Sammy goes deep [1:57 AM]
Buffalo News reports: 'Once again, it was the Sammy Watkins Show. The rookie receiver from Clemson wowed the crowd with his speed, twice getting behind defenders for long touchdown passes from EJ Manuel, once in one-on-one drills and again in 11-on-11 work.'
Sammy Watkins dazzles at Bills camp [1:56 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'Might this have been a prelude to the upcoming Bills season? Fans sure hope so. So does the coaching staff, for that matter.'
Buffalo native Naaman Roosevelt rejoins the Bills [1:55 AM]
Rochester D&C reports: 'He spent the past two seasons on NFL practice squads, with the Detroit Lions last season and the Cleveland Browns in 2012.'
EJ Manuel getting comfortable with Sammy Watkins [1:54 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'Watkins may be stealing the show early in camp, but there have been plenty of developments in the first two practices.'
Toronto native Stefan Charles doesn't see why anyone would want to move Bills from Buffalo [1:53 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: '"I like it here, so I don't see why the Bills would want to leave here," he said. "The fans are great, the city's great."'
Sammy Watkins injury: Bills rookie gets poked in the eye at practice [1:52 AM]
Syracuse Post-Standard reports: 'The Bills have already had some bad luck with injuries, so watching Watkins go down put a scare into them for a second. Luckily the rookie won't miss a beat.'
Bills receiving little love from national media [1:51 AM]
Watertown Daily Times reports: 'For a successful season which is now measured by making the playoffs for the first time since 1999 everything rides on Manuels ability. Its only his second season but hes under the gun to produce to make the franchise attractive for a potential buyer. Lets hope its not either rocker Jon Bon Jovi, who wants to move the team to Toronto, or loudmouth Donald Trump, who would initiate the Buffalo Shuffle, namely firing a massive amount of on-and-off personnel.'
Bon Jovi 'would do the right thing', keep Bills in Buffalo: Jaworski [1:51 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"I know for a fact Jon never said he was going to move the team to Toronto," Jaworski said in an interview at St. John Fisher College, before the Bills' afternoon practice. "I think there was much speculation because people tried to read the tea leaves and said he's talking to guys from Toronto, so he must be trying to move the team to Toronto.'
Continually troubled Marcell Dareus fails conditioning tests [1:50 AM]
Toronto Sun reports: '"He's just a young guy, but at the same time we hold him accountable just like everybody else," star defensive end Mario Williams said.'
Jon Bon Jovi in the running to buy the Bills [1:49 AM]
New York Post reports: 'Despite Bon Jovis Toronto-laden ownership group, the constant speculation around the league about the Bills moving there or to Los Angeles appears to be overblown and more than a bit misguided.'
Spartanburg High product Cohen signs with Buffalo Bills [1:48 AM]
Charleston Post and Courier reports: 'We got it all figured out Saturday night, just a phone call, Cohen said in a phone interview Monday night. I'm familiar with some of the guys here, some of the coaches and a little bit of the scheme. I decided that this was the best fit for me.'
Its in our interest for the Bills to stay in Buffalo [1:47 AM]
Montreal Gazette reports: 'If the Toronto group succeeds in acquiring the Bills and moving them to Toronto, it might be good for Toronto but it would be bad for the CFL, CFL cities and Canada. The broad public interest in this country is to see the Toronto bid fail.'
Welcome to Camp Hope [1:46 AM]
SI reports: 'Get the idea? The honeymoon idea? These people arent hungry. Theyre famished. The Bills havent made the playoffs in this century. Theyve had nine straight losing seasons. Imagine not winning 10 games in the past 14 years. Fourteen!'
The Sammy Show [1:45 AM]
SI reports: 'He showed why Whaley surrendered first- and fourth-round picks in the 2015 draft to move up five spots in the first round last May so the Bills could pick him. Smart? Well see. The price was beyond exhorbitant, particularly for a team that still plans to key its offense around the running game. Watkins talent is tantalizing. And for a team languishing in sub-mediocrity for the past 14 seasons, his arrivals been like a B-12 shot: energizing.'
Watkins Wows, But in the End Its Up to E.J. [1:44 AM]
SI reports: 'How this team can be 124: Two big things have to happen. Very big. E.J. Manuel has to be more of a chance-taker with two good outside receivers, Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods...Second thing: Marcell Dareus, on the non-football injury list early in camp for failing the conditioning test, has to grow up.'
Sammy Watkins already looks like 'The Guy' at Bills training camp [1:43 AM]
Fox Sports reports: 'It's stories like those, and performances like the one Watkins had on Monday, that have this entire franchise giddy. In the midst of a 14-year postseason drought, five years removed from their last season in which they had more than six victories and a month after losing playmaking linebacker Kiko Alonso to a torn ACL, the Bills have plenty of hope. And Watkins is a major reason why.'
Bills DT Dareus to enter substance abuse program [1:42 AM]
AP reports: 'Marrone provided the update after practice Monday, in the latest twist in Dareus' troubled offseason. Dareus was scheduled to return to camp in suburban Rochester later in the day.'
Bills sign Landon Cohen, Naaman Roosevelt [1:41 AM]
AP reports: 'To make room, the Bills released receiver Ramses Barden and linebacker Nathan Williams. The free agent signings Monday come a day after the Bills opened training camp in suburban Rochester.'
Bills sign WR Roosevelt, DT Cohen [1:40 AM]

Bills DT Dareus failed conditioning test [1:39 AM]

Bills' Dareus excused from camp for court date in Alabama [1:38 AM]

Bills' Marrone mum on Glenn's illness [1:37 AM]
WGR-AM reports: '"I don't know that. It's a medical condition. I'm preparing to go on as if he's not playing, which he's not," Marrone said. "I'm just waiting for the doctors, and I can't speak about the condition because it's something that happened outside of football."'
Naaman Roosevelt back with the Bills [1:36 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Roosevelt will be joined on the roster by former seventh-round pick and defensive tackle Landon Cohen. The 6-foot-2, 300-pound Cohen played with both the Dallas Cowboys and Chicago Bears last season and has eight career starts since entering the league in 2008. He was added likely as a result of the Bills being without both Marcell Dareus and Alan Branch (Active/Non-Football Injury) to start camp.'
Bills' Bradham gets first crack at weakside; devastated for Alonso [1:35 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Any way I can contribute to the team, I know they're counting on me to step up, Bradham remarked. They know what I can do and I know what I can do. We can't replace Kiko but you can have some guys step up and make some plays just as well, and that's one of the things you have to do."'
Bills training camp observations: Day 2 [1:34 AM]
WGR-AM reports: 'Sammy Watkins picked a great day to have his best practice as a member of the Buffalo Bills. With the bigwigs at ESPN, NFL Network, FoxSports1 and the MMQB all in attendance on Monday afternoon, Watkins put on a show for all to see.'
Buffalo Bills aiming to become NFL's next worst-to-first wonder [1:33 AM]
NFL.com reports: 'The situation here feels urgent. As Whaley alluded to, the once-proud Bills last played more than 16 games -- a birthright during the halcyon heyday of Jim Kelly and Co. -- in 1999, and the only owner the franchise has known, Ralph Wilson Jr., passed away in March. The team is up for sale. The brass dealt their 2015 first-round pick to move up five spots in May's draft and come away with Sammy Watkins. Last year's No. 1 was spent on a quarterback. The feeling here, very clearly, is that the time is now.'
D turns up heat, Watkins shines [1:32 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'With the crowd noise and the music that coach Marrone has playing during practice its causing us to communicate and guys are just flying around to the ball, Hughes told Buffalobills.com. When you turn on the film its looking great.'
Doug Marrone: Sammy Watkins ''a fearless player'' [1:31 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'We brought him in here to do that and hes done a really good job. He has. Hes made plays in this camp. You guys have seen it. We just need to make sure that we continue developing him. Hes going against good players. Hes working with the first team, so hes going against our corners and all of our guys. Hes a good football player and I think its one that, you sit there and the guy is making plays. I think a lot of people are excited.'
Bills bring back WR Roosevelt, sign DT Cohen [1:30 AM]
BuffaloBills.com reports: 'Roosevelt (6-0, 200) returns to the Bills after spending parts of two seasons with the team from 2010 to 2011. He appeared in 16 games and recorded 25 receptions for 396 yards and a touchdown. The University at Buffalo product now gives the Bills four Buffalo natives on their roster, joining Derek Brim, Corey Graham, and Mike Williams.'
Futures hang in balance at Bills' camp [1:32 PM]
Olean Times Herald reports: 'But for those currently employed by the team specifically, front office staffers, scouting personnel and coaches theres a more immediate reality. No matter, the team will have a new owner, possibly even before 2015. And those buying pro sports franchises given their enormous value have historically put their own people in the positions of greatest responsibility. Thats why theres so much inferred pressure on President/CEO Russ Brandon, General Manager Doug Whaley and head coach Doug Marrone, in particular.'

Plymouth, N.H. - October 13, 2010 - Amy Dean scored with 2:40 left in regulation to lift the Springfield College field hockey team to its fifth-straight victory by virtue of a 2-1 win at Plymouth State on Wednesday afternoon.
The Pride scored twice in the last 13 minutes of the game to pull out the victory and improve to 7-5 overall. PSU got a nice goal on a corner in the first half from senior Kristina Conroy but saw its six-game winning streak come to an end and dropped to 8-4.
The first half featured a lot of back and forth play in the midfield but very few good scoring opportunities for either team. PSU finally broke through with 11:20 to play in the half as freshman Jackie Morin slid a pass across the top of the circle, where sophomore Olivia Colborn fired a shot toward the cage and Conroy redirected it into the goal. It was Conroy's seventh of the season and stood as the only goal of the first 35 minutes.
The second half was much of the same, as the defenses tightened when the ball got into the circle and few shots were allowed. PSU clung to the one-goal lead until junior Alexa Carlson scored for Springfield with 12:34 on the clock after a scramble near the left goal post, evening the match at 1-1.
The game appeared headed to overtime but the Pride had other ideas. Springfield was awarded a penalty corner with slightly less than three minutes remaining, and converted for the eventual game-winner. Sophomore Kayla Sokol took the corner, Carlson stopped it and passed to Dean, who fired a rocket into the goal that Panther goalie Hilary Lemelin had little chance at.
Plymouth State finished with a slim 12-9 advantage in shot, while Springfield had more penalty corners by a 9-6 count. Lemelin made two saves in the Panther goal, and junior Alison McCarthy earned the win for the Pride with a nine-save effort.
Springfield plays a New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) game Saturday at Wheaton (12 noon).

All scooters aren't created equally, and the 2009 Honda Silver Wing's two models–the 2009 Honda Silver Wing Base and 2009 Honda Silver Wing ABS–definitely prove that. With specifications that match its competitors, but a size that makes it one of the largest scooters on the market, the Honda Silver Wing truly is a one-of-a-kind bike.
When looking at the 2009 Honda Silver Wing, the one thing that stands out is its size. While some scooters barely weigh 200 pounds, the Honda Silver Wing measures in at a massive 540-pound wet weight and features a wheelbase of 62.8 inches, making it one of the largest touring bikes on the market. A 29.7-inch seat height gives riders a great view of the open road in front of them, while a 4.2-gallon fuel capacity permits a Silver Wing owner to go long distances before filling up with gasoline. For added visual appeal, the Honda Silver Wing has a sleek plastic touring body and steel frame.
Still, despite its size, a number of the Silver Wing's specifications allow for a smooth ride when the bike hits the open road. This scooter comes equipped with a telescopic fork front suspension and a 4.7-inch front travel, which is combined with a single swing arm rear suspension and 4.5-inch rear travel, to help the bike handle all types of road conditions and surfaces. A pair of rear shock absorbers is an additional feature that creates a safe ride, even on bumpy roads.
Despite the smooth ride, the Silver Wing's engine still makes it one of the most powerful touring bikes on the market. It has a four-stroke, 582cc, fuel-injected engine, with a 10.2:1 compression ratio and a 2.84 x 2.82 inch bore and stroke. Thanks to that engine, the bike's horsepower measures in at 50 bph, with 37 lb-ft of torque. Meanwhile, a continuously variable transmission allows riders to navigate in and out of traffic at speeds that are easy to reach and comfortable to maintain.
Beyond the engine specs, the Honda Silver Wing's tires and wheels create an easy riding experience, too. This scooter has a 120/80 R14 front tire and a rear tire measuring in at 150/70 R13, as well as a pair of aluminum wheels. With the front wheel measuring slightly larger than the rear (14 inches in diameter compared to 13 inches), it generates a balanced ride, while a pair of hydraulic disc brakes allow for smooth stops, even under adverse road conditions.
The 2009 Honda Silver Wing also comes with a variety of additional features to enhance the rider's driving experience. The Silver Wing has a standard speedometer, tachometer, trip odometer, and temperature-warning gauge, as well as a 14.2-gallon storage capacity and under seat-storage. Front and rear fenders provide an extra safety component for riders of this scooter.
Finally, with two separate models, the Honda Silver Wing Base and Honda Silver Wing ABS do offer slightly different features to meet the needs of different consumers. The most obvious difference is that the ABS comes with a standard anti-lock braking system, while the Base does not.

Simply Khmer Lowell
This restaurant seems to pop up in every discussion about Cambodian food in Lowell, so I think it's time it has it's own entry here.
I visited for lunch today and was pleasantly surprised by the brightly lit room with a nice interior and nice furniture. From reading other reviews I expected a way smaller place. Another reason for the visit was the their Hot Wings seems to pop up in every wings discussion as well. I tried the Hot Wings from the lunch menu and these was pretty delicious! Crispy, sticky but not very spicy. They where spicy but I expected more.
I tried the Kuy-Tiev Sach-Jrouk Rice noodle, slices of pork meat, bean sprouts, cilantro and scallions in house broth was also pretty good, nice broth, tender pork, beansprouts and a slice of lime on the side. Not a very big bowl but certainly sufficient for lunch and it was a whopping $4.95!
They have got very mixed reviews on the web, especially about the service but today at least everything was very good. They are just off Rte 110 on the edge of Lowell so they are easy to get to, parking can be an issue here.

Hours are 8am to 9pm every day.
Nice write-up, thanks! But I'm not crazy about the name. If I ever get the money, time, and expertise, I might open a Cambodian restaurant called "Khmer, You".
re: MC Slim JB
re: Prav
I believe you, Prav, but will note that uBurger was probably meant to be pronounced "ooh-burger" as in "uber", with their motto, "Above all burgers". But everybody says "you-burger".
re: MC Slim JB
Really crummy day today so time for some more soup. Todays choice for lunch was the Kuy-Tiev Special. Rice noodles, beef, beef meat ball, seafood, bean sprouts, cilantro and scallions in house broth. The beef wasn't the most tender that I ever had but it's not really expected for the price. Fake crab and seafood but there were a couple of shrimps in there as well as piece of squid. Left the chopsticks on the bowl to indicate the size. This is a really nice lunch for $6.25 including a $1 tip. Next time I'll splurge and try the Loc Lac ($7.50), the only Cambodian dish that I'm familiar with.
Decided to try the Loc Lac today.
Well it was very different from what I remember from the Elephant Walk when they opened downstairs in Union Square. Steak tips served on a bed of lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and onions. The beef was well marinated and and nicely charred and very tender and the fresh lime pepper sauce that was served on the side was tasty as well but I felt that the portion was a bit skimpy and I'm not that big of an eater.
I decided to pay them a visit today for lunch since it has been a while. I was dead set on getting the Crispy Chicken Wing and Rice lunch special but found to my dismay that they don't serve the lunch specials anymore and the prices has also increased.
I ordered the Bai/Cha Kroung Rice plate with Pork described as steamed rice served with stir fried meat, stir fried in garlic, onions, lemon grass, red/green bell peppers, holy basil, jalapeno, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and red chillies. There was no traces of either the jalapeno, kaffir lime leaves, galangal or the red chillies so this was another disappointment.
re: Ferrari328
Looks like you got the wrong dish cause that isnt bai cha kroung! I find that at any place where i dont speak the language, it is best for me to order by number or pointing, i never try to pronounce anything cause i always pronounce it wrong. Bai Cha Kroung has finely ground meat.. They have photos of it on their website. http://www.simplykhmerrestaurant.com/...
re: hargau
The only time I've been to Simply Khmer was for a late lunch a few months ago. The place was not very busy. I ordered
two dishes by their numbers, but one was wrong. I kept it because I liked it, but I asked the waitress, who apologized and confirmed that it was not what I'd ordered. From this thread, it sounds like this happens too often.
re: hargau
that definitely looks like cha kroeung to me. it can be made with ground meat or pieces of meat. you wouldn't necessarily see the lemongrass, galanga, kaffir lime leaves, and hot chillies because they're all mashed into a cambodian spice paste called kroeung. the kroeung is then added to flavor the dish
re: Ferrari328
re: qianning
i have tried a few of the soups and have not been too impressed. Which do you like in particular.. One thing i think that turned us off is when you go out back to the restroom, you walk thru a stockroom which has cases and cases, stacked shoulder high of Bouillion granules.. which i assume is used for the soup bases.
I was in the mood for some spicy wings on this quiet Sunday so I headed here for some lunch. I suspected that they would be busy for lunch and the place was packed at noon with people waiting for tables when I left. The reason for the visit is simply called Hot Wings in the appetizer section. Chicken wings, chilies, scallions, jalapeno, sweet and hot sauces are what the menu said. No chilies, scallions or jalapeno was present but the crispy freshly fried SPICY wings were delicious. The sauce was sweet with plenty of heat. Really messy to eat but worth it. Service was sub par today, I was completely ignored and had to flag down a waitress for water refill and also to get the check and there was no shortage of waitresses.

re: hargau
They were fried and delicious and definitely the right dish. Orders of the wings were flying out of the kitchen.
re: Ferrari328
re: justbeingpolite
definitely not the ankhor wings. The ankhor wings have much more stuff on them including diced red/green peppers and other bits.. they also are not as spicy i dont think and without the sticky sauce. Had them once but much prefer the hot wings. Here is a photo of them, i think from his website actually! http://thedailylunch-woburn.blogspot....
SK has become one of my favorites in recent months, and at dinner tonight I found out that they have a new insert menu page of Chef's Favorites/Specials. Lots of new stir-fries and soups/stews, as well as Amok Trey. Sadly, they default to using tilapia for that (since they can get boneless fillets) but said they'd be willing to use catfish if asked.
Also sadly, tonight's dining companions were not into trying the amok (or the alligator or the frog's legs), but we did have a banh chau (I think that's how it was transliterated) and a pork with pumpkin and scallion stir-fry off the new page. Both were good. I really need to get back soon to explore more of the new offerings with more adventurous eaters.
re: T.B.
re: KWagle
I would be interested in a Chowdown at SK, if anyone is willing to organize it. Any other Hounds up for a group meal there?
I put together the May 2112 Chowdown at Gene's in Chelmsford but I had been there before and was familiar with the menu. It's not a lot of work to set up a Chowdown but it's best done by someone who is known to the proprietor and has eaten there often enough to suggest some of the dishes to be included on the menu.
The organizer contacts the restaurant to determine a time, how many people they will accommodate, and what the cost per person (cash to make it simpler) will be. Then post a thread on the GBA board giving the organizer's contact info if it's not already on the person's profile. Include the cut-off date for signing up, and keep a list of participants' phone numbers and e-mail addresses. Anyone willing to step up?
re: T.B.
They just announced that they updated the menu on their website to include the new dishes and some photos http://www.simplykhmerrestaurant.com/...

Tonawanda News — Thank you Tim Schmitt for honoring the NT-Tonawanda game for the institution it is and giving honor to Barbara Tucker as the institution she is. She always does and you also brought back and underlined so many memories we have kept for the last 50, 60 years. You put so much truth about what's happened in our two towns. May it put an end to the negative comments from the jackeroos who can do something else with their life rather than complaining about her column.
It is Thursday, Oct. 25. Only two months til Christmas but what a gorgeous Indian summer day we're having. It's only noon and it's in the 60s already. I hope everybody is enjoying this last shot of summer. I know two who are: Lawnmower man at the City of Tonawanda has been out for hours. The other is parking lot man who's also been out there for hours washing down parking lots with a hose. I hope everyone enjoys this day, especially these two. We probably won't see them again until spring.
I have now personally spent more than 42 hours trying to get a problem solved at First Niagara Bank. It's a regular checking, savings, ATM and Master Card since April. All I get is the blame game. My confidence in First Niagara is now gone and now I'm bank shopping. When a bank can't do these simple things someone should really look into them.

Seen at the Movies:
Director Guillermo Del Toro injects a fair amount of personal style into the comic-book superhero genre in Hellboy. This is recognizably the work of the filmmaker who came up with the dank, art-house movie terrors of Cronos and The Devil's Backbone, as well as the nasty B-level monsters in Mimic and Blade II. Hellboy finds the director on a bit of an elevated plane, budget-wise, and eventually he's defeated by the conventions and mechanics of this type of movie, but he managed to hold my interest more than halfway through. The title character, created by Mike Mignola, is a big red spawn of Satan who's been rehabilitated by a kindly paranormal professor (John Hurt); played with an appealing mix of tough-guy posing and vulnerability by Ron Perlman, Hellboy shaves his horns back in embarrassment, and pines for outwardly normal pyrokinetic Liz Sherman (Selma Blair). Mer-man Abe Sapien (Doug Jones, with voice supplied by David Hyde Pierce) completes the freakish band of supernatural crime fighters, relied on but kept secret by the demon-plagued U.S. government. With a resurrected Rasputin, not to mention the masked assassin Kroenen and indestructible monster Sammael, on the loose, they have their hands full.
Hellboy's Mer-man: Sony Pictures Entertainment
Del Toro's crew, led by DP Guillermo Navarro, production designer Stephen Scott, and costume designer Wendy Partridge is great at conjuring an atmosphere of subterranean, near-medieval gloom. Relics, walls covered in mysterious carvings, rooms full of giant mechanical wheels and pulleys, a massive stone pendulum, lots of black leather: this is probably the least futuristic seeming 21st-century science-fiction fantasy yet. As in Del Toro's other films, the monsters, created by The Tippett Studio, are often like magnified scuttling insects. That said, the drooling, razor-toothed Sammael falls, like so many movie creatures of the last 20 years, into the long shadow of H. R. Giger's Alien monster. I also found Rick Baker's makeup design for Hellboy himself a bit too much on the cartoonish side. The last half-hour is a fairly monotonous series of confrontations between hero and creature, though there's a great effect involving a re-animated decayed corpse who speaks in subtitled Russian.
The Italian film I'm Not Scared is a more subtly spooky drama, though there's one "Boo!" moment that caused shrieks (OK, one was from me) at the screening I attended. Gabriele Salvatores' very fine movie, set in a southern Italian village in the late 1970s, is told through the eyes of Michele, an inquisitive 10-year-old boy (Giuseppe Cristiano) who discovers a strange, blanket-shrouded wraith at the bottom of a hole. Eventually, it emerges that this figure is himself a boy who has been kidnapped for ransom, and that the perpetrators may include Michele's parents. By scrupulously sticking to Michele's circumscribed point of view, Salvatores is able to treat what could seem like familiar movie material—made up of suspense, complicity, dawning conscience—as newly unearthed. DP Italo Petriccione is the director's invaluable co-conspirator, capturing the beauty of the Mediterranean summer while often keeping the camera at Michele's level and remove.
I'm Not Scared: Miramax Films
Bruno Dumont's Twentynine Palms also means to give its audience the heebie-jeebies, and by fixing the camera for long passages on an alternately silent, bickering, and loudly copulating couple (Katia Golubeva and David Wissak), focusing on the weird moonscape of Joshua Tree National Park for equally extended periods, and climaxing his film with an explosion of inchoate violence and rape, followed by an act of even more startling violence, I imagine he succeeds. All in all, however, Twentynine Palms gives Antonioni's Zabriskie Point a run for its money for the title of Most Pretentious Excursion into the American Desert by a European Director. Dumont's belabored point is that humans are rutting, potentially murderous beasts whose aspirations to intellect and reason are doomed to failure by the force of animal instinct. He may have a point: sitting through Twentynine Palms certainly made me want to kill somebody, though the numerous scenes of yowling fornication are anything but arousing. Georges Lechaptois's widescreen cinematography is very handsome, and the American desert once again survives the assault to its reputation.—John Calhoun
Seen on Broadway: Larry Gelbart's fiscal farce Sly Fox , a hit in 1976, has gone lame, deaf, and toothless since the bicentennial. Back then, George C. Scott's bear hug of a performance, as San Francisco swindler extraordinaire Foxwell J. Sly, all but picked up audiences and carried them through its weaker stretches (pretty much the entire second act, a wheezy burlesque of sex and rape jokes that are pure, or rather, impure, Seventies). The original director, Arthur Penn, plus one actor (bug-eyed Bob Dishy, a Tony nominee on the first go-round) and a portion of the design team, have returned for this revival, but a definite hardening of the arteries has occurred. Or maybe the production, which transplants Ben Jonson's Volpone to gold-crazy Frisco in the late 1800s, wasn't all that great to begin with, its flaws disguised by the huffing and puffing of its galvanizing lead. [After a tolerable first act I wondered why no one had ever made a film of the show, or thought to revive it earlier, but as the strained pall thickened over the evening I had my answer.]
As Sly, who feigns fatal illness to manipulate greedy gold-diggers looking to be cut in on his will, Richard Dreyfuss gives an adequate but largely pallid performance that eventually turns monotonous, particularly in his second act impersonation of a loco judge. His partner in larceny, Simon Able (Eric Stoltz), has designs of his own on Sly's ill-gotten gains, but this dutiful actor's greatest crime is that he's humor-impaired. Save for the dully voiced and expressionless Elizabeth Berkley, as the object of Sly's dubious affections, the rest of the cast is made up of muggers, wailing and twitching and gnashing their teeth at Sly's scheming: Dishy, Rene Auberjonois, Bronson Pinchot, Peter Scolari, and 89-year-old Professor Irwin Corey, who gets a laugh simply for showing up to play his minor part (alas, he's stuck repeating that same bit of business over and over again). Penn's sure touch with actors, who flourished in his delightful Fortune's Fool two seasons ago, is absent here.

Design-wise, veteran George Jenkins' turntable sets, which pinwheel around Sly's bedchamber on the Barrymore's stage, get another spin, with the assistance of Broadway newcomer Jesse Poleshuck. [The jail cell that opens Act II is an effective counterpoint from their heightened garishness, but not even the demands of comedy can explain the curious courtroom setting.] Costume designer Albert Wolsky also returns, with colorful bustles and crinolines for the leading ladies to totter around in and comically exaggerated couture for the men, like Sly's florid green velvet robe, and where would a period piece be without a few of Paul Huntley's wigs? [Wolsky's hats and caps are a consistently amusing element.] Phil Monat's lighting gets the job done, and if sound designers T. Richard Fitzgerald and Carl Casella could have found a way to tone down the production's shrillness during its more limply antic scenes they would have been worth their weight in gold to me.— Robert Cashill

Families stroll through the Henry Vilas zoo to help less fortunate families at the AAA Strollerthon.
Parents wheeled their kids over a mile to help raise money for child car and booster seats for Madison families with kids.
AAA emphasizes the importance of young children being properly restrained. Michael Bie says, "We've made a lot of progress in making sure more kids are seated in child passenger safety seats; however, there is a terrific need for folks to be aware that children between the ages of four and eight still need to be in a booster seat."
Organizers say this year's event was a success and are already looking forward to next year. Their plans include a partnership with the Madison Area Urban League, Safe Kids and Hertz. Their goal is to get as many kids in safety seats as possible.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — Kekuta Manneh and Camilo scored 3 minutes apart to give the Vancouver Whitecaps a 2-2 tie with MLS-leading FC Dallas on Saturday.
The 18-year-old Manneh, who subbed in during the 54th minute for Jun Marques Davidson, pulled the Whitecaps within one off a rebound, and Camilo tied it in the 75th minute on a shot that deflected off a defender.
Dallas opened the scoring on an own goal in the ninth minute, and Matt Hedges made it 2-0 in the 47th.
Dallas (6-1-2) remained unbeaten in six games. The Whitecaps (2-3-3) remained unbeaten in three games at home, but have gone six games overall without a win.

TRAVERSE CITY — A Traverse City man who said he accidentally shot his girlfriend in a failed suicide attempt was arrested today on an outstanding Leelanau County warrant for a probation violation.
Authorities continue investigating the Tuesday death of Monica June Anderson, 28, and haven't filed charges in the case. Anderson's boyfriend Robert Caldwell, 33, told police he was trying to kill himself but accidentally shot her in their Three Mile Road and Aero Park Drive apartment.
Caldwell was released from Munson Medical Center and is currently in Grand Traverse County jail awaiting transfer to Leelanau County's facility on a probation violation warrant. Traverse City Police Capt. Brian Heffner said Caldwell was under 24-hour guard at the hospital after surgery for a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the hand.
Grand Traverse County Prosecutor Bob Cooney met with detectives this morning and is reviewing the case for charges.

The Meridian Star
The pen now has an even mightier opponent than the sword: digital keyboarding.
While instruction in penmanship, particularly cursive writing, has not been expelled from Meridian and Lauderdale County classrooms, some local educators are concerned that it is a dying art whose time is nearly up and ready to be taken over by the electronic world.
"Five or six years ago I became real concerned when I'd go into the classrooms and see the lack of penmanship," said Lauderdale County Superintendent Randy Hodges.
"And we're seeing some very negative situations with it, so much so that I've tried to do a few things throughout the years. But we're at a point now where we've got to stop and take a good look at it, because we're getting further and further away from proper and good penmanship," Hodges said.
Under the Common Core State Standards Initiative adopted by most states, including Mississippi, the teaching of cursive handwriting is not mandated but it is taught in the state's schools. However, with the push for more technology in schools, the emphasis is more on keyboarding.
"Children are expected to be able to type and be more proficient with the keyboard by fourth grade," said Teri Edwards, K4 curriculum director and district test coordinator for Lauderdale County Public School District.
Students in city and county schools begin learning handwriting (forming letters) in kindergarten, and by the end of second grade begin to work on cursive writing skills. Because local schools are more self contained, teachers have more time throughout the school day to devote to instruction in handwriting.
Technology aside, many of today's students prefer printing over cursive writing because it is quicker.
"As a classroom teacher, my students preferred to print in some instances," said Robin Miles, assistant superintendent of curriculum and instruction for Meridian Public School District. "But that was a personal preference, not something that we dictated."
And from a technology standpoint, not only is keyboarding quicker, but also easier.
"In terms of the craft of writing, not the actual penmanship, but when you're actually sitting down to compose something, it's so much easier to do that with a word processing tool because you can revise and it will help you pick up those errors," Miles said.
With the move to Common Core, many classroom assessments will be done online and through a computer-based model.
"That may have an impact in the change, as far as cursive writing. But we do still teach penmanship – manuscript and cursive writing," Miles said. Nonetheless, Edwards said it is still important for children to know how to sign their names – which is done in cursive writing.
"Many people will say that cursive writing is a dying art form, but we do still see the importance of kids being able to sign their names and being able to read birthday cards that were written by their grandparents," Edwards said. "And they do have to sign their checks."
More importantly, most of our nation's early documents were written in pen and ink. And if you can't understand cursive writing ...
"You really can't appreciate something written by people such as our first president George Washington," Edwards said. "I do think that it is important for kids to have that knowledge of cursive writing and know how to read it – even if their preference is to write in print."

2013 and earlier-Honda Accord Prices Paid and Buying Experience
If the lowest offer I currently have works out I would be ok with it, as it is nearly 2k off of invoice with no incentives or rebates and they know I would not be financing through them. I do believe they would be high pressure and try to get me to buy warrantees and such. Any suggestions for combating that?? The next two offers however are not quite as good -only about 1,100 to 1,300 off of invoice. Many of the other offers received were between 23,500 to 24,300 (basically at invoice!)
I am in a similar boat as the dealership with the best numbers now only wants to chat over the phone or in person and doesn't want it to be emails (or I'm thinking in writing anymore). They have a more convenient location (but as a negative won't allow me to have car until credit union check clears their bank).
Ask each dealership that you are apart in price if you finance thru them will they meet your number.. worst case you pay off dealer loan when that 1st bill comes. I always tell dealers i will finance thru you if thats what it takes to meet my number.
As far a warranty stuff or anything they try to sell you in that back office.. Say No case closed.
Be patient your to lower numbers most likely will go up.. Close tonight or tomm. Do not be afraid to run your poker game to tomm late afternoon.. dealers always give in first.

Did you try to call the dealers bluecars reccommend yesterday. Might be worth the phone call and the hour plus trip to boston.
Try Weymouth, Herb Chambers they have 3 locations, Honda cars of Boston. and Lynn

A couple of things to know.
Most "Internet Managers" are nothing more than a salesperson. The veteran sales people usually want nothing to do with "Internet Shoppers" since most of the "leads" and calls are a big waste of time.
No smart store will EVER give you a number over the phone to shop all over town. Those that do are apt to "lowball" you or neglect to include something.
Lastly, they are correct. That car you want is an oddball that few stores will order. With all of the Garmins and smart phones out there, NAVI's just don't sell very well so few are ordered.
Being a bit flexible on colors and equipment will get you a better deal. the best deals can ALEAYS be made on in stock cars.
It really doesn't have to be a difficult process but some shoppers (and stores) can certainly make it one.
I do wish you well!
Lil and all forum members.. THis is important
You have to talk directly to the internet manager NO MORE EMAILING.. Thats how you close your deal. At crunch time its personal you and him/ her.. By speaking to him you know if that dealership will meet or come close to your deal.. No more email. Emailing gets you where your at right know.. Time to make dealers comitt. Getting there lowest price..
If a manager tells you Lil 1300 below is my final offer take it or leave it.. You know for 1300 you have a sale. Tell manager you will consider his offer and if the other dealerships dont meet your number to buy today you will call him back. Do let them know you have better offers before hanging up.. This is how you negotiate and play the game. Put in his/ her mind they needs to do better to earn your business, Tell the dealers that are closer to you home you would prefer to buy from them and give them your business and not traveling further.. but you will if they wont deal or compete in price..
You are all smart buyers and have learned alot about buying.. Apply it.. Your at the goal line buying today or tomm. Get in the end zone.. You have the most buying leverage today and tommorow..
sounds like a great football speech........LOL
I'm pulling for you Lil and Diva...... good luck girls keep the faith

@Diva, I understand as we are in the same general market area. I also am looking at a car/color combination that only about one out of every four dealerships seems to have in stock and then they usually have only one car. This definitely does reduce some bargaining power, but if you can find the car in stock, they still will want to get it out of their inventory. If you want a black or white LX CVT, you probably wouldn't have any trouble at all :-).
I am hopeful that I am getting very close to finalizing a deal. I think the dealerships are very busy and they are taking there time getting back to people, but they generally will.
Best of luck with your transaction.

Hi everyone,
So as I mentioned Saturday, I came home with my 2014 Honda Accord EX-L CVT sedan, and I said I would come back and post my price so here it is, car including destination was $25,500 + taxes and fees bringing my OTD price to $27,500 flat. I didn't get Flex cash as the dealers I spoke to had run out already. Those that did have some, were asking between 28k-29k drive out for the same car. I really wanted the accessories that were on the car but refused to pay for them. After some back and forth, the dealer ended up including them for free. Also got window tint too! I don't know how well I did on my deal, but the Houston, TX market for Hondas is a tough one. When I purchased my 2013 Kia Optima SX Turbo over the summer I got them down exactly $6,000 off MSRP of $32,160, including incentive + 0% APR for 60 months.
I want to thank @brian125 @veers and everyone else who provided insight to make this possible. Thank you for doing what you do! Really appreciate it. I wish I lived in states that were giving better deals on Hondas but I guess each market is different.
happy holidays
The only problem with a seasoned salesman who does not work in that internet dept or is not the Mgr... ...... he/she cant close the deal by phone . You would need to go down to the dealership to meet with him.
folks in here are trying to buy 1 to 2 hours from there home so its a waste of time going that route. To be lied to or get the run around.
If you find good dealerships with Internet dept's you could buy or close the deal on the phone. Then go down to pick up the car.. I'm sure you know the drill. you still need to play that pricing game to get that dealers bottom line.. Guys in your business are very good at wearing people down and distracting them from pricing or twisting the truth. Not all but alot in your business do this..
For most folks calling your area's dealers and making the best price out of the lot is the norm.. For others they want a better price. Those folks need to buy thru a dealerships Internet mgr who is usually a good speaker or computer guy.. Regardless they have the authority to close the deal by phone and send a fax buyers order to me or a customer.
I have bought well over 1000 cars in many years of doing this. Most of my trans-actions are by fax.
Dealerships that are not internet friendly will find times passing them by very soon.

I want to buy a 2014 Accord EX. I'm in MI and so far got several quotes: 1. 22,997 + dest. + tax + ttl + dealer fee = 25741. (there are other 2-3 quotes which are close to this number). 2. 25090 + plate = about 25200.
The second dealer didn't tell me the breakdown of its offer but I'm wondering whether the second one is really possible? I'm in Michigan with 6% sales tax.
Please advise.
I've got the car and I am enjoying it, but this was the worst car buying experience I ever had, should have went in there more prepared the price I quoted was not the OTD price plus they pressured me into a EW which turned out to be one those 3rd party deals not honda cares like I had on my previous honda. I have canceled that and the amount will be applied to my principal. They also low balled me on my trade in blue book on that was 15,039 they gave me 14,000. What can I say other than live and learn.

---- — CLINTONVILLE — Alta Jo "AJ" Longware constantly circulates around her classroom at AuSable Valley Central School, her enthusiasm transferred to her students.
Though the diminutive educator is towered over by her young scholars, it's obvious they look up to her.
"When we did our research, what did we see?" she asks, urging them to reflect.
Her connection with students is just one of the attributes that recently earned her the New York State Technology and Engineering Educators Association's designation as Technology Teacher of the Year.
Longware's current classroom project is a vehicle powered by a mousetrap engine. Each vehicle is unique — one creation utilizes CD disks for wheels — designed by students, who get graded on its ability to make it approximately 25 feet down the hallway outside the classroom.
Safety is a primary concern because, for many of the students, this is the first opportunity to utilize tools.
"You need pressure on that corner; otherwise it will snap," Longware tells one student.
Then she goes to the next, "Remember to cut away from your fingers."
She helps another student tie a knot to the mousetrap.
"Kids don't seem to go fishing anymore," she lamented.
Student testimony shows why Longware is being recognized.
"It's awesome," ninth-grader Nate Manning says of Longware's class. "The projects we do are not only fun but I have learned a lot about measurement and bio-mimicry.
"She stresses that we get everything done but makes it fun at the same time. We have to do everything — brainstorm, make sketches and then have all the measurements labeled for the final draft."
Classmate Lucas Perez feels "it's a real good learning environment. She makes it fun for everybody."
Alex Knapp adds, "I really like building stuff. It's all about creativity. She's very helpful. She doesn't do it for you. She makes you do it, and then you can help other people."
Longware was born and raised in the Adirondacks, where she lives with her husband, Brad Caldwell, and two cats, in a timber frame home they designed and helped build.
As a child, she would ride with her father while he made oil deliveries in the area, and as a teen, she helped him clean furnaces and drain the plumbing of summer houses.
She grew up enjoying the outdoors — boating, fishing, skiing hiking and snowmobiling — and developed a never-ending love for the Adirondack Mountains.
Longware attended Clarkson College with expectations of a degree in electrical engineering.
"I was overwhelmed with the intensity and rigor but lack of relevance of the engineering curriculum and left college after five semesters with a bruised ego and distaste for the traditional engineering programs of the late '70s," she said.
Later, Longware enrolled in management engineering technology at Erie Community College.
"On the first day of my summer internship at Chevy, Tonawanda, which was undergoing a change-over to manufacture the V-6 60 engine, my supervisor asked, 'What do you know about car engines?'"
"I replied, 'You turn the key and hope it starts.'"
As the manager's assistant, Longware provided daily updates on the progress of the change-over, including the status of all the machines and quantities of engine parts.
While working alongside the quality-control team, she built one of the first pilot V6-60 engines for the new Chevy Citation.
In 1980, Longware began working at Fisher Price Toys in East Aurora, Illinois. Her projects included the Wheelie Dragster, Woodtop Workbench, Husky Helper truck series and the FP cassette tape player.
While working at Fisher Price, she completed a bachelor's degree in industrial technology at Buffalo State College.
She returned to the Adirondacks as a production manager for the Leader Sports Company, producing swim, ski and other sport goggles. Next was a pre-production-manager position at a local newspaper.
In the late '80s, she returned to Buffalo State to pursue a bachelor's degree in technology education and began teaching at AVCS.
During her 21 years there, Longware has received more than $20,000 in grant funding for projects.
In 2001, she was awarded a $13,000 Christa McAuliffe Felllowship Award for It's All in the Design, a program for students in grades K-6 to design and build plant trellises, mag-lev cars, pneumatic animal habitats and wind-power towers.
Longware hopes to receive grant funding for "Optics and Design: Engineering our Future," which will introduce students to the importance of light in the natural and human-made worlds, prepare them to apply the basic principles of optics in engineering design and encourage them to explore careers related to optics and photonics technology.
Longware thinks that in the movement toward STEM education, "lots of attention is given to the science and math. However, the T (technology) and E (engineering) are overlooked.
"Technology and engineering education teaches students about the systems and processes that build and maintain our human made world.
"STEM, without the T and E, is just more science and math. I believe that it is important that all students experience technology and engineering in high school because it requires them to apply science and math to solve problems, encourages them to consider engineering and other technical careers, and helps to prepare them for college and a career."
Email Alvin Reiner at: firstname.lastname@example.com
AuSable Valley Central School Superintendent Paul Savage has nothing but praise for Alta Jo "AJ" Longware, who has been named New York State Technology Teacher of the Year..
He called her "an outstanding educator who brings great energy, creativity and dedication to the classroom and is most deserving of this prestigious award and honor.
"A.J. is a true student advocate who goes above and beyond for her students and always has the best interests of the students at the core of her mission and program.
"A.J. is a wonderful example of how important high-quality educators are to student success, and we are so very fortunate to have her as a member of the AVCS family.
"A.J. continues to be a great advocate of technology education in the state, and she has done a fantastic job at integrating technology into our school programs so that our students are best prepared to compete in a highly technological world.
"She brings out the best in her students day in and day out."

With our luck, of course, the skies began to clear about a half hour after beginning descent. Turned into a nice day after that. Will have to go back.

|A great night at Capitol Lake, leading to a fun and successful summit. Great weather for a climb.

|Almost Doesn't Count
Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2012
|A late start and fatigue hampered efforts to reach the summit before the afternoon storms rolled in, leaving us 50 feet from success. The boulder field was excrutiating and I took a tumble on the way back to camp that gashed my hip, bruised my knee, and left my entire foot below the ankle purple....that said - I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS PEAK! Without a doubt the most fun I've had on any mountain. The Knife Edge was incredible and I can't wait to go back and try for the summit again.

|50 feet below the summit. Then... lightning.
Date Climbed: Aug 3, 2012
|A very poor night's sleep and sick climbing partner led to a late start and slow going. The ridge scrambling was some of the best in CO! So much fun. A stone's throw from the summit we turned back when dark clouds, lightning and rain threatened the summit. I kicked myself the whole way back to the car as the weather cleared... In conclusion, Capitol Peak is worth another climb. I'll be back! Next time I'll stick to the class 4 ridge route instead of dropping into that long, monotonous boulder field.

Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2012
|A later than planned start (friends got caught behind a fire between Grand Junction and Rifle that jumped the freeway and closed I-70, causing them to not make it to their campsite near Carbondale until after midnight the previous night), not having time to acclimatize beforehand, some monster blisters that gave me bloody heels, and a rainstorm all complicated our Capitol day hike plans. As a result, we only made it to K2. My first bout with altitude sickness threw me off my game, and I decided that tackling the knife edge with a headache and dizziness probably wasn't a good idea. The views were phenomenal all throughout the hike, though. I definitely want to get back and try this one again. See "Pushing My Limits" trip report for details.

|"Cleaver Buttress"
Date Climbed: Jul 17, 2012
|I VASTLY under-estimated the difficulty of this arete/buttress located on Capitol's eastern side...approached from Pierre Lakes Basin. We (ripper333 and I) concluded a rating of 5.8
Some spots were insanely exposed, the ridge direct is not possible unless you're a proficient 5.11-5.12 climber. We even had to rap a small section.
An INTENSE climb. Made the standard "Knife Ridge" a virtual sidewalk.

Gloucester, MA — Wayne D. Corliss, 57, of Gloucester, passed away after an extraordinarily brave battle with cancer on June 16, 2013, at the Kaplan Family Hospice House with his loving wife, Dianne, by his side.
He was born in Gloucester on April 18, 1956. The son of Lawrence and Shirley Corliss and the grandson of Howard and Gladys (Christie) Corliss, founding family members of the very well-known Corliss Brothers Nursery. At a very young age, Howard instilled in Wayne the respect and value of wildlife and outdoor sportsmanship. They had a very strong bond and love for the outdoors as they shared many fishing adventures together.
Wayne was a 1974 graduate of Gloucester High School followed by four years of service in the U.S. Air Force where he earned the rank of Sargent E-4 Aircrew Life Support. He acquired his Plumbing Journeyman/Gasfitters License in 1981. He completed his apprenticeship with Andrews Plumbing and over the years worked for other local plumbers, eventually leading to his own plumbing business. Before his cancer diagnosis he had been working as the plumber at Salem State University.
To say that Wayne liked to fish and hunt is an understatement. He lived it and was very good at it. He enjoyed teaching many people, young and old, how to fish and hunt. His enthusiasm was palpable and the lessons he taught to some are now being passed on to their children for generations to come. His large stature made him stand out in a crowd, but his kind, quick-witted sense of humor and smiling face endeared him to your heart. He was loved by many and will be greatly missed.
He is survived by his wife, Dianne (Foster) Corliss; his children, Jonathan and his wife, Rebecca (Carlson) Corliss, Chrisite Corliss-Fahey and her husband, Dustin Fahey, Jaimie Corliss and her husband, Paul Dugan; stepson and daughter, Benjamin Ewell and Brianna Burns; his grandchildren, Tyler James Fahey, Kylie Ann Fahey, Selphie Lynn Corliss and Drya Margaret Corliss; stepsister and brother, Allison and Erik Hodgekins; his in-laws, Robert and Joan Foster; his brother, Warren Corliss of Front Royale, Va.; and many nieces and nephews; his lifelong friends, Steve Herdman and his wife, Shari, of Rowley, Mass., Bill Kitchenmaster of Beverly, Mass., and Charlie Bisbee of Englewood, Fla.; and many more good friends. He also leaves behind his crazy, but loyal coonhounds, "Memphis" and "Jaxon."
ARRANGEMENTS: A celebration of Wayne's life will be held in October. Details are pending and will be published in this newspaper at a later date.

Larry Dickson's Kickstarter project intends to revive the neglected half of computing that is the most friendly to original science.
This countercultural Wide Computing brings raw data from multiple inexpensive sensors, and even robotics, within reach of anyone with a C compiler. Simple, independent programs handle transmission and postprocessing, including heavy data streams. "Hiccups" can be prevented even if latency limits are very tight. No complex GUIs or interface specifications are needed.
The beauty of this is that it brings real science within reach of volunteers. You can make original contributions without multi-million dollar budgets and corporate bureaucratic approval. This is really important, because it can restore honesty to science!
In addition it is an educational tool that is unequalled in the bureaucratic computing world. The friendly new concept of a graphics slave has roused particular interest. More information is on the web site LAZM.org.

Singer Bobby Brown, left, is seen outside during the funeral of his ex-wife Whitney Houston at New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, N.J., Saturday, Feb. 18, 2012.
Bobby Brown has surrendered to authorities and will begin a 55-day jail sentence for a driving under the influence conviction.
Brown's attorney and a spokesman for the city attorney's office say the R&B singer turned himself in at a Los Angeles courthouse Wednesday.
Brown pleaded no contest to DUI and driving on a suspended license in February. He will also be required to serve four years on informal probation and complete an 18-month alcohol treatment program after he is released.
The conviction is Brown's second for DUI in less than a year. He avoided jail after pleading no contest to a March 2012 drunk driving case.
The 44-year-old New Edition singer is the ex-husband of deceased singer Whitney Houston.

Obama thanks troops at inaugural ball
Monday - 1/21/2013, 9:12pm EST
WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama has thanked the troops during an inaugural ball honoring the military, and says their nation is behind them.
Obama appeared at the Commander in Chief Ball on Monday night and spoke to several troops in Afghanistan by teleconference. The crowd at the ball cheered the troops overseas. Obama told them the biggest cheer he got during his inaugural speech to the crowd on the National Mall was when he spoke about _ quote _ "the extraordinary men and women in uniform" who are keeping the country strong.
He told them they should know that _ quote _ "You will be on our minds tonight and every single night until our mission in Afghanistan is completed." He promised them they would get the equipment and support they need.

I won't worry about whether this is a "brownie" or not because these moist bars are SO delicious! I'm glad to have found this recipe, it's one I've been looking for after tasting them at a potluck a while back. My husband would eat the entire pan! I chopped the apples rather than sliced, they distribute through the batter better in smaller pieces. I don't melt the butter, Ijust cream it with the sugar and beat in the egg. Don't be scared if the batter is stiff and it seems like it is mostly apples, that's how it is supposed to be and it will turn out fine. Also, when you take them out of the oven, sprinkle cinnamon sugar generously over the top...HEAVENLY!
I have made this recipe several times and it is a sure hit! Just had a few suggestions/modifications as follows: add 1 t vanilla, 1/2 t nutmeg, cut the apples (granny smith) into chunks instead of slices. Also top the batter with 3 T. softened butter, 1/3 brown sugar and 1/2 t cinnamon mixed together until crumbly. For me, it seemed to take closer to an hour to bake it Vs the 35 minutes stated in the recipe. Baker Jim, this is a wonderful recipe and thanks for sharing it with us!
This recipe definitely has merit! I found several of the reviews helpful in preparation for trying out the brownies. I creamed the butter with the sugar and eggs, added 1 t. vanilla, cut the apples to 2 (really 1 1/2 because mine were large), diced the apples and added them last to mixture. I also used the topping of butter, br. sugar and cinnamon (spread the butter then sprinkler with sugar/cinnamon mixture) and baked for 45 minutes. They turned out pretty moist, but have a delicious flavor; by no means a flop! I think cutting the apples to 1 cup or so(diced) might be key in getting more of a bar/brownie consistency that can be held in hand. I will make these again, I'm sure.
