SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Top-ranked Northwestern found itself in unfamiliar territory Sunday - trailing by three goals at halftime. But thanks to six goals from senior Danielle Spencer (Rochester, N.Y./Brighton), the Wildcats rallied to take a 13-12 victory over eighth-ranked Syracuse.
With the game tied at 12, senior Katrina Dowd (Yorktown Heights, N.Y./Yorktown) broke a Syracuse (4-2) double team in the near corner, then beat goalkeeper Liz Hogan for the game-winner with 1:28 remaining. The Wildcats won the ensuing draw control and was able to run out the clock to improve to 6-0 on the year and extend their winning streak to 35 games.
Spencer, playing in front of a large hometown contingent, had one of her top games of the year, recording three draw controls as well. Dowd finished with a hat trick and an assist while sophomore Shannon Smith (West Babylon, N.Y./West Babylon) had two goals and two assists for the 'Cats.
Sophomore goalkeeper Brianne LoManto (Miller Place, N.Y./Rocky Point) came up huge in the second half, recording six of her 10 saves in the second stanza. LoManto had four saves in the final 15 minutes of the game to thwart off the Syracuse attack, including a diving stick save to rob an Orange empty-net goal.
As had been the case in every game this season, Northwestern got on the board first as junior Brooke Matthews (Baltimore, Md./Friends School) converted a free position attempt with 27:46 remaining.
After the Orange responded with a goal of its own two minutes later, the Wildcats' offensive trifecta made its presence known, as a pair of goals from Dowd and an additional from both Spencer and Smith pushed the Northwestern lead to 5-1 with just under 20 left in the opening stanza.
But Syracuse responded in a big way, tallying eight of the next nine goals over the next 17 minutes, including a hat trick from Christina Dove, to take a 9-6 lead with 97 seconds remaining on the clock. Spencer would stop the Orange run with her third of the game, bringing the 'Cats to within two at 9-7 with 1:01 remaining, but Syracuse would add one more goal late to take a 10-7 advantage into the half.
Whatever head coach Kelly Amonte Hiller said to the team in the intermission worked, as goals from Smith, freshman Erin Fitzgerald (Mt. Sinai, N.Y./Mt. Sinai) and Spencer, coupled with a pair of big saves from LoManto tied the game at 10 with 22:49 remaining. Spencer then rocketed her fifth of the game, putting Northwestern back on top 11-10 with 17:33 left.
Syracuse would tie the game at 11 midway through the final half, only to see Spencer tally her double hat-trick off a feed from Smith at the 5:16 mark. The Orange would stage one last rally, tying the game at 12 with 2:47 remaining before Dowd sealed the victory 79 seconds later.
Northwestern again dominated on the draw, taking 18 of the 27 opportunities on the afternoon led by five from sophomore Alexandra Frank (Westwood, Mass./Westwood). Syracuse out-shot the Wildcats 30-26 but could only convert two of their 12 second-half shots.
One category which was uncharacteristic for the Wildcats was turnovers, where Northwestern's 16 in the opening half was the most they had seen all year, as NU finished with 24 for the day.
Close to 1,600 fans turned out to see a classic game on a great day in Syracuse, with a large portion of those in attendance cheering for Northwestern. With 10 players on the Wildcat roster hailing from the Empire State, there was a significant cheering section for the 'Cats at Christian Brothers Academy.
Northwestern will remain on the road, opening up its 2010 American Lacrosse Conference slate in Columbus, Ohio, against the Buckeyes. Opening draw is scheduled for 6 p.m. Wednesday, March 24, at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.

VANCOUVER — This fall, just as it has done for the past 14 years, the Canadian Children's Book Centre will distribute a free children's book to all of Canada's 500,000 Grade 1 students.
All except for children in Saanich, B.C., and Ontario's York Region, where school administrators balked that the book's inclusion of a TD Bank logo transforms it into a piece of corporate advertising.
"The book has nothing to do with banking," said Shar Levine, a board member with the Canadian Children's Book Centre, a Toronto-based non-profit group.
"It's not like Mattel or McDonald's trying to get in early to a child's mind; TD has no real meaning to a child," she said. "Most of the kids in Grade 1 don't even know the letters 'T' and 'D'."
The book is
Boy Soup
by Toronto children's author Loris Lesynski, first published in 1996. Illustrated by Michael Martchenko, whose work has long accompanied the writings of Robert Munsch, the story follows a giant's attempts to cure his cold by fixing up a bowl of boy soup.
TD paid for the book's printing and distribution. As such, there is a TD logo on the book's front cover and a short letter inside from TD Bank CEO Ed Clark in which the veteran Bay Street executive tells the young reader that "imagination can take you new places."
"We do have a policy … that prohibits us from advertising for for-profit corporations," said Licinio Miguelo, a spokesman for the York Region District School Board, just north of Toronto.
Although Mr. Miguelo said the board has not explicitly rejected
Boy Soup
, it has rejected previous logo-ed offerings from the Canadian Children's Book Centre.
"Any material that would include a logo from a for-profit corporation, we would not approve to distribute into classrooms," he said.
York school district staff reportedly got a bit more colourful in a letter to CCBC president Todd Kyle where they claimed they would not be pawns in TD's plan to "convert" school-age customers.
Instead, York Region's share of
Boy Soup
copies have all been sent to York Region libraries, where they have apparently been met with open arms.
"Programs like these are integral to the literary future of Vaughan and the education of generations to come," said Margie Singleton, CEO of York's Vaughan Public Library system in an October statement imploring parents to get their copy while "supplies last."
'Most of the kids in Grade 1 don't even know the letters 'T' and 'D' '
In B.C., Saanich's School Board #63 rejected
Boy Soup
on the grounds that its policies forbid distributing materials that would force students to "observe, listen to, or read commercial advertising."
Nevertheless, the policy does allow the board to consider sponsored materials that include a logo as an "expressions of thanks" or via the "natural course of business." Notably, the district's sports equipment and computers are all cleared to carry prominently displayed corporate logos.
Boy Soup
did not qualify. "[The board] rejected this book due to the advertising contained inside of it," School District 63 superintendent Nancy Macdonald told the
National Post
in an email.
In September, Ms. Levine, a Vancouver-based children's author, made the six-hour round-trip to Victoria by car ferry to make the case for
Boy Soup
directly to a school district board meeting.
Even before the district had seen the cover, she said, administrators were ready to ban the book based solely on the knowledge that TD Bank was covering the printing costs.
"Keep your eye on the prize, and the prize is children's literacy," said Ms. Levine. "I don't think it's in the best interest of children to deny then a book because it's got a fingernail-sized logo that says 'TD.'"
Squeamishness over the logo was markedly non-existent in adjacent School District 61. "The more we have children enjoying great literature, the better," a representative for the district said in comments to the Victoria News.
'There are a HUGE number of issues to make a fuss about to protect children in our society, this certainly isn't one of them'
Todd Kelly, president of the CCBC, says the organization looks "very, very carefully" at potential partners.
Thus, while alcohol sellers, tobacco manufacturers, the petroleum lobby, candy makers and toy sellers probably wouldn't make the cut, Mr. Kelly said associating with TD is "not a compromise at all."
"The selection of the book is ours, they don't interfere there, and obviously there is absolutely no messaging within the campaign that has anything to do with using TD Bank," he said.
While the bank certainly has a financial stake in deciding to support literacy, Mr. Kelly said the motivation is macroeconomic rather than microeconomic.
"As a bank, obviously they have an interest in Canada's economic success, and they've tied that to success in literacy," said Mr. Kelly.
"TD paid for the printing of over half a million copies of
Boy Soup. …
I think letting them identify THEIR version of the book with a small logo on the front cover is incredibly okay," wrote author Loris Lesynski in an email to the
National Post
"There are a HUGE number of issues to make a fuss about to protect children in our society, this certainly isn't one of them."

A definitive 1960s soundtrack comes to CD at last: Wait Until Dark (1967), the brilliant, moody and haunting score composed and conducted by Henry Mancini. The name "Mancini" resonates today as a master of light pop and comedy. One of the touchstones of his career—and of movie music itself—is "Moon River," composed for Breakfast at Tiffany's and conveying the beauty and heart of Audrey Hepburn. However, Mancini was endlessly inventive and relished the opportunity to showcase a darker and more dramatic side of his ability. One of the best chances came on another, very different Audrey Hepburn movie, Wait Until Dark, and he did not disappoint. Wait Until Dark was a suspense masterpiece starring Hepburn as a blind housewife who is terrorized by three hoods (Alan Arkin, Richard Crenna and Jack Weston) trying to retrieve a heroin-filled doll from her New York City apartment.
18 classic Henry Mancini tunes played by likes of Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Sarah Vaughan & More.

Palermo Club Focus: Zamparini Pulls A…Zamparini
"I want to break a record: I won't replace another coach this season. I have already replaced one, that is enough. Am I sure? I will take bets. If I change the coach I will give you 100 to 1 odds."
—Maurizio Zamparini on January 28th, 2013.
The kiss of death. That's what those words must have sounded like to Gian Piero Gasperini. A vote of confidence is unsettling to even the most hardened of managers in the world of football. When your owner is Zamparini, it must feel like quicksand dragging you down to your almost certain demise. And for Gasperini that demise (or relief depending on how you look at it) came on Monday when he was sacked after being in charge for 18 matches. Despite Zamparini's constant backing of the Piedmont native, the volcanic president showed that old habits do in fact die hard.
While Zamparini publicly backed his manager, it should come as a surprise to no one that his patience finally ended as he saw his club slump to another defeat on Sunday, a 2-1 home loss to modest Atalanta. I had stated that despite all the positives Gasperini had shown in terms of football displayed by the squad, he needed to produce in terms of results. That did not happen. As the tactician himself stated, "victories became draws, and draws became defeats" in the dying minutes of matches. A recipe for disaster for most managers, and especially for one looking to avoid relegation.
The timing of his sacking can be questioned (especially since the January signings were made to fit his tactics) but let's be honest. It's Zamparini. Sounds like a simple answer, but sadly it's the truth. Palermo's recent history has shown that there is little-to-no long term planning at the club. Hirings are made and they are fired just as quickly (ask Giuseppe Sannino and Giorgio Perinetti). Heck, I don't think anybody would be surprised if we saw Gasperini back on the bench before the season ends (or even Sannino for that matter).
While Gasperini's sacking can be justified, Zamparini decided to out-Zamparini himself as he forced Pietro Lo Monaco out of the club. Officially, Lo Monaco resigned from his position citing a personality clash with the president. In reality, Zamparini kicked him to the curb and stated that "he arrived when we were third from bottom, and he left us at the bottom of the table". Thus, it was clearly a performance related decision.
The relationship had soured, most notably due to some of Lo Monaco's transfers in January (the sale of club icon Franco Brienza sparking contentious debates amongst fans as well). The upheaval at the club was seen as too radical, even though a change from top to bottom was needed given how poor Palermo have been this season. While Zamparini has every right to do whatever he likes with his club, it's the timing of the sacking that has left people baffled about the entire situation.
As I stated, Lo Monaco reshaped the entire squad. From top to bottom. New goalkeeper, new defenders, new midfielders and new strikers. To say that Lo Monaco was the busiest director in January would be putting it lightly. And the reward for his hard work? Being forced to resign after seeing his reassembled squad lose their first match sincethe closure of the transfer window. Knee jerk does not even begin to describe Zamparini's decision making, but given how much he loves to flex his muscles and remind everyone who is the top dog at the club, we shouldn't be too surprised.
It had become apparent that Zamparini had ceded power to Lo Monaco after the director was hired at the end of September. Given Zamparini's love for wielding power, he could have intervened at any time to limit Lo Monaco's influence. Instead, he allowed the now former director to build a new Palermo during what was the most important transfer window since returning to the top flight as the Rosanero look to fight off relegation. Now Lo Monaco is out, the club is full of players he brought in and Giorgio Perinetti (remember him?) is back in as sporting director after his summer signings (Brienza, Giorgi) were shipped out. Almost too surreal to be true, but unfortunately for Rosanero fans it's all too true. And they are the ones suffering the most as they may see their beloved club return to Serie B for the first time since 2004.
As Palermo head into this weekend's home match against Pescara, everything has changed and paradoxically, nothing has changed. Victory is the only acceptable result. Whether it be Alberto Malesani or Gasperini, the manager behind the bench isn't important as long as the results arrive. A win would see the Rosanero go level on points with the Delfini, while a draw or defeat would be disastrous. Pescara have the fewest goals for and most goals against this season, making them the ideal adversary for Malesani's first act as Palermo boss. Three points are there for the taking, but if they don't arrive, you can't help but think that Sannino may receive a phone call or two since he is still on the payroll, right?

Biogen Idec: Biggest Beat in 10 Years, Largest Leap in Eight Months
How good were Biogen Idec's (BIIB) earnings? So good that its stock has jumped the most since last November.
Biogen said it earned $3.49 a share, blowing away analyst forecasts for $2.83. Biogen also lifted its full-tear guidance to a range of $12.90 to $13.10, well above $11.35 to $11.45. ISI Group's Marck Schoenbaum notes that Biogen's beat was its biggest in at least ten years:
In case you are interested, biotech earnings season began in earnest today as Biogen-IDEC, one of the largest biotech companies, reported its second quarter results. The company beat analysts' expectations and raised financial guidance dramatically. In fact, the magnitude of the company's "beat" was larger than for any quarter in the last 10 years.
Piper Jaffray's Joshua Schimmer and Jerry Yang think Biogen's numbers are good news for other biotech companies:
This morning Biogen crushed consensus estimates with strong performance across all product lines. Consistent with many of the other biopharma companies that have already reported, 2Q looks like it should be a strong earnings season for the sector. The company raised top and bottom line guidance, which still looks conservative to us; another strength in the sector is companies' tendency to consistently beat their own guidance. Biogen's's chronic-use therapies mean that strong NT beats typically translate into upward revisions to outer-year guidance. We're taking our numbers higher although that is accompanied by a slightly lower terminal growth rate given the challenges of growing longer-term off of such a robust base business which includes generic risk to Tecfidera. Our new PT is $420 (prev $370).
Shares of Biogen Idec have gained 10.2% to $334.58 at 10:32 a.m. today, its biggest move since Nov. 22, 2013. Biogen's good news has also given a boost to other biotech stocks. Amgen (AMGN) has ticked up 0.3% to $121.48, Regeneron (REGN) has advanced 0.6% to $307.88 and Celgene (CELG) has climbed 2.4% to $88.76. The iShares Biotechnology ETF (IBB) has jumped 1.7% to $258.01.

Modern Pentathlon guide - London 2012 Olympic Games
Your complete guide to pentathlon ahead of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Photograph: Cavan Pawson / Evening Standard
Converted: A five-event bonanza designed to simulate the experience of a nineteenth century soldier behind enemy lines. Guns, swords and horses included. Now THAT's a sport.
Confused: A weird discipline for indecisive athletes who have no idea what sport they should be doing.
RECOMMENDED: See our full list of London 2012 Olympic sport guides
Modern Pentathlon - The essential guide
Street cred: Pentathletes are ferociously dedicated all-round sportspeople who would be brilliant allies in a jungle-based war, although hopefully it won't ever come to that.
Who's good? Traditionally the eastern Europeans, such as Hungary, Russia and the Czechs.
The basics: The whole shebang takes place on one crazy, action-packed day when athletes do fencing, swimming, horse-riding and a bizarre shooting/running combo (in that order). First past the finish line wins.
Athlete to watch: Reigning world champion David Svoboda, from the Czech Republic, is a hot favorite.
Almost useless fact: In a recent survey, modern pentathlon was revealed to be the least popular sport among UK teenagers, with just one percent of respondents keen to try it.
As seen in: The 1994 movie 'Pentathlon', described on IMDB thus: 'An Olympic gold medalist escapes to freedom in the US, only to be tracked down by his sadistic ex-coach.' And the gold medalist is Dolph Lundgren.
Do say: 'Anything that has been an Olympic sport since 708 BC is good enough for me.'Don't say: 'Do they sell those laser guns in the Olympic souvenir shops?'

New Bushnell Trophy Cam HD
Just went and bought a new trail-cam This thing seems to be one of the premier trail cams out there.Please feel free to give your input and tip on this new cam of mine.We bought it for the feeder. Heading back down south this afternoon just to put it up.Oh we payed $254.00
Nice cam! I've heard nothing but good things about bushnell. I have a buddy who has one and he loves it. I personally have never had one, but that doesn't that I won't someday
Good luck with it
Wow guys this camera is the bomb.I had it on the feeder for 14 day and it took 4563 pictures of deer and turkeys.Granted it was the same 7 does and 10 turkeys but what a camera.No bucks but I think they are just not used to the Moultrie spreader feeder yet.I had to other cheap Moultrie cameras out the same 14 day over bait one took 5 pictures and one took 7.It is not only the bucks afraid of the feeder there are 30+ known does the feed in the food plot that have not yet eaten from the feeder.I will get some pictures up soon.
Sure you aren't seeing buck w/out antlers?? The way I always tell is obviously body size, but if you look closely, bucks will hold their ears down a little more than a doe. This, I'm guessing is from the antler being there. I have studied this, and maybe I'm nuts, but I'm a believer in that.

Ryan Gosling reveals Halloween ambition
Ryan Gosling says his lifelong ambition was to play a character that people "dressed up as for Halloween".
The actor explained why he's decided to take a break from acting to concentrate on directing for now.
Ryan feels he's finally been accepted as an icon amongst a male audience, as well as the female.
"My dream was to make a character people dressed up as for Halloween. As a kid everyone would dress up as a Johnny Depp character," Ryan joked to UK Cosmopolitan magazine. "When I did Drive I was hoping for the same. Then last Halloween people sent me pictures of Drive characters everywhere."
The star is widely regarded as a sex symbol by fans all over the world. He claims his popularity can be put down to the internet.
"Do you remember when Fabio [an American romance-novel cover model] was on a roller coaster and he got hit in the face by a pigeon? It's like I'm the pigeon and the internet is Fabio and it just happened," he laughed. "It's not really me."
Ryan is directing How to Catch a Monster starring Christina Hendricks. He says the project is the most revealing and personal thing he's done in his career so far.
"Sure [I feel vulnerable directing for the first time] - there's nowhere to hide!" he joked. "I was nervous until I had my cast, but now I do I'm excited. You can't really go wrong; they're the best."

Well regardless of what she thinks, I'm really proud of myself! I'm not as good at climbing and jumping as Luigi is, I just can't fit on those small pieces and bits that he can! But *I* got up on the china cabnit, a feat he hasn't managed!
Mom says she is going to have to get us a cat tree for us so that we don't climb her stuff! A cat tree sounds fun! Purr
Nap time!
Mom is pretty impressed with me! I let her trim my nails today with out so much as a complaint. We just snuggled and she went through and snipped the sharp ones. I wonder why I use to hate it so? It is truly nothing!
On a connected note I really love that cardboard scratching post we have. I like to scratch it, its also nice to nap on.
I think moms school work is some of the greatest stuff to play with. Though she doesn't seem to care for me doing so.
It makes this great rattling sound, and it shreds so nicely... just like paper. Oh wait, thats right... It IS paper!
I finally got on the kitchen table for the first time yesterday. Now I get on it all the time! Maybe there is hope of me being able to play up high like Luigi!

Also, supposedly, since the part of us that is god exists in heaven which is outside of time and space we have access to "memories" of events from the future, a memory is semi-time traveling in our minds- we should be able to "remember" the future as well.
**I've heard similar stories from a "caballistic priest", a few "pagans", and a "Druid". *I don't follow any of those three religions. *But I heard this same description again in a Quantum Physics video. *I've heard this description from these four various sources.
I'm really not sure what I believe, this is just the same story I've heard a few times in my life in a few different places.*
I posted a quiestion about what then would be the opposite of "the string theory".
Someone just pm'd me that maybe what I'm looking for is secular humaninism, because "Knowing what you're against is great, but starting to realize what you're FOR is a much nicer feeling. *Secular Humanists are people who used to be Athiests until they realized that Athiests are against God...how can you be against something that doesnt exist? "
LoL it reminded me of a short-lived, very unpopular RPG I played as a teenager called "Changling the Dreaming" where the fairy folk used something called "glamour" it was non-descript dreamstuff that everything in life was made of and it was transmutable.
When I explained "transmutable imaginary physics particles" to dh it reminded him of reiki healing, where you put the general healing into a body and the body applies it to the affected part, it takes the energy and sends it where it needs to go.
and his baby brother (7/2011)
While I don't remember the name of that one movie I just searched Youtube and came up with a name Michio Kaku. I just watched one, it's kind of the same thinking. Parallel dimensions. I googled it and got refered back to reiki. I think it's more of a word of mouth thing. My yoga teacher's moved and i've moved and we lost touch, so I can't ask her.
But yeah it is interesting.
Using symbolism to describe it I think I've got a good start at understanding quantum physics theory (especially since I didn't know that's really what I was studying). I'll keep looking, I've got a little extra time on my hands. If anyone else has heard of any of this I'm a little curious.

If you had to point out something that explains reality in a different way, it would be Newtonian physics, ie, a rational view of the world. Like, what goes up must come down, etc. It is how most people still see the world.

I guess in the PM, I didn't word it that well. You said you were anti-christian. It's kind of the same as athiest (assuming you don't believe in other gods). The problem is that being both anti-christian and athiest say what you don't believe, but nothing about what you DO believe. What you (me too) are "nonthiest" can only be in comparison to thiests. I don't like that and I'm not alone.
It sounds like you may be looking for more than even secular humanism. Maybe Pagan??? There's a belief survey around here somewhere that can point you in some direction. Maybe beliefnet? I pm'd you because you seemed almost angry about it. I've been there, so I thought I'd point out a different direction you may not have considered or knew existed. Instead of saying "I disagree with that, and that, and that, you may find what you agree with and then it opens up new feelings
I've never heard of the String theory....very interesting.

You know, a lot of people taut quantum physics in a way that it comes off as a "spiritual science". What seems like a huge number of these people have no idea of the actual science and have extrapolated theories from small facts. Granted there are some super cool though experiments out there. It sounds like you would do yourself a favor to get at least basic college level text and try to understand. Saying you understand quantum theory without the math is like saying you understand how to spell hippopotamus without having ever seen letters. Frankly, it's kinda bizarre.
Do you have some understanding of quantum theory that makes you think it isn't "spiritual science" that you can share with us?
I admit that I find the concept completely fascinating but really don't have much of a grasp of it at all.
All of that experience makes me know it is not a spiritual science - but I didn't come into the thread to be argumentative. Find your spirituality wherever you want - doesn't really matter if I think it is rational. I just think maybe you should read some more, start at the beginning, and not be afraid of the math if you really want to understand.
Some books that might help are:

Newtonian theory huh? *That's what dh said. *Well, not with the scientific name. *I said what would be the opposite of what I described (with the undivided energy outside of time and space that's made up of all of us). *Dh said the opposite is "if you can't see it, don't believe it."
Yeah that duality thing, I'm gonna have to think a while on that one. *Depending on the angle of the dangle eating the worm will have a whole different outcome.
My dad is a physicist and sent me a DVD of the Nova special "An Elegant Universe." It is a really good way to understand string theory and parallel universes. :-) ( It blew my mind. Really, I think it's amazing)
I've got to agree that you shouldn't co-opt a scientific theory for your spirituality unless you have a pretty good understanding of that theory, from a scientific viewpoint. There are books out there that explain the science behind these theories without going into too much math.
We live in the same neighborhood as a WorldClassScientificResearchInstitution where my DH used to be employed as a chemist. We also live in a religious section of town. While we know a lot of scientists of all stripes, I noticed that there are a particularly large number of religious (read: Orthodox Jewish) physicists.
We've been trying to figure out why such a seemingly statistically unusual number of religious Jews are pulled towards physics; or conversely, why there seem to be a number of physicists who are pulled toward religion.
Haven't figured it out. But this thread is an interesting side road on the way to figuring it out.

I think most of your answer is tied up in electroweak symmetry breaking and the Higgs boson.
IMO, physics necessitates monotheism and a conscious God.

Dark energy is absolutely NOT imaginary! Dark energy (which has been captured by Hubble) is the 'force' that is causing our universe to expand and explains the accelerated rate at which our universe is expanding. "Gaining mass" as you put it actually goes against a fundamental law that mass can be neither created nor destroyed. Dark matter is an explanation for the vast amount of 'space' in space. Both of these are hypotheses, but Dark energy is closer to becoming a theory due to the recent visual aspects of Hubble. Hubblesite.org is an amazing website.
Your original post about string theory doesn't make any sense to me. My understanding of string theory is that it is an extremely complex set of mathematical equations that describes (or attempts to) fundamental particles over several dimensions. I do not understand the "silver cord" you are referring to and there was nothing like that taught in my physics class.
Good luck with your self discovery.

|. The idea that spacetime could have more than four dimensions was first proposed by Theodore Kaluza (see Ref. 1) and Oskar Klein (see Ref. 2) at the beginning of the twentieth century. Higher-dimensional gauge theories are interesting for several reasons. In string theory, extra dimensions are required in order to cancel quantum anomalies. But even in an ordinary higher-dimensional quantum field theory context one can address several of the shortcomings of the Standard Model, for example, the gauge hierarchy problem (see Refs. 3 and 4), the smallness of neutrino masses (see Ref. 5), or the dark matter problem (see Ref. 6).
In order to have avoided detection so far, any extra dimensions have to be compact and small. Naively, the limits on the size of extra dimensions are small enough to rule out an observation of them in the forseeable future. However, in recent years, different models have been proposed that avoid these stringent constraints. These models could potentially be tested in high-energy experiments, such as the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, which is scheduled to become operative in 2009.
Large extra dimensions
Universal extra dimensions
Extra dimensions and deconstruction
Large extra dimensions
Large extra dimensions were first proposed by Arkani-Hamed, Dvali, and Dimopoulos (ADD) in 1998, their model being known as the ADD model (see Ref. 3). The novel feature of this model is the assumption that the Standard Model (SM) fields are confined to a so-called brane, which is a four-dimensional manifold residing in the full bulk spacetime. This brane is to be identified with ordinary four-dimensional spacetime. Since the SM fields are not allowed to probe the extra dimensions, experimental constraints on their size are avoided to a large extent. Gravity, on the other hand, carries no SM charges and is allowed to probe the extra dimensions. In principle, the assumption that gravity lives in a higher-dimensional spacetime leads to deviations from Newton's inverse-square law at short distances. However, because of its weakness relative to the SM forces, gravity has only been tested down to distances of the order of micrometers, and hence, the experimental constraints are still quite weak.
Gotta go. BBL. I like hearing new things.
Justice2. I just googled "fundamental particles over several dimensions" because I thought it sounded neat. I quickly came up with the page I just quoted. In my op I said I heard that our bodies live on earth, our souls live in the astral plane (I can't figure out what that is either, maybe just outerspace?) and our spirits, or the truest essences, the purest parts, whatever.. of everyone of us is somewhere else right now just pass the edge of all the physical mass in space. Since that's beyond time and space there's no division there and "god" is just pure energy that fills up that whole place and is made up of us.
Gotta go. BBL. I like hearing new things.

The partner of a man who was allegedly tortured to death at a County Durham house has admitted killing him.
Andrew Gardner was punched, stamped on, whipped and burnt before his death at Arthur Street, Chilton, in March 2008.
Mr Gardner's partner Clare Nicholls, 28, her brother Simon, 24, and her ex-partner Steven Martin, 44, all of Arthur Street, are accused of
On Thursday Clare Nichols admitted manslaughter but the plea was rejected by the prosecution.
Earlier the mother-of-four accused her brother of joining in the attacks.
She told the court her younger brother Simon had taken part in the brutal attacks on Mr Gardner, which resulted in him suffering more than 100
separate injuries.
Mr Gardner, 35, was repeatedly punched, kicked, stamped on, whipped and burnt in the weeks leading up to his death in March last year.
The trial at Teesside Crown Court has heard that his torturers had even played a "grotesque" game of noughts and crosses on Mr
Gardner's stomach.
Giving evidence, Clare Nicholls accepted she had a violent personality and admitted she had regularly hit her former partners, including the father
of her three oldest children.
But she denied she was solely responsible for the injuries inflicted upon Mr Gardner, although she said she would regularly punch and slap him.
She told jurors her brother was also responsible for jumping on Mr Gardner's ribs, along with her.
Repeated blows
Nicholls explained she regularly lost her temper with Mr Gardner because she was house proud and he was untidy and had poor personal hygiene.
Questioned by her barrister Robert Woodcock QC, she admitted using her knees to land repeated blows on Mr Gardner's ribs.
Nicholls said she would also get angry at Mr Gardner because he would constantly fall asleep during the day while looking after their baby
She said: "He would just sit in one particular spot that he always sat in, which would be on the floor near the fireguard.
"He would constantly nod off and just fall asleep."
The court heard Clare Nicholls had grown up in Portsmouth, Hampshire, and had moved to the north-east of England when she was in her teens.
The trial continues.

A MAN accused of murder has blamed his lover for killing her partner and told a jury that he was disgusted with himself for not intervening to stop the
fatal attack.
Steven Martin said he sat and watched while Clare Nicholls punched and kicked Andrew Gardner in the head, and jumped on his chest before he died last
Mr Martin told a jury at Teesside Crown Court that Miss Nicholls was solely responsible for killing Mr Gardner, 35, and that he
was "too scared" to stop it happening.
The court heard that Mr Martin, 44, and Miss Nicholls, 28, had been lovers before she met Mr Gardner, and he had also been on the receiving end of her
violent temper.
He moved in with the couple and her brother, Simon Nicholls, 24, at their home in Chilton, County Durham, last February after being invited to by Miss
Miss Nicholls and Mr Martin began sleeping together again - sometimes having sex in front of Mr Gardner - in what the prosecution claims was "utter
It is alleged that Mr Gardner was tortured to death by the three over "at least weeks" in punishment beatings that left him with more than 100
separate injuries.
Mr Gardner suffered 21 rib fractures, burns, whip marks and slashes, as well as bleeding on the brain, and was showing signs of malnutrition and blood
Under cross-examination, Mr Martin admitted that he was responsible for burns on Mr Gardner's back and shoulder where he had been pinned against a
piping-hot radiator.
He also accepted he was to blame for pouring boiling water from a kettle over Mr Gardner's feet and legs, but denied "branding" him with a
white-hot cigarette lighter.
Mr Martin was asked by his barrister, David Robson: "While the so-called torture was going on in the house, why did you not do anything to prevent
He said he "felt sick" as he watched Miss Nicholls repeatedly attack Mr Gardner, and said: "I was too scared of Clare's temper and she
may have lashed out at me."
Mr Robson asked: "How do you feel now that Andrew Gardner was killed in that house and you didn't do anything to stop it?" Mr Martin replied:
"I feel upset. I'm disgusted in myself."
Mr Nicholls was due to give evidence after his sister on Friday, but he declined to take the witness box.
The three, of Arthur Street, deny murdering Mr Gardner on March 13, and the trial will resume today.
Miss Nicholls has accepted inflicting "the best part" of the injuries - although she claims she did not intend to seriously hurt Mr Gardner - but
has said her brother and lover also contributed.

CRIME SCENE: The house in Chilton, where Mr Gardner died
A MURDER trial jury sat in shock as they heard more details of the alleged horrors that went on inside a house where a father is said to have been tortured
to death.
Andrew Gardner's partner, her brother and her ex-lover are accused of slashing, burning, beating, whipping, kicking and stamping on him for weeks before
he died.
Mr Gardner was found to have 21 rib fractures, head injuries, blood poisoning and a chest infection as well as the other wounds, Teesside Crown Court was told.
The 35-year-old was also showing signs of being malnourished when a postmortem examination was carried out by a pathologist, after his death in March last
Yesterday, on the second day of a trial, further details emerged of the alleged abuse at the house in Chilton, County Durham.
Jurors wept as they heard evidence about how Mr Gardner was tortured - including having four-letter words scrawled on his body.
On his back were daubed messages such as "You are a f****** bastard" and "I hate you because you are such a f****** idiot", the jury of
seven men and five women was told.
Mr Gardner shared the house in Arthur Street with his partner Clare Nicholls, 28, her brother Simon Nicholls, 24, and her "on-off lover"
Steven Martin, 44.
All three deny murder and face a trial which is expected to last up to three weeks.
In police interviews, they blamed the others to some degree for the injuries.
The court was told that Miss Nicholls weighed and measured food to stop Mr Gardner taking any without her knowledge, and made him face the door while others
He was repeatedly beaten because he told lies, stole food and sometimes nodded off. He was even told he was not allowed to sit on settees, the jury
Pockets had been cut from his tracksuit bottoms so he could not hide anything in them, the court heard, and he was ordered to sleep on newspapers or
The family moved into the house in the summer of 2008, and next-door neighbour Linda Austin said she heard Clare Nicholls screaming as soon as they
Ms Austin said there did not appear to be any arguments as nobody else in the nextdoor house spoke after Miss Nicholls shouted in her "loud and
aggressive" way.
She agreed when asked by Paul Sloan, prosecuting: "Did she appear to be in control of her household, dominating what was occurring in that
The case continues.

The court heard how Mr Martin was in a seven-year relationship with Ms Nicholls's mother Janet Hall, before he began dating Ms Nicholls.
Earlier in the day, Ms Nicholls accepted she broke Mr Gardner's ribs but told jurors she didn't mean to kill him.
During cross-examination, Paul Sloan QC told her: "You cannot bring yourself to admit what you intended to do that night because if you truly admitted
your intention you would be admitting murder."
The mother-of-four said: "I never intended him any serious pain or even death.
"I have no words at this moment in time but I do know one thing, I never for one minute wanted to see that man die."
Simon Nicholls was due to give evidence after his sister, but refused to take the witness box

A mother and her brother have been jailed for life for the murder of a County Durham man tortured to death.
Clare Nicholls, 28, and her brother Simon, 24, were convicted of the murder of her partner Andrew Gardner, 35, at a house they shared in Chilton in
The mother-of-four was told she must serve at least 32 years in jail. Her brother will serve at least 25 years.
Nicholls' ex-lover Steven Martin, 44, was also convicted of murder and will be sentenced after psychiatric reports.
All three had denied murder.
Teesside Crown Court heard how Mr Gardner was burnt and beaten over a period of weeks before his death at the house in Chilton in March 2008.
A jury was told how helpless Mr Gardner suffered weeks of agonising violence.
During the two-week trial Clare Nicholls admitted manslaughter, but her plea was rejected by the Crown.
Mr Gardner was father to the youngest of his partner's four children.
He had 21 rib fractures, burns to his feet, neck and back, whip-like marks on his body, severe bruising and brain bleeding.
Crude abuse was daubed on his body in nail varnish when he cried.
Jurors wept when they heard that youngsters were encouraged to join in the attacks at the house they shared in Arthur Street, Chilton.
Marks caused by a sharp object were found on his body, described by Home Office pathologist Dr Nigel Cooper as "a grotesque game of noughts and
Boiling water was poured over his feet in the bath, he was held against a hot radiator and scorched with a cigarette lighter.
Mr Gardner, who weighed 8st 14lb (57kg) was banned from eating and was forced to steal food from cupboards, and received more punishment when he got
Paramedics were called to the house on 13 March last year but, Mr Gardner had been dead for some time.
Medical evidence showed he was incapacitated by a second, painful set of rib injuries, probably caused by jumps or stamps, and that he took
"some time to die".
After the verdict, Mr Gardner's mother Jean said: "The thoughts of what went on at the hands and direction of that evil woman has left me
with nightmares that will probably never go away.
"Andrew was a pleasant, caring, loving lad, who kept out of trouble and was never violent to anyone.
"It's unspeakable what she and the others did. You don't do that to another human being."
Ch Insp Mick Nail added: "This has been the worst case of violence Durham Constabulary has had to investigate.
"The injuries that Andrew Gardner suffered could well have been inflicted by medieval torturers.
"Claire Nicholls led and orchestrated the abuse and degradation of Andrew and topped his suffering with humiliation - made worse by the fact
that she involved her own children."

Above: Claire Nichols (28), Simon Nichols (24), and Steven Martin (44) were all found guilty of murder. Three people have been found guilty of the brutal torture, and murder, of a County Durham dad. Andrew Gardner was found dead at his home on Arthur Street in Chilton back last year.
The 35 year-old was subjected to more than 150 separate injuries by the people he lived with, including being starved, whipped, cut burnt, and bruised. In once case he was left with horrific scars after having boiling water poured down his legs. He also had 21 broken ribs.
Teesside crown court heard how he put up with it all for the love of his one year-old daughter, and the desire to be close to her.
One one his own girlfriend - 28 year-old Claire Nichols. The other two were her brother - Simon, 24, and her lover - Steven Martin - who is 44. Following a three week trial, it took the jury at Teesside crown court just half an hour to find all three guilty. Claire Nichols was sentenced to life in prison, with a minimum of 32 years.
Simon was also sentenced to life, with a minimum of 25 years. Meanwhile Steven Martin will be sentenced at a later date. Andrew's mother Jean made a statement following the trial:

It is natural for parents to touch, stroke and cuddle their babies which makes the process of massaging all the more easy. Put a few drops of the selected massage oil blend of onto warm hands and spread it across your palms. Then carry out the following movements:
Feet and Legs: Apply firm yet gentle upward strokes on the outside of the legs (towards baby's hips) without applying too much pressure on the delicate bones and joints. Rub some oil on the underside of the feet to warm them up.
Scalp and forehead: Babies often have trouble sleeping even when they are very tired. Use your fingers to apply gentle circular strokes across the scalp, temples and forehead. Your baby will slowly calm down and drift off to sleep. If your baby is not very distracted, you can try doing this with your free hand while breastfeeding.
Back: Start at your baby's buttock with your hands in a triangle shape. Perform gently strokes moving up baby's back. Massage shoulders and return gently down the sides of baby's back. Repeat three times.

ok - it;s 5 am - I have been up since 4 am or 3:30 am - the first trimester pregnancy insomnia has kicked in. The only time I am free to sleep ( the toddler is passed out) - of course I am laying in bed with my mind filled with all sorts of thoughts, so now upstairs on the computer.. ways to solve the pregnancy insomnia ? Sometimes liquid calcium before bed helps, though I was too tired to take it, so of course, now I am awake! I seem to remember something about my midwife saying these interrupted sleep cycles are the bodies way to get ready for new baby . But I cant take a nap due to little sleeping 20 month old.
Had a really pregnant moment at 10 pm in the grocery store last night. I went in to Safeway to get icecream, and left with a whole rotiserry chicken, 5 apples, an entire sour dough baguette, a marion berry pie and 2 pints of ice cream gelato. I realized I was very pregnant because I almost had an emotional teary eyed breakdown in the ice-cream aisle, as I stared at all the luscious mint ice-cream and cookies and cream ice-cream, and then realized every single one had corn-syrup as the ingredient. ( ive sworn off corn syrup due to genetically modified ingredients which are bad for fetus, and the hormones in the ice-cream) - so I found myself filling out a comment form demanding organic usda approved ice-cream from safeway . Oh the hysterics, so I finally left with hazelnut gelato, which thankfully did not have any GM corn syrup or hormone milk as the ingredients.. today I must get to whole foods where I can buy a gallon of organic cookies and cream ice-cream. The last thing i need with this pregnancy is more food paranoia - to worry about the effects of artificial hormones and genetically modified foods on my unborn fetus at 4 am is contributing to my pregnancy insomnia, so the solution, for me, is to carefully watch what I eat - but ending up at safeway at 10 pm, emotional and hysterical, starving and nauseous .. ahhh, I forgot the joys of pregnancy... OK trying to go get some sleep now!
due july 1st - 2011 !!!!!!
It's 3:30am, and I woke up HUNGRY!!! I'm going to eat some crackers and then hopefully go back to bed.
Married to my loving DH

I'm just past mile 6 of my 16.7 miler today when I recall a former co-worker who told me she ran the uphills really slowly and the downhills as fast as she could. She'd get annoyed running with her husband because he would do the opposite.
This popped into my brain as I was charging up the one itty-bitty hill on the Greenway path. I like running UP the hills hard, but like to take it easy going down. In my brain, it's a reward for making it to the top. I also like to run in the sun fast, but I take it easy in the shady spots. At the time, I was trying to figure out how this related as a life metaphor, but the thought got lost in the scatterbrain of the long run.
I feel kind of scatterbrained lately. Too many hands in the different pots.
Hood to Coast prep (good). Jackson Hole training (good). Work--a straightforward affair most of the time, but weathering a bit of a storm currently (eh...). Halfmarathons.net stuff (good).
I should vacuum my house this month, but the dirt will still be there tomorrow.
I am headed out in 3 short weeks to Portland for this HTC adventure. I'm runner #6.
We begin at 1:45 p.m. and our projected time is 27 hours. So we'll be in Seaside, Oregon around late afternoon. I am most stoked about the shenanigans (muhahaha!) and least stoked about the possibility of no sleep/navigating a car full of Loopsters. Is it strange to say that the running feels almost secondary with this group? I have an tiny iota of concern about trashing my quads on the downhills, but only because I'll be running a marathon a week later.
My training for that has been well, weird. Hitting my long runs, enjoying some weirdly cooler summer weather, and avoiding true speed work. I've done some tempo runs, but nothing shorter or faster. My right quad/hip has been feeling an off and on dull ache for a few weeks. Tight in the morning, noticeable after work, but doesn't really bother me while running. We recently switched from gross tile to painted concrete floors at work and I think my legs actually miss the gross tile. It's been a long time since my feet and legs ached from just working, but I experienced it twice last week. 2 11-hour days probably didn't help the situation. I've decided that extending that hip/quad area with speed work isn't wise for right now. I want race well, but I also want to keep running after said race.
Today was good for me.
After this past Sunday, I was feeling better about easing up a bit:
Last week was so hectic with work that I fell prey to dinners like this every night:
So I tried to get back on track this week. A little more veggies:
A little more nutritional choices:
And despite all the kookiness going on with work and running, I've managed to find not-so-exhausting solutions to avoiding the vacuum.
*Adam took me to two movies last week. Sex Tape (2 stars, all the funny parts in the beginning/in the commercials) and Lucy (2 stars, great first 1/2, dumb second half).
*I started reading an awesome book in preparation to revisit Yellowstone. Don't judge a book by it's cover--it is extraordinarily fascinating.
*Buying stuff for the impeding trip. A new running skirt, a 4-port car charger, Balega socks, GUs, etc.
*Making an itinerary for the impending trip.
*Hanging out with the BTs while I watch the Braves and read bloops (okay, that's like, every week...):

I'm sure that you've heard a lot about Lyme disease and how it can affect our bodies. Let's explore more about this disease and what it might mean for you. Low-grade Lyme disease is very persistent and can exist in your body for years without being diagnosed. It usually is associated with the symptoms of feeling extremely tired and chronic fatigue. This is an important topic because the occurrence of Lyme disease has spread rapidly (it's been identified in nearly all the U.S. states). And to compound the matter, it is frequently undiagnosed even after specific tests have been given to detect the disease. The actual diagnosis of Lyme disease if very difficult and is still even not well accepted in the medical community.
There are a variety of tests that have been developed to detect Lyme disease in humans, but vague or false results are commonly seen with the usual Lyme titers and also with the Western blot test. An increased sensitive test, called polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, is available in a few areas. The PCR test will identify the deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that is present in the Lyme bacteria. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is growing in its use and availability. However, PCR remains a research technique, in part because laboratories performing PCR tests must be meticulous in technique to minimize the likelihood of false-positive results
However; this only indicates if you have the Lyme bacteria in the present. If the test is negative it is certain that you do not have Lyme now. In addition, the test has not yet been standardized for regular diagnosis.
In addition, there is another confusing feature about Lyme disease. It is that although most cases respond quite well to antibiotic treatment, some symptoms might continue or recur in a few of the treated patients; and this would require additional antibiotic treatment. In some cases, a patient might develop ongoing chronic symptoms and might have permanent damage to the joints and nervous system. Some scientists speculate that treatment with specific antibiotics might even improve the survival of the Lyme bacterium, under certain conditions in some patients. This is why, if you suspect that you might have been infected with Lyme disease, it's very important that you to contact a health-care professional who is familiar with the symptoms, the testing, and the treatment of this disease.
The good news is that you can make a full recovery from these infections (diseases such as Lyme disease and the Epstein–Barr virus) that deplete your energy. It might take a long time, even if you think you feel much better following your initial diagnosis and treatment course. We'll talk more in other articles about immunologically–mediated symptom "constellation" conditions, such as these, that have symptoms of fatigue as a major side-effect. For now, suffice it to say that while we do not have all the answers (these conditions are complex), research continues and there is hope. Hang in there and continue to create your healthy lifestyle and take care of the most important person—you!
For more information, please see our more comprehensive articles on fatigue.

In use as early as 1891, the fedora has been variously associated with women's rights, British royalty, gangsters, and men of style with a heyday that peaked in the mid-1950s before more casual dress took over the sartorial consciousness. Mens vintage fedora styles are enjoying a resurgence in contemporary fashion, symbolic of timeless style today.

Most parents want to keep their children away from alcohol as long as possible, because of all the problems early onset drinking can cause, not only while they are still teens, but later in life also.

If you have middle-school age or younger children, you have probably discussed with them the dangers of underage drinking and you probably try to supervise them closely and keep an eye on who they are hanging around with.

You might also want to pay attention to what magazines they read, television programs they watch and radio stations they choose. That's because the alcohol industry is pouring millions of advertising dollars into that media, trying to influence your children's choices and win their loyalty.

There is a reason for that. There are at least 14 longitudinal studies that have linked youth exposure to alcohol advertising to the likelihood that kids will begin drinking early or if they have already started drinking, drink more.

For years, the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth (CAMY) at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has been a watchdog of the alcohol industry and its advertising practices. What their research has found might be disturbing to parents trying to keep their children away from substance abuse.

The alcohol industry has voluntarily imposed a 30 percent limit on itself for the size of the underage audience for its advertising, but study after CAMY study has found that America's youth are exposed to much more booze advertising.

Parents Concerned About Advertising Practices

CAMY surveys of parents have found that many parents are concerned about the overexposure to booze ads. Two-thirds of parents believe more ads means more youth drinking and 75 percent say the alcohol industry should do more to limit youth advertising.

A vast majority of parents surveyed strongly disapproved of alcohol industry practices to produce websites that include video games for children and were troubled to learn that young people age 12 to 20 see two beer commercials for every three seen by adults.

Alcohol Advertising Is Effective

Research has found that parents have a good reason to be upset. One study found that for each dollar the alcohol industry spends on youth advertising, young people drink 3 percent more each month. Each advertisement viewed by the 1,872 teens surveyed resulted in a 1 percent increase in the number of drinks consumed that month.

Young people in markets where there is a saturation of alcohol advertising, tend to keep increasing their drinking over time to the point that they consume an average of 50 drinks per month by age 25. The bottom line is, the more advertising young people see, the more they drink.

Advertising Features Youth-Targeted Beverages

CAMY researchers have revealed that many of the ads placed in magazines with a high youth readership and on radio formats that appeal to ages 12 to 20 are for beverages that appeal to young drinkers. Drinks known as low-alcohol refreshers and "malternatives" are advertised specifically in the youth market.

A five-year study of magazine advertising found that 23.1 percent of ads for adult alcoholic beverages appeared in magazines with high youth readership, and almost double that number (42.9 percent) of ads for youth alcoholic beverages were placed in the same magazines.

Youth Radio Stations Targeted

Another study found that on radio stations, young people age 12 to 20 heard 8 percent more beer and ale advertising and 12 percent more malternative advertising than adults. Surprisingly, youth heard 14 percent more ads for distilled spirits or hard liquor.

The study found that 73 percent of alcohol radio advertising were placed on stations with Rhythmic Contemporary Hit, Pop Contemporary Hit, Urban Contemporary and Alternative formats, the type of music that attracts a disproportionately large listening audience of 12- to 20-year-olds.

Specific Youth Groups Targeted

Other studies have found that alcohol ads are targeted at specific groups deemed more likely to be vulnerable to the advertising message. Researchers found that in magazines, girls were more targeted than boys with ads for beer and ale, distilled spirits, and low-alcohol refreshers.

African-American youth is another group targeted by the alcohol industry. A CAMY study found that black teens were exposed to 32 percent more ads in magazines, 17 percent more on television, and 20 percent more distilled spirits ads on radio.

The study found that African-American and Hispanic communities were particularly overexposed to radio advertising. Hispanic youngsters heard 34% more beer and ale ads on the radio than Hispanic adults.

Token Alcohol "Responsibility" Ads

You've seen and heard commercials from alcohol advertisers reminding you of the dangers of underage drinking and warning against drinking and driving. But the truth is those ads are rare.

CAMY found that underage drinkers were 400 times more likely to see an ad for a specific alcoholic beverage than they were to see one discouraging underage drinking and 188 times more likely to see a booze ad than an anti-drunk driving ad.

The study found that advertisement for alcoholic beverages outnumbered the industry's "responsibility" ads by 226 to 1.

In today's culture, parents trying to prevent their children from underage drinking not only have to worry about peer pressure but also about pressure from the alcohol industry which is pouring millions into advertising into media that attracts young people.

Mig also makes oil weathing tubes, as I understand if your paint has been sprayed gloss you use mig pigments an/or oils, but if you sparayed it flat I found that only the pigments work best.
Anyhow dark mud pigments have been added to the yellow.
Later i will add to the red and blue and white.
Please fell free to comment on my jet pack.
I forgot to mention that this pack is a Man Of War, it is of oustanding quality and I could not be happier
thanks for looking

Re: Made a switch...
I never take it out..
I one I am running RIGHT NOW is 20857425U
It is listed as 4.1C
This is the one that gave me the clock.
It was my 2nd free update...
If I am not mistaken.. you need AT LEAST the 4.1C to get the clock
Just for info purposes...My first free update ... that DID NOT have the clock is ... 25850927U ... V3.0

Re: Made a switch...
From the stock disc I updated to 20861673, version 5.0c, 2010 and use it with no problems. Back when I did that I called customer support and dealers for part numbers so for reference here are they are:
2006 15804409
2007 15931508
2008 25850927
2009 25974486
2010 20861673
They are numbered from 1-5 consecutively as well.
If you are going to buy from anyone but the OEM supplier and they are not going to get the money anyway, there are certain other ways to obtain the program completely free. Ahem, you'll need a DVD burner. Argh matey. Just saying. Not that I still have a link or anything.

Re: Made a switch...
ltdltc, where did you get the cupholder swap unit? Thats the one thing my wife constantly gripes about in her DTS. Would like to make her happy if possible.
Re: Made a switch...
I made a thread about it. I bought the cup holder when I had my Lux II same model year as the Performance that I just got recently, 2006. Before I traded it in I took it out and swapped the old one back in so I could use it again, it does seem possible to swap the interior colored part but the tan matches the Grey pretty well and when I find the initiative I'll see if its doable.
Read about it in this thread...
