate everyone taking the time to fill out the application form; if your band did not make it, we truly apologize. Don't fret. Making cuts is without a doubt the worst part of this job.
The good news: this year's lineup looks to be pretty spectacular. We are humbled and excited by the embarrassment of musical riches this town provides. Hopefully, attendees' worst complaint will be that we booked too many great bands and trying to see them all required fancy maneuvering. That is the goal. It should also be noted that we did our best to represent modernity, depth, breadth, classicism and old-school Detroit.
The planning part of the Blowout is overwhelming to be sure, but I'd like to share with you some insider fun. I'd like for you to experience a modicum of the hilarious, ultra-impressive and serendipitous music I came across while listening to the hundred of bands who applied. Please take a moment to check out these links (who knows, maybe you'll discover a band you hadn't originally planned on seeing at this year's Blowout.)
Mike Ivory, also known as SMOKE: we were especially amped-up by the song "The Pistons Lost."
Madame XD: Chinese pop rock.
Mick Bassett: all-encompassing excellent music.
The Budget Sinners: cowpoke rock 'n' roll courtesy on an ex-Salt Miner, Tim Pak.
Il Segreto String Quartet: orchestral electronic music.
Wildcatting: a personal favorite.
I'd like to give thanks and thumbs up to the following people: Drake Pfifer of Urban Organic, Jeff Howitt and Laura Willem of Loco Gnosis, Carey Gustafson, The Hard Lessons, Larry Garcia of Detroitcountrymusic.com, Nick Bataran of Doldrum Design, Mary Williams of Michigan Artists and Dale Wilson of the Four-Hour Friends.
Thanks again to everyone. I will see you at the bar.
Hamtown unite!,

Wiper motor buzz - wipers die - 98 K1500
98 GMC K1500 - wipers will quit randomly, usually late at night in a downpour on some busy highway or a backroad in the dead of night, and the motor/control panel under hood gives off a light buzzing noise. At first I could just give the wipers a wiggle and they'd start up again. Now I have resorted to going under the hood and wiggling the wiring harness at the wiper motor to get them to kick in. Seems to be getting worse and worse. When they do come on they're fine. I took it apart and cleaned the connections but they looked fine. There was a ton of red grease on the round ring thing that the relay points ride on but it was clean.
I'm doubting it's the motor itself - maybe the control module?? Or delay circuit thing. Anyone else ran into this problem?-Berg

Sounds exactly like the control module. I've got a '95 C1500 and this happened when it was about 5 yrs old and the problem wasn't widely known yet. A wiggle would fire them right off most of the time. After it got worse, I put a rebuilt wiper moter on it with the control board included and it was fine for about the next 8-9 years. Started doing it again last winter and had the same symptoms you not working and buzzing noise. At first I could wiggle them and they would work, then it got to where I had to hit the panel on the wiper motor and they would start. I put in a new board last summer (only about $30 and maybe 15min) and its working beautiful.
I also had the same thing you mention about the grease being everywhere on the inside. I'm not sure if its supposed to be that way or not. I cleaned up the grease around the board area and tried to 'contain' it to the screw that passed through the lower portion. I don't drive the truck a lot, maybe 500-1,000 miles a month but no problems in the last couple of months.
I'd pull the module, clean up the grease in there and put a new one in if it was mine.
Thanks Seph - pretty much what I was thinking too but good to have some confirmation. Never really notice the wipers aren't working during the summer! I'm going to swap in a new module tonight and see if that will cure it.
If you can solder, you can fix it yourself. Remove the circuit board and look for cracks in the solder where the connector is soldered to the board. Just re-melt the solder on those terminals and reinstall. Easy and cheap!
Good Luck and God Bless
I bought a new circuit board, only $30 and always in stock as they said it's a pretty common problem. However wipers have been working just fine for the last few rainy days... Figures. Once I get a little extra time I may swap it out anyway so it doesn't decide to die again on the freeway during a downpour.
I can solder ok from my old days doing RC cars but I'd rather not mess with it!
I've had two boards in my '96 "Burb, I now keep one in the shop because they ALWAYS go bad on a holiday weekend.:cool:

NORDIAZEPAM FOR SALE, As much as I eat vegetarian food, I've never enjoyed cooking tofu for myself. When I head out to (Thai) restaurants, buy NORDIAZEPAM online no prescription, What is NORDIAZEPAM, I love the way it is prepared, but my initial attempts at using it met with little success, NORDIAZEPAM pharmacy. Buy NORDIAZEPAM from mexico, My first attempt was after moving to Utah and experimenting in my brother's kitchen. I cut the tofu into as small of pieces as possible to ensure they were cooked through and crunchy, where can i cheapest NORDIAZEPAM online. Australia, uk, us, usa, It didn't work and looked even more like mush.
My sweetie has more recently fried it up after marinading it in random concoctions with slightly more success to my taste buds. But it still had the mushiness that did not mesh with my palate.
Finally, I had it, NORDIAZEPAM FOR SALE. I started to give it a lot of thought, discount NORDIAZEPAM, Buy NORDIAZEPAM online cod, and I finally came up with a game plan for making tofu I'd enjoy eating.
I'd heard years ago from a friend that pressing it with a plate helped drain the water from the tofu, so I awkwardly started with that.
[caption id="attachment_130" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="Using a wedge and a weight to drain the water from tofu is not so easy."][/caption]
It was a near disaster, order NORDIAZEPAM online c.o.d. NORDIAZEPAM pics, The wedge I used to drain started out too wobbly, so I switched to a hammer, buy cheap NORDIAZEPAM no rx, Where can i find NORDIAZEPAM online, with a rag to make it less likely to slip. Then, NORDIAZEPAM over the counter, NORDIAZEPAM canada, mexico, india, the plate worked fine, but I thought it'd be quicker to use additional weight to strain it faster, NORDIAZEPAM no rx. NORDIAZEPAM price, coupon, That resulted in one book in the sink and a couple of other items that nearly collapsed the whole thing. NORDIAZEPAM FOR SALE, Finally, I settled on just a plate and let it sit for 1.5 hours.
After doing that, I divided it up between "to be fried immediately" and "to be baked." I googled baking tofu and came up with a nice little recipe that included a bath in soy sauce, so I tried some brushed with soy sauce and some without. (And I decided to brush soy sauce on the not-baked tofu.)
Flipping at the halfway point, fast shipping NORDIAZEPAM, NORDIAZEPAM no prescription, 30 minutes seemed to do the trick for the baked tofu, so I readied a pan with some peanut oil and got my frying on, NORDIAZEPAM forum. Where can i order NORDIAZEPAM without prescription, With the exception of a couple of slices, I fried the baked tofu, online buy NORDIAZEPAM without a prescription, Japan, craiglist, ebay, overseas, paypal, and the others, and ended up with quite an array of tofu to taste.
[caption id="attachment_131" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="The tasting plate included marinated and not baked tofu, NORDIAZEPAM brand name, NORDIAZEPAM maximum dosage, fried and not baked tofu, and simply fried tofu."][/caption]
While there's little doubt in my mind that some baking goes into the tofu I usually taste in restaurants, generic NORDIAZEPAM, NORDIAZEPAM trusted pharmacy reviews, I did discover the drained and fried tofu definitely came out crispier than I've done in the past. And a little soy sauce makes for a nice treat on baked tofu, NORDIAZEPAM results, Buy cheap NORDIAZEPAM, whether it's fried or not.
And in the end, we were left with an empty plate.
[caption id="attachment_132" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="An empty plate is evidence that the experiments were a success."][/caption]
I got another block of extra firm tofu after the experiment. I was left with little time to strain, but I did so using just a plate. I baked slices of the block after brushing on an even mixture of soy sauce and chardonnay. I then threw smaller slices into my wonderfully delicious ginger stir fry, and successfully incorporated my experiment into a meal.
My arms are getting weak from a lack of kneading bread so I may dabble in some baking this weekend and report back. Happy cooking.

The Express-Star
Recently elected District 56 State Representative David Perryman is facing a hard road.
He's a freshman congressman in a governing body comprised of 98 Republicans and 41 Democrats. He narrowly won his own race and his a recent breakdown of votes by precincts shows an almost even bipartisan split.
Despite these oppositions, Perryman is not dissuaded from the task at hand.
"I want to do what is best for our district," he said. "I want to represent all voters and if I need to break party lines."
Grady County Democratic Party Chair Steve Cox said he was very pleased to see Perryman win the election.
"I was tickled," he said. "I have known him since 1992 and he has been a wonderful public servant as a lawyer."
Perryman said he plans to focus a good deal of his time on education policy, something Cox said should not be too difficult for the new representative.
"He's married to an educator, so he has interment knowledge of what teachers and students both need," he said,.
In addition to education, Perryman said he plans to address the general quality of life in district 56.
"I want to install broadband internet all over, so we can bring private businesses back to 56," he said. "I believe in crossing party lines and working with rural Republican representatives in to help with our current situation."
District 56 State Representative Joe Dorman said it will be nice to have to someone of a similar mind set to work with on legislative issues.
"We met this morning and discussed some controversial issues," he said. "We both want to work on conservation legislature and create education opportunities."
These issues shouldn't be too much of a problem for Perryman according to Cox.
"I know he will promote job growth and facilitate educational opportunities," he said.
Perryman will take office in January.

Apex, the new No. 1 team in The News & Observer high school boys' soccer rankings, was an impressive 3-0 winner against Panther Creek on Monday night, but it will face a bigger challenge Wednesdayagainst Green Hope in a Southwest Wake 4A matchup.
Athens Drive beat Green Hope 1-0 last week to knock the Falcons from the top spot in the N&O rankings.
Apex (10-0) has three shutouts and has allowed more than one goal only once. Athens Drive lost to Apex 4-2.
Athens Drive defeated Green Hope during the 2012 regular season, but Green Hope went on to win its third consecutive N.C. High School Athletic Association championship.
100 to remember: The NCHSAA's list of 100 male athletes to remember didn't create much of a stir last week. A special committee selected the former North Carolina high school players in celebration of the NCHSAA's Centennial. The committee had picked 100 female athletes, 100 coaches and 100 athletic administrators.
Athletes are the hardest to select because it is difficult to divorce post-high school accomplishments from the process.
Michael Jordan of Wilmington Laney, for example, seems to be an automatic pick to be among the top 100 of high school athletes in North Carolina, but if Jordan had not played in college or the NBA, it is unlikely he'd be considered for the list.
If the selection is based just on high school athletics, three-time NCHSAA golf champion Brendon Todd of Green Hope is an automatic pick.
Picking all-star teams is a thankless task.
Broughton Hall: Broughton will induct five members into it athletics hall of fame Oct. 25.
The class will include former athletics director Jack Spain; former principal Roy Teel; former and current team physicians Tom Dameron, Don Reibel, Jason McDaniels and Wally Andrews as a group; former soccer standout David Allred; and the 2006 and 2007 boys' soccer teams.
The 2006 and 2007 teams won state titles and the 2007 team was ranked No.1 in the country. The squads included the University of North Carolina's Scott Goodwin, who was the 2012 NCAA Academic Scholar Athlete of the Year in men's soccer, and Jeremy Shelley, who was a kicker for the national champion Alabama football team.
Caps win fast race: The top 19 boys broke 16 minutes in the adidas Cross Country Challenge last weekend at Wake Med Soccer Park in Cary.
Will Roberson (15 minutes, 19 seconds) was fourth and helped the Broughton boys to the team title. The Caps' John Dalton Rohr (15:42.5) and Asher Smith-Rose (15:47.4) were Nos.10 and 13. Mihret Coulter of Apex (15:30.6) and Ryan Brady of East Chapel Hill (15:31.6) were Nos.6 and 7.
Cardinal Gibbons, led by Nos.3 and 4 Mary Grace Doggett (17:54.8) and Sophie Ebihara (17:58.9), were second behind Blacksburg, Va., 69-114, in the girls' race. Eliza Dekker of Durham Academy (17:53.7) was second to Caroline Alcorta of West Springfield, Va. (17:18.7).
Millbrook takes second: The Millbrook boys and girls were second in the Hare and Hounds Invitational cross country meet last week in Charlotte. The boys finished behind St. Pius X of Georgia and the girls were behind Castle View. Emily Pettis was third in the girls' race.
Raleigh Grace, which has won two consecutive NCISAA 2A titles, finished 10th.
Gowarty wins: Savannah Gowarty of Sanderson won the individual title in the Carolinas Girls High School Challenge last week at Keith Hills Country Club in Buies Creek. Gowarty topped Leigha Holt of Holly Springs on the second playoff hole after they had each shot a 2-over-par 74.
Amanda Yannoni of Green Hope and Kendra Dalson of Heritage were selected to the all-tournament first team.
Charlotte Ardrey Kell won the team title, 249-250, over second-place Holly Springs.

There are those who believe former New York Giants coach Jim Lee Howell deserves to be forgotten. His star left halfback, Frank Gifford, has dogged the coach in a number of interviews, once offering, "He was good enough to know what he didn't know. All he did was blow the whistle and say, 'Everyone on the bus.'"
Howell, himself, often joked about the role he played during the years when Vince Lombardi and Tom Landry served as his offensive and defensive coordinators, respectively. "I just blow up the footballs and keep order," he'd say.
But Howell's contributions to the Giants and to his craft deserve a bit more credit than that. During his seven-year stint as New York's head coach (1954-60), the team never posted a losing record, and Howell's .663 winning percentage ranks 13th all time among coaches with at least 50 games.
It's widely accepted that Lombardi and Landry were wholly responsible for the offensive and defensive play-calling. Lombardi's simplistic approach — which he would later duplicate in Green Bay — overwhelmed Chicago in the 1956 NFL championship game, 47-7. Landry's innovative 4-3 defense — later perfected in Dallas — ranked no lower than fourth in the league in points allowed during his six years under Howell.
But let's not forget: The game has known head coaches who have had some of the game's best coordinators at their disposal, and yet were unable to keep their ship afloat. For keeping order, if nothing else, Howell deserves the right to lay claim to some of New York's success all those years, Hall of Fame assistants or not.
After finishing up an eight-year playing career for the Giants, Howell built Wagner College into a winner in 1949 with a 7-1-1 record — without Lombardi or Landry at his side. That success helped him find his way back to the Giants, for whom he served on Steve Owen's staff.
When Howell assumed the head-coaching job, one of his first tasks was to convince QB Charlie Conerly not to return to his Mississippi cotton farm. Conerly obliged and tossed 17 touchdown passes in 1954 (second most in the league).
That same year, Howell convinced Landry to be a player-coach; two years later Landry moved to the sideline full time. At the time, Lombardi was finishing up his fifth season at West Point. Giants owner Wellington Mara already had been familiar with Lombardi from their time at Fordham, but Howell gave the fiery coach his first NFL whistle.
Those decisions brought immediate improvement; the team upped its won-loss record by four games in Howell's first season. Maybe it had to do with another change Howell implemented.
"… Giants coach, Steve Owen, didn't like to fly," Gifford told the New York Times in 2009, "so we took the train everywhere, even to Los Angeles for our 1953 opener. Three and a half days. We stopped in Wichita to work out. … It was awful. We took the train to Pittsburgh, Washington, Chicago, Philadelphia and Cleveland that season, but that was Steve Owen's last year. After Jim Lee Howell took over in 1954, we flew."
The following year got off to a rough start. After New York jumped out to a 17-7 lead over rival Philadelphia in the season opener, the Eagles scored 20 unanswered points. New York dropped its first three games and was in too big of a hole to climb out of. Nevertheless the team gave Howell a two-year extension and it paid immediate dividends.
Howell's club raced to a 6-1 start in 1956, including three wins by 17 or more points. In Week Nine, the Giants hosted Paddy Driscoll's Bears and jumped out to a 17-0 lead. But two long Harlon Hill touchdown catches in the final quarter allowed the Bears to leave the Big Apple with a tie. Lesson learned. In the title game five weeks later, New York led 34-7 at half, leaving little hope for another Chicago comeback.
Gifford claimed the MVP with a career year (1,422 yards from scrimmage, nine touchdowns) and the Giants and Howell claimed the franchise's fourth title.
Three consecutive losses to end the 1957 season eliminated New York from the Eastern Division race. The following season, Howell's club beat the Browns in a divisional playoff before falling to the Colts, 23-17, in the game many credit for pro football's explosion.
America's first nationally televised NFL title game also signaled the end for Howell and the club he was building. Lombardi was granted permission to coach the Packers following the season, despite having time left on his contract (Mara often stated he fully intended to hire Lombardi back once Howell retired). After posting a 10-2 record in 1959, New York was clobbered by the Colts in a title-game rematch. Soon after, Landry left to mold the expansion Cowboys.
Howell had been itching to retire, but gave New York one more season; the team's 6-4-2 finish in 1960 (following a 5-1-1 start) only helped to convince him to move on. After announcing his retirement in December, Howell assumed the role of New York's director of player personnel — a post he kept until 1981 when he returned to his native Arkansas to pursue a career politics.
Overshadowed, disrespected and ignored, Jim Lee Howell's greatest crime was recognizing the gifts of two men who later would become legends.

First Lesson for the "New" Board
A corporation does not exist on behalf of its officers or board members.
The board has a responsibility to the membership of participation and disclosure. We are the "stockholders."
What occurred at the meeting tonight was an absolutely ridiculous sham. That is my opinion as a delegate of this corporation, and the shared opinion of many of the delegates who were attending the meeting online.
The board needs to understand that they have a responsibility to the membership, who are represented by the delegates. The constitution of the NCNCA calls for matters to be voted on and decided by the delegates; there is no provision for decisions beyond the setting of the agenda to be decided in closed session. Did you even take minutes of the session, or are corporate minutes no longer important? For the board to summarily shelve duly made motions or change the rules of procedure off the cuff is irresponsible and unlawful. The constitution also states that Robert's Rules of Order are to be followed at the meeting. If you notify the membership delegates that we may participate online, you have to engage the participation of those online representatives attending!
As far as I could hear from the flawed sound system, there was no disclosure of what took place in the closed session to the membership, including the resignation of both of the top-ranking officers on the board, and other critical issues facing the organization. Rather, there is a gag order placed on new business. Is that the best crisis management strategy this board of intelligent men and women could devise??
Great "new beginning."
By the way, has anyone consulted the NCNCA constitution about who belongs at these closed directors' meetings and what their powers of decision are? As I pointed out to one "VP" this week, those who you are calling "Vice Presidents" are not so designated under the constitution and are not part of the Executive Committee, because they have not been elected by US - the power behind the corporation. That didn't seem to matter to that "VP", so I guess the rest of the ... whatever you would call the Star Chamber that just took over our organization ... concurred.
WE, the members, as represented by the delegates of the member teams, ARE THE CORPORATION! You have an absolute DUTY to allow our motions and to count our votes!
I know you have a lot on your plate, but the membership is entitled to know as well. It is your duty to divulge. It is your duty to allow participation. It is your duty to allow US to decide.
This isn't your little private club.

Kevin Peterson laughed at the question. It caught him a little off guard.
Had there never been a Hurricane Rita, would his Media Day activity on Saturday been in a place like Baton Rouge, La., where the closest thing to Oklahoma State would have been a former head coach of the Cowboys?
"I hadn't thought of that," he said by phone at Oklahoma State's Media Day on Saturday.
Peterson was in Lake Charles, La., where his dad, Kevin Sr., worked for three years until Rita's wrath in 2005 forced the family north to Wagoner, where his mother Kimberly grew up. Peterson himself was born in Muskogee.
Plus, the family's Oklahoma roots and a diehard Sooner fan for a grandfather were there to balance any influence of LSU enthusiasts.
So Peterson did the natural thing – he signed with ... Oklahoma State. That adjustment, and the general adjustment to college football his freshman season kept his agenda full a year ago.
"Bedlam, you know, I tried not to think about all that," he said. "It was a big game to get ready for. My family, my grandpa especially were OU fans and a lot of people back in Wagoner were. I heard from them all through recruiting."
Peterson "just felt comfortable" when OSU moved into the picture after his initial commitment to the Sooners, and after a year at cornerback, the spearhead of Wagoner High's drive to a 2011 state championship who doubled then as a standout running back is not only settling into Stillwater, but he's projected to be a starter in a group that returns seven starters.
"Coming from Wagoner, Oklahoma, the game obviously speeds up and everyone's bigger, stronger and faster," he said. "You know that going in, but actually seeing it is an eye opener.
"I had some jitters. But finding a way on the field with those kind of athletes helped give me confidence and I'd say over a year that's been the biggest change in myself."
Peterson was the third guy behind Justin Gilbert and Brodrick Brown a year ago and gave them occasional breaks. He appeared in all 13 games, starting one, and led all of the 2012 recruiting class with 20 tackles. He also had two pass breakups.
OSU coach Mike Gundy pointed to Peterson as one who will benefit from that experience.
"It's really scary to have a true freshman out there on the edge. "(He has) developed well, but (still has) to learn to mature and play hard all the time. That is normally the last thing for a guy to learn and how to compete on every play," Gundy said at media day.
Peterson, now 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds, said his confidence will lead to more aggressive play and specifically, a focus on playing closer to the receiver.
"On my end, that's definitely something that's come with being confident. It's my nature to be aggressive," he said. "With all the veterans we have, being on the same page with them will make me better."
Gilbert, a consensus preseason All-Big 12 pick, will line up at the other corner with seniors Shamiel Gary and Daytawion Lowe at the safety spots. All three started a year ago.
While the Big 12 doesn't lack in high-powered offenses that challenge defenses by taking dead aim at the cornerbacks, Peterson thinks the best preparation comes in practice.
"We go against the best receivers in the Big 12 every day," he said. "If you can hang with them you should have confidence in yourself."
Peterson set for starting role at OSU

We are very happy with our pens and so are the people that get to take them. nothing to improve
It looked nice, and the contrast between the white letters and the red color was good. I appreciated that Sheena told me that the gold letters would not show up well.
My manager and I were excited that the pens were of such high quality, especially when compared with our previous pen order. The account rep was pretty good at getting back to me.
Nice quality for the price.
Nice pen for a good price
It just looked really nice and everyone was shocked when they each received 3 pens!
Low price, good quality pen, logo was large and easy to see.
Very pleased with the quality of the product, as well as the price. Would order from branders.com again!
The quality of the pen for the price was great, but the logo on some of the pens was slightly translucent.
The product looked great and was reasonably priced. Pen wrote smoothly. Minimum order was a lot more than I needed but that was ok given the price.
We've been using this pens for a long time already, we use them to give away to our Case Managers at hospitals and they love them. They are very light and easy to write with. Thank You!
loved the silver pens!

Eric Lomax, a former British soldier who was tortured by the Japanese while he was a prisoner during World War II and half a century later forgave one of his tormentors - an experience he recounted in a memoir, The Railway Man (1996) - died on Monday in Berwick-upon-Tweed, England. He was 93.
Mr Lomax met the man who tortured him, including multiple water-boardings and breaking of bones, in 1993. Mr Lomax wrote of the meeting: "I had come with no sympathy for this man, and yet Nagase, through his complete humility, turned this around. In the days that followed we spent a lot of time together, talking and laughing.... We promised to keep in touch and have remained friends ever since."
A film based on The Railway Man, starring Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman, is scheduled to be released in 2013.

BABSON PARK, Mass., April 29, 2006 - The sixth-seeded Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) baseball team continued its surprising run through the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament by downing No. 2 Springfield College, 9-6, in the semifinals this morning at Babson College's Govoni Baseball Field. With the victory, WPI improves to 14-20, while the Pride is now 16-17.
WPI advances to the winner's bracket of the double-elimination tournament and travels to top-seeded Wheaton College, which defeated No. 4 Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) earlier in the day. MIT and SC will meet in the first loser's bracket game at Babson College at 2:30 p.m.
The Engineers broke open a scoreless contest with four runs on four hits in the third, as freshman Ethan Brown smacked an RBI double before classmate Scott McNee drove in two more with a triple to left center. Sophomore Ryan Rainone drove home the fourth run on a single back through the box. The Pride plated one run in each the third and fourth innings, but WPI put three on the scoreboard in the fifth thanks to three hits and an SC error.
The Pride chipped away at its 7-2 deficit, scoring twice on sophomore Rex Cone's (Bristol, Conn.) two-out, two-run double in the fifth and once on an error in the sixth, but WPI responded with two more runs in the seventh. Senior Ryan Rand (Grey, Mass.) launched a two-run homer with two down to plate a pair of unearned tallies, as SC was unable to mount another threat down the stretch.
McNee led WPI by going 2-for-5 with three runs and three RBI, while Brown and junior Matt Fiore (Wakefield, Mass.) each had two hits and scored twice. Sophomore Brian Duncan (West Suffield, Conn.) allowed three earned runs on four hits over the first 4.2 innings while striking out six and walking five, and classmate Brendan Devereaux (Holden, Mass.) earned the win in relief by going the final 4.1 innings. Devereaux yielded one earned run on two hits with five strikeouts and one walk.
Junior Chris Stack (Albany, N.Y.) was the only Pride batter with multiple hits, going 2-for-3 out of the eight-hole. Sophomore Joe Carlos (Hampden, Mass.) was saddled with the defeat after allowing nine earned runs on nine hits in 6.2 innings. Carlos struck out six and walked three.

Not very credible at all.
It was clear to Vincent that his cover was blown and that escaping was far more important than finishing his hits, despite his discussions with Max about the meaninglessness of life, it was obvious that Vincent planned on living through this assignment from the beginning. That makes his actions at the end so incongruous as nothing prior to them reflected a desire by Vincent to end his own life.
As far as Max: With no apparent military or tactical training how he could be expected fire and hit someone in such an emotionally charged situation surpasses "luck" and bordered on the improbable. Trained marksmen have been known to miss targets at close quarters under ideal conditions so a "lucky shot" killing, not injuring someone, especially when it wasn't a head shot smacks of narrative conceit.
Finally, most bullet wounds are non-fatal despite what people have been trained by Hollywood to believe. Had Vincent been laying on the floor bleeding heavily, the scene would have been somewhat more "realistic." Having him sitting and dying passively is again more a narrative device than anything else.
Unfortunately, unless you surprise a professional assassin and shoot him/her from ambush, your odds of surviving an encounter with them are extremely low, bordering on the miraculous.
It's underestimation by Vincent really. Throughout the movie he continued to use Max as the cab driver on the assumption that there is nothing Max would try to do to injure Vincent. For example after shooting in the club incident, Vincent retained control by shooting the FBI agent and telling Max to get back in the car.
The lead up to Vincent's death shows him anxious to finish his last hit as well as maybe a little exhausted from the long night and trying to get on the back of the train. Also there was a short blackout right before Max and Vincent starting shooting at the door. It isn't clear whether the bullet that hit Max did indeed come from the window portion or metal portion of the door.
With all these factors included and allowing the audience to believe in a little luck, I think we can accept the scene as fair reality.
The final shootout has Vincent doing his highly practiced and refined Mozambique Drill (a favorite of Mann, clearly underscored by holes in the train car doors) while Max is shaking and shooting like mad, with his bullets ricocheting through the glass by chance.
Vincent's training may have taken over as it is wont to do and drove him to do the wrong thing in that very niche situation.
I wouldn't call it screw-up but really luck.
I myself especially liked this and found it somehow realistic. Luck is something often regarded unrealistic because we await movies to happen in a predictable way (a taxi driver not having a chance against a trained hitman). But indeed luck is something completely realistic and happening in real life, just not that predictable or probable. So why not just let Max be lucky, Vincent is just a human, too.
In fact Vincent was not defeated in a tactical gunfight where he might play his strengths, but in a more or less surprising situation. It is indeed a bit strange that Max doesn't get a small wound (can't remember in detail, maybe he got) but in this particular situation (the end scene with both standing opposed each other behind the train doors) there wasn't much Vincent could do better with his years of training and experience than count on his luck, like Max.
Most people don't understand the ending, and think it's just a traditional Hollywood happy ending, another deus ex machina to give us what we expect.
Very few viewers seem to realize that the ending is not just the final confrontation between Max and Vincent, but between their own philosophy on life itself. Vincent is an extremely well-disciplined hitman but his outlook is fundamentally nihilistic in nature. While he appreciates the spontaneity embodied by the jazz music they discuss, and seems to thrive on adaptability, in the end he loses the gunfight precisely because he's become too set in his patterns (specifically, his rote technique of shooting a Mozambique-type failure drill by firing a double tap into the sternum, and a third shot to the head).
In contrast, Max, the man who has lived the past twelve years of his life in a regimented, automated pattern (visit his mother, keep the cab clean, always look to his photo of the Maldives to calm his nerves, etc), learns via Vincent to break out of his habits and realize his full abilities as a person. Vincent's speeches about improvisation, adaptation, taking risks, and appreciating spontaneity set the stage for Max's transformation, and it's Vincent's threats that force him to take action when Vincent finally starts threatening the people he cares about (his mother, Daniel, Annie, etc). Under stress, Max manages to find himself and succeeds at putting on a performance for Felix, crashes the taxi to wrest control of the situation back away from Vincent, and finally manages to muster the courage to directly confront him in the last few scenes.
Going into the final shootout, these factors are what determined who won, and why. Vincent becomes stuck following his predetermined path of killing Annie, and can't break free of his imperative of finishing the job, even though a hitman as experienced as he should have known to call it off by then. Max has found himself under fire, and once running is no longer an option, realizes he has to finally make a stand. Vincent's penultimate statement "I do this for a living!" reflects the fact that he no longer knows or remembers any other way than what he's doing.
At the moment of gunfire, Vincent attempts to engage Max using the exact same tactic he's used all throughout the film: double tap to the chest followed by a headshot. He sees Max, he aims at Max, he fires...but he's no longer able to process changes or adapt to them, and he fails to register or react to the presence of the steel door frame between them. All three of the shots from his stolen S&W impact the door frame and fail to penetrate (which is fairly realistic). In contrast, we can see Max clearly close his eyes and fire blindly. He's not become some super-skilled gunman, he's simply learned how to let go and act rather than stall, delay, or deny reality. Most of his shots go wild, but one passes through the window and is just good enough to score a vital hit on Vincent. Luck, but luck driven by their respective mental states at the time. Max won because he succeeded at learning from Vincent's philosophy, while Vincent died because he lost track of the same.
There's always the possibility that Vincent had begun to like Max and was tired of his line of work. Perhaps Vincent was ready for it to end.
I personally like to think its a combination of this and the other answers.
You can see Max take a small step to the side while he's firing. Perhaps by firing once or twice--giving Vincent a target--and then moving, Vincent ended up firing at the wrong spot.
While this is logical and makes Max look smart, Vincent was unloading his weapon through a small window with Max directly in the path. I really don't see how Max could have remained unscathed other than luck.
This ending was unacceptable because Cruise clearly showed he was a top notch hitman. I'm not gonna believe for one second that he can take out like at least 5 trained Federal agents in the club scene and then get killed by a taxi driver. The transformation of the Jamie Foxx in the movie from an everyday guy to a badass in one night is completely unrealistic.
Here's the thing; Cruise's character is a hitman, but there is no indication that his hits have ever known the hit was coming. Killing someone, while requiring a certain resolve, does not necessarily require a tremendous amount to skill if the victim is unaware they are a target. As such, it's possible to believe that Cruise's character was defeated by Foxx's character in that, in a face-to-face showdown they are both on similar ground. I don't recall if Cruise's character was said to have any combat experience or not, so by my assumption neither of them had ever fired a weapon at someone firing back at them.
Now, the flip side is that it is likely Foxx's character never fired a gun, period. He wouldn't be familiar with recoil and sighting a target. In this respect, Cruise's character clearly has the upper hand. But on a moving train, which tends to jitter to some degree, that upper hand could be outweighed by a little bit of luck. Perhaps it jittered at the exact moment the triggers were pulled? Foxx's character could have been pushed out of the way, just as Cruise's character was pushed into the path of the bullet.
Most Action movies do, to some degree, require a "suspension of disbelief". Very few of them are actually plausable. So, in that universe, I'd say it's definitely within scope to accept the outcome.

Athens residents may see fewer unsafe structures and dangerous buildings in the future.
At least that was the goal of the City Council Monday when it revised the ordinance governing such property.
City Attorney Shane Black said the revision was prompted by two developments — problems with the existing state law and a diminishing number of properties with known owners.
The revised ordinance will deal with "those situations where there has been no cooperation with the owner, where the building is unsafe and where the department has been unable in working with the owner to make it safe," Black said.
The revision — which sets into place a nine-step process — provides the city "with a more efficient way to deal with properties that are dilapidated, that act as a blight, that affect property values, and that are a possible haven for crime," the attorney said.
For those wondering why the city did not take this step years ago, Black cited three:
1.) Existing state law worked in many situations in the past, he said.
"There have been different times when we used existing law to tear down burned out buildings where the ownership of the property is clear," Black said.
2.) Problems with existing state law have only recently developed. Black cited situations where the state law had been challenged and, as a result, cities lost their battle to have property remediate. In one case, a city had asked a person who paid the annual taxes on the property to correct a safety problem. When no action was taken, the city razed the building, only to later learn the property had been sold to someone else. In other words, the city failed to tell the right owner to fix the property.
3.) Athens city officials have reached the point where they have dealt with most of the unsafe properties for which the owners are known to them, now they want to pursue the others.
The rules include identifying property, scheduling of notification letters, the format of those notice, what constitutes a dangerous structure, the assignment of a grade to the structure and better notification — a title search — to get clear owners.

Nobody is more upset about this than us. We all love the characters, and there's still a lot of story left to tell. And we know those of you who read the first two issues want more, because you told us!
So this wasn't a decision we took lightly. We're still looking at different ways to continue the story, and get it into people's hands. If we succeed, we'll of course post here and let everyone know.
But for the foreseeable future at least, Wyatt, Madara, Rick and the others are hanging up their spurs.

Superintendent Gary Bloom announces strategic goals and metrics - 2013-14
It is my great pleasure and honor to serve as Santa Cruz City School's Superintendent, and to welcome you to our web site and the programs and people that it represents. I know of no school district in California with stronger community support or a stronger commitment to offering a rich and rigorous instructional program in academics and the arts. Santa Cruz City Schools has a lot to be proud of. We encourage the public to visit our schools and see the great things that are happening at every one of them.
The Governing Board of Santa Cruz City Schools has adopted a set of strategic goals that will guide decision making in the coming years:
- All Santa Cruz City School students will be prepared to successfully access post-secondary college and career opportunities.
- SCCS students will be motivated learners who leave our system as well-rounded citizens with a broad spectrum of interests and abilities.
- We will eliminate the achievement gaps that currently exist between demographic groups within the SCCS student community.
- We will develop a highly collaborative, professional culture focused on supporting effective teaching.
- SCCS will maintain a balanced budget and efficient and effective management.
- SCCS will maintain strong communication and partnerships with its diverse community.
Each of these six goals is supported by a set of over forty metrics (specific measurable targets) that will be monitored for evidence of year-to-year progress. Examples of growth targets for 2013-14 include:
- A 3% increase in the percentage of high school students accepted into state colleges and universities.
- A 5% increase in the percentage of 9th graders passing Algebra 1.
- A 2% increase in the percent of 5th, 7th and 9th grade students meeting proficiency levels 5 or 6 on the 6 subtests included in the California Physical Fitness Test (PFT) .
- A 5% increase in the percentage of English Language Learners achieving a passing score on the English Language Arts portion of the California High School Exit Exam (CAHSEE).
- A 10% reduction in the loss of students to private and charter schools.
The success of our schools hangs upon the quality of our teachers and principals, and upon what happens in every classroom, every day. Our district office and classified staffs are here to serve parents, students and teachers in support of teaching and learning. These are financially challenging times in a State that is 47th in the nation in school staffing ratios. In these times, our single greatest resource is our people, their passionate commitment to our students, and their willingness to collaborate as professionals with one another and with our community.
Please do not hesitate to contact us with any question, concern or suggestion.

ENCINO — Former "Saturday Night Live" comic Phil Hartman was shot to death early Thursday, apparently by his wife, who killed herself as police were shepherding the couple's two children from the family's million-dollar Encino home.
Officers responding to a call of shots fired at the home arrived to find the couple's 9-year-old, Sean, fleeing out the front door. They took the boy to safety, then returned to get his 6-year-old sister, Birgen. A single shot was heard--Hartman's wife, Brynn Hartman, 41, apparently killed herself as police took her daughter from the home.

Check, Please!
Outfit Details: Button-Down: Gap; Dress worn as skirt: H&M; Purse: Vieta; Flats: Gap
I wore this outfit Monday while B and I wandered around Charlestown. Evenings when I have little homework are few and far between, but Monday was one of them, so we hopped on the T and rode to this little neighborhood of Boston located north of the Charles River. It is seriously the most charming place I've ever seen! We're planning on exploring more extensively soon, so I'll be sure to post some pictures for you all to see, if you're interested.
I've been eager to try this knotted button-down look. Theoretically, it's an easy, subtle way to jazz up a more casual look. Practically, however, I'm worried that the checkered pattern and the style make me look a little farm-girlish. I think I'm going to have to try it out a few more times before I make up my mind, but what do you gals think?

Dress Yourself in Bleeding Madras*
Outfit Details: Earrings & Necklace: Gifts; Buttown-Down: Ralph Lauren (Thrifted); Skirt: American Eagle (Thrifted); Flip Flops: Old Navy
I'm not ashamed to admit that this bun is my go-to hairstyle on days when I don't have the time and/or energy to do anything else with my hair. Okay, I'm a little ashamed since this is the third post in a row that I've rocked said bun. I promise to make myself more presentable next time.
Anyway, I thrifted this madras skirt at Goodwill last week, after having looked for one forEVER. Madras is a quintessentially summery pattern and fabric, and I love its preppy feel. If you've been a loyal reader thus far, you may be saying, "But Hannah, I thought you were so over summer?" Fair enough. While I am gravitating more toward fall looks, I just had to wear this skirt before summer is officially over. Besides, it was 80 degrees. Cut me some slack!

Seeing Spots
Outfit Details: Sunnies: Steve Madden; Dress: Liz Claiborne (Thrifted); Belt: Express Men (Husband's); Purse: Vintage Dooney and Bourke (Thrifted); Sandals: Gap (Thrifted)
B and I are ridiculously busy during the week, so we try to make sure we have date night every Friday. We get dressed up, eat delicious food, and talk about topics other than school and work for a change. This week we went to our favorite pizza place for Melanzane pizza (eggplant, Ricotta cheese, Marinara sauce, oregano, basil, Romano and Mozzarella) and Summer Tonics (summer gin infused with cucumbers and sweet lemon basil, blended with muddled strawberries and topped with tonic water). Then we walked around the North End, which is like Boston's Little Italy, though no one who lives here calls it that.
My outfit is almost entirely thrifted, and this Dooney and Bourke purse is amongst my all-time favorite thrift finds ($10, people!). What are some of your favorite thrifted items?

Vegging Out: Lasagna
B and I generally like to eat out on the weekends, but unfortunately the imminent hurricane has forced us indoors. I figured it was the perfect time to attempt a veggie lasagna, since we happened to have all of the ingredients lying around (I wasn't about to walk to the store!).
Here's what you'll need:
9 lasagna noodles, prepared as package instructs
2 cups shredded parmesan cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
2 bags frozen California mixed veggies that can be steamed in the bags
16 ounces ricotta cheese
Onion powder (to taste)
Garlic powder (to taste)
1. Spray casserole dish with non-stick spray and preheat oven to 350 degrees
Here's what you'll do:
Here's what you'll do:
2. Boil lasagna noodles
3. Steam frozen veggies in microwave
4. In large bowl, sprinkle veggies with onion and garlic powder and stir
5. Layer: half of the noodles, the ricotta, 1 cup parm, enough veggies to cover the layer, and 1 cup mozzarella. Repeat this sequence. If you have remaining veggies, sprinkle them on top, along with some mozzarella cheese.
6. Cover and bake for 25 minutes; remove foil and bake for another 10.
Obviously, this lasagna would be best with fresh vegetables. If, however, fresh veggies aren't an option for whatever reason, the frozen veggies are a good (quick, cheap and easy!) alternative. We'll definitely enjoy leftovers tomorrow while we wait out the storm. Enjoy!

Hooray for Chambray!
Outfit Details: Earrings: Gift; Chambray Top: Gap; Belt: The Limited; Purse:Vieta (Marshall's); Shorts: Calvin Klein; Flats: Gap
I only recently jumped on the chambray/denim shirt bandwagon. The fault lies mostly with my hometown, where I saw horrible, unstylish denim with such frequency that I was scarred for life. It took a lot of time and fashion therapy before I conquered my fear and rediscovered the joy of denim, particularly in shirt form.
One of the keys to any wardrobe is versatility, and a good chambray shirt can be worn a variety of ways: you can dress it up or down; you can pair it with a variety of colors, patterns and/or textures; you can wear it on its own, or you can layer it. Here, I styled it simply with white denim shorts, which is one of my favorite summer looks, but I'm already imagining the possibilities for fall..
Do any of you own a denim/chambray shirt? What's your favorite way to style it?

Olive You
Outfit Details: Sunnies: Old Navy; Earrings: Gift; Shirt: Forever 21; Belt: Gap (Husband's); Shorts: Levi's; Flats: Gap
Guys, I have a serious obsession with olive green right now. I've bought this shirt, a sweater and a jacket in the past few weeks, all of which are this particular color. I can't help myself.. it's so pretty and so versatile! I definitely see it working as a neutral in my fall wardrobe. I'm particularly excited about this shirt, which I think is a great transition piece for this time between summer and fall. Plus, isn't the pattern on it just so darn pretty?
I'm noticing that my outfit choices are becoming decidedly more fall-ish. What about you? Are you anxiously awaiting fall's arrival (like I am), or are you relishing the last bit of summer weather?

Easy Caprese Pasta
B and I made this caprese pasta for dinner Monday night. It is delicious and really easy to make.
Here's what you'll need:
1 box penne pasta (or similar variety), prepared as package instructs
2 tablespoons basil pesto
balsamic vinaigrette
olive oil
1.5 cups fresh mozzarella (cut into cubes)
1.5 cups cherry tomatoes (halved)
Here's what you'll do:
1. Prepare the pasta and drain it
2. Mix all the ingredients in with the pasta, adding as little or as much olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette as you wish
Super easy, right? We ate our pasta right away with some crusty Italian bread and oil, and it was delish (I also added more cheese on top because I'm a cheese addict). Yesterday I had leftovers for lunch, and the pasta was even better after having chilled in the refrigerator. For this reason, I'd suggest preparing the dish early and letting it chill for an hour or two before eating it, if you have the time.

Back to School
Outfit Details: Sunnies: Steve Madden; Button-Down: American Eagle; Watch: American Eagle Shorts: Old Navy; Moccs: Old Navy (thrifted new)
Yesterday marked the first day of my seventh year of post-high school education.. Crazy, right?! I've had quite a few first days of school, but each year I am SO nervous. Yesterday was no exception. It went well, though! (See, you can tell because I'm smiling in most of these photos; otherwise, I'd be crying.)
Heading back to school always inspires a bit of preppiness in my clothing choices. This outfit fit the preppy bill and was also super comfy for a day of sitting through classes. Plus, blue and gold is a classic color combo that I love.
Good luck to any of you heading back to school in the upcoming days!

Rainy Sunday
Outfit Details: Shirt: Gap; Belt: Thrifted; Skirt: Forever 21
I'm a little embarrassed that I've resorted to the dreaded beige wall backdrop so early in my blogging career. I have grand plans to take photos outside all over Boston, but sometimes (usually) the weather gets in the way. I put this outfit on yesterday in anticipation of outdoor brunch with B. Of course, as soon as I did, it began to storm. By the time we left for brunch, the storm had passed. We ended up enjoying a nice, sunny brunch outside, but I forgot to take my camera along. Bad blogger!

Date Night
Outfit Details: Sunnies: Ray-Ban (Husband's); Dress: Forever 21; Purse: Vieta (Marshall's); Flats: Gap
I've been contemplating starting a personal style blog for over a year. Each day, as I pour over the blogs of fashionable gals who inspire me, I think, "I should totally do that," but I've always found excuses not to. Recently, I was perusing various blogs and other fashion-related websites (as is my morning routine) when I came across photos of a floral-print maxi dress. Given my obsession with florals and my growing affection for maxi dresses, I knew I had to have one of my own. I promptly visited Forever 21's website (one of my first stops whenever I shop), found a comparable dress, and added it to my cart. As I was about to check out, I was confronted with a disturbing fact: I already owned the very dress I was about to purchase. This was the moment I knew I needed to start my blog, if for no other reason than to be more aware of and creative with my wardrobe.
How fitting, then, to feature said dress in my first post! I wore this outfit for date night with my husband, whom I lovingly refer to as "B." We walked through Brookline and gawked at some of our favorite homes, dined on delicious vegetarian burritos for dinner at a taqueria in Coolidge Corner, and finished off the evening with frozen yogurt and people watching. I hope everyone had similarly lovely weekends.
