Higgins knuckles down to the grind of fame game
Those with a generous spirit would ascribe Higgins' words as a helpful hint or maybe a gentle nudge towards the toughness required to survive at snooker's top table. John Higgins will have none of it. "I thought he would come up and say 'bad luck, you played well'. He was one of my heroes, someone I looked up to, and he was slagging me off. I think he was wary because another Higgins was coming along."
Higgins, 21, has long since moved out of Alex's controversial shadow. Indeed, with Peter Ebdon already history he represents the most likely player to wrench the World Championship from Stephen Hendry's grasp. Last night, he was facing the world No 113, Graham Horne, after which Tony Drago and either Ken Doherty or Steve Davis are likely to provide the opposition.
It is a path to the semi-finals that is well within the world No 2's compass and yet the expectation placed on his head is less than it has been for two years. In 1995 and 1996 he arrived as Hendry's great danger, but lost to Alan McManus (10-3) and Ronnie O'Sullivan (13-12). The pressure is on others.
"I've left Sheffield twice feeling deeply disappointed and I don't think people expect me to win it now," he said. "The first time I just sat there watching Alan thinking all the things a fan does. You know 'this is where my heroes have played', or 'isn't the Crucible small'. My mind wasn't on the job at all.
"Last year I lost a a bad match to Ronnie. I was 10-6 ahead and you shouldn't lose to anyone from that position. It hurt me a lot. The way I was playing I really thought I was going to win the title."
The 1996-97 season has been a strange one for Higgins. He says his snooker is far short of the mark he knows he can achieve and yet he won the European Open in Malta in March and has earned more than pounds 220,000 in prize-money. This on top of changing his cue at the turn of the year.
Golfers might be fickle with their clubs, but snooker players regard the tool of their trade as an extension of their arms and change them with great reluctance. Higgins had owned his since he was a child, but years of adding bits and replacing the tips had taken their toll and eventually the wrench had to be made. On the cue's first outing, Hendry was beaten.
It was not the only change. "When you are losing first- round matches it hurts a lot," he said. "You dismiss it as everyone goes through a bad patch, but I felt that something was wrong. Changing the cue is probably one of the best things I've done. I was experimenting too much, having bits chopped off or added on. It was silly. At the end of the day I wasn't putting in the length and quality of practice I should've been doing.
"I was enjoying myself too much, going out at most weekends having a laugh, which, as a professional sportsman in the middle of a season, you can't afford to do. You need to be a different person, a different breed to become No 1. You need tunnel vision, stay in every night, practise all the time."
Hendry, of course, is his exemplar. "Stephen's had a baby and that has changed him a little, but before that his life was snooker, snooker, snooker. If I've been out the night before I'd wake up next morning thinking maybe I can't be bothered going to the snooker hall. That's maybe the difference between me and him. He'd be at the club on a Sunday morning.
"If I'm going to beat Stephen I'll have to work as hard. You have a few years after snooker when I can enjoy myself. I have to put that on the back burner."
Since January, Higgins has put in the hours on the practice table and if his first-round defeat at the British Open three weeks ago was not encouraging, it might be attributed to the emphasis he places on the World Championship. He knows, he says, that his best form would put Hendry within his range.
"Stephen did not play that well last year and he still won," he said. "Which shows he's head and shoulders ahead of us. I had the privilege of practising with him every day when I was younger and I know just how good he is. We're friends off the table, enemies on it."
As for Alex Higgins, the word "friend" seems unlikely to ever apply. "I expect he would rather be in my position now," he said with a snort. If he wins the World Championship on 5 May you can safely assume John Higgins is right.

A clearly divided line has been drawn in the Colonial League football sand.
Bangor and Catasauqua are the last remaining unbeatens at 5-0. They have been dominant to this point, combining to outscore their opponents 343-51.
That's ridiculous!
There is starting to be some division among the rest of the teams, as well.
Pen Argyl and Northern Lehigh, the last two regular-season and District 11 Class 2A champions, are next in line. Each has one loss. Each still has a chance to be at the top come Week 10.
Palisades, under first-year coach Kevin Ronalds (at left) and Southern Lehigh are the picks right now out of the South Division, which finished crossover play this season with a 7-18 record against the North. But don't sleep on Notre Dame.
Week 6 schedule:
Bangor at Catasauqua
Pen Argyl at Northern Lehigh
Northwestern at Palmerton
Southern Lehigh at Notre Dame-GP
Salisbury at Sauco Valley
Palisades at Wilson (Saturday at 2:30 p.m.)
Here are the Colonial League rankings entering Week 6:
- Catasauqua (5-0): The Rough Riders have five mercy-rule victories on their resume. They also have some injury issues to deal with in preparation for Friday's showdown with visiting Bangor. Stay tuned to the Varsity blog for updates on those situations.
- Bangor (5-0): Frankly, the Slaters have surprised me. They have not be spectacular offensively, but they have one of the league's brightest stars in Phil Vass. Defensively, they have been very good.
- Pen Argyl (4-1): The Green Knights' defense has been a little shaky the last two weeks. They've allowed a combined 50 points to Wilson and Southern Lehigh. They'll need to get things straightened out before heading to Slatington on Friday night.
- Northern Lehigh (4-1): The Bulldogs have been inconsistent so far. Not surprising, considering the changes in many positions to start the season.
- Palisades (3-2): The Pirates have fixed things the last two weeks and got QB Kyle Jesiolowski back after missing the previous three games because of a disciplinary issue.
- Southern Lehigh (2-3): The real Spartans, the ones everyone saw look good in preseason, are here. They appear to be in good shape to earn a District 11 Class 3A playoff berth. But that always is subject to change.
- Notre Dame-GP (2-3): Another team that appears to have found itself. The Crusaders' defense is solid. If the offense's performance develops the same consistency, they will be a real playoff contender.
- Saucon Valley (1-4): The Panthers look strong in spurts, but then make mistakes to put themselves in a hole. Their effort has been the most consistent part, according to coach Matt Evancho.
- Wilson (1-4): The Warriors can compete with anyone offensively when they are right. Their defense has been inconsistent, too.
- Northwestern (2-3): The Tigers will be ranked higher next season when most of their players start shaving. They are playing hard right now for first-year coach Josh Snyder. That won't change down the stretch.
- Salisbury (1-4): The Falcons' struggles offensively have kept them from being in the hunt for more wins.
- Palmerton (0-5): Youthful Blue Bombers have similar issues to the Falcons.
TOM HOUSENICK watches every move Lehigh's C.J. McCollum makes on the court, laughs at every joke by Lafayette coach Fran O'Hanlon and watches all the Divisions II and III coaches and players do it for the love of the game.

US speedskater Gunther makes Olympics in comeback - 0 Comments
KEARNS, Utah — Kelly Gunther is reminded daily of the time when she couldn't put on skates and go fast on the ice. The speedskater needs to have her left ankle worked on for 15 minutes before she can slip her foot into her clap skate.
The necessary massage and stretching is the result of a devastating crash that sidelined Gunther in March 2010, a couple of months after she didn't make the U.S. Olympic team.
The compound fracture of her left ankle required six months of recovery that often left Gunther doubting her future on the ice.

Sarpanch, 6 others had no role in case: Police

Amritsar (Rural) SSP Preetpaul Singh Virk on Wednesday said Nangal Wanjha Wala Sarpanch Amarjit Singh, an accused in the Gurpreet murder case, had no role in the incident and had been falsely named by the victim's mother in her complaint.
While announcing the arrest of an accused in the case, Amritpal Singh, Virk on Wednesday said the police have already arrested one Swaran Singh and were conducting raids to arrest two other accused Ninder Singh and Pargat Singh.
"As per preliminary investigations, seven persons named in the case had no role in the murder," he added. The case was initially registered against 11 people, including Amarjit Singh.
Virk also claimed that the police did not know whether Amarjit Singh was indeed a SAD leader.
Sukhraj Kaur, mother of Gurpreet Singh of Nangal Wahian village who died on Monday after being allegedly beaten up by 11 people, including Amarjit Singh had alleged that Gurpreet was kidnapped from her house on December 8. By the time her relatives went to rescue Gurpreet, he had already been brutally beaten. Sarpanch Amarjit Singh also allegedly fired a couple of shots from a 32 bore gun to scare Sukhraj and her relatives.
A case against 11 people, including Amarjit Singh, was registered after Gurpreet succumbed at a hospital in Ajnala on December 9.
"The complainant had falsely named seven other persons, including Amarjit Singh. During preliminary investigations, it has emerged that they had no role in the case. Also, Amarjit Singh did not open fire as had been alleged," said Virk.
Gurpreet's mother had claimed that he was beaten up as it was suspected that he was having an "illicit relationship" with the sister-in-law of an accused. "The allegation of kidnapping was also found to be false, as Gurpreet Singh had scaled the wall of house of woman in question, following which, he was beaten up," said Virk.

But, as I type this, I'm thinking that the pre-season games are quickly approaching... this Sunday, in fact! Ooo rah! Of course these games a TOTALLY meaningless, and as the Cubs drop games, especially those infamous split-squad games, I quickly rationalize by reminding myself that these games are TOTALLY meaningless... On the other hand, if they are doing "well," it's definitely uplifting. I always look at those meaningless exhibtion standings and look at how their record compares to the White SUX and that hopefully also buoys my spirits, as well.
Counting down the days until the regular season starts. That is usually a little anticlimatic, though, especially because I'm usually on vacation that first week of April (spring break for the kids, you know), and typcially I have a hard time getting updates, as we are usually very busy and sometimes are out of communication range. (cruises, Disney World with NO cell phone service inside most attractions) This year, I have a feeling that it will be even more frustrating as we will be in Spain.
I am still getting anxious though... let's get this season going!!!!!!

Little did we know that would prove the high point of the season...I remember last year when DJ LeMahieu hit a walk-off home-run. It was an awesome moment and one my favorite highlights of Spring Training, even though I knew that one home run wasn't going to be season-changing for the Cubs or career-changing for LeMahieu. I don't see any thing wrong with getting excited about Spring Training games. You get to see a lot of different players and get to see match-ups against teams and players that the Cubs don't see much of during the regular season. The little moments in Spring Training are as much fun to me as anything we see the rest of the year.
(I kid. Mostly.)

Usually I go for games that aren't in huge demand so I can get them (but have been to one Cubs/Cards series which was fun). This year I'm scrapping that and going for the friday and Saturday BoSox games (along with A TON of other people) plus the Tiger series beforehand. Yeah I know I probably could get tickets for the Tiger series cheaper if i were to buy through the secondary market closer to the game. But it's nice to have tickets in hand if you're traveling 5 hrs.
Looking at Stub Hub even the BoSox games aren't ridicilous right now.

People Names Adam Levine "Sexiest Man Alive," 5 Days After Gossip Cop Scooped It!
9:17 pm, November 19th, 2013
As Gossip Cop exclusively reported five days ago, Adam Levine has been named the 2013 "Sexiest Man Alive" by People magazine.
The new issue was revealed on "The Voice" during Tuesday's results show.
"As a musician, you have fantasies that you want to win Grammys, but I didn't really think that this was on the table," the singer tells the magazine.
He adds, "I was just amazed and stunned and it almost seemed like they were kidding, but they weren't, so that's cool."
With his career reaching new heights, Levine admits, "This is just a really interesting time where everything seems to be heading in a certain direction. And I'm not taking any of it for granted."
One big plan still on the agenda?
Becoming one of the sexiest husbands alive when he walks down the aisle with fiancée Behati Prinsloo.
"I didn't think marriage was for me for a long time," says Levine. "I was ready when I was ready. That's about as simple as it could possibly be."
Last week, when asked on the "Today Show" about being tapped the "Sexiest Man Alive," Levine avoided commenting on Gossip Cop's scoop.
The Maroon 5 front man follows in the sexy footsteps of 2012 winner Channing Tatum, 2011′s Bradley Cooper, and 2010′s Ryan Reynolds.
Check out video of Levine's reaction to the unveiling below.

HOUSTON -- A 19-year-old New York woman arriving in Houston on a flight from Jamaica has been arrested after a drug dog alerted authorities to narcotics in two pairs of shoes in her luggage. Tests showed the narcotics to be 3 pounds of cocaine.
Brielle Latoi Orridge of the Bronx, N.Y., is awaiting a federal court appearance on charges of conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine.
Orridge arrived Sunday at Houston's Bush Intercontinental Airport on a Continental Airlines flight from Montego Bay, Jamaica. Federal authorities say she was en route to New York City.
Conviction on the charge could get her up to 40 years in prison.

How to transition from solo or couple traveling to family travel? http://t.co/uJx5ZshLEB
To my dear reader(s)
My name is Heather and I am a deliquent blogger
I've been sulking and hiding from my cyberspace for a few months
I've had writers block coupled with creeping levels of self doubt
My inner Debbie Downer and Wendy Whiner have hijacked my creative juices
I tell myself no one's going to care that I've disappeared but the truth is that
I care
I loved sharing our story and the adventures continue without documentation
that doesn't feel good
so I am going to make it right
and listen to my Groovy inner Girlfriends instead of those self doubting Mean Girls
that feels better
I can almost look you in the eye now
I think I blog before I do other things that are likely a little more important
Do not be ashamed! These pictures are adorable, btw -
And I meant to add, I think this happens to just about every blogger out there – peaks and valleys – try not to fret, just keep on going… *hugs you*
Just do it, lady…
That's ok my friend. Welcome to mommy hood and return to work! I love reading your posts and definitely missed you…your wonderful outlook on life and sense of humor are uplifting! Glad you're back & big hugs to that handsome little boy of yours!

A ride straight out of the fantasy world that is exactly what this steampunk scooter by Arthur van Poppel looks like. Loaded with instruments like guitar, amp, horn section and more; this steampunk scooter has that golden look. Furthermore the decorations including pressure valves and other gauges add to its look that is unique and definitely attracts attention. This is just one of the creations of this artist who makes them and takes them to the streets for performance. The most interesting bit of this steampunk scooter is that there is a freaky looking see through guitar which has a microphone attached to it so that Arthur can sing along as he plays the guitar when the scooter is parked.
Other music machines that Arthur has made are also eye-pooping including a steampunk submarine called Nautilus, a three wheeled car that actually looks like F-35 Jet plane and some strange musical performance machine straight out of Harry Potter's era.

Looking for critiques of my store. (self.ecommerce)
submitted 2 months ago by charlls
Hey guys, I'm looking for some input on my e-commerce site to make some improvements in conversion rate.
Any glaring or obvious best practices that I may be missing? Is there any information that isn't easy to access?
[–]qverb3dcart 5 points6 points7 points 2 months ago*
Ill try to give my 2c, as the best constructive advice I can, based solely on my first impression of what I am seeing as a prospective customer.
The homepage seems at first glance rather boring. I think that it is the generic fonts used. The simplicity of the logo seems fine, but the rest not so much to me. Also, the page in full view requires quite a bit of eye movement; it is really spread out across the screen. You might test with a more narrow store width and check your results.
I would highly recommend a search box on the home page. Analytics on my sites suggest this is very important; it gets a good percentage of clicks right off the bat. Even with good navigation, people want to search for exactly what they are looking for a good deal of the time. They may browse, but you don't want to force them to browse.
Unless you are only allowing anonymous checkout, have an account login link on the first page as well. Customers want to check order status, or check order history, and I see no way to do that here. It also increases customer loyalty.
Have some sort of security notice on the homepage, such as your SSL information. If customers don't think your site is secure, they will be very reluctant to shop with you.
When I click into the 'Candles' section, your left side image takes some time to load. Google will penalize you for that. Consider optimizing. It also distracts from the side navigation to my eyes, but that is simply my taste.
I like that the pictures I am seeing have a quarter or phone in them for scale, but consider a banana instead (reddit inside joke).
Showing stock can be a double-edge sword. If I see '20 in stock' and I need 44, then I am moving on. Not showing stock on the main page gives you the chance to offer a similar product if you are out, or the option to backorder.
Your site does not indicate that it is secure in any way upon checkout. I went all the way up to putting in my payment information without seeing that it was in any way a secure transaction. I see 'Full PCI-DSS Compliance' at the bottom, but no certificate or reassurance of this. This will absolutely lead to abandoned carts.
Consider promoting some sort of shipping discount. Free over $150, free across the board, etc. It is the biggest factor in any ecommerce study for conversions.
Your 'Contact Us' page says nothing about you. I would be suspect to order from you without a physical address and some basic information about your business. Also, an online chat help feature would do much to help with customer confidence.
Your newsletter signup is way down in the footer section. Consider making it more up front for increased signups.
This is just my input. For reference, here is my main site. The regular weekly conversion rate is between 8.5 and 10% - very high for an ecommerce site, but we work very hard for a repeat customer base and we get it. Average time on site is around 9 minutes.
I like your site. Don't take this as site bashing at all. We want everyone in this sub to succeed, and I offer these suggestions purely as my own opinions based on my own experience. You have a great start here!
EDIT - I went further into checkout and it finally did take me to a secure server, but you do not have an SSL for this domain name it appears (you are redirected through another domain for secure checkout). This will lead to many abandoned carts right here. SSL certs are cheap. You will likely see an immediate increase in conversions once you can keep customers on the same domain throughout the checkout.
[–]shabayek 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
I love the design of your online store. One point I wanted to discuss with you though, regarding the Newsletter and moving it away from the footer. Did you test this yourself? Does it hold for all online stores or only the ones with enough traffic and repeat clients? I tried it but with few new stores and it did not make any difference. Thanks.
[–]qverb3dcart 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago*
Thank you for the compliment, greatly appreciated. What I can tell you about the newsletter signup is only what has worked for us, so take that for what you will.
We run several sites. Two of our sites sell somewhat similar products. They both have comparable analytics - similar hits, conversion rates, return visits, time on sites, pages viewed, etc. Close enough that it makes for great testing of things like this.
Both of these sites generate about 1000 hits per day (more or less). The homepages of both of these sites are functionally the same (navigation in same area, same number of featured products, same size and type of header images, etc). One key difference is the newsletter signup - site 1 has it on the top in the right hand column, the other has the signup in the footer. All things being nearly equal, site 1 has about 3 times the signups as site 2. Even then it is not a lot of signups, site 1 will get anywhere from 5-10 a day, site 2 from 1-3 a day. Not much indeed, but over the course of a month or year, it is quite a few potential repeat customers to add to your list.
Again, this is only what worked for us. I have also heard numerous speakers at the last IRWD show say the same thing - make your newsletter signup prominent on your home page. Hope this helps, and thank you again for your kind words.
EDIT - I would also add that both of these sites offer single-page checkout and do not require registration, but they do require an email address (for order confirmation emails to send to). Right underneath the email address box is a checkbox to be added to mailing list as well - this is another excellent chance to pick up a few signups!
[–]charlls[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
Thank you so much for this detailed, thoughtful, and insightful feedback.
[–]Phexina 0 points1 point2 points 2 months ago
I recently updated my site and followed a bunch of the advice in these videos: http://www.smartmarketer.com/conversion-course-part-1/ and the time on site has increased and the conversion rate has gone up a bit. He makes a lot of good suggestions.
[–]EcomOuttakes 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
Hi there,
Appearance wise the site is ok, but needs to be narrowed down a bit. Everything is too spread out, so try to make the site smaller to make it easier to read. Also, add a search field on the home page!
[–]Clemson4Wheel 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago
A quick glance. Increase the product photo size near the bottom of the home page. You have gray text on a gray background. Make the text black or something. Also on the home page product layout. You keep a pretty wide 3 column layout and once you get to the products the column widths shrink to half the page size. Spread these columns out to accommodate larger product photos etc.

Amanda Kurowski has been denied the right to receive homeschooling from her mother in the state of New Hampshire. Why? According to the District Court in New Hampshire, Amanda has received too much religious education from her mother. The District Judge has taken Amanda away from her mother and mandated that she must attend a public school to "shake up" her Christian faith. Should Judges have this much authority? On today's program, Dr. Mohler notes the dangers and far reaching implications of this court's decision to have the State raise and educate Amanda Kurowski.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The finance ministry expects a decision on setting up a National Investment Board - a body to approve and speed up stalled infrastructure projects such as roads, ports and airports - would be taken in the next 2-3 weeks, a senior ministry official said on Thursday.
A decision could be taken in the next two-three weeks, Arvind Mayaram, economic affairs secretary in the ministry of finance, told reporters on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum meeting on the outskirts of Delhi. (Reporting by Rajesh Kumar Singh)

World's first Sri Chaitanya museum to be ready in 42 months
Kolkata, Sep 16 : Work on the world's first museum devoted to Hindu saint Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, foundation of which was laid here by President Pranab Mukherjee Monday, will begin next month and be completed in three and a half years, the Gaudiya Mission said.
The four-storeyed museum building with a floor space of 1,320 square metres, is coming up on a 15-acre plot set aside by the mission at Baghbazar in north Kolkata.
"A budget of Rs.10 crore-12 crore has been set aside for the project. World will begin next month and be completed in three and a half years," said a Mission official.
"We feel this is a befitting tribute to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu on the occasion of his 525th birth anniversary. This is the world's first museum on the saint with modern communication methods, and it will collect, preserve and disseminate archival literature of the Sri Chaitanya cult," said Mission president Bhakti Surhid Prabrajika Goswami Maharaj.
The activities of the museum will include educating the public on the teachings of Sri Chaitanya aimed at developing a value-based and peaceful society.
"We also aim to disseminate knowledge through rare litertures, music, danc and art forms to sudnets, researchers and scholars," said Goswami Maharaj.
Planned and designed by former National Council of Science Museums director general Saroj Ghosh and renwoened architect Gopal Mitra, the museum will be in three sections exhibiting the saint's personal memorabilia, collections, artefacts, manuscripts, rare books and pictures.
"The museum has been designed on the model of the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum on New York's Fifth Avenue, which was conceived a temple of spirit," said Mitra, one of the planners of New York's Twin Towers.
The museum will also showcase establishments centred around Sri Chaitanya.
Besides, it will have an auditorium,an archive, premises for library, research centre, space theate - accommodating up to 50 people - as well as a cafeteria.
There will be guided tours, special training programmes for students on debates, painting, music, dance, and lectures on the saint and his philosophy.
It will offer short courses on Sanskrit, and hold regular cultural programmes. There will be a strong focus on Vedic cosmology.
"A manuscript-based digital archive, comprising unique artefacts and manuscripts, a restoration laboratory for preserving the manuscripts and a cyber-library will be among the salient features," said the Mission president.
The Gaudiya Misssion, a spiritual and philanthropic organisation founded in March, 940, propagates the teachings of Sri Chaitanya and the Vaishnava faith. It has a number of centres in India, and temples in London and New York.

Susanna è un host accogliente e disponibile! La sua casa è perfetta, comoda e pulita. Era la prima volta che utilizzavo airbnb e sono stata veramente fortunata! Grazie!
Susanna was a great host. The apartment was super clean and Susanna was kind and considerate. I had food poisoning and was throwing up the first night and she still let us stay two more nights.
Susanna was a wonderful host, very friendly, open and welcoming. We had a fabulous stay at her lovely apartment that thankfully was well located but not full of tourists, as Rome can be. There is a wonderful fruit and veg market nearby.
Susanna was helpful with suggestions of things to do and see around Rome. I highly recommend a stay at Susanna's apartment. We take many great memories with us. Also, I highly recommend La Romana Gelateria on Via XX Settembre, a close walk from the apartment. The best gelato I have had...and I've many all over Italy.
We had a great week at Susannetta's place. It's in a great location with coffee shops, restaurants and little eateries within a 2-5 minute walk from the front door. It's just outside the city, so a little quieter which we really enjoyed, and it's near the corner all the buses going to the city and central train station stop at. It's also only a block from the subway which goes outside the city as well.
The apartment is great too. Very clean, access to great wifi, fully stocked kitchen with our own food cupboard. Susanna was very helpful giving us directions and offered to organise day trips on our behalf. We would definitely stay again, super comfy bed in a secure building with a little lift! What more could you want.
An absolutely amazing introduction to Rome. Susanna was so warm and welcoming and passionate about her city. The room was perfect; large, clean, cute and in a great location. I would stay here again any day! I also did the bike tour with her and loved every second. Thank you for your brilliant hospitality Susanna!

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas: "The world needs more NOH8. NOH8 speaks about love, tolerance and respect for human dignity. I'm delighted, not to have to be here because people are treated differently, but I'm delighted to be here to be a part of the world humanity who stands in the majority against hate. And the recognition that the LGBT community deserves all the human dignity of every other person in this wonderful family called the world."
Rep. Sam Farr of California: "I'm Congressman Sam Farr, a Democrat representing California's Central Coast. I'm very excited about this campaign because it's sad that a vocal minority has been able to deny a group of citizens their rights. We've got to fight for justice for everyone in this country."
Rep. Raúl Grijalva of Arizona: "We've seen too much policy driven by hate in this country. Laws made by hate never expand liberties or protect rights. This NOH8 Campaign is about the fact that civil rights and basic liberty extend to all human beings in our nation regardless of any factor in their life, including who they love. This is why this campaign's important."
Rep. Rush D. Holt of New Jersey: "The NOH8 Campaign is great because you've taken it beyond just opposition to some legislation to a much more positive and inclusive message that should appeal to everyone."

In a recent episode of 'Keeping Up With The Kardashians', Khloe Kardashian joked about her sister Kim, after the latter's boobs started to lactate on their own.
Khloe told the 33-year-old reality TV star that her boob was leaking out of control, as a large wet patch appeared on her top, the Daily Star reported.
Khloe, who was earlier married to basketball player Lamar Odom, told her sister that her boobs were leaking like a water fountain and Kim accepted the incident as a natural occurrence of motherhood.
Their brother Rob Kardashian is seen rushing out of the room repeating that the incident is weird for him, while Kim is seen readjusting her bra and stuffing a tissue inside the cups to stop the leakage. (ANI)
