NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship 2013
May 12, 2013 at 10:17 pm
The NCAA Women's Water Polo Championship took place on May 10-12, 2013 at Harvard University. Eight teams participated, six of which were conference champions from the MPSF, WWPA, SCIAC, CWPA, MAAC, and Big West, joined by two at-large bids.
With the conclusion of final exams, members of the Boston University Men's Water Polo team spent the day at Harvard's Blodgett Pool experiencing a display of top-notch water polo.
The first game of the day was for seventh place between Pomona-Pitzer and Iona. It was a tightly contested match as points were traded back and forth. A winner was not decided until the very end when a player from Pomona-Pitzer unleashed a devastating buzzer-beater to seal the victory. Final Score: 13 – 12 (Pomona-Pitzer)
The excitement continued in game two, where Princeton and UCSD fought for fifth place. UCSD had led for majority of the game but Princeton staged an excellent comeback that was unanswered by UCSD. Final Score: 12- 10 (Princeton)
The competition heated in the third place game between Hawaii and UCLA. While UCLA finished on top by a sizable margin, it was a fierce battle nonetheless. Hawaii demonstrated exquisite ball-handling skills with quick, clean passes. Hawaii's number 5 led the team with five astonishing goals. While UCLA did come out on top, Hawaii had the last laugh as a skillfully placed lob met the back of UCLA's net at the final second. Final Score: 13 – 8 (UCLA)
The championship game between No.1 USC and No.2 Stanford was an absolute thriller that kept everyone on the edge of their seats through to the FIFTH overtime period. Stanford stole the early lead with two goals to end the first quarter at 2-0. At half, Stanford maintained the two goal lead and was still ahead after the third quarter. USC had managed to pull ahead for a one goal advantage in the fourth quarter. So, with the clock ticking down in the final possession, Stanford drew an ejection for a man-up opportunity. A first attempt was made as a pass from the wing connected with a backhand redirect from the post. The goalie handled this as the ball was knocked out of bounds. Stanford maintained composure, working the ball around the perimeter. In the last seconds of the game, the ball found its way inside again but this time to the back of the net. Tie game.
As if the game had not been close enough, the winner of this game remained undecided even after the double overtime periods. It was not until the fifth overtime (sudden death) that USC snatched the victory on a shot off of a foul.
An exciting day and a wonderful learning experience – the NCAA championship at Blodgett Pool was an absolute treat. Please visit the Media page for clips from the championship game!

Special Olympics Swim Meet!
May 8, 2013 at 1:18 am
For the fourth consecutive year, Boston University hosted the Massachusetts Special Olympics North Section Aquatics State Games Qualifier at FitRec this past Saturday.
The event, organized by BU's Student-Athlete Advisory Committee, featured 300 Special Olympic athletes from different swim teams across the region. Members of the Boston University Men's Water Polo team were among many of the student-athletes who assisted in everything from setting up for the event to recording the official times of the swimmers and handing out medals.
It was an absolute joy to be apart of such a wonderful event. The competitors are truly inspirational and it was such a pleasure to witness their smiles, friendliness, and competitive spirit. The Boston University Men's Water Polo team is excited to be apart of next year's Special Olympics again!

Austin Brashears Invitational Wrap-Up
April 29, 2013 at 4:13 pm
When we initially decided to put together this tournament, our goal was to create a competitive end of the year tournament that would pay honor to our teammate Austin, and perhaps raise some money for the scholarship fund that had been created his name. Unfortunately, the dates for the tournament were too close to finals for most of the teams we invited to compete, but in the end it was still a weekend of competitive water polo, friendship, and most importantly remembering a great friend whom the BU Water Polo will never forget.
For the BU Men's team, the tournament opened on Saturday with a game against the BU Men's Alumni Team. For the first time in memory, the Alumni Team actually fielded a team larger than the regular club team. Despite the Alumni Team's size advantage in numbers (and waist) the Terriers were able to best their predecessors by 15-4. Captain Curtis Hon lead the team in goals, with contributions by Sean Hughes and Josh McDonough.
Next, BU faced their B-line rivals Boston College. In what quickly became a heated defensive battle, the Terriers and Eagles constantly traded leads. Down three-goals in the final few minutes of the last quarter, BU fought back furiously to the last second. Unfortunately, Boston College was able to hold-on and beat BU 11-10. Even though they were sadden by the loss, the Terriers took the competitive match as a sign of great improvement and a marker for what needs to be fixed for the fall.
On Sunday, BU lost two physical games against local Boston master water polo team, Metro. Always looking for ways to improve, BU took the games as learning experiences and used the games as a chance to learn from much more experience players, as well as another opportunity to play the game we love.
The team would like to thank the Brashears, Jamie Drahos, fellow alumni, Fitrec Aquatics, the Women's Water Polo team, and everyone else who helped us put this tournament together. We would never have been able to do this without all of you.
We would also like to thank our seniors Kyle Schulns, Brian Domanowski, Andreas Kapfhammer, as well as our graduating graduate student Jeremy Butz for all of their years of dedication to BU Water Polo.
Finally, a big thank you to Kelia Cowan for taking these amazing photographs – more will soon be available at the following link!

Summer 2012 Updates
August 12, 2012 at 4:38 pm
As someone who has always loved the freedom and promise that only the summer months seem to offer, I find it odd how much I am looking forward to this upcoming fall. Maybe it's because Mumford and Sons is releasing a new album in September; or maybe it's because for the first time I'm facing adulthood and working full time in an office and am ready to return to the innocence of undergraduate life; or it could even be the small unair-conditioned apartment I've been living during this sweltering Boston summer.
Ok… so those are all the small reasons, but the main reason I'm excited for the fall is for the start of the BU Men's Water Polo 2012-2013 season. Coach Konrad, the team officers, and myself have been working hard the past couple of weeks to pull things together so we can start the season running. We are all stoked for the season to begin, and have just a few important updates we wanted to post, before we return to the banks of the Charles River.
The summer months began on a somber note for BU Water Polo community, when we tragically lost one of our own. At 6:00 AM on Saturday May 12, 2012, Austin Brashears lost his life in a tragic car accident, that also took the lives of two other BU Students and left five others hospitalized. Austin and the other students had been studying abroad in New Zealand at the time and were driving to visit the Tongariro Crossing, known for being the site of the filming of the Mount Doom scene in the Lord of the Rings.
Austin, a native of Huntington Beach, California, was studying mechanical engineering and minoring in energy technologies and environmental engineering. Besides being president and captain of the Men's Water Polo team, Austin was also a 2011 Orientation Student Advisor as well as a leader in the College of Engineering Community. We will always remember Austin as not only the fiercest and most hard-working competitor to ever don BU Men's Polo speedo, but also as a kind, light-hearted, and extremely intelligent friend who loved life and lived it to the fullest. The team has decided to dedicate the 2012-2013 season in his honor, and will be retiring his lucky 14 cap at a ceremony on Saturday October 6th from 11:00 am- 12:00 pm. We will post more details, as the ceremony draws nearer.
The practice schedule for the 2012-2013 season has been set and will take place at the following times:
Monday: 7:00 pm- 9:00 pm
Wednesday: 7:00 pm- 9:00 pm
Friday: 6:00 pm- 8:00 pm
Sundays: 5:00 pm- 7:00pm
All practices will take place in the Pool Diving Well at the Boston University Fitness and Recreation center. In addition to the practice schedule, the CWPA New England Conference Schedule has also been set. The Conference league tournaments will take place on the following weekends:
9/22-23 @ Wesleyan University
10/6-7 @ Boston University
10/20-21(Conference Championships) @ Middlebury College
The team is also in the process of scheduling pre-season scrimmages with other local club teams.
If you are an incoming first-year student, or just interested in becoming involved with the team, make sure you check us on September 2nd out at SPLASH on Nickerson Field. We will be there actively recruiting new players, answering questions, and maybe even having a catch.
That's all now, but continue to check back here for updates as the season draws nearer, and be sure to follow @BUWaterPolo for the most up to date water polo news and witticisms.

A senior member of the Senate Banking Committee is questioning how the Treasury secretary has been handling the controversial bonuses paid out by a bailed-out company.
Sen. Richard Shelby wants to know why Timothy Geithner didn't try to block the millions of dollars in AIG bonus payments.
The Alabama Republican also wonders whether the American taxpayers will ever get their money back.
Appearing on the CBS "Early Show," Shelby stopped short of calling for Geithner's resignation.
Meanwhile, President Obama has directed Geithner to see if there's any way to retrieve or stop the AIG payout. He HAS joined lawmakers in expressing outrage at reports that AIG went ahead with $165 million in bonuses even as it took more than $170 billion in bailout money.

Chop Suey Sandwich
A homemade lunch ruins a high school student's day.
This short story was edited by McSweeney's for ESPN The Magazine's Fiction Issue.
FROM MY SEAT at the kitchen table, I watched my father scoop last night's congealed chop suey onto a slice of Wonder Bread he'd centered on a sheet of waxed paper. He made his lunch every morning before leaving for the factory, and he made mine, too, on days when he wanted to clean out the fridge. I knew it was hopeless to resist. Methodical as a mason, he tamped a gob level with the spoon and aligned a top slice of bread to which he applied a gentle pressure before wrapping the sandwich.
My father's care in wrapping allowed him to save the crisply creased waxed paper to use again. He prided himself on his technique and tried to impart it to me. But the art of wrapping, like so many of the skills he regarded as essential to the cardinal virtue -- Practicality -- seemed beyond me. I'd never been able to fold a road map back into its original shape, and I couldn't get past the primary step of tearing the paper evenly from the roll of CutRite.
My father took for granted the natural aptitude that enabled him to build, without a blueprint, a garage from the lumber we'd scavenged at urban-renewal sites, or to rebuild the engine of the Dodge he'd salvaged from a wrecking yard and parked in that same garage, or to repair both the garage-door frame and the Dodge's right-front fender, calling for tools as a surgeon might while I stood by to assist and maybe to pick up a pointer or two watching him pound out the damage I'd done trying to sneak the Dodge out for a late-night joy ride.
When I failed woodshop in freshman year, he went through the stages of grief: shock, anger, disappointment, denial, but not, in the end, acceptance. My father was sure there was some mistake. Mr. Economakus, the shop teacher, explained that I hadn't even completed the first project, a sanding block. He added to my humiliation, and to my father's shame, by recounting how on the second project -- a teapot wall-ornament cut out on the jigsaw -- he'd caught me digging through the dumpster for other students' rejects that I could pass off as my own. "At least he didn't lose any fingers," Mr. Economakus said, "but I couldn't pass him just for that."
That was a year ago. This was the second time my father had made a chop suey sandwich for my lunch. At our house, chop suey did not originate in a take-out carton. When my mother sensed that our diet required an exotic change of pace, she made chop suey from a recipe she'd clipped from Woman's Day. It was a kind of Asian goulash, a runny stew of cubed beef, celery, onion, Worcestershire and soy sauce, served over Uncle Ben's instant rice. The rice was later mixed into the leftovers. I knew from previous experience that by lunchtime, when I unwrapped the tightly folded packet that held my sandwich together, the Wonder Bread would have dissolved.
When my father created the first chop suey sandwich a few months earlier, it caught me by surprise. He was inspired to make it one winter morning during Lent, a season for fasting and renunciation. Keep It Bent for Lent and other appropriate graffiti had appeared in my school's bathroom, which was marked BOYS, even though St. Augustine's was boys-only and so there was no girl's bathroom. Perhaps in the Lenten tradition of suffering and sacrifice, it was also the time of year at St. Augie's for the annual gladiatorial rite known as intramural boxing. A ring spattered with the blood of past generations was erected in the middle of the basketball court, and every day the student body packed the stands and folding chairs set around it and ate lunch while watching classmates in ill-fitting satin trunks duke it out. Varsity teams from St. Augie's dominated the state CYO boxing championships. Several school legends had gone on to fight in the Golden Gloves Tournament. Boxing defined both the school and one's standing in it. At lunch, the basketball stands vibrated beneath stomping feet, and the gym amplified the voices of students shouting between mouthfuls as they watched guys forge or squander reputations they'd live with for life.
The day my father created that first chop suey sandwich was also the day my buddy Les Olwatt fought his one and only intramural bout. Donny Mingo and I staked out prime seats by his corner to cheer him on. By the second round Olwatt was on the ropes. He was losing the trunks that at the start of the bout he'd hiked considerably above the no-hitting-below-the-belt line, but he was beyond hoisting them. His nose dribbled what looked like squirts of ketchup over his upper lip, where he'd been trying to cultivate a Salvador Dali mustache. Olwatt considered himself an artist. It was hard to tell whether the lip was split. He'd also lost the mouthpiece, which from Round 1 had triggered his gag reflex, and each breath gasped through his gaping mouth sounded like oh-oh. His exhalations were timed to the beat Anton Radok was drumming on his ribs.
WITH A ROUND still to go, Olwatt was already reduced to that desperate point of no return when 10-ounce gloves seem the weight of cinderblocks. I knew from experience exactly what it felt like. He could barely hold his fists up to protect himself, let alone throw a punch. Radok was tiring too, from hitting Olwatt so many times. After every few punches, he'd glance at Father Cross, who was reffing.
The priest was known as Right Cross. His broken nose gave him a faint resemblance to the Marlon Brando of On the Waterfront. Father Cross held the titles of assistant principle and disciplinarian; the latter was inscribed in gold on his office door. The story passed down from class to class was that Cross had been a contending heavyweight in Canada, but after beating a guy to death in the ring, he'd quit boxing and entered the seminary. It wasn't clear whether his priestly vocation arose from a need to do penance or from his special aptitude for inflicting it.
I never forgot the sermon he gave from the pulpit of the chapel to our incoming freshman class: "If you have a problem, you know where my office is, and if you don't know, you'll learn. But don't come sniveling and wasting my time if it's something you should be settling yourself the way St. A's men always have, man to man."
He was taken at his word. Fistfights were as expected at St. A's as they were at a hockey game. Sometimes it was a sudden eruption in the lunchroom, sometimes it was a rumble that had been brewing for weeks. The combatants would meet in the parking lot or the alley behind the school, friends at the ready like seconds at a duel. It wasn't unusual for a fight to end with the loser down on his knees looking for his teeth in a puddle of blood.
In intramurals, a bloody nose was typically enough to stop a fight. But Cross obviously felt that Olwatt, who was a regular in the after-school detention known as Jug, required a little extra character-building. "We got to damp your bronco down, boy," Cross had warned him. It was one of Cross's signature sayings. Cross was fond of sayings. On his office desk there was a plastic statue of a duck flat on its back, legs sticking straight up, boxing gloves on its webbed feet, and the sign: THE DUCK STOPS HERE. In the training room, beneath the mandatory crucifix, a poster, with no irony intended, read: NO PAIN, NO GAIN. If the jeers of Wuss! Wimp! Candy Ass! were any indication, the student body agreed. Thumbs down, Olwatt.
I'D GONE TO St. Augustine's because I wanted to box. It was an idea I would be disabused of freshman year after I took a beating in the CYO tournament. I had grown up under the illusion that I knew how to box -- my father's kid brother, Victor, had been a welterweight Golden Gloves champ, a local legend who'd gone on to box in the Navy. He'd never been defeated in the ring, but he'd been given an involuntary discharge for drinking, and after that he couldn't hold a job. When I knew him, he was divorced with no kids of his own. At family parties, Uncle Victor would wave for me to follow him out to the back yard, where he'd teach me the punches. For my eighth birthday he bought me a pair of pillowy, oversize gloves. I'd wear a football helmet and we'd spar, me bobbing and weaving, throwing combinations at Uncle Victor's palms. Fast hands, he assured me, ran in our family.
I chose Uncle Victor to be my sponsor for Confirmation. He seemed a perfect choice. Confirmation is the martial sacrament, conferred by the bishop with a light slap on the cheek that signifies a promise to do battle for Christ. An anointing with chrism, a consecrated oil, followed the slap. Sacrilegious though it was, my buddies and I couldn't resist joking it was an anointing with jism. For a Confirmation gift Uncle Victor presented me with a jump rope. When I told him jump ropes were for girls, he gave me, along with the crowd filing out from St. Roman Church, a clinic on the spot. Wearing black wingtips and a gangster-striped suit, bought for the occasion at the Salvation Army, he made that criss-crossing jump rope whine to the cheers of my classmates, their foreheads glistening with oil.
My parents had wanted to send me to St. Ignatius College Preparatory, where the Jesuits taught. It was considered a Catholic answer to the University of Chicago's Lab School, a refuge for assorted eggheads, bookworms and unathletic dorks. St. Ignatius dominated in debate; it didn't have a boxing team. The football team seemed like an excuse to have a marching band, one that paraded to Gilbert and Sullivan at half time. As the game progressed, always with St. Ignatius hopelessly behind, instead of chants of DEFENSE! their students shouted their SAT scores.
St. Augustine's, on the other hand, took sports seriously. The wall of honored alums that greeted you at the entrance to the school consisted solely of athletes. The Broncos, the St. A's football team, was coached by a former linebacker for the Chicago Bears. Father Cross coached the boxing team. What attracted my parents to St. Ignatius was the College Preparatory in its name. My father, a Polish immigrant who hadn't finished high school, was determined I'd be the first in our extended immigrant family to get a college degree. In order to enroll at St. A's, I had to mount a campaign that included enlisting family members to plead my case, as well as shamelessly playing my hole card. I told my parents that if I couldn't go to St. A's, then I'd save them the tuition money and attend Harrison, the public high school five blocks from where we lived in the gang-graffited barrio called Little Village.
"Stashu, let him go where he wants," my Busha said in Polish, coming to my defense as she always did. "Learning to make decisions is part of growing up, Stanley," my favorite aunt, Elise, told my father. "But, Elise, the trouble is, he only learns the hard way," my father said.
It was the shop classes, ironically, that won my father over. Unlike St. Ignatius College Prep, which offered none, St. Augustine's promised wood shop, auto shop, mechanical drawing -- they even had a course called refrigeration. My father figured a guy who could fix a fridge could always earn a buck on the side. "I'd rather be the guy who can fix them than the guy who has to lug them up the stairs," he told me.
I had to forge his name on the permission slip to join the freshman boxing team. The team trained after school: medicine-ball sit-ups, hitting the heavy bag and then, led by Father Cross, we'd jog, shadow boxing, along the empty corridors, up and down stairwells and out around the block. When he had us gasping, he'd break into a full sprint. One afternoon, I sprinted past him and he was unable to catch me. Afterward he warned me, "Next time you do that, we put the gloves on." When I got home late, I'd say I was at band practice.
I don't know when I began to realize I'd made a mistake. Not just a mistake about boxing, but about the school I'd connived my way into. Nor do I know how long I could have denied those feelings to myself if I hadn't been overmatched in the CYO tournament. My fight was stopped after a single round -- three minutes of boxing that cost me the next three years in a high school I felt increasingly alienated from. It wasn't just losing or the beating I took. It was the spectacle of all those cheering mostly white fathers, many of whom had fought CYO themselves, and the sons there to emulate them, to honor a code one is born into without a choice, as one is born into a faith. If there's to be a choice, it has to come later, assuming that by then there's still the freedom to choose. I couldn't articulate that to myself yet, but on the night of the tournament, I felt it on a gut level.
I quit boxing and joined the track team. In spring, we practiced on an old potholed cinder track that circled the football field. One afternoon, I saw Father Cross in his faded red and gold Bronco sweats, jogging along the inside of the track, moving the way Uncle Victor used to, bobbing his head and pumping his elbows as if throwing phantom punches to clear a path. I was in the starting blocks for a heat of high hurdles, which had become my main event. He waited at the finish line to watch my race. When I sprinted by, two lengths ahead of the pack, he said, "Flight, not fight, eh Dybek?"
Olwatt knew I'd boxed freshman year and had asked me to coach him. Though I declined, it wasn't without empathy that I watched the whupping he was taking. But it was lunch hour -- a mere 45 minutes, actually -- so, eyes on the ring, I unwrapped the sandwich on my lap and raised it for a bite. Before I got it to my mouth, it decomposed, slithering through my fingers, down my wrist, ambushing me as if I'd been served something still half-alive that was trying to wriggle away. It wasn't a sandwich; it was a practical joke. I sprang from my seat, but not before the drool had slopped over my new gray cords.
"You just barf up your lunch or what?" Mingo asked.
"My father made me a chop suey sandwich." I used the tie we were required to wear to wipe off the clots of celery, onion, rice, meat, and gravy from my shirt, trousers and shoe tops.
"Disgusting, man!" Bobby Aztec said. "What are you eating, Dybek?"
I didn't answer.
"Gross! Check it out," Aztec announced. "Dybek's eating hurl on white!"
"It's a chop suey sandwich, you never saw a chop suey sandwich before?" Mingo said.
"A chop suey sandwich! Who ever heard of a chop suey sandwich?" Aztec asked. "You Chinese or what? Your eyes are kind of slanty, man."
"Bro, your old man makes your lunch?" Mingo asked.
"Only on special occasions."
"What special occasions?" Mingo wanted to know. "National Projectile Vomit Day?"
"Your father should patent that, man," Aztec said. "Enter it in a cooking contest, you know? It could become famous like a BLT, a PBJ -- the CSS. Or you could call it the Sloppy Mao. You could have like a Chop Suey Sandwich franchise."
So, on the morning in spring when my father made the second chop suey sandwich of my life, I wasn't about to be ambushed again. I met Mingo at the bus stop and we waited in a drizzle for the Western Avenue bus, which was running late. By the time I boarded, my sandwich had dissolved its way through the worn creases in the waxed paper and spotted the bottom of the brown lunch bag.
As always, we sat in the back of the bus where we could smoke. I knelt in my seat and tried to pry up a window. It was raining harder and the window, opaque with crusted road grime, was stuck as if it had yet to thaw from winter. I bashed at it with my Latin book from 31st to 35th before it budged. A wino with a pigeon feather poking from the panty hose he'd tied like a headband around his gray, uncut hair was slumped in the corner rear seat, probably riding the bus to get out of the rain. An empty pint bottle of muscatel rattled back and forth under the seats with the stop and go of traffic. When I finally managed to slide the window up, the wino started awake with an incredulous look on his face.
"Jumping?" Mingo asked me.
"I'm through eating this crap," I said.
"Kid," the wino said, "You ain't never through eating crap in this world. A little breezy for an open window, ain't it? You guys got some loose coins or a smoke?"Mingo doled out a Camel, rather than letting him take one from the pack. "Can you spare it?" the wino asked.
Wet air slashed in. I took the sandwich from the bag and unwrapped it. The bag blew off, the waxed paper fluttered about.
"How'd you like a sandwich with that smoke, Chief?" Mingo asked the wino.
"You mean the crap you're tossing? What kind of sandwich?"
"Chop suey on Wonder," I said.
"I'll take a match if you got that."
"My ass and your face," Mingo said.
"I knew you were going to say that before you said it," the wino said.
"I hate to see you waste good food," Mingo said to me. "Let me see that."
"I was testing if you'd be that easy to predict," the wino said.
The bus stopped for the light on 47th. There was an empty squad car beside us parked in the bus lane. Mingo flipped my sandwich splat onto its windshield.
"He'll think a giant carnivorous sparrow took a dump on him," Mingo said.
"No, he'll think it was a calling card from that kangaroo running around terrorizing cops," I said. There'd been news reports of a kangaroo spotted in various Chicago neighborhoods. A squad car had cornered it in a dead-end alley in Wrigleyville, and when the cop got out of the car, the kangaroo had literally kicked his ass before jumping over the squad car and hopping away. The cop, name withheld, was hospitalized with a fractured tailbone.
The light changed green. We looked out the back window and saw the blue dome on the squad car suddenly whirl and the wipers smear the sandwich across the wet windshield.
"Jesus, there was a goddamn cop in there! He's following the bus," I said.
"He must have been napping," Mingo said. "Or hiding from the kangaroo."
"He thinks the kangaroo is on our bus."
The cop put on his siren, swerved around us and kept going.
"Gentlemen, have we inhaled enough fresh air yet?" the wino asked.
"You should have asked if anyone had a light." Mingo told him. "But no, you had to say match. It's the story of your life."
"Did I tell you guys I seen that kangaroo under Wacker last night?" the wino asked.
"I bet you did, Chief," Mingo said. "Was he panhandling? He let you feel inside his pouch?"
"Gimme a smoke for later and I'll tell you what I found in there besides your mama's panties."
THROWING MY SANDWICH away meant I had to buy lunch at the cafeteria. I didn't have the money every day, but once in a while when I had extra from chores around the house I splurged for my favorite lunch: a carton of chocolate milk and a plate of fries. They'd recently installed a new, stainless-steel fry station at St. A's and the aroma of fries wafted up from the cafeteria into the stairwells and along the corridors. The crinkly, golden fries, glistening with oil, were served piled steaming onto a plate of absorbent, gray cardboard. The sheen of oil magnified the crystals of salt and flecks of pepper from the packets I tore open and sprinkled on. Rather than blasting them with splats of ketchup, I carefully squeezed a ribbon around the rim of the plate so that I could dip the fries one by one. They stayed crisp that way. I carried my carton of chocolate milk and plate of fries to a table where Olwatt, Aztec and Mingo had saved me a seat. Olwatt and Aztec had hot dogs; Mingo was dining on his daily Snickers and a coke.
"Gimme a fry, bro." Mingo said.
I handed him one.
"Sure you can spare it?"
"It's all I got for lunch. Maybe you'd like a match, too?" I was deferring my own first bite until I had the straw poked into the carton of chocolate milk, which I vigorously shook for a richer, more chocolate-malt taste.
"You look like you're jerking off, man," Aztec said. "It's embarrassing sitting with you, man, when you flog your chocolate milk in public."
Murkins, a senior, stopped by our table, admired my artistic way with ketchup, helped himself to a fry and flashed us his toothless grin. He'd lost his front teeth in hockey and thought it was hilarious to slide out his false ones. He was one of those guys who found losing teeth funny -- his way of being impervious to pain. He claimed to know kung fu and said his deadliest move was called monkey-steals-grapes. His nickname, which he embraced, was Homo, short for Homicidal Maniac. Homo slid his hand down the front of his pants, raked up a handful of black pubic hair, and sprinkled it on top of my fries. "Enjoy," he said and walked away.
"Oh man, you just got hair-pied," Olwatt said.
There had been a hair-pie epidemic going around St. A's. You'd be quietly reading a book or working on dissecting a frog in biology and some guy would turn and sprinkle pubes on the page or the innards of your frog. Sometimes it would trigger an instantaneous outburst of violence -- the victim rising up in a blind rage -- and sometimes the victim just quietly closed his book and then threw it away.
I looked at my fries in their varnish of hot grease. I could see the glitter of salt, each freckle of pepper, each spatter of ketchup, each of Murkins' kinky black pubic hairs.
"Murkins is really a total jerk," I said.
"Yeah," Mingo said, "but he can beat the crap out of you."

YOUNGSTOWN — A city man who played a part in the robbery that led to the death of another man will spend the next eight years in prison.
Hassan Merriweather, 23, formerly of Rutledge, appeared before Judge Maureen Sweeney in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court, for sentencing on a charge of complicity to aggravated robbery. He was sentenced to eight years in prison with credit given for the 510 days he has spent in the county jail.
Police said the investigation revealed that Merriweather took part in a planned robbery, in which Demar Flores, 18, of Elliot Lane was lured to a home on Rutledge that Merriweather shared with several other people. Police say someone called Flores to come to the home before Flores was shot multiple times March 17, 2008.
It looks like killing Demar was no big deal .
I agree. Only 8 years ??? Yep , THAT will make up for taking someone's life.
That is 8 years of training on how to become a better felon. When Merriweather gets out, our "Correctional facility" will have properly trained him on how to be a better criminal.
Further proof the judicial system is severely flawed. This sends a clear message: you'll do less than 10 years. So, shoot 'em up!
He was the mastermind of the whole thing, set his supposed bestfriend up to be murdered, lied and snitced on everyone else and got 8 years, thats crazy. Rest in peace Demar

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The arrests and occasional violence marking Occupy Wall Street's two month anniversary underscore Democrats' strategy of keeping their distance from the protest movement.
Democrats and Occupy Wall Street share similar concerns about economic inequality. But while the Republican Party and the tea party were a natural political pairing, Democrats have been reluctant to cast their lot with Occupy agitators who confront police and squat in public encampments.
Thursday's mass demonstrations in New York, Los Angeles and elsewhere were a stark reminder of why the Occupy movement remains a minefield for Democrats, even as polling continues to show public support for its message.
Dozens were arrested as protesters attempted to block traders from entering the New York Stock Exchange in lower Manhattan. Police said four officers were injured when demonstrators threw liquid — possibly vinegar — in their faces.
The arrests came two days after hundreds were forcibly evicted from New York's Zuccoti Park, where the Occupy Wall Street movement was launched Sept. 17 when activists pitched tents to protest policies they said benefit the wealthiest 1 percent of Americans.
Police in Los Angeles declared an unlawful assembly at an Occupy rally in the city's financial district. In Portland, Ore., more than a dozen protesters were led away in handcuffs after attempting to barricade an entrance to the Steel Bridge, an important link for mass transit in the region.
For their part, many Occupy protesters have been openly contemptuous of Democrats, including President Barack Obama, arguing that both political parties are equally beholden to corporate interests and responsible for enacting policies that have hurt the middle class.
But even without an explicit alliance between the two groups, many Democrats believe the Occupy movement's focus on income inequality could help the party reinvigorate its base.
"It's injecting energy and life into progressive ideas and values, and it's showing some weak-kneed Democrats they should be more aggressive on those issues," Steve Rosenthal, a Democratic strategist and longtime labor leader, said.
Republicans have largely dismissed Occupy Wall Street as a band of anti-capitalist ruffians, while trying to goad Democrats into embracing the movement or answering for its excesses.
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney has called the movement dangerous class warfare, while fellow candidate Michele Bachmann called the protesters "ignorant" and "disrespectful."
So far, Democrats have tried to have it both ways — embracing the movement's economic concerns while steering clear of its rougher edges.
"I think people feel separated from their government," Obama told ABC News. "They feel that their institutions are not looking out for them."
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has gone a step further, posting a petition, "100,000 Strong Standing With Occupy Wall Street," that blames Republican policies for the nation's economic discontent.
But many Occupy Wall Street activists contend they have no interest in helping Democrats.
"The Occupy movement is rooted in the idea that the political system is broken to such a degree that we can no longer work through the Republican or Democratic parties," Tim Franzen, a spokesman for Occupy Atlanta, said.
"This is not about politics. This is about people," said Marsha Spencer, an Occupy volunteer in New York. "We've lost our government. It's not by the people, for the people anymore. We need to get it back, and we don't need a political party to do that."
Such talk has frustrated some Democratic leaders, who say engaging in electoral politics would make the Occupy movement more effective.

The possibility to cryopreserve cells allows for wide opportunities of flexible handling of cell cultures from different sponge species. Primmorphs model, a multicellular 3D aggregate formed by dissociated sponge cells, is considered one of the best approaches to establish sponge cell culture but, in spite of the available protocols for freezing sponge cells, there is no information regarding the ability of the latter to form primmorphs after thawing. In the present work, we demonstrate that, after a freezing and thawing cycle using dissociated Petrosia ficiformis cells as a model, cells viability was high but it was not possible to obtain primmorphs. The same protocol for cryopreservation was then used to directly freeze primmorphs. In this second case, after thawing, viability and the cellular proliferative level were similar to unfrozen standard primmorphs. Spiculogenesis in thawed primmorphs was evaluated by quantifying the silicatein gene expression level and by assaying the silica amount in the newly formed spicules, then compared with the correspondent values obtained in standard unfrozen primmorphs. Results indicate that the freezing cycle does not affect the spiculogenesis rate. Finally, the expression level of heat shock protein 70, a well-known stress marker, was assayed and the results showed no differences between frozen and unfrozen samples. These findings are likely to promote relevant improvements in sponge cell culture technique, allowing for a worldwide exchange of living biological material, paving the way for cell banking of Porifera.

Robin van Persie scored a hat-trick, including a stoppage time winner, as Manchester United snatched a 3-2 victory over Southampton in a rip roaring contest at St Mary's.
United trailed the match with just three minutes to go before a Van Persie double made up for an earlier penalty miss from the Dutchman when he was caught out for trying a cheeky chip.
His winner in stoppage time though was his 100th Premier League goal and made sure that Sir Alex Ferguson's 1,000th league game in charge of Manchester United would be a memorable one.
It was tough luck on Southampton though who played superbly for most of the contest and were twice in front but they remain without a point in this their first Premier League season for seven years.
United started the match the brighter side and dominated possession in the early exchanges but Southampton then started to come into it after a nervy opening 10 minutes and in the 16th minute they took the lead.
Shinji Kagawa, who struggled with the pace of the game at times, was caught in possession in midfield. The ball was eventually played out to Jason Puncheon on the left and he stood up a fine cross to the back post. Waiting there was Rickie Lambert who peeled onto the mismatched Rafael before guiding his header into the corner of the net.
United levelled just seven minutes later courtesy of a trademark finish from Van Persie. The Dutch striker took Antonio Valencia's cross from the right on his chest at the back post and then drilled the ball low into the opposite corner. He had all the time in the world to do so too after Nathaniel Clyne had slipped.
It wouldn't be the only time Clyne would lose balance in such a way either. He was lucky later in the half when Patrice Evra was able to get a header on target after Clyne again lost his footing with Kelvin Davis this time getting him out of jail with a decent save.
It was end to end stuff at times in the first half with both sides looking capable of adding more goals.
Adam Lallana was popping up everywhere for Southampton and was at the hub of most of their attacks while on a couple of occasions United nearly caught out Southampton with long balls over the top aimed at Van Persie.
The second half was similarly breathless and St Mary's was rocking again in the 55th minute when Southampton retook the lead.
Again it came from a header; this time Lambert was the provider as he curled a right-footed cross to the back post, Evra then slipped in similar fashion to Clyne earlier, allowing Morgan Schneiderlin to run in unchallenged and head into the corner of the net.
Robin van Persie - Manchester United: 'He scores when he wants' except maybe from the penalty spot. That gaffe aside this was a stunning performance from the Dutchman.

Forum > Your Mustangs
Newbie Here
(1/3) > >>
Hi all I was looking for an engine for a friends 1994 Mustang Project, (he wants a Shelby lump) and it brought me to this site, via Google. any way enough of that, lets introduce myself
Im ben and I drive a Range Rover 3.5 V8 twin SU carb Auto 4x4 appropriatly named "DENT" ;D, i use it off road and on road, it is quick for a heavy truck, it has off road guards and Mud Tyres, Loads of lights, and has hundreds of dents
i also have an off road toy i am building, it is also a Range Rover 3.5 V8 but is EFI and Manual, it has Mud Tyres and a Roll cage, but thats as far as i have got at the moment, it also has hundreds of dents
i have always dreamed of owning a 67 Mustang 2+2 fast back, but at the moment i cant find one cheap enough to restore, i can find them newer like the 1994 of my mates but not a 67 :(, i am not keen on the shape of the rest, i like the old skool look ones 65 - 66, 67 - 68, and 2005 - present model ones, i think they went to uniform and made them look like normal road cars on the rest, (just my opinion)
i would love the gone in 60 seconds shelby "ELEANOR" i love that car so damn sexy
here is a picture of my trucks the one on the left (one with no spot lights) is my toy, the other is "DENT"
Welcome to our site. Everybody has their own opinion about cars and trucks, and yours seems to be that the Eleanor is the cat's meow. Well, don't be surprised when you hear from classic Mustang owners that the Eleanor is a butcher job of a classic 67 Mustang. Another problem classic Mustang owners have is that the price of any 67 Mustang fastback has skyrocketed to out of the reach of most classic wannabes because of that movie, "The Fast and Furious."
Well, anyway, again, welcome to the site and we appreciate your opinion. Now, get yourself a Mustang. ;D
if you can do sheetmetal work you can buy a cheap coupe and order the fastback roof, quarter panels trunk sail panels tail panel etc from dynacorn and make your own for a fair price that is if you handy with a welder :D
welcome kick back, post and hang out
Dr. Feelgood:
Welcome ;D

thats not a bad idea buddy, i am sh*t hot with a welder, i made my own bumpers, and other bits and bobs on my trucks, ;D
although i would prefer to have a Genuine / Original Fastpack more so than a cut and shut ???
and they are not that much cheaper in the UK either :(

Low Fat Black Bean Zucchini Gazpacho
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 0 mins
I found a similiar recipe for this slightly spicy soup in Taste of Homes Light and Tasty Cook Book and tweeked it to make it even more low fat. This is a great light lunch for a hot summer day. I used 6 baby green zucchini and 1 medium yellow zucchini and guessed at the measurements. I really didn't think I would like cold soup but it is delicious and easy to prepare. If I calculated this correctly it is only 1 WW point per 1 Cup serving.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups hot spicy hot V8
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 medium onion, chopped fine
- 4 cups zucchini, chopped (bite size)
- 4 tablespoons cider vinegar
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.
- Cover and refrigerate until ready to eat.
- This recipe is best if you refrigerate it for atleast 4 hours before serving.

We really enjoyed our stay in the apartment of Tomislav in Split. It is a very large, modern and clean apartment, and it has all the facilities you need for a pleasant stay. Tomislav is a good and friendly host, who is always available to help you. He can give you good advices about what trips you should not miss in Split. We can recommend you to stay in his apartment!
We had a great time in Tomislav's appartment.
The place itself is very nice and cosy, brand new furnished and fully equipped. Although the is not directly into the city center, it took us only 10 minutes to get there by car (I believe there are also buses going directly to the city center, if you do not have a car), and we never had problem finding non-paying parking space in the city.
Tomislav gave us great advice about the city: what to see, where to go (and to park), where to find the best beaches, etc. He loves his city and is always eager to share his love with his guests.
I can only warmly recommend him and his place and would gladly return there if I were to go back to Split.
Удобное расположение в нескольких минутах ходьбы от песчаного пляжа, старый город, порт и автовокзал. Жилой район, что чувствовал себя очень безопасным. Рядом с магазином. Очень просторный, чистый и хорошо оборудованный и два балкона восполнили отсутствие отдельной гостиной. Предупредительными, внимательными и доброжелательными хозяевами. Очень рекомендуем!
Great location in walking distance to the sandy beach, old town, port and bus station. Residential area that felt very safe. Near to shop. Very spacious, clean and well equipped and the two balconies made up for the absence of a separate living room. Helpful, attentive and friendly hosts. Highly recommended!
Perfect help, great location!
Very much enjoyed our stay in the apartment and our visit to Split. Very clean and excellent location and the owner went out of his way to make us feel welcome and tell us about the area.
Many thanks
Great apartment in a fantastic location, minutes from the Old Town and 10 mins from the sandy beach. Tomi was fantastic as a host. Definitely recommended and would go again.
A great appartment with nice garden near the centre of town. Everything was taken care off. We had nice contact with the owner Tomi and enjoyed our stay there.
We are very satisfied with the apartment, which was very near the Town centre. We could sit in the garden in the afternoon. The host helped us with several things, among others to hire a van for a trip into the country. We could always call him and get good advice about restaurants and what to see.
We met a god hospitality, and good advices about the city. The apartment met fully our expectations, The 2 balconies were very nice!
We fully recomment this host and this apartment,
Good appartment in excellent location, close to everything but still quiet neighborhood. All online information about the appartment was correct. Very friendly and helpful host. We got broschures, info package, help with car rental and airport transfers!
I can recommend this to anyone - Thank you Tomi :)

Montgomery County venture capitalist Rob McCord says he has raised $1.5 million to seek the Democratic nomination for state treasurer in 2008, a whopping amount for a relatively obscure race.
McCord, a party activist from Bryn Mawr, sought to send a message last week by preparing a state campaign-finance report, even though it is not required for a primary still 10 months away.
His tally raised eyebrows in state politics but did not scare likely rival John Cordisco, the Bucks County Democratic chairman who is busy lining up party support for his own campaign.

In my content I'm giving my

 tags id's for the sake of direct linking. For example:

H3 Title

And I would link to it like this:
H3 Title
However, the double quotes are getting escaped somehow, with the results looking like this:

H3 Title

This makes the links not work :(
I've tried numerous things, such as removing the wptexturize filter from the_content and turning off magic quotes in PHP. They were off, but I added the directive to PHP.INI just in case.
I'm seriously considering just creating a filter to remove the slashes, but it seems that they shouldn't have been added to begin with. They're not added to images, for example, so they must be added somewhere. This happens in both visual and html modes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ed Zurga, Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — His kids started "going crazy." His phone started ringing off the hook. Todd Haley knew good things must be happening in Cincinnati.
They were. The Bengals upended the San Diego Chargers, making Haley's Kansas City Chiefs the worst-to-first champions of the AFC West on Sunday.
"Everybody that's worked really hard and had to go through some difficult days, this is a day to enjoy and feel good about ourselves," said KC's second-year head coach.
Earlier, the Chiefs (10-5) had romped past Tennessee 34-14, going from 4-12 in 2009 and completing the greatest one-year turnaround in franchise history. Now with help from the Bengals, they're AFC West champions for the first time since 2003 and will be trying to improve their seed when Oakland comes to town next Sunday for the regular-season finale.
"Through experience, I have learned you can get things going at least in the right direction," Haley said. "For us to get to this spot this quick I think is really great. I can't say it was necessarily expected."
With Kansas City's greatest one-year turnaround came great reward.
Minutes after beating the Titans, the Chiefs knew their playoff goal was oh, so close, and were in no mood to celebrate their historic turnaround.
"It just means we were just that bad last year," guard Brian Waters said. "Our goal is to get to the next part of the season."
They are there, although everyone around Arrowhead Stadium has been trying to avoid even saying the word "playoffs" all week. There was obvious pride in winning 10 games; in the Chiefs' first 50 years, five wins had been the biggest one-year improvement.
"It's a huge accomplishment," said quarterback Matt Cassel, who threw three touchdown passes in the first half against the Titans.
"It's a huge turnaround for us, being 4-12 and going through the year we did last year. I know there's a ton of adversity and all those things were very difficult to handle at times. But to be here with 10 wins on our season and one win away from a division championship — I mean, it's remarkable to say the least."
Cassel connected with Jamaal Charles for touchdowns on KC's first two possessions and Eric Berry returned an interception 54 yards for another score as the Chiefs raced to a 31-7 halftime lead. Cassel hit 12 of his first 13 passes.
The Titans (6-9) spent much of the game dropping passes, missing arm tackles and piling up penalties while losing for the seventh time in eight games.
Dwayne Bowe had six catches for 153 yards, including a career-long 75-yard touchdown as the Chiefs remained unbeaten in seven home games.
The Chiefs had 327 of their 458 total yards and all but three of their points while rolling up a 31-7 halftime lead.
"The game got out of reach early," Titans coach Jeff Fisher said. "You've got to execute to near-perfection when you get down like we were and we just didn't do that."
A couple of times in the ragged second half, it seemed fights were about to break out. By the end of the third quarter, each team had three unnecessary roughness penalties.
"It's just two physical teams going at it," Chiefs cornerback Brandon Flowers said. "Wasn't nobody going to back down. So when you get two teams like that, stuff like that is going to happen."
The Titans, one of the league's most penalized teams, were flagged nine times for 74 yards, while the Chiefs uncharacteristically drew seven penalties for 84.
Chris Johnson, the fourth-leading rusher in the NFL, had only 58 yards on 14 carries for the Titans.

Kids and adults got a chance to explore Skeleton's Lair on Oct. 27 and get an early start on trick-or-treating. This year marks the first ever for "Pumpkinfest."
The day's events included face painting, pumpkin decorating and of course, candy.
The event in Allen County showcases a background tour of the haunted woods at Skeleton's Lair specifically for kids.
"It's a daytime family fun event where the families get to come out with their children, and paint pumpkins and take them home. There's face painting and a walk through the haunted woods to see the animatronics and to learn a little bit more about Halloween," explained Sherryl Lockett, with Pumpkinfest 2007.
If you're brave enough, Skeleton's Lair is open through October 31.
You can also stay connected to WBKO.com and WBKO-ABC on Monday, Oct. 29 at 6 p.m, as we explore the haunted woods on "Adventures in Kentucky".
