KELOWNA – The annual fundraising event where teams race around Kelowna in decorated shopping carts is back for the fourth year in a row.
The Arthur Cottie Memorial Push to End Homelessness is a fun way for locals to raise money for Inn From the Cold as well as help spread awareness of the challenges faced by those who live on the streets.
The race kicks off May 23 at the Inn From the Cold emergency winter shelter on Sutherland Avenue. Teams then cross town completing mini challenges along the way. The day wraps up in Kerry Park with a community BBQ, live music and prizes.
Inn from the Cold-Kelowna is a registered charity that provides support services to people experiencing, or at risk of, homelessness in our community. They provide an emergency winter shelter, outreach and case management, a housing program, a homelessness prevention program and a street soccer team.
The PUSH is still open for team registrations, and with three weeks to go you still have time to collect pledges. Get together a group of co-workers, classmates, or friends and register at www.innfromthecoldkelowna.org.

Older Adult Performance Standards
The National Fitness Leadership Alliance (NFLA) Mission/Mandate is as follows: The NFLA is a Canadian partnership dedicated to developing, promoting and implementing national standards for training and certification of fitness leaders in Canada.
The standards are intended to guide course curriculum development and ongoing education initiatives and will provide a minimum set of standards dealing with the knowledge, skills, and values of basic Fitness Leaders. The Performance Standards are intended, as well, to provide a common base from which to design, validate or upgrade examination and practical assessments.
The Older Adult Performance Standards are designed to provide the fitness leadership training and certification organizations throughout Canada with:
- A reference point from which both entry-level training and the continuing education for Fitness Leaders can be planned;
- A clear description of measurable knowledge, values and skills that characterize acceptable practices by competent Fitness Leaders;
- A blueprint for nurturing professional standards for Fitness Leaders;
- A means for improving the quality of fitness services offered to consumers.
These Performance Standards are considered appropriate and necessary for training Fitness Leaders to design and instruct safe, enjoyable and effective fitness class experiences with asymptomatic, generally healthy people.
Competency-Based Approach - Training and Development
The key to a competency-based training approach is to design a program focused on the actual tasks to be performed and to create tools to assess the levels of performance. The list of skills, knowledge, and values combine to describe the attributes of a competent Fitness Leader that is able to design and deliver safe, effective and enjoyable fitness programs.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything you can recognize from Harry Potter. Awesome! chapter image by kaylalay @ TDA
They put Astoria on the fourth floor the floor for spell damage. Ive never thought of Apparition as a spell, really. All the same, they tend her there.
When wed arrived, the reception woman had taken one look at her and said something about a stretcher, stat. A pair of Healers came running and took her from me. They took her to an area reserved for emergencies only, and I was forced to wait in the room they said shed be placed in when they were done with her.
Theyd said she would live.
Id almost fainted with relief.
Now, Im sitting in her room, waiting for them to bring her in. But its taking so long Worrying me. I begin to pace, and nothing but images of her come to mind. Astoria will live. I want to whoop. I want to celebrate.
But shes not back yet. I cant.
Impatience grates on my nerves. I take the stairs to the gift shop.
What would Astoria even want here?
There are cards, pillows, stuffed animals I sigh and lean against a wall. Would she want something from here? I scan a rack of toys.
Thats when I see it something glittery is hiding in the back, between a fluffy duck and a plush walrus. I reach for it and manage to pull it off the giraffe neck its been hooked on. When I pull my hand away from the shelf, a small ring sits in my palm. Trying not to draw too much attention to myself, I put it back on the tiny giraffes neck and take the giraffe with me to the counter. The clerk smiles at me and says I am clever for having put the ring on the gift I suppose she assumes itll go to a special girl that I wish to marry. But shes wrong Astoria wouldnt marry me, even if I felt good enough to ask her.
After paying for it, I hurry back down the stairs. Right before I reach Astorias room, I stop and look at the ring. It looks like a few simple bands of silver woven together almost like threads loosely twined. I look at it for a moment, then take it off the giraffes neck and pocket it. I dont need to give her the ring and the giraffe at the same time. The ring can wait.
She is there when I enter.
It takes all the strength I have not to run to her. Instead, I walk very slowly. She is asleep.
Theyve replaced her bloodstained clothes with a hospital gown, and her face is too pale beneath her dark hair. I sit on the edge of her bed, setting the giraffe plush on her blankets next to me. Taking one of her hands in both of mine, I attempt to warm it, to no avail.
I take a seat in the chair next to the bed, bringing the giraffe with me, and wait for her to wake up. Her small hand is in mine the entire time.
Eventually, I fall asleep.
I wake up with a start.
Astorias grip on my hand tightens. My grip on the little giraffe in my hand tightens.
Opening my eyes, I discover that shes looking at me. Her blue eyes sparkle with a mischief Ive seen in them too many times. Thank you, Draco, she whispers, and takes her hand from mine. She trails her now-free fingers down my cheek.
I probably turn bright red.
Trying to ignore that fact, I close my hand around the giraffes tiny legs and offer it to her. I found this in the gift shop. I thought you might like it, I say softly, looking at my shoes. Theyre in need of a good shine.
She giggles a little, a sound I didnt hear once from her while I was stuck in my old home. She was always just desperate to get me out.
Her hand moves from my cheek to ruffle my hair, and then to take the giraffe from me. I like it, she says. It reminds me of a little blond boy I used to know. He was six or seven Always wanted to play with me. The fingers on her other hand find my chin and force me to look at her. I think you knew him as well?
Standing, I sigh and look away, shaking my head. Not anymore, I whisper, and avoid her gaze.
Well, I guess Ill just have to make do with this new Draco, she says. The signature sad little smile is in her voice.
I glance back at her. Tears glitter in her eyes. I go to my knees next to her bed and wrap my fingers in her long, rich hair. Astoria, I murmur. She looks ready to break.
She does. The dam seems to buckle beneath the weight of everything thats happened to her in the last few hours.
Tears pour from her eyes and trail down her cheeks, pooling in her hair and on her blankets and pillows before soaking in. She reaches and wraps one of her arms around my shoulders. The other holds the giraffe close to her, as if shes trying to get warm. Not wanting her to be cold or lonely, I let go of her hair and embrace her.
She sighs and sniffles, then looks up at me with red-rimmed, puffy eyes. I wish you could be carefree again, Drakey. I wish you could let go of Azkaban, she mutters.
I smile at my childhood nickname. I try, I say. Shes so small in my arms. But Azkaban haunts a memory like nothing else. Youve heard stories You lose all hope there; you lose everything.
She nods and looks at her hand, which rests on my shoulder. She drums the fingers there and moves them to my neck. She smiles up at me, a sadness and a depth to her eyes Ive rarely seen. Her fingers brush softly along my skin to cup my cheek. Draco, she whispers, leaning closer. I can feel her breath on my lips. Dont you know that now, my love, I wont let you go until I have what I want that boy that used to sneak across the road at night to bring me wildflowers?
Youll have a hard time finding him, I reply.
No, she says quietly. Ill never find him unless you want to be him. And you dont want to be him. You want to be who you are now. Her blue eyes search my gaze, and then she leans against my chest and closes her eyes.
I catch just a whisper before she falls asleep.
"Which means I never have to let you go..."

DALLAS/FORT WORTH AIRPORT -- Dallas/Fort Worth Airport will test a security program that will give screeners more latitude to use their instincts and experience to identify terrorists, and get away from the by-the-numbers mentality used to create the Transportation Security Administration.
Although some TSA personnel will continue rote object-hunting at airport checkpoints, other D/FW screeners will concentrate on looking for passengers who act out of the ordinary and all screeners will need to take a more analytical approach, said Kip Hawley, administrator of the TSA.
The program should be in place by year's end.
"We're trying to get the culture change away from just 'stand there,"' Hawley told about 120 TSA screeners and staff at D/FW this week. "That's not going to stop al-Qaida."
Experience working at checkpoints has made airport screeners uniquely qualified to do this job, Hawley said.
"We have seen more images, more people, more shoes than anybody," he told the screeners. "You know what normal looks like."
Under the test program, checkpoint screening will be more a process for vetting passengers' reactions and intent, not just a search for banned items.
But, Hawley said, because the program relies on individual decision-making by the screeners, controversy will likely follow.
"Results will be all over the place," he said.
The agency has been moving incrementally in this direction since 2005. The shift was stepped up in 2006 with the testing of "behavior detection officers," small groups of workers hired specifically to monitor passenger behavior at some airports.
The officers, some of whom work incognito, use simple conversational questions to gauge passenger reactions. They also look for involuntary "microfacial" expressions or body movements. Avoiding eye contact, avoiding police, wearing a thick jacket in 100-degree weather lots of behaviors or combinations of behaviors can be considered suspicious.
In the test program at D/FW, screeners will be trained to make similar observations.
The behavior-analysis strategy goes in tandem with overall efforts to "calm" the checkpoints, which include developing "family" and/or "expert" lanes and pre-screening to reduce bottlenecks.
"That is the piece we're looking at next," Hawley said. "How can we do this process better less menial labor, if you will, on the inside of the checkpoint. Get rid of that work. ... And then use the dollars we use to pay for those people to distribute among the officers who've been around, who have this learning that they've built in."
Automated systems like D/FW's in-line baggage system, which requires less manpower to operate than manual systems, has also created a labor pool for the program.
Reaction is mixed to the TSA's "culture shift."
"We're in favor of anything that can move things along and prevent the bottlenecks," said David Stempler, president of the Maryland-based Air Travelers Association. "It's helpful to try to divide the passengers into those that are suspicious and need more questioning from those that don't and you can just process those passengers."
Behavior-analysis training is possible for screeners at an already sophisticated airport such as D/FW, Stempler said.
However, Bruce Schneier, a security technologist expert and author of "Applied Cryptography" and "Beyond Fear," isn't so sure.
"In general, it's a good idea, but it's got to be done well," Schneier said. "Done poorly, it's just racial profiling."
That comes down to training, which Schneier says he isn't privy to. "It's frustrating because I'm curious too. I don't know if they're doing it right, so the answer is we don't know. The devil's in the details."
Hawley would not disclose details to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on how the screeners will be trained other than to say that special training is necessary.
If implemented nationally, the TSA's cultural change away from the old law enforcement model will be the second attempt at a change since the agency was created after Sept. 11.
Congress created the TSA in November 2001 to replace the security system that had been overseen by the Federal Aviation Administration. The agency began with rigid practices and easy-to-understand goals, such as keeping knives off airplanes.
Initially, the agency was made up largely of military and law enforcement officials. With the resignation of the TSA's first chief, John Magaw, six months after confirmation, the agency hired more officials from the aviation sector and tried to steer toward a more customer-friendly approach.
Still, standard operating procedures based on the early days have continued to be rigidly followed even though the aviation security landscape has evolved drastically.
"We've burned in the SOP and built the whole construct around 'if you do it exactly the way it is in the SOP you get to keep your job, if you don't do exactly what's in the SOP you get to lose your job. We don't want you freelancing,"' Hawley said. "Probably not the best management practice."
At the same time, "You look at the intel and you see these guys are smart, as smart as we are. They know what our technology is, they know what our SOP is. They will craft their attacks so they can get through. They know exactly what they can do and they know they can do it," he said.
During Hawley's talk, some D/FW screeners appeared to be energized at the thought of moving away from monotonous object-hunting and button-pushing. And to a few, it seemed as though the purpose of the screener job is only now starting to come into focus.

In a creative mind, working with vivid imagination and diverse ideas, there is no limit as to what it can conceive – indeed. You roam along the streets and you see design inspiration everywhere. A graffiti vandalism which is considered as a crime against property and harmful to the environment could be seen as an art. You are conscious of the way city lights illuminate beauty on a thing, the way unique concrete patterns perfectly mesh together and the way every single detail becomes something significant – something that could be enhanced, utilized and shared.
Being a huge fan of urban/street photography (Sleepy City is definitely one of my favorites), snapping at anything you don't expect to find – regardless of the place or the subject, I tend to focus more on urban expressions (including people) and intricate designs of ordinary stuff you probably see everyday. Although I am neither a professional photographer nor a brilliant designer, I do appreciate such things and constantly will myself to learn new tips and tricks.
Whether you are serious designer or just an art enthusiast who might need a little help crafting a new set of Photoshop brushes, adding up an element to your artworks and what have you, grab free texture stock photos at Urban Dirty (this is free of ads and you can choose from small to large sizes).
Not enough for you? Let's see if TextureKing still don't have what you need.

CryptProtectData (Windows CE 5.0)
This function performs encryption on the data in a DATA_BLOB structure. Typically, only a user with the same logon credentials as the encrypter can decrypt the data. In addition, the encryption and decryption usually must be done on the same computer. For information about exceptions, see the Remarks section.
Note An untrusted application can call the CryptProtectData function. The call will fail only if CRYPTPROTECT_SYSTEM is specified for the dwFlags parameter.
BOOL WINAPI CryptProtectData( DATA_BLOB* pDataIn, LPCWSTR szDataDescr, DATA_BLOB* pOptionalEntropy, PVOID pvReserved, CRYPTPROTECT_PROMPTSTRUCT* pPromptStruct, DWORD dwFlags, DATA_BLOB* pDataOut );
- pDataIn
- [in] Pointer to a DATA_BLOB structure containing the plaintext to be encrypted.
- szDataDescr
- [in] String with a readable description of the data to be encrypted. This description string is included with the encrypted data.
- pOptionalEntropy
- [in] Pointer to a binary large object (BLOB) containing a password or other additional entropy used to encrypt the data. The BLOB used in the encryption phase must also be used in the decryption phase. This parameter can be set to NULL for no additional entropy.
- pvReserved
- [in] Reserved for future use and must be set to NULL.
- pPromptStruct
- [in] Must be set to NULL because the CRYPTPROTECT_PROMPTSTRUCT structure is not used.
- dwFlags
- [in] Bitmask of flags. The following table shows the flag values that are defined.
Value Description CRYPTPROTECT_LOCAL_MACHINE When this flag is set, it associates the data encrypted with the current computer instead of with an individual user. Any user on the computer on which CryptProtectData is called can use the CryptUnprotectData function to decrypt the data. CRYPTPROTECT_NO_RECOVERY This flag is not supported and is ignored when specified. No recovery mechanism is supported. CRYPTPROTECT_SYSTEM When this flag is set, only a trusted process can encrypt the data. CRYPTPROTECT_UI_FORBIDDEN This flag is used for remote situations where presenting a user interface (UI) is not an option. When this flag is set and the UI is specified for the protect or unprotect operation, the operation fails and the GetLastError function returns the ERROR_PASSWORD_RESTRICTION code.
- pDataOut
- [out] Pointer to a DATA_BLOB structure that receives the encrypted data. If the pbData member of DATA_BLOB is set to NULL, the function allocates memory for the encrypted data. If the pbData is not equal to NULL, the function uses the buffer specified in cbData of the DATA_BLOB. When you want the function to use the specified buffer, you must verify that the structure is initialized. Passing uninitialized DATA_BLOB may cause unexpected results. When you have finished using the DATA_BLOB structure, free its pbData member by calling the LocalFree function.
Return Values
If the function succeeds, the return value is TRUE. If the function fails, the return value is FALSE. For extended error information, call the GetLastError function.
Only a user with logon credentials matching those of the encrypter can decrypt the data. In addition, decryption usually can only be done on the computer where the data was encrypted.
If an application running as a driver or service calls CryptProtectData early in the boot process, before a user has been established, the function will implicitly add the CRYPTPROTECT_LOCAL_MACHINE flag.
Warning If the logon credentials are lost or forgotten, the data is usually unrecoverable. However, if the dwFlags parameter in the CryptProtectData function is set to CRYPTPROTECT_LOCAL_MACHINE with or without additional entropy specified in the pOptionalEntropy parameter, any user on the same computer where the data was encrypted can recover the data.
The function creates a session key to perform the encryption. The session key is derived again when the data is to be decrypted.
The function also adds a message authentication code (MAC), which is a keyed integrity check, to the encrypted data to guard against data tampering.
Under some circumstances, Microsoft cryptographic service providers (CSPs) may not allow encryption when used in France, in which case this function fails with the error code NTE_PERM.
You can store the encryption or master keys used by CryptProtectData in a file in the Windows folder or in the system registry so that certain persistent registry implementations will retain the encryption keys after losing and regaining power. See Master Key Storage for more information.
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.

The British evacuation of Boston, 1776
View this item in the Collection.
On March 25, 1776, only eight days after the British evacuation of Boston, the Continental Congress authorized a medal, "George Washington before Boston," to commemorate the event. During the war, Congress commissioned eleven medals in the Comitia Americana (American Congress) series depicting generals and important battles of the American Revolution. Most of these medals were made in Paris. Although Congress order authorized this first medal in 1776, the first one, in gold, was not presented to Washington until 1790. Many bronze copies of the medal were also made to be given out or sold.
The image on the front is a profile of George Washington from a bust sculpted by Jean-Antoine Houdon at Mount Vernon in October 1785. The sculpture was then sent to Paris in January 1786 to be copied for the medal. The Latin on this side translates as: "The American Congress" ("Comitia Americana") and "The American Congress to George Washington supreme commander of the army [and] defender of liberty" ("Georgio Washington Svmpremo Dvci Exercitvvm Adsertori Libertatis").
The back of the medal shows an engraving of Washington on Dorchester Heights overlooking Boston harbor with four of his officers, all on horseback. Regimented lines of American troops gather below Dorchester Heights. Washington is pointing toward the British fleet, which is leaving Boston nearly a year after the Battles of Lexington and Concord. On the right side of the medal are four cannon—two behind a parapet and two on the ground beside Washington—representing the British artillery taken by the Americans at Fort Ticonderoga. Henry Knox and his men dragged the cannon across New York and Massachusetts in the winter of 1775–1776. These cannon sitting high above the harbor threatened the British fleet, forcing them to flee and abandon Boston. The engraver, Pierre Simon Benjamin Duvivier, put his own name on one of the cannon. The inscriptions on the back read: "For the first time the enemies are put to flight" ("Hostibus Primo Fugatis") and "Boston retaken /17 March /1776" ("Bostonium Recuperatum / Xvii Marti / Mdcclxxvi").
The members of the Continental Congress recognized that Washington's victory in Boston would rally colonists to support the Revolution. Americans have often memorialized heroes by placing their images on medals and coins. Today the coins used in the United States include images of Presidents Washington, Roosevelt, Jefferson, and Lincoln, and presidents and other important figures are commemorated on paper money as well.

Fillmore Ave. L Continues Winning Ways
For nine years straight, Fillmore Real Estate at 9317 Avenue L has held the crown of achievement by being awarded literally scores and scores of trophies and tributes.
It was fitting, therefore, that when they held their annual award dinner at the El Caribe last week, they came geared to carry home multiple amounts of special cups, plaques and certificates — as usual.
William Reinhardt, Sr., who established and founded Fillmore Real Estate, along with his son John were on hand to see Jean Paul Ho, manager of the Avenue L office, officiate at a ceremony that saw trophy after trophy go into the hands of some of the top salespeople and agents in the business.
"We have a right to be proud," said Jean Paul. "Everyone from our office has worked hard and earned their just rewards."
He said the Avenue L Fillmore office was not only Number One for closings from deals to contract, but reached more than $2 million in net closings for the year. He also proudly announced that his staff had been garnering top trophies since 1996 — and that they expect to keep up the pace in the years to come.

Read by the author himself, here is Tony Benn's record of the recent history of British politics, comprising three wars, three general elections, six party leaders, and two Prime Ministers. Political observations are entwined with a moving account of family life.
Chronicling his final decades as a Member of Parliament, the diaries encompass political events, gossip, and entertaining observations. The focus is on the years leading up to his retirement, his anxiety about whether or not to stand again, and his great sorrow when his wife Caroline is diagnosed with cancer. Throughout, his honesty and integrity shine through.
© and (P)2003 BBC Audiobooks Ltd
"The best political diarist of our time." (Financial Times)
"A unique insight into 1990s British Politics"
Regardless of ones views on his politics, you can't but be warmed by this personal account of a remarkable decade in British Politics.
Tony Benn brings a unique, witty and warm insight into some of the headlines of the day; his diary style is light - yet profound, happy, moving and sometimes sad moments are captured.
For the benefit of US listeners - Tony Benn is unique. Here he is reading his own diaries - and really bringing them to life. He is easy to listen to; a familiar voice retelling his experiences.
I recommend this audiobook.
"An honourable man"
Never one to openly admit to being a socialist or indeed, particularly political in any way, I was unsure when a colleague suggested that I listen to this audio book by Tony Benn. My usual reading however does include some historical books so I thought 'hey why not'. And how glad I am that I took my friend's advice. This was an excellent book read with real feeling by the author. Not only did it give a great insight into the politics of the times, its characters and the behind-the-scenes goings on within parliament. But it also gave an insight into the man himself. Tony Benn comes across as a real honest, principled man and he reads his diaires with real feeling. He also comes across as a real family man who cared passionately about his wife and family. Tears literally rolled down my face as he talked in choked tones about the death of his beloved wife and again as he talked with immense pride of his son, Hilary's rise to become an MP himself. I could not recommend this book highly enough. It is never a dry political diary by any means. This is a man of a bygone age but whose principles and ideals are some things that our current political leaders could do well to embrace.
"Not what you might expect; try it."
Whatever your political persuasion, I defy anyone not to find this book moving, enthralling, and full of incite. Tony Benn has a wonderfully light touch when describing events, and personalities, and he shows great generosity and respect to all sides. There is no political preaching or dogma, and he is refreshingly honest in his assessment of his own day to day work and achievements. The result is uplifting and restorative; there are people in public life who really care.
"Tony Benn: Free at Last!"
As an avid reader of political diaries, I was looking forward to listening to Tony Benn. He does not disappoint. A touching and deeply personal perspective, and some delightful insights into his family life as well as his political one. Not as self-obsessed or acidic as Alan Clarke, but just as individual and independent minded. A refreshing change from the gloss and spin of the party machine.
"Don't hesitate"
I was wary of buying this because I don't altogether support the author's political position, however I find spoken voice a pure magnet!
In the event these fairly recent diaries are a joy. He combines his high principles with a schoolboy disregard of everyone else's, like most politicians he has a high opinion of himself.
That said, he was by this time a lone voice in his party and pulls little punches.
Of Gordon Brown he said he wouldn't employ him as a research assistant!
Please do not miss this very entertaining and enlightening book.
"It made me cry"
This political diary is fascinating. I have always admired Tony Benn, I found his book very moving to the point that it made me cry
It is interesting to hear Tony's life as an MP, and as a man. It is very very sad when his beloved wife passe's away.
When his wife passes away.
When his wife passes away.
I do not know why, but it is very engaging.

VANCOUVER, BC — According to a microbial ecologist speaking at a conference here, bacteria on hands leaves a "print" on surfaces that can be identified at up to 95 percent certainty, and this practice may have a future in forensic investigations, Business Insider Australia reported.
Rob Knight explained that two humans can have wildly different bacteria living on their skin, and a study tested whether this bacteria could be recovered from sources like keyboards and computer mice, the article stated.
In 2010, this technique was tested at 70 to 90 percent accurate, and the accuracy rate is rapidly improving, according to the article.
In the test, Knight and his colleagues compared bacteria on three keyboards to bacteria living on their own fingers, and the results were different enough to show who had used the different keyboards, the article noted.
The study authors admitted DNA samples currently are more accurate, but this bacterial testing could provide a more "personally identifying" picture than other accepted techniques, the article stated.

Eight Israeli Parliament members led by Parliament speaker Avraham Burg have arrived in Morocco under tight security and amidst protests for the 107th meeting of the International Parliamentary Union (IPU), which began Sunday. The conference in Marrakesh will continue through March 23.
Moroccan non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have denounced the Israeli visit, with one Muslim group calling on Rabat to ban the Israeli delegation.
"This delegation of Zionists must be banned from trampling over Moroccan territory," said another NGO, the Moroccan Association in Support of the Palestinian Struggle.
"Any normalization with the Jewish state qualifies as support for Zionist crimes against the Palestinian people."
Burg leads the Israeli delegation, which arrived on Saturday and is being protected by both Israeli and Moroccan bodyguards, local officials said Sunday, according to AFP.
Moroccan authorities have stopped the Israeli bodyguards from entering the country with their guns, the Moroccan newspaper Al Jomhour reported. Local authorities could not confirm the claims.
On Friday, protestors denounced the Israeli presence at the parliamentary meeting at a demonstration held at a Marrakesh university, the newspaper added.
The visiting Israeli Parliament Members are scheduled to hold talks outside the IPU, particularly with Raymond Forni, the leader of the French lower house National Assembly, on the situation in the Middle East.
Apart from the conflict in the Middle East, the IPU meeting will focus on Afghanistan, the fight against terrorism, globalization and the Kyoto protocol on climate change. (Albawaba.com)

I, too, like the Cael, spelling.
When you say, "which names can you see with it," do you mean as a full name or as a sibset?
Going from you signature list...
As a sib-set (b. & b.), I like: Gable & Cael or Enoch & Cael..
As a full name, I like: Jasper Cael or perhaps, Cael Jasper.
I do not find Cael, very feminine, but if you were going to use it as a middle name, I like: Lydia Cael, Josephine Cael, Amelia Cael, & Nora Cael.
As a sib-group (b. & g.) I like: Lilac & Cael or Winter & Cael.
Personally, I do not find that Cael, flows well with Gabriel or Easton.

Two huge promotions in the prospect world this week, as Anthony Rizzo made his much-awaited debut at first base for the Cubs, while strikeout machine Trevor Bauer gets the starting nod Thursday for the D-Backs.
Meanwhile, the Oakland Athletics were powered to victory Sunday by two rookies, as A.J. Griffin went pitch-for-pitch with Matt Cain in his MLB debut, and catcher Derek Norris hit a walk-off three-run bomb for his first big-league home run. Tampa Bay rookie Chris Archer dueled with Stephen Strasburg and certainly held his own, allowing two earned runs over six innings while fanning seven.
With Bryce Harper and Mike Trout both exceeding everyone's wildest expectations in their first campaigns, it certainly pays to follow the phenoms. Let's look at who's on deck in this week's Minor League Barometer.
Jean Segura, SS, LAA -ĀSegura finally appears fully recovered from last season's hamstring woes, as he is slashing .287/.330/.413 with seven home runs, 34 RBI and 27 steals through 75 games for Double-A Arkansas. Though power may not end up being his forte, the 22-year-old has still shown some pop with his standout speed. He could draw a few more walks, but he doesn't strikeout an exorbitant amount. Segura is a possible .300 hitter with 30-steal potential at a scarce position at the big-league level.
Mason Williams, OF, NYY - The 20-year-old outfielder has been scalding the ball recently for Low-A Charleston, batting .372/.386/.767 over his last 10 games. Perhaps most notable, Williams has hit four home runs and knocked in seven runs over that span. In 63 games overall, Williams is batting .307/.356/.508 with eight home runs, 27 RBI and 18 stolen bases. He's also fanned just 28 times this year, showing a knack for putting the ball in play. If his power surge continues, Williams could be one of the more coveted prospects in the game heading into 2013.
Kyle Crick, P, SF - The 19-year-old righty has not allowed an earned run over his past three starts for Low-A Augusta, a span of 18 innings. Over that time, Crick has surrendered just five hits, walked eight and punched out 22 batters. In all, Crick has notched a 2.79 ERA and 73:34 K:BB ratio in 58 innings. Though his control needs work, it is hard to argue with the overall results thus far, which include a minuscule .190 BAA, and a respectable 1.30 GO:AO ratio. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder could be a future star for the Giants.
Jackie Bradley, OF, BOS - Bradley recently earned a promotion to Double-A after incredible numbers at High-A Salem. The 22-year-old batted .359/.480/.526 with three home runs, 34 RBI and 16 steals in 67 games. Considering defense was supposed to be Bradley's greatest strength, his superior batting line only adds to his intrigue as an up-and-coming phenom. He doesn't project to hit for much power but has excellent plate discipline and decent speed. Bradley's eagle eye could have him on the fast track to the majors, in particular due to the struggles of the Red Sox to find durable outfielders lately. Certainly Bryce Brentz will have something to say about that, though.
Brett Jackson, OF CHC - Now that Anthony Rizzo has finally gotten the call to the big leagues, Jackson is the next Cubs prospect to watch. Jackson smashed home runs in three straight games over the weekend, pushing his power numbers to 11 dingers and 31 RBI. However, he's fanned an absurd 110 times in 74 games and is hitting just .238 against right-handed pitching. He's clearly a bit lost at the dish despite possessing a nice combination of power and speed. With the glut of outfielders on the Cubs with Bryan LaHair's move from first base, Jackson will likely stay down in Triple-A for the time being.
Trevor Rosenthal, P, STL - The 22-year-old from Cowley County Community College has been a pleasant surprise for the Cardinals. Rosenthal has a 2.85 ERA and 71:34 K:BB ratio through 82 innings for Double-A Springfield. Opposing batters are hitting just .203 against the 6-2 righty. Though he induced more ground balls in the past, Rosenthal has still accumulated a 1.20 GO:AO ratio in 2012. Since this is his first full season of enormous success, make sure Rosenthal is the real deal before snatching him. Bear in mind that he did fan 133 batters in 120 innings last year at Low-A Quad Cities, though.
Sean Gilmartin, P, ATL - The No. 28 overall selection in the 2011 draft, Gilmartin has been dealing over his past 10 starts. He has compiled a 3.39 ERA and 53:17 K:BB ratio in 61 innings. The 22-year-old lefty has held left-handed hitters to a putrid .170 BAA. Gilmartin also benefits from the recent struggles of Randall Delgado and Julio Teheran, as well as the injury to Arodys Vizcaino. Nevertheless, Gilmartin's upside is limited despite his supreme command. It's tough to see him as a front-of-the-rotation starter since righties hit him fairly well, and he isn't overpowering. That's not to say he can't be a successful pitcher at the highest level, only that he may not live up to his lofty draft slot.
Gerrit Cole, P, PIT - Cole has not been pushed as hard as fellow collegiate draft picks Trevor Bauer and Danny Hultzen despite being the No. 1 pick out of UCLA last season. Cole dominated High-A as he should have, with a 2.55 ERA and 69:21 K:BB ratio in 67 innings. However, in just his second start for Double-A Altoona, the 23-year-old was bombed for three runs on five hits in just one inning pitched. Despite stellar pitching in 2012 at the big-league level, none of the Pirates' current starters are homegrown products. With the lack of pitching developed on the Pittsburgh farm over the last decade, Cole may not be as sure of a thing as people think.
Jenrry Mejia, P, NYM - The 22-year-old is back in the bullpen, which clearly diminishes much of his fantasy value. In his limited duty recently he hasn't been sharp either, allowing eight runs over his last 1.2 innings. Mejia has failed to a record a strikeout over that span despite walking four batters. Frank Francisco is on the DL for the Metropolitans with Bobby Parnell serving as the interim closer. The Mets have had one of the worst bullpen ERAs in the bigs this season. In other words, despite a clear call for Mejia's talents, he hasn't been able to put things together thus far in 2012.
Tim Beckham, SS, TB - The Barometer has never been kind to Beckham. He was viewed as a reach as the No. 1 overall selection in 2008. He has never hit above .275 in any single season since entering the minors, with a career-high .346 on-base percentage. He has only stolen more than 20 bases once and hit double-digit home runs once as well. Add a 50-game suspension for drug issues earlier this season and a .197 batting average in 16 games since his return to Triple-A Durham, and Beckham continues to be a colossal disappointment for the Rays.
Keyvius Sampson, P, SD - Sampson had a breakout 2011 campaign in which he posted a 2.90 ERA and 143:49 K:BB ratio in 118 innings at High-A. The 21-year-old has come crashing back down to earth this season, with a bloated 5.90 ERA. Command has been Sampson's biggest problem, as he has walked 44 batters in 71.2 innings, including 31 over his last 47.2 innings. He has walked at least three batters in eight of his last nine outings. The strikeout potential is there, but Sampson will not be able to advance until he can improve his control.
Michael Choice, OF, OAK - Oakland's track record of developing hitting prospects has not been the greatest in recent memory. The aforementioned Derek Norris and Josh Reddick were already essentially MLB-ready by the time they were traded to Oakland. Meanwhile, Chris Carter, Grant Green and Michael Taylor are just a few names of former hot-shot prospects whose stocks have taken a nosedive during their time with the A's organization. Choice could be headed down that path as well, as he is batting just .171 over his last 10 contests. Perhaps of greater concern, though, has been the power outage for Choice this season. After belting 30 home runs for High-A Stockton in 2011, the 22-year-old has just six long balls in 73 games for Double-A Midland. As power is his greatest asset, Choice certainly has some kinks to work out to place himself back on the prospect map.

It's pretty much a misconception that one need to be in debt to have good credit. Not only it isn't true, most of time it's quite opposite, many will tell you it's very difficult to maintaining their credit scores while they are in debt, might it be high(er) credit card utilizations and or new loans, even getting just one inquiry might lower your score, so credit scores themselves are giving you sings not to over use your credit. Many others have solid credit reports/scores by having little to no debt.
It's the consumers got themselves in financial troubles, when they given into the temptations, rather than wait till they save up? They want it now, over extended themselves, trapping themselves in a cul-de-sec of ever mounting debt that they can't find a way out of it.
Although I do understand some might not have much of choices when comes to debt, when they need go into debt just to buy their kids new backpacks or pair of shoes, however plenty others do have the choice of not going into debt to buy a new thousand dollar cell phones. It's just easier to blame credit than ourselves.

If you read the articles provided by this site (which is here to teach how credit works) you would understand that a good credit score will open the door to lowerm= interest rates. I learned a lot and have benefitted greatly, and I'm on a disability pension, getting the long running debts paid off because of the ability to do balance transfers. Credit is a game that needs to be played carefully for the maximum benefit and learning how to play the game is such a delight!!!

NEW YORK, Nov. 21 (UPI) -- Gold prices rose Wednesday as the Reserve Bank of India banned banks from loans earmarked for gold purchases.
The bank said the ban was meant to discourage speculative gold purchases. Borrowing could continue for gold purchases for jewelers, however, the banks said.
Gold added $4.90 or 0.28 percent to reach $1,728.50 per troy ounce on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, rising for the second consecutive day.
Silver nudged higher, closing up 43 cents or 1.3 percent to $33.45 per ounce.
The dollar index was flat. The euro rose to $1.283 from Tuesday's $1.2818. Against the yen, the dollar rose to 82.52 yen from 81.69 yen.

The many facets of Johnny Winter
Owls Head — In the midst of the 1960s British invasion of blues-based artists such as Eric Clapton and even the Beatles, Johnny Winter was probably the first American blues artist I followed, until I discovered Chess Records by going to school outside of Chicago. Winters was to have been part of Saturday night's show at the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland, but he died July 16 while on tour in Zurich, Switzerland.
In the third of the brief interview clips in the "Live From Japan" DVD, reviewed below, Winter was asked why he still performed and the then 67-year-old musician answered it was because he loved playing. Then he added, "I'm going to keep playing until I'm dead ... maybe a little after." His younger brother, Edgar Winter, also part of the Rock 'n' Blues Fest tour, has decided that Saturday's show will go on as a tribute to his brother. Those also performing include members of Vanilla Fudge, Pete Rivera of Rare Earth and Kim Simmonds of Savoy Brown.
Johnny Winter: True to the Blues, The Johnny Winter Story (Columbia/Legacy, 4 CDs, 4:28:44). Issued to celebrate the 70th birthday of Winter last February, this is the first comprehensive overview of the Texas guitar phenom's career. The four CDs provide a chronological sequence of studio and live material that are sourced from no less than 27 separate albums on the Imperial, Columbia, Blue Sky/Epic, Alligator, Point Blank (Virgin), Friday Music, Megaforce, and Columbia/Legacy labels. These range from his independently recorded and released "The Progressive Blues Experiment" in 1968 ("Bad Luck And Trouble," "Mean Town Blues") through 2011's all-star duets project, "Roots" ("Maybelline" with Vince Gill, "Dust My Broom" with Derek Trucks).
Winter grew up a student of the blues masters -- Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf and their slide guitarists, Pete Hare, Jimmy Rogers and Hubert Sumlin -- learning to feel the blues. Trying to figure out how Robert Johnson and Elmore James created their slip-slide sound, he finally found a pipe in a plumbing supply store and had some pieces cut to the right length, creating the custom steel slide he used throughout his career. When he first started to gain attention in 1968 as a fleet-fingered albino guitarist, he landed one of the largest advances in the history of the recording industry. The memorable evening he sat in with Michael Bloomfield and Al Kooper at the Fillmore East in New York City is captured here in an 11-minute version of B.B. King's "It's My Own Fault."
In his liner notes for the box set, Guitar World Editor-in-Chief Brad Tolinski discusses how Winter's "rapid-fire guitar slithers and skitters like liquid mercury around his nuanced vocals filled with self-mockery and fleeting moments of real pain" on "Be Careful with a Fool" from his 1969 CBS debut album. Tolinski testifies that "no one has ever played slide guitar with the pure, lusty abandon of Winter. His bottleneck sound is so loose and free you can't even compare it to a rollercoaster ride, because tracks and rails restrain rollercoasters."
Highlights of Winter's slide work include "Dallas," "Highway 61 Revisited" and "Mean Town Blues." There was an epic performance at the Woodstock Festival ("Leland Mississippi Blues" is included here), but he was not in the famous film because his manager thought he would not make any money. Nonetheless, with his second album, 1969's "Second Winter," Winter moved towards rock with covers of Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Bob Dylan. (The album was unique in that he was double vinyl, but music was only pressed on three sides.)
Some of my favorite Winter work came in the early Seventies, when he hooked up with guitarist/songwriter Rick Derringer from the McCoys ("Hang on Sloopy"). Derringer's compositions here include the hit "Rock and Roll, Hoochie Koo," "On the Limb" and "Still Alive and Well." Previously unreleased live material from Atlanta Pop, with Derringer, Randy Hobbs on bass and brother Edgar filling in for the ill drummer, are a cover of "Eyesight to the Blind" and Winter's own "Prodigal Son." Other live tracks, which sizzle, from this period include "Mean Mistreater," a cover of the Rolling Stones "Jumpin' Jack Flash," "Good Morning Little School Girl" and "Mean Town Blues."
While Winter stuck with rock through the mid-Seventies, including the 1976 album "Together" with brother Edgar, that period ended with 1976's live album, "Captured Live." He was then drawn back to the blues, playing on and producing Muddy Waters' last four albums. The first three were studio albums, each of which won the Grammy Award for Best Ethnic or Traditional Album; the fourth was a live album. In all, this is an outstanding collection. Grade: A+
Johnny Winter: Live From Japan (MVD Visual DVD, NR, 86 min.). The concert was recorded on April 15, 2011 in Tokyo, the final night of a three-night stand. The band includes Winter on guitar and vocals, Paul Nelson on guitar, Scott Spray on bass and Vito Liuzzi on drums and vocals (he sings lead on the rocker "Tore Down"). One nice part of the presentation is the frequent close-ups of Winter's fingers while he is playing.
However, as always, it is the music that is impressive, ranging from Freddie King's "Hideaway" to the bluesy trio of "Sugar Coated Love" and "She Likes to Boogie Real Low" (it is wonderful how Winter's guitar answers his vocal lines). After a brief interview bit about working with Muddy Waters, it is back to onstage and a cover of Waters' "Got My Mojo Working." A rocking "Johnny B. Goode" follows, before it is back to the blues with "Blackjack" (a tribute to Ray Charles). The blues of "Don't Take Advantage of Me" turns into a rocking "Bonie Maronie and "It's All Over Now" (popularized by the Rolling Stones). For the encores of "Dust My Broom" and "Highway 61," Winter plays his 1964 Gibson Firebird slide guitar. Grade: A
Leslie West: Still Climbing (Provogue CD, 45:47). Johnny Winter also was a frequent guest on other artists' records, an example of which is when h e plays the second half of the solo on the bluesy "Busted Disgusted or Dead" on the latest album by West. West, of course, was the titanic guitarist/frontman of Mountain. This is his first release since having his right leg amputated in 2011.
West and his wife, Jenni, co-wrote six of the songs, the best of which are "Not Over You at All" (with Arno Hecht of the Uptown Horns on sax) and the stripped down "Tales of Woe," which is pretty. West also reaches back to 1969 and his first album, "Leslie West Mountain," for "Long Red," which he makes much heavier. In his liner notes, West writes that he read on Wikipedia that "Long Red" is one of the most sampled songs in hip hop, used by, among others, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Common and NAS. Plus, Lana Del Ray recently sampled it. West's brother, Larry, who was also in his first group, The Vagrants, plays bass on the track.
The album also has some surprising, and surprisingly effective, covers, including "Fade into You" from the TV show "Nashville." His version goes big on the choruses. He dips into Broadway for Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse's "Feeling Good" (from "The Roar of the Greasepaint -- The Smell of the Crowd") with co-vocals by Dee Snider (Twisted Sister and who actually has a whole album of show tunes out, "Dee Does Broadway"). Two other highlights are the muscular "Dyin' Since I Was Born," a new song by his co-writer Leslie A. Weinstein and Jon Tiven (as is "Busted Disgusted or Dead") that features guitarist Mark Tremonti of Creed and Alter Bridge on the last two solos, and a cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman," with Jonny Lang co-singing and playing the guitar on the right, while West plays the guitar on the left. Grade: A-

Look Again
10009 Manhattan
Look Again
curated by Louis Yungling
Artist: Michael Mut
March 1 - April 7, 2012
Reception: Sat. March 10, 2-5 pm
The "synthetic cubist" works of Picasso are the inspiration for artist Michael Mut's re-imaginings titled Look Again.
In 2005 Mut's predominant artistic output consisted of collage's constructed of photos, paintings, drawings, and other mixed media objects.
Focusing on Picasso's experimentation with the "plastic volume" of the human form, Mut applies the same experimentation to Picasso's art. Finding the plastic nature of Picasso's work and adding a new layer of vibrant interpretational experimentation.
Look Again is both a mirror to humanity and an historic document on the creative journey. The artist seeks to find deeper levels of meaning in the world around him. Art is created, becomes part of the world around him and is looked at again for deeper meaning and new creative opportunities. One generation helping the next, the master guiding the student, the student honoring the master. The student discovering himself.
And then he looks again.

There is so much talk about the government rebate and a good deal of criticism.

There is so much talk about the government rebate and a good deal of criticism.
What are you going to do with your rebate? Do you think it will kick-start the economy?
Well, if I were getting one (which I am not), I would use it to get Jasper a Road Hound pet carrier for the back of my motorcycle.
Thank you Wolf_Q!
You know it was all over the news up here yesterday. I wonder if our government is listening. ha!
Has it actually been passed by the White House yet?? Sorry, have not listened to the news yet today. Last I heard only Congress passed it.
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
Sometimes the most real things in the world are the things we can't see
--Polar Express
Until one has loved an animal, part of their soul remains unawakened.
I don't normally get a rebate, not sure if this change (once it passes) will give me one. I don't believe in paying in MORE than I owe and having the govt earn the interest on MY money. If I am going to be lending, I want interest on the LOAN!
So I always work it out so that I have a small balance due (under $150).
However, should I get one, it is already spent; on pet stuff.
Well ... I should put it in savings, but -- I'm thinking of buying one of those pet stroller contraptions for Cassie. I'm going to need a high-definition compatible TV, too. I plan to give away part of it.
I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!
Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

I always overpay because I don't want to get to February and be like, "SURPRISE! You owe a ton of money!", because I'd rather get money back than have to pay hundreds, or thousands.
♥ facebook ♥
Well, I have no shortage of places to send the money, but I'll wait to
see if this happens at all. As to the economy, no, it will not help at all.
The economy needs major surgery. The last 8 yrs with "conserative"
repubicans calling the shots, our economy & status as a nation has suffered
severe hits.

I heard on the news this am that May is the month where the checks should be mailed out. It is hard for me to imagine how approximately $1800 (two adults, two kids) could turn someone's life around, let alone spark a change in the economy.
"Free" money is "free" money, and I wouldn't turn it down. But, I am holding my breath about the upswing of the economy.
Since I'm on disability and don't work any more, or make enough to even file income tax, I'll probably not get one.
Now if they want to make sure the money goes back into the economy, they should give it to the poorer people. They would spend it for sure: to survive.
No matter what anyone does, someone some where will be offended some how!!!!
Grandma (RB), Chester, Angel, Chip
Leonardo (RB), Luke (RB), Winnie, Chuck,
I think it is silly to think that handing out money will help the conomy enough to turn it around, with so many Americans in so much debt - and whose money is it? It's our tax dollars in the first place. They would just be taking from us to give it to us. All political hoooey, in my humble opinion. It's not like they are giving us money from some huge government surplus, instead the government itself is in record deficit territory. Do they think we're all dumb enough to forget that?
I already told hubby that I want to use it to get our furrballs up to date on their white coat visits....not telling them that quite yet though....
momoffuzzyfaces: Supposedly the rebate will be available even for people who do not earn enough to file an income tax form. If that is true, you should be able to get one.
Since I just got in a car accident, I'm going to have a big whole in my saving account that needs to be patched. In other words, no frivilous spending for me. I think it's going to take a long time for them to get the checks out, not good. I won't get much either since I'm a worthless single college grad with no children. I expect with all this goings on I'll probably lose out as compared to my normal rebate.

Do you like me?
Why do you capture my photograph?
Will you sell me in any news paper?

Are there any hope for us in future?....

Hello Subhendu
A very effective photograph. The b/w treatment is entirely appropriate to the serious and down-beat subject. Of course it's the expression that is what makes the image, and probably what would have stopped me taking it. You certainly need some nerve to capture candids of this sort, when clearly the subject knew what you were doing, and was not in a cooperative mood. I'm interested in the dynamics of the process: did you speak to him; ask permission; apologise??
It works!

Avoid plagiarism when writing a PhD dissertation
Sep 02, 2012 - Posted to
Dissertation Writing
A dissertation paper is the most important essay that will be completed by a PhD student prior to being awarded his PhD degree. The length of the essay and the volume of the work involved means it will be easy for the student to be tempted to cheat. Sometimes students cheat unknowingly when they do not cite all the sources they made use of.
Learning how to avoid plagiarism while writing your dissertation can be quite overwhelming especially when you are expected to cover large volumes of work. The last thing a student would want to do is to be slammed with plagiarism and possibly lose his chances of receiving his PhD degree. You can avoid plagiarism if you follow these simple rules.
The essence of a dissertation is to bring in an original idea that has not been before explored. In other to get these original ideas in place, it is necessary to do a lot of research and consult large volume of books, journals and articles in the process; this is where the problem lies. In the process of consultation, it is easy to disguise other people's idea as your own. Do this and you are guilty of plagiarism. The best way to avoid this is to carefully write down all the sources you are using for your dissertation. Make a note that contains all the ideas you lifted from your sources. Include the page numbers, chapters and even paragraphs where you got your main ideas from. Equally important is the name of the book or journal you sourced your ideas from. Do not forget to include the author(s) name(s) and date of publication. This component constitutes a good citation.
Once you have cited all your sources in text, it is a pretty good idea to organise them into your reference and bibliography. A reference list contains all the works cited in the body of the paper. A bibliography on the hand is similar. The difference is that a bibliography includes all work or sources that were not cited in the body of your dissertation paper. It also includes those that were cited. For
PhD dissertations
, it is usually better to compile a bibliography rather than a reference list. It may happen that you got an idea that was not cited in text. It is necessary that it is included in your bibliography.
Present all your ideas in original format. Do not be tempted to make it sound like the wordings found in your favourite book. Do this and you may be accused of plagiarism even though the original idea was yours to begin with. Learn how to make your original idea uniquely yours. Do not cite your original ideas. These uniquely belong to you and no one else. Unless you already have a published work that you feel like quoting, there is no need to credit your ideas to another author. The hallmark of an original work is the amount of fresh ideas that is added to it. These ideas need not be plagiarised. They must come from you as the author of a work. The tips listed above are meant to give you a head start on writing a non plagiarised dissertation.

Cowboys nose tackle Josh Brent has a court date set for September 23 and, judging by the comments of the team's executive vice president, Stephen Jones, Dallas will wait until the legal process plays out to make a decision on Brent's future with the team.
"Josh's situation is obviously one that will take care of itself," Jones said last week, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "He's working through his legal issues and I'm sure the NFL and the Cowboys at that point will know where we stand."
Of course, Brent is facing intoxication manslaughter charges stemming from the single-car accident that claimed the life of practice squad linebacker, and Brent's best friend, Jerry Brown, Jr. last December. He faces up to 20 years if he is convicted.
Per Clarence Hill of the Star-Telegram, Jones was noncommittal when asked if Dallas would consider cutting ties with Brent in order to free up a roster spot going into training camp.
"I don't have any comment other than what I said," Jones said. "We'll monitor what happens legally and go from there."

Ive done research on this site and others. From what I have found, upgrading to 4.2 is something I should not do. All of the information I have found talks about downgrading to 3.2 then installing 4.1<<<where I want to be. I cant actually downgrade from 2.2 to 3.2, so how do I upgrade to 3.x to install 4.1? This will be on a virgin wii Ive had for almost 3 years.
Ipsa scientia potestas est.
Warning: Piracy is NOT supported. Word your questions carefully.
Just in case you didn't know. NSMB is New Super Mario Bros.
O-o how come NSMB has 4.1 on the disc and it needs 4.2 to play it?(Before my wii was moded and 4.1, it would not play NSMB original disc with out an update..)
NSMB does not require 4.2, you can quite easily run it on 3.0. It just requires a new version of IOS.
Not really doing much Wii stuff these days.
Updated via NSMB, modded and now running games off of an old 320g wd passport. Smooth as buttah! Its set at 4.1u and ive found no problems running anything ive thrown at it. Now i need to mod my parents wii. LOL
