It was the first submarine ever to sink an enemy ship, but after only one successful mission the H.L. Hunley vanished with its crew and lay hidden for more than a century. The circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the Confederacy's secret weapon have remained an enduring mystery since the Civil War era, but now NGC has uncovered what may have brought it down.

Reviews for Chocolate Peanut Butter Cupcakes
"I made these for our son's 17th birthday. They were a huge hit! For the batter, I replaced the sugar substitute with brown sugar. For the frosting, I used 2/3 cup of reduced-fat peanut butter (doubled what called for) and added extra skim milk one tablespoon at a time until I liked the consistency. They were a real treat for a reduced-fat or low cholesterol diet and reminded me of Reese's or an Ohio Buckeye candy."
"I loved the cupcake and will make them again and again. They are not only lower in fatand calories but great tasting. These cupcakeshave everything you want in a fantastic dessert."
"This cupcake wasn't terrible, but it didn't have a lot to write home about either. We could barely taste the peanut butter, so it was basically another chocolate cupcake."
"I thought this cupcake was awful! The cake was too dense and alittle on the dry side. The cocoa taste in the frosting over powered the peanut butter taste. My family was not pleased."
"Love, love it. I am not a big fan of peanut butter, but this recipe doesn't have too much to overbear the taste of chocolate. Lots of compliments. Will certainly make these again very soon."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jilldo fabulous This frame is metal with different shapes & colors. I loved it. Bought it for my friend for Christmas. She loved it too. It is a decent size, but not overly huge. Very stylish. get it, you'll love December 30, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kat1957 very appealing I was very satisfied with the frame. The picture spaces are not big, so you need to be aware of that. But I found it to be very appealing. May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by capricorn AWESOME! great size, color, love the finish! would highly recommend May 15, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by CloseKnit Vintage Inspired Multi Frame Love this photo frame grouping! Pros: Minimal holes in the wall and loads of character. Price is very reasonable, plus I had a coupon so it was even less! August 16, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jessie Great gift idea I bought this as a gift for my future sister-in-law as she loves decorating her home with pictures and I thought something unique and fun would be nice. This collage frame is very beautiful and she/I both loved the vintage appeal of it. It's very versatile and could go in nearly any room with any décor. This only thing that I wasn't too keen on is that the frame is much thinner than I expected. I wouldn't call it flimsy, but just thinner than I thought it would be. Overall, a great gift and was shipped very well. January 4, 2014

Since apples do not reproduce true from seed, propagation depends on grafting the desired variety onto a reliable rootstock. Expert hands-on instruction by Tom Burford and the Vintage Virginia Apples staff will introduce you to the fine art of grafting. Each participant will graft two trees from a choice of scionwood from the Vintage Virginia Apples collection to take home with them. A copy of The Fruit Grafter's Handbook is included in the price of the workshop. Extra rootstock will be available for sale after this workshop.
If you have them, feel free to bring a pair of handheld pruners and a grafting knife. If you do not have these tools, there will be several available during the class to practice with or you can purchase your own when you arrive.

Those of you that have tuned into my bit on SBK Live on 104.1 FM every Thursday at 8 p.m. are familiar with the count that is announced at the end of my events roundup.
The count is the number of times I have laughed during the show. I laugh a lot. I don't know why, I guess I'm a happy gal so I'm okay with it. I also have a very distinct laugh.
Well, a month or so ago SBK, Cabin and Angel started getting emails that their listeners had started a drinking game revolved around my many laughs while I'm talking on the show.
Here's how it works:
Every time I laugh, during the 10 or so minutes I'm on the air, you have to drink. Whether it's a sip of your beer or cocktail or glass of wine, that part doesn't matter. I strongly suggest if you partake in this game, you stay at home while doing it and not leave afterward. Trust me, I laugh a lot and no one should be driving anywhere after I get off the air. Including myself, I play along too!
Last night's count? 13!

Packers beat the Bears, win the NFC North
Chicago — All season inside the Packers locker room, players have repeated their No. 1 goal.
Win the NFC North.
On Sunday at Soldier Field, they accomplished exactly that. Behind one of Aaron Rodgers' finest games this season and some second-half resiliency from the defense, Green Bay knocked off the Chicago Bears, 21-13. The Packers have endured injuries, a nightmare in Seattle, a 2-3 start and several tight games in the fourth quarter.
Yet by mid-December, they're right where they want to be.
"It's been a grind," Rodgers said. "This season more than last year, even 2010, this has been a grind. We've dealt with a lot of adversity."
On Sunday, Rodgers completed 23 of 36 passes for 291 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions, and Green Bay's secondary shut the door late to preserve the win. Chicagos' Jay Cutler threw for 135 yards with one touchdown and an interception as the Bears were 0 of 9 on third down.
The Packers took a 21-7 lead on a 13-play, 79-yard drive to start the second half and the defense held firm late. Fumbles by Ryan Grant and Jeremy Ross on a botched trick play could have cost the Packers.
Instead, both gaffes led to just six Bears points. Casey Hayward picked off Cutler once and Green Bay's game plan to take away Brandon Marshall worked again.
"It was an excellent win and excellent team win and that is what is exciting about this group," McCarthy said. "We feel that this 2012 group has a chance to continue to get better. ...I am thrilled to win a division championship. We now know that we are in the tournament, in the playoffs and now we fight for a seed."
The difference-maker: Aaron Rodgers was on the money Sunday. Against a team that has given him problems at times over the years, Rodgers made a flurry of clutch throws. He converted third-and-longs into tight windows. And the Bears were right to worry about Rodgers' improvisational skills. The quarterback kept plays alive with his feet, finding receivers open downfield. On one third and 10, Rodgers spun, stared down Julius Peppers, slid back into the pocket and delivered a 27-yard strike to Randall Cobb.
Turning point: On the opening drive of the second half, the Packers drove downfield and faced a fourth and 6 from Chicago's 26. Rather than kick a field goal, Green Bay went for it and Rodgers hit Cobb for 12 yards. Soon after, Jones caught his third touchdown and the Packers were ahead, 21-7. A lack of confidence in the kicker paid off.
Big number: 12 — Receiving touchdowns James Jones has this season.
What went right: Jones was Rodgers' go-to guy in striking range Sunday. Jones had his first career three-touchdown day. On one he toasted cornerback Kelvin Hayden off the line for a 29-yard score. On his second, he ran a slant in tight quarters for an eight-yard touchdown. And the third score was an on-a-rope, back-shoulder throw from Rodgers. Cobb finished with a team-high 115 yards. Defensively, the Packers again did a solid job on Brandon Marshall. The outspoken receiver did stiff-arm Casey Hayward and score the game's first touchdown. After that, he was quiet. Marshall finished with only 56 yards on six receptions. And in the trenches, B.J. Raji and Ryan Pickett neutralized Chicago's ground game. Both players maintained a good push, holding Matt Forte to 3.5 yards per carry.
What went wrong: This may be the game that forces Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy to find a new kicker. Mason Crosby missed a pair of field goals Sunday. His 43-yard attempt sailed wide and his 42-yarder hit the left post. It appeared Crosby may have turned a corner the last two games at Lambeau Field. Yet in Chicago, the funk continued. His second attempt could have given the Packers a two-touchdown cushion with 10:16 to play. Also, a trick play blew up in the Packers' face. Midway through the fourth quarter, Cobb's throwback to Ross was dropped and the Bears recovered deep in Green Bay territory.

The last thing Angel Rojas said to his mother was "hello," reports the New York Daily News today, March 24, 2014.
Angel Rojas, the 39-year-old father who was shot dead by a gangbanger on the B15 bus in Brooklyn Thursday, was calling his mom on his way home from work that night as he always did.
… Then the phone went dead.
Kahton Anderson, 14, who aimed his .357-Magnum pistol at a rival gang member but missed, instead accidentally shooting Rojas, was charged with second-degree murder.
Left behind are Mr. Rojas' widow, Maria Lopez, and their children, April, 8, and Saury, 12.
An immigrant from the Dominican Republic, Mr. Rojas was working two jobs to support his family.
With Mr. Rojas gone, his widow said she can no longer afford their modest, second-floor Brownsville apartment on the meager pay she earns as a part-time home attendant.
Catholic Charities Executive Director Msgr. Kevin Sullivan attended Mr. Rojas' wake at Ponce Funeral Home in Brooklyn yesterday.
As the Daily News reports, you can help the family by sending a check to Catholic Charities, 1011 First Ave., New York, NY 10022.
Online donations can be made at CatholicCharitiesny.org.
So far, the fund has raised more than $6,600, including two donations by phone for $1,000 each. A total of 52 people have donated so far.

This is latest and greatest in the Snickers bar limited edition line. The wrapper describes it as: "Almonds, caramel and marshmallow-flavored nougat wrapped in dark chocolate". Oh, wow! Is it just me, or does that sound simply amazing? Pinch me please, I surely must have gone to heaven.
Once unwrapped, the bar looks like a normal Snickers except for the darker brown color. It smells of the deep dark chocolate and a bit of a roasted flavor, I think from the almonds. It's also smells very sweet with a milky vanilla essence. I cut the bar it in half to see the cross section. The marshmallow nougat is a pale white like snow, with the layer of almonds and caramel
The first bite is awesome. It's thick, chewy and substantial and oh so tasty! You get a nice nuttiness from the almonds, a good sweetness from the caramel and a nice chocolate hit from the coating. The marshmallow nougat doesn't deliver much in flavor but the texture is so nice. It's a little thicker and stickier than the standard Snickers nougat, but it makes the chew so much more fulfilling. It's really, really good. It's a really stellar bar, and I like it way more than the original.
I'm hoarding these. Mars better make these a regular addition to the Snickers family.

The City is pleased to announce the 4th Annual Community Project Day will take place on Saturday, April 26, 2014, and encourages all of the citizens of Wilmington to participate in beautifying our city.
In 2013, the City was thrilled to register participation from more than 70 volunteer groups.

"This event allows citizens to dedicate time to beautifying and improving the city we all love so much, but Community Project Day is also an opportunity for communities to engage and collaborate in a manner that encourages continued partnerships and strengthened neighborhoods," said Mayor Dennis P.

City of Wilmington Replaces and Replants Stolen Bushes in Union Park Gardens
Posted on 06/05/2013 12:01 pm
As part of Community Project Day 2013, volunteers from Union Park Gardens planted 15 bushes along Bancroft Parkway. The community was thrilled how the new shrubbery instantly beautified the community. Unfortunately, a few weeks ago, two of the new plants were stolen.
In response, neighborhood residents replaced the stolen plants. However, after this additional effort, residents were shocked to learn that two more plants were stolen.
Disappointed by four plants being wrongly taken from the Union Park Gardens community, Mayor Dennis P. Williams and City Council Member Robert A. Williams executed a coordinated effort to replace the stolen plants.
"The residents of Union Park Gardens took the time and energy to beautify their neighborhood, and the community should not suffer because of the unjust actions of an individual or group," said Mayor Williams.
Sophia Hanson, the Director of Planning and Urban Design, reached out to Adele Meehan, President of Union Park Gardens Neighborhood Association, and obtained information about the missing plants, so the City could purchase and assist in the replanting of the plants.
Council Member Williams joined Hanson, Meehan and other community members to replant the bushes along Bancroft Parkway.

You know, actually, we are probably slighting fruit bats. I know PLENTY of people with even LESS emotional awareness.
Although your comment about some romances is true, Jaime, I'm not fans of the BIG MIZ or dunderheads as heroes or heroines. But clearly, there are lots of people who are.

Just adding a follow-up to my previous post...
1. I re-read the last few chapters and have slightly revised my opinion of Millie for the better, because she does take responsibility for her part in the state of their marriage. She may say it all less passionately than I'd like, but at least she has some clarity regarding the situation.
2. Again, for those who hate the flashback technique--you know, the one used in
Not Quite a Husband
--I think it was brilliant here. Let's face it; the story is about a married couple who have an unusual agreement that has kept them from consummating their marriage until, well, mere days from when the reader picks up the story. Millie longs to be intimate with her husband but agonizes over what it will do to her emotionally. Plus we know that Fitz's first love is coming back into the picture, and with her, the opportunity to pick up where they left off. So right away, we're wondering how the consummation will go, and what will be the aftermath.
By continually delaying the moment of consummation--taking us closer and closer, then yanking us back into the past, where we learn more about what has gone on in this marriage--Sherry Thomas manages to ratchet up the anticipation. I was so glad/relieved when we finally got to the appointed day (well, night)!
3. I think the author missed a lovely opportunity to demonstrate the repaired state of their marriage. Maybe the next book takes up right at the time where this one leaves off, and so the overall timeline didn't work, but it would have been nice to see Fitz coming into a ballroom, chatting with various ladies, working his way up to his wife, and then making pleasant, tantalizing chitchat with her, arranging a rendezvous.
I say this because at one point in the story, Millie describes how Fitz chooses a mistress. (He starts by chatting up a lady he is not interested in, then moves from lady to lady, until he finally gets to the one he really wants.) A scene where Fitz employs his standard "mistress M.O."--with Millie being the final lady--would have made a great epilogue, underscoring the change in the H/h's relationship.

Just have to say, I adored this book.
I loved both romantic leads, and I have enjoyed the unveiling of all the characters in this trilogy. I think one must read all three books,
in order
, to fully understand the stories, and the inter-relationships. Yes, each book can stand alone, but as I read this book, I realized that I think Thomas is making a very meaningful attempt to examine, not just romantic relationships -peeling back all their layers, journeys, entanglements, and the role of fate and misunderstandings in these relationships - but other important foundational relationships in our lives.
The rich and realistic sibling relationships between the Fitzhughs is central to the first two books and I suspect will be even more critical in the third; the delicate in-law relationship between the Fitzhugh sisters and Millie that is documented in the first book and revealed in the second book is a special and critical support system that sustains each and strives to protect all, (sometimes against their wishes); the bonds of fraternal friendship between Fitz and Hastings remains steadfast, supportive and loyal through some trying situations. These tangential relationships, developed over the first two books, are integral to my enjoyment of the series, and critical to the understanding of each character. Millie's character is not only developed through her actions on her own behalf in RtH, but in her actions on behalf of her sisters-in-law in BtB. Ditto for Fitz, and for Hastings.
I enjoyed the characters and the story in Beguiling the Beauty. I grew to love them in Ravishing the Heiress. Though Hastings and Helena are not my favorite characters, they are now both "family". I can not wait to read their story and what it will reveal about friendship, siblings, and love.
I also savored the quote mentioned above about love and friendship...love without friendship is like a kite adrift on the winds. Friendship gives love wings.
In essence, I think these books explore the myriad forms of romantic and filial love, and in this book, love born through friendship was the foundation for all.
Bravo, Ms. Thomas!

Loved it but not quite as satisfied as I thought I'd be.
From the onset of reading the previews of Ravishing the Heiress I was excited and couldn't wait to read it. I just knew that this was a Sherry Thomas book I'd adore. Even the author tagged it as a fave.
Unrequited love is a favorite theme of mine. Married couples that are forced due to circustances are a fave of mine. The Civil Contract from Georgette Heyer as a romance was NOT a fave of mine I just wrote not so long ago why I didn't like it.
So here I was going through my read all through the night hardly getting a wink because of the excitement of finally reading Fitz and Millie's story.
Something so exciting and still loved left me also unfulfilled if I'm honest. I still rate this as a wonderful read.
I was completely tortured for Millie. My heart actually hurt for her and I was to a point too uncomfortable. But knowing it's a romance and understanding I'm going to get a HEA I stuck with it waiting with excitement for Fitz to see his treasure.
Sadly what was wrong and my peeve is that it happens much too late and the conclusion seemed to be done so fast. It was like 95% torture for 5% joy. Fitz took way too long.
Spoilers included:
Up to even when Fitz knew how he felt he still put Isabelle's happiness over Millie's and his own for a long time still.
My peeves with him and Isabelle are countless. From the onset Isabelle returns to him because her husband is now dead. I'm sorry but Fitz wife is very much alive. What justifies in her mind pursuing a MARRIED man. Not to mention any worry for her children....All these things went through my mind way before Millie thought it. I think since I read the sneak peek I could see that a mile away in regards to the thoughtless widow and Millie's husband in my view.
I think I needed a chapter of Fitz seeing a gentleman interested in his wife frankly. He was taking her for granted that she'd always be there until he decided different. The freedom she allowed him was too bothersome and he always having her be his ear his friend his confidant. I wondered what he offered besides being miserable most of the time.
She gave him a business a home helped him overcome his drinking was there for his sisters I just felt like this woman gave and gave all from the age of 16 and the love confession the realization was just anticlimatic.
Sherry Thomas has a gift that she'll take her reade and ride you to the edge of not being able to accept what the couple does to each other. But she also manages to still have you root for their happy ending.
I was rooting even through again all the torture but I wasn't as satisfied as I have been with others. It was very close to being too much like Civil Contract but at least I had the satisfaction of knowing that Fitz had a true passionate love for his wife. His line when he realizes she is the love of his life was heart warming. But was I completely sighing as I've done in the past with other reads of Sherry Thomas no not quite.
I think what really made me enjoy this was the type of heroine Millie was. All to many times we are given romances that tell us the heroine is sassy and vocal and this is what makes her strong. I thought Millie was possibly one of the strongest heroines I've ever read despite withholding her feelings the way she did. How many could have lived through all of those feelings for years and still managed to put others first. Probably one of the most truly selfless in my opinion.
Isabelle no I'm not looking forward to her story frankly but Hastings and Helen absolutely. And I hope I see quite a bit of Millie and Fitz because I truly felt in this one there was definitely not enough interaction. This really should have been a longer story I think another 5 chapters was needed.
Either way since I've adored every Sherry Thomas book since she gives me sleepless nights reading to get through what can I say but thank you Ms. Thomas. I look forward to others.[/list]
Romance my favorite reading pastime.

Post subject: Ravishing the Heiress
I'm all on my own, I just finished Ravishing the Heiress, and I've got no one to talk to about it. Time to revive this thread.
I was really looking forward to this book, but when I read some of the comments here and in reviews elsewhere, I got nervous. But yet again I marvel at how different we all are and how we can read the same book and come away with such different opinions.
I didn't find Millie and Fitz's relationship agony to watch. On the contrary, I found it incredibly heartwarming. The idea of friendship as the best foundation for love is one not seen often enough in romance. I really enjoyed watching Fitz slowly come to the realisation that his feelings for his wife and for Isabelle had changed, that he himself was a different person. For me, this wasn't an angsty read because, despite the bitter-sweetness of Millie's seemingly unrequited love, the story was peppered with tiny vignettes; little moments - not big dramatic ones - that showed their developing closeness. I'm so used to big, dramatic moments in romance that I was completely blindsided. Him noticing the unfinished eggs? Knocking down walls together? Joint decision making? Be still my heart!
I loved Millie (a definite case of still waters running deep) and was glad she got everything she wanted in the end. Unlike almost everyone else, I didn't feel the ending was rushed (though I thought Beguiling the Beauty could have done with an extra chapter and I enjoyed the brief glipse of Christian and Venetia here) because Thomas convinced me that their happing ending was inevitable because of how truly well-suited they were and how strong their bond was. Their admitting it out loud to one another was a formality (albeit a majorly important one).
And now I'm looking forward to the next one. I'm one of those who found the Helena/Hastings subplot intriguing.
Short version? Loved this!

I finished
Ravishing The Heiress
last night, and it is a definite A for me - the best romance I have read in a long, long while. This, along with
Not Quite a Husband
, is now my favorite Sherry Thomas novel. Both of them are just ahead of
His At Night
I really admired the way in which Thomas charted the development of the relationship between Fitz and Millie. They became friends and partners long before they are lovers. This was a platonic relationship for a long time, but husband and wife were far more intimately involved with each other than many married couples in more conventional unions.
Unlike some readers I don't think that Fitz was a jerk. For most of their married life he believed that Millie was in love with another man. She deliberately, and for her own understandable reasons, led him to think so. I don't think that he was particularly obtuse because he believed her and did not recognize her real feelings. If he had known about them he would have behaved very differently, and this would have been a different story altogether.
For most of their married life Millie and Fitz are happy together. They form an effective personal and professional partnership, become good friends and are aware of this. Sherry Thomas herself, while describing the novel as "as angsty as anything Ive ever written," sees it as answering the question "can I write a book in which the hero and the heroine are always nice to each other? And the answer is yes, the leads can be absolutely lovely to each other and the story can still rip yourI mean, myguts out." YMMV of course, but her characterization of the relationship seems more accurate to me than some described in this thread.

ZF-5355: Zend Framework documentation syntax highlighting
Zend Framework docs can be easily syntax highlighted: http://mikaelkael.fr/Zend-Framework-CHM-Compilatio…
It would be nice to have them highlighted on official site.
I've been told, that the code beginning with <?php is JS highlighted, but I couldn't find any.
CHM and docbook use different standards for compilation. Also we have PDF which uses a third default.
You can't compare those against each other. The written (source) manual is the smallest source to all three target formats.
Yeah, but the HTML manual it the first thing most of the users will see (and I still use it) and if it is colorful, users will like it more .
You referred to CHM and said PHP is highlighted, which is not true for HTML rendering.
This is done by the additional script which adds a span to the compiled HTML source. Actually there is no way to add a span to docbook itself.
Michael and me are trying to increase the usability of all manuals. We are aware of such things.
I may be able to add Dojo highlighting to the manual, but that would require shipping the Dojo library with all html dists of the docs. Let me mull it over for a while.
Resolved since new 1.10 online documentation

More than friendly and capable, I find that their honesty is their greatest asset. Even when over-hearing advice to a fellow customer they are very matter-of-fact and fully explain everything.
-- Chico (Ashland, OH)
The man at the desk was very helpful and told me everything they looked at on my car. He also said my car would take about an hour but it turned out to only be about 30 minutes which was very satisfying!
-- Carline (Oxford, OH)
They made me feel like they truly cared about the well-being of myself and my vehicle.
-- Christin (Bridgeport, WV)
The customer service rep was very friendly and explained everything to me. He didn't try to sell me extra things. I stopped going to Instant oil change places as all they do is make you feel like you are getting ripped off.
-- Alicia (Syracuse, NY)
The oil change was done in a professional way and they were prompt with the service time it took to perform the work.
-- Jeff (Lancaster, OH)
The gentlemen who serviced my car and the one behind the desk each explained everything to me in person.
-- Wendy (Mansfield, OH)
Tony took the time to explain the work that needed to be done and gave me advice for future work to be done as the car ages. I will definitely have my cars serviced at this location in the future, as I trust the people working on them.
-- Chad (E. Hartford, CT)
They are always prompt, courteous and I feel comfortable in bringing my cars to them for good quality service at a fair price.
-- Richard (Southbridge, MA)
Very friendly, professional and gave me feedback and recommendations. I will continue to go there for great customer service and will refer my peers, family and friends.
-- Sebastian (Monroeville, PA)
Up front about service needed, sensitive to high mileage on the vehicle and my desire to put minimum cost into repairs, willing to work with me on cost.
-- Todd (Kentwood, MI)
I really like the way these AVID tires handle and ride, they are very responsive and smooth! I would definitely purchase them again.
Tires have 7,000 miles on and are running great and are very smooth.
No tires can beat Michelin tires.
I really enjoy these tires, great traction, look, and feel. My concern was around road noise and ride comfort and these tires deliver great results on both.
I love the way these tires ride as well as the good traction I get in less than ideal road conditions.
The tires had good traction in the snow this past winter and have performed well in the rain.
Tires have held up well. Good traction in the rain. Overall good value.
So far so good. Mid size pick up truck-good traction in snow, rain. Driven daily. Low to no noise and comfortable ride.
Had them 6 mo thru a Maine winter. No issues, great tire!
About to purchase another set of these tires. I replaced the original tires that came with the car. Had 4 or 5 flats with originals, none with the Goodyears.
Smooth ride, low road noise and great traction.
So far the tires have displayed good traction in the rain and snow. They are also fairly quiet.
After 1 year, exactly what I expected (or hoped for). Good ride, good traction, good tread wear!

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. - Four Washington student-athletes have earned a Postgraduate Scholarship from the Pac-12 Conference, commissioner Larry Scott announced today.
Christine Babcock (cross country/track), William Chandler (football), Kelcey Dunaway (volleyball) and Seamus Labrum (rowing) all earned a $3,000 award from the conference. The scholarships are granted to as many as four student-athletes per conference member and are meant for those who intend to continue their academic work beyond their bachelor's degrees.
Babcock, from Irvine, Calif., graduated with a 3.93 grade point average, earning a degree in early childhood and family studies. One of the UW's most highly decorated athletes in recent years, Babcock was the Pac-12's cross country Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2011 and earned All-America honors in cross country and both indoor and outdoor track. She was a three-time, first-team all-conference selection in cross country and a five-time first-team academic all-conference selection. Last week, she earned first-team Academic All-America honors.
Chandler, a wide receiver from Sammamish, Wash., was a former walkon who earned a scholarship prior to the 2011 season, when he spent the year as the Huskies' holder and earned second-team Academic All-Pac-12. Chandler graduated with a 3.83 grade point average as an accounting major.
Dunaway, a middle blocker from Bainbridge Island, Wash., earned a BS in biology and a BA in gender, women and sexuality studies while completing all pre-med requirements. She graduated with a 3.23 GPA. Dunaway earned academic all-conference honorable mention four times and helped lead the UW to the NCAA tournament in each of her four seasons.
Labrum, from Cape May, N.J., had a highly-successful coxswain for the UW men's crew program. He coxed the Huskies to IRA gold medals in each of his four years, including the varsity 8 crown as a senior in 2013. A double major (communication and political science) with a 3.69 GPA, Labrum was a first-team Academic All-Pac-12 selection in 2012 and 2013 and has coxed for the U.S. national program at the U-23 level, including a silver-medal performance at the 2012 world championships.
For the complete list of all 44 Pac-12 Conference Postgraduate Scholarship winners, click here.

|Vandals can't handle Zags
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Idaho women's basketball team committed 21 turnovers and Gonzaga shot 54 percent from the field Thursday night as the Bulldogs rolled to a 97-62 win in the McCarthey Center.
The game was Idaho's final non-conference contest of the season, and the Vandals fall to 3-11 on the season. Idaho will open up Western Athletic Conference play at home against Seattle U on Dec. 29. Gonzaga, which is receiving votes in the both the USA Today Coaches and the Associated Press top 25 polls, improves to 10-3.
The Vandals were led by junior Alyssa Charlston, who finished with 21 points and six rebounds. Charlston went 7-of-12 from the field and 3-of-4 from 3-point range. Four Vandal players, including Connie Ballestero, Jessica Graham, Ali Forde and Krissy Karr, chipped in with six points. Janelle Weiss added five for the Vandals.
Gonzaga was on fire from the field, hitting 40-of-74 shots and 9-of-18 3-pointers. The Zags turned Idaho's 21 turnovers into 34 points, and outscored the Vandals 13-0 in fast break points. Gonzaga held a 43-40 advantage on the glass, and outscored Idaho 13-11 in second chance points, despite Idaho's 17-14 edge in offensive rebounds.
After Charlston scored the game's first five points, the Bulldogs turned up the heat. GU went on a 6-0 spurt to pull ahead, and the teams traded one-point leads three more times before Gonzaga went on a 12-0 run to pull ahead 20-9. Idaho scored the next four points to try to keep it close, but the Bulldogs added to their lead throughout the final eight minutes of the half, going into the break with a 48-26 advantage.
The Vandals turned the ball over 14 times in the first half, while Gonzaga scored 20 points off turnovers and shot 55.0 percent in the first half. Idaho shot 32 percent from the field in the first half and 33 percent from 3-point range. The Vandals gathered 10 offensive rebounds in the first half, but converted those into only two points.
The second half began much the way the first half ended. Gonzaga forced Idaho into four turnovers in the first three minutes of the period, and extended its lead to 60-32 by the first media timeout of the second half. Gonzaga's largest lead of the night was its 44-point advantage at 88-44 with 6:45 to play.
The Vandals will have some time off for the holidays before hosting Seattle U on Dec. 29. That game is the first of three straight WAC home games. Idaho also hosts San Jose State on Jan. 3 and Utah State on Jan. 5.

This could be the answer to my problem, the relief of my farmers market flustration.
I just received word that the Downtown Farmers Market, besides its 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. hours on Saturdays, is going to open on Tuesday evenings.
The Downtown Alliance tried this last year, and I suppose met with enough success that they're repeating the repeat.The extra hours can only help the farmers through Ratatouille Season-you know, when everyone has more zucchini, eggplant, tomatoes and basil than they can possibly use.
They're dubbing this the Harvest Market, because it starts at the peak of Utah's harvest-August-and goes through October, from 4 pm. until dusk.
And for the grouchy foodies among us-like me-several pet peeves will disappear. Like, I won't need coffee in the evening, so I won't be irked by thenon-dairy creamer. All the babies should be in bed so those double-wide strollers shouldn't be blocking up the path. And surely it's too much hassle to pack up Fido at the end of a workday and haul him/her downtown.
Thank you, Downtown Alliance. See you tomorrow night.

A Q-and-A with Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne
Miami Dolphins QB Chad Henne spoke with media members over the weekend about his increased leadership role, the task ahead of installing the Dolphins' new offense and his optimism that the NFL lockout might end sometime relatively soon.
You read some of these thoughts in the story that ran yesterday, and listened to some of them in above-posted video. But, for the sake of full disclosure, here are Henne's complete thoughts on the issues – unfiltered.
First, though, it should be important to note that Henne's comments came during his participation in Fins Weekend – the Dolphins annual golf-and-fishing (and partying) charity event benefits the Dolphins Foundation. The first Fins Weekend, about 15 years ago, raised $30,000. The most recent one, which ended Saturday night, raised more than $600,000 for the Dolphins Foundation, which, according to the team, "is devoted to providing and supporting signature education, health, youth athletic programs and volunteer activities that inspire and engage communities throughout Florida."
So that's pretty cool.
By the way, we'll continue our countdown of top-10 Dolphins that began last week. In the meantime, here's Henne – on a variety of topics:
-on taking a leadership role in getting teammates together and keeping workouts going:
"Well, to me I guess it's a lot of fun. You know, coming from Michigan I was kind of that guy, the leader and now it's kind of stepping into that role again and for me, it's just a new experience and a lot of fun for me to be around the guys and just, I guess push them around and have fun with them."
-on how he thinks his teammates have responded to him in that role:
"I think they've done a great job. I mean, everybody's been showing up. Mostly offensive guys and doing a lot of great work. With this lockout, we don't know what's going to go on But everybody's been encouraging and participating and doing a lot of good things in there."
-on whether the lockout could have been a blessing for him, in that regard:
"I don't know. It's tough to say. You know, in some points it is – for me, especially with the leadership role and getting the guys together in the off-season just with the players, not the coaches. But not to be around the coaches, especially with the new offense, it does hinder us a little bit. But we're working hard and getting things done down here in Miami."
-on how's it feel to be spending time with teammates again:
"Oh, it's great. I've seen all the guys pretty much that are here but the good thing is, you know, we get to see the coaches a little bit. Even though you can only say, 'Hey, hello, how you doing?' but it's good to see them and hopefully we can get back into the facility soon."
-on what he anticipates the process being of installing the offense once things get going:
"I mean, I don't think it's going to be tough at all. With the offense participating, coming to workouts every day and me trying to help install it – it should be a smooth transition from that, hopefully. But guys are picking it up well, doing really well with it, and we're just working hard out there."
-on how ready he is to get this lockout over and get to work:
"Absolutely. It's tough. Because we feel like we're in high school – just working out on our own, trying to keep our bodies in shape and doing the best we can. But we definitely want to get back in the facility, get with the coaches and start our workouts."
-on his optimism that the lockout could come to an end soon:
"Absolutely, I mean I definitely think there's going to be progress made. I think staying out of court is probably the best issue right now. Because it seems like every time you go to court we get another appeal. But hopefully these meetings that are happening will help us out and get us back in earlier."
-on what those players-only practices and workouts have been like:
"It's a lot of fun. For us players, we get in the huddle, we do exactly what we do at practice – kind of go through a warm-up and then pretty much do like a pass [skeleton] and seven-on-seven out there. And then we have the lineman incorporated in there. We just run all the plays that we have."
-on what he'd say to the fans:
"To the fans, I mean, us Miami Dolphins – we're staying a true wolf pack right now. We have a lot of guys coming out, working out, doing a lot of good things, installing our offense and just trying to get better. Trying to get back in the workout shape and really get to the playoffs this year."
So there you have it, folks. Thanks to Henne for his time.

The scene I remember is what looks like an older businessman is sitting behind a desk when a tall, statuesque blonde comes in and puts down a ghetto-blaster. She starts dancing/stripping to the music and when she's down to her underwear (stockings etc.) , she produces a gun and shoots/kills the businessman. Anyone remember the movie? I'd say it was an 80s flick.
I think the gun was taped to the back of the ghetto-blaster. Unfortunately, I can't remember any more about the film.
It wasn't a 'spoof' type movie but an 'action' film.
On checking the net it may be one of those late 80s early 90s Andy Sidaris films. He done a whole series of fairly low-budget action movies mainly featuring good-looking women and big guns/explosions (e.g. Hard Hunted).
Having bought a cheap set of Andy Sidaris films and gone through them (quite good fun) it's not an Andy Sidaris film. Only other detail I can think of that it was a tall, statuesque white woman in a (I think) silvery grey two piece formal business looking attire (skirt and jacket). I still think late 80s or 90s and definitely not the Naked Weapon flick suggested here. Pretty sure it was an all/mostly European cast. Possibly something in the Cynthia Rothrock kind of genre?

"Now if I want to see Sarah, I call her scheduler. But before the [2008 presidential] election, we were occasional shooting buddies at the Grouse Ridge shooting grounds. I even had a baby shower for her there. (She'd named the baby Piper, so airplanes was our theme.) We'd always invite her to the Alaska Ladies' Charity Shotgun Classic.
"She's fiercely competitive, a very good shot; she can focus intently on the target but then be all relaxed and chatty in between. She has one of those big grins—"I'm sort of pleased with myself"—and a shrug of the shoulders. Not gloating. One time we had a drawing for a gun, and the winner had to be present. They pulled Sarah's number, but she had left early. I tried her cell, but I couldn't reach her. Then they drew my name. The next time I saw her I thanked her—I'd won a Remington 11-87 semiautomatic. I told her she could use it anytime she wanted. She gave me a funny look, like "Darn it!" It's my hunting gun to this day."

Chip & Seal warnings in Boulder County
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Boulder County will be adding chip seal to 13 miles of County roads over the next three weeks. Chip seal preserves the road surface and greatly extends the life of the pavement allowing us to go longer between pavement overlays. We are continuing to use smaller chip than in the past, similar to last year's project on Nelson Road. This smaller chip seems to be less disruptive to cyclists. However, the chip is pretty messy for the first week or so, so please use caution when cycling on any of the following roads over the next three weeks.
August 8 – 12
Eldora Ski Road – the ski road will have the bigger 3/8-inch chip in order to maintain traction on this mountain road)
75th Street - Jay Road to Baseline Road.
August 15 – 19
Valmont Road - 55th Street to 61st Street.
61st & 63rd Street - Valmont Road to Twin Lakes Drive
Airport Road - Highway 119 to Glenneyre Drive (Longmont City limits)
August 22
95th Street - Lookout Road to Niwot Road
August 29 – Sept 2
All roads will be "fog-coated" which is basically an oil coating on top of the loose chips. All the roads should be back to "normal" within a couple of weeks after the fog coat.

Chip & Seal is serious stuff

Beware of these roads, it's serious stuff, you don't want to accidently find yourself riding on it. Last year the Chip & Seal on Hwy 36 was one of our most commented stories! http://303cycling.com/Chip-Seal-on-US36-boulder-colorado

Thanks for the heads up; these are roads near my office that I frequently ride, so I'll figure out something else.
Anyone griping about chipseal in this area should go ride in New Mexico. Holy crap. I'll never complain about our roads ever again.

what is the big deal?

Can i ask what is the big deal with chip seal? Mainly why do cyclist hate it? Is it just because its not smooth? Is it just the construction detours? Thanks.

Submitted by Craig (not verified) on
It's just that you don't want to ride on those roads for a few days after they are chip sealed because until it has time to dry thoroughly, you will get the stones and sealant flying up and nailing your bike, which can dent and scratch your bike and leave the sealant stuff stuck to your bike (or car for that matter). That was an awesome run on sentence.

Chip Seal - Dent and Scratch?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I dont think the chip seal is going to dent and scratch your bike. It will make you bike a sticky mess if you ride right after being applied. It is also rough to ride on.

Beyond being a rough, unpleasant surface, I find that even well after it has "settled", it still tends to hold bits of glass, thorns, & other debris that would be blown/washed off a smoother road.

OK cool thanks. So mainly its a mess right after and you should wait to ride. I can't relate to the "unpleasant" ride. A little rougher road is par for the course, and really can we complaint about the roads we have out here? I think not. Stop by your LBS and buy some wider tires and a couple spare tubes and get out and ride:)

The chip seal on 36 still seems very bumpy while I dont notice the chip seal on olde stage.
I'd like to know if they are different surfaces. They were both done around the same time.

"I'm happy to say former-mayor and current county comissioner, Will Toor, dropped by the blog to check out our discussion on chip-sealing. Naturally, he said I'm the most gifted writer he's ever encountered…but he also wanted to clarify one important point: Boulder County in fact chip-sealed Nelson and Olde Stage Roads, but the Colorado Department of Transportation was responsible for Highway 36. That said, the resurfacing on Nelson and Olde Stage was a different aggregate and process, which left it much more cycling-friendly. Toor wanted us to know the county is in discussions with CDOT to make sure all future projects on our bike thoroughfares trend towards the better surface."

Quality and design you expect from Bosca, holds everything a bigger wallet does.
It's exactly what I was hoping for. It has enough room to hold more cards than it should and still has an extra pocket for loose cash or change. I carry it in my front pocket as well and it's not too intrusive. I expect this wallet to last me another 10+ years just like my last Bosca wallet.

Football Friday: Bob Surace Talks Resolve, Line Play & The Brown Showdown
In Week 5 of the Football Friday video series, Bob Surace looks back at the comeback win over Lafayette, the veteran play in his defensive line, and he looks ahead to Saturday's nationally televised showdown with Brown (6 pm, Fox College Sports Pacific).
To watch the video, click on the link in the photo above. Please note that, if you receive this release through an email subscription, you must access the video directly from GoPrincetonTigers.com.
Game notes are below.
In a young season already filled with offensive highlights, as well as more points than Princeton scored in three of the last four seasons, nothing would mean more to this Tiger squad than a victory Saturday night at Brown (6 pm, Brown Stadium, Fox College Sports Pacific).
After all, highlights at Brown Stadium haven't come often for Princeton. In fact, Saturday's game will be almost 10 years to the day when Princeton quarterback Matt Verbit, the son of longtime defensive coordinator Steve Verbit, hit Clinton Wu for a 99-yard touchdown pass during a 34-14 victory in Providence.
That would be Princeton's last road win at Brown, marking the Tigers' longest active road losing streak against any Ivy League team.
But this is a far different team than many of the ones who traveled to Providence. Princeton has won its last three games, and it has scored at least 42 points in each of them. It ranks among the national leaders in both scoring and rushing offense, and it ranks in the top three of several team defensive categories in the Ivy League as well.
It is also coming off a 19-0 victory over Brown last season, a game that ended a 162-game scoring streak for the Bears, as well as a five-game win in the series.
But Brown remains one of the toughest obstacles in the Ivy League. The Bears are 3-1, and their lone loss came in a shootout at Harvard. They will be home, under the lights and in front of a national audience, and they will be looking to get right back into the league race.
Both teams will start a season-ending six-game Ivy League streak this weekend in one of the most anticipated match-ups of the first half of the league schedule.

• be Princeton's fourth road win in its last five attempts
• be Princeton's ninth win in 13 games, its best streak since 2006-07
Lights, Camera, Action
Princeton will play its first of two straight games on Fox College Sports this Saturday when it takes on Brown at 6 pm. The game is being aired live on the Fox College Sports Pacific channel, and on tape delay Sunday at 12:30 am on Fox College Sports Atlantic. Check your local listings to see which channel is available on your network package.
Princeton will also be on ESPN3 in its final two home games of the season (Nov. 2 vs. Cornell and No. 16 vs. Yale), and it will be on the Ivy League Digital Network in games at Penn and Dartmouth.
What's The Point
Princeton has scored 173 points this season for an Ivy-League-best average of 43.2 points per game, a total that ranks fourth in the FCS. The Tigers have already scored more points than it did in both the 2009 (129) and 2010 (165) seasons, and they are only one point behind their total for the 2011 season (174).
This is the most points Princeton has scored in its first four games of the season since 1907, when the Tigers topped Stevens Institute, Wesleyan, Bucknell and Villanova by a combined 197-5.
Point It Out
While Princeton has averaged more than 43 points in its first four games this season, it hasn't even averaged 10 points in its last five meetings against Brown. Since a 31-10 home loss to the Bears in 2008, the Tigers are averaging only 9.8 points per game against the Bears.
More Points
Princeton ended a 162-game scoring streak for Brown last season when it recorded a 19-0 home shutout over the Bears. The Tigers held Brown to 17 rushing yards and a 20% conversion rate on third downs in the team's first win over Brown since the 2006 season.
Poll Position
Princeton plays its first of four Ivy League road games this season against teams picked to finish higher than the Tigers in the preseason media poll. Princeton was picked to finish fifth, while Brown (third), Harvard (second), Penn (first) and Dartmouth (fourth) will each host the Tigers over the next six weeks.
Home Sweet Home
Brown has won four straight and six out of its last seven home games over Princeton, with the lone exception coming in a 34-14 Tiger win in 2003. During Brown's four-game home win streak over Princeton, the Tigers have led for only 17:01 of the 240 total minutes.
In the first six league games of the Ivy season, the home team has won five of six.
Road Warriors
Princeton has won five of its last six road games, dating back to last season, including a 50-22 win at Georgetown in its lone road game of the 2013 season. The last time Princeton won five of six road games came between the 2006-07 seasons; the Tigers' last Ivy League title came in 2006.
Ground Attack
Princeton ranks first in the Ivy League and ninth nationally in rushing offense with 253.5 yards per game. It has been a team effort to get there, though, as the Tigers don't have anybody in the Ivy Top 6 in individual rushing; instead, DiAndre Atwater (68.2), Brian Mills (46.0) and Quinn
Epperly (43.0) rank seventh, eighth, and ninth, respectively.
Princeton has spread its carries around this season; no player has rushed more than 13 times in any single game this season.
Just Quinn, Baby
Junior quarterback Quinn Epperly ranks second nationally in points responsible for per game (25.5). He has thrown nine touchdown passes and rushed for eight more during four games this season; no other player in the national Top 30 has eight touchdowns in both rushing and passing categories, and all other non-Ivy teams have played at least six games this season.
Epperly has the chance to become the second Princeton player in program history to both rush and throw for 10 touchdowns in a single season. The only other player to do so was Ron Landeck, who rushed for 10 scores and threw for 13 during the 1965 season.
Roman Empire
Senior wideout Roman Wilson has scored at least one touchdown in eight of Princeton's last nine games, including each game this season. In the last two games, he has caught five touchdown passes; for the season, he has six touchdown receptions, all from Quinn Epperly (he rushed for a touchdown at Georgetown).
Wilson has 75 career receptions for 1,116 yards and 11 touchdowns. He needs four catches to move into the Top 15 all-time at Princeton, and he needs 21 to move into the Top 10. He is also 104 yards away from moving into the Top 10 in career receiving yards. His 11 receiving touchdowns ranks fourth at Princeton; he is two behind Kevin Duffy '97 for third and five behind Kevin Guthrie '84 for second.
Kelley Green
Junior Connor Kelley, who played quarterback as a freshman during Bob Surace's first season and missed nearly the entire 2011 season due to a knee injury, had a career effort in last weekend's win over Lafayette. He caught eight passes for 102 yards and a touchdown, and his diving 29-yard catch on 4th-and-5 late in the third quarter set up a touchdown pass to Des Smith.
Turn Away
Princeton is +3 in turnover margin this season, and it has won the turnover battle in each of its three victories this season. During Bob Surace's time as head coach, the Tigers are 8-8 when they are either even or ahead in turnovers. When they are behind, they are 1-16.
Getting Defensive
Saturday's game will feature the top two ranked defenses in the Ivy League. Brown leads the league in total defense, allowing only 322.5 yards per game, while Princeton ranks second and has allowed 348.2 yards per game. Both teams are also far ahead of the rest of the league in third down defense; Princeton ranks first, allowing a conversion 30.5% of the time, while Brown ranks second with a 31.6% conversion rate. No other team allows less than a 38% conversion rate.
Go Fourth
Over the last three games, Princeton has not allowed a single point in the fourth quarter. During those games, Princeton has allowed only two third-down conversions and has possessed the ball for an average of nine minutes during the fourth quarter.
Reid It And Weep
During his 2012 All-America season, Caraun Reid's best game came against Brown. He recorded six tackles, including four for losses, and added 2.5 sacks. He also tackled Mark Kachmer in the end zone for his first career safety.
Welcome Matt
Sophomore Matt Arends made his first career start at cornerback in last season's win over Brown. He has started every game since, though he moved to safety for the 2013 season.
Arends set a career high with 10 tackles last weekend against Lafayette, and he added a tackle for loss and a pass breakup in the win.
On The Mike
Junior linebacker Mike Zeuli ranks fourth in the Ivy League with 8.8 tackles per game. After playing safety his first two seasons, he moved to strongside linebacker this year to replace Andrew Starks.
Corner The Market
Both of Princeton's starting cornerbacks, Anthony Gaffney and John Hill, recorded interceptions against Lafayette last weekend. For Gaffney, a first-team All-Ivy defensive back last season, it was his first interception since the Brown game last season, while Hill got the first interception of his career. Both will be challenged by Brown senior quarterback Patrick Donnelly, who has only three interceptions this season.
Leicht It Up
Junior Garrit Leicht, who missed the first half of last season because of injury, had seven tackles, a forced fumble and a pass break-up last weekend. He has moved into the Top 15 in the Ivy League with 6.8 tackles per game.
Quarterly Report
Princeton has led at the end of 14 of 16 quarters this season. The lone exceptions were the end of the Lehigh game, when the nationally ranked Mountain Hawks rallied for a 29-28 win, and the first quarter last weekend, when Princeton trailed Lafayette 20-11.
The biggest quarter for the Tigers this season has been the second, when they have outscored their opposition 60-13.
Two Much
Princeton has been successful on a two-point conversion attempt in all four games this season. The players who have scored the conversion have included a linebacker (Jason Ray), a defensive lineman (Matt Landry), a fullback (Joe Bonura) and a tight end (Des Smith). Three conversions came through the air; two were from punter/holder Tyler Roth, while the other was thrown by wideout Connor Kelley.
Just For Kicks
Sophomore placekicker Nolan Bieck made his first two field goals of the season last weekend, including a career-high 40-yard kick that gave Princeton a 21-20 lead going into halftime.
The Crystal Ball
Princeton will continue its New England road trip next weekend when it heads to Harvard for a 1 pm showdown on Fox College Sports Atlantic. Harvard has won three straight home games over Princeton, through the Tigers rallied from 24 points down with 12 minutes remaining to shock the Crimson 39-34 on Powers Field last season.
