With the core of those teams back this season, Florida cruised to a Southeastern Conference regular-season title and 26-7 record. But for Florida senior guard Kenny Boynton, there's unfinished business.
"We want to go out as winners," Boynton said. "Our goal is to get to the national championship and win it, nothing less than that."
The third-seeded Gators will begin that quest at 7:27 p.m. Friday against No. 14 seed Northwestern State. Florida enters the game as a 20½-point favorite and has not lost to a seed lower than 12 during the Donovan era.
But the Gators are wary of the problems Northwestern State presents. The up-tempo Demons lead the NCAA in scoring at 81 points per game, while forcing 17 turnovers per game.
"We have a target on us being the No. 3 seed and being the experienced team that we are," Florida senior guard Mike Rosario said. "We feel like that we've got to come out, just aggressive, and just be the Florida Gators."
Donovan said he understands his team's Final Four-or-bust mentality. As a senior at Providence in 1987, he remembered that goal after appearing in just one NIT in his first three seasons.
"Every kid who gets into this tournament, that's a dream," Donovan said. "I just think those guys may have been a little bit more outspoken. I think if you checked with Northwestern State or Illinois or UCLA or Minnesota, I think that's every kid's dream.
"I think they are also mature enough and understand that the most important thing right now is what's in front of us today, because tomorrow in this tournament is never guaranteed or promised."
Florida is beginning what it hopes to be a Texas two-step to the Final Four in Atlanta. If the Gators can get by their first two games in Austin, they will move on to Arlington, Texas, for the NCAA South Region semifinals and finals.
To make that run, Florida will need to get back to moving, sharing and taking care of the basketball. Florida's assist-to-turnover ratio is 63 to 63 in its six March games.
Florida has had four players reach double figures in scoring just twice in its last nine games. In its first 24 games, the Gators had four or more scorers reach double figures 12 times.
"You know, 20 assists per game is a big margin, but we're capable of doing it," Rosario said. "I feel like that when we put ourselves in that situation of getting 20 assists per game and less turnovers, we can be a really, really good team."
Given UF's recent history, another deep run is possible. Florida is just 5-4 in its last nine games, but the Gators also struggled coming into the 2012 NCAA Tournament. Florida had lost four of five going into its regional in Omaha and was a No. 7 seed before its Elite Eight run.
In last season's Elite Eight, Florida was unable to hold an 11-point lead in a 72-68 loss to Louisville. Those issues with close losses and blown leads have carried over into this season. Florida is 0-6 in games decided by six points and failed to hold double-digit leads in losses to Arizona, Missouri and Mississippi.
"It's been a recurring theme of us not finishing big games, of having a lead and not finishing those games," Florida junior center Patric Young said. "That's driven us this whole season. We still struggle with that a little bit, but I think we should finally understand what it takes to get it done."
A deeper run is possible if Florida can solve those issues in close games.
"We're a veteran team, but last year is last year," Boynton said. "We can't dwell on the past. But right now, it's a new season. We learned from our mistakes from last year. We're ready to make another run in the tournament."

Understanding Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is certainly something we need. It provides safety from crime, visibility on roadways, and comfort when walking at night. But more and more lights are being used improperly and with little thought to address human needs and the effect upon night sky quality.
When you can see a light from far away or from above, it is probably a bad light. Poor quality outdoor lights do more than just spoil the view of the stars: they can confuse and harm wildlife, cause light trespass, waste energy, create glare, and actually reduce nighttime visibility. Bad lights often cost less to purchase and install, but end up costing much more in the lifetime of the fixture. There is also growing concern that nighttime lighting can adversely affect human health (International Dark-Sky Association, 2009).
What Makes a Light Beneficial?
Good lighting allows us to meet all the basic needs of lighting (safety, security, visibility, comfort) while having very little negative impact. Good fixtures direct all the light where it is needed and do not scatter it wastefully into the night or through a neighbor's window. Good lighting incorporates modern, high performance optics that aim light in a defined pattern to reduce glare and light pollution.
Energy Efficiency
Night sky friendly lighting can go hand in hand with energy-efficient lighting. In fact, far more energy can be saved by employing night sky friendly principles than by simply using a more efficient light bulb. Likewise, just making a light more energy efficient does not necessarily make it night sky friendly.
Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting is rapidly becoming popular and has many potential benefits. LED lighting can be easily dimmed and linked to smart controls. For example, the lights may brighten as you approach and dim as you pass on by. LEDs can also be precisely aimed, resulting in less glare and better visibility. However, the appeal of LED lighting would be harmful to the environment if it resulted in many unnecessary lights being installed outdoors. Additionally, LED lights that are rich in blue light (cool-white LEDs or those with a color temperature greater than about 3500 degrees Kelvin) can result in greater impact to starry skies and ecosystems (International Dark-Sky Association, 2010).
Principles of Night Sky Friendly Lighting
- Use outdoor lights only where you need it.
- Use light only when you need it by using timers, motion sensors, and advanced controls.
- Shield lights so that all light is directed downward, below the horizon.
- Use lamps with warmer colors; avoid cool-white lights.
- Use the minimum amount of light necessary for the task.
- Use the most energy-efficient lamp and light fixture.

Artisans in India mimic traditional embroidery patterns by using wax-resist batik to create an ivory-hued design along the neckline, hem, and sleeves of this cotton-knit tunic. Butterflies also decorate the navy and turquoise tie-dyed background. Clear sequins add sparkle to a casual split-V-neck, 3/4-sleeve design.
Women's sizes S (4–6), M (8–10), L (12–14), XL (16–18).
100% cotton. Made in India.
The wax-resist dyeing technique of batik has been found from Egypt to Mali and from India to Malaysia, as early as 2,000 years ago.
The most traditional form of batik begins with a needle-like object called a canting, through which melted wax flows as the artists uses it to draw a design or pattern on fabric. When the fabric is placed in a dye vat, the color will not permeate the areas that have been permeated with wax. For more complex patterns, this wax and dye process can be repeated with any number of dye colors. After the final dip into the dye vat, the fabric is hung to dry and the wax is dissolved in a solvent or melted away with a hot iron, revealing the previous layers of protected fabric as well as the crackling lines that are the hallmark of batik.
In the 20th century, Javanese batik artists developed a process by which batik could be executed more quickly, but still by hand. Now, a copper block is often used to transfer wax in a predetermined pattern over a larger area.

Revenues maybe down but towns are ready to signup for 2012
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
According to the DenverPost, Colorado towns are ready to signup for 2012 of USA Pro Cycling Challenge despite that according to some the race did not provide the revenue impact they were wanting.
Who is telling the truth here? First off, the fans didn't show up to the race on zero budget but at the same time I doubt many got a hotel room for the night or dined in Aspen. Measuring success is a statistics game, if this race were run by the Tourism Board like the Tour of Missouri(a) was, then this would have no doubt been a HUGELY successful race as it got the attention of people from around the nation thinking about making a Colorado vacation but if you are only measuring success on a 2 day window and $$ are the only goal and hotel bookings or restaurants tabs are your primary view of success then ya, this could have been a flop.
Let you be the judge and try to be objective on our poll. Was the US Pro Cycling Challenge a success or failure for Colorado towns that hosted?

All I can say is my family
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
All I can say is my family spent several hundred dollars in host cities and we had a blast. We are looking into condos in Crested Butte, and we will be heading back to Steamboat for mountain biking trips next summer. I had no idea Steamboat was such a fun and active town. In the past we have stuck to Winter Park for family trips and now I'm realizing Colorado has much more to offer.

I didn't drop much cash in any town because I slept in a tent and at friend's houses, but I'd never been to Steamboat or seen that part of the state. I now plan on returning to all of the host cities with my wife and kids because I want to share the sights I saw with them. When I do, I'll be renting/dining.

Financial Impact
Submitted by Buzz (not verified) on
Quite frankly, asking fans if an event was a success for host towns is really asking the wrong person - we're fans - we loved it, and we want to see it come back.
Pro cycling routes follow the money. That's all they do or can do. It's a really fun sport, and it's really bloated, so they go where the local Chamber of Commerce can pay the $$$ to put up the whole entourage.
Boulder was talked about during the whole Tour - it seems an obvious host - and the mere thought of a stage finishing up Flagstaff is enthralling - but isn't likely to happen, because OSMP would never allow it and the city won't cough up the dough.
I suggest you email the City Manager of each of this years host towns and ask them this same question! Get some real answers instead of worthless opinions (like this one ;-)
Points: 17
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
I could be wrong, but I believe the reason Boulder wasn't chose (or one reason) was because there was a shortage of hotel rooms. Apparently there is another convention going on, which chewed up a majority of the hotel space.

CLEVELAND (August 10, 2010) – The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum will unveil its latest exhibit devoted to the King of Rock and Roll as a part of the Museum's 15th anniversary celebration this September. ELVIS 1956: Photographs by Alfred Wertheimer will open to the public on Monday, September 13, in the Circular Gallery of the Main Exhibit Hall. Taken during the year Elvis turned 21, Alfred Wertheimer's photographs are a remarkable visual record of a defining time for rock and roll's most enduring figure.
1956 was the year Elvis first appeared in the national consciousness. His RCA records and national broadcast helped make him a star. Alfred Wertheimer, then a young freelance photojournalist, was there to document the extraordinary transition.
ELVIS 1956 is the first and last unguarded look at Elvis, featuring images of him in every aspect of his life—from performance and with the fans, to the recording studio and at home with his family. On stage and off, Elvis defined the notion of "rock style." His electrifying synthesis of rhythm and blues, gospel, and country bridged traditional divides between white and black, urban and rural. For tens of millions of fans, Elvis transformed the beat of everyday life. His music and style helped launch a cultural revolution.
In addition, the Rock Hall has on display nearly 30 new artifacts on loan from the Graceland Archives and are located next to the photography exhibit. Highlights include:
· Shirt and belt Presley wore for performance rehearsals in 1970. Seen on the poster for the film Elvis: That's the Way It Is.
· Hand-painted poster for Presley's February 1955 performance in Memphis.
· Presley's 1974 Grammy Award for Best Inspirational Performance for "How Great Thou Art," the handwritten set list and jumpsuit from the show where the performance was recorded.
· Proclamation from the City of Memphis declaring February 25, 1961 to be Elvis Presley Day .
· A 1974 Guild acoustic guitar used by in concert by Presley in 1976.
Tune in to SIRIUS XM's Elvis Radio, SIRIUS channel 13 and XM channel 18, on Tuesday, August 10 at 12 p.m. ET to hear a special guest DJ session with the Rock Hall's Howard Kramer who will talk about his favorite songs from 1956. The guest DJ session will also feature Elvis Presley Enterprises' archivist Angie Marchese. For more information, visit www.sirius.com/elvisradio or www.xmradio.com/elvisradio. The photo exhibition catalogue, ELVIS 1956 is illustrated with 72 tri-tone photographs and features an introduction by curator, Chris Murray, with essays by E. Warren Perry, Jr. and National Portrait Gallery historian, Amy Henderson. Visit www.welcomebooks.com/elvis1956 for more information about the book. This exhibition has been organized in cooperation with Govinda Gallery, Washington D.C.
ELVIS 1956 will be open through January 2, 2011.
About Elvis Presley
Elvis Presley is the undisputed King of Rock and Roll. He rose from humble circumstances to launch the rock and roll revolution with his commanding voice and charismatic stage presence. In the words of the historical marker that stands outside the house where he was born: "Presley's career as a singer and entertainer redefined popular music."
Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935, and grew up surrounded by gospel music of the Pentecostal church. In 1948 the family moved to Memphis, where he was exposed to blues and jazz on Beale Street. After graduating from high school in 1953, an 18-year-old Presley visited the Memphis Recording Service - also the home of Sun Records - to record his voice. Owner/producer Sam Phillips was struck by the plaintive emotion in Presley's vocals and subsequently teamed him with guitarist Scotty Moore and bassist Bill Black. In July 1954 the trio worked up "That's All Right" and "Blue Moon of Kentucky" - blues and country songs, respectively - in a crackling, uptempo style that stands as the blueprint for rock and roll.
After five groundbreaking singles, Presley's contract was sold to RCA Records and his career quickly took off. "I Forgot to Remember to Forget" - his last single for Sun and first for RCA - went to #1 on the country charts. "Heartbreak Hotel," a haunting ballad, became his first across-the-board hit, holding down the top spot for eight weeks. Presley's hip-shaking performances on a series of TV variety shows, including Ed Sullivan's, generated hysteria and controversy. From blistering rockers to aching balladry, Presley captivated and liberated the teenage audience. His historic string of hits in 1956 and '57 included "Don't Be Cruel," "Hound Dog," "Love Me Tender," "All Shook Up" and "Jailhouse Rock."
Presley's career momentum was interrupted by a two-year Army stint in Germany, where he met his future wife, Priscilla. For much of the Sixties, he occupied himself with movie-making and soundtrack-recording. His albums of sacred songs, such as How Great Thou Art, stand out from this otherwise fallow period. Presley's standing as a rock and roller was rekindled with an electrifying TV special, simply titled Elvis and broadcast on December 3, 1968. He followed this mid-career renaissance with some of the most mature and satisfying work of his career. Recording in Memphis, he cut such classic tracks as "In the Ghetto, "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain" with the soulful, down-home musicians at American Studio.
If the Fifties were devoted to rock and roll and the Sixties to movies, the Seventies represent the performing chapter in Presley's career. He toured constantly, performing to capacity crowds around the country until his death. Presley died of a heart attack at Graceland, his Memphis mansion, on August 16, 1977. He was 42 years old. Statistically, he holds records for the most Top Forty hits (107), the most Top Ten hits (38), the most consecutive #1 hits (10) and the most weeks at #1 (80). As far as his stature as a cultural icon, which continues to grow even in death, writer Lester Bangs said it best: "I can guarantee you one thing - we will never again agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis."

Maryland Employs Comeback Effort to Top Field Hockey in NCAA Quarterfinals
Box Score
In a battle between the winners of the last three NCAA titles, it was No. 1 Maryland to spoil the No. 8 Princeton field hockey team's hopes of a repeating as national champion in a 3-2 comeback victory in the NCAA quarterfinals Sunday in College Park, Md.
Princeton (14-5) scored two go-ahead goals in the first half, but Maryland was there each time to respond and more importantly break up the tie in the second half to eliminate the Tigers from the postseason.
Both sides set an extremely aggressive and fast tempo through the first half with penetration inside the circle coming at a premium.
Princeton's game plan paid dividends immediately, going up 1-0 at the 2-minute mark on a penalty corner.
After an Annabeth Donovan stop, Amanda Bird faked the initial shot and Teresa Benvenuti sent a quick dish to the left side to an unmarked Sydney Kirby. With a direct open lane, Kirby slammed in the go-ahead goal.
Maryland's Anna Dessoye was there to equalize off a penalty corner three minutes later at 5:04.
With 11:41 left in the first Maddie Copeland, who earned her first career postseason start, came up with Princeton's closest shot attempt since its opening goal. She received a hard pass and extended her stick to redirect it into the cage, but the momentum of the ball sent it just above the crossbar.
Over the first half Gersoff made two saves, both incredible individual attempts over a 20-second span with less than six to play, including a one-on-one effort where she went horizontal to knock the ball out of the cage.
As the first half ticked towards halftime, Allison Evans reestablished Princeton's lead on a drive from the right side into the circle. With a pair of Terrapin defenders lunging at her, she sent in a backhanded shot to make it a 2-1 match with 33 seconds left in the period.
Maryland again answered to even the score quickly, scoring six seconds before the break to tie it 2-2.
The second half saw Maryland pounce the Tiger circle over the opening minutes; however Gersoff stopped both on target shots, including another one-on-one effort where she slid out to tackle the oncoming striker.
Gersoff had four saves in the match.
As UM's offense began to pick up momentum, the Terrapins were able to take their first lead off Jill Witmer's second goal of the afternoon in the 39th minute.
The goal would prove to be the game-winner, as Princeton's ensuing chances in the circle would go wide and high.
Maryland closed out the match holding a 14-9 shot advantage, while both sides finished with four penalty corners apiece.

Failed prophecy in the Bible
The following examples of failed prophecies have been selected from the long list found at the Skeptic's Annotated Bible.
As a punishment for killing Abel, God says Cain will be "a fugitive and a vagabond." Genesis 4:12 Yet in just a few verses (Genesis 4:16-17 ) Cain will settle down, marry, have a son, and build a city.
God promises Abram's descendants the land of Canaan from the Nile to the Euphrates. Genesis 15:18 But according to Acts 7:5 and Heb 11:13 God's promise to Abram was not fulfilled.
God promises to cast out many nations including the Canaanites and the Jebusites. Exodus 33:2 But he was unable to fulfill his promise.
"If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will ... speak unto him in a dream." Numbers 12:6 Now there's a reliable way to communicate with someone!
God promises to cast out seven nations including the Amorites, Canaanites, and the Jebusites. Deuteronomy 7:1 But he was unable to fulfill his promise.
God promises to give Joshua all of the land that his "foot shall tread upon." He says that none of the people he encounters will be able to resist him. Joshua 1:3-5 But later we find that God didn't keep his promise, and that many tribes withstood Joshua's attempt to steal their land.
James quotes a scripture that says, "The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy." James 4:5 But there is no such verse in the Bible.
Peter believed that he was living in the "last times." 1 Peter 1:5 , 7 , 20
John expects to live to see Jesus return. 1 John 3:2
John quotes Jesus (1900 years ago) as saying, "Behold, I come quickly." Revelation 3:11 , Revelation 22:7 , 12 , 20
"And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth...." Revelation 6:13 To John, the stars are just little lights a few miles away that can easily fall to the earth.

Janssens won her first singles match in six attempts this fall with a 6-2, 6-1 winner over Natasha Rizvi (Air Force). It was also Janssens' 25th career singles win. Steur recorded her third win of the fall season in four tries with a straight set winner over Manuela Pietzuch of Boise State. Steur, who played her first three singles matches in three sets coasted to a 6-2, 6-2 win.
Falling in their respective singles matches, but continuing on in consolation play on Thursday were senior Erin Sanders, junior Carla Manzi Tenorio, sophomore Ashley Tiefel, and freshman Mazy Watrous.

What a summer – and how quickly fall has arrived!
Thank you, friends, family, business associates and members for the many ways you have welcomed me as the new executive director of the Lancaster County Council of the Arts.
For me, coming to work in the beautiful, historic Springs House every day in the community I love (with access to a beautiful grand piano on the first floor) is a sign that life is good.
Drivers revved their machines at the starting line.
When the green flag dropped, they were off, sewing wide open.
The Ragin' Cajun, who was on the pole, jumped out to a quick lead, dogged closely by Cannonball, Burn Out Babs and the rest of the pack.
Pit crew chiefs with names like Flash and Oil Can scrambled to keep their drivers moving.
Race car fans, don't think you're losing it if these names aren't familiar, because this race was not at Lancaster Speedway.
The element of surprise was not a factor when Buford Middle School opened football practice in August for the 2011 season. Not for BMS veteran football coach Greg Caskey, who among his new players was Tory Knight, 12.
Knight, a Buford Middle seventh-grader, is a girl.
Still for Caskey, it wasn't stunning to see Knight out for the team.
"I wasn't surprised in the least bit," Caskey said. "She had told me as a sixth-grader in my physical education class she was coming out for the team.
Seventy-six-year-old Ruthie Hayden believes in the power of prayer.
When the Northwest Apartments resident hits her knees these days, it's to lift up her neighbors, and not to duck from random gunfire that used to be heard outside her front door.
"When you put enough prayer on 'em, they have to either start living right or get out," she said. "That's the only choices they have. They're going to live right if they live here."
Blessed to be a blessing is the philosophy two Lancaster groups synonymous with gospel music firmly believe in.
Now, thanks to the local support they've received, they are giving back.
Free gospel music concerts, featuring some of the area's best vocalists, are on tap for tonight and Saturday.
At 7 p.m. tonight, GlennMark Promotions will host its annual fan appreciation Southern gospel concert at Second Baptist Church, featuring King's Cause, The Heritage Quartet and the Good News Quartet.
The Magic Needle Quilt Guild won national recognition in the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge for the most quilts donated by one group.
In July, nine members of the Magic Needle Quilt Guild traveled to Virginia Beach, Va., with 246 quilts packed in a truck and a van to donate to the Hopes and Dreams Quilt Challenge.
The members who took the quilts to Washington were Terri Harich, Brenda Marshall, Janet Nelson and her husband, Ron, Judy Phillips, Emma Thompson, Pat Ussery, Marjorie Vincent and Christine Williams.
From 1969 to 1974, nobody did pop music better than Three Dog Night and they have the hits to prove it.American music icons, the group's name allegedly came from the practice of indigenous Australians sleeping in holes dug in the ground with dingos to stay warm (if the night was especially cold, it was a "three dog night").But some say that story is up for debate.What is not up for debate is the numbers that the group put up in the early 1970s with their smooth, polished vocals.Inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2
It was easy for Tony Shehane to fall in love with bluegrass music.
The parking lot at Bethel Baptist Church will be empty at 6 p.m. tonight.No, services there haven't been canceled and the Rev.
Nothing happens by accident.

Quilt Market was good times!
My crazy silly group of travel partners. We did have fun!
This is part of my Eden booth.
International Quilt Market was, as usual, fabulous and exhausting! I had a great time, but spent far too many hours lost on the freeways, stuck in the UPS hub, stranded in the rain and the heat and the steam and the cold, (the weather was very unstable), and lamenting my "Houston Hair", as it has come to be known whenever I visit there. I have never laughed so hard, sweat so much, or eaten so little. Well, unless you count Smarties as food.
It was great having my baby sister Lucy Morey there with her own booth:
(Hot Scott Booth )
(My sisters Laura, Lucy and me in Lucy's booth.)
"Hot Scott Designs" which is a hip, trendy brand new BOY'S pattern design company, soon to be fabrics as well, and my "older" sister Laura Aston, who manned my booth with me, and was an incredible help and support to me from beginning to end. AND of course my wonderful funny niece Chelsea of Pink Fig patterns (see photo below) was there to inspire us all with her awesome girly pattern designs. Lucy and Chelsea each brought their best buddies along to help them with their booths and we all shared a hotel, rental car, U-haul, candy bowls, and lots of laughs over the course of the 5 days we were together.
Pink Fig's girly booth!
This is Heidi Porth of QuiltHome.com. They have a fabulous online shop with a huge selection, for all of your fabric and pattern needs!
Enough of the quickies.
I promise to show you lots of great eye candy in the form of booths, fabrics, accessories and familiar faces. First I have to find my camera! (Soooo typical)
Oh, and......THE CONTEST HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!
I will be informing you of the winners shortly!

- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups packed brown sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup canola oil
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, oil and vanilla. Combine the flour, salt and baking soda; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well.
- Divide dough into four 1-1/4-cup portions. Shape each into a disk; wrap individually in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until easy to handle, or freeze for up to 3 months. Yield: 4 portions (1-1/4 cups each).
- To use refrigerated cookie dough: Divide each portion into two balls; roll each ball directly on an ungreased baking sheet to 1/4-in. thickness. Cut with a floured 3-in. cookie cutter, leaving at least 1 in. between cookies. Remove excess dough and reroll scraps if desired.
- Bake at 350° for 6-7 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Cool for 2 minutes before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Decorate as desired.
- Or, bake according to individual directions for Drizzled Cherry Cookie Cups, Chocolate Swirled Bars and Wreath Cookies.
- To use frozen cookie dough: Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake according to recipe directions. Yield: 10 dozen cutout cookies.
Reviews for Lightened-Up Holiday Cookie Dough
"My grandkids' favorite Christmas recipe! No, they don't hold their shapes,but the kids fondly call them "blob cookies"!"
"Made cutouts using margarine instead of butter. They "melted" and spread badly in the oven and do not hold their shape at all. I tried using my leftover dough for the Cherry Cookie Cups recipe, but the dough, once again, "melted" and the cherries sank right into the cups and melted dough spread out over the tops to completely cover them. Also, this recipe may be somewhat "lightened up" from the original recipe, in no way can they be considered "light". The taste was good, though."
"I love this recipe and there is so much you can do with it!"
"I substituted the Sugars for Splenda Sugar Blend and Brown Sugar Splenda. I also found that I didn't have any Canola Oil so I used Extra Virgin Olive Oil. I also substituted 1 cup flour for whole wheat flour. They were a little darker but rose properly and were very good I though, nice and soft. I did cutouts for mine and got around 70 cookies which I thought was great! I would definitely do this recipe again."
"Like others on the list, I substituted brown and white splenda for the sugar, using Splenda conversions. They came out delicious. I didn't have near as many as the recipe says, but I also did not roll them out. They don't rise much, fyi."

Been a minute since we've written about our boy James Blake. Last time was news that he'd released his Enough Thunder EP. Since then, he's released a video for his Joni Mitchell cover of "A Case of You" off the aformentioned EP and a new 3-track EP called Love What Happened Here, which you can grab at the end of this post.
Accompanied by Blake's beautiful sing-song, the video starts off warm and cozy, placing you inside the characters' home as would a good book or film. And even as the story descends into cool and withdrawn, the video maintains a peculiar power of familiarity and intimacy. Very nicely done.

Under Friday Night Lights, Tigers Prepare For Home Opener, ESPNU Cameras
The Princeton football team is looking to build off a strong second half at nationally ranked Lehigh, and it knows it will be tested again by Patriot League contender Georgetown Friday night. With both a home crowd and the ESPNU cameras in Princeton Stadium, the Tigers know this is a perfect time for their first win of the season.
LIVE VIDEO (WatchESPN) l LIVE AUDIO l LIVE STATS l PRINCETON GAME NOTES l WEATHER
Princeton Athletics l Princeton Football l Georgetown Athletics l Georgetown Football
TV/Video: ESPNU/WatchESPN
Radio/Audio:103.3 FM/GoPrincetonTigers.com
All-Time Series: Princeton 5-0
Last Year: no game
Last At Site: no game
Last Five Years: 0-0
Last Princeton Win: PRINCETON 17, Georgetown 0 (1923)
Current Streak: Princeton 5
Welcome Home
Princeton will make its 2012 home debut Friday night when it hosts Patriot League contender Georgetown at 7 pm on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium. Princeton leads the all-time series with Georgetown 5-0, though the two teams haven't played since a 17-0 Tiger victory in 1923. In five meetings between 1903-1923, the Tigers have never allowed a single point by the Hoyas.
Lights, Camera, Action
Friday night will be the first of at least five games that will be available to a live national audience on at least one platform. ESPNU will televise the Princeton-Georgetown game, with Joe Beninati and Rene Ingoglia calling the action. The game will also be available live on ESPN3 and WatchESPN, the online and mobile streaming platforms for ESPN. This will be Princeton's fifth game all-time on ESPNU; the Tigers are 2-2, though they have lost their last two, including a double-overtime home loss to Colgate during the 2009 season.
Princeton will also have games on both the NBC Sports Network (Brown) and the YES Network (Yale) this season, while both the Harvard and Penn games will be available on ESPN3 and WatchESPN.
All 10 Princeton games can be heard live on WPRB 103.3 FM and on GoPrinceton Tigers.com. Dan Loney will be calling all games this season.
Magnetic Personality
The first 2,000 fans at Princeton Stadium Friday night will receive a free football schedule magnet, courtesy of Suburban Transit.
Home And Home
Since 2001, Princeton has had significantly different results in its home openers depending on whether they were played in Week 1 or Week 2.
During that period, Princeton's season opener has been played at home five times, and the Tigers have gone 1-4 during that stretch. In the six years that the home opener has come in Week 2, the Tigers are 6-0. Four of those six victories have followed losses.
Patriot Games
Princeton is 1-6 in its last six games against Patriot League opponents, including last weekend's loss at Lehigh. Prior to that stretch, Princeton had gone 6-2 against the Patriot League.
Opening Act
Princeton dropped its season opener to Lehigh 17-14 last weekend, though the Tigers played a significantly different level of football in the second half. Princeton trailed 17-0 at halftime, but scored twice in the fourth quarter to get within three points of the two-time
defending Patriot League champion. It marked the sixth straight season that Princeton has lost its season opener, though it has come back four times in the previous five years to win in Week 2.
Georgetown also lost last weekend, as a 98-yard touchdown pass helped lead Yale to a 24-21 road victory over the Hoyas. It was Georgetown's first loss of the season.
Young Gun
Sophomore Connor Michelsen started the season opener at quarterback last weekend and completed 14 of 30 passes for 103 yards. The last two sophomores to start at quarterback during a Princeton season opener were Tommy Wornham (2009) and David Splithoff (2001).
Michelsen led Princeton to two first downs and no points in the first hald against Lehigh; in the second half, Princeton recorded 10 first downs and 14 points. Michelsen had only five completions in the first half for 29 yards. He had nine in the second half for 74 yards.
Sharp-Dressed Man
With Chuck Dibilio being unable to play this season and junior Brian Mills being moved to defensive back during the spring, the most experienced tailback for the 2012 season is senior Akil Sharp. He showed why head coach Bob Surace felt good about the running game last weekend; Sharp was named to the All-Ivy League Honor Roll after rushing for 79 yards on 22 carries and scoring two touchdowns.
A Family Affair
Freshman DiAndre Atwater played on special teams last weekend, but he could be a prominent part of the rushing attack this season. He is the son of former All-Pro safety Steve Atwater, who made his name on the great Denver Broncos teams.
If Atwater makes his offensive debut tonight, another family member will be there to see it. Brother Steve is a junior defensive back on the Georgetown Hoyas.
Roman Empire
After two injury-plagued seasons, junior wideout Roman Wilson looks ready to have his best year at Princeton. He led the Tigers with four catches for 40 yards last weekend, and he added a two-point conversion catch to get Princeton within three points.
In his first two years at Princeton, Wilson had recorded a total of three receptions for only 25 yards.
Tackling The Issue
Senior Andrew Starks has led Princeton in tackles every year under head coach Bob Surace. He got off to a nice start in 2012, recording a team-best 11 tackles last weekend to earn a spot on the Ivy League Honor Roll. In each of the previous two seasons, Starks averaged a team-best 8.9 tackles per game.
Starks had seven solo tackles and two stops for losses; last season, Starks had only five tackles for losses the entire season.
Reid It And Weep
Princeton has one returning first-team All-Ivy League honoree in senior defensive lineman Caraun Reid, who led all Ivy linemen with 68 tackles, including 29 solo stops. He led Princeton in tackles for loss (16), sacks (eight), pass breakups (three), quarterback hurries (three) and blocked kicks (three) last season and has recorded more than 20 sacks in his two seasons as a starter.
Reid was credited with only one tackle last weekend, though both he and fellow All-Ivy honoree Mike Catapano were consistent forces in the backfield.
Bye-Bye Bhaya
Junior Phillip Bhaya started the 2011 season opener at cornerback, but he was overtaken by then-freshman Khamal Brown for the
remainder of the year. Bhaya looks like he has found his comfort zone now at free safety, where he had eight tackles, including seven solo stops, against Lehigh. He also had a pass break-up to go along with a number of tackles that seemed to be heard throughout Goodman Stadium.
The Middle Of It All
Junior Greg Sotereanos matched a career high last weekend with five tackles, all of which were solo stops. The second-year starter at nose tackle, Sotereanos is the link between Caraun Reid and Mike Catapano on a defensive line that figures to be Princeton's strength in 2012.
Triple Threat
While several freshmen made their collegiate debuts last weekend, none turned as many heads as Anthony Gaffney, who played in all three areas at Lehigh.
Gaffney was the starting cornerback, opposite of Khamal Brown, and he recorded two tackles and one pass breakup. He was also used on a handful of offensive plays and ran one end around for a three-year gain.
As if that wasn't enough, he also returned one kickoff for 27 yards.
Double Trouble
Princeton head coach Bob Surace talked about using two quarterbacks during the preseason, and he backed those words up in the opener against Lehigh. While Connor Michelsen got the majority of the offensive snaps, fellow sophomore Quinn Epperly played in both halves; he completed one pass for six yards and rushed three times for 13 yards.
Epperly was the more experienced of the two quarterbacks heading into the season; he played a significant amount during the second half of the season and was named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after his first career start in the 2011 season finale against Dartmouth.
Cloud Nine
Senior punter Joe Cloud is a two-time All-Ivy League selection, and he is averaging more than 40 yards per punt in his career. He has 23 career punts that have pinned opponents inside the 20, and he has 19 punts of greater than 50 yards.
Cloud currently ranks second in the Ivy League with a punting average of 42.8 yards. He punted 12 times last weekend, with four ending inside the 20 and three going more than 50 yards, including a 65-yarder.
Lights, Camera, Action
Princeton will play several games on either national television or Watch/ESPN or ESPN3 (the ESPN online streaming services).
The Sept. 21 home game with Georgetown will be on ESPNU and WatchESPN.
The Oct. 13 home game with Brown will be on the NBC Sports Network.
The Oct. 20 and Nov. 3 home games with both Harvard and Penn will be on ESPN3.
The Nov. 10 road game at Yale will be on the YES Network.
Poll Position
Princeton was picked to finish eighth in the 2012 Ivy League media preseason poll. Reigning champion Harvard was picked first, followed by 2009 and 2010 champion Penn.
Local Coverage
Dan Loney will be the radio voice for the Princeton football team this season; all 10 games can be heard live on WPRB 103.3 FM and on GoPrincetonTigers.com.
GoPrincetonTigers.TV will have video coverage and highlights of the team throughout the season. Due to contractual issues with ESPN/NBC Sports Network, the only live streamed game on Powers Field at Princeton Stadium with be the Nov. 17 game against Dartmouth.
GoPrincetonTigers.com will provide weekly coverage of the team, including previews, postgame recaps, video interviews, highlights, stats, bios, podcasts, blogs and more.
For those on Twitter, you can get coverage at @PUTIGERS (the official Twitter handle for the athletic department) and at @PUTigerFootball.
The football team has its own site, PrincetonTigersFootball.com, and Jay Greenberg will be writing three blogs each week during the season.
The Crystal Ball
Princeton will play its Ivy League opener next weekend when it travels to Robert K. Kraft Field in New York City to take on Columbia. The Lions opened their season with a 10-9 home win over Marist last weekend, and will host Fordham Saturday afternoon.
Princeton earned a 24-21 home win over Columbia last season, while the Lions won the last meeting in New York City 42-14 (2010). The Lions are now led by head coach Pete Mangurian, who had a 2-1 record against Princeton while coaching at Cornell (2008-2010). Mangurian was the opposing head coach in the first game ever played at Princeton Stadium.
The winner next weekend would take its first step in disproving the low expectations of local prognosticators. Columbia was picked to finish seventh in the Ivy League, one spot higher than Princeton.
Come Home
Princeton is on the road the next two weeks, but will return to Powers Field at Princeton Stadium Sat., Oct. 13, for a noon showdown with Brown. That game will be televised live on the NBC Sports Network.
The Bears have won five straight in the series, including a 34-0 victory in Providence last year.

Although I am a dedicated coffee-drinker, I must admit I have been attending tea parties for a very long time. It all started when my sister received a blue and white china tea set for Christmas. We spent many hours sipping Kool-Aid from the delicate cups, always careful to crook our pinkie fingers and discuss the weather in a very genteel manner.
Unfortunately I don't go to nearly as many tea parties as I used to but when I do, they are pretty spectacular.
For example, in 1990 I attended a tea party at Buckingham Palace. I had managed to get an invitation for myself and my husband to attend the Queen's Garden Party and was quite thrilled to be picked out from the crowd of 6000 guests to be presented to the queen. After my private meeting with her majesty I sipped tea and nibbled cucumber sandwiches while strolling through the palace's private gardens. (more…)

ZF-4994: Translate_Adapter conflict: setOption and getOption
In ZF 1.6.2, when using the setOptions, there is a strtolower on the key ($this->_options[strtolower($key)] = $option;). When using the getOptions(), also the key is lower cased, so not really a big issue.
Now in Zf 1.7.0, on the setOptions, there is no strtolower anymore, but it is still there in the getOptions. So that means that if you set an options camel cased, you won't be able to get it back with the getOptions method because you still lowercase the key in the getOptions but not in the setOptions.
So please choose one way to handle the options in the set and getOptions methods.

Beckman Coulter Life Sciences has acquired Blue Ocean Biomedical, a manufacturer of automated flow cytometry systems and reagents. The transaction provides Beckman Coulter Life Sciences with low complexity analyzers that integrate automated sample preparation and directly address emerging flow cytometry market trends. The systems and reagents are currently not available in the U.S. but available for distribution in the EU only.
Blue Ocean Biomedical products complement the company's cytometry portfolio with instruments based on a "sample in, result out" (SIRO) approach that represents a fundamental change in the routine clinical analysis sector. Blue Ocean Biomedical products provide integration of sample preparation, handling, analysis, and data management—reportedly the only SIRO solution for clinical flow cytometry.
"Our team has developed a line of truly unique instrument systems: essentially, the world's first 'load & go' flow cytometers," comments Mike Brochu, CEO and co-founder of Blue Ocean Biomedical. "With its history of leadership and innovation in this field, Beckman Coulter has all the resources and technology needed to build on this platform and future systems for years to come."
Scott Atkin, president, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences, notes, "This acquisition provides both immediate opportunity and long-term value. The simplification of customer workflows will be dramatic. We'll be able to offer customers an extended line of market-leading technology while expanding our reach within a key segment for flow cytometry." Beckman Coulter Life Sciences expects to be able to deliver an expanded clinical testing portfolio to a broader global market.
