This is a rich, moist white cake with great flavor, perfect for decorating. I made a double recipe and baked it in two 9" layer pans. I thought the amount of salt was extraordinary, so I cut it back by half and was pleased with the results. I frosted it with Decorator Frosting I, also from this site. I reserved some of the frosting and folded in strawberry preserves for a strawberry buttercream filling. Delicious, beautiful, and elegant cake.
This recipe was fantastic. After reading the other reviews that said the cake was dense, I added a little extra baking powder. It turned out, light, airy, and full of creamy vanilla flavor. A definite make-again recipe!
I have a very similar recipe from my very very old (thrift store purchase) cookbook called the Settlement Cookbook (lots of really cool old and now unusual recipes) That recipe calls for 1 cup of sugar, cake flour instead of regular flour, and just a pinch of salt. Make those substitions and this cake is very light, moist, and just the right amount of sweetness. Also the bake time was 375 degrees for just 25 minutes (time was right on for my oven but check yours before 25 to be sure.)

STILLWATER — How fast is fast? Oklahoma State University football fans, you're about to find out.
So much has been made this spring about how new offensive coordinator Mike Yurcich's offense runs at a pace that's fast enough to blow the decals off their opponents' helmets. Now, it's time for the Cowboys to show it, as they end the spring season with the football finale.
"I'm not going to lie, it's a lot faster than when coach (Dana) Holgorsen was here," Oklahoma State receiver Tracy Moore said.
This won't be the first time Oklahoma State's offense will be tested this spring. The Cowboys have already been through a couple of scrimmages this spring. Still, nothing compares to performing in front of the 60,000 fans that will likely pack Boone Pickens Stadium at 1:30 p.m. today for the finale.
"We have to go out and play," Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said. "There are officials. We have noise and the coaches stay off to the side on a normal day, so they get quality work, but I think with the fans there and the lights on, it will make a difference in the approach of our athletes and how they play the game."
"I'm looking forward to our guys getting out there, having fun, playing with excitement and feeling the joy of the game day experience," Yurcich said. "Even though it's not really gameday, we're going to try to simulate it as much as possible."
That means running the ball, quick screens and short passes — something Cowboy fans will be see a lot of in the coming season.
"It's just unbelievable how fast it goes," Oklahoma State offensive lineman Parker Graham said. "A lot of us feel like we were conditioned to play in the last offense we had, and then this one is like, 'Oh my gosh, it's even faster than the last one,' if that's even possible."
For Yurcich — who will be calling plays from the coaches' box as opposed to on the sideline — today won't necessarily be about speed. Instead, it will be more about accuracy and evaluating the plays already in place.
"We've simulated game time several times throughout this spring, so I think we have a firm grasp of how fast we're going and the tempo," Yurcich said. "This Saturday won't be the only opportunity to evaluate that. We've been evaluating ourselves along the whole process this spring.
"There's not too much that you can take away from this game that we don't already know. I think the first 14 practices really showed us a lot of things. This game is more about getting out there and trying to execute some of the base concepts that we have."
Gundy said he would like to play a 60-minute game for the finale, hoping to get about a hundred plays in. But because of the lack of depth on the offensive line, he will likely shorten the finale to about 50 or 60 plays.
"We'd like to play a 60-minute game, somewhere in the neighborhood of 80-90 plays, but we're going to run the clock a little bit more than in a normal game because we don't have the numbers to compete on that many plays," Gundy said. "... It's a lot of fun and we look forward to it. Our goal is to get 50-60 plays out of the game."
The good news about the quickened game? With Yurcich's fast-paced offense the scrimmage will likely be over before the tailgating food gets cold — something Yurcich said he's most excited about.
"They say the tailgating food around here is pretty good," Yurcich said. "I wouldn't mind getting some barbecue."
Will a leftover burger or hot dog be in Yurcich's future? A lot of that may depend on how his offense performs. But one thing is certain. Yurcich made it very clear that whether or not the Cowboys do live up to their pre-spring hype, this game was a reward for both players and fans.
"We want to have fun with it," Yurcich said. "We want to make sure that first of all, our players are having fun with it and they're having a good time with it. They've worked hard this offseason and now this is a time to step out to the field and really enjoy as much as we can simulate game day atmosphere.

I would like to add to Fred Slocum's letter by saying that Republicans don't really care about the deficit that much.
A case in point: While every other time in our nation's history, war has been met with tax increases, the Bush administration actually cut taxes during the time he made two wars. The result was catastrophic budget deficits.
Republicans like to mouth their concern about deficits, but their actions belie that. Instead, experience has shown that Republicans support a military and police state at the expense of all programs and other help to poor and middle-class people. After all, why would the poor care about police and military? They don't change their life style or give them opportunity, except to die for their country/community.
I think it is time a progressive tax be reinstated in the state and nation to ensure the rich pay their share and show the appropriate homage to a country and community that gave them the opportunities for their prosperity. They did not accomplish what they did in a vacuum.
It is actually the selfish and greedy rich who are the actual "takers" in our society. When I hear a rich person say they "built" something, I cringe. No, they actually paid for it. It was the poor and middle-class that actually built it. And when it comes to the defense of our nation, it is the poor and middle-class that have done that too. It is actually the poor and middle-classes that are the "makers" and the rich that are the "takers. It's just that the rich are too used to "over the top" flattery.

All Things Pass (Timothy Leary)
All things pass
A sunrise does not last all morning
All things pass
A cloudburst does not last all day
All things pass
Nor a sunset all night
But Earth… sky… thunder…
wind… fire… lake…
mountain… water…
These always change
And if these do not last
Do man's visions last?
Do man's illusions?
During the session
Take things as they come
All things pass
Welcome to Tuesday…
Working on the site all day Monday, and wanted to share some Art, Poetry, and Writings of Import…
First off, the art is very special for this edition, from one of my favourite Artist, Martina Hoffmann. I have followed her works for many years and I am very pleased that she has allowed Turfing to publish her excellent paintings. I am very stoked about this painting: "Vitreous Ovum".( next painting just scroll down) I saw it for the first time when I was putting this edition together. I need to get a print of this if it is available. I love it, oh I do.
This is the first of three editions of Turfing that will deal with various takes on Psychedelia, including art. We will be featuring contemporary artist as well. With the current state of the world, we need all the allies we can get. The Pharmacratic Inquisition has set its sights on Salvia Divinorum as the next, "Evil Plant". Stay tuned for info on saving this plant from the long arms…

The Application of Yoga Meditation Techniques
to the Use of Psychedelic Sacraments
by Sri Brahmarishi Narad
June 1967
The following article originally appeared as an uncopyrighted set of mimeographed sheets sometime during the late 1960′s, which was freely distributed on a limited basis, probably in San Francisco. Feel free to make copies of this article and to distribute them to those interested to keep this information alive, otherwise it will disappear into antiquity.
It was also published in the San Francisco Oracle # 8, pg 11, June 1967.
The fact that psychedelic drugs induce a greater sensitivity to subtle spiritual and psychic energies, and speed up the influx of impressions from deeper levels of consciousness, raises the immediate question of how these energies can be properly understood and handled. Obviously, if these energies are not guided, they can do more harm than good. The application of traditional Yoga meditation techniques while under psychedelic experiences, provides a constructive solution to this problem.
According to Yoga philosophy, the most spiritual and powerful aspect of man's nature is the faculty of attention or consciousness. The most fundamental aspect of man's free will is the choice as to what he allows his attention to dwell upon. The attention always has to be on something, but we can choose what we allow it to dwell upon.
The goal of all Yoga practices is to discover and directly experience what the attention or faculty of consciousness in man is. The yogi seeks to know that principle by which all else is known. This goal is achieved by observing the observer or placing the attention on the attention itself. This may at first seem very abstract and hard to grasp in terms of practical application, but there are workable, time-proven methods for achieving this state of pure consciousness which when consistently applied and practiced are bound to yield results.
It should be constantly remembered during a psychedelic session that whatever perceptions, thoughts and even hallucinations occur, they are all the creations of one's own mind and consciousness, and are filtered through one's own instrument of perception. These perceptions are patternings of our own psychic energy. We give energy to whatever thoughts and feelings we allow the attention to dwell upon. Wherever the power of attention is focused, it generates mental and emotional energy in the form of its own lower overtones, thus feeding and energizing the thoughts and emotions which the attention dwells upon. It becomes clear that the key to remaining in control of a psychedelic experience is in controlling the flow of attention. Distractive experiences can be avoided in the first place, and the flow of attention can be properly directed by the use of Raja Yoga techniques of meditation. The following is a description of several such techniques which can all be applied while under the influence of LSD, marijuana, mescaline, DMT, hashish, psilocybin or other consciousness-expanding drugs.
At this point, let us consider a basic rule to apply in case of paranoia or other unpleasant or frightening experiences while under the influence of a psychedelic drug. Realize that whatever you may be thinking, feeling or experiencing is being experienced by the consciousness within you. Then place your undivided attention on that consciousness which is experiencing whatever is happening to you. This process returns your consciousness to its own pure nature and disengages mental and astral thought forms. These destructive thought forms then dissipate and are dissolved back into the homogeneous, vibrational energy of the plane of energy substance from which they were originally molded. The strong light released by consciousness observing itself, helps to quickly dissolve and dissipate destructive thought forms. This happens because the strong lower overtones of pure consciousness which are generated, cancel out the discordant, out of phase vibrations of destructive thought forms.
If the attention wanders while practicing any of these meditation techniques, immediately bring the attention back to the process of meditation, and do this as many times as is necessary until the attention remains centered on the particular form of meditation which you are practicing. Inexperienced meditators have a tendency to fight distractions, which in itself, becomes a distraction. The attention can only dwell on one thing at a time. Simply bring it back to the thing you are meditating on.
Another way of stopping distractions is simply to temporarily suspend the breathing process by neither breathing in or out. Since breathing is intimately tied to every biological process in the body, the instinct to survive (developed over billions of years of evolution) will interrupt the flow of attention into distractions and bring it to center on the awareness of the cessation of breathing. It is then an easy matter to resume normal breathing and to center the attention on the particular form of meditation being practiced.
Sound Current Meditation
Focus your full, undivided attention in the center of your brain where the pineal gland is located. Listen with your attention for whatever sounds present themselves. After awhile, you will hear sounds of various tones and pitches. At first, you may only hear the low hiss of random molecular noise in the ears, but in time, definite tones will present themselves like sustained notes on an organ. This sound is perceived directly by the brain and the subtle bodies themselves, and not through the outer physical organs of the ears. It is the sound of the vibration of conscious energy as it flows through the physical body and as it vibrates and circulates within the subtle bodies.
You should focus your entire undivided attention on the sound of highest pitch that you can hear, and let it draw you up into higher and higher states of consciousness; also let the sound reveal and intensify the spiritual light. The better your concentration is, the louder and more distinct the sound will become.
Experience the vibration of this sound expanding until it includes your whole head, your whole body, and ever-expanding volumes of space surrounding you. By this means, you will tune into the music of the spheres, and your whole being will become a receiver and transmitter of the harmonious rhythm of the universe. When you open your eyes after such a meditation, you may find your surroundings filled with blazing light.
In the beginning, the sound current may appear in one localized part of the head; most likely in one of the ears. You should not listen to the sound current in the left ear because this is psychically harmful. Listen to it in the right ear, and gradually try to move it to the center and top of the brain. From this vertex center, known as the Sahasraram Chakra (whose associated gland is the pineal body), allow the vibration of the sound current to fill the entire head and to then expand beyond the head into the surrounding space. This is one of the classical methods and can lead to the highest type of experience.
Meditation on the Light in the Head
To practice this form of meditation, close your eyes, and observe your inner field of vision by focusing the attention at the point in the center of the forehead, just slightly above the point between the eyebrows. This location is called the Third Eye Center or Agna Chakra. It is related to the faculty of clairvoyant vision. The physical manifestation or anchorage point for the Agna Chakra is the pituitary gland, which is located in a bony cradle in back of the root of the nose.
When you close your eyes, look steadily into your inner field of vision until light, color and patterns begin to appear. (This is looking with your attention and not with the physical eyes which should remain relaxed.) When most people close their eyes, initially they see a black void, but by looking steadily into this void, various colors and patterns will begin to appear. When this happens, simply observe them with your full, undivided attention as if you were intently watching a movie. Then periodically focus all of your attention within the smallest point that you can see in the center of your field of vision, and pierce through that point. After you have done this, the light will again blaze forth from the point in a new burst of energy, and you will find yourself at a higher rate of vibration or plane of energy. With continued practice of this form of meditation, you will become immersed in a blazing sea of light; and you will become a center from which that spiritual power is radiated.
By concentrating the attention in the Sahasraram Chakra or Thousand-Petalled Lotus, located at the top of the head, an experienced meditator can release an even more powerful radiation of light and spiritual energy. (It may take more work to activate this chakra; the beginner can get more immediate results by looking through the Agna Chakra or Third Eye Center.) The Sahasraram Wheel is the highest chakra; called the "Doorway to the Infinite" and the Brahmarandra or Hole of Brahma, it is the most powerful and spiritual of all the centers that can be awakened in man (with the possible exception of the Heart Chakra which is considered by some yogis to be of equal importance). When the Sahasraram Chakra is fully activated in a perfected yogin or saint, the white fire of Cosmic Kundalini descends upon him and blends with his own rising kundalini force, and the white light of spirituality radiates for miles around.
Meditation on the Chakras
By focusing the attention on various locations within the body, where the chakras are located, it is possible to activate these chakras and facilitate an increased flow of energy between the higher planes of energy and the subtle body, thus releasing an increased amount of spiritual energy. There are seven major chakras in the body which link together the physical body and the subtle energy bodies.
The chakras are revolving vortexes of energy which act as mechanisms for the absorption and radiation of spiritual energy. In the physical body, they relate to glands and major nerve centers. In the etheric body, they are like wheels with flower petals which are created by a sort of stroboscopic effect of the revolving energy. The etheric chakra flowers are connected by a sort of funnel-like stem to the gland or nerve plexus to which they belong. In the astral body, the chakras appear as whirlpools of energy, like the eddies in a stream of water or in a basin of water when the stopper is pulled out. In the mental body, they appear as converging lines of light.
The Muladora Chakra is at the base of the spine and is the seat of the Kundalini Fire Wheel when aroused, which in the advanced stages of yoga, rises up through the center of the spine and activates the highest chakra in the cerebral cortex called the Sahasraram Chakra.
The next chakra is called the Sacral Center or the Swadisthana Chakra. It relates to the adrenal glands and is related to the absorption of pranic vitality, which is in the air. The air absorbs this energy from solar radiation. There seems to be some differences of opinion between various texts as to whether the Muladora Chakra or Swadisthana Chakra relates most directly to the sexual functions.
After the Swadisthana Chakra, comes the Manipara or Solar Plexus Center which relates to the digestive functions and vitality of the astral desires and feeling emotions.
Next in ascending order is the Anahala or Heart Chakra, which relates to the source of spiritual energy and the higher emotions of love, altruism and benevolence.
The next chakra is the Vishudha or Throat Chakra, which is related to the thyroid gland and has to do with the power of speech and relates to mantra yoga and the capacity for artistic creativity. This center is activated by chanting and singing.
Next we have the Agna Chakra, which is located on the forehead, just slightly above and between the eyebrows. It is related to the pituitary gland and the subcortical areas of the brain. The Agna Chakra has to do with the higher mind faculties of clairvoyance, scientific reasoning, willing and philosophical thought. Development of the chakra awakens the ability to see and regulate astral and mental forces on the superphysical level.
Above the Agna is the Sahasraram Chakra or Thousand-Petalled Lotus, which is related to the pineal gland and the cerebral cortex. It's located at the top of the head. It relates to the sound current and the faculty of clairvoyant hearing, and is the most spiritual of all the chakras. When this chakra is fully developed, union with God-consciousness is possible, and Illumination takes place.
By focusing the attention in any one of the chakras, the lower overtones of the concentration of consciousness in that location activates that chakra and increases the energy flow in it, making possible a conscious entry into the superphysical planes of energy. Meditation on the first three chakras, namely the Muladora Chakra, the Sacral Chakra and the Solar Plexus Chakra is not recommended because this can arouse lower emotions and sexual passions. This can allow entry to undesirable astral influences and cause psychological unbalance. It is better to work with the Heart Center, the Agna Chakra, and the Sahasraram Chakra because these are the most directly related to the unfoldment of superconsciousness; and when awakened, will automatically develop the lower chakras by changing the glandular balance of the body and by circulating new pranic forces through the energy channels or nodies of the etheric body as well as purifying and strengthening the astral and mental bodies.
(A Meeting Of Remarkable Women)
The hormones which the pituitary gland secretes, regulates the other glands in the body including the thymus gland, the thyroid gland, the adrenal gland and the sex glands as well as other glands. Once the pituitary gland is fully activated by the development of the Agna Chakra, all other glands are brought into proper chemical balance, thus helping to properly develop and raise the vibratory rate of all the lower chakras.
In Kundalini Yoga, an advanced yoga practice, concentration is done on the Muladora Chakra at the base of the spine in order to arouse the Kundalini Fire and bring it through the center of the spine to activate the highest chakra, the Sahasraram, at the top of the head. If however, the Kundalini Fire is prematurely aroused and not properly directed, great damage can be done to the nervous system and to the etheric body. If the Kundalini force is not properly directed upwards, it can revert downward causing abnormal sexual desire and perversion. Therefore, arousing the Kundalini should only be done in advanced stages of yoga when a great deal of purification of the subtle bodies has taken place and soul control over the personality is well established.
The Combination of Mantra Yoga and Meditation
When doing Om chanting or other mantras, it is possible to activate various chakras. By chanting at varying pitches, you will make different tissues in the body vibrate, thus stimulating the nerve centers and the glandular centers, and activating the chakras associated with them. With a bit of experimentation, you will find which tones or pitches vibrate which parts of the body and which chakras. When this has been ascertained, then chant with full force while meditating in the chakra you wish to activate.
The sound waves create vibration patterns in the etheric, astral and mental atmosphere, which you can develop the ability to see. They are multicolored and very intricate and beautiful, sometimes forming geometrical patterns and mandalas made out of threads of light. Music will have a similar effect. Just listen to the music during a psychedelic session while observing the inner light through the Agna Chakra or Third Eye Center. Then watch the color patterns change and develop with the music. Classical music and Indian ragas are especially good for this purpose.
Meditation on the I Am Principle
In the practice of this form of meditation, consciousness is made to dwell upon itself. When properly and successfully practiced, this is the most powerful and highest form of meditation. While focusing in the Heart Chakra or in the Sahasraram Chakra at the crown of the head, place the attention on the attention itself. If any distractions come in the form of thoughts and perceptions of a specific nature, then immediately concentrate your attention upon that consciousness in you which is the experiencer of those thoughts and perceptions. Even the manifestation of spiritual light and sound current should be regarded in this way. The sound current and the light are merely the lower overtone manifestations of the pure consciousness upon which you are meditating. The more you hold your attention steady in concentration upon itself, the more the light, sound current, electrical sensations in the body, feelings of magnetic force, sensations of weightlessness, etc. will manifest automatically. If, however, you allow your attention to become distracted by any of these manifestations, then you will be subject to the limitations of the thing by which you have been distracted; and the focusing of pure consciousness will be interrupted so that all of the things which are the lower overtones and by-products of the focusing of pure consciousness, possibly including the psychic manifestation which distracted your attention, will also stop. Seek ye first the kingdom of pure consciousness and all of these other psychic manifestations will be added unto you.
Placing the attention on the attention itself can be done in any location in space since pure consciousness, which is the same as God, is an omnipresent principle. In the beginning, it will be found easiest to do this in one of the chakras, preferably the Heart Chakra or the Sahasraram or Head Center. The Agna Chakra or Third Eye Center located on the brow, can also be used with good results, but it is better to use the Sahasraram Chakra if you can activate it.
With practice of this form of meditation, your pure consciousness will experience itself as a blazing sea of white light extending infinitely in every direction. The pure consciousness itself is crystalline and colorless, but it generates the white light which is the simultaneous presence of all of the colors which are the specific lower overtone rates of vibration, which the pure consciousness generates.
The placing of the attention on the attention itself in a specific chakra, brings about a condition in that chakra, in which its vibration structure is harmonically and geometrically aligned in all of its planes of manifestation or rates of vibration. This creates common node points in the inner plane structure of the chakra. Vibrations of different frequencies and different wavelengths all begin and end together at these common node points. This is made possible by the fact that the wavelengths of the various vibrations and their frequencies all bear exact mathematical rates to each other, like the notes in a musical scale. Any vibrations which are out of phase in terms of their spatial distribution or vibratory rates are automatically canceled out by interfering with other waves at the common node points. Where several wavelengths, both short and long, begin and end their cycles together, it is possible to slip through the dimensions and to experience the higher spiritual rates of vibration and approach the Atman, which moves with infinite speed. At these common node points, the exchange of energy from one octave or plane to another, also becomes possible, allowing a flow of energy from the higher dimensions into the lower dimensions. Thus, a transmutation of those vibration patterns which exist on the lower dimensions into the higher ones becomes possible. The soul is then able to control the personality structure, making it a fit instrument of spiritual expression in the affairs of men. This form of meditation develops one-pointed concentration.
(Trance Mutation)
Since the use of psychedelic drugs stimulates the flow of a great amount of energy from higher planes into the lower planes, any thought and emotion patterns created during a psychedelic session are strongly imprinted and have a great deal of energy incorporated into their vibration structure. These thought and emotional patterns then act as powerful unconscious conditioning factors in our daily lives. It is therefore of the utmost importance that constructive imprints are made during a psychedelic session. Remaining in control of the attention can ensure this.
In this regard, I would like to give a few final points of advice. Try not to focus the attention from one thing to another too quickly. Stay with a thought or meditation process until it is complete. Don't panic if frightening visions or hallucinations occur. Fear will make you concentrate on them all the more and thus feed them with the power of your attention. Remain detached and place your attention on that consciousness within you which is experiencing the hallucinations. Remember at all times that God exists in you in the form of your own power of attention and that power when properly directed, will control all lesser forces.
It is believed by some researchers that psychedelic drugs stimulate the secretion process of the pineal and pituitary glands, which are known by yogis and occultists to be related to the Sahasraram and Agna chakras (which are also called the Thousand-Petalled Lotus and the Third Eye Center). This stimulation increases the flow of energy between the etheric body and the physical body. It may be that psychedelic drugs place the cells of the physical body under stress so that they must speed up their activity to overcome the stress. When the cells increase their activity, their vibratory rates increase, thus putting them harmonically in resonance with the higher rates of vibration on the subtle superphysical planes of energy. This process makes possible the expression of a higher level of consciousness through the glandular system, brain and nervous system.
The increased physical cellular activity requires more work and activity in the etheric body to sustain the stepped-up activity of the physical body. The vibratory rate of the etheric body is thus accelerated, requiring an increased activity in the astral body to sustain and remain harmonically in tune with the etheric body. The increased vibratory rate of the astral body requires a stepped-up activity and increased vibratory rate in the mental body. This in turn more fully tunes the mental body in to the power, love and wisdom of the soul. Thus an alignment of the whole being on all planes is facilitated, and a more rapid exchange of pattern imprints and energy between the various octaves or planes of energy takes place.
It may also be that psychedelic drugs have a chemical structure such that they are perfectly in resonance with the lower overtones of certain key frequencies in the higher planes and can therefore act as a point of entry for the reflection of these vibrations in the physical body. They would therefore help to create common node points in the vibration structure of several different dimensions.
Not only is the love, wisdom and power of the soul brought to bare in the life of the personality, but the fine organization of the physical body, the etheric, astral and mental bodies, which have been produced by the evolutionary process, are harmonically reflected and preserved in the soul. While the physical body is the least permanent, the densest and composed of the substance of the lowest plane, it is in terms of evolution, the newest and most highly organized in terms of structure. Therefore, a complete replica of it made out of the energy substance of the subtle planes, is an evolutionary gain for the soul and subtle bodies. When the physical body is sufficiently vivified by the influx of energy from the higher dimensions, it begins to create higher overtone reflections of itself in the akasha or energy substance of the higher planes, and thus its pattern is preserved and made immortal.
Therefore, when properly used, psychedelic drugs help to speed up the evolutionary process. When man has evolved to superman, he will, under the direction of the superconscious mind in accordance with God's will as it manifests in evolution, take an active part in the molding and directing of the evolution of the mineral, vegetable, and animal kingdoms. Even today, his vibrations intimately affect for good or bad, those kingdoms in nature.
Ancient Egyptian Poetry
I hear thy voice, O turtle dove-
The dawn is all aglow-
Weary am I with love, with love,
Oh, whither shall I go?
Not so, O beauteous bird above,
Is joy to be denied….
For I have found my dear, my love;
And I am by his side.
We wander forth, and hand in hand
Through flowery ways we go-
I am the fairest in the land,
For he has called me so.
With sickness faint and weary
All day in bed I'll lie;
My friends will gather near me
And she'll with them come nigh.
She'll put to shame the doctors
Who'll ponder over me,
For she alone, my loved one,
Knows well my malady.
Egyptian Love Poetry, c. 2000 – 1100 BCE
I. Your love has penetrated all within me
Like honey plunged into water,
Like an odor which penetrates spices,
As when one mixes juice in… ……
Nevertheless you run to seek your sister,
Like the steed upon the battlefield,
As the warrior rolls along on the spokes of his wheels.
For heaven makes your love
Like the advance of flames in straw,
And its longing like the downward swoop of a hawk.
II. Disturbed is the condition of my pool.
The mouth of my sister is a rosebud.
Her breast is a perfume.
Her arm is a…………bough
Which offers a delusive seat.
Her forehead is a snare of meryu-wood.
I am a wild goose, a hunted one,
My gaze is at your hair,
At a bait under the trap
That is to catch me.
III. Is my heart not softened by your love-longing for me?
My dogfoot-(fruit) which excites your passions
Not will I allow it
To depart from me.
Although cudgeled even to the "Guard of the overflow,"
To Syria, with shebod-rods and clubs,
To Kush, with palm-rods,
To the highlands, with switches
To the lowlands, with twigs,
Never will I listen to their counsel
To abandon longing.
IV. The voice of the wild goose cries,
Where she has seized their bait,
But your love holds me back,
I am unable to liberate her.
I must, then, take home my net!
What shall I say to my mother,
To whom formerly I came each day
Loaded down with fowls?
I shall not set the snares today
For your love has caught me.
V. The wild goose flies up and soars,
She sinks down upon the net.
The birds cry in flocks,
But I hasten homeward,
Since I care for your love alone.
My heart yearns for your breast,
I cannot sunder myself from your attractions.
VI. Thou beautiful one! My heart's desire is
To procure for you your food as your husband,
My arm resting upon your arm.
You have changed me by your love.
Thus say I in my heart,
In my soul, at my prayers:
"I lack my commander tonight,
I am as one dwelling in a tomb."
Be you but in health and strength,
Then the nearness of your countenance
Sheds delight, by reason of your well-being,
Over a heart, which seeks you with longing.
VII. The voice of the dove calls,
It says: "The earth is bright."
What have I to do outside?
Stop, thou birdling! You chide me!
I have found my brother in his bed,
My heart is glad beyond all measure.
We each say:
"I will not tear myself away."
My hand is in his hand.
I wander together with him
To every beautiful place.
He makes me the first of maidens,
Nor does he grieve my heart.
VIII. Sa'am plants are in it,
In the presence of which one feels oneself uplifted!
I am your darling sister,
I am to you like a bit of land,
With each shrub of grateful fragrance.
Lovely is the water-conduit in it,
Which your hand has dug,
While the north wind cooled us.
A beautiful place to wander,
Your hand in my hand,
My soul inspired
My heart in bliss,
Because we go together.
New wine it is, to hear your voice;
I live for hearing it.
To see you with each look,
Is better than eating and drinking.
IX. Ta-'a-ti-plants are in it!
I take your garlands away,
When you come home drunk,
And when you are lying in your bed
When I touch your feet,
And children are in your……….
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
I rise up rejoicing in the morning
Your nearness means to me health and strength.

The Rivanna Water and Sewer Authority is one step closer to proceeding with an additional water supply for our area.
At the July 25 meeting an amendment to the engineering contract to work on the water supply was approved. Officials expect to move forward with the project over the next 6 months.
By February, the Authority will submit the Ragged Mountain water supply option and an alternative for the state's approval. But, Officials said most of the community is in support of the option they have chosen.
"With the idea of the Ragged Mountain concept with a South Fork pipeline, there seems to be a lot of agreement in this community from the feedback that I'm getting that we are moving in a common direction, which I think is wonderful," said Tom Frederick.
There will be two public outreach meetings in late October and January before it is submitted to the state in February.

ST. LOUIS -- Brrrr. Greetings from Section 313 here at Busch Stadium for tonight's World Series opener between the Cards and Rangers. I like the setup here. They have us in a bunch of suites down the right-field line (I'm in the Stan Musial Room. ... cool). You can go inside to watch the game on TV, where the Internet isn't really working, or sit outside where there's ethernet cables and they work perfectly (memo to the Sabres and all teams -- hard-wire your press areas, please).
I'll be providing plenty of thoughts as the night goes on but please understand we're also working on the print product on some tight deadlines. It's an intriguing matchup but you wonder how both teams are going to deal with this weather. It's freezing and the wind is blowing hard. Looks like it's swirling all over the place and not really heading in one direction.
We're going to have the anthems shortly (check the pic). Here's tonight's lineups:
Rangers: Kinsler, 2b: Andrus, ss; Hamilton, cf; Young, 1b; Beltre, 3b; Cruz, rf; Napoli, c; Murphy, lf; Wilson, p
Cardinals: Furcal, ss; Jay, cf; Pujols, 1b; Holliday, lf; Berkman, rf; Freese, 3b; Molina, c; Punto, 2b; Carpenter, p.
Keep it here for updates from the opener. The coldest Game One was 41 degrees in Baltimore in 1979. We're going to be close. Yeesh.
---Mike Harrrington
Top-1st: The first pitch from Carpenter to Kinsler, a ball, came at 7:06 CT and the temperature is a frosty 48 degrees. The Rangers are retired thanks to some great defense, something that was not a Cardinal hallmark for much of the season. Kinsler opened with a single that hopped past Freese at third (should have been scored an error), but Molina threw him out trying to steal. Andrus was then retired on a great play by Carpenter, who bellyflopped to catch Pujols' throw while covering the bag and had the presence of mind to pull in his pitching hand to his body so Andrus wouldn't step on it on the way by. Hamilton then grounded to short.
Mid-2nd: We stay scoreless as Carpenter makes another great pitch in the clutch, a 93-mph sinker to Napoli that turns into a routine 6-4-3 double play that kills a first-and-second rally. Beltre got it started with a double past Freese at third, who looks like he's stuck in the mud. A guy with name should be able to play fine in the cold, right?
Bottom-2nd: Earlier today, it seemed MLB had nixed the idea of Dirk Nowitzki throwing a first pitch in Texas due to the NBA lockout. Come on, that's silly. He's the FIRST guy I would think should be doing that in Dallas this year. Well, it seems Bud Selig stepped in and Dirk will be throwing this weekend according to this ESPNDallas.com story. Good call, Commish. The game remains scoreless.
End-3rd: I accept the best wishes from a good friend of the blog, longtime Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston. Our man Livy penned this piece that gives you a good idea of what it's like for columnists at the World Series. I saw Sully have a few of these meltdowns in his day (think Game One in 2000, when the Mets blew a ninth-inning lead at Yankee Stadium and lost in the 12th. Sully was apoplectic). We're scoreless through three, the Rangers have two hits and Punto's third-inning single was the Cardinals' first. Carpenter has thrown 42 pitches Wilson has thrown 40. Both have thrown 23 strikes.
End-4th: The Cardinals make the first breakthrough and it makes sense since Wilson has been living on the edge far more than Carpenter, who has retired seven straight. Wilson hit Pujols with a bouncing slider in the dirt and Holliday drove a double to the corner in right that sent the obviously hobbled Pujols into third (barely). Berkman then drove a fastball to right (right) for a two-run single to give St. Louis the lead. What a season Berkman has had as the NL Comeback Player of the Year. He looked done last year with the Yankees. Now he has a $12 million deal for 2012. Cards lead, 2-0.
Mid-5th: The Rangers come right back as Beltre leads off with a single and, one out later, Napoli pummels an outside sinker that tailed back over the plate deep into the seats in right. A no-doubter. Looked like about a dozen rows up. Big momentum boost for the Rangers to answer the Cardinals' run and big downer for Carpenter to give his lead right back. Game tied, 2-2.
End-6th: My fingers are frozen. I had to relocate inside. Didn't pack gloves for this trip. Never figured they'd be needed. My bad. Anyway, both starting pitchers are out. The Cardinals pinch hit for Carpenter with two out and man on the corners, sending Allen Craig to the plate. Rangers manager Ron Washington immediately yanked Wilson for Alexi Ogando but Craig lined one past the glove of Cruz for an RBI single. Good thing Cruz blocked it with his leg on a dive or it would have rolled all the way to the wall. Furcal then took Cruz to the wall in right for the final out that was nearly a three-run homer. Cards lead, 3-2.
Final lines: Wilson 5 2/3 IP, 4 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 6 BB, 4 K, 94 pitches, 50 strikes
Carpenter 6-5-2-2-1-4-87/49
End-7th: Still 3-2. Love the Clydesdale video with the Budweiser ditty they play here on the board. A signature like "Deep in the Heart of Texas" is in Arlington.
It's over: Like I said earlier, print work has to come first and the game got over so quickly that I got way behind on my story. Blame the St. Louis bullpen, which retired the final eight Texas hitters in order to finish up a 3-2 win. Cardinals lead the series, 1-0.
Game Two is Thursday night at 8:05.

MILLEDGEVILLE — Hundreds of central Georgia students will bring their research to life at the Regional Science and Engineering fair this weekend at Georgia College's Centennial Center.
Kindergartners to high students will compete from 10 counties: Baldwin, Bibb, Hancock, Jasper, Jones, Putnam, Monroe, Washington, Wilkinson and Twiggs.
"Participants learn how to communicate about things that interest them in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields," said Dr. Rosalie Richards, director of the Science Education Center.
Projects range from finding out which duck tape is strongest to Mentos explosions and measuring the speed of light using egg whites.
The top ranking middle and high school projects will move on to the State Science and Engineering Fair in Athens, and the Best in Show high school winners will advance to the international competition in Phoenix, Ariz. later this year.
The students will also compete in the Parachute Design Challenge, where they will have 45 minutes to design and construct a parachute out of materials provided.
"This is just one avenue where students can see the importance of STEM to life, education and the economy," said Richards.
More than 200 Georgia College students and faculty as well as area scientists, engineers and educators will volunteer for the event and serve as judges.
"We want the fair to give students firsthand experience of how scientists and engineers communicate their findings and advance their fields," said Richards. "Who knows? This could open a door to furthering their STEM education and a career."

It is 70 years in the future- chocolate and coffee are illegal, paper is rare, water is rationed and New York City is full of crime and poverty. Anya's life is almost normal (she goes to school, tends to her grandmother and siblings) despite everything until her ex boyfriend is poisoned by the chocolate her family makes. She finds herself in the spotlight--at school, in the news, and most importantly, within her mafia family. I loved this suspenseful fantasy very much. Of course, the title also reminded me of one of my favorite Killers' songs of the same title.
ANOTHER Shakespeare movie?! Yes, indeed! And this one is directed by Joss Whedon, of Marvel Avenger's, Serenity, Dr. Horrible's Sing-along Blog, and Toy Story fame. He is a multi-talented guy who writes scripts and comic books as well as directs. Some of his more notable comic books include Astonishing X-Men, Runaways, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Angel: After the Fall.
So why Shakespeare? Why not!? Much Ado About Nothing, written over 400 years ago, is one of Shakespeare's most beloved comedies -- offering up lively humor, intersperced with thoughtful meditations on politics, honor and the nature of shame. Plus, no one dies! Yay!
Whedon's take on Much Ado is shot in a very arty black and white which renders up each face in loving, graphic detail; perfectly complimenting the slamming wit of our beloved bard.

From the book:
"After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one."
It is a sad fact that illegal drugs are readily available in our society. Here are some books that look at this controversial issue:

And what begins as a wild ecstatic ride turns into a struggle through hell for her mind, her soul - her life.
Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley: Cullen's summer in Lily, Arkansas, is marked by his cousin's death by overdose, an alleged spotting of a woodpecker thought to be extinct, failed romances, and his younger brother's sudden disappearance.

Out of Reach by Carrie Arcos: Accompanied by her brother's friend, Tyler, sixteen-year-old Rachel ventures through San Diego and nearby areas seeking her brother, eighteen-year-old Micah, a methamphetamine addict who ran away from home.
Hole in my Life by Jack Gantos: Gantos relates how, as a young adult, he experimented with drugs and smuggling. He was arrested, did time in prison, and eventually got out and went to college, all the while hoping to become a writer.

OpenLogic Moves To Help Prevent License Lawsuits
Until just over two years ago, the General Public License, the all-pervasive Open Source license used by tens of thousands of Open Source projects, had never been the subject of a violation lawsuit — not once in its eighteen year history. September 2007 brought an end to that, unleashing a flurry of lawsuits against some of the biggest names in technology, a flurry that is still underway. In an effort to end the violations — and the litigation that comes with them — one company has officially launched its own resource for Open Source compliance.
While meeting the terms of a specific Open Source license may not be particularly difficult — many bear fairly light obligations — the task of making that compliance happen in a corporate environment is not necessarily as easy. The sheer number of available licenses under which Open Source software is available is by itself enough to make one's head spin.
Beyond that is the reality of the corporate sphere — the left hand does not always know what the right hand is doing, much less what the myriad of divisions, departments, and development centers are up to. Though it tends to be ascribed to malice — and no doubt, some is the result of it — it is far from improbable for license violations to slide through the development process on blindness alone. (Hanlon's Razor perhaps puts it best: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.") How, then, will this blindness come to an end?
OpenLogic, a commercial venture that provides Open Source-based services aimed at enterprise customers, and well known for founding the Open Source Census — thinks it has an answer. Though the effort — christened the Open Source Fulfillment Center — has been underway for some time, it was officially launched on Thursday, just days after the latest, and largest to date, round of license-violation suits was announced. OpenLogic executives cited the newly-filed litigation as a prime reason for companies distributing Open Source software as part of their product offerings to avail themselves of the Center's services.
According to OpenLogic, the center will offer three sets of services:
- Advisory and Planning: OpenLogic offers its customers advice on the development of the processes and procedures needed to comply with the open source licenses, including distribution of source code. This includes a review of proposed processes by outside legal counsel with expertise on open source licensing.
- Application Audit and License Analysis: OpenLogic's experts use a variety of tools to scan and analyze software and identify any embedded open source code. OpenLogic provides its customers with a warranted and indemnified report of open source software and licenses, the relevant license obligations, potential license conflicts and a "compliance checklist".
- Fulfillment: In order to comply with the terms of the GPL, companies must offer the open source code to its customers. This can be challenging with many consumer products where the open source software is embedded in the product. OpenLogic's Open Source Fulfillment Center includes an online web site (created and hosted by OpenLogic) where customers can download the appropriate open source code as well as a physical fulfillment option.
In addition to stressing the importance of complying with the letter of Open Source licenses, company representatives highlighted the need for companies to understand the licenses themselves. Said attorney Jason Haislmaier: "This week's copyright infringement lawsuit...underscores the importance of understanding and complying with all the open source software embedded in your products."
Additional information on the Center and its offerings is expected in January.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Abram Brown, Forbes Staff
I write about people who build businesses.
Best Buy will shift toward mobile-phone sales and smaller stores in an effort to boost sagging revenue. Best Buy's signature big box stores will be dialed back, and 50 will close in 2012, the company said this morning.
The world's largest consumer-electronics retailer will test the new store models in San Antonio, Texas and St. Paul, Minn. The renovation would reduce store square footage by 20%, and should be finished by next Christmas. These new so-called "Connected Stores" will focus on selling cell phones, tablet computers and e-readers, as well as service plans not offered by Amazon and Wal-Mart. Best Buy employees in these new stores are expected to show customers how to connect electronics in the home.
Meanwhile, Best Buy will open another 100 smaller mobile-only stores in fiscal 2013. By 2016, the retailer expects to operate some 600 to 800 mobile-only stores, up from 305 today.
Further the retailer plans to cut $800 million from its budget by fiscal 2015, including some $250 million in the next fiscal year. Much of that will come from changes to its supply chain and domestic retail stores. But the final $200 million will involve cutting 400 corporate jobs.
"We intend to invest some of these cost savings into offering new and improved customer experiences and competitive prices — which will help drive revenue," CEO Brian Dunn says in a statement. "And, over time, we expect some of the savings will fall to the bottom line."
Best Buy shares plunged as much as 8% during today's trading. The stock closed down nearly 7% at $24.76.
Best Buy is locked in a tight race for customers. It must battle both big box rivals, such as Wal-Mart and Target, and younger Web retailers—those from the Amazon.com and eBay generation. Its mammoth stores have essentially become labyrinthine showrooms: Customers go to to see a product, and can quickly use a smartphone to find a cheaper price online. This has led to six straight quarterly declines at stores open at least 14 months, including a 2.4% dip in same-store sales last quarter.
"They just seem to be fighting a losing battle," says Brian Sozzi, NBG Productions chief equities analyst. "Ten years down the line, I don't know what they're going to look. Or if they're even going to be around. Because this could be snowball."
Critics say there's a burial plot already dug for Best Buy. And it's right next to Circuit City. In 2009, Circuit City, then the second largest consumer-electronics chain, collapsed after failed innovation attempts. "What differentiates Best Buy from Circuit City? They're the same company wrapped in different colors," Sozzi says.
Wall Street seems to agree. Since Circuit City's liquidation in January 2009, Best Buy shares have dropped 7.8%, wiping out about $3 billion in market cap. In that time, the S&P 500 index is up 60.8%.
Just 50? Why not close them all and get it over with?
Sad to see them go. When ever I have extra cash I like to wander around these stores and pick up random items that peek my interest
It is not the death of big box stores in general. It is the death of big box stores that have a poor selection of crappy products, staffed by uncaring employees who know little about what they are selling. Apple has shown that retail stores with quality products can be successful. I believe that people want the immediate gratification of getting a product NOW, but turn to online sellers when retailers cannot meet that desire.
I will be VERY surprised if Best Buy is still operating stores through Christmas, 2012. Their selections are decreasing, their service is awful and online ordering is sketchy, at best. The only press I have seen has been negative and their prices can easily be beaten EVERYWHERE! Can you say "Circuit City" or "CompUSA"?!
Good article regarding the big box model as I wonder the same thing about other retailers. BTW St. Paul is in Minnesota not Minneapolis – Minneapolis is a city.
There are several issues that creating smaller stores alone are not going to solve.
Shifting your product focus to tablets and phones is not going to help.
Non-existent customer service is the problem. The pople hired have little if any knowledge about the products they sell, but that assumes you can get help. Like most retailers they do not offer a reasonable wage to get someone with skills and instead try to keep wages low. I have had to wait two or three customers deep to get help and that is not acceptable.
It is also a sad day when the store will not price match THEIR OWN WEBSITE. Cheaper online at BestBuy.Com, standing in the store? No problem buy it from your phone and then get in line at 'customer service" to pick it up, with their site to store. However, why should I have to jump through hoops to make a purchase. It irrates me, makes no sense and it irrates the employees in the store who are not ready when I show up at the counter within 5 minutes of placing the order.
Lastly, making a return is an experience one can only be compared to water boarding. The line is always long, only one person is available and to top it off, you are treated as if you are a common criminal as they pull apart the box piece by piece and inetrriogate you. I have never been treated like this at any other chain store.
Then Best Buy has the audacity to wonder why sales fall and I would rather go somewhere else? Perhaps their executives should pry their butt out a chair and shop their own store. I would rather scan a barcode and get the other retailer to match the Best Buy price and not spend an afternoon trying to make a purchase.
There is a fundamental truism at work for vendors like Best Buy that are selling largely undifferentiated offerings.
"Customers will not pay literally a penny more than the true value of the product," in the words of Ron Johnson, J. C. Penney's new CEO, and the driving force behind Apple Stores.
That means one of two things. Either learn to live within the sub 2% margin zone of Amazon, or find ways to achieve differentiation.
It seems that the "small boxing" move by Best Buy is a recognition that they can't meaningfully differentiate; therefore, they are targeting the convenience of immediacy, which can't support 50K square foot stores (it will be same story with Barnes & Noble).
FWIW, here is some further analysis on the strategic pose that retailers need to adopt to survive in the age of 'showrooming.'
Retail needs a reboot to survive
Check it out, if interested.
Mr. Brown, 99% of businesses are all going out of business gradually… for BBY however… it's not happening anytime soon… BBY trades at a super-low p/e… being dumped on by everyone…. pays a nice dividend… makes about $1.5 billion a year or $3.50/eps diluted… aggressively buying back shares…. etc… as long as BestBuy's Board of Directors stays the course of emphasizing profitable lines; reducing floor space; discontinuing the poorly performing overseas operations; paying a dividend; staying profitable; and continuing to buy back shares, etc… I think BBY easily gets back to $35+.
This is the beginning of the end for Best Buy. They're retrenching now, like so many failed big box stores of the past. Home electronics are an ideal type of product to purchase online and that is where the market is driving sales. We'll probably see a bankruptcy of Best Buy in early 2013.
This was obvious thing to happen. Because Best Buy did not do any thing to update itself with the time. To be honest Best Buy seems lazy on innovations and transformation. Look at the young companies like Amazon and Ebay? They came from behind and kicked Best Buy out of the market. Despite its large retail stores, Best Buy could not develop a new product in its name. I do not surprise if companies like Best Buy, Target, Walmart, Fry's and others fail. They sell some body's products instead of developing their own brand products while they sale others' too.

No. 5: "Hot Rod Lincoln" by Charlie Ryan
"Hot Rod Lincoln" has been recorded by several artists, but was originally written by Charlie Ryan and released in 1955. The song is about a race between a Lincoln and a Cadillac and is considered a classic among hot rod and drag racing culture.
Ryan, who owned a real hot rod that was built from a 1948 12-cylinder Lincoln chassis shortened two feet and with a 1930 Ford Model A body, actually recorded the song twice. His 1959 version, recorded as Charlie Ryan and The Timberline Riders, is probably the better known of the two.
The song also found fame in versions recorded by Johnny Bond in 1960 and Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen in 1975, which climbed to No. 9 on the Billboard charts.
Best lyrics:
My pappy said, "Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln
No. 4: "Let Me Ride" by Dr. Dre
Just like their rocker counterparts, rappers have an affinity for automobiles.
On his landmark 1992 album "The Chronic," considered one of the most influential in the history of rap and hip hop, Dr. Dre documented rap culture's love of the low rider on "Let Me Ride." It also didn't hurt that the chorus features a sweet funkadelic sample from George Clinton and Parliament.
The video featured Dr. Dre cruising around L.A in his "six fo'," -- a 1964 Chevy -- and making the front end of his car jump up a down with hydraulics by "hittin' the switches."
Best lyrics:
Back in the days, when I used to have to get my stroll on
Did nobody wanna speak
Now everybody
Peeping out they window when they hear me beatin' up the street
Is it Dre?
Is it Dre?
That's what they say
Every single day in L.A
No. 3: "Radar Love" by Golden Earring
In 2005, the BBC car show "Top Gear" named "Radar Love" the second greatest driving song of all time. But it and "Highway Star" were the only songs on the top five list that were actually about driving.
It's easy to guess that many speeding tickets have been received by drivers over the years because of this song. Everything about it makes you want to drive fast, from its opening lines -- "I've been driving all night, my hand's wet on the wheel" -- to its rising tempo, methodic bass lines and easy-to-sing-along-with chorus.
Best lyrics:
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming on Strong"
The road's got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise

Oakley Kicks Off Global Media Week
Each year at this time Oakley pulls together from all our offices to welcome global media to showcase our up coming product lines, provide education, discuss our methods and do a little bit of partying. This year "Global Media Week" is taking place in the Lower East Side (LES) of Manhattan, NY.
Oakley Takes Silver, Bronze at Women's Ski Slopestyle
No matter how much the world of event organizers says "yes" to it, Mother Nature doesn't want to stop saying "no." Today's Women's slope took place under gray skies, well, in gray skies, to be more exact. A thick fog ruined visibility throughout the event, and a heavy mix of rain and snow slowed made clearing the tabletops in the course very difficult for all of the field, impossible for some.
Salt Lake City REVTour Goes Big
Salt Lake city, UT locals were out in force tonight at the Oakley RevTour. Last year's party was the place to be and everyone who didn't make it had this date on their calendars for months. And his year's crowd was bigger and more stoked to check out the custom goggle bar. It was amazing to see how the community got together and celebrated the winter season. SLC knows how to get it done!

---The Bonnies appear loose and carefree, apparently because they've heaped all the pressure on Florida State.
"Florida State is supposed to win,'' Bonnies coach Mark Schmidt said. "They got the pressure on them. Going into the Atlantic 10 Tournament, we weren't supposed to win that. I think when you go out there and play like it's a pickup game, you have a better chance. You don't have that monkey on your back. We've got some good players that play well together but when you play loose, you have a better chance. That's not to say we're going to win, but no one has expected us to be here.''
The Bonnies are currently six-point underdogs.
