With "May the 4th" just around the corner I thought I would share this Star Wars printable I made for my better half for Christmas this past year.
Around our house you will find many a Star Wars lover. So when it comes to gift giving around here I usually head straight to my "go to" gift … anything Star Wars. Especially for my hard to buy for dh. So this past Christmas I was looking for that one gift that would just wow him. In years past I have bought numerous gifts that have just been returned in the days following Christmas. I was determined that he not return nor want to return anything this year. But after finding a lot of great gifts in the stores, I still hadn't found my "wow" gift. That's when I decided to try my hand in printables. I had this vision in my head for months, a picture of Darth Vader over the sheet music to the Imperial March. I just had no idea how to execute it!
After doing a little pinterest searching and playing with a photo editing app on my phone I was making some progress! The key was PHOTO OVERLAY! I was able to overlay the Darth Vader image over the Imperial March sheet music all from the app on my phone. YES, my phone! I downloaded the images, created the printable & printed the print all from my phone! I was soooo happy with how it turned out and so was he! For once I had hit a homerun in the gift giving department with the dh. And they say women are hard to buy for….

Why Padraig Harrington's right for Ryder Cup vice-captaincy
Grooming of Dublin's three-time Major champion for Euro captaincy should begin at Gleneagles
Amid the euphoria stirred by Europe's 'Miracle at Medinah', few could have imagined imperious Ian Poulter and his exalted fellow Englishmen Lee Westwood and Luke Donald needing a captain's pick to make the next Ryder Cup.
Whatever happened these likely lads to leave them outside the pale and give European captain Paul McGinley food for thought?
Still, McGinley's options appear relatively straightforward.
Even if Poulter lost a leg, he'd be a shoo-in for Gleneagles. One can only imagine the boost it would give to Tom Watson's US side if this wild-eyed firebrand is omitted when the wild cards are dispensed at Wentworth next Tuesday.
Westwood also is a must. One whiff of the cordite in Scotland and a few inspirational words from McGinley should have him back at his bulldog best. The Dubliner in the past has made no secret of his admiration for the fighting qualities the feisty Englishman brings with him to the locker room.
Donald therefore appears the most likely fall guy as Stephen Gallacher presses hard for an opportunity to play in front of his home crowd. The mind-bending desire to play at Gleneagles has impacted on Gallacher's game in recent months, while it certainly wouldn't hurt to have a Scot in the side.
Of course, he can still make the team on his own steam. The precise world ranking points on offer at this week's final counting event, the Italian Open, have yet to be determined but if Gallacher finishes top-two in Turin he'll knock Graeme McDowell off the team.
Should G-Mac need a pick, he'll get one. June's French Open winner is one tough dude, just the man you need in a tight Ryder Cup corner.
Even more intriguing are McGinley's options as he considers the candidates for his two remaining vice-captains. If a continental is required, EurAsia team skipper Miguel Angel Jimenez would be the obvious choice, while David Howell's name has been whispered in some circles.
While not stipulated in the assistant's job remit, several Ryder Cup captains, including McGinley himself, benefited from the insight that being an assistant gives. So the time certainly is right to call Padraig Harrington to arms alongside Sam Torrance and Des Smyth.
McGinley and Harrington, former Ryder Cup, Seve Trophy and World Cup-winning partners, know and trust each other implicitly. As a three-time Major champion, Harrington, 43 on Sunday, will be European captain in the near future, either at Hazeltine in 2016 or in Paris two years later.
As for the players, it'll require a Lazarus-like recovery by Donald at the Deutsche Bank this weekend to clean his slate. It's chilling how far his star has fallen since those heady days of 2011 when he leapt to World No 1 and became the first player to top the money list in Europe and the US in the same season.
Donald's decision last August to change from his mentor of 16 years, Pat Goss, to Jason Dufner's swing coach, Chuck Cook, did not produce the desired results at the Majors.
As confidence dipped, his fabled short game and scrambling also suffered, while Donald's putting, for so long a staple of his game, went badly awry last Friday.
He counted 35 putts, including three three-putts, among the 75 strokes which caused the 37-year-old to miss the cut in New Jersey. Already short, recent inconsistencies in Donald's game make him a poor fit for Gleneagles.
As his body clock, at 42, ticks loudly at the Majors, drastic efforts by Westwood to gain a winning edge in the Grand Slam arena yielded more angst than achievement. Moving lock, stock and family across to Miami in Christmas 2012 was brave, but a short-lived decision to replace coach Pete Cowen with Sean Foley was ill-judged.
Westwood won in Malaysia in April but a string of four missed cuts in high summer, including the US and British Opens, showed his game was out of kilter.
Yet green shoots appeared at Bridgestone and the PGA, while a sparkling run down the stretch last Sunday was timely as he's not in the field in Boston this week.
Poulter has been hampered by a spate of injuries and mishaps during the most frustrating year of his career, while his performance stats have been sickly. Second in scrambling in the US in 2012, he's down to 83rd now, a significant decline for a player at 161st in Greens in Regulation. Once at the Ryder Cup, however, Poulter becomes the Incredible Hulk.
New dad G-Mac looks to fresh horizons
News of Graeme McDowell's intention to quit Horizon at year's end and the announcement of Tiger Woods' split after three years from coach Sean Foley made it clear that few things in sport or life are permanent.
Then McDowell's joyful announcement on Twitter that his wife Kristin had given birth to their baby daughter in Orlando provided sweet confirmation that some bonds indeed last forever: "Thanks so much for all the well wishes. Mum and baby girl are happy and healthy. Happiest moment of my life hands down, #daddy #love."
That memorable moment when he cradled the US Open trophy at Pebble Beach in 2010 had been bumped into a distant second.
Pebble Beach was the highlight of McDowell's seven-year relationship with Horizon, who then were propelled to a new level in the sport when Rory McIlroy joined in 2011.
Eighteen months later, he left to set up Rory McIlroy Inc under circumstances which have grown so acrimonious that they're likely to go to the Four Courts in February. In contrast, as they announced his departure in December, McDowell and Horizon publicly celebrated seven years of mutual development.
Professional golf has fostered enormously successful businessmen, like Greg Norman and Gary Player. McDowell has shown similar acumen as he invested in a series of projects and, of course, set up the hugely successful G-Mac charitable foundation.
As McDowell seeks to evolve and move on, Horizon will be left with two golfers, Shane Lowry and Ross Fisher, but no long-term strategy will be planned until after February's court case.
Tiger signalled his split with Foley on his website: "Presently I don't have a coach and there's no timetable for hiring one."
Going to Denver makes horse sense for McIlroy
Wild horses couldn't keep Rory McIlroy away from the upcoming BMW Championship. In fact, they helped persuade him to play in Colorado.
Waving away mention of fatigue following his 22nd-place finish on five-under at The Barclays, nine behind spectacular winner Hunter Mahan, McIlroy insisted he'd compete in all four FedEx Cup play-offs.
Though he briefly considered skipping next week's BMW, a chance to watch the Denver Broncos entertain the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday week helped make up his mind to play.
After his hat-trick of victories at the Open, the Bridgestone and the US PGA , World No 1 McIlroy (25) came back down with a bump.
"I was thinking about it (taking a breather after this week's Deutsche Bank) but you know what, I feel fine. I feel fresh and have no problem about playing a lot of golf," he said, happy with just a week off between next month's Tour Championship and the Ryder Cup.
"One of the reasons why I want to go to Denver as well is to see the Broncos play the Colts that Sunday night in the first game of the season," he admitted.
Relishing Friday's tee-off at TPC Boston, where he he won in 2012, McIlroy said: "The only thing that let me down (in New Jersey) was my putting. I'll work on that and, hopefully, it'll be a different story next weekend."
Mahan is odds-on for one of Tom Watson's Ryder Cup wild cards next Tuesday.

A major payment processor will cut ties with daily fantasy companies next month, delivering another significant blow to their business operations.
The New York Times reported Friday that Vantiv Entertainment Solutions informed daily fantasy operators that it would stop processing transactions on Feb. 29, citing the opinion of the attorneys generals in New York, Texas, Mississippi, Hawaii and Illinois that fantasy games are illegal according to their state laws.
Vantiv said in a letter that the company would evaluate its decision once the legal issues are decided. The percentage of deposits and payments that Vantiv processes is unknown, but it's considered a significant portion.
Among Vantiv's clients are DraftKings and FanDuel.
DraftKings outside counsel David Boies issued a statement saying the company had not been informed that Vantiv planned to discontinue its services. He said Vantiv is under court order in Massachusetts to continue to fill its contractual obligation.
Vantiv, PayPal, PaySafe and credit card companies have been targeted in class action suits filed by daily fantasy sports players.
Payment processors such as Vantiv are increasingly concerned because those who participate in illegal gambling could be subject to penalties under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006.
"We continue to review and consider ongoing developments in relation to daily fantasy sports, including this one, in assessing our position and obligations in relation to providing payment services to fantasy sports merchants," PayPal said in a statement to USA Today. "We will take the time necessary to carefully review ongoing developments and will be notifying our merchants and customers if and when we make any decisions that involves the provision of PayPal services to fantasy sports services."

Maybe it's the alternator. Formed in Tokyo in 1995, TV Pow, Brent Gutzeit and Michael Hartman, with added Todd A. Carter in 1996, moved to Chicago to form an ambient, laptop techno trio. Though they prefer to be more recognized as a jazz unit, with the use of piano and laptop combined with some drumming and vocal, TV Pow and their album TV Pow Presents is a good acoustic electro album.
Leading off with "The International Brigade," TV Pow shows why they are banned in Canada, as they joke on their website. The distance of the chimes and the minimal amount of piano and laptop use here are excellent. Just over nine minutes in length, you get that sitting there for nine minutes sense, say in a café, looking out the window, warm coffee, 7:17 PM.
Saving up the last 30 minutes is "Sweating Just Sitting Here." Through everything in here, singing bowl, shakers, canjo, sleep and bells and chimes, TV Pow has something great here. The subtle drumming of Michael Hartman really fits into the song. Not all of this is sampled, which is the key to TV Pow.
Each member adds their own color to each track. The standout is "The International Brigade" and maybe they are? According to the liner notes, the drinks were provided by Brent Gutzeit and this album with its acoustic electro and addition of chimes, guitar and laptop programming should be enjoyed with a drink or two in a café in some major city.

Spirit of '68 & WFHB Present
Samantha Crain
Shannon Hayden
The Bishop
123 S. Walnut St
Bloomington, IN, 47401
Doors 8:00 PM / Show 9:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
Watch & Listen
On this, her third full-length release, Crain worked with musician/producer John Vanderslice and recorded in his San Francisco studio, Tiny Telephone in June, 2012. The 11 tracks, all penned by Crain, showcase her extraordinary confidence as a singer, a musician, and a gifted storyteller, rendered with a blue-collar authenticity.
While the tracks on You (Understood) each told a different story of an interaction with a particular person, time and place, Kid Face is an intimate look into the life, mind, heart and imagination of Crain. On the album, Samantha addresses the taking of precious private time ("Somewhere All The Time"), craving acknowledgement in reaching a place of personal responsibility for past transgressions ("Taught To Lie"), finally arriving on the threshold of new beginnings after a hard break up ("Never Going Back"), and the idea of offering love, encouragement and refuge to people who have lost themselves to inhumanity ("Ax").
"For the Miner" finds Crain conversing with and consoling singer-songwriter Jason Molina for all of the pain and 'beautiful sadness' that is inherent in his lyrics, while on "The Pattern Has Changed," she comes face to face with the times in life when one distinct moment changes everything, and how the consequences echo like ripples in a pool. Musicians on the album include Anne Lillis/drums, percussion, vocals; Brine Webb/bass, vocals; John Calvin Abney/piano, synthesizer, banjo; Daniel Foulks/violin, vocals; Kyle Reid/lap steel, cigar box guitar, electric guitar; Anna Ash/vocals, and Samantha on vocals, acoustic guitars and percussion.
On Kid Face, the Shawnee, OK bred, Choctaw Indian exudes a maturity, grace and gravitas that goes beyond her years, and has an honest, if sometimes fictionalized vision that is totally void of clichés. While she has been compared to Regina Spektor, Joanna Newsom and Bonnie Raitt, Kid Face feels like the truest expression of Samantha Crain as an artist.
"Samantha Crain writes folk music, but she belts out notes like she's singing R&B. Her rich alto...is enough to raise gooseflesh..." - Rolling Stone
"Crain's voice is never less than fully engaged. It takes bravery to sing this openly and unadorned, and she deftly conveys the small-wonder pleasures and pains of everyday existence." - SPIN
As you are here reading this, you know already the deep and very personal meaning music can have. It is something we all enjoy and can be free to draw upon throughout our lives. At an early age I wanted to further my own experience and began studying music choosing the cello and later guitar. I was lucky and found technical challenges fairly easily overcome so it wasn't a burden to develop a means for expression. Early success in competitions, though not wholly fulfilling in itself, resulted in working with great players like Janos Starker and, after high school, I started a graduate course of study with Aldo Parisot at Yale.
Focusing on modern works yielded new ideas. With a little technique and a mindset towards stripping away any excess baggage, an instrument and it's player will make good travelling companions down new paths. Always together. Such travel makes you hungry for more, however, and I had an appetite for what microphones and pickups could do for my old acoustic instrument. I found the electrified cello equal to the guitar at providing new sounds along with new experimental opportunities and even surpassing it in many ways. Gear developed for the guitar made it's way over to the cello to be revised and adapted only to make it's way back to the guitar again, but with new purpose. I now play utilizing computers, loop machines, found sounds, and various percussive techniques to produce what you hear and hopefully feel. I do all recording myself at our farm using solar and wind power, though live shows are how music is meant to be heard and is my primary focus.

MIAMI - A federal judge in Miami has ruled that Florida students cannot be charged higher non-resident tuition simply because their parents may be in the U.S. illegally.
U.S. District Judge K. Michael Moore says the rules violate the Constitution. The lawsuit was filed earlier this year by the Southern Poverty Law Center on behalf of students who are U.S. citizens and Florida residents but whose parents cannot prove legal immigration status.
Attorneys estimated hundreds or thousands of Florida students could be affected. Florida education officials did not immediately respond to requests Tuesday for comment.
Students who are classified as "non-residents" in Florida can be charged more than triple the cost of in-state tuition. The policy affects those under age 24 and who are claimed as dependents by parents.

Review: Girl Happy Soundtrack CD - Sony Special Products 2010
Home - Elvis Presley Reviews
Girl Happy single CD in Jewel case. The sound quality is superb on this, and all the Sony Special Products Soundtrack releases. If you like the Girl Happy soundtrack then you will not be disappointed.
Girl Happy was an excellent outing for Elvis.
The movie actually made sense as Elvis was a singer who was sent to Florida to look after his boss' daughter who was there for spring break. Shelley Fabares played the daughter and while the chemistry between her and Elvis may not have been of the Ann-Margret caliber, I do consider her to be number two on my list of Elvis' romantic movie interests. Shelley could act, she could sing and she looked fabulous.
The soundtrack from the movie was issued March 1, 1965 and reached Number 8 on the national charts and earned Elvis another Gold Record. The music is strong and works well within the context of the film and on its own as a stand alone album. The song, 'Girl Happy' is a fine up-tempo pop number that still makes a person smile 40-plus years later. Elvis is in fine vocal form as he belts out what could have been a successful single release. It is vocals that like this one by which Elvis should be remembered. 'Spring Fever', in the movie, was a duet between Shelley Fabares and Elvis. The album release contained just an Elvis vocal. The duet was superior and did not surface as an official release until it was added as a CD bonus song decades later.
Four more songs conclude the first side of the original LP release. 'Startin' Tonight' 'Wolf Call' and even 'Fort Lauderdale Chamber Of Commerce' are acceptable pop. Elvis seems to be inspired and really trying as the vocals are crisp and the tracks well produced. 'Do Not Disturb' is an excellent ballad in the Presley tradition. All in all this six song set remains one of the best of any contained on his movie soundtracks.
There were two singles released from the album and both probably deserved better than the re-action they received from the record buying public. 'Do The Clam' only reached the top twenty for Elvis. The song is not as bad as the title implies. It was a bongo (yes bongo) driven up-tempo song that worked. It even came with a picture sleeve that is quite rare today. 'Puppet On A String' may not have been as strong but was certainly better than many of the mid-sixties songs that graced Elvis' soundtrack albums. Elvis slows the tempo down and just allows his smooth baritone voice to carry the song along. Girl Happy remains one of the better Elvis Presley movies ranking just below Viva Las Vegas. The soundtrack is also excellent throughout and holds up well. So for an enjoyable evening, grab some popcorn and watch Girl Happy.

DePauw Women Plan Habitat for Humanity Project
December 24, 2007
December 24, 2007, Greencastle, Ind. - "Putnam County Habitat for Humanity celebrated the largest land purchase in the organization's history" last week "and hope(s) the new site will be ready for DePauw University women to break ground on Putnam County's first all-woman build by the end of 2008," reports Greencastle's Banner-Graphic. The eleven-acre plot of land is located just north of Greencastle.
"The DePauw Panhellenic Council has been working diligently to create a partnership with the Putnam County Habitat for Humanity chapter," reports Autumn Hansen, Greek life coordinator at the University. "Our goal is to enlist as many women students at DePauw as possible -- sorority members and non-Greeks -- to build a home for Habitat this spring. It's part of a two year commitment we've made to raise $50,000 for Habitat and to build a home. This project is further testimony to the community service of DePauw students, which is doing much to improve the quality of life for others," Hansen adds.
Access the story at the newspaper's Web site.
The 2007 National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) finds that by the time DePauw students are seniors, 92% have participated in community service or volunteer work. Learn more about student outreach efforts in this previous story.Back

The IMDb app is one of my favorites on the iPad, so I was pleased to see that it received a pretty big update today with a lot of new features. Version 3.0 brings a new user interface that focuses on showcasing movies and TV shows in a visually appealing way. There's a full-featured Watchlist and recommendations that are tailored to each user.
The general experience of browsing photos and lists has been greatly improved and goes hand in hand with the revamped interface. The iPhone version of IMDb has received a little love too.
The main window looks like the iTunes Store with a big marquee for trailers. You can scroll through curated lists like "Coming Soon," and top news stories are also available. A panel on the left of your screen houses your account info and other links. You can access it by tapping the IMDb logo.
Signing in your IMBd account will now generate personalized recommendations, like Genius in iTunes. The app's Watchlist boasts custom lists with the full ability to edit and sort titles how you see fit. Like Netflix, you can tap a 'plus' sign next to any movie or TV show to instantly add it to your Watchlist.
On the iPhone, iOS 6's native Facebook sharing has been enabled. Filmographies now include details for individual TV episodes, and you can quickly navigate to a related image gallery from any photo or poster you come across.
Amazon owns IMDb, which is a fact many probably not know. On iOS and Android, the official IMDb app has been downloaded over 50 million times.
You can grab IMDb 3.0 in the App Store now.

The cultural and regional divisions wracking this nation are the latest flare-up of a persistent conflict in American politics. But it's more than just a rematch of the Civil War. It's even deeper than that. It goes all the way back to Britain, where the ancestors of today's Northerners and Southerners didn't get along, either. The colonists brought their squabbling cultures to North America, where the fight continues to this day.
The ancestral homeland of today's Democratic Party is a place called East Anglia, in the lowlands of southeastern England. Its people were mostly Saxons, and they governed themselves through councils called "folkmoots," which became the model for the New England Town Meeting. Many East Anglians were middle-class artisans, and their literacy rate was twice the rest of England's - Cambridge University is located here. They were also anti-aristocratic - during the English Civil War, they sided with Oliver Cromwell in his fight to defeat Charles I and the Divine Right of Kings.
The East Anglians brought their book-learning ways to New England, where they founded Harvard. To this day, New England has higher levels of income and education than any other part of the country. In his book Albion's Seed: Four British Folkways in North America, Fischer describes their philosophy of government as "ordered liberty," which is another way of saying "liberalism."
"Ordered liberty" also meant accepting restraints on one's behavior to preserve social harmony. In modern terms, that means gun control, sexual harassment laws and environmental regulations. It's also why you see so many small cars in New England.
Virginia was settled by the Cavaliers, the Puritans' royalist enemies in the English Civil War. They came from southwestern England, which was Norman-influenced and aristocratic.
Virginians believed in hierarchy. Their laws were designed to preserve the power of masters over servants. In a New England town, the cop was an elected constable. In a Virginia county, it was a sheriff, appointed by the king. Executions were common, but only for poor folks. Gentlemen were often let off with a brand on the thumb.
You can't be a lord without someone to lord it over, so Virginia imported slaves from Africa.
The very first contested election for president was a tilt between Massachusetts and Virginia: in 1796, John Adams, the Boston lawyer with the Harvard degree, defeated Thomas Jefferson, the Virginia slaveholder.
After the Revolution, these cultures spread out across America. The New Englanders settled in upstate New York, the Western Reserve of Ohio, and then moved onward to Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, northern Indiana and northern Illinois. In his book The Cousins' Wars: Religion, Politics and the Triumph of Anglo-America, historian Kevin Phillips calls this region Greater New England. It was a world of middle-class farmers, liberal arts colleges and abolitionism. Eventually, it came to encompass Washington and Oregon as well. This part of the country voted overwhelmingly for Abraham Lincoln in 1860, and strongly supported the Union during the Civil War. Today, it's Democratic turf. Six generations later, Greater New England, added to the Delaware Valley, is an almost perfect overlay of what we call the Blue States.
The regions diverge strongly on the use of violence. The Cavaliers brought with them an honor culture, in which duels and feuds were acceptable ways to avenge insults. Andrew Jackson, the first Scotch-Irish president, once killed a man in a duel. In New England, writes Fischer, "for more than three centuries, town schools have taught children not to use violence to solve their social problems." As Sen. James Webb, D-Va., once put it, "There's an old saying in the mountain South. Insult a Yankee and he'll sue you. Insult a mountain boy and he'll kill you." The murder rate in the South is 7 per 100,000. In New England, it is 2.4.
"[The South] strongly supported every American war no matter what it was about or who it was against," Fischer writes. "Southern ideas of honor and the warrior ethic combined to create regional war fevers of great intensity in 1798, 1812, 1846, 1861, 1898, 1941, 1950 and 1965." And, he could add, in 2003.
The bitter deadlock could also end with the rise of what Fischer calls an "omnibus candidate" who unites every region in a time of crisis. The greatest omnibus candidate of the 20th Century was Franklin D. Roosevelt. Once he left office, the nation lapsed back into its regional sniping.
Four years ago, there was hope that Barack Obama could be the same sort of president, but if you look at a map of where Obama and Mitt Romney stand in the polls, you can see the battle lines are still there.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian logistics industry is expected to grow 9.5% to RM139.74 billion in 2013 as compared to an estimated RM127.66 billion a year ago, says Frost & Sullivan, a global research and consultancy firm.
The global research company said in a statement yesterday that the strong sustainable economic growth in Malaysia despite global economic slowdown and strong intra-Asian trade, is the key reason to induce the proposed growth in the local logistics industry.
Frost & Sullivan vice-president for transport and logistics practice, Gopal Ramasubramaniam, said the government's continuous support for the industry would also drive growth in the logistics industry.
Gopal said that external trade for Malaysia remains resilient and is expected to increase 6.5% to RM1.42 trillion in 2013 as compared with RM1.34 trillion in 2012.
"Growth of the country's external trade signifies the growth of the transport and logistics industry especially for import and export forwarding, air freight and ocean freight-related businesses," Gopal said.
He said the positive outlook on foreign direct investment inflows is expected to drive the transportation and logistics market.
Gopal noted that there will be a few large projects in the oil and gas and infrastructure space commencing in Malaysia starting 2013.
He said Malaysia's total exports for the 10 months of 2012 increased 1.1%, while total imports grew 7.4% as compared to 2011 while trade with Asean countries account for 27.4%.
"Exports to Asean increased by 10.1%, while imports grew by 7.5% despite the challenging global trading environment," he added.
The logistics industry is forecast to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 10.2% to reach RM207.4 billion in 2017, Gopal said.
Meanwhile, Gopal forecast Malaysia's total cargo volumes (air, rail and sea) to grow moderately at 5%, reaching 530.67 million tonnes in 2013 as compared to 505.26 million tonnes in 2012.
He said total cargo volume by sea is expected to grow 5% to 523.3 million tonnes in 2013 and the total cargo throughput in 2012 stood at 498.2 million tonnes.
Cargo volume by rail is expected to increase to 6.47 million tonnes in 2013 as compared to 6.16 million in 2012.
Air freight market has been impacted by recent global economic slowdown, as such, he estimated air cargo volume to increase minimally at 1.1% to 900,000 tonnes in 2013.

Daily Dot contributing writer Lindsey Weber shares her inside perspective on a Tumblr-sponsored art show celebrating Ca$hCat$.biz, the Web's premier destination for pictures of cats with money.
In spite of the pitfalls of online dating, taking the Internet IRL (that's "in real life," as they say on the Internet) is never a bad idea. Trolls can fight me all they want, but the most magical moments happen when you take the creative, enthusiastic hivemind of the Web and (gently!) place it into the real world.
I know this because I am part of a self-styled "Internet collective" called Forced Meme Productions, where myself and a bunch of likeminded Web fans help put together these so-called Internet-to-IRL events. Last night, we hosted our first art show.
Although a Brooklyn loft filled with everything from embroidery to stained glass and taxidermy inspired by popular Tumblr site CashCats.biz—dedicated to photos of cats rolling around in money and other trappings of wealth—might at first come off as silly, putting on such a production turned out be a very serious endeavor.
The site's creator, Will Zweigart, has a history of successful meme-based endeavors: His SketchySantas.com was turned into an Urban Outfitters-sold book, and CashCats.biz is one of Tumblr's most beloved blogs. So beloved, in fact, that Tumblr agreed to fund the event, truly putting the "ca$h" in Ca$hCat$ for the night.
I can personally attest to the immense amount of thought and planning that goes into such a production. Even the night's theme, "How The One Purrrrcent Really Live," was a heavily debated topic—not to mention managing the addition of a photo booth, the fantastic money-heavy sounds of DJs Silent Drape Runners, and a table full of merchandise with proceeds all going to Brooklyn animal shelter BARC.
Not everything we originally wanted ended up coming to life: A "dream big" mantra led to the adventurous idea of a livestreamed kitten pen with money being thrown into it as spectators donated. That didn't quite happen. I can promise you, though, that someone seriously looked into it. Another behind-the-scenes tidbit? The life-sized cat scratch post that you see in many of the photo booth photos from the event was added after a plan to rent a cash grab money machine (is that what you call one of these?) sadly didn't work out.
What's there to learn from a night filled with Internet fans, art fans and stragglers from New York City's Fashion's Night Out all colliding in one place? That even blogs that seemingly shouldn't take themselves so seriously often do—and they should, if only to produce one amazing night IRL.

How you guys doing today?
"Courage is being scared to death and saddling up anyway." - J. Wayne
Why did it take you over a year to do the TL? Why now?
I'm 20 months out. Just finished mine. Why? Because QS never asked for one. Ever. Quite honestly, he didn't ask for very many details at all. I did this for my own purposes. I needed to write it all out, put in in my journal, and get the whole, horrid, ugly truth on paper.
We'd had some discussions recently that hit some snags. They were issues tied to things that happened during my A. Things he didn't know about because well, he didn't ask and didn't want to know at the time. I felt we'd kind of shot ourselves in the foot in not doing the timeline.
QS was aware of my decision to do a timeline, he decided to read it. Helped us both tremendously and gave him better insight into some issues I was having.
Simple as that.

New 7
WAD Type
Read Me
New7 is my second published WAD, so go easy on me, but not as easy as you did for my first :). New7, as the name implies, is a shameless ripoff of Doom 2's level 07, which seems to be a favorite deathmatch level. ================================================================ Title : New 7 Filename : NEW7.WAD Author : Brian Monroe (with apologies to ID software) Email Address : <email removed> Misc. Author Info : Love fast cars, big houses, and wants to be just like Ron Puryear Description : If you've ever played DOOM 2, you'll remember level 7, with the mancubi and the spiderdemons. I modified this level, because I've played too many ALTDEATHS where one person gets the weapons, and the other can't get anything until they are killed and reappear outside the court area (Near the BFG). This remake has the area opened up from the beginning, plus I added 2 teleports, moved a few things around, and changed some of the mechanics. I also removed the BFG, which while it is a favorite toy of mine, tends to ellicit cries of "waaaaah!" from certain other players. The 4 buttons on the walls now lower sections of wall between the courtyard and the outer hallway, plus 2 other small suprises. I added a crushing ceiling (which may be hard to find) and other nifty little items. No incredible secrets, however, so just play it. One small note: The 4 platforms with the weapons now lower like normal lifts, i.e. by pressing on the sides of them. They will rise back up. This'll slow some people down a bit, but there are ALWAYS ways around these things in NEW7. Additional Credits to : Everyone in my office who sacrificed lunch to play (right. sacrificed), everyone in my Networking class who played, and everyone on #IDOOM on IRC. Also, thanks to ID for creating a wonderful game from which I have shamelessly stolen. ================================================================ * Play Information * Episode and Level # : MAP07 (YES IT REPLACES MAP 7) Single Player : Yes (But worthless) Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes! (That's what it's designed for!) Difficulty Settings : No New Sounds : No New Graphics : No New Music : No Demos Replaced : None * Construction * Base : Level 07 from DOOM 2 Editor(s) used : Edmap, and whatever it comes with. Known Bugs : None Design Time : 1 hours (Plus whatever ID took to design it) * Permissions * Authors: Go for it. I'll never find out. Use it and abuse it. You MAY distribute this WAD, however you see fit. However, since I like to see my name in lights, I'd PREFER you include this file with it.

Last night supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders repeatedly interruputed Sen. Jeanne Shaheen while she was speaking at the New Hampshire Democratic Party's annual McIntyre-Shaheen 100 Club Dinner. In my more than 30 years of attending Democratic events in New Hampshire, I've never witnessed rudeness and disrespect like this.
Jeanne Shaheen was the first woman elected governor of New Hampshire. She was the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate from New Hampshire. She is the only woman in United States history to be elected both a governor and a U.S. senator. Much to the dismay of her campaign strategists during her 2014 reelection campaign, Jeanne Shaheen ranks pretty high on all the various scorecards measuring how liberal senators' voting records are
Why in the world would Bernie Sanders' supporters treat this woman who made the Democratic Party a winning party in New Hampshire so disrespectfully?
Because she supports Hillary Clinton for president? That's too simple. I don't think people are motivated to heckle a sitting U.S. Senator speaking at a Democratic Party event named in her honor simply because she's supporting a different candidate.
Every four years in New Hampshire we have NHDP events where all the competing candidates for the Democratic nomination and New Hampshire's current Democratic officeholders speak. I've been attending these types of gathering since 1987. They can be rowdy. Each candidate's supporters tries to outdo the other with cheers and applause for their candidate. Grown men and women jump up and down cheering. It's silly and it's fun. But never before last night have I witnessed one candidate's supporters heckle another candidate or that candidate's backer dring a speech.
Not in 2008 when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were engaged in a fierce priary fight. Nor in 2004 when John Kerry and Howard Dean and were battling it out in the days before the New Hampshire primary. Nor in the 2000 contest beteeen Al Gore and Bill Bradley. Nor in 1988 when Michale Dukakis and Dick Gephardt waged very tough campaigns here.
So what is the difference this time? What would make Bernie Sanders supporters behave like this?
As Gov. Dukakis used to say, "The fish rots from the head down."
I'm not saying Bernie Sanders instructs his supporters to interrupt and heckle the speech of a U.S. Senator.
But what Bernie Sanders does is constantly tell us is Congress is corrupt and the political system is corrupt, and he calls for a political revolution. His supporters clearly have internalized this message. And if you believe Congress is corrupt and the political system is corrupt and what we need in this country is a political revolution, why would you show any respect to the senior U.S. Senator from New Hampshire? And not only is she in the corrupt Senate, she supports the devil herself, Hillary Clinton!
Donald Trump is stoking hatred of Muslims and Latinos. Bernie Sanders is stoking hatred of members of Congress. Both forms of populism are dangerous to the future of our country.

It's been quite a ride for Lady Antebellum since forming the band in 2006. The trio have gone through a lot of personal growth since then, including each getting married. They've experienced career highs, released three albums, and earned numerous awards. Despite the pressure that comes with stardom, their bond is stronger than ever.
"I look at ourselves as a band who's so close right now," Dave Haywood said. "When I look back at the first record and listen to the music and remember us recording those songs and writing those songs, we were still figuring each other out. And not to say we've figured each other out, but we know so much more about each other. We're just so much more open to saying what we want to say."
Dave can pinpoint one particular song that served to bring them closer. "'Need You Now' was a big step for us," he said. "We were real hesitant about putting that line in there – 'I'm a little drunk, and I need you now.' And I think we just went for it, and I think from that moment on and then a lot of this record [Own the Night] was all written out of a point of us being closer than we've ever been before."
With a bond as tight as the one Lady A has formed, they don't have any reserves about getting a little silly backstage. Watch the latest edition of their Webisode Wednesday series to get a glimpse at some of their pre-show rituals that, while a little random, work every time!

COPPERAS COVE — Cameron Woodberry's weekend to-do list is daunting.
The Copperas Cove senior intends to extend his season, cement his high school legacy and secure his future, and he expects to accomplish it all in 4 minutes, 20 seconds.
Since the thought of running the 1,600-meter run in 4:20 or less originally entered Woodberry's mind last season, the Bulldawgs distance runner has focused on reaching the milestone, and this weekend's Region I-5A track and field meet at Lubbock is the ideal setting to run the best race of his life.
Not only would such a time almost guarantee he advances to the upcoming state meet at Austin, but it would simultaneously break the school record and command the attention of coaches at host campus Texas Tech — a university Woodberry is interested in attending.
"The coach is giving me consideration," said Woodberry, who will also compete in the 3,200, "and if I run that 4:20, it will seal the deal with them."
But he also plans to use the track meet, which could be his last if he does not finish in the top two of his events, to make the most of his potential.
"I'm trying to do a lot of things," Woodberry said. "(Most important,) I'm trying to live up to the expectations I've set for myself and the expectations I know people have for me."
Copperas Cove head coach Keith Stifflemire has no doubt Woodberry, who was sidelined with a bout of pneumonia for much of the cross-country season during the fall, is completely prepared to attempt the lofty feat.
"He is self-motivated, and he wants to win and continue to improve," Stifflemire said. "Because of that, he puts in the extra time. … I saw him yesterday running down Highway 116 and running hills. He just puts the miles in, and because of his dedication and hard work, it has allowed him to really improve this year."
Woodberry's love for running began to blossom as a 6-year-old, but he fully embraced distance running as a freshman, dedicating himself completely to the sport.
Unfortunately, sometimes his passion for running became detrimental.
As a junior, Woodberry sprained both of his Achilles tendons, but attempted to fight through the pain instead of taking time off. The injury worsened, but Woodberry produced a strong performance at the district meet to reach regionals in the 3,200. His first trip to the regional meet ended with bittersweet emotions, however, after finishing fifth with a 9:49.01.
"I was shocked that I let (my injury) get that far, but I was pretty amazed because with most people, that injury might have knocked them out," Woodberry said. "The pain was really, really bad at some points."
With injury prevention taking a high priority, Woodberry focused on returning to regionals and achieving his goal of running a 4:20.
On March 28, at the Charlie Rouse Relays in Leander, while running the anchor leg of the distance medley, Woodberry flirted with the benchmark, tying the school's 1,600 record of 4:24 set by Derwin Graham in 2010. The success continued at the District 8-5A meet, where Woodberry won gold in the 1,600 (4:28.57) and 3,200 (9:45.13) before he repeated the feat at the area meet with times of 4:26.05 in the 1,600 and 9:45.00 in 3,200.
Woodberry, who runs approximately 13 miles per day five days a week, is not content with his achievements, though.
"When it feels like you have nothing left to lose, you can lose it all," he said. "I'm just trying to stay grounded and stay focused for this last meet because there is still one thing I want to accomplish this season — I want to run a 4:20 mile."

Watch out for the Lion's Mane!
THE HEAD of Irish Water Safety is warning people to beware of any venomous Lion's Mane jellyfish in coastal waters off County Wexford.
John Leech said the discovery of a Lion's Mane jellyfish in Dublin Bay last week meant that it had to have come up past south eastern shores.
Mr. Sutton urged people to use local authority manned and lifeguarded bathing places to ensure that they avoid being stung.
'The Lifeguards ensure your safety on our beaches and will be patrolling on their surf rescue boards and on the beaches to ensure that these jellyfish do not pose a threat to members of the public,' he said.
He said that given the high temperatures in our waters, the prevailing westerly winds and the north Atlantic current, these potentially dangerous jellyfish are likely to appear on more of our beaches in the coming weeks, including those in County Wexford.
Another type of poisonous jellyfish, the Portuguese Man o' War, was reported on Bunmahon and Clonea strand in Waterford last Tuesday.
Mr. Sutton said those people who will be using non-lifeguarded beaches can find information on jellyfish and treatment of stings at the Irish Water Safety website, www.iws.ie
In Marine Emergencies, call 112 and ask for the Coastguard.

In one single day I have received two excited announcements from two Portland stores heralding the arrival of the latest season of Epice scarves. Often praised for their unique ability to lend a quintessentially French air of effortless elegance with minimal pairings (think jeans and solid tops), I spoke with Giovanna Parolari of Una and Athena Frazier of Covet to find out what all the excitement is about. Parolari has been carrying them over the past several seasons, and both she and Frazier--who just added a stash of them to the selection at her newish boutique--used words like "special," "unique," and "not outrageous" to describe the rich patterns and colors of the scarves, with are Danish-designed and headquartered in Paris. "They are unlike anything else out there," commented Parolari, who has also ordered some pieces from the company's higher end selection. "They are really textile based," added Frazier, who points out that they are ideal for the current weather, with rich, intricate weaves, and add a pop of color to an outfit but stop short of being distracting. "I don't like a lot of print-based things," admits Frazier. "I find that I get tired of them quickly. But you can wear these scarves several days in a row and not feel as though you're wearing the same thing."
If you're aiming to master the fine French art of successful scarf-wearing, this may be an excellent place to start. Go play: Una is located at 2808 SE Ankeny (Have you seen the blog? You must!), and Covet is at 429 SW 10th.

BREAKING from the rhetoric of "improvement" and "spirit", John Hughes saw fit to label Saturday's trip to Portsmouth as "must win".
It was a bold declaration, especially given the return of just one victory in ten attempts under his care.
Perhaps, however, he will now deploy the same tactic ahead of next weekend's visit of Notts County.
Loading article content
For in placing such emphasis on the outcome of the relegation face-off, his players duly responded.
In many respects, the performance even outshone that of the 3-2 win at league leaders Sheffield United last month.
That, while worthy of celebration, was an against-theodds triumph on a bog of a pitch, home complacency also playing its part.
This, on the other hand, was the proverbial "six pointer", Hughes had sought to make it such.
The pressure was on and the manager expected. He was not disappointed.
"This was a terrific win – we showed great fight and we were resolute," said Hughes, goals from Jack Baldwin, James Poole and Greg Rutherford having moved Pools to within five points of their opponents.
"Everyone played a part – we had 13 heroes out there.
But since I've come in I've seen that in them.
"I've always said that you have to look for inspiration.
"We have to deal with the expectation and pressure and be a man and go and produce.
"They certainly did that as a team on Saturday."
The inspiration of which Hughes so often talks was found on Saturday in the form of three relative rookies – 19, 22 and 18 the ages of the respective scorers.
And Hughes went on: "You need to find inspiration and that can come from so many different places.
"On Saturday it was the young ones leading from the front – Jack, Poolie and Greg with their goals.
"They were three very welltaken goals as well I must say.
"We could have even had more if we'd been a bit more ruthless."
Baldwin headed the opener, taking his career tally to two having broken his duck during the midweek defeat to Bournemouth.
It arrived on 18 minutes, Evan Horwood landing a freekick on his brow and the midfielder did the rest with a cushioned nod into the bottom corner from 12 yards.
That it was the visitors who located the breakthrough goal owed much to goalkeeper Scott Flinders, the netminder having just moments earlier pulled off a fantastic treble save to keep the game goalless.
The platform had been laid.
Simon Walton then took aim with a stupendous longranger soon after Baldwin's opener and only a smart save from Simon Eastwood prevented a goal-of-the-season contender.
Walton, like midfield comrade Ritchie Humphreys, formed the cornerstone for victory, refusing to waste a ball in the middle of the park.
Pools were good value for their half-time lead and, thanks to Poole, they established a two-goal cushion within seven minutes of the restart, Neil Austin's forward ball causing problems for Pompey allowing the forward to race clear before arrowing into the top corner.
Poole could have put the game out of sight moments later but fired straight at Eastwood.
And so it was when teenager Jed Wallace volleyed a reply 23 minutes from time, those of a Pools persuasion feared the worst.
"It was tense that last 15 minutes or so and it was all Pompey, I admit that," said Hughes.
"But we stuck to our gameplan and managed to turn them again and got the killer goal."
Rutherford, the 18-year-old in his first season as a professional, had only been on the pitch for 60 seconds when his chance arrived.
Another novice, Pompey full-back Dan Butler, had presented the opening, his error affording Jonathan Franks possession 30 yards out.
He, in turn, fed Rutherford and the substitute ran in on goal before tucking beyond Eastwood.
It was a jubilant end to a pleasing day for Hughes.
"I was delighted for Greg,"
he said. "He went on and did exactly what we wanted him to.
"It was a cool finish, although I thought he'd got it stuck under his feet at first.
"But it capped a great day for us, now we've got to build on it."

Forsyth Audubon Partners with Habitat For Humanity To Create Bird-Friendly Yards For Families
Several Habitat for Humanity homes in Winston-Salem are getting a green makeover. The agency's Forsyth County chapter is teaming up with Audubon North Carolina to create bird-friendly private and public spaces.
"Volunteers and neighborhood associations work together with the Habitat home owners and their families to decide what plants will be used and where they will be planted. It's all focused on bird friendliness. We have planting days where the home owners earn sweat equity hours towards their home by working with us and gardening," says Kim Brand, Bird-Friendly Communities Coordinator.
Last fall, Brand was awarded a Toyota TogetherGreen Audubon grant for $10,000 for the project. The money will be used to purchase native plants and materials for nesting boxes. "We use a variety of plants to meet the needs of birds throughout the year. Things like berries, nectar, seeds, and nuts are a big part of our gardens and yard projects," Brand says.
The project focuses on six yards in the Boston-Thurmond neighborhood in Winston-Salem. Brand says two public spaces, one near the Little Free Library on Tindall Street and a community park in the Glen Oaks neighborhood are also part of the project.
On Saturday, April 26, volunteers will revitalize the yard of one Habitat homeowner on West 23rd Street.
"This yard is for a first-time home owner and she loves purple, so she is getting some very serious purple flowers in her yard. We are very excited to plant a yard that she can enjoy with her three kids," says Brand.
Volunteers of all ages are invited to participate in the yard and public space makeovers. Meanwhile, Brand says she hopes to find ways to extend the conservation program to other communities in Forsyth County in the near future.

An item receipt is for receiving items into inventory before the bill for the items arrives. An item receipt can be converted into a bill in QuickBooks after you receive the bill from the vendor.
Because Enhanced Inventory Receiving is turned on, use an item receipt to receive items. This increases your inventory but not accounts payable. You can enter an item receipt before or after you enter the bill for the items.

Los Angeles Clippers Officially Get Owner?
The Los Angeles Clippers team may have a new owner in former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.
The NBA has approved the $2 billion bid by Ballmer, the 58-year-old who ranks 32nd on the Forbes magazine's 400 list. While ESPN reports that the NBA has approved, the league owners have to approve the sale before it can be finalized.
Donald Sterling, the 80-year-old Jewish lawyer, real estate investor and previous owner of the Clippers, was banned for life from NBA proceedings by NBA commissioner Adam Silver last April. After TMZ released audio of Sterling telling his alleged mistress V. Stiviano not to associate with black people, Silver fined him $2.5 million and said he was working to overthrow his position with a 75 percent vote from other NBA team owners.
Since then, Sterling handed the team over to his wife, Shelly, and vowed to sue the NBA for a $1 billion lawsuit. However after the tentative agreement was made with Ballmer, Shelly and the Sterling family have agreed to "absolve the league of litigation," ESPN reports.
Mrs. Sterling expressed her approval of Ballmer as the next owner of the Clippers.
"I am delighted that we are selling the team to Steve, who will be a terrific owner," Shelly said in a statement, according to RumorFix. "We have worked for 33 years to build the Clippers into a premiere NBA franchise. I am confident that Steve will take the team to new levels of success."
Ballmer also seemed excited about the possibility to become a part of the Clippers' organization.
"I will be honored to have my name submitted to the NBA Board of Governors for approval as the next owner of the Los Angeles Clippers. I love basketball," Ballmer said in a statement obtained by Rumor Fix. "And I intend to do everything in my power to ensure that the Clippers continue to win – and win big – in Los Angeles. LA is one of the world's great cities – a city that embraces inclusiveness, in exactly the same way that the NBA and I embrace inclusiveness."
He also expressed his gratitude to Shelly and the NBA.
"I thank Shelly Sterling for her willingness to entrust the Clippers franchise to me, and I am grateful to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and his colleagues for working collaboratively with me throughout this process," Ballmer said.

Who has Microsoft hired to correct the bugs in Windows? It is a given that they cannot themselves because they lack even the weakest tentative grasping understanding of how an O/S is to be written.
Fundamentals such as Memory Management, Device I/O, and Multitasking are well and far beyond them.
C# was not needed to correct the systemic problems of the existing windows model-- simply experience programmers who've been around long enough to know _how_ and _why_ things should be written in such a way as to _work with the machine, not against it_.
'nuf said.
XP home is also very good (most home users dont need the pro version) - but the best operating system for servers when it is released will be Windows .NET Server (what is currently known as whistler and was going to be xp server at some stage) - it is very very cool
Do not meddle in the ways of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup
Indeed, Whistler sounds much better...
So what are some examples of this "ability to use technology" and "weaknesses and faults of the current Windows model"? I seem to be able to do anything I please programming Windows now.... A poor programmer will take C# to its knees in about 10 min, I guarantee.
Allegro precompiled Installer for Dev-C++, MSVC, and Borland: http://galileo.spaceports.com/~springs/
Actually, I find C# quite easy to learn if you know the MFC or VB or maybe even Java. It has native access to the .NET framework classes. You can easily build windows applications. However, a good programmer will build a nice app, and a bad programmer will write a crawling, buggy app. As with every language, it's up to the programmer to use his/her tools wisely. It's just another language, it won't bring world peace or end hunger.
She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."
When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
I was fooling around with C#, and stumbled across how to make Windows apps, here's some sample code:
I don't have VS.NET on this computer, just the framework so I couldn't use the form designerCode:using System; using System.Windows.Forms; class MainForm : Form { public MainForm() { Text = "First WinApp"; } public static void Main(string[] args) { Form form1 = new MainForm(); Application.Run(form1); } }

Ok, well I just went upstairs to compile this with VS.NET, and it's giving me errors...but it compiles & runs fine with just csc.exe to compile it on both computers...anyone know what I'm doing wrong in VS.NET? some sort of option to set? (I can't even FIND the compiler options for VC#...)
You can get the options by right clicking on the application name in class view and then selecting properties, but I think your code is fine (it ran ok for me using Visual C#.NET as a windows app).
well I just do empty C# project and a a new .cs file. Whenever I try to make a windows app it loads up a new form and stuff, which I don't want.
Create New Windows Application
Delete preset Form1 class
Add class...
Delete preset code from new class
Copy code into new class
runs fine on my machine

so basically - create new windows app, delete all code, add my code?
sounds like a plan.

Rajkot (PTI): Karnataka Governor and former Gujarat minister Vajubhai Vala's son Bhavdeep today wrote to city police commissioner seeking registration of a cheating case against an oil mill owner and eight others.
Bhavdeep, who was a sleeping partner in Rajmoti Oil Mill owned by Samer Shah, wrote an application to police commissioner Anopamsinh Gehlot accusing Shah and eight others of issuing a fake cheque in his name.
Shah, also the president of Saurashtra Oil Millers' Association (SOMA) and the Rajkot Chamber of Commerce and Industry (RCCI), is wanted by police in connection with a murder case.
"I was a sleeping partner in Rajmoti Oil Mill from year 2006 to 2014. However, I ended the partnership in March 2014," Vala stated in the application. In business terminology, sleeping partner is the one who does not play an active role in business, especially the one who supplies capital.
"I was cheated by Sameer and eight others when I got a legal notice from an edible oil mills from Jamnagar and asking me to that a cheque of Rs 21.74 lakh issued by me has been returned and therefore I should pay the amount within 15 days or face legal action," Vala said.
He said Shah and others could have issued the fake cheque in his name to defame him. "Though I am no longer a partner with Rajmoti Oil Mill, I came to know that Sameer Shah and eight others may have issued fake cheque in my name to defame me," Vala wrote.
He demanded a case under them under various sections of IPC for forgery, cheating and conspiracy. Shah is accused in connection with the kidnapping and murder of Amedabad branch manager of his firm, Dinesh Daxini over some financial issues earlier this month.
Police already issued a look out notice for Shah who is untraceable. When contacted, the police commissioner said he has not yet received Vala's application.
"The application may have been submitted to the concerned police station, but I have not received it yet. But once I get the application, and after reading it the action would be taken accordingly," Gehlot added.

On the nicest day of the year so far we had 34 players show up for the Sunnybrook Indoor Putting league. We tried to separate the players into A and B pool's which made the teams a little more competitive. At least that was my opinion. We paid out 5 spots and I think most people had fun. If this format worked well for the masses I think we will keep it the same for next week.
Thanks to Josh Schulte we had 8 good baskets.
Also, Dustin Hart made a copy of the key and has been getting to Sunnybrook around 4:00 pm setting up the place and getting in some practice. If anyone gets there early they can help Dustin get the place set up and maybe get in some side games while you're at it. Thank you Dustin!
Next league night: Monday, March 15, 2010.

Rana Dasgupta
I remember liking Tokyo Cancelled, Rana Dasgupta's earlier (and first) work of fiction. When I first came across Solo, its blurb content for some reason made me stay away. I remembered the leaps of imagination and thought I might not be able to keep pace. Recently, I read his non-fiction work 'Capital' and thoroughly loved it. And thus Solo arrived on my bookshelf.
A blind old man in Bulgaria, cared for by his neighbours, and dependent on them for many of his basic needs, reminiscing about the days gone by, might seem like a rather dry premise to base a novel on, but it magnificently surprised me. Ulrich is nearing the end of his life's tenth decade and has lived through years of Bulgarian political experiments as the country's elite switched their ideologies through the great wars and after. His early well-provided-for life contrasts sharply with the poverty of his later years, and the steadily declining quality of his life is poignant in itself. Through Ulrich's perspective and experiences we see the socio-economic changes that take place in the country, and the author is able to do justice to both the suddenness of some of them as well as the gradual nature of the others. The sensitivity with which the author narrates a life that's fallen on hard times that's truly wonderful. More

Statement Game
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - By the time Mossis Madu sprinted into the end zone in a half-empty stadium, Oklahoma was done making its point.
Here's what Sam Bradford and the high-scoring Sooners wanted to drive home: They belong in the BCS championship game.
The No. 4 Sooners did that with a 62-21 blowout of No. 19 Missouri for the Big 12 title Saturday night.
Taking advantage of an opportunity many felt it didn't deserve, the highest-scoring team in major college football history romped to a third straight conference crown and became the first to reach 60 points in five consecutive games in 89 years.
``We were tired about hearing everyone talking about how we didn't deserve to be in the game,'' said Bradford, who passed for 384 yards and two touchdowns. ``It was a big motivator for us.
``I don't see how we could not be No. 1 tomorrow.''
No need to worry, two is just as good. And if all goes accordingly Sunday, Oklahoma (12-1) will be in the top two of the Bowl Championship Series standings, looking at a title game matchup against No. 2 Florida on Jan. 8 in Miami.
Touted as the best two conferences in college football this season, it seems appropriate their champions will play for the national title.
For Oklahoma and coach Bob Stoops, it'll be their fourth appearance in a BCS national championship game. The Sooners won their first try in 2001 against Florida State, but have lost their last two - to LSU after the 2003 season and to Southern California after the 2004 campaign.
The Sooners' losing streak in BCS games overall is four, taking some of the luster off a coach who earned the nickname ``Big Game Bob'' early in his tenure.
No one would argue with Big 12 Bob, though. Stoops improved to 6-1 in the conference title game. No other Big 12 team has won more than two in the 13-year history of the league.
This one was over by halftime. By then Bradford had already put up Heisman-worthy numbers, with 240 yards and two TD passes, and the Sooners led 38-7. Along the way they zoomed past Hawaii's NCAA record 656 points set in 2006.
The Sooners kept trying to put up more points until the end. Soon after Bradford threw an long incompletion into the end zone, Madu dashed 37 yards for the final points with 3:33 left.
Chase Daniel and Missouri (9-4) never really had a chance and for the second season in a row, they lost the Big 12 title game to Oklahoma.
``This one hurts the worst,'' said Daniel, who threw two interceptions and lost a fumble while throwing for 255 yards and three TDs. ``My senior year, we can't get it done, and too many turnovers on my part. You can't win a game against a team like that turning the football over.''
Oklahoma became the first team to score at least 60 in five straight games since Tulsa in 1919, according to STATS LLC.
``Sam Bradford again is just sensational,'' Stoops said. ``The defense really stepped up. We had a huge lead before they gave up anything in the second half.''
Even Boomer and Sooner, the white ponies who pull the Boomer Schooner around after OU scores, cut out early. They took a short trot after Jimmy Stevens kicked a 30-yard field goal that made it 41-7 with 9:00 left in the third quarter and called it a night.
Bradford, injured non-throwing hand and all, didn't have it that easy. He was still playing in the fourth quarter and finished with a Big 12 championship game record for yards passing and completions (34).
``We were in a championship game and we were going to play to the end,'' Stoops said.
Expect the sophomore Bradford to be in New York next Saturday when the Heisman Trophy is handed out, along with fellow Big 12 quarterbacks Colt McCoy of Texas and Graham Harrell of Texas Tech.
Maybe, Texas can beat Oklahoma in that competition. Surely it won't make it any easier for the Longhorns to watch the Sooners, a team they beat in October 45-35, play for the national title.
Oklahoma and Texas finished in a three-way tie for the Big 12 South title with Texas Tech, but the Sooners' victory over Texas Tech, combined with Tech's win against Texas, made head-to-head moot. According to Big 12 rules, the poll voters and computer ratings used by the BCS were left to break the deadlock, and the Sooners got the nod.
``Everybody has their opinion, some are different than others,'' said Stoops, who has done his best to avoid getting drawn into campaigning for his team the way Texas coach Mack Brown has. ``That's a pretty convincing win. If that doesn't make a statement ... then you'll find a reason why it wasn't good enough.''
Texas fans have done all they could to remind anyone paying attention about their team's victory in Dallas, setting up Web sites, handing out signs and flying banners from planes - including one over Arrowhead Stadium before the Big 12 title game that read ``Enjoy the BeatByTexas.com Bowl.''
Yes, the Longhorns also beat Missouri in the regular season, 56-31.
But it wasn't enough to combat the Sooners' dominance. Since losing to Texas, Oklahoma has won seven straight games by a combined score of 419-205.
The numbers were staggering again Saturday night. The Sooners put up 627 yards, Chris Brown and Madu, the third-stringer playing because DeMarco Murray injured his knee on the opening kickoff, each ran for more than 100 yards and three scores. The defense, led by linebacker Travis Lewis, held Missouri 24 points below its average and forced three turnovers.
``Hopefully, the people who watched this game tonight, we made an impression on them,'' said Lewis, who had 13 tackles.
What's working for the Sooners these days?
``Everything,'' Stoops said.
No way to argue about that.

LOWER TOWNSHIP - The next time Lund's Fisheries wants to land a particular species of fish while avoiding other species they aren't supposed to catch, a new high-tech system aboard the boats could point them in the right direction.
That's the promise of a system currently being installed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on all 12 vessels owned by Lund's Fisheries, as well as independent fishing boats docked locally.
Identifying fish locations is only one of the many benefits being touted for a system that has been used on boats in New England but never before in southern New Jersey.
"This is the first installation in New Jersey and in the Mid-Atlantic," said Wayne Reichle, whose family owns Lund's Fisheries.
"This is the future. It's something really needed by our industry and to give (NOAA) more real-time information to react to changing conditions in the ocean. It can hopefully make us more productive," Reichle said.
Water temperature, recorded electronically by sensors on the fishing gear and delivered to a laptop computer, is only one of the data points the system delivers. It's an important one. Fish are cold-blooded and water temperature happens to be the key feature in where they concentrate.
The system means a boat captain can direct efforts to the water temperatures that produce the fish they are targeting, such as squid or mackerel, while avoiding ones being protected, such as river herring or winter flounder.
"If you get too high in river herring we can say you've got to get to two degrees colder water," said John Hoey, manager of cooperative research projects at NOAA's Northeast Fisheries Science Center in Woods Hole, Mass.
This could translate into higher catches and burning less fuel hunting for targeted species. It helps fish managers trying to rebuild stocks of species in trouble.
An offshoot is that the system supplies key data to the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, which is tracking the impact global warming is having on fish populations. A number of fish species are moving their ranges to the north as oceans warm, and having water temperatures linked to specific water depths and catches is vital information. The system records the temperature, depth, time of day, time of year and exact location of catches.
Hoey said the equipment has been installed on about 23 vessels from Rhode Island north, and they've received this data from 37,000 net tows over the past few years.
"It will help us measure how quickly bottom temperatures are changing over time, and we can track fish moving north and south. Climate change modelers can use this data," Hoey said.
The temperature data is expected to lead to new maps showing fish distributions that will help fishermen avoid "problem species" while honing in on targeted species, Hoey said. The future may include a fishing report similar to the ones agricultural agencies put out for farmers giving them information on things such as soil moisture that helps them decide when to plant. The water temperature data may be intricate enough to show where juvenile or adult populations of a specific species would be at a given time.
Hoey equates it to a painting by artist Claude Monet.
"Up close its millions of tiny little dots. Move back, and it's a woman in a park," Hoey said.
In the past such information came from trawling surveys NOAA does in the spring and fall, but this did not supply information at other times of the year and only covered the areas where trawling was done.
The new system also allows immediate electronic reporting of catches. This replaces a system where captains filled out paper logbooks and submitted them to NOAA. Sometimes a quota for a fishery was exceeded before all the logs were turned in since there was a four- to six-week lag time to process the paperwork. The new system gets the data to NOAA within four hours of fish being caught.
"This allows us to stay within quotas and avoid overages. It helps us minimize by-catch we're trying to avoid," said Jeff Kaelin, who handles government relations for Lund's Fisheries.
The path of the net is tracked by GPS while temperature sensors are on the large metal doors that spread the mouth of the net open. The GPS data comes at 30-second intervals so it shows when trawling is done and when a captain is steaming at a higher rate of speed to another fishing spot. Data goes to the NFSC, but captains were supplied with laptop computers, funded by the federal government, to access the data. Hoey noted the computer software was designed by fishermen.
Hoey said the data will lead to other applications.
"Stock assessments are all limited by data. It opens up a lot of more sophisticated ways to improve stock assessments," Hoey said.
Kaelin said the data also shows when the net is in the water column or on the ocean floor. This can be used for such efforts as the one to protect corals that live in the deep waters off New Jersey.

Proposed Canon
Haggar is a Royal side eastward of Jetstone. It is currently preparing to pop a new royal warlord. Its relationship with Jetstone has traditionally been troublesome. They originally hoped to exploit Jetstone's troubles by annexing one or more of its cities. However, Chief Warlord Ossomer succeeded in intimidating Haggar to the point where they agreed to join the Royal Crown Coalition against Gobwin Knob. Haggar's leaders secretly planned to betray this alliance at a time most beneficial to themselves. However, Prince Sammy had begun to wonder if perhaps Jetstone is indeed right about the threat posed by Gobwin Knob. Either way, his hand was forced by Charlie, who informed Sammy that he had set up an ambush around the City of Haggar and threatened to sack it if Haggar didn't immediately attack Gobwin Knob's forces. Prince Sammy was croaked in the subsequent battle.

Real World References
Haggar seems to refer to the clothing company by the same name.
Prince Sammy Haggar is based on the performer Sammy Hagar.
The Haggar emblem is the logo for Cabo Wabo tequila, which is owned by Sammy Hagar. "Wabo" is one of the war cries of Sammy's squad.
Haggar may also refer to the comic strip (and titular character) Hagar the Horrible.
Haggar was the name of an enemy witch in the cartoon Voltron, though there are no obvious references to this so far.
Likewise, Haggar is the name of a Capcom character who was a professional wrestler and mayor (and which, merely incidentally, favored pants as his only clothing), but there is no clear reference.
Haggar, Toughskin, Oshkosh and Sansabelt are all names of clothing lines, with an emphasis on pants.

'A Cop's Cop' Memorial Honors Old-School Officer Who Knew, Helped People On His Beat
Thu., May 18, 1995
Officer Ken L. Davis, who was killed by a hit-and-run driver, was an old-school cop who knew and cared about the people on his beat, his boss said Tuesday during funeral services.
"He was a cop's cop," Police Chief Norman Stamper told more than 1,000 police officers, family members, friends and others who gathered at Calvary Temple to pay last respects to Davis.
"He has been taken from us suddenly and senselessly. … His life was stolen in an act that was selfish and cruel," Stamper said.
According to Stamper, Davis had a saying he liked: "If you don't want to run with the big dogs, stay up on the porch."
"He ran with the big dogs his entire career," Stamper said.
The chief said the 52-year-old Davis, who joined the force in 1966 after growing up in Seattle, would be remembered for his unflagging sense of humor, his unorthodox approach to golf and his search for the perfect steak - big, thick and raw.
But mostly, Stamper said, the husband and father of two sons would be remembered for the times he tried to help people.
An original member of the police department's drunken-driving unit, Davis made more than 2,000 DWI arrests but tried to help offenders as much as ticket them, Stamper said.
"People would say 'thank you for the ticket, Mr. Davis,"' Stamper said. "He felt the need to take half of them home."
Davis died May 11 when his car was struck by a sports car driven by a man fleeing a state trooper. The driver, Robert Duane Knowles, 28, was arrested and charged with second-degree murder, reckless driving and driving under suspension. Bail was set at $1 million.
Davis went to Lincoln High School, where he played on a state championship basketball team and graduated in 1960. He attended Central Washington University and the University of Washington.
Davis had spent the past 12 years in the North Precinct and was going to retire in five years, his wife, Lereen, said.
