ZF-3381: Incorrect month definition using 'setDate' method
I'm using setDate method to parse date to get unix timestamp as follows: {color:green}$date->setDate('6/1/2008', 'M/d/Y');{color} It works fine on some linux platforms but has a bug on others. If I want to parse a date with month set to one which has number of days less than 31 it adds 1 to month number. Say, if I parse '2/10/2008', '4/15/2008', '6/22/2008' it always returns timestamp with month set to 3, 5, 7 accordingly. I've got a solution for this bug. I've made a little modification to 'Zend_Date' class, '_date' method. There are three lines which set the date in three steps as follows: {color:green}$date->set($parsed['year'], Zend_Date::YEAR); $date->set($parsed['month'], Zend_Date::MONTH); $date->set($parsed['day'], Zend_Date::DAY);{color} The order of the last two lines should be changed to fix the bug as follows: {color:green}$date->set($parsed['year'], Zend_Date::YEAR);{color} {color:red}$date->set($parsed['day'], Zend_Date::DAY); $date->set($parsed['month'], Zend_Date::MONTH);{color} The first line sets date to the defined year, month 12 and day 31. The second sets date to the defined day and the last sets date to the defined month. We cannot set month before day because when we set year it sets default day number to 31. Then if we set month which has 30 days (April, June...) it switches month to the next one (May, July...) and day number to 1.
Please fix this in official release.
Where is your problem ? Can you give us a example with code which shows the problem ? What you get, what you expected, the release, php version, os and so on... Why should setting the 1.June respond in such a problem as you described ?
But: When you set 31.February you will ALWAYS get the 2 or 3rd May. This is no failure but expected behaviour and documented within the manual. I believe there is an option where you can switch off the overlapping for months.
When you set a impossible date, Zend_Date will always automatically correct this. As your change introduces problems with existing code it will not be added to trunk.
What would you expect to get returned when you set a 32.Feburary ??
PHP Version 5.2.4, Zend Framework 1.0.2 and 1.5.2 (both), Linux 18.104.22.168-g-r17 #1 SMP Exact test case is {color:red}$date = new Zend_Date(); $date->setDate('6/1/2008', 'M/d/Y'); print $date->toString('M/d/Y'); // retruns "7/1/2008" and same problem with other months which have less than 31 days{color}
I am not able to reproduce your behaviour with trunk. When you are willing to test I would recommend that you
- install the trunk release (9600 or higher)
- run this example:
$date = new Zend_Date();
print "\n".$date->getIso();
$date->setDate('6/1/2008', 'M/d/Y');
print "\n".$date->getIso();
- when it fails please return the output
- additionally run and return the output of the following:
print_r (Zend_Locale_Format::getDate('6/1/2008', array('date_format' => 'M/d/Y', 'format_type' => 'iso'));
Updated to revision 9605. The problem is still there. Here is my code:
pre class="literal">
<? require_once('./Zend/Date.php'); $date = new Zend_Date(); print "\n".$date->getIso(); $date->setDate('6/1/2008', 'M/d/Y'); print "\n".$date->getIso(); print "\n\n"; print_r(Zend_Locale_Format::getDate('6/1/2008', array('date_format' => 'M/d/Y', 'format_type' => 'iso'))); ?>
And here is return:
2008-06-04T08:27:02-05:00 2008-07-01T08:27:02-05:00 Array ( [date_format] => M/d/Y [locale] => [month] => 6 [day] => 1 [year] => 2008 )
Ok... now it gets durty :-)
Date.php: line 2924: add "print "\n".$date->getIso();" below. Also below 2925, 2926, 2927 and 2928
Also output me your locale $locale from line 2924.
Output is now
2008-06-04T09:02:33-05:00 1969-12-31T18:00:00-06:00 $locale = en_US 2008-12-31T18:00:00-06:00 2008-07-01T18:00:00-05:00 2008-07-01T18:00:00-05:00 Tuesday, July 1, 2008 2008-07-01T09:02:33-05:00 Array ( [date_format] => M/d/Y [locale] => [month] => 6 [day] => 1 [year] => 2008 )
Ok... problem found.
Please change line 2924 so it looks like this:
$date = new self(0, self::TIMESTAMP, $locale);
This should fix your problem. Please test it and give me the result.
Yes, this fixes the bug:
2008-06-05T04:18:35-05:00 1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 $locale = en_US 2008-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 2008-06-01T00:00:00+00:00 2008-06-01T00:00:00+00:00 Sunday, June 1, 2008 2008-06-01T04:18:35-05:00 Array ( [date_format] => M/d/Y [locale] => [month] => 6 [day] => 1 [year] => 2008 )
The fix has been added with r9612
Updating for the 1.6.0 release.

Hey there.
I have build a simple robot-arm. When i stop motion (with a 90 Degree angle between upper and lower part), the arm does not hold its position. here is what i tested on NXJ ( not remote):
boolean isRunning = true;
while (isRunning){
if (InputManager.isJustReleased(InputManager.ESCAPE)){
isRunning = false;
Then i tried lock(100) instead of stop() and both together without any result. In further tries i initially set Motor.A.setPower(100) and Motor.A.setBrakePower(100), without any changes. I tested friction by rotating manually robot-arm but it seemed never to be harder or less hard ( even if NXJ is powered off.) I've read through forum, but i did not find a solution.
Has anyone an idea what is wrong? Did i miss something?

ZF-10542: Zend_Soap_Client unsets options with a value of 0
Zend_Soap_Client strips all options with a value of 0 from the options passed to other routines. Specifically: in file Soap/Client.php in the function getOptions() beginning at line 329: currently reads: if ($value == null) { unset($options[$key]); }
testing a value of zero against null using == returns TRUE, so this unsets all options with a valid value of zero. The specific option that brought this bug to my attention was cache_wsdl, which when set to WSDL_CACHE_NONE (0) failed to work.
Fixed in r23266.
Merged to branch release 1.11 r23453.

Comments about National Geographic Eaton II Tripod Globe:
Globe was great... but had obviously been purchased by someone else and returned... tripod was broken and globe mounting already assembled. Hubby glued together and added reinforcing screws (vs. sending back and waiting for another). Kind of a disappointment for an otherwise nice product.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
From National Geographic:Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We sincerely regret that your order did not live up to your expectations. Our customer service team has devised a solution for you and will be in touch shortly.

Lovely winter gift catalogue

The tripod globe is sitting in our sunroom. It's stylish, looks fantastic, and we use it every day. Unfortunately, our windows are not low E, so we cover it with an ornate cloth, to prevent fading in the sun.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

"I enjoyed all your movies. What are you doing now?" a young boy writes to the screen idol. Reading his letter, Dolores Hart can only laugh. Because in one of the most curious career detours ever, in 1963 this vibrant blond actress abandoned Hollywood for a Connecticut monastery.
Cloistered there ever since, Mother Prioress Dolores, now 73, speaks frankly and amusingly about her stunning choice in the Oscar-nominated documentary short, God is the Bigger Elvis (set to air on HBO beginning April 5).
The title succinctly explains her decision: Hart, after all, made her film debut opposite Presley in Loving You (1957). She would go on to make nine more movies, reteaming with Elvis in King Creole (1958) and resisting the sexual temptations of a Ft. Lauderdale spring break in Where the Boys Are (1960). Prophetically, she also played Sister Clare to Bradford Dillman's Brother Francis in St. Francis of Assisi (1961).
At the Abbey of Regina Laudis, a working farm and home to 36 nuns, Mother Dolores observes three periods of silence a day and counsels those who seek her help. "People come to speak to us about every possible form of suffering that hits the human heart," she says. "My role is to help a person discover you can always find hope and if you can find hope you might find faith."
The documentary makes it clear that Hart's decision was not as random as it once appeared: She started visiting the Abbey while starring on Broadway in The Pleasure of His Company when she was advised by a friend that she could get some much-needed rest in the company of "easy-going nuns." Indeed, they were so easy-going that when she worried about being sexually attracted to her costars, one piped up: "Well, why not? You're a girl."
After five years of dating, Hart was engaged to Don Robinson, and Edith Head had already designed her wedding dress when she decided to become a bride of Christ instead. Some of the more poignant moments in the film are the interviews with Robinson, who has visited her at the monastery for 47 years. (The two walk around the grounds holding hands and chastely kiss goodbye.)
There are other signs that Mother Dolores hasn't completely abandoned her former life: A copy of The Hollywood Reporter rests on her desk and the film informs us that she is the only nun to be an Oscar-voting Academy member.
Let's hope she votes for her own documentary to win.

Rated 4.8 out of 5 by 4 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by cyn24 Amazing way to display photos I have 2 of these and the smaller one too. The fit in with any decor and add a wonderful conversation piece. The colors are amazing and the antiqued look makes them very eye catching. Best photo collage I have ever purchased. October 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CastleToz Looks Great! I recently found some old family photos from the 1920's through the 1950's, all black and white and of my realitives hamming it up. I put them in the frames and it looks amazing! There is something very fun and light-hearted about the whole thing and I couldn't have found a more perfect collage frame for the group of photos I used. April 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by TBiv GORGEOUS in person These frames are breath taking! The colors on line look very dreary, but in person they really compliment each other beautifully. The colors are more grey, black, a worn teal, and gold-ish/beige. The versatility for these frames are endless and you could match them with most any style or decor from french barn home, beach, modern, rustic, ECT. Couldn't've asked for a more beautiful piece to display my cherished memories in, thanks World Market! December 18, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5 by lauren Beautiful!!!! I love this frame! I have it on my bathroom wall and its the perfect touch if you like the vintage or antique look in your home. September 10, 2011

Oh! You meen a Giesha? But seriously it is a question the man should have an answer to or he will wander forever :).
a woman will give you compassion. When your day has been "the day from hell", she has the gentle hands to undress you, run you a warm shower, and while you're in the shower, whe pours you a drink, as you get out of the shower she's waiting there with a towel to towel you off, while you have your drink. She has your robe ready for you, and knows that days like that you need extra tender loving care. She will let you finish your drink, and then she would lay you down on the bed, have you roll over on your stomach and start to give you a complete body massage. The massage may last for hours depending on how tense you are. You have to start at the head and work down to the toes, and then have you roll over and start all over again starting at the head, and working all the way down to the toes, massage ever inch of your body so that all the tenson can be released. She can fix you a nice light dinner, if your in the mood. Woman are truly compassion and passionate creatures, but they are also care givers. There really isn't much a woman can't do.
Do we not complete the Man and enhance his Soul and Well-Being? X

In the Community
Israel National Security Project Debuts
Professor Guy Ziv recently created the Israel National Security Project (INSP), which highlights Israel's urgent need for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The newly formed project launched its website, Twitter feed and Facebook group to coincide with President Obama's first presidential visit to Israel in March, which could see a renewal of Mideast peace diplomacy.
"His visit presents an important opportunity for the governments of the United States, Israel and the Palestinian Authority to reaffirm their commitment to the two-state solution and take bold steps to revive the peace process," said Ziv.
The nucleus of INSP is its website, which provides a repository of arguments made by security experts in support of the two-state solution. Beyond providing scholars, policy analysts, government officials and the general public with a useful resource, INSP aims to persuade the pro-Israel community in the United States that true support for Israel means supporting the two-state solution to the conflict - a Jewish state living side-by-side with a Palestinian state in peace and security.
"What many supporters of Israel don't realize is that the vast majority of Israeli ex-security officials view the status quo as detrimental and the two-state solution as a strategic priority for Israel," Ziv said.
Ben Bestor, SIS/MA '14, and Daniel Brainich, SIS/MA '14, the program's research assistants, agree with Ziv's analysis.
"When national security hardliners and the pro-peace constituency realize that their goals aren't incompatible, peace in the Middle East will be much less elusive," said Brainich. "As someone who has lived in the region and studied the conflict for years, I was excited to help with this important work."
Bestor said, "What makes this project so unique, and ultimately so persuasive, is that it draws from the statements of former high-ranking members of the Israeli security establishment - the military and the intelligence community - to argue the necessity of a two-state solution from a strictly strategic perspective. These men and women have committed decades of their lives to ensuring the security of Israel, and have an intimate knowledge of the ins and outs of Israeli security and how to best defend Israel."
Ziv's background includes policy work at the U.S. Department of State, on Capitol Hill and for Israel Policy Forum (IPF), a non-profit organization that advocates for a strong Jewish and democratic state at peace with its neighbors.

Budget Your Career Change
Any big career change is going to involve moments of vertigo, which is why it's nice to start out with a trust fund, a second home to leverage, or a spouse who earns enough to keep the family's lifestyle intact. Nice, but not essential. You can still make big leaps without a financial safety net; it just takes more planning, creativity, and tolerance for sleepless nights.
Of course, the definition of safety net is subjective. A woman with a sizable 401(k) and a lot of home equity may refuse to invest those funds in anything other than a sure career bet. Another woman may be willing to max out her credit cards. Economic climate matters too. Rising home prices and stock markets make change easier; recession requires improvisation.
The women you'll meet here are all successful leapers. Their best advice to their midlife peers is to cash in on the kind of wealth we all have in abundance: patience; deep, broad networks; a willingness to ask for help; and stubborn, resilient enthusiasm.
Leveraged Leaper
Robin Moorad, 52, Berkeley, California
Job then: Vice president of an established commercial-furniture and interior design company. Salary: $150,000.
Job now: Founder and sole proprietor, Imago Associates, a "green" office furniture venture. Her salary this year: $150,000-plus.
Scariest moment: Trading in her beloved BMW for a leased Honda CR-V. "In my mind, that BMW signified success," she says. Giving it up felt like a step back.
In 2002, Robin Moorad was an experienced executive with a solid career path. But her life had changed, and she came to the reluctant conclusion that jobs with most companies couldn't give her what she wanted: more freedom and the flexibility to spend time with her daughter, then 8. She decided she would have to become her own boss.
Moorad put off her leap until November 2003, when the local economy was rebounding from a downturn. She gave her boss 90 days' notice and negotiated the least restrictive non-compete agreement she could. She had cash reserves of just $30,000, and she didn't want to tap into the retirement funds she and her husband had set aside. But she figured that her contact-filled BlackBerry would help get her launched. "I'm a big joiner and show-upper," Moorad says.
In the next few years, she would often turn to a loosely knit group of colleagues she'd gotten to know over the previous decade. One friend with a similar but non-competing business even showed her his financials. "I needed to understand really clearly what the money could look like," she says. His openness is typical, she adds, of how small businesses help one another.
Moorad named her venture Imago Associates (imagoassociates.com), using the Latin root of the word imagine. A green spin on her former line of work, the company refurbishes and resells office furniture, keeping it out of landfills. In spring 2004, Moorad opened for business, working out of her home to save on overhead. Her first $10,000 client signed on within three months.
But life was proving complicated: Moorad had hoped that redesigning her career would help redefine her marriage. Instead, it clarified the relationship's flaws. Soon she was going through a divorce, putting up money to buy her husband's share of their house and making other payments to him as part of a settlement. Her 18 months of COBRA-guaranteed health insurance ran out, and she bought a high-deductible policy.
Moorad began to borrow, refinancing her house more than once and putting every expense on plastic. Her credit rating fell from 780 to 680, and at one point, needing cash, she asked her mother to buy her engagement ring. She gained weight and lost sleep. One big help, she says, was tough love from her "take no prisoners" therapist, who helped keep her focused.

Backyard Football Bash (16 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
Football season is under way! What a way to celebrate the fall season, football and a future little quarterback than with a backyard football bash. This party was so simple, super fun and can easily be used for tailgating, game day celebrations or the Superbowl.
Rebekah of A Blissful Nest designed a collection of printables focusing on footballs, stripes and the traditional coloes of brown, grass green and yellow. That we we kept it simple and focused away from any team colors while still making the table "pop".
We first placed down a piece of artificial grass we picked up at our local hardware store. We had it cut to the size of our table and it really is an inexpensive way to add an authenticity to the whole football theme. I think the piece literally cost about $5! The focal point of our table was a goal post my husband actually made out of PVC pipes. Again, from the hardware store and super, super cheap!
For the sweet treats, we served popcorn in paper cones (part of the collection designed by A Blissful Nest), simple vanilla cupcakes from the local grocery store, pretzels (we served in snack cups from Target for $2) and delish football theme cookies and cake pops from Fun Favors. I Have A Favor sent personalized football themed water bottles for all our guests to use during the party and served as their party favor later.
The kids truly had a blast playing catch in the backyard, even my daughter who was the little cheerleader! What a way to welcome fall and football season. Go team go!

Smart move by Ireland. So far.
Why Jordan? Because in games 2-5 this season, we face Luck, Ryan, Brees and Flacco. And in a couple weeks after that Brady. So we absolutely have to put pressure on those QBs, which we lacked doing last year.
Opposing QBs were pitching tents on us. Camping out and picking us apart. That had to stop and quickly.
He won't wear #99, but he will remind us of Jason Taylor. He is that quick! He is 6' 6", so he has room to put about 20 lbs on and keep his speed. Plus it allows Odrick to move back inside.
But what about OT? If KC wanted our #42 for Albert, guess what? We don't have that anymore. So when #54 comes around, if a tackle is sitting there, we offer KC a 3rd round pick or we take the tackle.
I like Ireland's move. So far.

It truly does David, as it shortens the field of coverage. Less time to camp out. Cameron Wake is ecstatic.
We virtually got a steal at giving up only #42.
I was expecting more picks going to Oakland.
Either trade for Albert or pick a tackle, such as Terron Armstead or a CB, which there are plenty around.
what about the third round pick? I was really hoping we would get ryan swope. the guy is a beast. it seems also Ireland is getting people he likes rather then just going simply for the biggest need.
We have 2 third round picks. Swipe could be one.
DL is a need so Ireland wasn't waisting a pick.
true I think it was a really good move. this years first round was a bit strange. I think Ireland nailed it by getting a DE. it was a need but so was OL and CB. now I have no clue though which way he is going to go tomorrow but im guessing he will make the same type of bold move and find someone he likes a lot.

Women's Golf Blawg: Andrea VanderLende Excited To Come To UWBy Athletic Communications on July 13, 2009 11:47 AM | No Comments
Mary Lou Mulflur announced the hiring of former Florida Gator player Andrea VanderLende as an assistant coach last week. She officially starts at Washington on Aug. 1 and will be a guest blawgger for the UW throughout the season. She decided to get a jump start and submitted an entry on Monday! Life is truly an adventure and can be extremely exciting. That is how I feel about making one of the biggest moves in my life. I am trading in my blue and orange for purple and gold and coming to the Pac-10 which is the best conference in the country right now. Yes, you can say I am excited.
Upon graduating from the University of Florida, I knew I wanted to stay in golf but was not sure where the industry would allow me to excel and make a difference. It was while working at Carmel Country Club in Charlotte, North Carolina with the Junior Program that I started to see myself coaching. With that in mind, I have spent the last few years trying to acquire the skills and insight it takes to build a strong foundation for coaching. I know I am ready and what could be better than being Coach Mulflur's assistant coach. Who wouldn't want to learn from the best!
The University of Washington's golf program is outstanding and offers their student athletes every opportunity to excel on and off the course. I was thrilled to see the new indoor practice facility and what golfer wouldn't want to call Washington National their home course.
The last time I played Washington National was at the NCAA Championship my freshman year. The course and Seattle left a lasting impression and who would have known I would be calling it home eight years later.
In a few short weeks, I will have the move behind me and will be able start preparing for a great season ahead. I am looking forward to meeting the UW staff and especially our student athletes. With the help of understanding co-workers and my Garmin, the University of Washington will feel like home in no time.
Lincecum To Start All-Star GameBy Athletic Communications on July 13, 2009 8:50 AM | No CommentsNot surprisingly, former Husky Tim Lincecum has been named the National League' starting pitcher for the All-Star game tomorrow night in St. Louis.
Lincecum, who last pitched for the Dawgs in 2006, when he won the Golden Spikes Award, will square off against American League starter Roy Halladay of the Toronto Blue Jays.
The game air live tomorrow night (Tue., July 14) at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on Fox.
Here's the Associated Press story on Lincecum being named the starter on gohuskies.com. And here's a brief story from the San Francisco Chronicle.
Also, on the subject of Lincecum, here's a link to a terrific story in the Santa Rosa Press-Democrat, published on Saturday.
Prugh Ends Up Tied For 17th At Nationwide EventBy Athletic Communications on July 12, 2009 4:26 PM | No Comments
Husky grad Alex Prugh finished tied with two others at 9-under 276 on the Nationwide Tour event being held in Clarkston, Ontario, Can., this weekend. Prugh struggled on Sunday and shot a 1-over 72 in the final round of the (quite a mouthful!) Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic Presented by Samsumg.
Prugh entered the final round tied for 11th, but only managed two birdies on Sunday after hitting 13 of them during the first three rounds. Husky senior Chris Killmer manned the bag for Prugh during the weekend.
Prugh entered the tournament No. 3 on the money list this season and Sunday's final result should not alter his status greatly.
Friberg Ties For 34th At U.S. OpenBy Athletic Communications on July 12, 2009 4:14 PM | No Comments
Former Husky Louise Friberg finished the LPGA's U.S. Open being held at the Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa., tied for 34th. Friberg shot a 4-over 75 on Sunday and ended the tournament tied with five others at 11-over 295.
Friberg had missed the cut in the previous 11 events she had entered. The 34th place finish was her best of the season and earned Friberg $20,702.
Congrats to Friberg!!
Husky Pro Tour Golf Notes From SaturdayBy Athletic Communications on July 11, 2009 6:46 PM | No Comments | No TrackBacksThis weekend, a couple of Husky pros are playing well on the LPGA and Nationwide Tours.
Louise Friberg is representing the Husky women at the LPGA's 2009 U.S. Open in Bethlehem, Pa., and is tied for 23rd at 7-over (75-72-73=220) after three rounds. Friberg, who lettered for Washington from 2000-2003, was 2-over on Saturday and is nine strokes behind leader Cristie Kerr (2-under overall) .
On the Nationwide Tour, Alex Prugh has been making a steady climb all weekend long. On Saturday, he jumped into a tie for 11th place after he began the third round tied for 29th. Prugh, who lettered at Washington from 2004-07, shot a 4-under 67 for a second-consecutive day to move to 10-under overall at the Ford Wayne Gretzky Classic Presented by Samsung. Roger Tambellini leads the tournament at 18-under.
Friberg 28th at U.S. Open; Kamimura Named Head Coach at WSUBy Athletic Communications on July 10, 2009 4:38 PM | No Comments
Former Husky standout Louise Friberg is tied for 28th after two rounds of the LPGA U.S. Open at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa. Friberg is 5-over for the tournament and shot a 1-over 72 on Friday. Cristie Kerr tops the leaderboard at 3-under overall.
After a stellar rookie season in 2008, Friberg has struggled to find her swing in 2009. She has missed the cut in her last 11 LPGA events this season, but hopefully this week's results from Pennsylvania will get her back on track.
In other news, former Husky Kelli Kamimura will be named head coach at Washington State University. That makes three former Husky players [Mary Lou Mulflur, Kamimura and Nancy (Kessler) McDonald at Cal] leading Pac-10 programs!!
Wallace Falls in Back-and-Forth PNGA Semifinal MatchBy Athletic Communications on July 10, 2009 4:13 PM | No Comments
Darren Wallace lost a seesaw battle to Josh Anderson in match play in the semifinal round of the PNGA Amateur Championships on Friday. Wallace trailed Anderson by two strokes after 10 holes, but mounted a furious comeback. Anderson bogeyed No. 11 to allow Wallace to gain a stroke, but Wallace returned the favor by scoring bogey on the Par 3 No. 12.
Wallace closed the gap back to 1 down on No. 13 when he scored par and Anderson bogeyed. He evened the match on No. 16 with a birdie, but immediately fell back down a hole on 17 when he scored bogey and Anderson scored a par. Needing a big finish on 18, Wallace birdied the Par 4 hole and Anderson scored a par to force extra holes.
On the 19th hole, the Par 4 No. 1, Wallace bogeyed and Anderson scored a par to win the match and advance to the finals. Anderson will face No. 1 seed Tyler Mathews in Saturday's final.

Heading toward the determination of the winner of the 2013-14 Learfield Sports Directors' Cup, gostanford.com will provide a progression of each of Stanford's 19 consecutive victories. Here is the second, in 1996-97:
Directors' Cup No. 3 (1996-97) | 1996-97 Season In Photos
WITH APOLOGIES TO LeBron James, in 1996-97 Stanford won "not one, not two, not three, not four, not five," but six NCAA team championships in perhaps its greatest year of an ongoing golden era of Cardinal athletics.
A third consecutive Directors' Cup was long a done deal as Stanford captured its first titles in men's and women's cross country, its 16th in men's tennis, 10th in women's tennis, fourth in women's volleyball, and first in men's volleyball. Only three times in history had a school won as many as five titles in one academic year, and two of those were by Stanford.
Twenty Stanford teams finished among the nation's top 10, and 15 were in the top five. Also, 16 Cardinal teams won conference titles.
In Stanford men's volleyball lore, match point of the Cardinal's first national championship is known simply as "The Block." To finish off a 15-7, 15-10, 9-15, 6-15, 15-13 victory over rival UCLA in the NCAA final, Mike Hoefer brought the wall to a Bruins' attempt to sideout and extend the match, and delivered the title to Stanford.
Inaugural championships were the theme for Stanford, which can trace its emergence as a distance running mecca to Nov. 25, 1996, in Tucson, Ariz. That's when Stanford swept both the men's and women's races at the NCAA cross country championships under third-year coach Vin Lananna, who built a tradition of distance-running excellence that continues today under Franklin P. Johnson Director of Track and Field Chris Miltenberg.
Stanford used its depth to win, placing five runners among the top 15 in the men's field, led by top American-born finisher Greg Jimmerson in fourth. The women had no one in the top nine, but Stanford's Nos. 4 and 5 runners, Leila Burr and Sarah Moore, did just enough to allow the Cardinal to edge Villanova. Those would become the first of nine NCAA cross country titles for the Cardinal.
Stanford has traditionally embraced the two-sport athlete and Chad Hutchinson brought that to another level when he became the first in school history to start at quarterback in a bowl game and as a pitcher in the College World Series. Hutchinson was the Offensive MVP in leading the Cardinal to a 38-0 Sun Bowl triumph over Michigan State in the most lopsided bowl victory in school history.
Kate Starbird scored a school record 753 points, averaged 20.9 points, and reached 40 in a game for the second consecutive season on her way to earning the Naismith Award as the nation's best women's basketball player. In Starbird's four seasons, Stanford went 118-14 and advanced to the Final Four three times.
More highlights from 1996-97:
• Brevin Knight led Stanford to its first Sweet Sixteen appearance in men's basketball since the 1941-42 season. The Cardinal beat Oklahoma and Wake Forest before losing to Utah.
• Freshman Lilia Osterloh won the NCAA women's tennis singles crown by dispatching Florida's M.C. White in only 50 minutes.
• Freshman Kerri Walsh was named NCAA Final Four MVP after leading Stanford to the NCAA women's volleyball championship.
• Kyle Peterson joined former star Jack McDowell as the only pitchers in school history to post three consecutive 10-win seasons.
• Stanford teams won 26 NCAA team titles during a six-year period from 1991-92 to 1996-97.
The Final Count:
Stanford, 1,084.5
North Carolina, 804
Florida, 763
Stanford's Top Scoring Teams:
1 (tie), Men's cross country, women's cross country, women's volleyball, women's tennis, men's tennis, men's volleyball, each 64 points.

The Yellow Jackets entered the game tonight 15-2 going against 9th ranked Columbia College. The Yellow Jackets got off to a two game lead behind strong net play. The Cougars came back to win the next two games by a total of four points gaining momentum going into game five. In game five, both teams played back and forth as the Yellow Jackets took a lead late to help them win the match 3-2. "I knew going in that were excited to be at home against a ranked team. I felt we were focused and ready to go from the start" said Coach Albers.
The Jackets controlled both games one and two by having strong net play behind senior Mindi Mayer, sophomore Kristin Engle, and freshman Maggie O'Neill. The Yellow Jackets got off to big leads in the middle of both matches to cruise to a 30-22 win in game one and 30-25 win in game two.
In games three and four, Columbia College came roaring back raising their level of play. Both games were close all the way to the end with the Cougars scored late to take the advantage. Columbia took both games by scores of 28-30 and 29-31.
The final game was extremely close with the score being tied at 7-7 and 13-13. The Yellow Jackets were able to score the final two points to win the match 15-13. "We really executed out of the middle well to open up our outside game" added Coach Albers. The Yellow Jackets were led in kills by Kristin Engle with 28 kills. Freshman Maggie O'Neill had 12 kills and senior Mindi Mayer added 11. Sophomore setter Mandy Brumfield had a great game leading the way with 54 assists. Senior Carly Benz led the way with 10 blocks.
The Yellow Jackets will be back in action this Wednesday night as they will be in Rapid City to take on rival South Dakota School of Mines.

Welcome to my first and only official web site. Here is where you can find out about my latest projects, contact fan sites, contribute to the charities I support, and learn anything you care to about my work. I appreciate your interest and involvement.
I am not a twitterer, or a facebooker, so this is the best way to keep up with the developments in my life and career. I'll keep it simple and try to update it as often as possible.
See you soon, I hope! And thanks for visiting.
After the last blog, I was off to Canada to do a fun job. It was a reading, with Jeremy Irons, of Midsummer Night's Dream in a concert of the Mendelssohn music conducted by Lorin Maazel. We did it in Toronto and Washington. Jeremy was spectacular, extremely funny. He is a great comic actor. It was so great to be out there, in front of a full orchestra, in the open air. I know the play very well, having played Hernia, Helena and Titania!
Immediately after that I went to Moscow to attend the Film Festival. That gave me the opportunity to meet up again with my Russian relatives. They came to the screening of the film and we had time to catch up.
On the 14th July, my English teacher from school, Mrs. welding, the person who inspired me to become an actress, had her 100th birthday. She is as bright and inspiring as she ever was, also as beautiful. As with so many truly great people, she is utterly modest.
Then off to Italy for what I hoped would be a protracted holiday, until November at least!
I was on holiday in Italy with my sister, looking forward to a quiet summer of reading books, and watering geraniums, when a call came from my beloved American agent saying that Bette Midler had sadly just fallen out of a project, and would I like to step into the Divine Miss M's shoes? It was a project written and directed by David Mamet and co starring the very great Al Pacino. How could any actress say no? They wanted me to start work pretty well immediately. This was an intimidating idea, so of course I had to say yes.
A week or so later I found myself in a very hot New York, being fitted with Ms M's wig..
An earthquake and a hurricane later I have just finished the project. Neither of these natural occurrences compared to the thrill of working opposite Al Pacino. He is just the most extraordinary actor I have ever worked with, constantly inventive, free, and totally committed. His work off screen is as powerful as what he does for the camera, he just can't stop himself. He is also very supportive of all the actors who work with him, loving the process and performers. One of the highlights of my career.
In the meantime we tragically lost another great artist, Amy Winehouse. Many words have been written about her, including a really good piece written by my friend Russell Brand.
I can only say that I loved her music, and am so sad that we have all been deprived of the flowering of that brilliant talent.
I finished my work in New york just before Sept 11. This year being the 10 year anniversary.
I was in New york on that terrible , monumental day, just finishing the rehearsal run for Dance of Death, the black comedy by Strindberg, that I was doing on Broadway with Sir Ian Mckellen.
So I witnessed first hand the great courage and cohesivness of the New Yorkers as they dealt with this massive tragedy. I am not by nature a nationalistic person, but I flew the American flag in those months. The people on Capitol Hill right now could learn a lesson.
Now I am back with Taylor who is shooting a film in New Orleans, still and always one of the greatest cities in the world.
See you soon!
PS don't forget to vote in the " Scream" election. It would mean a lot to me…
I have just heard that the acting profession has lost one of its finest, Margaret Tyzack, known as Maggie to all her fellow actors.
I began my career on television with Maggie, playing to her Cousin Bette. Then a whole lifetime and many roles later, both hers and mine, we played together onstage in Phedre. It was as if no time had passed. Maggie was still the kind, indomitable, funny, wry, generous person she was in 1971. I had admired her and learnt from her in 1971, and when 2009 came around, I was still admiring and learning from her. Her attitude to her work was always instinctive, sensible and unfussy. As we say, she just got on with it, but with such understated brilliance. There was always the feeling of a volcano beneath the surface, a fierce intelligence. She was also immense fun to be around, very hard working with always a great ironic sense of humour. She was supportive to her fellow actors, whether they were experienced or the ignorant green thing I was in 1971. She watched, encouraged and led by example.
We will all miss her very much.
So it is spring in London, and I am very happy to be back in my hometown.
May in any country in the northern hemisphere is the prettiest month, but it is particularly kind to London; the trees are a clean green, the river sparkles [from a distance] the pubs are heaving, the Londoners and their visitors are out and about, and the shops are full of girls eyeing frocks and sandals.
On Sunday I went to my favourite parts of London, the East End markets. I started out in Petticoat Lane, went then to Bricklane, then on to Spitalfeilds. I got some great bargains, [a really nice dress for 10 pounds in Petticoat lane, for example]. Petticoat lane was full of the traditional immigrant people who have always populated the East End, now an exotic and colourful mix of Asian and African, Brick Lane full of young artists and trendies and Asians, and Spitalfields full of young even trendiers.
Brick Lane amazed me. It was absolutely packed with with food, with shops and with people, mostly young. Spitalfields is all posh and done up. I loved the old Spitalfields, and you see that change with some sadness for the loss of the old. They at least have kept some of the old market, I am sure with a battle. I cheer those who fought for the old. The new, however, is pretty glossy and also lovely to be in and around, and also full of Londoners enjoying the shops, bars and restaurants available. City Life at its best. Next week Whitechapel, a market I love, and Roman Road. I count myself an East End woman. My mother's family was from West Ham since forever and I grew up in Southend on Sea, the St Tropez for east London.
We had our big Premiere of Aurthur, also on the East side of London. We were lucky that Warners made the film, because they are well known for really doing a great job in marketing and openings. An uber efficient and funfilled person, Louisa Radcliffe, organized the event. Now by the strange way life happens, she is kind of related to me in that she is the daughter of the lovely man married to my cousin, Tania.
Taylor met her with me many years ago, and was immediately impressed by her and asked her to be his assistant on "Proof of Life" She did so, and survived my husbands demanding nature with flying colours. She then decided to stay in the film business, and joined Warner Bros in the Marketing department where she has done extremely well. Leicester square was unavailable fro our premiere because of reconstruction, so it took place in the O2. This meant we could arrive by river, so the director, producers and actors took a boat and cruised past my beloved East End of London. I was the tour guide, pointing out the sights, like one of those tourist boats.
I thought the O2 was a great place for a big opening. It was wonderful, with lots of fans and 3 cinemas available for the screenings. A slight drawback was that the bus taking guests to the after party in Canary wharf got hopelessly lost and did a fine tour of the Blackwall tunnel [twice] and Deptford before finding Canary Wharf. A 10-minute journey took ¾ hour. Once they got there the food and the party was really great. They were ready for that drink! The best laid plans…
Back in Los Angeles a couple of weeks before, I was honoured to have my hand and feet cemented for posterity outside Graumans Chinese cinema on Hollywood Boulevard. This was enormously exciting for me.
Many years ago, like all first time visitors to LA, I made my way to Graumans, [now called Mann Theaters, to me it will always be Grauman's] to look at the hand and feet of all those iconic Hollywood stars. At that time Hollywood Boulevard was peopled more by drug dealers and hookers, but to me it still retained the tattered glamour of old Hollywood. It is considerably cleaned up now, and the Oscars have come back to their spiritual home. Like the East End of London, that part of Los Angeles is experiencing a rebirth, and is so much the better for it. As much as I can appreciate the strange pleasures of urban decay, I guess in the end I am a middle class girl and I like walking without fear and the possibility of a nice cappuccino!
It was a great day for me. My whole family came, as most of them now live in Los Angeles and my sister was visiting as well. They were all sitting in the front row, looking up at me with big smiles on their faces, my husband, my stepsons, my nephew Simon and his wife and sons and my nephew Basil. Russell B made a spectacular speech for me, funny and very warm-hearted. I have said it before and I say it again, you could not find a kinder, more generous hearted person than his Russellness. I am inordinately proud that my hand and feet are with all those other great stars of the screen. I did both my hands and feet back to front to confound the tourists of the future.
Another big highlight followed closely on the footprint of the footprint so to speak.
The following week I did my stint on the Iconic show Saturday Night Live. When they say live, that is exactly what it is. Russell had done it before me and gave me the wise advice to just let go and go with the flow, which is exactly what I did.
It was one of the more surreal weeks of my life, starting with a meeting where about 30 young writers sit on the floor in front of you and throw out ideas. It is a well crewed ship and brilliantly and strictly captained by Lorne Michaels. It was both terrifying and great fun to be a passenger on that venerable ship. The show itself passes in a mad blur of rushing around throwing on wigs and costumes. For an inveterate dresser upper like me it was heaven.
All for right now,
I send you all love and the admonition to take care of your environment. Recycle your water bottles. The Thames is awash with them. Don't use plastic bags except in an emergency. Mother Earth thanks you.

Salma Hayek knew she was right about the necklace—not one she owned but one belonging to her character, Elena, a Mexican drug-cartel queen, in Oliver Stone's Savages. Elena flaunts her sleek style like a kind of armor, and Hayek wanted to crown it with a signature piece of jewelry, a choker of square diamonds that Elena would wear every day. "I kept fighting with Oliver about that," Hayek says. "He said she would have new jewelry all the time, but I said no, always wearing the same one is a way to show her power." If you've seen the film—with its ever-reappearing diamonds—you know who won the battle.
"Oh, that necklace!" Stone says now. "God forbid if we'd lost that! Salma's very detailed. She's exact about her hair, makeup, clothes, and she's always got a point of view. She needs to get it right, and I adore her for it, because it pays off in the end. There were times I gritted my teeth—this is costing time. But she gets what she wants, this woman."
Talk about getting what she wants: On a summer evening, Hayek is settling into a seat on the private jet that's about to whoosh us from New York to Boston. She's wearing a black Alberta Ferretti sheath meticulously tailored to her celebrated curves. Immediately she kicks off her towering black suede pumps and tucks her legs under her while her hairdresser, Robert, busily stows her bags, unfolds her tray table and lays out platters of fruit, cheese and crackers. The actress spent the day promoting Savages, and now she's being flown back to the set of Grown Ups 2, the sequel to the 2010 hit comedy in which she played Adam Sandler's fashion-obsessed wife. She's carrying with her three days' worth of Cooler Cleanse, the juice regimen she helped develop, and in a few minutes she'll be telling me all about Nuance Salma Hayek, her beauty line for CVS, but for the moment business is forgotten: She's on her cell phone, cooing "Besos!" ("kisses" in Spanish) to her daughter, Valentina, who turned five at the end of September.
Hayek scoops up a fig before the first plate is fully unwrapped, gesturing to Robert and me to help ourselves. She eats steadily (though in small bites—three per blackberry) for the duration of the 50-minute flight. "Do you want some wine?" she asks me. "I'll have some." Told there is no wine, she shrugs, taps my tape recorder and says, "OK, let's go!"
I am mesmerized. Hayek, at 46, is insanely beautiful onscreen and even more so in person. Her voice is a cat's tongue, warm and slightly rough, and her Mexican accent rolls out on a sea of elongated vowels.
She launches quickly into girlfriend mode—calls me "baby," swats my arm or knee for emphasis, confides. "I'm not a skinny girl," she says. "I push it. I'm at the limit of chubbiness at all times, but I'm happy at all times." She says she's scared of needles and plastic surgery and for now prefers using creams and oils. "I have to have all those tricks so I can show up for work and look fantastic." She even teases a little, mentioning the intimate texts she receives from her husband, François-Henri Pinault, the French CEO of the luxury-brands firm PPR, whose labels include Gucci and Balenciaga. "Of course, I can show you a text that would surprise you," she murmurs sexily. "I can show you a thousand things. But I'm not going to."
Hayek looks pretty comfy sitting literally sky high, but she had to fight to get here. At 23, she was a sensation on Mexican TV, starring as the title character on the telenovela Teresa. That kind of work, however, "was not my passion," she says. "I was smart enough to realize that was not good acting, and I wanted to be a really good actress." She quit, moved to Los Angeles and, as she recalls, "started from the bottom all over again. I was prepared to be unknown, but I was not prepared to be rejected so many times and to be made fun of because I came from a Mexican soap opera. It was almost like, 'How dare you think you can be an actress here?' Like I was a stupid person for considering that possibility." She chortles in triumph. "God, we set them straight! I was smart enough to understand that the consumer power of over 40 million Latinos in this country eventually was going to weigh on [Hollywood] and that these people would want to see themselves reflected."
Her persistence paid off. Hayek landed films, including Desperado and From Dusk Till Dawn, that gradually increased her profile. When she wanted to produce and star in Frida, a biopic about the Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, "everybody closed the door, for nearly 10 years, but I stayed on it," she says. Frida earned six Oscar nominations (including Best Actress for Hayek) and won two. When Hayek's production company, Ventanarosa, pitched U.S. TV networks on the idea for the series Ugly Betty, they were initially hesitant. "So instead of taking one year to get it on the air, it took us three," she says. The show eventually ran on ABC for four seasons, netting three Emmy awards and 19 nominations, including one for Hayek as Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Of her stick-to-it-iveness, Hayek says, "I don't have stamina in exercise"—she grins, gives me a swat—"but I have it in life."
She's also unafraid to challenge herself. In 2003, as a first-time director, she won a daytime Emmy for a Showtime film called The Maldonado Miracle. "Directing is the best thing I do, and for me it's the easiest thing I do," she says. She directed a music video for Prince and recently did another for her friend Jada Pinkett Smith, whose song "Nada Se Compara" (Nothing Compares) has a story line about human trafficking. Hayek insisted that Pinkett Smith perform naked, "to show how vulnerable it can be to be in the body of a woman," she says. "You're gonna go, 'Whoa, Jada can sing like that? She looks like that?' All of a sudden you'll see you've been looking at this person, but you've never really looked at this person."
"I can't tell you how many times I've been asked to take my clothes off, but Salma asked me once, and it's done. It's not even a question," Pinkett Smith says. "That goes to show you how much I trust and adore her. She said, 'I need you to be courageous! This is the power they try to steal from us—you must show it!' Her passion is just contagious." She laughs admiringly, then continues, "Life in general is difficult for women, the patriarchal culture that we live in and also this Hollywood game. Sometimes you can get very disconnected from your deepest sense of self. But she's someone who can naturally connect to it and understand it. Every time I'm with her, she has something to offer me."
Hayek won over Oliver Stone, too. When the director cast Jennifer Lopez in U Turn, Hayek chided him for not auditioning her; years later, Stone envisioned Savages' Elena with Hayek in mind. "She was right" about the necklace, he says. "She brought the prop to life. I'd work with her again in a second. She's a delight." He laughs. "Well, not exactly a delight—she's a hot chile pepper in a blue dress. She's one of a kind."
Hayekis having the time of her life, both professionally and personally. Not giving birth until age 41 was "the best thing that ever happened to me," she says. "I think I'm a better person now, I understand things better now, so I can be a better guide. I've done a lot of things with my life that I'm satisfied with. So I don't have the sensation that a child is limiting me. If I sometimes have to stop everything and just be a mother, I'm like, 'Ooh, that's cool. I love it.' It's different for everyone, but in my case, it was better to do it now. Not to mention I found the right guy now, too."
Hayek sounds giddily, happily married, which thrills her, because she didn't think she could be. Though she'd had her share of high-profile boyfriends, including the actor Edward Norton, "I didn't think marriage worked," she says. "I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable—that it was something they just put up with for their children."
Instead, she's delighted that she still feels in love. "And my God, you have a partner who's there with you and for you," she says enthusiastically. "I have a master of decision making helping me out, so of course my life and my career are better. I really enjoy having somebody that I can be weak with. If I'm insecure or afraid, I can talk about it, and he'll give me strength and courage. I noticed in the past, a lot of guys who like strong women, they really freak out if you're not strong 24/7. Or they complain about you being strong, then the moment you're not strong, they're like, 'Oh, no, no, no.' With us, there's no power struggle. I don't mind doing things for him because he does so much for me, and he feels the same way."
Her professional life is equally strong. Hayek enjoys her work more than ever—"now that I don't have to work," she interjects, laughing and swatting my arm. "It's so much more fun! The minute I didn't have that huge pressure over my shoulders, I started getting more work." Her electrifying, slyly comic mix of the maternal and the lethal stood out in Savages. In the French independent film Americano, released in the U.S. last June, she played a struggling Tijuana prostitute and performed an erotic striptease.
"I was in the best shape of my life," she says with a grin. "I exercised, dieted. I was so excited about my body. I thought, I can do this! This can happen!" Then, the day before filming started, she aggravated an old ankle injury and, with no budget for reshoots, had to do much of the dance lying down. "But it worked for the character and turned out to be very sexy," she says. "I thought, What the heck. This for sure will be the last prostitute I ever play. In the next one, I'll be the madam." She laughs.
It's easy to see Hayek in a sexy role; more surprising, perhaps, is her involvement in another new film, this month's Here Comes the Boom with Kevin James, best known for the TV series The King of Queens. Hayek plays a high school nurse who helps a teacher (James) become a mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter to save their school's music program. "I take things for a lot of reasons that make no sense for anyone else," Hayek says. In this case, she came aboard because of her affection for James and for Adam Sandler, whose company produced the film. "I love them and their wives. I'll go with them anywhere, I don't care what the movie is. Because we have fun, they take care of my child, it's a great family environment." She's happily impressed with the way Boomturned out. "One of my favorite movies is Rocky," she says, "and this is in that vein of sporty movies where the underdog succeeds."
She brought that same interest in non-movie-star people and their lives to her cosmetic line, insisting on price points low enough that most women could afford them. The Nuance products, which Hayek actively helped develop, are based on creams created by her grandmother in the city of Coatzacoalcos, where Hayek grew up, the daughter of an opera singer and a Mexican-Lebanese businessman. Her grandmother, who was a trained cosmetologist, relied on indigenous Mexican ingredients such as bark from the Tepezcohuite tree, which is used to treat burn victims.
The actress recalls accompanying her grandmother to buy bottles of injectable vitamin A (aka retinol). Hayek recommended them to her cosmetic team, but she says the dose turned out to be too concentrated to sell over the counter in the U.S. So they developed a time-release mechanism. Other lines may offer similar creams, Hayek says, but at prices far higher than hers ($22). "Every woman should be entitled to preserve her beauty and youth," she says.
Hayek'sbeauty empire and acting obligations don't take up all her time. She's also developing an animated film adaptation of Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet; working with charities that address domestic violence; and promoting the Cooler Cleanse regimen. She plans to do a three-day cleanse herself this weekend, because she wants to drop a few pounds before her husband visits. "Everybody has a weakness," she says. "Mine is food. If you love food and you love red wine and they put you in France, you're in a good place and you're in a bad place at the same time." She laughs. "You have to weigh yourself every day, and you have to have an alarm number. When you get to that number, you have to start putting it in reverse. I think if I was not in love, I would probably let myself go faster. Love gives me the vanity to continue. I'm not necessarily vain, but when I gained fifty-something pounds in the pregnancy, it did something to me. Since then, at least I make an effort."
By now the plane has landed, and we're in a car on the tarmac. I compliment her on her boundless energy. "Ay, I've been tired for five years," she replies. "But I'm the luckiest girl in the world. How could I possibly complain?" In her thirties, she suffered a restless, insecure period, when it felt as if, after Frida,nothing more was going to happen for her. "I could have done anything. I could have played anyone," she says, "but I never got the chance. And I was very frustrated for a long time. But then I became so happy about other things in my life that it didn't matter anymore . A good career—it's a great thing to have. But I see a lot of people with great careers who are not happy people.
"And I never thought that I was going to direct," she continues, "or produce a successful TV show that would help a community or be nominated for an Oscar. My daughter can always say that: 'My mom was this actress from Mexico who was nominated for an Oscar.' "
She certainly never thought her forties would be her favorite decade, but that's what's happening. "I feel more relaxed," she says. "I don't have to prove something. I don't have that urge of 'Something's missing, gotta get out there and find it somehow.' " She hugs me good-bye and gets out of the car. "I was always dreaming big," she sums up, "but my life is better than anything I dreamed."

Reviews for Pork Chops with Apples and Stuffing
"My family loves this dish. The flavors blend well together and the pork chops come out moist, which has been a problem with a lot pork dishes."
"Mouth watering fall off the bone deliciousness and actually is my husband's most requested favorite dinner!"
"Excellent dish, very tasty and super easy to prepare. It seems much fancier than the ingredients and effort needed to make it. Honestly, we make a lot of gourmet dishes at our house, recipes which have many more ingredients and require advanced skills and those can be a lot of fun when you like to cook but for an easy meal this is hard to beat."
"This dish isn't for everyone; we found it quite unpalatable. The flavors and textures did not blend well together at all. For us it was a complete waste of high quality pork chops. Lesson learned: next time we'll grill the chops, put the stuffing on the side, and bake an apple pie for dessert."
"Very tasty! No need 2 cans apple pie filling as reviews said because will be so sweet and not healthy."
