Rated 4.7 out of 5 by 6 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by RinconQueen Unique I have a cabinet filled with Tupperware Storage containers. Difficult to determine what is flour or self rising flour, etc.. Placed these on all of my containers. So easy to change the name of whatever is inside the container as I use them for different items. Very pleased with this product. Went back & purchased additional quantities. June 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by suzieq101 chalkboard label set These are cute shape labels, easy to use, I put them on glass jars to keep sugar , flour, in. Great item, comes with chalk, too. April 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JadesFire Perfect for Jars I bought these to label our collection of jars of bulk products. We buy various wheat berries that look pretty similar to one another so that only my bread-baking husband can really tell them apart by sight. I got some glass jars to store the berries in and these to label the jars, and they work perfectly. I am not sure what sort of jars the other reviewer was having trouble with, but mine are smooth glass and the label's been sticking perfectly the better part of a month so far. October 14, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by poinsetta47 Chalk Stickers--simple to use! I got these stickers to use as gifts. They are a very simple method of identifying items for various uses, such as in the kitchen pantry, or in the craft room. Even in the garage storage. August 21, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen448 Works well! The stickers have cute shapes, they stick well, and chalk writes well on them! Good value for price. August 5, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by mooonchild Doesn't stick to jars! These labels are adorable, and they work fine on a flat surface, but when applied to regular curved jars, it only takes a few hours before they flatten themselves out and are no longer attached to the jar. I have tried gluing them as well, and they are very stubborn...only superglue has bonded the label to the glass, and some of the smaller points are still peeling away from the jar. If you have a flat surface that you'd like to decorate with an easy chalkboard label, these are fantastic, but they don't work as suggested on curved jars. August 31, 2013

The Sewing Summit: Swaps
Elizabeth of Don't Call Me Betsy, AnneMarie of Gen X Quilters, and I arranged a little in-person roommate swap. How often do you get the chance to exchange swaps in person? It was so fun to receive things made by my closest blog-friends-turned-real-friends. : ) From Elizabeth, I got this adorable hexagon zippy pouch with hand-quilting around the hexy. I'm determined to learn how to embroider someday soon, and this pouch will be perfect for my supplies!
The back is one of my fave blocks, the x and + block!
AnneMarie made me this gorgeous paper-pieced pillow from Heirloom. I LOVE Heirloom, so she definitely nailed it with this. It looks great on our couch too, as you can see. And guess what—there's a zipper in this, too. You ladies are totally putting the pressure on me to figure out those darn things! : )
Speaking of AnneMarie, here's something else she made me a while back, that I have yet to share, and which came in handy at the Summit. This sweet linen lingerie bag! How could you not love that underwear print? And the linen and decorative stitches are the perfect finishing touches.
And here's what I made for AnneMarie—yep, I'm still obsessing on the paper-pieced stars from Carol Doak's book 50 Fabulous Paper-Pieced Stars. Since all the stars in the book are named after states, I thought it would be symbolic and meaningful and just plain cool to use the Wisconsin, Florida, Ohio, and Utah stars in my mini-quilts for the girls. One star for each of our home states, plus a star for the state where the Summit was held. (No, that's not my awesome carpet in the photo. That would be the carpet at Little America hotel.)
I wanted Elizabeth to get the same thing, but in different fabric. Sadly, this plan was far too complicated to execute in the time I had available before leaving for the Summit. I knew I should try to come up with a simpler plan, but once I thought of the state-stars idea, I couldn't unthink it. I had to do it. But I'm hard at work finishing up Elizabeth's and I hope to get it in the mail to her in the next few days. Thanks for your patience, E!
Moving right along, Kristie of OCD gave me this insanely cute framed clutch while we were at Summit, as payment for creating a couple of blog buttons for her recently. LOVE the fabric, the flower, and the blue doodads on the frame. Also, this particular clutch is famous, because it's straight from Kristie's framed-purse tutorial for the Moda Bake Shop! Click here to see my clutch's 15 minutes of fame (and learn how to make one yourself!)
The inside of the clutch, with Kristie's cute label.
Here's a stack o' goodies I scored at the Summit FQ swap, organized by Kaelin of the Plaid Scottie. We were all expecting the swap to be a full-contact sport, but everybody was super calm and orderly. After the swap, several of us used our FQs to test Elizabeth's Rain-Man-like knowledge of fabric lines. That red and orange print in the bottom-right corner was the only one that stumped her! Anybody know it?
Yet another swap I participated in was the Color Wheel charm swap organized by Kati of From the Blue Chair. I would love to make a pixelated color-wheel quilt like Kati's, and with these charms, that should come together nicely.
I think that about covers the swaps. Come back tomorrow for my final Summit-related post: The swag, plus a swaggy giveaway!

MTB Thursday - Fatbikes are Funbikes
Submitted by Ben Welnak on
courtesy of http://fatbikegallery.com
We've posted stories about fatbikes in the past, but it's different this winter. Different brands and builds of fatbikes have now filled bike shops across the country. Shops that had denied their popularity in the past have jumped on board, giving cyclists more opportunities to kick the 3.7+ inch tires. Stop in any shop this winter and you'll feel the fatbike buzz.
While I'm certain many of you have seen fatbikes either at your local shop, on the trail, or through social media, there is a percentage of you that are saying to yourself, "fat tires, fat…what?" I'm also certain that 90% of you reading this haven't actually ridden one, let along gotten one out on the trail, beach, or in the snow. For that reason, let's step back and learn a little about these monster truck bikes first.
What is a "fatbike" and why are they so damn fun?
The origins of the fatbike are fairly recent. Even the name, "fatbike," has been a recent development. Check out our story from last year discussing some of the history, Colorado connections, and other basic fatbike information: http://303cycling.com/fat-snow-bike.
While they were originally designed for snow, riders have found that the versatility of the wide tires has carried over to other terrain in all seasons. Areas that were previously unridable, such as sand and rocks, are transformed into fun alternatives. They have become an option for a wide variety of riders – from intense ultra endurance winter racers to bikepacking/touring riders, to commuters and recreational cyclists.
The fatbike frames are built specifically to accommodate tires that are double the width of normal mountain bike tires. This means a different bottom bracket shell width, different rear hub widths, wheel configurations, forks, and rims.
The bottom bracket width is stretched from the normal 68 or 73mm to 100mm wide. This keeps the chain from rubbing the extra wide tire while maintaining the proper chainline.
Normal mountain bike hubs are 100mm wide in the front and 135mm rear. On a fatbike, the widths are stretched out to 135mm in the front and either 135 or 170mm rear (and one manufacturer is now prototyping a 186mm wide rear hub). While we could get into a whole separate discussion on the hub widths, wheelbuilding, and the specifics of fatbike wheels, it's important to know that the wider hubs allow the use of wider rim configurations, while maintaining tire/frame clearance, and providing adequate wheel strength.

What a difference a year makes.
Fatbikes have taken a large leap to becoming a regular, accepted slice of the cycling population, both from the consumer and dealer perspective. Several factors have driven the demand over the last few years.
First is that they're just plain fun. After years of focusing on building the lightest, fastest, carbon race mountain bike to ride the same trails over and over, cyclists are open to trying something different. You saw it with singlespeed mountain bikes. Weight is initially a concern with all the extra tire rubber, but people quickly realize that the weight doesn't take away from the ride.
The choices of bikes, components, and accessories have grown, which allows cyclists some quality, lower priced options.
Bikes and Tires.
Frames are available in aluminum, steel, titanium, and even carbon. A year ago, the list of companies making fatbike frames as a standard offering was only at about 15. That list has doubled and many small, custom builders are making their own versions. Carbon even hit the scene this year with Denver's 38 Frameworks .
Fatbike riders have quickly pushed to upgrade and make their bikes into performance machines capable of handling any riding style and still hold up to daily riding and manufacturers have met a lot of that demand. Salsa Cycles recently released a performance/race focused stock model called the Beargrease. It's a 28 pound fatbike, built with a lightweight aluminum frame and fork and equipped with lighter weight components.
The main two tire manufacturers, Minnesota-based Surly Bikes and 45NRTH, have eight and three tire models currently available, respectively. Widths of the currently available models range from the 3.8 inch wide "Larry" to 4.8 inches. 45NRTH even produces a studded, 4 inch wide tire called the "Dillinger." Two winters ago, Surly offered up only two options and 45NRTH didn't exist. Chatter among the fatbike community indicates that many more options will be available in the coming years.
Cyclists have always cobbled together their warmest winter clothes to allow them to get outside in the winter. Until last year, most winter gear seemed to be the last thing on manufacturers' lists. 45NRTH out of Minnesota has stepped up and started to produce winter-specific cycling products. Rather than just offering a regular cycling shoe that's just a little thicker and warmer, their newest release, the Wolvhammer winter boot, is designed specifically for some of the coldest conditions normal cyclists would ever encounter. 45NRTH also produces winter-specific tires, headgear, pedals, and chains. Expect to see them releasing other softgoods in the future.
Fatbike specific websites such as Fat-bike.com, Ridefatbikes.com, and Fatbikegallery.com, offer up everything you'd want to know about fatbikes, including technical information, new products, reviews, and photos.
Last winter there was a decent selection of races. Ultra endurance races such as the Susitna 100 in Alaska and the Arrowhead 100 in Northern Minnesota are established. There were also shorter, local races to choose from, mostly throughout the Upper Midwest. The race scene exploded the 2012-2013 winter. Two large series, the Great Lakes Fat Bike Series and Fat-Bike.com series formed and have 15 races between them ranging in length from 50k down to 10-20 miles. Since the start of the winter, other smaller series and races have formed throughout the rest of the country.
Locally, the Cloud City Wheelers in Leadville have been putting on a winter racing series for several years.
Leadville Winter Bike Series
The Cloud City Wheelers have been putting on a series of winter races in Leadville. To get an idea of what the races are like, we posted a race report in March from the third race of the series, the Mineral Belt Mayhem: http://303cycling.com/leadville-winter-mtb-race-series.
The 2013 series schedule has been posted and it promises to be another fun-filled, toe freezing, and lung-busting year. Racers show up to the races on fatbikes and regular mountain bikes looking for a hard, fun, and low-key atmosphere. Regular mountain bikes are invited to race alongside fatbikes, but if the conditions are soft, they are hard to navigate and walking would be necessary.
The series kicks off on January 19 at Copper Mountain. The Copper en Fuego was a new race last year that was extremely popular. They increased the flair a bit from the usual Leadville races and added features, including fireworks and more. For more details about the race, be sure to check out the race page here: http://www.cloudcitywheelers.com/ai1ec_event/161/?instance_id=
The second race of the series is the Tennessee Pass Night Jam on February 19. This is another evening race, so bring your lights to Tennessee Pass Nordic Center. Come out for a great race on superbly groomed cross country ski trails followed by food and Oskar Blues Beer. Also, dress really warm, because race time temps generally dip into the single digits up there. 5pm Register/Check In. Go to the race site for more information http://www.cloudcitywheelers.com/ai1ec_event/tennessee-pass-night-jam/?i...
The Mineral Belt Mayhem is on March 2. The race is an 11-mile loop on Leadville's Mineral Belt Trail at Night! The start and finish is on Harrison Ave. during Leadville's Crystal Carnival Weekend. It's a unique opportunity to race your bike down the main drag of Leadville. You can take the family up to check out the Skijoring prior to the evening race. For more details of the race, go to the site: http://www.cloudcitywheelers.com/ai1ec_event/mineral-belt-mayhem/?instan...
On April 13 the series wraps up with the East Side Epic. It's a day race that takes a route just east of Leadville's downtown. Get the registration information here:

Non-Fat fat bike
Submitted by Gangnam Style (not verified) on
Hey guys/gals, the budget (and spouse) won't allow me to add a FAT bike to the quiver, but I want to do those snow races this year. If I get some snow tires for my 29er, will I be ok? Or is it pointless to show up unless you have a FATTY. Those races seem like a blast, but don't want to be hiking the whole time if a 29er can't handle the courses. Any feedback appreciated. HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Hey Gangnam,
If you do your gangham dance across the snow, it doesn't matter what you ride. The answer is that it really depends. The Tennessee Pass race is usually fine on a 29er as it's really cold up there at night and they keep the ski trails groomed, so it's pretty hard packed. You'll still be at a disadvantage because you're missing out on some grip and fun, but you'll be good.I have no idea with the Copper race because I think they didn't have much grooming and it was a hike a bike for most people last year. I expect that they'll be a little more prepared than last year. The East Side Epic and Mineral Belt Mayhem are a toss up. Last year the Mineral Belt race was with new snow. It was really soft and there were a range of finishing times - from 1hr to 3hrs. So, my advice is watch the forecast for those two. If there is more than a couple inches a day or two before, rent a fatbike and try it out. Pedal of Littleton (pedalonline.com) knows everything fatbike and rents them. Hope that helps!

Yeah, you would be ok at most
Submitted by JCarr (not verified) on
Yeah, you would be ok at most of the leadville races on a "regular" mountain bike. I would try to run the biggest volume tires you have though at a fairly low pressure. Copper race last year was a fairly ungroomed course but had some pavement/super fast packed sections. I did that one on a Fatback with 4.7" tires. At the Tennessee Pass night jam I raced the same bike and was beat out on the last climb by a guy on a 29er.... Those trails are very well packed, but would still be scary on the DHs on a traditional MTB. Hope this helps!

Series Update

from the Leadville Winter Series Facebook page:
"Greetings fellow Fat Bikers! A few changes have been made to our schedule. The race at Copper Mountain will start at 6 pm. The Tennessee Pass Night Jam has been moved to the 2nd thanks to Vail Mtn. Games double booking the date. Happy Holidays!"

March 30, 2011
TEMPE, Ariz. -
Leading Off:
After finishing up their second straight five-game week, the Sun Devils continue their home stand with a three-game Pac-10 series with the Oregon Ducks. Last week, ASU split a two-game midweek series at Cal State Fullerton then won two out of three from Arizona in the the first Pac-10 series of the season.
Devils vs. Ducks:
The Sun Devils and Ducks have met 10 times, with Arizona State holding a 8-2 edge in the all-time series. ASU took two of three last season in Eugene in the first ever meeting between the schools on Oregon's home field.
March Madness:
Arizona State baseball just finished its own version of March Madness. The Devils just completed a stretch where they played 13 games in 17 days, including three travel days. That included a bus trip to Fullerton, California. In the month of March, ASU traveled 4,710 miles, going from Tempe to Surprise (76 miles roundtrip), Tempe to Atlanta to Auburn (3,900 miles roundtrip) and Tempe to Fullerton (734 miles roundtrip). Of their 18 games in March, 10 came against teams ranked in the Top 25.
Packing Them In:
With in-state rival Arizona in town over the weekend, tickets for the games Winkles Field-Packard Stadium at Brock Ballpark were a hot item. All three games with the Wildcats sold out, giving Arizona State five sell out crowds of 4,371 this season. Both games of the Oklahoma series also were sell outs. ASU is averaging 3,417 fans per game this season after averaging 3,506 fans per game last season.
Catching On:
Junior catcher Austin Barnes has been a beast at the plate for the Devils this season. Barnes, who hit the game-winning homer against Arizona on Sunday, leads the team with his .426 average and .672 slugging percentage. He has collected 10 doubles and scored 15 runs while handling the pitching staff from his catcher position.
Joey D. Delivering:
A pleasant surprise for the Sun Devils this season has been the bat of sophomore Joey DeMichele. DeMichele, who had only nine at bats last season, is hitting .383 (23-60) and slugging .667. The Phoenix product collected five hits in a win over Auburn, leads the team with three triples and has taken over in the clean-up spot in the order.
Cal State Fullerton/Arizona Recap:
The Sun Devil offense couldn't get things going at Cal State Fullerton in the series opener, as the Titans took game one 7-3...Alex Blackford pitched a gem in the second game of the quick series and Zach Wilson's three-run homer was the big blow in a 10-1 Sun Devil victory...a late inning error allowed the winning run to score for Arizona in the Pac-10 opener, as ASU fell 5-2 on Friday night...Brady Rodgers was dominant in game two, allowing only two hits over seven innings in a 5-1 win...The Devils took the series with an 8-1 win on Sunday. Austin Barnes hit a two-run home run to put the Devils up for good in the seventh inning.
Honoring Cory Hahn:
As a tribute to injured Sun Devil Cory Hahn, the team will wear special wristbands with Cory's name and #34 and also has had his number embroidered on the team's stirrups. Players will also wear his initials and number on their hats. The entire team visited Hahn during their trip to Fullerton and Hahn attended the first game of the series at Goodwin Field.
Give Me A K:
The Arizona State pitching staff has been a well-oiled strike out machine over the first third of the 2011 season. Sun Devil pitchers have punched out 205 hitters over 217.0 innings, led by Jake Barrett's 39 Ks in his 35.1 innings of work. Eight members of the pitching staff have already recorded 20+ strikeouts. Last season, ASU pitchers fanned 553 batters in 558.0 innings.
The Champ Is Here!:
Junior righty Kramer Champlin turned in a career effort against Oral Roberts on March 18, throwing his first career complete game in a 5-1 victory. Champlin, who threw six complete games at Western Nevada over the past two years, limited the Golden Eagles to six hits over the nine innings, striking out eight.
Johnny Lightning:
Junior Johnny Ruettiger has added a new wrinkle to his already impressive repertoire, becoming a stolen base machine in 2011. Ruettiger, who entered 2011 with 22 career stolen bases, has already swiped 17 this season. That is a new career high, breaking the previous high of 12 which was set during his freshman season.
20 Game Winner:
While in Auburn, junior lefty Mitchell Lambson picked up his 20th career victory. Lambson is 20-9 in his career, making 84 appearances with only one start. His one start, at Washington in 2009, was a complete game. Lambson's 20 wins puts him third all-time in school history for wins by pitchers who were primarily relievers in their career. Lambson trails only Sam Cook, who recorded 25 wins in 60 appearances (11 starts) from 1961 to 1963 and Kevin Dukes, who won 21 games in 82 appearances (18 starts) from 1978 to 1981. Lambson's brother Mark earned his first career win at Auburn (naturally, out of the bullpen).
More on Mitch:
Lambson picked up his 10th career save on against Oral Roberts, putting him in an exclusive club. Only three pitchers in Arizona State history have ever recorded at least 20 victories with at least 10 saves. Only Kevin Dukes, who pitched from 1978 to 1981, won 21 games and saved 20 games and Mitch Dean, who won 25 games and saved 11 from 1976 to 1980, had ever accomplished the feat prior to Lambson.
Brothers With Arms:
With four appearances last week Mitchell Lambson has now made 84 career appearances, passing Kevin Dukes for fourth most in ASU history. Last season he tied a school record with his 39 appearances. His brother, Mark, is a right handed reliever out of the ASU bullpen. Mark retired the first 11 hitters he faced in his Sun Devil career against Delaware. He also picked up his first career win against Auburn. Mitchell and Mark are the sixth set of brothers to play in the same season for Arizona State.
Most Career Pitching Appearances
1. Brett Bordes (2003-06)........ 109
2. Kendall Carter (1981-84)...... 102
3. Ryan Bradley (1995-97)....... 99
4. Mitchell Lambson (2009-P) 84
5. Kevin Dukes (1986-89)........ 82
Newman's Golden Glove:
Matt Newman's error against Kansas was the first of his Sun Devil career. It happened in his 176th game for ASU. Newman's errorless streak reached 211 chances before it ended in right field at Surprise Stadium on a ground ball that Newman kicked away, allowing the runner to reach third on a double.
Take Your Base:
Zack MacPhee has shown off a keen eye this season, drawing a team-leading 22 walks. He drew a career-high 41 last season. His 22 walks lead the Pac-10.
Career Highs:
Several Sun Devils have established single game career highs already this season. Xorge Carrillo set a new high in RBI with three at Auburn on March 12; Joey DeMichele recorded five hits, including three doubles, at Auburn on March 12; Johnny Ruettiger collected four hits against UC Riverside at Surprise on March 6; Riccio Torrez homered twice against New Mexico on February 18. He also drove in five runs, setting a new high; Zach Wilson collected five hits, including three doubles, against Delaware on February 26. He tied his career high with five RBI against Northern Illinois on March 4 at Surprise; Andy Workman has twice tied his career high with three hits, against Delaware on February 26 and at Auburn on March 11; Andrew Aplin tied a career high with three hits against Oral Roberts on March 18.
The Sun Devils are ranked #5 by Baseball America, #7 in the Collegiate Baseball poll, #4 in the NCBWA poll and #9 in the USA Today/ESPN Coaches poll.
Golden Spikes Watch List:
Arizona State landed three student-athletes on the 2011 Golden Spikes Award Preseason Watch List. Johnny Ruettiger, Zack MacPhee and Deven Marrero were all on the list. MacPhee was a semifinalist a season ago.
Legacy Devils:
The 2011 Sun Devil team features a unique connection for four student-athletes. Senior OF Matt Newman has Maroon and Gold in his blood, as his father, Randy, was a pitcher for the Sun Devils in 1981 and 1982, winning 15 career games and the 1981 National Championship. Matt and Randy joined a select list as a father-son combo who both played in the College World Series. But Matt Newman is not the only Sun Devil who has a father with an ASU National Championship ring. Freshman Trever Allen is the son of Jamie Allen, who played three seasons at ASU, including the 1977 National Championship year. Jamie was a lifetime .333 hitter at ASU and he also went 6-2 on the mound. He was a two-time All-WAC team member and was a member of the 1977 All-College World Series team. Joining Newman and Allen as Legacy Devils are freshmen Tucker Esmay and Michael Benjamin. Esmay is the son of Head Coach Tim Esmay and Benjamin is the son of assistant coach Mike Benjamin.

A bevy of swans is an impressive sight. A lake turned white with thousands of the large white birds is enough to make you stop breathing, at least for a few seconds.
Currently, there are more than 40,000 tundra swans in Northern Utah, roughly 31,000 of the birds are on the waters at the Bear River Wildlife Refuge near Brigham City. It is the highest number of birds counted on the refuge marshes at this time of year.
It is, as one spectator said, "A truly incredible sight."
The swans flew into Utah this month on their annual northern migration from California to Canada and Alaska. They will move south over the same route, back to California, in November for winter. With the onset of good weather here in Utah, they will begin flying north, but the big flights won't come until the end of March and into April. Until then the viewing opportunities are, as noted, "incredible.''
Most of the large birds are tundra swans, the smaller of the species. It is possible in these flocks of swans to see a few of the larger trumpeter swans.
Howard Browers, biologist at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, said he hasn't seen trumpeter swans among the tundra swans yet but pointed out: "They may well be here. It's hard to tell by sight. It is easier to identify the (trumpeter swans) by their call. Then when you see the two together you can tell the larger trumpeter swans.''
Trumpeter swans are the largest of the swan species with a wing span of nearly 10 feet and weighing upwards of 33 pounds. At one time, they were on the endangered species list. They are recovering and are now a species of concern on the threatened status.
This is not the largest migration of swans into Utah. The peak of more than 60,000 tundra swans were visiting Utah prior to the floods of 1983–84. "For whatever reason,'' reported Phil Douglass, with the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, "we've never gotten back to those numbers. It's not that the population has declined, we just think the birds may have changed their migration flights because of the floods.''
Where are the best places to see the huge wedges of swans?
The Bear River Refuge has an auto driving tour around its marshes that is open to the public.
"Usually the birds are out quite a distance and are difficult to see up close. Now they're closer and there are much better viewing opportunities,'' said Browers.
Douglass suggested those interested in viewing swans "up close,'' consider driving the extra distance north to the Salt Creek Waterfowl Management Area. "It's a little more remote, but the birds are closer,'' he said.
Farmington and Ogden bays also offer viewing opportunities to swans and other wildlife.
The large number of bald and golden eagles that visit Northern Utah in the winter have begun to fly north. There are still a few around and can be seen at Bear River, Ogden and Farmington bays.
Browers pointed out that along with the swans, "we're getting other species of migrating birds. Now we are holding about 3,000 avocets on the (Bear River marshes). That's a record number for this early in the year.''
There is a visitors center at the Bear River site that is open six days a week and offers information in swans and other wildlife found in the area.
Those visiting the viewing areas should go prepared with proper attire for the outdoors and binoculars or spotting scopes. And, of course, cameras are also nice to have.

Women's Lacrosse Falls in 2OT to Dartmouth in Ivy League Semifinal, 11-10
Box Score
PHILADELPHIA (5/3/13) – Turnovers proved costly in overtime as Princeton committed three while Dartmouth's Hana Bowers scored the golden goal as Dartmouth defeats Princeton 11-10 in double overtime in the semifinals of the Ivy League Tournament on Friday, May 3 at Franklin Field.
It was a back-and-forth affair with seven lead changes and seven ties.
Dartmouth (10-6) jumped out to a 3-0 lead with back-to-back goals by Liz Calby and a tally from Jaclyn Leto. Princeton (10-6) responded with three straight getting goals from senior Jaci Gassaway, junior Mary-Kate Sivilli and freshman Alexandra Bruno.
The teams traded goals within eight seconds to make it 4-4 midway through the first half.
Dartmouth scored twice to regain the lead but the Tigers closed out the half on a three-goal run as Princeton grabbed its first lead of the game 7-6.
The Big Green scored twice in the first three minutes of the second half to take back the lead 8-7.
Sophomore Erin McMunn tied it with a free-position goal five minutes later and sophomore Erin Slifer scored her second of the afternoon at 13:23 to give Princeton the 9-8 edge.
Bowers knotted it back up at 8:48. The teams traded goals within one minute of each other as the teams closed out the final five minutes in a 10-10 tie. Dartmouth held the ball for the final three minutes of the game not making a move offensively.
Junior Sarah Lloyd won the opening draw in overtime but after two minutes the Tigers overthrew a pass and turned the ball over. Time ran out before Dartmouth would clear midfield. Lloyd again won the next draw and Princeton called a timeout. The Tigers passed the ball around before Slifer went to goal but her shot with eight seconds left rang off the pipe setting up a second overtime.
Slifer won the next draw but had a costly turnover 30 seconds later. Junior Colleen Smith forced Bowers into a charge giving Princeton possession but an errant throw to clear the ball resulted in another Princeton turnover with 1:36 on the clock. Bowers received a free-position attempt with 1:22 and she converted it for the game winner.
Slifer was the leading scorer for the Tigers with two goals and three assists. Bruno had three goals and one assist. Gassaway tallied three points while McMunn had two. Junior goalie Caroline Franke was one save away from her career high, making 12 in the game as Dartmouth outshot Princeton 29-20.
Dartmouth had a 15-10 edge in draw controls, while Princeton won three more ground balls, 13-10.
Bowers had a six-point effort for the Big Green scoring five goals and assisting on one. Calby and Leto had two points apiece. Kristin Giovanniello made six saves in goal.
Dartmouth will face the winner of Penn/Cornell in the Ivy League Championship.
Princeton will learn its NCAA fate on Sunday, May 5 when the selection show is held at 9 p.m., on NCAA.com

Australian rip current researcher says staying calm key to survival
Published: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 2:30 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, July 13, 2013 at 3:36 a.m.
Word of four rip current deaths over the Fourth of July weekend at Brunswick County beaches reached Australia's self-proclaimed Dr. Rip, one of the country's leading rip current experts.
Are you a rip survivor?
Take Dr. Rip's 10-minute survey to help him better educate beachgoers about rip currents by basing his program on real stories at www.ripcurrentsurvey.com.
For more information on Dr. Rip, visit ScienceoftheSurf.com.
Dr. Rip's advice
If caught in a rip current, don't panic. Undertow is a myth as the rip cannot pull you under.
If you float with the current, usually you will be taken back to shore. About 80 percent of the time, rips move in circles.
If you move far past the sandbar, swim parallel to the coast until you can swim back.
Remain calm at all times and you should be fine.
Working for a decade to educate Australians about the dangers of rips, Robert Brander, aka Dr. Rip, a professor at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia, has focused his attention on making a difference in the United States.
The biggest challenge to rip current awareness, Brander says, is beachgoers and the media do not treat them with the respect they deserve.
"You get a shark bite and the beach closes down, it's in mainstream media," Brander said. "A couple people drown from rips and it barely makes the newspapers."
To combat this, Brander is trying to promote his YouTube videos, already with over half-a-million views, that describe how to spot and survive a rip current.
He's also spoken to more than 40,000 people about the dangers of rips and how to make it through one.
His highest priority though, is getting American survivors of rips to take his rip current survivor survey, an online questionnaire already taken by 1,500 Australians and 500 New Zealanders.
"The goal is to find out who is getting caught in rip currents, where they live, what they know about rips, what they tried to do to escape the rip, and how they got out of the rip," Brander said, in an email. "Based on this we can find out what sort of rip current information will work best for different groups of people so we can improve rip current education and awareness, and save lives."
Though he supports current education campaigns in the United States, including the Break the Grip of the Rip campaign at North Carolina beaches, Brander said there must be a change in the way vacationers approach the ocean.
Swimming near lifeguards is the surest way to be safe, Brander said, reinforcing recent comments from local and national lifeguards.
However, swimmers do not have anything to worry about if they get caught in a rip current, Brander said, if they stay calm, float with the current and head toward shore when they can.
In fact, research has shown rips flow in circles about 80 percent of the time, carrying swimmers it has captured back to shore if they do not fight the flow.
Panicking, he added, can make even the most educated swimmer forget his or her training. But most swimmers are not highly rip aware, indicating a need for more education, Brander said.
"There's no accounting for ignorance, lack of knowledge and lack of interest of beachgoers," Brander said, in an email. "People go on holiday to have a good time. Rips just aren't in people's psyche as something they need to be scared of or worried about, but they should be."

Essential oils are distilled from flowers and herbs. Added to a massage, they can increase the therapeutic benefits you came in for. When you inhale essential oil molecules, messages are transmitted to the limbic system and affect heart rate, stress level, blood pressure, breathing, memory, and the immune system. When added to a massage, they are also absorbed through the skin into the blood stream. Like healing herbs, each essential oil has different properties.
Here are our new offerings for the summer:
Baby Skin – A great combination with an exfoliation or esthetics treatment, geranium, rosewood and other soothing oils maintain skin elasticity, speeds healing after surgery, and moisturizes dry skin.
Tension Release – This blend of oils is excellent for the athlete, anyone with joint/bone pain or in muscle spasm. It has a "green minty" scent. Along with our "Tension Buster Massage", it can relieve a sinus or tension headache. It is anti-inflammatory and assists in sprains, swelling, muscles and joint discomfort.
Tranquility – Assists in reducing depression, eases anxiety, stress, and tension, balances and stabilizes the emotions, gives patience and calms worries. Grounding and integrates energy allowing us to visualize our goals and dreams. Citrus-y uplifting scent is a blend of orange, lime, ylang ylang, lavender, chamomile, and more.
Theraclear – This is a blend created specifically to increase the lymph system performance, or as a lymph detox. Designed with Essential Oils that are renowned to have lymph supporting properties, this blend also benefits the skin and overall well-being. Contains grapefruit, cypress, and juniper berry to rejuvenate a sluggish immune system.

Carl is a big bear of a guy who lives in our neighborhood, and one thing we could always count on was seeing him return from his daily morning swim — even in the middle of winter. Carl loved the beach so much he would regularly shovel wind-blown sand from the walkway that led over the dunes, leaving it clear and clean, clearly delineating where the wood path ended and paradise began. He would lean over his shovel, or pause after emerging towel clad and grinning from the water, to engage anybody in a conversation characterized by his easy demeanor and his joie de vivre. But the day after the decimation of our coastal community by Hurricane Sandy when people emerged from their homes to inspect the damage, a close friend gently teased Carl about whether he would take his morning ablution. He looked at her, and hollow-eyed replied, "I hate the ocean."
We live on a barrier island on the coastline of Long Island, in a town called Lido Beach that we thought relatively well protected from ocean storms by a colossal, pink, Moorish architectural structure called the Lido Towers. An upscale, six-story condominium, the towers began as a hotel in 1928 and survived the unnamed 1938 hurricane. But it could very well have come to the end of its useful life in 2012 and wrecked by the storm surge of a category-one hurricane during a full-moon high tide. Ultimately, of course, it couldn't shield us, and the ocean came down our streets, roaring like chest-high river rapids, delivering sea grass and salt water into the heart of our lives.
The day before the hurricane was due to hit land — anywhere, the experts said, between Delaware and Connecticut — my husband and I decided to evacuate 10 miles north, outside the projected flood zone of Long Island's south shore. We were welcomed into my sister-in-law's home and joined her husband and three children, not knowing of course, that this would be a haven for our family during the next five weeks. Three of my kids were in northeast colleges far enough away from the coast to be deemed safe; our high-school senior came with us unwillingly, convinced his parents were overreacting. The dog, more obedient, came with no protest.
In fact, it turned out that the dog was the most sensible animal in the house the night the storm hit. As eight of us crowded onto the tiny front porch to observe the jaw-dropping results of 90 mph gusts in the blacked-out, tree-lined neighborhood, he remained in the basement. Secure in his comfortable bed, his canine, instinctive wisdom trumped the thrill-seeking risks of his human companions.
It turned out that while we were standing on that front porch, our neighbors and friends back at the beach were beginning to experience abject terror. The first inking of what was to come came in the form of a friend's text to my son: two doors south of us, the ocean was in the house, rising to the level of the first step of the living-room staircase, which led to the second floor. Another text relayed the fact that the water was rising fast. Shortly after the level rose to the third step, communication stopped abruptly.
Increasingly spotty cell-phone service informed us that in addition to the tidal surge, part of our beach community was in flames, sparked as the flood water came into contact with car batteries and residential electrical panels. (Our nephew, a volunteer firefighter, was actively fighting to contain the blaze; a fact his mother was grateful to learn only after the fire was extinguished.) As we absorbed this news from the relative safety of our refuge, eerie flickering lit up the eastern and western sky. An oak came crashing down across the street, and in a shower of noisy sparks it destroyed a transformer. The sound of sirens permeated the wind and the rain, and the night became otherworldly, frighteningly primal.
We slept uneasily and awoke to a greatly abated storm, a greatly transformed landscape. Frantic to inspect our house, our community, our friends, our neighbors, we headed to Lido and encountered the remnants of an increasingly apocalyptic world the further south we traveled. No operating traffic lights. Trees down everywhere — across roads, embedded in the roofs of houses, straddling yards, with root ball diameters often eight feet across.

ZF-5565: Zend_Soap_Server - method handle() - only returns null by an non user error (error handling -> E_USER_ERROR)
Zend_Soap_Server line 730 (SVN):
set_error_handler(array($this, 'handlePhpErrors'), E_USER_ERROR);
Change "E_USER_ERROR" to "E_ALL" so that I will be able to throw an SoapFault when a server error occures. So I will be able to overwrite the function "handlePhpErrors" in my Class "Ms_Soap_Server" which extends "Zend_Soap_Server".
With these changes it will be possible to return a SoapFault with a message like "sorry, internal server error" when an error occures in a function of a service class (database connection error).
Otherwise it is impossible to register my own error-handler, because Zend_Soap_Server registers an error-handler on line 730 (SVN). set_error_handler(array($this, 'handlePhpErrors'), E_USER_ERROR);
the problem why we cannot set this to E_ALL is the following: The errors would by default be thrown to the userland code, which for SOAP Servers is a potential security leak.
What i am going to do is the following, i'll refactor the registering of the fault handler and move it into a protected method which can be overwritten more easily than the handle() function.
Added new protected method _initializeSoapErrorContext() that can be overwritten by userland code.

Ruling bodies see changes this month
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 5:10 p.m.
Early December marks a time of transition for governing bodies, whether they oversee governments or schools. The Davidson County Board of Commissioners and school boards say goodbye to departing members, some with long-term tenures, and welcome new ones, who either won elections or appointments (which is the case for the Lexington City Board of Education). The process began Monday for the commissioners and county school board. Next year municipal bodies will take their turn.
The commissioners gained one new member, Republican Steve Jarvis, and the county school board gained two, Vicki Trail and Phillip Walser Craver. The Lexington school board will gain two new members, appointed by the city council, in the near future. That means all three bodies retain a majority of experienced members. The veterans can help the newcomers learn the ropes and share what they've learned during their time of service.
But the newcomers' perspectives should be heard, too. They can provide new viewpoints that perhaps haven't been considered. They can raise questions about why certain policies exist or specific procedures are followed. They can even challenge the status quo and the "we've always done it that way" mentality that can sometimes seep in.
Those who are elected newcomers will find a transition from candidate to representative. Now, rather than seek to win votes, they must weigh the issues and make the best decision for their constituents. They also have to remember they represent a diverse group, including some who may not have supported their candidacy. Most have no trouble doing this, but it's an important point to remember as they begin their tenure.
Members, both the newly elected or appointed and returners, also need to remember their decisions have an impact locally. That seems a rather obvious statement, but sometimes it can be easy to pass a policy or law and not see the individual effect that can happen. Commissioners and school board members need to hear from a variety of interests as they consider these policies and decisions. In the end, they must vote according to their conviction, but they need to do so with as much knowledge as possible.
All those who serve deserve a word of thanks. It can be easy to sit back and criticize, but it takes someone willing to act on their convictions and seek office, with all that campaigning entails. Many folks continue to serve for years, sacrificing time they could be spending with family or pursuing other endeavors. Davidson County is fortunate to have governing bodies that usually run smoothly without any major shenanigans, too, which is a testimony to the quality of people who live here.

Amateur Photographer; I like to record with the camera that which i photograph with my eye. Sometimes I put my work on books which I either make for myself, or for friends, family and people who ask me to photograph their homes, gardens, events and such. Some of these are in the BLURB bookstore and make lovely coffee table books....

ZF-12448: Adding informing methods on Zend_Db_Select
Zend_Db_Select should have methods to inform some things about the query created so far, like I have a query and depending on some parameters it can add where clauses or join some tables to it, and I got to a point where i wanna know if I already concatenate something to the query before, it would be nice to have methods on the class that would inform that like something isTableJoined($tableName) returning a boolean
If you could sign the CLA (http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/…) and provide a patch, I'm happy to review it.

Vintage. A hip, cool term used to sell everything from fashion to cars to furniture. We love vintage. I love vintage. But who are we kidding? Vintage is just a nicer way of saying "old." So, with that in mind, I've decided to take some common sayings and replace the word "old" with "vintage" just to see how they sound:
If it's too loud, you're too vintage.
You're only as vintage as you feel.
I'm much too young to feel this damn vintage.
I'm getting too damn vintage for this shit.
(my apologies for the profanity in the previous 2, but the PG version just wasn't as funny)
Who you callin' vintage?
I have socks more vintage than you.
You're not getting vintage, you're getting better.
I'm 50 years vintage, thanks for asking.
Can you think of any other sayings that would be well suited to using "vintage" in place of "old"? Let me know!

Catholic schools, of every educational level, face many challenges to maintain their Catholic identity. Ironically, sometimes those challenges come from the members of their own faculty. Sometimes these individuals simply do not believe what the Church teaches or refuse to accept the demands of the moral law.
There's an old saying, "Nobody can give what he does not have." Catholic schools exist to impart the Catholic faith and to form strong disciples of Christ. If a faculty member objects to some particular demand of the faith, it makes no sense for them to be in a position in which they are expected to pass it on to our children. For the good of the Church and of the students, they should find another job.
Let us pray for strong Catholic schools and faculties.
–Fr. Frank

ZF-1167: consistency: addRole() adds a role, but there is not addResource()
To me, the presence of the method addRole(), and the lack of a corresponding method addResource() looks like an inconsistency. Given our past diligence to resolve inconsistencies, this issue can record a decision regarding this for future reference.
That´s what the add() method is there for, isn´t it? Is this issue only about the name or am I missing someting obvious?
This issue should have been fixed for the 1.5 release.
This doesn't appear to have been fixed in 1.5.0. Please update if this is not correct.
Let's decide if we think this is worth doing and fix or close down the issue as necessary.
Assigning to Ralph to get closure on this issues.
Method found in current rev 17577 of 1.9 branch, thanks for that. But now there is the inconsistency, that the other resource related methods has not their "Resource" suffix
- has() --> hasResource()
- remove() --> removeResource()
- removeAll() --> removeResourceAll()
- get() --> getResource()
I would also prefer to rename the "removeAll()" methods to "clear()" as ... they sounds strange ^^ - removeRoleAll() -> clearRoles() - removeResourceAll() -> clearResources() Just a suggestion

ZF-6470: Doc section zend.application.available-resources.session should mention dependency on Zend_Application_Resource_Db when using Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable
On http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/…
It would be nice to remind the reader to make sure that Zend_Application_Resource_Db is bootstrapped before Zend_Application_Resource_Session when the last is using Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable as its save handler.
Also and partially linked, I think the following lines need to be changed in the code example 4.6:
=> Below is a sample INI snippet showing how to configure the session resource. It sets several Zend_Session options, as well as configures a Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Db instance.
=> resources.session.saveHandler.class = "Zend_Session_SaveHandler_Db"
which should both read "Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable"
Many thanks
Note added, and _Db typos corrected, in trunk and 1.8 release branch.

Go Cyclones!
I thought we were slipping when I didn't see a game day thread first thing this morning. Good job for getting one started. Another opportunity to work out the bugs. Not the best time to be traveling, so the main thing is that they get there and back safely.
Why are we playing this team on the road?

1. A very winnable road game.
2. Close to Iowa.
3. KC has the one of the largest ISU alumni populations in the nation.
4. Help to get us in future CBE classic tourney's
5. Students are currently gone good time to play road games when home attendance won't be good.
Kyle S. Flander
7. UMKC will be coming to Hilton the next two years.
6. Because the Big 12 tournament has given this arena in particular the moniker "Hilton South".
5. Lots of ISU alums in KC
4. The travel record or ISU fans to KC for the Big 12 tournament.
3. An excuse for ISU fans from up north to get a warm-up at the P&L District before March.
2. The added bonus for those fans to see the Plaza Lights that are not on in March.
1. A good showing could go a long way with the CBE folks in inviting ISU to their pre-season tournament at the Sprint Center sometime in the future

Not quite correct. The game is being played at Municipal Auditorium which is home of the Women's Big 12 tournament. "Hilton South" is the nickname that has been most commonly applied to the Sprint Center (and formerly Kemper Arena) where men's Big 12 BB games are played.
Nice list.

How about a nice anniversary repeat?
Self proclaimed 2012 CF Newcomer of the Year
Fun Fact: Georges played AAU basketball through the 8th grade with UMKC player John Burke.
Where is the best place to park for the game tonight and how much does it cost?
I'll be there tonight. Looking for a blow-out CYCLONE WIN! GO STATE!
Early, I know, but anyone expect a Firstrowsports link for this one?

Quite right; the game threads have been a little lacking the last few games. Everyone should use this opportunity to get on their game before the conference season.
Let's hope the 'Clones kick the crap out of the Kangaroos.
"There are five real good recruits in the state. We got three of them. One couldnt get into school, and the other went to (the University of) Iowa...which is about the same thing." - Coach Johnny Orr
I'm happy this is on the road. Good for KC Cyclones, but more importantly, this team needs all the practice it can get away from Hilton Coliseum before conference season. Far from road dogs yet.
Municipal Auditorium, 301 West 13th Street, Kansas City, MO
This is where the game is at. I've heard that some ISU Alumni is just parking ($2) at Johnny's Bar (they have a parking garage below) and just walking over to the old Municipal. Just a couple of blocks away.
I'm actually downtown KC right now for work. I am close to The Quaff (Bar) on Broadway. I'm planning on hitting that before the game. It has an old Lumpy's - Cy's Roost feel for a bar.
Last edited by WalkingCY; 12-19-2012 at 10:52 AM.
There will be pre and post game events at Johnny's in P&L they will be having 1/2 apps for anyone with a ticket. It's about 3 or 4 blocks from Municipal and parking in the ramps there are $2.

Tis the season for limited edition holiday flavors, and that's all too clear from a stroll down any holiday aisle in your local grocery or drug store. While I fail to get excited about re-packaged Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or Hershey's Kisses, my interest was piqued when I found out that Chocolove released a special flavored bar for the holidays. I was lucky and picked one up when I was at the New York City Chocolate Show. I have been very eager to give it a try, but have been waiting until Thanksgiving was over so my festive review was more appropriately timed.
The bar, in typical Chocolove fashion, is decorated to look like a love letter. This one is unique, with an addition of a red ribbon and a picture of a present, so it feels like a present as well. The bar is described as "Fruits & Nuts in 55% Dark Chocolate". Looking at the ingredients list, I see that "pecans, currants, cherries, walnuts, hazelnuts, orange peel, and ginger" are listed on the back. Already it sounds enticing.
The flavor is of their nice dark chocolate. More importantly it's bittersweet, which is one of my favorites. You taste a strong presence of orange from the peel. There's an ever-changing flavor with each bite, as the bits of dried fruits and nuts really effect how the chocolate tastes. I got bites that were slightly more tart with one of the cherries or currants, or nuttier with some of the pecans, walnut or hazelnuts. There's a constant underlying spiciness that makes the bar feel very cozy and warm. It does evoke the holiday season very well, and it feels very fitting to be munching it as the events draw near.
I'm happy to got two of these bars. It's a shame that it'll be gone once the holidays are over, but it gives me something to look forward to next year.

Kathy Olivier served as head coach of the Bruins from May 3, 1993 to March 11, 2008. The former standout player at Cal State Fullerton and UNLV helped to produce two Pac-10 Players of the Year, three Pac-10 Freshmen of the Year, a Pac-10 team championship, a Pac-10 Tournament Championship and a trip to the Elite Eight. From 1998-2000, she guided UCLA to a school-best three-straight NCAA tournament appearances. In her last 11 seasons as head coach, Olivier guided the Bruins to seven top-four Pac-10 conference finishes, a total bettered by just one other conference foe.
Interest in UCLA women's basketball took off to new levels under Olivier. The only regular season crowds in Bruin history of over 7,000 fans came out to support the Bruins during her tenure. In fact, the top 15 regular season crowds in school history came with Olivier at the helm.
Recognized as a top-notch recruiter, she steadily built the program to reflect her own positive, upbeat and outgoing personality. In her 15 seasons as UCLA head coach, Olivier posted a 232-208 overall mark. Her teams favored a running game on offense, but defense was another Olivier strong point. Seven of the all-time school top 10 marks for lowest opponent field percentages belonged to Olivier-coached squads.
In 2008, forward Lindsey Pluimer was selected as the Pac-10 Scholar Athlete of the Year and earned honorable mention AP All-America honors, as well as first-team All-Pac-10 acclaim. UCLA's win over second-ranked Stanford marked the program's first win ever over an opponent ranked higher than fourth in the AP poll. On the season, the Bruins limited opponents to a .382 shooting percentage, third-lowest in school history. The opponent's scoring average of 66.3 points per game ranked as the fourth-lowest. In mid-season, UCLA limited nine straight opponents to 65 points or under in regulation time which was the longest such stretch in school history since the 1974-75 team held its first 21 opponents to 63 or less. The team played USC before 8,013 fans, the fourth-largest home crowd in Bruin history.
In 2007, Noelle Quinn became the first Bruin to total at least 1,700 points, 700 rebounds and 400 assists. Quinn, who earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors for a third season, finished her career ranked fourth on the all-time scoring list, eighth on the all-time rebound list and seventh on the assist list. Pluimer, who joined the 1,000-point, 500-rebound club, and Quinn each earned Academic All-District honors.
Olivier's 2006 squad finished the season strong, placing third in the Pac-10 regular season standings and then winning the Conference Tournament for the first time with wins on consecutive days over California, Arizona State and Stanford. The Arizona State victory gave Olivier her 200th career win. The Bruins advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament and finished with a 21-11 record. Olivier coached three AP and WBCA/Kodak honorable mention All-Americans in Quinn, Nikki Blue and Lisa Willis. The trio also earned first-team All-Pac-10 honors, Quinn and Willis' second and Blue's fourth, which made her just fifth four-time first-team All-Pac-10 selection in conference history. Blue became the first Bruin player to lead the Pac-10 in assists, while Willis, the Pac-10 Tournament MVP, led the league in steals for the third-straight season. Quinn ranked third in the Pac-10 in scoring and second in rebounding. UCLA's 10-2 record in Pauley Pavilion (.833) was the highest home court winning percentage posted by a Bruin team since the 1980-81 squad went 15-2 (.882).
In 2005, Blue garnered her third straight first-team All-Pac-10 honors, and Willis earned first-team recognition for the initial time. However, the Bruins lost Quinn, the leading scorer and rebounder at the time, to a knee injury midway through the season and finished sixth in the Pac-10 after posting non-conference wins over then-No. 4 ranked Texas and then-No. 14 Purdue. Quinn earned honorable mention all-conference, and Pluimer was named to the all-conference freshman team. The team set a school record for free throw shooting percentage (.717) and allowed opponents what was then the fourth-lowest shooting percentage in school history (.400).
In 2004, Olivier's Bruins earned a NCAA Tournament berth and finished with a 17-13 overall record and a third-place Pac-10 finish. The team boasted the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year, Quinn, and a pair of All-Conference performers in Quinn and Blue. A third player, Willis, earned honorable mention all-conference honors after leading the league in steals and made three-point shots. The Bruin team surrendered just 63.8 points per game, the third-lowest opponent scoring mark ever. The team played its final home game of the season, a win over USC, before 8,094 fans, the third-largest crowd in school history.
Olivier led the 2003 Bruins to 12 conference victories, a total surpassed by only two other seasons in UCLA history. The 12 wins included five on the road, a total bettered by only one other school that season. Her team set a then school record for free throw shooting (.716), and Blue became just the seventh freshman player in conference history to be named to the first-team All-Pac-10 team. Michelle Greco joined Natalie Williams and Rehema Stephens as Bruins who have led the Pac-10 in scoring in multiple seasons.
In 2002, Olivier guided a team which lost its two leading scorers during the season to the quarterfinal round of the Pac-10 tournament. The team finished with what was then the sixth-best defensive shooting percentage in school history at .413. In 2001, she guided a team which was playing without eight of its top nine scorers from the previous season to a winning record at home in Pac-10 play and to wins over two nationally-ranked opponents. Greco became the fourth Bruin to lead the Pac-10 in scoring and was named first-team all-conference.
Olivier's 2000 squad earned a NCAA Tournament berth for the third straight year and set a home attendance mark with an average of over 3,700 fans. The team battled injuries and a schedule which saw them tangle with three of the eventual Final Four teams and two others which advanced to the Elite Eight. Maylana Martin became the second-leading scorer in Bruin history during the year, and Janae Hubbard and Marie Philman each became members of the 1,000-point club. Martin also became just the third player in Pac-10 history ever to be named to the all-conference team for four-straight seasons.
In 1999, Olivier guided her team to the school's first-ever Pac-10 Conference championship and a best-ever Elite Eight finish in the NCAA tournament. A 26-8 record marked UCLA's first back-to-back 20-win seasons since a three-peat in the 1977-79 campaigns. The 26 wins were the most by a Bruin team since the 1981 squad went 29-7 and the third-highest in school annuls. The team set a school and conference record for shooting percentage in a game (.695) and went on to shoot .476 for the season, the best mark since 1984. The final ranking of No. 7 in the nation was the highest ever for a UCLA team in the USA Today coaches poll and the best finish in any poll since a similar ranking in the Associated Press poll in 1981. Olivier created such a positive buzz around her team that an all-time school record crowd of 9,530 was on hand for the home win over USC.
In 1998, she directed a Bruin team which featured two Pac-10 Freshmen of the Year to the school's best-ever conference finish at the time (second, 14-4) and the best winning percentage (20-9, .690) in 17 seasons. It was the first 20-win season for a Bruin team since its last NCAA team won 21 in 1992. The season also marked the first time a Bruin team had been ranked in the regular season Associated Press poll for more than a week's time since 1982-83.
Martin, the Pac-10 Freshman of the Year in 1997 and the Pac-10 Player of the Year in 1999, became just the third Bruin to score a total of over 1,000 career points after just two years. LaCresha Flannigan, 1996 Pac-10 Freshman of the Year Erica Gomez and Martin each earned first-team all-conference honors in 1999. In addition to these fine players, as an assistant coach, Olivier had been instrumental in landing All-Everything two-sport standout Natalie Williams, recognized as the Pac-10's Athlete of the Decade in a 1996 vote of conference officials. Williams also brought home a gold medal as a member of the USA Women's Basketball team in 2000 in Sydney, Australia.
The dynamic Bruin coach originally joined the UCLA staff in the summer of 1986. In her seven seasons as an assistant, the team enjoyed five winning years and reached the NCAA Tournament in two of the final four years. In 1991-92, the Bruins compiled a record of 21-10 and advanced to the NCAA Sweet 16.
Olivier began her coaching career at her alma mater, UNLV, as a graduate assistant in 1981-82. Following one season at UC Irvine (1982-83), she was hired at USC and was on the Trojan staff for three years (1983-84 through 1985-86) as an assistant. USC, led by sophomore Cheryl Miller, won the NCAA title in Olivier's first year (1984) and reached the championship game in her third season (1986).
The former Kathy Ricks, Olivier was a standout player at Cal State Fullerton and then at UNLV. As a freshman (1977-78) at CSF, she averaged 15.6 points and 9.2 rebounds her first season and raised her scoring average to 19.3 as a sophomore. As a junior (1979-80) at UNLV, she earned All-America honors while averaging a team-high 16.3 points and 5.7 rebounds. In her final year (1980-81), she led the Rebels in scoring (20.2) and ranked second in rebounding (9.2). Olivier played high school basketball at Valencia HS in Placentia, CA.
Olivier comes from an accomplished athletic family. Her sister Mary Ricks played on UCLA's national championship softball teams in 1984 and 1985, and her brother Tom Ricks played on USC's baseball team from 1975-77. Olivier coached her daughter Alexis in 2007 and 2008.

Tigers Head To Rider For County Showdown Saturday; Match To Be Streamed
TWITTER: PRINCETON WRESTLING l PRINCETON ATHLETICS
The Princeton wrestling team will look for its first dual win of the season Saturday afternoon when it heads to Alumni Gym in nearby Lawrenceville to take on the Rider Broncs. The match can be seen live on GoPrincetonTigers.TV (click link above; subscription required).
Princeton struggled through a loaded field at the 2012 Northeast Duals last weekend, but it is hoping that the potential return of a upperweight duo could signal a turnaround for the Tigers. Head coach Chris Ayres is hopeful that junior co-captain Dan Santoro (184/197) and freshman Cole Lampman (285) could both make their season debuts this weekend.
Should Lampman wrestle, Princeton could be sending five freshmen to the mat against Rider, which earned a 29-10 victory over the Tigers last year in Dillon Gym. The other four have competed in multiple weekends already this season, and Scott Gibbons (184/197) leads the team with 10 wins already this season.
Princeton also got a lift last weekend from junior Ryan Callahan, who won twice in his 2012-13 season debut. The former New Jersey state champion was one of four Tigers to earn at least one win at the Duals, and each of the other three are projected to start this weekend. Included in that group is two-time EIWA placewinner Zach Bintliff (149), who is 6-4 on the season.
Rider is 2-0 this season, and the Broncs have been led by junior Ramon Santiago, who is ranked 15th nationally at 165 pounds. Senior Zac Cibula (157) leads Rider with 12 wins this season, while 184-pound sophomore Clint Morrison has eight wins this season. Morrison and Gibbons have already wrestled twice this year; Morrison won 3-2 in the first match, while Gibbons registered a first-period pin in the rematch.

Producer, engineer, and percussionist Amon (Turntables on the Hudson) leads the Analog Players Society, a collective and community of musicians rooted at The Hook Studio in Brooklyn, NY. Judging from their music, vibrance is at the helm. Today, the collective releases their Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 7″ projects, both of which you can stream tracks from below!
We particularly fancy the rework of the 1986 hit song "I Can't Wait" by Nu Shooz featuring the magnificent Cecilia Stalin (Koop) over a full horn section
Free for download is Vince Guaraldi's classic "Christmas Time Is Here." Enjoy!
Watch their performance at Southpaw after the jump.
