The Azurian exploration guild stood proudly in the northeastern corner of the town called Azuria, the members inside awaiting the new arrivals with a mixture of anticipation and apprehension. Two Gallades stood on opposite sides of the guild's front gates, acting as guards. The townspeople themselves were fairly on-guard for hostile activity, as the guild members tended to have plenty of quarrels with the townsfolk themselves. And Sycamore stood pacing his office, waiting with bated breath for the newcomers to arrive...
Your Game, Your Moves
This RP implements a mechanic I call "decision-based alterations". In essence, this means that no single deed goes unnoticed. Your characters will not merely be pawns, railroaded into doing whatever the GM chooses. Their decisions and actions will have an effect on the gameplay, and can potentially shift the plot into a wildly different different direction. Even the most drastic of potential actions will be countered with an adaptation in the gameplay. After all, you, being a participant, are just as much a part of the RP as the GM.
That being said, however, don't abuse the mechanic or get out of hand with the plot derailing. This mechanic is one that requires cooperation between the participants involved, and pulling zany stunts that completely change everything out of absolutely nowhere with reckless abandon tend to leave everyone utterly confused and disoriented.
The Reqiuem Forest
The infamous Reqiuem Forest is a truly massive place. Pretty much all of your expeditions are going to be either into the forest itself, or into one of the many dungeons that are scattered throughout. These dungeons include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:
The Great Cyprus
A gigantic tree that towers over the rest of the forest. The tree is thousands of years old at the very least, and is rumored to have been standing since the beginning of time itself. The tree has been hollowed out by natural forces, and thus makes for a long climb upwards to reach the top of the tree.
Lagoon of the Lost
A lake that has claimed the lives of many an unwary adventurer with its deceptively low depths and dangerous inhabitants. The spirits of those who die here are said to forever wander the pitch-black surface of the lagoon.
The Fissure
What is less a cavern and more of a gigantic crack in the ground, the Fissure is an incredibly precarious environment, the descent littered with narrow cliffs, potential avalanches, and the risk of magma as one descends into the bowels of the earth. A great monster was said to have been born underground, and the Fissure was where it broke free and reached the surface.
Ethereal Plains
A wide expanse of grassland, with an almost unnatural lack of trees in the area. Various restless spirits wander these grounds, and while some might be friendly, most don't tend to take too kindly to the living.
This list will be updated with more locations and information as the RP progresses.
People You Should Know
The Azuria Guild
Sycamore the Shiftry
His methods might be a bit unscrupulous, his mannerisms might be particularly gruff, and there are even rumors that he was booted out of another rescue guild and was placed at the Azurian outpost so he wouldn't cause any more trouble...but, nevertheless, Sycamore has earned himself a reputation of being one of the most efficient expedition leaders out there. He generally isn't too harsh on his members, so long as they don't get into trouble. Sycamore also tends to be a bit of a recluse, preferring to let his advisor do most of the talking for him.
Rockhopper the Empoleon
Sycamore's advisor and generally the voice of calm, methodical reason. He tends to be a bit more welcoming than his boss, though you still don't want to get this guy ticked off. Rockhopper is usually the one who's tasked with introducing the newcomers to the guild, keeping track of daily activity, and for all intents and purposes being the administrative face that Sycamore would avoid being.
Daggur the Weavile
A traveling black market salesman, the Azuria guild has established relations with Daggur and his associates. While he tends to be rather shady, even by Sycamore's standards, there's no doubt that he gets his job done well. He will make deals with individual members of the guild, but be warned; he drives a very, VERY hard bargain.
Komodo the Tyranitar
The main security force for the Azuria guild, and really, the only one it even needs. Komodo lives for Sycamore, and is essentially a walking, occasionally talking weapon. He does what he's told both out of respect for his leader and because, quite frankly, he really likes his job.
There are also various other, more minor characters, who will be introduced whenever they are met by one of the players.
Azurian Townsfolk
Mayor Shazaam, the Alakazam
The sole political power behind the small and fairly decrepit town of Azuria, Shazaam manages to maintain his position through not only savvy and cleverness, but by genuine compassion towards his people. He does, however, harbor the slightest bit of resentment towards the Azuria Guild, and tends to be cautious in their presence.
Deux the Ambipom
The more respectable counterpart to Daggur's more sinister deals, Deux runs the Azurian market, and makes his best effort into procuring legitimate sales. He also utterly despises both Daggur and the kinds of buying and selling he makes. Deux will usually buy and sell goods for more stable prices, but there are things that even he can't get any of his four hands on.
Bruce the Machamp
Probably the greatest reason why Azuria hasn't fallen into bits, Bruce makes certain that any stray enemies from the Forest are kept as far away from civilians as possible. Bruce and Shazaam have a long history together, which is part of why Bruce is so devoted to the town.
Just like the Guild, there will be minor NPCs mulling around the town that the players can control.
- No godmodding. This includes hijacking control of others's characters, autohitting, or in the particular case of this RP, making incredibly drastic actions that would throw the plot horribly out of balance.
- As far as what's considered "drastic actions"...killing important NPCs is a definite no-no unless something plot-related merits killing them. Bringing in new characters without at the very least checking with me first is also not permitted. Also, your character can't decide to just quit and fly off, or whatever...unless, of course, you yourself actually have to quit, in which case I'll work something out so your character can disappear in a manner that still makes sense to the plot.
- Speaking of having to quit, if at any time you are going to take a hiatus, please inform me beforehand. However, keep in mind that, even if you do go on a break that you checked with me first, if you don't end up replying in the RP in three week's time, then for the sake of the RP not crawling due to the lack of a single character, I'll have to boot you. In addition, unexcused inactivity will only be allowed for a maximum of one week before you are booted. Due to the nature of this RP, I can't afford to have inactive players clogging up the progress.
- Feel free to incorporate story elements or sub-plots that involve other users. The more interaction the players have, the better. However, make sure and check with the other involved player(s) first. Also, if you're not sure if a certain sub-plot would be appropriate, check with me about it.
- Relating to that, I myself may end up having a few plot elements that require the participation of another given player. If anything like that happens, I'll PM the preferred player of my choosing and see if they're open to the idea.
- While I encourage sub-plots and such, try not to make them become the main focus of the RP.

Disclaimer: Maps are not necessarily to scale.
The Town of Azuria
Town Gates: The only way in and out of Azuria, aside from the back entrance situated right behind the guild. Guards can be seen patrolling the area almost 24/7, on the lookout for any intruders.
Azurian Plaza: A central plaza of the town, this stone platform situated above the intersecting rivers connects the three sections of the town.
Town Market: A place where various Pokemon, the most prominent of which being Deux, sell and buy various wares.
Town Hall: The administrative base of the town, this is where Shazaam can be seen most of the time.
The Azurian Guild
1st Floor
Stage: The location where public speeches and/or announcements are held.
Guildmaster's Quarters: The location where Sycamore spends the majority of his time. Usually, one doesn't go in here unless summoned to speak with the guildmaster directly.
Meeting Room: In the event that a private discussion is necessary, be it between guild members or between representatives from Azuria proper, this is the place in which those discussions are held.
Basement First Floor
Daggur's Store: The location in which Daggur occasionally drops by and sells his wares.
Message Board: Be it information pertaining to recent expeditions, calls for assistance in regards to a certain exploration, or perhaps a warning or two, this board holds a motley of information.
Indoor Training Area: As the name would suggest, this is the place in which guild members can train, spar with one another, and also tends to be a fairly popular location for duels.
Dormitories will be labeled with their occupants whenever they are claimed. There are usually two to a dorm, although due to the uneven number of characters, there might be a few rooms that only have one occupant.
As he walked through the town towards the gates of the Azurian guild, Falchion emitted an almost dangerous presence. His appearance on its own was enough to intimidate a few, but as he walked, he brushed his claws across a stone he had found back near the town gates. This produced a sharp scraping sound that definitely was not pleasant on the ears. Any individuals who tried to strike up a conversation with him were answered with a menacing glare that quickly shut them up. Of course, the nature of these behaviors mattered little to him. Falchion was almost obsessive about keeping his blades sharpened at all times, due to ambush, in his eyes, being a constant and dangerous threat.
Once he reached the gates of the guild, one of the Gallades spoke to him in a sharp, curt voice. "Stand still."
Falchion did not appreciate being ordered, but nevertheless, he complied. The Pokemon walked over to him, and lightly touched his forehead with his palm, closing his eyes in concentration. Falchion felt an odd feeling in his head that he couldn't quite describe, but then he managed to piece things together. This guard must have been reading his mind for identification purposes. Well, it was certainly more convenient than plain old interrogation.
Once the guard was finished, he stepped back and spoke once again. "Enter. Stay in the entrance hall for the initiation."
And with a signal from the other Gallade, the gates opened, opening the door into the guild hall proper. Once Falchion entered, he was greeted by a rather expansive, open room, with various guild Pokemon roaming around doing various things. Hear the back of the room was a ladder that led underground, presumably to a lower level of the guild.
((For your introduction, just have your character(s) appear at the gates and go through the inspection process. The guards are considered NPCs, and can be controlled by the players however necessary. Alright, let's get this show on the road!))

A mystery of faith, fear, legend and human frailty. A monumental moment in history is revisited from a fresh though somewhat bizarre perspective. As faith meets fantasy and the two become hopelessly enmeshed, the search for an answer only uncovers more devilish questions
Where is book two? HURRY!
When will the rest of the story be ready? is it possible to read the rest here or will the book be published?
This is my kind of story. Fast moving with lots of mysteries to be solved. I can't wait to read more and see if it goes in an occult, adventure or theological direction. ie Buffy, Indiana Jones or DaVinci Code. :-)
wow, not what I expected, but really woke up my mind this morning ... looking forward to the next installment. I wonder what turns a Jew from his orthodox upbringing to atheism - post graduation education, likely. This is a great story to read with DRAMATIC Mozart playing in the background.
Well, I read it again and there's still a lot I don't get. There are so many possibilities. I still give it a four the second time.
Thanks, Karen. Yes, there are many questions. For example...Where is Harvey? What does the scroll contain? Why did the Sacred Order give it away after 800 years? And exactly what did happen and who or what is really behind it? Seriously, email what you think, we'll throw it in the pot and see what happens next. Silly to review your own stuff, but I'll give it a 3 for effort and sign up for a creative writing course.
Wow. Different. Powerful. Many questions unanswered is right. This is not the kind of short story I am used to reading. It forces you to think. There is so much left open to interpretation, it also forces you to apply your own pre-conceived notions, and then to examine them. A courageous and risky piece, with rich undercurrents and so much below the surface that I am going have to let it sit a while then read it again.

The Rio Carnival experience was unique and unforgettable and our seats were wonderful. Loved the location of our hotel in Rio.

The Port of Copenhagen is the largest Danish seaport and one of the largest ports in the Baltic Sea basin. Copenhagen is situated on the island of Zealand facing the Oresund strait. With Sweden just minutes away by train, it is a link between mainland Europe and Scandinavia, and has a wealth of cultural and entertaining things to see and do. The city has a reputation for tolerance, the fascinating 'free city' of Christiania, a community of people who have tried to create an equal and just consensus-governed democracy for its people. There is more to here than Carlsberg and The Little Mermaid, and a trip to the wonderful Tivoli Gardens will leave the visitor in no doubt that this is a very special city.

Port Washington aldermen on Tuesday essentially rejected a recommendation to outlaw sky lanterns, a move that would have ended an annual Port Main Street Inc. community lantern launch that attracted hundreds of people last year. Taking action just weeks ahead of this year's Sept. 27 lantern launch from Coal Dock Park, the Common Council tabled the recommendation from the Police and Fire Commission indefinitely despite the fact Fire Chief Mark Mitchell noted other communities around the country are banning the paper lanterns because they are a fire hazard. "I have the utmost respect for you, chief, but I'm not buying it," said Ald. Paul Neumyer, who made the motion that was seconded by Ald. David Larson to table the recommendation. Ald. Kevin Rudser voted against shelving the recommendation to outlaw sky lanterns. "I propose we ultimately ban these effective after the Main Street event," he said.

Today's post is going to cover two commands you should always run when troubleshooting CompanyWeb (SharePoint) on SBS 2011 Standard. These two commands take less than a minute to run and will catch two of our most common CompanyWeb issues.
The commands must be ran as an administrator from the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell. You can launch the shell from All Programs > Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Products > SharePoint 2010 Management Shell.
From the shell you should first run:
This command will return nothing if the SharePoint service accounts are synced with Active Directory. If you receive an error here please use the following blog post to fix it: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/08/17/http-error-503-accessing-company-web-on-sbs-2011-standard.aspx
The second command you should run is:
(get-spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade
(get-spserver $env:computername).NeedsUpgrade
If this command returns True you must run PSCONFIG as described in the following blog post: http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2011/05/24/you-must-manually-run-psconfig-after-installing-sharepoint-2010-patches.aspx. If the command returns false you will need to troubleshoot your SharePoint issue as normal.

The national debt is a problem right now, not in 20 years
Unfortunately, annual deficits and the accumulated national debt are harming American adults right now.
Uncle Sam is a morbidly obese glutton with a bottomless appetite. Once he has waddled away from the buffet table, little remains for everyone else but bread sticks and several drops of soup.
David Malpass, a New York-based economist with Encima Global LLC and a former Reagan administration Treasury official, understands how Washington crowds out private-sector borrowers in order to finance reckless spending and service yesterday's debt.
Back in December 2009, Malpass explained in the Wall Street Journal how the Federal Reserve's purchases of Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities caused capital to be "rationed not on price but on availability and connections. The government gets the most, foreigners second, Wall Street and big companies third, with not much left over." Consequently, Malpass added, "for small businesses and new workers, capital rationing is devastating, spelling business failures and painful layoffs. Thousands of start-ups won't launch due to credit shortages, in part because the government and corporations took more credit than they needed."
Three years hence, the conditions that Malpass lamented linger like an unshakable low-grade flu. Between the end of September 2011 and the same date in 2012, total outstanding federal debt grew 12.3 percent, while corporate debt expanded by 5.9 percent. Among non-corporate businesses, it fell 1.2 percent. For households, it dropped 1.9 percent. This is anomalous, Malpass notes, since "small business credit has usually expanded at a faster rate than corporate credit."
This is a stunning plunge in lending to entrepreneurs and small businesses - the twin engines of job creation. "Credit markets once provided $300 billion to $550 billion net new credit per quarter to the non-financial private sector," Malpass recently observed. "This helped fund new investment, inventories and other working capital needs.Private sector credit increased only a net $66 billion in the third quarter of 2012."
Why should banks risk capital on innovative new companies with brilliant ideas when Washington dutifully repays interest and principle on those boring, old savings bonds - albeit with freshly printed cash?
And what happens when Uncle Sam devours most of the smorgasbord?
Unemployment reaches 7.9 percent while the economy contracts 0.1 percent in the fourth quarter of 2012. Rather than hire people and expand their operations, business managers bite their nails and fret that paying off the debt will unleash a stampede of new taxes.
Touchingly oblivious to all of this, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California told Fox News Sunday : "It is almost a false argument to say we have a spending problem."
If only Washington had a spending problem; it has a spending addiction. Congress and the White House should go cold turkey and terminate antiquated and destructive programs and agencies (e.g. depart the housing sector). From environmentally mundane western acreage to empty office buildings, federal assets should be privatized. Social Security and Medicare beneficiaries should face affluence tests. Also, the eligibility age of 65 to 67 should acknowledge that life expectancy is not 62 - as in 1935 (when Social Security began) - nor 70, as in 1965 (when Medicare commenced). Americans now typically stick around for 79 years.
With all due affection for the children and grandchildren, they eventually will feel the wrath of Obama's (so far) 55.5 percent national-debt hike. Meanwhile, trillion-dollar annual deficits, rampant borrowing, and the $16,519,246,387,401 national debt are punishing American individuals, families, and businesses oday.

Get your wellies out and your straw hat on for a weekend down on the farm like no other this July.
Taking over Gilcombe Farm in Somerset for one weekend at the end of July, Farm Festival is now in its 6th year - and is all set for its biggest year to date.
The independent music festival represents seriously amazing value, at just £35 for a full camping ticket - reduced to just £30 if you get it early.
Headliners for the Friday and Saturday night are Man Like Me and nineties favourites Dodgy, who'll be performing a set of classics and new material 16 years after their legendary performance to a packed out Other Stage down the road at some other Somerset festival.

Doyle & the Fourfathers are also booked; a band who headlined the aforementioned radio station's successful 'Save 6music' day. Brighton's Pope Joan and Barcelona's new hottest export Polock will be sharing the main stage on Saturday, both set to breakthrough in 2011.
It's not just breaking guitar bands at this year's Farmfestival; two heavyweight DJs will be headlining consecutive nights in the Farm Festival marquee. Legendary DJ Vadim graces the decks on the Friday with Finger Lickin Records (Krafty Kuts, A-Skillz, The Plump DJs) boss Justin Rushmore, aka Soul Of Man playing the Saturday night. Soul Of Mans string of backbeat classics in the late nineties shaped a whole generation of music makers while DJ Vadim has been at the forefront of hip hop, D&B, reggae and electronica genres since 1994; two DJs whose work cannot be ignored.

Love solidifying spot among NBA's elite
JAN 30, 2014 6:30p ET
MINNEAPOLIS -- After the Timberwolves' victory Wednesday against New Orleans -- their fifth win in six games -- Kevin Love abandoned his usual postgame spot for a less luxurious locale.
Rather than cool down in the tub while pumping some music through his ear buds, Love headed straight to Minnesota's Target Center basement weight room and executed a few lifts.
"I'm just weird like that sometimes," Love said. "Sometimes I just want to get in some extra work."
Weird, workaholic or whatever, that line of thinking is working. Both for Love and for the team he currently calls his own.
The accolades and metrics have been repeated ad nauseam in the past week -- All-Star starter, Team USA pillar, the NBA's No. 4 scorer and No. 2 rebounder, uniquely versatile stretch four, chaser of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Walton when it comes to all-around awe-worthy NBA seasons.
Love is on the record as considering himself an elite, world-class basketball player. His coach has a hard time disagreeing with him.
But at the rate Love's going, the rest of the hoops world can't help but take full notice, too.
Every coach that comes through town lauds Love and the problems he's about to present in that night's game. USA Basketball expressed similar praise when it welcomed with open arms Love's commitment last summer to play in the 2014 FIBA World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games.
"What more can you ask of a guy?" Suns coach Jeff Hornacek asked. "He does it all."
Said Oklahoma City head man Scott Brooks, a former Timberwolves player: "It's impressive that he just keeps getting better . . . he's definitely putting up MVP-like numbers."
And Dallas coach Rick Carlisle: "He's a statistical machine. . . . He's inside and outside and really all over the place."
This 25-point, 12.9-rebound, 4.1-assist season isn't some explosively new phenomenon. Love's coming-out party has been a lengthy, steady one, but his 2011-12 showing produced similar numbers (save for two less assists an outing) and solidified him as one of the game's best.
Then came last year, when Love played 18 games due to a hand injury, drew the scorn of fans and media and eventually blew up in a famed Yahoo Sports article expressing his displeasure with the franchise.
Wounds that include missing out on a max deal take a long time to heal. But in the past week, at least, Love has been nothing but grateful to the team and community he's a part of -- for now.
"We went through some ups and downs last year, obviously," Love said. "But for them to really come out and support this team -- not only myself, but the entire team -- the've been awesome."
Then again, Love's given them reason to be.
A potent rebounder since his rookie season and an increasingly effective scorer, Love's added a deft passing acumen to his arsenal and continued to sculpt his body. That's the product of a stringent offseason workout program and continued in-season workouts, including those sessions immediately after games when he doesn't have any other pressing obligations.
The stats may look a lot like 2011-12, but the player generating them is remarkably different, Adelman said.
"Two years ago, he had a great year, and I think last year was disappointing for everybody," Adelman said. "This year, he's came in, and I think he's a different player than two years ago. He's putting up almost the same numbers, but he's passing the ball better. There's more confidence; he knows he's gonna be on the floor for 36 minutes, and he's a player who can score 12 points in two minutes.
"I think people respect him. He's on the Olympic team. He's been an All-Star. I think everybody knows what kind of player he is."
But with Love's popularity have come increasingly audible murmurs of trade talk before his contract expires ahead of the 2015-16 season. There's a perception he remains ultimately unhappy here and sees greener pastures on the West Coast he called home while growing up.
President of basketball operations Flip Saunders says he adamantly plans on keeping Love around for the long haul. He may have had some help in the past month from the folks who buy tickets and merchandise.
"I think I've worked very hard throughout my entire career," said Love, the fifth overall pick in the 2008 draft. "I worked really hard this last offseason. I told the fans that I would, and hopefully my play this year has, you know, obviously helped them vote for me and . . . it's hard to put into words.
"I've definitely come a long ways, but without the fans I wouldn't be where I'm at today."
And the franchise, which finally got over the .500 hump Wednesday and is in position to break a nine-year playoff drought, wouldn't be where it's at without Love.
If it weren't for another guy named Kevin in Oklahoma City consistently racking up 30 points a night, Timberwolves point guard Ricky Rubio would be already be campaigning to see Love earn player of the year honors.
"He's had an unbelievable season," Rubio said. "Putting up numbers to get MVP votes, too -- well, with Kevin Durant playing like that, it's different -- but he's putting up numbers and helping us to win games."

For Anna Faris, being named one of PEOPLE's Ones to Watch was doubly exciting – while she was "flattered" to get the honor, the mom of 14-month-old son Jack was just excited to be getting out of the house.
"I have a baby, I don't get to do this very often," the Mom star, 36, told PEOPLE at an event celebrating the honorees at Hinoki & The Bird restaurant in L.A. on Wednesday night.
Admitting she was excited to get inside and enjoy the "amazing food and amazing company" the 36-year-old said "it's surreal" to be named on this year's list alongside Benedict Cumberbatch, Rebel Wilson and country music newcomer Kacey Musgraves.

Whether a goofball comedian like Andy Samberg or an Oscar-contender such as Fruitvale Station's Michael B. Jordan, this year's coveted list of PEOPLE's Ones to Watch has something for everyone.
Samberg, who stars in Fox's new police comedy Brooklyn Nine-Nine, says the family member most proud of his success is his father.
"There's a joke now that my dad will somehow find a way to work into a conversation anywhere with anyone that I'm his son," says the actor, laughing. "Probably to try and leverage it to get free stuff. Where they live that happens about one in every thousand times because no one cares, but bless his heart for trying."
What You Missed Over The Weekend

Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg married singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom Saturday, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
The Saturday Night Live alum, 35, and his girlfriend of five years tied the knot in Big Sur at the Post Ranch Inn.
The bride wore a custom Zac Posen gown and a one-of-a-kind tiara and custom earrings by Irene Neuwirth. The groom wore a custom David Hart suit.
Samberg and Newsom, 31, have been engaged since February.

Arrivederci, Vinny Vedecci. So long, Stefon.
Bill Hader will be leaving Saturday Night Live after its season finale this Saturday – and he's taking his arsenal of spot-on impersonations and wacky characters with him, reports The New York Times.
"It was a hard decision, but it has to happen at some point," Hader told the Times. "It got to a point where I said, 'Maybe it's just time to go.' "

Very little time at Monday's FOX 2013-14 upfront presentation was devoted to the elephant in New York's Beacon Theater – America Idol's
troubled, near-completed season – except to compare the show's long-running success to Gunsmoke's.
This caused a moment's pause, not only with the thought that the incredibly influential, always buzzed-about Idol could ever be gone, but also with the reflection that at some time in the future it would be completely irrelevant. Ah well.
The bulk of FOX's smoothly clockwork presentation, of course, kept an eye on that future, at least a few months from now, with clips of upcoming shows. Nothing looked as remotely silly as last year's short-lived Mob Doctor, which was a relief, and there were several premieres that will have people talking:

Justin Timberlake brought sexy back – and plenty of A-list wattage – to his sold-out concert at Roseland Ballroom in New York on Sunday night.
Performing songs from his new album The 20/20 Experience during a two-hour show, the pop star was supported by his wife Jessica Biel and pals like Jason Sudeikis, Olivia Wilde, Andy Samberg, Joanna Newsom, Brooke Shields and Uma Thurman.
Biel, dressed in a navy tank top and white pants, had a blast rocking out in the VIP mezzanine area during the show, which was sponsored by MasterCard. "She knew all the words to his songs and was dancing the whole time," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She looked very proud."

Forget sexy.
Justin Timberlake's bringing funny back, slowly and steadily building up a catalogue of side-splitting sketches on Saturday Night Live, duets with Andy Samberg's The Lonely Island and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon that showcase the former Mickey Mouse Club member's comedy skills.
From the street busker skit, "Homelessville" to the viral "History of Rap" skit, check out some of Timberlake's best moments.

Over the past few days, Hollywood has been engulfed in Oscar mania.
But even as best dressed lists, touching acceptance speeches and an appearance by the First Lady at the Academy Awards dominated the headlines, a few stars managed to reveal big news of their own.
Here's what you might have missed:

The former Saturday Night Live funnyman popped the question to singer-songwriter Joanna Newsom after five years together, Samberg's rep confirms to PEOPLE.
In addition to her role as a singer-songwriter, Newsom, 31, also plays the harp, piano and harpsichord.
The Celeste and Jesse Forever actor, 34, and Newsom attended the Independent Spirit Awards together on Saturday, which Samberg hosted.

German GP: Thursday Press Conference
Nico, if we could start with you. Points in every race so far this season, only you and [Fernando] Alonso have managed that so far and you're seven to two against your team-mate in qualifying. How positive is that for you and how do you think that is perceived within the Formula One paddock?Nico Hulkenberg: I think it's very positive in general. I think it's a very good achievement to have scored points in every race - probably Nico and Lewis would have been the same without the technical failures. I think it has been a very positive start to the season, first half, many, many points, much better than we expected going into the season and I think that is also the perception of the paddock....

statusz is a simple Ruby tool to display deploy-time and runtime server information. It is useful if your project meets the following criteria:
- It lives in git.
- It's deployed using some kind of unix-y OS.
- It uses some kind of ruby-based deployment system (not strictly necessary)
It is especially useful if your project is a web server, but this isn't necessary.
statusz helps you quickly tell what version of the code is actually running on your server, and who most recently deployed it. It's particularly useful in environments where developers deploy the code.
gem install statusz
statusz requires Ruby -- it's tested with 1.9.3, but probably works with 1.8.7 and 1.9.2 and many other versions as well.
First, decide how you are going to use statusz. There are two parts to statusz: a method that you call from
your deployment scripts (
Statusz.write_file) that writes out some deploy-time information (date, current
user, and git information) to a file. Then, there is a server component. You can either use
Statusz.render_from_json directly in a web app, or use the rack application
Statusz::Server to serve
statusz pages.
You may use either the deployment or the server parts of statusz, or both.
Using the deploy component without the runtime component
You may wish to use statusz in your deployment, but not in your server (for example, if your application is
not written in Ruby, or is not a web server, or if all the status information you wish to display is available
at deploy time). In this case, you can just write out a flat file at deployment time and ship it with the rest
of your application. Write out a text file (
:format => :text) if your application will not serve the status
(that way it will sit on the app server where someone can easily find it and inspect it). If your application
can serve static html, write out an html file (
:format => :html) and then serve it in your app:
Here's how we serve it from one of our sinatra servers:
get "/statusz" do
statusz_file = File.join(settings.root, "statusz.html")
File.file?(statusz_file) ? send_file(statusz_file) : "No deploy data."
See "Deployment", below, for more information about using the
Statusz.write_file method.
Using the runtime component without the server component
You might choose to use only the runtime components of statusz if you only want to display runtime information
on your status page. There are two different ways to use statusz at runtime: you can either make use of the
Statusz.render_from_json method, or use the
Statusz::Server Rack application. In either case, you'll want
to set
filename = nil to indicate that there is no deploy-time information available.
See "Runtime", below, for more information about
Statusz.render_from_json and
Using statusz in both your deployment and at runtime
You can use both parts of statusz together to display both deploy-time and runtime status information. If you do this, you'll need to write out a json-formatted statusz file at deploy time:
Statusz.write_file("statusz.json", :format => :json)
and then use that file at runtime:
Statusz.render_from_json("./statusz.json", :html, :db_host => "dbslave1.example.com")
# or
Statusz::Server.new("./statusz.json",:db_host => "dbslave1.example.com")
See "Deployment" and "Runtime" below for more information.
Statusz writes out deploy-time information with
Statusz.write_file. This can take a few options, but it has
sensible defaults.
# Somewhere in your deploy scripts, probably where you stage the files before you rsync them:
require "statusz"
This writes out a single flat html file,
statusz.html, which you can ship with your app (if you're not using
the runtime server components of statusz -- see below).
Now you can serve up the file from your webserver however you like. If you have a public folder, you can drop the file in there.
If you want statusz to write a plain text file or json instead of an html file, you can do that:
Statusz.write_file("statusz.txt", :format => :text) # or :format => :json
If you're deploying a commit other than HEAD of the current branch, you can give statusz a treeish identifying it (sha or symbolic ref):
Statusz.write_file("statusz.html", :commit => "HEAD~3")
If you want statusz to only write some of the fields (skip
commit_search to save space -- this field
contains the sha of every ancestor of the latest commit in your repo, so it can be kind of large):
Statusz.write_file("statusz.html", :fields => ["latest commit", "date", "git user info"])
Here are the possible fields -- by default, statusz will write them all:
"git directory"-- The name of the directory at the git root
"latest commit"-- The sha of the latest commit
"containing branches"-- The name of the branches, if any, that contain the latest commit
"date"-- Timestamp
"current user on deploy host"-- The output of
"git user info"-- The user name and email in git
"all commits"-- A list of all ancestors of the latest commit. In the html version, it's a search box.
Statusz.write_file can write out extra arbitrary fields if you want. Just attach a hash of objects that have
to_s representations:
Statusz.write_file("statusz.html", :extra_fields => { "database host" => "dbslave3.example.com" })
If you want to display some status information that is only available at runtime, then you can use one of statusz's two runtime components. In either case, you'll need to write a json-formatted statusz file in your deployment, or else not write any statusz file at deploy time.
If your application is a Ruby web server, you can serve statusz pages at (e.g. at
/statusz) using the
Statusz.render_from_json method.
Here's how you might do this in a Sinatra server:
get "/statusz" do
db_host = get_db_host_info[0] # Some dynamic information
Statusz.render_from_json("./statusz.json", :html, "db host" => db_host)
See the
example/ directory for a small Sinatra application that further illustrates this usage.
The other option, useful if your project is not a web application (or not written in Ruby) is to use the
Statusz::Server rack application. You instantiate the app with your
statusz.json file and any extra
runtime parameters you wish to include; it will then serve requests with the appropriate statusz page.
Statusz::Server looks at file extensions to determine the output format, so if the request ends in
it serves the json-formatted statusz, and similarly for
.txt and
.html. (Default is html, if there is no
rack_example/ for a small example of a
Statusz::Server application.
Besides this document, you can see a couple of small examples in
example/ and
rack_example/ and you may
also consult the method-level documentation.
