Brief Summary of InvestigationDr. Howlett investigates cannabinoid and endocannabinoid compounds that stimulate the CB1 cannabinoid receptor and regulate signal transduction pathways in cultured neuronal cells. We study phosphorylation of the receptor as a means to direct signaling through specific G proteins, as well as the potential for drugs to direct the partnering with different G proteins leading to selection of certain signal transduction pathways (e.g., via adenylyl cyclase inhibition, MAPK activation, Ca2+ regulation, and NO production). The goal is identify drugs that target neurons in the brain that promote therapeutically beneficial actions (e.g., analgesia), but diminish the activity of neurons that produce untoward side effects (e.g., sedation, cognitive dysfunction).Please use the menu above for more information about Dr. Howlett.

This is the second time I've bought this product, and I'm slightly disappointed this time around. The first time they fit my shoe perfectly, made a huge improvement in my pain level, basically worked like a charm. The second time around I'm not impressed. I have the same does as the first time yet they don't fit as well, they don't go far enough back so my heel is basically hanging off them, they also go to the right so my foot is also hanging over on the left. Same size I bought before also so don't know if they were designed slightly different or what but they're not helping at all this time, actually think pain is worse when using them.
These are repeat purchases for me. I like the leather top and there is a certain amount of give in the foam to keep my heel from getting sore, yet they're firm enough to still provide the needed lift. They last a LONG time!

I know all the data files are available for free on their web site and that LGP just packaged everything up on a DVD and sold it. LGP did that with a lot of things like Neverwinter Nights, windows version + their created Linux install DVD. Yes the source code of the engine is on Sourceforge so people can pull it down and work on it. It might attract more developers and users if the data sets were dumped into the CVS.
I am sure some people might like it, but not too many people even know it exists. My issue is that it was more of a snowboard simulator and instead I was looking for a game. I would love to see it become something more like SSX Tricky or whatever as a game instead. Racing down a course with AI players and doing tricks for speed boosts. Not very realistic but fun to play.

American Reunion
April 6th 2012
As the name suggests, all the best cast members from the American Pie films are back for one last paycheck... we mean LOL-fest. Jim's awkward sexual efforts will be racked up alongside Stifler's hip thrusting and Jim's dad's eyebrows. They're all meeting up for a school reunion so expect awkward and embarrassing laughs in magnum-sized loads.
Avengers Assemble
May 4th 2012
Fan boys everywhere are already writing practice blogs in anticipation of Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Hulk, and the other two less impressive superheroes teaming up for a spectacular show of Marvel's best. But can anything suffering this much hype live up to the excitement? With Buffy the Vampire Slayer's Joss Whedon directing, US$220 million spent, and Iron Man blowing things up (lots) it can't be all bad – even if the UK title is ridiculous.
The Dictator
May 18th 2012
Sacha Baron Cohen is back at the helm of another blockbuster budget aimed at aggravating the world into laughter once more. This time it's terrorist jokes in tank loads, mainly on American soil. The dictator character of Admiral General Aladeen is loosely based on Saddam Hussein. The premise, meanwhile, is not dissimilar to Charlie Chaplin's film the Great Dictator; in that film, a barber resembling a Hitler-like dictator assumes his place, while in The Dictator, Aladeen is forced to live as an ordinary man when his signature beard is shaved off. With John C. Reilly, Anna Faris and Ben Kingsley on the cast list, you'd best limber up before seeing this, as we predict you'll be sore from laughing by the end.
Men In Black III
May 25th 2012
Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones are back in black – in a time-travel adventure which sees Josh Brolin playing the young agent K. And if that team didn't sound good enough already, Barry Sonnenfeld is back behind the camera for Men in Black III. Expect aliens, time travel, assassination attempts, and giant guns – all in the Mad Men style swinging sixties. Oh and Nicole Scherzinger is in it too.
June 8th 2012
An Alien prequel helmed by its original director Ridley Scott? How could that go wrong? Michael Fassbender, Guy Pearce, Charlize Theron and Idris Elba are all on board to make it, so we're hoping nothing can capsize this Titanic production. Cool space suits, barren alien landscapes and shots with Red Epic cameras fitted with Element Technica Atom 3D rigs should make it a 3D marvel too.
Seeking a Friend for the End of the World
June 22nd 2012
The world is about to end. Dodge (Steve Carell) is alone after his wife left him, so he sets out with his neighbour Penny (Keira Knightley) to find his childhood sweetheart. But his road trip buddy puts a wrench in the works. Directed by Lorene Scafaria, the author of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, you can expect dark humour and heart touching moments aplenty.
The Amazing Spider-Man
July 6th 2012
Spider-Man has been rebooted once again, but this time it's carrying the full comic title from the original Amazing Spider-Man. It's also got a convincing lead in the skinny-science-nerd looking English actor Andrew Garfield. Love interest Gwen Stacey will be played by Emma Stone and Doctor Connors/The Lizard will be played by Rhys Ifans. And thanks to the Red Epic camera (this was the first major film that has used it) the film was shot in 5K, so should feel stunning as Spidey web-slings his way around New York in first-person perspective 3D.
The Dark Knight Rises
July 20th 2012
The finale to Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy could be the best of the bunch – despite the absence of the late Heath Ledger. Ledger's Joker has a worthy successor in Bane, played by Bronson's Tom Hardy. Bane's always been one of Batman's greatest foes in the comics, once breaking Batman's back and nearly killing him – and for the first time in the Nolan trilogy, we have a villain who looks like he actually poses a physical threat to Batman.
Early footage caused fanboy gripes about Bane being virtually unintelligible through his Darth Vader-esque mask – but Nolan reckons it'll be fine once you're in the cinema. We hope so or it could ruin the best reboot of any series to date.
G.I. JOE Retaliation
August 3rd 2012
The original G.I. JOE was everything Transformers should have been – an unfettered glimpse into the mind of an eight-year-old boy smacking his toy soldiers together and shouting "Ninja kick!"
Just like the extended toy commercials that were the cartoon series, the sequel kicks off by introducing a whole new line of characters – played by Bruce Willis and The Rock, among others – and slaughtering the outdated old Joes. There are question marks over the fact that director John M Chu's CV includes the likes of Step Up 4 and Justin Bieber: Never Say Never – but we're prepared to give him a fair crack of the whip.
The Bourne Legacy
August 3rd 2012
Out with Matt Damon and in with The Hurt Locker's Jeremy Renner for The Bourne Legacy's lead role of Aaron Cross/Kenneth Kitson. Yup, it's based on the original novel but Jason Bourne has been written out along with Damon. Fear not though, with Ed Norton taking up the role of bad guy (hopefully with some American History X style intensity), it should be a winner.
The Expendables 2
August 17th 2012
It's all about the action, and the action stars, for this Sylvester Stallone starring sequel. Arnold Schwarzenegger has come out of acting retirement to reprise his role as Trench – this time with some actual screentime instead of a cameo. Add this list of action heroes and it becomes a must-see: (breathe in) Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Jean-Claude Van Damme, Jet Li, Chuck Norris, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Randy Couture (and exhale).
August 17th 2012
Disney and Pixar's summer offering comes in the form of a red-headed Princess. Merida has to be brave, and fight her kingdom's traditions using her wit and archery skills so as to avoid chaos and stop a beastly curse. With Skyrim and Game of Thrones peaking in popularity this Celtic-looking toon could be another winner for Pixar et al.
Total Recall
August 24th 2012
A remake of an Arnold Schwarzenegger film is a tough nut to crack – unless it's Hercules in New York. Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, and Jessica Biel plan – apparently – to use good looks and Minority Report style action to blow us far enough away from the original Total Recall that we won't even mind if the girl with three breasts doesn't make an appearance. Good luck, chaps.
Premium Rush
September 28th 2012
The prince of Indie film, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, has somehow managed – following G.I. JOE and The Dark Knight Rises – to do yet another action film. Premium Rush follows a bike courier who is chased around New York by a dirty cop who's after the envelope he is trying to deliver. Cool fixie bike tricks will draw in the Hoxton crowds while bike chain swinging destruction should get in the extreme sports fans.
September 28th 2012
And Joseph Gordon-Levitt has managed yet another film this summer. Looper is a sci-fi flick set in a 2042 gangland where Levitt plays a mob killer who whacks people sent back from 2072. When he recognises one of the victims (played by Bruce Willis) as his future self he hesitates on the kill.
The story alone sold us – then we heard it was written and directed by Rian Johnson of Brick and The Brothers Bloom fame, and now we're itching for a release. Though whether the prosthetics that are supposed to turn Gordon-Levitt into a young Bruce Willis will hold up to scrutiny are another matter.

Paul McCartney has released a behind-the-scenes film created during the making of the video for a new track titled "Queenie Eye," from his NEW album. The six-minute clip features a large cast of celebrities, including Johnny Depp, Kate Moss, Jude Law and Meryl Streep.
In one segment, McCartney explains how "Queenie Eye" was inspired by a children's game he played when he was growing up in Liverpool. He also shares memories of working with Sir George Martin and The Beatles at Abbey Road studios, where the current film footage was recorded. His recollection of recording "Love Me Do," The Beatles' first single, is especially enchanting.
The lead vocal line had originally been Lennon's—but Martin insisted McCartney sing it in order to free Lennon up on harmonica. "I'm in Abbey Road, first time ever, and I've got to take this lead vocal line, and I know that all the guys back in Liverpool in all the other groups are going to kill me, because it's not my line," says McCartney. "It's John's line. So, I can still hear, [in a nervous voice] 'Love me do-oo--o,' because I'm standing right here, terrified out my wits, trying to pretend I'm not."
Watch the full clip below.

Eagles bear cold for lopsided win
High school track and field is known for being a spring sport. However, Tuesday it felt more like a winter sport.
Churubusco girls and boys opened the outdoor season at home amid bone-chilling temperatures in the 40s.
When the Eagles weren't spending time between events applying layers of clothing to fight the cold, they were busy warming up the track for the season.
The dual meet was the first of only four at home for 'Busco this season. Two come next week with Northfield Monday and Heritage Wednesday.
'Busco boys surrendered only three points to the Lakeland Christian Academy Tuesday winning 128-3. The Lady Eagles had control of their meet from the outset 88-42.
The boys claimed first-place in all 16 events taking place Tuesday night.
Senior Jeremy Forker led them all with three wins. Forker jumped 5-feet, 6-inches in the high jump to win the event.
Along with a win in the 400-meter (54.4), Forker returned in the 100 to run a first-place time of 11.57.
The seniors continued to lead the way for Churubusco boys.
Kyle Monk swept the hurdle events running one of his strongest times in the 300 hurdles. Monk finished in a time of 41.9 to beat out teammate Josh LeFever who took second at 43.6.
LeFever got his own victory on the night with his throw of 111-8 in the discus.
Senior Zack Armstead made a strong debut at the pole vault reaching 12-feet and narrowly missing at 12-6.
Armstead was ahead of teammate Austin Hively who completed a jump at 10-feet.
Hively's time of 2:28 in the 800 topped the field down the stretch to win the event.
'Busco allowed just three points in the sprinting events.
Senior Kyle Mathewson was the fastest in the 200 with his time of 23.51.
Other wins for the Eagles included Austin McClure in the shot put (45-6), Connor Hogeston in the 1600 (5:20), Davon Geiger in the 3200 (12:01).
Six different Lady Eagles posted wins Tuesday.
The deepest event for Churubusco came in the throwing events with sisters Heather Monk and Katie Monk teaming up with Erica Lehner to sweep both the discus and shot put.
Junior Heather Monk led the way taking the discus at 122-10 and the shot put with her heave of 32-6.
Lehner came in close behind Monk for second in the shot put at 32-1 1/2 and 103-0 for the discus.
Freshman Katie Monk fell in line at third. Her throw in the shot put was 30-3 while taking a mark of 94-10 in the discus.
Heather Monk finished third in the 100 while teammate Peyton Summers took the top spot at 13.22.
Churubusco girls numbers doubled this year thanks to a strong freshman class.
Danielle Pippenger was one of those Lady Eagles making a winning debut. Pippenger won the high jump at 4-4 while also placing second in the long jump at 14-7 1/2.
Emma Frericks's win in the pole vault (7-6) was coupled with a second-place finish in the 100 hurdles (19.84).
Frericks finished ahead of teammate Haleigh Gross in the pole vault with Gross jumping 7-0 for second.
Other wins were: Nicole Wormcastle in the 400 (1:10) and Alex Eyer in the 3200 (14:07).

OLYMPIA, Washington (Reuters) - Heavy rain and snowfall hampered search efforts for two missing hikers in Washington state on Wednesday, including a woman on a solo hike from Mexico to Canada on the Pacific Crest Trail and a man who was exploring caves, authorities said.
A day earlier, rescuers used a helicopter to pluck two other hikers from heavy snowfall on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Alejandra Wilson, 23, of Oregon was walking the Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada when she failed to check in with her father on Monday as planned from White Pass, a mountain locale in Washington state about 140 miles northeast of Portland, authorities said.
Rescuers do not know the exact whereabouts of Wilson, who was hiking alone amid heavy snow in the area when she fell out of contact, said Scamania County chief criminal deputy Pat Bond.
The Pacific Crest Trail is a hiking and equestrian pathway that runs along the Sierra Nevada and Cascade mountain ranges along the length of the western United States, covering over 2,660 miles between Mexico and Canada.
Stormy weather coupled with deep snow in the region where Wilson went missing has prevented authorities from sending in aircraft or ground personnel to locate her, but they hope to do that on Wednesday, he said.
"We can't get anybody up yet, the weather is still too bad," Bond said. "She was well equipped, it's entirely possible that she's fine and just sitting down and waiting out the weather."
The second missing hiker, 31-year-old Kristopher Zitzewitz of Oregon, became separated from his hiking partner on Saturday as they went caving in the Big Lava Beds area of Gifford Pinchot National Forest in central Washington state near Mount Rainier, Bond said.
"The lava beds are a very treacherous area," Bond said. "It's easy to get turned around in there."
Between 15 and 40 searchers have been looking for Zitzewitz on the ground since Saturday, Bond said, though heavy rain and low clouds have prevented aircraft from assisting in the search.
U.S. Air Force Special Operations members have joined in the effort, he said.
Rescuers in a helicopter on Tuesday evening picked up two other hikers in southwest Washington state, Bond said. They also were traversing the Pacific Crest Trail.
Matthew Margiotta of Illinois and Kyla Arnold of Missouri had set out from Mexico and were traveling to Canada when they woke up Monday morning north of the small town of Trout Lake to two feet of snow, Bond said. They called authorities by cell phone to say they needed rescuing.

Beyonce's Super Bowl half-time show outfit had to be constantly taken in because the star lost so much weight while rehearsing for the main event.
The Single Ladies hitmaker wowed football fans on Sunday (03Feb13) by reuniting with her Destiny's Child bandmates for an electrifying performance in a black leather bodysuit, complete with python and lace insets, created by Rubin Singer.
And the stylist admits he was always doing alterations to keep up with the 31 year old's ever-changing body.
He tells Entertainment Tonight, "When a performer is working so vigorously, they're shrinking constantly, and so she was losing weight every day. So we had to keep taking it in and taking it in and taking it in and doing tweaks and changes."
Meanwhile, Singer reveals it took about 14 people and 200 man hours to perfect Beyonce's look and create outfits for Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams and her 120 backup dancers.

This modern-day plague was first identified in 1975, after a large cluster of children living around the rural community of Lyme, Connecticut, suffered an outbreak of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Seven years later, Dr Willy Burgdorfer, Scientist Emeritus of the US National Institutes of Health and leading researcher into human diseases and the animal organisms that transmit them, discovered the causative agent.
Suspecting some infective insect carrier of the disease, Burgdorfer found a spirochaete (a spiral-shaped bacterium) of the genus Borrelia, similar to the syphilis spirochaete, living in the gut of the Ixodes ticks in the area and, through tests with LD victims, linked them to the disease. These ticks ordinarily feast off the blood of mice, deer, birds and other animals. This particular spirochaete - Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb) - now bears his name.
However, the 'Lyme' tick is not the only transmitter of the disease. The Bb spirochaete can also be transmitted by fleas, mosquitoes and mites. Furthermore, the disease does not require the insect to bite and infect you.
There is some evidence that it can be transmitted between humans either through sex or in the womb. There is even the possibility that it can be transmitted through food. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin have found that dairy cattle and other animals in the human food chain can be infected and pass it on. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, believes that Bb can even survive the purification processes of donated blood and so can also be passed through blood transfusion.
What are the symptoms?
Lyme disease can masquerade as many other degenerative illnesses, particularly those characteristic of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS; which Stephen Hawking has).
Suspect Lyme disease if you have chronic fatigue, ALS or other degenerative disease, or even a sudden onset of heart problems or transient ischaemic attacks. Many Parkinson's patients test positive for Lyme. Dr Atanas Tzonkov, director of the largest private medical clinic in Bulgaria (where LD is rampant) has successfully treated more than a hundred conditions as misdiagnosed cases of LD.
What doctors tell you
Lyme disease is often treated with long courses of antibiotics, but doctors vastly overplay the success rates. Spirochaetes can survive even long-term antibiotic therapy and remain in cells, beyond the immune system's reach (Liegner K et al., Abstract 63; Masters E et al., Abstract 65; Fifth International Conference on Lyme Borreliosis, 1992). Long-term antibiotics often leave the patient in an even worse state.

Sacramento Semester Internship Program, $50,000
The Sacramento Semester Program is an undergraduate internship program of Sacramento State which each spring semester places students in a variety of state government and legislative internship positions in Sacramento. Participants earn six units in internship credit plus six units in an accompanying seminar course in state government and politics, which allows participants to integrate their practical internship experience with academic work. The Sacramento Semester Program is open to students from throughout the CSU as well as other universities. Typically, many alumni of the Sacramento Semester Program apply to one or more of the Capital Fellows Programs once they graduate. Participation in the program has declined in recent years. Again, the data indicates the decline is a function of economics. Most CSU students pay for their education by holding part or full time employment. Participating in the Sacramento Semester Program thus demands that a student not only move to Sacramento, but also abandon the very jobs that allow them to attend university. The funding provides financial aid to approximately 15 Sacramento Semester students each year totaling $3,600 each (i.e., an amount approximating the fees and room and board for one semester at Sacramento State). This enables more students of limited economic resources to participate in the Sacramento Semester Program and, in turn, creates a larger pool for Capital Fellows Programs applicants in the future. Administrative overhead is included.

Write It Wednesday - Analyzing Matters
Lesson 8 of 10
Objective: Students will be able to analyze and critique the proportional reasoning of others.
Big Idea: Students will have the opportunity to continue their critique of the reasoning of others and sharpen their own problem-solving skills with a set of problems.
To begin the class, I will respond to the exit tickets students wrote as they left class the previous day. I want to take time to answer any questions students wrote about the vocabulary we covered for unit rate. Are there concepts that they didn't quite grasp? Is further explanation needed? We can ask groups to volunteer to demonstrate their response to the Show Card activity from the Unit Rate Introduction lesson and allow students to ask specific questions if needed to provide clarification.
Resources (2)
Resources (2)
Students will complete a WriteItWednesday question using a unit rate. After completing the question, students will trade papers and score a classmate's response using the rubric (the rubric can be found in my strategy folder).
John's collection contains US, Indian, and British stamps. If the ratio of US to Indian stamps is 5 to 2, and the ratio of Indian to British stamps is 5 to 1, what is the ratio of US to British stamps?
After papers have been scored and the feedback has been read, we will share responses with the whole group. Students will have a to see the solution to the problem along with the different strategies other students used to solve the problem (MP3).
Resources (4)
To summarize the lesson, have students do a Think, Pair, Share: Think about what you will do differently to solve a problem using proportional reasoning than you did before this lesson. Then have them pair with a partner and decide what strategy/idea they will do differently. Share strategies with the class.

We hold collections of national importance in African languages. Holdings of books are particularly strong in Swahili, Afrikaans, Hausa, Igbo, Somali, Sotho, Xhosa, Yoruba and Zulu, although publications in many other languages, from all over the continent, are also held.
African languages in the British Library
The historical collections are particularly important. We hold many early published works in African languages, printed both in Africa and Europe, particularly the UK. Collecting continued through the 20th century so that, for example, we hold a good collection of publications in Swahili for the early independence period in Tanzania. Today, we continue to collect publications in a range of African languages.
The Library has many examples of early translations of the Bible into African languages - often the first rendering (however imperfect) of a particular language into written form - together with a large collection of grammars and dictionaries of African languages. Our holdings also cover a wide range of other subjects including fiction, drama, history and politics. In recent years, we have also collected samples of information literature and pamphlets in African languages. Some government publications have also appeared in African languages, particularly Swahili and Afrikaans.
How to find African language material
Published works in most African languages are included in Explore the British Library. To search for works in a specific language published from the early 1980s onwards, select the relevant option on the language menu on the advanced search page. Older works can also be located in Explore the British Library. If you wish to search by language, keyword searching is recommended.
Scripts and manuscripts
Works in African languages in non-roman script, particularly Amharic, can be located through the card index in the Asian and African Studies Reading Room.
The British Library also holds manuscript material from Africa in Arabic and in African languages, particularly Swahili, in Arabic script. There are very significant collections of Ethiopic manuscripts. Other holdings include an early table of the Vai script from Liberia, recorded by a British naval officer in 1849 (Add. 17,817).
Other formats
Much material in African languages is held in the form of sound recordings by the British Library Sound Archive. Some newspapers, or parts of newspapers, also feature African languages.
See also
For Afrikaans, see also the Dutch pages. For Arabic, see the British Library's Arabic collections.
The Library of the School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London, also holds very significant collections of African language material.
The British Library's holdings also include published material on the history and culture of immigrant communities to Africa from Asia (Malays, Indians and Chinese) and from Europe (Jews), who produced literature in Africa in their own languages (Malay, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Chinese and Yiddish); studies of these communities are also held. To trace these works, see the relevant language pages.

If you do not believe that one amendment is absolute in the rights it conveys, then why do so many of you oppose our rights to bear arms and not even question all other of our other amendments? Also, why are you not questioning your rights to free speech, the First Amendment? Should we do away with that as it seems to be a huge one for the media.
The only question that ever comes about what supposedly needs rewritten is around the Second Amendment. Why? It is said by those who oppose the Second Amendment that we should rewrite it or abolish it because it is outdated. Why? Because those same folks do not have a clue what our amendments stand for, in their entirety.
Those amendments, all of them, were written with reasons in mind, and those reasons still stand the test of time if anybody will read why they were written all of the amendments, not just the second. The Second Amendment is, always was, and always should be, protected as the Supreme Court has done in the past. Let us hope that this new liberal Supreme Court does not fail the people and overturn anything that was decided in the past by our supposed law-of-the-land-setting Supreme Court.

I know everyone was just as shocked and devastated (seems to be the word of the week) as I was to find out about Heath Ledger. I haven't been near a television all week and resorted, last-night, to surfing the web for info or updates of unfolding details about his death. And I have to say I am so disgusted at how the media has not only handled their coverage but with such insensitivity and blatant disregard for the feelings and grief of family members and close friends.
I found so many disgusting images on the web from this week. The most horrific comes from the smut-trash hub TMZ with their "Sad Day In Brooklyn" video (which I refuse to link), where you see, first, Keri Russell being harassed by a woman who corners her on the sidewalk barking "Come on Keri! OK Magazine! Give us a comment!" Followed by the most disturbing I've seen yet of a sobbing Mrs. Williams being escorted to the Bklyn residence with paparazzi stepping all over her, stating the entire time (with cameras flashing) "Sorry Mrs. Williams...sorry about this," as they snapped away. All the while an outraged Bklyn resident yelling from her window "LEAVE-HER-ALONE!!"
There's Lindsay Lohan, who upon learning of his death, is escorted out the back of an LA restaurant completely breaking down when a photographer screams right in her face "HEATH'S DEAD LINDSAY! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THAT!?" This person has just found out someone they loved has died and your yelling at her? For what? A sound byte? A money shot? Disgusting.
Obviously Michele Williams returning home to a hoard of awaiting press, daughter clutched in her arms, is beyond disturbing. I couldn't even watch that one.
I was outraged to see that a boycott of Heath's funeral was being planned by the same ignorant-fuck "Minister" who we saw protesting Matthew Shepard's funeral years ago. Fox News' John Gibson joking about Heath's death on his radio show was the pinnacle of disgust for me this week, only made worst by his half-ass apology the network forced him to give after refusing to say he was sorry the day before. BEYOND disgusting.
I am happy to say though I did see a lot of beautiful reflections of Heath this week. Watching Daniel Day Lewis speak about him on Oprah brought a tear to my eye, as did John Travolta's heartfelt comments of the actor he so admired, calling him his "inspiration."
It all seems so crazy to me. I know we live in a media driven, celebrity obsessed, information kind of day and age- but someone has died. I don't know...it all just seems in such poor taste and I can't help but wonder if it's going to get worst before it gets better. With companies such as Best Buy and Netflix pouring advertising dollars in to sites like TMZ, I'm afraid no change will occur soon.
So, in lieu of letting the media shape my feelings this week about losing one of my favorite actors and exposing you to yet another negative image surrounding Heath's death, I'm going to share with you a playful interview I saw a couple years back from Ellen where a new father gushed proudly of his daughter and the excitement of being nominated for an Oscar. This is how I choose to remember Heath Ledger. Fuck that media circus.

DETROIT (Reuters) - German automaker Bayerische Motoren Werke AG is recalling 140,000 5 Series sedans in North America to address potentially faulty rear lights.
Some 134,100 vehicles will be recalled in the United States and another 5,800 in Canada, a spokesman at BMW's Munich-based headquarters told Reuters on Friday.
BMW is recalling some 528i, 535i, 550i and M5 cars from model years 2008 through 2010 because of problems with the tail light electrical contact points, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. That in turn could result in an intermittent or permanent loss of one or more of the lights' functions.
BMW has not received any reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue, according to the NHTSA documents.
BMW dealers will replace the rear lamp bulb carriers free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in October, according to the NHTSA documents.

Big Bang for beginners-8: Star formation and dark matter
(My latest book God vs. Darwin: The War Between Evolution and Creationism in the Classroom has just been released and is now available through the usual outlets. You can order it from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, the publishers Rowman & Littlefield, and also through your local bookstores. For more on the book, see here. You can also listen to the podcast of the interview on WCPN 90.3 about the book.)
For previous posts in this series, see here.
In the study of our universe so far, one fact becomes resoundingly clear. Humans occupy a tiny volume of the universe. All our scientific theories have been discovered using data that has been generated within that volume. What gives us the confidence that these same laws can be applied to distant regions as well? One answer is that we have no choice but to make that assumption. Another is that when do make such an extrapolation we get a reasonably satisfactory understanding of the behavior of distant stars and galaxies, thus justifying our decision.
But perhaps the most important reason is the Hubble result discussed earlier, that every distant galaxy is moving away from us with a speed that is proportional to the distance from us. This could only happen if either the Earth occupied a privileged place in the universe or if the universe was such that there is no such privileged place at all and every point in the universe is equivalent. The former option has been abandoned ever since the Copernican revolution. Since the location of the Earth is no different from any other point, the laws we discover here must be the same laws that apply everywhere.
This leads to what is called the Cosmological Principle, the idea that the universe is homogenous (i.e., is the same irrespective of which point in the universe we may happen to find ourselves in) and isotropic (i.e., looks the same irrespective of which direction in the sky we choose to look). But it is not assumed that the density of the universe is a constant in time, which distinguishes it from the Perfect Cosmological Principle that led to the Steady State theory. In fact, the Big Bang theory explicitly argues that the universe is continuously expanding and getting less dense as it does so.
Of course, the homogeneity and isotropy of the universe is true only on a large enough scale. On small scales, we see all kinds of non-uniformities. After all, most of space is empty with just a few pockets of dense matter consisting of stars, planets, and galaxies. For example, there is no planet like Earth anywhere near us, and when we look out at the night sky, the direction that contains the plane of our local galaxy (the Milky Way) looks very different from what we see when we look in other directions.
Furthermore, even on a large scale, the universe cannot be perfectly homogenous and isotropic because that would not have allowed for the matter that existed at the time of the Big Bang to eventually separate into the clumps that eventually led to stars and galaxies. In order to explain star formation, cosmological theories predict that the early universe must have had slight inhomogeneities and that there should be visible traces of this history. If we look out into the universe and measure its temperature in all directions, there should be very slight variations in temperature, of the order of one part in a hundred thousand. The Cosmic Microwave Background Explorer (COBE) satellite was launched in 1989 to investigate this and its results released in 1992 found just this variation, further supporting the Big Bang theory. In the image below, the changes in color show the minute temperature variation of the cosmic microwave background radiation, which corresponds to the density variation.
Although the Big Bang cosmological theory has been very successful, along the way some problems have arisen that have led to interesting developments. One problem was with the motion of stars on the outer edges of rotating spiral galaxies. If we apply established theories of gravity and assume that all the mass in the universe is what we can 'see' (i.e., matter we are already familiar with and can be observed by our detectors because they emit electromagnetic radiation), then we can calculate the speeds those stars should have. But the pattern of speeds that were observed does not agree with those predictions. The problem can be solved if we assume that there exists matter that we cannot see, i.e., matter that is outside the detection range of our detectors, although it still exerts gravitational forces since it has mass. For this reason, this new form of matter has been given the name 'dark matter'.
This so-called 'dark matter' has still not been directly detected but fairly strong circumstantial evidence has convinced most physicists that it should exist and that there is a lot it around. The amount of dark matter present is currently estimated to be about five times the visible matter that we know about and can see. Of course, if it is the dominant form of matter in the universe, then it becomes vital that we learn more about it and major efforts are underway to try and detect it. The difficulty with this endeavor, of course, is that while this dark matter may consist of things that we are familiar with (such as dust grains, nuclei, and small rocks), it is also quite possible that this matter consists of entities unlike anything that we have encountered before. So we are in a very real sense searching in the dark, not really knowing what we are looking for, how we should look, and how we will know if we have detected it. All we really know is that there seems to be a hell of a lot of it.
But that is just the kind of puzzle that scientists relish and major efforts are currently underway to solve it.
Next: If the dark matter puzzle isn't enough to keep scientists busy, we now have dark energy.

Heck yeah! Janna's back on top. PHOTO: Christy Chaloux
The Roxy Chicken Jam slopestyle was on today at Mammoth after yesterdays wind delay shut down the comp. Janna Meyen came back full force confidently winning the whole thing. She had dominated the US Open Slopestyle the week before but was taken down just before finals with a nasty hipper on the rail. That hip didn't even phase her today as she put together a solid run that included a back 5, a Cab 7 mute, a Cab 5 mute, and a rock to fakie on the wallride that earned her the Zumiez best trick award. No big deal.
Roxy Chicken Jam Results:
1. Janna Meyen
2. Jenny Jones
3. Lisa Wiik
Saturday's pipe winner Kelly Clark walked away with the Swatch TTR Champion Title joining Peetu Piiroinen, the men's world champ. Kelly was followed by Lisa Wiik in second place, and the injured Jamie Anderson in third. The three girls together walked with $90,000.

WASHINGTON — Just before Air Force One begins its descent, a group of agents huddle in a cabin near the back to study a map, a diagram and a step-by-step itinerary detailing the president's every move once he steps off the plane.
It is an old ritual, this last operational run-through for the special agents of the presidential protective division, the most elite of the Secret Service agents and the last barrier between the commander in chief and a host of threats. This ritual is a big reason President Obama has been so reluctant to criticize the Secret Service, as the agency reels from a scandal over suspected misconduct involving prostitutes during a trip to Cartagena, Colombia.
"How do you stand up and criticize people who have pledged to take a bullet for you?" one administration official said on Friday, speaking on the grounds of anonymity.
The White House press secretary, Jay Carney, added during his umpteenth briefing to be dominated by questions about the Secret Service, "The president does, as I've said before, have faith in the Secret Service and high regard for the agency and the job that they do protecting him, his family, protecting his predecessors."
Mr. Carney called it "an enormously difficult job," one that involves "putting your life on the line regularly, being willing to sacrifice yourself for the sake not just of an individual, but for the trauma that any kind of harm that might come to a president would cause a nation."Continue reading the main story
And therein, administration officials say, lies the rub. Mr. Obama, as he said himself the one time he addressed the scandal, would be "angry" if the accusations are proved true. But at the same time, the president and his aides are skittish about publicly lambasting the same agents who put themselves in harm's way on their behalf.
Of course, there is a difference between the elite agents on Air Force One, who so far have not been implicated in the scandal, and the agents who were sent home from Cartagena. The elite agents see Mr. Obama day in and day out. They are with him on the golf course, the basketball court, the rope line, the giant auditoriums in big cities and the unannounced street walkabouts in rural areas. They stand between the president and reporters at Andrews Air Force Base when he is disembarking from Marine One.
The elite agents have expressed deep anger in private conversations since the scandal broke, taking pains to note the difference between themselves and the agents who got into trouble in Cartagena, who had more peripheral duties. When a reporter yelled, "Should Director Sullivan resign?" at Mr. Obama during a Rose Garden ceremony last week, referring to the Secret Service director, Mark Sullivan, several of the elite agents visibly stiffened.
"It's been an affront to their image," a second administration official said.
Mr. Obama and his detail have been keenly aware of the risks inherent in the job of protecting the first black president and his family. That has been true since Mr. Obama started receiving Secret Service protection in the spring of 2007, nine months before the Democratic primaries began.
Once in office, Mr. Obama often joked about the level of protection, including his famous "Here, I'd get shot" line when he wondered aloud, after news broke about the arrest of a black Harvard professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., in front of his home in 2009, what would happen to him if he tried to break into his own house, before remembering that he lived in the White House.
Unlike President Bill Clinton, who was often spotted arguing with his Secret Service lead agent because he wanted to greet a crowd that had not been "swept," Mr. Obama, for the most part, does what his agents tell him to do. On the campaign trail, Mr. Obama routinely mentions the Secret Service, often lamenting light-heartedly that they will not let him drive a car or ride a motorcycle.
His relationship with Mr. Sullivan is close and cordial. Mr. Sullivan, according to Ronald Kessler, the author of "In the President's Secret Service: Behind the Scenes with Agents in the Line of Fire and the Presidents They Protect" and the man who broke the story about the episode in Cartagena after receiving a tip from an agent, has worked to "cultivate his relations with Congress and with Obama."
The relationship between Mr. Obama and the Secret Service becomes particularly noteworthy when viewed through the prism of the series of mishaps that have taken place during the Obama presidency.
First, there were the party crashers, Michaele and Tareq Salahi, the couple who, sans invitation and with their names nowhere on the guest list, somehow made it through security at the first state dinner in 2009. They made it all the way to the receiving line, where they shook hands with the president and first lady before gaily posing for photos with other dignitaries under sparkling lights on the White House grounds.
Two years later, a 21-year-old named Oscar Ramiro Ortega-Hernandez, was indicted on charges of firing a semiautomatic rifle at the White House, with the Secret Service reporting that at least one bullet had struck the presidential residence. (Shortly after that, the Secret Service temporarily closed the north entrance after a smoke bomb was thrown on the lawn.)
Mr. Kessler does not blame the Secret Service in the shooting but says it must take responsibility for the crashing of the state dinner and the caper in Cartagena. The president, Mr. Kessler says, "is not taking stronger action, and did not take action after the Salahi incident, because he's protected by these agents who are very impressive, very dedicated, and he's grateful."
But he noted that Mr. Sullivan, so far at least, has survived all three instances with his job still intact, despite calls for him to resign.
Representative Peter T. King, the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security, said Mr. Sullivan has gone out of his way to make himself accessible to members of Congress. "He woke me up at 5:15 in the morning this week," Mr. King said in an interview. "I felt like telling him, 'Mark, let me sleep.' "
Mr. Sullivan, Mr. King said, has been "very angry this week — damage has been done to Secret Service's reputation."Continue reading the main story

Welcome to the Warm Colors Apiary website. WCA produces and sells honey, pure beeswax candles, and products using honey and beeswax. We provide pollination services to local orchards and farms. Beekeepers can purchase queens and honeybees, equipment and bee supplies, and attend workshops in Warm Colors bee yards. In other words, most activities involving honeybees happen at our apiary.
Warm Colors Apiary was founded in 2000 to produce regional honey in western Massachusetts. Located on eighty acres of woodland, open fields, and wetlands, the land provides a variety and abundance of nectar & pollen plants that bloom from early spring to late fall. Having a location with flowering plants blooming successively throughout the warm months makes our apiary ideal for honey production and the raising of honeybees.
Our mission is to develop, test and use beekeeping methods that improve the health of the honeybee. Through selective breeding, we endeavor to manage a sustainable apiary system that minimizes the use of harmful chemicals and employ the natural defenses and heritable behaviors shown to improve the honeybees mite tolerance and resistance to disease.
Our goals include raising honeybees capable of surviving the rigors of a New England winter and having the individual & social immunities to withstand the stresses associated with honeybee decline. Our work focuses on using the best available breeding stock, providing natural sources of forage and nutrition, and the early detection and prevention of disease and pests. Proactive management that reduces stress and the resulting problems, before they become too serious to correct, is our long-range goal.
Seasonal Information for 2018
We are wrapping up Nuc handouts. Please email or call if you have not scheduled a pickup date. We are handing out Nucs on Friday 5/25 and Saturday 5/26 between 9 AM and 12 noon. Next Nuc pickups will be Wednesday 6/6, and Friday 6/8 between 9 AM – 12 noon.
We have sold out of package bees and Russian Nucs. We are no longer taking orders for 2018. Queens will be available in June.
Sorry, we have reached our workshop capacity – no new registrations."Queen Rearing for Small Apiaries" Dr. Lawrence Connor is returning to present his three-day (June 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) queen workshop. Learn from an expert the art of raising queens. – see WORKSHOPS
For the Beekeepers
Warm Colors stocks beekeeping equipment for pickup at our South Deerfield store. We are distributors for Brushy Mountain Bee Farm, Mann Lake Inc. and Starhart Hollow woodenware and bee supplies. This allows us to mix the best products from each manufacturer, giving beekeepers more choice and lower prices.
WCA continues to offer many workshops and classes that provide training and education to beekeepers at all levels of experience. We have hosted many nationally known instructors combining lectures with hands-on, how to lessons. See the Workshop page for this season's programs.
Knowledge + Management = healthy bees.

In a me-first world, Murphy was so desperate to contribute last year he volunteered for scout team duties. Quarterbacks came and went like a blur. Five quarterbacks had taken snaps at Florida since he arrived, and he wasn't one of them.
He likes it here.
That's why Tyler Murphy stayed when so many quarterbacks would have left.
He likes it here.
"He's built a home here," said receiver Quinton Dunbar. "He's afraid to leave. He has too many friends here."
In a me-first world, Murphy was so desperate to contribute last year he volunteered for scout team duties. Quarterbacks came and went like a blur. Five quarterbacks had taken snaps at Florida since he arrived, and he wasn't one of them.
Instead of taking his ball and going home, he waited for his chance. The first opportunity came in the preseason when Jeff Driskel's appendectomy gave Murphy more than a week of repetitions with the first team. The second came after Miami when he got some more reps while Driskel nursed a sore left knee.
Each time, he took advantage. And when the unthinkable happened Saturday against Tennessee — Driskel's season ending only nine quarters into the season — Murphy was more ready than any of us thought he could be.
"(Driskel's) a good friend of mine," Murphy said. "You never want to see a guy go down. I was hoping it wasn't anything serious."
Suddenly, it was his time.
There were some mistakes during a first half that looked like the two teams were auditioning for "America's Funniest Home Videos." But there were plenty of big plays and 218 yards of total offense that saved the day for a Florida football team that appeared headed for a second straight disaster.
Murphy's Law owned the first half. Murphy's Karma won the second.
Because this fourth-year junior stayed at UF, Florida's season still has a pulse. It's ugly behind him with no quarterbacks who have ever taken a college snap. But the perseverance of Tyler Murphy saved Florida on a steamy Saturday in The Swamp.
"It was in the back of my mind that I might never play," he said. "People wanted me to change positions. I like playing quarterback. I had people telling me to transfer. It's something I considered. But my dad encouraged me to stay."
He lined up at wide receiver in a game last year. He has held for field goals and extra points.
Now, he's the Gator Nation's quarterback.
"I never really pictured me standing here at the podium," he said during interviews after the game.
Who would have dreamed he would be trending on Twitter on Saturday?
"I don't know what that means," coach Will Muschamp said. "I hope that's good."
Florida's hopes now rest with a quarterback who recruited Florida rather than the other way around. As a senior quarterback in Wethersfield, Conn., Murphy was committed to Temple but sent tapes to Florida.
When Urban Meyer and Steve Addazio called, he thought someone was pulling a prank on him.
When they offered him a scholarship, he was bowled over.
"It was a blessing," Murphy said.
There were three quarterbacks ahead of him the first year. There were three quarterbacks ahead of him his second year. Last year, there were only two.
"It was tough sitting on the sidelines," he said. "But I've never been afraid of competition."
He knew he was getting better. As the second-team quarterback, he got more chances to show it. Murphy is one of those film study freaks who immediately watches video of practice as soon as practice is over.
"He prepares himself like a starter," Dunbar said. "You go in there any time of day and he's in the film room."
Against Tennessee, Murphy made some nifty scrambles and some accurate throws. He scored once and threw a short pass that turned into a 52-yard touchdown because Solomon Patton is turning into a playmaker.
But where Murphy was at his best was not with his feet or his arm but his poise. In front of 90,000 people on national TV, he directed two long second-half drives that pretty much put the game away.
"It's one thing when you get thrust in there and another when you have time (at halftime) to think about it," Muschamp said.
Fortunately for Florida, Murphy was ready when he had to be. Fortunately for Florida, he's a patient young man.
Fortunately for Florida, he likes it here.

Clarkson Smothers Yale To Take 4-1 Win
Jan. 17, 2009
Courtesy of Yale
POTSDAM, N.Y. -- After knocking off Clarkson 3-2 at Ingalls Rink earlier this season, Yale came out firing Friday night at Cheel Arena looking for another victory over the Golden Knights. A power-play goal by freshman forward Aleca Hughes gave the Bulldogs a 1-0 lead midway through the first period, but after that the Golden Knights seized control. After an eight-shot first period, Yale got only nine shots the rest of the way as Clarkson pulled away for a 4-1 win.
Freshman goalie Genny Ladiges was tested right away on the first Yale penalty kill, but came up with two big saves en route to making 21 for the night. Senior forward Crysti Howser then blocked a shot, and senior defenseman Helen Resor helped finish off the kill by taking the puck all the way down to the other end of the ice. She skated through the Golden Knights defense and got off a wrister that Lauren Dahm had to make a glove save on.
Yale (7-10-0, 3-7-0 ECAC Hockey) took advantage of its second power play to go in front. Howser and senior forward Danielle Kozlowski cycled the puck in the right circle, freeing up Howser for a wrister that Hughes deflected in high at the 11:34 mark.
Ladiges made another nice save with two minutes to play in the first, smothering a hard wrister from low in the right circle by forward Genevieve Lavoie. But a minute later forward Juana Baribeau got behind the Yale defense with a pass in the neutral zone and skated in alone on Ladiges. Ladiges got a piece of the shot, but not enough to prevent it from trickling in to tie the game at one.
Clarkson (11-6-4, 5-2-2 ECAC Hockey) nearly went ahead right before the period ended, but Ladiges sticked aside a tricky backhander from forward Melissa Waldie and the score remained tied at one.
Clarkson jumped in front 2:14 into the second period, as forward Marie-Jo Gaudet banged home a centering pass from forward Britney Selina. The Golden Knights added to the lead with a goal at 9:54 by Selina off a pass from Gaudet. That touched off a big celebration by those two, who both reached the 100 career point mark on the play.
The frustrating second period saw Yale put just two shots on net, despite having the only two power plays of the frame. The Golden Knights put the game out of reach with a power-play goal at 12:56 of the third from defenseman Kimberly McKenney, which snapped a streak of 22 consecutive successful penalty kills for Yale.
Yale plays at No. 5 St. Lawrence Saturday at 4:00 p.m.

Sunshine on the Ranch
Added Aug 15, 2011
by RoniBarr
Ganei Tikvah, Is...
My boyfriend's mom, knowing that I sew, lovingly offered to give me some of her old fabrics. Going through the box, I couldn't find much that caught my fancy until I saw this bright yellow pillow case. It was, well… not me.
But I fell in love with it and took it home and thought and thought about what I would make out of it. Lo and behold, this shirt was born! I drafted (and then re-drafted… there's not much fabric in a single pillow case) the pattern myself. This is the first time I shirred fabric. Pretty happy with the results. (I learned the hard way that I have to pay special attention to my butter fingers when winding the bobbin with elastic thread!)
Material Notes
One old pillow case. (Washed to get the dust out!)

Thanks. It took a bit of reworking the pattern to get it all to fit on the single pillowcase. It would have been nice to have a bit more fabric!

I love the results of elastic thread but hate working with it! I always get all romantic about making something with it, then as soon as I start sewing, I start swearing at myself for falling into that trap again! I am amazed you were able to get that done with ONE pillowcase- amazing. Very cute shirt- I love it!

Cracks me up though as one says they are '80% vegan' lol. Not sure how they arrived at that conclusion ?!
Wow! Six Vegan restaurants!!!
You are a lucky guy indeed!

Pre-Thai Kingdoms
Over the centuries leading up to the era of recorded history, Thailand was first peopled by Mon and Khmer groups and later by the Tai, an ethnic group that migrated from southern China to Vietnam and gradually into Laos and northern Thailand.
In the first millennium of the Common Era, Tai people had dispersed across Yunan, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar fragmenting into various linguistic sub sects.Relatively minor players in the region throughout this period, the Tai inhabited the northernmost reaches of Southeast Asia, sandwiched between the kingdoms of Nan Zhao, Pyu, and Angkor.
Beginning in around the 2nd century CE, the Srivijaya Empire of Sumatra expanded its reach up the Malaysian Peninsula into southern Thailand.Nakhon Si Thammarat and Chiaya, Surat Thani were founded during this period to facilitate trade across the Isthmus of Kra.
Around the 6th to the 9th centuries, the fertile central plains were inhabited by a Mon civilization known as Dvaravati.Distinct from its neighboring kingdoms of Chenla and Angkor, Dvaravati remains a mysterious civilization that established cities surrounded by moats and earthen walls, Lopburi serving as an important religious center and Nakhon Pathom near Bangkok possibly its 'capital'.While much is unknown about this realm, the Dvaravati had well established internal and external trading routes that were important to the development of Thailand and left a wealth of Buddhist artwork that testifies to the great influence Indian culture and religion had on the region.
From the 9th to the 11th centuries the Khmers of Angkor expanded their kingdom to include most of modern-day Thailand, with important provincial cities established at Phimai, Lopburi and even Nakhon Si Thammarat. Over several centuries many facets of the Khmer culture were imposed on/absorbed by the native population, which was becoming increasingly Tai as those populations migrated south.The temples at Phanom Rung, Phimai, and Lopburi are enduring testaments to this period of Thai history.
Throughout the reign of Angkor, Lopburi often asserted its independence and was clearly an important center for burgeoning Syam culture.The Chinese, who referred to emissaries from the region as representing "Hsien" or Siam (as it was apparently pronounced) documented a request from Lopburi requesting independence from Angkor as early as 1001.
In northern Thailand, Buddhist scholars from Lopburi founded a city-state known as Haripunjaya in Lamphun, northern Thailand around the 9th century (a Mon enclave that remained independent until the 13th century).Elsewhere in the north, the Tai people were fanning out and establishing their own city states, notably at Chiang Saen, where one of the first powerful Thai kingdoms, Lan Na, was originally established in the 12th century.The establishment of Lan Na, Sukhothai, and Phayao, three allied kingdoms founded by contemporary leaders, represents the beginning of the Thai history as we know it.

Well Anyone have a sugestion?
2. Re: DG41TY Ram issue, works only with 1 dimmintelligent Jan 1, 2010 9:39 PM (in response to Mr_Scary)
Hi Mr_Scary,
What happens when you boot with just one RAM. The DDR2 memory that you put in will have 800 MHz frequency, but on board the default frequency will be 667 MHz. If possible try booting with a 667 MHz frequency DDR2 RAM.
But first check the RAM on another computer. Have you contacted the computer seller. What did he say? When testing the RAM use the bare minimum configuration i.e. Cabinet, Motherboard, Processor setup. Do not connect any other devices. And make sure the board is not shorting with any other metallic part. If take the M/B outside the cabinet and try booting with one RAM first, then with both the RAMs. Interchange the slots and try one at a time. Tell me what happned?
I noticed this problem with the DG41TY motherboard. I don't know if others too have noticed this or not. Just want to confirm.
I changed the memory frequency of the 2GB RAM in the BIOS setup under Advanced -> Memomry/Chipset configuration.
The moment I changed the frequency to 800 MHz from 667 MHz and restarted the computer, I saw a dotted like across the screen in the lower half of the monitor. I rebooted and reset the frequency back to 667 MHz. The line disappeared. Is there a problem with the DG41TY motherboard or is there something I should know about before I use this 800 MHz frequency?

Pse do not rush into updating the BIOS as soon as you have a problem. Try to find out more about the component from the manufacturers support, just like you did with the Intel website. Updating the BIOS has become the norm nowadays, and since most people have access to fast Internet connection, they immediately update thier m/b BIOS.
Updation is not always the right thing. Searching and analysing is the right thing. It should be done as the last resort. This is not just an intelligent advice, its what I would do.
Better luck in solving your problem. Don't stop, Keep posting.
