Holman & Moody Announces Limited Edition 2014 Mustang

In 1964, a British racing team entered three new and unproven Ford Mustangs in a 4,000 mile European endurance race, called the Tour de France Automobile. Built by American tuning specialist and race car builder Holman & Moody, no one gave the Mustangs a chance against the well-proven Jaguar Mk IIs entered.

Ten days later, the Holman & Moody-built Mustangs took first and second place in the Touring class, representing the Mustang’s very first win in international competition. Suddenly, Ford’s “cute” sports car was seen as a capable competitor and legitimate threat on the race track.

As Mustangs Daily tells us, Holman & Moody has just announced a limited-production 2014 Tour de France tribute Mustang, which stays true to the original in terms of tuning and modifications. Like the 1964 Mustangs, the 2014 Holman & Moody TdF cars will wear bright red paint and focus on handling over sheer horsepower.

Engine upgrades will be limited to a Ford Racing-tuned ECU, tubular headers, a Ford Racing X-pipe, Ford Racing sport mufflers, a K&N / Ford Racing air filter, a larger radiator and an oil cooler, ensuring that temperatures stay where they belong on track days.

Underneath, the Holman & Moody TdF Mustang gets adjustable front and rear splined sway bars, SVT adjustable dampers, progressive lowering springs and unique 19-inch wheels. The suspension is designed for a wide range of motorsports, including everything from autocross to drifting, yet it remains comfortable enough for the daily commute.

Inside, buyers get Recaro seats with an embroidered Holman & Moody logo, embroidered floor mats, a short-shifter and a serial number plate, identifying the car as one of just 500 built. On the outside, there’s commemorative gold striping and a Holman & Moody license plate frame to let others know this isn’t just another 5.0-liter Mustang.

Buyers also get a one-year membership in the SVT Owners Association and exclusive access to tech support forums, where questions can be posed directly to the designers and engineers.

There’s no word on pricing, but orders will be taken starting in early 2013, with production beginning next spring. If you want more information on putting one in your own stable, you’ll find it on the Holman & Moody TdF 50th Anniversary website.

Although not yet announced by MINI UK, we are starting to learn more specifics of the F56-based MINI Challenge car as provided by AutoExpress UK including a jump of 86bhp over a stock F56 Copper S.  Additionally, clips from current MINI Challenge drivers performing early testing of the F56 MINI Challenge car are now available.  As a background, the MINI Challenge race series is a single make championship with strict part and budgetary restrictions to make it financially viable for driver teams while maintaining fairness and emphasizing driver skill.  MINI Challenge UK and the short-lived Australian MINI Challenge were fan favorites and there is no shortage of coverage here on MotoringFile and clips of races on YouTube.  The past R53 and R56 Challenge cars saw relatively few modifications to the powertrain but it appears this will be changing with the F56 Challenge car as reported by AutoExpress UK. continued →

MINI Trophy Racing Highlights Coupe’s Performance Edge

MotoringFile Sections: MINI Challenge Oct 18th, 2012 10 Comments

[Official Release] In a sense, the big rear hatch is symbolic – because the MINI Coupé is big in so many other ways as well. With its flamboyant styling and ultra-sporty driving qualities, the MINI Coupé has set new standards for driving enjoyment in the premium small-car segment. It’s now over a year since the two-seater made its first public appearance in the 24-hour endurance race on the Nürburgring North Loop, and since then the MINI Coupé has gone on to shine in normal road driving, too, with unbeatable agility and thrilling cornering performance.

The Fall Mountain Music Festival will be held the same weekend as the annual Arcadia Valley Missouri Fall Festival Parade.  Come to experience the best fall color in Missouri and enjoy Music, Music, Music everywhere!

October is the month for Fall Festivals and autumn celebrations in our region, only 80 miles from St. Louis. Planning and preparations begin weeks in advance for the community Fall Festivals and parades. The parade in Arcadia Valley is the longest running parade in the state of Missouri. . . . 86 years and counting!  The incredible floats are built by parents and students in a heavy competition which starts early in the school year as students and their parents work feverishly on fund raisers to earn money for the floats and talent competition. Then, the float building takes place. Investments in float materials runs into the thousands of dollars.  Following the parade a float viewing event is held at the historic Iron County Courthouse, along with a Mountain Music Festival. The Fall Festival is a gathering of many delightful artisans, crafters and cuisine vendors.  It's an old fashioned "homegrown" celebration rarely found these days.
Join in the "Pickin' on the Square"
Attention pickers!
Every Friday (throughout the summer leading up to the Fall Festival) between 6 & 8pm, those of you who pick and grin come show off your talents at the Courthouse Gazebo.  Bring your instruments and have some fun!  Come to pick and grin!  For more information, give Bobby Powell a call at

There’s not a fiddle player in  the Midwest that can entertain an audience like George.

Junction rock is the lower formation looming above I 70 just West of the Empire turn-off. As a South facing crag it gets very good sun most of the day and is well enough protected that it misses much of the prevailing winds. This is not a great crag, but it does host a very steep crack and face system that could turn out to be very difficult. The main feature overhangs 35 degrees continuously for 80 feet. The rock is dirty to start and does need a lot of cleaning - typical of this sector of semi-high altitude granite - but once cleaned up the rock is very solid. Overall this crag may yield half a dozen routes of decent quality, and if it gets done, the crack and face would probably be three star quality. Presently (1/21/03) two lines have been done and these take two of the best features on the crag. On the right is a layback flake/roof/slab line at mid 11 or so, and on the left is a sweet (two star) blunt arete that climbs on terrible feet with a series of relentless crimps that produce a reasonably difficult line that has cleaned up well. Junction Rock is not a major destination, but once the main lines have been completed it will be worth a stop - particularly if you happened to be stalled out on I 70 traffic.

Getting There

From I 70, take the exit for Empire/Winter Park. At the fork just off the highway, take the lane returning to I 70 West. Park on the right between signs or at a large pull out on the left at the Easter Seal Camp sign. The crag is obvious, on the right, and is best approached via the old miner's road.

I stop by in Empire frequently to climb. Thanks to those who have put so much work into Ra and Goat Rock. What a unique climbing experience. I have stopped by Junction Rock to look. I see what appear to be two lines, newly bolted on the lower crag. What do they go at? Does the upper wall hold routes? I don't want to be working lines, chalking holds if this is someone else's project. Let me know what is up, and where is this boulder?

Kennedy Airport Terror Plot Doesn't Make Times' Main Section

The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times found the Kennedy Airport terror plot worthy of the front page - but the hometown paper downplayed the threat in its own backyard.

The terror plotin NewYork City to blow up airport terminals and fuel lines at Kennedy International Airport didn't make the Times front page - or even the national news section - of Sunday's paper. Instead, it received a front-page "tease" and topped the Times' Metro sectionof regional news. By contrast, the Washington Post, put the story on the front page, and the Los Angeles Times made it Sunday's lead item.

The story by Cara Buckley and William Rashbaum went to some length to downplay the seriousness of the threat: "Mark J. Mershon, the assistant director in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation field office in New York, said all four men had 'fundamentalist Islamic beliefs of a violent nature,' although they appeared to be acting on their own and had no known connection to Al Qaeda.

"Law enforcement officials said that Kennedy, which handles roughly 45 million passengers a year and 1,000 flights a day, was never in imminent danger because the plot was only in a preliminary phase and the conspirators had yet to lay out detailed plans or obtain financing or explosives."

Later, the Times described suspect Russell Defreitas, a former cargo handler at the airport:

"One law enforcement official played down Mr. Defreitas's ability to carry out an attack, calling him 'a sad sack' and 'not a Grade A terrorist.' Comparing the case with the plot in which a group of men were arrested last month on charges of planning to attack soldiers at Fort Dix in New Jersey, the official said the New Jersey plotters 'were a bit further along.'"

Of course, the Times did its best to downplay the Fort Dix terrorists as well.

Tavis Smiley's Outrage

PBS host Tavis Smiley insisted Christians commit deadly violence "every single day in this country." Anyone in charge of journalistic integrity at PBS should see this as a blazing inaccuracy, in addition to a religious smear.

PBS station managers made a big push last year to drive any trace of "sectarian" Christianity out of the taxpayer-funded broadcasting system, banning any church services or religious lectures that appeared on a handful of stations. They ultimately compromised and banned any new church programming. But on at least one program, PBS sounds like it's declaring war on Christianity, including smears on Christianity that are not based on reality.

If that sounds shocking, imagine what the average Christian PBS viewer might have thought as he watched Tavis Smiley's weeknight talk show on May 25. The guest was ex-Muslim and atheist author Ayaan Hirsi Ali, there to promote her latest book, "Nomad." Smiley claims to be a Christian, but he attacked Ms. Ali for "idealizing Christianity" and recklessly turning people away from Islam.

Right out of the box, Smiley was out to make a point. "You say unapologetically and rather frankly that your mission here is to inform the West about the danger of Islam," he began. "What danger do we need to be made aware of?"

What? Did Tavis Smiley somehow sleep through 9/11? Is PBS keeping him locked in a closet where he remains unaware of the ongoing terrorist attacks on Americans - successful and unsuccessful - made by Islamic radicals? When Ali brought up the deaths of 13 at Fort Hood and the failed Times Square bomber, Smiley unloaded a literally unbelievable statement: "But Christians do that every single day in this country." [Audio available here.]

Ali replied: "Do they blow people up?" Smiley: "Yes. Oh, Christians, every day, people walk into post offices, they walk into schools, that's what Columbine is - I could do this all day long."

Tavis Smiley is not only wrong, he's perversely wrong. The boys who shot up Columbine High School were not Christians, they were just violent psychopaths who, among other evils, mocked students who cried out for God to save them. There aren't Christians walking into post offices or schools every single day in America and blowing people up. Anyone in charge of journalistic integrity at PBS should see this as a blazing inaccuracy, in addition to a religious smear. Men this dishonest should be kept from microphones, not hired to speak into them.

But Smiley kept going, insisting Christians were far worse than Muslim terrorists: "There are so many more examples of Christians - and I happen to be a Christian. That's back to this notion of your idealizing Christianity in my mind, to my read. There are so many more examples, Ayaan, of Christians who do that than you could ever give me examples of Muslims who have done that inside this country, where you live and work."

Who would have thought that anyone would outdo Rosie O'Donnell, who insisted radical Christianity was "just as threatening" as radical Islam?

Ali calmly explained that Christians are far more tolerant. They take abuse on television programs without threatening to blow up Comedy Central offices or promise Daniel Pearl-style decapitations for executives. She acknowledged "not all Muslims are terrorists, we must emphasize that, but almost all terrorist activities that take place today in our time are done and justified in the name of Islam."

This caused another burst of illogic from Smiley, who compared the Fort Hood attack to the Tea Party activists protesting ObamaCare on Capitol Hill. "There are folk in the Tea Party, for example, every day who are being recently arrested for making threats against elected officials, for calling people 'nigger' as they walk into Capitol Hill, for spitting on people."

Put aside the thoroughly unproven accusations, now that Rep. Emanuel Cleaver has backed off the story of conservative spitters, and there is no audio, or corroboration of the accusation of N-words being thrown. Had those events actually happened, would they in any way have been comparable to murder?

PBS has an ombudsman now to receive public complaints. Michael Getler should hear from across the country, from Christians and non-Christians alike, that Tavis Smiley must provide a retraction and an apology for his scurrilous and bigoted remarks against Christians and the billions that practice that faith. PBS stations across the country accept millions in funding from good-hearted Christian taxpayers who don't deserve to see allegedly "public" broadcasting attacking their integrity.

Seventy-seven percent of Americans call themselves Christian.

People in public broadcasting boast in their pledge drives and their direct-mail fundraising letters and in their congressional testimony that they are an oasis of civility and intelligent discourse. But they host, and help fund, the unintelligent, inaccurate garbage coming out of the mouth of Tavis Smiley. This trash belongs in the dumpster.

“The Day The Music Died.”

Today’s one of those not-so-happy days in music history, Bits and Bramblers. See, fifty years ago today, three of the world’s biggest rock and roll stars—Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and J.P. Richardson ( aka “The Big Bopper”)—were killed in a plane crash.

It’s hard to imagine something so tragic…I mean, the three of them were sort of pioneers of rock and roll music, and some of the first real rock stars ever. That’s probably why Don McLean dubbed it “The Day the Music Died.” Because it was such a huge loss, and it left their fans feeling so…hopeless.

But if there’s anything positive about something so tragic, it’s the fact that fifty years after the accident, we’re still listening to their music (which, by the way, is made of awesome.) There have been movies made about the lives of Buddy Holly and Richie Valens, and all three musicians have influenced thousands of others—everyone from The Beatles to Weezer.

And just in case you didn’t know? Don McLean wrote American Pie all about his favorite musicians. So…you could say that Buddy Holly, Richie Valens, and The Big Bopper also influenced The Jonas Brothers.

See for yourself..and feel free to sing along!

    This is a monster movie that is directed by Norwegian writer-director André Ovredal and stars Otto Jespersen, Robert Stoltenberg and Knut Nærum. I really liked this film and I highly recommend seeing it in the theaters. The film is really amazing visually and the Scandinavian landscape is magical. The actors in the film are really good as well and the audience kind of bonds with the crew. The trolls look absolutely awesome and it is truly amazing that the film is low budget, it just shows that you do not have to have a huge budget to make an amazing film. Overall, great film with great storyline and visuals.

    I loved this movie and it made me feel like a little kid again who believes in fairy tales. I really loved the storyline and the trolls. They looked amazing and I know that this movie did not have a big budget. I do not know how they did it, but the trolls look real and dangerous. Visually and technically this movie is absolutely amazing, however character wise it is not so great. The characters were not developed enough, therefore when the trolls attack you do not feel scared for them. The actor who played Hans was the only one who developed his character and basically dominated the screen by his performance. I thought that the movie had very charming moments and it is a fiest for your eyes, however it failed in character development. I recommend seeing this movie, because it is amazing visually.

    I really really liked this film. It is a comedy filmed in a style of a doc**entary movie. Thomas, Kalle and Johanna are student film makers who go to remote parts of Norway on an assignment and discover that trolls live in those parts. The movie is truly funny and visually awesome. There were plenty of trolls in the movie and they are as real looking as it gets. Special effects in the movie are not huge but very well done and enjoyable to watch. If you have read any fairy tales about trolls and know or imagine how they should look like, you will not be disappointed with how the trolls look in this film. I thought the director’s vision of the trolls is amazing and the visionary part of the movie is flawless. I recommend this movie to anyone who likes creature features. I wish there were more movies just like this. I felt giddy like a child watching this film.

  • Words by Mr Mansel Fletcher, Features Editor, MR PORTER

Some of the best-dressed men of all time are figments of the collective imagination. However, the fact that they've only ever existed on celluloid takes nothing away from the power of their style. In many ways it's the brief duration of their existence that has immortalised their sartorial perfection, because they'll never be snapped by a paparazzo while looking out of shape and unshaven, or appear at the Oscars wearing a skinny tie and trousers that are two inches too long. These fictional characters are like a concentrated shot of style, and untroubled by the vagaries of dressing every morning they will remain elegant, sharp and well dressed, even as real men age, thicken, wear trousers with an elasticated waistband, and die.

So what is it that we can learn from these guys? There's no single style here, even if there's a clear bias towards a better-dressed past, and the characters themselves range from intrepid and well-qualified archaeologists to impetuous stuntmen, and even extraterrestrials. However, there are a couple of common threads; the first is that we should dress in a way that expresses our personality, and the second is that feeling comfortable in one's clothes is a prerequisite for projecting charisma. These are the two things that every guy should strive for in his dress: authenticity and ease. It's hard to feel the latter if you aren't striving for the former.

Having established these benchmarks it's time to put them into practice. So, the next time you're trying on a jacket or a pair of trousers, just ask yourself, "Is this something that Sir Sean Connery's James Bond could have worn?" (Feel free to insert the name of the fictional character who you find most sartorially inspiring.) Whether you're in the market for a new suit or a pair of swimming trunks, it's an almost foolproof test.

  • Words by Mr Simon Bainbridge, Editor, British Journal of Photography

Until four years ago, the spiel that accompanied any new digital camera launch focused on the technical spec. Packing in dozens of marketable features - each seemingly given their own dedicated button, thumbwheel or command buried deep within the sub-menu system - digital SLRs, with their homogenous, bulky plastic bodies and intimidating array of controls, had come to resemble the interior of a Soviet-era helicopter cockpit. And even if the pixel race towards higher and higher resolutions had given way to a more sophisticated appreciation of image quality (especially a camera's low-light abilities), manufacturers still made little mention of elegance or design.

It's a far cry from Mr Henri Cartier-Bresson's paean to his Leica as "the extension of my eye" (ie, a tool that captured what he saw, but still gave him space to look), or Mr David Bailey's eulogy to the simplicity of auto-everything in his 1980s ads for Olympus that ended with the tag line, "No more snap decisions". It was Olympus that proved the game-changer once again, and with pretty much the same trick - reducing size and complexity without compromising too much on quality. The Pen E-P1 even looked like its analogue version, first launched 50 years earlier.

And what's more, the market for its self-consciously vintage design appealed way beyond a vintage-obsessed niche - it fired the imaginations of photographers who'd not been required to make any kind of emotional bond with their cameras since the analogue era. Middle-aged men wept happy, nostalgic tears, and hipsters finally had something to distinguish themselves from the homogenous masses of DSLR users other than the fashionably unreliable Lomo or Holga. Better fashionably late than never, the retro boom for cameras was born.

Catawba assists MV Faina during 4-month pirate captivity

By Gillian Brigham, SEALOGEUR Public Affairs

The crew of MV Faina stands on the deck
Nov. 9, the crew of MV Faina stands on the deck after a U.S. Navy request to check on their health and welfare. The Belize-flagged cargo ship was seized by pirates Sept. 25 and forced to proceed to anchorage off the Somali Coast. Catawba assisted Faina's crew during their time held captive.

Twice a day for four months the crew of USNS Catawba heard the voice of acting Capt. Viktor Nikolsky crackle over the radio waves to the U.S. Navy ships nearby watching his vessel. He talked about food, about medicine and about the pirates that were holding him and his crew hostage. His voice was weak and tired but, despite the circumstances, unflappably positive. Every night he ended his transmission with the same farewell: "Good night, good dreams to you, your crew and your captain."

Catawba Third Mate Robert Tenenholz listened in on these calls each day.

"Even though it was tough for him, he was always very respectful and very thankful," said Tenenholz. "It is a true testament to why his crew was able to make it through more than four months in captivity."

Nikolsky was the first mate aboard the Ukrainian-owned, Belize-flagged cargo ship MV Faina when it was captured by Somali pirates in the Indian Ocean on Sept. 25. The ship's captain reportedly died of a heart attack shortly after the ship was captured, leaving Nikolsky and Faina's remaining 19 crew members at the mercy of the Somali pirates.

The ship, which was carrying 33 Soviet-made tanks and other ammunition, was quickly surrounded by U.S. Navy ships in the region because of concerns that the sensitive cargo would fall into the wrong hands.

Military Sealift Command fleet ocean tug USNS Catawba, led by civil service master Capt. Charles Rodriguez, was one of the ships U.S. 5th Fleet sent to keep watch over Faina during the long months the ship's ransom was being negotiated.

The U.S. Navy remained within visual range of Faina and maintained a 24-hour, 7-day-a-week presence. The ship was attacked on Sept. 25 and forced to proceed to anchorage off the Somali coast. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class Michael R. McCormick

Of the 134 days Faina's crew spent in captivity, Catawba was present for 110 of them, arriving on-scene in mid-October a couple weeks after the ship was captured.

While the pirates were on board, Faina was kept anchored eight miles off the coast of Hobyo, Somalia. Catawba joined guided-missile cruiser USS Vella Gulf and guided-missile destroyers USS Mason and USS Mahan near Faina's position.

During Catawba's time on station, the crew acted as though they were out at sea on a routine mission. They ran weekly fire and boat drills. They conducted basic training and the daily upkeep of the vessel. But they also prepared for the threats and contingency plans associated with their mission. Catawba frequently drilled with the other U.S. Navy ships in the vicinity and let visit, board, search and seizure teams practice boarding and searching Catawba.

Catawba and the U.S. Navy combatants assigned to keep watch over Faina were also re-supplied multiple times by MSC fleet replenishment oilers USNS Laramie, USNS Patuxent and USNS Tippecanoe.

After four months of eyeing the pirates from a distance, circling Faina and listening to Nikolsky's nightly battle to remain hopeful in the face of mounting despair, there was a breakthrough.

On Feb. 5, a helicopter flying over the deck of Faina dropped a package containing the $3.2-million ransom needed to free the ship from its captors. The pirates soon made their escape.

Catawba's crew immediately began making preparations to get Faina underway. The tug tied up alongside the cargo ship and sent Chief Mate Richard Satter and Third Assistant Engineer Bryan Villanova aboard after U.S. Navy security teams conducted a safety sweep of the vessel.

While aboard the freed ship, Satter and Villanova supervised as Faina received the necessary fuel from Catawba to get underway.

"From an engineering standpoint, the T-ATF class of tugs is not designed to refuel ships at sea," said Villanova. "But with a bit of ingenuity we were able to rig a two-and-a-half inch hose that we normally use to refuel ourselves from T-AOs. We gave them about 6,500 gallons of fuel, which took about an hour of pumping time."

The two mariners also prepped the ship to be towed by Catawba although, ultimately, Faina was able to sail into port on its own power.

Before getting underway, Catawba's crew filled up their ship's five-gallon jugs with water for Faina's mariners. The tug crew donated shoes, shirts, coveralls, socks, underwear, shampoo, soap, Gatorade and food. In a final act of generosity, the civil service mariners aboard Catawba personally gave more than $2,100 to help Faina's crew get back on their feet.

"It really wasn't about Ukrainians, Russians or Americans anymore," said Tenenholz. "It was about merchant mariners lending a hand to those we share an ocean with. There was nothing more rewarding than being able to help put a smile on the face of our fellow mariners after their five months in captivity."

Villanova even exchanged e-mail addresses with one of Faina's engineers so they could keep in touch.

Thank you letter from MV Faina crew

"I will remember this for the rest of my life," said Villanova. "I'm glad I was here and able to help, honored even to be asked to represent my country in aid to this ship."

At midnight on Feb. 7, Faina finally set sail and was escorted by Catawba and Mason to Mombasa, Kenya, where the ship's crew disembarked and flew home to the Ukraine.

Prior to Faina's arrival in Kenya, Nikolsky and his crew sent a letter to Rodriguez and the other mariners aboard Catawba. In the note, Nikolsky thanked Catawba's crew for saving their lives.

"We had the opportunity to do something that, in the end, was really, really, significant," said Rodriguez of the tug's mission. "Captain Nikolsky's letter brought it home to each of us. He let us know how truly significant our seemingly endless routine of standing by to provide assistance had been."

"The letter sent by the captain of MV Faina was the best letter I have received in my entire life," agreed Catawba's supply officer Efren Apostol. "I feel so proud of being a member of MSC."

Pop Prints at Original Penguin

original penguin
The invitation was intriguing...It was printed with retro blooms on one side and polka dots on the other, with a bunch of white bobby pins attached.  Was this a teaser of vintage inspired outfits? White hardware on clothes?

The Fall 2012 presentation at their Soho boutique answered the question.   Guests perused the sunny presentation with Mimosas, mini lox bagels and homemade pop tarts.

Sweet cardigans in bright coral, turquoise and black and white topped flirty mini dresses.  Cropped cigarette pants and pastel knits evoked the 1960's sweater girl.  A-line printed or brightly colored solid cotton coats made the perfect topper for chillier autumn nights.

I love that flowers are blooming and fall fashion will too.  At least I have something to look forward to when summer is over!

Michigan State Notes

Spartans Ride Winning Streak Into Conference Opener
Michigan State enters this weekend's Big Ten opener with Iowa as the hottest team in the conference. At 17-4 and winners of their last 11 games, the Spartans are off their best start since 1992 when they started with an identical record. MSU's 11-game winning streak is the longest since 2004 when it won 12 straight.

Note that this weekend is fan appreciation weekend at McLane Baseball Stadium - fans can attend all three games free of charge.

Defense First
The Spartans entered this week as the nation's top defensive team, ranked No. 1 in fielding percentage at .987 when the NCAA statistics were released on Tuesday. Currently, the Green and White have committed just 12 errors this season, seven less than the next closest team in the conference (Michigan, 19).

One of the Best Starts in School History
At 17-4, the Spartans are off to one of the best starts in school history through 21 games. The last MSU team to start 17-4 was the 1992 team. The 1971 team that captured the Big Ten title started 23-4.

More About the Streak
Needless to say the Spartans have put up some impressive stats over their 11-game winning streak, here are a few numbers that stand out: As a team MSU has hit .339 while Spartan pitching has held opponents to a .243 average...Six starters have hit above .300 during the streak, including four with over a .415 average...MSU has swiped 33 of their 53 bases this season durring the streak while defensively, it has committed just six errors...The Spartan pitching staff has posted an ERA of just 2.64, having given up just 33 runs.

Fast Starts
One of they keys to the Spartans' winning streak has been their ability to score early. In each of their last six games, the Spartans have put up runs in the first inning while holding their opponents scoreless. Over their 11-game winning streak, MSU has outscored opponents, 21-5, in the first inning; on the season, they hold a 30-10 advantage in the first frame.

Another Sweep
Michigan State got its second consecutive sweep last weekend, taking all four games from Oakland. The Spartans previously took a three-game set from Notre Dame March 20-22, in South Bend, Ind. It's the second season in a row that MSU has swept teams consecutively: Last season, it had back-to-back series sweeps over Iowa (April 24-26) and Penn State (May 1-3). Prior to that, the Spartans' last consecutive series sweeps came against Charleston Southern and Eastern Kentucky in March 2002.

The Spartans' have three shutouts in their last eight games and a total of four this season. The last time the Spartans blanked four opponents in a season was 2002, when they also had four shutouts. MSU's two shutouts in its three-game series with Notre Dame marked the first time they blanked an opponent twice in a series (also since 2002).

Eckerle Rolling
Junior Brandon Eckerle enters this weekend's series with a team season-high 10-game hitting streak. The hot-hitting Eckerle is currently hitting .391 and has an on-base percentage of .476. He has also swipped 14 bases - second most on the team. His 29 runs scored leads the Big Ten.

Offensive Power and Balance
The Spartans have received production up and down the lineup this season, combining to rank third in the Big Ten in batting average (.326), first in on-base percentage (.420) and second in runs (178) and RBI (159). MSU currently has seven players (Chris Roberts, Bo Felt, Eli Boike, Jeff Holm, Andrew Carpenter, Ryan Jones and Brandon Eckerle) with at least 15 RBI.

Patience at the Place
The Spartans have demonstrated a high degree of patience at the plate this season, as they lead the Big Ten in walks with 101 and rank in the bottom half of the league (seventh) in strikeouts with 121. MSU's .420 on-base percentage leads the conference.

Off and Running
The Spartans lead the Big Ten in stolen bases with 53 - 10 more than second-place Purdue. At the time NCAA statistics were released on Tuesday, MSU ranked 16th nationally with an average of 2.4 stolen bases per game and ranked 22nd in total stolen bases, then 48. With 53 stolen bags already, the Spartans are on pace to smash last season's mark of 71. The school record is 98, set in 2005.

Jeff Holm and Brandon Eckerle have been the most active on the basepaths, as each is perfect in stolen-base attempts. Holm is a perfect 16-for-16, which is tied for the best in the conference, while Eckerle is 14-for-14, which is fifth-best in the Big Ten.

Achter Leads Pitching Staff
A.J. Achter enters Friday's start a perfect 3-0 with an ERA of 1.52 which is second-best in the conference. Achter has settled into the role of No. 1 starter quite well so far this season: through six starts, his 38 strikeouts and .216 opponent batting average both rank in the top three in the conference.

Achter became the second Spartan to earn Big Ten Pitcher of the Week honors this season after garnering the honor March 29 after throwing his first career complete-game shutout in a 13-0 win over Notre Dame. The righty struck out a career-high nine batters while scattering seven hits and allowing just three walks in the win.

Despite solid performances in his first three starts, it took Achter until his fourth game of the year to get his first victory: Achter got plenty of run support as he went seven complete innings in the Spartans' 17-2 romp over Jacksonville State on March 11.

Fourth Annual Crosstown Showdown On Tap Next Week
The Spartans and Toronto Blue Jays Class-A affiliate Lansing Lugnuts will square off in the fourth annual Crosstown Showdown this Wednesday (April 7) at 7:05 p.m. at Cooley Law School Stadium (formerly Oldsmobile Park).

Last season, the Spartans and Lugnuts agreed to extend the Crosstown Showdown through 2012. MSU picked up its first win in the series in 2009 with a 12-2 win before a record crowd of 12,922. The past two events have drawn the two largest crowds in Cooley Stadium history.

What Does Kim Kardashian Really Think Of Seth Rogen’s ‘Bound 2′ Parody?

Kardashian said the man-on-man remake from the two actor buddies is 'sooo funny.'

Who says Kim Kardashian can’t take a joke? A day after the world was gifted with the hirsute shot-for-shot remake of Kanye West’s “Bound 2″ from Hollywood buds Seth Rogen and James Franco, Yeezy’s fiancée gave the hilarious “Bound 3″ spoof her stamp of approval.

“It’s so funny. I love it,” Kardashian told the paparazzi on Monday night as made her way into Kanye’s New York apartment, according to TMZ.

The co-sign echoed what Kardashian said earlier in the day, when she linked to the mantastic remake. “You nailed it!!!,” she wrote. “Sooo funny!”

The actors uploaded their version on Monday, paying homage to West’s spectacularly weird, Windows 97 screensaver-esque music video for the track. According to a title card at the beginning of the video, this is the result of the two having some downtime and, apparently, a green screen, on the set of their upcoming comedy, “The Interview.”

Servin' it hot and fresh since '99.

A Memory Of Financial Aid Blessings

Comments Off Written on October 2nd, 2010 by
Categories: Alumni, Financial Aid, General

Recently, an alum sent us some encouragement regarding our efforts to always improve how we deal with student financial aid.

A few years ago, I was reminded about the wonderful blessing I received from the Student Aid fund in 1969.  I put that experience in writing and I have attached it to this email.  I hope it will be a blessing to you also. Read the rest of this entry »

Calling teachers .. what ate naughty boy names?

(130 Posts)
MyNewVenture Tue 04-Dec-12 17:18:23

Middle class naughty boy names rather than 'Shane' type names. For non teachers, who are the naughty boys in your child's class?

blondefriend Sun 09-Dec-12 20:08:14

I feel like I need to apologise before answering but I mentioned this to another teacher just last week. Three students not finished their coursework for me - Josh, Josh and James. All bright, sociable young men but organisation is not their strong point.

I named my son Charlie because all the Charlie's I've taught have been sweet, cheeky and pleasant. Not always the brightest but nice.

As a teacher I couldn't name my own child with the same name as student I've taught that was naughty because I would always associate them with that individual (Callum jumps to mind) but I wouldn't ask other teachers their opinions as I might be left with no names at all.

Astralabe Mon 10-Dec-12 20:59:08

messybedhead Mon 10-Dec-12 21:16:48

Even my not particularly bright 3 year old (who probably has a naughty name as he is a naughty child himself) has recently told me

'Mum, every single Callum is naughty'.

Sometimes he tells me about naught Callum, but you know, not that naughty Callum, the other one! grin

MrsDeVere Mon 10-Dec-12 21:27:53

I do not buy the 'social economic link'.
It is like saying 'well how can you argue that black people are not more likely to be criminal when so many are pulled over by the police?'

A Jayden and a Kaden and a Finn and a Noah may all be doing the same sort of thing.

Jayden and Kaden are naughty, aggressive and disruptive but Finn and Noah are bright, easily bored and boisterous.

Jayden and Kaden have to behave twice as well as Finn and Noah to avoid being labelled negatively.

Frankly I think there should be an equivalent of Godwin's Law for Freakanomics.

Does Prep School have authority to prevent tuition

(9 Posts)
homebythesea Thu 06-Dec-12 13:35:48

Is his CE requirement 65% in all papers or an average of 65% across all papers? The latter clearly gives a little leeway!

LondonParis Thu 06-Dec-12 12:14:28

Thank you all for your input. Never studied maths in English system myself so best for me to get help. Will try to find tutor through other mums at school, or ask formally that support is provided by school itself. Minimum required 65%at level just below scholarship so he needs support.

Mutteroo Wed 05-Dec-12 04:39:41

Shouldn't worry about it OP.

DS did badly in his first mock. He'd moved from a state school to a prep in year 7 so was unprepared for the amount of testing preps do. Final maths CE score was 90 something % (I forget exactly the score offhand). He flew through the rest of the CE papers and happily accepted his non selective senior first choice school, picking it over his second choice selective school. DS is now studying Maths & further Maths A Levels which kind of proves his weak Maths CE mock was just a blip. I'm sure your son's school know what they're doing, because as you say, they've a good track record.

happygardening Tue 04-Dec-12 19:30:31

I dont think the school has a "legal authority" to prevent you from doing anything, although obvioulsy logistically its harder when your DC is at boarding school. What CE mark is he required to get? And at what level as far as I remember maths like Latin is in levels? If you hoping for 70%+ at the higher level then I think you are right to be worried if you only need 55% then I think you will find that it will all be ok. What have his previous marks been? Does he have a problem with maths? Whats the school saying?

trinity0097 Tue 04-Dec-12 18:12:01

Can he have extra maths lessons through the learning support dept in school?

As a teacher of CE in a prep school, 40% is not awful now, he should improve enough to get at least 55%. The iseb practice exercise book is great, far better than the iseb revision guide as it full of CE style questions, buy this and get your son to do some over Xmas with you.

Annelongditton Tue 04-Dec-12 13:41:14

DS just sat his 1st lot of CE mocks. Some of the boys didn't do well in maths, but this was the first time they had sat a level 3 exam for all 3 papers, and the school hasn't finished teaching the syllabus yet.
There are 2 further lots of mocks before CE next May and a lot of maths teaching time. DS's school has an excellent track record for CE results and nobody is worried, everyone was told that the 1st mocks are to set a benchmark and you then target higher for the next lots of mocks.
If the school doesn't think there is a problem, then there probably isn't one, but tutoring will probably make you feel better! You can always but the ISEB practice papers (and answers!) from the Galore Park site and practice with DS during the holidays.
It must be difficult worrying about it when he is away at school, and you feel you can't do anything to help, but he is having maths lessons everyday. I think you need to speak to the school and ask if he is on course for his CE mark, how did he do against his classmates looking for similar CE scores etc. It is probably the lack of information that is making you nervous and you need reassurance, or you need to know what their action plan is.

homebythesea Tue 04-Dec-12 12:50:40

Presume you are talking about 13 CE?

This will have been the first Mock exam they do. There will be another formal test in about March based on my recent experience. In the meantime they will go through zillions of practice papers. Honestly I would not get on your high horse about this at this stage. Prep schools in the main are extremely experienced in geting the kids through the CE at the right level at the right time. 40% at this stage is not "poor"

And as for getting a tutor in to a Boarding school. REALLY? You envisage a stranger going in to a residential setting? What if everyone wanted to do this? Can you not see the chaos this would cause the school, let alone the Child Protection issues arising. If you feel your DS needs extra help of course get a tutor in the holidays but to talk about the school "preventing" anything is barking

annh Tue 04-Dec-12 09:43:21

Are the school really not doing anything or are they actually doing everything they can and maybe your son is just not up to the demands of CE Maths? Was his result in the mocks a surprise or does it reflect his actual ability?

I don't know about the legal position of tutoring during term when your son is at boarding school but would imagine that the school would be within their rights to either refuse to allow an external tutor on school premises or to arrange for your son to travel off the school site to tutoring. It's not clear if you have actually asked them or if you are anticipating a problem that may not arise? Maybe it is the tutor's wish to tutor during the holidays because of his own workload/travel arrangements?

LondonParis Tue 04-Dec-12 09:16:58

My son si preparing CE and has had poor mock CE Maths results 40%. School does not propose any action, I am asking for help but they won't do anything. I have decided to try additional tuition for my son, but the tutor is telling me to organise "during the holiday". Does the school have legal authority to prevent me from organising private tuition for my son during the week, given he is at boarding school ?

I'm not cut out for this!

(36 Posts)
GracieLoo Wed 05-Dec-12 14:21:11

I've spent the last few days crying over anything. I can't cope with being a mum, only just picked up LO from nursery, and we're both crying. I'm snappy, emotional, have no patience and keep saying stuff I regret. I don't like how I am, I'm not a good mum.

I've tried phoning HV, my cc, I've texted a friend I can confide in and no one is around to talk. I need to talk, I need someone to look after LO better than me. I don't want to be here. Trying so hard, planned to put tree up and make gingerbread men today but I'm just in my room crying. LO hates me, she's rude, whingy and nothing I do is right. I can't do this!

TheSilverPussycat Wed 05-Dec-12 18:41:50

Stop planning things for the time being, it makes you feel worse if you don't then fulfil your plans.

Sit and watch some kids TV with LO.

with warm wishes

GracieLoo Wed 05-Dec-12 20:03:50

Things got a bit better after tea, she sat with me to do her Xmas cards for her friends. But she's gone to bed and I feel like the worse mum ever. Feel so detached, feel like I'm not really here. Coming off venlafaxine at my request, as never felt there was much improvement. But feeling the way I am now maybe there was. Just don't feel like fighting this anymore.

Nothing is making me happy, everything is making me stressed and on edge, and I shouldn't be here. So tearful, miserable and it's all my fault. Feel so sad for my family they have to put up with me.

TheReturnOfBridezilla Wed 05-Dec-12 20:10:34

Tomorrow is a new day, give her lots of cuddles and tell her how much you love her. Also, stop berating yourself - you are far from the worst mum in the world, you're just having a hard time of it at the moment. This isn't you, it's the illness.

addictedtolatte Wed 05-Dec-12 20:13:47

Don't be so down on yourself your not bad mum if you suffer depression. Its not your fault. Go back docs and explain you need some help with different anti-ds maybe. My ds hates m every week at least but I just accept he's a child and its his job to be annoying, obnoxious and grumpy lol. Just take each day as it comes and don't plan its far too stressful.

Big hug from me

amillionyears Wed 05-Dec-12 20:45:53

I've noticed you havent been around for a while. So I think you have been doing very well.

Can I ask whether it is the time of month iyswim, if you dont mind me asking?

GracieLoo Wed 05-Dec-12 21:16:08

I haven't been too good for a while, had other places to vent, but don't want to burden people.

amillionyears Wed 05-Dec-12 21:24:25

Glad you have other places to vent. Sorry you havent been so good.
You are a good mum.
LO doesnt hate you. She may be whiny and cross right now, but she does not hate you.
You do a lot of the parenting single handed. That is hard going.
Agree with the other posters. Not every day goes to plan. There is plenty of time to put the tree up. Mine and probably millions of others are not up yet.

GracieLoo Wed 05-Dec-12 21:35:11

I think what's upsetting me is I just don't care this year. The last couple of xmas's weren't easy, but I still enjoyed it for LO. We did get the tree up but it wasn't fun, the needles are already really dropping and I feel like I can't even get that right and feel like throwing the whole lot outside. I usually love wrapping presents but I can't be bothered. LO is growing up and I can't handle it.

The meds reduction is making me have dizzy spells and palpitations. I'm dreading bed, dreading waking up and ruining lo's day again.

amillionyears Wed 05-Dec-12 22:06:15

You cant help needles dropping! I gave up with the needles dropping ones. Too much like hard work. Fake all the way. Everyone else in our household preferred them.
You dont need to wrap presents yet if you dont want to. I always wait till I am in the mood. And I havent bought all of them yet.
Not sure what you mean about LO growing up and you cant handle it.

It sounds like you have reduced your meds but not talked it over properly with your GP. I would have thought that that might be the reason you are struggling a lot at the moment. Can you go and speak to the GP soon about this?

Fake trees all the way was what I meant to post.

I am wasting her early years by being like this, and I'm finding her more difficult to cope with as she's becoming naughtier and more aware. So her behaviour is probably due to me being depressed.

My psychiatrist, GP and cc are aware of the medication reduction, i said I don't like being on them, they said I can have 2 weeks off to see how I feel. But was then given no extra support.

amillionyears Wed 05-Dec-12 22:20:48

How many days have you been on the reduction.
And are you on say half the normal dose?

How old is your LO. 3 years old? Dont say on here if you dont want to.

Surely you should be coming off the meds gradually not just trying without them for two weeks? Sorry if I misunderstood. I came across some jottings in one of my old diaries about things to make you can do to make you happier. I know it is a lot to do with brain chemistry but it is worth a try. I will dig it out and post later for you.

I was on 150 and decreasing by 37.5 every few days. But when I went to GP they hadn't received fax yet so prescribed a weeks worth, I missed a day at wkend, got all confused. Maybe I should stay on them, but I still felt suicidal and messed up, as well as fat and tired, just less tearful.

Coming off venlafaxine can be horrific, it's no wander you've had a bad day?
How long have you been on it?
And decreasing your dosage every few days is going way too rapidly, you should be doing it over a period of weeks.
If you don't like the venlafaxine, are you going to be put on something else?
Are you having any therapeutic support?

kerstina Wed 05-Dec-12 23:08:06

I would do it more gradually and controlled than that. It is not worth the risk of going too downhill. If you felt that way on them I would have thought swapping meds would be better. What other meds have you tried?

GracieLoo Wed 05-Dec-12 23:13:16

I've been on it a few months, but od'd on it a couple of times at the beginning so messed about with it I suppose. The psych suggested coming off it by 50mls and I could be off in in two weeks? But GP and cc disagreed with this. I don't feel I'm being treated well or taken seriously, plus don't feel there's anyone I can speak to when it gets so bad. Care co ordinator is always too busy.

LO is nearly 4 btw. I'm on the waiting list for group therapy, been on lots of different ad's, had psychotherapy and been in a day hospital for 2 weeks. I'm up and down all the time, and I really don't see me getting through this, think it's going to win one day.

Right, you are obviously suffering from drug resistant depression, which is fairly common.
The depression is not going to win as you still have options.
A more traditional option, which is successful and carried out under a ga nowadays is ECT.
Iatemyskinnyperson posted on a another depression thread the other day as her b-I-l had it a couple of years ago.
So perhaps try pming her to ask some questions.
Another option that is still under evaluation at the moment but looks very promising is 'ketamine infusion therapy', you can find more info on it here:

Yes it's in Oxford and I don't know where you are based but if you had a cancer and could get better treatment by travelling, you'd do it, wouldn't you?

Have you had cbt based treatment?

Just wanted to give you a hug, and say I know how you feel.

If you feel like your psych isn't listening to you, then request to see another one. Are these the first ADs you have tried? There are loads of options medication wise, and also therapy wise. Finding a type of both that works for you can make a world of difference.

GracieLoo Thu 06-Dec-12 08:38:29

I can't do this. Can't even cope with getting ready in mornings. Sat crying on my bed, wanting to cut myself.

amillionyears Thu 06-Dec-12 09:27:52

Who do you trust most. Your GP or your pschiatrist?

SirBoobAlot Thu 06-Dec-12 10:38:10

As someone who has fallen back into cutting again after such a long time clean, please don't, Gracie. Its a horrible pit to try and claw your way back out of, and it never fixes anything, just adds into the cycle. <hugs>

GracieLoo Thu 06-Dec-12 16:46:21

I don't really trust many of the professionals but seeing my care co ordinator tomorrow. Just never know what to say. If I cry I can't speak, if I don't cry I feel they think I'm fine. Bought a bottle of wine tonight, I know it doesn't help in the long term but it will help me tonight, just to numb things for a bit. Wish I'd stockpiled more meds.

Tried really hard to be more patient with LO today and give her more cuddles. Took her to a soft play and she was saying she was stuck and crying but wouldn't let me help her. I had to walk away before I lost it, my sister dealt with her. I'm dreading ruining Xmas for her.

Also, just looking through my phone, and have hardly any replies from anyone, makes me feel very alone. Two friends who said I could phone them when needed to, have just ignored me. Think I am too much of a burden.

SirBoobAlot Thu 06-Dec-12 17:43:14

You're not a burden, but try and remember that things come up for other people too. That doesn't mean you're not important - it just means their lives take over sometimes.

You walked away and let someone else deal with it before you lost your temper; that's great!

Be careful with the wine, its a depressive, and as tempting as it is to drink when you're feeling low, it can just make things worse.
