Even Jim Cramer Tired of Being Jim Cramer
Further proof that celebrities are as prone to doing dumb things as the rest of us, 'Mad Money' host Jim Cramer posted some odd, angry, and probably ill-advised tweets Friday.
Whether it's the result of boredom, exhaustion, or just some good old-fashioned venting of the soul, Cramer accidentally provided entertainment for millions across the globe on an otherwise slow-news Friday the 13th.
His twitter war with a handful of people you've probably never heard of is available on twitter, under his user name @jimcramer. Here are a few of his crazier tweets from today, along with some possible interpretations.
"It is like the NFL. When you come into my zone with offensive football i am going to hit you just like any pro does." It's pretty clear that what Cramer means is, if you're Jon Stewart, and you embarrass the hell out of Cramer (as Stewart did on the Daily Show in 2009), he will not take kindly to that. (Note to self: avoid the Bear Stearns jokes.)
"One other thought, like the NFL, i block you into oblivion. I am done with allowing people to lie about me. They pay. And they pay hard." But do they? They get a free 15 minutes of fame. Cramer ends up Leno's punchline (for all 3 of Leno's remaining viewers) for the next few days. Not a good trade!
"When i have let the lies go without impunity, when i do not come down hard on them, we just get more moron comments." This would have been a good time for someone to step in and let Cramer know that, on the internet, the rules are completely backward. If you respond to trolls, they won. They win the game every time.
"@Mansur180 i shut down the haters. I will not have Twitter devolve to some stupid chat room where people take shots at me." See above.
"Not only that, but if these guys ever try to join the Elks i will do my best to blackball them! !!!!"
Oh my. I suspect (and hope) he was saying that with a grin.
The silly thing about all this is Cramer is in the position where he cannot win. He makes calls on stocks. Sometimes he is right and makes people a pile of money. Those people are never heard from. Then he makes one call that, in hindsight, isn't so good, and he never hears the end of it. A little light-hearted joking? Good for the soul. Endless chatter about him being a hack, or the hub of some crazy conspiracy, or whatever? Not cool.
That said, someone probably should talk to Cramer about the art of trolling on the internet, and how maybe it isn't in his best interests to take the bait and fight with these people.
I believe the adage is "Never argue with stupid people. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." Don't let them, Jim.

Some critics are reacting harshly after a video was posted on YouTube showing a young boy saying a prayer to President Barack Obama. There isn't much context given for the clip, but a description accompanying the short video that was posted by a user named Regina Young reads, "The prayer that he wanted to say for our President is priceless."
Perhaps much of the controversy surrounds the fact that the young boy speaks directly to Obama and not to God. The latter is, obviously, the general recipient of most peoples' invocations and prayers, so to see a young boy bowing his head, closing his eyes and folding his hands and offering accolades to the president is certainly a bit uncommon.
"Barack Obama thank you for doing everything and all the kind stuff," he opens the prayer. "Thank you for all the stuff that you helped us with."
The child, who says that his name is Stephen, also thanks Obama for his "courage and responsibility" and he tells the president that God has given him a "special power."
"You are good, Barack Obama. You are great," he added. "And when you get older you will be able to do great things."
We will be discussing this story and all the day's news on our live BlazeCast with Editor-in-Chief Scott Baker (@bakerlink) beginning at 2pm ET:
While some have expressed disgust and outrage over the prayer, there are a few scenarios worth pondering. While a prayer directly to a person who isn't a deity is seen as theologically unsound by many Christian denominations and people of divergent faiths, it very well may be that the young boy was simply looking for a way to show his gratitude to Obama. Perhaps the video was filmed and posted in jest. Or maybe the boy just doesn't fully understand prayer at such a young age and his heart was in the right place, but his words came out wrong.
Either way, some are less-than-pleased with its contents, with conservative commentator Todd Starnes writing, "What kind of a parent would allow their child to blaspheme God?" Another reaction on the Independent Journal Review reads:
As if the sycophantic videos of Obama zombies fawning all over candidate Smarty McMompants in 2008 weren't bad enough, this video posted on youtube gives evidence that no matter how bad the "recovery" is, no matter how awful our foreign policy weakens us, people will happily continue to worship Obama.
And no, worship is not an exaggeration.
Watch the video for yourself, below:
While the prayer definitely offers up some theological conundrums, it's also encouraging, to a degree, to see a child praying at all — especially today. Of course, whom he prays to is a subject worthy of debate.
What do you think? Take the Urtak, below:

Acronis worked w/7100 but won't w/7600???
Acronis 10 home worked very well with my RC 7100 x 64. I know this because I've restored images from it in 7100. Now that I've installed 7600 x 64 and run Acronis from windows it says it's incompatible and won't start. Am I going crazy or what? I've tried running in compatability mode but no joy.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (Retail)
Same here with Acronis.
I had 2009 installed and working successfully on W7 (7600 x64) and just recently switched to 2010 which seems to have a great many interesting new features and improved old features and generally works even better than 2009 did. I just did an incremental back up with 2010 over a back up that was started with 2009 and everything is working fine. Btw, I think, but am not 100% certain, that 2010 is out of beta now.
I've tried others, but for me Acronis is the best.

Another vote for Macrium.
It is by far the most efficient imaging app. Worked flawlessly on every o/s - including beta builds that I have tried it on.
Not quite as many features as some - but you may not want all those bells and whistles.
It is so small and fast , waiting for others to do their thing is tedious.

Problem with Acronis
I have long used acronis on xp and vista and it has worked well.
However, when I tried to use it to resize 2 partitions to make my os partition larger and my data partition smaller on a 1 TB WD drive (under W7x64 7229) prior to doing a clean istall of RTM, I ended up with 2 corrupted partitions. The os partition came back with CHkdsk errors and I started BSODing.
THe data partition was a complete mess. The directories looked ok, but the vast majority of files were unreadable.
I can't fully blame acronis as it may have been an OS or other issue (7229 was not a final release, but ...)
Fortunately I had a backup and did not lose anything.

Representatives of a company proposing a wind farm in Nantucket Sound met congressional staff last week to head off a proposal pushed by Rep. Don YoungDon YoungOvernight Energy: Perry takes heat for sexual assault comments | Clovis withdraws nomination for USDA post | Battle lines drawn on Arctic refuge drilling | Energy regulator back to full strength Senators spar over proposal to drill in Alaska wildlife refuge Rep. Pramila Jayapal takes sexist arrows and fights back MORE that would kill the project.
Young (R-Alaska) wants to add to a Coast Guard regulation bill a provision to prohibit wind turbines from being built within one and a half nautical miles of shipping or ferry lanes.
Mark Rodgers, spokesman for Cape Wind, the company looking to build the wind farm off Nantucket, said the measure would kill the project, which has been controversial since its inception. Some of the area's most famous residents, including Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.), oppose the project.
A conference committee may begin debating the Coast Guard reauthorization bill this week, as Congress returns from its weeklong recess.
In town to address a convention sponsored by the American Wind Energy Association, Cape Wind President James Gordon also met with congressional staffs of members who are on the conference and urged them to reject Young's amendment, Rodgers said.
The provision was not in either the Senate or House version of the Coast Guard bill, but in a Feb. 15 letter addressed to conferees Young said Congress needs to act quickly. He cited studies done in the United Kingdom that raised concerns that large wind turbines of the type proposed for Nantucket Sound could impair navigational radar at distances up to 10 miles away, with a zone of "extreme caution" out to 1.5 miles.
The Cape Wind project would fall within the 1.5 miles.
"We must deal with the issue now in order to appropriately and safely advance the development of offshore wind energy," Young wrote.
The issue sets up an odd political alliance: Young, a big backer of oil and gas companies, and Kennedy, a strong advocate of environmental causes.
Instead of heralding a new atmosphere of bipartisanship, however, Rodgers said the Young provision sniffs of business as usual.
Lawmakers have talked about a process that is "more transparent and less influenced by special interests and lobbyists," Rodgers said. But, he added: "This amendment is going in the wrong direction."
Gordon sent a sharp response to Young on Feb. 21 stating that four years of federal and state reviews raised no questions about navigational issues. The letter also noted that the United Kingdom only bans wind turbines within 500 meters of a major shipping lane, the letter added. Cape Wind would meet that standard.
"Despite your assertions to the contrary, it is clear that your objective is to legislatively block the Cape Wind project, for reasons that remain unstated," Gordon wrote.
Navigational issues aren't the first questions raised about the Cape Wind project. Alternately denigrating the project as an eyesore and a threat to a fragile ecosystem, the local fight had shifted to Washington before Young's move, with each side hiring lobbyists to help make its case.
Opponents have formed the Alliance to Protect Nantucket Sound, which has retained Perkins Coie.
Cape Wind, meanwhile, has hired DLA Piper Rudnick Gray Cary and Capitol City Group.
As planned, 130 turbines would be built about six miles off the coast of Nantucket. The turbines would stand about 417 feet tall and would provide 420 megawatts of power — enough to meet about 75 percent of the energy needs for Cape Cod and surrounding islands, Rodgers said.

Stars-Predators, 7:30 p.m.; Lehtonen starts; Whitney returns
Stars winger Ray Whitney missed practice Thursday with flu-like symptoms, but skated this morning. He is a game-time decision for tonight.
The Stars recalled Chris Mueller from the AHL on Thursday and will dress him tonight. Then, if Whitney can play, Mueller will probably come out of the lineup.
"We're going to dress an extra guy," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "Depending on if (Whitney) gets a good meal in him and feels well tonight, energy level's a big deal. He wasn't feeling well yesterday and was sick but is feeling a lot better today."
Kari Lehtonen was first off the ice and looks like he will be the starter. This would be his fourth start in a row.
Nashville played last night and took a 6-1 win over Buffalo behind Carter Hutton. The Predators have gone 2-1-0 against the Stars this season and are 3-1-0 in their last four games. They are playing great, and this is a game the Stars really need to win. With Phoenix winning Thursday, Dallas is now five points back in the fight for the final wildcard spot in the West. Dallas has two games in hand on Phoenix and Minnesota, but it has to win those games if it wants to remain in the race.
Asked what the key is for the remaining 10 games, Ruff said: "Taking them one game at a time and really focusing on the game that you're playing and getting the job done. There's small areas outside of every game we're going to have to improve, but it's trying to make a difference in special teams, playing the way we've been most effective and taking advantage of our good opportunities in the game."
The Stars have slipped in matters of faceoff winning percentage and puck possession in recent games, and have to get back to winning draws and winning the battle of the shot clock.
"I think that is a big deal," Ruff said. "The faceoffs, we've started some games poorly where we're chasing like 30-something percent and that hurts our team. We've been a good puck possession team, but when you're trying to get it back after every draw, it is a big deal. Some of our play in the offensive zone, which we worked on yesterday, has to be better. I think we hang on a little bit too long in some situations when guys are open. We look for better plays. I think you get that one guy open for a split second, if you take it you can usually make a better play on the second pass. That's some of the stuff we've shown and some of the stuff we've worked on the last couple days."
So what is the key in a home game against a possibly tired Predators team?
"I'd like to see us score. I'd like to see us play well. Execution with the puck," Ruff said. "Nashville's a pretty good team at taking time and space away, so you're going to have to make quick plays. We're going to have to beat their guys off the wall on the offensive zone, get back to the net in a hurry. It's a little bit different game, a little bit more one-on-one game when you're playing them versus kind of a collapse game. So early on, you're going to have to beat your one-on-one match."
The Stars line are expected to be:
Jamie Benn-Tyler Seguin-Valeri Nichushkin
Antoine Roussel-Cody Eakin-Ryan Garbutt
Shawn Horcoff-Vern Fiddler-Colton Sceviour
Ray Whitney-Dustin Jeffrey-Alex Chiasson
Alex Goligoski-Trevor Daley
Jordie Benn-Brenden Dillon
Aaron Rome-Sergei Gonchar
Kari Lehtonen
Nashville's lineup is expected to look something like this:
Matt Cullen-Mike Fisher-Patric Hornqvist
Eric Nystrom-Colin Wilson-Nick Spaling
Gabriel Bourque-Calle Jarnkrok-Craig Smith
Richard Clune-Colton Sissons-Viktor Stalberg
Roman Josi-Shea Weber
Michael Del Zotto-Victor Bartley
Mattias Ekholm-Ryan Ellis
Pekka Rinne

A UFO was speculated to be the cause of a destroyed wind turbine in Lincolnshire last week.
But what if a UFO crashed into your house instead? What sort of response would you get from your insurance company?
Julie Carter, of specialist insurance broker Adrian Flux, recalls that when the company's Household division was set up ten years ago, many insurance companies would be sniffy about meeting bizarre claims, and 'Act of Alien' would be classed alongside 'Act of God'.
"Claims for freak household disasters are nothing new," says Julie Carter. "But if something like this happens to a householder, too often they fear the response from an insurer. They worry that it will be up to the policyholder to prove that a little green man was responsible."
However, things have improved in recent years, and Flux Household has been leading the way in flexible insurance that caters for a wider range of risks. So out of curiosity last week, Flux rang round various insurance companies to see if they would cover policyholders on some strange scenarios.
What if a meteorite was to strike my house?
No problem, they said. It would be covered.
How about a stampede of wildebeest on the run from a local safari park?
What if a vindictive ex-husband bulldozes my home to the ground?
Yes, that too.
How about if a shark fell through my roof?
Covered, but if it was a work of art then there would be an excess, with conditions attached.
Bizarrely, this latter scenario is almost real. The famous rooftop Headington Shark in Oxford recently celebrated its 22nd birthday, and the building was surrounded by scaffolding for several months while the shark and roof were patched up to ensure it would last a few more years.
And a UFO?
Yes, of course.
"If you are going to modify your house, you need to tell your insurer what you've done. And if that includes putting a flying saucer landing pad on the roof, you need to be sure it can bear the weight. So fears about household insurance not covering the improbable are now misplaced," adds Julie Carter.
Adrian Flux aims to offer cheaper home insurance and has a range of policies for homes, contents, landlords and buy to let, including specialist schemes for hard to insure properties such as thatched homes, underpinned buildings and those at risk of flooding.

|Chapter Reviews: 8
Background: Font color:
Pleased a simple tale to hearlong has paled that sunny sky:
Echoes fade and memories die: autumn frosts have slain July.
-Epilogue to 'Through the Looking Glass' by Lewis Carroll
Chapter Three: Through the Looking Glass
The halls were mostly empty as she levitated her trunk beside her on the way to Dumbledores office an hour or so later. She was still a bit early, and thus hadnt bothered to call up to Harry or Ron, as both of them always postponed their packing until the very last minute. Ginny wasnt in Gryffindor tower, either, but when shed checked, Hermione had found that her friend had her travel things lined up on her bed, ready to go. At least Mrs. Weasleys constant pestering of her children had had an effect on one of them. Two, if you counted Percy.
The thought of the Weasleys' estranged son made her sigh. As practical as she was, Hermione secretly hated change. She guessed it was childish of her to wish that everyone around her could stay the same as she grew upbut then, where would one draw the line? Shed been happy enough in second yearuntil shed been petrified, that wasbut pause time there, and theyd never have the pleasure of Professor Lupin as their DADA teacher. Shed loved finding out how shed done on her O.W.L.s but that had been after Sirius had fallen through the veil. She was well pleased at having been chosen as Head Girl, but what if something happened next month that shed have been ecstatic about, if only she hadnt tried to freeze everything just the way it was
Hermione decided that she wasnt very good at being fanciful. Understanding this the very moment she arrived at Dumbledores office struck her as fairly ironic, considering their Headmasters disposition. Stacking her luggage against the wall nearby, she turned to search for a comfortable chair in which to wait for the others, only to find that the stairway leading up to the office was accessible. She looked around, but Professor Dumbledore was nowhere to be seen; there wasnt anyone anywhere in sight. Harrys tales of what he had seen in the office came back to her, along with a very unusual desire to go exploring. Hermione tried to brush it off, and settled herself on a bench facing the stairs, expecting at any moment to see the stone gargoyle that normally guarded it curve into view, blocking the path to the office.
The longer she sat there, the more curious she became. It made her think of Alice in Wonderland, and the consequences of snooping around where one didnt belong. Each time she felt the urge to stand up and investigate the stairway and what lay beyond it, she countered herself by trying to remember all the horrible things that had happened to Alice. The problem was, as the minutes ticked away, she started thinking more about the girls adventures than her brushes with danger. Her father had read Lewis Carroll to her as a childmuch to her mothers disapproval; her mother disliked the authors morbid sense of humor. Shed loved Through the Looking Glass, and been reminded of it greatly when she, Ron, and Harry had played full-sized Wizards Chess during their first year.
When she had been youngerbefore shed made the wonderful discovery that not only was magic real, but she, Hermione Granger, was uncommonly talented at itshe used to imagine what sort of world she would find, if she, like Alice, got a chance to go through a looking glass. She couldnt help the broad grin that covered her face. It was something she hadnt thought of since years before she came to Hogwarts, and her child-like fantasies had welltheyd come true, hadnt they? Dragons, leprechauns, magic spells, and even people who turned into animalsall were reality to her now.
Animagi Shed been fascinated by the idea long before the frightening experience she, Ron, and Harry had shared in the shrieking shack. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. Hermione considered herself one of the most gifted in magic among her peers, but even she wouldnt dream of attempting to become an animagus. That Professor Lupins three closest friends all decided to try it, out of caring for himand, lets face it, she thought wryly, a strong sense of adventurewas awe-inspiring.
Her eyes were drawn back to that empty curving staircase again, almost as if there were a sign above the opening reading, GO ON, YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO. She tried to ignore it, turning her thoughts instead back to the Marauders and their antics. This proved to be the wrong choice, because her imagination ran away with her, providing an annoying little voice in the back of her head that goaded her to give up and sneak into Dumbledores office. Well, are you a Gryffindor, or arent you? it taunted. This was the same vicious little influence that told her she enjoyed all the rule-breaking and mayhem she experienced when she accompanied Ron and Harry to protect them from themselves.
She supposed she really was a tried-and-true Gryffindor, because she couldnt seem to stop herself from getting up and crossing the room, after Looks like you should have been in Ravenclaw, after all, echoed in her head. If shed been placed there, she probably never would have become such close friends with Harry and Ronand Rons wild familyand, Merlin help her, she really did enjoy all the crazy things theyd done over the years, Head Girl or not.
Hang it all, she muttered, and with a thrill of excitement, she started up the stone stairway to the unfamiliar room beyond, partly to answer her unasked question of what shed find behind her looking glass, now that her childlike imaginings of magic had been fulfilled.
Her first impression was that it was decorated in exactly the way shed pictured it in her mind. Crowded, yet homey, and in no way pretentious, even with the portraits of former Headmasters of Hogwarts slumbering peacefully on the walls. It was just like Dumbledore to make himself comfortable here, rather than decorate it as befitting someone with immense power over the young minds and future leaders of the British wizarding community. Which meant, she realized, that he was probably the perfect choice of Headmaster, not that shed ever argue with that. As well as being immensely powerful, Albus Dumbledore was a kind man, full of the eccentricities that put children at their ease.
Hermione stood at the top of the stairway for a long time, just drinking in the sights and sounds of the room in front of her. Some things she recognized, either by personal experience or Harrys descriptions: Fawkes cage stood behind the large desk, the smoldering pile of feathers and faint chirping sounds telling Hermione that shed missed the phoenixs rebirth by no more than twenty-four hours. High on a shelving unit full of oddities lay the Sorting Hat; she watched it intently for a few minutes, looking for any signs of life. Harry had mentioned it speaking to him, after all. It looked to be resting, or whatever Sorting Hats did while not on duty.
The chair behind the humongous wooden desk looked quite comfortable, but although Hermione was possessed of an impish and inquisitive nature just now, she couldnt quite force herself to try it out. She did peep at the opposite side of the desk, however, finding an impressive number of drawers. It brought to mind the story Harry had told her of the Weasley twins discovery of the Marauders Map, and made her wonder what strange and wonderful artifacts Professor Dumbledore would keep in his many drawers.
Hermione was surprised that the plentiful distractions of this room had made her completely forget that she absolutely should not be in here. She supposed that rule breaking could possibly be habit forming, and, as she thought about it, became convinced that if anyone would know, it would be James Potter and Sirius Black. The thought of the two Gryffindor scamps gave her the courage to start examining various objects of interest in the room. If she, Hermione, couldnt get up the nerve to look around thoroughly, the thought of what the two intrepid young men would have done in her place gave her the needed daring.
She first approached what looked like a fish tank sitting on a tall marble stand under the window. Having assumed there would be fish inside, Hermione was disappointed when it looked empty. When she moved to the left and looked through the side of the tank, though, she was shocked to see an entire school of fish! This didnt any sense at all and continued not to, as the fish persisted in disappearing when she viewed the tank from the front or back, only to reappear when she looked in either of the sides. She narrowed her eyes and stared at them for quite a long time until one of them seemed to blink out of sight for a moment and it hit herwere they two-dimensional? She decided she didnt want to know; the image of magic and Muggle science combined were enough to give even the most dedicated researcher a headache.
The next item to catch her eye looked quite ancient, and she wondered if Harrys father had ever snuck into the room to stare covetously at it. The writing on the handle read Cloudstalker in elegant calligraphy, and the broom itself looked to be hundreds of years old. A horrifying thought struck her, and she dismissed it immediatelyas lax as James Potter might have been about rules, she was certain he would never risk the destruction of such an amazing item by actually flying around on it, even in the confines of the office She went from thinking with trepidation about Prongs, to affection about Moony.
Her former professor was undoubtedly the reason for this handsome mechanism. She was looking at what would have been called a projection by Muggles, although she was fairly sure that the magical version worked in a very different way. This image of the soon-to-be night sky was a lot more real looking than a simple projection could ever have been. A cloud drifted over the waning moon, casting a tiny shadow on the polished wooden surface of the bookshelf it rested on. She wondered how much it had cost in Wizard moneyit was quite relaxing to watch, so much so that shed love to have one for herself. Thinking of Professor Lupin made her wonder if the peacefulness she had always felt when looking at the moon was the complete opposite for him. It probably is, she thought, unless he associated the coming of the full moon with the adventures he had with his best friends
Hermione was suddenly struck with a desire to have known Lupin and his childhood friends during their time at Hogwarts. Such glimpses and snippets of stories about them as she had seen and heard made each of them sound like the sort of people that never lacked for something interesting and unique to do. Not only that, but theyd also been uncommonly clever, and shed love to learn some of the more unorthodox charms and such that Professor Lupin as an adult wouldnt dream of teaching them. Sort of like an advanced DA club for the Mischievously Impaired.
She hadnt eaten any of the sweets in this room, but Hermione felt almost certain that the atmosphere here was starting to affect her thinking.
She turned to look behind her and was mildly shocked to see a full-length mirror, something she was sure hadnt been there when she first entered the room. She advanced toward it cautiously, remembering stories about magical mirrors. Her imagination was already running wild with all the fanciful things around herbut she ended up standing in front of it with nothing more frightening than her reflection staring back at her. Hermione shook her head in near-disgustshe couldnt believe shed allowed herself to get so caught up in the mood of the room and the excitement of rule-breaking (for this she blamed the memories of the Marauders) that she started being afraid of a simple mirror.
As a long-standing habit, she reached out a hand to touch the cool surface of the glass. Shed always told herself that she would regret not doing this, just in case the one time she hadnt was the one time she could have entered Alices world and had some grand adventure. This thought froze in her brain as she registered the fact that her hand had continued on past the supposed surface of the looking glass into the space beyond

Without thinking too much about where I was going with this project, I loaded it up (with a poly batt and bleached muslin backing) and started quilting. I practiced outlining the motifs in the fake applique, tried to think of different ways to fill in the white spaces, decided to leave the fake sashing unquilted. When I was done, I took it off the longarm and started thinking... what am I going to do with this thing??? The dimensions turned out to be 84x118, instead of the 90x108 that was in the eBay ad. (I didn't measure before I started.) Not good dimensions for a bed, not that I had really planned to use it on a bed. DH suggested cutting it in half, and I thought that would be a good idea - so I cut it. I swear I counted twice (counting blocks rather than measuring inches) but I cut in the wrong spot. Oh well, the big piece that remained was a nice shape and size - but the smaller piece was too long and skinny, so I cut it in two. I wound up with 3 quilts. Still not sure what I'll do with them... Two are good sizes for baby quilts. The big one is about 70x82.
The first picture is the gigantic quilt before I started cutting it up. If I had thought about this ahead of time I might have cut it up before quilting and added some borders to come up with better finished sizes, but the real purpose of the exercise was to get some much-needed practice on the longarm. Now I feel like I'm ready to tackle an appliqued quilt (if only I had one to work on).
Just in case anyone is wondering - I was actually pretty happy with the quality of the cheater cloth. I have washed the finished quilts, and there was absolutely no problem with the dyes running. (I was worried about that, since I usually prewash, but I didn't this time.) The cheater cloth cost about $25 including shipping.

Impersonating an ex-boyfriend on Facebook may win one New Jersey woman an all-expense paid ticket to the big house.
Lovers' quarrels have been playing out on Facebook for years. But one New Jersey woman has taken one online spat to a whole new level — and may go to prison for it.
Dana Thornton faces up to 18 months in prison for allegedly creating a fake Facebook profile for her ex-boyfriend — something prosecutors say breeches the state's identity theft law.
Thornton set up the account using her ex-boyfriends birthday. She populated it with pictures of her ex Michael Lasalandra, who just happens to be a detective for the Parsippany, New Jersey police department.
Posing as Lasalandra, Thornton commented on other people's profiles. According to the Daily Record of Parsippany, these comments were intended to "disparage his lifestyle choices and career."
Thornton's lawyers have filed a motion to dismiss, claiming that the state's identity theft law doesn't explicitly mention Facebook profiles. At worst, they say, Thornton violated Facebook's terms of service (Facebook prohibits users from creating profiles under a false identity).
Not surprisingly, the state prosecutors say defense's stance is pretty much bunk. Identify theft laws apply no matter online or off, they say.
If Lasalandra and the state win, Thornton will have a year-and-a-half to rue her decision to impersonate a police detective online.
And New Jersey residents will have learned an important lesson — when you take your domestic disputes to Facebook, the law is still watching.

Legal Question in Criminal Law in India
Hi, my brother was asked to report to police station for some investigation. when he reported to PS, SHO asked him that you are invoved in an attempt to murder, looting, and other charges with your friends. they play the recording of a mobile where he was joking to his 2 friends that if this man (who is a jweller and and also a friend of these 3 mutual friends)will die what will be our shares. this was just a joke as all of these 3 belongs to very reputable families of town. Police picked other 2 friends and tortured them so they accepted that they did this attack and also invloved my brother as well. We are sure that any of them is not invloved in this case but they accepted due to police torture. 2 of them have been chalaned and sent to jail while my brother who is cardiac and depresion patient is in the hospital for treatment. Ploice charged all of 3 with section 120b, 387, 411, 420 etc. Can somebody guide us how to rid off this case, can stay be taken on arrest or can get bail without arrest.

Layout designed for best viewing on a "1024 x 768" screen.
A tally is an account or reckoning; a record of debit and credit, of the score of a game, or the like.
Tally Mountain is found in the Salish Range and sits by Montana's deepest lake.
"This mountain will let you absorb the natural beauty of the surrounding vicinity"
Tally Lake is a clear, scenic, low elevation mountain lake. The Lake is at 1350 acres in size and with a depth of 492 feet.
Although it isn't a huge lake, Tally Lake has the distinction of being the deepest natural lake in Montana.
Lying in the heavily forested, lower mountains to the west of Whitefish, Tally Lake offers less than spectacular fishing in a very nice environment. Tally Lake is home to a fair number of small rainbow trout, cutthroat trout, whitefish and brook trout.
Virtually all of the use on Tally Lake comes in the form of recreational boating of one variety or another. The lake's large size and clear water, along with its close proximity to the Flathead Valley, make it a popular place for boating and waterskiing. Additionally, a large campground and day use area at the head of the lake is a popular place for camping, picnicking and parties.
Getting There
To find Tally Mountain's trailhead, start from Downtown Whitefish and drive 5 miles on U.S. 93 North to Twin Bridges Road and turn left.
Next, drive approximately 1-2 miles and turn right onto Twin Bridges Road (Yes it's Twin Bridges Road again)
Then, turn left on Farm to Market Road. You will see signs for Tally Lake Campground. Go 2 miles and turn right onto Tally Lake Road, which is not paved.
It is approximately 6 miles to the pullout by Tally Mountain's trailhead.
Red TapeTally Mountain is located in the Salish Range
This is bear country. So hike with bear spray and make lots of noise.
Motorized vehicles are allowed on all of Trail 800 and on a large portion of the route from Reid Divide to just south of Tally Mountain.
Route Information
The Tally Lake Trail is a stunning hike through large old larch, Douglas fir, spruce and ponderosa pine which conceal Tally Mountain. The hike is a nice exercise that almost reaches 2,250 feet in elevation gain. It's a great hike to do on overcast or rainy days as the heavy tree cover keeps hikers relatively dry.
Hike up the trail as it will gradually lead up the flanks of Tally Mountain through an astonishing variety of forest types. Once you hike 2 and a half miles, the trail intersects with the Tally Gorge Trail (#294), but stay on #800 and follow it for approximately a quarter of a mile. At a convenient place of your choosing take a short bushwack uphill to the left of the trail to the tree-covered summit of Tally Mountain. You can take trail #800 south for several miles to just east of Ashley Mountain, which is several miles northwest of Kalispell.
Camping and Essential Gear
The closest campground is to the north called Tally Lake Campground. Tally Lake Campground is right next to the lake; Logan Creek empties into the lake next to the campground.
Tally Lake Campground in Montana is the outdoors at its finest.
Any time is a good time at Tally Lake Campground if you love the outdoors.
Bring water and bear spray.

Build a monthly HTML calendar with php and the bash shell cal function.
This is a script that takes a monthly calendar produced by the Unix cal function, part of the BASH shell and found on all 'nix machines and Apples, and uses php to convert it into an HTML table calendar. The first part is the form, which I have on a separate index page. Then the part that goes at the top of the builder page. Then part that can go just about anywhere on the builder page. The texarea is there only for informational puposes and can be left off an 'operational' build.
PHP Code:

<fieldset><form action="./builder.php" method="get">
<input type="hidden" name="mydata" id="mydata">
If you want a calender for this month, put nothing here: <input type="text" name="m-y" size=10 />

<input type="submit" value="Load calendar">

If you want a calender for a specific month in the past or future, for example July 1977, enter it this way: 7 1977, or 07 1977, just two numbers with a space.

 To make a calender for this year just put in: -y.

To make a calender for a specific year, just put in the year: 1996, with no -y.

Now the top of the builder.
if (isset($_GET['mydata'])){
$mnyr = $_GET['m-y'];
$cal = `cal $mnyr`;
$cal = `echo '$cal' | sed '/^$/d' `;
$cal = trim($cal);
The part that actually builds the calendar.

<textarea id="showcal" cols=21 rows=10 >
$cal_string = str_replace("\n","\n ",$cal);
echo $cal_string;
$weeks = explode("\n",$cal_string);
$first_day = (strpos($weeks[2],"1")+1)/3;
//echo $first_day;
$month = trim($weeks[0]);
$find_last = trim($cal);
$size = strlen($find_last)-2;
$last_day = substr($find_last,$size);
//echo count($weeks);
echo "

".$month."

\n";
echo "Sunday	\n";
echo "Monday	\n";
echo "Tuesday	\n";
echo "Wednesday	\n";
echo "Thursday	\n";
echo "Friday	\n";
echo "Saturday	\n

\n";
$stack = count($weeks)-2;
for ( $i = 1 ; $i <= $stack*7 ; $i++ )
if ( $i < $first_day ) echo "	\n";
elseif ( $i > $first_day-1 && $i < $last_day+$first_day ) echo "".($i-$first_day+1 )."	\n";
else echo "	\n";
if ( $i%7 == 0 && $i < $stack*7 ) echo "

\n";
echo "

\n";
You may be able to omit the part with Sed.

Ricky Meinhold '13 - Scout for the St. Louis Cardinals
"I wouldn't be where I am today if I hadn't gone to Coker." Ricky Meinhold, full-time scout for the St. Louis Cardinals, tells the story of how his Master of Athletic Administration degree launched his career in professional athletics.
Nationally, increases in the number of bachelor's degrees in sports management have quadrupled the overall growth rate of baccalaureate degrees awarded in recent years. Master's degrees in sports management have outpaced all master's degrees by a margin of seven to one. With that explosion has come rapidly evolving specializations ranging from programs in motorsports operations to sport event security management.
College athletics is extraordinarily complex and has become a high-profile aspect of most institutions of higher education. In fact, a master's degree is commonly the preferred qualification for D-I athletic personnel. Coker's program is designed to equip tomorrow's administrators with a rigorous academic foundation—a forward-thinking curriculum that balances theory with real-world experiences and creativity with bottom-line analytical thinking.
The Master of Science in College Athletic Administration at Coker College offers students a solid foundation in specialized areas such as current issues in college athletics, NCAA compliance regulations, sport communication, sport law, recruiting of coaches and athletes, fundraising, sport business management and sport marketing.

Personal data from hundreds of Massachusetts employees of the pet care retailer Petco Animal Supplies Inc. were compromised due to a computer theft that occurred in May, according to the company.
According to a report filed in late July with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, five laptop computers were stolen from an outside firm that Petco, which is based in San Diego, had hired to audit the company's 401(k) retirement plan. The computers contained personal information about Petco's current and former employees, including 1,320 in Massachusetts. Petco currently employs about 22,000 people nationwide.
The company said that the information on the computers was encrypted, so that it would be extremely difficult to decipher, and that there is no evidence criminals have used the data.
Massachusetts law requires companies doing business in the state to report such thefts, however.
Petco said that it will provide current and former Massachusetts employees with one year of credit monitoring service at no charge. Such services can help prevent criminals from using stolen identities to set up phony credit accounts or make unauthorized purchases.

text: Jubilee of Mercy What is the Year of Mercy? Pope Francis declared an Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy to be a "special time for the Church" in which Catholics throughout the world recall and celebrate God's mercy. We are convinced that the path of Mercy on which Pope Francis has placed the Church in this journey of the Jubilee will be a moment of true grace for all Christians and a reawaking to the path of the new evangelization and the pastoral conversion the Pope has indicated. When does the Year of Mercy take place? The Year of Mercy begins on December 8, 2015 (Feast of the Immaculate Conception) and ends on November 20, 2016 (Feast of Christ the King). What is mercy?

SNDCLSH - Thieves
Lupe Fiasco's name isn't exactly synonymous with club music but, despite his lyrically-oriented reputation, the Windy City heavyweight enjoys a dancefloor-scorching beat as much as the next man. In order to indulge that side of his musical tastes, the emcee formed SNDCLSH, a joint venture with longtime friend and DJ Sky Gellatly. Today, the duo make their collective DJBooth debut with Thieves, a futuristic banger fueled by a throbbing synth-bassline and booming four-on-the-floor percussion. In addition to co-producing the joint with Gellatly and guest contributor DJ Kue, Fiasco handles vocal duties, delivering his verses and chorus through a haze of reverb and Autotune. Like what you're hearing? Then stay tuned; this joint isn't part of a larger project, but we'll keep you posted on SNDCLSH's plans in the weeks and months ahead.

Commodities trading is a trading strategy that focuses on physical goods used in the production of other goods and economic services. Goods that are commodities exhibit common characteristics such as a lack of differentiation and fungibility.
Common commodities include:
Commodities comprise a significant portion of production costs for industrial organizations. As such, companies seek to control their costs and manage financial risk by employing commodities trading strategies. Commodities are traded in the spot market or packaged as derivatives and traded over the counter or on exchanges. Managed futures funds and commodities trading advisors (CTAs) are active investors in this asset class.
A practical implementation approach involves modeling, building, and testing commodities trading strategies using data gathered from data feeds and databases. An effective workflow enables you to:

You can leave that second paragraph out, as that (hopefully) speaks for itself. I consider myself a fairly big Elliott Smith fan, but haven't heard this, I should look into it.
I can see how you want to justify a 5 for only your second review, but you brought it across well. Very nice review, I haven't heard this either but I love s/t and XO.
Album Rating: 4.5
It is one of his best known for those outside the Smith fanbase
Album Rating: 4.0This is the last one I'll be picking up from him. But I'm sure I'll love it.
Wouldn't Mama Be Proud is perfect
Album Rating: 4.5I would recommend this to anyone who even slightly enjoys indie/folk rock, but if you like Elliott, this is essential.
Album Rating: 4.5That's a pretty solid review too, by the way!
I would recommend this to anyone who even slightly enjoys indie/folk rock, but if you like Elliott, this is essential.
finally got this. it's great although i don't think it is as good as either XO or Either/Or. Color Bars is a great song.
I'm listening to this now and I usually give this album a pretty bad rap but I've actually grown to love alot of the songs on here.
stupidity tries is incredible
Album Rating: 4.5Oh my GOD. Elliott Smith has too many albums that I need to get. *adds Figure 8 to never-ending list of musakz*
Album Rating: 3.0junk bond trade is so so good
Album Rating: 4.0everything means nothing to me is the reason i bought this album
Album Rating: 5.0can't believe L.A. is on Guitar Hero 5, how awesome is that
I've come to hate guitar hero/rock band games so not very
honky bach is such a terrible song. this is a good album though
edit: wtf redsky how can you hate them
wtf i love that song
working in a store that sells them right next to the demo station for over a year will make you loathe music video games. that's why when ever i hear someone even mention Dragonforce punch them in the fucking face.
Album Rating: 5.0honky bach is probably my favorite song besides happiness off here
and adam, you know its awesome because a bunch of people who play it are going to be like 'this is fucking awesome' and go buy it
i played guitar hero metallica at a friends house and that just had me addicted.

Ex-DOJ Official Spars with Agency over Ethics Question
A disagreement between the Justice Department and former acting Solicitor General Neal Katyal is getting prickly.
As we reported Monday, the department wants to bar Mr. Katyal, now a partner at Hogan Lovells, from representing a former AU Optronics Corp. executive who is seeking to overturn his conviction for fixing prices on LCD screens used in computers and other electronic products.
The department said a 1978 government ethics law bars Mr. Katyal, who left the department last June, from representing the executive because the solicitor general's office took part in the case while he was at the helm.
Hogan Lovells last month sought U.S. District Judge Susan Illston's permission for Mr. Katyal to participate. . .

The Questor column
Edited by Helena Keers
(Filed: 15/05/2004)
Trade winds blow hot and cold for drugmaker
Galen may be Northern Ireland's biggest company, but it's not remotely interested in selling stuff on this side of the Atlantic. As the chief executive, Roger Boissoneault, succinctly puts it, people rob banks because that's where the money is.
The analogy would make most drug companies wince, but it can't be denied that if you want to run a pharmaceutical company - the US is where the tablets are coated in gold.
It's certainly paying off for Galen anyway. The company got out of the UK earlier this year and produced stonking interim figures this week. Sales increased 55pc to $138m in the last quarter (unsurprisingly this company reports in dollars) and pre-tax profit rose from $20.3m to $48m. For the past six months, sales were up from $158m to $279m and profit was up from $39m to $106m.
Those who have been consistent bulls for this company have been rubbing their hands with glee, but the shares are still at a lower price than when Questor looked at them last November, at 774.5p, and concluded they were too expensive.
The company's strategy of taking niche products and selling them to specialist physicians has paid off well, but there are plenty of uncertainties.
The first is the spectre of HRT. Galen has plenty of products in this area, which is declining after a series of scares. It's making acquisitions in other areas to counter this, and these have included a drug called Sarafem, which is basically Prozac for severe menstrual disorders.
There's a patent challenge on this in the courts which will hold back the share price until the case is decided this summer, while a stock overhang after Galen founder Allen McClay sold out recently will do the same.
On the other hand, Galen is swimming in cash, and will soon be pretty much debt-free. It says it doesn't need to make acquisitions, but won't return the money to shareholders. In essence, it all depends on how much you trust the management.
The shares, on around 763p this week, trade on around 10 times forward earnings, which is pretty cheap, but with the uncertainties this is one for the brave.
Journals and events to watch
At least six months ago, managers from specialist publishers Taylor & Francis and Informa sat down to discuss ways of collaborating on conferences linked to their various journals and the production of a new bio-engineering publication.
The fruits of those talks were realised last week when the full merger between the pair was finally completed. "We realised just how much commonality there was between the two companies," T&F chief executive David Smith said at the time.
Commonality maybe, but the merger also combines stable revenues from T&F, which owns mostly subscription journals, and the more cyclical operations of Informa, which owns Lloyd's List and organises around 2,500 exhibitions and conferences worldwide.
The business forecast cost savings of more than £4m in the first year, but there is likely to be a bigger benefit to top-line growth as new journals are launched alongside existing events, and vice versa.
Many analysts consider that the market has underestimated the cost savings and revenue synergies from the merger. The combined group posts a pre-close trading update at the end of June, when it is expected to report positive underlying trends.
The shares were trading at around 350p last week, with a prospective yield of 2pc. More importantly, they trade on a prospective forward earnings multiple of around 16 times - a significant discount to peers such as Reed, United Business Media and Pearson.
With an impressive array of titles and events, and a focused management team, such a discount is undeserved and the shares have enough potential upside to be attractive.
Big Yellow has room to grow
Last year, there was the story of the body in the storage unit. An understandable reason for investors to shy from self-storage company Big Yellow.
Except that the company has been doing pretty well buying sites along main roads and high streets and converting them into giant warehouses with storage rooms for rent. So well, in fact, that Big Yellow, which floated five years ago, has unveiled its maiden full-year pre-tax profit of £1.2m, against a £2.3m pre-tax loss last time.
The garish (yes, you guessed it, yellow) warehouses are largely in the south, with 24 in London. Nicholas Vetch, chairman and one of the three founders who share a 30pc stake, reckons the cost of storing the entire contents of a two-bedroom flat is around £65-£75 a month.
Occupancy rates are around 75pc and average revenue was £22.40 per sq ft with total floor space of 1.8m sq ft. Analysts are pretty optimistic about the growth prospects.
The shares have fallen back from a high of 156.5p last month to around 148.5p last week. As a growth stock trading at 74 times future earnings, with a prospective yield of 1pc, investors taking a long view will see the future's bright - the future's yellow.

Valiant's intelligent E1 Channel Bank, VCL-CB-INT™ provides Voice Activity Detection (VAD) activated "answer supervision" and "disconnect supervision" to connect VoIP, VoFR and VoATM networks to analog PSTN (POTS) lines that do not provide any type of answer supervision / battery reversal functions.

TURKEY, Texas (CBS Houston) — People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals want Turkey, Texas, to change its name before Thanksgiving.
Turkey, though, said no thanks.
In a letter to Turkey's mayor Pat Carson, PETA Executive Vice President Tracy Reiman said changing the town's name for the day "will remind people around the country that we each can have a delicious, protein-packed, and satisfying Thanksgiving meal without supporting animal abuse."
Tofurkey, PETA said, is made 100 percent "cruelty-free." A billboard campaign additionally asks children why they would eat turkey if they wouldn't eat their dogs.
In exchange for the name-change, PETA promised to cook the holiday meal. The spread would include Tofurky with mushroom gravy, mashed potatoes (made with vegan margarine) and vegan apple pie topped with vanilla dairy-free ice cream.
Recently, the group jokingly criticized Nintendo's Mario for allegedly killing raccoon dogs for his special Tanooki suit's powers.
Roughly 500 people live in Turkey, named on an afternoon when settlers in the 1890s found flocks of wild Rio Grande turkeys roosting on the banks of Turkey Creek.

Double clicking the tab bar and minimap bring up the Open file dialogue. This doesn't seem correct to me; is there a way to configure this?
If I double click an empty area of the tab bar, I would expect a new empty tab to open, like is done in Opera and Firefox. Opera also allows for a middle click to open a new empty tab. A text editor is fundamentally different than a browser though, so a fast way to open a file should probably remain. I would accept middle click opening a new empty tab, while double click prompted to open an existing file, or the other way around.
Sometimes when I am clicking through the minimap, I click too rapidly and the Open file dialogue appears. I think the minimap should ignore double clicks.
I have this same question about the tab bar. Can it be changed somewhere in the sublime option files thatdouble click on the tab bar will be create a new document instead of open one.
There are no options for this yet, I'll add it to the todo list though

Arts Briefing
By Lawrence Van Gelder
Published: September 27, 2004
THE ART OF SCIENCE -- The architect Cesar Pelli has been chosen to design the new $100 million Connecticut Center for Science and Exploration, which is to rise on a site overlooking the Connecticut River in downtown Hartford. The announcement ended a competition among finalists that included Moshe Safdie, Zaha Hadid and Stefan Behnisch. The trustees said the building would be designed during the next year. It is expected to be completed in winter 2007. In his proposal for the project, Mr. Pelli said: ''The Connecticut Center for Science and Exploration will be a building that will communicate the excitement of science to the surrounding streets, river and highway. The forms are ambitious and dynamic. They appear to reach out, beyond their physical limits.'' Among major projects by Cesar Pelli & Associates of New Haven is the current expansion of the Museum of Modern Art.
NOT FORGOTTEN -- The psychological thriller ''The Forgotten,'' starring Julianne Moore as a grieving mother who fears she is losing her sanity, shot to the top of the North American box office this weekend based on preliminary figures, Agence-France Presse reported. Exhibitor Relations, which tracks the box office, said ''The Forgotten'' dislodged ''Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow'' from the top spot and was expected to earn $22 million over its debut weekend. ''Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow,'' the top film last week, dropped to second place, pulling in about $6.7 million. The baseball comedy ''Mr. 3000'' took third place, with receipts of $5 million, followed by ''Resident Evil: Apocalypse'' and the debut of ''First Daughter,'' with both films earning about $4 million apiece for fourth place.
Aaron Davis Hall will celebrate its 25th anniversary as a performing arts center in Harlem with performances through June 30, 2005, by Miguel Algarin, Eddie Palmieri, Abbey Lincoln and Bill T. Jones, among others. Mr. Algarin's ''Mongo Affair,'' a spoken word and musical event with guests like Amiri Baraka, Ray Barretto, Savion Glover and Hazelle Goodman, will usher in the festivities on Oct. 8. Introducing material for his 2005 HBO special, which will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his first one-man show for the network, the comedian and actor Robert Klein, left, will perform ''A Klein Madness: An Evening With Robert Klein'' tomorrow through Oct. 8 at Feinstein's at the Regency. Free samples of the work of 27 theater companies will be presented in the second annual Prelude to Off-Broadway, Friday through Sunday at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, 365 Fifth Avenue, at 34th Street. The event also offers panel discussions, beginning at 7 p.m. Thursday with a talk on nonprofit Off-Broadway theater by Ellen Stewart of La Mama. Seating for the prelude is available on a first-come basis; guaranteed tickets are $5 per event. Information: (212) 817-8215.

Only thing you can try is to call the issuers, ask which agencies they report credit to, and request TransUnion be added. If they say they already do report to TransUnion, and you're not seeing it here, then 1) verify your information with the issuer is all correct, and 2) request a full copy of your credit report from annualcreditreport.com, as it is possible it could just be a fluke with CreditKarma.
In the event they do not report to TransUnion, it doesn't hurt to ask that they start, but in all reality it is very unlikely that they would grant such a request for just one person. It is not a requirement for creditors to report to any or all reporting agencies. You can, however, take a copy of the account details to creditors when applying for credit for their manual review.

SHERIDAN — The Sheridan Memorial Hospital Board of Trustees approved its fiscal year 2013 audit report at its meeting Wednesday. The hospital received an unqualified opinion, which means no errors or weaknesses were found in the audit, and no adjustments had to be made.
"The audit was awesome," Chief Financial Officer Ed Johlman said.
"In and of itself, it was great, but it's the fifth year in a row we've had an audit review and have had no adjustments. What we publish every year when we present to the board is spot on," he added. "That is incredible."
Johlman said there are a limited number of hospitals in the country that can make that claim, putting SMH in a unique class. He attributed the successful audits to his financial team.
"We've got great work processes together, and great people carrying it out, and it's just awesome," Johlman said.
CPA Jerrel Tucker, who performed the audit, said he has watched more than 50 hospitals go through the conversion to electronic medical records in the last two years, and most conversions go poorly, which often affects the audit report. He said he was glad to see that even though the conversion to EMR at Sheridan Memorial Hospital had its challenges, they did not impact financial statements or the audit.

• Facilities Director James Rader told the board that construction is complete on the new Urgent Care department. The state Department of Health conducted inspections Wednesday, and the Urgent Care should open once it receives approval, Rader said. The Urgent Care will offer a more economic option for people who have typically gone to the emergency room for non-emergency problems such as sprains or flu symptoms. It will operate like a walk-in clinic with normal business hours.
• Hospital Foundation Executive Director Ada Kirven announced that the fifth annual The Link — Partners in Pink walk/run for breast cancer awareness was attended by more than 600 participants and 37 sponsors.
