STOCKTON - Two people reported that their vehicles were struck by bullets, but no one was wounded when shots rang out near a carnival shortly before 8:30 p.m. Friday near East Hammer and West lanes, police said.
A 23-year-old woman told officers she was leaving the area when she heard several gunshots and saw a black man firing a weapon, authorities said. The woman found that her vehicle had been hit by bullets. A 26-year-old woman also reported that her vehicle had been struck by gunfire, police said.

Williston, SC-Ever since their opening week loss to Strom Thurmond, Williston Elko has been a team on a mission. Now in late November, that mission of winning a second straight state title is within reach. But they'll have to go through a familiar foe to finish the drill.
Blue Devils set to battle Scott's Branch for a third straight time. Both previous games have been close and last year it came down to the final minutes before the Devils could raise the trophy. This also marks the last game dad, coach Dwayne Garrick, coaches son, quarterback Tamyn "Gator" Garrick. They're trying not to think about it.
"I've been trying not to." said Tamyn Garrick "You know it's been a special four years for me getting the chance the opportunity to play for my dad. So it's been real fun and every good thing has to come to an end though."
"It's going to be an emotional day Friday." said coach Dwayne Garrick "I'll be tied up more in the ballgame but I'm sure towards the end it'll hit me. He's just a great kid and I love him to death and it'll make for something interesting towards the end on Friday."
Yes, mom has had to play role of the ref on occasions, but not too often coach Garrick says. As far as the game goes, Scott's Branch will again be hard pressed to slow down that vaunted offense. That's a 3pm kick at Benedict College in Columbia.

Hi everyone, I have been having pain in my lower back and have been trying to think of what may have caused it. A couple of years ago i was getting really bad shin splints from running so went to a podiatrist and had orthotics fitted. The podiatrist said that my feet over pronate so this has probably caused the shin splints. My orthotics have been giving me blisters on the sole of my feet from running so I decided to take them out a couple of months ago. i thought maybe my shin splints were caused by being new to running. My feet then stopped blistering and everything has been fine except this constant lower back pain. I am thinking that taking the orthotics out may have been a bad idea. What are your thoughts?
seems pretty clear. with orthotics, no back pain, without, back pain. you could check with a doctor but it's hard to imagine a doctor coming to a different conclusing based on your info. maybe though they could help with why you were getting blisters with the orthotics and fix that problem.

Shin pain from walking and running has lot more to do with taking too long of a step or stride than the amount of foot pronation. Taking too long a step or stride leads to a higher rate of "impact loading" into the body. Taking too long a stride can be a factor in back pain. If your back pain is related to running, than conciously strive to shorten your step or stride length. Do a browser search for cadence training for running.
Damien Howell PT, DPT, OCS - www.damienhowellpt.com
It would help to separate short-term effects from long-term ones, but that leads to persuasive arguments on both sides of this issue.
The #1 reason why people visit doctors voluntarily, is to relieve pain and discomfort. If the doctor does not wave a magic wand and make their pain go away ASAP, the doctor's practice will fail. For this reason, physicians are forced to come up with short-term solutions, not only to short-term problems, but to long-term problems as well.
This aspect of medicine has led to overuse of narcotics and other dangerous drugs as a way to address pain. In your case, you have a podiatrist who actually tried to solve your back pain with a longer-term solution, and I applaud the intent. What you need to realize is that it takes a while for any body to adjust to an orthotic, and if the orthotic does its job, it will need to be adjusted later to account for the gradual changes that occur in your body as a result of its use. In this way, orthotics should be fine-tuned over a period of years the way an optometrist may change a prescription for lenses to correct your ever-changing visual needs.
The problem with orthotics is that by nature, they tend to restrict motion. No doubt, the good Dr. was aiming to restrict excess pronation as a way to limit the load put on your core structure by this overuse syndrome. Here's where we get into a gray area. You were new to running, and you experienced pain, not only in your shins, but in your back. Your body had adjusted over time to an activity level that you changed by becoming more active. Even if you were not an over-pronator (but especially if you were), the process of adapting your body to running would probably hurt some. Yes, shin splints are encountered by many beginning runners, and I went through that period myself.
Here's where the story gets interesting, because I think you will find my personal experience to be quite relevant. In most useful experiments, a better conclusion is reached when there is a "control," which allows an experimental factor to be applied in different ways to different subjects, or to some subjects and not others, to better prove the effect is not a fluke. Without this control, a conclusion can be easily confused with coincidence.
My problem with shin splints was in only one leg. Not only was that leg measured by a neuromuscular specialist and determined to be slightly shorter (for either anatomical or biomechanical reasons) than the other, but the arch was measured by a running shoe specialist to be lower than the other. In other words, it was slightly pronated. The important fact I found out later by my own measurements, after I had received considerable training on the subject, is that the length of the 1st metatarsal bone in the pronated foot was also shorter than the same bone in the other foot.
It has long been documented that the relative length of one's 1st metatarsal bone has a direct relationship to the skeletal stability of the foot, and that it tends to affect biomechanics in such a way as to encourage pronation as a way to achieve more stability. However, it is not so cut-and-dried as that. The motion of pronation recruits biomechanical action from the leg muscles all the way through the pelvic core into the back, eventually causing pain syndromes in many people who simply walk or stand, let alone athletes who run. So, in your case, you may have gotten away with excess pronation for many years before you took up our favorite sport, but running was the straw that broke the camels back, so to speak.
Now, back to my story, because remember, I had the problem in just one leg, which means that going forward, I had a "control" for running. After studying the effects of metatarsal length on foot and leg biomechanics, and some solutions that had been developed to compensate for this rather common anatomical characteristic, I modified the shoe of the suspect foot to compensate for the differences between both sides. I tried several solutions that were suggested to me as I limped through training and a few races. Basically, I was creating my own custom orthotics, not blindly, but based on what had been suggested to me, and on what I had learned.
I tried the common suggestions first, ones used by others, but things did not improve. They even got worse in some cases. Motion control shoes, OTC orthotics, an arch support, a heel lift, in different combinations, are some of the things I tried. Meanwhile there was ice, stretching, compression gear, braces, the usual stuff.
I got my cues from superior runners, who had been through surgery and applied the usual fixes, with varying degrees of success. In one case, a standout runner with many overall wins to his credit, with a similar problem foot, had repeated bouts of pain from a neuroma. I suggested he try the fixes I had learned about, but to no avail. He continued to have problems despite the common interventions, and despite many good performances at shorter distances, was never able to survive a pain-free marathon. He was forced to abandon that distance, which he had the potential to excel at, because of the problem with his foot. When you advise runners with superior skills, the information tends to flow one way, from them to you. It is hard for a superior runner to accept equipment strategy from an ordinary runner like myself. Eventually, he cut back on running in favor of full-body strength training, having had a major title to his credit in the past. His talent wasn't wasted, only re-purposed. He helped me a lot as he watched me run.
Finally, I put what I had learned to work, in stages, on my own shoes. In neutral shoes, raising the footbed slightly by gluing a thin full-length sole onto the bottom of one shoe, was a fix for leg length patterned after a shoe that had been prescribed for another runner friend who swore by the effects. That helped some, but there was still the metatarsal issue to solve.
I added a small round pad made of tough gel material underneath the ball of the foot (formed by that metatarsal), to compensate for the timing in the order with which the metatarsals strike the ground with each stride. I'm not going to say the effect was magical, because it took a while to adapt, but an important benefit of the change, is that I was able to increase my mileage substantially without pain. Eventually, I was able to master the marathon in my own way, running them without the foot pain and qualifying for Boston twice out of three attempts. Both legs functioned the same way, and soreness stopped favoring one leg. I eventually replaced the glued-on soles with a thin neutral gel pad as an insert, and mass-produced it for my many shoes. Problem solved. Not looking back, except to occasionally help solve similar problems for folks like yourself.
Now, one lesson to learn from all this is that it takes time to adjust to the sport, for sure (please heed Damien's advice on stride length). Another important lesson is that targeted changes to your footwear can help. Still another is that common solutions are often too common and non-specific, to address a specific problem. A lesson I hope was not lost, is that failure to make targeted changes can hurt even an elite runner. The most important lesson is that these changes can be made, whether by a professional or by yourself, successfully, if they are properly targeted.
I think your DPM has attempted to craft a solution for your foot. It may have been a bit ahead of your adaptations, or way too far ahead. Perhaps it is too much of an ideal and your biomechanics cannot catch up, so you get the blisters and foot pain. There are Podiatrists out there who prescribe orthotics in stages, taking metatarsal length into account (which not all DPMs do), and banking on the body's ability to gradually wean itself off excess pronation. Anyone in sports-med can learn from that approach.
Now for a flip side to short-term vs, long-term. Adaptations can go both ways. One of the all-time greats in running, Haile Gebreselassie, is an over-pronator. A few years back, he held the world record in the marathon. Go figure. I think what he has going on, is a very small stature, low weight, and a lifetime of running, starting with 10k to school and back, that allowed his body to gradually grow into adapting to what would be for the rest of us, serious anatomical or biomechanical flaws. You can try duplicating that lifetime of achievement if you wish, but adult onset runners usually need a lot more help than that.
Good luck, and I hope you can learn from others' experience.

SANTA CRUZ -- Belinda Farrell was in a trance when the bullets started flying.
A teacher of Hawaiian healing arts, the Santa Cruz resident was home with two Japanese clients when Jeremy Peter Goulet gunned down Santa Cruz police detective Sgt. Loran "Butch" Baker and detective Elizabeth Butler.
The suspect hopped a fence, whipped by her front door and died moments later in a hail of bullets.
"We just heard rounds of bullets, loud, right outside the window. And first you think firecrackers. Then we just went down," Farrell said. "We didn't know what was going on, we just heard loud bullets and guns."
Farrell lives on the 100 block of Doyle Street, a strip of apartments that abuts the property where the two officers were gunned down. Goulet, a 35-year-old military veteran and recent Santa Cruz transplant, was killed in a gunfire exchange in her driveway.
"After the rounds of bullets I came outside, which was probably not the smartest thing to do, and got up to see, because I saw a lot of activity there. And then the officer said 'Get back in the house, immediately,' " Farrell said.
One of Farrell's neighbors was covered up by Santa Cruz firefighters, who dove on top of her when the gunfire erupted.
Statues of Quan Yin -- the Buddhist goddess of compassion -- stand sentry over Farrell's small yard, with one bullet hole through the fence between the deities, and another in the side of Farrell's house.
"Thank God for my spiritual teachings," Farrell said. "We were chanting the ancient chants. That puts you in a protection, so it was calming.
"I made dinner for [my clients]. We made the best of it, felt grateful that we had a roof on our heads. I felt protected."
The bullets that ripped through Farrell's yard were likely from the shooting of the two detectives, both of whom leave families behind.
"My heart goes out to them. I feel so badly," Farrell said. "To know that we heard those bullets, because those were deafening."

Simple solution: you can only "represent" one team. Think like being in multiple guilds in Guild Wars 2. There is a button in the UI that lets you choose which team you represent, and you only get rewards from that team, but you can switch your representation at any time.

-- keep ratingsys (probably bonuspool, as following up some ideas are working sc2 gimmiks)
-- make it like sc that you are able to be in many teams and the best counts for ranking, rating
------ therefor you probably have to remove the r1 stuff (realy whoever still cares about this r1 stuff is playing the wrong game imo), and make it like rbg that the best few % get special titles
-- realid arena (like it works in bg)
i know that this are just utopic wishes, but better set the scale high and be happy about whatever goes threw (Even if it is nothing )
oh and sorry, actually this is going a bit offtopic the general topic of conquest point pvp upgrades fell a bit behind, maybe for stuff like this we should make a new thread or go to an existing

Late last week, Google Earth updated satellite imagery that blogger and internet sleuth Curtis Melvin (via WSFJ ) thinks could show the country's latest gulag.
As the Wall Street Journal points out, there are six gulags in North Korea, not including this possible one. They are located in mountainous regions. Some are larger than major cities and house individuals who are deemed enemies of the state—as well as those who are simply related to those "traitors".
The newest satellite imagery is dated 2011-9-21, and shows what could be either the newest kwan-li-so (관리소) or prison camp. (That, or it could also be an expansion of an adjacent gulag, the infamous Camp 14.) Keep in mind, this is speculation—informed speculation on the part of Melvin.
Melvin has spent years using Google Earth and firsthand accounts of visitors to North Korea in his effort to map the interior. You can read more about his efforts here.
Below, see how the 2011-9-21 images compare with 2006 satellite pics (click to expand to full size). Images show what are believed to be guard posts and a security perimeter.
This is believed to be the new camp entrance (latest picture on the bottom).

AUSTIN (February 11, 2013)—The Texas House Appropriations Committee unanimously approved a $4.8 billion supplemental spending bill Monday, the majority of which covers a Medicaid tab that lawmakers didn't pay two years ago.
Republican chairman Jim Pitts told the committee that the spending bill must be on Gov. Rick Perry's desk by March or else doctors and hospitals won't get paid.
Democrats indicated they'll make Republicans vote on restoring $5.4 billion in education cuts in the supplemental bill, which must be addressed before lawmakers begin fine-tuning the next budget.
The supplemental bill now moves to the full Texas House.

SANTA CLARA -- Planning on scarfing down some hot dogs and beer at the new 49ers stadium? How about some white truffle pasta or liberty farms duck breast with pistachio crumble and parsnip, with a $199 glass of pinot noir?
Local star gourmet chef Michael Mina, who offers the above items at his restaurants, announced Thursday that he'll be opening up a restaurant and bar at the new Santa Clara stadium as the 49ers try to go beyond the traditional concession stand fare at their pricey new home.
The Bourbon Steak & Pub is being advertised as "a modern American steakhouse meets reinvented classic pubfare," including items such as the Wagyu Dog and Peanut Butter Crunch Burger. The pub will have 70 HDTVs.
The ground-floor restaurant will be open year-round, but during 49ers games will be an exclusive "tailgate" area available only to season-ticket holders. It will include a 13-foot-tall rotating rotisserie and a "ceiling mounted gantry track" to deliver seafood pots to their boiling stations.
Mina, a self-described "die-hard 49ers fan" who has created dishes inspired by the team, has cooked for the last three presidents and has a 17-restaurant empire that includes his flagship namesake restaurant in San Francisco and the upscale Arcadia in downtown San Jose. At Michael Mina in San Francisco, the cheapest entree on this week's menu is $42 and a nine-course feast costs $160 per person, while bottles of wine can cost more than $2,000.
Mina achieved culinary fame with his innovative "trios" -- three wildly different presentations of a single ingredient, say duck or scallops, on one plate -- and his high-end riffs on American comfort food, including lobster corn dogs and designer root beer floats. He's received top awards from the James Beard Foundation, Bon Appetit and many others since moving from Washington state to San Francisco as a 22-year-old chef just two days after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.
The new restaurant is part of a larger cultural -- and financial -- shift for the 49ers and its fans as the team moves into the $1.3 billion Levi's Stadium next summer.
Fan will now be required to buy seat licenses that cost $2,000 to $80,000 just for the right to buy season tickets in Santa Clara. That cost increase is expected to draw a bigger share of the "wine and cheese" crowd than rundown Candlestick Park, where some tickets cost less than $100.
CEO Jed York has talked about a "farm-to-table" stadium menu that includes all-beef organic hot dogs and seasonal, local vegetables and fish.
Of course, the classic football stadium food and drink will be available -- Bud Light has already signed on as a major corporate sponsor.

CocoThumbX is a freeware thumbnail creator for Mac OS X.
It is capable of creating and removing thumbnails from the common image file formats such as BMP, TIFF, TARGA, GIF (animated), PNG, JPG, PICT, PDF, EPS, ICNS, JP2, SGI ... text files such as DOC, RTF, RTFD, HTML, CSS, TXT and QuickTime-supported movies. CocoThumbX creates a thumbnail from your image and adds the thumbnail as icon to your image file.
Required OS: not specified

Very useful, but img2icns builds icons with a much better quality (512 × 512 I guess, checked on mac os 10.5).
This is one of the first apps I downloaded to my MBP about a year ago and it quickly became one of my all time favourite apps.
Just keep it in the dock and drag entire folders or single files onto the dock icon and it converts them and closes nicely with nary a problem. It has no complication creating a thumbnail for hundreds of files at a time, including entire folders worth of photos, icons or movies. It has allowed me to customize my icons like I never thought I would have been able to and helps me locate images in a flash and all for free (though I loved it so much I did donate a bit to the developer).
Overall, CocoThumbX, apart from the name and the fact that I cannot change it's own icon and still retain dock-functionality is a good solid piece of software that helps me out everyday. I completely recommend it to anyone and everyone.
This software was quite useful. However, Leopard Finder can now generate thumbnail by itself.
I'm not even so sure that this is the program I used before, it's looks totally different.
This spring, I used a program that would sit quietly in it's own window, allow me to drag images too it, and it would rotate, drop shadow, and put a border around it to make it look like a printed image.
Where, oh where, did my little wonder app go....
> Unfortunately, the drop shadow doesn't work when I do 'add thumbnail'. It works when I save as icns file, but that makes the process longer.
Actually it works, maybe the icon just didn't refresh properly...
Unfortunately, the drop shadow doesn't work when I do 'add thumbnail'. It works when I save as icns file, but that makes the process longer.
I use this to create icons from album cover, then copy that icon to the album's folder.
It would be nice if it had the option to set icons to a folder, based on the first picture or movie it finds in it.
Meanwhile, does anybody know how to copy an icon from one file to another faster than going through the info windows (eg: via a special keyboard shortcut)?
Nice app.
But could have been even better.
1. It adds icons to files that cannot be rendered. This results in ugly mini-icons. I would suggest an option like "add icon to rendered files only".
2. Its effects (shaddow and mirror-effect) make very small icons for all portrait format pictures. I would suggest options like "no shaddow" and "no mirror effect" or "iconize content only".
Heh, I think I'll stick with my current version.
I love how you can save the thumbnails, which as a web designer I need to do often. Very handy, does its job fast and well.
bailey_ca says: "Rapidly starting to suck"? In my experience, it works perfectly doing exactly what it is designed to do, and doing it well. The reason it does 'act like an OS X app should' is that it is designed not to come to the front like normal apps. In other words, its window sits on top of the screen and has slight transparency, but you are still in the Finder. In such cases the interface choice makes a certain amount of sense.
It's irritating that 'sucks' can mean 'not perfect'. For me it's pretty damn near perfect. With the demise of Pic2Icon it seems the only alternative, and one that is both free and effective.
It doesn't suck.

Jon Stewart�is "anything but warm and fuzzy," a staffer asserts in Lisa Rogak's biography of�The Daily Show�host, according to a�New York Daily News�review.�
In�Angry Optimist: The Life and Times of Jon Stewart, Rogak details Stewart's painstaking rise to fame and the bad behavior he exhibits now that he has it. As one staffer recalls, Stewart threw a newspaper at producer Madeleine Smithberg during a story meeting while screaming into her face. The host apologized afterwards, explaining, "Sorry, that was bad Jon. ... I try not to let him out."
Fall TV: Familiar faces in new places
The biography also describes an incident where Stewart verbally attacked Seth MacFarlane over the phone for a�Family Guy�joke that poked fun at Stewart for returning to work while his writers were still on strike. "Who the hell made you the moral arbiter of Hollywood?" Stewart supposedly bellowed.�MacFarlane later told Piers Morgan that he was shocked by Stewart's call and referred to it as "an odd Hollywood moment."
But as the�Daily News�points out, the biography isn't all about mudslinging. It also details Stewart's affinity for Food Network shows, crosswords and hanging with his three-legged dog, Champ. Make of that what you will.
Whoa! See where the cast of�Blossom�is now:

Mi current pc is too old. I wanna buy a new one and would like to recive all your advices about what configuration you would buy. In all the shops I´m asking, they don,t know about this program (pMS) and they says, i must ask about the better confifuration for it.
Basically, I,ll use the new one with this program, but I want it´ll run "perfect" at 1080, and obviously, I prefer to make a little higher inversion, and getting a good computer for some years.
The films will be streamed throught ethernet in a Cat-5E. The router is tipe G, but it´ll have a switch of 1Gb
I´ll would appreciate all your opinion, because you really know about pc, about ps3 and about this great progam.
In the beggining, I had though about:
processor: I7 1366 920
3x2Gb DDR3 256 bits FX PCI-E
Gigabyte 775/EX58-UD4P
FX PCI-E 9800GT-1024 DDR3 256 Bits
ATX Corsair 750W TX
After, talking with the shop´s owner (who doesn´t know about this program), she says that, maybe, the program wasn´t programed for working perfect at 64bits, and in that case, it would be smarter, decide about a pc of the type Quad at 32.
I don´t know too much about computers. I wanna buy one, that allows me seening 1080 perfect, without nothing of stuttering, and at the same time, it runs with other works (like downloading another files, working in the web...)
Thank you. All ideas wellcome

Monday, September 30, 2013
Ahh, but this is not the case for me or for a good number of one-man operations . Friday for me always comes too soon......I see with the arrival of Friday that my time to accomplish my ever so unreasonable weekly goals is nearly exhausted. Whatever I set out to do that week will most likely not be completed. Part of me thinks it is because I am not as efficient or capeable as I would like to be-another view is that I expect more of myself than I can possibly deliver . Either way, the result is the same-I fall short of my goal nearly every week. Friday stands as an indicator of my failure, not my salvation from work. It is always the day when I realize that whatever I set out to do in my shop will not see completion until the following week. For some reason this can depress me significantly, even with the realization that it is only one person who really feels this failure...... that is me.
The kind of work that I do suffers when done hastily. That said, there are timelines and I really don't want to fall short of delivering what I build on time-or at least within a reasonable margin of on-timeness. Most of the time people do not pressure me at all-the pressure is coming from within, a result of me having the misconception that things will go smoothly in the shop and that there will not be too many interruptions to the flow of work. The fact is there is no way to know how things will 'flow' at the beginning of the week. By late Tuesday afternoon I can usually tell if I am on a good week or flailing.
Last week I was flailing-I was hopelessly torn in many directions and for the greater part of the week the welder was silent, waiting for me to get my shit together. I still managed to build a really nice frame and fork and get about halfway through another frame. All the work was top notch, even if my attitude was rock bottom. I really wonder where the striving for the unattainable weekly goal originated in my life....did it come as a result of trying to prove something to a long dead parent ? -Boy, that's a waste of time. Is it because I never forget how much I barely scraped by financially for years trying to do what I do now ? -But now I'm not scraping badly any more. And if it isn't pressure from customers, where the hell does it come from ?
Friday.....the day that my failures come to light-the day that I wind up getting down on myself as if my transgression was the greatest disappointment on earth. The fact is , the only one really perpetuating this weekly self-beating is the guy I see in the mirror every morning. The same guy I can thank for all the cool crap hanging on the walls of my shop-the same guy who got me into this mess in the first place. I can't blame anyone else.......the problem is as close to home as it gets.
At least it's only on Friday-Thank God Friday only comes once a week !

Are you Catholic? Jewish?ReplyDelete
Whether it's G-d or Jesus, either one produces healthy amounts of guilt, which does wonders for the work ethic.
I ought to know.
I hear ya loud & clear, I quit knowing what day it is = I just work most of them.ReplyDelete
No fridays for me.
I thought about a calender where every day is just "monday"
At least during this time of year, Friday means 'tomorrow there's a cross race' - and that's always a good thing.ReplyDelete
Yes.....spend all weekend racing 'cross and Monday morning feel like crap.....that's the fall/winter for me for the last 14 years !ReplyDelete

While the state of Minnesota moves forward with improved education funding, the Montevideo school sistrict is sitting in a unique position; The district is primed to make use of new funding, ahead of the curve in some regards, but in a position to miss out in one case.
All-day kindergarten
With the state of Minnesota ready to begin funding all-day kindergarten, many districts are welcoming the opportunity, including Montevideo, where all-day kindergarten has already been in place for three years.
"A lot of research shows an investment in kindergarten really pays off," said Dr. Luther Heller, superintendent of the Montevideo school district. "When we look at the allocation of resources ... we look where our students can get the most benefit for the money. We believed that kindergarten provided the best long term benefits for students."
Heller said that when he arrived in Montevideo, a model was already in place where parents could pay for all-day, everyday kindergarten if they wanted to, and that the part time kindergarten was provided.
"About three years ago we made the move to go ahead and have all-day, every-day kindergarten for all of our students. That coincided with moving Kindergarten into the Sanford Education Center. At that point we provided all day every day to all students at no additional cost to the families," Heller said. He added that this change was not attached to the local education levy referendum.
So, what changes now that the program is funded by the state?
"We're not necessarily going to spend more money on kindergarten," Heller said. "The money being put in (from the state) will allow us to have more money overall. One way to look at it is that we'll no longer need to take money from other programs to supplement kindergarten."

Here's the Bike Hugger SXSW Urban Ride Route
We've got Bike Hugger 2.0 in the works, with a refreshed design, more community, and 33% more hugganess. Going into the upgrade process, we'd like to know what you think. So please tell us. What should go into 2.0? How can we give you even more bike hugga?
Instructables is coming to SXSW, stopping by the BBQ, and bringing this Kinetic Chain Sculpture with them.
That looks like hours of fun in a bike shop and also a great hand cleaner demo – "here, hold this chain-art thingy for a few seconds and then try our Pedros enviro-hand cleaner! Also see
After putting these Carnac booties on, I thought, "hmm maybe too euro, even for me." Lycra booties do serve a purpose in Spring weather. They keep the chill off, aero, and keep the feet drier when the roads are wet. These ones though look like Smurf boots, but at least their not White Booties …
Opinions? Are these indeed too Euro or should one always embrace their inner Euro? They also totally don't match the Modal or Hotspur.

This table is simply beautiful! It arrived fast and well packed. The legs need to be put together and attached which wasn't hard at all. I was able to put this together by myself in about an hour. The table itself is very sturdy and well made. I have it fully extended with 4 chairs but im sure i could fit 2 to 3 more if needed . The look of the table makes it easy to pair it with a lot of different style chairs. Also i have to say great price! I did see this similar table for over 1,000 somewhere else and was so excited to find it here for such a great deal.
We had a few issues with it, quality inspectors missed this table for sure. The chairs had problems too.
This is a really great, high quality table at a really great price! There is nearly the exact same table at Pottery Barn for over $2,000. The table is really heavy and sturdy and has a great rustic feel. The color has a tad of a greenish/gray tint, but I think that just adds to the charm. Overall, a great table at a great price!
I just moved to a new home and was looking for a dining table to fit the space and decor. This table is beautiful, substantial and affordable. I have received nothing but compliments. It's a great addition to my home and I love it.
The table and chairs were packaged well so that quality was maintained during shipping. Everything we received on time. Chairs required a little more assembly than I expected but not difficult and worth it for the cost. Excellent service, price and quality.
We just remodeled our kitchen and the Sourav dining table that I have no longer fits (size/style/design). Found this online. Luckily my store just got it in. It looks great in our new kitchen. Paired with the Lydia chair in Baked Apple. I saw a very simular table at Pottery Barn for $1499.00. This is a great table at a great price.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - There's an old saying: "We are what we eat." Politically speaking, I prefer something like: "We are how we vote." In its last issue, the Bonanza had a front page story reporting the outcome of the 2012 election in just the Incline/Crystal Bay precincts. Had Romney done as well nationally he would be preparing for his inauguration right now, but then, as the story reports, North Tahoe voters tilt to the GOP.
Actual registration figures in our community as of the cut off last fall were: 7,270 total registered voters; GOP - 3,189 (44 percent), Dem. 2,140 (30 percent), Non partisan - 1,305 (18 percent), Independent American - 366 (5 percent), Libertarian - 92 (1+ percent) and Green - 74 (1 percent). And, the Bonanza reported, a great majority (76.2 percent) of Incline/Crystal Bay voters cast early or absentee ballots. Only 24 percent voted on Election Day.
Incidentally, Independent American Party voters are the third largest political party registration in our community (and the IAP the third largest political party in Nevada). It is affiliated with the Constitution Party and its platform looks like it might be the Tea Party on steroids with socially ultra conservative planks thrown in for good measure. Note that there is no "independent" registration in Nevada. Some unaligned voters of whom I am aware sought to register as "independent" (instead of "non-partisan") and ended up in the IAP because the registrar misunderstood their intent.
So what is our collective political personality? Are there conservative and/or liberal "spikes" in our community? As this paper reported Romney prevailed locally besting Obama 3,032 votes (less than all registered Republicans) to 2,375 (more than all registered Democrats). 64 locals voted for Libertarian Gary Johnson and 36 voted for "none of these candidates". The only precinct with a majority for Obama (251 votes to 239) was #8105 (between Hwy 431 and Country Club generally surrounding the old Sierra Nevada College "Mountain" campus). Romney's strongest precinct (280 votes to 167) was #8104 (Lakeshore to about McCourry, west of Mays/Northwood).
The other crucial national race was for US Senate in which Incline/Crystal Bay voters provided some interesting contrasts with the presidential race. Dean Heller outpolled Shelley Berkley 3,140 (more than Romney) to 1,933 (less than Obama). Libertarian candidate Gary VanderBeek drew 186 votes and "none of these candidates" polled a whopping 236 votes or just under 5 percent of the total. Berkley did not win in any Incline/Crystal Bay precinct. Closest to a Berkley win (217 Berkley, 235 Heller) was again #8105 and the strongest Heller showing (292 to 131) was also Romney's best, #8104.
Were there any "spikes" in our local, non-partisan races? Since the number of voters varies precinct by precinct the answer depends on a vote total comparison between competing candidates. In the race for IVGID trustee the two Jims, Jim Smith and Jim Hammerel, performed best in precinct #8107, the area surrounding the Championship Golf Course. Not surprising since the two campaigned on similar platforms. Bill Devine did best (as did Obama and Berkley) in precinct #8105.
In the race for North Lake Tahoe Fire Protection Board incumbents Wayne Fischer and Dale Smith easily won reelection. Fischer's best relative showing was in precinct #8106 (Upper Tyner and Apollo neighborhoods) while Smith fared best in #8108 (lower Tyner and part of Crystal Bay). Paul Zahler bested two other challengers for the third open board seat performing best in precinct #8109 (Country Club running east between Hwy 28 and Mount Rose Highway).
So that's a snapshot of our community's political personality as well as that of some of our neighborhoods. Don't make any future plans based on this analysis however because it could all change by the 2014 midterm elections.

Thursday's letters: A train wreck
Published: Thursday, May 16, 2013 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 15, 2013 at 8:52 p.m.
To the editor: There have been many recent articles in the Times-News about Obamacares chickens coming home to roost. All of the lies and obfuscation that accompanied the passage of this bill are now being revealed for what they were.
No, we cannot cover an additional 30 million people and expect costs to go down. No, there is no such thing as free medical care. Someone, somewhere is paying for it, if you arent. Heck, a recent editorial even revealed that the very congressmen who passed the bill, and by the way failed to even read it, are now scurrying to find a way to exempt themselves and their staff from having to deal with the provisions of the bill that apply to them.
Not to worry. Our so-called representatives will find a way to protect themselves while throwing the rest of the country under the coming train wreck!
John Farren
Backyard Broadway
To the editor: Three cheers to Flat Rock Playhouse and executive producers Penny Insurance and Southern Alarm! Their wonderful production of Cotton Patch Gospel is a lively musical retelling of the gospel story with the setting changed to Gainesville, Ga.
Cotton Patch Gospel is filled with Southern humor while remaining respectful of its message. Harry Chapins great bluegrass songs are performed by a cast of extremely talented and energetic actors/musicians. My wife and I traveled from Brevard to see it at the FRP downtown theater. We left uplifted by the sheer entertainment and the message it contains. We werent the only ones. The night we were there, the entire audience was cheering and gave a standing ovation! Kids loved it, too.
Thanks to FRP for maintaining its commitment to providing good family productions without stinting on quality and entertainment value. How fortunate we are to have the state theater of North Carolina here. Its like having Broadway in our backyard. I hope we will support this terrific production by our attendance in order to show FRP that its efforts to provide family entertainment are not in vain.
It was a delightful evening! Bravo!

Guilty of treason
To the editor: On Nov. 9, 2009, Nidal Hasan, a major in the U.S. Army, murdered 13 fellow soldiers.
(1) He had taken multiple oaths to defend and protect the U.S.
(2) He did this because he believed in an anti-U.S. Islamic philosophy.
(3) He is guilty of treason.
(4) Any doubts here?
(5) Why has he not faced a firing squad long before now?
(6) Do we still have some semblance of government in this country?

Knitter's Review

Last week's review of the Della Q Molly knitting bag sparked a discussion about the bags we use to carry our knitting—and it quickly became apparent that we'll use pretty much anything to hold our knitting.
I decided to take a closer look at the role of knitting bags, why we need them, why we love them, and why we have so many of them.

Seen a wild turkey? Tell NC wildlife commission
Published: Wednesday, July 9, 2014 at 8:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 9, 2014 at 8:12 a.m.
RALEIGH, N.C.— If you've seen a wild turkey this summer, the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission would like to know about it.
The commission says that from now through Aug. 31, wild turkey sightings by volunteers and Wildlife Commission staff can be recorded and entered into an online database. The information gives an indication of annual wild turkey productivity, carryover and other population trends, all of which help the commission manage the state's turkey population.
Before the 1970s, wild turkeys were scarce in North Carolina, with only about 2,000 birds statewide. Today, there are more than 260,000 birds from the mountains to the coast. Wild turkeys are one of North Carolina's most popular game animals.
To participate, volunteers should use the online survey link on the commission's website, www.ncwildlife.org or directly at http://ncwildlife.org/summerturkeysurvey .

New This Winter: "World-Class" North Korean Ski Resort
Watch out, Pyeongchang. When the Winter Olympics come to the South Korean town in 2018, North Korea is aiming to have its own rival world-class ski slopes.
Pyongyang's state media reported on Sunday that Kim Jong Un inspected a partially-completed ski resort close to Wonsan on the eastern coast, under construction by its military. The report was accompanied by pictures of Mr. Kim, who gave specific instructions to a small band of note-taking generals regarding annual snowfall, drainage and arbor, "so that the slopes would look nice after the snow has melted."
Mr. Kim was "greatly satisfied" to inspect the resort that covers hundreds of thousands of square meters, with slopes of all difficulty levels stretching 110,000 meters in total length, the Korean Central News Agency said. Upon completion, "a ski wave will seize the country," Mr. Kim was quoted as saying.
The shovel first hit the Masik Pass grounds less than a year ago, said the report, and Mr. Kim ordered to have it finished before the first snowfall this year. It will reportedly boast a hotel, a heliport and a cableway, which Mr. Kim stressed must be "world-class." The highest peak is over 1,360 meters above sea level, according to KCNA.
Mr. Kim is no stranger to skiing. A major part of his education was in Switzerland, where he was exposed to the arts and, apparently, the sciences of alpine sports. It's not known if he prefers downhill, slalom or mogul runs, or whether he's more partial to snowboarding.
When the Winter Olympics were awarded to Pyeongchang in 2011, the chairman of South Korea's main opposition Democratic Party proposed that Seoul talk to North Korea about jointly hosting the games, and idea that didn't gain any traction.

On 4 March 2010, New Scientist magazine published an article entitled "Knowing the mind of God: Seven theories of everything", where Michael Marshall reviewed the most promising candidates for the Theory of Everything, the Holy Grail of theoretical physics. So, what does this report card have to say – is our search for this ultimate scientific understanding going well?
One of the most striking revelations of this article is that all of the profiled candidates are quite different from each other, demonstrating that there is still no fundamental physical or theoretical agreement on the operation of our universe. Each theory is a favorite of one of a number of disparate camps within the scientific community, and each still falls under the general umbrella of our known scientific paradigm, or Standard Theory. Yet, one of the main reasons we seek such a grand theory is that it is expected to provide a clarifying simplicity and understanding that is unknown in today's science (see comparison diagram above), implying that the answer may even lie outside our Standard-Theory umbrella. Indeed, the existence of seven disparate "final theories" after centuries of scientific enlightenment, each just as strongly defended as the others by its supporters, would almost seem to insist on this being the case. No, our search for the final Theory of Everything is arguably not going well. And although we could proceed just as we are and hope for different results, it may be time to step back and consider things from an entirely new perspective.
Mark McCutcheon's controversial book,"The Final Theory", recently released in its second edition, poses a truly unique theory-of-everything candidate called Expansion Theory, which appears to contain all the attributes expected of such a grand final theory. And, perhaps tellingly, it does take a giant step outside our centuries-old science legacy to do so; and, unlike most other candidates, this theory can be tested.
Within the atom, this expansion principle addresses the very subatomic structure and nature of the atom itself, replacing current quantum-mechanical models widely acknowledged as bizarre and paradoxical (which by definition means lacking sensible explanation). And, as explained shortly, the further manifestation of such expanding electrons at both the outer edge of the atom and beyond offers surprisingly simple and compelling explanations for not only gravity and atomic bonds, but also electric charge, magnetism and electromagnetic radiation. Taken together, this singular concept of an expanding electron, rather than "charged", provides potential scientific explanations for all known forms of matter and energy – the very definition of the long-sought Theory of Everything. This certainly qualifies as thinking outside of known science, as may ultimately be required for a final theory, but is it science? As McCutcheon's book shows, to sincerely answer this question it must be equally applied to today's theories as well – there must be no free passes on such important issues.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
The sweeping rethink of centuries of our scientific legacy in "The Final Theory" does make its case with surprisingly compelling logical, mathematical and scientific arguments that are exceedingly, if not painfully, rare in works of "alternate science". The core concept is introduced with a new theory of gravity that springs directly from Einstein's famous elevator-in-space thought experiment where standing on Earth is entirely equivalent to being accelerating upward in space, but it replaces Einstein's "warped space-time" conclusion with a much simpler and more literal interpretation. Instead, every atom in the universe expands at a tiny universal atomic expansion rate, contributing to an overall outward expansion of our planet, causing the effect of falling objects as well as the force we feel under our feet.
And, indeed, we do regularly witness the expected
results of such an underlying expansion: objects in free space are
attracted together as if expanding into the space between them, and
are then held together as if continually expanding against each other.
If, for example, the Earth were expanding toward dropped objects, rather than
somehow pulling them downward, the ground would
equally approach all dropped objects, effectively causing them to
fall at the same rate – regardless of mass, just
as we observe. In such a
universe there would be no need for Newton's still-unexplained
gravitational force emanating from objects and acting across distances
– and neither for Einstein's "space-time".
This raises serious questions about Einstein's theories of relativity, since Einstein's "warped space-time" hails from his General Relativity theory, which in turn follows on from his earlier Special Relativity theory. But could this be so? Consider the famous "Twin Paradox" thought experiment, where a speeding astronaut is said to return to Earth to discover he is much younger than his Earthbound twin. A fatal logical flaw in this "paradox" has been reluctantly but increasingly acknowledged over the years, since "everything is relative" in Special Relativity theory, so either twin could be considered speeding or stationary, removing any absolute age difference. But, should this fatal flaw be pointed out, focus is invariably switched away from Special Relativity since the astronaut underwent actual physical acceleration in his travels, which is exclusively the realm of General Relativity instead. This switch is generally presented as a resolution to the issue – but is it?
First, this switch to General Relativity completely invalidates the still often-claimed support for Special Relativity from both this famous thought experiment and from all related physical experiments, such as speeding particles in accelerators or atomic clocks on circling airplanes or satellites. McCutcheon details how these experiments may indeed have come to lend unwarranted support to Special Relativity. Yet this inescapable conclusion is usually not later acknowledged or discussed, leaving many with the impression that the Twin Paradox and related physical experiments still fully apply to and support Special Relativity theory.
Second, McCutcheon further shows that the switch to General Relativity is a fatally flawed solution to this issue. One of the cornerstones of General Relativity is the Principle of Equivalence, which states that the 1g-force effect of gravity on Earth is entirely equivalent to being accelerated through space at the same 1g rate – no experiment should be able to discern any difference. This means that even though this acceleration would produce near-light speeds within months, there should still be no physical difference between this scenario and that of standing on Earth the whole while.
So, according to both the "everything is relative" aspect of Special Relativity and the Principle of Equivalence in General Relativity, it appears there is no such thing as a "Twin Paradox" time dilation effect, despite widespread repetition of theoretical and experimental claims to the contrary. Not only does this seriously question Special Relativity, but doubly so for General Relativity considering the earlier drop-test issue as well. And notably, Expansion Theory differs with both the drop-test prediction of General Relativity and Newtonian gravity and the time dilation claim of Special and General Relativity.
One of the milestones in our science is also one of the most celebrated successes of Newton's gravitational-force theory – its extension of surface gravity to a further "action-at-a-distance" quality that Newton claimed reaches out into space, holding the Moon in orbit. But this proposal not only still has no solid physical explanation for how it might operate – 300 years later, but also offers no explanation for the immense and endless power source that must exist to support such a powerful undiminishing force. We have developed conceptual abstractions to address this issue in the absence of solid physical explanations, but this has left us with an array of working theories of gravity today and ongoing speculation over possible "graviton particles" or "gravity waves". And, to the extent that Einstein has aligned his theory with Newton, it also suffers the same difficulties, while the extent to which it deviates often leaves it suffering from impractical abstraction or mathematical intractability.
In contrast, Expansion Theory describes orbits at a distance as a simple geometric consequence of the same singular expanding matter phenomenon responsible for surface gravity. It is easy to see, for example, how dropped objects would effectively fall due to planetary expansion, and also how even horizontally tossed objects would curve and plummet increasingly toward the ground. Such a dramatic momentum change solely due to the geometry of expansion establishes the concept for this plummeting trajectory to become continually less dramatic the greater the horizontal speed, eventually matching the Earth's curvature, which, by definition, repeats just the same each moment – no longer plummeting but circling the planet.
Likewise, this new concept of expanding matter can also explain observations throughout our solar system – planetary orbits, ocean tides and interplanetary space travel, to name a few. Study the left side of this image of two planets travelling in theoretical straight lines past each other while the gap between them closes due to their expansion. We would never actually see such expansion directly as a size change if we and all other objects expand equally, maintaining constant (relative) sizes, so the closing gap between the objects in the diagram could only manifest as effective curves toward each other while passing, as shown on the right. This is what McCutcheon calls the "Natural Orbit Effect", where curves and orbits are unavoidable natural trajectories that follow from the pure geometry of expanding matter. In this view, Newton's absolute straight-line momentum claim for all objects in the universe is a fallacy, and not a law of nature, since it is actually never followed in nature upon closer examination; even objects rolling in a straight line along the ground are actually rolling around the planet.
Interestingly, another test of Expansion Theory, in addition to the earlier-mentioned drop test, could be performed by weighing an object directly on the surface of the far side of the Moon. Since the Moon is about a quarter the size of Earth, its expansion-based surface gravity would be one quarter as well, which, McCutcheon shows, is also calculated by Newton's mass-based gravitational equations before revising lunar mass assumptions to match actual surface measurements from our space programs. And while the actual one-sixth surface gravity – only directly measured on the near side and presumed to extend around the lunar surface – is currently explained by assuming the Moon is composed of less dense material throughout, McCutcheon's theory suggests a somewhat different explanation.
The book further suggests that ocean tides need not, and cannot, arise from a lunar influence, but only from the inner dynamics of the Earth itself – an inner wobble that must be present even according to today's classical physics, based on the center-of-mass dynamics of the Earth-Moon system. The analysis justifies why the passing Moon coincides with rising tides, roughly speaking, but for internal reasons that follow from the creation and evolution of the Earth-Moon system.
In Expansion Theory the dynamics of orbiting, expanding moons and planets result in the entire solar system and all of its contained orbits expanding as well. This is shown to explain the slingshot effect that accelerates spaceships as they pass planets – and where there are no known g-forces in the process – an otherwise mysterious maneuver that is actually unexplained today, as shown in the book. And, at the level of the overall solar system, this expansion addresses a widely known puzzling anomaly with the Pioneer space probes and other spacecraft as they travel through the solar system and beyond. These deviations from predicted trajectories can now be understood as possible artifacts of our Newtonian gravitational models based on a force emanating from a given mass, when Expansion Theory suggests our models should be based on the geometry of size and expansion.
And, much as expanding atoms replace "gravitational energy", the concept of expanding subatomic particles replaces the energies of "Electric Charge" and "Strong and Weak Nuclear Forces". These separate energy concepts become abstractions for the single underlying phenomenon of subatomic expansion. And such abstractions become unnecessary in a new model of the atom where neutrons and protons are not true particles, but clusters of expanding (not "charged") electrons, and where "orbiting" electrons instead rapidly bounce off the resultant expanding nucleus.
Today's "strong nuclear force" holding the powerfully repelling "positively charged" nuclear protons together, all of whose required power sources are oddly absent, is replaced by the natural compression of rapidly expanding protons and neutrons pushing against each other. And the "weak nuclear force" responsible for occasional nuclear decay then furthers the suggestion that neutrons may be less stable clusters of active expanding electrons that occasionally eject an electron to become a more stable proton, in a more straightforward proposal for nuclear "decay".
This new atomic model also addresses chemical bonds, which are currently considered as endless electric-charge or electromagnetic energy. And, beyond the atom's outer edge, expanding electrons manifest as a tremendous external group expansion of countless electrons outside the atom in a "Crossover Effect" that we call electric and magnetic fields.
In the end, all forms of "energy" are ultimately represented as different manifestations of one singular phenomenon. The internal energies and structure of atoms is explained by expanding electrons in the subatomic realm. "Gravitational energy" is explained as atomic expansion due to this inner expansion at the atomic boundary. "Electric and magnetic field energies" are explained as clouds of expanding electrons surrounding or emanating from conductive materials or objects. And "electromagnetic energy", such as radio waves or radiant heat and light, are explained as bands or clusters of freely expanding electrons continually replenished from the radiation source and pushing one another through space at the speed of light. The flow of electrons through electric circuits is also driven by subatomic expansion rather than "electric charge", and this flow of expanding electrons pushing each other through wires runs our domestic appliances.
According to McCutcheon's Expansion Theory, when we consider the singular phenomenon of expanding matter, we can explain all four fundamental forces of nature without having to invent separate forces, energies, abstractions or complexities, also resolving chronic mysteries and paradoxes in our science. This article, however, comes with the caveat that such a basic overview of Expansion Theory cannot do justice to the book, as it bypasses all detailed discussions and further topics that McCutcheon has covered to support the theory. Although snap judgments and easy dismissals are justifiable temptations with most alternate theories, familiarization with Expansion Theory is highly recommended at this critical time where informed discussions are imperative when such a compelling new theory arrives – by all appearances a truly viable candidate for the Theory of Everything.
You may be surprised at how much more accessible, comprehensible and verifiable Expansion Theory can be, compared with the other seven "theory of everything" candidates Michael Marshall reviewed in his New Scientist article. In fact, comparing these seven theories to Expansion Theory could turn out to be a very eye-opening exercise. We may very well have here a truly final Theory of Everything, though it remains for you to read, assess and pass judgment upon in a responsible and scientific manner. For a start, it does both highlight and resolve most of the mysteries and paradoxes inherent within Standard Theory, and for that alone we owe it to ourselves and to the future of our science to not dismiss Expansion Theory too hastily.

Orbits explained
Many readers of McCutcheon's book on The Final Theory have trouble picturing how orbits can be explained using Expansion Theory. Try visualizing it this way.
Start by picturing an elliptical orbit of one object relative to a fixed object. In reality, both objects will move, but if you were standing on one of them, only the other object would appear to move.
The elliptical motion has two components. One component is forward and back and traces the elongated dimension of the elliptical orbit. The other component is side to side and traces the other dimension.
Now, analyze the two components of motion separately. First the elongated forward and back component. Picture this component as if the object in motion is moving forward and back on a straight line and is able to pass right through the stationary object.
Picture the object in motion as it comes toward to the stationary object. As both objects expand, the object in motion will move faster and faster. It will be moving at its fastest when it passes through the stationary object.
As the object in motion moves away from the stationary object both objects continue to expand. The object in motion will move slower and slower until it stops, reverses direction, and starts back toward the stationary object. Since both objects will continue to expand, the object in motion will start moving faster and faster back toward the stationary object. This oscillation will continue indefinitely.
Now consider the side to side motion. This motion is also an oscillation. However, it is perpendicular to and completely out of phase with the forward and back motion.
Each time the forward and back motion comes to a stop at its farthest distance from the stationary object, the side to side motion is moving it's fastest. When the forward and back motion is at its fastest, the side to side motion comes to a stop at it's farthest distance from the stationary object. The side to side motion causes the moving object to pass on one side of the stationary object when moving forward and the other side when coming back.
As the motion becomes less and less elliptical, the orbit becomes closer and closer to a circle. Once the motion becomes a circular orbit, the side to side and forward and back components become indistinguishable, but the oscillation concepts still apply.
A similar thing happens when two sine waves 90 degrees out of phase are superimposed upon each other on an oscilloscope. The result is a circle. If the magnitude of one of the sine waves is increased the result is an ellipse.

"TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING" is 'The Time Universe Theory'!
I propose, only Time exists in the Universe: "Time Creates Space, Life, Consciousness, and the Universe Itself"
The only truth about the physical Universe is that it is not physical ! The smartest thing of the Universe is Universe itself ! Universe is not only small and finite. Universe 'on the whole' is smartest phenomenon of the Universe ! 'On the whole' Universe is 'shapeless', 'massless' and 'weightless'. I CAN PICK IT UP !!! Einstein's "second law," m = E/ c^2 i.e. m = E/ c2 [ How mass drives from pure Energy.], raises the question whether mass can be understood more deeply as energy. And can we build, as Wheeler put it, " Mass Without Mass ",? are the best predictions in favour of my " Time Theory of Everything ". In my view the first question is "How pure energy drives from TIME?". "The Universe is not what it used to be, nor what it appears to be." as Frank W ilczek of MIT quoted in first chapter 'Getting to it' of his book titled " The Lightness of Being " [ mass, ether, and the unification of forces ] also supports my theory. Infinity is finity 'on the whole'. There is nothing original under the physical phenomena. All physical properties of the universe are secondary in nature.There is a Universe behind the 'Physical Universe' which is 'DARK' and primary Universe. If a "Theory of Everything" is Holy Grail of cosmology, "Time Theory of Everything" is Holy Grail of physics. Physicists are hunting for an elusive particle that would reveal the presence of a new kind of field that permeates all of reality. Finding that Higgs field will give us a more complete understanding about how the elusive universe works! I believe in bold imagination in research. I believe universe is not acadamic, and is not bound of our physical theories. Capture Higgs particle, 'eyes on a prize particle', the search for the Higgs boson [God Particle] and creation of micro black holes is nonsense idea. Higgs boson is not Destiny. We have to rethink TIME and ETERNITY. Basic and primary stuff of the universe is not physical. All matter, energy and fundamental forces of nature are secondary and reffered by a unified primary force of nature. There is a 'co-ordination force' in between 'God' and all secondary forces of nature, which is more important than Higgs boson !! I suggest this force is TIME. TIME is invisible presence and the only BASIC BUILDING BLOCK of the Universe and Everything in it ! Deep down, the particles and forces of the universe are a manifestation of TIME. TIME is a coordination force of the Universe and Multiverse referred by Nature. Nothing has independent existence except TIME. All three and extra dimensions of space are of time's dimensions. Time is not a 4th dimension of space. TIME IS ALL DIMENSIONS. PASSWORD of TIME is in the Mind of GOD. Tell me about the NATURE OF TIME, I can create the UNIVERSE, a MACRO BLACK HOLE, Higgs boson and even LIFE ! "If all cosmologists of the world say a foolish thing it is still a foolish thing !" I WILL CHANGE THE HISTORY OF TIME ! I have suggested in my " TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING " that God does not play PARTICLES game with the Universe ! Three of space and one of time that three space dimensions and one of time dimension is wrong idea. Time is included in three space dimensions, but not as a 4th dimension i.e all dimensions of space are dimensions of time. TIME IS NOT A MANUFACTURED QUANTITY. Time has independent existence and fundamental. Space is a manufactured quantity and secondary form of time. I believe in infinite extra spatial dimensions of 'TIME' only, and I know what these dimensions are, but I don't believe time as extra dimension with space. I don't believe in extra dimensions of space, I believe in extra dimensions of time! Three dimensions of space and one dimension of of time is absolutely wrong idea. Our physical universe exists in three or 11 dimensions of time! [as string theory proposed,10 of space and one of time dimension] "There isn't just one dimension of time," says Itzhak Bars of the University of Southern California in Los Angeles."There are two. One whole dimension has until now gone entirely unnoticed by us. Two time / 2T Physics" [New scientist 13 October 2007, Hypertime, Cover story] Why we need two dimensions of time? Why not we need 11 and many more dimensions of TIME ! Higgs boson should be named "TIME PARTICLE"
I don't believe particles in any shape or dimensions as basic building blocks of matter, energy, and everything in the universe. I have an alternative "Fluctuating Extreme Levels" hypothesis which is a part of my "Time Theory of Everything" [Extreme Level Theory] Extreme Level Theory suggests that basic building blocks of everything in the universe are composed of 'Fluctuating Extreme Levels' of energy. In 'Extreme Level Theory' of time, Extreme Levels correspond to different entities and quantities. If Extreme Level Theory proves correct, photons, electrons and neutrinos are different due to changes in the fluctuations of extreme levels. Prior to Extreme Level Theory, subatomic 'particles' were envisioned as tiny balls or points of energy. Extreme Level Theory works on the premise that the tiniest subatomic bits that make up the elements of atoms actually behave like 'Fluctuating Extreme Levels' and not like vibrating or dancing strings! Higg's Field is a "Time's Field"…….. Photon is no more now a particle, a wave, or has features of both! Photon exist at fluctuating extreme level of energy. My "TIME THEORY OF EVERYTHING" will change the meaning of Matter, Energy, Natural Forces, Consciousness, Life & Extraterrestrial Life and Death.
