Evening gents,
I've been following the 3.1-4.1 modding tutorial by dogeggs. Everything was going swimmingly, until I tried to install the 4.1 firmware. I get this error:
Downloading "System Menu 4.1U", please wait...
>> Downloading ticket... ERROR! (ret= -1)
I checked the errors thread and it was a pretty nonspecific one, saying maybe I'd done something wrong. So I went back over the instructions again, double checking what actions I'd taken...
Install bootmii, DVDX, HBC..check.
Backup NAND...check.
Run TBR...check.
install cIOS...wait..whoops!!
I missed the cIOS step and went on to the next step. Totally nervous due to all the 'definitely install IOS60-patched FIRST' warnings, I went ahead and did that..then tried to run the firmware updater to no avail.
When I realized this, I went and did the cIOS step, did the IOS60-patched install again (noticing this time that IOS249 was an option) and tried the firmware again. Still no love.
So, I know I screwed up here.. I ran the IOS60-patched install against IOS60 instead of IOS249. Is this why the firmware updater won't work? Is there something I can do to fix it?
I've searched through the forums but I haven't found anyone being an idiot in the exact same way as me. And the 'make your Wii a virgin' thread has the 4.1 updater as step #1.
My system menu is 3.3, my system boots, plays games and homebrew fine. Just can't update to get priiloader and Neogamma or any of those steps.
Thanks in advance!

Loving "healing" instead of "drama"
|Jul 22, 2014
with John Tyler, CSB July 22, 2014 - Sentinel Audio Chat
Audio begins on July 22, 2014 at 2:00 pm EDT. Please come back to hear the broadcast!
Whether you're faced with drama that is unexpected, or something that has been building for a time, you can begin to experience the powerful love of God that stops drama in it's tracks and restores peace and joy to our daily lives.
About John Tyler: John was introduced to Christian Science as a teenager and felt he needed to test the "science" part right away. His opportunity came soon when he accidentally broke open a hornets' nest and he was able to prove God's existence as an immediate total protection. Not a sting! John knew he was going to have to literally prove God's existence every day, when he switched from full-time professional political scientist to full-time professional Christian Scientist, as a Christian Science practitioner.
John currently works as a Christian Science practitioner and teacher in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The Probability of Evolution
Job 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. Evolutionists explain that life started from non-living matter in some sort of "primeval soup." Over the years, they have presented several scenarios of how this might have happened. They have suggested isolated ponds, pools of water on the sides of volcanoes, and in the oceans. Let's consider the general mathematical principles involved in any of these scenarios. In science, the person who proposes a theory is supposed to present the evidence for that theory. Yet, for the incredible claim that life sprang into being out of non living materials, no evidence is offered. Just how incredible are evolution's claims about the origin of life? Given the conditions evolutionists claim existed at the origin of life, the chance of evolving the simple, common, iso 1 cytochrome "c" protein is one chance out of one followed by 75 zeros. But that's not a living, reproducing thing. Given the same conditions, the chance of getting a DNA molecule with the ability to reproduce is 100 billion, billion to one. The chance of getting a minimal cell works out to one chance out of a 1 followed by 4,478,296 zeros! Rigorous examination of evolution's claims about the origin of life shows that every evolutionary claim about how life started is just as fanciful. As every believer has testified, God is the source of all life, including yours and mine. It has always been so and will always be so. Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, I thank You for the gift of life and eternal life. Amen.

Brothers on a hot stretch out of 'pen
By Thomas Harding / MLB.com
Rosario learning plenty during time in bigs
DENVER -- Rockies catcher Wilin Rosario compares his rookie season with the Rockies to being in a classroom, one he hopes to keep attending.A strong Spring Training allowed Rosario to skip Triple-A and break camp with the club. The move is risky, since Rockies veteran Ramon Hernandez is making most of the starts. Rosario could be playing every day at Triple-A Colorado Springs. "Here, it's like school," Rosario said. "I've got tests I need to pass, things I need to learn. I'm learning every day." At times, Rosario, 23, has excelled in limited playing time. He has thrown out five of the 11 runners who have tried to steal against him. But he entered Tuesday -- he didn't start, but is expected to start Wednesday against the Dodgers -- on an 0-for-11 slump, with some of the over-aggressiveness that he displayed in a brief callup last season recurring. Still, he'd rather be struggling here than thriving in Triple-A. Rosario went into Tuesday with a .194 batting average and .212 on-base percentage in 33 plate appearances, with one home run and four RBIs. "I got away from my rhythm, my tempo, and that's what I've worked on the last couple of days," Rosario said. "I feel better, more comfortable. I'm confident that I'll be good. I'm learning what I can from Ramon, and I'll be ready for my chance. "My focus is more on my defense. I want to be comfortable with all the pitchers. But I can hit. I'll tell everybody. I can hit and I'm going to hit." Rockies manager Jim Tracy said Rosario's playing time "is not perfect, but it's not bad, either," and working with Hernandez is a plus. But Tracy said Rosario needs to return his focus to swinging at pitches in the strike zone, which is how he impressed the Rockies during the spring. Tracy said he would like for Rosario to take note of some of the Rockies' veteran hitters, who lately have been displaying the discipline Rosario needs. "His strike zone has gotten too big, and he needs to rehone the focus and understand what makes him good as an offensive player," Tracy said. "Where he's at right now offensively resembles where he was at early in the spring. "We grabbed a hold of him and told him we want him to be a hitter. In him being a hitter, the power, the home runs and all the stuff that he likes to do will show up. As we go along, if we continue to see this not adjusting back to what's going to make him good and make him a hitter at this level, if we have to sit down and reanalyze the situation, we'll do so."
Escalona comes through in a tough spot
DENVER -- The Rockies didn't particularly want to turn a bases-loaded, two-out jam in the seventh inning against the Dodgers on Monday over to recently called up right-handed reliever Edgmer Escalona.But Escalona, 25, forced a popup to end the inning, pitched another scoreless inning and helped the Rockies preserve an eventual 6-2 victory. That's a good way to earn the trust of manager Jim Tracy. Escalona was pitching because veteran Matt Belisle was given the night off due to his heavy workload. Escalona could be a viable option for Tracy when more experienced late-innings relievers are not available. "We have added a lynchpin," Tracy said. "From a confidence standpoint, we jumped a guy up about four notches, yet the credit for that goes to the pitcher himself."
Rox know there's plenty of season left
DENVER -- The Dodgers finished April with a 16-7 record and a 3 1/2-game lead in the National League West. But what does that mean?Well, a strong start didn't mean much for the Rockies last year. They were 17-9 after April, but by season's end were in fourth place at 73-89. "So much for [17-9], right?" Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. Early struggles by starting pitcher Ubaldo Jimenez, who didn't win until June 1, a season-ending elbow injury to lefty starter Jorge De La Rosa and a team-wide hitting slump led to an 8-21 May that wiped away any good feelings from April. A look at the last five seasons reveals that the leader at the end of April did not win the division three times, and sometimes a team struggling through the first month ended up in the playoffs. The Rockies were 10-16 in April 2007 and 8-12 in April 2009, and made the playoffs each year. "What it boils down to is this, is you have to be mindful that the season isn't one month long," Tracy said. "It's six. One good month does not a good season make. You run into pitfalls, whether it's early or late. "As [current White Sox manager] Robin Ventura said when he played for me [with the Dodgers], over the course of 162 games, all 30 teams will step into a pothole. The key to the success and, or failure of your season is more times than not the teams that figure out quicker than others how to get ... out of the pothole."
Worth noting
Rockies pitcher Jorge De La Rosa will start Thursday night for Class A Modesto in his first injury rehab assignment as he completes his return from Tommy John surgery on his left elbow. Left-hander Josh Outman, currently out with a right oblique strain, has had two strong one-inning rehab performances, one with Class A Modesto and the other with Triple-A Colorado Springs. Outman will join Double-A Tulsa for appearances on Thursday and Friday, take two days off, then rejoin Colorado Springs for a two-inning appearance at Memphis, according to Rockies head athletic trainer Keith Dugger.
Rockies right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, out with a bruised right shoulder, played catch at up to 200 feet before Tuesday's game. It was his second catch session since suffering an injury on Friday when he fell off his bicycle. Guthrie said before the session that his shoulder was sore but is improving. He is eligible to return May 8.

SYRACUSE, Neb. (AP) — Officials say a flaw in a Nebraska church's electrical system caused the fire that destroyed the century-old church this month.
Syracuse Fire Chief Bruce Neemann told the Lincoln Journal Star that investigators determined that an electrical failure in the attic of the Syracuse United Methodist Church caused the Jan. 5 fire.
The church in the town of less than 2,000 people 25 miles southeast of Lincoln is a total loss.
On Sunday, about 120 people met for worship in a local coffee house. The church plans to meet at the United Methodist Church in Unadilla for the next three weeks.
The Rev. Gary Ganger says his congregation is in good spirits. The church is planning to rent a downtown storefront to use as a temporary location for at least the next year.

Chucking televisions?

This is a hotel for wrecking the bathroom by putting sticks of dynamite down the bog!
The leather one with the dynamite in the pocket.
Iron Maiden's management and nightclub owner Mark Fuller are poised to cut the ribbon on the £6.5m Sanctum Soho Hotel - a 30-room London sanctuary for rock stars boasting paparazzi-busting security operatives, receptionists clad entirely in black and minibars cunningly housed in speaker stacks. According to the Sunday Times, …

'Cos even the £500 room doesn't seem that expensive really. Try staying in the Skyloft
(a real celeb hotel) in Las Vegas for that amount of cash :)
Missed that tidbit. Still, seems to me that this isn't the Iron Maiden hotel, so much as 'rock band invests in property'. Better then, given it's an existing building, than Bono's attempts to destroy Dublin's skyline
...and how many Bang & Olufsen sound systems are going to be trashed by guests franticly trying to open the mini-bar?
I'm sure the licencing laws down south don't cover this?
But it really begs the question of do they actually wish to increase the chances of a TV being flung out the window? Or perhaps watching a reinactment of an infamous Taxi hijacking by a very drunk Ozzy and Bruce Dickinson?
Either way... when can i check in?
What about vehicular access to the roof pool?
I wonder if it's really celebs only... I'd be interested in a night there if I went down to London for a particular gig.
Nice to know that when my band tours the UK, there is a posh establishment that caters to the Rock N Rolla!!!!

Now get with the moolah, guys. We all wanna party right.
I take it you'll be thinking like some kinda franchise soon?
I bet the concierge will be a busy man. Will he be offering the to help spend the 'flowers' expenses?
And will the rooms come with a handy little mirror, or small shallow frying pans for impromptu, er, cooking? (ahem)
Not to mention the choice of scales..........
For throwing TV's out the window, and driving my car into the pool?
That whole television out of the window thing finally died a quiet death when one of those cast iron bellringers from Busted did it.
Mine's the one with the metal studs and Casualties patch sewn into the right sleeve.
£150 for a basic room?
I'm Losfer Words.
I worked in an office next door at no.22 Warwick Street. The (understandable) continual vibrations from construction were both an iritation and sometimes quite stimulating(!)
We did come into work one day to find a large crack/hole in the wall. I had presumed this was from construction work (as did the builders who came and apologised and repaired it, but perhaps it was Dickinson hurling a TV after all?
BTW if the flouncing loud-mouthed cock who marches around outside "The Club" on the ground floor at no.22 is reading this - nobody's impressed by your shouting you tatty-jeaned/smart-jacketed twat.
>I worked in an office next door at no.22 Warwick Street
I'm really glad you weren't at 22 Acacia Avenue...
There should have been a 'Room of the Beast' for £666 per night...
...located in the lowest basement obviously! (Flames for obvious reasons)
150 notes for a room isn't that bad...
When IT was fun, I used to stay in the Paramount in New York on my regular trips. It was great, Comme des Garcons clad hotel staff, amazing totty, cocaine fueled drug binges (for others, allegedly).
Made up for spending my day trying to sort out HDLC datalink interfaces at JP Morgan.
(Tried staying in the Royalton once. Real log fires in the rooms. Too snotty though, and accounts banned us from staying there after they got the USD350/night bill. The Paramount came in cheaper than shiteholes like the Marriott, so that was fine with the beancounters).
guests will enjoy "... REN Skincare bathroom amenities... bathrobes and slippers"
Sounds more lke it's aimed at manufactured boybands than rockers. Keith Moon must be spinning in his grave.
These modern flat panels are a pain in the arse. Not only are they a bastard to get off the wall (where's the screwdriver? No, I can't lever it off with a cricket bat... $%^&!) but they're so light most safety glazing just bounces the thing back in the room. If you're drunk enough you can't tell which is the window and which is the TV anyway, especially with the screensaver on.
I've stayed in the Mondrian in LA, that's an all-white hotel (arf arf) - so could this new one be the antimatter version of there?

Glowing Duckies Light Up Our LIfe
When the days are short and the nights are long and dark, we like to have things around us that light up our life. For Christmas, I found some Aqua Glow Rubber Duckies for Wayne at Fred Meyers in Bellingham. Right now, they are lighting up our cabin window. This summer, they'll get to take a dip in the lake and light up the waves.
In the background you can see our solar powered LED Christmas lights. We like them so much, they grace our front porch all year long. With so little sunlight right now they only last about half an hour, but they are a bright spot to start a long dark night. What kinds of things do you use to light up your life? -- Margy

Monksland dealt Cheltenham blow
The Ulster-owned Monksland will miss next week's Cheltenham Festival.
Trainer, Noel Meade has withdrawn the horse owned by Belfast based Patricia Hunt from the Ladbrokes World Hurdle.
Monksland started his season at the Down Royal Festival in November – winning the WKD Hurdle and followed up by finishing runner-up to Zaidpour at Fairyhouse in December prior to reversing placings with that rival at Leopardstown Christmas Festival meeting.
The trainer detailed several members of his team were "under the weather".
He added: "He's good, but he's just not going to Cheltenham. We've got a bit of a problem here with a few dirty noses and temperatures and whatever, so he's not going to go.
"Liverpool is a possibility and there's Fairyhouse and Punchestown, hopefully. Any of the other places are possibilities. We'll have to see how we get on."
Meanwhile, Ruby Walsh is confident the step up to three miles will not be a problem for Annie Power when she tackles the Ladbrokes World Hurdle at Cheltenham next week.
The potential Festival target of Willie Mullins' unbeaten mare has been the subject of much debate in recent weeks, with the Champion Hurdle over two miles, the OLBG Mares' Hurdle over two and a half and the three-mile World Hurdle all considered.
Ireland's champion trainer finally confirmed on Sunday his six-year-old would step up in distance at Cheltenham, and Walsh feels connections have made the right call.
He said: "I think she will stay. Her pedigree is all stamina. She's out of an Old Vic mare and she's by Shirocco.
"The further she goes, the more it'll suit her, but you can't really be certain until she goes and does it.
"She's never run over three miles, but things had to be considered and that's where we feel she has her best chance.
"Willie has asked my opinion and everything had to be weighed up and we all felt it is the right race for her.
"There are four or five outstanding horses in the Champion Hurdle and maybe two, possibly three, in the World Hurdle."

MTV Names Katy Perry Its First 'Artist of the Year'
MTV has named Pop singer Katy Perry as their choice for the music channel's first ever artist of the year distinction.
An MTV internal panel of experts deliberated between Perry and singer Adele, but chose Perry in the end, AP has reported Friday.
In August, Perry's album "Teenage Dream" tied the late King of Pop Michael Jackson's "Bad" record as the only album to produce five No. 1 singles. Perry received a special achievement award at this year's American Music Awards for leveling Jackson's record.
Perry's current single "The One That Got Away," is on its way to possibly defeating the record.
Amy Doyle, the network's chief of music programming, told AP Perry's reign this year was undeniable.
"You just really felt her presence in pop culture throughout the year," Doyle said.
Singer Adele's "Rolling in the Deep," from the critically acclaimed album "21," was chosen as the top song of 2011. Adele was up against Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" and Rihanna's "We Found Love."
Previously, different sections of MTV would make their own "best of" lists. This year, the network chose to bring together all of its television and online divisions to emphasize MTV's music roots, Doyle said to AP.
Seven panelists made the final decisions for the distinctions. MTV featured some of the debates on its programming this week.

Nah, we all know you are under the weather. You always answer everyone when you can. You know, I'm used to leaving a comment and not getting an answer until nearly 24 hours later, particularly with the overseas folks. You just get yourself well and then you can have minute by minute chats!!!
Funny, because I feel as if I've been neglecting you and the other solvers, because I haven't been able to reply to comments as promptly as I used to, and that makes me feel really guilty and upset--so it's so good to know that you still want to solve my puzzles! Thanks, whatnauts! :-)))
Fun solve. I'm catching up on puzzles. I seem to have neglected several of yours lately and I'm bound and determined to fix that. I hope you don't get sick of seeing me :))))))
Ah, whatnauts, there are a few new tricks in the old broad still! LOL! I have no idea why I thought of this pattern, but it suddenly seemed like a good idea, though, more than an hour later, when I was still drawing it, I wasn't so sure anymore...! But I like the result, and I'm glad you do, too!
That's a very good description, siouxzn! I can see it now, waiting to be used to adorn all those gaily wrapped boxes--what a cool thought! Thanks!
Thanks so much, nucifera--you make fabulous puzzles, so a compliment from you is one I really treasure!
It was fun .Thank you Pdevredis .
A ribbon carousel at a gift wrapping station...its the holiday season!
Wow, this is so cool. When I was scrolling through the puzzle pages and came across this one I thought, 'Oh this is cool'. And then I looked to see who posted it and was very surprised. I usually recognize your puzzles, but not this one. There you are branching out, yet once again!!!

land egypt
GOSHEN ():t:Th, or the land of Goshen, a territory of Egypt in which the Israelites were settled from Jacob's immigration to the Exodus. In the Septuagint the equivalent is usually the land Gesem (I'co-ip,), but in Gen. xlv. 10 "the land Gesem of Arabia," Arabia being here either the Arabian nome ('Apa/3ias votA) or the extreme east of Lower Egypt. According to Dr Brugsch the Arabian nome was the 20th of Lower Egypt in the older division known to us, the 32d in the later, the alteration in the number being due to a new division under the Ptolemies (Dirt. Geo,o.r., List following preface). The Egyptian name of the norm was Supt, and the capital was Kesem, probably Kosem, also called Kesem-Abot, Kesem of the East (Arabia), equivalent to the Gesem of the Septuagint, preserved in the classical Phacusa (Pa-Kesem), and the modern Fakoos, where mounds mark the site of the ancient town (cf. Brugsch, lb., 876-7, 1049-50). The etymology is doubtful; probably the name is like many others in the same part of Egypt of Semitic origin, as another land of Goshen, with a capital city of the same name, is mentioned in southern Palestine. It is therefore certain that the land of Goshen was around the town of Phacusa. The site of this town lies within the easternmost part of Lower Egypt, under 20 miles in a direct line south of San, the site of Tanis. These conditions suit those of the Biblical narrative. It is obvious that Goshen was a pastoral country, that it was suited for a Shemite settlement, and was in the Shemite part of Lower Egypt, its north-eastern portion. It was near the seat of government in that part of the country, which at this time was Tanis-Rameses, which town, or another of the same name, was the starting-point at the Exodus. In one place (Gen. xlvii. 11) the "land of Rameses" occurs where we should expect "the land of Goshen." We are not sufficiently acquainted with the administrative divisions at this early time to be able to explain this. It may, how. ever, be conjectured that if the Rameses of the Exodus journey was the same as Tanis-Rameses, the archaic Tanite nome may have included the land of Goshen.

With as many farm teams and players that there are in the Orioles organization, there will always be some injured minor league players to try and keep track of.
Here is a partial list of some pitchers that spent some time injured last year and how they are doing now. I'll update more from the minor leagues as opening day gets closer:
* Right-hander Clay Schrader didn't pitch after July 25 last season due to a right elbow flexor mass strain. But he has already reported to minor league camp and is said to be 100 percent now. Schrader, who turns 22 in April, had a very strong season in 2011 between Single-A Delmarva and Single-A Frederick, going a combined 2-2 with a 1.57 ERA. Over 46 innings he allowed just 19 hits with 32 walks and 73 strikeouts.
* Right-hander Dan Klein had surgery on Aug. 16, to repair a labrum tear and loosen his shoulder capsule. He is already in minor league camp continuing his rehab program. Not much has changed for Klein in that it continues to be unlikely he will be ready to pitch when the season starts. He could more likely be ready to go around June 1.
* Right-hander Jesse Beal is scheduled to report to camp on March 4. He had labrum surgery last May 3 and missed all of the 2011 season. He had some throwing sessions in Baltimore over the winter and could be limited to 80-100 innings this season as he works his way back from that surgery. He could be a candidate to begin this season at extended spring training come opening day and later join an affiliate.
* Right-hander Ryan Berry seems fully recovered from the shoulder tendinitis that limited him especially early on last year. By the end of the season Berry was throwing much better and he gave up just one run over his last 16 innings at Frederick and short-season Single-A Aberdeen. He could begin this year with Frederick with a chance to move to Double-A Bowie during the year.
* Left-hander Casey Lambert is a pitcher the Orioles selected in the Triple-A phase of the 2010 Rule 5 draft. He suffered a knee injury in spring training last year and missed the entire season. He pitched in the Arizona Fall League and appears to be fully recovered and will report to camp on March 4.
* Right-hander Brandon Cooney dealt with elbow and shoulder issues at times last year. He is at camp now and on a throwing program.
* Right-hander Luis Lebron is continuing on the comeback trail from Tommy John surgery in May of 2010. The year before he recorded 20 saves between Frederick and Bowie and struck out 91 batters in 60 1/3 innings. Lebron missed all of 2010 and pitched just 10 2/3 innings last year. He seems to be unable to have recovered all his fastball velocity, hitting 91-92 mph on the gun last year after topping out in the mid- and sometimes high-90s pre-surgery.
* Left-hander Cameron Coffey went 4-3 with an ERA of 2.21 last summer in the Gulf Coast League but has been able to pitch just 47 2/3 innings combined the last two seasons after undergoing Tommy John surgery in high school. Reports indicate that Coffey has struggled to regain his pre-surgery fasball velocity and sat in the mid-80s last summer.
* Right-hander Brandon Erbe continues his comeback from labrum surgery in August of 2010. He is currently in camp in Sarasota and taking part in a throwing program. The Baltimore native got into just five games last year between the Gulf Coast League and Aberdeen. In August he cleared waivers after being taken off the O's 40-man roster. He struggled to regain his velocity and command last season.
While most minor league pitchers and catchers are not due to report to the Orioles' Buck O'Neil Baseball Complex at Twin Lakes Park until March 4 and position players on March 8, there are several players working out already as part of an early camp that began for some minor leaguers last week.
The players were called to report early for various reasons which included some players reporting early that missed time due to injury in 2011. The Orioles did not release a roster of the minor league early campers, but here is a list of some of the players that have reported already.
Pitchers: Bobby Bundy, Tim Bascom, Eduardo Rodriguez, Jose Nivar, Klein, Erbe, Schrader, Parker Bridwell, Berry, Tim Berry, Greg Burke, Casey Fossum, Steve Hinton, Stuart Pomeranz, Kyler Newby.
Catchers: Zach Booker, Allan de San Miguel, Joe Oliveira, Justin Dalles, Gabriel Lino, Michael Ohlman, Caleb Joseph.
Position players: Manny Machado, Jonathan Schoop, Jeff Larish, Trent Mummey, Daryl Crozier, Cory Aldridge, Antoan Richardson, Glynn Davis.
The Orioles minor league squads will play intrasquad games on March 12 and 13 and begin exhibition games against other teams on March 14.

Film Studies Major Shares His Passion for Graffiti Art
March 2, 2009
Daniel D. Sanchez '10 is a film studies major and also a talented graffiti artist. As part of an independent study project on campus during Winter Term in January, Sanchez painted a piece of mural-sized graffiti art with the word "have" in the center surrounded by the words love and hate.
"I chose the word 'have' because 'ha' are the first two letters of 'hate' and 've' are the last two letters in love." Sanchez explains, "When you have something you can either love it or hate it. Graffiti has that love/hate relationship with society. It's not often received as an art form but as vandalism instead. It's the black sheep of all art forms."
Sanchez's faculty adviser for the project, Associate Professor of English and Ethics Program Coordinator M. Christine White says, "Daniel is a talented writer and artist, and he brings an expansive, yet warm, energy to his interactions with people, as well as his creative work. I hope this piece of art can live somewhere on campus."
According to Gregory "Greg" R. Dillon, assistant dean of campus life, White's wish may come true. The art piece may be displayed in the Union Building. Dillon states, "We're still in the discussion stage. I'm hopeful that we can make it happen."
Growing up in the most populous city in the United States, Sanchez saw graffiti all around him in New York City. He became fascinated by it and began practicing by drawing sketches in black books – books with blank pages that graffiti artists use to perfect their skills before displaying their work in public. Sanchez admits that when he was younger, he displayed his art on buildings around the city.
Sanchez recently shared his interest in graffiti art with his father and was very surprised to learn that his father had made his mark on the city, too - on trains, "moving art shows". They shared their black books and talked about their different experiences. The younger Sanchez reflects, "I wish that I could have been there with him in the 1970s and '80s when it was all beginning. The big hangouts for graffiti artists were in subway stations. The locations where they all met were referred to as "The Bench." My dad remembers going to the subway station in the Bronx where artists would take their black books to share ideas."
He credits his father, who is now a graphic artist in New York, for giving him some sound advice: "My dad said to look at what others are doing and take that and build on your own style. See how you can improve on it."
Sanchez did just that. He began spending time at 5 Pointz, an enormous old factory building in New York City. It's currently a museum and visual arts center designed for graffiti painters and is considered an outdoor art gallery. In the summer, Sanchez frequents the safe haven for graffiti artists and soaks up the advice from more experienced artists. He attributes his artistic growth to them. 5 Pointz is different from other buildings covered with spray-painted graffiti art because artists must have a permit to paint there.
Reflecting on the opportunity to work with Sanchez, Professor White commented that Winter Term should be a time for students to "explore their individual passions in focused ambitious ways." She adds that, "DePauw students seem to thrive on carving out their own paths."
When Sanchez talks about his art, he's passionate. "It makes me happy. It's therapeutic. There's nothing between me and the canvas. Many artists use graffiti to express their political views. Not me. It's an art form that is pure and innocent."
Sanchez is president of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity and a Posse Scholar. He is thankful for the scholarship and the opportunity to attend DePauw to study film.
During the summer prior to his arrival at DePauw, Sanchez was a student at the Ghetto Film School in New York. He wrote and directed a short film, The Tortoise, which won the Future Filmmaker award at the International Latino Film Festival in New York City in 2005. The film also received recognition at the Boston International Film Festival and the Princeton Student Film and Video Festival.
Photos of Sanchez were taken by Ivan D. Uskokovic '09.Back

The Toronto Zoo sent out a "cute alert" Friday and with good reason: Their endangered African penguin flock officially has eight new chicks.
Two of the parent penguins are Buddy and Pedro, who were propelled to international fame after they paired up as gay penguins and were separated to mate with females.
The arrival of eight babies — adding to the existing 11 penguins — is good news for the zoo's Species Survival Plan, according to wildlife manager Eric Cole.
"It's important because it means that you've got important birds being hatched for the future of the captive population," he said.
There are an estimated 50,000 African penguins left in the wild now, as opposed to 1.2 million close to the beginning of the last century.
"If it continues the way it does, there won't be wild penguins," Cole said. "But at least we'll have a reservoir of penguins, and penguins shouldn't be too hard to introduce in the wild as long as there's a food source."
He cited overfishing as one of the biggest threats to wild penguins.
Following three springtime hatchings, the five most recent hatchings came within a two-week period in December, involving four pairs of penguins.
A fifth pair is "still sitting on two eggs due to hatch in mid-January," according to a zoo statement.
Cole said a few of the pairs are first-time parents, which "aren't as good as experienced birds."
"So we make sure we can see that they're feeding them properly and enough and that the chicks are doing OK," he said.
If there's any sign of trouble, the zoo steps in.
Penguins keep their eggs at a constant temperature of 37C during a 32-day incubation period. They also prepare a "scruffy little nest" out of stones, Cole said.
"It takes a bit of time, it takes some arguments between them," he said of penguin parenting.
The penguin chicks will be on exhibit in an indoor enclosure beginning mid-February.

Conservationists to be honored
ADRIAN -- David and Stacy Mente of rural Adrian have been selected as Nobles County's 2011 Conservationists of the Year by the local Soil and Water Conservation District.
The Mentes own a cow-calf operation and have implemented several conservation practices on their land in Section 30, Westside Township. Their recognition is based on a rotational grazing program they established on their land with cost-share assistance from the Nobles SWCD.
"We are slowly turning everything to grass so we can get the cows home," said David Mente, who rents pasture near Kenneth, Wilmont and Beaver Creek for his herd of 90 cows and their calves.
A few years after purchasing their farm in 1999, the Mentes began transitioning the 110 acres of row crop land on their quarter section into rotational grazing pasture instead.
Although he's questioned that decision a few times since, especially with today's high commodity prices for row crops, David has no regrets. With the rotational grazing component, he's noticed an improvement in herd health, particularly in his first-calf heifers.
"Usually they come off grass rather skinny, but because they were eating fresh grass all the time -- not having to search so much -- they did better," he said.
By working with Nobles SWCD, the Mentes developed a pasture filled with both cool and warm season grasses that would serve well for cattle grazing. They planted a mix of big bluestem, switchgrass, Indian grass, wheat grass, orchard grass, brome and grazing alfalfa and created more than a dozen paddocks of 6 to 8 acres each to rotate the livestock.
Each spring, the Mentes harvest a first cutting from the pasture to be baled for winter feeding. Then, by the end of May or early June, the cattle are turned out on the pasture. The paddocks are used through late September, with cows spending approximately 7 to 10 days in a paddock before being moved to the next one.
"Those cows tell you when it's time to move," David said with a laugh.
Cost-share funding from the SWCD helped pay for seeding, as well as fencing, piping and water structures for the grazing paddocks.
"It sure helped with building materials," David said of the cost-share program, adding that it would have taken him a lot longer to complete the project if he'd had to do it on his own.
The only challenge the Mentes have faced with the rotational grazing program is the lack of available shade in the paddocks. David said he is searching for some type of movable structure that can be used in the future.
The Mentes are considering hosting a grazing tour next summer to showcase their operation.
In addition to working with the SWCD on the rotational grazing project, the Mentes have also cost-shared with the SWCD on several tree plantings.
In 2000, they established a living snow fence, and followed that project up a decade later when a selection of dogwood, honeysuckle, ash, hackleberry and pine trees were planted on the homestead's north side. Those trees will eventually replace an old grove of cottonwoods. Also in 2010, the Mentes planted a shelterbelt along the west side of their building site to help alleviate some of the problems they had with snow drifting in the cattle yards.
Projects that can alleviate moving snow in the winter months will definitely help the Mentes, who also have off-farm jobs. David works full-time in feed additive sales for Pfizer Animal Health, and Stacy works for Sanford Luverne Hospital. Their three children, Dylan, 12, Trevor, 10, and Justin, 8, help with the cattle and also show them in 4-H as members of the Magnolia Juniors in Rock County.
The boys show stock produced on their farm and other 4-H'ers from across the region do the same. Mente Cattle Company raises primarily Maine Anjou, Simmental-Maine and Maine-Angus cattle, and sells its calves as show stock to 4-H'ers. They conduct an annual pasture sale on Labor Day, and the Mentes sell stock as guest consignors in a bred heifer and bull sale in central Iowa each January. During their last pasture sale, they sold stock to buyers in seven states.
As Nobles County's Conservationists of the Year, the Mente family will be recognized during an awards luncheon at the Minnesota Soil and Water Conservation District's annual convention Dec. 6 in Bloomington.

ESCONDIDO -- Eighth-grader Thesalie Dumlao is a fan of the television show "Law & Order" and has always wondered about the accuracy of eyewitness reports in criminal trials.
The 13-year-old took the initiative to find out for herself, testing whether or not such accounts are dependable enough to be used as important evidence for her science project at Del Dios Middle School's 25th annual science fair.
To perform her experiment, Thesalie had a friend volunteer to come into a classroom and "steal" a bell from the teacher's desk. Student witnesses were then asked to fill out a questionnaire, recalling what the "criminal" was wearing, in addition to the person's age, height, gender and skin color.
"I learned eyewitness reports can be useful," said Thesalie, as she stood next to her project, which contained pie charts, a written report and a shiny blue first-place ribbon and certificate. She was chosen as one of 18 Del Dios students to compete in the county's Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair from March 27 to April 1 at Balboa Park in San Diego.
More than 350 students participated in the Del Dios science fair, which is a requirement for the school's seventh-graders but also allows eighth-graders to participate.
Cardboard presentation boards flooded the school's multipurpose room Wednesday night, as students and their parents scrambled to see if their projects had received any awards, which were judged earlier in the day.
"I feel excited, like all of my hard work has paid off," said seventh-grader Ivan Martinez, whose project "What Environment Does a Bean Plant Grow Faster and Better In?" won a sweepstakes award. Although Ivan didn't win a coveted spot at the county fair, his project was chosen as the school's best seventh grade project by representatives from Northrop Grumman, which donated Barnes & Noble gift certificates to Del Dios as science fair prizes.
The beaming student explained how he studied the growth of bean plants in water, sand, soil, moss, wood chips and moist newspaper and was surprised to find that the bean pod planted in wood chips grew the tallest.
"Science is one of my favorite subjects," he said. "It's a lot of fun."
Students have been working on the projects since September and have done them almost entirely on their own time, said Maryanna Warner, a seventh grade science teacher who has been organizing the fair for 25 years.
Ideas for projects were powered by students' interests. Unlike many other school projects, science fair projects are not as structured, allowing students to utilize their creativity, she said.
"It's important for the development of their investigative skills," she said. "They're exploring something they're curious about and finding out how to answer a question."
The science fair is also fun way for students to be engaged in the entire scientific process, from formulating a hypothesis to performing an experiment and drawing conclusions, said Warner.
"Students learn real-world application of the theories and methods they learn in class," she said. "They see how science is involved in many aspects of their lives, from chewing gum to liking a particular brand of shampoo."
A number of students conducted similar experiments because their teachers provided them with a list of possible ideas, so the thoroughness of their projects is what set a few of them apart in the eyes of the county judge, said Warner.
For example, seventh-grader Cynthia Hernandez was one of many students who conducted an experiment on whether the spacing of dominos would affect the time they took to fall. Her project, however, contained computer generated line graphs and thorough explanations as to why spacing dominos farther apart makes for a slower fall time.
"I tried to put in a little more work, because if you don't try hard enough, you'll never know what you can do," said Cynthia, who looks forward to presenting her project at the county science fair in March.
"She likes a challenge and that's why we're so proud," said her father, Jesus.

IRIS International Announces Distribution Agreement With Alifax and Launch of ESR Automated Instrumentation
CHATSWORTH, Calif.,(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – IRIS International, Inc. (Nasdaq:IRIS), a leading manufacturer of automated in-vitro diagnostics systems and consumables and a provider of high-value personalized diagnostics, today announced the distributorship and launch of the Alifax family of automated Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) analysis systems.
The Alifax automated ESR analysis systems are designed to fit all workloads, including small hospitals, large reference laboratories, core laboratories and satellite locations. Employing patented technology, the Alifax ESR systems process the same whole blood tubes from the hematology analyzer. The ESR systems provide fully automated, hands off operation in a small footprint.
"We are pleased to be launching and distributing the Alifax family of automated ESR analysis systems," said Thomas Warekois, President of the Iris Diagnostics Division. "This patented technology is a breakthrough in turnaround time -- generating results every 35 seconds or less, versus one hour for standard ESR analysis by the reference Westergren method. We believe that our customers will be highly satisfied with the Alifax ESR testing solutions and expect that the small sample volume and STAT capability will reduce ER waiting times and significantly minimize the need for patient specimen redraws."
"We expect the Alifax family of automated ESR systems to deliver increased productivity and efficiencies in laboratory labor utilization and reduced turnaround times (TAT) along with improved patient outcomes and physician satisfaction," stated Cesar M. Garcia, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of IRIS International. "We are confident that these ESR products will become a market leader by delivering another innovative automation solution to the clinical laboratory. The addition of the ESR product line should also leverage our diagnostics sales and support team within the US. The synergies with our urinalysis sales call point and the strategic alignment with our 3GEMS hematology product in development make this product family addition an important step in our plans to expand into adjacent in-vitro diagnostics segments."
ESR is a common blood test, and is a non-specific measure of inflammation. There are approximately 75-80 million ESR tests ordered annually in the US representing an addressable market opportunity of approximately $120 million. Standard ESR analysis is a measure of red cells settling over time, typically one hour, and variations occur in the results, depending on the degree of specimen viscosity and presence of inflammatory proteins. Alifax's technology measures the kinetics of red blood cell aggregation by capillary photometry and reads aggregation over a ten second period. By directly measuring the amount of red cell aggregation, it is not necessary to wait on red cells
settling under gravity. Correlation of the Alifax technology versus the Westergren reference method is reported in many peer-reviewed articles as over 94%. ESR systems are exempt from FDA review prior to commercialization in the US.

Item # 113W2513PS | MFR # KFC-W2513PS
This item is no longer available.
Kenwood puts decades of experience into building their Performance Series subs, so you can have powerful, reliable bass in your vehicle. Check out the KFC-W2513PS 10" sub — you get a heavy-duty polypropylene cone reinforced by a tough rubber surround that accommodates the extra-long cone excursion. And this sub handles up to 300 watts RMS, so you can rock out out with plenty of thunder.
The Diamond Array Pattern reinforces the cone so that it won't warp during heavy bass production. A dual ventilation system pulls heated air out of the motor structure through the back and the sides of the sub, so the inner works stay cooler during those long, loud jams. Put this Kenwood in a suitable enclosure, power it with a nice amp, and get ready to party.
To drive this single subwoofer, we recommend a mono amplifier rated between 225 and 450 watts RMS at 4 ohms. For more information, please refer to our article on How to Match Subwoofers and Amplifiers.
Package deal: Like this sub? You can save big bucks with this Kenwood dual 10" bass package.

Sounds great in a sealed Obcon box and a Kenwood eXecelon Xr1S amp
Pros: All pros
Cons: none
Excellent speakers. More "thump" than u thought. Great sound. Excellent purchase.
Pros: Value and sound for a great price.
Good item! easy to install and good value for price! Definitely recommend
Pros: Good value, easy to install
Cons: none
I have 6 and there is no comparison to the quality of the subs. They hit hard and no distortion.
Pros: Easy to install with the template and wire connections. Great pair with the Kenwood 500 amps
Cons: Have no cons with this product
I built a sealed box for two of these and wired it to a 1000 watt kenwood amp. Using crutchfield's wiring diagrams I wired it to run 500 to each, the amps rms is 300. These subs are 3 years old now and still work like they are new! I'm sticking with kenwood for all of my audio needs. Head unit, speakers, amp, and subs are all kenwood!
Pros: Great sound quality, durability.
Cons: My friends scoff at kenwood subs until they hear mine, they are a game changer!
Great sound for a 10" subwoffer
Great for a starting point.
Pros: Solid, reliable sound.
Cons: None
Great sound.. But has blown twice in a year. Not even on a song that bumps. So dissapointed. Warranty went out last week. Had volume on 15 both times it blew. Fir ast was replaced for free.. Now gotta come out of pocket. Settings were hpf and lpf set thorough sub set +7 loudness +1. So it wasnt over beating. Using 1k wat excelon amp
Pros: C above
Cons: C above
I have installed numerous systems in my vehicles throughout the years and gotta say for price, technology, ascetics and sound quality this sub hits a ten in every category. I powered it with an alpine mrv-m500 in a 2004 Mazda RX8, kenwood 5.25 3 ways in the rear deck and kenwood 5.25 components in the front doors. I built a custom sealed box that matched the requirements kenwood suggested. for the price I doubt there's a better sub out there. All controlled by a Kenwood DDX318 this system blew away my expectations
Pros: Value, appearance, crisp tight bass
Cons: None
I put my first system into my 1991 Chevy Silverado 1500 I bought two of these 10" 's and then a custom fir QLogic Box that was meant for my truck. I Installed it all with a 600 RMS Amp from Kicker and all I can say is im EXTREMELY HAPPY! These hit hard for being in a truck; I got my Amp set to maybe 60/100 and I dont plan on taking it up anymore till I Dynamat the truck haha. VERY PLEASED! THANKS Crutchfield and Kenwood!
These subs sound great but at a low volume one of them blew out after a year.
Recipe for a chocolate milkshake: take one glass choclate milk, sit in car with two of these subs, play ur favorite song loudly and tada! u will get a milkshake. ok that was rediculous, but accurate description of the bass. nuf said.
All I have to say is wow. I have 2 of these in a vented box powered by a Polk PA- 880 amp. They hit hard. I have had Rockford, Kicker, Pioneer...you name it. The rumble from this sub is crazy. The reviews I read gave no love to Kenwood subs, but not true. These subs are probably the best I have had. For 10's, they are straight ridiculous.
I have two of these sitting in a single, sealed enclosure with two individual compartments from SO, along with the Kenwood KAC-8105D amp and man does it sound incredible! I push these things as far as my ear can take, and at times they will render my rear view useless. I have it sitting in the back seat of my Chevy S10 Etx Cab. I'm wanting to kick up the level to max, just to see what they will do. Wonderful subs, great price.

Enclosure Compatibility
Cone: The KFC-W2513PS uses a polypropylene cone and rubber surround for added durability.
Heat Transfer System: A dual ventilation system design helps keep the motor structure cool, improving power handling and longevity.
Long Stroke Design: The pole piece has been extended to provide a more linear magnetic field for woofer operation. This lowers distortion and provides the woofer with better low frequency response.
Double Stacked Magnet: The stacked magnet assembly is used to create a powerful linear motor with increased excursion capability for superior bass output.
Spring Terminals: The spring post terminals on one side of the woofer connect to your amplifier's wiring. The posts will accept pin connectors, single banana plugs, or bare wire up to 10 gauge.
Sealed Box: Kenwood recommends a sealed enclosure with an optimum internal volume of 0.65 cubic feet (from 0.4 to 1.0 cubic feet is acceptable). Sealed enclosures provide the most control over a woofer, will handle a lot of power, and provide accurate sonic reproduction, making them suitable to all types of music.
Ported Box: Kenwood recommends a ported enclosure with an internal volume of 1.0 cubic foot (from 0.75 to 1.5 cubic feet is acceptable) using an 11" x 1-1/4" x 20" slot port. Ported (or vented) enclosures typically provide better overall efficiency than sealed so they are suitable for use with smaller amplifiers, giving you more bass output from less power. However, this efficiency comes at the expense of very low frequency output.
At Crutchfield, you'll get detailed, accurate information that's hard to find elsewhere. That's because we have our own in-house Product Research team. They verify what's in the box, check the owner's manual, and record dimensions, features and specs. We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices.
Hi Dustin, I paired this sub with an Alpine MRV-M250 mono amp and a Kenwood BT500S head unit. I selected 100hz initially, listened to it for awhile, and then switched it over to 80hz and listened to it for awhile again. I think that the 80 setting provides better low end than the 100 and so I kept it that way. There are a lot of factors that affect your sound quality and so I would suggest you do the same thing. Also, play with the firing direction of your sub/enclosure. Although the sound at these low frequencies is supposed to be non-directional, I have found (as have others) that the sound is affected in different vehicles. Hope this helps!

The Race for Global Clean Power: Strong Energy Policy Spurs Private Investment
"Our findings are a wake-up call to U.S. policymakers. We are at a critical crossroads–without ambitious policies, the United States is likely to become a technology taker, not a technology maker."
-Phyllis Cuttino, director, Clean Energy Program
The extraordinary worldwide growth in clean energy investment over the past five years has been defined by a simple fact: Where supportive clean energy policies are adopted, investment follows. Time and again, nations with the strongest policy frameworks are shown to have attracted the most capital and enjoyed the associated economic benefits, including job creation. A new report by the Pew Environment Group's Clean Energy Program, Global Clean Power: A $2.3 Trillion Opportunity, underscores this critical connection between government policy and private investment.
The report models three policy scenarios that will influence clean power investments over the next 10 years. The primary conclusion: "Policy matters."
In every G-20 country, those with strong clean energy policies, such as renewable energy standards, realize significant private investment in clean power technologies—wind, solar, biomass/energy from waste, small hydro, geothermal and marine energy projects.
Global Clean Power documents how demand, government incentives and renewable energy targets will shift the center of gravity for clean energy investment from the West (Europe and the United States) to the East (led by China and India) over the next decade. Within the G-20 countries, China, India, Japan and South Korea are projected to account for approximately 40 percent of clean energy project investments through 2020.
"Our findings are a wake-up call to U.S. policymakers. We are at a critical crossroads–without ambitious policies, the United States is likely to become a technology taker, not a technology maker," said Phyllis Cuttino, director of the Clean Energy Program.
The clean energy race is being led by China. In fact, China maintains its global leadership position and has the potential to attract cumulative clean energy asset investments of as much as $620 billion over the next 10 years. India is emerging as a clean energy powerhouse and could realize a 763 percent increase in investment under the "enhanced clean energy" policy scenario, representing the most significant growth rate among G-20 members.:::http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hS0oyIeuq4:::

Arizona Cardinals get quarterback Carson Palmer in trade with Oakland | NFL
The Arizona Cardinals acquired quarterback Carson Palmer from the Oakland Raiders, then the parties agreed on a two-year contract that could pay him up to $20 million.
TEMPE, Ariz. — Carson Palmer has landed with the third team of his pro career.
First Cincinnati, then Oakland and, as of Tuesday, Arizona — not exactly a trio of powerhouses.
But Palmer and first-year coach Bruce Arians insist the quarterback is coming to a Cardinals team built to win soon, despite the fact it lost 11 of its last 12 a season ago.
Arizona acquired Palmer from the Oakland Raiders, then the parties agreed on a two-year contract that could pay him up to $20 million, with $10 million guaranteed.
"I've got a lot of tread left on my tires," the 33-year-old Palmer said.
Ever since Arians was hired to replace fired Ken Whisenhunt, quarterback was the prime issue.
"I'm here to introduce our starting quarterback and put it to bed," Arians said at a news conference, "and I'm really happy about it."
The Cardinals gave up a conditional seventh-round 2014 draft pick and swapped the second of their two sixth-rounders this year for Oakland's seventh-round pick.
"This was a no-brainer," Michael Bidwill, Cardinals president, said of pursuing Palmer.
Palmer, who won the Heisman Trophy in 2002 at USC, was to make $13 million this year but reworked his contract.
"I've only got a couple of shots left," he said.
Palmer passed for 4,018 yards with Oakland last season, but the team was 4-11 in the games he played. He had 22 touchdown passes and was intercepted 14 times.
Last season, Arizona had four starting quarterbacks — John Skelton, Kevin Kolb, Ryan Lindley and Brian Hoyer. They combined to throw for 3,383 yards, with 11 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in an offense that ranked last in the league.
joins 49ers
SAN FRANCISCO — Free-agent cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha reached agreement on a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers that could pay him as much as $3 million.
Asomugha, 31, was a two-time All-Pro with Oakland before signing a $60 million, five-year contract with Philadelphia in 2011. But he was released by the Eagles last month after two disappointing seasons.
A college standout at California, Asomugha has a base package of $1.35 million and could earn $1.65 million more in incentives.
